We're building a super chaebol in Hong Kong
#481 - Happy New Year's Eve
In the evening, Su Cheng specially invited Yang Chaoye and his wife, as well as Zhang Zhongmou and his wife, to his home.
After all, they had only been in Hong Kong for a few months, and their relatives and friends were not in Hong Kong.
Li Yihui, being from Singapore and relatively close to Hong Kong, had returned to Singapore a day early to celebrate the New Year.
As for Zhang Qizheng, he had settled in Hong Kong for several years and had completely integrated into Hong Kong life. Therefore, he was busy dealing with relatives and friends, and Su Cheng did not disturb him.
Wei Li, being a foreigner himself, had been in Hong Kong for over a decade, with his family all here and friends all over Hong Kong, so Su Cheng did not invite him either.
Tonight, the Su family's villa was very lively.
The Filipino maids in the house generally did not go home for the New Year.
Most of the bodyguards were also smuggled in and had no relatives here.
Therefore, although Su Cheng allowed them to take shifts, everyone was unwilling to take shifts and continued to spend the New Year at the Su family villa.
Naturally, Su Cheng did not object to this.
The New Year should be lively.
If everyone went back, and the Su family villa seemed deserted, then for Su Cheng, the New Year would not be very meaningful.
More than thirty people filled four large tables on the first floor of the villa.
The tables were full of sumptuous dishes.
Su Cheng specially had someone turn on the TV on the first floor so that everyone could watch TV programs while eating.
At this time, Jia Yi Television was broadcasting the Jia Yi Spring Festival Gala.
This was broadcast live, so what everyone saw was the real-time performance from Jia Yi Television.
"It's been a long time since I've felt such a strong Spring Festival atmosphere!" Zhang Zhongmou exclaimed.
He went to Harvard University at the young age of 18 and had since spent his time in the United States.
Although many cities in the United States have Chinatowns, Zhang Zhongmou's Texas Instruments was located in Dallas, Texas, and Dallas did not even have a decent Chinese community in this era, let alone any Spring Festival atmosphere.
Every year during the Spring Festival, Zhang Zhongmou's family celebrated alone at home, or invited friends in Texas to spend it together.
But Hong Kong was different. It was a city dominated by Chinese people, and it had all the Chinese traditions. The Spring Festival atmosphere was naturally very strong.
In later generations, some people felt that if you were to select the city that best preserves Chinese traditional culture, Hong Kong would definitely be one of them!
This is enough to show how much the people here value the inheritance of traditional culture.
Su Cheng's family background in his current identity is very simple. His grandfather fled to Hong Kong during the Anti-Japanese War, thus losing contact with relatives on the mainland.
In Hong Kong, Su Cheng's grandfather met a single woman who had also fled and came together. They formed a family and gave birth to Su Cheng's father, Su Tianhe.
Su Cheng's mother was also an intellectual who had illegally immigrated from the north. She happened to meet Su Tianhe, who had returned from studying abroad, and eventually, the two fell in love.
Perhaps Su Cheng's mother still had relatives in the north, but Su Cheng was completely unaware of their affairs. His mother did not leave any information about her in the north.
Both Su Cheng's grandfather and Su Tianhe only had one son.
This led to Su Cheng having no relatives in Hong Kong after Su Tianhe passed away.
The family background is very simple, and somewhat miserable.
If it were the original Su Cheng, perhaps he would feel lonely spending the New Year alone!
But after all, Su Cheng had transmigrated, and he had seen everything through the internet in later generations, so his ability to accept things was much stronger.
What's more, he is not alone now.
He has women!
He has wealth!
He has status!
These are things that countless people dream of.
"I'm okay. When I was at IBM, I used to go to Chinatown in New York every Spring Festival to feel the festive atmosphere. It's not bad there. I also have relatives in Chinatown in New York, but no matter how strong the atmosphere is, it can't compare to Hong Kong. This place is really good, it gives me a feeling of returning to my roots. I've decided to stay in Hong Kong forever!" Yang Chaoye laughed.
IBM's headquarters is in Armonk, New York, which is in the same state as New York City, so it was very convenient for him to go to Chinatown in New York.
"Let's not talk about these things. Tonight is a festive day. Let's have a drink first and wish everyone a Happy New Year!" Su Cheng said with a smile, raising his glass to everyone at the four tables.
Each table had several bottles of authentic Maotai sauce-flavored liquor, which Su Cheng had specially bought through some channels.
"Happy New Year's Eve!" More than thirty people stood up and said in unison.
The men, except for the bodyguards who couldn't drink liquor because they had to be on duty, and those who had to drive, all drank liquor.
As for the women, they could drink liquor, beer, or beverages as they pleased.
The entire New Year's Eve dinner did not end until ten o'clock in the evening.
He hadn't drunk so much liquor in a long time, and he still felt a little dizzy.
With the smell of alcohol on him, Su Cheng fell asleep unconsciously under Zhong Chuhong's care.
The next day, it was past twelve noon when Su Cheng gradually woke up.
His head was a little sore. Su Cheng rarely drank alcohol. He drank a lot last night, so his body inevitably couldn't handle it.
This was also the first time in a long time that Su Cheng had gotten up so late.
Usually, due to his biological clock, he would basically wake up around seven o'clock.
"Boss, you're finally awake. Do you feel better?" Zhong Chuhong came in from outside and couldn't help but ask with concern when she saw Su Cheng getting up.
"It's nothing, just a little dizzy, just the aftereffects of drinking. It'll be fine later," Su Cheng shook his head and smiled.
"You threw up a lot last night, it scared me to death," Zhong Chuhong continued.
"Did I?" Su Cheng tried hard to remember, but he couldn't.
However, there was indeed an unpleasant smell in the room, although the smell was not very strong.
He and Yang Chaoye, Zhang Zhongmou, and others had indeed drunk a lot last night. This was also the most liquor he had drunk at one time since he came to this world.
He could still hold on when he sent them away from the Su family villa, but he couldn't hold on after returning to the third floor. He couldn't remember what happened after that.
"Of course, you did, Boss. Now that you're awake, I'll open the windows and doors to ventilate the room," Zhong Chuhong said as she opened all the windows to let the outside air in.
When Su Cheng was sleeping, Zhong Chuhong was afraid of him getting cold, so she didn't ventilate the room.
Looking at Zhong Chuhong, who was busy doing things, Su Cheng couldn't help but sigh that a home cannot be without a woman.
If it were just him alone, he estimated that his life would be sloppy. (End of this chapter)
