Chapter 33 Running in
The Xu family's assets may not be considered too much in Xiangjiang, but they have high qualifications.
As Du Yuesheng's money bag, Mr. Xu still had a large number of disciples and believers in Xiangjiang after Du Yue's life and death.
However, later, the affairs of the martial arts were rarely taken care of, and he only served as the president of the Mingzhou Association.
After the reform and opening up, he was one of the first patriotic overseas Chinese to return to the mainland to visit relatives and the first rich people to donate free of charge.
After Mr. Xu passed away in 1982, the Xu family was completely whitewashed.
Xu Chen Aifen's husband is the only son and has two other sisters, one of whom is in politics and is developing very well now.
This is also the main reason why he values the Xu family so much with memories of his previous life. In order to choose a suitable school, he carefully studied the supervisors of several schools.
Zhao Shanhe didn't want to count on them to help. The reason why he valued them was that he wanted to use their social circle as a platform to integrate with their circle.
Mr. Shao and Mr. Huo in this circle are all famous patriotic businessmen.
Xu Chen Aifen has three children, at least in his thirties. His daughter married abroad and his two sons are in Xiangjiang. Both have started a family and a career.
The two sons gave birth to five more children, and now the family is eleven, all living in this big house.
After Mr. Chen was born to Xiangjiang with Du Yue, he gave up his original papermaking industry and invested in a bank.
After his death, Director Xu inherited his shares and served as vice chairman on the bank's board of directors.
Their two children now work in a bank, and the family is a financial elite.
Because he is an old-fashioned family, Xu Chen Aifen used to have no status at home, so she was committed to being a good principal.
Relying on Zhao Shanhe's operations during this period, the pocket money she took out doubled, and she looked proud recently in front of her husband.
The Xu family is an old-fashioned family and values etiquette. Since they have already taken Zhao Shanhe and his family to visit their homes, they have even handed over the money.
They take good care of the emotions of the guests, and will not make people feel alienated, nor will they make you feel depressed.
The age groups of the two families are actually somewhat intertwined. Director Xu is 60 years old and Xu is fifty-seven years old. However, because Zhao Shanhe called Aunt Xu and Chen, they were peers to Zhao's mother, who was 42 years old.
Their eldest son Xu Zhiyong is thirty-six, only six years younger than Zhao's mother, and is now a generation lower.
Zhao Shanhe is only sixteen years old, but he is also a fellow disciple.
If it weren't for Zhao Shanhe's ability, let alone the other party's handover, it would be difficult to even enter this door.
Zhao Shanhe's social skills are pretty good. Although he became the deputy chief engineer of the branch in a large enterprise in his previous life by relying on technology, he also experienced a lot of social scenes.
It took more than ten years to quickly find his own place in a strange occasion.
This is very important, and many people will never find their place in their lifetime.
In this way, a person will appear at a loss and out of place.
Zhao's mother and Xiao Zaba performed like this, but there were only two families at the banquet today, and the other party took good care of their shortcomings. Xu Zhiyong's wife and Xu Zhiliang's wife all took them as the center and took care of all their emotions.
Zhao Shanhe felt very comfortable when he saw this scene. He might not care about these false rituals, but in this world, Zhao's mother is the closest person to him, and he will be happy only if she is respected.
Director Xu is not a talkative person, he doesn’t speak much, and he often observes Zhao Shanhe.
The topic is mainly controlled by Xu Chen Aifen, and her two sons are supporting roles.
But what surprised them was that no matter what topic they talked about, Zhao Shanhe could take on it.
Even the Xiangjiang horse racing, which he knew nothing, could compete with them from the horse culture of the Commonwealth without showing timidity.
Xiangjiang has a strong horse culture. The Xiangjiang Jockey Club is the largest force in Xiangjiang, which is horse racing, and the gambling culture is extended from horse racing, covering every corner of Xiangjiang.
Zhao Shanhe did not hide his background and lack of knowledge about horse culture, but he made up for his shortcomings from another perspective.
Of course the dinner was very rich. They had two chefs at home, both north and south, and there were no shortage of high-end ingredients. They made a large table of hearty dinners.
It was not until they were full of food and left the woman to chat with the children in the large living room that they moved to the entertainment room on the first floor of the bonnet and continued to talk.
The conversation before the meal is a chat, and the conversation after the meal only affects the relationship between the two families in the future.
Like Baijia Road, Majixian Gorge Road, both belong to the mountaintop luxury residential area. The two roads are almost the same as one up and one up, and both overlook the entire Hong Kong Island and the Victoria Bay.
The first floor of the minus is directly connected to the small garden outside, with a dance hall, a billiard room, a cigar room, and a small garden outside can also hold small parties.
Zhao Shanhe and Xu Zhiliang played a table tennis match. Both of them had good skills. Although they were not professional, they played back and forth.
Before the plate was over, Xu Dongcai, who had already changed into casual clothes, came late, and behind him, followed Xu Chen Aifen with a smile.
Seeing his smile, Zhao Shanhe knew that they must have had some discussion, and the topic of discussion must be him, and the effect was pretty good.
Of course, Zhao Shanhe didn't care much. He had sufficient confidence. Even if the Xu family didn't win him over, he wouldn't care too much.
In a few months, he will be shocked to the whole of Hong Kong.
When Xu Donghui changed into casual clothes, it means that he had recognized Zhao Shanhe as a close person. He stood by the table and watched Zhao Shanhe and the others finish the game, and then spoke. "Ahe, do you want to continue playing or chat with me, the old man?"
Zhao Shanhe put the club on the table and smiled: "You can play the ball anytime, but you don't have any chance to ask for advice from Director Xu!"
Dong Xu smiled and said, "I have been experiencing a few years. I'll call me Uncle Xu in the future."
Zhao Shanhe was good at following the flow of good deeds. "Uncle Xu."
I moved to the floor-to-ceiling window. I was blocked by trees. I could only see the light reflected from the city at the foot of the mountain, but it had a unique artistic conception.
"What a good place!"
Xu Dong smiled and said, "Nationals are now in panic. As long as you have money, no matter how good the place is, there is hope to buy it."
Zhao Shanhe smiled and nodded. "There are twelve years left, and this place can become the territory of our Chinese."
Xu Dong looked at Zhao Shanhe's young face and felt a little dazed. He pondered for a while before asking: "Listen to your aunt, Ahe is a nationalist?"
Zhao Shanhe shook his head and said, "You can't say that. I have no interest in politics. I just live in a colony. On this rootless land, I look forward to the future more."
Dong Xu smiled and said, "The time is not ripe now, so it's better to say less about these words in the future. After all, the situation will become more and more serious in the past ten years."
"I understand. The reason why I said this on purpose in front of Aunt Chen is because of my demands."
Director Xu nodded. "Please say."
Xu Chen Aifen brought a few cups of tea, and her two sons hurriedly took it over. Zhao Shanhe also stood up to thank him and took the tea.
Xu Chen Aifen smiled and said, "Don't be polite, just treat my home as yours in the future."
He gave the last cup to Xu and sat down next to him.
Zhao Shanhe sat back in his position and thought about the words. It was obviously not so sharp. "I need to actively integrate into the current upper class in Xiangjiang, because I know very well that only by the recognition of the upper class can I create a stable environment for me.
However, this does not mean that I agree with everyone so much. If you want to be my friend, not everyone can do it. I would rather have few friends and be trustworthy."
Xu Dong asked: "Where is your confidence coming from? Even if you have become a millionaire this year, this asset is nothing in Xiangjiang."
Zhao Shanhe pointed to his head and said, "Human power is inherently poor, but wisdom is not limited. Since last April, after I set great ambitions, I have carefully analyzed the future path.
To be honest, I chose Huangren Academy not because of how good this school is, but mainly because of Aunt Chen.
Because I know that you families from Zhejiang and Shanghai still have some sense of family and country, and have a sense of identity with their Chinese ethnic group.
Of course, this is not regional discrimination. There are also many patriotic families in other places, but more are people who are greedy.
I hope to integrate into you, but I don’t want to get involved in too many external factors and get a relatively peaceful environment.”
Dong Xu asked: "Then how can you prove that you have the strength to win over?"
Zhao Shanhe laughed, not blaming Xu Dong for being condescending in his words.
He is indeed too young and his current foundation is too weak, and he has not been truly recognized.
Zhao Shanhe said: "Uncle Xu, I expressed my dissent at the beginning, just to be honest with you and let you know what you are doing when you help me. I will never talk nonsense at the beginning...
Compared to winning over the word, what I want to hear more is cooperation. I don’t want you to introduce more resources and more relationships to me now. At least, I have to wait until the end of this year to prove my strength.
This matter has ended here for now, and there is no need to go further..."
Xu Dong pondered for a while and asked, "You have earned hundreds of thousands of dollars for your Aunt Chen, but you only ask for so much?"
"Those who know me say I am worried, and those who don't know me say I want what I want? Uncle Xu, you don't know what I want at all!"
This sentence is a little too much, but it can also show the aura of a young person.
Of course, it was a little embarrassed for Xu Dong, but there was Xu Chen Aifen sitting next to him.
She smiled and scolded: "Speak seriously, you are still my student now..."
Zhao Shanhe fell down the slope and begged for mercy. "Yes, yes, I am arrogant. Uncle Xu, I will come back from the Seoul competition in May, and let's discuss the next cooperation plan?"
Xu Dong is sixty years old, and he feels Zhao Shanhe's aura, but he won't get angry because of a word. He nodded and changed the subject and asked, "Do you have confidence in the game?"
Zhao Shanhe smiled. "Of course."
