Chapter 1224 Women are Fickle

The Guo family's circle must be extraordinary.

Li Rui asked curiously: "Who are there? I won't be too abrupt when I go there, right?"

Guo Zhijun smiled and said, "All are the younger generations in the Hong Kong rich circle. This circle generally does not attract outsiders, but you are different. You are not only a member of the mainland rich list, but you are also young and fully meet the criteria for joining."

Li Rui was very interested.

According to Guo Zhijun, this circle should be composed of descendants of the old money class in Hong Kong. These classes rose in the 1960s and 1970s. After years of accumulation and precipitation, they have not only paper wealth, but also strong connections and background backers. If they can join this circle, it will definitely be of great help to Li Rui's future investment in Hong Kong.

Li Rui said: "If it's not trouble, I'm willing to see the world."

Guo Zhijun said: "No trouble, I'll say hello to them in advance. By the way, you can bring your female companion with you."

Li Rui nodded, things were settled.

Leaving Hollywood, Li Rui said, "What are the arrangements next?"

Chen Qinglian said: "Listen to you."

Li Rui said: "If you listen to me, then accompany you to go shopping? Go to Sogo, Swire or Harbour City?"

Chen Qinglian said: "I have nothing to buy."

Li Rui said: "You have to be my female companion the day after tomorrow to attend the party of the rich third generation. You have to buy a few more famous brands. Let's go shopping!"

Without saying anything, he pulled Chen Qinglian into the taxi, first went to sogo in Tsim Sha Tsui, then to the nearby Harbour City, and finally to Pacific Place on King Kong Road.

Hermes, Prada, Chanel, and Donkey's flagship store swept around, and the two returned to the hotel in big bags.

"Did we buy too much?" Chen Qinglian didn't remember how much money she had spent on her card, but the seven-digit number was almost the same.

Li Rui said seriously: "Is it too much? Not too much. In the future, you have many opportunities to participate in various banquets and cocktail parties. How can you buy a few more clothes? Moreover, these clothes can only be worn once. Otherwise, media reporters will see you wearing the same clothes and carrying the same bag over and over again. They think that Xingrui Capital is an empty shell, and partners can only wear old clothes!"

Chen Qinglian sneered and said, "Don't make excuses, you just want to give me a gift!"

Li Rui laughed and said, "Then don't you thank me?"

"How can I thank you?"

"I just now had a good dress. You look very feminine. Why don't you wear it for me?"

...

"The clothes are wrinkled."

After some trouble, Chen Qinglian looked at the five-digit price on the clothes tag with distress, and really wanted to pinch Li Rui.

Li Rui lay lazily on the bed and said with a smile: "If you wrinkle, just buy another one!"

Chen Qinglian was both angry and funny: "You really have the face of a rich nouveau riche now!"

"Do you like it?"

"Don't like it?"

"I don't like how loud you just shouted!"

"You'll say it?"

"Oh, I dare not!"

After laughing and making a fuss, the two of them were hungry again.

Li Rui said: "Let's go and take you to the food street."

"Are you going to Lan Kwai Fong?" Chen Qinglian asked a little yearning.

Li Rui said: "Lan Kwai Fong is a fool to foreigners. I'll take you to a better place!"

The place where Li Rui took Chen Qinglian to was called Nosfota Terrace, which is a food street hidden among high-rise buildings and quiet in the midst of the chaos.

The two of them took a bus to the Hong Kong Island Observatory, got off the bus and walked through the Jinbali Road and climbed a small hill. They first smelled the smell of wine, then heard the cheerful singing. After walking a short distance, they saw a new world.

There are various special bars and restaurants along the road, with chairs placed casually on the roadside. Diners sit on chairs, eating while watching the view on the street.

Li Rui introduced to Chen Qinglian: "There are more than 30 restaurants and bars here, and each of them has different characteristics. Italian cuisine, Fat National cuisine, South Tai cuisine, Island cuisine, Middle Eastern cuisine, Mexican cuisine, and food from all over the world can be found here. Lan Kwai Fong is all outsiders, and they are all Hong Kong locals."

"Why do you know everything?" Chen Qinglian asked.

Li Rui pointed to his head: "I gave him a nickname, a human figure, a thousand-degree person!"

The two of them walked around and stopped and finally chose an Italian restaurant.

There are not many people in the restaurant, the light is a bit dark, and candles are lit on the table, making the atmosphere very comfortable.

The two sat down and ordered a few signature dishes. Li Rui asked, "Do you want some wine?"

"You decided." Chen Qinglian said softly.

Li Rui asked the waiter to help recommend a bottle of wine and said with a smile: "This is the scene, the wine is so mellow, what else can my husband ask for?"

Chen Qinglian was also fascinated by the romantic atmosphere and whispered: "I really hope that time will stop at this moment..."

The Italian cuisine tasted really good. As the two were eating and drinking, a singer came over with a guitar in his arms, first in Italian, then in eagle, and then in Cantonese, saying a string of words, which was to ask Li Rui if he was willing to order a love song for Chen Qinglian.

Li Rui remembered a song he had heard in his previous life and said, "donnaemobile"?"

The singer looked at Chen Qinglian with a strange look and asked in confusion: "Sir, are you sure you want to sing a song?"

Li Rui took out two hundred-dollar bills: "Just sing this song."

The singer scratched his head, took the banknotes, adjusted the guitar strings slightly, bowed to the two of them and started singing.

“ladonnaèmobile

qualpiumaalvento,

mutad'accento

editensiero…”

The singer has a good singing voice and excellent singing skills. He has a bright voice and a choreography and dances with joy, and a very cheerful rhythm, which sounds very pleasant.

What surprised Chen Qinglian the most was that when guests at other tables heard this song, they all laughed while watching it, and shook their bodies to the rhythm.

Chen Qinglian whispered to Li Rui: "What is the name of this song? Why do you even speak Italian?"

Li Rui chuckled and said, "I don't even know how to say you in Italian, but I remember the title of this song very clearly."

"What's the name?"

"Women's fickle"

"The Freak of Women" is a famous singing segment in the classic opera "The Vanish" created by the famous Italian composer Verdi in 1851. When "The Vanish" was premiered, Verdi gave the score of "The Freak of Women" to the actors until the day before the performance.

During the premiere, the audience was shocked by the song, and cheers and applause kept ringing. From then on, "The Jester" and "The Freak of Women" spread wildly and spread all over Europe.

"What do the lyrics mean?" Chen Qinglian didn't know the allusion, and just heard the name and felt something was wrong, so she asked quickly.

Li Rui held back his smile and translated it for her: "Women love to change their minds, their feathers float in the wind, constantly changing their minds, constantly changing their tone, looking cute, and having a set of kung fu, sometimes with tears, sometimes with smile..."

When Chen Qinglian heard the lyrics that meant this, she realized why everyone looked at her and laughed annoyedly: "I don't understand if you bully me!"
