51 Landlords' Society
An Zi Yuan, a restaurant on the first floor.
Huang Shitong took the wine decanter in the nanny's hand, and the treasures that he had taken out of the wine cellar had already been opened and put aside for ten minutes.
He helped Li Shaoze and Yazi pour the wine glasses in front of them to full seven points, and then put down the wine vessel and asked with a smile: "Aze, I heard that you are very good at playing cards?" ”
"Uncle Tong, it's just entertainment, you want to be with you at any time."
Li Shaoze picked up the wine glass, stood up without humility or arrogance, and the three of them touched a glass before he began to taste the wine.
This bottle of wine must be expensive, but it doesn't taste very good for him. Maybe it's because I've never drunk such a punctual red wine before, but I feel that the sweetness in the wine is too high, and it has a slightly astringent taste.
It shouldn't be a matter of quality, the biggest possibility is that there is not enough decanting time.
But he doesn't pay attention to these details, instead focusing on the starters and main dishes on the table.
Because Hong Kong Island is currently covered by the queen, the upper class likes to feast guests with Western food.
Li Shaoze is not interested in salads, but he is very interested in foie gras and turkey on the table. Because he used to eat Western food, it was usually a self-service steak of 51 people on the street, and he really had never eaten this kind of high-quality food.
So while chatting, Li Shaoze ate happily.
As for how to chat with my uncle? Of course, it's to take some connotative jokes and praise the same uncle. A few words made Uncle Tong laugh, and he didn't have to think about it at all.
And it has the talk bonus of later generations, but it also made Uncle Tong nod secretly, feeling that this bad guy is not a fool who can only fight.
Whether it is vision or insight, it is quite bright, and over time, it may not be a character.
In the middle of the meal, Uncle Tong put the steak knife in his hand on the right edge of the plate, and suddenly asked, "Aze, have you considered moving in?" ”
Li Shaoze was stunned for a moment, he didn't plug the door upside down, what happened when he moved into the villa? What's more, living on the top of the mountain, going to the police station in the future will be even more tiring.
So although Uncle Tong was very kind, he still refused with a smile: "Thank you, Uncle Tong, but it is not okay to go to the police station on the top of the mountain." ”
"Daddy......"
Bud feigned displeasure and put down the knife and fork in his hand.
She knew that her father was well-intentioned, but she also had to consider Aze's face. She is ready to live in Li Shaoze's old house, and now she is naturally helping her husband speak.
Since Huang Shitong passed away from his wife, he really had no choice but to raise his hand and surrender: "Okay, you remember to come back to see me often." ”
"I just recently heard that there is a piece of land in the Lu family in the New Territories, and I will find an opportunity to buy it. Then you will get married, and I will build you a new house. ”
Hearing that Daddy didn't force it, Bud smiled and raised his glass and said, "Thank you, Daddy." ”
"Thank you, uncle." Li Shaoze didn't take this sentence too seriously, anyway, as long as he didn't force him, how could the old man be happy.
After dinner, the family sat on the observation deck and blew the wind.
Looking at the sky and the moon and stars, and the sea was sweet and quiet, Huang Shitong was smoking a cigar, and suddenly received a phone call, walked to the hall and picked up the vest, turned to Li Shaoze and said, "Aze, go out with me to play cards." ”
"Just introduce a few uncles to you."
Li Shaoze set his eyes on Yazi, who smiled and put on his coat for him: "Go ahead, my dad always likes to play cards at this point." ”
"Okay, wait until I get back."
patting the back of his hand on his shoulder, Li Shaoze put on his coat and went out with his uncle.
……
The Peninsula Hotel, driveway in front of the lobby.
A Mercedes-Benz slowly stopped, and Li Shaoze and Huang Shitong got out of the car through the doors on both sides.
In this era, many luxury hotels have been built on Hong Kong Island, such as the former Cointreau Hotel and so on. But the most famous is the Peninsula Hotel, known as the "Lady of the Far East".
Opened in the early 90th century, The Peninsula has undergone numerous expansions and is one of the most luxurious hotels in Asia.
After Li Shaoze walked into the hotel, he couldn't help but feel extravagant, and the decoration in every corner was highlighting the pattern.
"When I was a stockbroker, I used to play cards here with a few of my peers and talk about the current situation. During the stock market crash in '73, we joined forces to repel the invasion of foreign capital and saved many good Chinese-funded companies. ”
"To be the only place in Asia where the financial markets are held."
"Since then, a few of our old brothers have chartered a suite here, and we have nothing to do here to play cards."
Huang Shitong walked into the elevator and pressed the button on the twelfth floor. At the same time, in an unhurried tone, he narrated the origin of this game.
After Li Shaoze listened, his brows jumped, and he felt faintly in his heart.
The water in this game is only a little deep.
"Uncle Tong, what do you usually play?"
"Fight the landlord." Huang Shitong took Li Shaoze and walked to the last box on the twelfth floor. In the large box, there are sofas and wine cabinets, and there is an observation deck outside, and a small card table is placed in the middle.
On the table were two unopened cards, as well as four uncles in suits and leather shoes. Seeing Huang Shitong coming with a junior, they couldn't help but feel very interested, and everyone focused their eyes on Li Shaoze.
"Aze, this is Uncle Xiang, Uncle Chen."
Seeing Li Shaoze greeting them, Sima Xiang and Chen Zhan both smiled and nodded slightly.
"Uncle Yun, Uncle Dong."
When the two of them were introduced, Mai Shengyun and Lin Rundong were expressionless, took a puff of cigars, and quietly glanced at each other. They feel that they are looking at this junior, and they don't know if they have seen it somewhere, and they feel a little familiar.
After Li Shaoze finished greeting him, Huang Shitong introduced to everyone: "My son and nephew are on an errand in the Western District, and they are very good at playing cards. ”
"Oh? Let's take a fight. Sima Xiang walked to the table and sat down, took the poker apart, and faced Li Shaoze's face.
Li Shaoze felt that he had to be humble, reached out to take the cards, and took the initiative to help his uncle shuffle the cards. Unexpectedly, he was blocked by Sima Xiang with his hand: "Hehe, do you like shuffling cards very much?" ”
"I like it."
Li Shaoze withdrew his hand and replied with a smile on his face.
Unexpectedly, Sima Xiang shook his head: "I don't like shuffling the cards the most." ”
"As soon as the card is shuffled, I don't know whose king is. Even if I want to wash it, I have to wash it myself. ”
Sima Xiang was very kind, and the speed of shuffling was also very slow, but the sharpness in his eyes made Li Shaoze feel shocked.
……
Today's hand didn't last long.
Huang Shitong's purpose in bringing Li Shaoze here may be to let him see his true energy. However, in the eyes of other uncles, Li Shaoze is at best an unknown junior, and he wants to play cards with them at the same table, but he is not qualified.
In the end, only Uncle Xiang sat down and fought with Huang Shitong and Li Shaoze. After the fight, Huang Shitong poured two glasses of wine and asked Li Shaoze to accompany him to the balcony to chat.
"It's a good fight." Huang Shitong took a sip of wine and leaned against the railing.
Li Shaoze just lost both hands, and at this time he could only smile apologetically: "I lost, in terms of card skills, I still can't beat my predecessors." ”
"It's okay, fight more in the future, just get used to it." Huang Shitong took a sentence and opened a new topic: "Aze, I plan to let Yazi resign from the police station." ”
"Resign?"
When it comes to letting Yazi resign, it was a bit unexpected by Li Shaoze.
Because he was the one who was suspended for investigation, there was no problem with the bud.
What's more, in the police station, the buds are not vases, not only can they handle administration, but they also perform very well when they participate in operations. It can definitely be called, and it can be written and martial.
When Li Shaoze wanted to ask, he was blown by the wind and came to his senses: "Uncle Tong, you don't like Yazi to be a policeman." ”
"Well, being a police officer has always been her favorite, and I can't help her." Huang Shitong nodded and put down the cigar in his hand: "But it didn't matter before, now that you are procrastinating, it is not suitable for a police station." ”
"Now it's just right to let her come out and accept my business and exercise in advance."
"After all, the police station is a government department, and it is impossible to open a mom-and-pop shop."
As soon as Li Shaoze heard the last sentence, he knew that Yazi's resignation was indeed the best choice.
There is even a large part of the reason because of his appearance.
Otherwise, with the support of her uncle, it is impossible for Yazi to be a small police officer all the time. I believe that in the police force, you can go to a certain height.
But now that Li Shaoze has appeared, one person is destined to leave the police force.
Uncle Tong knows very well that a man cannot have a career, and the last person to leave the police force is a bud. What's more, Uncle Tong himself doesn't like it, and Yazi works as an errand at the police station.
"I've already told Yazi about this, and she's thinking about it very clearly, but I have to listen to your opinion."
"If you agree, I will help Yazi open a brokerage house first." Huang Shitong patted Li Shaoze on the shoulder: "In the future, let Yazi come out first to take over my shift, and I will fully support you in your development in the police force." ”
"Okay." Li Shaoze groaned twice and clinked glasses lightly with his uncle.
Will the landlord add him? It doesn't matter, in the future, there will be a place for the Hong Kong security meeting.
