Stella heard this, she was a little relieved, and asked him:
“Then in what capacity do I preside over this housewarming ceremony?”
“I mean… When I introduced myself, would I say that I know Gerard,”
“Or that I knew Mr. Chen? Charlie smiled and said,
“In this matter today, Hong Kong actually wants to see Gerard’s embarrassment.”
“After all, in their opinion, Uncle Chen gave Gerard a green hat back then,”
“So they wanted to know why Gerard gave up chasing down Uncle Chen,”
“And even buying such an expensive mansion for him.”
“If you say you know Uncle Chen, they will think that Gerard was forced to give in,”
“Because Uncle Chen had your backing. Don’t let him lose face too much at his age.”
Stella nodded understandingly and said with a smile,
“Then what do you mean, do you want me to introduce myself, or do I say I know Gerard already?”
“Yes.” Charlie smiled and said: “You say that you and Gerard have known each other for a long time,”
“And this time in Hong Kong, you came to discuss cooperation with Gerard,”
“It was Gerard who specially invited you to preside over the ceremony,”
“And you also heard about him and Hogan. After the past events,”
“You felt that the relationship between the two of them was very positive, so you agreed to his request.”
After speaking, Charlie said again: “Actually, your tasks are only two,”
“One is to make this housewarming ceremony conclude successfully, and the other is to give Gerard more face.”
Stella nodded, smiled slightly, and said, “Mr. Wade if I am not humble if the Fei family endorses a company or individual,”
“It is equivalent to creating a huge amount of goodwill for him.”
“The one-time costs that Gerard paid to solve this matter,”
“This kind of goodwill can almost bring him a steady stream of benefits in the future,”
“So in this transaction, you may end up losing money instead.”
Charlie smiled and said, “The main purpose of my coming to Hong Kong is to solve Uncle Chen’s affairs.”
“As for whether Gerard will ultimately benefit, I won’t bother with him.”
Stella said with a smile, “I seemed to be calculating just now.”
“After thinking about it, I feel now that Gerard should be at a loss.”
Charlie asked curiously, “Why did you change your view?”
Stella said seriously: “I didn’t take Jemima into consideration just now,”
“She has already fallen in love with you, although Gerard earned the endorsement of the Fei family,”
“But he lost Jemima, and in the end, he lost more.”
Charlie said a little embarrassedly: “What you said seems like he has lost Jemima.”
“It’s like what happened to Miss Fei, I just appreciate her a little more on the basis of ordinary friends,”
“And I haven’t done anything to her, how can it be considered that Gerard has paid in the form of Jemima?”
Stella smiled slightly, and said meaningfully: “Sometimes,”
“If you are not doing something to the other party, it’s better than something actually happened.”
Charlie asked in surprise: “What does this mean?”
Stella quickly waved her hand: “I’m just talking nonsense. Mr. Wade, don’t mind.”
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard the sound of firecrackers in the courtyard of the villa,
Followed by the sound of gongs, drums, and suonas, as if the lion dance team had already started to perform.
At this time, Amin hurried in and said to Charlie,
“Mr. Wade, the convoy has arrived at the door, and they are about to come in!”
Charlie nodded and asked him, “Have Samson’s set of things been put away? ?”
Amin nodded hurriedly and said, “According to your instructions, I have put them away.”
“Okay.” Charlie smiled and said, “Miss Fei will preside over the housewarming ceremony today.”
After speaking, he looked at Stella and said, “Miss Fei, I will leave everything to you.”
Stella was surprised: “Mr. Wade, are you not going?”
Charlie smiled and said, “There are so many media reporters outside,”
“So I don’t want to show my face, so as not to be recognized.”
For Charlie, what he was worried about was if the TV media shows him, his face will be recognized by his grandmother’s family.
In the front-end time, Sara took the blood-saving pill and went to An family as his fiancée,
Which to a certain extent rekindled the An family’s determination to find him.
However, Charlie didn’t plan to recognize them for the time being.
Naturally, it is most appropriate not to attend this kind of occasion that the whole of Hong Kong was giving attention to.
Stella also understood Charlie’s original intention in making this decision, and nodded slightly:
“Okay, Mr. Wade, since that’s the case, then please rest assured and leave the matter to me, I will definitely not disappoint you!”
The reporters flocked in following the motorcade.
The best lion dance team in Hong Kong performed the two lifelike lion dances in a dazzling manner.
The scene was extraordinarily lively.
Although Charlie has always disliked lively scenes but now seeing this scene, he is very relieved.
The thick smoke produced by the explosion of the firecrackers rose up with the strong smell of gunpowder.
This familiar but unfamiliar smell made Charlie suddenly feel refreshed.
He liked the smell of gunpowder smoke when the firecrackers burned out since he was a child,
But with the ban on fireworks and firecrackers everywhere over the years,
He has not smelled this familiar smell for a long time.
It may also be related to the Chinese people’s love of fireworks and firecrackers during festivals and events,
So every time one smells this smell, it is also a good time for a family reunion and happy events,
Especially when Charlie was young when it was New Year’s and other festivals.
His parents would take special time to accompany him to set off fireworks.
At that time, Charlie could not wait to shoot from the 30th of the new year until the 15th of the first lunar month.
So this kind of memory would also make Charlie involuntarily find the happiness that was unique to his childhood.
Charlie stood on the edge of the terrace, took a few greedy breaths, and couldn’t help thinking of his parents again.
Most of the time, he is a strong person.]
He rarely sheds tears and is never afraid. No matter how hard time life has given him, he can still live with a smile.
But only when he misses his parents, will the fragile sensitivity in his heart be exposed involuntarily.
His character is like a hedgehog with strong armor, and his parents are his soft and fragile underbelly.
He saw Hogan in a suit getting out of the car.
Hogan was wearing the same suit he had brought when he fled to the United States.
After so many years, the suit still fits perfectly. It’s white, but it looks extraordinarily energetic.
In Charlie’s mind, he suddenly remembered what his father had said to him when he was a child.
Those words were also the reason why he refused his grandfather and insisted on taking his mother back to China.
He said: “Charlie, you have to remember that anyone with a righteous heart and flesh and blood,”
“Must have three souls and seven spirits. If such a person is far away from his homeland for a long time,”
“The three souls and seven spirits will be missing one soul.”
“When you go to your homeland, the lost soul will be found naturally,”
“If you don’t return to your homeland, or if you lose your homeland, then this soul will never be found again.”
Seeing Hogan now seems to be young overnight.
At the age of ten, Charlie suddenly realized the true meaning of his father’s words.
Father had also said: “Among the three souls and seven spirits of human beings,”
“The three souls are the soul of heaven, the soul of the earth, and the soul of life.”
“The soul of heaven means homeland, the soul of the earth means parents, and the soul of life means oneself.”
“Charlie, do you know why in the long history of 5,000 years,”
“Whenever the country is in crisis or the country is lost,”
“Countless ancestors would sacrifice their lives for the country one after another?”
The young Charlie shook his head ignorantly, and asked: “Why Dad?”
Father smiled and explained: “That’s because people can lose the other two souls and seven spirits,”
“But they can’t have no heaven soul! Among the three souls and seven spirits,”
“The heaven soul is the most important because it represents a person’s highest belief,”
“A person’s belief in the homeland, the motherland, and the nation is the highest belief.”
“This is the reason why Dad chose to return to China, and why the Jews have experienced so much to get a land of their own.”
“There had many hardships, but they still had to go back to Palestine and build Israel desperately,”
“Because they, like their fathers, wanted to find their heavenly souls. They had lost their homeland.”
Young Charlie didn’t understand the feelings of family and country,
So he didn’t understand why his father was full of tears when he said this.
But now, when he saw Hogan’s radiant face as if he was reborn, he really understood his father’s burning sincerity.
Charlie couldn’t help thinking that he did not leave his homeland to develop overseas,
Nor did he forget his original intention, nor was he blinded by material desires,
But his three souls and seven spirits had long since ceased to be complete,
Because since the day his parents died, and his earth soul representing his parents also went away with them.
Just when Charlie was sighing with emotion, he suddenly heard a familiar voice beside him asking,
“Mr. Wade, what are you thinking about?”
Charlie was slightly startled, turned around, and saw that Jemima had arrived closer to him at some point.
He was surprised, and at the same time a little scared.
He didn’t expect that he would be so careless, and even an ordinary person like Jemima, he didn’t notice.
Immediately, he came back to his senses, smiled slightly, and said to her,
“I’m thinking about some old things.”
After speaking, he asked her, “When did Miss Liu come?”
“I just arrived.” Jemima also smiled lightly, then walked to Charlie’s side,
Looked at the lively scene below, and asked him, “Were you thinking about your parents just now?”
“Well…” Charlie didn’t deny it, gently nodded, smiled self-deprecatingly, and said softly,
“Although it has been twenty years, I still miss them…”
Regarding this topic, Jemima and Charlie are almost on the same frequency superior.
She almost completely understood Charlie’s feelings,
So she couldn’t help but sighed softly, then stepped forward, summoned up her courage,
Took the initiative to grab Charlie’s hand, and squeezed it in the palm of her hand,
As if using this method to convey her concern and comfort to him.
Afraid that Charlie would think too much, Jemima changed the subject and said,
“Mr. Chen’s condition seems to be much better than yesterday.”
“Yes.” Charlie nodded and said earnestly, “He has recovered his heavenly soul.”
After saying that, he saw Hogan helping his old mother out of the car,
And hurriedly said, “No, not only Heavenly soul, the earthly soul too.”
Jemima asked in surprise: “Mr. Wade also knows three souls and seven spirits?!”
Charlie was stunned, and couldn’t help asking: “You know too?”
“Of course… ..” Jemima smiled and said seriously: “Mr. Wade, don’t forget,”
“I am learning Chinese, and I have been learning Chinese for many, many years.”
“In fact, along with the language what I learned is philosophy and history.”
Charlie gently nodded and said, “It’s better to read,”
“The essence of the five thousand years of civilization is in the book.”
Jemima smiled: “Although Mr. Wade has not finished the university,”
“There must be a lot of people who want to come to the book, right?”
“You all know the unpopular Taoist thought of Qi Po.”
Charlie laughed at himself: “I haven’t read a lot of books, and I have been struggling at the bottom for 20 years.”
“How can I have so much time and energy to read a lot.”
“These are little things, my father told me when I was there.”
Jemima said seriously: “Actually, it’s never too late to read.”
“If Mr. Wade can spare time, he can make a plan for himself first,”
“Try reading one book a month, and then strive to read two books a month and then go for one book a week.”
After speaking, Jemima added: “If Mr. Wade doesn’t dislike it, I can help you make a reading plan.”
Charlie couldn’t help but ask her, “Should I do it then?”
“Will there be a random check of progress and assignments?”
Jemima smiled shyly and said, “I can do it if Mr. Wade needs it.”
In the face of Jemima’s good intentions, Charlie did not refuse.
Even though he is now a billionaire, he still regrets not having a full higher education.
Before, he didn’t want to spend more time reading books, but he couldn’t help himself a lot of the time.
In the few years when he married, except for sleeping time,
He basically never took off his apron, and there was no one to urge him to open a book,
So, the habit of reading, he didn’t really develop it over the years.
Since Jemima was willing to play the role of urging and guiding, Charlie naturally agreed readily.
She was very happy and said to him: “Then we have reached a consensus,”
“Remember to register an email when you have time, I will help you choose some books,”
“And then send the electronic version of the books to you by email,”
“So that you can read anytime and anywhere on your mobile phone,”
“And when you are almost done reading, I will send you some questions via email,”
“And you should try your best to answer them at that time.”
Charlie nodded and said seriously, “No problem, teacher Jemima.”
Jemima heard Charlie calling her teacher, and said with a smile,
“You are the first person to call me teacher.”
Charlie smiled and said, “Then I can be considered your first disciple.”
She asked with a smile: “Do you think I am suitable to be a teacher? I mean, a real teacher.”
“Suitable.” Charlie said very seriously: “To be a truly qualified teacher,”
“You must first learn something. You are completely in line with this point;”
“The second is to be a teacher, I believe you have no problem with that.”
After speaking, he couldn’t help sighing: “Many teachers now have lost their original intention of teaching,”
“And educating people, and they only care about chasing fame and fortune,”
“But I believe that if you become a teacher, Miss Liu, you will not be the same as them,”
“So I think if you become a teacher, you should do better than most people.”
After listening to Charlie’s words, Jemima was greatly encouraged,
And she couldn’t hide her excitement and said, “Since Mr. Wade believes in me so much,”
“I will try my best to develop in this direction in the future!”
Charlie nodded and instructed: “If you really become a teacher in the future,”
“You must remember not to forget your original intention.”
“I know!” Jemima nodded solemnly, then remembered something, and asked him,
“Mr. Wade, are you going back to the United States today?”
“Yes. Charlie said, “Going back at night.”
Jemima said reluctantly, “Then can I come to the airport to see you off?”
Charlie thought for a while, and said, “If Miss Liu wants to go, of course, I won’t stop.”
“The question is, is it just not too much trouble for you?”
“No.” Jemima said hurriedly: “I have nothing to do at night,”
“I guess my dad will definitely come over by then, in that case, I will be with you.”
Charlie Nodding: “Okay.”
…
At this time, the lion dance performance in the villa courtyard is coming to an end.
Gerard and the Chen family were all standing on the stage built in advance,
And on the background of the stage was specially written to congratulate the Chen family on the relocation of the house.
Two mighty lions jumped up from the open space under the stage,
Stood majestically on both sides of the stage, and then spit out two words from their mouths,
One was congratulations on the housewarming, and the other was the prosperity of the house,
Which was considered a gift from the two good heads.
Gerard looked much happier than Hogan at this time, applauding while looking for Stella’s shadow,
Because Charlie promised him that Stella would give a speech today,
This wave of operations directly ruined Gerard’s face ceiling in Hong Kong.
It’s just that he was surrounded by countless reporters taking pictures at this time,
And he couldn’t see Stella at all, and according to the original plan,
At this time, Master Samson was to preside over the housewarming ceremony,
But he didn’t know why, there was no trace of Samson at the scene.
What’s worse, he suddenly discovered that the ritual altar,
That Samson had spent a lot of energy to set up had disappeared without a trace.
So he quickly pulled Amin to him and asked in a low voice, “Where is Master Yu?! Why is he missing?!”
Amin explained in his ear: “Mr. Liu, something happened to Master Yu… ..”
“He seems to have been bitten by something he raised,”
“And it was pretty serious, and he was just taken away by an ambulance…”
“What?!” Gerard said in horror: “I’ll beat your Lungs up,”
“He was taken away by an ambulance?! Who will handle my ceremony today?”
Amin hurriedly said, “Don’t worry, Mr. Liu, Mr. Wade has already arranged,”
“For Miss Fei to preside over the housewarming ceremony.”
Gerard was surprised and he asked: “Miss Fei is here to host? Is it true?! It’s not a joke, right?”
Somebody couldn’t hold it anymore, someone raised the microphone and asked loudly,
“Mr. Liu, can you tell us why you suddenly bought this mansion for Mr. Hogan?”
“I remember that the two of you have always been at odds.”
“It seems that there were some love triangle relationships in the past, what made you make this decision today?”
“Yes, Mr. Liu!” Another reporter also said loudly: “I have heard that you had announced the head bounty, to buy Hogan’s life,”
“Hogan finally returned to Hong Kong this time, why did the two of you suddenly shake hands and make peace?”
“Are you under some pressure? Is it because you and Miss Fang are pressing each other to death?”
The media in Hong Kong have always been tricky, especially in the line of the lace news,
No matter how old the other party is, they don’t care about the other party’s face at all,
And as soon as they come up, they want to uncover Gerard’s scars.
At this time, Gerard was also somewhat embarrassed.
He had known for a long time that he would not be able to escape this encounter today.
The reason why the media reporters flocked here was that they wanted to know why he would be soft on Hogan.
So he gritted his teeth and prepared to bite the bullet and say the remarks he had prepared first.
As for whether the reporters of the monkey spirit, believe it or not, that is their business.
However, just when Gerard wanted to speak, a beautiful figure walked onto the stage with a microphone from the side.
When the media saw this beautiful woman on stage, they all exclaimed in disbelief:
“She…isn’t she the head of the Fei family, Stella Fei?!”
“Really? No way? Did I read it wrong? How did the head of the Fei family come here?!”
“Absolutely right, it’s Stella Fei! I did the news about her a few days ago.”
“I have long been impressed by how beautiful she is!”
“That’s right! I think it’s Stella Fei herself! This is the current head of the Fei family…”
“It can be said that she is one of the richest people under the age of 30 in the world.”
“The most valuable one, how could she appear here?! Does she know Gerard?!”
Another media reporter said, “Gerard? How can he have such a big face? His assets are not even a far.t in front of the Fei family!”
“Could it be that she knows Hogan?! But this is even more impossible,”
“If Hogan knew someone from the Fei family, he wouldn’t have been hiding outside for so many years!”
All the media reporters turned their cameras on Stella.
One by one, waiting for her to announce her identity, both surprised and delighted.
At this time, Stella picked up the microphone and said with a slight smile:
“Thank you to all the media reporters and friends for coming.”
“I am Stella Fei, chairperson of the Fei Group,”
“And I am honored to be invited by Mr. Gerard to come to serve him and Mr. Chen’s family,”
“And preside over today’s housewarming ceremony!”
Stella’s smiling remark made all the reporters at the scene stunned.
Although everyone guessed that Stella might know Gerard,
No one thought that she could give Gerard such a face.
In her capacity as the chairperson of a trillion-dollar enterprise,
Being a VIP here has already made Gerard flourish,
But who would have guessed that she was actually invited by Gerard to make a cameo appearance,
At this housewarming ceremony moderator, in the eyes of everyone, this is really too much face for Gerard.
They know Gerard’s assets are only 1% of the Fei family’s.
Seeing the horror of these reporters, Gerard only felt an unprecedented relief in his heart.
No one does hate face, and at this time, Gerard only feels that his old face seems to have never been so bright in his life.
When Stella came forward, those reporters who originally wanted to see Gerard’s jokes
Also, put away their usual gossip attitude and began to take this housewarming ceremony very seriously.
And Stella also used her perfect eloquence and personal charm to reveal 100% what Charlie wanted her to express.
When she said that she admired Gerard and Hogan’s actions to release their previous suspicions,
The media reporters at the scene suddenly felt the same way.
At this time, when they looked at Gerard and Hogan again,
They no longer had the mentality of watching a good show,
But they really believed that the two people could still laugh with each other after 20 years,
Which is simply a story of the century.
With Stella’s threading, this housewarming ceremony became full of humanistic spirit.
The reporters on the front line sent the situation back to the headquarters.
Countless Hong Kong media also immediately wrote a large number of very positive news reports.
For a time, the whole of Hong Kong was moved by the reconciliation between the two people after 20 years.
In this way, it can be regarded as giving Gerard the best step, which greatly saves his face.
As for Hogan, he can finally live upright in Hong Kong,
And no one will try to kill him and ask Gerard for money.
And Hogan’s family not only ushered in a family reunion,
But their lives have also undergone earth-shaking changes.
In the past, because they were relatives of Hogan, they suffered all kinds of exclusion in Hong Kong.
However, starting today, this situation will take a 180-degree turn.
Charlie finally felt relieved when he saw this scene.
Help Uncle Chen come back, help him and his family establish a solid foundation in Hong Kong,
And at the same time get Uncle Chen’s promise.
In the future, there will be one more general in his business empire.
Moreover, it was still recognized by his father back then, and even a general he had appointed.
After the housewarming ceremony, Gerard arranged for his assistant Amin,
To give all the media reporters a big red envelope in the name of Hogan, which was nominally a travel and dining allowance.
After the media reporters left contentedly, Gerard arranged a sumptuous banquet in the villa.
At this banquet, in addition to Hogan’s family, there were also Gerard and Bella,
As well as his daughter Jemima.
There were also two VIP seats at the scene, reserved for Charlie and Stella.
After Charlie was seated, Gerard stood up with the glass of wine, and said to him with great gratitude:
“Mr. Wade, everything is thanks to you today, I can’t describe my gratitude to you in words,”
“In order to express my gratitude to you. Thank you, I will do it first as a tribute!”
After saying that, before Charlie could speak, he drank all the wine in the glass in one gulp.
Charlie smiled slightly and asked him, “Is Mr. Liu satisfied with today’s affairs?”
“Satisfied, satisfied!” Gerard nodded his head like garlic, and said excitedly:
“Mr. Wade’s arrangement today gave me 100 satisfactions, 1000 satisfactions, 10000 satisfaction!”
“Oh no! It’s not satisfaction, it’s gratitude! Thank you, Mr. Wade! Mr. Wade!”
Charlie nodded and said indifferently:
“It’s best if you are satisfied, with this matter, even if everything is settled today!”
Gerard said quickly: “Yes, yes, everything is settled, and then there will be no change!”
Hogan also stood up with a glass of wine at this time, and said respectfully,
“Young Master Wade, I can return to Hong Kong and reunite with the family.”
“Thanks to your help, I will also toast to you!” He too, like Gerard, drank it all.
Charlie first clenched his fists at Gerard, and said,
“Mr. Liu, I have something to ask you to help me with.”
Gerard said flatly, “Mr. Wade, if you have any orders, just open your mouth,”
“Do you want me to go up the mountain of swords, go down to the sea of fire, I’ll never blink!”
Charlie smiled slightly: “It’s not so troublesome,”
“I just want to ask you to take care of Uncle Chen’s family in the future.”
“After all, the two of you live so close now, which is relatively more convenient.”
Gerard didn’t think about it and said: “Don’t worry, Mr. Wade!”
“In the future, Hogan’s family is my family, and I will definitely take good care of them!”
He looked at Hogan and said seriously, “Hogan, if you go to the mainland to develop in the future,”
“I will take good care of your family for you! Feel free to leave it to me!”
Then, he pointed to the villa and said,
“I have already instructed that I will bear all the expenses of this villa in the future,”
“And I will also be responsible for the labor of the driver, maids, and housekeeper.”
“I’ll pay for it, and I’ll pay another million dollars a month for living expenses!”
Charlie said seriously: “Of course, you can’t make money and work for this kind of thing, so I still have to pay the money.”
Hogan said hurriedly: ” Young Master Wade, the family has been used to being frugal all their lives,”
“And they can’t use so much money at all…”
Charlie smiled and said: “It’s fine, it’s all part of your salary in the future, just let your family keep it for you.”
Hogan said nervously: “Master Wade, I’ve been running that store in Chinatown for so many years.”
“The roast goose shop has never done any serious work. If you need my old bones, I will do my best.”
“But how can I get such a high salary?”
“Just prepare a place to stay, and give me a meager salary, enough for me to live in Aurous Hill…”
Charlie said seriously: “Uncle Chen, you are someone that even my father admired very much,”
“And Uncle Gu treats you as well. They have always praised you, and I believe that their vision will never go wrong.”
After speaking, Charlie added: “What’s more, human society has developed for so many years,”
“Only science and technology are constantly developing,”
“But human nature and the whole society’s basic logic of operation has not changed,”
“As the so-called change is inseparable, I believe that you will be able to create great value.”
Gerard on the side also echoed: “Hogan, you in my life are the smartest person I have ever met,”
“I have always thought so for so many years, I believe that you will be by Mr. Wade’s side in the future,”
“And you will definitely be his right-hand man, and expand the territory for Mr. Wade’s business,”
“And I believe that Mr. Wade will definitely have the same as I have,”
“Otherwise he wouldn’t be able to put so much thought into you.”
Speaking of which, Gerard couldn’t help but sigh: “Actually, I thought a lot in bed last night,”
“And wanted to understand one thing, that is, With Mr. Wade’s strength,”
“It would have been too simple to just help you solve the troubles.”
“As long as he had said a word, the soldiers of Cataclysmic Front might make me die inexplicably.”
“Then you could naturally be able to return to Hong Kong safely,”
“And he doesn’t have to come in person at all;”
“But the reason why Mr. Wade wanted to come to Hong Kong in person must have been to help you completely open up this knot,”
“Not only to let you have no worries but also to let you realize that you are the one who dominated Hong Kong back then!”
In this world, the person who knows Hogan’s abilities best is Gerard.
If it wasn’t for Bella, he would definitely do everything possible to keep Hogan by his side and let him act as his think tank.
It’s a pity that the two antagonized each other for the sake of beauty pursuit.
Neither of the two took a step back then, and this finally made them enemies for 20 years.
Now that Gerard has let go of his past grievances, from the perspective of an old friend,
He also hopes that Hogan can find his true value again.
And he also felt that his temple could no longer hold the Buddha Hogan.
Hogan could only reflect his value to the greatest extent by staying with Charlie.
He could also see that Charlie must have seen the value of Hogan,
So he devoted so much energy to him at all costs.
Therefore, at this time, on the one hand, he is affirming Hogan’s strength,
And on the other hand, he also expresses his thoughts on behalf of Charlie.
Although Hogan had already looked down on everything,
He was somewhat encouraged when he heard Gerard’s affirmation and expectation of him.
Immediately, he looked at Charlie, and said solemnly: “Young Master Wade, rest assured,”
“I will do my best for you in the future till death!”
Charlie said seriously: “Uncle Chen, by contrast, I hope you can renew your life.”
“Find your own value and prove your strength to everyone.”
Hogan clasped his fists in both hands and said gratefully,
“Young Master Wade, rest assured, I will definitely do it!”
Seeing Hogan’s renewed fighting spirit, Charlie felt even more relieved, and said with a smile:
“In this case, then I have nothing to worry about.”
“Uncle Chen take good care of your family for the next few days.”
“I will go back to the United States in the evening.”
“I will contact you before returning to China, and I will see you when we get back.”
Hogan nodded lightly, He opened his mouth and said,
“Master Wade, you must be more careful in the United States.”
Charlie smiled slightly: “Don’t worry, Uncle Chen, I know what I know.”
After lunch, Hogan’s family was busy cleaning up their new home,
While Gerard and Bella insisted on staying to help.
Jemima was going to school in the afternoon, so before leaving,
Se quietly told Charlie to take off after 7 pm as originally planned,
And don’t advance the departure time, she will go directly to the airport to see him off.
Charlie naturally agreed, and after watching Jemima drive away,
He planned to go shopping in the city center and buy some gifts for his wife and mother-in-law.
Every time he goes out on the grounds of feng shui,
He will take the initiative to buy some gifts for the two of them, which has become a habit.
So he went back to the villa, found Stella, and asked her,
“Miss Fei, what other arrangements do you have for the afternoon?”
Stella shook her head: “Mr. Wade, I don’t have any other arrangements,”
“If you don’t have any other arrangements either, we can take the flight take off earlier,”
“So that we don’t have to waste an afternoon here.”
Charlie smiled: “We don’t need to take off early,”
“You can go shopping with me in the afternoon and buy some handy gifts.”
Stella heard that Charlie wanted to invite her to go shopping, and said with joy:
“Okay, Mr. Wade, it’s my honor to be able to accompany you shopping.”
Charlie smiled and said, “You don’t have to be so polite, just treat it as giving me advice,”
“The most troublesome thing for me is to buy gifts, you can help me make up my mind.”
“Okay.” Stella pursed her lips and asked, “When will we set off?”
“Now.” Charlie said: “I’ll say hello to Uncle Chen and we’ll leave.”
Soon, Charlie talked to Hogan and drove with Stella to the largest business district in Hong Kong.
On the way, Stella asked him, “Mr. Wade, what kind of gifts are you planning to buy for your family?”
Charlie smiled and said, “It’s just my wife and my mother-in-law,”
“So, just choose something that women like more.”
Stella nodded and smiled: “For women, bags and jewelry are definitely the best choices.”
“As for bags, they are Hermes and Chanel. As for jewelry, there will be more brands,”
“Such as Van Cleef & Arpels, Tiffany, and Bulgari. Li, it’s a good choice.”
Charlie said, “I won’t get the bag, I have given it before, but I can think about jewelry…”
Thinking of this, he suddenly remembered the situation Warnia helped him set up for Elaine.
At that time, Elaine ended up spending almost all the cash because of an emerald necklace from Bulgari.
Charlie suddenly thought if Elaine was to buy another necklace that was exactly the same,”
“As the necklace, she bought when she won the lottery, how would she feel in the depths of her heart?
Thinking of this, Charlie said without hesitation, “Let’s go to Bulgari!”
Soon, the two parked the car and came to the largest Sogo department store in Hong Kong.
In order to prevent being recognized, Stella put on a mask and sunglasses and followed Charlie into the mall.
As soon as they arrived at the mall, Stella saw the sign of Bulgari,
So she said to Charlie, “Mr. Wade, Bulgari is over there.”
“Okay.” Charlie nodded and came to the storefront with her.
In the store, a shopping guide stepped forward and asked enthusiastically,
“Welcome to Bulgari, what do you two want to see?”
Charlie asked, “I heard that you have an emerald necklace in the store. Is it in stock?”
The shopping guide hurriedly said, “Yes, sir it is in stock, wait a moment.”
After saying that, the shopping guide took out an emerald pendant necklace from the counter,
Handed it to Charlie, and said respectfully, “Sir, this emerald necklace is our latest model this year,”
“And it sells very, very well, with a price of 550,000 Hong Kong dollars only.”
Charlie took the necklace and looked at it, and found that the necklace is really beautiful,
Showing the style and class. At the same time in terms of temperament, it can also be low-key and restrained,
Not as flamboyant and superficial as diamond jewelry. It is indeed a rare good style.
No wonder Elaine was willing to spend all the cash to buy such a necklace.
Moreover, Charlie felt that for Claire it should also be very suitable to wear such a pendant.
Not only is the style fresh and elegant, but the green pendant can also bring out the fairness of the skin.
So, Charlie said: “Okay, I want this necklace, please get me two.”
The shopping guide said in surprise: “Sir, do you want to buy two identical ones?”
“Yes.” Charlie nodded and said: “It needs to be exactly the same.”
The shopping guide explained patiently: “Sir if you are planning to give it to your wife,”
“I would recommend that you buy two different styles. Women prefer different styles of jewelry.”
Charlie said: “I’m going to give it to my wife and my mother-in-law.”
The shopping guide nodded and said sincerely: “Then I suggest you buy two different styles,”
“Women’s matching shirts, shoes, matching the same hairstyle, they don’t like it.”
“If your wife and your mother-in-law both wear the same necklace, they will definitely feel awkward.”
Charlie smiled: “Listening to you, I want to buy it even more. It’s to be the same.”
For Charlie, he knew Claire’s character very well, she is a dedicated personality,
Indifferent to the world, and doesn’t care about herself much,
If he buys the same jewelry for her and Elaine, She certainly will not have any dissatisfaction.
But Elaine is different.
The two major taboos for women’s jewelry mentioned by the shopping guide just now,
One is to have the same jewelry, and the other is to dress up the same as others.
As long as you buy two identical ones for Claire and Elaine,
Then Elaine will face at the same time, the two unacceptable conditions.
She is greedy and unrestrained, and Charlie didn’t want her to be too proud.
So he could make her feel a little uncomfortable and correct her so that she wouldn’t get too complacent.
When Charlie and Stella were shopping in the mall,
Jemima, who was preparing for the thesis defense at school soon,
Suddenly received an email signed by Aurous Hill University.
When she saw the two words of Aurous Hill University,
She was very excited and opened the email quickly, and then she couldn’t help but read the content of the email softly:
“Dear Ms. Jemima, hello. I am the person in charge of the talent introduction plan,”
“We have received your cover letter and resume. After our preliminary review,”
“We believe that your situation is very suitable for the needs of our excellent talent introduction plan.”
“You are specially invited to Aurous Hill for an interview…Interview time…”
Seeing this, Jemima immediately cheered excitedly: “That’s great!”
Emily Chen, a classmate, and friend in the same major,
Was looking for information quietly when she heard Jemima shout,
And asked in surprise: “Jemima, what’s wrong with you? What can make you so excited?”
Jemima said without hesitation: “I received an interview notice from Aurous Hill University.”
“After I finish my defense, I can go to the interview! If I pass, I will stay at the University to teach!”
Emily said dumbfounded: “No, Jemima…you will be a Ph.D. student at the University of Hong Kong.”
“If you want to stay in school to teach, the school can’t ask for a better option,”
“Why do you need to go to a mainland university? What about teaching at a non-graduate university?”
Jemima said very seriously: “Aurous Hill University is not a non-graduate university,”
“On the contrary, it is a national double-first-class university with strong faculty and development background.”
Emily blurted out. : “No matter how strong it is, it can’t be stronger than Hong Kong University,”
“And if you stay at Hong Kong University, you don’t have to leave Hong Kong.”
“You can work at your doorstep. It’s better than going to the mainland to develop.”
Jemima smiled and said seriously. : “I’ve been in Hong Kong for so many years,”
“And it’s time to go out and see the outside world!”
Emily curled her lips: “What’s so good about the outside world,”
“I don’t think it’s as good as Hong Kong, and Jemima, your family is rich and powerful in Hong Kong,”
“And you can call for wind and rain. Why are you running all the way to the mainland?”
After speaking, she asked curiously, “By the way, Jemima,”
“You want to go to the mainland to develop, shouldn’t it be for love?”
Jemima’s cheeks instantly turned bright. There was a red tide,
But she didn’t want to admit it, and quickly said:
“I just want to leave my comfort zone, so don’t make any guesses.”
Emily saw Jemima’s performance and said very firmly:
“Jemima Sister, I’ve known you for so long, and I know you too well.”
“You are a person who can’t lie at all. When you lie, you blush.”
“Look at how red your face is now, and you still say no…”
Jemima subconsciously reached out and touched her cheek.
When she realized that her face was really hot, she quickly said to her,
“This is the end of what you just said. You must not talk nonsense to others.”
Emily smiled. said: “Okay, I will never talk nonsense, but sister Jemima, can you satisfy my curiosity,”
“I really can’t think of who it is. What kind of charm can you capture the crowned of the University of Hong Kong?”
“Who is it who can conquer the heart of Jemima…”
Jemima glared at her and reminded her: “Be busy with serious business, don’t always gossip!”
Emily laughed: “No gossip is fun in serious business!”
Emily, suddenly remembered something and exclaimed:
“Sister Jemima, the one you fell in love with is probably the boy you brought over at the Tsim Sha Tsui charity sale last time, right?”
“You also said at the time that he was your fiancé. Really have an affair?!”
