298 Birthday Party(3)
Stanley Ho took He Chaoqiong to Bao Zhaolong's side and said with a smile: "Old man Bao, congratulations on your 86th birthday!"
"Thank you, thank you, He Sheng is still so young now!" Bao Zhaolong sat on the chair and said with a smile.
Stanley Ho shook his head and said, "How young are you, you are already in your 60s." ”
Bao Zhaolong laughed and said, "Much younger than an old man like me!"
Stanley Ho waved his hand, and He Chaoqiong walked over and said, "Hello Grandpa Bao, I wish you a happy birthday." ”
"This is my daughter He Chaoqiong. Stanley Ho introduced with a smile.
Bao Zhaolong laughed and said, "There are too many of your daughters, I can't even remember them." ”
Stanley Ho smiled embarrassedly, but his heart sank instantly, the He family is actually the same as the Bao family, both are yin and yang, needless to say, the Bao family has only four daughters, this is actually Bao Yugang's heart disease, don't look at him usually doesn't care, but the Chinese in this era don't want their sons to inherit the lineage, not to mention, the Bao family is already rich, but there is no heir of its own.
Although the eldest son-in-law, Su Haiwen, changed his surname to Bao for this reason, for the wealthy family, this change is meaningless, and in the Chinese tradition, the son who is related by blood is the key to the family inheritance.
And he himself is not much better, 2 wives have a total of 9 children, including 7 daughters and 2 sons, the eldest son He Xianguang was originally the best heir, but unfortunately died unexpectedly, and the younger son is now only 5 years old, which is why he is fully committed to cultivating He Chaoqiong.
Subsequently, many wealthy people in Xiangjiang took their descendants to celebrate Bao Zhaolong's birthday, and Xu Zhi also went over to congratulate him.
On the stage, a column of different programs is being performed one by one, and it is not that any celebrities are invited to sing here, but some pianists, bands, dance teams are invited to perform programs, and there is even a Peking Opera, which may also be because of Mr. Bao's hobby.
"Xu Sheng, can you excuse me. The person who came was Stanley Ho, but He Chaoqiong was not by his side.
Xu Zhi smiled: "He Sheng is polite. ”
Stanley Ho said: "Chaoqiong was a little naughty just now, and I asked Xu Sheng to buy a few bottles of red wine for her, I'm really sorry." ”
"It's just a few bottles of wine, you don't have to be polite. Xu Zhi said with a smile.
Stanley Ho said again: "Xu Sheng, there is one thing I want to ask you for?"
Xu Zhi asked, "What's the matter?"
Stanley Ho said: "Chaoqiong is my favorite daughter, and I also want to train her to become a talent, but she is too playful, many times even I can't control her, she has always liked literature and art since she was a child, and recently she went to TVB to sign up for a TV show without telling me, I just want to trouble Xu Sheng, hoping to make her retreat." ”
"TV show?" Xu Zhi recalled that in later life, he had seen information about He Chaoqiong, she was the eldest daughter of Lan Qiongying, the second wife of the gambling king, and was valued by the gambling king since she was a child, and has always been given the "eldest sister" of the second generation of the family.
When she was a teenager, Pansy Ho not only had excellent academic performance, but also began to experience in school, serving as the backbone of the choir, debate team, and drama club, and was later admitted to the world's top liberal arts college, Vassar College.
However, He Chaoqiong's literary dream was directly rejected by the gambling king, and she was arranged to study international business management in the market.
But after graduating from school, He Chaoqiong, who has a literary dream, still secretly went to TVB and participated in a TV series "Breakthrough".
In Xiangjiang, many rich people of the first generation look down on people in the entertainment industry, but many of the rich second generation like to run in and join in the fun and participate in TV and movies, but except for a few real literary and artistic youths, the others actually have other purposes.
He Chaoqiong really likes literature and art, if he just filmed a TV series, this would naturally not be a problem, but the key is that during the filming, He Chaoqiong met singer Chen Baiqiang.
In the 80s, Chen Baiqiang's fame was no less than that of Leslie Cheung, and his talent in music was extremely high, and as a cultivated star, it was needless to say that his appearance was naturally needless to say, and He Chaoqiong quickly developed feelings with him.
But in Xiangjiang, it is difficult for some female stars to marry into wealthy families, some wealthy families just regard them as fertility machines, and a star in later generations gave birth to 3 sons for a certain family, but there is still no way to get official recognition.
Not to mention that a male star wants to marry the pearl of the gambling king!
He Chaoqiong was strong all his life, but he did not dare to disobey his father, and finally married another Xiangjiang wealthy Xu Jinhum in 91, Chen Baiqiang was sad and was admitted to the hospital in a coma with wine and sleeping pills.
17 months later, Chen Baiqiang finally died, and He Chaoqiong ignored the pressure of the He and Xu families and insisted on "helping the soul" for him.
And Xu Jinhum has always been obsessed with many female stars in the Xiangjiang entertainment circle, and finally He Chaoqiong divorced her, and since then she has been alone for a lifetime, and has been obsessed with her career, becoming a well-known business woman in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan.
This is actually the tragedy of a wealthy woman and an ordinary man falling in love, He Chaoqiong in the 80s, and the three-star princess in the 00s, all of them, paid the price of their lives for this kind of love.
"I will inform the senior management of TVB and ask them to reject Miss Ho's application. Xu Zhi nodded and agreed, now that this kind of tragedy has not happened, it should be stopped, not all wealthy families are as generous as Bao Yugang, they don't care about their son-in-law's achievements, but they devote themselves to cultivating, the gambling king's character is obviously extremely domineering, and he can't tolerate any children's disobedience at all.
Seeing that Xu Zhi agreed, Stanley Ho smiled and said: "Thank you Xu Sheng, if Xu Sheng likes red wine, you can come to Aomen once, I have a lot of world-class red wine in my house." ”
"No problem! I will definitely visit if I have the chance. Xu Zhi agreed with a smile.
The banquet soon came to an end, and He Chaoqiong took the opportunity to go to the bathroom and ran over and asked, "What did my father talk to you about just now?"
Xu Zhidao: "It's nothing, it's just to give me the opportunity to go to Aomen and taste some of the red wines he used to treasure." ”
"Is it really just like this?" He Chaoqiong looked skeptical.
"yes, what else can I do, I don't have any business cooperation with your daddy. Xu Zhi explained with a smile, raised the wine bottle in his hand again, and asked, "What should I do with this bottle of red wine?"
He Chaoqiong thought for a while and smiled: "I'll give it to you, anyway, I still have two bottles in the car." ”
Xu Zhidao: "That's not good, I can't take advantage of beautiful women, so let's do it, next time I invite you to dinner, we can open another bottle of red wine." ”
He Chaoqiong pursed her lips and smiled: "It turns out that you still want to get my red wine!"
Xu Zhi smiled: "Of course. ”
"Okay, see you next time!" He Chaoqiong smiled and turned to leave.
"Goodbye. Xu Zhi smiled, the current He Chaoqiong is just a playful girl who has not experienced the baptism of society.
At the end of the banquet, Bao Yugang was obviously busy, and there were too many guests to see him off, so after Xu Zhi walked over to say goodbye, he went downstairs to leave.
"Ah Bin, let's drive!" Xu Zhi commanded after getting into the car.
The car quickly left the hotel and flew away in the direction of Taiping Mountain, Xu Zhi opened the armrest box in the middle of the back chair, there were several wine glasses in it, and after taking out one, Xu Zhi poured in the red wine that had not been drunk just now, and tasted it slowly.
