Chapter 161: Wedding banquet for wealthy families (I)

Liu Guoqing only spent one night in Shenzhen. After visiting Li Siming's son the next day, he left a whistle made of bullet shell welding and left in a hurry. Before leaving, he threatened to come again when Xiangjiang Electrical Appliances will produce refrigerators, washing machines and so on!

In the blink of an eye, the Spring Festival in 1987 has arrived.

"You are like a fire in winter. The blazing flames warmed my heart. Every time you gently approach me, the fire illuminates me. Your big eyes are bright and twinkling, like the brightest star in the sky..."

This year, Fei Xiang was the first Taiwanese singer to land in the Spring Festival Gala. At that time, he came to the mainland and was under the tremendous pressure from the Taiwanese authorities. Before, Fei Xiang's albums recorded by Guangzhou Pacific Audio and Video Company were no longer interested, but when he sang "Clouds in Hometown" and "A Fire in Winter" at the Spring Festival Gala in 1987, the cartridges were sold for 1.6 million copies. From then on, a generation in the mainland became fascinated by Fei Xiang. This tall and handsome "foreigner" lit the admiration of all women from the age of 16 to 60, and also lit the fire of Daxinganling. When he held his first performance of his solo concert in Shanghai 16 years later, a sketch actor released a ridiculous "important notice" through the big screen: everyone must take fire prevention measures today!

"We also have our own idol!" When the fans who were fascinated by Fei Xiang were still proudly speaking to their children. Only Fei Xiang can awaken their youthful memories, and only Fei Xiang can awaken the dream of the girlhood in bud.

On the sixth day of the first lunar month, it is advisable to get married and travel.

Shuai Xu, Zhang Hua and Yuan Hou returned to Shenzhen from their hometowns. In addition to arranging the work for the new year, they and Li Siming were going to Hong Kong to attend Zeng Zhi's wedding. Several brothers came to Hong Kong together. Originally, Xu Li and Yang Yue would definitely attend Zeng Zhi's wedding, but when they thought of a large number of guests at that time, they both retreated. After completing the customs procedures and walking through the pedestrian passage, Zeng Zhi's driver in Hong Kong, Uncle Cheng, had been waiting for a long time.

"Uncle Cheng, it's such a big trouble for you to pick us up!" Li Siming said politely.

"You're welcome, Mr. Li. Mr. Zeng has given me an explanation. I must wait for you here in advance!" Uncle Cheng said. The "Mr. Zeng" he mentioned certainly does not refer to Zeng Zhi, but to Zeng Zhi's third uncle, the control of the Zeng family in Hong Kong.

"Then let's go!" After Li Siming said that, he squeezed into the same car with his three brothers, fortunately the car is spacious.

"Uncle Cheng, who are there to attend the banquet today?" Li Siming, who was sitting in the passenger seat, was very curious.

"As far as I know, almost all celebrities and wealthy people in Hong Kong are present, you will know then!" Uncle Cheng replied while driving.

"Oh! Uncle Cheng, your car is getting more and more stable!" Li Siming complimented.

"Thank you!" Uncle Cheng showed a smug look, and then he talked about his youthful scenery. Li Siming had heard it countless times.

If you don’t come to Hong Kong, you won’t know that there are many wealthy people in Hong Kong. If you don’t attend such a wealthy wedding banquet, you won’t know what luxury is. The Zeng family’s villa is very large. The garden in front can be transformed into a football field. At this time, it is full of luxury cars. On the other side of the garden is an open-air banquet, filled with flowers, wine and small desserts.

Li Siming and four other brothers got out of the Zeng family's car. The guests thought it must have been a family member, but they didn't expect that four people would fall from a car, one of whom was getting off the co-pilot. Li Siming and others handed over the exquisite invitation, and a concierge loudly informed the titles and names of several people.

It turns out that they are just a more advanced worker, and some people think so. Only a few people know Li Siming's name.

When Zeng Zhi heard Li Siming and others arrive, he quickly accused the people beside him and quickly came over.

"Come on, brothers, hug me!" Zeng Zhi shouted happily from afar.

"Okay, you'd better save some effort and hug your bride!" Xu Dashuai joked.

"Your new outfit is pretty good!" Zhang Hua commented on Zeng Zhi, who was dressed up in a fresh manner.

"The emperor's new outfit? I think you are jealous, right?" Zeng Zhi didn't care.

"Such handsome and very proud!" Li Siming said with a smile, but he added, "I have the qualifications to compete with me back then!"

"Brothers, are you too dissatisfied with your face?" Zeng Zhi expressed his dissatisfaction.

"Then I wish you a day and a day every year?" said Yuan Hou. "It doesn't seem so good. This sounds like a slander!"

"Okay, I beg you not to express your opinions!" Zeng Zhi said depressedly, "I, Zeng Zhi, are not careful in making friends."

Zeng Zhi is the protagonist today, and he still has to greet all kinds of guests. Watanabe Saburo is wandering around with his wife and two sons. At this moment, he is the image of a competent father. When Watanabe saw Li Siming coming, he hurriedly dragged his sons who were having fun and reluctant to meet him.

"Have you been here for a while?" Li Siming greeted Watanabe's Hong Kong wife and asked Watanabe.

"Yes, we are a little person, not a celebrity." Watanabe said to himself, "so it's better to eat, drink, play, and come affordably."

This night is a night for the newlyweds Zeng Zhi and Wu Yawen, but on this occasion, it is difficult to simply be regarded as a wedding. Those who are qualified to come here are rich and famous people who can be called famous in Hong Kong. After greeting the host, the people who came to congratulate him were talking about stocks, investments and land prices. This big garden has become a business place, to be precise, a fame and fortune market. The so-called "the way is different and not to work together" is similar to the saying "no white people can interact with each other". Birds of a feather flock together. Those who can appear here are naturally rich and close people, and of course there are also rumored beauties. Li Siming is ignorant, and most of these people have never even heard of them. Of course, there are the names of a few people, which is well-known to him, such as the "richest man in Li" - Li Siming, who just plagiarized someone's "Yangtze River Scholar Plan".

Li Siming originally thought he already knew Zeng Zhi's family very well, but today he was very eye-opening. The family members are widely distributed, including Taiwan, Malaysia, Singapore, the United States, Brazil and other places, but the relationship is close and distant. Hong Kong is the main body of the family and the strongest. Li Siming refused Zeng Zhi's kindness to introduce him to him. There are so many people, Li Siming doesn't have to spend a while to remember the complex relationship between them and Zeng Zhi. It is better to have never met anyone who has nothing to do with you!

The bride Wu Yawen was born in an ordinary intellectual family. When she married into a wealthy family, she seemed very enviable and looked very glorious. Haven’t you seen those beauties such as Hong Kong Miss Entertainment Celebrities competing to marry into a wealthy family? But the grudges within the wealthy family are not talked about by outsiders, rumors are endless, and tragedies are common, and gossip news is the most interesting thing for tabloids. Zeng Zhi’s pursuit of Wu Yawen was also strongly opposed by the woman’s parents, because they believed that rich families were usually too cruel and ruthless. Zeng Zhi racked his brains for this. Fortunately, his life in mainland China for more than 20 years has left a deep mark on Zeng Zhi. On the surface, he is a very rigorous person, but in fact, his private life is an extremely rigorous person, and he is honest and friendly to others.

Zeng Zhi's third uncle undoubtedly looked at him differently, especially when he saw what Li Siming and others were doing in recent years behind Zeng Zhi. Zeng Zhi was the only one in Zeng Zhi's father, so he gave great support to Zeng Zhi's marriage, and even personally went out to discuss openly with his current in-laws. Therefore, Zeng Zhi was able to successfully marry the beautiful Miss Wu Yawen. From today on, there will be a diamond five missing in Hong Kong.

Li Siming did not think she was an important guest. He and Watanabe and others hid aside while tasting wine and chatting about the mountains. For them, this opportunity was also rare. They could chat so easily and comfortably, and there was a special waiter service beside them. Miss Zheng Yingjie was also lucky to attend the wedding banquet as a private friend of the groom because of her relationship with Li Siming and others. After curiously admiring the luxury of the rich family, she returned to Li Siming and others bored. Because here, she was an unknown person. She had seen others in the TV and newspapers, but others didn't know her. Of course, she also gave her a glory when she went to the Oscars for Li Siming, but a year passed and she had long forgotten.

"Oh, Miss Zheng, when will you invite us to attend such a banquet as the host?" Li Siming held a glass of wine in his hand and joked to Secretary Zheng, who had dressed up seriously today.

"Okay, of course I will invite you, but I won't be able to not send red envelopes?" Secretary Zheng smiled with a white teeth and a red lips.

"This is no problem. I'm going to give you a big diamond, which will make you so beautiful!" Li Siming said with a smile, "The premise is that you have to tell me which dark horse prince is and which day is the auspicious day of the zodiac? I'll prepare in advance!"

"About autumn, I heard that Canadian maple leaves are beautiful in autumn!" Secretary Zheng said generously. I heard that there was something going on.

"Yingjie, what you said is not true, right?" Zhang Hua asked, this guy was too nervous.

"Yingjie? Are you calling you very intimately?" Li Siming said.

Watanabe and others rolled their eyes to him. Only then did Li Siming realize that his brother Zhang Hua was also one of the competitors Yang Yue mentioned.

"So I don't know!" Li Siming slapped Watanabe and Yuan Hou from left to right so that he almost fell to the ground.

The bride Wu Yawen is an entertainment reporter, but this profession will end from now on. Since she is an entertainment reporter, friends who are engaged in related jobs are naturally indispensable. Those rich people don’t know who Li Siming is, and they only think that he is a senior employee of the Zeng family. However, to the bride’s friends, Li Siming’s name is not unfamiliar with the bride’s friends. Therefore, just when Li Siming chatted happily with Watanabe and others and lamented how beautiful time was, these people gathered around, but these reporters and editors who were able to come here were not allowed to bring cameras.

"Director Li, it's a coincidence. I didn't expect to meet you here?" The editor-in-chief named Ding came up to chat with him.

"Are you talking about me?" Li Siming pretended to be confused. He actually had a good understanding of the person who came up to him. "Who are you?"

"Oh, I am the editor-in-chief of "Entertainment Weekly", and my surname is Ding!" Editor-in-chief Ding introduced himself, "Tonight's bride, Miss Wu, is a former employee of this magazine!"

"Oh, is there anything wrong?" Li Siming asked indifferently. The editor-in-chief knew the relationship between Wu Yawen's groom and Li Siming. In fact, after leaving Hollywood, Li Siming wrote an article about his views on Hong Kong movies for the sake of Zeng Zhi's good looks and handed it to Wu Yawen. However, the editor-in-chief was embarrassed and did not publish the wording of the bad.

"Director Li, can you accept an exclusive interview from this magazine? We will carefully plan it for you?" Editor-in-chief Ding asked hopefully.

"If you want me to talk about movies, then I tell you that I have been not a director for many years!" Li Ming felt very unhappy with him calling him director again and again. "I felt dizzy when I saw the word movie. There is no way. For my health and my son's future happiness, I can only avoid talking about it!"

"Then let's talk about your family. I believe that movie fans will be very interested!" Editor Ding said.

This sentence caused trouble for Li Siming.

"When I was in Hong Kong, I usually lived in a 3-story residence at No. 79 Deep Water Bay Road. I will be here too tomorrow. I welcome you to come. The workers in my residence will be on holiday tomorrow. You can just come in." Li Siming suppressed his anger that wanted to beat people.

"This address? It sounds quite familiar." Editor Ding said.

"Of course, the place where I live is of course a noble residence!" Li Siming said with a smile.

"That's great, let's see you!" Editor Ding left with tactfulness.

"Okay, see you all!" Li Siming said to him without changing his expression.

Seeing that Editor Ding and Li Siming had a great time talking, more people in the entertainment industry gathered around him, and Li Siming all drove away with the same words.

Seeing that these people had left, Secretary Zheng asked curiously: "Mr. Li, when did you have a residence on Deepwater Bay Road?"

"Of course there is nothing. I just said something casually. They were killed or were bitten by a dog. But I can't blame me!" Li Siming said.

"But I remember that newspapers introduced that place, it seemed to be Mr. Li's private residence." Secretary Zheng stretched out his delicate finger and pointed at a group of people not far away.

There, the "Champaign Li" was chatting and laughing with a group of the most famous wealthy people in Hong Kong around Zeng Zhi's uncle who came from afar. Several of these people were members of the Basic Law Draft Committee, and some of them, including "Champaign Li", were also directors of China International Trust Investment. This is an external window directly under the central government, and the chairman was Zeng Zhi's uncle.

"No way?" Li Siming opened his mouth wide, with an incredible expression. This lie is really well-informed.

"Really!" Secretary Zheng nodded seriously. She didn't think Li Siming was unintentional. "You really didn't mean it? Then why don't you talk about my family?"

On the other end, Zeng Zhi's uncle seemed to notice Li Siming's gaze and waved to him from afar, meaning to let him go. Li Siming pretended not to see it.

"I really didn't mean it!" Li Siming defended, "I just heard that there are several houses there that are not cheap, just say that."

"Don't worry about the house, Mr. Zeng will tell you to come over!" Secretary Zheng said.
Chapter completed!
