Chapter 119: Hong Kong Island is the Island of the Wealthy_2
Xu Ying couldn't help but laugh at this, but thinking of her own identity, she quickly stifled it back...
"If you want to laugh, just laugh. You holding back your laughter looks terribly ugly."
"Actually, flight attendants usually don't slip notes. If a business or first-class passenger complains even once, not only would they lose their wages, but in serious cases, they might be transferred from first-class to economy class.
The treatment of first-class attendants is vastly different from that of economy class. With such high risk, how many flight attendants would be so brainless, huh?"
Gu Heng realized this was also true...
But he couldn't help but retort, "But there must be some, right?"
"Of course, but the prerequisite is that you need to give the flight attendant a hint. If you hint and the attendant takes a liking to you, they might risk a complaint to slip you a note.
Mr. Boss, did you give any hints to the flight attendant on the plane just now?"
Gu Heng: ...
Hints, my ass...
He had just been the very model of a gentleman on that flight...
Seeing Gu Heng's silence, Xu Ying continued to laugh and said, "Then how about we wait here a bit? When all the economy class passengers have disembarked, I could go and get you a contact number?"
"Enough, I was just saying it, not like I've really fallen for the flight attendant. Let's hurry up and get in the car.
But keep up this state in the future. When it's normal, we can interact like friends, and when you need to work, you bring out your professional self.
Don't make it seem like a master-servant relationship. I'm not some feudal landlord, can't stand that."
With that, he directly got into the rear seat of the shuttle bus...
Listening to Gu Heng's words, the smile on Xu Ying's face brightened a bit...
The casual demeanor she had just shown was deliberate...
But obviously, she had made the right move. Compared to that subservient service mode, Gu Heng preferred a more normal, communicative way of interacting...
...
...
"Boss, I've already contacted the Ritz-Carlton Hotel. They arrived at the airport ahead of time and are now in the pick-up area outside the airport."
After dealing with a series of procedures, the two were walking out through the airport's VIP channel...
As one of the busiest airports in the world, Hong Kong International Airport's passenger flow goes without saying; even the VIP channel was filled with people...
And there were all kinds of faces, all kinds of skin colors...
A true kaleidoscope...
Exiting the airport terminal...
With Xu Ying's repeated inquiries to the airport ground staff, they finally found the so-called pick-up parking lot...
Looking at the large mass of pick-up vehicles before him, Gu Heng felt a bit lost...
Although he knew that Hong Kong Island, only a sixth the size of Shanghai, had a high population density, he didn't expect it to be this crowded...
No wonder the subway is the most convenient mode of transportation here...
In such a situation, wouldn't driving make you dead stuck in traffic?
"Boss, just wait a moment; I will contact the hotel again."
Gu Heng couldn't do much...
But Xu Ying could...
Experience new tales on empire
After a brief pause, Xu Ying started communicating with the hotel...
Just then, a woman in her 30s wearing a suit, with long hair, and sporting frameless glasses approached Gu Heng, followed by several men in uniform suits...
The woman was still holding her phone to her ear...
Upon seeing Gu Heng and Xu Ying, she politely and doubtfully asked, "Excuse me, are you Mr. Gu and Miss Xu?"
After exchanging a glance, Xu Ying spoke on behalf of Gu Heng, "Are you from the Ritz-Carlton Hotel arranged to pick us up?"
Confirming their identities, Zheng Jiayi took a step back and repeated respectfully, "Mr. Gu, Miss Xu, welcome to Hong Kong Island; thank you for choosing our Ritz-Carlton Hotel on Hong Kong Island.
I am your exclusive personal butler, Zheng Jiayi, and will be in charge of your daily travel and accommodation."
Listening to Zheng Jiayi's words, the people around cast their gazes over...
Many eyes skimmed over the faces of Gu Heng and Xu Ying... with a touch of envy, then they hastily moved on...
Gu Heng, who was used to staying in presidential suites, didn't feel much...
But it was different for Xu Ying...
The hand dragging Gu Heng's suitcase even trembled a bit...
After having served as a personal butler for several years...
She had always been the one providing such service to others...
This was the first time she was treated with such respect...
She had to admit, the feeling was indeed very exhilarating...
But it was only for an instant before Xu Ying snapped out of this thrilling feeling...
She was clear that Zheng Jiayi's service was not for her, but for Gu Heng; at best, she was just basking in reflected glory...
"Mr. Gu, Miss Xu, our hotel's courtesy car is already waiting in the parking lot. Shall we head to the car?"
Gu Heng didn't want to stay and watch the crowd at the airport any longer and nodded in agreement.
After getting Gu Heng's consent, Zheng Jiayi moved over to Xu Ying, reaching out to take her suitcase: "Miss Xu, please let me take your luggage."
But Xu Ying reacted quickly...
She dodged Zheng Jiayi's hand in an instant.
Then, under Zheng Jiayi's puzzled look, she explained, "This is my boss's personal belongings; I'd better hold onto it myself. You can just lead the way.
Going forward, you only need to serve my boss, I am just a personal secretary, like you, serving my boss."
After listening to Xu Ying, Zheng Jiayi looked at Gu Heng and said no more, gesturing with an open hand, "I understand; this way please."
Initially, Zheng Jiayi thought the two were a couple on a trip to Hong Kong Island...
