Chapter 122: A large amount? It’s okay, let me broaden my horizons!

Northeast Ice City Airport!

Business parking lot!
This time, Su Chen had learned from his previous trip, so when he set out, he asked Jiang Hui to book the best hotel in Ice City - the Ritz-Carlton!
As a top five-star hotel, the Ritz-Carlton naturally includes airport pick-up service.

As soon as he got off the plane, a cold wind blew on his face, and Su Chen couldn't help shivering.
"The weather in the Northeast is indeed much colder than in the capital."

This time, Su Chen brought only Chen Fei with him to the Northeast. As for Lao Jiang, considering that he is not young anymore, it is better to let him have a good rest at home for a few days in this cold winter.

If you fall or get hurt while playing in the snow, you may end up in the hospital for half a month if you are not careful. This is not worth it.

"Where's the car?" As soon as Su Chen got off the plane, he found that apart from the plane, there was no car to pick up the hotel, not even a shuttle bus to the airport.

"Sir, why don't you go back to the plane and wait for a while? I'll call the hotel right away!"

Chen Fei was also complaining in his heart. After all, the Ritz-Carlton Hotel is one of the top hotels in the world, but how could it not even adhere to the most basic principle of punctuality?

After Su Chen got on the plane, Fade Chen immediately took out his cell phone and called the hotel.

As soon as the call was made, Chen Fei saw two Mercedes-Benz S-series cars appear in the distance.
In a moment, two Mercedes-Benz cars stopped steadily in front of Chen Fei, and the call Chen Fei made earlier was just connected.

Listening to the staff's questions on the phone, Chen Fei casually said "it's okay" and hung up.

A woman in her twenties, wearing a black coat and with long beautiful ponytail hair, walked down from the car and walked quickly in front of Fade Chen.

"Sorry Mr. Su, I've kept you waiting for so long."

Before he could finish his words, Fade Chen raised his hand to interrupt him.

"I'm not Mr. Su, I'm his bodyguard." After saying that, Fade Chen looked at the watch on his wrist again and said in a somewhat cold voice: "It's 11:15 now, nearly ten minutes after the agreed time."

“Is this the service attitude of your Ritz-Carlton Hotel?”

The woman's face turned pale, and she quickly explained, "Sir, I'm very sorry. Because of the snow, there was a car accident on the way here, which caused a large-scale traffic jam, so I'm late!"

Fade Chen wanted to say a few more words when he heard Su Chen's voice from behind him, "I won't pursue the matter if there is a reason, but the service of the Ritz-Carlton still needs to be improved!"

"You didn't even inform the clients of something like this. If I didn't have a private jet to protect me from the wind and rain, would I have to stand in this freezing cold airport waiting for you?"

Su Chen's voice was very soft, but it sounded like thunder to the woman's ears.

"Private jet? What the hell is this? I'm just on a business trip, and how could I meet such a big shot?" The woman was devastated at this moment.

If she had not received many high-quality clients and could barely be considered a worldly person, she would have collapsed to the ground after hearing what Su Chen had just said.

He took a few deep breaths to calm his fear, then forced a smile and said, "Mr. Su, welcome to Ice City!"

"I'm your personal butler, Wang Shasha. I'll be at your service for any needs you may have in the next few days!"

Su Chen did not continue to embarrass her. A simple warning was just a lesson for her to avoid any trouble in the next few days.

After welcoming Su Chen to the car in front, Wang Shasha arranged for the hotel security personnel who came with them to move the luggage into the car.

As for Chen Fei, he followed the security personnel and sat in the Mercedes-Benz at the back.

This time when they came to Bingcheng, Su Chen and Chen Fei brought four large suitcases of stuff.
There was no way around it. Not only was the weather in Ice City cold, but it also snowed from time to time. It was inevitable that clothes would get wet and dirty when going out to play. Just in case, Su Chen brought seven sets of winter clothes for replacement.

The Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Ice City is located in the core area of ​​the city on the banks of the Songhua River in the Ice City CBD. Next to the hotel is the famous Ice and Snow World.

The vehicle slowly drove away from the business jet apron.
It was also Su Chen's first time to ride in a Mercedes-Benz S-series sedan, and he felt that it was much worse than his own car.

"The airport shuttle cars of other top five-star hotels are all Rolls-Royce. Why did you, Ritz-Carlton, choose Mercedes-Benz?" Su Chen asked curiously.

Wang Shasha, who was sitting in the passenger seat, heard this and quickly explained: "Mr. Su, this is the case. Our Ritz-Carlton Hotel has signed a ten-year strategic cooperation agreement with Mercedes-Benz. Except for Hong Kong and Macau, all presidential suites in all hotels in China use Mercedes-Benz S600 to pick up and drop off customers. Other rooms are from E to S!"

"Oh~" After Su Chen knew the whole story, he didn't ask any other questions and concentrated on enjoying the scenery outside the car window.

After entering the city, Su Chen found that Ice City was unexpectedly deserted. There was no congestion like in other tourist cities. Not to mention the cars on the road, even the pedestrians on the road were pitifully few.

"Why does tourism in Ice City seem so quiet right now?"

"Yes, every winter the tourism department tries very hard to promote the attractions of the Ice City, the Ice and Snow World, ice sculptures, the Dragon Tower, the Sophia Cathedral, Central Street and many other fun places. But not many people come to play. Maybe it's because the promotion is not in place!"

When Wang Shasha talked about this, a trace of loneliness flashed across her face. As a native of Ice City, she hoped that her city could become lively, but so many years of efforts had not produced much effect. This also caused many young people to leave Shanhaiguan and go to other places to work hard.

The car fell into silence, and Su Chen looked out the window and murmured softly: "Since there are such good tourist resources, especially the Ice and Snow World and ice sculptures, why not recommend them to the southerners and promote them in the south!"

"You know, many people in the south are not short of money and are particularly fascinated by snow. Add to that the various ice sculpture exhibitions, and this is definitely the first choice for winter tourism!"

Unfortunately, Su Chen's voice was too soft and Wang Shasha couldn't hear it clearly. Even if she heard it clearly, it seemed to be of no use.

The airport in Ice City is still a little far from the Ritz-Carlton, about 40 kilometers away. In addition, the road was slippery after the snow and the car was not driving very fast. It took almost an hour to reach the hotel.

The Ritz-Carlton Hotel is known as the "Roof of the World", and this five-star hotel in the Ice City is not much worse.

At first, Su Chen thought it was similar to the Peninsula Hotel he had stayed at before, with the first floor being the hotel lobby.
But when he followed his personal butler Wang Shasha into the hotel, he learned from her that the lobby of the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Ice City is located on the 54th floor and is a real "sky lobby"!
"Welcome to the Ritz-Carlton!"

As soon as I stepped out of the elevator, I saw three tall beauties standing on each side to greet me.

"Huh~" The work clothes worn by the beautiful receptionists were very different from the traditional OL outfits. The black plush scarves paired with loose double-layer wool coats made Su Chen couldn't help but take a few more glances.

"Mr. Su, please come this way!" Wang Shasha raised her right hand and made a false gesture of invitation.

Only then did Su Chen discover that the decoration of the Ritz-Carlton Hotel was unique, with a white base color and panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows, which made it look particularly bright.

The hotel front desk was not very busy. Seeing Wang Shasha bringing guests to visit, she quickly put on a friendly smile and said, "Hello, sir. Please show me your ID!"

Su Chen did not hesitate or deliberately show off that he was staying in the presidential suite. He gave a look to Chen Fei beside him. After all, his things were all with Chen Fei for safekeeping.

Because the hotel was booked online, the money had already been paid, and only the identity information needed to be verified. However, when verifying the information, Wang Shasha deliberately glanced at Su Chen's ID card, just to be curious about the name of this "rich second generation" who could own a private jet.

"Su Chen? 25 years old? So young." Wang Shasha couldn't help but sigh in her heart, sometimes reincarnation is also a technical job.

I am almost 25 years old and still struggling to make a living, while others are only and traveling around in a private jet!

It’s true that people with the same fate have different fates!

The hotel front desk was very efficient and checked us in in less than a minute.

"Mr. Su, I'll take you to the room!" Su Chen and the other person took the elevator downstairs under the guidance of Wang Shasha.

That’s right, down!
This surprised Su Chen very much. The hotel lobby was actually on the upper floor of the residence. This design is really not something that ordinary people can think of.

Soon the elevator reached the 52nd floor, which was where the presidential suite Su Chen booked was!
"Mr. Su, there is a swimming pool and gym on the 37th floor of the hotel, and a spa area on the 38th floor with professional bath scrubbers!"

When you come to the Northeast, you have to adapt to the local customs, and scrubbing your body is an indispensable thing.

Before coming here, Su Chen learned a little about the bath scrubbing culture in Northeast China on the Internet. It is really honest. It is said that when men scrub their important parts, they lift them up and rub them.

I just don't know whether the bath scrubber in this hotel is a man or a woman.

"The scenery is really nice!" Su Chen stood in front of the glass curtain wall of the suite's living room, overlooking the entire urban area of ​​​​Ice City.

Houses in the Northeast are generally low, unlike the high-rise buildings in the South that are often dozens of stories high.

Looking out from the hotel, there is basically no obstruction, only one or two tall buildings scattered in the distance, but it does not affect the view.

It gave Su Chen a feeling of "reaching the top of the world".

"Coo coo~" a discordant sound rang out.

Patting his belly, he said unhappily, "Don't shout, I'll take you to taste authentic Northeastern cuisine later!"

"Fade Chen, have you packed your things?" Su Chen called towards the direction of the room.

The presidential suite of the Ritz-Carlton Hotel is very large. According to Wang Shasha's previous introduction, the entire suite is 110 square meters. In addition to two bedrooms, one large and one small, there is also a separate dining room and study.
The most important thing is that this apartment has a 180-degree viewing angle, which basically allows you to have a panoramic view of the entire Songhua River and the Ice City.

"I'm done, sir. What's the matter?" Fade Chen trotted out of the bedroom, beads of sweat still on his head.

"Why are you still sweating so much? Go wash up first, and we'll go out for dinner!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Chen's stomach rumbled at an inopportune time.

Chen Fei was about to laugh, but when he saw Su Chen's cold gaze, he was startled and immediately turned around and ran towards his room.
-
When I came out of the room, I met Wang Shasha. It would be more appropriate to describe it as waiting rather than meeting.

After Su Chen and the others entered the room, Wang Shasha sat in the rest area on the 52nd floor, waiting for Su Chen's call at any time.

Knowing that Su Chen and his friends wanted to go out for dinner, Wang Shasha recommended Su Chen and his friends to go to the Cantonese restaurant on the 54th floor without hesitation.
Who would have thought that Su Chen directly refused, the reason was simple, come to Northeast China to eat Cantonese food? It would be better to fly to Guangzhou to eat there!
Of course when you come to Northeast China, you have to try the local specialties, otherwise why would you come here?

After some inquiries, Wang Shasha finally recommended a restaurant about two kilometers away from the hotel. The iron pot stewed goose there is a specialty, but the quality is not very high, it is a purely mass-market restaurant.

She originally planned to take Su Chen and the others there personally, but Su Chen refused without even thinking about it.

What would it feel like if Wang Shasha took them both there?

Going out for fun is about uncertainty. No one knows what you will encounter along the way. This is the mystery of travel.

In the end, Wang Shasha could only arrange a special car from the hotel for Su Chen and his friends to use, and also specifically stated that they could call at any time if anything happened.

It is said that wise men do not fall in love, and iron pots only stew geese! Love is sad and sad, while geese are heartwarming and can resist hunger!

As soon as he arrived at the restaurant, Su Chen smelled the aroma of goose emanating from inside and couldn't help smacking his lips twice.

"Sir, this smells so good!" Fade Chen leaned his head and looked inside.

Su Chen ignored him and walked in quickly.

The restaurant wasn't doing very good business, with only about four or five tables. I found a seat by the window and sat down.

As soon as I sat down, a lady came over with a menu and said, "Eat something, bro!"

Hearing these careless words, Su Chen was stunned for a moment, then he came to his senses and took the menu with a smile.

Looking at the menu, many of the dishes are familiar to you.

"I want a goose stewed in an iron pot, some sweet and sour pork, some chicken stewed with mushrooms, and some soup!"

After saying that, Su Chen turned around and handed the menu back to the eldest sister, only to see the eldest sister looking at him with a scrutinizing gaze.

"Brother, this is your first time in Northeast China!"

"Huh?" Su Chen looked at his elder sister in surprise, "I just arrived today, what's wrong?"

Hearing this, the elder sister smiled and said, "I can tell that this is your first time here. The portions of dishes here in Northeast China are usually quite large. I suggest you order a stewed goose in an iron pot and some soup. You can come back to try the other dishes in the evening!"

Su Chen was also a little surprised when he heard this. Which merchant would suggest customers to order less food? They all hope you order more... and order the expensive ones.

This was the first time Su Chen encountered a business that advised people to order less food.

"It's okay, big sister. Just pack it up if you can't finish it!" Su Chen also wanted to see how big the portions of dishes in Northeast China were.

Seeing Su Chen's calm and composed expression, the eldest sister opened her mouth and wanted to continue persuading him, but finally swallowed her words back.

"Okay~"
