Chapter 1718: Chapter 1394: Two Little Ones (Part 2) He also wanted to relax a bit to gear up for the evening’s negotiation! Actually, Soruns didn’t mention much specific about that influential family, only that they’re considered top-tier in Europe, and the three giants of the liquor industry are insignificant in comparison. Soruns also revealed something special: that family is actually Chinese, located in Chinatown, but they don’t have many local businesses. According to Soruns, they own half of Chinatown and more than half of the industries in the East Lundun City District. Previously, London’s Chinatown was already famous, but it was just a special street, perhaps associated with negative connotations. However, in recent years, as Huaxia rose, it showed the world what wealth truly looks like. Coupled with many immigrants, the “Chinatown” here is no longer just a street; it’s a large district, a wealthy district, and its geographic location has become excellent as the city expanded. Lin Weiwei had already looked this up before they arrived. Hearing Soruns mention it so casually now, Lin Weiwei was astonished. Owning half of the industry’s share in London’s Chinatown is already exaggerated, but having more than half in the East District, known as the wealthy area of London, is simply terrifying! And this is not considered much?! Soruns’s statement is truly exaggerated! At that time, Soruns mentioned that he’d bring Bai Xiaosheng over in the evening and would share more about that family. So now, Bai Xiaosheng just let it go. At the moment, Bai Xiaosheng suggested going out for a walk, and Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying, also feeling a bit tired, agreed immediately. After all, they’ve been sitting there from lunch till now, which isn’t healthy for the body. Having made up their minds, the three of them went downstairs and left the restaurant. Seeing the busy street, the three had no particular destination, so they walked along the street for a while. After more than ten minutes, a honk sounded from behind them. Bai Xiaosheng and the others turned around, and a taxi was pulling over. The driver was a bald Caucasian uncle, quite likable in appearance, with a warm smile. When he spoke, surprisingly, he used Chinese. Although it wasn’t fluent, it was understandable, “Friends, where do you want to go? Need a ride?” Bai Xiaosheng exchanged a glance with Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying, smiled at the uncle, “Sure.” Since they had no destination, why not take suggestions? Seeing them get into the car, the uncle smiled broadly and asked, “Where do you want to go?” “What’s interesting around here?” Lin Weiwei asked with a smile. “Interesting? Chinatown!” the driver uncle replied decisively, “I often go there. When I’m not driving, I take my family there to have fun. I’ve even signed up for a class at the Chinese school over there!” This content belongs to nοvelfire.net No wonder the uncle’s Chinese was so good; he had learned it specially. Hearing the word Chinatown, Bai Xiaosheng inexplicably felt a stir in his heart. On his last visit to London, it was just a quick tour, and he had never been to Chinatown. He wondered how this Chinatown compared to the one in America. “Then let’s go to Chinatown!” Bai Xiaosheng said. Chinatown wasn’t far from here; otherwise, Soruns wouldn’t have arranged for their stay here, purely for convenience. On the way, Lin Weiwei began chatting with the driver uncle, asking him about any prominent families in Chinatown. The driver uncle just shook his head, indicating he didn’t know. Bai Xiaosheng wasn’t surprised by this. Ordinary influential families are already unapproachable for city folk, appearing extremely mysterious. Let alone a super family that even Soruns treated with utmost respect. They exist in a world completely separate from ordinary people, even if living in the same place, the common folk might never know about them. The great hermits hide in the city! The proverb from the ancestors resonated with Bai Xiaosheng perfectly at this moment. Perhaps, in Europe, there are even more powerful entities than the super family, capable of swaying nations or influencing the world’s direction. Bai Xiaosheng felt that not being able to encounter, or even hear of them, might just represent his current level. Within less than thirty minutes, the taxi stopped. Through the windshield, Bai Xiaosheng and the others saw a sprawling area of buildings up ahead, all in ancient Huaxia style. The walls and roofs radiated grandeur, vitality, luxury, and a strong classic charm. In today’s globalized world, which city in the home country doesn’t have skyscrapers that all look alike? Yet, they didn’t expect to see such nuanced architecture overseas. Bai Xiaosheng and his companions were quite impressed. “From here, I suggest you walk inside. As you walk further, you can turn left or right at any of the next three to five intersections. Either way, there are many places worth seeing and lots of delicious food to try.” The driver uncle said excitedly, “Let me tell you, the dumplings here are particularly delicious; my favorite! I suggest you…” At this point, the driver uncle paused and then laughed heartily, “Ah, I forgot, you are from Huaxia. Such culinary delights are nothing new to you.” Bai Xiaosheng chuckled. Chinatown spreads Huaxia culture, and seeing a foreign uncle so fond of Huaxia culture and cuisine, even proactively learning Chinese and recommending places to guests, is indeed a cultural bridgehead. As a Huaxia person, Bai Xiaosheng felt proud and immediately responded with a smile, “We will have a good look around. Thank you for bringing us here.” Afterward, Bai Xiaosheng and the others paid the fare and a tip, got off the car, watched the taxi leave, and then started walking into the district.
