Hong Kong: Rise of the Kings.

Chapter 945 0933 [Love at First Sight]

Du Yongxiao's words "We are not suitable" almost made Guan Jiahui bite her tongue off in surprise.

She has been beautiful since she was young, and many boys pursued her when she was in school. No matter what the occasion, she could always stun everyone. No man had ever refused her advances. Du Yongxiao was the only one.

The more Du Yongxiao acted like this, the more Guan Jiahui felt that Du Yongxiao was different from the others. Not only was he handsome, but he also had a strong personality. He was not like the boys she knew before, who either pretended to be handsome, or spoke and acted immaturely, or just looked too ugly.

"Is there something wrong with me?" Guan Jiahui almost pleaded, "If I did something wrong just now, I will change it... Don't you like me wearing this kind of jeans? Then I won't wear it in the future. I actually like wearing skirts. If you don't like this kind of bar, let's go somewhere else and never come here again."

Du Yongxiao didn't expect that the future beautiful star would be so unrestrained, and couldn't help laughing: "That's not what I meant. What I meant was that I'm 25 years old and you're only 16. I'm almost 10 years older than you, which is a bit inappropriate."

"No, I think it's quite suitable." Guan Jiahui shook her head and said, "I think older guys know how to care for others, and they are more reliable, unlike the guys around me, who are all street monkeys."

Du Yongxiao smiled again, "Don't say that for now. I believe that you came to me today because your parents forced you to do so. So I don't want to embarrass you. You can go back and tell them that I was wrong, so that you can shift the blame to me..."

"But you're not wrong." Guan Jiahui's beautiful eyes flickered as she stared at Du Yongxiao and said, "How about we try being together first? If you still don't like me, or I don't like you, we can break up later."

"Uh, is it necessary?" Du Yongxiao spread his hands. He was too busy to play this kind of relationship-building game.

"I think it is necessary. At least if we can't be lovers, we can still be friends in the future." Guan Jiahui said with her chest puffed out proudly.

Her action made Du Yongxiao couldn't help but recall the wet scene in "Five Lucky Stars" that she and Sammo Hung filmed in her previous life, and his heart was slightly moved.

"Ahem, maybe you didn't know me well before this, or maybe you didn't know me very well. Actually, my family is not a nouveau riche. I am..."

"It goes without saying, I know."

"Uh, what do you know?"

"I know your family may not be very rich. Although your aunt is dressed in jewels and precious stones, after all, you are going to have a blind date with a royal descendant like us, and you think that you can only be worthy of me if you dress more luxuriously..." Guan Jiahui said in an affirmative tone.

"Well, what makes you think that?"

"Because you are dressed very ordinary. I see that your clothes don't even have a brand. And the watch you wear is just a Japanese Seiko, not a Rolex, IWC, or Patek Philippe..."

"Ahem, this -"

In fact, the suit Du Yongxiao was wearing was custom-made in Italy. Of course, it had no brand, except for the initials of his Chinese name on the collar and cuffs.

As for this watch, it was bought by Sakuragi Rin as a gift for Du Yongxiao when he went to Japan to work.

Sakuragi Rin knew that Du Yongxiao was not short of money, so she did not choose an expensive gift. Instead, she chose a Seiko watch that best represented Japanese industrial technology.

Du Yongxiao is now the Commissioner of Police. If he wears a Rolex or Patek Philippe when he goes out, it may attract some unnecessary "gossip", making him like the watch guy and belt guy in his previous life. After all, there will always be people who hate the rich in every era.

That's why Du Yongxiao has always worn this ordinary Seiko watch to appear low-key.

Although Guan Jiahui came from a prominent family and her parents were big stars, she was only sixteen years old after all. She knew a little about the three treasures of a man, but she didn't know that Du Yongxiao's suit was actually very valuable, but his watch was really ordinary.

“Hehe, you have a strong ability of observation. Oh, by the way, do you know that the current Commissioner of Police of Hong Kong——” Du Yongxiao wanted to remind the other party.

Unexpectedly, Guan Jiahui interrupted him again and said, "Don't mention these things, because I hate the police the most."

"Uh, why?"

"Because they gave me a ticket." Guan Jiahui pointed to the sports car parked outside. "My little cutie has been given several tickets for traffic violations. I'm so worried."

Du Yongxiao glanced at the pink sedan outside and said, "Your pink is too conspicuous. It will be hard for the police not to see it even if they want to..."

"Uh, really?" Guan Jiahui took a look at her beloved car. "Is it very conspicuous? No wonder so many people stare at me when I get on the road. But I really like this feeling——"

Du Yongxiao could understand it. How many girls of her age didn't like vanity and dislike being noticed?

"Okay, I won't say anything else. I don't mind that your family is poor, and I don't mind that you don't have a job—"

"Ahem, I didn't say I didn't have a job, why are you——"

"I mean it's okay even if you don't have a job, I'll support you."

"Ah, you support me?" Du Yongxiao pointed at his nose, looking surprised, "You are sixteen years old, and you support me, who is twenty-five?"

"Yes!" Guan Jiahui nodded seriously, "Don't be embarrassed, our family is rich, and I am the only daughter of my parents. I have several thousand pocket money every month. At most, I can treat you to a meal and a movie, and we can talk about it later."

"Why are you doing this?"

"Why? Maybe it's because..." Guan Jiahui blushed, glanced at Du Yongxiao and said, "This is fate!"

When Du Yongxiao saw Guan Jiahui's expression, he thought to himself, "What a fate! It's obvious that you are coveting my beauty!"

"So what should we do next?" Du Yongxiao planned to cut the Gordian knot.

"It's a date. How about we have dinner and watch a movie together tomorrow?"

"Okay!" Du Yongxiao made a decision to make a random appointment tomorrow and make the other party hate him for taking the initiative to propose Goodbye.

"Then we have a deal."

"it is good."

"Hook your finger."

"Uh?"

Guan Jiahui had already taken the initiative to extend her little finger to hook Du Yongxiao's finger: "Let's make a pinky promise and never change it for a hundred years."

Du Yongxiao shook his head and thought, "How childish."

……

Central,

Headquarters Police Station.

"Director, this is the specific situation. You will have a meeting with the Governor and others tomorrow. I have organized the content of the discussion into a document for you. You just need to take a look."

Datou Wen handed the documents in his hand to Du Yongxiao and talked about tomorrow's schedule.

Ever since Huang Ying resigned and joined Ming Pao as a strong woman, Du Yongxiao no longer had a confidential secretary, so he often brought in big-name reporters to fill the gap.

On the one hand, it was to train Datou Wen and let him make a push for advancement. After all, he had just returned from training at Scotland Yard, and his actual ability would have to be considered before he could be promoted. The most likely position was assistant to the director.

On the other hand, Du Yongxiao was very careful and was not confident about those foreign female secretaries. Because the director's secretary had to be appointed by the Governor's Office, to put it bluntly, it was to place spies around him.

Du Yongxiao would rather have this position vacant for one more day than be watched. "By the way, Director! Are you really going to let the Li family go?" Datou Wen closed the file in his hand and asked Du Yongxiao softly.

"Even Mr. Shao has come out to intercede. If you want to touch the Li family now, you will have to tear each other apart—" Du Yongxiao stood up and paced with his hands behind his back, "Besides, I guess Li Zhaoheng will not be honest. He won't learn his lesson even if he is slapped in the face."

Datou Wen smiled: "I understand what you mean. Let the surnamed Li take the initiative, so that we can have a legitimate reason to fight."

"That's right. Li Zhaoheng was drooling over my Tsuen Wan production line, but he didn't know that I was also drooling over their huge Li family business."

Du Yongxiao's eyes revealed a hint of viciousness: "The Li family made their fortune by selling opium. Those industries are full of the blood of our people. If I don't swallow up the Li family, wouldn't I be letting down God?"

Datouwen took a step forward and said, "So what's next——"

"Let's start with Li's Real Estate." Du Yongxiao said lightly.

"Li's Real Estate?" Datou Wen was stunned. "That's a huge company."

Du Yongxiao glanced at Datou Wen and said, "You are a policeman, not a businessman. You don't understand this. Yan Xiong is the best at this kind of thing—"

Datouwen scratched his head and said, "That's right. Yan Xiong is very good at business now. Even Luo Ge and the others are far behind him."

Speaking of Lei Luo, Du Yongxiao couldn't help but feel a little touched.

Now Lei Luo, Lan Gang and Han Sen continue to control the Huaqing Gang in Canada.

The Huaqing Gang also changed from a simple social organization to a commercial organization, investing in Canadian real estate, hotel and tourism service industries, etc. However, compared with Yan Xiong, the three of them combined are still a little weaker.

The reason is that Yan Xiong was brought up by Du Yongxiao.

After all, Yan Xiong didn't call him "godfather" for nothing, Du Yongxiao should at least give him enough benefits.

Yan Xiong is now a well-known entertainment tycoon. He is in charge of PolyGram Records and is also one of the representatives of Hollywood Paramount MGM Group.

In addition, after Yan Xiong returned to Hong Kong, he occasionally had to help Du Yongxiao manage Hengchuang Real Estate. Originally, Hengchuang Real Estate was managed by Liu Jianxiong and Bai Yingjun, but now that they are developing in Japan, Yan Xiong has to take on multiple roles.

If it were someone else, they would have been exhausted from taking on so many tasks, but Yan Xiong enjoyed it. He felt that Du Yongxiao trusted him very much and that he was very important to the Du Group.

And Du Yongxiao also gave him enough practical benefits. Cars, houses, money were secondary. The most important thing was status and position.

In other words, even the Governor of Hong Kong, Murray MacLehose, has to show some courtesy to Yan Xiong now.

This is completely different from when Yan Xiong was a Chinese detective. Although he was one of the four major detectives at that time, he still had to fawn on foreigners when he saw them. It's not like now, when many foreigners would try to curry favor with him when they see him.

Just as Du Yongxiao and Datou Wen were talking, the phone suddenly rang--
Du Yongxiao answered the phone, and it turned out to be his mother Li Cuilian calling.

It turned out that Guan Jiahui called home to look for Du Yongxiao, but Du Yongxiao was not at home, so her mother called to help pass on the message. The content was very simple, just to remind Du Yongxiao not to forget his appointment tomorrow.

"Ah Xiao, what the hell are you doing? If you like that girl, tell her your phone number, so that she won't ask me to pass on messages. It's so awkward for me to be caught in the middle of your relationship..."

"Are you embarrassed? Why do I feel like you're so happy?" Du Yongxiao asked with a smile, "I guess you're already grinning from ear to ear right now?"

"Uh, really? Can you see me? Otherwise how would you know I'm smiling?" Li Cui Lian hurriedly touched her face, wondering if her son had installed some surveillance cameras at home.

"You're my mother, how could I not know you?" Du Yongxiao sighed, "You wish you knew every move I made. I won't leave my office phone number with her. If you have any message, just help pass it on!"

"Well, you said it, so don't tell me I'm annoying when the time comes!"

"No, I'm very happy. An old person in the family is like a treasure."

Du Yongxiao hung up the phone, only to see Datou Wen looking at him stupidly.

Du Yongxiao touched his face and said, "What are you looking at? Is there something wrong with my face?"

"No, Xiao-ge, are you...in love?"

"What do you mean by love? I went on a blind date. My mom forced me to do it."

Datouwen gave a thumbs up: "Sister Lian is really amazing. She allowed you to go on a blind date. How is that girl? Is she worthy of you?"

"Sixteen years old, my parents are big stars, oh, and they are from the Bordered Blue Banner Guarja clan—"

"Qing princess?"

"You can say that, so my mom is very satisfied, and I have no choice but to deal with it."

Snapped!
Datou Wen stood at attention and saluted Du Yongxiao.

"What?"

"I wish you a successful blind date, Brother Xiao!"

"roll!"

……

"No way, Huihui, why are you so proactive this time? You ignored those guys before, but this time you took the initiative to call him to remind him of your date tomorrow. Are you attracted to him?"

The person who said this was Guan Jiahui's good friend Li Xilei, who is of similar age.

Li Xilei's family conditions are also very good. Her father is a senior bank manager and her mother is a university professor. The two grew up together and are now good friends.

Most of the time when Guan Jiahui didn't go home, she would live in Li Xilei's house. Conversely, Li Xilei also liked to live in Guan Jiahui's house. As long as the two of them made a phone call home, their parents would feel relieved.

At this moment, Guan Jiahui was living in Li Xilei's house. The two of them were lying on the soft bed, flipping through celebrity albums and talking.

"How is that possible? I just feel bored and want to date someone." Guan Jiahui chewed bubble gum and tapped her feet. "I'll meet him tomorrow, um, to get to know him better. After all, he was introduced by my parents. You know, my parents are very strict with me. They are afraid that I will be cheated by those gangsters, so they arranged this blind date for me. I will satisfy them first, and when they relax their vigilance, we can go out and have fun like before."

"What the hell are you doing? Have you forgotten that we have to work part-time tomorrow night?"

"Eh? If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have almost forgotten!" Guan Jiahui hurriedly sat up and said seriously, "I must make some money this time, otherwise my parents will say that I only know how to spend money but not earn it!"

"Yes, me too! They keep nagging me, it's so annoying! Let's work longer this time, at least we can earn two thousand, no, seven or eight hundred will be enough!"

The two girls still couldn't bear the hardship and planned to stop after earning 800 yuan.

Even if they work, they do it for their parents to see.

"Oh, I really hope to marry a rich man in the future, so that I won't have to worry about food and clothing, and I don't have to go out to work." Li Xilei lay down again and said to Guan Jiahui.

Guan Jiahui was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and thought to herself: "That Du Yongxiao doesn't seem to be a rich man, wearing a Seiko watch! But he is really handsome - forget it, I'll talk about it when I meet him tomorrow!"
