Chapter 2189
The Opportunity to Integrate into the Elite Circle
He Yuzhu is quite wronged; how can this be blamed on him?
But there's nothing we can do. Right now, the He family is dominated by women, and neither he nor the fourth son can afford to offend anyone.
"What are you still standing there for?"
"Get down there and help Yuanyuan up right now!" Liu Ting scolded again, her tone impatient.
He Yuzhu and Xiao Laosi quickly went down the steps and helped He Yuan up steadily, one on each side.
"Have you eaten yet? If I had known you were coming, I would have asked your dad to make some chicken soup..." Liu Ting pulled He Yuan's chubby little hand and led her inside.
"No, I've been feeling a bit nauseous lately and can't eat." He Yuan suppressed a burp that was about to escape, leaned her head on her mother's shoulder, and made up a lie without hesitation.
The father and son were left standing in the wind, bewildered and disoriented.
"My sister lied. I smelled the aroma of You Yishun's sesame seed cake with braised beef on her," the fourth brother muttered disdainfully.
“Go tell your mother to expose Yuanyuan’s lies,” He Yuzhu muttered under his breath.
He's a cook, how come he can't smell anything on He Yuan?
The sesame flatbread and braised beef at the Hui Muslim restaurant was something he had taken He Yuan to try before.
I'm sure Liu Ting isn't that obtuse; it's just that her parents are willing to indulge He Yuan's little lie.
"What are you two doing standing at the door? Are you trying to starve?"
If you want to drink, close the door first, so that all the warmth in the room doesn't escape.
···
"They all disregard others..." Liu Ting reprimanded the father and son mercilessly.
Father and son shook their heads in the same way, sighed inwardly, and walked into the house.
Liu Ting has been in a bad mood lately.
There was no other reason; He An had originally said he would come back for the New Year.
Then another telegram came in, saying that he had gone on a trip to Malaysia with friends.
I'm not coming back this year.
This caused Liu Ting to direct all her hatred at He Yuzhu.
This is the difference between the two daughters.
He Yuan was eager to go home, but the situation at home was not good at the time, and frequent travel could easily cause trouble for He Yuzhu.
So He Yuan endured for several years, waiting until the storm had completely passed before daring to return.
However, social attitudes have become much more open now, and there are no longer any obstacles for He An to go home.
But the little girl prefers to play; she'd rather spend time with her friends than go home to celebrate the New Year with her elderly parents.
The same goes for their studies; He Yuan did very well in her studies when she went to Hong Kong Island.
Not to mention that she became a cartoonist at a very young age.
After He Yuan graduated from university, many prestigious universities extended offers to her, inviting her to study abroad.
He An, on the other hand, has always been average.
She seemed to have no particular purpose; she was simply enjoying life.
They have no ideals at all.
However, in a letter to He Yuzhu, He Xinghua also used a little more space to describe He An's current life.
According to He Xinghua, his younger sister just loves to play.
Everything else is fine; he is quite self-disciplined and hasn't followed others astray.
He Xinghua will definitely have to write a letter to his father to explain, after all, it was he who led He An into the social circle.
Even most of He An's extravagant expenses were covered by his older brother.
For a young billionaire, supporting a girl shouldn't be a problem.
Therefore, He Xinghua must take responsibility for He An.
If He An really goes astray, he might end up experiencing the same things Lou Xiao'e always says to scare him.
If you keep being naughty, when your dad comes back, I'll definitely have him beat you up!
He Xinghua also grew up hearing these threats.
Sometimes, He Xinghua would feel envious. He had never been beaten as a child, and he always felt that his childhood was not complete.
This trip to Malaysia was a fun trip for He An, but a business trip for He Xinghua.
He's still busy with the Asian Games application. This trip to Malaysia around the Lunar New Year was an opportunity for young people to visit each other and meet with some wealthy and prominent Chinese figures there.
Whether these people are involved in sports or not, they can always have a say in this kind of thing.
Lobbying, huh!
Our first Asian Games application was submitted in 1983 and approved in 1984.
But for such a big matter, there must have been communication before the application was submitted, and it wasn't just He Xinghua's group that did it.
Lou Xiao'e didn't assign him any tasks.
In other words, let him do his best, as long as his efforts are known to the people of the country.
Then all the effort will be worthwhile.
In fact, He Xinghua did just that; he knew what his strengths and weaknesses were.
He's too young to be seriously discussing such important matters with those important figures.
People will think he's unreliable.
His advantage lies in his youth and wealth.
No matter how important a person is, they all want their children to get to know such young talents better.
Putting aside everything else, the fact that He Xinghua made several times his initial investment in silver is no secret in wealthy circles.
Even if he doesn't actively spread it.
The Ho family from Macau, who also profited from the deal, would also try to make him famous.
This kind of fame is quite beneficial to He Xinghua's foothold in the business world.
Just like this time, the Zhu family in Malaysia invited the siblings to visit Malaysia through Carol Chu's words.
It must have been approved by the elders in the family.
Or perhaps, the thirteen-year-old girl never had this idea in the first place.
It was suggested by the elders in the family.
It's that simple.
In fact, Lou Xiao'e was somewhat pleased with the outcome.
She really liked that little girl, Xiaoqian.
The Zhu family is considered a second-tier family in Malaysia, but Xiaoqian's uncle's family is one of the top wealthy families in Malaysia.
Lou Xiao'e would be quite satisfied if He Xinghua and the young girl hit it off.
After investigating all the women around He Xinghua, she still felt that this young girl was the most suitable for her son.
In fact, the person He Xinghua truly considered a friend was Xiaoqian's second sister.
The little girl came to Hong Kong Island with her older sister to freeload.
Lou Xiao'e also had designs on the second son.
But there's nothing we can do; Malaysian Chinese families are quite traditional, and the second child, who's sixteen, is already engaged.
Therefore, Lou Xiao'e's gaze could only be fixed on the still young Xiaoqian.
This also reflects Lou Xiao'e's lack of cultural depth.
In general, wealthy families in Southeast Asia have maintained close relationships for generations, helping each other in business.
The children in the family, even at a young age, play together.
Therefore, it is not uncommon for young women to be engaged in a lifelong marriage at the age of fifteen or sixteen.
Lou Xiao'e only gained public recognition after her successful oil speculation during the last Hong Kong crisis.
It's speculation, not investment.
So it was only in the last two years that she integrated into the Hong Kong elite and was accepted by the entire Southeast Asian Chinese wealthy community.
This also resulted in her children not being familiar with those children from wealthy families.
To truly integrate, a suitable opportunity is needed. (End of Chapter)
