Wall Street Legend

Chapter 291 It’s a misunderstanding (34)

The housekeeper may have made a mistake.

When Ye Dongqing came in, she even saw roses, the lights were adjusted to a slightly yellowish color, and the ground was originally covered with a delicate red carpet. Some people probably believed it when they said it was a wedding scene.

Fresh roses were placed in a vase. The vase is a modern work of art and has nothing to do with the word antique. Ye Dongqing has just started to get involved in the collecting industry. She is willing to spend money to build buildings and build botanical gardens, but she is still reluctant to invest too much money. Go buy antiques. After all, those things are circulating in the market. If you have money, you can buy them. For the time being, making money is more important.

After seeing the scene in front of him, he was stunned and couldn't laugh or cry. After handing the briefcase to the middle-aged housekeeper from Hampton Court Palace in England, he told him: "This arrangement is too deliberate. It's just a friend coming over for dinner. Let's remove it now." It can be placed elsewhere.”

This is the house he lives in. Members of the Morgan family also lived there back then. Many traces have been erased by time. The house is still the same house. According to the statement given by the engineer during the renovation, it will probably not matter in another hundred years. Well, now the interior is decorated very delicately, the floor at the entrance is paved with golden tiles, and the stair railings are made of golden camphor wood from Southeast Asia. It can't be said to be very luxurious, but at least it looks pretty good in style.

The butler understood what he had done wrong. He looked surprised and told: "But the Hollywood actress, Miss Angelina Jolie, has arrived. She just saw these flowers, and now she is admiring the two white crocodiles and the Where are the hippos?"

That's right, Ye Dongqing told the designer that she wanted to raise some animals, and later dug a pond behind the house, where two one-meter-long albino crocodiles were kept, and there were also a group of hippos, both large and small. , six in total, and an employee from the zoo was specially hired to raise them.

"See? Well, it's okay Mr. McAvoy, it's just a misunderstanding."

"I'm very, very sorry. I should have inquired more clearly on the phone just now. Then the desserts will probably have to be rearranged. I'll ask the chef to arrange them now."

Mr. McAvoy is elegant. He has taken care of almost everyone in the British royal family. It can only be said that he is still a human being after all. With a salary of two and a half times, he was poached from Hampton Court Palace and came all the way to New York. Bian is responsible for Ye Dongqing's food and daily life.

I don’t know why even the desserts after the meal had to be changed, but Ye Dongqing didn’t ask. When he came to the living room on the second floor, he saw Angelina standing by the window. She just pretended that there was no misunderstanding and said calmly: "I'm sorry. There was a bit of a jam in mid-air and it took a while for my helicopter to get back."

"Are you sure helicopters will also jam... in the air? It doesn't matter. I like that fat hippopotamus. It looks very small."

Ye Dongqing came to the window and saw the little hippo and told him: "It was only three months old. I didn't want the family to be separated, so I bought them all back. Did you know that hippos can live for thirty or forty years?" ?If nothing happens, it will turn into an old hippopotamus when I am sixty years old. I like to raise animals with a longer lifespan."

"You don't live long enough. I adopted an orphan from Cambodia and named him Maddox."

Angelina looked at him and said with the corners of her mouth raised: "It's weird, isn't it? I never thought about having children when I was your age, but Maddox helped me get out of a difficult time. I love being a mother. .”

When he heard this sentence, Ye Dongqing was already sure that he had indeed thought wrong before, and tonight was just a dinner.

No one likes to talk about their children on a date. Angelina took the initiative to mention it, which reminded Ye Dongqing of many things. She calmly shrugged and said, "If it's because of those roses or the housekeeper's remarks that made you think... Misunderstanding, so you are planning to scare me with the child, so I can only say that you succeeded. My housekeeper may have misunderstood something. After all, it is a new house. He may have thought that the hostess was coming over for dinner tonight, so he was extra attentive. some."

It's not a big deal. Saying this awkwardness makes both of you feel more relaxed.

"That's good. There's a big age gap between us. I don't want negative news about me being greedy for money to spread."

"Just wealth? Maybe they will say it's because of my appearance. The last time I met Leonardo, that guy was no more handsome than me."

It was just a joke, but Ye Dongqing knew something about it. When Leonardo was at his peak, he was so hot that he could make girls scream when he walked on the street. Just looking at him could make him excited for a long time. , even though he is not as handsome as before, his appearance is still eye-catching.

Amused by him, Angelina told me: "Just think you are right, you won, show me your house? I like this style very much, the agent told me it has a fascinating history, He has hosted many parties that rocked New York.”

"Really, I only know that the Morgan family lived in this room at the time. Considering the influence of the Morgan consortium at the beginning of the last century, it is normal to hold high-end parties.

Now I regret not purchasing oil paintings, sculptures, etc. I can accompany you to look around, but there are not many eye-catching places. After all, you have already seen crocodiles and hippos. The most satisfying place for me is the garden and horse farm. There are also cattle, sheep and wild elk living on the island. When I come back in a few years, everything will be different. I hope to be like my friend Richard Rockefeller. , the home is filled with hundreds of fine antiques that tell a story. "

It was just a more luxurious and larger residence, and there really wasn't much to see. After wandering around for a while, they came to the restaurant to have dinner. The table was a bit big, and the two of them sat face to face with a distance of about four people in between. About meters.

This is just a small dining table. There is a banquet hall next to it. There is a huge old oak dining table with a history of a hundred years. It is about ten meters long and can accommodate thirty people dining at the same time.

From Hollywood gossips to interesting anecdotes from the filming of TV, there is no shortage of topics to talk about. The chef grilled two pieces of Kobe beef rib-eye until medium-done. After putting them on the plate and serving them, he specially introduced them. , it feels like eating in a high-end restaurant, because it is the best beef, and it tastes special.

In Ye Dongqing's opinion, the best snowflake steak is when it is not cooked. The surface texture is like a work of art, but it cannot be eaten raw. It looks the same after grilling.

Angelina is indeed a smart woman. She knows what she wants. She is different from those young girls who are easily impulsive. As a result, Ye Dongqing has an inexplicable feeling when chatting, as if she is having dinner with a sister-like character. , there is no ambiguity at all...
