Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 2018 are all generous gifts
A welcome sign was placed at the entrance of a certain seafood restaurant, with the words "Happy Housewarming of He Zhongfu" written on it.

This day is the time for the Zhong family to hold a housewarming banquet. Because everyone has to work, the time for the banquet has been changed to [-]:[-] p.m., so that everyone can have enough time to come to the banquet.

Zhong Chuhong went home to freshen up after filming today's "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" scene, and then rushed to the scene.

It stands to reason that everyone should be extremely busy at the Zhong family's housewarming banquet, but Zhong Chuhong's family seemed very leisurely, sitting inside drinking tea and chatting all the time.

After all, with a capable future son-in-law helping out, they don't need to move at all, and everything can be handed over to others.

The biggest task of Zhong's family today is to welcome guests, and then just have a good meal.

"when are you coming over?"

Zhong Chuhong looked at the time and found that it was already 06:30, but Lin Daoqiu was nowhere to be seen. She didn't want Lin Daoqiu to arrive too late.

"I'm on my way home. I'll go there after I've changed my clothes. Don't worry."

Lin Daoqiu was still filming on the set of "Tomb Raider" just now, because there was a housewarming party for the Zhong family today, so he left work early for himself.

Before leaving, Brigitte Lin smiled at him intentionally or unintentionally, making Lin Daoqiu's scalp numb.

Although Brigitte Lin would not be there, she still prepared a gift for Lin Daoqiu to take with her.

Looking at the box Brigitte Lin gave her, it doesn't look big, but the packaging is very exquisite.

Lin Daoqiu didn't know what was inside, but he really wanted to open the box now to see what was inside.

If it's something that doesn't have a good meaning, such as giving a clock, then I can take the opportunity to change it.

But think about it carefully Brigitte Lin should not be so boring.

After hesitating for a long time, Lin Daoqiu finally opened the gift.

After opening the box, Lin Daoqiu closed the box silently, because there was a little golden dragon inside, and there was nothing special about it.

As long as it doesn't send any weird things, after all, what Lin Daoqiu is most afraid of now is a fire in the backyard.

It was almost seven o'clock in the evening when Lin Daoqiu changed his clothes and rushed to the hotel. At this time, the guests who came to congratulate him had already arrived at the scene one after another.

Before, Lin Daoqiu thought that only a dozen tables would be enough to open today, but what he didn't expect was that Lin Daoqiu went to the scene to see that the number of tables had been added to more than 20 tables, and people kept coming outside.

"what happened?"

Lin Daoqiu found Zhong Chuhong and asked quickly, but the other party also looked helpless.

"I don't know what's going on. Many relatives came to congratulate me, and the friends I invited brought some friends over. I couldn't stop them from letting them in."

Just as Lin Daoqiu and Zhong Chuhong were speaking, the group of seven from New Art City happened to appear.

Lin Daoqiu and Zhong Chuhong saw that they could only stop there and go up to greet each other.

"Congratulations to Ms. Zhong on her housewarming. A small gift is not enough to show respect."

Lin Daoqiu had already told them not to give red envelopes, so the people in New Art City really listened to his words.

However, although they didn't give any red envelopes, the seven of them together gave a big golden dragon worth 50 yuan.

"This……"

Zhong Chuhong was also dumbfounded when she saw this golden dragon, and she never thought about accepting generous gifts from others.

Moreover, Zhong Chuhong also knew very well that Xinyi City gave her such a heavy gift, probably more because of Lin Daoqiu's relationship.

Not knowing whether to accept this generous gift, Zhong Chuhong could only turn to Lin Daoqiu for help.

"You are the master today, thank you soon."

If everything was delivered to the door, it would be a shame to others if they didn't accept it, so Lin Daoqiu could only ask Zhong Chuhong to accept it first.

"Then...thank you all."

After Zhong Chuhong took over the golden dragon, he handed it over to the person next to him to put it away.

Seeing Zhong Chuhong accepting their golden dragon, all seven of them had happy smiles on their faces.

"Everyone go find a seat first."

Lin Daoqiu and Zhong Chuhong still had to welcome guests, so he asked the seven of them in New Art City to go in first and sit down.

After everyone in Xinyi City had left, Zhong Chuhong looked at Lin Daoqiu with an embarrassed face.

"If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have made such a big deal. I received a lot of expensive presents just for presents today."

Not only Zhong Chuhong, but even Zhong's father and Zhong's mother were shocked after seeing so many generous gifts.

"It's okay, it's just the way of the world. When the time comes, just find a chance and return it."

What Lin Daoqiu thinks is that since everything has been done, it will be useless to think so much now, and such things can still be avoided in the future.

"Miss Zhong, congratulations."

Not long after the people from New Art City left, the crew of "Ghost Blowing Out the Lantern" and people from Hong's class also arrived at the scene.

Basically for these guys, if they don't give red envelopes, they don't know what to give.

So everyone made a calculation and decided to pool their money to buy a gold ornament, but they collided with the ideas of the people in New Art City.

Fortunately, the Chinese world has an unusual love for gold. Compared with red envelopes, they still prefer to see such shiny things.

"Everyone is too polite, I am really sorry to let you spend money."

This time, Zhong Chuhong didn't need Lin Daoqiu to say anything, and directly took the golden dragon handed over by Sammo Hung.

"Where Miss Zhong said, a small meaning is not a respect, and everyone should give some gifts after working together for so long."

Sammo Hung didn't know that the people from New Art City also gave away the golden dragon, if they knew it would be a little embarrassing.

"Brother Hong is the big brother in Xiangjiang film industry, you really have to accept this gift."

Hundreds of thousands are nothing to Sammo Hung. It is not a problem to buy dozens of them casually with the money he has earned in the past few years.

"Miss Zhong, this antique vase is a good thing. According to the seller, it's from the Qianlong period. It's very rare to find. That's why Uncle Jiu and I specially bought it for you as a decoration at home."

I don't know if it was because of the filming of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", so Zhong Fa suddenly thought of giving an antique.

But it is really unknown whether this is a vase from the Qianlong period.

However, Lin Daoqiu remembered that if the vases used by the emperors of the Qing Dynasty were real, the auction price at Sotheby's would be at least hundreds of millions.

After a few years, Zhong Fa remembered that he had given Zhong Chuhong an antique vase from the Qianlong period, and wondered if he would regret not keeping it.

Should I start searching for those things now, and after a few decades, any one of them can be photographed for hundreds of millions?
"Thank you, Brother Zhong. The family is short of such decorations. You are interested."

Zhong Chuhong didn't care too much about whether this vase was from the Qianlong period, she just thought it was pretty, and it would look beautiful if placed at home, so she happily took it.
