The Xu family's assets may not be too much in Xiangjiang, but they are very qualified.

As Du Yuesheng's money bag, Xu Lao still has a large number of protégés and believers in Xiangjiang after Du Yue's death.

However, later on, he rarely took care of the affairs of the rivers and lakes, and only concurrently served as the president of the Mingzhou Fellow Association.

After the reform, he was the first batch of patriotic overseas Chinese to return to the mainland to visit relatives, and he was also the first batch of wealthy people who donated money free of charge.

After the death of Xu Lao in 82, the Xu family was completely whitewashed.

Xu Chen Aifen's husband is the only son, and he has two younger sisters, one of whom is in politics and is developing very well.

This is also the main reason why he values the Xu family so much with the memory of his previous life, in order to choose a suitable school, he has studied the directors of several schools carefully.

Zhao Shanhe didn't want to expect them to help anything, the reason why he valued them was that he wanted to use their social circle as a platform to integrate with their circle.

Mr. Shao and Mr. Huo in this circle are all famous patriotic businessmen.

Xu Chen Aifen has three children, all of whom are at least in their thirties, her daughter married abroad, and her two sons are in Xiangjiang, all of whom have already started a family.

The two sons gave birth to five more children, and now the family of eleven people lives in this big house.

After Chen Lao followed Du Yuesheng to Xiangjiang, he gave up the original paper industry and became a shareholder in a bank.

After his death, Mr. Xu inherited his shares and assumed the position of vice chairman of the bank's board of directors.

Their two children are now working in banks, and the family is a financial elite.

Because it is an old-school family, Xu Chen Aifen has no status in the family before, so she is committed to being a good principal.

Relying on Zhao Shanhe's operation during this time, she has doubled the pocket money she took out, and she has been doing her best in front of her husband recently.

The Xu family is an old-school family and attaches great importance to etiquette. Since he has already picked up Zhao Shanhe's family to come to the house as guests, he has even handed it over.

They take good care of the emotions of their guests and do not feel detached or depressing.

The age groups of the two families are actually a little staggered, Xu Dong is sixty this year, and Xu Tai is fifty-seven, but because Zhao Shanhe called Xu Tai Chen, they are the same generation as the forty-two-year-old Zhao's mother.

Their eldest son, Xu Zhiyong, is thirty-six years old, only six years younger than Zhao's mother, and now he is a generation lower.

Zhao Shanhe is only sixteen years old, but he has a relationship with him.

If it weren't for Zhao Shanhe's ability, not to mention that the other party had turned it in, it would be difficult to enter this door.

Zhao Shanhe's social skills are okay, although he relied on technology to become the deputy chief engineer of the sub-bureau in a large enterprise in his previous life, he also experienced a lot of social fields.

It took him more than ten years to quickly find his place in an unfamiliar situation.

This is so important that many people can't find their place in their lifetime.

At such times, it will make a person seem at a loss and out of place.

Zhao's mother and Xiao Stammering have such a performance, but there are only two families at today's banquet, and the other party takes care of their shortcomings, Xu Zhiyong's wife, Xu Zhiliang's wife, all take them as the center and take care of all their emotions.

And Zhao Shanhe was still very comfortable when he saw this scene. He can not care about these false courtesies, but in this world, Zhao's mother is the closest person to him, and he will be happy when she is respected.

Xu Dong is not a talkative person, he doesn't talk much, and he observes Zhao Shanhe more often.

The topic is mainly controlled by Xu Chen Aifen, and her two sons are being praised.

But what surprised them was that no matter what topic they talked about, Zhao Shanhe could pick it up.

Even the Xiangjiang horse racing, which he doesn't know anything about, can learn from the horse culture of the British Commonwealth and learn from them without showing timidity.

The horse culture in Xiangjiang is very strong, and the Xiangjiang Jockey Club is the largest force in Xiangjiang, horse racing, and the gambling culture stretched out by the horse racing is spread to every corner of Xiangjiang.

Zhao Shanhe made no secret of his lack of knowledge of horse culture from the bottom, but he made up for his shortcomings from another angle.

Of course, the dinner was very rich, they had two chefs at home, both northern and southern cuisines, and there was no shortage of high-end ingredients, and they made a large table of sumptuous dinners.

It wasn't until they were full of food and drink, leaving the woman and the child to chat in the large living room, that they moved to the recreation room on the first floor and continued the conversation.

The conversation before the meal is small talk, and the conversation after the meal is related to the relationship between the two families in the future.

Like Pak Ka Road, Machesin Gap Road is a luxury residential area on the top of the mountain, and both roads are almost up and down, overlooking the entire Hong Kong Island and Victoria Bay.

The first floor is directly connected to the small garden outside, there is a ballroom, a billiard room, a cigar room, and the small garden outside can also be used for small gatherings.

Zhao Shanhe and Xu Zhiliang had a game of billiards, both of them had good skills, although they were not professional, they played back and forth.

The game is not over yet, and Xu Dongcai, who has changed into civilian clothes, is late, and behind him, followed by Xu Chen Aifen, who is full of smiles.

Seeing his smile, Zhao Shanhe knew that they must have had a discussion, and the topic of discussion must have been him, and the effect was not bad.

Of course, Zhao Shanhe doesn't particularly care, he has enough self-confidence, even if the Xu family doesn't entrap him, he won't care very much.

In a few months, he will shock the whole of Hong Kong.

Xu Donghui changed into civilian clothes, which means that he has recognized Zhao Shanhe as a close person, standing at the table and watching Zhao Shanhe finish the game, and then he spoke. "Ah He, do you want to continue playing, or do you want to talk to me, an old man?"

Zhao Shanhe put the club on the table and said with a smile: "The ball can be played at any time, but the opportunity to ask Xu Dong for advice is not very common!" ”

Xu Dong smiled: "The old man has been in vain for a few years, just call me Uncle Xu in the future." ”

Zhao Shanhe is as good as a stream. "Uncle Xu."

Moved to the floor-to-ceiling windows, which were blocked by trees, and could only see the light reflected in the city below the mountain, but there was a different artistic conception.

"What a place!"

Xu Dong said with a smile: "Now the Eagle Country is panicking, as long as there is money, no matter how good the place is, there is hope to start." ”

Zhao Shanhe smiled and nodded. "In another 12 years, this place will become our Chinese territory."

Xu Dong looked at Zhao Shanhe's young face in a trance, and after a deep sigh, he asked, "Listen to your aunt, Ah He is a nationalist?" ”

Zhao Shanhe shook his head and said: "I can't say that, I'm not interested in politics, I just live in a colony, and in this rootless land, I look forward to the future." ”

Xu Dong smiled and said: "The time is not ripe now, about these words, it is better to say less in the future." After all, in the past ten years, the situation will become more and more serious. ”

"I understand, the reason why I deliberately said this in front of Aunt Chen is also because of my demands."

Xu Dong nodded. "Please."

Xu Chen Aifen brought over a few cups of tea, her two sons hurriedly took it, and Zhao Shanhe also got up to thank him and took the tea.

Xu Chen Aifen smiled: "You're welcome, just treat my family as your home in the future." ”

He gave the last cup to Xu Dong, and sat down beside him.

Zhao Shanhe sat back in his place and considered his words, obviously not so sharp. "I need to actively integrate into the current upper class of Hong Kong, because I know very well that only the approval of the upper class can create a stable environment for me.

However, this does not mean that I approve of everyone so much, and if I want to be my friend, not everyone can do it. I'd rather have friends who are few and can be trusted. ”

Xu Dong asked: "Where does your self-confidence come from, even if you become a millionaire this year, this asset is nothing in Xiangjiang." ”

Zhao Shanhe pointed to his head and said, "Manpower is inherently poor, but wisdom has no limits. Since April last year, when I made up my mind, I have been analysing the road ahead.

To be honest, I didn't choose Queen's College because of how good this school is, but mainly because of Aunt Chen.

Because I know that your families from Zhejiang and Shanghai still have some feelings of family and country, and have a sense of identity with their Chinese ethnicity.

Of course, this is not regional discrimination, there are also many patriots in other places, but there are more people who are hungry for profit.

I want to blend in with you, but I don't want to get involved in too many external factors, and get a relatively peaceful environment. ”

Xu Dong asked, "Then how can you prove that you have the strength to win over?" ”

Zhao Shanhe laughed, and did not blame Xu Dong for being condescending in his words.

He is indeed too young, and his current foundation is too weak to be truly recognized.

Zhao Shanhe said: "Uncle Xu, I expressed my dissent at the beginning, just to be open and honest with you, so that you can know what to know when you help me. I'm definitely not going to start with a big mouth......

What I would like to hear more than the word co-optation is cooperation. I'm not asking you to introduce me to more resources, more relationships, right now. At the very least, it will be until the end of this year, when I have proven myself.

That's the end of this matter for now, and there is no need to go any further......"

Xu Dong pondered for a while and asked, "You helped your Aunt Chen earn hundreds of thousands, but you only asked for so much?" ”

"He who knows me says I'm worried, and he who doesn't know me says what I want? Uncle Xu, you don't know what I want! ”

This sentence is a little excessive, but it can show the sharpness of young people.

Of course, it was a little embarrassing for Xudong, but Xu Chen Aifen was still sitting next to him.

She scolded with a smile: "Speak seriously, you are still my student now......"

Zhao Shanhe got off the donkey and hurriedly begged for mercy. "Yes, yes, it's me who is arrogant. Uncle Xu, I came back from the Seoul competition in May, how about we discuss the next step of cooperation? ”

Xu Dong is sixty years old, and he feels Zhao Shanhe's sharpness, but he will not be angry because of a word. He nodded and changed the subject and asked, "Are you confident in the competition?" ”

Zhao Shanhe smiled. "Of course."
