Chapter 53: Milan
Li Ningning's checkers level is really good, the four of them played together, and she won the first three games at the beginning. Later, Chen Feng also began to be more serious with her, and with his memory ability and supercomputing ability, he was able to win back two sets.
After a few plates, the four housewives who played mahjong over there finally ended this leisure activity temporarily, and the four of them went to the kitchen to prepare lunch together, these four housewives, Zhao Xiaolan and Wang Qing needless to say that they have lived a hard life, this cooking and cooking, of course, are very good, even Ye Qian's maiden family is just an ordinary worker family, of course, this work is not less, and Wang Liqiao Before marrying Li Zeju, her family was only well-off, and she was no stranger to housework. It's just that I haven't done anything for several years after marrying into the Li family, and this time I saw that Zhao Xiaolan and the three of them were going to work together to clean up a sumptuous lunch, and they immediately joined in with great interest.
Under the leadership of Chao Xiaolan, the four housewives worked together and cooked more than a dozen sumptuous dishes in less than an hour.
So, everyone sat happily together, eating all kinds of seafood, vegetables, chicken, duck and fish. Maybe it's rare to eat such authentic Xiuzhou home-cooked food, Wang Liqiao and Li Ningning both have a big appetite, and they ate three bowls of white rice in a row, this kind of face turning was rare in their own homes before.
Li Ningning was full of praise for every dish he ate, and greatly praised Zhao Xiaolan's skills, which made Zhao Xiaolan smile and eat more than usual bowls of rice.
Wang Liqiao's mother and daughter were almost the same. At dusk, he and Zhao Xiaolan reluctantly said goodbye, and Li Ningning also said that he would come back to play tomorrow, which gave Chen Feng a headache. Chen Feng's next time is spent with her cheap sister, once is okay, two or three times is enough for him to stand it.
Fortunately, Wang Liqiao then reprimanded. Li Ningning said that she will have to receive tutoring from her English teacher at home tomorrow, and she can't be lazy anymore. Although Li Ningning pursed his lips as if he was very dissatisfied, he didn't say anything more.
The next morning, everyone was on their own. I prepared my salute and prepared to leave for the mainland in the afternoon. Except, of course, Chen Feng, because he plans to fly directly from Hong Kong to Milan, Italy, to shoot an endorsement advertisement for Armani's clothing.
Before returning to the mainland, of course, Yang Tianming was discharged from the hospital. The family has made an appointment with him to go back to the mainland to show them feng shui at their home in Xiuzhou.
Wait until everyone packs up this villa together: cotton bag bedding. Everything is put away, the garbage is emptied, and the appliances are covered with plastic film...... Wait, it's almost eleven o'clock at noon, and when everyone rushed to the hospital, Yang Tianming and his female assistant were going through the discharge procedures.
"Big brother, congratulations on your discharge from the hospital." Chen Feng handed him a handful of carnations.
Yang Tianming happily took the carnation and sniffed it, and said with a smile: "Xiao Feng, although we are already brothers, I still want to say thank you to you." ”
Chen Feng smiled. "How are you now, can you really walk on your own?" ”
"Don't worry, the doctor also said that my wound heals faster than ordinary people, and now it doesn't matter except for a little pain, and it's basically no problem to walk." Yang Tianming said and deliberately raised his injured foot and stomped it.
Chen Feng was also a little surprised when he saw this, the gunshot wound in his thigh was actually only two or three days of hard work, and he was fine, this body was really good enough.
"Tianming, congratulations on your discharge. We plan to go back to the mainland this afternoon, and see if you can come with us. Since Yang Tianming is sworn to his son and recognizes him as his godfather, Chen Dayong certainly has nothing to scruple about, so he directly told his thoughts to this injured man.
Yang Tianming was slightly stunned, then hurriedly nodded and said, "No problem, godfather, I can go home now and prepare for a salute, and I can leave immediately." ”
"Well, there's no need to rush this, it's afternoon... There are still a few hours left on the clock's flight. You probably haven't eaten lunch yet, and we haven't eaten either, so let's go to the Four Seasons Hotel for a meal together to celebrate your discharge. ”
Chen Dayong, the godfather's words, of course Yang Tianming couldn't help but listen, so the group went to the Four Seasons Hotel. This time, I didn't order any particularly expensive dishes, but despite this, I still spent HK$28,000 on a meal with a 20% discount.
It was already half past one in the afternoon after coming out, so everyone went back to Deep Water Bay to salute and immediately set off for the airport, and Yang Tianming of course went back to his home in Hong Kong first to prepare for the salute.
And Chen Feng has booked a flight to Milan, Italy last night, which is a flight at six o'clock this evening, when Huang Yong, Zhang Qiangguo, and agent Cao Yunfang will go with him.
Yang Tianming finally arrived half an hour before he got on the plane again, accompanied by his female assistant Cai Xiaohui, everyone obviously didn't expect Cai Xiaohui to follow, and Chen Dayong had only booked a ticket for Yang Tianming alone. Fortunately, Yang Tianming was very methodical, and he actually got an additional boarding place in such a short time before boarding.
Chen Feng saw everyone off the plane, and everyone was a little reluctant to him, especially Wang Meixue, although she repeatedly hinted in her heart that she would not shed tears, she still shed tears in the end, she didn't know when she would be able to meet Chen Feng again. In the past, Chen Feng might still come to live at their house during the holidays, but now Chen Feng is obviously not very willing to come to their house again during the holidays, and Hongye told her Chen Feng's idea.
On the contrary, although Hongye was also a little reluctant to Chen Feng in his heart, he knew that in less than a week at most, Chen Feng would return to China and return to her again, so there was not too much sadness.
"Xiao Feng, go and come back quickly. I'm waiting for you in Xiuzhou. Before the inspection, Yang Tianming shouted, waved his hand to Chen Feng, and then boarded the plane with everyone.
Because there are still three hours before his flight, Chen Feng of course does not want to stay at the airport all the time, after Cao Yunfang arrived to meet, under her leadership, in the airport shopping mall, bought a lot of men's gifts, after the checkout spent almost 200,000 Hong Kong dollars, in addition to the gift itself is worth a lot of money, of course, it is also because it is in the airport shopping mall, which is similar to Hong Kong and the mainland, or the situation around the world, the price of goods in the airport shopping mall is much more expensive than the price of the general shopping mall. He handed over the gifts he had bought to Gao Huarong, who was still with him, who claimed to be a plainclothes inspector of the Hong Kong Special Operations Unit at the seafood restaurant.
"Inspector Gao, in the past few days, thanks to you and your brother for taking care of and protecting, I am very grateful, these gifts are just my personal thoughts, please be sure to accept them." Chen Feng said gratefully. Of course, he said this from the bottom of his heart. These elites of the Hong Kong police have served him and his family as security guards, doormen, drivers and bodyguards for free in the past few days, fulfilling their duties, and Chen Feng is naturally a little moved when he sees them all.
"Mr. Chen, it is our duty for us to protect you, we can't accept your gifts, this is a strict violation of discipline, please understand, however, we still thank you for your kindness, we can only accept it." Gao Huarong said politely.
Of course, Chen Feng understands their concerns, this is not as good as the rights of these Hong Kong police elites in the mainland, and they are not as good as an ordinary film policeman in the mainland, and there are many restrictions and vigilance and discipline inside, and the well-known Independent Commission Against Corruption is very likely to ask them for coffee at any time, of course they are extra cautious and self-disciplined.
Chen Feng also understood his worries, and even took out his mobile phone and dialed the personal number of Hong Kong Chief Executive Tong Jianhua.
The phone rang for a while before it was answered.
Tong Jianhua was originally meeting with a business guest, but when he saw Chen Feng's call, he quickly confessed and walked to the side to answer the phone.
"Hehe, hello, Brother Chen, I just remembered to call my brother today!"
"Mr. Tong, I am specially bidding farewell to you, and in another hour, I will leave for Italy to shoot endorsement advertisements. This time, thank you for what you did for me. Chen Feng said sincerely.
"Brother Chen, don't be so polite. Actually, speaking of which, you did me a great favor this time. Little brother, I now know that you are the behind-the-scenes boss of Huateng International Holding Investment Group, you are really amazing. I thought I'd get together with you in two days, but it seems that I can only meet next time. Tong Jianhua said very heartily. He said that Chen Feng did him a great favor, not kind words, after the last long press conference, according to the recent polls, his support rate actually increased by a few percentage points, which is a very remarkable windfall, and the original almost unanimous criticism of him in the media, it seems to have disappeared overnight, the phenomenon of protests and demonstrations in front of his office mansion has also disappeared in the past few days, and the reason why there is such a good situation, In addition to his own active questioning of the think tank to correct some policy mistakes, in the eyes of himself and the outside world, it is inseparable from his public appearance at Long's press conference and the issuance of a Hong Kong permanent resident identity card to Long. The news of Long becoming a Hong Kong citizen can be said to be one of the most sensational news in the world in the past few days, and it has been reprinted and broadcast by countless state media, which has greatly improved the morale, self-confidence, and pride of Hong Kong people. This naturally also increased the support rate of Tong Jianhua, the chief executive of Hong Kong.
"Mr. Tong, we have been here for a long time, and the next time I come to Hong Kong, I will visit you in person." When Chen Feng said this, he changed his words and said, "That's right, Mr. Tong, I am very satisfied and grateful to the special police officers you instructed to send to protect me this time, so before leaving Hong Kong, in order to show my heart, I bought them some gifts to express my gratitude, but they refused to accept it, which made me very embarrassed." See if you can be accommodating, by the way, I will prepare a case with you, I am definitely not a bribe, but out of gratitude and respect for them, only secondary. ”
"Hehe, that's what happened." Tong Jianhua thought about it with a smile, and finally nodded, "Okay, you give the phone to their captain, and I'll talk to them." ”
"Okay, thank you." After Chen Feng finished speaking, he handed the mobile phone to Gao Huarong.
Gao Huarong took the phone in slight surprise, and then heard Chief Executive Tong's self-introduction, and hurriedly straightened his body upright, and said his title and name, and then after a while, he glanced at Chen Feng with gratitude, and returned the phone to him.
"Thank you, Mr. Chen, the Chief Executive ordered us to accept your gift." Gao Huarong said with a businesslike look.
"Okay, that's good." Chen Feng pointed to him with a large pile of gift bags beside him, Gao Huarong understood, and hurriedly beckoned several of his subordinates and carried them all in his hands.
"Mr. Tong, what you said still works." Chen Feng smiled at his phone.
Tong Jianhua diverted the topic and said: "Little brother, this is a bit against the rules of the chief executive, so I won't take it as an example." ”
"Okay, no example, anyway, thank you."
"You should be thankful for the high inspectors who gave them gifts. Okay, I still have guests here, so let's talk about it today, and I wish you a smooth journey. ”
"Okay, we'll talk next time, bye-bye!"
……
After hanging up the phone, Chen Feng was in a good mood, so he successively called Cai Shuqing, Li Ka-shing and others he knew in Hong Kong to say goodbye, and then took everyone to go shopping for a while, to see that the time was almost up, and then began to board the plane.
Under the salute and farewell of Gao Huarong and others, Chen Feng boarded a flight to Italy with Cao Yunfang, Huang Yong, and Li Qiangguo. On the plane, Chen Feng and the others sat in the first class cabin, and Chen Feng even wore a wig and fake beard from Cao Yunfang this time, but he didn't recognize who he was, and the journey was calm.
Milan is the second largest city in Italy, the capital of Lombardy, the capital of the province of Milan, the most important economic center of Italy, known as the "economic capital", the cradle of art and the hometown of many geniuses, and the fashion capital, the birthplace of the two world-famous football teams of Inter Milan and AC Milan. Milan is known for its fashion industry, it is one of the fashion capitals of the world, and its fashion shops on Boulevard Montenapoleone are world-famous. Milan's Galleria Emanuel II has the reputation of being the oldest shopping mall in the world.
After a more than ten hours of flight, Chen Feng and his entourage came to one of the richest and most prosperous cities in the world.
When I arrived, because of the time difference, it was almost nine o'clock in the evening local time. At this time, of course, there would not be many people at the airport under normal circumstances, but when Chen Feng arrived, it was the opposite. After getting off the plane, Chen Feng saw that the arrival hall was crowded, which can only be described as a sea of people.
Chen Feng and the four of them were very unhappy when they saw this, and there were so many people coming to take advantage of the opportunity at this time, which was obviously very abnormal, not to mention that someone leaked the news of their coming to Milan. The party that leaked was, of course, the Armani clothing company. This couldn't help but make Chen Feng very angry, before he came, he asked Cao Yunfang to tell the other party not to leak his itinerary to Italy, but the current situation is obviously not.
"Sister Cao, you call George immediately. Mr. Armani, ask him why this is the case? Chen Feng said with a calm face. He originally chose to arrive in Italy at night, just to avoid being discovered by the media, but he didn't expect to miscalculate.
Cao Yunfang saw Chen Feng's unkind face, and hurriedly nodded in agreement, and took out his mobile phone to call George. Armani's phone. After asking for a while, he hung up the phone and said to Chen Feng: "Chen Feng, George. Mr. Giorgio Armani said that he already knew about it, that it was an employee of his company who overheard the news that you had come to Italy from his leader, and that it was leaked to the media that he had ordered the dismissal of this employee. He asked me to apologize to you, and he himself will come to our hotel early tomorrow morning to apologize to you in person. ”
After listening to Cao Yunfang's words, Chen Feng's mood was a little better. But he is very skeptical that the Armani company is deliberately looking for a scapegoat, but this matter is not a particularly strict matter after all, it just makes Chen Feng feel very unhappy, since the other party has apologized, and said that he will apologize in person tomorrow morning, Chen Feng is not easy to pursue, otherwise, it will be too small.
"Chen Feng, don't worry, the way you are dressed up now, even I don't have a lot of people coming out, plus it's night, those fans of yours must not be recognizable." Cao Yunfang comforted.
Chen Feng thought for a while and asked; "Did the Armani company send someone to take advantage of the opportunity?"
"Yes!" Cao Yunfang nodded, "Mr. Giorgio Giorgio Armani said just now that he sent the vice president of their company to pick up the airport this time, and he also brought nearly twenty security personnel, as well as a team of riot police in Milan to accompany him to open the way. ”
"Okay, let's ignore these people who come to pick up the airport, go directly to the airport and take a taxi to the hotel, by the way, don't book the Caesar Hotel, and go to the Four Seasons Hotel instead." Chen Feng said.
"Wouldn't that be safe?" Cao Yunfang said with some hesitation.
"It's not safe to follow these people who pick you up. Listen to me. Chen Feng said and took the lead towards the arrival hall.
When he walked in front of the team of riot police and more than 20 security personnel, a bald middle-aged man led by him was staring at the four of them, and then took out a photo, looked at it, and took the lead in greeting him with excitement on his face, and held Chen Feng's hand without saying anything, and said excitedly in very pure English: "Long, welcome to Milan!" ”
Chen Feng couldn't help but look at him with wide eyes, and asked in surprise, "How did you recognize me?" ”
The balding middle-aged foreigner pointed to Cao Yunfang beside him, and explained to Chen Feng with a smile Quan Xiangyu said: "This Ms. Cao is your agent, and she is now a famous figure in the world." The four of you are together, and I naturally know that you are long. ”
