Chapter 735 Hong Qinghuan's Invitation
$740, Hong Qinghuan's invitation
Xiaolu and Ma Piaoliang were not in a hurry to go back that night. They were originally here to "wander" in Formosa, so they naturally would not go back so early.
When Big Brother Cheng heard that Xiaolu would still be in Formosa for a few days, he even proposed to give the luxury house he bought in Formosa to Xiaolu and Ma Piaoliang as a temporary resting place.
However, Xiaolu refused with a smile. For this reason, Big Brother Cheng said that he would give his "nanny car" in Formosa to Xiaolu and others as a temporary "sightseeing car", and Xiaolu did not refuse.
Ever since Big Brother Cheng knew that WF Group bought the theaters in America and Europe, he has been flattering Xiaolu and others one after another. After all, he is old and needs to make some money for retirement.
Big Brother Cheng's son was a little "dissatisfied" at first, but after seeing his father's disappointed look, he could only swallow his words.
"You are such a hopeless person." Seeing his son's somewhat dissatisfied expression, Big Brother Cheng was really furious. His son was really a pig-head. He was still thinking about "petty gains" at this time.
His friend comforted him: "Forget it, Ah Cheng, Ah Ming is still young. He will be sensible when he grows up."
"He is still young? When I was his age, I jumped off a building of more than ten meters." Big Brother Cheng said angrily.
Seeing Big Brother Cheng so angry, his friend didn't know what to say. Ah Ming's performance this time was really disappointing. Logically speaking, the road that Big Brother Cheng paved for him could be said to be smooth sailing.
But this kid is really a bit unpresentable. He just knows how to mess around with a group of people in Taiwan and Hong Kong, wasting Big Brother Cheng's many favors in vain.
You have to know that Big Brother Cheng spent a lot of favors and connections accumulated in the past to make this precious son of his, but this kid is "unmoved".
"Forget it, let's leave it to fate." The eldest brother Cheng said helplessly. He was really "speechless" about his son, and he had a "crazy" daughter who was also tossing around all day, which made him very annoyed.
Xiaolu and Ma Piaoliang notified their agents to sign a contract with Xu Guangtou the next day. As for when the movie would start shooting, they had to wait for Xu Guangtou's words.
"Da Piaoliang, Hong Qinghuan invited us to her house for dinner today. Are you going?" Xiaolu asked.
Ma Piaoliang turned around and said, "Is it the one you helped last time?"
Xiaolu nodded and said, "Yes, it's her. This time she specially invited us to the ancestral home of the Hong family for dinner."
"Okay, then I'll go with you. Anyway, I have nothing to do here alone." Ma Piaoliang nodded.
"Trojan horse, Da Piaoliang, you are the best." Xiaolu smiled and hugged Ma Piaoliang and kissed her fiercely.
Ma Piaoliang pretended to be disgusted and said, "Hey, you drool a lot."
The two of them immediately made a mess.
After a while, the two washed and dressed up and got into the Rolls-Royce provided by Lai Chun and drove towards the Hong family's ancestral home. Although the nanny car of Big Brother Cheng was comfortable, Lai Chun's Rolls-Royce was still more prestigious in Taiwan.
The female bodyguards arranged by Tang Wen sat in the nanny car and an MPV Mercedes-Benz car provided by Big Brother Cheng, and drove slowly towards the Hong family's ancestral home with the Rolls-Royce.
The people along the way looked at the three cars with envy, especially after seeing the license plate number of the Rolls-Royce in front, many knowledgeable people were a little "afraid".
Lai Chun is now the most famous person in Taiwan, and his car is the focus wherever he goes.
After a while, the car slowly stopped at the gate of a medieval-style courtyard. Looking at the rusty iron gate in front of him, Xiaolu exclaimed: "I didn't expect there was such a large courtyard here in Treasure Island."
Ma Piaoliang nodded in agreement and said: "Yes, this style looks like a mansion left over from the 1950s and 1960s. What a pity."
Ma Piaoliang felt sorry because this mansion, which once had a lot of history, was now in a "abandoned" stage, and because no one took care of it regularly, many places were already dilapidated. The surrounding area was dug up and full of loess and gravel.
Hong Qinghuan took Zhang Lan and an old woman from the steps of the central villa and slowly walked towards the two people and said: "I'm sorry, Xiaolu, please forgive me for my humble home being a bit dilapidated."
"Sister Qinghuan, your place is very quiet." Xiaolu looked at the road surface that had been dug up around him, and found a step and said.
Hong Qinghuan didn't say anything more, but just took the two people to the house. When Xiaolu and Ma Piaoliang walked into the room, they saw a strong "Republic of China style" and various old furniture immediately caught their eyes. The two even saw several phonographs from the Republic of China era. Looking at the patina on them, they knew they were definitely antiques.
After Hong Qinghuan invited the two to sit down, the old woman next to them went to the side and served tea to everyone.
"This is Aunt Mei, the last servant of our Hong family left here." Hong Qinghuan said with a gloomy face. The Hong family was very glorious before, but now only Aunt Mei is left.
"Miss, I'm going to be busy." Aunt Mei put down the tea and said elegantly to everyone.
Hong Qinghuan nodded and said, "I'll trouble you at noon, Aunt Mei."
"You're polite, Miss. It's my honor." Aunt Mei said with a chuckle. Although her hair was gray, she still walked with a strong step.
"Come on, I'll take you on a tour. Thank you so much for this, Xiaolu. If it weren't for you, our ancestral home wouldn't be safe." Hong Qinghuan invited.
"Okay." Xiaolu nodded and put down the teacup with Ma Piaoliang, and followed Hong Qinghuan to visit the old house.
This villa was built in the 1960s. It was built by the first generation of the Hong family, but Mr. Hong invited famous Belgian craftsmen to design and build it. It is also "unique" in Taiwan.
Mr. Hong was a ruthless man at the time. Not only was he a favored child in business, but he was also a person who won the Blue Sky Medal as a businessman.
It is conceivable how strong the Hong family's position was in Taiwan at the time. This villa covers an area of about 2 acres and has an underground winery below, but the wine inside has long been emptied, and only some old furniture is left.
After walking around, Ma Piaoliang and Xiaolu couldn't help but sigh: "This is a truly luxurious house with a lot of history." At this moment, they finally understood why Hua Yuhan was so fascinated by the "Tang Mansion". After all, a mansion of this level has a self-evident historical significance.
Unlike what Ma Piaoliang thought, Xiaolu looked at the still charming Hong Qinghuan and Zhang Lan and began to have unknown thoughts in her eyes.
