Super-rich: Spending money is just a job!

Chapter 208 Returning South for Spring Festival (Chapter 31)

The next day, Xiaomeng woke up late, and everyone didn't gather and set off until after 10 a.m.

Xiaomeng sat in the spacious "van" and wrote a script on her laptop.

And you know what? Rereading the old book actually sparked a lot of new ideas. Yesterday's gossip about the wealthy was definitely worth it; it fits perfectly into the script after being adapted.

Adding a few plot twists made it even more fun.

Xiaomeng chuckled as she wrote the character dialogue, thoroughly enjoying herself.

Luckily, my older sister wasn't in the same car as her, otherwise we would have thought she had a seizure.

Xiao Tang was in the same car as her, sitting next to her, barely daring to breathe. He knew she was writing a script, and only dared to crane his neck to peek. When he saw something exciting, he couldn't help but cautiously discuss it with Xiao Meng.

And you know what? It's even more interesting when people are discussing it, and it can provide extra inspiration.

The two of them sat in the car and worked out a script. After lunch, they went through it again, fixed some bugs, and made the plot flow more smoothly.

"Xiaomeng, you really have a talent for writing this. I definitely couldn't have done it." Xiao Tang's gaze towards Xiaomeng was different now; it was filled with admiration. This was a real writer who could earn money through her writing—that's rare, and she was even a cute girl! Intriguing.

Xiaomeng casually said, "Didn't you provide a lot of inspiration? That's great. I've received my royalties, so I'll treat you to dinner."

"It's different. I can generate inspiration, but when it comes to writing, I just can't. I can't even come up with an opening. I need you to have a framework before I can have any ideas about the details. Not everyone can be a playwright." Xiao Tang thought her ability was quite impressive and rare.

Xiaomeng finished the script, printed out two copies, and sent them by registered mail. One copy was sent to Lawyer Xia, and the other to Xiaocheng. This way, the copyright could be confirmed. Xiaoxia had reminded her to do this; although they were trustworthy friends, it was always good to keep clear accounts even between close relatives.

……

In the afternoon, the group of them appeared together at an equestrian sports venue.

The Ming family children naturally appeared dressed in designer brands, while Xiaomeng, thinking she was attending an ordinary sports meet, naturally chose to wear full sportswear.

She was oblivious to social cues, and sitting among a group of well-dressed members of the Jockey Club, she didn't feel uneasy at all.

The main reason was that she was sitting behind Mrs. Ming, with her older sister next to her. The lawyer, Lang, who was sitting next to Mrs. Ming, kept turning around to talk to them, handing them tissues and water, making him impossible to ignore.

Xiao Tang busied himself introducing the ongoing competition to her, explaining the ins and outs of it. Xiao Meng was so busy watching and listening that she didn't have time to pay attention to how others were looking at them.

Attorney Lang had some acquaintances at the event; people would come up to shake his hand and chat with him from time to time. For some reason, sometimes they would even include their relatives and friends in the handshake. Xiao Meng found this a bit strange, as she didn't recognize any of them. It was all interfering with her watching the game.

"Ah Mei, who's sitting behind Mrs. Ming? Is she Dr. Lang's relative? They're so beautiful. Ah Feng just told me that she went up to take a closer look and found that these two seemed to be without makeup; their skin was so clear and radiant, you couldn't even see their pores. Is that true?" A young lady with exquisite makeup and big wavy hair asked Ming Hui Mei.

Minghui looked over and immediately spotted the group of mainlanders. "I heard they are Dr. Lang's relatives, but they shouldn't be his family members. They are staying separately in my hotel."

My mom didn't tell me they were boyfriend and girlfriend, and she even planned to introduce my older cousin to Lawyer Lang.

The two sisters that Attorney Lang brought were indeed beautiful. As for whether they were wearing makeup, I don't know; I couldn't tell. People said they weren't. Does lipstick count? I saw the older sister reapply lipstick while we were eating together.

"Really? The old lawyer didn't explicitly say what their relationship was? Are they related, like sisters?"

"Possibly, but why are you asking? Do you have a crush on Dr. Lang?"

“That Dr. Lang is very popular, and he’s good-looking too. Many families want to use him to invest in the mainland market and want to win him over. Our relatives also want to ask him.”

"Oh, my mom said that it seems like that person is a friend that Attorney Lang is pursuing. Although we don't know if it will work out in the future, it seems that Attorney Lang is quite interested in that person." Hui Mei provided the information to her friend.

"It has to be you. I asked your fourth sister, and she doesn't know anything."

"Needless to say, she's spoiled and has no sense of propriety. She almost offended someone yesterday. My mom told me to keep an eye on her during the Spring Festival. With her silly personality, she should just go back abroad. It seems she's not of any use right now."

"Hey, what about your older cousin?"

What does my eldest cousin have?

"Didn't you say your mother wanted to introduce you to Dr. Lang?"

"Hey, it's a pity they didn't click, and the guy has other ideas too. Let's wait and see. After all, we're all friends in the same industry, and many relationships end up being formed quite unexpectedly..."

On the other side, when Attorney Lang mentioned Xiaomeng's horse purchase, Mrs. Ming was very understanding. "There are many horse farms in Hong Kong, and there are quite a few horses that can be traded. I'll ask someone to help you inquire later."

By the way, which of the horses that performed earlier did you like?

Xiaomeng answered honestly, "They all look fine. You can't tell just by looking at them. Can we take a look in person?"

“Of course that’s possible.” Mrs. Ming raised her hand and someone came over to greet her; a horse farm manager was quickly summoned.

Hearing that Xiaomeng planned to buy a horse here to learn and practice equestrian sports, the stable manager immediately invited Xiaomeng to the back stables to see the horse.

The stables at the horse farm are a large complex of very tall buildings, containing not only stables for keeping horses but also training grounds for training them.

The horse farm manager took Xiaomeng and Xiaotang to the training ground, and then the horsemen took out one by one the horses that could be sold for a ride.

These horses all belong to owners, and they wouldn't usually be brought out for anyone to pick and choose from. But since this was a task assigned by Mingtai, the owners of these horses certainly wouldn't refuse Mingtai's purchase request. They would be more than happy to have the opportunity to interact with Mingtai.

Xiaomeng was unaware of the inside story. She thought buying horses here was a simple matter, like buying fish—just pick one you like, pay for it, and you're good to go.

Xiaomeng didn't know how to judge, but she heard that horses that could participate in competitions had to be over eight years old, so she asked the racecourse manager to help her screen them according to that age.

After careful consideration, the horse farm manager decided to keep the horses aged between seven and twelve. A horse's active lifespan is actually quite short; even with proper training, a horse will be seven or eight years old by then, and a twenty-year-old horse is already considered middle-aged.

He would never dare recommend the middle-aged horse to Xiaomeng.

That left only five or six horses. They were all very fine-looking horses. Xiaomeng didn't know how to describe them, but they just looked really handsome.

The horse farm manager explained that some of these horses were born in New Zealand, some in Australia, and some in Ireland. They are all warmbloods from renowned horse farms.

They've already trained; with a little practice, they'll be ready to compete.

The racecourse manager suggested that Xiaomeng should come and experience it for herself, as choosing a horse also depends on fate.

Xiaomeng deeply agreed.

She went down to the track to try out each horse, and finally chose a glossy, sleek chestnut horse, seven years old, for two million.

Xiaomeng was drawn to this horse's lively personality; it would even tap its feet to the beat of music, demonstrating an exceptional sense of rhythm. Xiaomeng fell in love with it the moment she rode it.

Xiaomeng signed the contract, paid for the horse, and also paid a monthly boarding fee of 50,000 yuan for it at the horse farm. If she wants to transport the horse back to China in the future, there will be additional quarantine and transportation fees, which she heard will be quite substantial.

Xiao Tang muttered to himself, "This is so troublesome. If we were in the mainland, we wouldn't need to go through all this trouble. We could just go to the various horse farms to choose."

However, he also admitted that the horses at this horse farm do look a bit more magnificent than those on the mainland. This is probably because these horses were scoured up from all over the world by various powerful figures.

The horse that Xiaomeng chose cost two million; not many horse farms in China are willing to buy such expensive horses.
