1983Fishing and Farming between Mountains and Seas

Chapter 409 Didn’t Go to Shenpeng City

Fortunately for Liang Ziqiang, when he passed through the glass door, the smiles on the faces of the two doormen froze for a moment, but they did not try to stop him.

As soon as he entered the lobby, Liang Ziqiang immediately looked around, looking for the toilet sign, but he couldn't find it for a while.

There were a few people in the lobby who looked over. There were four girls, wearing clothes that looked a bit like cheongsams, and they were all tall and thin.

Without a doubt, it was the hotel receptionist.

Is it so advanced? There are even beautiful ladies to greet guests, which is extremely rare in this era. It also proves that this hotel wants to imitate the famous Swan Hotel in terms of grade.

If you can't find it with your eyes, you can't find it with your mouth. Liang Ziqiang immediately walked towards the beautiful receptionists, intending to ask them where the toilet was.

Just as he was about to open his mouth, two of the beauties glanced at his bucket, a trace of disgust flashed in their eyes, they turned their heads away, pretending not to see it, and walked away.

But the next second, the beautiful woman's cold face suddenly showed a smile and she looked towards the door.

Almost at the same time, Liang Ziqiang heard the voices of two doormen outside the door:
"Hello, Mr. Ruan! Are you here?"

Liang Ziqiang unconsciously turned his head and looked behind him, and saw a beige car parked at the place where he had just entered, and there was a Mercedes-Benz logo on the car!

What does it mean to drive a Mercedes-Benz in the 1980s?

The man who walked out of the car was about forty years old, with shiny hair combed neatly. He was neither good-looking nor ugly, just an average-looking man. He was of medium build, not very tall.

The two doormen shouted "Mr. Ruan" loudly to the middle-aged man.

The man called Mr. Ruan said nothing, and walked into the hotel lobby with his hands behind his back. Behind him was a rather burly young man, who followed Mr. Ruan closely after getting out of the car. He was obviously Mr. Ruan's bodyguard.

As soon as Mr. Ruan entered the lobby, the cold faces of the two beautiful ladies welcoming guests were suddenly refreshed, and their voices were naturally much gentler than those of the doorman:

"Hello, Mr. Ruan, you came so early today!"

"I came here earlier because I wanted to see you two!" Mr. Ruan, who had a serious face just now, narrowed his eyes and uttered something in a low but frivolous voice.

After saying that, he even blinked quickly at the two receptionists. At that moment, Liang Ziqiang almost thought he was seeing an illusion on their faces.

Just as Mr. Ruan was about to take a step closer, another customer in a suit and tie suddenly walked in.

Upon seeing this, Mr. Ruan quickly put away the frivolous expression on his face, adjusted his bright red tie, and continued walking into the hotel with his hands behind his back.

While looking around, he frowned and said to the two hotel staff who looked like managers:
"The two pots of flowers at the door are almost withered. Don't you have a bit of foresight to change the pots immediately for the season?! Our business is all about details. How many times do I have to tell you before you can use your brains?!"

Liang Ziqiang faintly heard the voice coming over, and he said in his heart, "Fuck!" Just now he was winking, and in the blink of an eye he was speaking harshly. Even those who play the game of changing faces can't switch this fast, right? Monopoly is indeed Monopoly.

He was in a hurry to go to the bathroom and didn't have time to look around. He quickly found another receptionist and asked for the location of the toilet.

Fortunately, the receptionist did not show any disgust. He pointed him in a direction and told him to turn right.

Liang Ziqiang thanked her repeatedly and trotted quickly in the direction she pointed.

I turned right and finally saw the words "Men's Restroom". When I ran in, a thin man in black clothes but jeans came out and ran out in a hurry.

Liang Ziqiang finally got into the toilet, opened a cubicle, and almost vomited on the spot.

It is said that the Swan Hotel has been using toilets since the early 1980s. In this regard, the Snowy Egret Hotel obviously failed to imitate it.

It doesn't have a toilet, but a squat toilet. The most annoying thing is that somehow, there is filth everywhere, even the footrest. I can't believe that in a hotel in Yanghai City, the toilet is so dirty that no one comes to deal with it in time.

Fortunately, he opened another compartment and found it clean. Thank God, toilet paper was neatly stacked on one side of the squat toilet. He carried the iron bucket into the compartment. No one knew that the bucket contained tens of thousands of dollars! He would go to the bank to deposit the money after he finished his urgent work.

Squatting inside, he recalled that the middle-aged man riding in the beige Mercedes-Benz was called "Mr. Ruan". He vaguely remembered that Du Ziteng had mentioned that the owner of the Snow Egret Hotel was surnamed Ruan, and that the hotel was much stronger than the Yuehai Restaurant.

It seems that the plain-looking middle-aged man just now is the owner of the hotel?

Of course, this has nothing to do with him...

After a while, Liang Ziqiang was finally freed. During the process, he heard someone coming in, and then there were noises coming from the stinking squat toilet next door, as if someone was washing and mopping the floor.

After he finished his urgent business, he picked up the bucket and walked out, taking a look into the other dirty compartment.

Sure enough, it was probably the hotel's cleaner who came in, bending over, meticulously washing the dirty and smelly excrement all over the floor.

It was a somewhat sturdy and solid back. From Liang Ziqiang's position, it looked like a bear wearing a brown cleaning uniform of a hotel, with its strong back and waist bent deeply into the depths of the squatting position.

It is said that bears like to dig out honey from beehives the most. The brown bear-like man in front of me is digging out the dirtiest and smelliest place in the world, but he is doing his best, just like a bear digging out a honey pot.

After rinsing a few times, he continued mopping, the mop handle hitting the partition with a rhythmic sound.

Listening to the rhythm, Liang Ziqiang paused and seemed unable to move forward.

Because that figure really gave him a particularly familiar feeling.

The man occasionally turned his face slightly in the lingering stench, and something behind Liang Ziqiang's ribs suddenly tightened.

He couldn't control his heart. Until the man turned his head sideways, then sideways again, and finally turned his face back, the two people's eyes met in the most unsightly place in the world.

"Qiang..." The other party banged his head against the partition because of the surprise, and then muttered, "Brother Qiang, what are you doing..."

"Acai, is it really you?!"

The vague guess suddenly became extremely clear, so clear that Liang Ziqiang couldn't tell whether it was real or an illusion:

"What's going on? Didn't you go to Shenpeng City? Why are you staying in Yanghai, and... cleaning this damn place?!"

Deng Zhaocai slowly stood up, leaning on the mop.

At that moment, there seemed to be too many things on his face. Really, Liang Ziqiang had been with him since childhood, but he had never seen such a rich expression on this innocent and rough face.

It's like the sea, with undercurrents, huge waves, and earth-shaking changes.

But finally, the moment footsteps were heard outside the toilet door, everything became calm.

"Brother Qiang, don't tell anyone that you know me."

Deng Zhaocai's eyes were calm and he looked at him without any disturbance. Then he quickly put away his mop and walked out of the toilet.

Someone else came to the toilet. Liang Ziqiang quickly pretended nothing had happened, picked up his bucket, left the toilet, and walked towards the lobby.

I was excited when I came, but I was confused when I left.

He subconsciously turned his eyes, trying to quietly search for Ah Cai's whereabouts, but he saw a sudden commotion in the lobby, and a sharp and furious voice suddenly echoed among the figures coming and going...
