As soon as they reached the entrance of the Hibiscus Hall, Li Nanxing and his companions heard a rude laugh coming from inside the private room: "Are there a few more bumpkins from China this time?"
The gloomy mood just now dissipated in an instant. Just as Li Nanxing was about to go in and say a few words, Zhang Siheng's serious voice came from inside: "Ms. Song, this is a gathering of Chinese college students. It is mainly for Chinese students in the United States to communicate and discuss. There are no requirements for status or wealth! International students from China are also candidates for this gathering. I hope Miss Song will stop saying such rude words!"
"Hmph! What do you care what I say? These country bumpkins from China have made countless jokes, and they won't let people say anything? This is my cousin's family property. I can say whatever I want here. What do you care about me?" The impolite voice continued.
The waiter who led Li Nanxing and his friends kept his eyes and noses on the road, pretending not to hear them and said to Li Nanxing and his friends: "This is the 'Hibiscus Hall'. Guests, please go in by yourselves!" After that, the other party left.
Li Nanxing pushed the door open and went in. This private room was quite large, half of it was a dining table and the other half was a leisure and living room, enough to accommodate dozens of people!
Chinese people usually eat and talk at the same time. This private room has quite Chinese characteristics.
Li Nanxing and his friends arrived relatively early, and there were only seven or eight people sitting in the leisure living room. They were all Chinese, both boys and girls.
Two well-dressed wealthy girls sat on a sofa, and the others were seated in twos and threes elsewhere. Zhang Siheng was standing in front of a young man dressed like a wealthy young man, saying, "...Mr. Lu, I think you've condescended to attend this party because you're impressed by the quality of these American college students! I think the most important thing when making friends is equality and friendship! Or, if it's not convenient for you here, we can temporarily move to another place. That's not impossible!"
Although Zhang Siheng's sharp tongue has been restrained after some time of experience on Wall Street, he is still as tough as ever!
Mr. Lu looked a little embarrassed at the moment. He had heard before that Harvard students had held a college student party. He also heard that many children of the elite class in the upper class of American society also attended the party. The party was held at the Klein family's manor. He heard that the response to the party was quite good.
Mr. Lu did not attend the party at that time, and only found out about it later when his friends mentioned it.
This time, he heard from a friend that the organizer of that party was going to hold another college student party, but it was a small party limited to Chinese college students. Mr. Lu immediately said that this small party could be held in his family's club, so the venue for this party was set in his family's property.
Of course, when Mr. Lu's parents heard that he planned to use the private room of their club to hold a college student party, they also agreed very much. They also praised him for his decisiveness. Holding such a party for elite college students at home left a good impression on others. Then in the future, when these college students enter society and need something, won't they think of his club first?
China has always been a society based on personal relationships, and building good relationships with others is the most important thing.
Therefore, Lu's parents specially reserved the largest private room for them to hold the party, hoping that this party would be a success.
Things were going smoothly. When they learned that the Lu family was willing to provide a private room in the club, they agreed to use the Lu family club as the venue for the party. However, they didn't expect that their cousin who was in high school also heard about it from her parents, thought it was fun, and clamored to come and participate.
Mr. Lu suddenly felt a headache.
His cousin has lived in the United States since she was a child. Although she can speak Chinese, her style of behavior is more like that of white Americans.
Just like this party, my cousin thought it was the same as the various parties she usually attended. Can those parties hosted by white Americans be serious parties?
No matter how he said that this party was different from the ones she had attended before, his cousin refused to listen and insisted on coming, even bringing her best friend along.
She is a high school student, and she came to attend a party for college students. I don’t know what she is trying to do!
Although Mr. Lu really wanted to complain about his cousin, he decided to keep his mouth shut because of his cousin's surname.
Li Nanxing had also seen the messages from the two girls on the sofa.
One was just an ordinary rich girl, and the other was named Song Jingyi. Her ancestors were all from a family of officials, and they were one of the branches of the Song family, one of the four major families during the Republic of China period.
His ancestors also worked in the Nationalist government in their early years. Later, the family moved to Taiwan. Later, his grandparents immigrated to the United States with the whole family.
The Song family?
Haha, these so-called four major families of the Republic of China were examples of corruption and making huge profits from national disasters during the Republic of China period!
At that time, the country was deeply mired in war, poor and backward, and the people were living in dire straits. However, those in power in the Nationalist government were embezzling state assets one after another.
According to the saying at that time, the four major families in the Republic of China period had accumulated wealth of more than 10 billion US dollars.
Harry S. Truman, then President of the United States, heard from a banker that the Soong and Kong families did have $2 billion in Manhattan. He then ordered the FBI to secretly investigate the assets of the four families in the United States.
In 1955, when Truman was 70 years old, he said in an interview with the media: "I have a wish now. I hope to live to see Chiang and Soong sent to prison. They are thieves, and every member of their family is a thief. The United States provided Chiang's government with $1 billion in aid, and they stole $750 million and invested it in Sao Paulo, Brazil, and some even invested in New York real estate right here at our feet."
During World War II, the United States did provide aid to the Nationalist government, with a total of 1 billion US dollars. As a result, 750 million US dollars of it was divided up by those in power and then taken back to the United States for investment!
The money actually returned to the United States, and even the then US president was speechless!
Of course, Li Nanxing knew about the Song family, a corrupt family. When she first came to the United States, she went to the homes of these corrupt officials and plundered them without hesitation. However, the property she looted was just a drop in the bucket of their assets. They started investing in real estate, stocks, funds, oil companies, natural gas companies and other industries decades ago, not to mention the money in the bank!
