Li Yunhai returned home and saw Guo Wanhua, Lin Zhi and Shen Xiulan playing mahjong.

When he entered the house, no one paid any attention to him.

Li Yunhai walked over and watched them play.

He saw a few gold-painted invitations pressed on the table, picked them up, looked at them, and asked, "Where did this come from?" ”

Lin Zhi glanced at it and said, "Someone sent it tonight, saying that it was inviting us to a banquet, and that person said a lot of things, and I didn't hear what he said clearly, and the invitation was written in miles, you can see for yourself." ”

Guo Wanhua played a mahjong card and said with a smile: "This is a famous night banquet in Xiangjiang, in order to welcome Concubine Dai, you are so rich, of course I want to invite you to go." ”

Lin Zhi touched the cards and said, "I don't want to go." I rarely come to Xiangjiang once a year, and I am not familiar with the people here, this kind of famous night banquet, there must be many rules, I don't want to be restrained, it is better to play cards at home. Sea of clouds, go alone! ”

Li Yunhai opened the invitation and saw that his name was written on it, as well as the time and place of the night banquet.

"Between the Halbert Road and the Lower Aribi Path, where is this?" Li Yunhai asked Guo Wanhua.

"That's the Governor's House." Guo Wanhua also received the invitation, so she naturally knew where it was, "Important receptions and banquets are held over there." Just behind the HSBC Head Office, across Queen's Road Central to Garden Road, walk along Garden Road for a while. ”

"You're not going either?" Li Yunhai asked with a smile.

"I don't want to go. I don't know how many of these banquets I have to attend every year, so I'm tired of it. Tomorrow is the weekend, and Merlin is coming back, why don't you take Merlin for a long time? ”

"Huh? Shall I take Merlin? ”

"You have to bring a female companion with you."

"Oh, are you three sure you're not going?"

Lin Zhi and Shen Xiulan will definitely not go, and having a party with a group of complete strangers is really not as fun as imagined.

Guo Wanhua gave the opportunity to her daughter.

When they finished playing this game, Li Yunhai also joined in.

The four of them had a good time, and then they rested.

The next day, Li Yunhai and Guo Wanhua came to inspect the company and visited the building under construction in Causeway Bay.

This construction project, named "Sihai International Building" by Li Yunhai, will also become the center of the global headquarters of Sihai Group in the future.

Several buildings under construction by Sihai Group will be completed one after another.

The first to be completed is the Sihai Center in Xizhou, which will open next year.

After the inspection, Li Yunhai and Guo Wanhua took the car home.

The two sat in the back seat of the car, and Li Yunhai held Guo Wanhua's hand.

Guo Wanhua's hand was obviously startled, but she didn't struggle, just looked at him with gentle eyes.

Li Yunhai squeezed her hand and said, "Sister, between us, it's over?" ”

Guo Wanhua smiled slightly: "It's always been like this between us!" Don't you think that's good? Yunhai, do you think we don't feel like relatives? ”

Li Yunhai shook his head helplessly, thinking that Guo Wanhua had really seen through life, no longer absorbing wealth and no longer obsessing with prosperity.

It's not just feelings, even in places like the night banquet of wealthy families, she can be indifferent.

When they returned home, Chen Meilin had already returned from school.

After Chen Meilin went to college, her image and temperament have changed greatly.

Her dress is actually very ordinary, just an orange T-shirt, with a pair of blue jeans, long hair, naturally draped, wearing a pair of old sneakers, but the feeling of the whole person is extraordinarily youthful and fresh, and there is a good feeling when you look at it.

"Brother Yunhai!" As soon as Chen Meilin saw Li Yunhai, she had a natural affection, she rushed forward and hugged Li Yunhai, and touched his face affectionately.

Li Yunhai felt her strong attachment, was very moved, patted her on the back, and said, "Meilin, you have been admitted to university, and I haven't given you a gift yet, what do you want?" ”

Chen Meilin's beautiful big eyes flashed: "Will you give me whatever I want?" ”

"Of course, as long as I can afford it."

"Let me think about it!"

"Okay, you think slowly, tell me when you're ready."

Guo Wanhua called her daughter upstairs and asked her to change into a set of evening dresses, which was a long skirt with suspenders, which not only showed a sexy figure, but also showed a flowing temperament.

She helped her daughter get her hair in a hairstyle and put on jewelry.

When Chen Meilin appeared in front of Li Yunhai again, it gave people a sense of amazement.

Just now she was the little sister next door, but now she has become a beautiful and noble princess.

Li Yunhai also changed into a suit and leather shoes.

To participate in this kind of dinner, you must wrap yourself in this seemingly luxurious but actually binding body.

This is also the reason why Lin Zhi and Shen Xiulan, who are used to being free and casual, are reluctant to participate in such activities.

Chen Meilin is still young and from a wealthy family, and she is still full of beautiful yearning for this kind of social occasion.

Li Yunhai and Chen Meilin set off for the Hong Kong Governor's Mansion.

"Brother, is it okay for me to be like this?" Chen Meilin adjusted her dress from time to time and asked Li Yunhai a little shyly.

"Very good." Li Yunhai said, "Remember, confident women are the most beautiful." You also have the capital of self-confidence. ”

"Because I'm Li Yunhai's sister!"

"Haha, because you are Chen Wanzhao's daughter."

"My dead dad? Forget it! He's been dead for so many years, who remembers him? Besides, when he was alive, my family's wealth was not as much as yours. ”

The car arrived at the place in no time.

The guard at the gate let the car go as soon as he saw it.

The number of people who can attend this banquet is limited, and the people who can come here are all invited, and they are either rich or expensive.

The guards only need to look at the grade and license plate of the car to know whether they should be allowed to go or not.

Zhuang Yong got out of the car and helped Li Yunhai open the car door.

Li Yunhai and Chen Meilin got out of the car.

Chen Meilin grabbed Li Yunhai's arm, smiled slightly at the corner of her mouth, and followed him dignified and elegant.

There is a master of ceremonies at the entrance of the main hall, and every guest who enters the door must hand over his own invitation.

The master of ceremonies took the invitation, glanced at it, and then shouted out loudly, so-and-so company, so-and-so unit, Mr. and Mrs. so-and-so arrived.

When the master of ceremonies called out the name of Mr. Li Yunhai, president of Sihai Group, many people who had already arrived inside turned their heads to look.

Heung Kong Sihai Group was listed in Hong Kong and now has a market value of more than HK$30 billion.

This market value cannot be regarded as a top large enterprise in Xiangjiang, but it can also be ranked first.

It's just that Li Yunhai is rarely in Xiangjiang and rarely appears in public, so he is not familiar.

Therefore, when Li Yunhai appeared, there was a small discussion on the scene.

"He is Mr. Li of Sihai Group? Isn't that too young? ”

"I didn't expect Mr. Li to be so young and promising!"

"Doesn't it look good? Not too young! Mr. Liu of Xiangjiang Zhengcheng Group is younger than him! There are tens of billions of assets. ”

"Liu Jiale, the boss of Zhengcheng Group, inherited his father's business, Lao Dou died, and his son inherited the family business. But Mr. Li of Sihai Group started from scratch! A rich second generation and a creative generation are completely different. ”

"I've heard for a long time that Li is always a legend, and it's really powerful!"

"He is a technology company, don't look at the high market value now, in fact, it is all a bubble! The bubble of high-tech companies is too bad. ”

"Sihai Group also has industry, real estate, and manufacturing, which is different from ordinary high-tech companies. This is not a leather bag company! ”

Li Yunhai didn't expect that his appearance would cause such a big response.

And Chen Meilin beside him has also become the object of heated discussion.

"Li Yunhai and Chen Meilin together? Could it be that they are a couple? ”

"Possibly! Talented men and women! ”

Li Yunhai's marriage in the mainland was not known to the people in Xiangjiang.

And he and Chen Meilin stand together, and they are indeed a good match.

Even Chen Meilin thought so, so when she heard someone praise her and Li Yunhai for being a couple, Fang was even overjoyed.

After Li Yunhai entered the door, he nodded to all the people who looked at him, regardless of whether he knew him or not, since others looked at him, of course he had to return the salute.

Fortunately, people's attention quickly shifted to the next group of guests.

The person who came is the new head of Zhengcheng Group, Liu Jiale.

Liu Jiale is really young, only about twenty years old, his dress is much more flamboyant than his peers Li Yunhai, at first glance he is a child of a rich and noble family, and the famous brands on his body are worth at least more than 10 million, and the watch on his wrist alone is worth millions.

As soon as he appeared, he immediately caused some of the young girls at the scene to scream.

There were a few women dressed up in fancy clothes who ran forward directly and accosted Liu Jiale.

Chen Meilin only stood beside Li Yunhai and turned a blind eye to this billionaire child.

Liu Jiale is very popular, and the ladies want to introduce him to the girls around them, and the men also want to make friends with this new billionaire.

Li Yunhai smiled: "Meilin, this man is very good, don't you go up and get acquainted?" ”

Chen Meilin turned her head to look at Liu Jiale and said: "I think he is very ordinary, frizzy, like a hairy young man, he doesn't have the style of a rich man at all." ”

Li Yunhai also saw a few familiar people, Li Jiacheng, Yi Yifu and others were all present.

Everyone met, shook hands, said hello, and chatted.

On such occasions, it is impossible to talk about business or private matters, and what is said is nothing more than a scene.

The limelight of the youngest billionaire Liu Jiale lasted until the start of the dinner, until the prince and princess appeared, and the attention of everyone at the scene was stolen by the main owner.

As soon as the prince and princess appeared, they immediately became the central figures of the stars and the moon.

All the participants were present.

The Governor gave a welcome speech and then began the dinner.

Of course, the standard of the dinner is the highest, and there are all kinds of delicacies from the mountains and seas during the banquet.

Li Yunhai ate a little, felt that the taste was too light, and did not eat more.

Chen Meilin ate with relish.

Such a dinner party, in order to take care of the eating habits of as many people as possible, so try to be light.

Li Yunhai is used to eating heavy dishes in Xizhou, so he can't eat some of them.

Half of the table they sat at was British, and none of them knew each other, and after introducing each other, there was no common topic to talk about.

Li Yunhai understood why Guo Wanhua didn't come.

The banquet lasted for a long time, like watching a gorgeous, boring, and lengthy big-budget movie.

The banquet is finally over.

Li Yunhai breathed a sigh of relief.

The banquet was followed by a ball.

Li Yunhai brought his own dance partner, so he saved a lot of effort, and jumped up after holding Chen Meilin's hand.

Those who didn't bring a dance partner could only look for a suitable partner all over the venue.

Normally, on this occasion, if there is no special reason, others will not refuse to invite them to dance.

If you really want to reject someone rudely, it will seem very rude and will be very embarrassing for the person concerned. It's a big deal to dance a song first, and then find a reason to change people in the next song.

So everyone quickly found a dance partner.

A huge living room was crowded with dancing.

After dancing a song, Li Yunhai and Chen Meilin sat down to rest.

Chen Meilin took a glass of brandy and said, "Brother, I'm in college now, can I drink?" ”

Li Yunhai said: "You drink!" Didn't you already drink it when you were eating? ”

Chen Meilin said: "I drank aperitif wine just now, that is not real wine, this is counted." ”

She smiled and said, "Brother, let's have a drink?" ”

Li Yunhai said: "Where did you learn it?" Learned this at a young age? ”

Chen Meilin grabbed his hand: "Come on!" ”

Li Yunhai drank a glass of wine with her.

Chen Meilin finished drinking the wine in the glass, and her face immediately became extremely beautiful.

At this time, Liu Jiale suddenly walked up to Chen Meilin and stretched out his hand in a very gentlemanly manner: "Miss Chen, please dance." ”

Chen Meilin pointed to her nose and asked, "Do you know me?" ”

Liu Jiale said: "Of course I know, you are Chen Wanzhao's daughter, and your name is Chen Meilin." Before your daddy died, you and my daddy were good friends, and I heard my daddy say that we had a baby kiss before. ”

Chen Meilin sneered and said, "Doll pro? How come I've never heard of it? And I don't know you! ”

Liu Jiale said: "I went abroad to study when I was ten years old, and I didn't come back until my father had an accident. We haven't seen each other in ten years. When I went abroad, you were younger than me, you probably don't remember me, do you? ”

"Huh?" Chen Meilin was stunned, "Did we really know each other when we were children?" ”

Liu Jiale smiled: "You are no different from the appearance when you were a child, I recognized you at a glance." ”

Chen Meilin held her chin in her hand and giggled: "But why do you look smaller than me?" ”

Liu Jiale said: "I am 21 years old and have just graduated from university. I want to propose to your mother, the baby kiss we ordered when we were young, it should be counting, right? ”

Chen Meilin was startled, shook her hand again and again, and said, "That can't be counted." I had no idea that there was such a thing, and my parents never mentioned it to me. ”

Liu Jiale said: "Miss Chen, I like you very much!" I inherited tens of billions of dollars from my daddy! I studied abroad at Oxford. In either way, I don't think you have any reason to reject me. ”

When Li Yunhai heard this, he couldn't help but be surprised, thinking that this Liu Jiale's conditions were really one in a million!

If the two families can achieve their good deeds, it will be a good home for Chen Meilin.

Liu Jiale's hand was stretched out in front of Chen Meilin, and then he said, "Let's dance first, shall we?" We'll talk about marriage later. ”

Chen Meilin put her hand on Li Yunhai's shoulder and grinned: "I'm sorry, I have a dance partner." You have a lot of women to dance with, but my brother has only one dance partner. ”

Liu Jiale looked at Li Yunhai and said, "You are Meilin's brother?" Fortunately. ”

Li Yunhai's impression of this rich kid is not bad so far, so he nodded: "Hello." ”

Liu Jiale said: "Okay, you dance." Merlin, I'm going to visit you tomorrow, tomorrow is Sunday, will you be at home? ”

Chen Meilin said: "I should be at home." Not necessarily, though. ”

Liu Jiale said: "I have your home phone number, I will contact you before I go." ”

Chen Meilin took Li Yunhai's hand and got up to dance.

"Brother, are you surprised? He actually said that he had ordered a baby kiss with me? What era is it, and you still order a doll? Who believes it? You say, don't you? ”

"Merlin, this matter was ordered more than ten years ago, and it may be a verbal joke between your father and his father! You can go home and ask your mother to find out if it's true or not. ”

"I don't care if it's true or not! I won't marry him. ”

"But his condition is really good, and it's hard to find a lantern."

"He's so frivolous!"

"It's called youthful spirit."

"He's so unstable!"

"This is the vitality that young people should have!"

"Why do you keep saying he's good? I won't marry him anyway! ”

"Okay, well, your own affairs, you make your own decisions."

"You said you were going to give me a gift, is that true?"

"Of course."

"I think about it now."

"Okay, what do you want?"

"I want you to take me on a trip!"

"Huh?"

"Can't you?"

"Yes, where to go?"

"You can go anywhere! Go to the United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, France, and the United States. ”

"That's fine! Well, we're going to CES in Las Vegas in mid-January next year, can you come with us? ”

"Good! Deal! ”

"You probably haven't had a vacation yet, right?"

"I can take a leave of absence!"

"Taking a leave of absence just after school? Not good. ”

"It's only a few days, and I won't miss much homework, I promise you, I won't fail, okay?"

"Go home and talk to your mom about it."

"Everything, my mom? I've grown up, okay? I can make decisions about my own life. ”

"I still have to ask your mother."

"Boring!"

Li Yunhai smiled slightly.

During the intermission, Li Yunhai went to the bathroom, and when he came out, he happened to run into the princess.

The princess stared at him for a few moments.

Li Yunhai nodded in acknowledgment.

The princess called out to him: "Hello, sir, we have met before. Right? ”

Li Yunhai smiled slightly: "I think so, princess." We met at the Toyo Hotel Okura and had a drink together. ”

The princess sighed, put her hand on her forehead, and said, "I remember." It's you! Haven't asked your name yet? ”

"Li Yunhai!"
