Chapter 335: Hong Kong's Rich Second Generation
The two greeted each other, and Govin glanced at the dazzling array of delicacies at the self-service counter beside him, and then made a gesture to Ziye asking if he could continue to eat. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
As a result, his pretending to be a gentleman and his urgency for food are very contradictory, which makes people stunned.
Ziye couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.
Although she herself is not a beauty, she is not bad-looking, and usually if she takes the initiative to talk to other men, she will make those men pretend to be serious and serious. But looking at Govine's eyes, his attraction to him is clearly not as strong as the food on the table next to him.
For a moment, Zi Ye's heart swelled with infinite curiosity about Govyn.
This person is actually different from the mainlanders I have seen, he is not restrained at all, he is neither inferior nor arrogant, and he is very interesting.
And the way I watched Govin gobbling up before, it made people see that they had raw liquid in their mouths and had a great appetite.
She just saw Govin tasting the food, so she couldn't help but come forward to greet Govern.
According to the usual practice, like this kind of Western-style banquet, especially this kind of high-standard occasion, everyone is tasting, chatting and dancing, even if they are hungry, they will try their best to suppress it, there will be like Govin who doesn't care about other people's opinions, and Govern's appearance is simply a fight with Huang Zhan, one of the four great literati in Hong Kong she has seen.
Purple Night replied to Govern with an unmindful expression, and then saw Govin pick up the plate that had been placed on the buffet table and load the food on the plate.
After a little hesitation, Zi Ye followed Gowen's example, and also took a clean plate from the self-service counter and poured food into it.
As she served, she introduced the various delicacies on the table to Govin on the side.
"The Peninsula is the oldest surviving hotel in Hong Kong and one of the most luxurious and renowned hotels in Hong Kong and the world. The restaurants here are arguably some of the best in Hong Kong. The food at tonight's banquet is very little Cantonese food, most of it is Western food, and it should be made by the chef of Gpaddies, which is known as one of the best French restaurants in Asia, but if you want to taste the most authentic Cantonese cuisine in Hong Kong, you still have to go to The Peninsula Hotel's Gallin House Restaurant......"
Zi Ye held the half-filled plate, and said while the lady tasted the food.
"So there's more to The Peninsula than meets the eye?"
Govin asked, he was also eating with a plate, but compared to Purple Night, his movements were much more bold.
"That's right." Purple Night nodded.
"Great! I must try all the food in Hong Kong this time! ”
Govin clenched his fists and stretched out two fingers to swear at the chandelier above his head was extremely frightening, especially when there was a red and white dish on the corner of his mouth, which made Zi Ye laugh coquettishly and almost dropped the plate to the ground.
Purple Night's laughter attracted the attention of many people.
Not far away, a group of Hong Kong young people were chatting with wine glasses, and when they heard Ziye's laughter, their eyes were all staring.
A young man in his 30s, who was thin and had an arrogant smile on his face, asked another young man with rimless glasses, "Zeju, who is the person who is talking to Ziye?" ”
"I haven't seen it, I think it's a member of the exchange group from the mainland."
"How about we go over and see? That young man seems to be a little different from other people from the mainland. ”
"I'm just a little hungry, go over and get something to eat."
"Let's go together."
“……”
On the other side, Ai Qing caught a glimpse of this scene from the crowd, a little angry in his heart, but his face was still gentle as jade to talk to a high-level official of the Hong Kong government, only the slightly frowning eyebrows exposed his heart.
This Govin is really not worry-free!
It's just been a day since I came!
The chat between Govin and Purple Night continued.
"There are very few purple surnames in China, and there are no hundred surnames. In ancient China, it seems that only the surname of the Xiqiang people was Zi, to be precise, it should be the sister of the younger brother. In addition, it seems that during the period of the Hu people of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the surname Chai changed his name to purple in order to avoid trouble. Purple Night, your last name is ......"
Ziye looked at Govin with some surprise.
She didn't expect that Govyn's knowledge would be so profound, and when others heard the name Ziye, they always thought that she was named Ziye, and her surname was hidden and unspoken. And Gewen broke the origin of his surname in one sentence, and this situation was only broken by Li Bihua when she and her godsister Li Bihua met for the first time.
About her last name, it's a little trick she has tried and tried to trick her new friends!
Purple Night's interest in Govyn grew stronger.
She put the tray in her hand on the dining table, picked up a glass of red wine, took a sip, and said: "There is no surname of the hundred family, my surname is from the surname Chai, the ancestor is the Chai family of Pingyang County, and the surname was changed to purple in order to avoid trouble." Govyn, you're amazing! ”
"It's so-so." Govin is modest.
At this moment, the group of young people from before came over.
The young man with rimless glasses greeted Govin first: "Hello, I'm Li Zeju. ”
He speaks fluent Mandarin.
Govyn was shocked.
Li Zeju?
Govin put the plate in his hand on the table, and then shook hands with the young man who claimed to be Li Zeju, shaking hands while looking at the person in front of him seriously.
That's right, it's Li Zeju!
Although Gowen didn't know Li Zeju, he was very familiar with his father.
Li Zeju on the opposite side has a slight resemblance to some of the photos of Li Ka-shing that Govan has seen on the Internet and magazines in his later life.
"Govyn, from the mainland."
Just as the two shook hands, the thin young man from before had already come to Zi Ye's side: "Zi Ye, what are you saying so happy?" ”
"You don't understand." Zi Ye seemed to have an opinion about this emaciated young man, and he spoke a little impulsively.
The young man was not annoyed by the white eyes of Ziye, and then he turned to look at Gowen: "Your name is Gowen?" ”
"Hello, may I ask who you are?"
"Huo Zhenyu!" The youth held out his hand.
Govin was stunned.
At this time, the other young people all gathered, and it was obvious that Huo Zhenyu and Li Zeju were the leaders of this group.
Some of these young people joked that Ziye's previous laughter was not ladylike at all, and whether they were hungry when they stole food at the banquet, and some people gathered around Huo Zhenyu to introduce Huo Zhenyu's identity to Ge Wen, and said proudly that he was Bao Yugang's nephew.
Good guys, this group of people in front of you is actually the top rich second generation in Hong Kong!
Seeing that Ziye is no stranger to these people, then she should also be a rich second generation?!
However, these people seem to be very approachable, compared to the various strange rich second generations that Govine saw in the newspapers in later generations, it makes people feel good.
However, Govin also faintly felt the invisible arrogance in these people, or for a person who was not of the same class as them, they were really polite and excessive, which made Govin clearly feel a certain insurmountable distance.
These young people introduced themselves to Gowen, and Gowen had a faint smile on his face, and his heart was not shocked, and he greeted them without humility or arrogance.
Is this a dismount?
Is it because Ziye is more familiar with me and deliberately reminds me?
Govyn's heart was a little stunned.
In his heart, the reason why these rich second generations were able to succeed was nothing more than to occupy the light of their fathers. If it weren't for their parents who gave them an elite education and created a platform for them, it's really hard to say whether they would be able to succeed on their own.
If it was their parents in person, they might really have revered and admired the self-made elders.
They?
With the ability of their own traversers, if you want to make money, you may not be worse than them!
Maybe it was because he didn't provoke Gowen's shock when he introduced himself, maybe it was because he saw that Gowen was able to face his people calmly, or maybe he saw Gowen continue to talk to Ziye after greeting him......
Some of these rich second-generation people began to be quite scheming, they deliberately joined the chat between Govin and Ziye, and then led the topic to the whole world, what politics, economy, culture, history, science...... Thrown out in one go.
Govyn chuckled.
Maybe these people are elites in this era, but for a former Internet angry youth, what is the best? It's nothing more than a mouthpiece.
Hu Kan is the specialty of the 21st century Internet youth.
Empty talk of innocence!
Long live the mouth cannon!
Whatever they talked about, Govyn talked about it calmly. Some of the words and opinions made Zi Ye and Li Zeju feel very novel, and their eyes lit up.
When the music at the banquet was replaced with dance music, the disgruntled rich second generation was defeated, and they fled under the pretext of going to dance.
Only Ziye, Li Zeju, Huo Zhenyu and a few others were left.
At this time, unconsciously, the sense of alienation on Huo Zhenyu, Li Zeju and others had almost disappeared.
When Gentleman Govern invited Ziye to dance a tango song, several people applauded Govern's dancing skills, and their hearts were full of curiosity about this young man from the mainland.
The young man in front of him is not as restrained and rigid as other mainlanders, but seems to be more like a Westerner and a Hong Kong person, who can afford to joke, play humorous, knowledgeable, and have a unique point of view, and has initially won their approval.
The banquet ends.
Purple Night's promise to visit Hong Kong for a few days drifted away.
Li Zeju and Huo Zhenyu solemnly invited Govin to attend their party in a few days, and Govern's views on Hong Kong's economy and stock market made them feel reimpressed.
The banquet was held at the Peninsula Hotel, so the distance back to your accommodation was not too far.
Govin stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling windows and enjoyed the view of Victoria Harbour at night before taking the elevator back to his room.
As soon as I got out of the elevator, I saw Mr. Ai Qing standing in the corridor pacing back and forth.
Seeing Govin come out of the elevator, Ai Qing strode over.
"What did I tell you when I came! Are you turning a deaf ear to my words? ”
Ge Wen was a little stunned by Ai Qing's words, and then heard Mr. Ai Qing continue: "I originally wanted to give you a chance, but I didn't expect you to be so frivolous!" Don't pay attention to the impact at all! Don't you know what the occasion is today? What do you think about being so in the limelight on the first day you came to Hong Kong? ”
"****, I didn't do anything?" Govin explained with some gloom.
"Humph! Didn't do anything? On the first day, I talked and laughed with Hong Kong women, and grandstanding! Didn't I tell you to say less and do more? Young people don't squander their talents just because they have them! It seems that you really appreciate the literary and artistic views of the West, do you know that the country is now opposing bourgeois liberalization! Relying on the elders around you to protect you, you will cause trouble everywhere, lest the world will not be chaotic, how many things have you experienced? If you just want to come nonsense, you should also think about your teacher! Do you want to see your teacher lose his or her old age?! ”
"****, I ......"
"From tomorrow, you don't want to participate in the work of the exchange group! Except for going to the University of Hong Kong Chinese to receive an honorary doctorate of letters for your teacher, you don't need to do other jobs for Ba Lao, you just think about it behind closed doors in the hotel! ”
Saying that, Ai Qing left angrily.
……
……
There is very little information about Hong Kong, and I gritted my teeth and bought a kindle, and there are dozens of e-books, but I don't know if I can read them......
If you have a suggestion, leave a message in the book review area, and I will consider the highest recognition, otherwise I will come according to my own ideas.
