Lu Li has lived in Hong Kong for a while, and knows a little about the people and customs here, and knows that in this situation, the guests gather at the party, of course, first to congratulate the birthday wife, and the other purpose is to take this opportunity to get closer to some colleagues and relevant people in the business field. At that time, there will be greetings and a large set of entertainment, which will take a long time. He nodded immediately, turned around and went downstairs.

There are three of the most prosperous stores in the Causeway Bay area, namely Funakoshi, Daimaru and Matsusakaya department stores, all of which are Japanese-funded stores, among which Matsusakaya is the largest, eight-story building, with a total area of nearly 300,000 square feet, divided into a total of 29 sales areas, from daily necessities to household goods, from cars and yachts to shoes, hats and bags, everything, there are really too many.

Lu Li asked in the hall on the first floor, went straight to the third floor, and found the men's clothing department, where there are many brands, and his eyes are dazzled! There are more than 20 kinds of Guanqi, SANDIRO, BIEM, Jinlilai, Hengfeng, there are more than 20 kinds, black, gray, blue suits and men's dresses are hung all over the shelves, and under the bright fluorescent lights of the ceiling, they emit a soft and somber light.

HE TOOK A FEW STEPS AND STOPPED IN FRONT OF THE SANDIRO DRESS COUNTER, "EXCUSE ME, SIR,......? ”

"I'm from the mainland, I don't understand your Cantonese very well, can you speak more slowly?"

The sales girl was stunned, the other party couldn't understand her words, and she couldn't understand Mandarin either! After a moment's hesitation, he turned around and walked back, but turned back again, said "yes, don't stop" before turning around and running away. After waiting for a while, she walked over with a slightly older woman, "That's it." ”

The woman who came later had short and lean hair, red lips and white teeth, and a delicate face, and smiled brightly at him. In a very unfamiliar Chinese language, he said, "Sir, is there anything you need?" ”

"I want to buy a dress, a suit."

"Is it ready-to-wear, or is it custom-made?"

"Ready-to-wear, I'm going to attend someone's birthday dinner in the evening."

"Understood." The woman nodded. Turning around, he said a few words to the sales lady in Cantonese, "Then, sir, please come over here, our service lady will measure your body first, and then choose the right outfit for you according to your body type." ”

Luli walked up to the sales girl and stretched out his arms straight, letting her take a tape measure. Going around his chest, "Wow? ”

"What's wrong?"

"It's okay, it's okay." The girl smiled shyly, grabbed the tape measure and stepped back, looking at the number on it, 130 centimeters! Looking at his pretty delicate appearance, don't you want to have such a 'connotation'? The girl glanced deeply at him and re-unfolded her tape measure. Around his waist, it was 80 centimeters. Is it really a standard golden ratio body type?

Measure your body separately. According to the number, he chose a set of blue suits, and when he walked out of the dressing room, several women glanced at each other, and they all noticed each other's surprised colors, even though Matsusakaya is the leading hypermarket in Hong Kong. I've seen too much, but seeing Lu Li, it's hard for them not to have a feeling of 'selling goods', such a person is really suitable to wear such clothes!

Luli stood in front of the dressing mirror. If you look at yourself seriously, it is indeed a person who relies on clothes and horses to rely on saddles, and it feels really different to put on such a suit! The man in the mirror was well-dressed and handsome, and Lu Li was also a little surprised, didn't want this outfit to fit so well? "Sir, he is really handsome. With all due respect, though, your shirts and shoes are a little older. ”

"Do you have it here? I bought them all. Oh, I remember, I want two copies of the same clothes, and besides, get me a pair of size 41 shoes in addition to my size. ”

"Number 41?" The woman took a look, this is the mainland shoe size marking, here in Hong Kong, it is the British standard, what size does No. 41 represent, she really can't convert! "Sir, why don't you buy shoes for a friend, or do you want your friend to try them on for himself, or choose a pair of shoes that he likes?"

"Alright then," Luley nodded, "then just the suit and shirt." ”

********************************

After changing into a brand-new suit, he returned to Zhang Dadong's lawyer's building again, it was close to the end of work, and several OLs in the office area were preparing to go home, their eyes widened in surprise, looking at Lu Li who walked in, gathered their heads together, and whispered, "Mr. Zhang? ”

"Oh, you're here?" Zhang Dadong also changed his clothes, it was a men's evening dress, with a bow tie on his white shirt, he was also handsome and dignified, the only fly in the ointment was that his lower abdomen was slightly bulging, and his body was not as good-looking as him, "Wow!" Pretty boy! ”

"What?"

"Nothing, nothing." Zhang Dadong smiled and waved his hand, "By the way, you can call me Allen in the future, always call me Mr. Zhang, it's too raw." By the way, do you have an English name? ”

"Nope. In our place, there is no such English name. ”

Zhang Dadong smiled and said, "Okay, I'll call you Lu Sheng in the future." By the way, do you have a female partner? ”

Luli was stunned, he didn't know there was such a rule, "What kind of female companion, I don't have it?" ”

"Then forget it, it's nothing if you don't have it." Zhang Dadong picked up a gift bag from the desk and held it in his hand, and walked out of the office side by side with him, "By the way, did you buy a gift?" ”

"Yes, I bought it."

"What did you buy?"

"It was a saleswoman who chose it for me, and it was a heart needle." He pulled out a small box from his pocket, "Do you want to take a look?" ”

"What did I do when I saw the gifts you gave to others? Let's go, I have to pick up someone. ”

The person Zhang Dadong wants to pick up is his 'female companion', in his early thirties, wearing a goose-yellow evening dress, with his hair pulled high, revealing his slender neck and half of his snow-white chest, sitting in the car, a fragrant perfume smell rushed into his nose, "Xiaoxiao, this is Miss Liu Helen, she works in the Department of Justice, you can call her Helen." Helen, this is Mr. Lu from the mainland, and this time he is going with us to the dinner. ”

Helen looked sideways at Lu Li who was sitting beside her, and frowned thoughtfully, "Mr. Lu, do you look kind?" ”

"He doesn't understand Cantonese." Zhang Dadong drove the car with a smile, turned around and said, "You try to slow down a little so that he can understand." By the way, he is the actor in the robbery case of Jin Jiafu in April this year, do you remember that case? ”

"Oh. I remember, are you that Mr. Lu? Hans and Lydia were in charge of the work, but I've heard them say your name and seen your picture in the newspapers. Helen looked very interested, and said with a smile, "By the way, Mr. Lu, you know kung fu, don't you?" ”

"It's not a kung fu. It's all random moves. ”

"Alan, what did he say?"

Zhang Dadong was overjoyed to hear it, and translated it for her, "Lu Sheng, I tell you that you have been to Hong Kong twice, and you always have to learn a little Cantonese, so you always have to bring a translator with you." How inconvenient is it? ”

"It's not that serious, I have a friend. He learns languages very quickly, and compared to him, I am far behind. So I wanted to ,......"

"It's your friend surnamed Xu, right? By the way, why didn't he follow you? ”

"He's got something else going on today."

Zhang Dadong didn't ask any more questions and drove all the way. Passing through the city of Hong Kong, we arrived at the Au Mansion in the Mid-Levels, where it was the first time for Lu Li to visit, looking at the roadside full of fragrant camphor and cypress trees, and the breeze was blowing. The fragrance of the fields, the scenery is quite not bad, the car goes along the path in the manor, not far away, it is the villa mansion of the Ou family.

On an open field at the entrance of the villa, there were already twenty or thirty cars parked, Zhang Dadong and Liu Hailun arm-in-arm in front, Lu Li followed behind, looking around, just looking at these cars beautifully, but they didn't know half of them! In fact, don't say it's these cars, it's the cars driven by Zhang Dadong, and he can't recognize the brand.

Walking into the hall of the villa, there are crystal chandeliers hanging on it, the lights are bright and dazzling, and there is a long table with all kinds of food, red wine, and white wine for the guests to enjoy at will, before they arrived, there were already dozens of people present, Lu Li looked around, he knew a few of them, Lin Zhenqiang, Zhong Hans, and Zhou Bingcheng, everyone brought their female companions, holding wine glasses in their hands, chuckling and feasting.

The three of them approached, and Zhou Bingcheng immediately recognized him, "Mr. Lu?" Why are you here too? When did you arrive in Hong Kong without prior notice? ”

"I've only been here for a few days, and there are a lot of things, so I didn't tell you so much that I didn't bother Mr. Zhou. Today, I heard from Allen that it was Lawyer Pei's birthday, so I took the liberty to come. ”

Zhou Bingcheng nodded and introduced them, "Mr. Lu, this is Mr. Zhong Hansi, you also know him?" ”

"I know, Mr. Zhong is so powerful, I was almost crucified to death by his professional quality in the court that day."

Hans Chung obviously did not understand Chinese, but Lin Zhenqiang translated to understand, and at this time, he no longer spoke harshly in court, but said with a very kind smile, "Mr. Lu, from the position of the Department of Justice, although I will not agree with your approach, as an ordinary citizen, I should really show you my respect." ”

"It's nothing, you're too polite. In fact, in my opinion, whether it was my anger at the time or my subsequent trial by the Department of Justice, it was a kind of ...... Well, it's a bit of a rhetoric to say justice, but let me explain it in terms of 'not condoning crime'. ”

Zhong Hansi listened to Lin Zhenqiang's translation and nodded frequently, "Correct solution, correct solution!" I completely agree with you. ”

Zhou Bingcheng nodded in agreement and asked, "Mr. Lu, what is the purpose of coming to Hong Kong this time?" ”

"The last time I visited Hong Kong, I was very impressed with the environment, so I wondered if I could follow Mr. Chow's example and start my own business in Hong Kong."

"Doing business? You'll have to think about it. By the way, you don't have an ID card in Hong Kong, do you? ”

"I am entrusting Mr. Zhang Dadong to help me handle such a thing,......"

Hearing him tell him what happened, Zhou Bingcheng's eyes widened in surprise, "Okay! What an offspring, truly eye-catching! Now there are a lot of smugglers from the mainland in Hong Kong, just to eat a full meal, there is no black and white hard work, as far as I know, these people's lives are completely unguaranteed, so they have to pray to God to worship the Buddha and bless themselves to find a good boss! Otherwise. Not only will you not be able to get the money, but you are also very likely to report to the police afterwards and be repatriated to China as an unidentified person! There are very few people like you who know how to solve the problem of their identity first, and then move on to the next step. Hans. Isn't it? ”

"Maybe it's because I have a little capital. Mr. Zhou, I still rely on the check you gave me to do this. ”

Zhong Hansi nodded and said: "Smugglers from the mainland, Vietnam and other places are indeed a big headache for the current Hong Kong Governor's government. These people have no identity, and even if they cause trouble, they can walk away, although it has a slight effect on Hong Kong's economy, but if you think about it seriously, it still does more harm than good. ”

Luli was stunned. Concerned asked, "Oh? Why is that? ”

"For example, if you say, oh, Mr. Lu, don't mind, I'm just using an analogy, for example, a stowaway like you, who can't find a serious errand to do, will choose to add some 'prefixes'. After serving their respective bosses and causing trouble such as robbery and murder. Turn around and run, where are the police going to arrest people? Don't forget, there is no judicial relationship between the mainland and Hong Kong now, so from this point of view, there are many stowaways. These are all very unstable factors in social order. ”

"So, what if I had a regular job?"

"Even if you are lucky enough to find a job, your rights and interests may not be protected in any way - please forgive me for what Mr. Zhou said just now. Is it possible to build social order on some good-hearted boss? That's a no-no! ”

Luli suddenly felt enlightened, and interjected improvisedly: "I understand what you said. So we have to rely on laws and systems to ensure social order, right? ”

Hans Zhong smiled and nodded, "Exactly!" Mr. Lu, it doesn't look like you haven't read a lot of books—I'm sorry, I don't mean to belittle you, I just think it's a little strange. Because the mainland has ...... in the past ten years, you know? ”

"I understand, as you said, I haven't read a lot of books, but I didn't like to talk very much since I was a child, and sometimes I always think about things and things, and I think too much, and occasionally I have some random thoughts, that's all."

"It's nothing, it's right to think a lot." He said, "Oh, Goliath and Frequent are here. ”

Everyone turned their heads to look over, and it was Ou Pei Linying who appeared at the door of the living room. She wore a black evening dress, her hair was tied back at the back of her head, showing a large area of white skin, there were two people beside her, a man and a woman, and Lu Li couldn't help but be greatly surprised at a glance: the man was full of black and white hair, looking at his age, he was always around 50 years old, but he had a red fluttering, delicate and tender baby face! Big eyes, light eyebrows, small nose, and Tu Dan-like lips, at first sight, almost just a teenager!

The other is a girl, compared with Ou Pei Linying, she is too beautiful and beautiful! A pair of smart phoenix eyes, a jade-like nose, a diamond-shaped, red mouth, these, with that melon seed face, are very pleasing to the eye, very beautiful, the figure is so slender, the complexion is white and tender like clotted fat, it is impeccable, the only thing that makes people feel a little incongruous is that she gave birth to a pair of thick black sword eyebrows like Ou Pei Linying! It was so dark that there was a cold air, an indescribable ruthlessness!

The three of them approached with a smile, and Ou Pei Linying smiled, "I'm sorry, I'm late." ”

"Happy birthday." Zhou Bingcheng also put on a smile on his face, made a face-hugging salute with her, then shook hands with the baby-faced man, and finally nodded to the girl, "Frequency, long time no see." ”

"Hello, Mr. Zhou."

Everyone stepped forward, each expressing their greetings to the lady and giving birthday gifts, and when they arrived at Lu Li, Ou Pei Linying's eyes lit up, "Mr. Lu? You ......"

"It's the right time, please don't blame me for being presumptuous," Lu Li took out the gift box from his arms and handed it to the other party, "Happy birthday, Pei Daxiang." ”

"No, you're welcome. Oh, let me introduce you, this is my brother-in-law, Mr. Ou Zihao, and this is my daughter, Ou Chenli. ”

"Miss Ou, hello."

Ou Chenli stared at him for a while, whispered a few words to her mother, and then shook hands with him and said a few words in English, "......"

Lu Li couldn't even fully understand Cantonese, let alone English, so he looked at the other party blankly, but didn't know how to answer, "Miss Ou said that she was very happy to meet you." Zhou Bingcheng said as he translated.

Before Lu Li could say a few polite words, footsteps sounded outside the living room, and a man's loud voice came in, "Pei Dazhuo, happy birthday!" I wish you a day every year, and a future every year. ”

As soon as this voice sounded, everyone except Lu Li frowned, and Ou Pei Linying turned around helplessly and faced the visitor, "Mr. Xiao, thank you for coming." ”

"You're welcome, you're welcome!" The man was a man of medium stature, fifty-four or five years old, and the hair on the top of his head had begun to extend backwards, revealing a broad U-shaped forehead, a pair of tiger eyes, a nose and a wide mouth, and his face was quite not bad. A pair of gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of the nose adds a bit of elegance.

"See?" Zhou Bingcheng, who was beside Lu Li, said in a low voice, "This person is Xiao Yuan, after Pei Dazhuo's husband passed away, he pursued the most, if there was not an extradition case involving him, things would be very troublesome." ”

"How?"

"Some business practices, in short, are very troublesome."

"He's a businessman too?"

Zhou Bingcheng nodded and said, "Not only is he a businessman, but his business is very, very big, Ou Shi and my Jin family are not as rich as his assets." ”

These words didn't have too deep an impact on Lu Li - he didn't understand it at all, in short, he knew that this person named Xiao Yuan was very rich. Seeing that Ou Pei Linying and the other party made a veneer salute and shook hands with each other, "Golia, I told you when I left Hong Kong last month that when you celebrate your birthday, I will definitely rush back, and now, I finally didn't break my promise that day, right?" ”

"Thank you again, Mr. Xiao."

"I said, just call me Khauer. You're always like this, treating yourself as an outsider. Oh, and Jackie is also there, and frequently has returned from the UK as well? Is it for your mommy's birthday celebration, or is your studies over? Any plans? If you need to, just tell me, but my words may be just an afterthought, with a big picture like Goliath as your master, why bother others to help? ”

"It's over." Ou Chenli replied lukewarmly, then tightened her mother's arm and said, "Mommy, there are still many guests, let's go over first." ”

"Okay," Ou Pei Linying nodded and said to Xiao Yuan, "Mr. Xiao, please take care of yourself." After saying that, he turned around with his daughter and brother-in-law. (To be continued......)
