Chapter 1109: State Guest Hotel
Chen Yu is not the type of person to quibble over trifles; if he wants to follow, let him follow. In any case, he has truly seen plenty of such snobbish, petty people.
It's just that this guy has been playing the role of a sycophant along the way: "Jingjing, my friend opened a high-end restaurant in S Country. I'll take you there; it's very popular."
"No need. I'll just stick with Chen Yu. If you want to go, then go," Liang Jing said indifferently.
"S Country has only just opened up, and all the facilities are very backward. My friend's restaurant is very high-end, but ordinary people have to queue to get in. Besides, he has connections; I'll find a way to get him to secure an admission ticket for the State Guest Hotel in S Country."
This guy didn't miss the opportunity to show off his connections: "Do you know what kind of place the State Guest Hotel is?"
"I know. It's a place in S Country specifically for serving leaders. Many of our country's leaders who have visited here were received at the State Guest Hotel," Liang Jing said. "Let's forget about that place; it's not somewhere ordinary people like us can go."
"Haha, that's nothing. I have many friends, and he does business with the S Country officials. He will have a way. Let's go," Wang Qiang laughed.
"That's true. The turmoil in S Country has just ended. Although they are on good terms with our Huaxia, and many places have only just received aid, it is indeed not easy to find a suitable place to eat," Chen Yu nodded slightly.
"How about this, let's go to the State Guest Hotel to eat," Chen Yu said.
"What are you saying, Chen Yu? Don't you know what kind of place the State Guest Hotel is? That is a place for receiving foreign Heads of State. Not long ago, the big shots from our Huaxia Ministry of Commerce were received there. It's fine that you own a mine, but wanting to go to a place like that to eat, I'm afraid it won't be easy," Wang Qiang sneered.
"There's nothing difficult about it; it's not a big deal," Chen Yu said with a chuckle. "I'll have someone send a car to pick us up immediately. Wait a moment."
"There's no need to go to such trouble, really," Liang Jing smiled; she didn't want to trouble Chen Yu.
"It's fine. I'm familiar with the people over there. I'll just say a word," Chen Yu laughed.
"Alright then..." Liang Jing nodded. Since Chen Yu was so hospitable, she felt embarrassed to refuse directly.
Wang Qiang, standing to the side, sneered. He did not believe Chen Yu had such great influence.
One must know that, apart from the very top figures in S Country themselves, no one else is qualified to enter the State Guest Hotel to dine.
Moreover, this place is not open to the public at all. Chen Yu says he can just walk in? What a joke. Does he think Wang Qiang is ignorant?
Chen Yu made a call to have a car sent over to pick them up. After all, the State Guest Hotel is located within the Council Building of S Country, and ordinary people cannot enter.
"Chen Yu, you have quite the wild connections in S Country," Wang Qiang said. Seeing Chen Yu call for a car, he became increasingly annoyed; he felt that Chen Yu was just putting on an act.
"It's alright," Chen Yu said indifferently.
"The State Guest Hotel is not somewhere ordinary people can enter. Apart from receiving foreign leaders, that place is only open to members of the Council of their own country. Can you really get in?" Wang Qiang asked.
"Whether I can get in or not, won't you find out very soon?" Chen Yu glanced at Wang Qiang.
Wang Qiang sneered. He would just quietly watch Chen Yu brag; he wanted to see when Chen Yu's bluff would be called.
Just at this moment, a sedan drove over. This sedan was an A8. It doesn't count as a very high-end luxury car back home, but in S Country, it was already top-tier.
Moreover, there was only one such car, and the license plate was 010000. This car was the exclusive vehicle of the S Country Head of State, Mr. Ming—a bulletproof body, the only one of its kind.
"Alright, our car has arrived. Let's get in," Chen Yu laughed.
"Chen Yu, are you crazy? You're getting in this car? You've been hanging around S Country—don't you know what this car is?" Wang Qiang was shocked. Was Chen Yu's brain not working right?
"I know. This is Mr. Ming's vehicle," Chen Yu smiled slightly. "If you want to have a meal at the State Guest Hotel, you really can't go without this car."
"You—you're saying this car came to pick us up?" Wang Qiang was almost going crazy; he didn't believe this was real.
But he watched with his own eyes as the driver got out and opened the door for Chen Yu. Chen Yu took Liang Jing and got in; this car had indeed come to pick them up.
"Wang Qiang, are you coming or not? If you aren't, we're leaving. Oh, or you could go find your friend and see if your friend can get an admission ticket for the State Guest Hotel," Chen Yu shouted toward Wang Qiang.
In fact, Chen Yu knew clearly that the State Guest Hotel was absolutely impossible to open to the public; even royalty wouldn't be allowed. Wang Qiang's so-called friend was likely just bragging, but Wang Qiang believed it implicitly.
And this guy had been arrogant from the moment he arrived here. He wanted to show off his connections and strength at every moment, yet he was suppressed by Chen Yu at every turn. This time, Chen Yu had suppressed him so much he couldn't even lift his head.
Wang Qiang gritted his teeth and got into the car; he wanted to see exactly what kind of person Chen Yu was.
Sure enough, the car drove all the way into the State Guest Hotel. This place could be called the Council Headquarters of S Country; it was the place where the country handled its political affairs.
Even after getting out of the car, Wang Qiang was a bit dazed. Although S Country was a small nation, the most important place in a country was not somewhere one could just walk in and out of.
But now he had actually arrived at the administrative center of S Country, which made him find it hard to believe.
The standards inside the State Guest Hotel were extremely high; it could be considered the most luxurious place in S Country. Just as they reached the entrance, Amin came up to greet them. He bowed slightly to Chen Yu: "Mr. Chen, you've arrived."
"I have a friend who wants to come in and taste the State Banquet, so I brought him over," Chen Yu laughed. "I haven't caused you any trouble, have I?"
"No. Mr. Chen's friends are friends of S Country. Mr. Chen, please," Amin bowed respectfully.
Chen Yu walked in with Liang Jing, and Wang Qiang naturally followed. He saw that Amin had an extraordinary bearing and was just wondering what Amin's identity was when a figure flashed, and a middle-aged man walked over.
And this man was none other than the leader of S Country, Mr. Ming.
Some time ago, Mr. Ming had visited Huaxia in a diplomatic capacity and signed a series of agreements with Huaxia, ensuring friendly mutual assistance between the two nations in the future.
Therefore, Mr. Ming's arrival left Liang Jing and Wang Qiang almost dumbfounded.
"Mr. Chen, long time no see," Mr. Ming stepped forward enthusiastically and shook hands with Chen Yu.
"Haha, sorry to disturb you, Mr. Ming. My friend, Liang Jing, is in the jade business. She came here hoping to get a batch of raw materials to take back," Chen Yu introduced Liang Jing.
"Good. Miss Liang, it is an honor," Mr. Ming smiled and shook hands with Liang Jing. "The Emerald in our S Country is the best in the world. I hope Miss Liang can find satisfactory raw materials here."
