From Mosico to Billy to Italy, I've seen a lot of beautiful scenery along the way.

But the most sound in all respects is Bali.

It has almost all the advantages and disadvantages of other cities, and it dilates in the pupils of countless people at the same time, pushing the good and the bad to the extreme.

Bounded by the Seine, the left bank is a more literary and artistic place, with many theaters, bookstores and museums, while the right bank is separated by water, where major banks, stock exchanges, Michelin-starred restaurants and high-end department stores such as the Arc de Triomphe and the Champs-Élysées are on the right bank.

Of course, the right bank also has a nickname that resounded all over the world - Huadu.

It was a playground for adventurers and a gathering place for bankers.

At the first stop of Lin Huo and the others in Bali, Huo Jinwei did not take Lin Dingqiang to experience the drunken scenery on the right bank, but uncharacteristically came to the De Florent café on the left bank.

The café is at the fork of a very lively street, and at first glance, except for the more characteristic glass shed, if you don't know its name, you will probably think that it is just one of the thousands of open-air coffee houses in Europe.

White tables, basket-coloured coffee cups, sunshades fluttering in the wind, busy waiters and, of course, a laid-back organ, are the hallmarks of a Gallic café.

The seats in the glass shed are the most sought-after because you can see the blue sky and the bustling street scene when you look up.

With a cup of coffee in your hand, you can understand when this radiant sense of leisure began to spread throughout Bali.

Huo Jinwei pushed open the glass door, turned around with a smile and said, "Ding Qiang, the coffee here is very famous. ”

The store is full of people, a complex aroma of coffee lingers in the small storefront, most people are reading newspapers alone, drinking coffee on their mobile phones, and a few people are talking softly, although there are many people, but they don't feel noisy.

Huo Jinwei ordered two cups of distinctive green coffee for herself and Lin Dingqiang, and then went up the second floor along the small staircase at the turn on the left, and some yellowed paintings were pasted on the walls of the stairs, telling the long history of this coffee shop.

On the second floor, the area is much smaller than that downstairs, roughly estimated to be about twenty or thirty square meters, and there are already more than a dozen guests seated.

The two chose the side by the window and sat down, Huo Jinwei held her chin and looked at Lin Dingqiang, without even blinking her eyelids.

"Why are you looking at me like this?" said Lin Dingqiang with a smile.

Huo Jinwei's eyes narrowed into a line, "It doesn't cost anything to see?"

"Am I so handsome?"

"Don't be stinky and beautiful here," Huo Jinwei glanced at Lin Dingqiang, "If you really look at your face, which round will get you!"

"Hey, do you mean I'm so sorry for the audience?" Lin Dingqiang laughed at himself.

Huo Jinwei smiled lightly: "You can be worthy of me." ”

The coffee was quickly served, and when I got closer, I could smell a faint burnt smell, which should have been roasted to this extent.

After taking a sip, Lin Dingqiang asked, "By the way, what about the surprise you prepared?"

Huo Jinwei smiled and said, "Isn't it time yet?"

After speaking, Huo Jinwei noticed the Jaeger-LeCoultre clown on Lin Dingqiang's wrist, and pretended to be casual and asked, "What about the owl I gave you? I saw you bring it once on Hong Kong Island, don't you like it?"

Lin Dingqiang looked at the watch in his hand and replied, "Look at the time, everything you wear is the same." ”

"It's different!" Huo Jinwei frowned, "If you don't like it, I'll give you another one later." ”

"Not really. ”

Before Lin Dingqiang could finish speaking, a familiar figure appeared in front of the two.

"Lin Dong, Miss Huo?" Zhou Yinhui led a little boy about ten years old and stood in front of the table, "Why are you two here!"

Facing the sudden appearance of Zhou Yinhui, it was temporarily alleviated Lin Dingqiang's embarrassing situation, "Dong Zhou, what a coincidence!"

"What a coincidence! I brought my son for the weekend. Zhou Yinhui patted the top of the little boy's head, "I didn't expect to meet acquaintances! Qi Gong, called Uncle Qiang and Aunt Wei." ”

Zhou Qigong wore a pair of glasses, and he looked smart, and he cheerfully said: "Uncle Qiang is good, Sister Wei is good." ”

Huo Jinwei was immediately amused, "The little friend is very sensible! Come, you two sit here, and I will sit next to Ding Qiang." ”

The four of them sat down, and Lin Dingqiang smiled: "Why do you call me uncle and sister?"

"Sister Wei is so young and beautiful!" Zhou Qigong said with a grin: "It's not appropriate to call your aunt!"

"You kid, you don't have any rules!" Zhou Yinhui scolded: "Miss Huo, don't be surprised! He has been spoiled by me since he was a child." ”

"It's okay, it's okay. Huo Jinwei said happily: "Tong Yan is unscrupulous. ”

Zhou Yinhui's coffee was also delivered, and he continued: "Lin Dong, there is something I still want to discuss with you. ”

You say. ”

"The project in the suburbs of Beijing is ready to start, you have to set a start time, and our company's personnel and equipment can also enter the site. Zhou Yinhui proposed.

Lin Dingqiang nodded, "This has to be calculated by finding someone to calculate, after all, it is Rongshan's first project in the capital in the true sense." ”

Huo Jinwei thought for a while, "This is easy to do! I know a master on Hong Kong Island, who is very famous." When the time comes, I will ask him to come and have a look at the site and calculate the place and time of the construction. ”

Zhou Yinhui smiled: "That's just right." This kind of thing is still done by reliable people. ”

Lin Dingqiang had no objection, and Zhou Yinhui continued: "By the way, Lin Dong, I have a small proposal. ”

You say. ”

"Although Rongshan Real Estate already has two projects, Jincheng Financial Center and Beijing Rongshan Building, these two projects do not start from the foundation after all. Zhou Yinhui said slowly: "In the final analysis, Rongshan Real Estate still does not have a complete development experience. ”

In the face of Zhou Yinhui's straightforward words, Lin Dingqiang also understood the truth, "So I attach great importance to this project." ”

"According to our development experience, the first thing to solve is the problem of capital flow. Zhou Yinhui looked at Lin Dingqiang's face, and then said: "I know that Rongshan is not bad for money, but you can't take all the money for repairing the house, and you still need a loan." ”

This point came to Lin Dingqiang's heart, and he also discussed this matter with Huo Jinwei, but he did not reach a conclusion at that time.

"Sinobo has always had several cooperative banks, and the loan was disbursed quickly. Zhou Yinhui continued: "If necessary, I can introduce you to you." ”

Huo Jinwei said calmly: "Dong Zhou, the funds required for this development will be borne by the Huo Foundation. I have already discussed this with Ding Qiang. Right? Ding Qiang. ”

Lin Dingqiang was stunned, he knew that this was Huo Jinwei's kindness, if the fund was allocated by Huo's family this time, not only would there be less trouble for approval, but the speed of lending would probably be faster than what Zhou Yinhui said, that is, the speed of light.

Huo Jinwei kicked Lin Dingqiang's foot under the table and asked again, "En, Ding Qiang?"

Lin Dingqiang smiled: "Yes, I have a good talk with Jinwei." In the matter of money, Mr. Zhou can rest assured that he will pay according to the contract. ”

This is Zhou Yinhui stunned, he has already heard the rumors of Xin Qing and Lin Dingqiang's breakup, and he didn't see Xin Qing's shadow when he cut the ribbon at Rongshan Building in Beijing, and it was Huo Jinwei in front of him who accompanied Lin Dingqiang.

"Huo and Rongshan married. After Zhou Yinhui finished speaking, he felt that the word marriage was a little inappropriate now, so he changed his words and said: "Cooperation, it must be the best partner." ”

Dong Chou praised it. ”

Zhou Yinhui took a big sip of coffee, and then asked, "Lin Dong, have you seen Luo Hong's design drawing?"

Lin Dingqiang shook his head, "It's not too late, what's wrong?"

"Luo Hong is an artist!" Zhou Yinhui exclaimed: "The last time I went to his art gallery, I saw the sketch of the main teaching building, which is all wooden and tenon-structured, which is very Beijing-like. ”

Lin Dingqiang was also curious, "It's all wood?"

"That's right!" Zhou Yinhui nodded again and again, "You have to find a good timber merchant." ”

Lin Dingqiang thought for a while and replied, "This is not difficult. When we were in Xiongguo, we met people from the local Chinese Chamber of Commerce, and there was a timber merchant named Wang Diqing who was relatively powerful. When the time comes, let him send some samples over, and then find a few suppliers to compare and compare, and then you can order. ”

Zhou Yinhui's eyes widened, "You two are from the Bear Country in Gaul?"

Huo Jinwei smiled: "Yes, we have walked all the way." I'm going to leave Bali tomorrow and go to Norway to have a look. ”

"Son, look. Zhou Yinhui patted Zhou Qigong's shoulder and said: "You have to study hard, learn from your Uncle Qiang and Aunt Wei, and if you have the ability, you can play in a whole circle!"

Zhou Qigong shrugged his shoulders, "I know! I can't be like you, I always bring an iFLYTEK translator wherever I go." Sister Wei, let me tell you, when we were transiting, my dad took the translator and flipped it at the airport!"

"Hey, you boy!"

Huo Jinwei laughed, "Tong Yan is unscrupulous, Tong Yan is unscrupulous." ”

Zhou Yinhui coughed lightly twice, "This time, I have one more thing." In addition to taking this rabbit cub, I also have to go around the auction house. ”

"Anything good?" Huo Jinwei asked.

"There are two copies of the Yongle Dictionary copied again during the Jiajing period, which will be auctioned here. Zhou Yinhui whispered: "I have been aiming at these two Yongle classics for a long time. ”

Lin Dingqiang has never been interested in antiques, and the only snuff bottle he has has also been sold to Shan Mingxiang, "Dong Chou still likes to collect?"

"I don't have any hobbies, I just like to tinker with these things. Zhou Yinhui said humbly: "There are no feelings, it should all be an investment!"

Huo Jinwei looked up the auction Zhou Yinhui said on her mobile phone, and asked after about ten seconds: "Is it the one in the 12th auction hall at 9 o'clock in the morning?"

Zhou Yinhui was stunned, "Miss Huo also received the news?"

Huo Jinwei turned her phone around, showed the auction preview published on the Drouot website to the two, and said with a smile: "This auction house has always been known in the industry for its unique guarantee and transparent and safe transactions. Anyone can watch and bid on the auction. ”

"Wouldn't there be a lot of people robbing me?" Zhou Yinhui was also going to Drouot for the first time, he thought that a treasure like the Yongle Grand Ceremony would be auctioned relatively secretly, but he didn't expect it to be in such a way.

"That's not for sure. Huo Jinwei smiled: "But I look at tomorrow's introduction, there is another treasure, Ding Qiang, you should be interested." ”

Lin Dingqiang turned his head, "What?"

"A musket used by Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty. Huo Jinwei introduced: "Do you want to go and have a look?"

"Can this firebolt still make fire?" Lin Dingqiang quipped, in fact, his interest was ignited at once, after all, men like guns and the like.

Huo Jinwei laughed and said jokingly: "Why don't you buy it and try it?"

"Aren't you going to Norway?" Zhou Yinhui said curiously.

Huo Jinwei explained: "Don't rush, play slowly." Anyway, the auction is in the morning, so we'll be able to go back when it's over. ”

"Then I have to get a companion!" Zhou Yinhui said humbly: "If someone bids with me at that time, you two can support it." ”

"Zhongbo's strength is here!" Lin Dingqiang knew that this was Zhou Yinhui's joke, and said with a smile: "If someone grabs the fire gun with me, Dong Chou, you have to support me!"

Zhou Yinhui waved his hand, "Eh, with Miss Huo here, it's not my turn!"

The three of them laughed, and Zhou Qigong on the side felt that the conversation between the adults was very boring, "Dad, have you finished drinking?" I want to go out and have fun. ”

Zhou Yinhui was very fond of this old baby, and after taking a sip of coffee, he said: "Then Lin Dong and Miss Huo, my father and I will go first." See you at the auction tomorrow!"

The two stood up, "Okay, see you tomorrow." ”

"By the way, why don't we have dinner together in the evening?" Zhou Yinhui proposed: "We live on the Bali Peninsula." ”

Huo Jinwei declined the invitation, "Thank you, but we still have to go to some places in the evening." Let's do it another day, there will be more opportunities for contact in the future. ”

"Then I won't bother you two. Zhou Yinhui said to Zhou Qigong: "Say goodbye!"

"Goodbye Uncle Qiang! Goodbye Sister Wei!" Zhou Qigong hurriedly shook his hand, "See you tomorrow!"

After Zhou Yinhui's father and son left, the two returned to their seats, and this time Huo Jinwei did not change positions, but still sat next to Lin Dingqiang.

"Ding Qiang, let's go to the auction house tomorrow and we'll leave. Huo Jinwei looked at the list of things to be auctioned tomorrow and the introduction, and said, "I'll go shopping first, and then eat." ”

"Good. Lin Dingqiang took a sip of coffee, and inadvertently saw Huo Jinwei's gaze stay on a dressing table that was about to be auctioned off several times, and asked, "Like it?"

"It's kind of nice to look at. Huo Jinwei turned off the screen and said with a smile: "But I don't want to buy it." ”

"Why?" Lin Dingqiang wondered.

"Because I'm going to buy you a firecracker!" Huo Jinwei replied, "I know you like guns." Since it is something you like, you will definitely cherish it. I won't put it aside and eat the ashes. ”

Lin Dingqiang smiled: "Then I can't walk on the street with a fire gun on my back!"

"It's okay to take it out and wipe it. Huo Jinwei took a big sip of coffee, and then looked at the clown on Lin Dingqiang's wrist, "No, let's go buy the watch first." This time it's up to you. ”

"Don't waste this money. ”

"Ding Qiang, can you fulfill my little wish?" Huo Jinwei said sincerely: "Before going to the United States, you put away this clown and wear the one I bought." When you get there, you can wear whatever you want. ”

Lin Dingqiang frowned, "Why?"

"Because she's not with you, and I'm here. Huo Jinwei stirred the coffee that didn't have much left, and lowered her head and said.
