Chapter 110: The Gift
The rich people who were chatting looked at each other, and then they all came out with Ma Xiong, Xia Ruofei also took two steps and said, "I'm really sorry to let you seniors wait for me!"
Ma Xiong smiled heartily: "We just arrived!"
"Xia Sheng, long time no see!" Guo Hongjiang was the first to greet Xia Ruofei.
Xia Ruofei helped him cure the Star of Asia, and he has always been very grateful in his heart, although he also gave Xia Ruofei a set of Repulse Bay Flats, but in his opinion, how can a mere house be compared with his beloved horse?
Not to mention that the value of an Asian star is far more than the house given by Guo Hongjiang, just emotionally, he has poured so much effort into the Asian star, at that time, when the injury of a broken leg could only be euthanized, Xia Ruofei simply rescued the Asian star, and the feeling of being in a desperate situation was like a roller coaster.
And what surprised Guo Hongjiang even more was that after the Asian Star returned from injury, not only did it not affect its speed, but even the results were much better than before, and even the Asian Star jockey shouted incredible.
Because the Asian star has passed the rapid growth period and has basically been finalized, maybe the tacit understanding between the jockey and the horse will be better, and the results can be improved slightly, but after experiencing a broken leg injury, they can still improve their performance a lot, which is completely beyond their cognition.
Therefore, Guo Hongjiang not only has great gratitude to Xia Ruofei, but also has an inexplicable awe in it.
Xia Ruofei smiled and asked, "Dong Guo, is the Asian star okay?"
Guo Hongjiang was full of excitement when he talked about the Asian Star, and said: "Thanks to you, the Asian Star is now doing very well, and it is already a big star in the Hong Kong Island horse racing circle!"
Because Guo Hongjiang promised Xia Ruofei to keep the matter of treating Asian Star secret for him, he also deliberately said something vague.
Zheng Jiannian on the side also asked curiously: "Xia Sheng also likes horse racing?"
Xia Ruofei said with a smile: "Haha! Zheng Dong, I don't know how to race horses! The first time I went to the racecourse in my life, it was Guo Dong and Mr. Ma who took me there! But horse racing is really exciting!"
Guo Hongjiang said on the side: "Xia Sheng, Zheng Dong is also a member of the Jockey Club, and he has a deep study of horse racing!"
"Yes, I have a chance to ask Zheng Dong for more advice!" Xia Ruofei smiled.
After greeting them for a few words, Xia Ruofei turned to Ma Zhiming and his wife, and said to Huanhuan with a smile: "Huanhuan!
When Xia Ruofei entered the door just now, Huanhuan wanted to run over, but Tian Huixin whispered to her that Uncle Xia was talking to her grandfathers about business and couldn't go over to disturb her, so she kept putting up with it.
Now hearing Xia Ruofei call herself, Huanhuan immediately ran over happily and threw herself directly into Xia Ruofei's arms, very intimate.
Xia Ruofei also likes Xiao Huanhuan very much, and easily picked her up with one hand.
Then he handed the paper bag in his hand to Feng Jing and said, "Mr. Feng, there are two bottles of wine in it, which I gave to Ma Dong, you can help me take them out!"
"Okay!" Feng Jing heard this, and immediately took out the two bottles of noble rot wine from the paper bag.
Ma Xiong and the others glanced at it with some curiosity, Ma Xiong knew that what Xia Ruofei took out must be good things, and couldn't help but ask, "Xia Sheng, this wine?"
"I have a winery in Australia, this is a specially made noble rot sweet wine, the alcohol content is not very high, but the sweetness is good, and the taste is also very special, bring it to you to taste!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile.
"Then what are you waiting for? Today, the old friends are here, let's open it directly!" Ma Xiong said happily, "The wine brought by Xia Sheng will definitely not be bad! Today you guys have a good mouth!"
Guo Hongjiang and others also smiled and agreed, saying that they were looking forward to these two bottles of wine.
In fact, in addition to Ma Xiong and Guo Hongjiang, Zheng Jiannian and others are more out of politeness, wealth to their net worth, basically as long as money can buy things, in their eyes is not rare at all, what kind of good wine have they not drunk? Two bottles of wine that look new in packaging, they don't have too many expectations.
When Ma Zhiming heard this, he immediately motioned to the waiter in the box to open the two bottles of wine.
Xia Ruofei glanced at it and found that Guo Hongjiang and Zheng Jiannian were bringing their wives to the banquet, and he had prepared six jade skin creams today, counting Tian Huixin and Feng Jing and Dong Yun on his side, plus Liu Qian, there were just six ladies.
So he smiled and said: "Mr. Feng, there are still six jade skin creams in the bag, and I'm worried that I haven't brought enough! I didn't expect that there were just six ladies present, and everyone had a share! You help me distribute it to everyone!"
"Jade Skin Ointment!" Guo Hongjiang's wife immediately exclaimed in surprise.
Tian Huixin has used jade skin cream relatively early, and she has been buying and using it since the mass production version was launched, so she can see at a glance that this is a high-end jade bone ice muscle series, and she is even more happy.
The most unexpected thing was Liu Qian, she couldn't believe her ears, and asked with wide eyes: "Chairman, I'm ...... Do I have that too?"
Xia Ruofei said with some amusement: "Aren't you a lady?" Liu Qian, you are hiding deep enough!"
Feng Jing was taking out the jade skin cream, and she couldn't help but burst out laughing when she heard the words.
Liu Qian's face flushed even more and said, "Chairman...... I...... I mean...... I don't want it!
"You've been working hard these days, it's a reward from the boss!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile.
Feng Jing also finished distributing it to everyone, and in the end, there were two bottles of jade skin cream left, she first put one bottle into her bag, and then stuffed the last bottle into Liu Qian's hand, and said with a smile: "The chairman gave it to you, you can take it!"
"That'...... Okay then!" Liu Qian happily took the jade skin cream, "Thank you, chairman!"
At this time, Huanhuan, who was hugged by Xia Ruofei, pouted and said, "Uncle Xia, Huanhuan is also a girl! Why is there no gift? I want that too...... Jade Skin Balm!"
Everyone couldn't help but laugh when they heard this, Xia Ruofei gently pinched Huanhuan's broken little face, and said, "Huanhuan is still young, and I can't use cosmetics for the time being......"
Speaking of this, Xia Ruofei changed his words and said, "But Uncle Xia has prepared another gift for you!"
"Really, I have a gift too?" asked Huanhuan, her eyes widening with delight.
"Of course, how could Uncle Xia forget Huanhuan when he bought gifts?" Xia Ruofei said.
Then he motioned for Feng Jing to take out the last HelloKitty doll left in the paper bag.
"HelloKitty!" Huanhuan exclaimed in surprise when she saw it.
Feng Jing stuffed the doll into Huanhuan's hand and asked with a smile, "Huanhuan, do you like this gift?"
"Yes, I like HelloKitty the most!" Huanhuan replied without hesitation.
"Then do you want to thank Auntie?" Feng Jing asked jokingly.
Huan Huan thought for a while and said, "This is a gift from Uncle Xia, I want to thank Uncle Xia!"
After speaking, Huanhuan's soft lips kissed Xia Ruofei's cheek.
Everyone was even more happy to see this.
Feng Jing smiled and said, "This is what Uncle Xia bought, but it was given to you by Auntie just now, don't you need to thank Auntie?"
Huan Huan tilted his head and thought for a while, and said, "Well, thank you, Auntie!"
"That's good!" Feng Jing said, then turned her face sideways, pointed to her cheek and asked, "Then do you want to kiss your aunt too?"
Huan Huan suddenly showed a hesitant look, and only after a while did he reluctantly say, "Okay then......"
Then she leaned over and kissed Feng Jing on the cheek, but she looked very reluctant.
Feng Jing looked at Xia Ruofei, who was laughing non-stop, and couldn't help but complain in her heart: This guy's womanhood is really terrible, even such a young girl is fascinated by him......
Ma Zhiming and Tian Huixin also walked over.
Ma Zhiming said: "Xia Sheng, how embarrassing is it to let you break the bank every time?"
Xia Ruofei smiled and said: "Buy some gifts for the child, and it won't cost a few dollars, Mr. Ma is too polite!"
At this time, a neutral voice sounded at the door of the box: "Everyone, I'm sorry! There is a little traffic jam on the road, and I am a little late!"
Xia Ruofei turned around and suddenly showed a hint of surprise.
The crane-haired and energetic man standing at the door is none other than Xu Lang, a famous feng shui master on Hong Kong Island.
"Uncle Xu!" Xia Ruofei greeted happily.
Ma Xiong and the others also greeted him, and Ma Xiong, as the owner, also said with a smile: "It is an honor for Uncle Xu to be able to appreciate the light! We have just arrived, this is not ...... I haven't sat down yet!"
Xia Ruofei found an interesting thing, that is, Ma Xiong, Guo Hongjiang and others who were old also called Xu Lang "Uncle Xu", which seemed to be a symbol of Xu Lang, or a symbol of the feng shui world of Hong Kong Island, which has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Xu Lang smiled and said: "I heard that Xia Sheng came to Hong Kong, of course I want to come and drink a glass of wine! Ma Dong, I haven't seen you for many days, your complexion is much better, it seems that there are nobles to help!"
Ma Xiong was overjoyed and said, "To borrow your auspicious words! In fact, Mr. Xia is the biggest nobleman in our Ma family!"
Although Xu Lang's words are not iron-clad, they are not much worse, so his words are completely different from the auspicious words casually said by ordinary people, and Ma Xiong is naturally very happy to hear it.
When Xu Lang heard this, he nodded deeply and said: "Xia Sheng is the dragon and phoenix among people! Ma Dong can get Xia Sheng's help, whether it is career or health, it will be of great benefit!"
Everyone next to him, except for Guo Hongjiang, showed a hint of discoloration on their faces.
There is no other reason, that is, Xu Lang's evaluation is too high.
The dragon and phoenix among people, even Li Shoufu, who has a close personal relationship with Xu Lang, has never been so highly praised by him.
Could it be that this young man in front of him will have higher achievements in the future than the richest man Li? Zheng Jiannian and the others could not help but have a trace of absurdity in their hearts.
But the person who said this was Xu Lang, the famous Uncle Xu, and they couldn't help but believe it.
If they were respectful to Xia Ruofei before, it was because of Ma Xiong, or part of the reason was that Xia Ruofei's Taoyuan Company was able to provide a very high-quality abalone and truffle, but now it is a little different, because of Xu Lang's evaluation, Zheng Jiannian and others have undoubtedly deepened their attention to Xia Ruofei.
Ma Xiong laughed and said, "Uncle Xu, Xia Sheng, everyone is here, let's take a seat!"
"Okay! Xia Sheng, please!" said Xu Bo briskly.
"Uncle Xu, please first!" Xia Ruofei gave in.
Everyone walked together to the big round table.
When sitting in the seat, Ma Xiong insisted on letting Xia Ruofei sit in the main seat at first, of course Xia Ruofei resolutely disagreed-not to mention the gap in wealth, he was a young man, except for the people from Taoyuan Company, who was not an old-timer who was much older than him? Not to mention that he was here as a guest today, what was it like to sit in the main seat?
After some pushing, Ma Xiong reluctantly sat on the main seat.
Xia Ruofei, as the guest of honor tonight, sat on Ma Xiong's right hand, Xu Bo was not allowed to sit on Ma Xiong's left hand side, and then the people on Hong Kong Island and Taoyuan Company sat in the air, which not only avoided the trouble of giving in to each other, but also helped everyone to communicate better.
Once the guests were seated, the waiter began to pour drinks for everyone.
The first thing to taste was naturally the two bottles of noble rot wine brought by Xia Ruofei, although there were many people present, but when the two bottles of wine were opened, everyone could still get several glasses.
Ma Xiong put the wine glass in front of his nose and sniffed it, took a sip gently, and then said with a look of surprise: "The aroma of the wine is very special......! Notes of apple and citrus with a hint of minerality! The palate is quite layered! I have tasted Tokaj's Eszencia and I feel that Xiasheng's bottle of noble rot is of higher quality than Tokaj's top essence!"
Regarding Tokaj's Eszencia, that is, the essence wine, Xia Ruofei also heard the old West introduce it to him, which is also a kind of noble rot wine, but it is the best of noble rot wine, well-known all over the world.
This wine is made from the fruit juice that flows naturally from the noble rot raisins due to gravity during storage, and has a very high sugar content - generally 500-900g/L, much higher than honey, and an alcohol content of about 1-3%, which can be stored almost permanently without spoiling.
Because of the brewing process, the production is outrageously low, resulting in a price that ordinary people simply cannot afford.
Ma Xiong's evaluation is not high.
In addition to a few people from Taoyuan Company, all of them were people who knew the goods, and everyone couldn't help but taste a small bite one after another.
The two bottles of noble rot wine brought by Xia Ruofei ushered in a wave of praise.
Xia Ruofei himself also had a trace of anticipation, after all, since the last time he tasted it, the time of the noble rot wine in the Lingtu Space Yuan Primal Realm accelerated to Xia, and it matured for a long time, and the taste must have become richer.
So he also picked up his glass and took a sip gently.
At this moment, Ma Xiong said with a smile: "Today is really a coincidence, the first main course I prepared for you is French foie gras, which is cooked from the foie gras of the top Landes goose flown from Austria, and the top noble rot wine with the top French foie gras is a match made in heaven!"
When Xia Ruofei heard this, a mouthful of wine in his mouth almost squirted out.
Tenderness in the steel gun said
