my old life

Chapter 2443

As the saying goes, reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles, and traveling thousands of miles is not as good as reading countless people.

Coming to this brand new country, everything is a new feeling!

The car passed through the streets, large and small, and the buildings outside could be seen through the windows. Basically, they were all three or four storeys high, and the buildings were all lined up together.

There are western-style buildings everywhere, no, this place is on other people's territory, and there are no oriental buildings at all.

Looking around, I feel like I have come to a different world. This is a new and strange feeling, and it is also the first time I have set foot on the land of a western country.

"Xiaona, what is the first thing we are going to do here?" I asked curiously, every city has its own unique charm.

"Accommodating jet lag."

"I don't feel jet lag!"

"Maybe it's because you spent a lot of time in the dark."

"I slept all the way on the plane, so it happened to be jet lagged." I joked, no wonder I felt refreshed in the morning.

According to the previous time at home, it is estimated that it will be night now, and every night is the most exciting time for me.

"We are now passing the Tower Bridge, with the River Thames below. There are 28 bridges on the entire river, and the Tower of London is over there."

Xiaona kept introducing me, and felt that the "evil capitalism" was not bad, and the whole city looked better than expected.

This kind of goodness is not a brand-new feeling, but a feeling of time and history.

After walking for more than ten minutes, the car seems to have entered the new urban area. The architectural style has obviously become brighter and brighter. It does not look dull like white and gray buildings, but is full of modern atmosphere.

"Xiaona, what is that magnificent building? It looks huge!"

"That's the British Museum. Shadowland used to dominate the sea in the Age of Discovery and colonized many countries, so there will be many things in the museum."

"Isn't it just snatching it back? It's a matter of a word." I smiled and lit a cigarette, but I didn't really like it.

The burning of the Old Summer Palace took away many things. This is a history that cannot be forgotten, and it is a shame that cannot be forgotten.

"You can also say that." Xiaona explained, seeing that something was wrong with her face.

"It was originally snatched back, there is nothing to hide, and there is no need to deliberately beautify it."

"Mr. Hawkeye, you are so funny." Xiaona smiled awkwardly, but she gave me the feeling that she was talking here.

"Remember one sentence, no matter how round the moon is abroad, this is not your home." After saying this, Xiaona didn't say anything, a typical appearance of forgetting her roots when she went out.

I have never felt that the moon in foreign countries is more round. I know that some things cannot be compared, and it will take some time for my hometown to develop.

There is nothing wrong with people wanting to integrate into a better environment. It can only be said that there are all kinds of birds in the forest, and it can only be said that quality education is imminent!
The car slowly passed through the city all the way, and the parking should have arrived at the hotel. I couldn't understand English everywhere.

However, there are many national flags hanging at the entrance of the hotel, including the national flag of Yingguo and the star flag of the European Union. In an instant, I feel that the hotel has become taller!

This is a hotel that looks like a palace. The pillars at the entrance are as high as two or three floors, and the red decoration gives people a very classical feeling.

I don't understand architectural aesthetics, but I know that real aesthetics will bring people enjoyment, as long as anyone can feel comfortable at a glance...that is success!
The red building is very westernized, and it feels a bit like Christmas, but the entrance of the hall is a bit small.

There is a doorman at the door to help open the door. He wears white gloves and a red uniform, but he does not wear a tall hat on his head.

Xiaona got out of the car and chattered, there was no luggage in the first place, people like us travel all over the world with nothing.

Entering the hotel feels familiar, the spacious and bright lobby, the indoor fountain, the black glossy marble floor, and the row of time clocks hanging on the wall.

The time is marked all over the world. I feel that the style of domestic hotels is similar to this, or they are basically the same city.

Alex arranged the room, and there was a sculptural design on the door of the room, giving people a sense of classical luxury.

Entering the room feels extremely luxurious, everything is in the British style, I didn't expect Xiaona to still be with her... She has no intention of leaving.

"Do you want to stay with me all the time?" I asked with a smile. She is not beautiful when she is young, her looks are below average.

"Mr. Hawkeye, I am your round-the-clock interpreter, responsible for everything you do in London."

"Does it include life?" I asked deliberately. It is better to find out the scope of services in advance.

"I can pour coffee for you, whatever I can." She explained cleverly, feeling that her EQ is pretty good.

As soon as I heard this, I understood, and I still miss my life assistant Li Xiaorou, but I can't take her with me when I go to Kaohsiung.

I know Jennifer will arrange for her, but I don't know when we can meet again, even if Mike doesn't need her, I still need her!
As the saying goes, habit becomes nature.

Habits form when one's hands are free, and the feeling of assigning people can be really addictive, which is why once you hire a nanny you can't stop.

Among many wealthy families, those who have not hired a nanny don't need one, and after hiring a nanny, they often have to hire more... because laziness is one of human nature.

Many people need to use assignments to improve their status, so as to obtain superior psychological expectations, which is also a proof and embodiment of self-worth.

"Give me a cup of coffee, it doesn't taste too bitter."

"Cappuccino will taste better with milk, wait a moment." Xiaona turned and left the room, and I turned to sit on the leather sofa.

I took out a cigarette and lit it, quietly looking at the ceiling of the room, but this strange place made me feel free.

This is a country that is both familiar and unfamiliar. According to the previous plan, Mike should visit the teacher of the Royal Orchestra soon.

Before this, Mike had asked for my opinion. If he wanted to untie this knot, he must visit, but he didn't know if everything would go well.

Soon Xiaona returned to the room, she seemed to have only been out for a few minutes, with empty hands and nothing.

"Where's the coffee?"

"It will be delivered in a while, please wait..."

"Okay." I waved to her to sit down, I am a very casual person, I don't have so many problems.

"Mr. Hawkeye, please prepare some tips. Tips are required here... because there is no distinction between high and low industries here, and the service industry is a respectable industry."

After reminding Xiaona, she explained again, I have long heard that mental preparation takes time to adapt to unfamiliar places.

"You go to Alex to get some money, I don't have cash."

"There is an international exchange service here, and you can exchange your bank card for pounds from anywhere."

"OK, I'll go to the bathroom first."

In the bathroom, I took off my shoes and took out the bank card, and put it on the marble table to cool down, because the card was still a little warm.

I am used to putting my bank card in my shoes when I go out, because anything can happen, and I am not afraid of losing it in my shoes.

Many habits I have developed before cannot be changed. Even though I know that there will not be too much danger by Mike's side, I still cannot change the habit of being cautious.

A few minutes later, I gave Xiaona my bank card. As soon as she left, someone knocked on the door. I wanted to look for Maoyan, but I couldn’t find it!
There are no peepholes on the solid wood door, which is really fresh...

When I opened the door, I saw a foreigner pushing a dining cart with a metal cover on it. Could it be that lunch was delivered so soon?

I couldn't understand what the old man was talking about in the outhouse. He pushed the dining car directly into the room, opened the metal cover, and there was only a cup of coffee and two packs of white sugar inside.

A plate and a coffee cup look very delicate, but a cup of coffee still needs to be pushed over by a dining cart?Is this a bit of an overkill?
"Thank you." I nodded to express my gratitude. He should be able to understand thank you, but I don't have a tip to give.

He nodded and stood there without moving. I thought to myself that this is a tip!

I know that the values ​​of the East and the West are different. If the service industry is respected here, then I can't break the rules...
