After Zhuang Rui heard Bai Meng'an's words, he raised his eyebrows and said lightly: "Brother Bai, what you said is wrong. Xuan Bing has her own opinion on who she chooses. How can she say she conquered Hong Kong?
As an international metropolis, the idea of male superiority and female inferiority still exists these days, right?"
Bai Meng'an was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect that Zhuang Rui, who had an impression of being indifferent, would refute his words like this. For a moment, he couldn't say anything. However, Zhuang Rui's words brought the whole of Hong Kong into it. Behind Bai Meng'an,
There were several young people with dissatisfied expressions on their faces.
"I made a mistake, Xuan Bing, don't worry..."
When Bai Mengyao saw her brother lose his temper, he quickly poked him in the waist. Bai Mengyao realized what he had done and quickly apologized to Qin Xuanbing. The two of them had many cooperations in business, but this little thing caused
The rift was bad. Bai Meng'an was a little jealous just now, so he said inappropriate words, but now his mentality has adjusted.
"It doesn't matter, the auction will start soon. Please go back..."
Qin Xuanbing has returned to her previous appearance of being repulsive to others, but the various charms inadvertently revealed between her eyebrows are completely different from the indifference she showed before. Even the young man who has no interest in Qin Xuanbing, this
Everyone in the meeting was stunned. Even those who came with their female companions also looked at Qin Xuanbing furtively.
"There are too many people here today, Miss Qin, would you mind if we stay here?"
A young man of about thirty years old in the crowd suddenly spoke, and several people nearby also echoed his words. After Qin Xuanbing glanced at the man, she didn't say anything and just nodded silently.
"The man's surname is Zheng, and his name is Zheng Hua. He is the grandson of the Zheng tycoon. He now works in his grandfather's jewelry company. He is known as the leader of the new generation of Zhou Taifu jewelry. Xuan Bing is not familiar with him, but
It’s hard to refuse his face..."
Lei Lei was afraid of what Zhuang Rui would think, so she whispered in Zhuang Rui's ear and introduced him to the people who just spoke. They were all in the jewelry industry. The scale of other companies was much larger than Qin's Jewelry. Qin Xuanbing
It would be too disrespectful to drive people away with words. After all, this place is not hers.
The children of these super rich people are actually far less interested in Qin Xuanbing than they are in Zhuang Rui. With their wealth, what kind of beautiful woman do they want? Why go home with a cold stone? Of course
, whether it was cold or hot, among the people present, only Zhuang Rui knew.
But Qin Xuanbing found a mainlander like Zhuang Rui, which made these people curious. You know, after 1997, intermarriage between the mainland and Hong Kong is normal, but it is still rare in Hong Kong's upper class society.
I heard that some families are willing to marry their daughters to the Mainland. After all, it is generally difficult for Hong Kong people to adapt to life in the Mainland due to the weather, climate and living habits.
At this moment, several people were holding Bai Meng'an and whispering. Even Bai Mengyao was pulled aside by several women. They were probably asking about Zhuang Rui's origins. However, although the Bai brothers and sisters and Zhuang Rui had experienced Tibet together,
However, I didn’t know much about Zhuang Rui. Apart from knowing that Zhuang Rui was from the mainland, I didn’t reveal any useful information.
"Is this your first time in Hong Kong, Mr. Zhuang?"
The charity auction hadn't started yet, and people of all ages were gathering together to chat. Suddenly, Zheng Hua, who was standing next to Bai Meng'an, greeted Zhuang Rui with a smile and extended his hand.
As the saying goes, you should never hit someone with a smiling face. Zhuang Rui shook hands with the elegant-looking jewelry heir of the Zheng family who wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and replied calmly: "Yes, it's my first time here..."
"Haha, I wonder what kind of industry Mr. Zhuang is engaged in in the Mainland? I now work in the Mainland for three or four months every year. If I have the chance, I must visit Mr. Zhuang..."
Zheng Hua didn't have any thoughts about Qin Xuanbing. He just wanted to get to know Zhuang Rui. If he was a capable person, he would naturally want to date him. As the saying goes, more friends lead to more paths. Do business to their level.
, many things are often not solved by money.
For those who came to Hong Kong from the mainland in the late 1970s, they were looked down upon by Hong Kong people at first. However, after the descendants of the red capitalists in the 1970s came to Hong Kong with bare hands, they relied on a small amount of money.
With his capital, he has built a huge business empire with assets of nearly 20 billion in twenty years, which cannot but be impressive.
From that time on, these super-rich people in Hong Kong also intentionally or unintentionally made friends with the mainland because they could not give up the huge market in the mainland. At the same time, these people also understood the truth, that is, doing business in the mainland , having money is worse than having power.
Zheng Hua is now doubting that Zhuang Rui is not some kind of prince from the mainland, right? If not, why is the Qin family willing to marry their daughter? You know, in Hong Kong at this time, marriages were used to maintain cooperation between wealthy families.
Relationships are still very popular.
Zhuang Rui didn't know what Mr. Zheng, who spoke fluent Mandarin, meant, and casually replied: "I'm engaged in some jade business in the mainland, haha, it's not worth mentioning."
"Oh? Mr. Zhuang is also from the jewelry industry? Then we should get closer in the future..." Zheng Hua deepened his suspicion after hearing Zhuang Rui's words.
"No, no, I only do jade raw material business and have no contact with jewelry." Zhuang Rui corrected Zheng Hua's statement.
"Mr. Zhuang is the boss of us people. When there is a chance in the future, Mr. Zheng will definitely visit."
Hearing that Zhuang Rui was in the jade raw material business, Zheng Hua suddenly lost interest. You know, he knew all the largest jade raw material suppliers in the mainland, and the relationship was very good. There was no surname among them.
Zhuang Rui is a man from Zhuang, and if he thinks about it more deeply, there seems to be no high-ranking officials named Zhuang in the mainland, so now Zhuang Rui is just an ordinary small businessman in his eyes.
Among this group of people, Zheng Hua was vaguely headed. When they heard that Zheng Hua had lied about Zhuang Rui's origin, several other people showed disdain on their faces, but they did not go forward to find fault. After all, with their
In terms of status, if there were rumors that he was jealous of a woman, it would be a big loss, and he would inevitably be scolded by his elders when he returned home.
However, a few people were already secretly planning in their hearts how to make Zhuang Rui make a fool of himself. After all, this kid from the mainland has been in too much limelight today. Just being held by Qin Xuanbing's arm almost made them...
His limelight was stolen.
Zhuang Rui saw that Mr. Zheng was no longer talking to him, but was talking and laughing with the people next to him in Cantonese. He didn't take it seriously. He hugged Qin Xuanbing and walked a little aside, chatting in a low voice. Zhuang Rui
It feels a little strange. It's almost ten o'clock and people have almost arrived. Why hasn't the charity auction started yet?
At this moment, two people came in from outside the door. One was the British butler. After entering, he stood at the door as if leading someone. The other waiter ran to Sir He's table and whispered
Said something.
What surprised Zhuang Rui was that all the old people who had been sitting there stood up. Even Mr. Guo was helped towards the door, and the one who was sitting in the middle chatting.
The group of middle-aged people also closed their mouths and stood up, pretending to welcome the guests.
"Brother Bai, who is here?"
Qin Xuanbing had been with him all this time, so he definitely didn't know. Zhuang Rui could only ask Bai Mengan, who was not very far away from him.
"You don't know? Today's charity auction was held by Sir He in order to build 100 hope primary schools in the mainland. In addition to the proceeds from the auction, the remaining money was paid by Sir He, so we invited Director Wang from Xinhua News Agency in Hong Kong
, and Commander Huang of the Hong Kong Garrison, these two should be here."
Baimengan saw the people around him crowding around the door. He hurriedly explained to Zhuang Rui and then squeezed past.
Although they are all businessmen, they also need a harmonious and stable environment to do business. Although the Hong Kong Garrison is only a deterrent force, there is no harm in being friendly with them, let alone Xinhua News Agency, that is
The imperial envoys sent to Hong Kong by the mainland government, and if it were not the chief executive of Hong Kong who was in the mainland today, I am afraid they would also come to attend this charity dinner.
When Bai Meng'an and others were surrounding him, two people had already walked in side by side at the door. The one walking on the right was a general wearing a straight military uniform, with a gold star on his shoulder shining brightly under the light. The one on the left
The person is a middle-aged man in his forties, wearing a Chinese tunic suit and looking very capable.
"Hello Mr. Guo, how dare I bother you to come and greet me? I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
As soon as they entered the gate, they saw several old people walking towards them. Director Wang immediately stepped forward to greet them and held Mr. Guo's hand. The general saluted them first and then saluted them.
Several old people asked me how they were, but as for the people next to me, they just nodded slightly and said hello.
After a few people were polite in the hall, Director Wang and Commander Huang were introduced to the table with a few elderly people. People in the venue who felt that they had some status also carried champagne and went to that table with them.
The two distinguished guests said a few words and clinked glasses. As for the young people, they were not qualified and could only stand and watch from a distance.
Sir He saw that tonight's grand finale guest had arrived, so he called to the butler, and a dozen waiters immediately came in, moved the dining table in the middle of the hall to the side, and moved another one covered with red silk.
The square table is placed in the middle of the hall.
