Chapter 569 Different
The car drove for two hours before we saw the castle and the endless manor shining brightly in the sunset.
However, at this time, there were already many luxury cars lined up waiting to enter.
"This is Mr. Harriman's private estate, and its area ranks among the top ten estates in Hua City." James drove slowly while pointing and introducing it to them.
“Other people’s estates are either used as pastures, or they grow crops, or they are orchards or wineries, but Mr. Harriman’s ancestors have been very wealthy, and they have turned their own estate into a place for top society to relax and entertain.
There are dozens of types of facilities, such as holiday villas, swimming pools, tennis halls, gyms, shooting ranges, hot springs, golf courses, racecourses, fighting halls, tea ceremony halls, fencing halls, etc. Each venue is built according to the standards, and there is more than one venue.
After each of you pays 100,000 M gold, you will become a junior member here and can enter and exit any place at will.
I wonder if Mr. Fang knows how to shoot? Let's practice later?" James asked, raising his eyebrows.
"I touched a wooden warehouse more than ten years ago, so my hands are a little unfamiliar, but I can play with Mr. James," Fang Yuan nodded with a smile.
An Zhixia was also a little excited. Although she was not a particularly playful person and liked to stay at home when she had nothing to do, she could not stay at home in the 1970s and 1980s when there were no mobile phones or computers and she only had television to watch TV.
However, Xia Hua does not have many formal entertainment programs. At this moment, she once again felt the connection between time and space, and every cell in her body was excited.
She is an actress and has learned a lot of things. Target shooting appears in many movies and TV series. In order to experience the growth of the character, she practiced the wooden box method and developed the habit of touching the wooden box every week.
It is said that practice makes perfect. She persisted in this practice for nearly ten years. Her best result was having ten marbles pass through one hole. Even if the target was a moving one, she could still hit the mark ten times in a row. She was almost forced to change her career.
However, she has been in this world for ten years. No matter how good her marksmanship is, it is impossible for it to recover to its peak in a short period of time after being shelved for such a long time and having to change her body.
The traffic slowly drove into the manor, and the parking boys were busy helping the guests park their cars one by one. The men and women who came out of the luxury cars, their clothes, shoes, hats and even hair were exquisite, revealing a kind of lofty luxury and style.
An Zhixia and Fang Yuan had not thought of coming to such a place. Although they were well-dressed, they looked inferior among all the high-end custom-made clothes. It was only because of their outstanding appearance that they were not excluded and kicked out.
Fang Yuan took out two checks for 100,000 yuan each and handed them to the servant, then followed James into the hall with An Zhixia.
The castle's reception hall was very large, with an exceptionally high roof, which made people look extremely small, yet with nearly a thousand guests the hall still did not seem crowded.
"Come on, I'll take you to make some important people," James greeted them enthusiastically, and from time to time he smiled and nodded to greet familiar people.
Fang Yuan held An Zhixia's arm and said with a faint smile, "Isn't it the horse race at night? There will be a banquet after the race, right? It's a good opportunity for us to walk around and get familiar with the place before that. After the race, I'll have to trouble Mr. James to introduce us to business partners."
"With my pleasure," James was slightly surprised, then he understood and nodded with a smile.
Most of the people coming to the venue are regular customers. Even if some of them are coming for the first time, they are internationally famous. Among the nearly 1,000 people, less than half are from Xiahua, a country with a large population, and the number is even less than that of Country R.
But without exception, everyone came in their best clothes to show their best side to everyone.
Although it was winter, the owner of the manor was wealthy and powerful. The fireplace in the castle was burning brightly, and there was also a hot spring flowing. The meeting hall was warm as spring. Most of the men wore tuxedos, white shirts, and bow ties around their necks. Some of them were as trendy and fashionable as James. The ladies all wore gorgeous dresses that showed off their figures.
Fang Yuan took off his woolen coat, revealing a white shirt and a loose blue and white sweater, and black straight pants, looking casual and lazy. An Zhixia wore a red woolen dress, with only the collar and cuffs being white lotus leaves, and a black bow belt around her waist. She had a slender figure, and her light makeup couldn't hide her intense beauty.
The appearance and outward elegance and nobility of the upper class do not mean anything. After all, there are many fallen nobles and children of aristocratic families who have been shuffled out of the pattern.
In a realistic, cruel and extremely snobbish society, money and power are the only indicators of a person's status. Obviously, in the eyes of others, these two outstanding-looking Xia Hua people have neither of these two things, and they must have followed someone to squeeze in to broaden their horizons.
If they followed James to meet the tycoons now, they would only be looked down upon and despised, which would be of no use except bringing shame upon themselves and the country.
"There's still some time before the horse race, why don't we go to the shooting range to practice first?" After all, the guest was brought by himself, and James couldn't let him leave alone, so he invited him with a smile.
"Okay," Fang Yuan nodded.
James led them out of the hall with ease, walked along the glass corridor to the side hall, and got on the electric car.
You shouldn’t see many brilliant colors in the cold winter, but the estate has many hot springs, and the flowers and plants that time has forgotten in the summer are bustling and bustling.
The faint smell of sulfur in the hot spring is almost completely masked by the rich floral fragrance.
After driving for a quarter of an hour, they finally arrived at the semi-open-air shooting range.
By this time the sky was already dim, all the lights were turned on, and the entire venue was as bright as day.
There are many VIPs who spend time here. Men always like to compete with each other when they meet, and the shooting range is a must-go place. Moreover, they also like to bring beautiful and sexy female companions with them, enjoying the attentive service and admiring eyes of the beauties.
"Hey, Leo, are these two your friends?"
A few people who were drinking water and talking in the rest area saw James and the other two coming over, stood up and greeted them with a smile, their eyes fixed on An Zhixia with undisguised amazement and desirability.
Fang Yuan covered his wife tightly with a stern face.
Without waiting for James to speak, the tall brown-haired man who had been sitting on the sofa raised his eyebrows, swirled the red wine in his hand, raised the glass towards Fang Yuan with one hand, and pushed the blonde in his arms with the other hand: "Is this gentleman's first time here for target shooting? How about we have a competition between men and use the female companion as the prize?"
Fang Yuan glanced at him coldly and shook his head: "This is my wife. She is different from a female companion and cannot be used as a prize."
"Sir, don't you like me?" The blonde girl winked at him and walked over with a twist of her waist.
