Chapter 16: A Chance Encounter
Fan Liancheng did not like life after being sent to England.
Changing from home to dormitory, and having to face changes in social atmosphere, food, and language, was by no means an easy task for the 11-year-old child.
However, he also admits that living in London for so many years has indeed broadened his horizons, and through the school as a platform, he has met "inheritors" from all over the world.
For example, the Thai Chinese girl whose Chinese name is Qiu Minmin, whose father is worth more than 500 million pounds.
For example, Rothmeer, who invited Fan Liancheng to the party yesterday, his father not only holds the title of viscount, but is also a media mogul worth hundreds of millions of pounds.
These two are just representative figures, and there are more affluent ones, such as the Indian student who was once not very popular, he is the second richest man in India, but there are more brothers and sisters, and he has not been able to share too good resources, and after being sent to the UK, the family rarely cares, and he buries himself in playing games all day long.
In addition, you can also get in touch with the children of celebrities, high-ranking officials and aristocrats, top doctors, and the descendants of lawyers.
Many of my classmates and family members worked in the House of Lords, the so-called "House of Lords", including royal descendants, hereditary nobles, life nobles, judges of the Court of Appeal, and archbishops and bishops of the church.
At their age like Fan Liancheng, they can't make many outstanding achievements for the time being, so the only things that can be compared are their parents and relatives, as well as their family heritage, etc., in addition to whether they are valued by the family, whether there are many brothers and sisters, and so on.
At this moment.
Dressed in a Givenchy suit, he stood in the crowd with a glass of champagne in his hand and the sound of laughter in his ears.
is still a familiar atmosphere in my memory, and I have also seen many old acquaintances who met when I was young, and the past is vivid, which can make Fan Liancheng feel familiar.
When the two looked at each other, Fan Liancheng raised his glass and smiled, followed Zhao Sturgeon and Li Xiao to the side of several classmates who came to Harrow School to study.
"Wow, whoa, look who this is! Long time no see, Dylan, I thought you were back in your homeland!"
A dark-skinned Latino girl gave him a warm hug and continued: "You shouldn't have shut me down already, why can't you see your Facebook updates?"
Another bloated young man with blond hair also said: "Yes, I don't seem to have seen it, it's really been a long time, last time I went to your motherland, I saw the building built by your company, in the most famous business district over there, and I also went to the mall, I wanted to contact you at that time to see if I could meet, but unfortunately there was no contact information for you." ”
The two of them are named Ana and Brian.
The former's family was in the timber business in Brazil, and if memory serves, the latter was supposed to be a landowner in Scotland, who had made Brian's family rich for nearly two hundred years by collecting rents and farming.
It's all "expired" memories, Fan Liancheng doesn't know if it's still like this, anyway, he doesn't care much about what other people's homes are doing, at this time he is just happy to see his old classmates, and replied: "I've been in London, and I've been very busy since I went to Imperial College London, and I have to work part-time in addition to studying, and I rarely use Facebook." ”
"I also worked, my father put me in charge of a small company, mainly selling wool and potatoes, maybe you can still eat my potatoes in KFC, today there is a reason to be lazy, I came to London early in the morning, or the nightlife in the city is more abundant. Brian said in a tired tone.
Another thin young man named Joel also said: "You're okay, I dropped out of school and went to work as a waiter on a cruise ship, and I just went to Philadelphia some time ago, and I almost vomited bile because of seasickness." ”
They are all waiters, but the cruise ship where Joel works belongs to the cruise company managed by his father, and he is also a rich second generation who has been thrown out of the door to exercise.
The circle is like this, their life is like this, even Fan Liancheng doesn't feel that they are showing off anything, driving a luxury car, staying in a high-end hotel, traveling on a private yacht, private jet, these are a very normal part of their lives, and they are showing off in the eyes of ordinary people.
As soon as Rothmere arrived, he smiled and said, "I am in the same college as Dylan, and we both go to business school, and he has really had no desires lately, and he can't even see him at the party held by his college classmates." ”
"Haha! I don't like to go to parties anymore, unless I hear in advance that there will be beautiful girls, or I'm just wasting my time......"
Talking to each other.
After the appearance of the host Harry in military uniform, there were many more people around him, and his brother William was also tonight.
When it comes to reincarnation skills, these two belong to the best of the crowd present, and they are likely to enter Buckingham Palace in the future.
After the new non-commissioned officer knocked on the wine glass and briefly thanked everyone for coming, the cello continued to sound, and after Rosmeer found the brothers, he took a group photo with his old classmates, Fan Liancheng and Zhao Sturgeon, Li Xiao were also among them, but they didn't have a chance to talk, after all, they didn't know each other before, and the last time they had close contact with Harry was when they held an exchange meeting with Eton College in middle school.
Fan Liancheng was suddenly hugged by the shoulder, and turned his head sideways to find that it was a very familiar young man named James Rothschild.
James smiled and said: "The big landlord from the East, I haven't seen you for a long time, how are you doing lately?"
"Pretty good, how about you?"
"It's okay, I'm going crazy with the professor's homework. ”
Zhao Sturgeon can often see the prodigal son of the Rothschild family in nightclubs, and he greets him without strangers: "It's rare to have a class reunion, and when it's over here, we will go to the bar together, and I want to drink Lafite." ”
Talking about Lafite in front of James is purely a flirtation, after all, the top winery belongs to him.
James happily said, "Okay, I just have a few bottles in the car, and the party is just what I want, but it's better to drink whiskey." ”
They were chatting, and other acquaintances formed a small circle, and tonight's guests were mainly young people, and the atmosphere was very good.
The young girl named Qiu Minmin, who had been in a state of uneasiness since she saw Fan Liancheng again, hesitated again and again, and finally waited until Fan Liancheng was alone, stopped him on the way to the bathroom, and asked with a smile on her face: "Do you still know me?"
As soon as I arrived, I heard Zhao Sturgeon talk about it with a big mouth, of course Fan Liancheng knew who she was, and his tone was slightly embarrassed: "I haven't seen you for many years, I didn't expect to meet here, the change is so big that I almost didn't recognize it." ”
"You've changed a lot, I've been back in Thailand, and if I hadn't just come over for a vacation, I wouldn't have seen you tonight. ”
Coincidentally.
At this time, Fan Liancheng's "boss", Miss D'Addario, happened to be frowning and walking towards the bathroom.
In order not to miss tonight's party, don't sit in a wheelchair and even knock off the plaster on your legs, and choose a pair of comfortable flat shoes.
I thought I could hold on and walk less, but I still underestimated the injury in the ankle area, and was about to go to the bathroom to take off my shoes to take a look, so as not to aggravate the injury.
Accidentally found Fan Liancheng, Daddario's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said: "Dylan, hold me up, I'm about to fall! You are really shrewd, you actually came here to work at night, I thought you would rush to the paper or something." ”
Fan Liancheng was stunned for a moment, looked down at himself, black suit and black bow tie, isn't it like those waiters, crying and laughing at this.
And the girl surnamed Qiu was at a loss for what she said, thinking about what kind of part-time job, could it be Fan Liancheng's female companion or something......
