Rebirth of Hong Kong Island, leading the technology war

Chapter 651 A Rich Second Generation Should Live Like One

Hu Jiangshan drove his electric scooter to Tenglong Island Resort.

Just past the eastern end of the canyon, Hu Xiaoshan felt a strong sense of community; the atmosphere was bustling and lively.

The resort is incredibly popular right now.

This is really weird. The carnival should be over by now, so why are there still so many tourists?

Of course, the overall situation was better than the carnival a few days ago; at least it wasn't as crowded and jostling.

The waterfall swimming pool on the first floor was filled with children.

They laughed and joked, having a great time playing in the water in all sorts of ways, creating a vibrant and joyful scene.

The most popular spot is undoubtedly the resort's commercial street.

From top to bottom, it looks like there are throngs of tourists, many drinking coffee and beverages, and many drinking beer.
The ecosystem of the commercial street is now very well-developed.

Most of them are food and beverage establishments, such as beverage shops, fast food restaurants, bars, and all sorts of restaurants.

Most of the foods that tourists want to eat can be found here.

Of course, there are also convenience stores, gift shops, and the like.

However, there is currently a lack of pharmacies and clinics.

It's worth noting that this can be a bit of a hassle, as tourists are prone to catching a cold or getting sick while on vacation.

If I don't have any medicine with me and there's nowhere to buy it, I'll have to go back to Hong Kong Island, which would be a big problem.

Fortunately, the resort had made preparations in advance, and medicines were temporarily provided in the lobby to meet the needs of commonly used medicines, but prescription drugs were still not available.

There's no rush, things will come eventually.

As Hu Jiangshan walked uphill, he couldn't help but peek inside the Wolong Ice Room when he passed by.

Goodness, the first floor is about 80-90% full, business is booming.

Feng Chao is really good at this business.

It's worth noting that Feng Chao runs at least 70% of the shops on the entire commercial street, and every single one of them is doing quite well.

Although Feng Chao put in a lot of effort to acquire these shops, the returns were equally high.

For example, Wo Lung Cafe's overall prices are about 50% higher than its flagship store on Hong Kong Island, resulting in substantial profits.

Hu Jiangshan rubbed his stomach. He hadn't felt it before, but now he did feel a little hungry.

Would you like to have a meal here?
Should we wait until the rooms are arranged before discussing this?
Just then, someone came out. The graceful female shop assistant was none other than Liu Zixia.

No, to be precise, Liu Zixia has now been promoted to store manager, and her uniform is different from that of ordinary waitresses.

To be honest, Liu Zixia was a newcomer, and her rapid promotion was all thanks to Hu Jiangshan.

When Liu Zixia saw Hu Jiangshan arrive, she quickly came out, her big eyes blinking and curving, making her even more beautiful.

"Mr. Hu, you've arrived."

"Ah, yes."

Liu Zixia quickly stepped aside: "Mr. Hu, please come in."

Hu Jiangshan hesitated for a moment and asked, "Are there any seats? I see the place is full."

"There are seats available. The really nice private room on the second floor is still empty."

"Okay, I'll just grab something to eat."

"Alright, please come in."

With that, Hu Jiangshan followed Liu Zixia into the restaurant.

Liu Zixia was in front, and Hu Jiangshan looked at her slender back and suddenly felt a little itchy.

Lately, Hu Jiangshan has felt himself getting increasingly... well, he gets all sorts of fantasies whenever he sees a pretty girl.

To be honest, he's a bit of a jerk, increasingly resembling the old Hu Jiangshan.

But this is different; there is a distinction between the two. Hu Jiangshan is able to control himself and will not be overwhelmed by desires.

At this moment, perhaps sensing Hu Jiangshan's burning gaze, Liu Zixia turned around and said, "Mr. Hu, let's go to the second floor."

"it is good."

The two went up the stairs one after the other. From this angle, seeing Liu Zixia made Hu Jiangshan even more restless.

Once upstairs, Liu Zixia led Hu Jiangshan to the private room.

Hu Jiangshan had met Catherine in a private room before; the environment was absolutely amazing.

Hu Jiangshan didn't feel embarrassed; this was Feng Chao's shop, there was no need to be shy.

Hu Jiangshan and Liu Zixia ordered some food casually and drank tea while waiting.

To be honest, the tea at Wolong Ice Room is really good. Although it may not be the most expensive, it is the best-tasting. Hu Jiangshan found it quite pleasant to drink.

Sipping tea and enjoying the scenery, this is truly a wonderful life.

Once this busy period is over, Hu Jiangshan needs to take a few days to rest and enjoy a carefree life.

Hu Jiangshan is acting outrageously now. He doesn't live like a typical rich kid at all; he's completely upside down.

Not long after, Liu Zixia brought in the food that Hu Jiangshan had ordered.

Hu Jiangshan smiled and said, "Manager Liu, are you short-staffed here? Why are you always the one who's busy?"

Liu Zixia smiled charmingly: "President Feng specifically instructed that we must provide excellent service to Mr. Hu when he comes."

"Oh, that's great. It's so nice to have such a beautiful girl like Manager Liu entertaining me. It's like a breath of fresh air."

"Mr. Hu, I'll take this as a compliment."

"Of course that's a compliment. With a beautiful lady like Manager Liu, there's no doubt that I'm just being polite."

Liu Zixia said, "Mr. Hu is also very handsome and stylish."

Hu Jiangshan laughed and said, "Thank you then. A beautiful woman and a handsome man are a perfect match. Manager Liu, if you're not busy, shall we have a cup of tea together?"

Liu Zixia hesitated for a moment and said, "Then I'll finish what I'm doing in a bit and then come over."

"Okay, I'll wait for you."

The journey is exhilarating, and if there are beautiful women accompanying me, there's no rush to arrange hotel rooms.

Not long after, Liu Zixia returned, even bringing a bottle of red wine.

The two drank and chatted, enjoying themselves immensely, and their conversation became increasingly in-depth.

As they got into the swing of things, Hu Jiangshan and Liu Zixia started playing games, changing them up in different ways.

You know, Hu Jiangshan used to be quite the player, and he still has all those tricks up his sleeve, though he rarely uses them.

Hu Jiangshan simply asked Liu Zixia to sit closer, and the girl agreed without hesitation.

Then Hu Jiangshan and Liu Zixia started playing cards, and they played for more than an hour before they stopped.

Hu Jiangshan sipped his coffee while watching Liu Zixia tidy herself up, feeling a sense of lingering satisfaction.

A moment later, Hu Jiangshan said goodbye to Liu Zixia and went to the hotel lobby to arrange his room.

Catherine had already spoken to the resort management beforehand, and that as long as Hu Jiangshan came, he would be assigned a reserved room in the main building, which was the suite that Hu Jiangshan had stayed in before.

Although it wasn't a vacation home, the conditions were quite good—spacious and comfortable, offering a better view of the resort and Tenglong Bay. Hu Jiangshan closed the door and immediately collapsed onto the sofa.

Good heavens, what I did at Wolong Ice Room was really tough. It was so strenuous that I almost threw out my back.

But then again, compared to that, Catherine's incident was the most serious. Catherine was truly deadly; Hu Jiangshan almost lost his life.

In the evening, Hu Jiangshan took another long stroll along the commercial street and the beach, experiencing the resort's nightlife.

The resort was quite beautiful at night; the lights came on, and everything was hazy.

The starry sky on Tenglong Island is naturally very bright, free from any pollution, and has excellent visibility.

To be fair, the nighttime activities are quite plentiful. Catherine's top-notch operations team truly lives up to its reputation, making this place vibrant and exciting, with activities every night.

If tourists want a lively atmosphere, they'll definitely have a unique experience.

After Hu Jiangshan had had his fill of fun, he suddenly remembered something as he walked back, so he turned a corner and went to Wolong Ice Room again.

Hu Jiangshan drank coffee while waiting for Liu Zixia to get off work.

As the store manager, Liu Zixia wasn't particularly busy, but she still had to handle some matters and guide operations, so she couldn't leave the store.

Hu Jiangshan waited until Liu Zixia got off work before inviting her to his hotel room.

As usual, we drank alcohol first, then played cards.

Liu Zixia didn't leave until very early the next morning.

Early morning, Hong Kong Island government pier.

A ship slowly sailed away from the dock and headed out to sea.

This is a government vessel with a special paint scheme and markings on its hull.

Hong Kong Island civil servants typically use such vessels when they need to go out to sea.

At this time, there were five people on the ship besides the crew.

They are all employees of the Hong Kong government, from the environmental protection department.

The leader was named Zhao Donglian, the vice minister of the Ministry of Environmental Protection.

The environmental protection department is a relatively large department on Hong Kong Island, with nearly 100 employees and its own team of expert advisors.

For example, one of the green environmental protection experts who came with the team this time is named Kevin.

Kevin is German, obtained a green card in Hong Kong, and married a woman from Hong Kong, so he can work and live in Hong Kong.

At this time, the official vessel was already sailing on the vast ocean.

The sea breeze was a bit chilly in the morning, but still quite mild, and the group chatted idly on the deck, enjoying the sea breeze.

Kevin said, "Minister Zhao, does that mean this land reclamation project is on an outlying island?"

Zhao Dongmei said, "Yes, Mr. Kevin, it's on an island in the open sea, but it's not far, it only takes half an hour at most."

"Oh, to be honest, I'm a little surprised that the Hong Kong government was able to approve such a project."

Zhao Donglian asked, "Why?"

"Minister Zhao should understand that land reclamation causes serious damage to the ecological environment. The direct impact may not be eliminated for four or five years and will also cause many irreversible effects."

Zhao Donglian was quite familiar with this kind of rhetoric and had to admit that Kevin was right.

However, we cannot do nothing just because of the impact on the ecological environment.

For example, on Hong Kong Island, there have been many land reclamation projects, which is an effective way to increase land area.

The Hong Kong government established the environmental protection department to strike a balance between environmental protection and development. It cannot mean that it should prioritize environmental protection, otherwise it will be unable to do anything.

At this point, Kevin changed the subject again: "However, the ecological environment of Hong Kong Island's outlying islands isn't much better either, so when you think about it carefully, it doesn't really matter."

Zhao Dongmei gave a wry smile: "It seems that in the eyes of these foreign experts, Hong Kong Island is indeed not a place with a beautiful environment. Even the outlying islands are basically in a very desolate state. To be honest, the ecological environment is really not good."

However, Zhao Dongmei had also heard that Tenglong Island was indeed different; it was a small island with a very beautiful environment.

Zhao Dongmei said, "I heard there's a resort on Tenglong Island that's very popular now. Many wealthy people choose to vacation there. The prices are high, but it's hard to find a room. The ecological environment there should be pretty good."

Kevin shrugged: "Minister Zhao, I don't think so. I heard that the resort is newly opened, and if it's run well, many people will come to support it, but it has nothing to do with the island's environment."

Zhao Dongmei did not continue to pursue this topic.

Although she is the Minister for Environmental Protection of Hong Kong Island, she has been very busy recently, with endless things to deal with every day, and has not been able to visit Teng Lung Island in person.

Besides, there's no need to go to an outlying island unless there's official business involved.

Moreover, Zhao Dongmei felt that Kevin's words made sense and did not think that there were many beautiful outlying islands near Hong Kong Island.

Tenglong Island has a good reputation, mostly because the island is well-beautified.

For example, you can create some gardens or exquisite buildings, and keep the environment clean. As long as you are willing to spend money, it is possible to achieve this.

After chatting for a while, the typhoon gradually intensified, so everyone went into the cabin.

A moment later, a crew member entered the cabin and said, "Gentlemen, we are almost at Tenglong Island."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Dongmei quickly got up and left the cabin, heading to the foredeck to see if the legendary Tenglong Island team was as good as people said.
Upon closer inspection, Zhao Dongmei's eyes widened in surprise.

Zhao Dongmei couldn't help but ask the crew member next to her, "Is Tenglong Island really that big? It looks like a large island."

The crew member replied, "More or less. It's not a large island, but rather a medium-sized one."

As they spoke, the official vessel drew closer and closer to Tenglong Island.

The look of shock on Zhao Dongmei's face grew increasingly intense.

"My God! How did Tenglong Island end up like this?"

When Kevin heard Zhao Dongmei speak, he also crawled out of the cabin, thinking to himself that Zhao Dongmei was making a fuss over nothing and seemed like she had never seen the world before.

"Minister Zhao, what's wrong? What's on Tenglong Island...?"

Before Kevin could finish speaking, he looked up and his nonchalant expression froze on his face.

"Oh! Wang Defa! Is that Tenglong Island? My God!"

Kevin's reaction was even more exaggerated than Zhao Dongmei's, because he had already seen the situation in the waters near Tenglong Island.

The seawater around the island is so clear that it looks like jade from a distance, and you can even see schools of fish at this distance.

Either the visibility in the seawater is too high, or the fish is too big, or both.

Keep in mind that it's still morning, and the sunlight hasn't even reached direct intensity yet, and the effect is already this exaggerated.

If the sun shines directly on the sea, it will be even more beautiful and colorful.

Soon, the official vessel approached the entrance to Tenglong Bay.

Zhao Dongmei, Kevin, and the other members were speechless for a moment, and could only utter various exclamations.

"My God!"

"Oh! Incredible!"

"This place is so eerie!"

That wasn't all. When the official vessel entered Tenglong Bay, they couldn't even utter a sound of amazement.

This Tenglong Island is simply incredible, unbelievably beautiful!
