Chapter 212: Spring Festival
The Spring Festival in 1985 came quietly, Xu Ziming himself spent two years in the United States, and the two years of studying abroad made him experience the taste of loneliness, and now it is rare to spend the Spring Festival in Hong Kong for the first time in the real sense.
In the past, during the Spring Festival, Xu Ziming spent the New Year alone at home, but this year he took Lin Qingxia to his second uncle's house to celebrate the New Year.
He and Lin Qingxia are now living together openly, but the two have always maintained the last trace of defense and have not broken through.
Lin Qingxia was wearing a bright red tweed trench coat, and her jet-black lustrous hair looked festive and hearty.
Although not long ago, the scandal between Xu Ziming and Lin Qingxia was boiling, but it did not cause discomfort and disgust among Xu Ziming's elders, after all, many media in Hong Kong do not think that Lin Qingxia is a wealthy family, but instead think that Xu Ziming is too lucky to be able to catch up with the first beauty in East Asia.
After getting out of the car, Lin Qingxia kept a string in her mind, following Xu Ziming closely.
In the past, in front of the media, she could talk eloquently, but Lin Qingxia, who was unrestrained, is now more of a little girl's shyness, and her cowardly performance made Xu Ziming secretly stammer. It may be the first time to pay a New Year's greeting, she is very nervous thinking about what will happen next, and at the same time worried that Xu Ziming's second and third uncles are not particularly prejudiced.
"Mr. Xu..."When she saw Xu Shifen herself, Lin Qingxia felt an indescribable nervousness, and this feeling was the same as a daughter-in-law who had not passed through the door.
The majesty on Xu Shifen's body is very strong and eye-catching, Lin Qingxia thinks so in her heart.
"What else is your name Mr. Xu, follow me to call the second uncle. Xu Ziming quipped.
"Also, after all, you are with Ziming, and when you come to the house for the New Year, you have to be kind and casual, and you don't need to be called by Mr. and Miss. There is no need to be restrained in front of me, when people are old, they all want to see their younger generations start a family. Xu Shifen also followed Xu Ziming's words directly, and his tone was very easy.
He has no intention of thinking about many things, not to mention that Xu Ziming has completed his studies in the United States, and his development in Hong Kong has also improved slightly.
In the past, Xu Ziming was still young, but now after the Spring Festival, Xu Ziming is also twenty-five years old. In fact, at this time in Hong Kong, there are very few people who are not married at the age of twenty-five, and Xu Shifen is not good at interfering in the management of Xu Ziming's marriage or something, after all, he is not Xu Ziming's father, and he can't manage it for a lifetime.
Xu Ziming just greeted his second uncle, and Xu Shixun also brought his wife and Xu Jinheng in.
Xu Jinheng helped his glasses, and saw Xu Ziming holding Lin Qingxia, who is known as the first beauty in Southeast Asia, beside him, he had also read the newspapers and magazines, and knew that Xu Ziming was chasing Lin Qingxia, but when he saw it in person, he was still shocked in his heart, and shouted at Xu Ziming and Lin Qingxia at the moment: "Cousin, Lin... , Happy New Year, sister-in-law. ”
Xu Ziming was happy when he heard it, Xu Jinheng looked quite honest, but he didn't expect to be quite good at sycophancy, so he called his sister-in-law directly when he met for the first time.
"This is my cousin Xu Jinheng, who now works at China State Construction Enterprise," Xu Ziming said.
Xu Ziming is a self-reliant entrepreneur, Xu Jinheng is much worse, and he is still studying in the family industry.
"Happy New Year, Aheng. Although Lin Qingxia has just arrived in a wealthy family and has met Xu Ziming, who has never met before, she is indeed a lot of cramped and uneasy, but Xu Ziming's jokes appropriately reduced her worries.
Xu Shixun and his wife Jian Jianxun also came from outside the door at this time, and saw Lin Qingxia beside Xu Ziming beautiful and dignified, more beautiful than the people on TV, Xu Shixun smiled: "Miss Lin looks much better than on TV, or Ziming, you kid is very discerning." ”
Xu Ziming smiled and introduced to Lin Qingxia, who was a little shy on the side: "Qingxia, this is my third uncle and third aunt." ”
Jian Jianxun looked at Lin Qingxia curiously, and asked politely, "You are Qingxia." ”
"Yes. Lin Qingxia promised.
Jian Jianxun praised: "It's more beautiful than in the movie." ”
Lin Qingxia replied with a very eye-catching look: "You look very good. ”
Jian Jianxun grinned after listening to the compliment.
After greeting a few people, Xu Ziming's third aunt Jian Jianxun pulled Lin Qingxia to sit on the sofa and talk about the things of the woman's house. Xu Ziming and his two uncles sat around in the living room and chatted. Xu Jinheng, a playboy, couldn't talk on either side, so he was watching TV to pass the time.
Xu Shifen sighed after drinking a cup of tea: "Today is the Spring Festival again, and time flies so fast, but my body is not as good as a year, and it is unsatisfactory." ”
Xu Shixun continued: "The second brother should pay more attention to rest, don't put too much energy on work, and when people reach the age of seventy, they should also learn to enjoy some blessings." ”
Xu Ziming peeled apples for Xu Shifen, thinking that Xu Shifen in his previous life would die of illness in eight or nine years, and he felt a little uncomfortable.
There are many things that he himself is powerless to change, and the same is true of human life and death.
Xu Shifen received a good education since childhood, the late ship king's standing as a person and things had a great influence on him, although he was born in a wealthy family, but did not have the bad habits of wealthy disciples, and maintained the Xu family's patriotism and love for the hometown, hard work, diligence and simplicity, focusing on the tradition of faithfulness.
When he was young, Xu Shifen studied very hard and had a strong desire to pursue knowledge, which was the same as Xu Ziming in his previous life.
"How is the project to build a convention and exhibition center in Hong Kong?" Xu Shifen was already a little pessimistic, and immediately turned his head to look at Xu Shixun, and added with a serious expression, "That's a big project." The amount of money invested before and after is relatively large, and we strive to do a good job in cooperation with New World, so as not to have any loopholes in the middle. ”
Xu Shixun nodded and said: "There is no need to worry too much about this project at present, but it will take too long to build in the later stage, and it will also need funds, which will affect the capital chain of the enterprise, but if nothing goes wrong, it will not be a big problem." ”
Xu Ziming didn't answer, because he knew that the return of building the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Center was after many years, and now it is just hard work. What's more, the Xu family in the 80s was only one of the four major families in Hong Kong in the past, and the total assets of the current Xu Zhongjian enterprise are worth 10 billion Hong Kong dollars.
The new world of the Xu family and Zheng Yutong is now busy with the construction project, and naturally does not have too much liquidity in terms of financial resources.
When it comes to real estate matters, Xu Shifen and Xu Shixun and others can't avoid talking about Li Jiacheng, Guo Desheng and other big real estate developers, they have strong strength and wide contacts.
Recently, Li Jiacheng invested a lot of money in the construction of the Hong Kong port, and Li Jiacheng was opposed to the construction of the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Center before, and it turned out that he was busy with other things. His Cheung Kong Group is not only engaged in real estate, but also does a lot of nautical business.
Xu Shixun speculated: "Li Jiacheng has spent money on the construction of the port, and it will not be long before the shipping business will be launched." ”
Xu Shifen drank a glass of water, moistened his throat, and said firmly: "Li Chaoren has bought a lot of money and sold high in recent years, and his worth has grown very quickly, and he will soon be the next representative of the Chinese rich. ”
A group of people started to talk about Li Jiacheng's house and buying a house again, mainly around Li Jiacheng's layout in Hong Kong. However, Xu Ziming felt that the business opportunities in the inland should be better.
Xu Ziming said suddenly: "Second uncle and third uncle, Qiu Degen has begun to develop a large number of businesses in the mainland, does our Xu family industry also need to start entering the mainland." ”
Xu Shixun came back to his senses, nodded and said, "There is such a thing. ”
Xu Shifen said worriedly: "The steps are too big, and it is easy to take care of them." ”
"I know what the second uncle said," Xu Ziming said with a smile, "I plan to go to the mainland to inspect it first, and if the conditions permit, I will decide on this plan." ”
Xu Shifen thought for a moment and agreed: "Qiu Degen and many other Hong Kong businessmen are preparing to invest in Shanghai after the Spring Festival, so you can also go with them of the older generation to have a look." ”
After chatting for a while, Uncle Lu and the servant had already prepared the meal, and the family began to eat in harmony. Xu Shixun's family left first not long after eating.
Lin Qingxia accompanied Xu Ziming and Xu Shifen to chat until more than nine o'clock, and finally got up to say goodbye.
Xu Shifen said: "Just sleep at home,"
Xu Ziming took Lin Qingxia's arm and said, "Second uncle, I don't need to go back and there are still company matters to deal with, you can rest early, don't worry too much." ”
After waving goodbye to Xu Shifen through the car window, Lin Qingxia said a little sadly: "Your second uncle is so good to you, he treats you as his own son." ”
Xu Ziming said in a somewhat solemn tone: "Of course, but what about people, that is, in those short decades, they come and go in a hurry." ”
Lin Qingxia was very uncomfortable when she saw Xu Ziming's words, her head was stuck in Xu Ziming's arms, docile like a little sheep, Xu Ziming smiled and changed her tone and comforted: "It's okay, in just a few decades, there are times when he is of great significance, and there are always days of hard work." ”
She clasped Xu Ziming's hand and said, "Actually, it's good to be happy every day." ”
Speaking of this, Lin Qingxia was a little confused, her innocent eyes looked at Xu Ziming's eyes, and suddenly she was curious: "There are so many beautiful girls in Hong Kong, what do you like about my place." ”
"Little fool. Xu Ziming pinched her delicate face and smiled, but did not reply to any answer.
After arriving home, Xu Ziming specially called the film company to ask about the start of filming of "The Saint of Gambling", although it is still the holiday season, but in order to speed up the filming progress, the same is true in Zaizai.
Xu Ziming is most worried about Zhou Xingchi, who is afraid that after he goes to the mainland, there will be some problems with filming.
And Lin Qingxia also called back her family in Taiwan and said some happy words. After Lin Qingxia finished chattering, Xu Ziming was still on the phone,
When Xu Ziming hung up the phone, Lin Qingxia had already hugged him from behind, and two soft balls were squeezed on Xu Ziming's back.
Xu Ziming screamed, turned around and picked up Lin Qingxia, and the two threw themselves on the soft big bed together.
Lin Qingxia was pressed by her sweetheart and kissed, seeing Xu Ziming so infatuated with herself, she was relieved and happy.
When Xu Ziming was about to fade away from her hiding place, she still decided to stop Xu Ziming's movements, and then said in a panic: "Ziming, can you give me some time to prepare?"
Although she had long felt that she was Xu Ziming's woman, Lin Qingxia still didn't want to be so early, and said with a red face and a voice as thin as a mosquito: "Okay?"
Xu Ziming quickly stopped his movements, regained his senses, and said happily: I have been waiting for your words for a long time, and you can do it whenever you want. ”
