The rich people who were chatting all looked over and then followed Ma Xiong out to greet him. Xia Ruofei also took two steps forward and said, "I'm really sorry for making all the seniors wait for me!"
Ma Xiong laughed heartily and said, "We just arrived!"
"Xia Ruofei, long time no see!" Guo Hongjiang was the first to greet Xia Ruofei.
Xia Ruofei had helped him cure the Star of Asia, and he had always been very grateful to him. Although he also gave Xia Ruofei a large flat in Repulse Bay, in his opinion, how could a house be compared with his beloved horse?
Not to mention that the value of the Star of Asia was far greater than the house Guo Hongjiang gave him. In terms of feelings, he had devoted so much effort to the Star of Asia. At that time, when the horse's leg was broken and could only be euthanized, Xia Ruofei had saved it. The feeling of coming back from the jaws of death was like a rollercoaster ride.
And what surprised Guo Hongjiang even more was that after the Star of Asia recovered from its injury, not only did it not affect its speed, but its performance was even much better than before. Even the jockey of the Star of Asia exclaimed that it was incredible.
That was because the Star of Asia had already passed its rapid growth period and was basically set in stone. Perhaps the tacit understanding between the jockey and the horse would be better, and the results would be slightly improved. However, the fact that the horse could improve so much after suffering from a broken leg was completely beyond their understanding.
Therefore, Guo Hongjiang was not only grateful to Xia Ruofei, but also had an inexplicable awe in it.
Xia Ruofei asked with a smile, "Chairman Guo, how is the Star of Asia?"
Guo Hongjiang was excited when he talked about the Star of Asia. He said, "Thanks to you, the Star of Asia is doing very well now. It is already a big star in the horse racing circle in Hong Kong!"
Because Guo Hongjiang had promised Xia Ruofei to keep the matter of his treatment of the Star of Asia a secret, he deliberately made it a little vague.
Zheng Jianian also asked curiously, "Does Xia Sheng also like horse racing?"
Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "Haha! Director Zheng, I don't know anything about horse racing! It was the first time I went to a horse race track in my life, and it was Director Guo and Mr. Ma who brought me there! But horse racing is indeed very exciting! "
Guo Hongjiang said, "Xiasheng, Director Zheng is also a member of the Jockey Club. He has a deep understanding of horse racing!"
"Really? If there's a chance, I'll have to consult Director Zheng! "Xia Ruofei said with a smile.
After exchanging a few pleasantries with them, Xia Ruofei turned to Ma Zhiming and his wife. He smiled at Huanhuan and said, "Huanhuan! Come to Uncle Xia! "
When Xia Ruofei had entered the house, Huanhuan had wanted to run over. However, Tian Huixin had whispered to her that Uncle Xia was having a serious discussion with the grandfathers and could not disturb him. Therefore, she had been holding back.
Now that she heard Xia Ruofei calling her, Huanhuan immediately ran over happily and threw herself into Xia Ruofei's arms intimately.
Xia Ruofei also liked little Huanhuan very much. He easily carried her with one hand.
Then, he handed the paper bag in his hand to Feng Jing and said, "Manager Feng, there are two bottles of wine inside. They are for Director Ma. Can you help me take them out?"
"Okay!" Feng Jing immediately took out the two bottles of wine from the paper bag.
Ma Xiong and the others looked at them curiously. Ma Xiong knew that Xia Ruofei must have taken out something good. He could not help but ask, "Xiasheng, this wine?"
"I have a winery in Australia. This is a specially brewed wine. The alcohol content is not very high, but the sweetness is not bad. The taste is also very special. I brought it for you to try!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile.
"Then what are we waiting for? Today, our old friends are all here. Let's open it! "Ma Xiong said happily." The wine that Xiasheng brought will definitely not be bad! Today, you guys are in for a treat! "
Guo Hongjiang and the others also smiled and agreed. They were looking forward to tasting the two bottles of wine.
Actually, other than Ma Xiong and Guo Hongjiang, Zheng Jianian and the rest were just being polite. With their wealth, as long as it was something that could be bought with money, they would not care about it at all. What kind of wine had they not tasted before? The two bottles of wine looked very new. They did not expect much from them.
Ma Zhiming heard and immediately signaled the waiter in the private room to open the two bottles of wine.
Xia Ruofei looked around and realized that only Guo Hongjiang and Zheng Jianian brought their wives to the banquet. He had prepared six servings of Yuji ointment. Including Tian Huixin, Feng Jing, Dong Yun, and Liu Qian, there were six ladies.
So, he smiled and said, "Manager Feng, there are still six servings of Yuji ointment in the bag. I was worried that I did not bring enough! I did not expect that there would be six ladies here. Everyone can have a share! Help me distribute it to everyone! "
"Yuji ointment!" Guo Hongjiang's wife immediately exclaimed in surprise.
Tian Huixin had used the Yuji ointment a long time ago. After the mass-produced version was released, she had been buying and using it. So, she could tell that this was a high-end Yuji ointment. She was very happy.
The most surprised was Liu Qian. She could not believe her ears. She opened her eyes wide and asked, "Chairman, I … I also have one?"
Xia Ruofei found it funny and said, "Are you not a lady? Liu Qian, you hid it really well! "
Feng Jing was taking out the Yuji ointment. She could not help but laugh when she heard what Feng Yu said.
Liu Qian blushed and said, "Chairman … I … I mean … I don't want it! This is too expensive! "
"You have worked hard these few days. Consider it a reward from the boss!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile.
Feng Jing had also finished distributing the ointment to everyone. There were only two bottles of Yuji ointment left. She put one bottle into her bag first, then stuffed the last bottle into Liu Qian's hands. She smiled and said, "The chairman gave it to you. You should accept it!"
"Then … Okay!" Liu Qian happily took the Yuji ointment. "Thank you, Chairman!"
At this time, Huanhuan, who was being hugged by Xia Ruofei, pouted and said, "Uncle Xia, Huanhuan is also a girl! Why don't we have a gift? I also want that … Yuji ointment! "
Everyone could not help but smile. Xia Ruofei gently pinched Huanhuan's delicate little face and said, "Huanhuan is still young. She does not need to use cosmetics for the time being …"
Then, Xia Ruofei changed the topic and said, "But Uncle Xia has prepared another gift for you!"
"Really? I have a gift too? "Huanhuan immediately opened her eyes wide and asked with joy.
"Of course! How could Uncle Xia forget Huanhuan when he bought a gift? "Xia Ruofei said.
Then, he gestured to Feng Jing to take out the Hello Kitty doll that was left in the paper bag.
"Hello Kitty!" Huanhuan cried out in surprise when she saw it.
Feng Jing stuffed the doll into Huanhuan's hands and asked with a smile, "Huanhuan, do you like this gift?"
"I like it! I like Hello Kitty the most! "Huanhuan answered without hesitation.
"Then, do you want to thank Auntie?" Feng Jing asked jokingly.
Huanhuan thought for a moment and said, "This is a gift from Uncle Xia. I want to thank Uncle Xia!"
After that, Huanhuan's soft lips kissed Xia Ruofei's cheek.
Everyone was overjoyed when they saw this.
Feng Jing said with a smile, "Uncle Xia bought this, but Auntie gave it to you just now. Don't you want to thank Auntie?"
Huanhuan tilted her head and thought for a moment. Then, she said, "Yes! Thank you, Auntie! "
"Good girl!" Feng Jing said. Then, she turned her face and pointed to her cheek. She asked, "Do you want to kiss Auntie too?"
Huanhuan suddenly showed a hesitant look. After a while, she said reluctantly, "Okay then..."
She then leaned over and planted a kiss on Feng Jing's cheek. However, it was a forced kiss.
Feng Jing looked at Xia Ruofei, who was laughing non-stop, and couldn't help but complain in her heart, This guy's luck with women is really scary. Even such a young girl is fascinated by him...
Ma Zhiming and Tian Huixin also came over.
Ma Zhiming said, "Xia Sheng, how can I let you spend money every time?"
Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "It doesn't cost much to buy a gift for the child. Mr. Ma, you're too polite!"
At this time, a voice full of energy sounded at the door of the private room. "Everyone, I'm sorry! There was a traffic jam on the road, so I'm a little late! "
Xia Ruofei turned around and suddenly showed a trace of surprise.
The man standing at the door with white hair and a youthful face was in high spirits. He was the famous Feng Shui master in Hong Kong, Xu Lang.
"Uncle Xu!" Xia Ruofei greeted happily.
Ma Xiong and the others also came to greet him. As the host, Ma Xiong also said with a smile, "It's my honor to have Uncle Xu here! We just arrived, and... we haven't sat down yet! "
Xia Ruofei found something interesting. Ma Xiong, Guo Hongjiang, and the others, who were old, also called Xu Lang "Uncle Xu." This name was like a symbol of Xu Lang, or a symbol of the Feng Shui circle in Hong Kong. It had long been ingrained in people's hearts.
Xu Lang said with a smile, "I heard that Xia Sheng was coming to Hong Kong. Of course, I had to come and have a drink! Chairman Ma, I haven't seen you for a long time. Your complexion is much better. It seems that you have a benefactor helping you! "
Ma Xiong was happy and said, "Thank you for your auspicious words! In fact, Mr. Xia is the biggest benefactor of our Ma family! "
Although Xu Lang's words were not very accurate, they were not far from it. Therefore, his words were completely different from the casual auspicious words of ordinary people. Ma Xiong was naturally very happy to hear it.
When Xu Lang heard this, he nodded in agreement and said, "Xia Sheng is a dragon among men! Chairman Ma, if you can get Xia Sheng's help, it will be a great benefit for your career and health! "
Everyone, except Guo Hongjiang, had a strange look on their faces.
There was no other reason than that Xu Lang's evaluation was too high.
Even Li Mogul, who had a close personal relationship with Xu Lang, had not received such a high evaluation from him.
Could it be that this young man in front of them would have greater achievements in the future than Li Mogul? Zheng Jianian and the others could not help but feel a trace of absurdity in their hearts.
However, the person who said this was Xu Lang, the famous Uncle Xu. They had no choice but to believe it.
If they had been respectful to Xia Ruofei before, it was because of Ma Xiong, or part of the reason was that Xia Ruofei's Taoyuan Company could provide high-quality abalone and truffles. However, it was a little different now. Because of Xu Lang's evaluation, Zheng Jianian and the others undoubtedly attached more importance to Xia Ruofei.
Ma Xiong laughed and said, "Uncle Xu, Xia Sheng, everyone is here. Let's take a seat!"
"Okay! Xia Sheng, please! "Uncle Xu said straightforwardly.
"Uncle Xu, please go first!" Xia Ruofei took a step out of courtesy.
Everyone walked to the big round table together.
When they were sitting down, Ma Xiong initially insisted that Xia Ruofei sit in the main seat. Of course, Xia Ruofei firmly disagreed. Not to mention the difference in wealth, he was a young man. Except for the people on the Taoyuan Company's side, who wasn't a senior who was much older than him? Moreover, he was here as a guest today. How could he sit in the main seat?
After some pushing, Ma Xiong had no choice but to sit in the main seat.
Then, everyone sat down regardless of seniority. As the guest of honor tonight, Xia Ruofei sat on the right side of Ma Xiong. Uncle Xu sat on the left side of Ma Xiong. Then, the people from Hong Kong and the Taoyuan Company sat in the empty seats. This not only avoided the trouble of giving in to each other, but also helped everyone communicate better.
When the guests were seated, the waiter began to pour wine for everyone.
The first to taste was naturally the two bottles of noble rotten wine brought by Xia Ruofei. Although there were many people present, when the two bottles were opened, everyone could still get a few glasses.
Ma Xiong put the glass to his nose and sniffed it. He gently took a sip and then said with surprise, "The wine's fragrance is very special! The taste... It has the smell of apples and oranges, and a trace of mineral! The taste is very rich! I have tasted the Eszencia from Tokayi. I feel that Xia Sheng's bottle of noble rotten wine is of higher quality than Tokayi's top essence wine! "
Xia Ruofei had heard Old West introduce Tokayi's Eszencia, which was the essence wine, to him. It was also a type of noble wine, but it was the best of the noble wines and was famous all over the world.
This kind of wine was brewed from the juice that flowed out naturally during the storage process of the noble rotten raisins due to gravity. The sugar content was very high — generally 500-900 g/L, much higher than honey. The alcohol content was about 1-3%, and it could be stored almost forever without going bad.
Due to the brewing process, the production was shockingly low, resulting in a price that ordinary people couldn't afford.
Ma Xiong's evaluation could be said to be very high.
Apart from a few people from the Taoyuan Company, everyone present was knowledgeable. Everyone couldn't help but take a small sip.
The two bottles of noble rotten wine brought by Xia Ruofei were met with praise.
Xia Ruofei also felt a sense of anticipation. After all, the noble rotten wine had been in the Ring-Tu space's Archean realm for a long time since he last tasted it. It had matured a long time ago, so the taste would definitely be richer.
Therefore, he picked up his glass and took a sip.
At that moment, Ma Xiong chuckled and said, "What a coincidence today. The first main dish I prepared for everyone is French foie gras. It's made from the top-grade Landes goose's liver that was flown over from Austria. Top-grade noble rotten wine paired with top-grade French foie gras is a match made in heaven!"
