"Are you nervous?" Li Xuan turned his head to look at this delicate and smooth face like mutton fat and white jade, and a pair of watery autumn eyes made people can't help but feel a little more pity.

"A little!" Zhong Chuhong frowned slightly and said softly.

"What's so nervous, it's not like going up the knife mountain and going down to the sea of fire to attend a cold dinner party!"

Li Xuan smiled, stretched out his fingers and scraped her small and delicate nose, and gently brushed the red lips and white teeth, the cherry as tempting little mouth.

"I hate it, concentrate on driving!" Zhong Chuhong patted his fingers away and said with squinted eyes.

All kinds of luxury cars have been parked in front of the Lin mansion in Deep Water Bay, including fashionable sports cars such as Lotus and Aston Martin, as well as noble and luxurious stretch cars such as Bentley and Rolls-Royce. Some people say that Japanese cars are tools, German cars are machines, French cars are romantic, and British cars are art.

Hong Kong's low-end car market has long been dominated by cheap Japanese cars represented by Nissan and Toyota, while the high-end market is still dominated by British cars. As a British colony, Hong Kong's wealthy people especially admired the cars of the suzerainty with an aristocratic style.

Li Xuan, the American civilian sports car of the Chevrolet Camaro, is particularly different from the British cars of Yishui. He threw the car keys to the maid who parked the car on his behalf, and turned his head to give Zhong Chuhong a reassuring smile. He carefully reached out and teased some messy bangs on her forehead, and then walked towards the villa with his girlfriend in a red bandeau dress.

This mansion in Deep Water Bay, covering an area of more than 2,000 square meters, is the residence of the Lin Guitai family, and today Li Xuan was invited to attend the twentieth birthday of his roommate Lin Yuhao. Lin Guitai is one of the few super-rich people in Hong Kong, and the valuation given by Hong Kong's "Hong Kong Economic Journal" shows that the entire Lin family spans many industries such as textiles, hotels, and real estate, with a family wealth of more than 5 billion Hong Kong dollars.

Lin's ancestral home is Chaozhou, eastern Guangdong, and the whole family began to prosper from Lin Guitai's grandfather who started to run a money village and ticket number business. However, the traditional concept of Chaoshan people is that the eldest son of the long house inherits the family business, and the sons who come out of the house do not have much property. Although Lin Guitai's father only received a small part of the family property when he split the family, it was enough for the whole family to have no worries about food and clothing.

It's a pity that Lin Guitai's father contracted tuberculosis before he was 30 years old, and his medical treatment consumed the family's surplus money, and after his untimely death, he left only orphans and widows. Before the age of fifteen, Lin Guitai came out as an apprentice to earn money to support his family. In 1945, at the end of World War II, Lin Guitai, who had just turned 20 at the time, cooperated with an American to obtain a batch of surplus materials from the US military in Guam at a low price and ship them back to Hong Kong for resale, earning the first pot of gold in his life.

In the fifties, Hong Kong's entrepot trade shrank rapidly due to the blockade of New China by the British government in Hong Kong. Lin Guitai, who has accumulated a certain amount of capital, resolutely devoted himself to the textile industry, not only became a textile tycoon in Hong Kong in ten years, but not from SH and Ningbo, but from Chaoshan.

After that, Lam Kwai Tai was optimistic about the development of Hong Kong's real estate industry, and Lam Group actively entered the real estate industry and high-end hotel chain industry. Today, Lin Guitai, who has just turned 55, started from scratch and has accumulated more than 5 billion family fortunes in 40 years.

It was not until the 70s that Hong Kong officially abolished the Qing Dynasty law and no longer allowed polygamy, so most of the wealthy in Hong Kong were married and concubined. Lin Guitai is a wealthy man in Hong Kong who has a better personal reputation, and has been with his wife for more than 30 years, and his relationship has been very good, until suddenly there was an accident of Lin Yuhao. Lin Guitai's original wife, Liu, is not harsh on Lin Yuhao's food, clothing, housing and transportation, but it is definitely not compatible with enthusiasm and thoughtfulness.

This time, the Lin family held a dinner party to celebrate Lin Yuhao's twentieth birthday, and at the same time officially introduced Lin Yuhao to everyone as Lin Guitai's son. The dinner was held at a cocktail party and a cold dinner, and the guests who arrived first gathered in small circles to talk about topics of interest.

Li Xuan held his girlfriend and walked casually in the banquet hall, passing by a waiter, taking two glasses of brandy from his tray, one of which was handed to Zhong Chuhong.

"Director Cai, don't scorn me, I'm just a shrimp soldier and crab general! Don't talk to Lao Linsheng, just go and talk to Xiao Linsheng, no one knows who I am!" Zhang Wenjin said with a wry smile.

Standing next to him was Cai Yongmin, the first deputy director of the newly established Housing Authority of the Shenhai Special Economic Zone. The other party heard that he was a civil engineer of Lin's real estate, so he wanted to ask himself to help introduce Lin's senior management.

Only Zhang Wenjin knows his own business, he is in Lin's Real Estate, and he is not even a middle-level manager, so he has no opportunity to talk to the senior management of the group, let alone introduce others.

"Hello!" Li Xuan, who was standing on the side, kindly raised his glass and gestured to the two.

Li Xuan noticed the two of them at a glance, although they were both wearing black suits, they knew at a glance that they were big road goods bought in the domestic goods building. Compared with other high-end suits that are custom-made by high-end tailors, there is a clear difference in both the workmanship and the fabric.

In addition, in the full hall of Cantonese or English, their Mandarin is a little different, especially this Director Cai, who also has a strong Northeast flavor in his words.

Cai Yongmin and Zhang Wenjin also smiled at Li Xuan in a friendly manner.

"My surname is Li, and my single name is a Xuan character!" Li Xuan stretched out his hand and shook hands with the two of them, introducing himself.

"Li Sheng is also from the mainland?" Cai Yongmin asked curiously as he listened to Li Xuan's standard Mandarin. Most Hong Kong people are very discriminatory against the backwardness of the mainland, and even if they can speak Mandarin, many people disdain to speak it.

"No, I'm a native of Hong Kong, I just happened to have learned Mandarin!" Li Xuan took the business card handed by Cai Yongmin again, and the head on it was the first deputy director of the Shenhai City Housing Management Bureau and the general manager of the Shenhai City Real Estate Development Company.

Such a position is a proper deputy department-level cadre after 30 years, and the real estate bosses will definitely send someone to accompany them when they see a real power figure who needs to nod their heads and smile, and if a large group like the Lin family is invited, they will definitely send someone to accompany them. Like now, not only is this Director Cai uncared about, but many people still had a little contempt when they swept their eyes here.

"I'm sorry, I'm in a hurry today, I forgot to bring my business card!" Li Xuan took out the wallet in his pocket and saw that the few personal business cards that were originally stuffed were long gone, and he said embarrassedly.

"Is Director Cai a cadre going south? It sounds like you're from the Northeast!" Li Xuan asked.

"Li Sheng is quite familiar with the situation in the mainland, I am from JL, and I just transferred from the army last year!" Director Cai said with a smile, with a bit of the boldness of a Northeast man in his words, "What line of work does Li Sheng do, and he is also an employee of the Lin Group?"

"No!" Li Xuan shook his head, "I'll start a small electronics company by myself!"

"It's good to be your own boss, seeing that Li Sheng is not very old, he is really young and promising!" Director Cai said appreciatively, "Li Sheng will have the opportunity to go to the Shenhai Special Zone in the future, and we strongly welcome you Hong Kong compatriots to invest and start businesses in the mainland!"

ps: Take the bus back to SH in the afternoon, and the update will resume tomorrow, asking for recommended tickets!
