Chapter 27 Your melon seed shells fell on my shoes
"Hao'er, when you go to the dinner with your dad, you must remember to supervise your dad and don't let him drink too much. His health is not as good as before. Drinking too much is harmful to his health. We have to be careful." Mother Lin gently straightened the collar of Father Lin while carefully admonishing Lin Haoran who was sitting on the sofa next to her.

"Don't worry, Mommy, I will keep a close eye on Daddy and not let him drink too much." Lin Haoran replied with a smile.

At this time, he had changed into a more refined and well-fitting suit, as if he had instantly transformed from a young boy into an elegant young talent, exuding a mature and steady charm.

His already handsome face, against the backdrop of this suit, looks even more heroic and compelling, making people unable to take their eyes off him.

Lin Wanan did not refute out loud, he understood that his wife's intention was out of deep concern and love for him.

After returning from a social event a few nights ago, Lin Wanan had to go to the hospital again due to a sudden increase in blood pressure. The headache made him miserable. Even though he had sought medical treatment many times before, the symptoms were mostly only relieved temporarily but difficult to cure.

However, there are always some social events in life that Lin Wanan cannot avoid. Although he may not be willing in his heart, he has to participate in them for various considerations.

Lin Haoran knows how hard his father has worked, so his current priority is to go all out and strive to become the successor of Wan'an Group as soon as possible so that his father can retire from the position of chairman with peace of mind and enjoy a quiet and comfortable life in his later years.

As far as I can remember, he moved out of home early after his eldest brother Lin Hao Ning got married and started his own family.

Therefore, whenever there was a social event to attend, as long as Lin Haoran was at home, Lin Wanan was always happy to take him along.

This arrangement not only deepened the emotional communication between father and son, but also allowed Lin Haoran to be exposed to all levels of society at an earlier age.

Following his father Lin Wanan into the back seat of the Rolls-Royce, Lin Haoran couldn't help but sigh that the riding comfort provided by this Rolls-Royce is indeed far superior to his own Mercedes-Benz. No wonder it has become the favorite of so many wealthy people.

Before leaving, Lin Haoran specifically told the two brothers Li Weiguo and Li Weidong to stay in the villa and not to follow, because their father's driver also served as a bodyguard and was extremely powerful. The abilities he had demonstrated many times in the past made Lin Haoran feel deeply trusted and were enough to ensure the safety of him and his sons.

"Dad, where are we going this time?" Lin Haoran sat in the spacious and comfortable back seat of the Rolls-Royce, turned his head and asked his father with curiosity.

"This time we are going to the Joy Lai Restaurant in Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon. The restaurant has an elegant environment and delicious dishes. It is also quite famous in the Tsim Sha Tsui area. You have been there before, so you should still remember it." The father replied with a smile.

Lin Haoran nodded. From his memory, he knew that he had indeed gone to this restaurant with his father for social events many times.

Along the way, Lin Haoran gradually learned that all the shareholders behind the film project that his father participated in investing in were not insiders in the industry. They seemed to be participating in this insignificant investment with a relaxed and playful mentality.

The car slowly drove out of the quiet Deep Water Bay villa area, then wound its way up the winding mountain road, passed through a lush forest, and arrived at the bustling street.

The vehicle weaved through traffic and after driving for about half an hour, it finally stopped steadily in front of the Xiyuelai Restaurant.

Walk into the restaurant and step into the reserved hall.

The hall has been given a new look, with an eye-catching movie celebration party banner hanging high above, indicating that tonight will be a unique celebration.

Flowers and balloons are placed in every corner.

At this moment, many people have come to the restaurant hall where a celebratory banquet will be held.

However, Lin Haoran basically didn't recognize any of them.

"Boss Lin, you are finally here. We have been waiting for so long!"

"Mr. Lin, please come this way. Let's take advantage of this rare opportunity to discuss cooperation in depth."

……

As Lin Wanan walked in, many eyes in the hall focused on him. Although he was not a business tycoon, in the fertile commercial land of Hong Kong, Lin Wanan's name was still well-known and had a reputation and influence that could not be ignored. Obviously, many people present, whether in terms of social status or economic strength, felt that they were slightly inferior to Lin Wanan. His arrival undoubtedly added some weight and expectations to this party.

"Mr. Yang, Mr. Zheng, Mr. Li, long time no see. How are you all doing?" Lin Wan'an smiled and shook hands with them one by one. His calmness and ease clearly showed that he was very familiar with such business entertainment.

"I would like to take this opportunity to introduce to you all my son, Lin Haoran. Hao'er, come here and say hello to all the uncles." Lin Wanan said as he led Lin Haoran to the front and let his son appear in front of the business seniors.

"Hello Uncle Yang, I've long heard of your name; Hello Uncle Zheng, nice to meet you; Hello Uncle Li, thank you for your care..." Lin Haoran bowed to them one by one, full of humility and politeness. Although he was just going through the motions, he seemed decent and generous.

Although these business people have made achievements in their respective fields, their status is obviously inferior to that of Lin Wanan.

Therefore, for Lin Haoran, in-depth communication with them might not be a top priority, so after saying hello, he followed his father quietly without saying anything.

However, this is exactly what many young people do. After all, the age gap is too big, and there will always be a generation gap in communication.

Lin Haoran had no interest in the topic they were talking about, so he decided to leave and find some desserts and snacks to relieve his boredom.

"Dad, I'm going to go over there and see if there are any delicious desserts. You guys continue chatting." He greeted his father politely, then lightly left the group of people who were talking.

As I recall, among the many stars of the 1970s, there were many who would become shining stars in the future, such as Chen Long, Sammo Hung, Chow Yun-fat, etc., but obviously they are not here.

These people who are not even considered to be in the film industry jointly made a movie, and not only did they not lose money, they even made a lot of money. It's a miracle.

The investment was not too high, so they naturally did not invite many big names.

He originally came here with great expectations, hoping to run into a few familiar stars, but after searching for a while, he couldn't help feeling a little bored.

So he simply walked to a table full of snacks, sat down, and leisurely started to eat melon seeds to pass the time.

"Hey, your melon seed shells fell on my shoes." Just then, a clear and pleasant female voice interrupted his thoughts.

Lin Haoran immediately realized his carelessness and hurriedly checked the melon seed shells in his hand. In fact, he had been carefully placing them on the edge of the table, waiting for the waiter to clean them up.

Apparently, it was an occasional carelessness that caused a few pieces of melon seed shells to accidentally slip off, and at that moment a young girl happened to pass by.

He quickly looked up and said apologetically, "I'm so sorry, I didn't notice it, it really wasn't intentional."

When their eyes met, Lin Haoran was stunned. The girl in front of him was someone he had never expected - Guan Jiahui, who was famous in later generations. At this moment, she was in her youth and as beautiful as a newly blooming flower, which was eye-catching.

"If a simple "I'm sorry" can solve the problem, then what do the police do?" Guan Jiahui's words were a bit playful and unruly.

It was completely beyond Lin Haoran's expectation that she would be so straightforward at this age.

The new book is being updated continuously, and we sincerely invite all readers to continue reading. This book focuses on business events, and occasionally inserts some stories about encounters with female celebrities in the entertainment industry as embellishments, aiming to bring readers a richer reading experience, while ensuring that these elements will not dominate the main story, so please rest assured.

In view of the unique historical background of 1978, there were indeed only a handful of brilliant female stars in the entertainment industry, so I finally chose Guan Meiren as the first female supporting role. I believe that her appearance can add a touch of color to this book.

Of course, in order to make the content of this book more colorful, readers are welcome to make suggestions in the book review area about female stars that may be added to the subsequent chapters. Each of your suggestions is my precious creative inspiration, and I will seriously consider it and incorporate it into the book as appropriate.
