Many people were interested in the shooting exhibition, and they had a lot of fun in the evening. But An Feng had to return the next day, and it was no problem to stay for a few more days, but when it came to the peak of holiday tourism, there were crowded people going out to play, and it was a bit sorry for the masses to increase the traffic pressure, so they checked out the next morning and said goodbye to their friends.

The plane returned to California and continued to stay at home.

Because of the developed nature of California's tourism industry, many people will fly to the United States during the domestic Golden Week, and California is naturally a popular area, with the largest number of Chinese faces in Los Angeles and San Francisco, so at this time, you will definitely encounter a lot of Chinese Americans on the streets, especially luxury stores.

An Feng stayed in the vineyard for vacation, and with the holographic communication device, his office is also much more convenient, and many things are processed through holograms, so he doesn't have to go out to do things. After a lot of free time, Joanna was able to concentrate on preparing for her competition, and now she is very competitive!

Considering the inconvenience of going to and from the racecourse every day, the training conditions there are similar to those of the vineyard, especially after the vineyard has expanded the recreational area, the free area of the 150-acre land racing racecourse is much larger, and with a little money to bring in sand and transform the ground, it becomes her luxury training ground.

It's no longer hot in California in October, and outdoor training is a great way to get some fresh air and ride a horse on the plains with a feeling that can't be compared to a small indoor training field. Joanna's logistics team also came here to work.

Based on the results of practical considerations, Hansen proposed to divide the competition into two days, with the first day holding a dressage competition and the second day a show jumping competition, ranking according to the overall results, with the first place 1 million and the second place 600,000. the third 400,000; The next four to seven are 100,000.

As for the rewards for the latter ones...... Because the host also wants to come to the stage to receive the award.

Although the opening race of the Blue Sky Racecourse was informal, the organizers were not short of money, and the prize money for any two days of racing was more than two million US dollars, plus other equipment and the construction of the racecourse, there were no four or five million that could not be played. In the final analysis, this is also a rich man's money-burning game.

The competition is now publicized, and the temptation of the champion of 1 million = is very confusing. Even professional events rarely have such a high amount of rewards! And the organizers also provide excellent warmblood horses, which of course can also be brought by the participants. To report the day before the match, the difficulty is one international star.

Joanna has no professional qualifications, but as a host, she is naturally exempt.

It was a bit difficult for her to win a prize position, as the horse had to be over five years old, so her Hannover Gina was excluded, not to mention that she and Gina were not on good terms. Even if you allow it, you will not choose it. In the end, "Angelina", who is more than six years old, was sent to participate in the event.

Time is of the essence and pressure is not small, and Angelina's father is a brilliant parent, but he has never competed in a tournament and has only been with Joanna for three years. Therefore, Joanna needs to train rigorously, develop tacit understanding and affection, and practice dressage and show jumping according to the project every day.

An Feng also often goes to training, and there are full-time coaches on site. He also benefited a lot, but compared to Joanna's professionalism. The visual aesthetic is different. She is very good at dressage, and can make the horse want to be an obedient puppy, and walk out of a series of graceful steps, fast and slow, straight and sideways. Step in place and go in circles...... The movements are standard and elegant, without whips and spurs at all.

At the end of a round of training, An Feng handed her a bottle of water: "This competition should be very sure, right?" ”

Joanna has no pride: "It's just the first step in the race, and being able to make a move is completely different from being able to have the horse perform exactly what the rider tells you to do in the arena. The reason is that you will have a standard running position. But it is not as good as a professional athlete and still needs to be strengthened. ”

"Don't worry, there are more than 20 days!" An Feng encouraged her, "You will definitely be able to master it." ”

"Thank you, dear." She smiled, "Being able to give me so much support, meeting you is really the luckiest thing in my life." ”

"Give me a few kisses." An Feng said.

Joanna came over and kissed him a few times, put her arms around his neck and said, "Satisfied, right?" The mouth is so sweet! ”

"It feels good! Go and rest for a while. An Feng pulled her to the rest area, and Joanna took off her helmet and gloves and sat naturally on his lap.

"It's very comfortable to hold in this cool weather." She said.

"That's smart!" An Feng hugged her waist and smiled, "Honey, I'm going to invite Matthew and Bazel over in a few days, what do you think?" ”

"It's good to communicate with them more and enhance their relationship." She said.

An Feng nodded: "That's the case, I've been ignoring the details before, and I have been spending a lot of time lately, so I want to find an opportunity to talk to them about future plans." ”

Joanna said: "I feel like they have a big goal, a lot more understanding and figuring out where to go." ”

An Feng asked, "Do you feel this way too?" ”

"Intuitively, Bazel is a man who is not willing to be ordinary - of course he is in a very high position right now, but how to say it...... This is not all his achievements, a lot of glory is piled up by his ancestors, and he wants to show what he has earned in exchange, just like the European knight's pursuit of honor. ”

"Look at what you said, he's not a knight anymore, is he?" An Feng smiled.

She said: "It's just an analogy, I feel that he has high pursuits and thinks farther than ordinary people. It may also be because of his maturity and sophistication. ”

An Feng said: "If people have too much money to spend, they will do something meaningful to achieve self-realization." In Chinese parlance, it means 'glorifying the ancestors', and I think that as the eldest son of the family, through the ups and downs of the family, Bazel shoulders the mission of the family to prosper and benefit future generations. ”

"That's it." Joanna nodded, and looked at An Feng again, "What about your self-realization?" ”

"Me?" An Feng thought for a while, "Is it okay to maintain peace on the earth?" ”

"Poof!" She laughed, "What!" ”

"What about you?" An Feng asked her.

"It's very realistic and simple, the first is to be your perfect wife, so that you will be proud of me; There is also the desire to go to the equestrian arena and, if possible, to win medals; Or to educate our future generations with a culture that money can't buy......"

"That's a lot!" An Feng said.

"But it's all realistic, focused on the present." She said.

……

An Feng sent an invitation to Sinclair a week in advance.

As Bazel reminded, communication is a two-way street, and Anfeng used to always participate passively. There is no initiative. In retrospect, he did rarely have private communication with the core of the consortium, and those cocktail parties and banquets were more inclined to official affairs and did not bring too much personal nature.

Of course, An Feng also hopes that the relationship with them can be like getting along with Wang Le, unrestrained from the heart. But the age gap is there, and it's impossible to ridicule a lot of foul language without scruples, Bazel is his father-level figure, and Matthew is more than a dozen years older than him.

But it's okay to sit down and have a cup of tea together, talk about something boundless, and share each other's joy. After An Feng sent out the invitation, Matthew and Bazel both promised to attend on time, and after asking some more requests, An Feng gave a semi-formal answer. Too formal is not conducive to livening up the atmosphere.

And preparing for this private dinner will take a lot of thought.

The two of them must have been the hosts, only responsible for receiving guests, so they needed a butler and several servants, as well as a cook and his helpers...... Now that An Feng has no shortage of money and land, it is impossible to wait until the mansion is completed to recruit people in a hurry.

So it's fitting to prepare now. Able to pick the most satisfying one.

Thinking of the housekeeper's problem, An Feng first aimed at Wu Qian, a housekeeper in Florida. If you don't go to stay for a few days a year, the housekeeper must be moldy.

contacted her by phone, and Wu Qian agreed very happily.

Wu Qian also said that if her employer does not contact her again, she plans to take the initiative to contact them...... As a career woman with pursuits, she has nothing to do for more than 200 days in a row, living alone in an empty house. The days are comfortable at first, but after a long time, they get boring.

Then there is the problem of servants, who in modern society look very feudal, but there are not many agencies that provide this kind of service and are willing to do it - high salaries, and salaries are higher than those of ordinary white-collar workers. Americans who pursue freedom and independence are not willing to do it. But that doesn't mean there aren't anywhere else.

For example, in South America, or some underdeveloped countries in the South Seas, there are many people in South America who come to developed countries to engage in high-end domestic services, as a long-term contract nature, a bit like feudal servants, but modern society is more enlightened than before, they are middle-class people with high salaries.

The matter of recruiting long-term servants has to be carefully considered, the problem is that the dinner will be held in a week, and only temporary ones can be hired, but fortunately, Wu Qian, who arrived by plane the next day, is very skilled, and she is in charge of the temporary workers. In her words, she has been on vacation for more than 200 days, has nothing to do all day, and wants to quit.

Time is pressing, Wu Qian used the shortest time to familiarize himself with An Feng's carefully decorated mansion, not as good as Florida in terms of value, but comparable in terms of decoration and luxury, after several rounds of drastic transformation, the building has a European style, creating a traditional extravagance.

Wu Qian walked around a few times and made a list: "Mr. An, if you want to hold a dinner for six people, you need three servants around the table, one food delivery, one cook and one helper. This is the size that makes it possible to maintain a perfect dinner party that meets the requirements. ”

"No problem, you're responsible for finding someone." An Feng said, "After this incident, you can think about the issue of permanent contract workers." ”

"I see, sir." Wu Qian said.

"Okay, you go get busy." An Feng said, Wu Qian nodded and retired.

In the next few days, after resting, An Feng and Joanna discussed the housekeeper's affairs. Of course, Wu Qian is also very good, she can take on the work of Florida or a winery, but for the mansion to be built in the future, the housekeeper naturally has to reflect the face and grandeur of the owner's family.

Joanna thought for a moment, "Let's let Mr. Brandon come out, right?" ”

An Feng recalled the image of the old English butler in his head, and said, "He is indeed suitable, but he didn't seem to have this meaning before, right?" ”

"I'll say yes!" Joanna smiled mischievously.

An Feng reminded her: "Let's not force the old man, in case it is really not in good health, it will be embarrassing." ”

"I'll take notice." Joanna said in a measured way. (To be continued......)
