Chapter 2175
The Thoughts of Young Boys and Girls
In later generations, when Chinese people talk about the circle of wealthy Chinese, they often focus on the Singaporean side.
But in reality, it's Malaysia that's home to the wealthiest people, and it's also the most low-key.
The key point is that later generations have proven that the wealthy and powerful people in Singapore are all yellow-skinned but white-hearted, and very few of them actually acknowledge their ancestors.
Meanwhile, the people in Malaysia, ever since the overthrow of the Qing dynasty, have always been drawn to the mainland and have unconditionally wanted to support their motherland.
This is also why Lou Xiao'e had a higher opinion of the three Zhu girls.
But there's no use in her being anxious about this.
The choice is in He Xinghua's hands.
Of course, what Lou Xiao'e didn't know was that young people have their own social circles.
Just like after that cocktail party, He Xinghua also held a private gathering.
I specially invited a group of young people to have some fun together.
He Xinghua also specially brought his sister He An along.
In fact, He Xinghua held that gathering for He An.
He An has always longed for the glamour of the entertainment industry, and He Xinghua, as the older brother, naturally knows what the real entertainment industry is like.
So, they specially invited several popular celebrities to perform at the party.
He An was surrounded by admirers, while those big stars who were once beyond her reach were now fawning over her, smiling obsequiously and performing however she was told.
It's like performing with monkeys.
This also dashed He An's dream of becoming a star.
Dreams shattered.
However, He An did not come away empty-handed.
At least she made a few good friends at the party.
Xiaoqian, who also aspires to be a big star, and Xiaoqiong, who is very familiar with the Hong Kong entertainment industry, have both become involved with her.
After making money in Baiyin, He Xinghua bought himself a vacation villa.
It's not big, but it's quiet enough.
Although Lou Xiao'e knew about this, she pretended not to know.
The child is growing up, so we need to give him some private space.
As long as there are no safety issues, Lou Xiao'e doesn't plan to interfere.
A luxurious seaside mansion, under a sky full of stars and moon.
Three young girls lay side by side on the Simmons mattress in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.
The girl named Xiaoqiong was seventeen years old and the oldest of the three.
The reason she was willing to take He An out was, frankly, because of He Xinghua.
Although her father earned a lot of money, his involvement in gambling was, after all, dishonest.
Furthermore, the future is uncertain. Who knows whether the gambling industry will still exist after Macau returns to China?
Lou Xiao'e is now clearly the most dazzling person in Hong Kong.
To be honest, the young Qiong now doesn't have the ambitions of those who came after her.
However, she still admired Lou Xiao'e, who single-handedly managed a business empire.
This kind of worship was even greater than her interest in He Xinghua.
She spoke first, saying, "An'an, if you're interested, I can organize a party next time and have... everyone come and sing for us."
Let that person sing "Tears for You," it's quite nice.
Those people are actually quite nice in private.
Xiao Qiong rattled off several names of emerging singers and stars.
He An was the most beautiful of the three, but also the most ignorant.
After all, it's Hong Kong's high society; if it weren't for her brother bringing her here, she wouldn't have been able to enjoy it.
She simply couldn't imagine the luxury inside.
But how do you put it?
Before seeing it, I thought it was a dream garden.
After seeing it for myself, I realized that those people were just like that.
On the contrary, they live a more repressed life than ordinary people.
"Sister Xiaoqiong, how do you know so many people?" He An was slightly tempted, but didn't agree immediately. Xiaoqiong's intentions were too obvious.
Although she wasn't as close to He Xinghua as she was to He Ping, she knew that He Xinghua was like a brother to her, and that he was genuinely good to her.
Therefore, she can enjoy herself, but she cannot cause trouble for He Xinghua.
"It's not that I want to get to know them, but that they want to get to know me."
"In families like ours, there's always a large group of talented young people we'd like to befriend," Xiao Qiong said proudly.
With a face that's about 70 or 80 out of 10, her arrogance makes her look a bit like a princess.
"However, my elders at home have always forbidden me from getting too close to people in that circle."
"They say actors are nothing..." Xiaoqian, with her chubby baby face, lay there flat, looking helpless.
"You're still young!" Two older girls beside her each grabbed one of Xiaoqian's cheeks and mocked her.
"I don't care."
I'm going to study in America soon.
If you don't have fun while you're young, you'll inevitably have to find a suitable family to marry when you get older.
They don't even have the right to choose.
Girls from families like ours are sometimes quite pathetic when you think about it.
You can't compete for anything; you have to live by the whims of others from childhood to adulthood.
"If you're too soft-hearted, you'll get bullied." Xiaoqiong's understanding of the cruelty of large families was deeper than the other two.
The two girls beside her were looking at her with surprise.
Xiaoqian comes from a harmonious family and has never witnessed the power struggles within a household.
As for He An, that's even less likely.
Back in Beijing, apart from one and a half people in her family, she was fearless.
One is Liu Ting, and the other half is He Yuan.
As for He Yuzhu and He Ping, as long as she acts cute, her father and brother will grant her most requests.
As for the fourth son, in the He family, he was at the very bottom of the food chain, and anyone could bully him.
"You can't have free love?" He An asked in surprise.
"I don't know, I'm still young," Xiaoqian said, her face flushed.
"Free love is a luxury for children from families like ours."
"It's practically impossible." Xiao Qiong's expression darkened slightly.
Today, she took the initiative to invite He An and Xiao Qian to hang out together.
She knew very well that if He An came, then He Xinghua would definitely show up.
But if she came alone, her purpose would be too obvious.
So she brought along a little girl to avoid an awkward atmosphere and to prevent her from facing any competition.
He Xinghua did indeed appear and warmly welcomed them.
They also prepared a sumptuous lunch for them.
But in the afternoon, He Xinghua used official business as an excuse to leave directly.
This dashed Xiaoqiong's hopes.
As I said before, this girl in later generations, who controlled a conglomerate worth hundreds of billions, exuded an aura of dominance.
But now, she and her family are not considered top celebrities in Hong Kong.
And there are subtle signs that it is being rejected by the mainstream circles.
Therefore, she can only look up to He Xinghua now.
It was obvious that He Xinghua was very polite to her, but there was no romantic relationship between them.
Of course, from He Xinghua's perspective, he is just too busy right now.
Lou Xiao'e wanted him to take over the business, and He Yuzhu also hoped that he could support the He family's business empire.
The young boy's mind is now completely focused on those business ventures.
There's simply no time for romance.
He was more self-aware in these matters than other boys and girls his age. (End of Chapter)
