Chapter 2142 Never expected
After Chu Heng followed Irving to the living room of the mansion and sat for a while, the friend he invited from the Financial Administration Bureau, Kunna Reed, came .
After being notified by the housekeeper, the two people hurried out to greet them.
Quenna Reed is a white woman in her fifties, with brown hair, tall and thin, wearing a traditional British-style patterned suit, which almost covers her body. The place is covered tightly and seems a bit conservative.
Chu Heng looked at it a few times and confirmed that it was not a lesbian. He smiled slightly and said that he could handle it.
"Let me see who is here, haha, how are you doing? Kunna." Owen walked forward enthusiastically and hugged the other person gently.
"It's still the same, but it's you. I've heard a lot of tidbits about you this time." Kunna let go of him with a smile, and glanced at Chu Heng aside, her eyes suddenly brightened. All of a sudden, he was a little handsome.
Just like adult men like young and beautiful girls no matter how old they are, women also like young handsome guys.
"It's just a scandal, don't worry about it." Owen ignored the topic lightly, then pulled Chu Heng over and introduced them to them.
"Let me introduce to you. This is Kunna Reed, a very good friend of mine. This is Heng Chu, who is also a good friend of mine and my godson. Father.”
"Oh? It turns out he is the father of our little cute Yu." Kunna raised her eyebrows. Owen sometimes brought Han Yu to some friends' gatherings. She had met him a few times and she liked the little guy very much.
"It's an honor to meet you, Ms. Reed." Chu Heng, who knew at first sight that this woman should be a traditional woman, followed the British tradition, bowed like a gentleman, and stretched out his hand to hold Kun. He took Na's palm and kissed her gently. He behaved appropriately and rigorously. Even an old-school gentleman like Owen could not find any fault.
Kunna looked down at him, feeling the fleeting warmth, her heart secretly stopped for a beat, and she forgot to return the gift for a moment.
Owen on the side pursed his lips jealously and teased: "Oh, Kunna, you are very rude, you know?"
"Sorry." Kunna is already a fifty-year-old aunt. Na's cheeks immediately showed two blushes like a girl, and she bowed apologetically: "I'm sorry, Mr. Chu, I'm too tired today, and I was a little dazed just now."
"Then it's me who should apologize. I didn't notice how tired you were. Please come inside. Hot tea and snacks are prepared in the room. You can have a good rest." Chu Heng said with a smile.
“You are such a considerate gentleman.”
“Your compliment is the greatest recognition I have received so far.”
Chu Heng bowed again , put one hand behind his back, and pointed the other hand toward the house.
“Thank you.”
Kunna was coaxed to smile and walked into the house with him with graceful steps.
Irving was left hanging in place.
No!
This is my house!
He stared at the two people speechlessly, then quickly caught up with them, followed them into the house and came to the living room.
Immediately, Chu Heng grabbed the bone china teapot on the table and poured three cups of black tea. He also introduced the pastries on the table and said: "I just tasted this butter shortbread and Welsh cake. They are very good. I will give you my best wishes." Recommended."
"It's really good."
"I heard it from Owen before. Sir, are you from Birmingham?"
"Yes, we were born and grew up there together, and we didn't separate until we went to London for college."
"I have been to Birmingham. I like the weather there." "Really? Have you been to Cannon Mountain Park?"
“Of course, I also played bowling there.”
“You also like bowling?”
“It seems you like it too? How about playing bowling together if you have a chance? "
The two of them got together and had a lively chat. Irving tried to join in several times but failed. If he couldn't afford to offend anyone, he would have wanted to overturn the table.
Fortunately, he was not left alone for too long. After the two chatted for a while, dinner was ready, and the three of them came out of the living room and went to the restaurant.
After sitting down, Owen, who had not had a chance to say a few words before, felt that he needed to remind the two of them whose house they were in. He personally picked up the decanter, poured wine for the two of them, and introduced: "This is a Mouton from 1964. It was a gift from a very important friend on my birthday. I have always treasured it. You have to drink, you are in for a treat today.”
“Thank you, Owen.” Kunna and he were old friends and had slept with each other when they were young. Naturally, they were not polite. After touching each other, she picked up the wine glasses. After taking a small sip and tasting the product, he took the initiative to open up the topic with Chu Heng: "Chu, I heard Owen say that he has a friend who wants to I want to open a bank, right?"
"Yes, it's me." Chu Heng swallowed the red wine in his mouth and said with a smile: "I asked Owen to invite you here today, just to learn about the current opening. What conditions does the bank have?”
“There are many conditions that need to be met. First, you must submit an application. , this needs to go through a series of complex reviews to pass. Of course, with our relationship, this is not difficult, but it will be more complicated and difficult later. Capital requirements are the most basic, and shareholders must also be Investigate, establish risk management framework and compliance system..."
After Kunna briefly talked to him, she took the initiative to give him an idea: "Applying for a license to open a bank by yourself is too time-consuming and labor-intensive, so I have a good suggestion. You might as well acquire a bank. It just so happens that a bank is going through the process recently. bankruptcy process , if you want, I can help you get it."
"Oh?" Chu Heng raised his eyebrows and asked in concern: "Can you tell me in detail?"
“Of course no problem.”
Kunna ignored Owen's indifferent eyes and said positively: "That bank is called Ming Fai. It is a commercial bank opened by a local businessman on Hong Kong Island. It currently has five branches on Hong Kong Island.
Previous For a while, its major shareholder failed to invest, and the bank suffered a run and had to declare bankruptcy. If you are willing to take over, I can help you deal with the Hong Kong government and possible competitors, but you still need to figure out the specific price yourself. Talk.”
"Hmm..."
Chu Heng didn't dare to agree directly. It was because this old foreign woman was too proactive and active. She didn't even mention the benefits and fees. He was worried that there was a trap in this, so After pondering for a moment, he raised his glass and said, "First of all, I have to thank Thank you, Kunna, and I am very moved by your proposal, but I need to go back to the company to discuss such a big matter. Can you give me some time? I will reply to you soon."
"I can delay you for up to five days." Kunna thought for a while and said.
"Thank you, you are such a warm-hearted lady." Chu Heng smiled and handed the wine glass up, touched her, and tried to ask: "Then how much hard work does it cost you? "
"What are you talking about? We are friends, right? There is no need for this. I am willing to help you out of friendship. If you say this again, I will be angry. It's a stain on our friendship!" Kunna glared at him dissatisfied.
"Sorry, Kunna, I thought too much. I apologize to you."
"It won't happen again."
"Okay."
The look on Chu Heng's face when he saw her Not pretending to be fake, he looked at Owen in surprise.
Didn’t you say that she is greedy for money?
Owen deadpanned.
I didn’t know she was so horny, she has never been like this to me!
