Chapter 496 Brother
"Liu Sheng, Mrs. Liu, when you two got married, I happened to have a task to go abroad. I was really sorry that I was unable to attend your wedding." Zheng Zhiyuan looked apologized outside the gate of Hong Kong Island International Airport.
"Haha, Manager Zheng, you're so polite. You'll be very proud of me when the hot spring resort opened that day." Liu Mo'ang said with a smile.
"No, no, Liu Sheng, the opening of your hot spring resort is just a commercial act. With your strength and potential, more hotels or factories and mining companies will be opened in the future. But marriage is different. There is only one time in a person's life. It's a pity and apologies for me to fail to catch up with your wedding. So, I hope you two can give me a chance to make up for it with a meal, okay?"
Chu Qian held Liu Mo'ang's arm and smiled, "Manager Zheng, then Mo'ang and I will take a break from your kindness." Chu Qian still likes Mrs. Liu's name, and this is the first time someone calls her like this.
It's just a meal, it really doesn't matter.
After getting into the Mercedes-Benz, Zheng Zhiyuan asked: "Liu Sheng, Madam Liu, you two have really got two top-quality natural black pearls in Tahiti?"
Liu Mo'ang and Chu Qian were confused, "No, how could you know this news?" Liu Mo'ang asked.
"Oh, you don't know. Now this news is spreading throughout the jewelry circle." Zheng Zhiyuan began to tremble again. Liu Mo'ang hurriedly said: "I said to Lao Zheng, take a deep breath, take a deep breath, don't be excited, let's say something slowly."
Zheng Zhiyuan took two deep breaths as he spoke, then said: "Yesterday morning, the staff of our company's procurement department in Tahiti sent a message back, saying that a young Chinese couple found three wild black butterfly shells in a black pearl farm on Bora Bora Island, and two top-grade natural black pearls with a particle size of nearly 20 mm were opened from them..."
Because the plane from Tahiti to Osaka needs to stop, the flight time alone takes 25 or 6 hours. In addition, there is an 18-hour time difference between Tahiti and China, so the time here is a bit different from that there.
Zheng Zhiyuan explained the general situation. As the largest jewelry group in Hong Kong Island, Dafu Jewelry naturally has a purchasing department in the origin of Black Pearls. Zheng Zhiyuan, as the purchasing department manager of the headquarters of Dafu Jewelry Group, naturally knew this news.
"When it was evening yesterday, another message came from there, saying that the Chinese couple took a flight to Osaka. Many people from jewelry companies rushed outside Osaka Kansai Airport to pick up the Chinese couple. Haha, our company also sent someone there. Unexpectedly, the person who got the two black pearls turned out to be you..."
Liu Mo'ang smiled bitterly and touched his nose, "Old Zheng, it's really not to be hiding, those two black pearls are indeed in my hands. This time I came to Hong Kong Island from Osaka to entrust Master Tan to create a ring and a necklace pendant for me..."
"Oh, why are you polite between you and me? This is OK..." Zheng Zhiyuan agreed immediately.
Even if he doesn't agree, Tan Zhi will definitely not be able to get through.
Zheng Zhiyuan knew very well that since the last time the man in front of him took out a piece of top-quality mutton fat jade for Master Tan to carve ornaments, even if Tan Zhi completely owe the young man in front of him a favor. Now, although it seems that Boss Liu asked Master Tan to take action again, he still took out the top-level natural black pearls.
Such top-level materials are unparalleled to any master in the jewelry industry. Using such top-level materials to create top-level jewelry is something that any master of jewelry is eager for.
The value of these two natural black pearls may not be as valuable as that of top diamonds or jade, but this thing is really rare.
On the way, Zheng Zhiyuan called Tan Zhi and told Master Tan the good news.
Because it was almost eight o'clock in the evening, and Zheng Zhiyuan had to treat him, Liu Mo'ang and Chu Qian endured the difficulties and fatigue caused by the jet lag and agreed to have a meal together.
However, when he heard that Zheng Zhiyuan was preparing to book a French restaurant at the Four Seasons Hotel, Liu Mo'ang quickly stopped him and said, "Old Zheng, don't be polite, just eat something simple. Qianqian and I were both abroad this month, and we had enough Western food. Just come and have some special snacks in Hong Kong."
Chu Qian nodded violently from the side, and then Zheng Zhiyuan gave up planning to go to the French restaurant at Four Seasons Hotel to have a French meal.
Finally, the car drove all the way to Gefu Street in Central, where there was a very famous snack bar in Hong Kong - Jiuji Beef Brisket.
Looking at the small restaurant where the door is at a corner, with a small entrance but with many customers waiting in line, Liu Mo'ang and Chu Qian knew that the Jiuji beef brisket brought by Lao Zheng was not simple. Especially after entering the store, they saw many photos hanging on the walls, and they understood even more.
Principal Tan, brother, Thirteenth Aunt, Liu Tianwang... The one who took a photo with these superstars is probably the owner of this store.
Zheng Zhiyuan seemed very familiar with this place. Even though there were many customers queuing outside, he still called, said a few words, led the two of them into the store familiarly and went to the back. After three or two turns, he arrived at a small private room.
"Our company has a year-round private room here..." Zheng Zhiyuan explained.
A large bowl of beef brisket was pussed with belly, and Liu Mo'ang and Chu Qian both sweated. However, the taste of this beef brisket is really authentic. Even northerners like Liu Mo'ang were so excited.
"This restaurant is very famous here, with a history of more than 80 years. But we came late today. The best soup beef brisket and beef brisket phono noodle will be sold after 5:30 pm. After 9:30 pm, there will be only rice noodles and close at 10:30 pm." Zheng Zhiyuan also ate a bowl of ivy noodles, but he was really familiar with it when he said it.
"Why did such a good business close so early? Didn't your Hong Kong Island be considered the beginning of nightlife after twelve o'clock?" Liu Mo'ang asked in confusion.
"He has a very hot business here, and all the beef briskets cooked in the morning were sold out in the afternoon..." Zheng Zhiyuan spread his hands and looked helpless.
Chu Qian smiled and said, "There is really no one else in this business."
As soon as he was full, Zheng Zhiyuan received a call from Tan Zhi. The master rushed over from home in a daze...
After nine beef briskets were released, Zheng Zhiyuan said: "Have you booked a hotel?"
Liu Mo'ang nodded and said, "I've booked it, right at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel."
"That's right, it's only one kilometer away from here. Should I take a walk?" Tan Zhi said with a smile.
"Okay, I can just feel the night in Hong Kong. This is my first time here in Hong Kong."
Zheng Zhiyuan turned around and said to the driver, then said, "I'll ask the driver to pull your luggage to the hotel first, let's go over."
Hong Kong Island is at around 9 o'clock in the evening when it is the most lively time of the day. The sultry daylight drives people to air-conditioned rooms, and most of them will go out to play, eat, and go shopping at night.
Walking on the narrow and curved street near the Central Ring Road, watching the crowds, Liu Mo'ang seemed to have come alive all of a sudden.
The places I went to during my honeymoon before, except for the limited cities such as Paris and Los Angeles, there were very few people in other places. Even on Bora Bora, I couldn’t see so many people.
Now I suddenly saw so many yellow-skinned and dark-haired compatriots, and the familiar feeling returned to the couple.
The nights on Hong Kong Island are undoubtedly very beautiful, but for a northerner, especially those who have been on the plateau for so long, Liu Mo'ang couldn't stand the sultry weather on Hong Kong Island.
Even though Hong Kong Island is a coastal city, in June, the night here is still hot and hard to catch.
Although Tahiti is also a tropical region, it is an archipelago surrounded by the Pacific Ocean and is in the southern hemisphere, which is more comfortable both during the day and at night.
Chu Qian has been to Hong Kong Island several times, and she is quite familiar with the Central area. Along the way, she told Liu Mo'ang a lot about this.
About ten minutes later, the group walked to the Mandarin Oriental Hotel.
Looking at this famous square building with more than 20 floors covered by neon lights, Chu Qian was stunned for a while and said with emotion: "Husband, why didn't you tell me when you booked a hotel before?"
Liu Mo'ang was stunned for a moment, "What's wrong? Isn't this hotel very good? I found out online that this hotel is one of the best top hotels in Hong Kong, and it is in Central, with a good location, so I booked a room here. And you knew it a long time ago, and you didn't say anything at that time."
Chu Qian said quietly: "I have no other meaning. I didn't feel anything when I heard you say it was the Mandarin Oriental Hotel before, but when I saw this hotel with my own eyes, that kind of emotion suddenly came out."
Liu Mo'ang asked curiously: "What? Are you not satisfied with this hotel? If you are not satisfied, let's change it."
Chu Qian shook her head and said, "No, I'm quite satisfied with this hotel. It's just..." She shook her head, sighed and continued, "Seventeen years ago, my brother jumped down from the fitness room on the 24th floor of this hotel..."
"Brother?" Liu Mo'ang was also stunned, "Isn't Chu Feng fine? Why did he jump out of here again? Wife, don't scare me."
Liu Mo'ang's words not only made Chu Qian laugh and cry, but even Zheng Zhiyuan and Tan Zhi were laugh and cry. They also knew Chu Qian's brother Chu Feng.
Zheng Zhiyuan whispered: "Mrs. Liu refers to Leslie Cheung..."
Liu Mo'ang was stunned for a long time...
"Damn..."
