Chapter 170: Hanshan Annex

……

Guo Shouyun has been the main force of the school basketball team for nearly ten years in junior high school, high school, and college. And to be able to win the start among a crowd of strong blacks and whites, in addition to a shrewd mind, strength, physical strength, explosiveness and flexibility are naturally not weak.

Therefore, Guo Shouyun, who was beaten miserably in the UK last year, is determined to pick up the foundation of free fighting in middle school. Under Matthew's tutelage, after nearly a year of training, he quickly became a master of free fighting.

Guo Shouyun was unforgiving, and when Buzz stepped back, he stepped forward in an instant, and his thick thighs kicked at the opponent's knees like lightning.

Seeing that he couldn't dodge, Buzz quickly twisted his right leg and avoided the vital point. The lunge took the powerful kick. Although he didn't fall, he also lost the stability of the next game, so when Guo Shouyun's hook came over, he fell directly on the side rope next to him. If it weren't for the rope, he would have gone underground.

"Boss, I admit defeat!"

Buzz said hurriedly.

Guo Shouyun frowned, "No, at least you have to play a game with me!"

"You'd better spare me. ”

Buzz shook his fist and said nothing more.

Seeing that his tone was resolute, Guo Shouyun turned his head to look to the side. Noticing his eyes, the crowd that was still watching the excitement in the ring just now 'hula' all ran away. I'm afraid that the next unlucky one will be myself.

Seeing their performance, Guo Shouyun couldn't cry or laugh in his heart. Of course, he also knew in his heart that defeating these people did not mean that his martial arts level was really unimaginably high. After all, although there is combat training in the Marine Corps, the most powerful thing about them is the guns in their hands. Combat training is only a supplement, and the strength of combat quality is the standard for judging whether a soldier is excellent or not.

"It seems that it is necessary to find another full-time fighting sparring partner!" At this time, he couldn't help but think of Hua Lei, who was still in the capital. The last time I called, I said that I would be discharged from the hospital in three months. After a few months of stability, you can come to the United States in about May or June. When the time comes, he will have another person by his side who can be trusted. However, Guo Shouyun can't wait half a year. Punching sandbags every day is not as enjoyable as actual combat. Of course, he's going to have to be with the punching bag today.

Half an hour passed, I sweated, and then I ran for a while, exercised my physical fitness, and then left the basement and went back to the upstairs room to take a shower.

Changed into a suit and went downstairs to explain to Wendy, Guo Shouyun brought a bodyguard to be his driver, and left Guo's manor.

Dollor, San Mateo County, is the most famous luxury residential area in the southwest of the San Francisco Bay Area, along with Atherton, where Guo Shouyun lives. The status of the two is similar to that of Hong Kong's Mid-levels and Repulse Bay.

Among all the mansions in Dollor, Hillsborough, a century-old British classical building covering 11.4 acres and backdropping the Twin Peaks and overlooking the Sith Valley, as well as the beautiful San Francisco Bay and the bustling Silicon Valley estate, is the top villa in the entire Dollor area.

Of course, it's not cheap either, at $23 million. Guo Shouyun paid a 20% down payment and bought it. However, the estate was not bought to invest in real estate, but to decorate it as a private club for his guests.

After all, although the Guo Manor is big, it is his own home. The best thing about a home is quiet and private. And he doesn't like too many people hustle and bustle in his own home. But when he entertains friends and holds banquets, there must always be a place. Therefore, buying another villa has become the most realistic option.

But even so, he didn't plan to charge membership fees like many private clubs. I just want to use this as a suitable social place for my own guests. Of course, you can also ask a friend to borrow it if necessary.

In addition, the name Shears was too obscure, so he renamed it 'Cold Mountain Villa' after buying the manor. Combining his two lives, Guo Shouyun, who is already a middle-aged literary man, prefers this kind of 'literary youth' name.

When Guo Shouyun's car passed the inspection of the doorman and drove in, a middle-aged man wearing a red bow tie around his neck and a black suit respectfully greeted him.

"Sir!"

Guo Shouyun nodded, although he had not been in contact with this specially hired housekeeper for a long time, at least he was still very satisfied with the performance of the other party now.

"George, are you all ready?"

"It's all ready according to the gentleman's instructions. In addition, Mr. Valles and Mr. Cheng Tinghua have arrived early. ”

"Oh, is there anyone else but them?"

George Fields shook his head.

"Where are they now?"

"In the living room!"

Guo Shouyun nodded and strode into the villa, and George Fields followed.

As a place for Guo Shouyun to entertain guests, Hanshan Villa is naturally luxurious in its decoration. In the living room of more than 150 square meters. There are exquisite sculptures, oil paintings, porcelain and other decorations on display. Although there are no too valuable ones, they are all masterpieces.

"Bruce?"

Hearing the footsteps, he turned to look at Guo Shouyun who strode in, Cheng Tinghua and Jason Valles, who were originally sitting on the sofa chatting, hurriedly got up to greet him.

"The two of you are very positive, you came earlier than my master!" After a simple hug to the two, Guo Shouyun smiled.

"It's rare that you take the initiative to start a party, of course we have to arrive early. Jason Valles laughed.

Cheng Tinghua nodded, then took out a beautifully packaged box from his pocket and handed it to Guo Shouyun.

"Happy New Year, Bruce. ”

"I haven't received a gift in years!"

"A Montblanc fountain pen, I hope you like it!" Cheng Tinghua nodded and smiled.

"Thank you!"

"Isn't it the tradition of you Chinese to give red envelopes during the Spring Festival? When did it change to gifts?" For this gathering, Jason Valais specially asked some Chinese popular traditions during the Spring Festival.

Looking at the red envelope he held in his hand, Guo Shouyun smiled and took out two of them from his trouser pocket, and handed them over to two of them.

"Jerry is ingenious. Our Chinese New Year tradition is indeed to give red envelopes!" Guo Shouyun said with a smile.

"Phew, I thought I was going to make a fool of myself!" laughed Jason Valles, who pretended to be relieved.

The three of them exchanged gifts, and just as they were about to continue looking for a topic to chat, a slightly cluttered footsteps sounded at the door again.

The three of them turned around in unison, and soon the figure of Keith Braischroeder appeared in front of them. But beside him there was also a young woman in a red coat with a capable temperament.

"Happy New Year, Bruce!"

"Thank you!

"Paris Kiani, my fiancée!"

Guo Shouyun's pupils shrank, and now he is no longer the stunned young man who didn't understand anything when he was just reborn. After nearly a year of hard work, I have a better understanding of some wealthy families in the political and business circles of the United States, especially those in California. Although the Kianni family is not as good as the top families such as Rockefeller, Morgan, and Roosevelt, it is also first-class in California.

The current head of the family, Gros Kiani, is a director of Bank of America and Lockheed Martin. In the United States, especially in California, it has a very large influence on both political and business circles.

"Nice to meet you, Lady Kiani!"

"Thank you! I have heard of Mr. Guo's name for a long time, and I am deeply honored to be able to meet you here today!"

Paris Kianni smiled and shook Guo Shouyun's hand. Although her family affairs are extraordinary, she has received a strict education since she was a child, and her face does not have the slightest look of frivolity, but reveals a polite and aristocratic temperament.

After the two of them said hello, Keith Braischroeder looked at it for a moment and smiled, "I didn't expect you two to come so early!"

"It's rare to get an invitation to Bruce's party, so of course you have to come early!" Jason Valles laughed.

"Keith, why haven't I heard you mention that you have such a beautiful fiancée by your side before!"

After greeting Paris Gianni, Cheng Tinghua asked with a smile.

"Paris is not a member of the Kratos Brotherhood, and you have only been in the club for a short time, so of course you don't know!"

"I see!"

"Alright, sit down, everybody, I've got a good drink for you today. Guo Shouyun proposed.

"I'm looking forward to it, but I'm afraid I won't be able to drink it for a while!" Cheng Tinghua said with a smile.

Following his eyes, Guo Shouyun also noticed Chen Huidi, Qiu Hongying and Qin Xiao who were walking in together at this time.

"Old Qin, it seems that we didn't come early!"

Noticing the situation in the living room, Qin Xiao was stunned for a moment and then smiled.

"If it weren't for waiting for you, Hongying and I would have arrived a long time ago!"

As he spoke, Chen Hui took two steps forward and stretched out his right hand towards Guo Shouyun, "Bruce, Happy New Year!"

"Happy New Year!"

As soon as the two finished shaking hands, they saw him spread his right hand evenly, with a sly smile on his chubby face, "Bring the red envelope!"

Facing this fat man who couldn't be disgusted, Guo Shouyun smiled, took out the red envelope that had been prepared a long time ago from his pocket, and put it in his hand. Then they were distributed one by one to Qin Xiao and Qiu Hongying, as well as Paris Chiani and Keith Braischroeder in front. The money in the red envelope is not much, just a cash check for $10,000. However, red envelopes are originally gifts, so naturally you don't need to put too much money.

"Shame on you!"

As a girlfriend, Qiu Hongying muttered in Chen Huidi's ear with a little annoyance. Then, he quickly stepped forward and handed the prepared red envelope from Kun's bag to Guo Shouyun.

This festive custom also quickly added to the joyful atmosphere in the villa. Let Qiu Hongying, Qin Xiao and Chen Huidi, who are strangers to each other, quickly get acquainted with Keys, Paris and Jason Wallais.

Later, Walter Henderson, Paul Denilson, and some members of the Kratos Brotherhood also arrived. Wang Guozhen, Du Hongchuan and Yao Qianqian, who I saw in Cheng Tinghua's villa last time, also brought their acquaintances to the scene. Soon the huge living room became bustling.
