Chapter 15: Old Acquaintances
It's not yet dark.
The three of them went upstairs to get the car keys, calculated the time, and took a short rest in the living room before coming to the garage and sitting in the open-top Continental that had just been maintained some time ago.
After starting, he looked at the fuel gauge, which was almost full, and Zhao Sturgeon smiled: "I bought a car for so long, and the mileage is only in the triple digits?" Although it is not a supercar like Ferrari, the sound of the Continental GT is also very good, not so harsh, and it seems to be full of power. ”
"My dad's Bentley was a bit more elegant, but I still liked it. Li Xiao, who was sitting in the back row, said.
Fan Liancheng can't get his driving skills, and he doesn't know much about these means of transportation, and he has been accustomed to all kinds of good cars since he was a child, and he has long developed immunity. Take his two friends as an example, at the moment it is just a review, anyone can easily afford it, so naturally there is no fuss.
Put away the soft-top carport and set off for Kensington Palace, as the private property of the British royal family, the princess named Diana lived in that palace with her husband and sons, whether in the United Kingdom, Europe and the United States, it is extremely well-known.
Britain is a constitutional monarchy, and a prince who is a serious prince throws social parties and is allowed to bring friends, which of course attracts a lot of attention.
As the continental convertible approached Kensington Palace, you could see that the roadside was full of all kinds of luxury cars, most of them were supercars, some of them were foreign license plates, and there were many luxury cars such as Rolls-Royce and Bentley.
When Fan Liancheng got out of the car, he tidied up his bow tie a little, and he was uncomfortable with the buttons of his shirt.
They wore white shirts with black formal clothes and hand towels tucked into their breast pockets, and they were taught how to choose clothes and how to behave as early as middle school.
Zhao Sturgeon looked up and down, and teased: "If I were a girl, I would be fascinated by you now, it's rare to see you so formal, you should usually be like this, participate in more parties, rely on clothes to get out of the momentum, the British like this, otherwise how would people know that your old man has billions?"
Li Xiao looks good, but it's just good, and it can make people feel Sven when they look at it.
However, it was such a guy who looked like Sven, but at this moment he said: "Liancheng, I want to be as handsome as you, and the success rate of pickling girls will at least double, and I usually don't see you harm anyone, so I'm really blind with such a good foundation." You didn't go to the first few alumni reunions, and some girls specifically named you to go, and they may still be thinking about you, so you can catch up tonight. ”
Fan Liancheng always felt that these two were making fun of himself, and replied: "My father's money is his money, and I didn't earn it myself, there is nothing to show off, going to a party is nothing more than drinking and chatting, I have been going to my classmates' birthday parties since I was twelve or thirteen years old, and I will feel annoyed if I go too much, most parties are very boring." ”
"That's true, unless I've heard that there are a lot of girls, otherwise I'm too lazy to go now. Tonight was different, the party was so high that it was said that a princess from Sweden accepted the invitation. Zhao Sturgeon said as he walked, waving to others from time to time, nothing more than fox friends he met in nightclubs and parties, because of his cheerful personality and always familiarity, his social circle is far wider than Fan Liancheng.
At this moment, I just passed through the security gate and checked the invitation.
A young white man approached Fan Liancheng and asked curiously: "Dylan Fan, right, the low-key Asian tycoon at Harrow? I remember you, I have a very good memory, we talked about the Chelsea team a few years ago, remember?"
“...... Remember, you said your father was one of the shareholders of Chelsea Football Club, and you were John Robben, right? ”
"That's right, the stake in the team has been sold, and now my dad is busy investing in Nokia and doesn't pay attention to the team at all, so ...... Long time no see, Dylan, what are you doing now?"
In these years, Nokia is in full swing, and even the old manufacturer Motorola can't do it, and it is no wonder that a young man named John Robben deliberately mentioned that it was all used to maintain his status and maintain social bargaining chips.
Students in ordinary schools will compare who has better grades and who is more popular with teachers during middle school, but when Fan Liancheng was in middle school, his friends were often comparing who had a bigger company, whose parents were higher on the rich list, and whose family members were higher.
On weekdays, they are often called by their classmates to go to private estates, superyachts, or someone's hotel to party, and if someone suddenly goes bankrupt or loses power, they will soon become outsiders and become the joke in the mouths of other students.
Don't think that you don't understand these things at a young age, Fan Liancheng also came from that age, and he knows very well how perverted their growth environment is, and the competition seems to have started from the mother's womb.
Fan Liancheng smiled and said to the alumnus, who had no impression: "I am still studying at Imperial College London's business school, and these two are my friends, Jamie Zhao and Marco Lee. ”
They shook hands, greeted each other, followed the crowd in twos and threes, walked together in the middle of the garden, and could already see the red palace with many windows.
As mentioned earlier, the small circle belonging to the rich is not large.
Although Fan Liancheng hadn't appeared on similar occasions for a long time, he still met some old acquaintances one after another, who recognized them and approached to say hello.
There are more people who know Zhao Sturgeon, he and Li Xiao go to high-end nightclubs every once in a while, and over time they can always meet a lot of friends, especially at various private parties, today you hold one, tomorrow I hold one, as long as the skin is thick enough, there are endless activities almost every day.
As soon as he entered the spacious hall, Zhao Sturgeon took a glass of champagne, handed it to Fan Liancheng, and pointed not far away with a wicked smile, and said, "Look over there, do you recognize who it is?"
Fan Liancheng looked over, and when he saw the young girl in a white evening dress, his head was big for a while, and he shook his head decisively and said, "It's better to say goodbye, I have nothing in common with Qiu Minmin, and it's best to pretend not to see it." ”
"I admit that her Thai English sounds awkward, but she is one of the largest builders and real estate developers in Thailand, and it seems that she recently bought an island to develop tourism, and I heard another Thai girl talk about it. ”
“...... Do you know all of this?"
Fan Liancheng sighed, he was white and handsome when he was a child, and there was never a shortage of admirers around him, especially Asian girls.
Looking back now, it seems like a long, long time ago, since I entered college and kept a low profile, I didn't have that kind of treatment like receiving love letters.
Zhao Sturgeon nodded affirmatively, and replied shamelessly: "Of course, I know everything about beautiful women, and I can always hear all kinds of gossip from old acquaintances at the party." It's like John Robben, who was with us just now, don't listen to his bragging, it seems that the family business went wrong and he sold his stake in Chelsea Football Club and was taken over by another friend's stepfather. I have a ticket to go to the game at any time, and I have a good relationship with that guy......
