Colorful Spirit Eyes

Chapter 141 Trip to Tai O (1)

Since she agreed to Mr. He's invitation, Eucommia ulmoides must keep her word. After staying in the capital for one night, I told my two beloved wives about their lovesickness, and then sent the three samurai swords promised to Professor Fu to the university research institute where Professor Fu worked. Eucommia ulmoides took Liu Bo, Zhou Zhen and others to fly Went to Tai O.

Xiang Tianqiang arrived earlier than Du Zhong. When Du Zhong and others left the airport building, Mr. He's personal assistant A Wei walked up to him with a smile, bowed slightly to Du Zhong and said politely: Mr. Du, welcome to Tai O, you have had a hard journey.

His politeness made Eucommia a little uncomfortable. As for the hierarchical system that has been preserved in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, Eucommia has always wondered why there are still people who are willing to be slaves in the [-]st century. He waved his hands and said to Ah Wei in embarrassment: "Don't call me that, just call me Du Zhong, or Mr. Du. If my grandfather hears this name of Du Zhong, he will break my legs." No.

Ah Wei is not young anymore. Although he is not as old as Mr. He, he is still nearly sixty years old. For such an old man to bend down and call him Mr. Du, Du Zhong feels a little uncomfortable.

Ah Wei smiled slightly, nodded and said: Well, Mr. Du, please get in the car. The master has prepared a reception banquet at home.

Du Zhong nodded and said hello to Xiang Tianqiang. Obviously, the latter lowered his posture in front of Ah Wei. Originally, Xiang Tianqiang was going to sit in the next few cars, but he didn't dare to be too presumptuous in front of Ah Wei. But Eucommia ulmoides didn't care about that and directly pulled Xiang Tianqiang to sit in the first car.

Ah Wei didn't say anything about this. When everyone got in the car, as if it was a deliberate arrangement, the convoy took a large circle in the city along the main road, just to let Eucommia take a good look at the scenery of Tai O. generally. Ah Wei also pointed out some famous places from time to time and explained Eucommia ulmoides.

Not to mention, it was indeed the first time for Eucommia ulmoides to come to Tai O, and I was really curious about this city, which is known as the gambling capital in China. Although I don’t know why Mr. He insisted on taking me to this trip, but now that I’m here, I can’t do it like the joke goes: Mountain cannons enter the city, tie a hemp rope around your waist, watch a movie, don’t know the name, and walk by , asking something unclear.

Ah Wei smiled and pointed to Du Zhong, a building not far away with two huge bronze statues at the door, and said: "That is the Putin Casino run by Mr. Du. If Mr. Du is interested, we can go and play."

Looking in the direction A Wei pointed, Eucommia was immediately taken aback and said to her heart: How impressive. I saw precious elephants made of pure brass placed on the left and right of the large door, which were completely cast according to the size of a real adult elephant. This pair of precious elephants alone is worth a lot of money. Looking inside, the large and magnificent door is enough to allow seven or eight people to enter and exit side by side at the same time, and seven or eight people will not look crowded.

Du Zhong shook his head. He had no interest in gambling. He was content to see what the casino looked like from a distance. He opened his mouth and said to Ah Wei: "Let's forget it. It's not good to keep Mr. He waiting for a long time. I don't like gambling very much." By the way, Uncle Wei, how many casinos like this are there in Tai O?

Ah Wei didn't even need to think, he said directly: "Currently, there are three companies with legal gambling licenses in Tai O." The rest of the small gambling stalls totaled [-]. Of course, not counting those that are too small.

After hearing the numbers revealed by Ah Wei, Eucommia was a little surprised. He asked doubtfully: So, if it’s illegal, is it okay?

Ah Wei smiled and shook his head and said: Tai O itself is a city dominated by gambling. There is no such thing as legal or illegal here, only credibility or credibility. Having a legal gambling license means that it can attract more external attention. Small gambling stalls that cannot obtain a gambling license will also attract the attention of many tourists, which can not only promote the prosperity of the tourism industry, but also support the local people. Many people, why not do it? As long as they don't go too far, they will usually turn a blind eye. The master once said that blocking is worse than sparing. We can abide by the rules and not be afraid of them. The more we do, the bigger we will have more room for development.

Du Zhong thought about Mr. He's words, secretly raised his thumb and said: You are worthy of being the king of gambling. Such courage and vision are really extraordinary. He looked at Xiang Tianqiang, who seemed to be running this business in Hong Kong Island, and said with a smile: No wonder Brother Xiang likes to run to Tai O. It turns out he comes here to learn from the scriptures.

Xiang Tianqiang laughed and said: This is only one aspect. Having the opportunity to learn from Uncle Wei and Mr. He will naturally bring many benefits.

If it were in the past, with someone like Xiang Tianqiang, Awei would not even look at him seriously. After all, his status in the world is not above a heavyweight. Now that Eucommia ulmoides is here, Awei is given enough face.

He smiled at Xiang Tianqiang for the first time and said: Aqiang has done quite well in Hong Kong Island, but his skills are still a bit petty, like those dirty tricks. If you can't use them in the future, don't use them. After all, Hong Kong and Macao are like today. But it’s no different from Hong Kong and Macao in the early years, where the overall situation must be the most important thing.

Xiang Tianqiang attached great importance to Awei's words. Hearing this, Xiang Tianqiang sat up straight and nodded respectfully like a junior who was listening to instructions: "Uncle Wei said yes, Aqiang has remembered it."

Ah Wei nodded with satisfaction, waved his hands and said with a smile: If you have anything you don't understand, you can come to me at any time. Although I have been out of the world for a long time, many juniors in the sect still give me, an old man, some kind of pity.

Xiang Tianqiang's eyes suddenly lit up, he climbed up the pole and said with a smile: "Thank you, Uncle Wei, for your support."

Eucommia ulmoides doesn't know anything about the inside and outside of the door, but looking at the conversation between the two, she couldn't help but wonder in her heart, is there still a gangster in this era? He grinned secretly, disapprovingly and just treating it as amusement.

While several people were chatting, the motorcade stopped in a large and luxurious manor. Du Zhong and others got out of the car and were shocked by the gorgeous decoration here at first sight. The ivory white marble bricks on the floor, beams and pillars, rockery, fountain pool, racecourse, and mini golf course were all there. What surprised Eucommia ulmoides was that there was actually a large grape trellis in the corner of the large manor. By visual calculation, the grape trellis was as big as three or four acres of land. At this time, there was a dedicated person there. Trim and groom it.

Awei saw Eucommia ulmoides staring at the grape trellis in the distance, and explained with a smile: My master likes to eat grapes the most, so he made such a grape trellis at home, not for eating, but because he likes to watch the grapes running away. The full grapes look so pleasant hanging on the shelf, the master said, that is called the satisfaction of a good harvest.

After hearing this, Du Zhong nodded. He suddenly felt that life was really just like this. Turning around, he saw at a glance that the old man sitting in a wheelchair was looking at him and others at the door with a smile.

Seeing the old man, Eucommia ulmoides also smiled. Although he didn't know why the old man insisted on making this trip, he still admired what the old man did. He quickly walked a few steps to get closer, bent down and saluted, and shouted: Mr. He.

Ah Wei was already standing behind the old man at this time. Mr. He smiled and nodded to Eucommia ulmoides, waved his hand and said: Let's go home and talk. After he said this, Ah Wei's expression suddenly changed. He unconsciously raised his eyes and glanced at Eucommia ulmoides opposite him. He had been following Mr. He for decades. Ah Wei could guess some of his master's thoughts, but what A Wei couldn't figure out was why the master chose him. The person would be the young man in front of me who he had never met before.

When everyone entered the luxuriously decorated hall, a lady with an elegant figure and outstanding appearance quickly came forward to greet him. She was holding a blanket in her hand. When she got closer, she gently covered Mr. He's legs with the blanket and said angrily: It's windy today, but don't get cold.

Mr. He smiled kindly and nodded, turned to Eucommia ulmoides and pointed to the lady in front of him and introduced: "This is my wife, you can just call her Aunt Mei."

ah? ······After hearing this, Eucommia was stunned and said to her heart: What generation are these talking about? Somewhat embarrassed, she shouted: Mei... Aunt Mei.

Aunt Mei was also very confused as to what happened to her old man today. Why did such a good young man call her by his nickname? You know, even the old man's sons have never called themselves that. Due to the majesty of the old man, Aunt Mei did not dare to ask any more questions. She nodded to Eucommia ulmoides with a smile and said: "Sit down quickly." After saying that, he ordered a few servants to bring tea and water to Du Zhong and others, and they were busy for a while. She knew that the person who could be personally received by her old man must not be a simple person.

Ah Wei pushed Mr. He to a place close to the sun, and Eucommia ulmoides also sat on the sofa not far away. Mr. He raised his head and looked at Xiang Tianqiang, who was a little restrained. He laughed and waved his hand to him and said, "Aqiang, don't be restrained when you come to my place. Sit down too."

Xiang Tianqiang was flattered and agreed, and quickly sat aside. He said he was sitting, but in fact it was just his butt occupying the side. In front of this old man, he really didn't dare to be presumptuous at all.

Du Zhong didn't have so many worries. Looking at the luxurious decorations in the house, he praised: Mr. He's home is so beautiful.

Mr. He looked at Eucommia ulmoides with a smile, raised his eyebrows and asked: What? Like it here?

Du Zhong nodded and smiled: That's natural. Who wouldn't like such a beautiful manor? I also built a courtyard house in the capital. Although the area is quite large, compared with Mr. He's home, mine is just a shack.

Mr. He seemed to be particularly happy today. After listening to Du Zhong's self-deprecation, he smiled and pinched a grape on the table, put it into his mouth and chewed it. He spit out the grape skin and threw it into the trash can. Then he smiled and said: You If you like it, I'll give it to you.

As soon as he said this, everyone including Aunt Mei looked at Eucommia ulmoides in shock, especially Aunt Mei. She knew better than anyone what this manor meant. She immediately narrowed her eyes and looked at Eucommia ulmoides. She looked up and down, but no matter how she looked at him, she didn't think there was anything unusual about this person...
