Chapter 268 Happy Valley
Of course, sometimes the ideal is full and the reality is the backbone.
Chen Yi is clear about this.
It is too early to say what will happen in the end.
The size of Xiangjiang is far from comparable to that of the United States. It is not on the same level at all. It is even worse than the entire Wall Street. It is not ordinary to be ahead of companies such as Microsoft and Apple.
The only advantage is probably the little bit of foresight in his mind. In later generations, we pay attention to overtaking on curves. Now that he is on a straight road, whether he can overtake depends entirely on the strength of the process.
However, opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared. No matter whether things go against their wishes or are satisfactory in the end, there is always nothing wrong with preparing in advance from now on.
Think about how many years Huawei has held back its big moves in order to catch up with the US emperor, and finally made a comeback in the 5G field.
This shows how important it is to prepare well in advance.
"Aren't you in class now? Why are you all here?"
"Just finished class." Li Wenhui stepped forward and asked, "What did you talk to the principal just now? Are you going back to school?"
"Press" Chen Yi nodded, and then said: "By the way, is Teacher Wen at school? I heard from the principal that my previous withdrawal application was due to Teacher Wen helping to keep my student status."
Li Wenhui: "Teacher Wen is not at school. It seems that he has gone to England to attend an academic exchange meeting. He will not be back until next week."
"That's all right." Chen Yi heard that his teacher was not at school, so he didn't say anything else. He turned to look at the two girls, Li Weiya and He Xiumei, and said with a smile, "Why are you two here?"
Because of the misunderstanding with the two women before, Chen Yi was often warned privately by Li Wenhui because of this. He originally thought that there would be a gap in the relationship between the three women, but now it seems that he has not been affected.
He Xiumei raised her eyebrows, "What do you mean?"
"Ahem" Without waiting for Chen Yi to speak, Li Wenhui quickly said, "Xiao Yi, the three of us don't have classes this afternoon, how about you accompany us to ride a horse in Happy Valley?"
"Go horseback riding again" Chen Yi heard the word "horseback riding", and his face suddenly turned slightly bitter.
As far as the sport of horse riding is concerned, Chen Yi rejects it from the bottom of his heart. He personally doesn't like horse riding very much. Not to mention the danger, many embarrassing things happened as a beginner, which made him feel very embarrassed.
Both in his previous life and Chen Yi's previous life, he was very unfamiliar with horse riding. Although Chen Yi's family was rich in his previous life, they were not particularly interested in the sports that the rich loved.
In the final analysis, the daily life of the charterer is to collect rent for nothing, stroll around, travel and so on.
However, when you go to the country, you do as the Romans do. Although Chen Yi is not very fond of horse riding, he can't stand the kindness of the people around him.
In this era, the biggest hobby of Xiangjiang people is gambling^money.
Horse racing betting, in Xiangjiang and Haojiang, is almost an activity that everyone participates in. Xiangjiang horse racing has a history of more than 100 years. As early as the opening of the port, the British brought horse racing culture over.
From the initial aristocratic movement, it gradually evolved into an activity involving the participation of the whole people because of the birth of gambling.
How influential is the horse racing culture in Xiangjiang? Later, when China and Britain began to negotiate the future of Xiangjiang, Deng Gong used a sentence "the horse runs as usual, and the dance continues to dance" to express his commitment to the unchanged lifestyle of Xiangjiang people.
Under such circumstances, horseback riding, an aristocratic sport, is naturally very popular among the upper class. A lady from a big family like Li Wenhui has been trained by her family almost since she was a child. The boss is still fine.
Although he has been to the horse race several times, and he has ridden the middle horses, but so far, he is still a novice, and injuries are commonplace in the process of riding.
Of course, it’s okay to be injured, the main reason is that the injured place is embarrassing, especially after dismounting, Li Wenhui doesn’t stare at his legs, which makes Boss Chen quite conflicted.
Contradictions belong to conflicts, but you still have to learn.
Besides, men often ride horses, which helps little brothers to exercise.
In addition to his girlfriend Li Wenhui, he also has two women who are like wolves and tigers in the company. The pressure is not small on weekdays. If he is not young and strong enough to bear it, his unrestrained temperament may cause his health to be broken. It's already going to collapse.
After taking Li Wenhui and the three daughters to have lunch outside the school, Chen Yi and his party rushed towards Happy Valley in a mighty manner.
Happy Valley is the only racecourse in Xiangjiang today. Everyone watches races on weekdays, and rich people go to Happy Valley. As for the famous Sha Tin Racecourse, it will take a few years to come out.
Chen Yi just came out after changing his clothes when he met Huo Zhenting.
"Brother Huo, you are playing here too!"
Huo Zhenting was a little surprised to see Chen Yi appearing here, "It's you, Xiao Yi, why are you free to play today?"
As he spoke, Huo Zhenting looked around and found no one else, so he asked again, "Are you alone?"
Chen Yidao: "Wen Hui is also here, changing clothes inside."
Huo Zhenting nodded, and then joked: "I said, why do you come out to play, the relationship is to accompany your girlfriend."
Since Chen Yi visited Huo's house last time, Huo Zhenting has been looking for opportunities to get in touch with Chen Yi. Unfortunately, Chen Yi is a dead house, and he is not very interested in parties and other activities.
Even if someone invites you, you can push it as long as you can.
Regarding this, Huo Zhenting has no choice but to come to the door forcefully. As Daheng Huo's eldest son, he hasn't dropped that much yet.
However, since we met today, Huo Zhenting will not leave no matter what, so we should talk more and get acquainted casually.
Chatting with Chen Yi, Li Wenhui and the three daughters soon changed their clothes and came out.
Seeing that Huo Zhenting is also here, He Xiumei couldn't help saying: "Hey, Brother Zhenting, why are you here?"
Huo Zhenting said with a smile: "The one who accompanied me came here. He was talking to people. I just came here for a couple of laps when I have nothing to do. Did you guys have no class today? Why did you all run out to play?"
"There is no class in the afternoon, so let's come here to play for a while." After speaking, He Xiumei suddenly thought of something, and couldn't help asking cautiously: "Is my uncle Jiu here?"
"That's not true," Huo Zhenting shook his head.
"That's good." He Xiumei couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief when she heard that her uncle was not there. It could be seen that she was a little afraid of her uncle.
Regarding He Xiumei's reaction, Huo Zhenting smiled and said nothing.
