Volume 4: The World of Great Conflict Chapter 0381 Thirteenth Aunt
"I guess so. We can help the poor who can be helped and help those in need.
I'll ask Huiwen to transfer 50 million Hong Kong dollars to you. When you go to Beijing, donate it to the Asian Games Preparatory Committee, and inject another 150 million into the foundation. The foundation should also make money, and can't rely solely on transfusions."
"Okay, I'll take care of it."
After talking with Fang Mengyin, Nan Yi went to Nan Ruoyin's room and told her that he wanted to take Sophie Marceau out for a walk and asked her to stay at home.
Then, amid Nan Ruoyin's contempt, Nan Yi took Sophie Marceau out.
They first went to a restaurant by Victoria Harbour for dinner, and then strolled along Queen's Road Central. When they were tired, Sophie Marceau pulled them into a bar on Bonham Strand West.
Normally, it was only around six o'clock and the bar was not open to customers yet. However, as soon as he entered the bar, Nan Yi saw that the booths and bar counter were already occupied.
Taking a closer look at a booth, Nan Yi discovered an acquaintance, Gao Zhilin, who had just made her debut not long ago but would be dubbed the "rich man harvester" in the future.
In his previous life, Nan Yi and she had met at a banquet. Perhaps because he was too short a leek, people simply didn't bother to cut him, and instead cut away the big leek that Nan Yi had to humble himself to that night.
Retracting his gaze, Nan Yi said to Sophie Marceau: "Where do you sit?"
"Sit at the bar. You can feel the atmosphere of the bar best when sitting at the bar." Sophie Marceau said, pointing at the bar.
"In Paris, do you often go to bars?"
Nan Yi was not so bored and authoritarian as to ask Ya Zhenni to keep track of Sophie Marceau's daily schedule, and he was completely in the dark about the details of Sophie Marceau's life.
"There's a small bar near the apartment, and I often go there to sit down." Sophie Marceau said, pulling Nan Yi to sit down at the bar. "What do you usually drink in Xiangkeng?"
"This place is mainly influenced by the Eagle Country. People usually drink whiskey, brandy, rum, gin, cocktails, beer and the like. I rarely come to bars, and when I do, I usually drink whiskey and beer."
Then, Nan Yi said to the bartender, "Handsome, what brand of whiskey is popular recently?"
“Chivas, the taste and price are both acceptable.”
Nan Yi turned to Sophie Marceau and said, "Whiskey?"
"D'accord."
After the bartender poured the wine, Nan Yi and Sophie Marceau started talking in a low voice, asking and answering questions. Nan Yi introduced the customs and culture of Xiangquan to Sophie Marceau.
Gulp, gulp. Suddenly, the bartender started adding wine to the two people's glasses.
Nan Yi looked at the bartender in surprise. How could a bartender in a bar take the initiative to refill customers' drinks? He didn't buy a whole bottle, but only ordered two glasses. How should the refills be calculated?
"Sir, there is a bit of trouble over there. Can you help?" The bartender took Nan Yi's gaze and pointed in the direction of Gao Zhilin's seat.
As soon as Nan Yi and his companion entered the bar, the bartender saw a group of bodyguards behind them, so he came to him.
Nan Yi turned his head and looked over. Gao Zhilin was obviously drunk. There were a few golden-haired monsters surrounding him, and it seemed that they wanted to take him away.
It's really fashionable. Although hair dye has been around for a long time, it has only become popular in the past two years. It's the first time that Nan Yi has seen a man with dyed hair in Xiangkeng.
Of course, baked black oil does not count.
Nan Yi turned around and said to the bartender, "You guys are in charge of the place, why don't they show up?"
This bar is quite large. To open such a big bar in Xiangkeng, one must either have a high enough status, a wide enough network of contacts, or a strong enough influence to be able to cover it up.
Or you have to find the community and have friendly negotiations with it, and donate generously to the community's "targeted assistance fund". The community will then be moved by the bar owner's kindness and climb up the ladder, sending a number of social workers who are good at resolving neighborhood disputes to set up a social work station in the bar.
This kind of social work station has a high-sounding code name - divergence terminal, but most people are accustomed to calling this group of social workers "watching the place".
Nan Yi's question made the bartender hesitant.
Looking at the bartender's expression, Nan Yi thought for a moment, looked around the bar again, and then looked at Gao Zhilin, "Tiger cub, go take care of it."
"yes."
"Adam, do you know that woman?" Everything was happening right under her nose, so it was impossible for Sophie Marceau to be unaware of it.
"I know him, he's an actor from Xiangxun."
"Movie actor?"
"Yes."
The tiger cub brought a few people to the golden-haired monsters and stopped the golden-haired monsters who were really supporting Gao Zhilin and preparing to leave .
"Get out of my way, you're looking for death. Make way for our Brother Kun." A golden-haired monster walking in front shouted at the tiger cub.
"I'll only say this once. Put the person down and I'll let you go. Don't test my patience."
"Put this woman down and I will let you go. Don't test my patience." The tiger cub said firmly, while lifting his clothes to reveal the pistol under his armpit.
There are many gangsters in Xiangkeng, and many of them are arrogant, but there is also an unspoken rule, which is not to mess with the police, and even more so not to mess with the rich people who are more difficult to deal with than the police. The ones in front of him are obviously bodyguards of wealthy families, and they are carrying guns, so they are obviously not to be messed with.
"You're so stupid! I finally met a good one, but you got snatched away by her." A few golden-haired monsters kept Gao Zhilin there, swearing at her, and left.
The tiger cub helped Gao Zhilin walk to Nan Yi's side and placed her on the empty seat next to Nan Yi.
The bartender watched Gao Zhilin being rescued, and quickly said to Nan Yi: "Thank you, sir. Miss Gao is our old customer, but we can't afford to offend those people. If it weren't for you, Miss Gao would have been in their hands."
"It's okay." Nan Yi pushed away Gao Zhilin, who was leaning against him dishonestly while mumbling, and continued to talk to Sophie Marceau: "My flight to Beijing will be tomorrow. Someone will take you to the consulate to apply for a visa. You can fly over after the visa is obtained."
"Then how long will I stay here alone?"
"It won't be long. We can fly the day after tomorrow. You and Rachel can have fun in Xiangkeng tomorrow."
"Okay, I'll stay one more day then."
Nan Yi picked up the wine glass, drank the wine in it in one gulp, took out a hundred-dollar Hong Kong dollar and put it on the bar, then was about to leave with Sophie Marceau.
"Sir, Miss Gao?"
Nan Yi turned around and looked at the bartender who was talking loudly. "This guy is getting too aggressive. Didn't he see that there was someone next to him? He has a keen eye. He should have created this opportunity when I was alone."
“Do you have any partner hotels?”
Generally speaking, this kind of bar has cooperating hotels and designated drivers, which are similar to the parking tickets provided by entertainment venues in CBDs in later generations. These are all supporting value-added services, except that services like hotels and designated drivers are beneficial to the guests and also provide rebates for the bar.
"The Langxuan Hotel next door is our affiliated hotel. I'll give you a list. There are discounts if you go there."
Nan Yi helped the drunk Gao Zhilin up, nodded to the bartender, took the bill he handed over, stuffed it into his pocket, and carried the man on his shoulder as if he was carrying a slab of pork and walked out.
Just after taking two steps, Gao Zhilin on his shoulder said vaguely: "Put me down, I want to... vomit... puff puff..."
"The shovel of the house!"
Nan Yi grabbed Gao Zhilin's hands, turned around, and threw the person up. Just as he was about to throw the person out, he thought for a moment and then supported the person by the waist and helped him to the ground.
Gao Zhilin staggered, and in an instant, he squatted down again, vomiting violently.
"Hahaha, Adam, should I go back alone first to create some opportunity for you?" Looking at the leftover stains on Nan Yi's left chest, Sophie Marceau laughed wildly.
"Is it funny?" After giving Sophie Marceau a sidelong glance, Nan Yi took out a list from his pocket and said to the school beauty next to him, "Send her to the hotel and find a waiter to take care of her."
After saying that, he took off his coat and cursed it inwardly.
Speaking of which, Gao Zhilin was feeling depressed. Her marriage was not going well and they divorced after only half a year. She returned to filming movies, but her career was not going well either. Today, the young director actually wanted to call her to get a room, saying that he wanted to find a role for her.
"That's a nice thought , but without a fortune of hundreds of millions, it's just a dream to touch my aunt."
Just like that, Gao Zhilin slapped the young director in the face, kicked him in the vitals, ran out, and went to the bar she often went to to drink to relieve her boredom. Unexpectedly, she got drunk and didn't even notice that a few dwarfs had drugged her.
If the bartender hadn't asked Nan Yi for help, she might have been in trouble.
No, she is already miserable!
Nan Yi looked at the branded merchandise in his hand, the Swallowtail Butterfly 1983 Winter Limited Edition... It was a few leftover fabrics from the factory's work on completing a single order, and there was too little fabric to make new styles. The fabric might not be popular this year if they purchased more, so Zheng Wenqi simply used the remaining fabric to make men's clothing. Each of the senior and middle-level employees of Swallowtail Butterfly got one, and Nan Yi also got one.
"It's a branded product. He stained it. How can I not compensate him?"
Nan Yi thought that Guan Erfu’s Aigemei Fan Factory was also listed last year, and its market value was not bad. With more than 500 million Hong Kong dollars, he should have some money in his hands.
"How about just pimp it back?" Nan Yi thought viciously in his heart.
