Chapter 37: The Birthday Party (Part II)
"Ah Chu, happy birthday." A man in his thirties with a rich face walked over and congratulated with a smile.
"Hehe, Mr. Liu, welcome to the contemptible banquet, I was afraid that you would not come."
"How could it not come? If there is a good thing, how can I be absent, let alone my friend's birthday? The man feigned anger, and then changed to a Maitreya-like smile.
The two raised their glasses and took a sip each.
Liu Ruanxiong, founded the company with friends in seven or eight years, the main business is the production of ceiling fans, and in just three years, he has created hundreds of millions of assets, known as 'Fan Liu'. However, Li Xuechu, who came from later generations, heard more about his other two nicknames, 'stock market sniper' and 'actress killer'. The previous nickname started in the late 80s, Da Liu began to enter the stock market in 85 years, and unlike other people's stock speculation methods, Da Liu specialized in sniping at companies whose major shareholders had unstable controlling stakes, and made a lot of money and slipped away. He has successively sniped the Zhuang family's Nengda Technology, Li Zhaoji Gas and the Kadoorie family's big hotel, and the original major shareholder could only buy back the shares controlled by Da Liu at a high price in order to prevent the company from changing hands. In just a few years, Liu Ruanxiong's net worth has increased several times.
And the name of 'Actress Killer' comes from his generous efforts to pick up girls. It is not new for the rich in Hong Kong to play with actresses, especially in the 90s, there are only a handful of actresses who have nothing to do with the rich, but no one has played as big as this guy. His generous Cheng dΓΉ is staggering, either a famous car or a luxury house, and has raided more than 20 actresses, and he never hides it, making it known to the whole city. Among them, the most famous are Guan Zhilin and Li Jiaxin, two actresses who were almost the most famous actresses in Xiangjiang in the 90s were smashed into bed by him in the same year for tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars, and Da Liu, who has two beauties, also has several other celebrity 'girlfriends', which can be regarded as using money to ridicule the Xiangjiang entertainment circle.
Of course, none of these have been born yet, and they have nothing to do with Li Xuechu. In addition to the deep-rooted families, other wealthy people in the rich circle of Hong Kong seem to rotate quickly, and the ups and downs are like a roller coaster. Many of the now famous tycoons have never heard of them in later generations, but Da Liu is still one of the top ten richest people in Xiangjiang in later generations. This ability has to be learned, after all, although I know some 'big things' in the future life can take advantage of the opportunity to make money, real kung fu really can't compare with the other party, if you have the opportunity, you can benefit each other.
Both of them are interested in making friends with each other, so naturally they have a very harmonious conversation. The more Liu Ruanxiong talked, the more he felt that the young man in front of him was not simple, and he had a calmness that did not match his age in his speech and demeanor, and he also had his own unique views on some economics and current affairs, and he would not follow the opinions of others.
"Why are you talking so happily?" An old man in his early sixties joined in, followed by a beautiful girl of about sixteen, dressed in a white dress, with a pouting face full of reluctance.
"Boss Lin." The two said hello.
"Hehe, why is the boss so angry, and there are so many bosses here. If you don't dislike the two of you, you might as well call me Limber. "The old man's name is Lin Yanqing, he is a well-known banker in Xiangjiang, he opened a medium-sized bank in Kowloon, and he has saved a net worth of one billion yuan in more than ten years of operation. By the way, this is my eldest granddaughter Lin Yujia, who usually studies in school, and today I took her out to see the world. Jia'er, say hello to everyone. β
"Hello Mr. Liu, hello Mr. Li." Lin Yujia greeted softly unhappily, and looked at Li Xuechu's eyes slightly unnatural. Grandpa didn't say anything when he pulled himself out, and now he doesn't need to say that he knows what is going on, and he has experienced this kind of thing. was his sister-in-law in her twenties, and as long as there was something young and handsome in Xiangjiang, her grandfather always wanted to pull her out and put her on a show. And he watched the excitement from the sidelines, and secretly commented on the man with a few little sisters. Now that my sister-in-law is married, it is finally her turn, and she feels very uncomfortable.
"Hehe, Lin Bo is hiding so deeply, I didn't see such a beautiful granddaughter until today." Liu Ruanxiong glanced at Li Xuechu teasingly, and said with a smile: "I almost forgot that Ah Chu still has a lot of people to entertain today, let's talk about it here first, and we'll talk about it next time." β
Seeing that Liu Ruanxiong was 'interesting' and left, Old Man Lin also chatted with Li Xuechu with great satisfaction.
"Xiaoyou is really young and promising, he only started from scratch at the age of seventeen to earn this family business, and he is also outstanding in Xiangjiang."
Li Xuechu hurriedly said: "How dare I boast in front of Lin Bo with this little belongings, not to mention that it is less than a fraction of Lin Bo, and it is far from Da Liu Bi." β
Old man Lin shook his head and said, "When I was seventeen, I was still a junior in a small restaurant, and I was able to have this family business because of the help of nobles. Xiaoyou can do this in less than a year on his own, although it cannot be said that there is no in Xiangjiang, it is indeed one of the few. Jia'er, you have to learn from Mr. Li, he is only two months older than you. The latter words were said to Lin Yujia.
"Miss Lin is almost seventeen too?" Li Xuechu asked in surprise, and at first he thought that he was less than sixteen. Lin Yujia nodded unnaturally, and then turned her face to the side.
"Hehe, my granddaughter is about the same as Xiaoyou, and she looks younger than her actual age." Old man Lin smiled: "It's Jia'er's seventeenth birthday in two months, and you have to save face by inviting your little friends to participate then." β
"Definitely, definitely." Can you say no?
Hearing the answer he wanted, Lin Yanqing nodded and smiled with satisfaction: "Okay, my old man won't talk more about you young people, I'll go find a few old guys, and Jia'er will trouble Xiaoyou to take care of it." β
After saying that, he ignored his granddaughter's protesting eyes and went to his own devices.
Li Xuechu looked at the girl who was a little at a loss, and didn't know what to say for a while.
"Let's walk around." After being cold for a while, Li Xuechu said.
Lin Yujia was thinking about how to find a reason to leave to avoid this embarrassing atmosphere, and after listening to Li Xuechu's advice, he nodded and agreed.
Li Xuechu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, led the girl to walk around the hall casually, and talked to the girl from time to time to say a few words, Lin Yujia's answer was always very short, and the reply was always only ten words. After walking around for half a circle, it looks like it's going to be cold again.
It seems that this Lin Bo's family is still more traditional, and this Miss Lin's life is a bit like the family children in the Republic of China.
"Hey, there's a piano here." Li Xuechu was thinking wildly, and Lin Yujia said suddenly.
Following Lin Yujia's gaze, he really saw a piano in the corner.
"Does Miss Lin play the piano?" Finally something to say.
Lin Yujia hesitated for a while, and said embarrassedly: "I just started learning, but I can't learn well." β
"I've been studying for almost half a year, why don't I teach you?" I learned the piano by the way when I learned to arrange, Li Xuechu didn't know if it was the credit of the optimization of the body when he crossed, and he always learned things quickly, but now he sees that the piano is a little itchy, and he has only played it in the teacher and a few students before, and he has not tried it in public.
"Half a year?" Lin Yujia looked at him in surprise, he dared to come out and play after only half a year of study, this guy is too bold, right? I've been studying for almost a year, but I'm still playing jerky, even in front of my family.
"Okay, you can play and see." Lin Yujia smiled and showed two little tiger teeth, ready to 'observe' his piano skills, except for some very talented people, there are really no ones who want to learn anything in half a year. Lin Yujia was a little malicious and wanted to see Li Xuechu lose face, so as to make up for the imbalance that he was forced to 'sell' by his grandfather.
Li Xuechu didn't know what the girl thought, but sat down directly with a smile. Many people also noticed Li Xuechu's movements, and they stopped talking and looked at it with interest, after all, they are the protagonists of this banquet, and it is strange that they are not concerned.
"Does Miss Lin understand Chinese?" Li Xuechu asked.
"I can understand it, but I can't say it."
Li Xuechu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, there are really few Cantonese songs that he can sing. It's better to play the piano with a song, it's too monotonous.
Take a deep breath, adjust your sitting position, and play a few keys first to try the feel, which is not bad.
The hand falls gently on the piano keys.
Lin Yujia was stunned, he couldn't see that he was really playing very well, no wonder he dared to make a move, but did he really only study for half a year, and he felt no worse than his teacher.
Looking at Li Xuechu's handsome and handsome face, and his focused eyes when playing the piano, Lin Yujia turned a little red for a while, as if it was not bad to come over.
The prelude didn't last long, and soon Li Xuechu began to sing.
"The butterfly rubs its eyes a few times and then learns to fly,
The night sky is sprinkled with stars, but a few will fall to the ground.
I fly but when you fall, very close and still hear breathing,
I'm sorry I didn't catch you.
You don't know why I left you, and I insist that I can't say let you cry
Your teardrops are like a downpour of rain that falls all over the ground and is clear in your heart
You don't know why I'm so ruthless, hovering in the sky you can't see, there are more things you don't know......"
After a little nervousness at the beginning, Li Xuechu let go, singing the song of this later life, vaguely seemed to return to the 'past', thinking of being unaccompanied after coming to this world, his voice unconsciously carried a little sadness, his parents are now in the mainland, but it is impossible to recognize each other anymore.
Flick the last button and the song is over. The mood that I wanted to show off in front of everyone earlier dissipated, and I was happy for a while.
After a few seconds of pause, a round ......of applause erupted.
Tan Yonglin came over with a smile and praised: "I didn't expect you to play the piano so well, and you can sing well." Chuzai, you should really try to be a singer, otherwise such a good talent will be wasted. β
The girls who had been scattered all over the place gathered around. When I first came here, I met several people who felt very embarrassed, and secretly complained that their parents were troublesome. However, seeing that Li Xuechu is very handsome, some girls really want to come forward to get to know each other, but they are a little embarrassed to each other, so the old man Lin, who relies on the old and sells the old, pulled his granddaughter to take the lead. Now is the time to take the opportunity to talk to you.
"Chuzai, you sing so well, did you make up this song yourself? I've never heard of it. β
"Hee-hee, you look so handsome playing the piano."
"Can you teach me how to play the piano? I really want to learn. β
ββ¦β¦β
A few girls, you and I said one by one, but the previous embarrassment was gone, which made Li Xuechu struggling to cope, and he forgot all about the sadness for a while.
Looking at Li Xuechu, who was surrounded by everyone, Lin Yujia somehow became a little surprised, as if his things had been snatched away.
After dealing with everyone for a long time, looking at Lin Yujia who was still standing next to him, Li Xuechu was a little proud.
"How's it going, it's okay to play, right?"
"Hmm." Lin Yujia asked, "You really only studied for half a year?" β
"yes, it's a fake." Li Xuechu said with a smile.
Looking at Li Xuechu's face, Lin Yujia suddenly became a little flustered, bowed her head and said, "It's time for me to go to find grandpa." β
Li Xuechu looked at Lin Yujia who suddenly turned away in amazement, not knowing what the situation was.
After walking a few steps, Lin Yujia turned his head again and asked, "Will you come over on my birthday?" β
"Well, of course, I've said yes." Li Xuechu said.
"Don't forget to bring a gift when the time comes!" Lin Yujia said with a smile like a flower. The two shallow dimples with small tiger teeth seemed to be shining in the lights of the banquet, and Li Xuechu stood on the spot.
As if sensing Li Xuechu's gaffe, Lin Yujia smiled embarrassedly and smugly, turned around and left.
"Bye-bye." Lin Yujia shook her hand with her back to her.
"Bye-bye." Looking at the figure of the girl leaving, Li Xuechu lowered his head and thought about it, and smiled bitterly.
Speaking of people, who are actually almost thirty years old, their bodies have become younger, and it seems that their mental age has also become smaller.
Seventeen years old, the spring of life.
People seem to be more likely to spring (river crabs), too.
Thinking about it self-deprecatingly, but the smile on his face couldn't go away.
