Chapter 146: Temporary stay at Xingang Hotel
As mentioned earlier, Zhou Zheng actually doesn't care about the selling price of the shark.
So the topic didn't last long, and the crew had their own work to do.
After waiting for about twenty minutes, the slightly fat crew member walked towards Zhou Zheng holding a handful of banknotes.
"Mr. Zhou, your shark weighs 427 pounds! The merchant who bought the fish charges 170 yuan per pound, so the total is 8 yuan. Please take a look."
Zhou Zheng smiled slightly, then took the money casually, counted out ten bills, and handed the rest of the money directly back to the crew.
"Don't bother. I'll just take 100 yuan, and the rest will be considered as your drink expenses."
The crew smiled brightly and were deeply grateful for Zhou Zheng's generosity.
At first, he thought he could only get 20 yuan at most as a reward, but he never expected that Zhou Zheng would leave them 70 yuan, which was almost equivalent to his monthly salary.
However, he had no intention of returning the money. After all, the crew members who frequently traveled to and from Hong Kong were influenced by some foreign customs and habits and were able to accept gifts from guests calmly.
"Then on behalf of all the crew members, I would like to thank Mr. Zhou for your generosity. At the same time, we also wish Mr. Zhou great wealth and success!"
Zhou Zheng smiled calmly. He was not disgusted by the crew's behavior. On the contrary, he appreciated this "natural" attitude. Compared with those "false polite excuses", such straightforwardness made people feel more comfortable and at ease.
"Well, now that the matter has been resolved, it's time for us to leave. I wish you a smooth and safe journey."
Sister Lisa did not turn around and leave immediately, but stayed where she was, chatting happily with Tian Xinyue and He Yushui.
Zhou Zheng solemnly handed the 100 yuan bill he got from selling the shark to Tian Xinyue, with a bright smile on his face, and said, "Hey, Qinghui, you earned this through your own hard work! Just think about it, if the people in our compound knew that you could earn 100 yuan in just two minutes, they would be so envious that their eyes would pop out of their heads, and they would be so jealous that their bodies would break apart!"
Although "plasmolysis" is not a term of this era, almost all the girls around Zhou Zheng can understand it. The only one who is confused may be Sister Lisa.
Tian Xinyue couldn't help but burst out laughing after hearing this: "Haha, then they must have the ability to do that! After all, it's an extremely ferocious giant shark, not just anyone can deal with it~" As she spoke, she proudly took the money handed over by Zhou Zheng, as if this was not just an ordinary hundred-dollar bill, but also a certificate of honor full of a sense of accomplishment and pride.
He Yushui watched helplessly as the huge sum of money from selling the shark fell so easily into Tian Xinyue's pocket.
Her eyes were full of resentment and dissatisfaction as she looked straight at Sister Lisa.
After all, this "little shark" was caught by Lisa herself! Why can't she exchange it for money?
Sister Lisa seemed to understand the unwillingness in He Yushui's eyes. She shrugged helplessly and said that she also wanted to compensate He Yushui with a shark, but the price was too high.
She is now penniless, and smiled awkwardly:
"Okay, okay, don't dawdle any longer. If it gets any later, we might not even be able to find a hotel to rest."
Zhou Zheng agreed: "That's right, so let's go now."
After saying that, the group of four continued on their journey.
What was different from the last time was that this time Su Yumo was replaced by Sister Lisa.
There are still four people, and it seems that nothing has changed, but in fact everything has changed.
Sister Lisa walked in front, her steps were firm and powerful, revealing a unique confidence and courage.
Li Ying, just like her name, is graceful and elegant.
Her eyes were calm and profound, revealing a hint of melancholy, as if she was silently waiting for the love that belonged to her in despair.
After all, the flower language of the jacaranda is: tranquility, depth, hesitation, and waiting for love in despair...
Xinzhou Wharf is indeed quite a long distance away from Baiyun Hotel. If it weren't for Sister Lisa's presence, Zhou Zheng might have already taken out his own means of transportation, so that they could reach their destination directly without having to stop.
But the small space world and even the points exchange system are Zhou Zheng’s biggest secrets. This must not be revealed to Sister Lisa, so he can only slowly look for a place to stay nearby.
Fortunately, Sister Lisa was very familiar with the roads in this area, so they didn't have to wander around the streets like headless flies.
If you look down from the sky, you can see that they are heading towards the Guangzhou Tower. However, at this moment, the Guangzhou Tower does not exist there. It is a landmark building that will not appear until the 90s.
After about thirty minutes of travel, they finally arrived at the door of a guesthouse called "Xingang Hotel".
Sister Lisa suggested: "Let's stay in this hotel tonight. I always choose to stay here when I come to Guangzhou before. The environment is quite pleasant."
In fact, even without Sister Lisa's reminder, Zhou Zheng had noticed along the way that there were no other hotels to choose from.
In that case, I have no choice but to live here.
Thankfully, from the outside, the hotel seems to be in pretty good shape.
When you push open the door of the hotel, a faint floral scent hits you in the face, fresh and pleasant.
This unique aroma seems to welcome the guests, making them feel happy and relaxed.
The waitress was a middle-aged woman about forty years old, who looked very kind and friendly.
She did not ask Zhou Zheng and others to produce the so-called "letter of introduction" or other relevant supporting documents.
What was even more surprising was that the waiter seemed to know Sister Lisa, and the two were talking in low voices, as if they had some kind of tacit understanding.
After some communication, the waiter opened three rooms for them: Zhou Zheng had a single room, Sister Lisa also had a single room, and Tian Xinyue and He Yushui shared a room.
After everything was arranged, everyone went back to their rooms to rest without saying much.
However, the truth is not what it seems.
Zhou Zheng had already made a secret plan and sneaked into Tian Xinyue and He Yushui's room in the dead of night.
He carefully locked the door to make sure no one noticed, and then took the two girls back to the "magic villa" in the small space world.
At this moment, Lou Xiao'e, Liang Qiu and Su Yumo were all waiting anxiously in the magical villa.
When they saw Zhou Zheng, Tian Xinyue and He Yushui return safely, they finally felt relieved. They knew that Zhou Zheng and others had arrived in Guangzhou safely, and their previous worries disappeared.
Lou Xiao'e smiled slightly, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised, outlining a hint of joy.
She slowly stood up, walked lightly towards Zhou Zheng, opened her arms, and gave him a warm and affectionate hug.
At the same time, she said with great joy: "You finally arrived in Guangzhou!"
This short sentence, on the surface, seems to be just an insignificant nonsense, but it contains deep concern and care. Every word reveals Lou Xiao'e's relief and reassurance that Zhou Zheng and others have arrived at their destination safely, making people feel her sincere emotions deep in her heart.
"We're here, but we've only been here for a short while..."
