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

Chapter 164 Year

Spring goes and autumn comes, and in the blink of an eye it is summer again.

In the past 1972, international financial situation was turbulent.

On June 23, the British government announced the decoupling of the British pound from the US dollar, allowing the exchange rate to float freely and breaking free from the constraints of the fixed exchange rate system. On July 6, the British Hong Kong government announced the decoupling of the Hong Kong dollar from the British pound and its direct peg to the US dollar, with the official fixed exchange rate set at 1 US dollar = 5.65 Hong Kong dollars.

In February of this year (1973), due to speculative selling of the US dollar, the US government once again announced the devaluation of the US dollar against gold. Subsequently, the British Hong Kong government lowered the fixed exchange rate of the Hong Kong dollar against the US dollar.

Against this backdrop, Fu Ziyan will end her high school life and will go to the UK after this summer vacation to start her university life.

The girl, who just turned 17, is tall and graceful, with youthfulness and elegance coexisting. She is like a shining pearl, gorgeous and breathtaking.

"Hey, look at that girl over there, she's so pretty!"

“It’s so white it reflects light.”

"Not only that, but her outfit is incredibly expensive. Judging from the material of her dress, it must be custom-made. I saw the pendant around her neck in 'Beauty' magazine. It's a new model from Van Cleef & Arpels this season, and it costs 38,000 yuan."

The companion gasped, "38,000! I can't make that much even after working for a whole year."

"Who says it's not true? Hey, how did they get reborn? How can they be so beautiful and have such a rich family? I'm so envious."

"you do not say!"

"Speaking of 'Meishang', I haven't bought this issue yet. Can you lend it to me later?"

"No problem, I'll bring it to you tomorrow."

Fu Ziyan, sitting in an open-air coffee shop, ignored the gazes from people around her and quietly drank her coffee with her head down.

Although the three young ladies at the other table were talking in low voices, Fu Ziyan had good ears and had nothing to do, so she accidentally heard it all.

Fu Ziyan, who is used to hearing others' praise and envy, automatically filtered out these contents and had only one thought in her mind - it seems that "Meishang" is doing really well and is quite popular.

A car pulled over to the side of the road, and a young girl in a V-neck red dress got out. She trotted towards the coffee shop, stopping in front of the "Brilliant Pearl" table. She said in a cheerful voice, "Yan Yan, I'm sorry, I kept you waiting! It's all my mom's fault. She kept nagging me before she left."

Fu Ziyan put down her coffee cup and glared at her, "This is the second time you've been late this month!"

Her beautiful eyes are full of radiance as she looks around, just like a vivid picture of a beauty.

Xi Qingqing was stunned for a moment by her good friend's stunning beauty, but then she came to her senses and raised her hand to swear, "I promise, there won't be a third time!"

Fu Ziyan snorted lightly, "If you do it again, I will definitely execute you without mercy."

Xi Qingqing chuckled and lowered his head to say, "I promise. Thank you for your forgiveness, Miss!"

The two of them stood up and walked towards a building not far from the coffee shop.

"Your mommy still doesn't approve of your relationship with Su Tunan?"

Xi Qingqing sighed, "That's right, she just wants me to find a boy of equal status. Actually, the Su family is not poor, and they are a family of scholars, but she just doesn't like them."

Fu Ziyan was silent for a moment, then finally asked, "Your eldest brother made two consecutive mistakes with the company's luggage management this year. Your second brother's management skills are mediocre, and your third brother is obsessed with racing and has no interest in his career. What about you? Are you interested?"

Xi Qingqing pursed her lips and then smiled broadly, "It would be a lie to say I didn't mean it. We've been friends for so many years, I won't lie to you."

"Then you might as well tell your mother a little bit, she will understand that if you can get the position, Su Tunan is the best fit for you."

Xi Qingqing was stunned for a moment, then chuckled, "Yan Yan, you really are..."

Fu Ziyan raised her eyebrows.

"As expected of Fu Sheng's successor."

Be calm enough to weigh the pros and cons of love.

Fu Ziyan smiled and said, "It's not easy to be confused by the situation. Besides, you've been in love for almost six years. I don't believe you can't think of it. You just don't want to think about it."

"You're right," Xi Qingqing chuckled. She actually realized it in her heart, but she just didn't want to say it out loud, as if saying it out loud would tarnish her and Su Tunan's love.

"Thank you for your guidance, Miss. But I still have to think about whether to tell Mommy about my decision."

Fu Ziyan understood her concerns and said, "I'm always here if you need me."

"Good sister!" Xi Qingqing smiled brightly, sweeping away the gloom. "I must have fun with you today."

Fu Ziyan chuckled and pointed at the desk in front of her. "Before playing, you should finish reading the pile of documents first."

She didn't say it, but her face showed her meaning. After reading these documents, there was no time to play anymore.

Xi Qingqing pursed her lips, a look of disbelief still on her face. "Who would have thought that the embroidery silk we started back then would actually be able to go on the market."

Fu Ziyan agreed. "It's all thanks to Sister Yiran's amazing ability. We left the company alone, and thanks to her hard work, we were able to go public in just a few years. It would have been fine if we had nothing to do before, but at this critical moment, with Sister Yiran on the front lines, we have to keep the rear stable."

"I finally understand what it means to be in pain and happy at the same time," Xi Qingqing sighed and raised his eyebrows. "But after thinking about the listing, I think I can handle it again."

Fu Ziyan took the first seat and began to look through the documents. "For that happiness, let's get started!"

"Come on, your value will skyrocket depending on this wave."

Xi Qingqing is full of fighting spirit.

The two sat opposite each other, looking through documents and discussing related work content. The office was brightly lit, and occasionally the sound of employees from other departments talking about work could be heard outside.

Full of energy.

Just like the summer sunshine.

When the sun set and the lights came on, the two stopped writing, looked up, and smiled at each other.

Fu Ziyan looked at her and asked, "Are we still going to that restaurant?"

She was referring to the place she had chosen for dinners with friends at a restaurant in Kowloon since she was fifteen.

Because Xiu Luo initially operated with only one store in Kowloon, Fu Ziyan and her friends ran the business as a joke, and since the store was nearby, they simply opened the company in this building.

After Huo Yiran acquired shares and took over Xiu Luo, he was overwhelmed with trivial matters and had no time to change the office building.

So even though it is planning to go public, Xiu Luo's headquarters office is still located in a commercial building in Kowloon, not too far from the restaurant in Kowloon.

Xi Qingqing chuckled and took Fu Ziyan's arm, "Okay, the food there is really good. It seems you really like it."

"I feel that her food has a down-to-earth feel, which is different from the restaurants we usually eat in."

Xi Qingqing looked at her, "Are you sure it's not because of the feeling you get from that shop in Kowloon, with all sorts of people coming and going?"

Fu Ziyan glanced at her lightly without responding, and directly pulled her towards her new yellow sports car.

"Wow, Yanyan, your car is so cool. It makes me drool with envy." Xi Qingqing didn't get in the car directly. Instead, he walked around the sports car and marveled at it.

Fu Ziyan raised her lips, her voice still filled with joy, "That's right, I've been waiting for two years, and finally I can drive it."

This sports car is the Lamborghini Countach LP500 that Fu Mingzhang promised to customize for her when she ran away from home and returned to the old house to tell her grandfather about her uncle's recent situation.

In fact, the car was customized and shipped to Hong Kong in the first half of the year, but she was not yet 17 years old at that time, and her father kept the car keys and did not allow her to drive on the road. It was not until her 17th birthday last week that her father gave her the car keys.

"Don't say it, your wait is totally worth it. When Xiu Luo comes on the market, I'm going to order one too!"

"Okay, first time makes perfect. If I do it twice more, maybe the brand will officially start selling it on the production line."

Fu Ziyan and Xi Qingqing chatted and laughed as they started their sports car and drove towards Li's Restaurant.

The roar of the sports car, its bright yellow color and smooth body lines, became a beautiful landscape on the street where the sunset was about to set, and pedestrians stopped to sigh.

"That car was really beautiful!"

"How could it not be beautiful? From the wheels on, it smells like money."

A lucky stock market tycoon who happened to be passing by exclaimed, "What a beautiful car! It's a pity I've never seen it in a dealership, otherwise I would buy one too!"

Another wealthy young man who was at odds with him scoffed, "You're the only one who wants to buy one? That was a concept car from the 1971 Geneva Motor Show, and it hasn't even officially gone on sale yet. If Miss Fu has one, she must have specially contacted the brand headquarters to customize it. You're dreaming of having one customized!"

"No matter how much you envy me for my good luck, you have to admit that I am truly rich, while you are just a wealthy man with nothing in your pocket."

"you!"

"..."

Fu Ziyan didn't know that she had just been driving her beloved car around the street, but this had become the fuse for a big fight between the already feuding stock market rookie and the rich playboy, indirectly leading to an increase in the workload of the police station tonight.

But none of this matters. What matters is that they have arrived at Li's Restaurant.

Taste the dishes that are tainted with the flavor of everyday life.

"Hmm, it's really delicious! It's a pity that I can't eat such delicious food every day." Feeling the taste buds soothed by the delicious food, Fu Ziyan narrowed her beautiful eyes with pleasure.

Xi Qingqing teased, "That's right. Our eldest daughter has had smooth sailing since she was young. She has always had everything she wanted. This chef from Li Ji is a rare gift you can only ask for but can't get."

Fu Ziyan took a tissue and looked at her with disgust.

"You're talking as if I can't get your love."

"Well, you just can't get the delicious food." Xi Qingqing said happily.

"With the Fu family's capabilities, if you really want to invite this chef home, there are many ways, but you still took a step back. Oh, I remember that the chef here is also very beautiful," Xi Qingqing raised an eyebrow and joked, "Is this considered to be a gentle and considerate attitude towards women?"

Fu Ziyan used a fork to poke a large piece of watermelon and stuffed it into Xi Qingqing's mouth. "What do you mean by 'cherishing women'? You really need to re-study your Chinese. I'm clearly cherishing talent."

"Besides, not many girls can persevere in pursuing their dreams. I've lost something in one place but gained something in another."

Xi Qingqing chewed for a long time, finally swallowing the big piece of watermelon, and then he clapped his hands and agreed, "Yes, yes, our eldest lady loves talents and cherishes the weak, and has the virtue of helping others achieve their goals."

Fu Ziyan snorted lightly and looked at her quietly. With their many years of sisterhood, she was sure that there would be a sequel to Xi Qingqing's words.

"So, when Xiu Luo is successfully launched, take me with you when you go to Europe," Xi Qingqing said, clasping his hands together in a gesture of begging, "I'm really curious about your big pink plane. Take me with you on your maiden flight~"

Fu Ziyan’s 17th birthday gift was a luxury private jet that could carry nearly 50 passengers. When Fu Qiyuan customized it, he specifically requested a unique appearance.

Since the plane is given as a birthday gift, it will naturally be parked at Kai Tak Airport.

Fu Ziyan was taken to see the plane by her father on her birthday. It is no exaggeration to say that the plane really hit her aesthetic point. It was simply the private jet of her dreams.

The pink word "Selene" is printed on the fuselage of the aircraft. The overall design does not adopt an exaggerated all-pink design, but is simply outlined with pink lines, just like a pink ribbon wrapped around the aircraft.

The media is extremely sensitive to news, and the sudden appearance of a custom-painted private jet at Kai Tak Airport was a big deal, so how could it go unnoticed? Naturally, it was reported the next day.

Although Fu Qiyuan has considerable influence in the media, he did not allow anyone to stop the media from reporting on the matter because it was not a bad thing.

So, the day after Fu Ziyan’s 17th birthday, the whole of Hong Kong was filled with envy again.

The most envious voices come from the rich and powerful young men and their daughters.

The most common response was, "I knew it! I guessed it when Miss Fu's 10th birthday gift was a luxury yacht. Look, the private jet is finally here! I'm so envious~"

The envy in his tone was so full that it seemed to overflow the screen.

Let’s get back to the present moment.

Fu Ziyan looked at Xi Qingqing's playful appearance and smiled, "You've already said that I have the virtue of helping others to achieve their goals. If I refuse, won't your praise be in vain? After the successful listing, we, the shareholders of Xiu Luo, can travel around Europe together. Of course, if no one else is available, forget it, we can just go on a trip with just the two of us."

Xi Qingqing clapped her hands happily, "Oh, Yanyan, you're so kind! I hope our embroidered silk can be successfully launched soon."

The two of them walked out of the private room and downstairs, chatting and laughing. Suddenly, a hint of surprise flashed in Fu Ziyan's eyes.

Turning around, he apologized and said, "Qingqing, I suddenly remembered something and can't take you home."

Xi Qingqing has always been very sensible. He smiled when he heard this and said, "It's okay. I have bodyguards with me. You go ahead and do your thing. If you are not free tomorrow, I will come to the company to handle things myself."

Fu Ziyan nodded. "Okay, you can handle the company matters yourself tomorrow. I don't know if you will be free. Thank you for your hard work."

"No big deal," Xi Qingqing waved his hand, "I'm leaving now. It's getting late, so please be careful."

Fu Ziyan watched her leave with a smile, then raised her hand to instruct the bodyguard and returned to the box.

Within two minutes, someone came into the box.

Wheat-colored skin, thin lips, and phoenix eyes.

It was my cousin Li Zitao whom I had known for two years.
