Basong drove Bai Shuo, Cao An, Wei Sa, and Zhu Sui'an along the high wall. According to Basong, within the wall is the manor of the Wala family here. Looking at it, it stretches for hundreds of meters.
It's hard to imagine how big the entire manor would be.
As the road turned a half arc, a wide iron gate appeared in front of you.
Basong got out of the car and negotiated with the gatekeeper, and the big iron gate slowly opened automatically.
When the car drove into the manor, Bai Shuo realized that the manor seemed much larger than he had imagined.
"Brother Shuo, you see, this is called a luxury house. Why don't we go back and build one like this in the new district?" Cao An said.
Bai Shuo shook his head, "Why does the house have to be so big? Sleeping is not just about a bed."
Wei Sa asked: "Boss Bai, what is the new district you are talking about? Is it a place in China?"
Cao An explained enthusiastically: "Yes, it is still deserted there now, but it will become a modern big city in a few years. It is all our territory."
Wei Sa blinked: "So, Boss Bai, you own a city in China?"
Bai Shuo glanced at Cao An and explained: "Don't listen to his nonsense. We are just helping the country with construction. We in China are not like you who can privatize land."
At this time, Basong had parked the car. Bai Shuo and others got out of the car, and the manor's housekeeper came forward to say hello to everyone. After the housekeeper passed through the buildings, everyone came to an open area.
In the center is a pavilion-like building that is hollowed out on all sides and supported only by 12 pillars. The pavilion at the top is shaped like a pagoda, with a total of six floors stacked one on top of another.
In the center of the pavilion, a person was sitting on the ground drinking tea, surrounded by two servants standing with their hands down, waiting for orders.
The housekeeper took everyone to the pavilion, informed the owner and invited everyone in. Basong quickly motioned to Bai Shuo and others to take off their shoes before entering.
After the group of people sat upright in different positions, Bai Shuo took a closer look at the appearance of the host. He was an old man with kind-hearted features, but his brows also revealed a sense of dignity that had been in a high position for a long time.
After mutual introduction, Bai Shuo learned that this old man was originally one of the few elders in the older generation of the Wala family. He had also held important official positions such as a member of the government and the governor of the state.
"Our family has been here for hundreds of years since my grandfather came here from China. Although I grew up here, I still feel very friendly when meeting people from China. By the way, most people in our family have a Hua family.
The name of the country, my name is Jiang Jiye..."
Bai Shuo didn't expect that the old man was in such good interest. From his personal struggle experience to the origin of his entire family... he actually chatted with everyone for nearly an hour as soon as the chat box started.
At the end, the old man remembered the purpose of Bai Shuo's trip and asked: "I heard that you and the Asimi family have some conflicts. What's going on?"
Bai Shuo smiled and said: "Actually, there is no direct conflict with the Asimi family. The main purpose of our trip is to visit you..."
The old man waved his hand: "If you have anything to say, just say it. If it's a small misunderstanding, we can still reconcile it. Of course, if there are major interests involved, then I will still put the interests of the family first."
Bai Shuo thought about what Basong said about this family originally having some conflicts with the Asimi family. Will the old man's so-called reconciliation have any effect?
But there was no time to think too much at this time. Bai Shuo was about to tell everything about Zhenghe Company. A servant hurriedly came to the old man and said a few words. The old man immediately showed a happy face and gave the servant a few words.
Wei Sa explained to Bai Shuo on the side that it seemed that a certain lady from the family had returned. The old man asked his servant to tell the lady that he was receiving several guests from China and would go over to see her soon.
After the servant left, Bai Shuo asked with a smile: "It seems like there is something worth being happy about?"
The old man smiled slightly and said: "My little niece is back. My little niece has loved to pester me since she was a child. Now she is beautiful and elegant, but my sweetheart is closer than my own daughter."
After hearing Wei Sa's translation, Cao An unconsciously asked Wei Sa provocatively: "How beautiful do you think his niece can be? Will she be prettier than you, Wei Sa?"
Wei Sa was immediately blushing with embarrassment at Cao An's words.
Bai Shuo was afraid that Cao An's nonsense would attract other people's attention, so he quickly took over the conversation and asked the old man: "Oh, your little niece goes to school in another place. Is she going home now for summer vacation?"
The old man was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly and said, "Do you think there are any nieces at my age who are still in school? My granddaughter has graduated from college."
Seeing that Bai Shuo and others were confused, the old man continued: "My little niece is my brother's youngest daughter. She is already in her early 40s. She now manages a large foreign trade company and is a strong woman in the business world."
"Um..." Cao An unconsciously said softly from the side: "I thought she was really some kind of beautiful young lady from a rich family. It turns out that she is over forty. Her temperament may be acceptable, but she is so beautiful that there is no hope...
"
Bai Shuo was afraid that Cao An's words would be heard by others, so he leaned over and bumped him hard with his elbow, causing Cao An to shut his mouth.
Seeing that the old man seemed to be a little distracted, Bai Shuo knew that it would be useless to stay any longer, so he stood up and prepared to leave.
Seeing that Bai Shuo was about to leave, the old man no longer tried to persuade him to stay. He just told Bai Shuo that the Walla family always liked to make friends with Chinese people and hoped to have the opportunity to cooperate together. If Bai Shuo encountered any difficulties in Siam, the Walla family could provide him with help.
We will do our best to help wherever possible.
Bai Shuo understood that these were just polite words and did not need to be taken seriously. However, it was better to have one more friend than one more enemy, so he should accept this favor.
Suddenly, a clear and melodious female voice came, and the old man immediately stood up happily and looked behind Bai Shuo.
Everyone turned around and saw a woman wearing a white dress, with a dignified, beautiful appearance, elegant charm, and a faint air of heroism walking towards her.
This woman seemed to be in her thirties. Although she was not as young and beautiful as Wei Sa in appearance, her demeanor and the mature charm revealed in her movements made Wei Sa look overshadowed.
"She is the young lady from the Walla family." Wei Sa said.
Cao An on the side looked a little surprised at this time, and said blankly: "It seems that I have to take back what I just said."
Bai Shuo was about to step forward to express his greetings, but suddenly he felt that this young lady looked familiar, as if he had seen her somewhere before. When he got closer, he suddenly realized: "Ah...it turns out to be her!"
