Chapter 332: Help Me Look at Something
Wang Guan took the opportunity to look over, and saw that the person who came out to greet him was about forty or fifty years old, his appearance was very simple and handsome, and his temperament felt similar to that of Su Wenyi, the head of the Su Group, and it was estimated that he was also a person in a high position and in charge of power.
"Mr. Li, why are you embarrassed to let you come out in person, can't you just call a master of ceremonies to welcome you?" Chen Cong was very happy and seemed to be a little flattered.
"Yes, it's a guest. Today is my birthday. My father is still here, and he shouldn't have done it in the first place. It's just a few kids clamoring to be a little more lively. Then I simply invited a few old friends to get together and chat, so I didn't need any emcees. The man smiled and said, "I didn't expect Mr. Chen to come too, which makes me feel very honored." ”
"Mr. Li was able to invite me, which made my face even brighter...... Chen Cong said with a smile.
Immediately, the two of them were endlessly polite, and after a long while, it seemed that another guest had come, and the man showed a somewhat apologetic expression and let Chen Cong enter the villa, and then stepped forward to greet the guest.
When he walked into the villa and moved towards the hall, Wang Guan finally couldn't help the curiosity in his heart and asked softly, "Mr. Chen, who is that Mr. Li?" ”
"You don't know?" Chen Cong was surprised, and then reacted that Wang Guan was from the mainland, and it was normal to not know. At the moment, he said somewhat mysteriously: "When you mention the surname Li in Singapore, what do you think of first. ”
"Singapore's Prime Minister, father and son!"
Wang Guancai said, and was suddenly stunned: "That Mr. Li just now, could it be ......?"
"It's a family, but he's the prime minister's younger brother."
Chen Cong smiled. Whispered: "It is Mr. Lee Hsien Yang, Chairman of Frasers Group." ”
At this moment, Wang Guan was not only stunned, but also had a few different emotions in his heart. If he had known that he was here as a guest, he should have firmly refused.
At this time, seeing that Wang Guan suddenly stopped and did not move, Chen Cong was a little strange and asked softly, "Wang Guan." Why don't you go? ”
"It's fine."
Wang Guan said with a strange expression: "I just thought about whether it was time to see the prime minister later." ”
"How is that possible?"
Chen Cong shook his head and smiled: "Unless it's their father's birthday." The Prime Minister will not come. ”
"Why?" Wang Guan asked.
"Didn't Mr. Li just say, this is just an ordinary family dinner. If Premier Li also comes, then it will definitely have a bit of a political tinge. Chen Cong explained: "However, it is well known. Like his sister, Mr. Li usually keeps a low profile, tries to avoid political issues, and does not want others to pay attention to his own affairs. ”
"You know, the rich and the like are generally more concerned about the current situation. But Mr. Lee, on the contrary, has no political leanings at all. Unless necessary, there is very little contact with Premier Lee. ”
Chen Cong smiled: "So his birthday banquet will definitely not invite the prime minister over." ”
"That's right."
Wang Guan nodded lightly, whether it was true or not. At least I feel much more comfortable. After all, if this Mr. Li had also made remarks about distancing himself from China, he really couldn't stay in this place.
Whether it is patriotic or hypocritical, at least Wang Guan has some principles and bottom line.
A while. The two walked to the hall, and Wang Guan found that there were really not many guests, just three or five. Everyone is the same as Chen Cong, wearing ordinary clothes, no different from ordinary people. Just listen, though. You will find that the topics that these people talk about are definitely not accessible to ordinary people.
Wang Guan vaguely heard a few terms, as if they were finance, stocks, real estate, etc., but unfortunately he really didn't understand, otherwise he might be able to find an opportunity to make a lot of money from these few words.
Of course, it is limited to here, and it is estimated that there is no use for Singapore.
"Mr. Chen!"
"Brother Chen!"
"Lao Chen!"
At the same time, seeing Chen Cong coming, several people sitting in the living room nodded and greeted one after another. But from the title, you can judge the distance between them and Chen Cong.
"You can find a place to sit without being too restricted." Chen Cong whispered to Wang Guan, and then walked over with a smile and chatted with a few people.
At this moment, Wang Guancai had time to look at the layout of the living room, and found that the hall was spacious, and there were many tables and chairs, and there were drinks, drinks, pastries, etc. on the table, which was a bit like a buffet.
In addition, next to the tables and chairs, there were also a few young people who sat scattered. Some are chatting, and some are simply alone in wine tasting, listening to slow and melodious music, which is also very pleasant.
"This is the legendary night banquet of the wealthy family? I can't feel it at all. Wang Guan shook his head, also found a corner, poured himself a glass of orange juice, and looked at the decoration of the living room boringly.
After two glances, Wang Guan found that although the night banquet was not luxurious, the wealthy family was indeed a wealthy family. Huge crystal chandeliers, as well as delicate gold and silver lamps can be seen everywhere, revealing the luxury of resplendent gold.
However, to Wang Guan's surprise, it was not Western oil paintings that matched this European decorative style, but Chinese pictures with lofty artistic conceptions. Although this does not explain anything, Wang Guan is somewhat happy and looks at those pictures with great interest.
Originally, Wang Guan felt that the Chinese paintings in the living room were at most Mr. Li's liking of traditional Chinese culture, or simply for the sake of vassal elegance, and casually asked someone to buy them and hang them on the wall, so there should not be many authentic works.
But after careful inspection, Wang Guan felt that these paintings did not seem to be fakes. Just as he was about to delve deeper, he suddenly heard someone say in surprise, "Why are you here?" ”
The voice was a little familiar, and Wang Guan looked up, and he was also a little surprised.
"Manager Hong." Wang Guan greeted him, holding up the orange juice and said with a smile: "Do you want to have a cup?" ”
"You're a man, and you like to drink this, too?" Manager Hong was a little happy, and with a little surprise, he continued to ask: "This is a private banquet, how did you get in?" ”
"Of course you walked in." Wang Guan chuckled and said, "Otherwise, you think I'm a thief, and I came in quietly." ”
"Of course not." Manager Hong shook his head and smiled: "There are layers of guards outside, as well as security patrols, which can be called heavily guarded, and it is impossible to sneak in casually." Besides, I have never seen a thief dare to eat and drink in the hall blatantly. ”
"Came with a friend."
Wang Guan explained, and then looked left and right: "Ms. Li is also here, where is she?" ”
"Upstairs, let's talk to Ms. Lin." Manager Hong said.
"Oh."
Wang Guan blinked his eyes and asked curiously, "Who is Ms. Lin?" ”
"Isn't it, you don't even know who Ms. Lin is, and you dare to come to someone's house as a guest?" Manager Hong was very surprised.
Wang Guan was very smart, and immediately reacted, smiling: "Mr. Li's wife? ”
"I'm not confused." Manager Hong pursed his lips and smiled, and suddenly said, "Do you want to go up and say hello?" ”
"Let me go up?" Wang Guan was surprised.
After all, listening to Manager Hong's tone, it should be a gathering of female dependents, and if you go up by yourself, don't say taboos or anything, from the perspective of pure etiquette, it is very inappropriate.
"That's right." Manager Hong smiled and said, "Just do me a favor and pick up the things." ”
Wang Guan was stunned, and found that Manager Hong was referring to a tray next to him, and there were seven or eight glasses of wine, coffee, juice and other drinks on the plate.
Yes, it turns out that the greeting is fake, and it is true when the small worker calls. In other words, is this really the home of Singapore's top rich? Why don't you even entertain more......
Wang Guan sighed in his heart, and after he understood, he was not embarrassed to shirk, carefully picked up the tray, and then under the guidance of Manager Hong, he slowly walked up to the second floor and came to a very elegant living room.
"Tuk Tuk!"
Manager Hong knocked lightly on the door and said with a smile: "I'm back, and by the way, I caught a handsome guy to call Ms. Lin." ”
At the right time, the seven or eight people chatting in the hall looked up, which made Wang Guan feel a lot of pressure. As he expected, this was really a gathering of women. However, everyone is old, and it is estimated that the youngest is Manager Hong.
However, these people are dressed gracefully and tastefully. Obviously, compared with the big bosses and rich people who dress casually underneath, these noble ladies pay more attention to their outfits and dress more in line with their status.
At the right time, someone reacted and said with a smile: "Xiaohong, we just said that we were going to choose a son-in-law for Mrs. Lin, did you really bring one up?" ”
"What?" Manager Hong was stunned and puzzled: "I was talking about Ms. Li just now, not Mrs. Lin." ”
At this time, everyone suddenly realized that Manager Hong's pronunciation was a little inaccurate, and he spoke too fast, and Lin and Li also had some homophony, so they listened to it.
"Wang Guan? You're here too. ”
At the same time, Ms. Li also saw clearly who the person holding the tray was, which was somewhat surprising.
"Hello Ms. Li, uh, ladies too." Being watched by several mother-level noblewomen, Wang Guan felt very embarrassed, slowly put down the tray, and was ready to leave.
At this moment, Ms. Li suddenly spoke: "Wang Guan, do you have any research on beads?" ”
Wang Guan was stunned for a moment, and said inexplicably: "What beads?" ”
"Ancient beadwork." Ms. Li smiled and said, "I heard that your appreciation ability is good. Anyway, it's coming, so just help me look at something. ”
While speaking, Ms. Li pointed to the desk, and Wang Guan noticed that a gorgeous and delicate hat was resting next to her.
I saw that the top of this hat was stacked with phoenixes, and it was divided into three layers, with a large pearl inlaid at the top, and then each layer was inlaid with pearls, forming the main pillar. In addition, it is to use various gemstones and pearls to inlay on the hat rack to form various auspicious patterns. On the back of the hat, there are also several rows of tassel pendants.
On the whole, this phoenix crown is delicate and luxurious to the extreme, large and small pearl gemstone particles are white and round, large and symmetrical, under the illumination of the light, flashing bursts of pearls, very brilliant and brilliant.
"This seems to be ......" (to be continued)
