It’s a little past five in the evening.
The three of them took two Rolls-Royce Cullinans and several business cars, arranged by the hotel’s concierge, to Ponza Island on Ro’s west coast.
Considering the three of them, in case soone leaves early, one car might be a hassle, so they spent an extra 1,000 Euros for an additional car.
No wonder they say all roads lead to Ro; a journey of nearly a hundred kiloters takes only about two hours with the convenient traffic around Ro.
Gu Bai pushed open the car door, gazing at the crystal-clear sea, the intoxicating scenery, and the leisurely atmosphere. The two-hour car ride was no longer sothing to complain about.
Led by Principal Wang, they registered at the central office near the Colosseum and took a shuttle specifically for guests, arriving directly at Ponza Island’s dock.
This is a private dock with strict security. Presumably, the party host gave prior instructions, so Principal Wang just said a few words to the security at the entrance and was let through.
Once inside, the party had already begun. The dock was already crowded with people. Besides the blond, blue-eyed Westerners, Gu Bai was surprised to see many Eastern faces as well. Most were models in various swimsuits and waiters carrying trays of drinks.
Several yachts were docked at the shore, crowded with people, as laughter floated continuously in the air.
"Let’s go, let’s greet my classmate first."
After inquiring with a waiter, Principal Wang turned to the two and said.
Upon eting the party host, Gu Bai didn’t feel like he was a conglorate heir, more like an overweight nerd from abroad.
He had brown hair, was about 1.7 ters tall, but definitely weighed more than 80 kilograms. His large belly stretched his expensive suit into an arc, and up close, his face was speckled with freckles.
Wes Rossi, upon seeing Principal Wang, imdiately let go of the bikini-clad model in his arms and walked over.
"Wang, long ti no see!"
"Long ti no see, Wes."
The two n warmly hugged each other.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Principal Wang introduced Gu Bai and Qin Fen to him.
Being in line to inherit a conglorate, Wes was certainly no fool. For the son of Hua Country’s richest man to introduce soone so formally, these two must not be ordinary people in Hua Country. He instantly embraced them warmly as well.
Sitting on a huge sofa, Principal Wang and Wes chatted, while Gu Bai and Qin Fen, unfamiliar with the crowd, seldom chid in, speaking quietly about the party and occasionally comnting on a passing attractive woman.
After a while, a white man dressed as a waiter whispered sothing in Wes’s ear, prompting Wes to stand up.
"Hey friends, the party is now officially starting. Let’s now enjoy the passion from our Italy.
This isn’t just any party. I’ve invited nurous world-class models and stars from the Italian film industry. I’m sure you can find your own share of n’s joy at this party."
Saying this, his freckled face hinted a smile at Gu Bai and the others, then he went to announce the start of the party.
After Wes left, Principal Wang also stood up, heading towards the center of the party, explaining to Gu Bai and Qin Fen as he walked, "Don’t be fooled by Wes’s ordinary looks; he’s a true Italian aristocrat. Rossi is one of Italy’s noble surnas.
Moreover, their family’s business spans across Italy. Although they don’t have any internationally renowned enterprises, their accumulated assets probably exceed 20 billion Euros. Unlike stock market assets, this is tangible physical property. Don’t be deceived by my father’s claim of having 30 billion dollars in assets. That’s fictional. If Wanda collapses, it’s all over. There’s a big difference between us and these European conglorates with centuries of accumulation."
Gu Bai listened to Principal Wang’s self-deprecating words without taking them seriously. Although what he said made sense, he doubted Wanda would collapse. Gu Bai could believe that Ah Li and Tencent might, but not Wanda.
The biggest difference between a physical industry and an internet industry is the number of jobs they provide. A giant in the physical industry like Wanda simply can’t topple over quickly.
Arriving at the party center,
Wes was announcing the start of the party in Italian, which Gu Bai couldn’t understand. So, he took a glass of champagne from a waiter’s tray, passing the ti idly.
Suddenly, after a round of applause, everyone, both n and won, turned their eyes toward Gu Bai and the others. anwhile, Wes on stage switched to speaking English.
"These three are friends from the distant Eastern Hua Country. I hope you can make them feel the passion from our ancient Italy!
And now, I declare the party officially open! Everyone, freely unleash your inner hormones!"
So models invited to the party instantly grew interested. They were well aware of their roles in such a party; Wes’s special introduction indicated that these three Easterners couldn’t be simple people.
After announcing the start of the party, Wes stepped down from the stage, with many models and stars gathering around him like the moon surrounded by stars.
Seemingly reluctant to part with the beauties around him, Wes raised his glass toward the three from afar without further acknowledgnt.
The three of them briefly discussed and decided to split up, starting to truly enjoy the party.
Gu Bai, attending such an occasion for the first ti, didn’t quite know how to adapt, so he quietly sat by, sipping his drink, and watched the passing models.
However, most of the won didn’t quite match his taste. Though their figures were indeed stunning, even without a scoring system, Gu Bai himself could only rate them around seventy to eighty out of a hundred.
As Gu Bai searched for prey eting his standards, a brown-haired, elegantly dressed woman in evening attire approached him.
"Hi."
The white woman smiled and greeted Gu Bai.
Gu Bai raised his head, glanced at her, and responded with a smile as well.
From the attire at the party, one could discern the identity of these won.
Those showing off their bodies in swimsuits were undoubtedly various types of models, while those in gowns were mostly invited stars from Italy, like actors and singers.
"My na is Matilda De Angelis, what’s your na, handso?"
Upon seeing her introduction, Gu Bai replied, "Gu Bai."
To be honest, Gu Bai wasn’t really interested in her. As soone who values looks, Matilda in front of him couldn’t make Gu Bai’s heart flutter, so his tone was a bit bland and perfunctory.
"Are you from Hua Country?"
"That’s right."
Upon hearing this, Matilda’s eyes lit up, and she picked up a nearby glass and raised it towards Gu Bai, "Mind having a drink with ?"
"Of course."
Though he didn’t like her, he understood the basic manners at least.
After clinking glasses, Matilda naturally sat next to Gu Bai and smiled, "I really like Hua Country. I once went there with the crew during a movie shoot, it’s truly a magical place, so beautiful."
Listening to her praise, Gu Bai found it amusing internally. Luckily, she didn’t go develop in Hua Country; otherwise, with just this sentence, she’d have hit the wealth code. After all, so ordinary foreigners in Hua Country post-"I love Hua Country" and gain a lot of fans.
"Are you an actress?"
"Yes, but not very famous."
Matilda was very cheerful, spread her hands, and said self-deprecatingly.
Looking at her face, Gu Bai seed to rember, "Italian Racing Car?"
Hearing his words, Matilda said with a surprised look, "You’ve seen this movie?"
Gu Bai likes to watch movies when he’s free. He had watched the movie "Italian Racing Car" starring Matilda before; it was just that so much ti had passed, he’d mostly forgotten about it. Seeing Matilda’s face now brought back the mory.
"Of course, I really like this movie."
Because Gu Bai and the others were introduced so grandly by Wes, Matilda speculated that these three people from Hua Country must have extraordinary identities, hoping to see if there’s a chance to connect, after all, in Italy, she’s just a minor celebrity, many resources must be fought for by herself.
With a topic, Matilda instantly beca enthusiastic, constantly probing Gu Bai’s identity in her words.
Gu Bai took a mont to check her attributes, and was shocked, his only bit of interest instantly vanished.
"Na: Matilda De Angelis
Attractiveness: 85
Health: 61
Affection: 45"
A health value of 61, which was the lowest value among all the won Gu Bai knew, couldn’t help but make him lant internally that foreigners really know how to play.
Originally, he was considering trying out foreign flavor since dostic celebrities were temporarily unapproachable, but knowing Matilda’s attributes made him eager to stay as far away from her as possible.
He who was seeming to have a good conversation suddenly turned cold, occasionally responding indifferently to Matilda’s conversations.
And Matilda, experienced in the entertainnt circle, almost mastered the skill of reading people and observing words, also noticed Gu Bai’s change. Although she didn’t know why, she wasn’t fixated on Gu Bai either; she politely bid farewell and left with her glass.
After this incident, Gu Bai beca more cautious in selecting his targets.
Going abroad, better not bring back so foreign specialties.
Like AIDS, no big deal.
Suddenly, Gu Bai saw a slender figure breaking away from the surrounding crowd, heading towards him.
When she got closer, Gu Bai was montarily stunned upon seeing that face, but soon snapped back to reality. Although he didn’t show a slobbering look, he was undeniably amazed, no wonder she still garnered so much attention at this party full of blooming flowers.
"Hello, my na is Dasha Talan, a Russian, can I get to know you?"
A lodious and pleasant self-introduction ca from Dasha’s mouth.
