Chapter 137: Carnival Party Before School Starts
Chapter 137: Carnival Party Before School Starts
By the time Fu Ziyan and her friends finished eating at the food stall, it was already completely dark.
A few people slowly took a car to the Peninsula Hotel.
"Xu Tingyang really knows how to have fun. He organized a party without his parents' knowledge and even held it in the Peninsula. He's not afraid at all of being exposed and his family cutting off his pocket money!" Gu An Ning marveled.
Xi Qingqing pretended to be profound and mysterious and smiled, "He has a talisman. Even if his crime is exposed, his pocket money won't necessarily be cut off."
Gu An Ning looked over curiously, "What amulet?" She was wondering why there was a melon that she didn't get to eat!
Fu Ziyan recalled the contents of the business newspaper over the past two days and chuckled softly, "The eldest and second sons of the Xu family are having a great time fighting each other. I'm just hoping Xu Tingyang can have a good time out there. Didn't Ningning share with me last year that Mr. Xu's new concubine is a close friend of Mr. Xu's mother?"
The Xu family was a wealthy and powerful family. It was no exaggeration to say that half of the biscuits and sauces sold in Hong Kong and even Southeast Asia came from the Xu family's company. The only problem was that the eldest wife died young and left no children. The three sons of the Xu family were all born out of wedlock and had equal inheritance rights.
The eldest and second young masters are fighting on equal terms. Isn't their only tacit understanding to drive the playboy third brother out of the battlefield? I just don't know whether Xu Tingyang is really a playboy or he is still sleeping on straw and tasting gall.
Xi Qingqing and Fu Ziyan exchanged a glance, and simultaneously brushed aside the topic, jokingly saying, "Our eldest lady is the one who's well-informed."
Fu Ziyan blinked, "It's the same with you."
Su Tunan looked at Xi Qingqing gently and did not express his opinion on this topic.
Gu An Ning widened her eyes, feeling confused for a moment. It was true that she had said the gossip that her best friends shared the same husband, but wasn't she also talking about Young Master Xu moving his business to the Peninsula Hotel? How did this become a dispute over succession? Hiss, the Xu family was in such a mess!
However, seeing that the friends were talking about the Peninsula Hotel's recent soft furnishings, Gu Anning happily joined in the conversation, "Their new soft furnishings are quite elegant, but I still prefer the fresh summer style from a few months ago..."
As soon as I entered the hotel, I chatted for a few words when the lobby manager came out to greet me with a smile, "Miss Fu, Miss Xi, good evening to the young masters and ladies. Are you going to Mr. Xu's party?"
Fu Ziyan nodded, "We can just go up by ourselves, no need for a guide."
"Yes, have a good time."
The lobby manager breathed a sigh of relief after watching Fu Ziyan and others get on the elevator. He really didn't expect that Miss Fu would also come to participate.
He knew that Mr. Fu held a 10% stake in The Peninsula Hotel, and Miss Fu was his only daughter and heir, making her a future shareholder. Without mentioning the future, let's just say that now, if she was dissatisfied with the hotel's service, a casual complaint between father and daughter would be enough for Mr. Fu to propose a rectification in the board meeting, and the employees would have to run around.
He didn't have time to calm down before quickly instructing his men to notify July, the person in charge, "Tell her to quickly prepare Miss Fu's favorite rose tea." He took a breath and repeatedly warned, "Remember, it must be Lapsang Souchong black tea brewed with French dried rose leaves."
This young lady has come to the hotel for afternoon tea several times and always orders this dish. If the tea base or rose tea is changed, she won't drink it much. This is recorded in the VIP file.
Fu Ziyan had no idea how anxious the lobby manager was. She considered herself gentle and polite, and never deliberately made things difficult for service staff.
A few people chuckled as they walked towards the presidential suite where the party was taking place. As soon as they opened the door, they felt the jubilant atmosphere inside.
A group of people were playing Texas Hold'em around a table, a group were dancing tango together, a group were tasting wine and guessing the origin around a long table, and there was a more unusual group, sitting in the wine tasting area, raising glasses and chatting about projects.
Harlan was playing Texas Hold'em, and Isabella was sitting next to him cheering him on. She was the first to see Fu Ziyan and her group enter the room and exclaimed in surprise, "Selene, are you free?"
Isabella's voice quickly attracted everyone's attention, so before Fu Ziyan had time to sit down, she was greeted with caring voices from many friends.
Fu Ziyan thanked her friends for their concern and replied with a smile, "Yes, school starts tomorrow, shouldn't we be unsealed today?"
I received envious looks from my friends.
Xu Tingyang was the first to speak. "Being grounded is okay, but my dad actually chased me and beat me with a stick."
Everyone cast their gazes in awe at the warrior.
Monika had just finished dancing for a long time and was exhausted. She rested her hand on her partner's shoulder and joined the group chat. "My mom isn't that cruel, but when I was grounded by my mom last year, there was no free day before school started!"
Harlan added as he played his cards. "Last month, when I was in America, I borrowed my cousin's car and raced around for a bit. The police caught up with me and my parents had to pay the fine. My dad ended up locking me up for a month. Not only did my vacation get ruined, but he also cut off my trust dividends for six months."
"Racing? Harlan, you've got a really busy holiday!"
Gu Anning had a different focus, "You've been cut off from pocket money for half a year, and you're still playing so big?" When people like them play Texas Hold'em, they usually count in the hundreds for a round.
"I have enough food to last me. If not, I'll just leave this watch. We should have fun when we go out!" Harlan waved his hand indifferently.
"Selene, feel free to play whatever you want!" As the organizer of this place, Xu Tingyang naturally had to come and greet everyone.
But they were all young people, used to playing, and no one was willing to be falsely polite. They just responded and quickly slid into the play area that interested them.
Xi Qingqing and Su Tunan went straight to the tango area, while Gu Anning went to the wine guessing area to join in the fun.
Fu Ziyan was not busy playing, she successfully became the unique person in the place.
The reason was simple, she heard them talking about tourism.
Hong Kong's tourism industry has been booming since the 1960s and will continue to grow in popularity. Now is a good time to enter the market.
Fu Ziyan wants to invest.
Although she is not short of money, she will not despise having more money. With such a great opportunity to make money right before her, it would be foolish not to invest!
Seeing Fu Ziyan take a seat, Duan Yushu was delighted and asked, "Selene, are you also interested in the tourism industry?"
Fu Ziyan smiled, "I am a little interested. Can you please talk more about it, Brother Duan?"
As soon as Duan Yushu saw Fu Ziyan's standard working smile, he knew there was a chance.
"As a free port and a major oriental metropolis, Hong Kong has been attracting a large number of holidaymakers from Europe and the United States in recent years. Inbound tourist spending has been increasing year by year, showing encouraging growth. I believe Hong Kong is about to enter a stage of mass development characterized by integrated tourism. If we invest in the tourism industry now, it is definitely a great opportunity..."
"Thank you, Brother Duan, for clearing up my confusion." Fu Ziyan thanked him with a smile, and returned to her playful state with a relaxed and comfortable look. "When is Brother Duan planning to start a company? If you don't mind, I'd be happy to invest in it."
Duan Yushu laughed out loud, "Everyone in this circle knows that you are the new 'Midnight Glove'. How could I refuse your investment?"
Fu Ziyan curled her lips, picked up the rose tea that July had just brought, and clinked glasses with Duan Yushu, "Then I wish us victory in advance."
