Chapter 1269 Ask me
Du Lin was also surprised when he received the call. His Highness the eldest prince has been very active recently. No matter where he is, he seems to be able to see him.
But when he needed to contact him at work, he often couldn't see anyone for various reasons.
Everyone knows that he is hiding from some people and talking about some recent things.
Now that he took the initiative to appear in front of him, Du Lin couldn't figure out what the eldest prince was thinking for a while. Everyone knew that he was the successor of Magus' strong support, and would inevitably become the leader of the new party in the future, and even have the opportunity to win the throne like the imperial prime minister.
The guy who is digging the corners of the New Party, actually invited the New Party's star to the future. It makes people feel a little strange no matter how you look at it.
Du Lin would not think that this was the eldest prince who wanted to win over him or even poach him into the imperial party, because his status in the new party was definitely not something that the imperial party and the eldest prince could give him.
Everyone knows that he represents the political continuation of Magus. If nothing unexpected happens, he will definitely be the prime minister, and he is now a governor.
What can the Imperial Party give him?
Apart from giving him a worthless party position, he cannot access any actual power. Even if the other party offers him a very high price, it is not cost-effective for him.
After thinking about it, Du Lin felt that it would be better to meet His Highness the Great Prince. If he was kind-hearted, then everyone would naturally be at peace.
If he is malicious or has other intentions, he can also learn some inside information as soon as possible and beware of his actions in future events.
After agreeing to the request of the eldest prince, Du Lin started to set off. Ophelia is now staying in the hospital without saying hello, so she went out in a light car in a simple way. After getting on the bus, she found the best hotel in the imperial capital according to the address given by His Highness the Great Prince... one of them.
The Imperial Light Hotel is not a particularly famous hotel. It is often almost non-existent in the perception of most people. Unlike the Kailemen Hotel or the Dilin, the Imperial Light Hotel is very low-key, so low-key that even ordinary people in the imperial capital know very little.
This is mainly because the Light of Empire has stipulated that it will not receive civilian guests since its inception. This is a five-story hotel hidden at No. 27 Imperial Avenue, covering an area of about 2,000 square meters, and belongs to the controlled area of Empire Avenue near the Imperial Palace.
Walking here requires carrying some valid identification certificates, because at any time there will be agents from the Bureau of Investigation and MIIS agents to stop those pedestrians who may seem very suspicious or very unsuspecting and ask for proof.
Once you cannot prove your innocence, the people from the Bureau of Investigation will be very rude to invite the person back to the Bureau of Investigation and have a torture meal. If it falls into the hands of the MIIS, you will not be able to prove your identity within three days, so there is no need to prove it.
Most of those people have evaporated from the world and have never been ruthless about the attacks on spies. As long as they cannot prove themselves, there must be problems. It doesn’t matter if there is any problem. What is important is that all those with problems should die.
Therefore, most people in the imperial capital are unwilling to go back and forth on this journey. It is really not a good feeling to be invited to have coffee for free, even if they are locals in the imperial capital.
Of course, this does not mean that there are very few people on this road, but in fact there are not many people. In addition to the section close to the palace, the Imperial Avenue, that is, the section close to the city center, is the most prosperous place in the imperial capital.
Almost all the luxury goods you can see at home and abroad have their own direct stores here. Every day, countless public figures such as politicians, celebrities, performing artists, etc. appear here to shop. Of course, most of them will not be close to the palace. After all, that is a very troublesome thing.
This environment has made the unknown of the Imperial Light Hotel. Even if someone passes by here, he will soon forget about this hotel with a small door and not a luxurious appearance from the outside.
Those who have never been in will never understand the luxury and dignity of this hotel, after all, this was once one of the royal assets.
The car stopped at the guard office, and two military personnel transferred guards came out of the booth, looked at Dulin sitting in the back seat, and then registered the words "Durlin and the entourage in total" on the notebook before turning on the roadblock, and the car slowly drove into the core of Empire Avenue.
On the road, some young pedestrians looked at the driving car curiously, guessing who was sitting inside and what position they were in, otherwise how could they drive the car into it?
However, those older people don’t make a fuss. They work here or live nearby for a long time. Such prominent figures have long been numb and used to them.
The car slowly stopped outside the door of the Imperial Light Hotel, and the doorman stood outside the door and waited for about ten seconds.
Sometimes, due to some special reasons, when there are more than one passenger and one driver in the car, the person sitting in the main seat is more important and special. The person sitting in the co-pilot will take the initiative to help more important people open the car door.
At this time, if the doorman opens the car door one step ahead, he will definitely offend people because his identity and status may not match the guest behind him.
Some people don’t care about these things that emphasize ritualism, but some people regard this as a daily life principle and will get angry and lose their temper if they make a mistake.
The little guy may not be afraid, but they can’t do anything when they really meet the big guy, so the best way is to wait.
If the passenger is a little unhappy, regardless of whether he feels neglected or not, the doorman will immediately follow the words "The car has stopped, sir, please get out of the car."
As soon as this sentence was explained, even if those people felt a little unhappy, they all passed.
Just as he stopped and waited, the co-pilot's door opened, and the doorman smiled and bent his waist lower and gave it to the side. This was the benefit of caution.
Dufo opened the door of the back seat and Dulin stepped out. This time he only brought Dufo alone, mainly because it was not convenient to enter here, especially when there were too many people.
After getting off the car, Du Lin moved his shoulders and walked towards the hotel. Du Fu stood there and took out a stack of two dollar denominations from his pocket, clicked five pieces and pulled them out.
Five pieces of paper money fell to the ground, and he followed a few steps without looking back, keeping up with Du Lin's pace.
The doorman who had been bent over squatting down, picked up the money scattered on the ground, and put it in his pocket properly.
Only 50% of this tip really belongs to him, 20% are from the manager on duty today, 15% are from the waiter for the head, and 15% will be distributed to other people in his team. This is the rule.
Although they have to be divided by others every time they have tips, this job is really profitable. Even if they are half of them, they have no complaints.
Entering the hotel lobby, the crimson carpet was laid on the yellow and white floor tiles inlaid with gold. It was not the gold edges that people described, but the real gold edges, covering the gaps between the bricks with gold to achieve the purpose of beauty.
The golden, white and yellow are complemented by a bright red carpet, which highlights the noble style at once.
As soon as the two came in, the lobby manager immediately greeted her. She was a girl who looked like she was twenty-seven or eight years old. She was wearing a neutral formal outfit. She had a good face and looked good, but she would not make people feel charming.
All the people here are real big shots. These people have never seen any occasion or charitable behavior in their lives. It is better to wear rigorously and formally than to wear less here.
The higher the venue, the harder it is to see girls who can’t afford to wear clothes. After all, these venues are too high-end and cannot be entered by poor girls.
"Mr. Dulin, your highness and the others have arrived. Please follow me..." The manager's voice was very pleasant. She walked in front of Dulin. The three of them walked through the hall and entered the elevator. There were five elevator doors in total, and only five single-story areas were allowed to reach five single-story areas.
After entering the elevator, the manager asked with a smile, "If you are not busy, I would like to introduce you to the history of the Light of the Empire..."
This is naturally a must-have thing. The girl... is actually older than Dulin. She looks smaller after putting on makeup and has a small face. She kept introducing the history of the Empire Light while leading Dulin to the room. The whole process was about three minutes.
In three minutes, the construction of the Light of the Empire, the celebrities who have been entertained here in history, and some developments are now introduced. The text is concise but not simple. It is obviously written by a special person, and she just happened to be at the door, so she finished her introduction.
The girl knocked on the door. After about ten seconds, the door was opened from the inside. She bent down and reached out to lead Du Lin and Dufo into the inside, while she stayed outside.
Two girls came to greet Du Lin in the room, and then took him through several more doors before seeing His Highness the Great Prince.
Everything is good here, but it's a bit too big.
In fact, in the past, we could only receive four guests at the same time, living on the second, third, fourth and fifth floors respectively. Now there have been some changes in the operation. The first floor is still used as a restaurant and some supporting facilities. The second and third floors have been divided into six rooms on each floor, the fourth floor has been divided into three rooms, and the fifth floor has maintained a super suite of one floor, a total of two thousand square meters!
This time the eldest prince’s banquet was on the fifth floor, which used to be the property of the royal family. Naturally, royal members came here to spend discounts that others did not have, but even if there was a discount, 20,000 or 30,000 would be lost.
"Mr. Dulin, haha, I'm waiting for you!" His Highness the eldest prince was very enthusiastic, very lively, very enthusiastic. He walked towards Dulin with a smile, feeling very familiar.
In fact, the two of them did not have such a good relationship before, and they had never even said a few words. Most of the time, the so-called "meeting" means looking at each other from a distance in certain activities and nodding.
But now, he is like Du Lin’s good friend for many years, and he is extremely enthusiastic.
He also glanced at Dufo, patted Dufo's arm, and threw it over with the paradise that had not been opened in his hand, "Dufo, right, it's fun. If you have anything to do today, you can tell these girls directly, everything is fine!" He raised his eyebrows, and the meaning was self-evident.
The Buddha is a little confused, but when someone smiles at you and shows goodwill to you, even if you are a gatekeeper, you will not punch him immediately, let alone there is no conflict between them so far.
He turned around and hugged Du Lin's shoulder and walked inside.
This room is about 100 square meters. In addition to the dance floor and bar, there is also a large sofa set and a coffee table.
Seven men and one woman were already standing next to the sofa, and three other girls were serving in the room.
As soon as the three of them came in, the people showed sincere and hypocritical smiles on their faces, saying that they were sincere because they saw benefits and interests in Dulin, and saying that they were hypocritical because they did this because they wanted to know Dulin and be friends with Dulin.
Two of them, Dulin, knew each other, and a vice chairman of the board of directors of Bondika Military Industry Group. He represented the group company to deal with some public-facing things, which can be regarded as a role similar to a press spokesperson.
Another is the very famous female editor of the Empire Daily, and is also one of the initiators of the feminist movement, and is well-known among the feminist fighters.
As for the others, they don’t know any of them, but being able to appear in such an occasion means that they are definitely not easy.
"Come on, let me introduce to you our new friends, Governor of Ambilou, Mr. Dulin!" His Highness, the eldest prince, made the atmosphere very lively and warm, and then began to introduce these guests to Dulin one by one.
In addition to the vice chairman of Bondika and the editor-in-chief of the Imperial Daily, the other six are all celebrities, wealthy businessmen, and very famous and influential social activists.
Among them, this social activist Thor and Dulin have worked with him, just to give him money and let him raise the rhythm of public opinion.
This guy pays great attention to maintaining his image. A considerable amount of the money he earns is used in charity activities. He packaged himself like a brave and unyielding fight against injustice and shady situations. A large number of people in society admire him.
If those people knew about the deal behind him and saw that he could appear in such an occasion, I am afraid this fighter would be a joker.
After introducing these people, everyone sat down separately. Du Lin sat next to His Highness the Great Prince. This was also what His Highness the Great Prince asked, which shows his importance to Du Lin.
The atmosphere on the table began to become active with the first glass of wine. As we chatted, we talked about some of the situations of the Imperial Party.
Because the Imperial Party was still in its inception, the eldest prince announced the establishment of the Imperial Party, but after all, it was just a temporary choice. Now it will take a process to truly establish it. On the contrary, the Labor Party has actually completed the transformation from trade unions to political parties. That is because they already have a framework, just a change of name.
"I have encountered a lot of trouble in the process of forming a party recently. I just took this opportunity to ask you for advice..." The eldest prince picked up the wine glass and looked at Du Lin with a smile.
