Brilliant Years 1991

Chapter 150 Great Luck!
Another quarrel.

When Guo Chaoqiong went downstairs, she took great effort to suppress her inner dissatisfaction and resentment, and tried her best to face the many guests and friends who came today with a smile.

She is the eldest daughter of the Guo family and has been brought up according to the strictest standards since childhood.

She wouldn't allow anyone to see her weakness at this moment.

What a coincidence, just after going downstairs, I met that loser again at the corner - his name was Xu Quanheng. His grandfather was a famous shipping tycoon in the red sky in the 1960s. He had a very good relationship with the then Asian shipping tycoon Pao Yue-kong and his own grandfather. He was a well-known figure in Hong Kong Island. As for his father, he and his own father were childhood friends who grew up together and had a close friendship.

The two families are absolutely well matched.

And know the root and the bottom.

If nothing unexpected happens - in fact, there is no chance of any accident, Daddy probably knows very well that no matter how much I object or how angry I am, I will not really go against his words.

My upbringing doesn't allow me to do that.

So, probably we’ll get engaged this year and get married next year or the year after.

I will change my name to Xu Guo Chaoqiong.

Then she would go to the Xu family's company to gain experience for a year or two, and slowly take over the business of that company. In addition to giving birth to children for the Xu family, she would also help them manage the company and take care of that loser for the rest of her life.

Oh, this is my mission in this life!
Just because the two families have been friends for generations, and the friendship has been passed down from generation to generation.

But...I really hate it when I see his face.

Although he looks gentle and refined on the surface, he is actually not only timid and cowardly, but also stupid and incompetent - being timid is understandable, being cautious is not wrong, but stupidity is really unbearable.

Pansy Kwok would rather he be greedy and fierce than timid and stupid!
Even if he could retain a little bit of the courage and wisdom in the blood of his ancestors, Guo Chaoqiong would be willing to tolerate him for the rest of his life just because he has a pretty face.

However...what can we do?

Don't you want to endure it, but you still have to endure it? Don't you want to admit it, but you still have to admit it?
Haha, this is probably the fate that grandpa talked about back then.

As the daughter of the Guo family, this is my fate.

After finally dealing with so many elders and uncles, she was finally able to quietly dodge away and slip away, giving herself a moment to breathe and calm her extremely bad mood.

Today's dessert was pretty good.

OK, after eating a small piece of cake, I felt much better.

Yes, this is my fate, so let it be. The worst that can happen is that I can raise him as my son for his whole life and just pretend that I have no man - what else can I do?
Suddenly, I saw a man.

I couldn't help but be stunned at the first sight - this man is so handsome. Just looking at his profile, I feel that he is really heroic. He is more than 1.8 meters tall, and every move reveals a fierce aura.

I couldn't help but stare at him.

Ah, this man looks a bit like the star who was very popular back then, named John Lone, but he is not as feminine as John Lone. His height and figure are also much more muscular than he was back then - Ah, he's looking here!

What a sharp look!
But the smile seemed quite warm - his accent was a little strange, but he actually called himself a "mainland boy". I don't know why, but just the word "mainland boy" made me suddenly find it a little funny, and I burst out laughing for no apparent reason.

Ah, that's great. He seemed very frank. He knew that the people of Hongkong liked to use the slightly derogatory term "mainlanders" to refer to those who came from the mainland, but he actually thought that this term was very accurate.

That’s a great idea.

A feeling of neither servility nor overbearance.

That's what men should be like!

Although Guo Chaoqiong himself does not like the term "mainland boy" which is obviously a derogatory term for a certain group, he actually thinks that what the man named Cao Yukun said is right. The term "mainland boy" itself should not be derogatory.

You see, as long as you don’t feel inferior, what’s wrong with calling yourself a “mainlander”?
How can those sarcastic people hurt you in the slightest?
It's an attitude that makes people can't help but admire it!

Oh, so he is a friend of Jin Zhijian and Jin Sheng of CITIC Pacific. This makes sense. To some extent, Jin Sheng is also from the mainland. However, his family background is so profound that if you go back fifty years, the so-called rich and powerful people in today's Hong Kong are not even worthy of carrying shoes for his ancestors, so no one dares to call him such a contemptuous name.

It’s just…not the right age.

Although he looked calm and mature, he actually looked a bit immature. He was probably no older than himself, probably the same age at most, so he should call Jinsheng uncle. So he was definitely not an old relative or friend, but probably a new friend.

That's strange - Jin Sheng has made great progress in just over ten years since he came to Hongkong. He is no longer just a small-time figure who runs a small electronics factory. He is now a business tycoon in Hongkong. Cao Yukun is so young. If he is not related to old friends and relatives, how can he be related to Jin Sheng? And he was brought to his father's birthday party, and he wanted to introduce him to friends?
Oh, wow... a mouthful of sour and sweet plums...

This is a very popular drink in Hongkong in the past one or two months. It is so popular that even my dad asked someone to buy some. After tasting it, he smiled and said, "This company has a marketing expert!"

It’s actually his company!
But it was obvious that even if he was introduced to his daddy, his daddy probably wouldn't call him a "marketing expert" in person - his daddy was always a harsh person.

He has a good sense of humor.

Oh, he’s from Zhejiang Province and his family is a farmer. He actually just started learning how to do business this year. The reason was that he acquired a beverage factory that was on the verge of bankruptcy.

And his first idea was to run to Hongkong to sell his drinks!
Wow, this person is truly... a genius!
Ah...he is only nineteen years old!

He is actually five years younger than me!
Look at him, he was only 19 years old, but he dared to come to Hongkong from the mainland to do business alone, and he became famous after the listing - I am already 24 years old, but I can only stay in my own company and get a salary far higher than my work contribution! To put it bluntly, I am just a parasite!

"There are cost advantages...Labor in the mainland is super cheap, and because of restrictions on exports, the mainland implements a foreign trade control policy. All foreign trade must go through special channels, so in fact, materials in the mainland are also relatively cheap. In this way, as long as there is no generation gap in technology, anything produced in the mainland actually has an extremely obvious cost advantage compared to international prices."

"The freight between Modu and Hongkong is very developed. You have such a large fleet, so there should be ships running this route, right? Well, so, the cost of sea transportation is acceptable. It just so happens that Hongkong is not only a free port, but also has a very high consumption level... Six Hongkong papers for a bottle of drink, 500 ml, this price is almost impossible in the mainland, but it is sold at this price in Hongkong, so of course I have to come here to make this money..."

Wow, he speaks so logically.

His views are sharp and his words are straightforward, without any beating around the bush.

Moreover, he is an inland person and probably has never been to college, but he actually has such a broad vision. He lives in a small county in the inland, but he dares to go to Hongkong to sell beverages - it is really completely different from those "mainland guys" he had met before.

They tend to be self-deprecating, modest, and low-key, and always mention how backward the mainland is and how developed Hongkong is. Although they won't say it explicitly, one can clearly sense their envy and flattery of Hongkong and its people.

But he doesn’t…

He is so confident and so frank.

…………

We started chatting without realizing it.

Unlike most of the popular girls, especially the so-called wealthy ladies, Pansy Kwok is not interested in celebrities, luxury goods, clothes, bags, watches, cars, etc., but is particularly interested in business, operation, cost, marketing, management, etc., which are obviously "men's topics". So, if others heard it, they would be surprised that she would chat with a young handsome guy about a business issue after meeting him, and the conversation became deeper and more speculative.

Unconsciously, she felt that the anger in her heart had disappeared, and her mind was almost completely attracted by his topics, his gestures when he spoke, and his face.

Unconsciously, the smiles on my face grew more and more.

The look in his eyes unconsciously became more and more focused.

From time to time, I would be amused by his sudden sense of humor.

As her eyes looked at him, they became brighter and brighter.

Suddenly, at some point, an idea suddenly popped up in her mind - how lucky she was! She actually met such an amazing person in her life!

She didn't even know how long she had been chatting, she was completely absorbed in the conversation, until suddenly a servant came to remind her, "Miss, the master is about to come down."

She said "Oh", came back to her senses from a trance, and wanted to speak, but subconsciously looked back at the man first, and then she inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief - fortunately, he was still there, and this was not a dream!

Although I had a vague feeling that it was just a dream - how could a person be so lucky to meet a man like this?
What's more, the fact that he was born in a family like the Guo family, and had been well-fed and well-clothed and received the best education since childhood, should have exhausted all his life's luck!
However, it was not a dream!
She handed the empty wine glass in her hand to the servant, turned around, looked at Cao Yukun with clear eyes, showed him the business card in her hand, and said, "Can I call you?"

"of course can."

"Then wait for my call."

After saying this, she couldn't help but look at the man deeply again, then turned and walked away.
