Chapter 1194 A Surprising Christmas Eve
In the Oriental Suite of the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in San Francisco, Fu Yunning stood in front of the mirror and turned around. "Is it okay?"
"Of course," said Xiang Xiaofang, who was also checking her hairstyle.
The two of them were dressed up today, one black and one blue, and the accessories were also quite luxurious. Wearing this outfit, they could go directly to the VOGUE dinner.
"Just take these, okay?" Fu Yunning looked at the two boxes next to her and asked uncertainly.
One of the boxes belonged to her. There were two bottles of red wine in it, produced in California, two bottles of 1998 dry red wine from Napa Valley Screaming Eagle Winery.
Although it was from California, it was not cheap. The two bottles together cost more than three thousand dollars - but Fu still felt that it was a bit embarrassing.
"It would be great if we could find the 1992 one,"
The first and most popular vintage of Screaming Eagle Winery was produced in 1992.
However, the characteristic of this manor is that the production is small, only 500 boxes per year. The price of the wine in 1992 has increased sixfold in the 11 years between 2002 and 2003. It is more expensive than the 1982 Lafite that is familiar to all Chinese people. The key is that the wine in 1992 is really out of stock now. You can't buy it at all.
"Just follow the local customs. This is already very expensive. He actually has no interest in wine, including wine. Even if you find a 1992 wine, he probably won't appreciate it."
Fu Yunning thought about Feng Yiping's experience. It's true that he grew up in a poor mountain village in the old district when he was young. It's not strange that he doesn't like wine and doesn't appreciate wine.
Xiang Xiaofang tied the belt of her windbreaker and took Fu Yunning's hand. "Let's go. It's just a meal at his house. What else do you want to give? Besides, what doesn't he have? Maybe he has the 1992 wine that you can't find."
"Then tell me, what are you giving?" Fu Yunning looked at the mysterious box that Xiang Xiaofang had wrapped.
"Keep it a secret first, you'll know in a while,"
"Still keep it a secret? Will it surprise me when you open it?" Fu Yunning said with a smile.
"I can be sure that you will be surprised tonight, but it will probably not be because of my gift," Xiang Xiaofang said mysteriously again.
Fu Yunning gestured, and a short-haired suit-wearing woman picked up the two boxes and followed them. In front, two people had already blocked the elevator.
"Will his house surprise me?" Fu Yunning guessed.
But he immediately felt that this guess was not very reliable. Luxury house, what kind of luxury house has he not seen?
"Of course not, don't worry, haha, you will know in more than an hour,"
"Humph, you are just being mysterious, I want to see what will surprise me tonight,"
…………
Today, the lobby of the Mandarin Oriental Hotel is full of lights and is decorated particularly gorgeously, but there are not many guests staying. Under the tall Christmas tree in the lobby, there are only a few people who look like tourists taking pictures.
They watched a team of security guards escort two young oriental girls out, all of them looked at them sideways.
Xiang Xiaofang and Fu Yunning were used to such stares, and they walked and chatted calmly, "I heard that their company's New Year's Eve party will invite some European and American stars, do you know who they are?"
"They have already rehearsed in China, not to mention Hong Kong, European and American stars, including Ricky Martin and Avril, and I heard there is a bigger star, Beyonce, but it is highly confidential at the moment,"
"Oh, is it true? When you say that, I want to go and see it, hey, no, didn't you say that this is a guy who is more stingy the richer he is, how could he spend so much money to hold an annual meeting?"
"Don't worry about him, he's so smart!" Xiang Xiaofang leaned back in the chair comfortably, "Although I don't know how he will make a profit, but from the fact that the organizer of this annual meeting is his own media company, I know that he will definitely not suffer any loss if he does this,"
I have to say that Xiang knows Feng Yiping quite well.
The father of the later "national husband" packed a large number of Oscar-winning actors and actresses to build momentum for his film and television company in order to expand the influence of his film and television company. He also made a domineering rule that it was enough to host an international film festival with so many stars, and the red carpet time was only 30 minutes.
Feng Yiping didn't want to spend that money yet, but he could still do it if he was determined to invite one or two top stars. With his relationship with Hollywood, he could also invite them.
"He is a star chaser. He invites whoever he likes to perform for him," said Fu.
"No, haven't you seen real star chasing?" Xiang Xiaofang whispered, "Like one, then take him home and hide him."
"Tsk," Fu curled her lips in disdain, "Those they hide are also called stars?"
They have really seen a lot of things about the so-called "socialites" and "stars".
"Hey, you can't discriminate. Aren't those stars from China, Hong Kong and Taiwan stars?"
"But, who among them has the ability to hide Qingxia, Maggie Cheung and Chu Hong?"
It can only be said that she really makes things difficult for the second generation in China.
"Even if they have that ability, which family would agree to let them marry in?" Xiang Xiaofang said.
It is basically an impossible task for stars to marry into such a wealthy family as theirs.
However, after saying this, both of them were a little silent, because they both thought about their future, and it was foreseeable that when it came to getting married and starting a family, it would not be so smooth.
…………
"That's it?" Fu Yunning asked as the car drove on the mountain road and looked at the looming house on the top of the mountain. "It doesn't look big, either."
"Don't ask me, it's my first time here too," Xiang Xiaofang said, "But the environment here is really good,"
The car drove to the end of the mountain road, and Feng Yiping's modern-style house came into view. "It's quite unique," the two thought.
The door opened slowly. Owen stood at the door, guiding the three cars in their group to the door. Fu Yunning, who stepped out of the extended Cadillac first, was stunned immediately. Feng Yiping was wearing a Santa hat and holding a little girl in a princess dress. The girl was walking towards the door. She looked at Xiang Xiaofang getting out of the car at a loss.
Xiang Xiaofang nodded, "How about it, be surprised!"
Of course I was surprised. This little girl looked to be at least over a year old. That means Feng Yiping had not graduated from college and had already become the father of his child. It turned out that he had already followed the American standards in this regard!
Xiang Xiaofang looked at Fu Yunning's shocked look and said to herself, you don't know something that will surprise you even more!
She gently touched Fu Yunning and held the beautifully wrapped box, "Amanda, Merry Christmas! Do you still remember me? This is my gift to you."
"Thank you, auntie,"
"Hey, call me sister," Feng Yiping put his daughter on the ground and took the box, "Sister Xiang, classmate Fu, please come in quickly,"
"Oh, oh, Yiping, here are the two bottles of wine you brought. Thank you for inviting us to your home for Christmas,"
"Thank you! Why are you so polite? It should be said that I am honored to have you two come to my humble home. However, don't have your expectations too high. Most of today's meals are cooked by ourselves."
Feng Yiping led them both towards the living room, "That aunt at home, we gave her a day off today."
By the way, if they hadn't come today, Feng Yiping, Owen and the others would have had the day off. After all, it was Christmas Eve.
"Then we are even more honored to be able to eat the food cooked by the richest man Feng himself, isn't it Yunning?" Xiang Xiaofang touched Fu Yunning again.
This kid has been a little out of sorts since he entered the house until now.
"Yes, it's a great honor,"
Amanda cried out now, "Mom, mom, that's a gift from this beautiful sister,"
Huang Jingping, wearing a royal blue cheongsam, stood at the door of the restaurant with a smile, "Then did you thank her?"
"Hello Xiaofang, we meet again, Merry Christmas! You must be Miss Fu, welcome!"
"Hello Jingping, thank you for the invitation,"
"Hello," Fu Yunning couldn't help but look at Huang Jingping a few times, she looked pretty good, "Excuse me,"
"Where, our place is rarely so lively. I'm glad you can come." Huang Jingping couldn't help but look at her a few times. Is this the legendary proud daughter of heaven?
But there were two other girls in the restaurant. Feng Yiping pointed at them and introduced, "This Zheng Jiayi is my high school classmate, and this Wu Xinyang is my college classmate. Like you, Yunning, I just arrived in the United States this year." ,"
He pointed to the dishes on the table with a bit of pride and said, "This is turkey. We cooked it ourselves. Hehe, after two years of exploration, now it tastes absolutely first-class."
"This roasted suckling pig is the masterpiece of a top chef in Chinatown. Everyone who has eaten it says it is good,"
In fact, roast suckling pig is not only a dish that is eaten on some important occasions in our country. Some families in the United Kingdom and the United States also serve this dish at Christmas. It is another main dish besides turkey at Christmas.
"Introduce the two of us first, and then talk about roast turkey and roast suckling pig. Why do I feel that you have some evil intentions, Yi Ping?" Zheng Jiayi said, "I'm glad to meet you two."
"Hey, you heard it, okay, okay, we are all young people, let's not be so polite, please sit down," Feng Yiping knocked on the cup, "Welcome everyone! Let's drink to our gathering today. !”
In a slightly subtle atmosphere, Mr. Feng's 2003 Christmas dinner officially started.
