Hong Kong Comprehensive: The Rise of the King

Wait until the afternoon.

After the ribbon-cutting ceremony, the opening celebration is coming to an end.

Sheng Jiale and Huo Jingliang were chatting in the hall.

"Mr. Huo, thank you for coming to support me this time."

Sheng Jiale said with a smile.

"As for our friendship, don't use these polite words." Huo Jingliang waved his hand.

Sheng Jia smiled happily and said, "I like the calligraphy painting you gave me very much. I will have it framed and hung in the company headquarters later."

"As long as you like it, don't waste my time in vain."

When Huo Jingliang heard what Sheng Jiale said, a smile appeared on his face.

His calligraphy is not given away casually. Over the years, only a handful of people in Hong Kong have received his calligraphy.

From here we can see how much Huo Jingliang attaches great importance to Sheng Jiale.

At this time, Huo Jingliang's secretary walked over quickly and whispered: "Boss, something happened."

Huo Jingliang nodded and said apologetically to Sheng Jiale, "Mr. Sheng, please excuse me."

"If Mr. Huo has something to do, just go and deal with it, don't worry about me."

Sheng Jiale said.

Huo Jingliang immediately stood up and followed his secretary to the corner of the hall.

"What's the matter?" Huo Jingliang asked.

"Boss, I just received a call. The eldest lady is coming back from Canada today, and Greyhound will soon arrive at the Hong Kong Island Airport."

The secretary said respectfully.

"Xixian is coming back?" Huo Jingliang had a look of surprise on his face.

"Yes, if we go to the airport now, we can pick him up in time."

Upon hearing this, Huo Jingliang immediately ordered urgently: "Go and prepare the car. Mr. Sheng and I will say goodbye and go over."

"Good boss."

The secretary agreed and walked out of the hall.

Huo Jingliang found Sheng Jiale and said, "Mr. Sheng, I have something to do temporarily and I can't stay with you here."

"It doesn't matter. I'm very happy that Mr. Huo can come. If there is anything, I'll deal with it first.

But it looks like it should be a good thing, right? "

Sheng Jiale asked curiously.

He saw the undisguised joy of "550" on Huo Jingliang's face, which was rare. In the past, Huo Jingliang had a dull expression that showed no emotion or anger.

Huo Jingliang laughed and said, "My daughter is back from the University of California and will be arriving at the airport soon. I'm going to pick her up."

Sheng Jiale understood this as soon as he heard this, and thought to himself that no wonder Huo Jingliang was so happy, it turned out that his precious daughter had returned to China.

"In that case, I won't keep you longer, so as not to delay the pick-up time."

Sheng Jiale said.

"Okay, I'll leave first and let you get to know my daughter another day."

Huo Jingliang said and hurriedly left the hall.

Sheng Jiale looked at Huo Jingliang's eager back and shook his head helplessly.

He understood Huo Jingliang's mood at the moment. They said that a daughter is his father's little cotton-padded jacket. Compared to a son, a father's feelings for his daughter are indeed more exposed.

"Mr. Huo, what is this?"

Big D came over and asked.

"I have something to do at home, so I'll go back first."

Sheng Jiale did not go into too much detail and explained simply.

"That's right." Big D nodded thoughtfully.

Sheng Jiale didn't know what Big D was thinking, so he picked up the wine glass on the side and said, "Come on, let's have a few more drinks."

It happened that Zhou Chaoxian also came over, and Sheng Jiale put the wine glass into his hand, "Mr. Zhou, it's not easy for you to come to Hong Kong Island. You must have a few more drinks today."

"Okay, since Mr. Sheng is interested, I will accompany him to the end."

Zhou Chaoxian was unambiguous, took the wine glass and said.

The three of them arrived at the wine table and drank together.

After the opening ceremony, Sheng Jiale got into the business Mercedes-Benz.

Luo Tianhong sat in the driver's seat and turned around and asked, "Boss, are you going back to the entertainment city?"

"Don't go back yet."

Sheng Jiale shook his head.

"Where to go?" Luo Tianhong asked.

"Go to Master Ding's apartment. I haven't visited Master Ding for a while. I'm going to visit him today."

Sheng Jiale said leisurely.

Master Ding was of great help to him. During several large-scale conflicts, Master Ding helped suppress the police behind the scenes. Otherwise, how could he have developed so smoothly.

Apart from anything else, if it hadn't been for Ding Ye's help that time in Causeway Bay, Sheng Jiale's manpower wouldn't have been able to attack Hong Xing's short mule so easily.

Therefore, both emotionally and rationally, Sheng Jiale had reasons to visit Master Ding.

It's just that on weekdays, even if Sheng Jiale is thoughtful, he can't just come.

After all, you still have to pay attention to the impact. If he walks around Dingye's place too frequently and is captured by various paparazzi, it will be troublesome to publicize it.

"I understand, boss."

Luo Tianhong nodded, turned the steering wheel, and drove in the direction of Dingye's apartment.

"By the way, Tianhong, have you prepared the things I asked you to prepare before?"

Sheng Jiale suddenly remembered something and asked.

Of course, you can't go empty-handed when you go to see Master Ding. Sheng Jiale asked Luo Tianhong to prepare a gift before that.

"Don't worry, boss, the gift has been prepared and it's in the trunk."

Luo Tianhong replied.

"That's good."

Sheng Jiale felt relieved.

The business Benz sped by on the road and soon arrived at the downstairs of Dingye's apartment.

"Wait for me in the car."

Sheng Jiale ordered Luo Tianhong.

After all, Master Ding is getting older, and Luo Tianhong's blue hair may not be pleasing to his eyes, so Sheng Jiale won't let him go up and cause trouble for Master Ding.

"Boss, gift."

Luo Tianhong nodded and handed the gift prepared for Master Ding to Sheng Jiale.

Shengjiale took it and found that the gift was packed in a gorgeous brocade box. The tactile surface was covered with deep black patterns.

This box alone is worth a lot of money.

After people looked at it, they couldn't help but wonder what the value of the gifts inside would be.

This was specially requested by Sheng Jiale. As someone who has experienced the Internet era, he knows the concept of packaging very clearly.

The gift itself is naturally important, but the packaging is equally important, even a bit more important than the gift itself.

After all, when people first look at it, the first thing they notice is the packaging.

No matter how good the gift is, if you just get a few rolls of tattered newspapers in a package, it won't make people feel much better.

"Well done, thank you for your hard work."

Sheng Jiale patted Luo Tianhong on the shoulder and said.

"You should work for the boss." Luo Tianhong smiled.

Sheng Jiale nodded, then opened the brocade box and looked at it. There were two ginseng roots lying quietly inside.

However, unlike the common images of ginseng on TV or in books, these two ginseng roots are not just white and fat, but wrinkled, thin and small, and covered with tiny roots. They are densely packed and look like two dried ginseng roots. of radish.

But seeing this, Sheng Jiale's eyes lit up, "Good thing, I actually got two wild ginseng. How old are these?"

Sheng Jiale's original request was to get two ginseng. As for whether it was wild or farmed, he didn't really care. After all, it was just to express his feelings, and Master Ding wouldn't care about it.

But he didn't expect Luo Tianhong to give him a surprise.

"The two-hundred-year-old ones were collected by me from the ginseng pickers in Changbai Mountain."

Luo Tianhong replied.

Sheng Jiale nodded slightly, "Tianhong, you have done a great job in this matter. Master Ding will definitely like these two 200-year-old wild ginseng."

Although wild ginseng doesn't look good, its efficacy is far stronger than that of farmed ginseng, let alone one that is two hundred years old. In today's environment, it is almost a rare treasure.

Especially for an elderly person like Mr. Ding, it is a much-desired tonic. If you take it for a long time, it will definitely prolong your life.

After saying that, Sheng Jiale closed the brocade box again, turned around and entered the apartment.

dong dong dong.

Sheng Jiale curled up his index finger and gently knocked on the door.

"Who?"

Dingye's old voice sounded inside.

"Master Ding, it's me, Sheng Jiale." Sheng Jiale replied.

"Huh? Sheng Jiale? What kind of wind brought you here?" Mr. Ding made a sound, then quickened his pace and opened the door.

Seeing Sheng Jiale standing at the door, Master Ding smiled kindly and said, "Stop standing and come in quickly."

"Then I'll excuse you."

Sheng Jiale walked in and changed into slippers in the foyer.

At this time, Master Ding noticed the brocade box in Sheng Jiale's hand and shook his head, "Come on if you want. Bring any gifts. I don't lack anything here."

"You are an elder. It would be inappropriate for you to come empty-handed when I come to see you."

The Sheng family smiled happily and sat down on the sofa.

"Why do you insist so much on me?"

Master Ding was talking, but it could be seen that he was very happy about Sheng Jiale's arrival and the gifts he had prepared.

"I remember that you like to drink tea. Someone just sent some Wuyi Mountain mother tree Dahongpao some time ago. I will brew it for you."

Ding Ye said, going to get tea.

Sheng Jiale's eyes lit up when he heard about the Wuyi Mountain Mother Tree Dahongpao.

He immediately stood up and said, "Master Ding, please rest. I'll just make the tea."

"Okay, the tea sets are in the cabinet. Go get them."

Master Ding did not refuse and continued on the sofa.

Sheng Jiale walked to the cabinet and saw through the transparent window glass a set of exquisite tea sets placed inside. The tea cups were not ordinary porcelain, but made of translucent material, and each one was printed with beautiful words. Gorgeous pattern.

"Colorful glass lamp?"

Sheng Jiale recognized this set of tea cups. These were not modern products, but antiques that were hundreds of years old.

Sheng Jiale was amazed in his heart, thinking that Ding Ye lived a life that was unrestrained and unrestrained. On the surface, he was very low-key, but in the details, he showed what true luxury is.

However, Sheng Jiale's attention was quickly attracted by the tea can on the side.

As the distance approached, his keen sense of smell could already smell the faint fragrance wafting out of the tea can.

He hadn't smelled the scent of the Wuyi Mountain mother tree Dahongpao for a long time.

This thing is the highest quality tea. The annual production is measured in grams. It is a rare item that even the rich can't buy.

Shengjiale had obtained some before, but unfortunately, it was almost finished when we came back from Haojiang, and it was completely emptied within a few days of drinking.

Sheng Jiale opened the tea can and took a deep breath when he saw a small amount of tea leaves piled inside.

"Good tea."

Sheng Jiale praised.

Master Ding chuckled, "It seems you know a lot about tea."

"I understand a little bit, I understand a little bit."

Sheng Jiale took out a handful of tea leaves and put them into the teapot.

Then pour in scalding boiling water.

laugh.

The moment the boiling water touches the tea leaves, a rich aroma spreads.

For a time, the whole room was filled with the fragrance of tea, which was refreshing.

"Master Ding, please have some tea."

Sheng Jiale poured a cup of tea for Mr. Ding and put it on the coffee table.

Then he picked up the colorful glass cup and poured himself a cup.

He sniffed through his nose, raised his head and drank all the tea.

The extremely hot tea is like a stream of fire, rolling down the esophagus and falling into the stomach bag. 0

"Comfortable."

Sheng Jiale exhaled a hot breath and felt that his limbs and bones were soaked in this heat.

"you."

Ding Ye on the side looked a little dumbfounded.

This was the first time he saw someone drinking tea like this. He drank the nearly boiling tea without even blowing it.

"Are you okay?" Master Ding asked worriedly.

"It's okay, very good."

Sheng Jia smiled happily and explained: "I have rough skin and thick flesh, and tea at this temperature cannot burn me."

Master Ding looked at Sheng Jiale, who had a normal expression, and nodded slowly.

He blew the tea in his hand and asked, "What's in your box?"

Upon hearing this, Sheng Jiale immediately became energetic.

"I was about to tell Master Ding that this is a good thing."

Sheng Jiale took the brocade box into his hand and said.

"Good stuff? Haha, open it quickly and let me take a look." Master Ding's curiosity was aroused and he urged.

At his position, there are not many things that can catch his eye.

Sheng Jiale smiled slightly and opened the brocade box.

Two shriveled and ugly wild ginseng sticks immediately caught Ding Ye’s eyes.

"Wild ginseng?"

Dingye's tone increased a few degrees and he said in surprise: "It's really a good thing."

Wild ginseng is very precious, especially for older people. It is a rare tonic that can make up for the gradually depleted blood and energy.

Then Master Ding noticed a lot of abnormal roots, frowned, and asked, "Why are there so many roots?"

"Wait, could it be..." Master Ding suddenly remembered something.

The age identification of wild ginseng is very complicated, but the most intuitive manifestation is the roots. The older the ginseng is, the more roots there are.

"Master Ding, these are two 200-year-old wild ginseng. They were obtained from Changbai Mountain."

Sheng Jiale said slowly.

Upon hearing this, Master Ding's eyes widened immediately, and then the expression of excitement spread gradually on his old face.

"Okay! This is a great gift. I like it very much!"

Master Ding patted Sheng Jiale on the shoulder and said happily: "Sheng Jiale, you are serious."

As people age, it is inevitable that they will have some minor problems.

Ding Ye was no exception. His personal doctor also suggested that he get some wild ginseng to supplement his health whenever he could.

The two 200-year-old wild ginseng in front of me is worth far more than the mother tree Dahongpao in Wuyi Mountain.

After all, the latter is produced every year, but wild ginseng is a rare treasure, and it is increasingly rare.

"Master Ding has helped me so much, so it is only right that I prepare these for you."

Sheng Jiale smiled.

Master Ding also smiled. The more he looked at Sheng Jiale, the more he liked it.

Hong Kong Island International Airport.

A motorcade arrived at the airport gate, led by an extended Lincoln.

Huo Jingliang got out of the car and walked into the airport with a group of bodyguards, secretaries and others behind him.

"It's almost time, why hasn't Xixian come out yet?"

Huo Jingliang looked at his watch, looking anxious.

"Boss, the greyhound has just arrived. The lady is probably getting off the greyhound, please wait a moment."

the secretary said.

Huo Jingliang nodded, patiently.

Three minutes later, a beautiful figure appeared in his field of vision.

Huo Xixian is young, with black hair hanging down around his waist, two slender and straight thighs, and excellent body proportions. 0.4

"Xixian, here." Huo Jingliang waved to her.

Huo Xixian twisted his waist tightly and walked towards Huo Jingliang.

"dad."

Arriving in front of Huo Jingliang, Huo Xixian threw himself directly into his arms.

Huo Jingliang hugged his daughter with a happy smile on his face.

"Baby girl, you have finally returned to China. I almost miss you."

Huo Jingliang behaved completely differently in front of his daughter. If someone who knew Huo Jingliang saw that he had such a face, their jaws would probably drop.

Huo Jingliang carried Huo Xixian's luggage and took her out of the airport and into the Lincoln car.

The father and daughter reunited after a long absence, and it seemed like they had endless things to say.

Especially Huo Xixian, who chatted for a long time about interesting things in Canada.

Huo Jingliang always smiled and listened.

After Huo Xixian came to an end, Huo Jingliang spoke slowly and said slowly: "Actually, Hong Kong Island has changed a lot in recent years. You should take a good look around when you come back."

After saying that, Huo Jingliang thought of someone and added: "By the way, there is a young man I admire very much recently. I will introduce you to him some other time. It just so happens that you are going to do business in Hong Kong Island. You two can become very good friends." Partner."

"Who can get such a good comment from dad?" Huo Xixian asked in surprise.

She knew Huo Jingliang and would not easily comment on others like this.

Huo Jingliang chuckled, "His name is Sheng Jiale, and he is the chairman of Qiangsheng Group." (End of Chapter)
