Chapter 133 Visiting the Chu Family
"how to say?"
It doesn't matter whether you reply or not, what matters is the content. When the big boss receives a greeting message, whether he sees it or not, there is always a butler and secretary who will write a reply.
It must be beautiful calligraphy, tactful words and thoughtful greetings.
Sometimes a gift is included.
But you can’t even see anyone, and you can’t even get through the door, so what’s the point?
Ni Kun handed over the post with both hands, not daring to look at it. He Dingxian stepped forward to take it and opened it. He glanced at the key points and frowned: "Afternoon tea is changed to dinner, Boss Chu can give face."
"Hehe." Ni Kun grinned.
He Dingxian waved his hand: "Thank you for your hard work, Akun."
"Go to Yiqun's fruit stall tomorrow morning and bring back a few boxes of durians, pineapples, and jackfruits. Remember to select carefully. The quality must be high."
Ni Kun quickly agreed: "Remember, boss."
"That little girl, you're working so hard..." He Dingxian patted the post in his hand, stepped onto the stairs, and murmured in a low voice. Bai Yue'e heard this in the kitchen: "Brother Xian, what's the matter?"
"it's okay no problem."
The next day.
afternoon.
He Dingxian put on a custom-made black suit, put on a new Rolex, stood in front of the full-length mirror, tied his tie, and straightened it with his hands.
Bai Yue'e was wearing a long skirt and a headscarf. She adjusted her collar behind his back and asked aloud: "Which officer are you visiting today? She was dressed so formally that she even took out the watch given by my father."
He Dingxian's face was full of joy and he said proudly: "I'm here to visit you, sir, to pick up girls."
Bai Yue'e curled her lips and brushed his shoulder with her hand: "Why don't you take me to pick up girls?"
"Are you jealous?" He Dingxian turned around, noticed something was wrong with her expression, and slapped her buttocks: "Pah!"
The sound is loud.
"Take you there, be careful you get eaten."
Bai Yue'e shouted: "It hurts so much, you gangster!"
He Dingxian looked at her with a smile: "Don't be jealous. If I don't do it today, I have to do it tomorrow. I can't guard you all my life, right?"
"Can you bear it?"
Bai Yue'e glanced at him and left in a hurry: "Old gangster, salty guy, your hands will itch if you don't play gangster for a day. Go pick up your girl quickly. It's best not to come back at night. Your legs will be weak when you shoot in the future, and you will become a policeman..."
"You really have a bad temper." He Dingxian looked at Bai Yue'e's big butt wrapped under her skirt, squirming around, and sneered: "Wait until I come back to punish you."
Bai Yue'e secretly thought that if she went to play cards with her sisters at night, she would have to ask if there were any secrets or new tricks.
Combined with the newly purchased tight-fitting pajamas, use force, strength, and take the initiative!
When He Dingxian walked to the door of the tenement building, the driver had been waiting for him for a long time. He opened the door, leaned over and said, "Big boss."
"Let's go to Chu's house." He bent down and got into the back seat of the car and sat firmly. The driver closed the door hard and immediately returned to the driver's seat and started the car.
Ni Kun drove towards Sheung Wan without blinking, and arrived at Liyuan East Street at the foot of Taiping Mountain at about 4:40.
This is the core area of Hong Kong Island's Central District, surrounded by wealthy areas, hypermarkets, hospitals, foreign banks, and buildings.
The door of the Chu family villa is electrically opened when the car arrives, allowing guests to enter the mansion unimpeded.
When He Dingxian stepped out of the car and looked at the garden, he found that the Chu family's area was not large, but the front yard had rockery, flowing water, fountains and flower gardens. It was a standard European-style garden. Villas built in urban areas generally did not have shallow water. The atmosphere in Wan, Chai Wan and other places mainly adopts European style, but this does not mean that the price is cheap. On the contrary, the villas near Li Yuen Street East are just like the Victoria Peak, they are symbols of status.
Butler Haibo stood in front of the car door and bowed and smiled: "Mr. He, the master and the lady are waiting for you in the living room. Please move over."
"It should be." He Dingxian nodded humbly, straightened the folds of his suit jacket, and walked quickly into the main building.
Ni Kun unloaded the gifts from the car and moved them into the living room with the Chu family's servants. According to the rules, guests' gifts must be put out to show their sincerity. It is impossible for the housekeeper to put away the gifts, which will make the guests feel uncomfortable. It seems like it wasn't given, or the owner didn't like it.
Chu Weinan was dressed in a white Tang suit and came to the door with a cane to greet guests. When he saw He Dingxian coming forward, he opened his right hand and said, "Axian, come in and sit down."
"President Chu."
He Dingxian quickly leaned over to show respect, stepped forward to hold the president's hand, and said aloud: "Happy New Year, may you live in peace and live long."
"Hahaha, Happy New Year." Chu Weinan looked happy and said in a gentle tone: "No need to be polite, come in and sit down."
"Yunnan." President Chu turned around and ordered. Chu Yunnan smiled stiffly and greeted politely: "Happy New Year, Inspector He."
He Dingxian didn't expect that Chu Yunnan would become alienated from him in front of the old man. It was weird. Would you be embarrassed to explain?
"Happy New Year, Miss Chu." He pretended too!
It's not easy to act like you are familiar with his daughter in front of other people's father.
Chu Weinan smiled and led the guests into the living room to sit down at the coffee table. While boiling water to make tea, he looked at the fruits that were moved into the room and said, "Come here, why bring so many things."
He Dingxian said politely: "It's hard to come empty-handed for the first time. I couldn't think of anything suitable to bring. Finally, my friend and I brought some Southeast Asian fruits. They are not good things, but they are fresh and nutritious."
"Haha, thank you for your trouble." Chu Weinan brewed the tea, raised the teapot and placed it idling in front of his chest, fully mixing the tea and contacting the air. He let it sit for a while, then poured a cup of tea and said, "Drink tea."
"Thank you, President Chu." He Dingxian kowtowed to the elders as they poured tea. He took the cup and took a sip. Instead of praising the tea, he said first: "Good work."
"Hahaha." Chu Weinan laughed loudly, clapped his legs and said: "I have learned farming and raising pigs in the first half of my life, but I have never learned how to make tea. I am just a Chinese New Year. I will believe any nonsense you say. Come on again One cup."
He gave the guests more tea.
He Dingxian still tapped the table to express his thanks: "Thank you very much, President Chu."
"Anyone who calls me president won't be able to enter my house. Since you're sitting at home, don't call me by title. If you're in the mood, just call me Uncle Chu." Chu Weinan divided the tea and replaced the tea soup with a warm tone.
He Dingxian stopped being polite, nodded and shouted: "Uncle Chu."
"The chef is preparing the food. Drink two cups of tea before serving it, otherwise you will be full of water." Chu Weinan said with a smile: "Next time you want to drink tea, come earlier. It's still too late today."
Chu Yunnan was sitting on the sofa next to her, wearing a white T-shirt and jeans, showing off her slim curves, just like the girl next door. Her mid-length wavy hair was loose and lying naturally beside her ears. She was youthful, beautiful and had a good temperament.
She was just holding an apple in her hand and playing with it, never starting to do it. It wasn't until her father glanced back that she peeled it with a knife, cut it into pieces, put it on a plate and handed it to the guests, saying nothing the whole time. He didn't even say anything, he just glanced back and forth between the two men.
Chu Weinan's attitude is also obvious. Chaoshan girls don't need to cook at home. After all, the family has money and people, but what's the matter if the guests don't peel an apple when they come to the door?
There is no tutor for spreading the word to others.
Do you want to get married?
"Thank you." He Dingxian inserted a piece of apple into his mouth with a toothpick, his expression was very happy, and he glanced at Chu Yunnan quietly.
It's rare to try the apples peeled by Miss Chu herself, and they do taste better than others.
After the food started to be served, the three of them also sat at the dining table. Boss Chu felt like a breath of fresh air and was very easy to talk to. He didn't feel pressured by the president of the chamber of commerce at all. He Dingxian gradually relaxed his cautiousness and acted naturally. In the grandeur, Miss Chu had not even taken a bite of her meal when she suddenly asked: "Inspector He, I heard that you have a new concubine?"
He Dingxian's expression was stunned, and he opened his mouth to answer: "Didn't you ask about it last time?"
Chu Weinan frowned, turned around and lectured: "Yunnan, why do you care about others marrying concubines? A man who has made great achievements should have three wives and four concubines. It is his ability to support a family."
He has a wife in the mainland, two concubines in Hong Kong, and six lovers in Haojiang. Do people talk about him anymore? No!
Chu Yunnan was the legitimate daughter of his eldest wife from the Mainland, and his younger son was actually the legitimate daughter of Xu Xian from Hong Kong. That's why he pampered his daughter so much, but he had to pass on the family business to his son.
He hates women when they tell men to take concubines. He must be scolding his daughter. However, his daughter had already expected it and just smiled: "I recently met a beautiful singer, do you want to introduce her to you as a concubine? "
"Thank you, Miss Chu, for your concern. It's enough to have a concubine at home to take care of my mother before we get married." He Dingxian was reasonable and said politely, "I have no plans to take in another concubine for the time being."
"That's it...it's a pity, she's very beautiful." Chu Yunnan blinked, while Chu Weinan's eyes lit up. He must admit that He Dingxian's answer was beautiful. He didn't take the concubine for himself, but to take care of his mother! If it weren't for him, all men would believe it!
But being a man also made him look up to him. He was so good at talking. No wonder he was able to ride on his daughter's boat. It seems that he has worked hard to build several foundations in the business world, and his achievements in politics and business will not be low in the future. .
Also, how can a person who can start a business from scratch and become Inspector Hua in his early twenties be an easy person to deal with?
If so, the Mercedes-Benz car would not be able to drive through the Chu family's gate. Chu Yunnan had many friends, but only this one was received by him.
"Axian, tell the truth, are you here to drink tea with me, an old man, or are you here to go out and play with Yunnan?" Chu Weinan winked at his daughter to shut up, picked up some green vegetables with chopsticks, and put them in a bowl. , with a formal tone.
He Dingxian smiled and said: "Ms. Chu and I are not familiar enough to visit each other, but we are not unfamiliar enough to hand over invitations. Firstly, I am also a member of the Chaoshan Chamber of Commerce, and you are the president of the Chaoshan Chamber of Commerce. Secondly, I am Miss Chu’s good friend, and you are Miss Chu’s father. It is the New Year, and after much thought, I still feel that I should pay you a visit as a junior to wish you a happy holiday.”
"Actually, I'm looking for both, but if I have to tell you, I'm definitely looking for President Chu. After all, Yunnan and I can meet at any time."
He was very candid.
Chu Weinan nodded and said: "In this case, just assume that you are here to see me. Then I happen to have something to talk to you about."
"Brother Hai, open a bottle of wine."
Chu Yunnan and He Dingxian immediately looked at each other, their eyes full of surprise. They must be talking about something important when they suddenly opened the wine.
This is just the first family dinner! Building relationships has to be done step by step. Old Bones, why don't you play your cards according to the rules? What are you trying to do?
