Chapter 1864: Room 72, Peace Hotel

"Boss Wu, we're almost there!"

"Yawn~"

Wu Mingfan, who was awakened by the bodyguard, yawned and rubbed his face to refresh himself.

Some places in the country are not very perfect now, so I brought four bodyguards with me when I came back. Moreover, these bodyguards' families are from the Shanghai-Tianjin-Hebei region. They have been in Hong Kong for two years, so it is a good opportunity for them to take a vacation.

Thinking of this, Wu Mingfan smiled and turned his head.

"Yunfeng~"

"Mr. Wu!"

Jiang Yunfeng, who had been to Laoshan before, was a scout who served in the army for 8 years. Due to his family's poverty, he went south to Hong Kong to work, but he couldn't speak the language and ended up living on the streets.

By chance, he was met by Wu Mingfan. After hearing him speak the Shanghai dialect, he felt pity for him and invited him to dinner. During the conversation, he also learned his identity and hired him as his bodyguard.

The following few people were all introduced by him. He was considered the leader among these bodyguards. He had an ordinary look and was usually serious, but he looked very intimidating when he glared.

There is no need to guess about some things, you have definitely seen blood!

Hong Kong has not been peaceful in the past two years. The Bao family cannot protect everything, and they rely on these people for safety and security. Therefore, Wu Mingfan's treatment is particularly high. Each person's monthly salary is equivalent to what an ordinary worker earns for several years.

There are three people in the economy class, including Jiang Yunfeng, four battle-hardened veterans, so there should be no problem with safety.

Although there are some minor problems with public security in the country at this time, overall it is definitely much better than in Hong Kong.

"Yunfeng, I will probably stay for more than a month this time. After landing, you guys take turns to rest~"

"Thank you, Mr. Wu!" Jiang Yunfeng was taciturn and rarely spoke unless necessary.

Landed at Shanghai Airport at around 12 noon.

When he first went to Hong Kong, Wu Mingfan was very particular about his appearance in a suit and tie, and he was meticulous about his white shirt and tie. But since he became rich, he does whatever he wants.

For example, what I am wearing now is a simple Hong Kong-style denim jacket, a white T-shirt and jeans, and a pair of sneakers on my feet that look ordinary but actually cost hundreds of dollars.

The plan for Shanghai was laid out long ago, so Wu Mingfan established a branch in Shanghai a year ago. At that time, all his energy was focused on the original accumulation in Hong Kong, so he actually just opened a small shopping mall on Huanghe Road to sell some products produced by his own factory, as a test to see which one sold better.

"Boss Wu, the cars are ready. As per your order, one Crown and nine Santanas!"

The manager of the branch office came to pick me up at the airport. He was a slightly plump man in his 40s. The slightly ill-fitting suit made him look a little funny, and he had a fawning smile on his face.

I can't help it, I gave you too much!
He now earns 600 yuan a month, not to mention that he has a car for daily transportation. An ordinary worker may not earn that much in two years. Yang Jingmao is very grateful to Wu Mingfan for being able to live his current life after being released from prison.

That’s right, it was Wu Mingfan’s former roommate in Hong Kong, Old Yang. Although his family background was not simple, there were still some pure people in this era. Old man Yang was very dissatisfied with some of his previous actions!
What little affection he had for his son was basically used up on his treatment after he went to prison. After he came out, he was annoyed when he saw him, so he just found a job as a worker in a publishing house and sent him away.

Wu Mingfan also returned to Shanghai a year ago to plan for opening a branch. He was worried that he had no suitable person in charge, and when he met the other party by chance, his eyes lit up.

Even though this guy is a nagging person, whether or not it is because of his family background, he still holds a position and it should not be a problem for him to support a branch company, so they took him over.

Of course, there must be some tricks. Although Xiangjiang is regarded as a foreign investor at this time and Wu Mingfan has already put on a layer of protection, it does not prevent adding another firewall.

No matter how angry the old man is, he still has to recognize his son. Some words are just words!

Wu Mingfan reached out his hand and patted Yang Jingmao on the shoulder affectionately: "Old Yang, thank you for your hard work!"

"Mr. Wu, if it weren't for you..." Yang Jingmao looked a little excited, of course how much of that was true or false was a matter of opinion.

"Let's not talk about this!" Wu Mingfan patted his shoulder again. "Let's go!"

The convoy was led by a Crown car, followed by nine Santanas. The scene was no less than the large Labor team decades later.

Wu Mingfan didn't really need to be ostentatious. He wasn't that idle. He came back this time for something very important.

Because uncle will be released from prison tomorrow!

If someone gives me one point, I will return it tenfold!
I owed the Bao family a big favor at the beginning, so I was invited to celebrate New Year's Day a year ago. I only heard from the old housekeeper later that it turned out that my uncle made a phone call to Bao Chuanwang from prison.

Crown back row.

Wu Mingfan is resting with his eyes closed.

Yang Jingmao was a smart man. Although he was always laughing and joking, when it came to the real situation, he knew his position very well. He turned around and reported respectfully to the co-pilot.

"Mr. Wu, according to your instructions, I have asked the Peace Hotel to reserve British Suite No. 72 one month in advance!"

"Also, I'll take the initiative and tell you that this is the American Suite next door, which you can use for your stay in Shanghai!" He handed over two keys.

"Hmm~"

No wonder Qianlong liked Heshen. Wu Mingfan also felt comfortable with this feeling. He could do things very clearly without having to give special instructions.

The Peace Hotel, its predecessor was the Cathay Hotel which opened in the Sassoon Building in 1929.

The Sassoon Building is the first new building in Shanghai to be influenced by the Art Deco style. This new style, which focuses on decoration and bright colors, originated at the 1925 Paris Arts Decorative Arts Exposition in France and was once popular all over the world.

The car stopped in front of the Peace Hotel. Wu Mingfan and his men got off and prepared to go upstairs under the guidance of the service staff. The waiters here did not have the bad habits of those in the state-owned stores outside.

Because the Peace Hotel entertains foreign businessmen, all the waiters are specially trained. In a few decades, waiters may be doing the most basic job, but now they are the envy of everyone.

The pretty waitress had her hair tied up with a hairpin, and her collagen-filled face was filled with a graceful smile. She was wearing a light pink slim-fit suit with a knee-length skirt of the same color, and high heels. While leading the group, she also acted as a tour guide.

"Sir, the first to seventh floors of our Peace Hotel are hotel rooms. The nine-country suites are located on the fifth, sixth, and seventh floors, with three suites on each floor. The British and American suites you booked are on the seventh floor!"

"If you want to have a meal, just take the elevator to the 9th floor..." The cherry lips painted with lipstick did not stop. After professional training, the timing was very precise. She finished the introduction just in time when entering the elevator.

Wu Mingfan saw some expectation in the other person's eyes, and smiled and took out a piece of Hong Kong banknotes and handed it to him.

"Thank you~"

"Thank you, sir!"

The waitress was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling. Although the foreign currency could not reach their hands, it could be exchanged for equivalent RMB, which was equivalent to her salary for several days.

"Ding!"

The elevator reached the seventh floor.

Wu Mingfan's group consisted of seven or eight people. In addition to himself and four bodyguards, they were also accompanied by Yang Jingmao and several people from his Shanghai branch.

The first place we arrived at was the place where most people appeared in the play.

Room 72 of the Peace Hotel decorated in British style!
