Rebirth of Hong Kong Island, leading the technology war

Chapter 605 Hotel Restaurant: Dilraba Picks Up on Me? Boss Hu: How Do You Know About Me and Chen Yifei?
Hu Jiangshan leisurely sipped a cup of coffee in the hotel lobby, the rich aroma making him feel relaxed.

In fact, he only stayed for a short while before getting up and returning to his room.

The rooms at the Ampple Hotel maintain their consistently high standards.

Although the room wasn't particularly spacious, the decor was very upscale, showcasing exquisite taste in every detail.

The decoration materials were impeccable; they were all carefully selected top-quality products, and there was absolutely no rough or perfunctory workmanship to be found.

From the textured paint on the walls to the solid wood flooring, from the heavy texture of the curtains to the elegant design of the lighting fixtures, every detail has been carefully designed.

These rooms are designed to be warm and comfortable, making guests feel at home as soon as they enter.

Everyone says Huayao is the industry's worst enemy, and that's no exaggeration.

Huayao's creations, however casually they may seem, are always top-notch, possessing the ability to completely disrupt the industry.

Moreover, the room Wang Chengdong arranged for him was a suite, consisting of two rooms, one inside and one outside, which was quite spacious.

The outer room is the living room, furnished with a comfortable sofa and coffee table, while the inner room is the bedroom, with bedding that looks very comfortable.

Hu Jiangshan was very satisfied with the arrangement and gave Wang Chengdong a big thumbs up in his heart, feeling that the boss had indeed considered things very carefully.

After returning to his room, Hu Jiangshan first took a comfortable nap.

He was feeling a bit tired after several busy days, and he slept exceptionally well.

When I woke up, it was already evening. The city lights were just coming on outside the window, and the night view of the city was unfolding.

Feeling his stomach growling with hunger, Hu Jiangshan decided to go to a restaurant to get something to eat.

He quickly tidied his clothes and went downstairs to the hotel restaurant.

The restaurant isn't very large, but it's very exquisite and cozy, continuing the overall design style of the hotel.

Soft lighting, comfortable chairs, and exquisite tableware on the table create an elegant atmosphere.

Hu Jiangshan found a seat by the window, ordered some light meals, and a cup of coffee.

While waiting for his meal, he took out his phone and started browsing.

At this time of year, Hu Jiangshan usually browses various media outlets, both domestic and international, paying attention to news, especially those related to technology.

This period coincides with a critical phase of technological change, during which several landmark events occur from time to time.

As a time traveler and a reborn individual, Hu Jiangshan deeply understands the importance of paying attention to this information, as it relates to his judgment of future trends.

If a misjudgment is made, it may lead to an irreversible decision, which would be a huge problem, and it would be difficult to undo the damage.

Having been reborn, Hu Jiangshan couldn't afford to waste the opportunity to change history; even the slightest dissatisfaction would make him miserable for half a day.

Now that he is in mainland China, Hu Jiangshan will naturally pay close attention to the dynamics of social media on the mainland.

Most of the news was fairly ordinary, with no key information.

Occasionally, some content related to Huayao would appear, such as the outlook for the latest generation of mobile phone chips, but most of them were unverified rumors, which Hu Jiangshan couldn't help but find amusing.

It's astonishing that so many people still believe that Huayao's chips are actually secretly manufactured by TSMC, and that the mainland cannot independently produce them.

Some people speculate that the chips were smuggled in through special channels, then re-polished and passed off as products independently developed by Huayao.

Hu Jiangshan couldn't help but laugh out loud as he looked at these absurd rumors.

These self-media creators really have rich imaginations; they dare to think of any possibility, and not only do they dare to think of it, they also dare to write it down on their social media accounts and make it public, regardless of whether it makes sense or not.

Of course, to some extent, this is also the unique charm of self-media: daring to speculate and daring to speak out.

While self-media generally has a positive impact, there are also negative instances, such as the spread of rumors.

Just then, Hu Jiangshan suddenly sensed something was amiss.

This feeling has been coming on frequently lately, like being watched by someone.

Sometimes you feel a chill down your spine, which usually means the other person has malicious intent. But the feeling now is different. There's no chill; instead, it's itchy, which should be a curious gaze.

Hu Jiangshan subconsciously turned around and saw a guest sitting not far away looking in their direction.

It was a girl wearing a mask and a hat. Although she was completely covered up, Hu Jiangshan recognized her at a glance as Dilraba, the famous star.

When Hu Jiangshan looked at her, she quickly lowered her head and took small sips of her coffee.

He looked like a child who had done something wrong, which was both childish and adorable.

Hu Jiangshan had indeed never interacted with the big star Dilraba, nor had he had any contact with her in his previous life.

This is quite different from his relationship with Chen Yifei.

So Hu Jiangshan found it strange that Dilraba would notice him.

Is it just because he's handsome? Although Hu Jiangshan is somewhat narcissistic, he's not that narcissistic.

Of course, this possibility is not entirely out of the question, especially for some girls who value appearance, they might indeed stare intently at handsome men.

But for Dilraba to be in this situation still seems quite absurd.

Dilraba is at the very top of the entertainment industry, surrounded by handsome men and beautiful women. How could she possibly be so focused on Hu Jiangshan?

Hu Jiangshan shook his head and continued browsing the information on his phone.

Suddenly, more people walked into the restaurant, and their behavior was rather strange.

Although they quickly found seats and sat down, they kept looking around, as if searching for someone.

Hu Jiangshan was all too familiar with this situation; he had frequently encountered similar circumstances when he was with Chen Yifei.

There are only three types of people in this category.

One type is the paparazzi, who specialize in following celebrities, taking photos and videos secretly, and finding gossip topics to sell to the media for money.

Another type is journalists from mainstream media, especially entertainment journalists, who will take the initiative to capture images of celebrities on-site and look for opportunities to conduct interviews.

Another type is the so-called "sasaeng fans," which are those extremely obsessive fans.

These people have completely lost themselves, doing anything to chase after their idols. They do nothing but collect information and schedules about their idols and try every means to get close to them.

Of course, some self-media personalities are also mixed in, and these people are just chasing traffic, so they are not much different from paparazzi.

Dilraba was sitting there alone, and it seemed like she was in a dangerous situation.

However, this has nothing to do with Hu Jiangshan. Unlike his treatment of Chen Yifei, he doesn't know Dilraba.

Eat and drink as you please. If there's a good show to watch, that's fine too; consider it entertainment after dinner.

Those people had obviously spotted Dilraba; they kept looking in her direction, whispering and talking amongst themselves, seemingly discussing something.

Another person took out their phone and tried to take pictures secretly; their furtive behavior suggested they had ulterior motives.

Just then, the waiter brought over all the food Hu Jiangshan had ordered; the light meals and coffee emitted an enticing aroma. Hu Jiangshan sipped his coffee, watching with anticipation to see what interesting things would happen next.

Will Dilraba try to escape? Or will she be blocked by those people and cause some strange trouble?

Just then, Hu Jiangshan smelled a faint fragrance, and someone walked over and sat down directly opposite him.

Hu Jiangshan was stunned. Good heavens, why did Dilraba sit down here?

What was going on? Hu Jiangshan once thought that he had time-traveled again, or been reborn, and become some other character.

It's one thing for Hu Jiangshan and Chen Yi to have some interaction in this life, but he has no connection with Dilraba at all.

They never spoke a word to each other, neither in their past life nor in this one.

Hu Jiangshan was puzzled. Was he really that popular? This was truly inexplicable.

Dilraba noticed that Hu Jiangshan was staring at her blankly, looking completely bewildered, and found it quite amusing.

Dilraba said softly, "Excuse me, could I borrow your seat for a moment? Someone is watching me."

Hu Jiangshan looked at the group and asked, "Staring at you? Who are they? Could they be human traffickers?"

Dilraba couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Oh my, sir, you're so funny. I'm so old, how could I still sell myself?"

"Beautiful women are always in high demand."

"Thank you so much."

Hu Jiangshan then asked, "Would you like something to drink? A cup of coffee, or something to eat?"

“Ah, I… I want both food and drink.” Reba answered without hesitation.

Hu Jiangshan chuckled to himself; it seemed the rumors that Dilraba was a foodie were true.

Even at a time like this, I still want to eat.

Judging from Dilraba's appearance, she must have been starving, otherwise she wouldn't have rushed over so suddenly.

Dilraba quickly added, "Don't worry, I'll pay. You just need to order for me."

Hu Jiangshan smiled slightly: "It's nothing, just a meal. It's my honor to be able to invite a beautiful woman like you to dinner."

Dilraba is still wearing large sunglasses and a mask. She didn't dare to take them off completely when she was drinking coffee, and only dared to sip her coffee with her mouth showing. She's really quite pitiful.

Dilraba asked curiously, "By the way, do you know who I am? You haven't already recognized me, have you?"

Hu Jiangshan said calmly, "You're Dilraba, anyone can tell."

"Huh? How did you figure that out? Why? Was it that obvious?"

"Of course it's obvious, because you're beautiful," Hu Jiangshan said frankly.

Dilraba was a little embarrassed: "Oh my, you're so good at talking! No wonder you and Chen Yifei are so close."

This time, Hu Jiangshan was stunned: "Huh? What did you just say?"

Dilraba chuckled: "Don't think I don't know, you and Chen Yifei were together, weren't you?"

Seeing that Hu Jiangshan still looked bewildered, Dilraba continued, "Don't underestimate me. I have a great ability to remember faces. I can definitely recognize anyone I've seen in a photo. I'm sure I haven't made a mistake, right? Do you have a relationship with Chen Yifei?"

It took Hu Jiangshan a long time to come to his senses: "You... I don't have any special relationship with Chen Yifei, we just know each other. No, how did you know?"

Hu Jiangshan didn't even know what question to ask first.

How did Dilraba know that he had a relationship with Chen Yifei?

Saying something like "together" is too easy for people to misunderstand.

Also, how can Dilraba be so sure that the Hu Jiangshan in front of her is the one who is related to Chen Yifei?

It's truly amazing and unbelievable that someone could recognize another person at a glance after only seeing a photo or video, and be so certain of it.

"So? You admit it now? You have a relationship with Chen Yifei."

Dilraba gave a smug look, then asked, "By the way, handsome, what's your name?"

Hu Jiangshan had no choice but to honestly answer, "My surname is Guqie, and my name is Hu Jiangshan."

Dilraba pressed on, "Oh, Hu Jiangshan, I heard you're from the Hu family in Hong Kong, is that right?"

Hu Jiangshan said in surprise, "I'm so curious, how do you know so much? Did Chen Yifei tell you?"

Chen Yifei and Dilraba are in the same circle, so it's normal for them to communicate, but I've never heard of them being best friends or having a particularly close relationship.

Dilraba said, "Hi! There are no secrets in our circle. All kinds of gossip can spread very quickly, such as who is dating whom, who has a mistress, who is whose lover, etc. Actually, everyone knows the truth."

Hu Jiangshan couldn't help but joke, "That entertainment circle is really messy."

Dilraba said, "I found it quite strange before that Chen Yifei would get so close to a man from Hong Kong. After talking with you, I roughly understand."

"What do you understand?" Hu Jiangshan asked curiously.

"I think you might be Chen Yifei's type. You are indeed quite handsome," Dilraba said slyly.

"Your circle is lacking in handsome men? What kind of handsome men don't you have?"

"No, that's not true. People like you, who are handsome with a touch of cultured savvy, are indeed rare."

Dilraba's words sounded strange and not very sophisticated.

Hu Jiangshan said, "I'll take it as a compliment from you. But Chen Yifei and I are just ordinary friends. There's nothing like what you're imagining, like lovers or mistresses. That's not true at all."

"I know," Dilraba said. "I didn't say you two were in that kind of relationship, but who knows how things will develop in the future?"

Hu Jiangshan glanced at the group and said, "I think you should take care of yourself first. How are you going to get out of here now?"

Dilraba said nonchalantly, "I'm not getting away. Why think so much? I'm starving. I need to eat. Nothing is more important than filling my stomach."

Just then, the waiter brought over the food that Dilraba had ordered.

Dilraba stopped hesitating, simply took off her mask, and quickly started eating with her knife, fork, and chopsticks.

Although she ate very quickly, Dilraba managed to maintain her image, which is truly remarkable.

Those who were staring at Dilraba couldn't sit still any longer and kept taking pictures of her.

Hu Jiangshan suddenly realized something and thought to himself, "This is bad. If they film him too, it will be quite a spectacle."

The title alone is exciting.

[First Chen Yifei, now Dilraba, this mysterious man has hooked up with female celebrities all over the entertainment industry!]
