Chapter 180: First Impression of Qiong Province
In the past two thousand years, there were relatively few people taking planes as a means of transportation. Zhao Hongtao knew that it was Fang Yi's first time flying, so he gave him the position of the window so that after the plane took off, Fang Yi could see the sea of clouds outside the window.
"Hmm? Fang Yi, what's wrong with you?" When the roar of the plane's engine sounded and the plane slowly drove onto the runway, Zhao Hongtao suddenly found that Fang Yi's face turned pale and his body was trembling slightly.
"I'm a little unaccustomed to it. I don't know if this guy can fly into the sky..."
Fang Yi looked at Zhao Hongtao with a wry smile. Fang Yi was not worried before taking the plane, but after sitting on this steel-structured plane, a feeling of inability to control arises. If it weren't for the feeling of the expensive air ticket, Fang Yi would have the intention to get off the plane at this moment.
"It's okay, the plane is still very safe. Look at these magazines to divert attention..." After hearing Fang Yi's words, Zhao Hongtao immediately understood. It turned out that Fang Yi felt fear in his heart when he took a plane for the first time.
However, Zhao Hongtao did not laugh at Fang Yi. When he took the plane for the first time, he was even more unbearable. At that time, he grabbed the hand of a flight attendant and did not release until the plane landed. The flight attendant almost sued Zhao Hongtao for harassment to the ground crew.
"There are all luxury goods on it. Take a look at it carefully. Many luxury goods are value-preserving and sometimes they will participate in auctions. You can also learn these convenient knowledge..."
Zhao Hongtao flipped through the magazine and handed it to Fang Yi. This is a magazine introducing Swiss famous watches. From Patek Philippe to Rolex, there are photos with commentary, which almost covers all famous watches in Switzerland.
"Well? Why don't you have a pocket watch like me?" Zhao Hongtao's method was indeed very effective. When Fang Yi opened the magazine, his attention was immediately diverted.
"Your watch is an antique watch, these are new models every year. In terms of price, your watch is much more expensive than these..." Zhao Hongtao was still obsessed with Fang Yi's watch. He was handmade gold watches in the last century, and now they can almost be sold at sky-high prices.
The two were chatting, and the plane had already taken off into the air. Fang Yi didn't feel very special this time. Anyway, everyone had already come up, so let's be at ease since they came. But Fang Yi inadvertently tightened the safety belt on his body.
When the plane first took off, through the window, Fang Yi could see the scenery below as it kept getting smaller. The fields seemed to have suddenly become pocket-sized versions, and the long road meandered like a silk thread running through the ground below.
When the plane continued to climb to a high altitude, a ray of sunlight passed through the thick clouds and suddenly shone on the glass of the cabin. Looking out, the vast sea of clouds outside the window made Fang Yi feel shocked. The sea of clouds that covered the sky and the boundless sun flashed in the sun, and the scenery was very spectacular.
"No wonder after entering modern times, technology has flourished and Taoism has become weak..."
Looking at the scenery outside, Fang Yi sighed in his heart. Human power can use technology to fulfill the dream of ancient people flying into the sky and even Chang'e flying to the moon. However, in the Taoist Dharma, it seems that only by practicing to the realm of rising clouds can the sky be wide and free, right?
Amidst thinking and nervousness, Fang Yi ended his first air flight. When the plane landed steadily at Qiong Province International Airport, Fang Yi felt relieved. The four words "no surprise and no danger" were enough to describe his voyage this time.
Accompanying Zhao Hongtao to get the checked luggage, the two walked out of the airport exit. When they walked out of the glass door, a heat wave mixed with the tide of the sea came, which made Fang Yi feel suffocated.
"Why is that Heavenly Lord Wuliang so hot?"
Although the air was very fresh, after breathing this breath of air into her stomach, Fang Yi felt like he was on fire. He had almost never invaded the cold and heat three years ago, and he was sweating.
"Fang Yi, we are here at the southernmost part of the entire country..."
Zhao Hongtao seemed to be ready, pushing the box with one hand and taking a fan with the other, constantly slapping the wind on himself. But in time, the white shirt he was wearing on his upper body was almost soaked in sweat after two or three minutes.
"The temperature here is at least ten degrees hotter than Jinling..." Fang Yi took a deep breath and circulated the true essence of the Dantian. Suddenly, a cool feeling spread from the Dantian to the limbs and bones, and the temperature on his body also dropped.
"You look hot now. When it's winter, it will be comfortable here..." Zhao Hongtao said with a smile. He came to Qiong Province for several holidays in winter. When it snowed heavily at home, there was a summer scenery here, which felt completely different.
"Let's go, I've seen the person I'm picking up. Let's get in the car..." Zhao Hongtao looked around since he left the airport. When he saw someone walking towards the exit with a sign, he hurriedly pulled Fang Yi over.
The person who came was surnamed Liu, and was from a local conference unit. After receiving Zhao Hongtao and Fang Yi, he picked them up on a business car. The man was not very good at speaking Mandarin and didn't say much after getting on the bus. He just replied a few words when Fang Yi asked.
"Brother Liu, what kind of trees are these? Why are they so strange?"
Looking at the trees on both sides of the road, with straight trunks and no vines, Fang Yi couldn't help but ask. In his eyes, these trees were very strange. Huge feather-like leaves stretched out from the treetops, supporting an umbrella-shaped green crown, and under the coconut leaves were a bunch of green round things.
"Coconut trees are a specialty of our Qiong Province. There are also them in Guangdong, but many of the trees there do not have coconuts..."
The driver glanced at Fang Yi, and the expression on his face was a little strange. As the saying goes, people who have never eaten pork have seen pigs run away, right? He has been a driver for seven or eight years and has also received many people from the mainland. This is the first person who doesn't know the coconut tree.
"Oh, this is the coconut tree..."
Fang Yi nodded when he heard this. Before he came, he also made up some knowledge about Qiongsheng, but those were all texts in the book. Only after combining them with real objects can they give people an intuitive feeling.
Everything in Qiong Province is very novel for Fang Yi. He came to the hotel like looking at a diorama. There were organized people receiving it at the entrance of the hotel. The other party seemed to be a leader of a high level, chatting and laughing with Zhao Hongtao. As for his luggage, he was sent to the room by someone else.
"Fang Yi, go back and have a meal with me, remember, say less and watch more..."
Taking advantage of the opportunity to go to the toilet, Zhao Hongtao told Fang Yi that when leaders of his level came over, the other party's brothers naturally had to hold a welcoming banquet, and the specifications would not be low. Zhao Hongtao was planning to bring Fang Yi with him and let him also try the seafood feast in the south.
"Brother Zhao, I just contacted Brother Man. He came to find me later. I'd better live with him..."
After hearing Zhao Hongtao's words, Fang Yi shook his head. To be honest, he was really not used to the clichés of these officials. Although the hotel where Zhao Hongtao stayed was right by the sea and the scenery was very good, Fang Yi was still willing to go to a small hotel with Manjun.
"That's fine. I'll have a meeting tomorrow and I'll visit a few places the day after tomorrow. I really can't take care of you..." Zhao Hongtao thought for a while and nodded. Some subordinates in the museum will arrive tomorrow. It's not very convenient to take Fang Yi with me. If it's really a big deal, it's not good.
"Brother Zhao, then just contact me and Brother Man after your meeting..." After leaving the bathroom, Fang Yi saw Man Jun leaning into the hotel lobby, and quickly greeted Zhao Hongtao and walked towards Man Jun.
Since Zhao Hongtao was surrounded by people as soon as he came out, Man Jun just nodded to Zhao Hongtao and took Fang Yi to the sofa on the side of the lobby.
"Brother Man, aren't you going to the hotel you stay in now?" Fang Yi had only one backpack with his luggage, and he was carrying it on his back. He could leave with Man Jun without having to pack up his things.
"You boy is so blessed and can't enjoy it. How comfortable it is to live here..."
Man Jun rolled his eyes at Fang Yi. The hotel lobby they were in was open-plan. You could see the sea when you sat inside the lobby. Moreover, the open-plan lobby was air conditioned. Sitting inside, the cold wind with the sea breeze would not feel hot at all.
"Hey, look, that girl has a good figure and is wearing a bikini..." Man Jun's eyes were wandering around the swimming pool ahead, and he exclaimed from time to time, and Fang Yi shook his head repeatedly.
"Fang Yi, this is life..."
Man Jun lit a cigarette comfortably and said, "Director Zhao is of a relatively high level, we can't compare to it. However, the hotel I stayed in is also by the beach and the scenery is also good. I will take you to a few attractions tomorrow, and you won't be in vain..."
Man Jun has been to Qiong Province several times a few years ago, but his business was just starting out at that time, and he bought goods here. He had no time, money and no mood to travel. This time, it was different. Man Jun, who had just earned a million yuan, was going to take Fang Yi to have fun.
