Chapter 35 California Cannon King vs. Stark

After Rhodes' introduction, Luke saw Stark also coming forward.

Luke smiled and nodded at him, but he didn't expect Stark to extend his hand.

They were both stunned for a moment, and Luke quickly stretched out his hand and shook hands with him.

"I'm sorry, I heard you never shake hands with men."

Stark shrugged and said:

"That's a good suggestion, Pepper."

With that, the blonde behind him handed Stark the drink.

Stark gave Luke and said:

"I don't know what you like to drink, so I just randomly picked this bottle of 95 Screaming Eagle Winery wine."

Generally, when you visit someone or attend someone else's party, you have to bring something with you, and wine is the most versatile choice.

This social etiquette is universal throughout the world.

Luke took the wine with a smile and handed it to Uncle Chen beside him.

The current steward of this villa is Uncle Chen, who was also the steward of the former Daqin Manor.

The last time Luke asked Mr. Qin for a housekeeper, the old man directly sent Uncle Chen, which touched Luke very much.

Uncle Chen has been serving the Qin family for nearly twenty years.

To Luke's surprise, he discovered that Uncle Chen actually knew Kung Fu, and it was not ordinary Kung Fu, but internal martial arts.

Because Luke felt the breath in his body, which was very strong.

After handing the wine to Uncle Chen, Luke smiled and said to Stark:

"Thank you for liking the wine from my winery so much. Please drink the 93 vintage with Rhodes later."

Stark looked at Luke with wide eyes and said:

"Your family is really stingy. They only sell a few every year, and yet you still rush to buy them."

Luke didn't take up the topic, but waved his hand and said:

"Come on, let's go upstairs and find a place with a good view to have a drink. By the way, Rhodes, when were you promoted to major?"

Rhodes looked at Stark and said:

"I just got promoted a few days ago, and Tony wanted to help me celebrate. He happened to be passing by your place, and his villa is right next to yours, so he came to take a look, but he didn't expect it to be your home."

Stark walked and observed Luke's villa and said:

"I just bought the bay next door and am thinking of renovating it. Who is your designer? Can you recommend one to me?"

Seeing that Stark was interested in the villa, Luke took them on a tour.

"I designed it myself."

Stark was surprised and said:

"I heard that this piece of land was bought by the chairman of Hex Group. I was also optimistic about this place, but unfortunately I acted too late. I didn't expect that you could actually buy this place from him?"

Luke just smiled and said nothing.

Tony was very smart. He looked at Luke and immediately thought of something, so he said:

"Are you related to that old Chinese guy?"

This time it was Rhodes' turn to be surprised.

"Is your family so rich? I remember your file saying you are the son of a farmer..."

Luke continued to smile without saying anything.

Rhodes and Stark were silent.

This Luke is so mysterious, so the public files must be fake.

However, Luke had guessed their thoughts, so he said:

"The file issue is just to avoid some trouble. In fact, the chairman of Hex Group is my grandfather."

The two had never guessed that this would be the answer, and they stared at Liluk with wide eyes.

Luke did not continue the topic, but instead introduced them to some design concepts of the villa.

Stark nodded and said:

"This is a good idea. I think I should learn from it for my villa."

Looking at the playful crowd and beauties in the distance, Stark became a little eager.

"Who did you invite to today's party? I think I saw a few Hollywood actors."

The three of them have now arrived at the top balcony of the main building of the villa. Luke pointed to the crowd below and said:

"During the recent holidays, my brothers and sisters were too bored, so they found some Hollywood stars to have a party."

Stark asked curiously:

"Who did you find? How much did it cost?"

Luke shrugged and said:

"It didn't cost any money. My aunt is the president of Paramount."

Tony Stark is only 28 years old now, at an energetic age, so he immediately became interested.

Luke had a few bottles of good wine delivered to him and he also asked Pepper about her taste.

Seeing that Stark wanted to go down and play, he said:

"You can have a party and have fun, but I have to remind you that most of the Hollywood actresses have rotten crotches. Be careful not to get sick."

After saying this, Luke noticed Pepper glanced at Stark.

Rhodes actually wanted to go down, but because of his face, he didn't make it so obvious.

So Luke suggested:

"Since we've met, let's celebrate Rhodes' promotion here. Cheers."

The proposal was unanimously agreed.

The few of them drank and chatted. In addition to telling them some Hollywood gossip, Luke also instilled in Stark some theories on picking up girls.

Stark looked at Luke puzzledly and said:

"You should be younger than me, right? Where do you get all these theories?"

Luke shook his glass and said with a smile:

"I've been dating since high school, and I've never relied on status or money."

Stark continued to look at Luke with suspicion.

Luke pointed to his face and continued:

"That's just one of the reasons. The most important thing is that you have to understand a woman's heart. Throwing money at her is nothing."

Stark curled his lips in disdain and said:

"I just like to see them give in. It saves time and trouble."

Luke sneered and said:

"Balzac once said, 'Money and love mixed together is ugly.' Love without sex only means it is not your true love; sex without love only proves that you do not understand love."

These philosophical words stunned the other three people present.

Rhodes is also a bachelor, while Pepper already has someone in her heart, but she is more afraid of losing or being disappointed if she expresses it.

Seeing them pondering for a while, Luke spoke up and interrupted their wandering thoughts.

"Stark, these Hollywood actresses look glamorous, but they are rotten. I will find some clean girls to have a party with next time."

Speaking of this, Stark immediately became excited.

But Luke said:

"You can rely on your personal charm, but you can't use money and status, because those are all good girls."

Stark asked:

"Where's the girl?"

Rhodes also looked at Luke with high spirits. Only Pepper looked unhappy.

Luke says:

"My grandmother's fashion group has many stores, and the girls who work there are carefully selected, well-paid, stable, and well-educated. Unlike those Hollywood actresses downstairs with rotten crotches."

Stark immediately said:

"Then it's settled. I'll pay for it when it's held."

Luke smiled disdainfully and said:

"I need that little money from you? But I need to talk to my grandma first. Let's do it in a few days, before the holiday is over."

Stark said hurriedly:

"Sorry, I got impatient."

Luke waved his hand and said:

"It's okay. You came in a hurry this time and didn't have any preparation. Next time, it will be considered a formal celebration for Rhodes."

Rhodes also quickly said to Luke:

"This is so embarrassing."

Luke smiled and said:

"It's okay, we are friends now, right?"

So the three of them raised their glasses to celebrate again.
