When Chu Heng's car drove into the manor, Ben Shaming received the news from the security personnel and walked out of the castle with his wife, children and most of the servants to greet him.
They were all wearing formal attire, and it looked like they had been carefully prepared.
The treatment is not very high.
But this has nothing to do with Chu Heng's identity as a businessman, and they don't know much about his strength in the business field. It's all because of his identity as a best-selling author.
Including Benshaming's agreement to Chu Heng's request to visit his home and view his collection of antiques, it was basically because of the outer layer of cultural man he wore.
During this period, most of the upper-class people in Europe and the United States respected and respected writers, scholars, playwrights and other people who had made achievements in the cultural field, and they also liked to associate with such people in order to get involved in the literary world.
Son, let yourself squeeze into this circle to improve your status.
As for how much you admire it?
Give me a chestnut.
Chu Heng attended a banquet at Citi last year. There was a billionaire at that time. When he was introduced to others, instead of introducing his company first, he first focused on his identity as an expert on ancient Greek culture. The other person was very proud of it.
, even his speaking voice is louder than others.
"Welcome, Mr. Chu. My family and I feel very honored to have you here."
When Chu Heng's car stopped in front of the castle, Ben Shaming immediately greeted him enthusiastically. His attitude was completely different from the indifferent attitude he had when they met at Citigroup.
"We meet again, Mr. Abel, I have caused you trouble today." Chu Heng smiled and shook hands with the other party, reached out to take the gift box from Cen Hao, and handed it to the other party: "This is a private auction of my Citigroup
I hope you will like the wood carvings I got at the meeting.”
"Oh, thank you." Ben Shaming took it over in surprise, and immediately introduced his family to Chu Heng.
"This is my wife, Emily, that is my eldest daughter, Vera, and that is my youngest son, Akar. I also have an eldest son, Yanis, but he is not in France now and is studying in London.
"
"Hello, Mr. Chu Heng, it's an honor to meet you."
"Hello, Emily."
…
After Benshamin's family members came up to say hello one by one, his youngest son Akar looked up curiously at his chubby face covered with freckles and asked excitedly: "Sir, are you really a wizard? My classmate
Everyone says you must be a wizard."
The little guy is six or seven years old, chubby, and looks cute and naive.
"What do you think? Little guy?" Chu Heng smiled slightly, took a step forward, raised his hand and placed it in front of Akar, palm down. Then with a thought, colorful candies appeared out of thin air from his palm, clattering.
They fell to the ground and piled up into a small mountain in an instant.
"Oh my God!"
Everyone in the venue looked at the scene in front of them with dumbfounded eyes, and they were very shocked.
They could see clearly that the candy did not come out of his sleeves or anywhere else, but actually came from nothingness!
So, it's not magic!
Akar was very courageous. He picked up a candy from the ground and stuffed it into his mouth. Then he shouted excitedly: "This is true! You must be a wizard! Can you tell me which college you graduated from?"
?Gryffindor?"
"Haha, this is a secret, I can't tell you." Seeing that it was almost done, Chu Heng closed his magical power and reached out to rub Akar's head.
The little guy was immediately disappointed, and then asked with hope: "Then can I become a wizard? Can I receive an invitation to Hogwarts?"
"Sorry, my little Mr. Abel, I don't know this, because this is the dean's right." Chu Heng said apologetically.
"Okay, Akar, don't you think you are rude?" Ben Shaming scolded his youngest son with a serious look on his face, and then looked at Chu Heng, with shock, excitement, awe and other emotions mixed in his eyes.
: "I didn't expect the rumors to be true. You are really a noble wizard."
"Oh? What rumors?" Chu Heng asked curiously.
"It's a rumor from Citigroup." The eldest daughter Vera stared at him with burning eyes, feeling a little excited: "Some people say that you can turn people into stupid pigs, release terrifying fire dragons and water cannons, and...
Give people luck and life!"
"Oh, my God, I didn't expect it to spread like this." Chu Heng smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I must clarify that most of these are rumors."
"Then can you give people luck?" Vera's eyes flashed.
"Not really." Chu Heng shrugged.
After hearing this, Vera and most of the people present couldn't help showing disappointment on their faces, including Ben Shaming.
"That……"
Vera was about to ask more questions when Benshaming's wife Emily stepped forward with an elegant smile on her face: "Benshaming, I think we should invite Mr. Chu Heng in first and then talk about other things. That's it."
It's really rude to stand outside."
"Ah, look at me, I forgot about this in my excitement." Benshaming clapped his head in annoyance, and hurriedly invited Chu Heng into the castle and sat down in the spacious living room.
The furnishings in the living room match the style of the castle. It is very classical European style, with extensive use of Roman columns, reliefs, painted gold and other luxurious decorations, as well as teak furniture and granite floors.
The walls are covered with beige-colored wall coverings with gold patterns, which are bright and elegant. There are many oil paintings hanging on each wall, some are modern decorative paintings, and some are ancient paintings.
But the most eye-catching thing is a black and white photo behind the sofa. It is very large. It shows a middle-aged man wearing the uniform of an eighteenth-century naval officer. He has blond hair, a majestic face, and sharp eyes.
With a hint of ruthlessness.
Chu Heng, who was looking at the living room, raised his eyebrows when he saw the photo and asked, "Who is this?"
"This is my grandfather, Ariel Abel, who was once a lieutenant general in the French Navy. He was a very great man. It was he who made the Abel family, which had been in decline, stand up again, so that we
To this day, I am still enjoying the glory of my ancestors." Benshaming introduced proudly.
But Chu Heng's mind immediately recalled the introduction he had learned about Benshaming's grandfather.
Vice Admiral of the Navy, he participated in the burning of the Old Summer Palace by the Eight-Power Allied Forces, and committed all kinds of crimes including burning, killing, and looting. Most of the Chinese antiques in Benshaming's hands were snatched back by this old dermatitis during that period!
"He should be a very stern gentleman." Chu Heng gritted his back teeth, smiled and looked at the old Abel in the photo with sharper eyes.
"Yes, he is indeed a very strict person. Although I don't have much impression of him, I heard from my father that he was often whipped when he was a child." Benshaming said with a smile.
