Chapter 57: Christmas Eve is not peaceful
On December 24, the day before Christmas, although it is not a public holiday, some institutions have already left work early and the stock market is only open in the morning.
According to the unwritten convention, Zhang Shaoping inspected the company in the morning and announced that he would leave work early at 3 p.m.
Coming out of Zongheng Investment Company, Mi Xue drove Zhang Shaoping's BMW car and slowly stopped. There are many people, and Michelle doesn't dare to drive her own car, for fear of being targeted and blocked by reporters.
"Let's go, go pick up Min'er, Xiaomei and Aunt Zhou, and let's spend Christmas together." Zhang Shaoping got into the car road.
At this time, the atmosphere of Christmas festivity and grandeur is quite strong.
The facades of famous buildings on both sides of Victoria Harbour, Tsim Sha Tsui and Central are adorned with large-scale Christmas lights, which are sure to attract attention at night. The road is full of traffic, and many members of the public have started to celebrate Christmas, such as viewing Christmas lights, throwing Christmas parties, eating Christmas dinners, exchanging Christmas gifts, and going to Lan Kwai Fong and other places to celebrate the party.
Most shops, restaurants and entertainment venues are still open as usual, and many people are visiting to spend money due to the festive atmosphere, and of course, many people are leaving Hong Kong for travel. This is a big tourist season, and on the 24th, plane tickets are hard to find.
Every year on Christmas Eve, which is the most important period of the festival, Tsim Sha Tsui, Causeway Bay, Lan Kwai Fong and other places will be crowded with people watching Christmas lights and carnivals, and there are even countdown activities to welcome Christmas.
"Alas, when it's Christmas, Hong Kong is full of people."
The traffic is too big for Mercedes to run, BMW can't run, all of them are moving slowly at the speed of a snail. Michelle complained: "It's all your fault, I have to pick you up, you see, it's blocked now, right?" ”
Chen Feihu was not there, and Zhang Shaoping grabbed Mi Xue, a free laborer, to be a driver.
Zhang Shaoping said with a smile: "Everyone has left work early, can you not squeeze it?" ”
"It's not you unscrupulous company bosses who usually squeeze employees too hard, and they will be so crazy when they get to the holidays."
"Hey, you're not mistaken, it all fits together?"
Under the fun of the two bickering, time seems to become very fast, anyway, I don't know when, the road suddenly cleared.
Longmen Restaurant is a time-honored teahouse in Hong Kong, and it is also the earliest air-conditioned restaurant. Together with the adjacent Longtu Restaurant and the Longtuan Restaurant across the street, it is collectively known as the "Three Dragons" Restaurant. The restaurant is open 24 hours a day, and grand gatherings in the music and chess circles are often held there. In Hong Kong, it is also a relatively famous restaurant.
Zhang Shaoping booked a private seat here.
Everyone sat down, Zhang Shaoping confessed, and the dishes ordered were delivered one after another. There is a signature dish here, which is pure charcoal roast flavor, which has a unique charcoal aroma. For example, roast goose and barbecued pork make people salivate and increase their appetite.
Everyone does not have the good habit of not talking when eating and sleeping, and generally eats and stops, chats, cheers and talks, and talks about trivial things.
The little sister took a few bites of food, jumped off the chair, walked to the window and looked at the lively scene outside the window.
Outside the window, men and women walked over holding hands, holding various gifts, and laughing and laughing. A variety of beautiful Christmas lights with dazzling and charming light colors. A person dressed as Santa Claus, holding a lot of flying balloons in his left hand, these balloons are colorful and different shapes, Santa Claus takes out a few candies from his pocket with his right hand whenever he sees a child walking by, and then grabs a balloon and gives it to them.
When the little sister saw this, she was very envious, ran back, poked Zhang Shaoping's weakness with her fingers, and said coquettishly: "Brother, I also want a gift." ”
Zhou Huimin and Mi Xue got together, and the two talked about their daughter's private words one after another, while Zhang Shaoping could only sit next to Zhou's mother honestly and talk with her to relieve her boredom. At this time, when he heard the little sister ask him for a gift, he suddenly felt pardoned and smiled: "Hahaha, the gift is it, right?" My brother has long been ready, and everyone has a share. ”
Hearing the word "gift", the little girl's eyes lit up, but Zhou Huimin and Mi Xue, the two beauties, also opened their bright eyes and looked at Zhang Shaoping expectantly.
As if by magic, Zhang Shaoping took out three sets of keys, raised them, and smiled proudly: "What do you think this is?" ”
Michelle's eyes lit up, and she muttered, "This is the car key?" ”
Zhang Shaoping nodded approvingly: "I bought three of the latest version of Ferraris, you, Min'er and Aunt Zhou are just three people, one for each person." ”
Zhou Huimin said happily: "Really? Do I have a share too? ”
Zhang Shaoping said: "Of course. This was originally a Christmas gift from me, who else could I give it if I didn't give it to you? ”
Zhou Huimin smiled when she heard this, and she was very happy. She was too young to drive a car, so no one dared to send a car, otherwise, Zhu Lingling would have given her a favor. Because she often sees Mi Xue and Zhu Lingling driving back and forth, she is very greedy.
The little girl is unhappy, everyone has a share, why don't you have mine? She said coquettishly, "What about mine?" I want a gift too. ”
"Your gift is in the car, will my brother give it to you when I get home?" The little girl made a fuss, and Zhang Shaoping hurriedly calmed her.
Zhou Huimin and Mi Xue were full of joy, but they saw Zhou's mother and said in a deep voice: "Ah Ping, this gift is too expensive, we can't ask for it." ”
Hearing this, Zhang Shaoping and the two daughters were stunned and looked at Zhou's mother in confusion. Zhou's mother said: "Ah Ping, it is easy to be a man from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift, you can't open this opening!" If there are more than a few such festivals, and you have a few more people who need gifts, wouldn't you give away your entire net worth? ”
Zhang Shaoping was embarrassed to hear it, what does it mean to "can't open this opening", what does it mean to "have a few more people who need to give gifts", isn't this saying that he has a romantic surname, and he will establish ** in the future? "Can't open this opening" is saying that you should take precautions and set rules for your future ** life, right? In the future, the mother-in-law wants to be the queen mother, guard the door for herself, and collect **? Is there such a good thing? It's so grotesque and ridiculous! Zhang Shaoping thought wildly, and always felt that there was something in Zhou's mother's words, but when he tasted it carefully, he couldn't figure it out.
Zhang Shao was peaceful-silver returned to silver, but his movements were not slow, he first showed a teachable expression, and then pretended to be embarrassed and said: "Aunt Zhou, I think you are right, I just don't think about it, it's too reckless!" I change, I resolutely change...... But this car is not allowed to be returned. If you don't want to, throw it in the parking lot, isn't it more wasteful? ”
Zhou Huimin looked at Zhou's mother with a look of longing. Although Mi Xue didn't speak, she was reluctant in her heart, but she felt that what Zhou's mother said was very right, and such an opening must not be opened randomly.
"Xiaomin's car can't be given, let's keep the other two." Mother Zhou hesitated for a moment and said.
Zhou Huimin was not convinced, pouted, and said, "Why? It's not fair. ”
"You can't even drive a car, what do you want a car? Besides, you're still studying, and I won't allow you to learn to drive! Mother Zhou said resolutely.
"I didn't say I wanted to open it, I just watched it."
"No way!"
"Mom, you're quite unreasonable!" Zhou Huimin was not angry, and was aggrieved. She thought, "This is the first Christmas gift from Ah Ping, how can I not want it?"
Zhang Shaoping saw that the atmosphere was very stiff, so he hurriedly came out to play a round, and said with a smile: "That's it, Min'er's car, I'll store it for you first, and I'll give it to you when you have a birthday next year!" Hehehe, don't you like music and play the piano? I even bought you an awesome piano. Moreover, I begged Brother Luo Wen for a long time, and he finally nodded and agreed, willing to accept you as a disciple. ”
"Really? Brother Luo Wen agreed? When Zhou Huimin heard the good news, she was surprised and delighted, for Ferrari cars and the like, she instantly threw them out of the clouds.
"Well, find a time, I'll take you to the door to worship the teacher."
Mi Xue was also happy for Zhou Huimin: "Brother Luo, don't look at it, he has opened a rehearsal club, but the real heir to the mantle is not yet." ”
Mother Zhou looked at all this with a complicated look, except for the car, Zhang Shaoping did other things, she didn't say anything. In fact, she thought so much about Zhang Shaoping, and she didn't have the intention of entrusting her daughter to him in her heart, and it was precisely because she didn't treat herself as an outsider that she dared to pose as an elder.
......
After eating, the group walked out of the box.
"Huh? Da Liu? ”
Zhang Shaoping shouted in surprise.
A couple of men and women walked out of the box not far from the next door, and the woman was still holding a little boy of two or three years old. The man is rough and a little rich, and it is Liu Luanxiong who has had a relationship.
Liu Luanxiong also saw Zhang Shaoping, and immediately laughed and said: "Ah Ping, it's you!" This world is really narrow, and you have to meet an acquaintance at a meal. ”
The two exchanged a few words of greeting, and then each introduced their relatives.
The woman was Liu Luanxiong's wife, Bao Yongqin, a legendary woman, who, like Liu Luanxiong, was a genius in the business world.
The two men walked in front, and Liu Luanxiong said with a low smile: "The means are good, the two beauties, one big and one small, are all submissive by you." Teach me two tricks of the maid, I can't thank you enough. ”
Zhang Shaoping saw that he looked obscene and unbeaten, and wanted to smash it with a punch, yes, it was too annoying! Zhang Shaoping said with fierce contempt: "The brain is full of yellow brains!" Stay with you for a while, my pure triangular relationship has been yellowed by you. ”
"Pick! How dare you say that? Liu Luanxiong can be regarded as having a closer understanding of this guy's shamelessness.
Outside the hotel, the streets are full of people and traffic, many of whom are students and teenagers.
"Tonight is Christmas Eve, remember to wear a condom during the party, otherwise, make an appointment with the doctor as soon as possible, so as not to be in a hurry." Liu Luanxiong squeezed his eyebrows at Zhang Shaoping for a while, revealing a look that a man understands.
Christmas, for most young people, is completely focused on how to spend time with their lovers, or find lovers, or confess to their lovers and other love matters, just like another Valentine's Day, but also make many young people "taste the forbidden fruit for the first time", and can't help but have surname behavior. Therefore, Hong Kong has the saying of "Christmas Eve, ** Night". Every year after Christmas, the Family Planning Association of Hong Kong receives many calls asking for help.
Of course, Zhang Shaoping understood what Liu Luanxiong was referring to, but he didn't have time to pay attention to Liu Luanxiong's ridicule now, but said with a solemn expression: "Da Liu, I'm afraid I'm going to trouble you, help me take care of my sisters and them!" With that, he jumped to the bar next to him.
"What's wrong?" Liu Luanxiong asked anxiously, but saw that Zhang Shaoping had already rushed over in three or two steps. Liu Luanxiong was so anxious that he stomped his feet, gritted his teeth, and said to Bao Yongqin: "Ah Qin, you take everyone to get in the car first, wait with the fire on, and when you see us rushing out, you immediately accept us and escape." ”
said that Zhang Shaoping rushed to the bar, turned around and jumped directly to the back alley of the bar.
There are a lot of debris and garbage piled up in the back alley, covering it, and faint figures can still be seen, and the sound of punching and kicking can be heard. Zhang Shaoping casually picked up an empty beer bottle, and then crept forward with a cat.
"Pick! Big star! Big stars are amazing, aren't they? Dare to rob a woman with uncle! The man said arrogantly, "Give you a chance to choose, one is to leave Lianmei, and the other is that I will ask the bodyguards to beat you to cripple." ”
The beaten man refused to give in, and shouted: "Chen Chaowu, you turtle bastard, you can't fight for me, so you will come to Yin, right?" If you kind of you're going to kill me, otherwise, don't think I'll give up on Zhou Runfa! ”
"You're still stubborn, aren't you? Give me a hard beating, as long as you don't kill it, if you are disabled, I will be responsible! Chen Chaowu had a gloomy face and commanded viciously.
The three bodyguards who got the order immediately started to be ruthless again.
When Zhang Shaoping heard this, he was furious, and Nima's began to snatch women with open fire! He rushed out with an arrow step, and smashed the wine bottle at Chen Chaowu's head, the bottle shattered, and the glass splashed everywhere. Chen Chaowu felt a headache in his head, dizziness, a scoop on his skull, and blood gushed out.
