Chapter 542 The Real and Fake Huo Chengdong (1,000 Monthly Votes for Additional Updates)

While Shi Lei looked at the respectful-looking Huo Chengdong, he followed Stone into his home.

Sitting on the sofa in the living room, Stone looked at Shi Lei with a smile, while Huo Chengdong stood aside, lowered his head and said, "Sir, do you want to entertain this gentleman for lunch at noon?"

"Yes, let the kitchen prepare some of the best mutton. I'm going to have a drink with Mr. Shi later."

Huo Chengdong nodded and said, "Okay, sir, I'll make arrangements right away."

After that, he turned and left.

Shi Lei looked at Huo Chengdong's back in astonishment and thought to himself, isn't Huo Chengdong a rich man? He is worth at least several hundred million Australian dollars, which is at least over ten or two billion in China. Why does it feel like he is just Mr. Stone's butler?

Stone also smiled at this moment and said: "I'm sorry, Mr. Stone, I didn't tell the truth at the racecourse just now. In fact, I am Huo Chengdong, and Stone is just my English name. If Mr. Stone could speak Cantonese, then he might have You can hear some clues from my name. In Cantonese, the pronunciation of Chengdong is very similar to Stone. In fact, the name Huo Chengdong is basically translated from my English name. After all, I was born in a country where English is my mother tongue. The country’s legally registered name is StoneHoward, but after I reach adulthood, I prefer others to call me Huo Chengdong.”

Shi Lei was confused and said, "But, that person just now...?"

"He is my assistant and my butler. He was born in the same year as me. His father was my father's assistant and butler. Although we are a master and a servant, more often than not, we are like They are like brothers. I don't like to be public by nature, so if I really can't refuse any event and I have to attend it, I will ask him to attend on my behalf. And with my face, I'm afraid it would be scary if I walked on the street. No one would ever think that I am Huo Chengdong. Even in my company, most people think that he is me, and only the core veterans know his true identity."

Shi Lei was speechless.

This is too well hidden.

However, Shi Lei still felt that Heika did it on purpose.

In Shi Lei's view, even if the media doesn't know what the real Huo Chengdong looks like, it's impossible for the black card not to know. This was obviously Heika's intention, but Shi Lei didn't know what Heika's purpose was.

"Haha, I made you laugh. I am very afraid of trouble, very afraid. Compared to getting along with others, I would rather guard a painting, a bottle, or even a piece of furniture. However, I I finally fulfilled my promise, I said I would introduce you to Huo Chengdong, and now, Huo Chengdong is sitting in front of you."

Shi Lei shook his head and said with a bitter smile: "Mr. Huo, you... I really don't know what to say!"

Huo Chengdong smiled slightly and said, "I already know why you are looking for me. Let's eat first. After dinner, I can take you to see the blue and white porcelain vase."

Shi Lei's eyes lit up and he said, "So, Mr. Huo is willing to transfer that porcelain vase to me?"

"Then it depends on whether everything Mr. Shi said is true. If everything is true as Mr. Shi said, I am very willing to fulfill Mr. Shi's filial piety. Of course, more importantly, I hope that the treasures of our country can be returned to the world. To the motherland. Moreover, it will not fall into the hands of those cultural relic dealers. I am happy to see it used for purposes like Mr. Shi's."

Shi Lei nodded, thinking that except for the fake porcelain vase from the Wanli era of Bai Lao Duque, all the other information here was true. And even if Huo Chengdong is extremely capable, it is impossible to find out what Bai Lao's collection contains, but he is not afraid of Huo Chengdong exposing his words.

"Mr. Shi, sit down for a while while I go upstairs to change clothes. Then we can probably enjoy the delicious mutton. However, the chefs here all cook Western food, which may not be as delicious as the domestic cooking methods, but the mutton is the best." Good lamb.”

"I'm so scared to disturb Mr. Huo." Shi Lei knew that it was a lie that Huo Chengdong went upstairs to change clothes, and that everything he said was true if he found someone to investigate.

Before Huo Chengdong went upstairs, he took a bottle of whiskey, poured a glass for Shi Lei, and said, "Mr. Shi, have a drink first."

After that, Huo Chengdong went upstairs, and it took more than twenty minutes before he came down.

After coming down, he didn't say anything, but actually changed into home clothes, and then invited Shi Lei to the restaurant for dinner.

After opening a bottle of red wine, the two of them tasted it briefly. After eating, Huo Chengdong invited Shi Lei to the backyard to bask in the sun.

When a servant brought fruit and tea, Shi Lei and Huo Chengdong sat on a lounge chair in his backyard and chatted.

Not long after, Huo Chengdong's housekeeper came over, leaned over and whispered something in Huo Chengdong's ear, and Huo Chengdong nodded slightly.

"Haha, I'm really surprised. The father of the old man Mr. Shi was talking about actually met my grandfather, and he even invited me to attend his eightieth birthday party."

After hearing this, Shi Lei felt a slight thump in his heart.

This is really a coincidence. If Huo Chengdong also attends the birthday banquet, he will definitely talk about Bai Lao's collection. Bai Lao will even invite Huo Chengdong, who has the same taste as him, to visit his private museum. By then, I'm afraid that the only lie in all Shi Lei's words will be exposed.

Thinking of this, Shi Lei couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

But he tried to keep his face calm and said with a smile: "It's such a coincidence. It seems that whether Mr. Huo is willing to transfer the porcelain vase to me today, we will be able to meet again in the near future. Opportunity."

Huo Chengdong didn't know whether he saw the change in Shi Lei's expression. He nodded with a smile and said, "The world is really too small. This is probably the fate between you and me. However, Mr. Shi, last night and today, Is it really not an accidental encounter that you intentionally caused?"

Shi Lei shook his head and sighed: "If I knew that you were Mr. Huo Chengdong, there might really be such an intentional encounter. However, you also said that even most people in your company don't know who is Mr. Huo Chengdong." It’s the real Huo Chengdong, so how could I predict it? It seems that God also hopes that this important national weapon can be returned to Zhao intact, so Mr. Huo, why don’t you give me that porcelain vase."

Huo Chengdong laughed, tapped Shi Lei with his finger, and said: "Slippery!" Then he ate a piece of fruit and finally said: "But since I promised you, I still have to be honest. So, what about the porcelain bottle you mentioned? I asked people to make two fakes. If you can find the real one among the three identical porcelain bottles, then I will let you take the porcelain bottle away. But if you find the wrong one, I can only say Sorry."

Shi Lei looked at Huo Chengdong and wondered why he was doing this. Could he just give him a pleasant word? Why do you want to do such a trick?

Shi Lei was not worried that he would not be able to find the real thing. Anyway, he had the identification card in his hand. With the ability of the black card, it was absolutely no problem to identify the genuine product. He just didn't understand the meaning of Huo Chengdong's doing this. He was already planning to give up his love, so why bother with it.

There are so few monthly tickets. The author is very sad. I want to add more but can’t add them.
