In the era of fetal wear, she became the first socialite in Hong Kong

"Selene, long time no see~"

"Yan Yan, congratulations on your graduation and return to our Hong Kong headquarters!"

"Congratulations to our Miss Fu on her graduation!"

"..."

Song Xu's party was still held at the private clubhouse in Connaught Road Building. In his own words, "This was where I had my farewell party before I started school, so of course the welcome party for my return should be here too!"

There is a beginning and an end~

It was Song Xu who worked hard to organize the party, so Fu Ziyan naturally had no objection.

This private club is located in a building in Central and is mostly used for business meetings and banquets, but it is also completely fine for Fu Ziyan and others to have a small gathering here, as the club manager will arrange it in advance.

As for the theme...

Fu Ziyan secretly sighed that Song Xu really knew how to have fun.

A large area of ​​cloth blocks was piled on the cashmere carpet, with a fabric sofa next to it. The desk and coffee table were removed, leaving only a long bar against the wall... Not to mention the shadow of a business club, it wouldn't even be like this in a normal club for casual gatherings.

After Fu Ziyan greeted her friends one by one, she mentioned the arrangement: "Brother Song, do you want to have a small gathering with a Lego theme?"

Qi Mengchu, who was standing next to Fu Ziyan, smiled brightly: "Song Xu said that playing cards every time is too boring. Selene happens to like building blocks, so we should cater to her interests at the welcoming banquet~"

Fu Ziyan raised her eyebrows: "So, a group of us get together to build blocks?"

A large part of the friends at this party are playboys, the kind of rich young masters who have no worries about food, clothing, and eating, drinking, and having fun. But no matter how playboys they are, they would not gather together to play with building blocks.

Song Xu took a soft building block and threw it up. While catching the falling block, he replied, "Selene, look, this thing is so soft. Not only can you build a small house, but you can also play building block wars. It won't hurt when you hit someone."

After he finished speaking, he threw a building block to Fu Ziyan.

The direction of the force was accurately grasped, and Fu Ziyan received it with a slight raise of her hand.

As he said, hitting someone doesn't hurt. It has a soft texture, similar to a pillow, but what's rare is that it maintains this softness while still being able to hold its shape, so it doesn't interfere with building blocks.

Xi Qingqing, who arrived a little later than Fu Ziyan, laughed first and concluded, "So our theme tonight is stacking blocks + free-for-all?"

"Mr. Song and Ms. Qi are going for a childish look after their passionate romance~"

Song Xu faced his friends' teasing calmly, raised his chin slightly and said firmly: "Just tell me, do you want to play this mode?"

"To be honest, I think it's quite interesting."

"Now that we're here, why not have fun?"

"How can we spoil the fun of this game planned by Young Master Song?"

After a battle of building blocks in which no one was distinguished between friend and foe, the atmosphere quickly became lively.

It’s not that everyone is unfamiliar with each other, but as everyone gets older, and Fu Ziyan officially enters the career world after graduation, the past friendship will be somewhat affected by the reality of interests.

Because I spend most of my time in the UK, apart from Fu Ziyan's frequent friends like Xi Qingqing and Gu Anning, I haven't had many opportunities to see other friends in the past four years except at banquets or very occasional gatherings.

As opportunities to meet become fewer, estrangement is inevitable.

Those busy with their careers might be more cautious about future collaborations, while those who are more like amateurs rely on their family to freely explore. Fu Ziyan is already in a position where her attitude can influence the family's cooperation. Furthermore, it's been a long time since we last met, so the conversation isn't as open as before, which is evident from the greetings we exchanged when we first met.

Fu Ziyan understood, but she still felt a little regretful.

But after a thrilling and addictive battle with building blocks, the situation improved a lot.

how to say?

Probably similar to the house demolition effect.

I don't know how many times the randomly thrown building blocks have hit Fu Ziyan. She has suffered physical damage, so I am not so worried about whether a slip of the tongue during the chat will make Fu Ziyan unhappy.

Tired from the melee, some people leaned on the sofa, some fell on soft building blocks, and some simply sat on the ground, abandoning their wealthy image and appearing wild and unrestrained.

Fu Ziyan and Xi Qingqing leaned on the sofa, holding juice in their hands, looking relaxed, and chatting with their friends with a smile.

"Selene, are you coming back to officially take over the Yuanxi Hotel?" Harlan asked casually, leaning against soft building blocks and casually loosening his tie. "Since last November, I've been seeing reports in magazines and newspapers about the recent development of the Yuanxi Hotel's Western European branch. Almost every report has hinted at speculation about your succession."

"Well, after the New Year." Fu Ziyan had nothing to hide about things that would be known sooner or later. Instead, she chuckled and teased, "Harlan knows so much about it. Could it be that he's just found a new girlfriend who's a financial reporter?"

The whole audience burst into laughter.

Harlan went to university in the United States and was extremely open about relationships. At least every time Fu Ziyan heard gossip about him, the name of his girlfriend was different.

Ah, not really.

Occasionally, there will be the same name among different people. After all, the probability of some classic names appearing is quite high.

Harlan tutted his words. "Selene, what you said is really sad! Although you did guess half right this time, I still subscribe to magazines and newspapers regularly."

When you reach the wealth level of a family like theirs, real-time information is absolutely indispensable.

"half?"

Wang Ziyue laughed: "I know this, he was dating my colleague, we've broken up now, so she's considered his ex-girlfriend."

Oh oh~

No one, including Fu Ziyan, was surprised. For Harlan, this was all routine. She was even more curious: "How is Ayue's career going?"

As the only daughter of Hong Kong's renowned billionaire, Tse Kwan-yiu, Wang Ziyue studied journalism at Columbia University in the United States. However, she didn't embark on the typical gilded career of wealthy children. After graduation, she didn't embark on a life of extravagance and extravagance. Instead, she plunged headfirst into the elite profession, becoming a regular at the Hong Kong bureau of the Wall Street Journal.

Compared with many of the friends present who took up idle positions in their own companies after graduation and continued to eat, drink and have fun as usual, Wang Ziyue's rarity was almost comparable to Fu Ziyan.

After all, Ms. Xie only had her one child. Although her assets couldn't compare to Fu Qiyuan's, she was definitely number one on the list of Hong Kong's richest women, aside from the rather unlucky Fu Ziyan. Her investments were all in real estate, and a landlady's daily life could be relaxing, but Wang Ziyue chose a tough job for herself.

Working for a financial newspaper, especially a top-tier one like the Wall Street Journal, it's inevitable that some people would privately criticize her for "having to endure hardship without any effort" and "having nothing to do."

Wang Ziyue doesn't care about these sour remarks at all. As long as she is happy in her own life, no matter how others talk about her in private, they won't dare to make a scene in front of her.

"I feel very fulfilled. Although I'm a bit busy and the work I can do now is relatively basic, I think every day is interesting." Wang Ziyue smiled with a dimple. "Selene, just wait for the day when I interview you!"

Fu Ziyan smiled: "I think this day won't be too far away!"

The two looked at each other and smiled, their eyes full of high spirits.

The beautiful atmosphere of girls understanding and working together was broken in an instant.

"Are you only interviewing Selene? Ah Yue, please don't be partial!"

Everyone was laughing and joking, but this gathering was not just about joking. Amidst the jokes, Fu Ziyan received several invitations to collaborate.

For example, Xu Tingyang, who has established a firm foothold in the company after four years of employment, is no longer the playboy who secretly organized parties at the Peninsula Hotel without his parents' knowledge. He now wants to discuss cooperation in supplying snacks for the hotel's guest room mini-bar.

"Will Selene's localized supply solution in Western Europe also be applied to Southeast Asia?"

It was Xu Tingyang who spoke, but he was not the only one who pricked up his ears.

Hotel rooms have a lot to offer.

Toiletries, daily necessities, electrical appliances and furniture...

Although the Yuan Xi Hotel in Hong Kong has been in existence for several years, it seems unnecessary to seek supply of non-consumable items such as electrical appliances and furniture. However, everyone knows that the tourism industry has been doing well in recent years, and it is certain that the Yuan Xi Hotel will expand its stores in Southeast Asia.

We are friends when we are having fun, but when it comes to business, as a member of the family, while we enjoy wealth and glory, certain responsibilities are also engraved in our bones.

Whether they understand the family business or not is secondary, but it is still necessary for them to have first-hand information resources and pass it on to the people in power in the family.

Fu Ziyan also knew what they meant. She chuckled and avoided the topic: "That's a matter for later. I have to take over the Yuanxi Hotel first. You are indeed Mr. Xu. You have a very forward-thinking vision now. It seems that I have to work hard. I can't let you preempt Ayue's interview."

Someone got the message and followed up with a smile, "If Yanyan wants an interview, there were plenty of opportunities when Zephir went public last year."

"That's right, Selene, you have a really good eye for investment. You own shares in quite a few listed companies, right? Xiu Luo, Zefeier... Oh, by the way, I remember Selene also invested in Brother Duan's travel company. That Xingxian Travel Agency has been really popular lately. I see tour buses every time I go to the airport."

Fu Ziyan smiled and nodded: "I have to thank Brother Duan for letting me lie down and collect money. It's a pity that he didn't come today, otherwise I would have toasted him."

Song Xu chuckled and interrupted, "A glass of juice?"

Everyone knows that Miss Fu Ziyan doesn't like to drink in business situations. She just sips her lips when holding a red wine glass, and most of the time she just drinks juice.

But no one, whether it is partners or business seniors, would brag about this.

The question is "Ms. Fu is still young, it's normal that she doesn't like to drink."

In fact, Fu Ziyan enjoys tasting wine in bars or private gatherings, and she is extremely picky and will not drink anything other than wines from top-notch wineries.

Gu An Ning followed Song Xu's words and said, "And then get someone drunk?"

The whole audience burst into laughter again.

Most people in Hong Kong's business community know that Fu Ziyan doesn't drink alcohol in business situations. But at a certain business reception, Fu Ziyan set a new record by getting the founder of the company opposite her drunk with just a glass of juice.

Just... quite confused.

Fu Ziyan felt that she was innocent.

She just talked too much and drank a few more sips of juice to slow down. The person who came to toast her drank three glasses of red wine in one breath. In fact, three glasses were not a lot, but after he finished drinking, his eyes became blank and confused.

In the end, Fu Ziyan asked the team to evaluate the company project of the boss who got confused after three glasses of red wine, and then invested a small amount of money.

In fact, her team assessed that it was just a Class B project, which was optional to invest in. However, Fu Ziyan took into account the young boss's magical operation and decided to invest out of surprise and comfort.

It’s not much anyway, so just play around.

"Oh, by the way..."

Time passed quickly amidst the jokes.

After the gathering, Fu Ziyan attended several annual meetings and charity events before the New Year...The Lunar New Year is here again.
