Chapter 316: Peace Hotel

~7 min read 1,310 words

Zhou Andong also didn't know that far away in Jiangzhou, a problematic teenager named Liu Feng who went to the police station to surrender would become his right-hand man more than ten years later.

The train slowly pulled into the Shanghai station. Zhou Andong and his party of four got off the train and came to the exit, where they saw a long-legged girl in her twenties, dressed very trendily, waving.

"Sixth Brother!"

"Here!" Xiao Liuzi shouted happily, squeezed through the crowd, and walked over, "Where is Yanzi?"

The girl smiled and said: "Yanzi has a date, so she asked me to pick you up."

Xiao Liuzi said dissatisfiedly: "Whose date? Is it more important than me, her own brother?"

The girl said: "Of course it's a date with her boyfriend."

"What?" Xiao Liuzi was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, shouting sharply: "She's dating?"

"What do you mean dating!" The girl said: "That's called falling in love."

Xiao Liuzi said domineeringly: "Whether it's dating or falling in love, it's definitely not allowed."

The girl giggled: "My mom introduced him, and Second Aunt and Second Uncle also know and support it very much."

Xiao Liuzi blinked, as if the conversation just now hadn't happened, and said with a straight face.

"Xiao Ya, let me introduce you. This is Gu Bing, you, Zhou Andong, Brother Dong, Song Mao, Brother Mao."

"Brother Gu, Brother Dong, Brother Mao!" Guan Tingya called them one by one.

Xiao Liuzi introduced again: "Guan Tingya, from my old uncle's side."

The group got familiar with each other and got into a Mercedes-Benz parked on the side of the road.

"The hotel is booked, right?" Xiao Liuzi asked.

"Booked, Peace Hotel. And there is a big event tonight, I'll take you in to play."

Xiao Liuzi curled his lips: "We have hands and feet, do we need you to take us?"

Guan Tingya said with a giggle: "If you can get in, I'll promise you one condition, as long as I can do it. But if you can't get in, you also have to promise me one condition."

Xiao Liuzi didn't agree with a hot head. This guy isn't stupid. Since Guan Tingya said so, there must be a problem.

"What kind of event is being held? Foreign affairs?"

Guan Tingya nodded: "You could say that."

Xiao Liuzi asked unwillingly: "Not even one Chinese person is allowed to participate?"

Guan Tingya said: "Not necessarily, female companions brought by foreigners are still allowed to participate."

Xiao Liuzi's face turned black, and he cursed: "***!"

Guan Tingya laughed loudly: "Don't have such big resentment, I'll just take you in, and you can have a free big meal."

The Shanghai Bund is called the World Architecture Expo. It has two centers. One is the Customs House and the former HSBC building, with a dome and clock tower. The other is the Peace Hotel and the Bank of China, standing side by side.

In his previous life, Zhou Andong had been to the Bund more than once and had stayed at the Peace Hotel for one night, but that was after it was renovated and reopened in 2010. He was also very curious and expectant about what it looked like inside before the renovation.

But when he entered the Peace Hotel, he was stunned, because the style inside was not much different from after 2010.

He didn't know that the Peace Hotel had undergone two major renovations. One was in 1996, but after the changes, it was criticized by many, and the effect was not ideal.

The second time was in 2007, when it cooperated with the old North American luxury hotel brand Fairmont to renovate again, not only upgrading the water, electricity, wind, fire, and pipeline systems but also maximizing the preservation and restoration of historical features, which is to say, restoring it to its appearance before the 1980s.

Therefore, the style of the Peace Hotel that Zhou Andong saw was similar to the style after the 2010 renovation. If there was a difference, it was that the Peace Hotel at this time had more historical vicissitudes. Like an old aristocrat, a living history.

Guan Tingya actually booked the legendary theme suite. In his previous life, when Zhou Andong came, he had only heard of it and couldn't bear to stay there. This time, it could be considered borrowing Xiao Liuzi's light to be corrupt once.

Arriving at the room, it was an Italian theme suite. Zhou Andong walked around inside for several laps by himself.

"Damn capitalism, too corrupt, but damn, why do I like it so much?" Then he came to the bedroom, leaped, and lay on the soft bed.

"So comfortable, I must bring Xiao Qiuchiu to stay for a few days in the future."

After lying for a while, not knowing what he thought of, he smiled happily. That look, no matter how you look at it, was lewd.

"Slap, slap, slap..."

The door was knocked, and Song Mao's voice came: "Brother Dong, after you finish packing, go to Brother Six's room."

"Got it!" Zhou Andong took a shower, then changed his clothes. Outside, the lights were already on.

Thinking about it, he sat down and quickly dialed a string of numbers on the bedside phone. Because the Peace Hotel often received foreign friends, the phones were all program-controlled, and making international long-distance calls was very convenient.

It was past 7:00 PM now. At this time in London, it should be past 12:00 PM. I don't know if Seeing Jian Qiu would be at the hotel.

What surprised him was that after only two rings, Seeing Jian Qiu's voice came: "Dongzi?"

Zhou Andong said: "If it's not me, who else could call you?"

Seeing Jian Qiu smiled and said: "Virtue, besides you, someone often calls to care about me, do you dare to say?"

Zhou Andong gave a dry laugh: "That, how is your preparation over there?"

Seeing Jian Qiu said: "No problem anymore. If your prediction is not wrong, this time we will definitely dig a piece of meat off the British guys."

Zhou Andong said: "Did you contact the company I asked you to contact?"

Seeing Jian Qiu said: "I am contacting them, but it's not very easy to negotiate."

Zhou Andong said: "It doesn't matter, one day they will agree."

"You are so sure?" Seeing Jian Qiu was a bit skeptical.

Zhou Andong said: "You have to believe in your husband's judgment. Once we take down this company and monopolize rare earths, holding the lifeline of the West, we will have succeeded halfway."

Seeing Jian Qiu said: "I will try my best to negotiate with them."

"There's no need for that." Zhou Andong said: "Just keep contacting them, let them know we exist, that's enough."

"Okay!" Seeing Jian Qiu asked: "Do you want to come to London to play for a few days?"

Zhou Andong smiled and said: "Aren't you afraid of your old Buddha knowing?"

"Know if she knows!" Seeing Jian Qiu laughed, "She drove me here, what else can she do to me?"

Zhou Andong was very tempted, but thinking about the hidden danger of Pang Yong not being eradicated, he could only sigh.

"I'm going to Xiangjiang tomorrow; I have very important things to do. After I finish, I'll find time to go to London."

Seeing Jian Qiu was very disappointed: "What are you going to Xiangjiang for?"

Zhou Andong didn't know how to say it: "This matter is very important and very complicated. Let's talk when we meet."

Seeing Jian Qiu didn't ask again. The two chatted on the phone for half an hour, and it wasn't until there was another knock on the door outside that Zhou Andong hung up the phone very dissatisfied.

"Going to die, what are you knocking for?" ===== CHAPTER 317 =====
