043: Reception

"I want to hold my grandson!" Zhang Wanhua, who was having lunch, suddenly put down the dishes and chopsticks and said coldly.

Xiao Tang, who was feasting, had bulging cheeks, and a mouthful of rice sprayed out directly, and the whole person was choked lightly, this reason was too strong, and he couldn't resist it for a while.

Today's Xiao Mansion. It was through Russell to help rent a mid-levels villa for his mother, although the stock market crash in 73 years has come to an end, but the economic depression on Hong Kong Island is inevitable, after the "East Star Daily" was sold by Xiao Tang, he bought the villa for his mother as soon as possible, spending more than one million Hong Kong dollars, which is also a bottom-up, and then I am afraid that I will not find such a cheap single-family villa, let alone a place like Mid-Levels.

Feeling that the atmosphere had changed, Xiao Tang pretended to cough twice, and then wanted to leave the table to drink water, and escaped by the water.

Unexpectedly, his mother Zhang Wanhua had already calculated his careful thoughts, and her face suddenly turned cold, and she said with a big threat: "You stop for me." ”

Xiao Tang stiffened when he got up, smiled wryly, and said, "Hmm! Feels so much better. ”

Then he said with some admiration: "Grandma, you are still good at your craftsmanship, the rice you make is so delicious, and you don't click your throat!" ”

"Whoa!" Mother Zhang Wanhua's cold face was completely uncontrollable, she glanced at her son helplessly, and scolded with a smile: "Don't divert from my topic, you decrepit boy." ”

"Huh!" Xiao Tang scratched his head and said with a smile: "How can it!" I really feel that Grandma, your cooking is delicious, and the dishes are more to my liking than those big hotels. ”

"Really?" Mother Zhang Wanhua was also relieved to praise her son, the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, and a smile also appeared in the corners of her eyes that were full of wind and frost and erosion of time, and her original expression softened, and she said with a smile: "If you think it's delicious, eat more, if it's not enough, I'll make you another meal tomorrow." ”

"Hmm!" Xiao Tang nodded heavily, and then began to hold the bowl of rice again, praying in his heart, "Don't think about it, don't think about it." ”

As if the god of fate heard Xiao Tang's prayer, Xiao's mother didn't speak again in the following time, but when Xiao Tang finished eating the rice in the bowl and was a little eager to leave, he was stopped by his mother again, and said with rare seriousness: "Tang Zai, did you listen to Grandma's words?" ”

It was the first time for Xiao Tang to see his mother so serious, and he was inevitably a little uneasy in his heart, but this time his mother was obviously serious.

"Two lives as a human being, can't you escape this catastrophe after all?" Xiao Tang sighed in his heart.

However, he still asked tentatively, "Grandma, why don't I bring one back for you from the outside?" ”

"Is that your cub?" Zhang Wanhua asked sharply.

"Ahem! Cough! Xiao Tang hid the embarrassment on her face, she didn't even have a girlfriend, so she listened to him explain: "It's okay to adopt one, I'm not even eighteen years old this year, I'm too young, when the time comes, it's very appropriate to bring it back, whether it's a son or a grandson, of course, if you really want to be a grandson, I also admit it!" ”

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Zhang Wanhua was angry by his son's words, the first Buddha ascended to heaven, the second Buddha was angry, picked up the chopsticks and was about to correct this idiot son's family law, Xiao Tang pretended to dodge a few times, and was beaten to give his mother anger, he also knew that his mother was bored at home alone and wanted to have a child to accompany her, so as to make the family more lively, but this kind of assignment of tasks is the same, he really can't accept it.

"You've been running outside for so long, isn't there a girl you want to date?" Zhang Wanhua looked at her son a little unwillingly and asked.

Spreading his hands, Xiao Tang smiled bitterly: "Mo! I have a day except for rest, and I am working, where does the time come from. ”

Xiao's mother frowned, obviously very dissatisfied with Xiao Tang's words, and said a little arrogantly: "I don't care about those, your company is also sold now, and you have a lot of time, if it doesn't work, I'll call Jingling back to find your neighbor Aunt Zhao?" ”

Xiao Tang's face changed: "Grandma, I can't help it!" ”

Xiao Tang was anxious, he was a little afraid of his mother's chaotic mandarin duck score.

"So what do you say?" Zhang Wanhua also turned her face with her son at this time, "At the beginning, you kept saying that you were obedient, but only a few days have passed, and grandma asked for one thing, and you didn't agree?" ”

Xiao Tang froze suddenly, he still remembered his mother's appearance when he just came back from the mainland, it was really distressing, he was trying to appease his mother at that time, but he had all the good things to say, but now that the problem is coming, he is a little difficult to explain.

Seeing his mother's red eyes, Xiao Tang felt uncomfortable, he was too difficult, and he had to carry too much at the age of seventeen.

Listening to her mother's chatter, she said: "The Xiao family is the only seedling for you, if you have something long, how can you go to see the ancestors of the Xiao family?" How do you have the face to meet your dead old bean? ”

"Come on, the height has increased again." Xiao Tang felt bitter in his heart, he knew that his mother was talking about his loss of contact at the beginning, but he was told that he had no temper, and he talked with affection and reason for a while.

Xiao Tang sat on the sofa in the living room like a good baby, listening to his mother's teachings, not daring to be disobedient, and tried several times without giving up, but the topic was not transferred, and he gave up.

Fortunately, his mother didn't push him too quickly, but she was stimulated by the last incident, and she was always worried that something would happen to her son and leave her alone.

In fact, Xiao Tang understood why this was in his heart, so he hated the Ma family even more at this time, Xiao Tang could not care about others dealing with him, but it was obvious that the impact of this matter had already involved his family.

Xiao Tang really didn't dare to think that if he came back later, the woman in front of him who had worked hard all her life would go crazy.

It's just that when he thinks of the intertwined power of the Ma clan in Xiangjiang, he can't help frowning, fighting the tiger and not killing him will hurt him, which is also the reason why Xiao Tang didn't let Da Fei stand up for him at the beginning.

Ma's butt is not clean, many people know about this, but the person who can really bring down Ma's two heroes may still be serving a prison sentence in Stanley.

If you follow the trajectory of your previous life, in 1978, the Xiangjiang police would receive a tip from "Po Hao", the former leader of the Xiangjiang community, and then the police force and the beautiful national police arrested Ma.

And then the ridiculous "didn't catch it!" ”

The "white powder horse" fled when he heard the news, and the "golden horse" who was arrested was released on bail by a group of celebrities because of insufficient evidence. Later, he fled to Wanwan and settled down.

In fact, Xiao Tang is not worth it for "Po Hao", everyone came out to harm others together, why is he the worst, while others can continue to be chic outside.

Xiao Tang is the kind of cautious person who does things, and he will not be easy to make trouble when he is not completely sure.

If you attack, you must let the opponent be in trouble.

The most important thing as a hunter is patience, and Xiao Tang happens to be good at this.

When Xiao Tang left home, it was already close to evening, and his mother chatted with him all afternoon.

If it weren't for Xiao Tang explaining that there was a party tonight, he might not be able to get out.

……

It's almost eight o'clock in the evening.

In a banquet hall at the Four Seasons Hotel in Central, Xiao Tang was dressed meticulously and led by the waiter to the inner room, and the soothing waltz echoed in the hall.

Xiao Tang had never participated in such a social drinking party before, but this did not delay his performance.

After patrolling around the crowd, Xiao Tang soon found his target, George Russell, and took a glass of brandy that the bartender had just made from the wine table next to him, and Xiao Tang walked straight to the other party.

"Hey! George, I'm not late! Xiao Tang came up and touched Russell and asked with a smile.

"Of course," Russell also looked at Xiao Tang with a smile, and after taking a sip of the wine in the glass, he said to Xiao Tang again: "David, today's opportunity is good, you can meet a lot of people." ”

Then Russell seemed to remember something, and a middle-aged white man came from beside him, and said with a smile: "This is Charles, the new president of Da Mo Asia!" ”

Then he introduced Xiao Tang to the middle-aged white man. The two shook hands and knew each other.

In the end, Charles took the lead and politely handed Xiao Tang a business card of his own, and Xiao Tang also appropriately exchanged business cards with Charles.

However, after Charles got Xiao Tang's business card, he was still stunned for a moment, Xiao Tang's business card was too simple.

The whole body is made of expensive materials, but there is only one name and contact information and nothing else, which is very reverie.

Xiao Tang also noticed Charles's surprise, and couldn't help but shrug his shoulders and smile: "My company is still under construction, and this time I still need Da Mo's help!" After that, Xiao Tang glanced at Russell meaningfully, which made Russell laugh and said, "David, you are too resentful, let him go in the past!" I have asked the team in Thailand to help you find out about the situation of Tencel Group, and I think it won't be long before you receive good news from South Asia! ”

This time, Xiao Tang also smiled and said, "Then I wish us success!" ”

At the end, he picked up his wine glass and gestured, and then drank it, and then, because Xiao Tang intentionally or unintentionally pulled the parents of the two presidents before and after Da Mo for a short chat, Russell also let out a few laughs from time to time, which caused the people around him to look sideways.

And some people who originally wanted to be the president of Da Mo could only watch from the side, after all, no one was embarrassed to bother when they were still chatting hotly.

The host of this kind of cocktail party will always be the focus of the venue, after all, most of the people who can come here today are for the face of Da Mo, and Xiao Tang's purpose is very simple, that is, to expose it in the field and share the eyes of some of the two owners of Da Mo.

It is conceivable that more than ten minutes have passed, and many people have noticed Xiao Tang next to Russell, and some people who don't know about it even think that Xiao Tang next to Russell is the new president of Da Mo! They were all curious.

It wasn't until eight o'clock in the time, under the auspices of the master of ceremonies, that Russell interrupted the conversation with Xiao Tang, walked onto the rostrum, and ceremoniously introduced Charles, the new president of Da Mo.

At the end, he also made a speech, which made everyone suddenly realize that the new president of Da Mo was still a ghost.

But most of the people present were curious about Xiao Tang instead of decreasing.

You must know that at the beginning, the president of Da Mo was only the head of Hong Kong, and HSBC Taipan Sandas and Davis, chairman of the Hong Kong Securities Regulatory Commission, and Jardine Matheson New Bijian had a conversation, but it was only for a few minutes.

However, at this time, there was a person at the scene who could talk to Russell and Charles about the emcee's reminder.

How can you not make a group of people at the scene curious,

Especially Russell, the big guy, but the big man who is rumored to return to China to take over as the managing director of Da Mo can be favored by such a figure, what is the origin of this young man, and many questions rose in everyone's hearts for a while.

Of course, there are also some people who know Xiao Tang's details, such as HSBC Taipan Sandas, when he saw Xiao Tang who had a good conversation with Russell again, he suddenly remembered that the young man was excited to demonstrate his project in his office, he is also a person who has lived for most of his life, and after listening to it for more than two hours, his first reaction was that this kid wanted to confuse him and cheat him out of money, but the fact is that he lost his eyes.

And the guy from the beautiful country who chased out of the office made a lot of money on this kid, not counting equity, and the commission was still in millions or in dollars.

Of course, he also felt distressed, after all, HSBC can't even encounter a few of this kind of projects a year.

However, if he wants to say that he will attach importance to Xiao Tang because of this, then Xiao Tang is not qualified enough, and in Sundash's opinion, the other party is just a lucky boy.

When Charles succeeded Russell and continued his speech, the reception officially began, and everyone began to socialize freely.

At this moment, Xiao Tang did not go up to disturb Russell and the others, after all, his purpose had been achieved. And he didn't enter the crowd to socialize at the moment, but was quite arrogant in a corner.

"Hello, I'm Tian Yuanjing of Wantai Garment!" Suddenly, someone said in Xiao Tang's ear. Xiao Tang looked up as a middle-aged man with glasses.

After being stunned for a moment, Xiao Tang hurriedly shook hands with the other party, and said with a faint smile: "Xiao Tang! ”

"The surname is Xiao!" Tian Yuanjing thought about it and secretly speculated about the identity and background of the young man in front of him, but when Tian Yuanjing was thinking about it, Xiao Tang also fell into memories, "Tian Yuanjing" is known as the "Xiangjiang generation of pants king", the head of the Xiangjiang garment industry in the sixties and seventies and the Lin family of Lixin Garment are known as the four major families in the garment industry.

Xiao Tang did not slack off but took the initiative to leave a business card with the other party, and then talked a few words, Xiao Tang left under the pretext, while Tian Yuanjing looked at the direction of Xiao Tang's departure with some unfinished eyes, obviously just five or six minutes of conversation, the two talked happily.

Then Xiao Tang wandered around the hall, and from time to time someone came up to make friends with him, and Xiao Tang did not refuse to come, exchanging business cards one by one.

A banquet lasted nearly two hours, and Xiao Tang gained a lot of business cards, and the most surprising thing for him was that there was also a business card of an Asian stock god "Li Zhaoji" and Sun Hung Kai Securities founder Feng Jingxi.

Of course, these people were all sent to the door by themselves, Xiao Tang can be said to have borrowed a wave of momentum tonight, and invisibly raised his status a lot, after all, it is not a good deal to catch up.

Until the second half, because the dance began, Xiao Tang was not very good at dancing, so he said goodbye to Russell and left halfway.

After all, for him, the purpose has been achieved, and there is little point in staying. Although there were many beautiful ladies in the field, Xiao Tang did not have any good things happening with the other party, of course, the most important thing was that he was afraid that he would expose himself, and the character he had just created was collapsed by a dance.

Otherwise, so many beautiful young ladies, can he not be moved?
