When the Spring Festival came in 1971, both the poor and the rich set off firecrackers in front of their homes; children even ran around in the streets carrying homemade lanterns!
The air is full of festive atmosphere and full of New Year atmosphere.
"Brother, second brother, this is not good! Although you two are my bosses, Ajian didn't invite you to the banquet tonight. You can just ride on my car. I can't say whether you can enter the gate.
allow!"
Xu Sanshao, with his meticulous Sanqi hairstyle and a black tuxedo, looked gorgeous, but at this moment he was complaining to his two brothers, Xu Shijian and Xu Shiwen.
"Stop talking nonsense! You and Shi Zhijian are best friends, and you don't know? We are your bosses, how can he still shut out the two of us?" Xu Shijian scolded.
"You can't say that!" Xu Sanshao looked very embarrassed, "It was in the past. In the past, A Jian was just an ordinary businessman, similar to you and me. But it is different now. Now he is a member of the Legislative Council!
Congressman! He is so majestic and sharp! People who want to see him line up from Tsim Sha Tsui to Sha Tau Kok! Wouldn’t it be embarrassing for me to take you there hastily like this?"
"What an embarrassment for your size!" Xu Shijian couldn't help but stretched out his hand and gave the younger man a slap, "Don't drag me here anymore. Do you think we don't know that you just want to show off? You want to show off? Anyway, you won't take us there today.
From now on, brothers won’t have to do it!”
"Wow, so cruel?" Xu Sanshao looked surprised.
…
In fact, Xu Sanshao is right. Today is different from the past. Shi Zhijian is no longer the young Hong Kong tycoon he used to be. He wears the title of "Member of Parliament" on his head, which is enough to make many Hong Kong big guys flock to him.
Today coincides with the Chinese New Year, and there is already a long line of people outside the Shi family's mansion near Victoria Peak, all coming to pay New Year's greetings to the newly elected "Member Shi". Traffic was so jammed around the area that the police station had to dispatch the police force to help maintain order.
"Wow, the Shi family is so sharp, so many big guys come to visit!" A plainclothes man took a rare break and took out a cigarette and said lazily.
"Yes, this place is comparable to a big theater. It's packed with people! Those who didn't know better thought there was going to be a big show here!" Another police officer reached out for a cigarette and put it in his mouth.
"Be careful when you do things later. These people are all respectable. We little police officers can't afford to offend them!"
"Of course I know! That Ah Chai who jumped on the street almost caused trouble just now and dared to intercept Young Master Huo!"
"I can't blame Achai for this. Mr. Huo only had one invitation, but he invited his friends over. Achai is also on business! The Shi family has spoken, and one invitation is for one guest!"
While the two were talking, they saw Mr. Xu's Bentley approaching.
Ah Xiang finally found a parking space and parked the car, then got out of the car in a panic and helped open the door.
As soon as Xu Sanshao got out of the car, he yelled at him: "You're a street rusher, Xiang. You only parked your car for a long time. Do you want me to replace you?"
"No, Third Young Master!" Axiang pointed to the parking lot with a grimace, "Look, it's full! There are so many people and cars! It's good that I can park the car!"
Xu Sanshao looked around, and it was really like this. Luxury cars neatly occupied the parking lot, and some were even crowded on the roadside and directly pressed against the curb.
"It's true that A Jian didn't build a bigger parking lot even though he was a member of parliament!"
"Stop complaining, let's go in quickly! Ah Xiang, take the gifts we prepared for Councilor Shi!" Xu Shijian and Xu Shiwen got out of the car and ordered loudly.
"Hey, that's good!" Ah Xiang hurriedly opened the back cover of the car and took out a lot of things.
Xu Sanshao led his eldest and second brothers towards Shi Zhijian's villa with very strong steps, and said: "I am very familiar with this place, I come here almost every three to five! Sister Yufeng is also very good to me, always letting me stay to eat.
Rice!" After saying that, he added, "Follow closely, don't lose it! Especially don't talk when you get to the door, I'll take care of everything!"
Seeing Xu Sanshao's appearance, Xu Shijian and Xu Shiwen were furious. If it weren't for their aggressive younger brother Youqiu, they would probably have arrested him and taken advantage of him!
Sure enough, the three of them were stopped when they arrived at the gate.
Xu Sanshao took out his invitation letter and showed it to the doorman. The man looked at Xu Sanshao and waved, indicating that he could come in!
Xu Sanshao stepped in. Xu Shijian and Xu Shiwen hurriedly followed, but were stopped!
"You don't have an invitation, so you can't come in!"
Xu Shijian and Xu Shiwen looked at each other, so embarrassed!
Xu Sanshao was even more embarrassed and pointed to his nose, "Don't you know who I am? Councilor Shi and I are good friends and besties! We are good buddies who spent time together in Monopoly!"
"As Congressman Shi said, no one can enter without an invitation!" said the plainclothes man holding the door.
Xu Sanshao had a dark face and was about to get angry when Wangcai, the steward of the Shi family, ran over and bowed with his hands: "Sorry! Sorry! I'm late! I knew it was the third master's voice from all the way!"
Then he turned back to the plainclothes man who held the door and said, "This is Congressman Shi's best friend, you can go in!"
As soon as the plainclothes man heard this, he quickly got out of the way.
Xu Sanshao was now proud of himself. He snorted and turned around to say to his eldest and second brothers: "Let's go!" When he entered, he turned back and cursed at the plainclothes man: "I'll beat you to the street!"
The plainclothes gatekeeper was doing his duty faithfully but was scolded and felt aggrieved.
But the housekeeper Wangcai came over and handed him a red envelope and said: "Thank you for your hard work! This is a reward from Councilor Shi! Please keep it!"
"Uh, isn't this bad?"
"Nothing wrong! Take the tea!" Wangcai stuffed the red envelope into the other person's hand, then turned around and caught up with the third young master and the others.
The plainclothes guard looked at the red envelope in his hand, opened it and said, "My dear, there are three hundred yuan!"
Looking at the other companions, they are all enjoying themselves happily now, and all the hard work and fatigue before has been wiped away!
…
"Ajian, I'm afraid he will have to move again soon!" Xu Sanshao, accompanied by the housekeeper Wangcai, walked along the garden corridor towards the villa building.
Xu Shijian and Xu Shiwen walked side by side and looked at the place where Shi Zhijian lived for the first time. An idea came to their mind. According to Shi Zhijian's status, I am afraid that as the third young master said, this place will be replaced soon. After all, it is "too small"
——At this moment, the entire garden is full of people, it can even be said to be overcrowded. Many people don’t even have room to stand, and they are crowded in the corridor, blocking the corridor!
"Sorry, borrow the light! Borrow the light!" Butler Wangcai kept bowing to the distinguished guests standing in the corridor. Those people turned around and saw that it was Xu Sanshao and the others who were here. Those who knew him said hello to the third master and the others. Those who did not know him.
He also smiled and nodded.
At this moment, Xu Shijian and Xu Shiwen, the two eldest sons of the Xu family, were in the most complicated moods.
To sum up, before Shi Zhijian became famous, in the eyes of the Xu family, he was just a low-income youngster. They even felt that Shi Zhijian and Xu Sanshao were close because they wanted to take advantage of him in order to get ahead in Hong Kong.
Grain locust
At that time, Xu Shijian and Xu Shiwen were very high-minded, so how could they take Shi Zhijian as a small character seriously? They even felt that their third brother Xu Shixun's relationship with Shi Zhijian was beneath their status!
But in the blink of an eye, Shi Zhijian rose like a comet in Hong Kong, but the Xu family began to decline gradually after the death of Mr. Xu. Especially the two brothers, their business is not going well now. On the contrary, the third brother Xu Shixun is very proud of himself and relies on Xu's construction.
The company sings all the way!
If things develop like this, that's all. At most, Shi Zhijian is lucky and has become a young tycoon in Hong Kong. The Xu family is still a prominent family in Hong Kong, and they are already weighing on Shi Zhijian!
But things are unpredictable. Now Shi Zhijian has become the third Chinese member of the Legislative Council in the history of Hong Kong. It can be said that it has skyrocketed! They have to look up and look up. Today, they have to rely on their younger brother Xu Sanshao to come and talk to him.
Shi Zhijian strives for friendship!
It was a lie that Xu Shijian and Xu Shiwen were not disappointed, but at this moment, when they saw the VIPs who had come to curry favor with Shi Zhijian, they actually knew many of them, and they were also wealthy people in Hong Kong. For a moment, the two brothers felt disappointed.
He was actually comforted and his expression became calmer.
Yes, even big families like the Huo family, the Lee family, and the Shaw family are here to support us, so who are we, the Xu family in Hong Kong? It’s not embarrassing to come here to pay New Year’s greetings!
…
"Third Young Master, here!"
Just as Xu Sanshao was looking around, someone not far away greeted him.
Third Young Master Xu quickly looked around, only to see that his best friend, Young Master Huo, was dressed more formally than himself, and his hair was combed into a middle parting, waving to him.
"Borrowed it! Borrowed it!" Xu Sanshao hurriedly squeezed in with his eldest and second brothers.
When Huo Dashao saw them coming over, he first greeted Xu Shijian and Xu Shiwen politely, then took a glass of champagne and handed it to Xu Sanshao and said: "Drink first!"
Xu Sanshao borrowed the wine glass and said, "Why are you here? Why don't you go upstairs?"
Mr. Huo smiled bitterly and said: "I want to, but I'm not qualified yet!" After a pause, "Now the upstairs is full of those ghost guys who are officials, even the secretary of the Hong Kong governor is here, we ordinary people are gone
what?"
"Wow, Jianzi is so good, even the ghost guy wants to fawn over him!" Xu Sanshao looked envious.
"Jian Zai? You used to call him A Jian, but now you call him Jian Zai?"
"Why, it can't be done? Even if he becomes emperor, he will still be my brother!"
Before Xu Sanshao finished his righteous words, he rolled his eyes and saw the female family members, all of whom were bright and beautiful, especially the beautiful women.
"Hey, hey, hey, you're getting rich! There are so many beauties!" Xu Sanshao showed his true colors.
"Don't try to trick them! They are all well-known and have their own wives!" Young Master Huo warned, "Some even have children!"
Sure enough, there were still a group of children playing and playing on the grass, while the beauties were surrounding the buffet table, whispering to the music, and no one knew what they were talking about.
"Don't worry, I know what I know!" Xu Sanshao said, "Of course I won't mess with those who have husbands, but not necessarily those eldest ladies and ladies from famous families! Now we have the laws of the Qing Dynasty, and one man can marry several
My wife’s!”
"Scumbag!"
"What are you talking about? You even learned A Jian's curse words? A Jian isn't even more of a scumbag? One drags three!"
Just when Mr. Xu and Mr. Huo were bickering, they saw a man walking toward him with a straight back and a wary look.
"Hello, are these Mr. Xu and Mr. Huo, right? I am Li Wenbin, Mr. Shi's subordinate. I used to work in G4 and am now in charge of banquet security!"
"It turns out to be Brother Li, whom I have admired for a long time!" Xu Sanshao cynically extended his hand.
Li Wenbin looked a little embarrassed and hurriedly shook hands with the third young master.
"But I don't know why Brother Li, who is hanging out in G4, is here now. What does he have to do with us two?"
Li Wenbin smiled: "Mr. Shi invites you to come up for a meeting!"
"Ajian, let us go up? You should have said it earlier! Why are you so long-winded? Damn it!" After finishing speaking, Xu Sanshao turned back and pointed at his eldest and second brothers, wanting to say something.
Before he could speak, Li Wenbin said: "Mr. Shi has said, please also invite Young Master Xu and Young Master Xu to come up together!"
Xu Sanshao was happy, "This Ajian hasn't forgotten us yet!"
Seeing that Mr. Huo had already gone upstairs, Mr. Xu shouted from behind: "Slow down! I'm in a hurry to reincarnate!"
…
When Xu Sanshao and the others went upstairs, they found that the huge living room was already full of people. Hong Kong real estate tycoon Li Zhaoji, Cheung Kong Industries tycoon Li Jiacheng, Hong Kong chartering king, Hong Kong Lee family Li Xuexuan, Hong Kong Dai family
Dai Fengnian and so on, everyone is here!
Mr. Huo had sharp eyes, and when he saw there was an empty seat behind him, he hurriedly rushed over! Xu Sanshao said "Holy shit" again, and rushed towards the empty seat with his eldest brother!
Fortunately, Liang Youcai, who maintained the order of the meeting, saw that there were too many people and not enough seats, so he temporarily brought chairs over for everyone to sit down.
At this time, Shi Zhijian had not yet appeared, and the scene was filled with smoke. The bosses were all smoking cigarettes, crossing their legs, and looking aloof.
"What are you doing? It's true that Shi Zhijian, even if he becomes a member of parliament, he can't put on airs! We've been waiting for so long and he still hasn't shown up!"
"Yes, we are all people with status and status. We came here to support him during the Chinese New Year, but he didn't even show his face!" Several bosses muttered dissatisfiedly.
"Hey, if you're not happy, just leave! No one is forcing you!" Xu Sanshao happened to be sitting behind them and couldn't help but said.
The two of them looked back and saw that Shi Zhijian's best friend immediately laughed: "We were joking! In fact, we all respect Councilor Shi. Don't take what you just said to the Third Young Master seriously!"
"Yeah, we just grumble casually! Haha!"
The two of them no longer dared to gossip and hurriedly corrected their attitude, fearing that Xu Sanshao would file a complaint and make it impossible for them to get off the stage.
In fact, Shi Zhijian didn't come late on purpose and kept everyone waiting. At this moment, he was sending those ghost officials away.
After finally sending these people away, he turned back, entered the meeting hall, bowed his hands and apologized to everyone.
"Sorry to keep everyone waiting! I'm really busy today. I just saw off a bunch of friends..."
Shi Zhijian explained a few words and then ordered his servants to change the tea for the distinguished guests. He sat down at the host's seat and prepared to start today's agenda.
