Chapter 59 Check-in at Xiangdao

a City International Airport.

"Dear passengers, the flight to... is about to take off. Please board as soon as possible if you haven't boarded yet."

"Dear passengers, the... flight will be delayed by one hour."

In the boarding hall of the airport, there were constant announcements about boarding and delays.

At this moment, Tai Gang, lightly dressed, holding a ticket, was preparing to pass through the VIP boarding gate to Hong Kong.

The first time of taking a plane in life.

Tai Gang does not want to shortchange himself, and did not purchase an economy class ticket.

Instead, he chose to purchase a business class ticket, intending to enjoy the treatment of social elites.

After all, there is money in the pocket.

"Sir, please show your ticket and relevant documents."

The airport ticket inspector softly said, took the ticket and related documents that Tai Gang handed over, and checked them once.

The ticket inspector whispered again, "Sir, I see that you have checked your luggage as fragile and valuable items for check-in."

Tai Gang nodded to indicate his understanding.

The ticket inspector continued, "In that case, for safety reasons, your luggage will not arrive at Xiangdao Airport at the same time as you. It will arrive at the latest the next day, and we will notify you to come to the airport customs to collect your checked luggage."

"Well, I understand," Gang said, nodding.

Among these checked-in luggage, there are twenty pieces of Tang Dynasty porcelain brought back from the Resident Evil dimension, each piece of porcelain beautifully packed in wooden boxes.

Just take out a box at random, and people will think that it contains a valuable item.

This is also the goal that Taigang aims to achieve.

Just like a good horse needs a good saddle, precious things also need a sufficiently good vessel to contain them in order to attract people's attention.

Not to let pearls gather dust.

Why does Tang Gang have to ship back the Tang Dynasty porcelain from the biochemical plane, instead of directly taking it to Xiang Island and putting it in the storage space under the small keyboard.

There is a reason for this.

First, for rationalization, people have to abide by certain social rules in reality, so that the whole thing can be traced.

At least when he does not have enough strength to break the social rules, the rules must be followed.

When I was searching for information about antiques and collectibles online, I came across some information about the import and export of antiques, collectibles, and cultural relics in China.

I don't know if it's true or not.

In order to save trouble, Tai Gang only selected twenty pieces and did not take out all the antiques.

Taking back the tickets and documents from the inspector, Tai Gang passed through the checkpoint and headed to board the plane to Hong Kong.

……

The next day.

Early morning.

22 Salisbury Road, Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon, Hong Kong.

The Peninsula Hotel Presidential Suite.

Waking up groggily, Tai Gang sat up from the plush bed, taking in the bedroom of the hotel's presidential suite.

Before, everything that was unimaginable in dreams has now become reality.

It's really hard to imagine, like a dream.

This also made him have to sigh, the happiness of the rich is really unimaginable for ordinary people.

Take the presidential suite where Mr. Tai lives as an example, it is like a well-equipped and luxuriously decorated villa, which made him amazed as soon as he moved in.

I can't help but lament that having money means losing a lot of things, such as worries.

It starts from staying in the presidential suite of the Peninsula Hotel.

The hotel has provided him with a personal butler, who is available 24 hours a day for his personal service.

This is just the beginning of his stay.

When going out, there is also a Rolls Royce sedan available for him all day for his transportation needs.

However, such a high-standard enjoyment comes at a high price, with the cost for one night around tens of thousands.

Of course, it's not in US dollars.

If it were in US dollars, Mr. Tang might really have some hesitation.

……

Wash face, brush teeth.

Tai Gang looked at himself in the mirror, dressed in cheap street stall clothes worth only a few hundred yuan in total, no matter how you looked at it, he seemed out of place with the surroundings.

Perhaps it's a matter of mindset.

Realizing this, he muttered, "Looks like I need to change my clothes."

As Thain was about to leave the bathroom, his personal butler had already come over.

After seeing Mr. Tai Gang, the private butler said respectfully, "Sir, breakfast is ready. Would you like to have it now?"

Tai Gang hesitated for a moment before saying, "Well, just put the breakfast in the dining room."

Being served with such reverence and respect made him feel somewhat uncomfortable for a while, and he couldn't relax.

"Very well, sir," the private butler retired to prepare.

……

Eating a simple and exquisite breakfast, Tai Gang feels much better.

The body has relaxed a lot, and he has also adapted to having someone serving him while he eats.

So he ordered, "I'll be going out later, prepare a car for me."

"Okay sir." The private butler picked up the phone and started to operate it.

Meanwhile, Tai Gang continued to eat breakfast, not worrying about the condition of the sedan.

After all, this is also one of the hotel's service offerings.

One minute later, the private steward spoke again: "Sir, the sedan is ready and we can leave at any time."

At this time, Tang Gang had finished his breakfast and was ready to get up.

……

Outside the hotel.

Inside a Rolls-Royce, the private butler asked the seated Taigang, "Sir, where are we going?"

Taigang thought for a moment and said, "Let's find a clothing store first. I need to change into some new clothes."

The private butler was stunned and reminded: "Sir, the private shopping mall at the Peninsula Hotel has many famous brands settled in it. All the famous brands in the whole Hong Kong are available at the private shopping mall of the Peninsula Hotel. We also provide door-to-door service, so you don't need to go there in person to make a purchase."

Tai Gang was taken aback, he really didn't know about this.

However, to cover up his embarrassment and ignorance, he argued cunningly: "No need, I want to enjoy the scenery of Xiangdao. I will also have to go to the customs at Xiangdao Airport later. Buying clothes is just incidental."

"Yes, sir,"

At the words, the private butler said no more, started the car, and left the Peninsula Hotel.

At the same time.

Inside the car, Tai Gang received a call from an unknown number.

Tai Gang, who was admiring the street view of Fragrant Island through the car window, took out his phone and glanced at the number, which was unfamiliar.

Displaying the provincial capital of Donghai Province, hesitated for a moment, and then answered the phone.

"Who are you?"

To Tai Gang's surprise, the voice of a young woman on the phone called out his name directly.

"Is this Mr. Tai Gang, Mr. Tai?"

"Scam call?"

Tai Gang heard a young woman's voice and couldn't help but joke, not to mention whether she was a beauty, just the sound alone was very nice.

“Sorry, beauty, I don't have insurance, and I haven't traveled abroad, but I am interested in buying an elephant. Do you sell them there?”

After saying that, he laughed to himself.

On the other end of the phone, a young woman was silent for a moment before speaking coldly, "Mr. Tai, I am not an insurance agent, nor am I selling elephants. Please allow me to introduce myself. I am Han Xue, the Executive Vice President of Han Group in Donghai Province."

After several days of consideration, Han Xue hesitated to contact Tai Gang's contact information, and finally made the call after going to work today.

"Han Group of Donghai Province?"

When he heard Han Xue's self-introduction on the phone, Tai Gang was first stunned, and then said, "The parent company of Life Fate Jewelry Store in City A, Han's Group?"

"Yes," Han Xue replied succinctly.

Tai Gang suddenly became suspicious and asked, "What's wrong? Is there something going on? Or are you saying that there's something wrong with my gold coins?"

"Mr. Li, the gold coins sold by Yisheng Yuan have no problems."

After answering Mr. Tai's question, Han Xue continued, "The reason I called Mr. Tai this time is to discuss something else related to gold. I wonder if Mr. Tai has time to meet and discuss in detail. If Mr. Tai is not available, I can send a car to pick up Mr. Li as well."

After listening, Tai Gang hesitated for a moment and apologized, "I'm very sorry, Mr. Han. I am currently in Hong Kong and I'm afraid I can't go back."

Tai Gang, who is averse to trouble, thought that by saying this, the other party would dispel the idea of meeting.

Unexpectedly, when Han Xue heard that Tai Gang was currently in Hong Kong, she straightforwardly said, "No problem, I will arrive in Hong Kong today. I wonder if Mr. Tai has time?"

Listening to Tang Gang, it seems that he has encountered a difficult person. I don't know if this is the characteristic of a successful person, who is determined to achieve their goal.

Unable to refuse, he had to say, "Okay."

Mr. Tai will meet in Hong Kong.

After saying that, Han Xue hung up the phone.

Tai Gang looked at the phone that was hung up, shook his head with a bitter smile.

I didn't expect that selling five hundred biological gold coins would really cause him some trouble.

I don't know if this trouble is a good thing or a bad thing.

Looking at the thousand yuan phone in his hand, he muttered to himself, "I should also change my phone, it's been two years, the old buddy should retire."

At this moment, the Rolls-Royce also stopped in front of a luxury goods store.

……

Enter the store.

Choose some clothes.

After a stroll, Tang Gang couldn't help but sigh.

When it comes to choosing clothes, he really is an idiot, regardless of facing these luxury brands that he never dared to think about before.

Still those tens of dollars, and over a hundred for a piece of clothing.

Before, he used to buy clothes that he thought looked good and were cheap.

Then, he would buy two or three pieces at once, and wear them interchangeably on weekdays, without considering whether they looked good or not.

After all, there's not much money in my pocket, so as long as it can be worn, what's good-looking doesn't matter.

"You'd better help me choose."

Tai Gang gave up choosing clothes for himself, it's too difficult, and handed the power to the beautiful shopping guide next to him.

“Sir, do you have any requests?”

Walking around the store with Mr. Tai, the pretty salesperson did not show any sign of displeasure or impatience, and continued to smile politely and ask about his needs.

After all, Tang Gang was accompanied by a private butler, and there was a Rolls-Royce parked outside the shop, with the very obvious Peninsula Hotel logo on the car body.

As a salesperson in a luxury store, she not only possesses basic service qualities, but also has knowledge of all the high-end consumption places in Xiangdao.

This kind of configuration is only available in the top presidential suite at The Fragrant River Peninsula Hotel.

So, even though Tang has obviously low-end goods, the beautiful salesgirls in the store are still very polite and attentive, even if you just browse without buying anything.

In her heart, the man in front of her, Tang Gang, seemed like a wealthy young man dressed in ordinary clothes, or perhaps a recently recognized illegitimate child of a tycoon.

You know, there is a lot of gossip in Hong Kong.

Tai Gang did not expect that because of his actions and outfit, the pretty salesperson next to him came up with several plausible backgrounds for him.

Even if he knew, he would just treat it as a joke and laugh it off.

Now, he just wants to change his clothes.

“Help me pick out some low-key, simple, and not obvious brand logos.”

For luxury brands, or just regular clothes.

Tai Gang's ideas are somewhat different from the general public.

Most people may like to display a luxury brand's logo on their body, carry it with them, fearing that others may not know.

He, however, does the opposite.

The reason is that he doesn't want to be a moving billboard.

After hearing Tang's requirements for clothing, the pretty saleswoman first bowed and said, "Okay, sir, please take a rest first. We will bring the clothes to you according to your requirements."

After speaking, the beautiful sales assistant extended her hand to lead Tai Gang to the fitting room.

……

Armani.

After seeing the clothes brought over by the beautiful sales assistant, Tai Gang chose this luxury item that he had never heard of before, and it met his requirements.

After trying on various outfits, Tang Gang sat in the soft chair and glanced down at the saleswoman who was putting shoes on him, his eyes occasionally wandering to places they shouldn't be.

At some point, the saleswoman had unbuttoned two buttons on her top, revealing her impressive assets.

Is this some kind of plot from a novel?

Tai Gang thought for a moment, whether it was or not, he would first feast his eyes and then consider.
