As soon as Li He went downstairs, he met the Dutch man in the lobby.
The old man was talking to the waitress. When he saw Li He, he asked happily, "Is it settled?"
Li He asked curiously, "What is it?"
"It's those hooligans. They're blocking the entrance. I only found out about it now, and here they are. "
"Thank you for your concern. I've already dealt with them." Li He glanced at the girl. She was quite a talkative girl.
The old man smiled and said, "This is my daughter. I specially told her to keep an eye on you. I was just scolding her for not coming to inform me. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to beat these brats even if I had used a few hands. These brats are immoral and deserve a beating. "
Li He suddenly realized, "Thank you for the trouble."
"Don't mention it. I just don't want you to embarrass us Dutch people. There aren't many Dutch people in Hong Kong, but no one dares to look down on us. I can still squeeze them to death. I was afraid that you're new to the mainland and don't know the rules here. They can be arrogant, but you can't let them be. I didn't expect you to have some skills to be able to subdue them. "
"I have a few friends here. They'll help me deal with it. " The way the old man spoke was completely different from the way Li He saw him in the afternoon. Li He could not believe it.
"That's right. We Dutch people have to be stubborn. Back then, Yuan Datou was from Holland, but he didn't dare to proclaim himself king in Holland. During the war between the warlords, Holland was the only province in China that didn't have a warlord. Wu Peifu couldn't, Sun Chuanfang couldn't, and even Zhang Zuolin couldn't."
"That makes sense." Li He had no intention of refuting. There were many reasons why Holland did not become the base of the warlords. There was no point in arguing with the old man. No matter who it was, their hometown was always the best. "Is there a jewelry shop nearby? I'll go buy some gifts."
The old man said, "There are many. Let my daughter accompany you. Everyone here knows her. It'll be a good deal for you."
"It won't affect your work, right?" Generally, the management of the hotel was more strict. Li He was afraid that it would affect the young lady's work.
The old man said, "This hotel is owned by my brother-in-law. My daughter takes advantage of the fact that she doesn't attend classes to save some pocket money here. It doesn't matter if she goes to work or not."
Li He did not reject her and followed behind her. They chatted as they walked. He was surprised to hear that this young lady was from the Hong Kong Polytechnic University and was studying applied physics.
Li He casually asked a few questions, but the little girl only answered him roughly and didn't go into details, which made Li He a little disappointed.
The little girl blushed and said, "I'm only a sophomore. We haven't learned what you mentioned yet. Maybe we'll be able to learn it next year."
"It's fine. Just study hard in the future." Li He didn't want to make fun of her. This little girl was too weak. Maybe learning physics was a mistake. Feng Yu knew about Hong Kong's education quality. Even if Hong Kong's economy was better than China's, the quality of undergraduate education could not be compared to China. The whole of Hong Kong was still very commercialized. Maybe science and engineering were not popular.
"How do you know so much?"
"Because I'm studying physics too."
"Really? You really know a lot."
"Just so-so." Li He didn't care about this kind of compliment. It was hard for a kindergartener to praise a high school student.
"This is the shop." The little girl went in first and opened the door.
Li He followed her in and realized that it was just an ordinary jewelry shop.
"Sister Jiang, I brought a friend of mine over. I'll give you a discount." The little girl leaned over the counter, looking very familiar.
The person who was called Sister Jiang smiled and said, "No problem. Sir, take a look at what you want and choose. Since Tang Jiajia brought her over, I'll give you a discount. "
Li He nodded and looked at the name tag on her chest. Jiang Shijin. It was a unique name. He pointed to a necklace on the counter and said, "Let me see this necklace."
Jiang Shijin took out the necklace and placed it in front of Li He. "18k gold inlaid diamond necklace, 0.04 carats."
"I'll take this then. Help me wrap it up." Li He didn't care about the design as long as it was the thought that mattered.
Tang Jiajia said, "Mr. Li, you're giving it to your girlfriend? Isn't this too old-fashioned? "
Li He smiled and said, "It's for an elder. This is it. It's not good if it's too fancy."
"Originally, it's 300300 Hong Kong dollars. I'll make the decision and erase the remainder for you." Jiang Shijin hadn't met such a straightforward customer in a long time. She looked at Li He's empty hands and asked with a smile, "Mr. Li, are you going to pay by card?"
"Okay, I'll pay by card." More than 30,000 Hong Kong dollars. Li He felt a little heartache. He had never bought such an expensive thing for his mother before. However, he owed Old Madam Yu. It wasn't an exaggeration to say that the inkstone that Old Madam Yu gave him could be sold for hundreds of thousands of dollars like a toy. If it was sent to an auction house, the price might be even more outrageous. If he didn't pay her back now, he would feel guilty.
Jiang Shijin happily took Li He's card and skillfully swiped it. After hearing the beep sound, she said, "Mr. Li, just enter the password."
"Okay." Li He awkwardly entered the password twice. This card was indeed his, and all his personal assets were in it. However, this was the first time he used it. It was not the legendary mysterious black card, but just an ordinary bank card.
After signing the receipt, he took the wrapped necklace and was about to leave.
Jiang Shijin said, "Mr. Li, do you want to look at other things?"
"No, thank you." Li He walked out of the jewelry store.
"Sister Jiang, I'll leave first." Tang Jiajia said goodbye to Jiang Shijin and followed behind Li He. Li He's generosity left a deep impression on her.
At the entrance of the hotel, Li He smiled and said, "Thank you."
"Are you going to meet a customer tomorrow? Do you want to use a car? I have a car here. "
"Just hail a taxi tomorrow," Tang Jiajia said.
"Taxis aren't cheap. I'll give you a discount."
"Your car?"
"Yeah, I'll be your driver. Don't worry, I won't charge you anything expensive."
"No problem. Wait for me downstairs at nine tomorrow morning." Li He didn't expect this girl to be such a money-grubber. Why did she study physics instead of business?
"Okay, Mr. Li," Tang Jiajia replied happily.
Back in the room, Li He fell asleep immediately. The room was a little stuffy. He didn't like to turn on the air conditioner, so he opened the window to the maximum to cool himself down.
The next morning, Tang Jiajia parked the car downstairs as promised. She poked her head out of the window. "Mr. Li, here."
"Is your car okay?" “
It was an old van with almost all the paint peeling off. It was even worse than his van.
Tang Jiajia blushed. "Mr. Li, don't worry. My car is very good. There's no problem at all. I'll definitely send you there. "
"Alright, let's go to the middle of the mountain." Li He opened the door and got in.
Tang Jiajia said excitedly, "The people who live there are all rich and powerful. Your friend must be a big shot."
"Let's go." Li He didn't listen to her chatter.
At the entrance of Yu Dehua's villa, an old Ford followed Li He's car into the mansion.
Yu Dehua scolded the young man who got out of the car, "You have no manners at all. Hurry up and greet us. "
The young man said unwillingly to Li He, "Uncle Li."
Li He said, "Your son is already so tall?"
"He's always running around." Old Madam Yu came out to greet them.
Li He said, "Aunt Yu, you're in good health."
"Don't stand on ceremony. Come in and treat it as your own home." Old Madam Yu pulled Li He into the house.
Li He gave her the gift. Old Madam Yu was courteous but she still accepted it happily.
Yu Dehua's son, Yu Bo, was forced to sit on a chair to entertain the guests. His head drooped and he didn't say a word.
Old Madam Yu said, "You're almost sixteen. Why are you still crying like a woman?"
Yu Bo didn't say a word.
Li He teased, "How are you going to pick up girls when you're driving such a broken car?"
This topic piqued Yu Bo's interest, and he continued, "Driving a good car doesn't necessarily mean you can pick up a good girl. In fact, there are very few materialistic gold diggers. The key is whether a man can really understand her and love her like a child! I've been driving my old Ford for half a year and I can't even remember the number of girls I've picked up. They all smiled happily and sincerely when they sat in my Ford. Some girls even asked me out of concern, 'Why don't you drive your dad's Ping Zhi?' "
Everyone laughed.
