AIHG Six-star Club!

The famous AIHG Six-star Club, mainly built with glass wall, was in a modern and classic fashion. The coastal building was located in the center of the city, and collected the most well-prepared leisure entertainment places in the world, including the large-and-medium-sized Golf Clubs, the Performance Centers better than the theaters of Hollywood awards show as well as the Sailing Club where countless distinguished guests were frequently seen on the yatch.

And there were the top Cigar Club and the most well-equipped Beauty Salon. What was more, they had private aircrafts and helicopters to bring the most respected guests from all around the world!

It became the meeting place, second only to Asian Grand Hotel, to receive leaders of our country and of other countries most often! So the numerous tourists who came to this place were all in an uproar when they passed through this great semi-transparent building!

Today was an important day for AIHG! After one year of selection, from nearly two thousand sommeliers, the last five best contestants were selected for the final selection.

President Jiang issued an order today to change the final examination site from Asian Grand Hotel to the banquet hall in AIHG. Therefore, today, the superior leaders of the Club and the general director, the manager of catering department, the manager of the Western-style Restaurant, the manager of the Chinese Restaurant, the manager of the French Restaurant, the chief chef, the chief steward, the chief sommelier and the winemaker of Asian Grand Hotel, wearing the black uniform of the hotel, quickly walked out of the hall and stood in front of the white stairs. They looked at the spiral street paved with white stones on both sides of the fountain and waited seriously.

Finally, everyone saw a group of orderly vehicles slowly coming from the coastal avenue. The leading car was a black Rolls-Royce Limousine, shining under the bright sunlight.

The superior members immediately stood erectly on the both sides of the stairs!

When everyone was expecting, the car drove towards the fountain, cycled and stopped right beside the stairs.

The general manager of the Club and the general manager of the Hotel with their secretaries arrived at the door of the Rolls-royce as fast as possible. They personally opened the door and bowed to greet him. “Boss…”

“Um…” A deep voice came from the car. Immediately, the entire hall of honor and fashion manifested a strong cohesion. Everyone knew that under the leadership of the king, the future AIHG would enter a new era in a certain time.

A black figure heaved in everyone’s sight!

Then Jiang Tianxing, wearing a black straight striped suit and the blue-and-white plaid boutonniere, stepped out of the limousine in a dignified manner. Both of his hands gently clasped his clothes, and his eyes swept across all those present. He was silent. No one knew what kind of information were contained in his eyes. He walked inside and asked slowly, “How’s the sommelier competition this time?”

Huo Ming, the general manager of the Hotel, followed behind Jiang Tianxing and said, “This time, the last five most outstanding contestants chosen from two thousand people have passed through twelve rounds of selection. But their actual strengths are unknown now.”

Jiang Tianxing didn’t say a word. After passing the glorious hall, all the receptionists and other staff stood up and nodded to greet him.

“When will Lawrence leave?” Jiang Tianxing passed the hall and walked to the lift.

Dongying stood behind him and said to him, “He will leave by air tomorrow night! He said that he would stay and watch the final selection of today until he could select the most outstanding sommelier to serve the British Prince and Princess who will visit China three days later!”

Jiang Tianxing hesitated for a moment before saying with a cold face, “Why can’t you find the best talent in such a big country! In our hotel, there are a total of 380 sommeliers, but none of them satisfied him. See what you are doing? ”

All the superior members hold their breath.

The door of the lift opened. Jiang Tianxing walked in, and Dongying and the three secretaries walked in as well. All the superior members stood outside the door, bowing respectfully and waiting for the next lift!

The door of the top crystal banquet hall suddenly opened!

Jiang Tianxing walked on the crystal floor with a cold face, entering the semi-circle hall of nearly two thousand square meters. He sat at the front of the square table and those who served as the judges of the last selection sat down on both sides gravely. Dongying and the other secretaries immediately went up to deliver the list of the last five sommeliers to Jiang Tianxing!

Jiang Tianxing grimly picked up the blue folder and opened it. He saw the first sommelier, a fifty-year-old French, who once worked in a famous centennial restaurant in French and had received many heads of different countries. Looking at the resumes, he slowly asked, “Are they all here?”

Standing beside him, Dongying said with an anxious look, “I’m still connecting the last one… She hasn’t  come yet, and I can’t get through… She is a twenty-year-old girl, and also a dark horse in this competition…”
