Hong Kong Comprehensive: The Rise of the King

Outside the Peninsula Hotel.

A luxury motorcade drove slowly, and driving at the front was a Lamborghini with avant-garde and cool styling.

Pedestrians on the roadside saw this scene, and many of them opened their eyes wide. They didn't know which big boss was traveling to create such a grand scene.

Lamborghini stopped on the street.

"Boss, we're here."

After Luo Tianhong finished speaking, he got out of the car and helped Sheng Jiale open the door.

"Tianhong, wait for me here."

Sheng Jiale gave instructions and walked into the Peninsula Hotel.

Since we were having coffee with Huo Xixian, it would be too embarrassing to bring Luo Tianhong and a bunch of younger people to such a personal matter.

Sheng Jiale is not a straight man, so he will naturally not make such a mistake.

Arriving at the hotel lobby, Sheng Jiale was about to get on the elevator when he bumped into the manager of the Peninsula Hotel.

"Mr. Sheng, what a coincidence. Are you coming to our place to meet guests?"

the hotel manager asked solicitously.

Originally, the manager was not so respectful to Sheng Jiale. After all, the Peninsula Hotel is one of the top hotels in Hong Kong Island. The people who come and go every day are upper-class people. We have seen many bosses of various companies. Only those with Huo Jingliang's status can do it. He deserves his utmost respect.

However, Sheng Jiale, Huo Jingliang and Wei Jiacheng had a Man-Han banquet together before, which undoubtedly proved that Sheng Jiale was a member of that circle. Since then, the manager has raised Sheng Jiale's status several levels in his mind, belonging to One of the small group of people who must be treated respectfully when meeting one.

Sheng Jiale nodded, "I made an appointment with Mr. Huo's daughter for coffee."

Upon hearing that Sheng Jiale was here to see Huo Xixian, the manager's eyes suddenly lit up, "You mean Miss Huo?

She is waiting for you at the coffee shop on the third floor. I will take you there. "

"That would be troublesome."

Sheng Jiale didn't refuse. It was convenient for him to have the manager guide him, so he didn't have to worry about searching.

"Look what you said, this is what I should do."

The manager walked into the elevator with Sheng Jiale with a smile on his face.

The two came to the third floor, which was an independent coffee shop. It was very large and occupied the entire floor.

In the best seat of the cafe, Sheng Jiale saw Huo Xixian sitting there.

Huo Xixian's seat is only by the window. Outside is a huge artificial lake and woodland. He can drink coffee and enjoy the scenery outside leisurely.

"Mr. Sheng, Miss Huo is right there. I won't go there."

The manager said, bowed to Sheng Jiale and left.

When young men and women drink coffee together, he can still understand the meaning of it, and he will not be asking for trouble by being a light bulb.

"Although this person is a bit snobbish, he's still okay if he doesn't know how to do things."

Sheng Jiale watched the manager leave and muttered in his heart.

Then he walked towards Huo Xixian.

"Miss Xixian, we meet again."

Sheng Jiale smiled and greeted.

Hearing this, Huo Xixian, who was looking at the scenery outside the window, immediately turned around and saw Sheng Jiale walking towards her, a smile appeared on his originally expressionless face.

"Sheng Jiale, you are finally here."

Huo Xixian's soft voice made Sheng Jiale's ears very comfortable. His hearing was much sharper than that of ordinary people and he was also more sensitive to sounds.

Huo Xixian's unique voice is what attracts Sheng Jiale most to her.

Sheng Jiale smiled and said, "How long have you been here? Are you in a hurry?"

"No, I just arrived."

Huo Xixian shook his head and said.

However, Sheng Jiale glanced at the fruit ice cream on her table. More than half of it had been eaten, and he immediately understood that Huo Xixian had been waiting for him for at least ten minutes.

The cup containing the ice cream was very large. With Huo Xixian's small mouth, it would take more than a few minutes to finish eating more than half of it.

"Sorry, there's a bit of a traffic jam on the road."

Sheng Jiale said casually and sat down opposite Huo Xixian.

After Huo Xixian informed him, he rushed over without any delay, but Huo Xixian still waited for ten minutes. Either she had been here at the Peninsula Hotel, or she went out as quickly as possible after making the phone call.

Judging from the expectation and joy in Huo Xixian's eyes after seeing him, Sheng Jiale guessed that it was probably the second reason.

Generally speaking, it is a common problem for women to be late for a date, but Huo Xixian came early, which is enough to show that he attaches great importance to Sheng Jiale.

Sheng Jiale wanted to understand this, but he didn't point it out. Girls are thin-skinned. If he said this, Huo Xixian would probably blush immediately and deny it incoherently.

"But thinking about it, that situation seems quite interesting."

Sheng Jiale thought in his mind while shaking the seat.

Their seats are not ordinary chairs, but a kind of swing chair.

Different from the cheap hanging chairs in small restaurants or small cafes, the swing hanging chairs here are all made of top-quality materials and are engraved with complicated patterns. It can be seen from some of the unique details that these are not machine-made. It is hand carved.

There are also vines climbing on the hanging chair, with many tiny white flowers in full bloom, dotted like stars.

It may seem a little inappropriate for a man to sit here, but it can bring a great charm bonus to a woman.

Especially for a beauty of Huo Xixian's level, whose physical condition is very good. She is sitting on a hanging chair wrapped with vines, surrounded by white flowers, making her look like a fairy in a painting.

Sheng Jiale looked at other places in the cafe and found that there were only a few of these swing chairs, and they were all in the best positions. The rest were ordinary seats.

"What are you looking at?" Huo Xixian asked curiously.

"I'm looking to see if there is anyone more beautiful than you, Miss Huo."

Sheng Jiale turned around, stared at Huo Xixian and said.

"Then did you find it?"

Sheng Jiale pretended to think, until he saw Huo Xixian's delicate brows frowning slightly, and then said: "Of course not, little fairies can't appear so easily."

Hearing Sheng Jiale praise her, Huo Xixian suddenly smiled like a flower blooming on a high mountain.

Of course, it also depends on who is saying the rainbow fart. If it were someone else, Huo Xixian wouldn't even pay attention to it.

But it's different for Sheng Jiale.

"Xixian, you look so beautiful when you smile." Sheng Jiale said sincerely.

This is not a compliment. To be fair, Huo Xixian's smile just now was the most dazzling smile Sheng Jiale had ever seen.

Hearing this, Huo Xixian's face turned red. He didn't dare to look at Sheng Jiale, so he changed the subject and said, "By the way, what are you drinking?"

"Let me see."

Sheng Jiale followed Huo Xixian's words and immediately picked up the menu on the table.

He doesn't drink coffee often and doesn't know much about coffee.

"Hey, Geisha coffee?"

The first time he opened the menu, Singjiale saw this kind of coffee. It was marked as being produced at Panama Jade Manor and was the world's top coffee.

Of course, the price is also top-notch, with a cup costing 5,000 yuan.

Five thousand yuan for a cup of coffee is equivalent to a month's salary for ordinary people, and it is not necessarily affordable. The annual output is only a few hundred kilograms, and the whole world is rushing to get it.

Its status in coffee is somewhat similar to that of the Wuyi Mountain mother tree Dahongpao in tea.

"Don't even think about it, Geisha. I just asked and it's out of stock." Huo Xixian reminded, with a rather regretful tone.

Hearing this, Sheng Jiale shrugged and didn't care. He wasn't interested in coffee to begin with, so it didn't matter if he could drink the best coffee in the world.

Below Geisha coffee is civet coffee, produced in India, which is also commonly known as cat poop coffee.

And the price is equally expensive, five hundred yuan for one time.

Sheng Jiale thought about it. He had heard of the name of cat poop coffee many years ago, but he never made up his mind to try it.

After all, it is a tasteful name.

"I recommend you order the civet coffee, it has a very unique taste."

Huo Xixian suggested.

Sheng Jiale thought about it, took a deep breath, and made a decision.

He raised his hand and called the waiter.

"Two cups of civet coffee, thank you."

"Okay sir, please wait a moment."

The waiter said respectfully.

"I just suggested that you drink it. I didn't say that I wanted to drink it too. I also wanted to drink something else." Huo Xixian said dissatisfiedly, holding his chin on his arm.

The Sheng family smiled happily, thinking that for such a dangerous thing, of course they had to bring Huo Xixian along to be safe.

But of course he wouldn't say that.

“When two people meet, of course it’s appropriate to drink the same coffee.”

Sheng Jiale said with a smile.

Hearing this, Huo Xixian's face turned red again, and he immediately forgot about drinking other coffee.

"Sir, your coffee."

The waiter quickly came over with two cups of fragrant coffee and placed them in front of Sheng Jiale and Huo Xixian.

"It smells good."

Sheng Jiale sniffed it, and it was completely different from the weird smell he imagined, but a special aroma.

"It tastes better." Huo Xixian said, picking up the coffee, blowing on it gently and taking a sip.

Seeing that she had no strange reaction, Sheng Jiale also picked up the cup.

grunt.

Sheng Jiale was not afraid of the heat and took a big sip.

Immediately afterwards, the coffee liquid in his mouth exploded with a rich and unique taste. This taste was completely different from other coffees that Sing Jiale had come into contact with in the past.

Sheng Jiale swallowed the coffee and nodded slightly, "It tastes really good."

At this time, his prejudice against civet coffee has been completely eliminated.

With his keen sense of taste, the coffee he could taste was very clean and there was no unspeakable dirt in it.

Huo Xixian snorted softly, "Of course, you have to trust my taste. It's a pity that their Geisha coffee is out of stock, otherwise that one would be the best."

Sheng Jiale suddenly felt yearned for it.

"Huh? Sheng Jiale!? Xixian!?"

At this time, a surprised voice sounded.

Then a beautiful figure sped up and ran over, "Why are you here?"

It was Meng Xue who spoke. She looked at Huo Xixian and Sheng Jiale in surprise.

"Do you know?"

Sheng Jiale and Huo Xixian said to Meng Xue at the same time. Only then did they realize that the other party seemed to be friends with Meng Xue.

"My dad and her dad are friends, so of course I know Heehyun."

Meng Xue explained to Sheng Jiale first.

Sheng Jiale nodded. It was Meng Dahai who introduced him to Huo Jingliang. It was normal for Meng Xue and Huo Xixian to be friends.

After Meng Xue finished speaking, she looked at Huo Xixian again, "My dad and Sheng Jiale are partners. Isn't it strange that I know him?"

Huo Xixian also nodded.

"I just answered you, but you two haven't said anything yet. Why are you here?"

Meng Xue looked back and forth between Sheng Jiale and Huo Xixian, as if looking for any clues.

"I have nothing to do. I happened to see Sheng Jiale nearby, so let's have a cup of coffee together."

Huo Xixian was the first to speak, and after speaking, he gave Sheng Jiale a wink.

Sheng Jiale immediately understood and said, "Yes, it's a coincidence. First I met Xixian, and then I met you, hahaha."

"is it?"

Meng Xue didn't believe it.

"Don't think so much. Now that you're here, let's sit down and drink coffee together."

Huo Xixian said and pulled Meng Xue to her side.

Sheng Jiale called the waiter and ordered another cup of civet coffee.

Meng Xue looked at the expressions of the two of them and found no flaws, so she stopped thinking about it and said, "Xixian, when did you return to Hong Kong Island, why didn't you inform me."

Huo Xixian smiled awkwardly, "Just what happened in the past few days, I was busy dealing with various things when I came back, so I forgot about it."

"Okay, we have been friends for so many years and we can forget about it. You are so boring."

Meng Xue said with her hands on her waist.

"I will make it up to you someday."

Huo Xixian said hurriedly.

"That's pretty much it." Meng Xue snorted lightly.

Then the three of them drank coffee and chatted.

The atmosphere was much more lively than when Sheng Jiale and Sheng Jiale were together.

It's just that Huo Xixian had some regrets in his heart. He finally got along with Sheng Jiale, but in the end, Meng Xue interfered.

"Would you like to go to a movie?"

After finishing the coffee, Sheng Jiale suggested.

"Yeah!"

Meng Xue was the first to agree, clapping her hands and cheering.

Huo Xixian also nodded, "It's all up to you."

After saying this, Huo Xixian immediately realized something was wrong and hurriedly covered his mouth.

"It's all up to you", this kind of words is not something that can be said between ordinary friends of the opposite sex. It is more common between male and female friends.

Fortunately, Meng Xue didn't seem to care, and Huo Xixian breathed a sigh of relief.

"Okay, let's go."

Sheng Jiale stood up and left the coffee shop with the two girls.

The Peninsula Hotel does not have a public cinema, but it does have entertainment facilities, including a small private cinema.

After the three of them entered the theater, Sheng Jiale chose a movie called "The Shawshank Redemption."

From Sheng Jiale's point of view, many of the movies of the 1990s can't be watched. Either the plots are too childish or the special effects are too bad. Only some classic movies can be watched.

Women naturally lack interest in this kind of movie. Sheng Jiale watched it with gusto, while Meng Xue and Huo Xixian were a little bored.

The two immediately started gossiping.

"Xiaoxue, do you like Sheng Jiale?"

Huo Xixian suddenly asked.

Meng Xue was stunned for a moment, then she concealed her expression and pretended to be relaxed: "Really? Don't spread rumors. I'm still a young girl. It wouldn't be good if these words get out."

Huo Xixian laughed softly and said, "Come on, the way you look at Sheng Jiale is wrong, and you still want to lie to me?"

Meng Xue was speechless for a moment, and then she rolled her eyes and asked, "I think you are a bad person who complained first. It's obviously you who is interested in Sheng Jiale."

"I don't have any, don't talk nonsense." Huo Xixian hurriedly denied.

"Stop pretending. In the coffee shop before, Sheng Jiale suggested going to the movies. What were you talking about? I could hear you clearly."

Meng Xue said with a proud face, happy that she had found Huo Xixian's flaw.

"I, I, I just said it casually. I didn't mean anything else at all. You're overthinking it."

Huo Xixian stuttered as he explained.

She didn't expect that Meng Xue heard her words "It's all up to you."

On the side, listening to the conversation between the two women, Sheng Jiale shook his head helplessly.

Although both of them lowered their voices, he could still hear them clearly.

Of course, Sheng Jiale had no intention of going over and interjecting. Expressing any opinion at this time would be suicidal. He felt it was safest to concentrate on watching the movie.

After more than an hour, the movie ended.

Meng Xue and Huo Xixian were also tired of gossiping, and both looked a little tired.

In this hour, the two of them broke down each other's stories, which consumed more energy than doing a Mathematical Olympiad paper.

"What's wrong with you?"

Sheng Jiale had a smile on his face and asked knowingly.

"fine."

The two of them waved their hands at the same time and said.

"Okay then, I'll take you home."

Sheng Jiale took the opportunity to say that he originally planned to go shopping, but the two of them were so tired that they just skipped this step.

The three of them walked out of the cinema and outside the Peninsula Hotel.

Luo Tianhong and the other boys were still waiting here. When they saw Sheng Jiale coming out, they all stood up straight.

"Tianhong, go and drive a business Benz and send Miss Meng and Miss Xixian home first."

Sheng Jiale ordered.

"Good boss."

Luo Tianhong ran over and opened the door of the Mercedes-Benz business car, letting Sheng Jiale and the other two people get in the car.

Then he sat in the driver's seat and started the vehicle.

The convoy left the Peninsula Hotel.

After sending Meng Xue and Huo Xixian home, Sheng Jiale returned to Qiangsheng Entertainment City.

dong dong dong.

There was a knock on the office door.

"Come in."

Tony opened the door and walked in. The first thing he saw was Sheng Jiale's back.

At this time, Sheng Jiale had his back turned to him, standing in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, looking outside, as if observing the pedestrians below.

"Boss." Tony shouted.

"what's up?"

Sheng Jiale said without turning back.

"You asked me to investigate Yu Shuntian, and the matter has come to an end."

"Oh?"

Sheng Jiale turned around and said with great interest: "Tell me what the result will be."

Tony opened a document he was holding.

"Boss, according to my research, Yu Shuntian is a new financial genius in Hong Kong Island in the past few years, and he is also a famous philanthropist.

It has three listed companies in its hands, each of which is large in scale and has substantial assets under its name, in addition to a large amount of cash.

He also purchased multiple properties on Hong Kong Island, including luxury villas, office buildings, etc. "

After hearing what Tony said, Sheng Jiale nodded slightly and said, "You are indeed very powerful. No wonder you dare to go head-to-head with Ksitigarbha."

"Boss, do we still want to take action against Yu Shuntian?"

Tony asked, Yu Shuntian was very powerful, and he would have to pay a heavy price if he took action.

"Of course we have to move. A gentleman's words are hard to follow. I promised Ksitigarbha to help him teach Yu Shuntian a lesson. If I give up now, wouldn't I be breaking my promise?"

The Sheng family smiled happily and said, "But when dealing with Yu Shuntian, we have to change our thinking."

"What do you mean?" Tony didn't know why.

Sheng Jiale didn't explain, and said directly: "Go and call Tianhong in."

"Good boss."

Tony walked out of the office and called Luo Tianhong in.

"Boss, are you looking for me?"

Sheng Jiale hummed and said, "Tianhong, help me make an appointment with Mr. Huo, and tell him that I will wait for him at the Royal Horse Racing Club tomorrow and let's watch the Marseille together."

"I understand, boss, I'll go right away."

Luo Tianhong agreed. He always acted vigorously and resolutely, so he immediately turned around and left.

"Tony, you can go down too."

Sheng Jiale waved his hand.

"Okay." After Tony said this, he walked out of the office and closed the door gently.

In the office, Sheng Jiale put his feet on the desk and looked at the sky outside through the transparent glass wall.

A sneer curled up at the corner of his mouth.

"Yu Shuntian, I want to see how arrogant you are this time."

Yu Shuntian has a high social status and is a philanthropist with great social influence.

To deal with him, Sheng Jiale cannot use violent force to deal with him.

However, Sheng Jiale can also use Huo Jingliang's identity to take action, and it is not difficult to attack Yu Shuntian. (End of chapter)
