These words were like a bucket of cold water poured over He Yuzhu's head, making him extremely angry.
In a fit of anger, he turned around and bought an equally expensive Aston Martin.
When it comes to Hong Kong's morning tea, it's not just about drinking tea; it's more about enjoying a variety of exquisite Chinese dim sum.
Unlike the breakfast options in Beijing, the snacks here are diverse, including not only common dumplings, rice cakes, and steamed buns, but also a variety of unique pastries that are mouthwatering.
This place offers not only a wide variety of porridges, such as fragrant millet and pumpkin porridge and smooth eight-treasure porridge; but also mouthwatering meat dishes, like tempting braised pork belly and tender, juicy roasted chicken legs; and of course, the smooth and delicate herbal jelly and the sweet and delicious tofu pudding…
It can be said that there is everything from appetizers to delicious desserts, making it a feast for the eyes.
As for beverages, the main focus is on rich and aromatic black tea. This type of tea is mild and has the effect of warming the stomach and removing greasiness, and it also helps with food digestion.
After the three of them took their seats, Li Xiaohe very politely asked He Yuzhu to choose a few of his favorite dishes, and then he ordered a table full of different kinds of exquisite snacks.
The bodyguards were sensible and did not disturb them. Instead, they sat down at a separate table a short distance away to have their meal.
After a few casual words, Li Xiaohe naturally steered the conversation to the martial arts competition that the Liao family had previously held.
Then, he couldn't help but lament how difficult it is to do business these days. Without a strong and solid background to support it, even a family business that has been painstakingly built up over decades could be ruthlessly swallowed up by others in an instant.
Upon hearing this, He Yuzhu suddenly realized that Hongfa Trading Company had not only compensated him with an industrial building and a car, but had also transferred a considerable share of its business to the Liao family.
Li Xiaohe sighed slightly and said:
"Back in the day, our family had its glorious days, but now we've inevitably gone downhill, and the past glory is long gone!"
His words revealed a hint of regret.
After a deep conversation, He Yuzhu finally learned that Li Xiaohe's father was actually a highly skilled martial arts expert when he was young!
Unfortunately, neither their generation nor their descendants were able to endure the arduous martial arts training, ultimately resulting in them failing to master the skills.
Left with no other choice, they had to shift their focus to training other members of their tribe.
This phenomenon is not an isolated case, but a chronic problem shared by the entire family.
Looking back at the first generation of our ancestors, they were all brave and fearless, daring to fight. But as time went by, their descendants became spoiled and pampered due to excessive pampering, and it was really hard to bear to let them endure the trials of hardship.
After all, how could a family grow steadily and prosper without strong military power as a solid backing?
After some conversation, everyone enjoyed breakfast together.
Afterwards, Ho Yu-chu waved goodbye to the father and daughter and drove straight back to his building in Sai Wan Ho.
After starting work, He Yuzhu first carefully reviewed some relevant reports and then diligently signed the documents.
At this moment, he was racking his brains trying to figure out how to obtain the advanced manufacturing technology of transistors.
Just then, the phone on the desk suddenly rang loudly. He Yuzhu picked it up and heard that it was Mr. Huang calling.
All that could be heard on the other end of the phone was Mr. Huang's slightly anxious voice:
"Mr. He, would you be so kind as to do me a small favor?"
He Yuzhu readily responded:
"But it doesn't matter!"
It's worth noting that this Mr. Huang was the first friend He Yuzhu made. The two often met at teahouses to enjoy tea and chat, and they had a very good relationship.
So when He Yuzhu received a call for help from Boss Huang, he was quite surprised, because such a situation had never happened before.
Then, Mr. Huang continued:
“I’ve mentioned this to Mr. He before; my precious daughter is really causing me a lot of trouble! Recently, a white man has been pursuing her ardently, and they even made plans to go to a bar together tonight. So I’d like to ask you to help look after her, is that alright?”
"This one……"
He Yuzhu was initially a little uneasy, wondering what kind of thorny problems he would face next, but when he heard that it was just a small matter of taking care of Huang Zhirou, he was surprised.
He said he was worried that Huang Zhirou would get taken advantage of if she went to a bar at night, so he asked him for help.
This really surprised and amused He Yuzhu, after all, why would someone come to him for help with something like this?
Ever since Huang Zhirou started working at the company, she has been extremely polite to him, always maintaining a clear and distinct superior-subordinate relationship.
Aside from work-related communication, the two of them have almost no contact in private.
However, after Mr. Huang spoke several kind words in a heartfelt manner, He Yuzhu found it difficult to refuse and had no choice but to reluctantly agree.
Immediately afterwards, He Yuzhu reached out and pressed the bell on the table.
A short while later, two soft knocks were heard at the door, and then Huang Zhirou walked slowly into the office with light steps.
She was graceful and elegant, as beautiful and charming as a blooming flower.
When He Yuzhu's gaze fell on Huang Zhirou, for some reason, a ripple of emotion involuntarily stirred within him, and he began to feel somewhat distracted.
Although Mr. Huang didn't say it outright, He Yuzhu wasn't stupid. He could vaguely sense that Mr. Huang seemed to want to match him with his daughter and create a happy marriage.
Of course, he was well aware that he already had a wife at home.
But in Hong Kong these days, which man with even a little ability doesn't have a harem of wives and concubines? So He Yuzhu didn't show much resistance to this matter.
Huang Zhiru's delicate oval face is as if it were sculpted with great care. The distribution of her features is just right; any more or less would be too much or too little, giving her an overall charming and lovely beauty.
Her long eyelashes, like butterfly wings, exuded a captivating charm with every blink, making one utterly smitten.
The pristine white, form-fitting lace blouse she wore perfectly accentuated her two towering breasts, making them resemble two majestic snow-capped mountains, drawing attention.
The black bodycon skirt clung tightly to her slender waist and pert hips, outlining a captivating and beautiful curve.
He Yuzhu could never get enough of Huang Zhiru's beautiful and charming appearance.
However, Huang Zhirou always treated him with icy indifference, showing no enthusiasm whatsoever, and always maintaining a businesslike and unsmiling demeanor.
When she noticed He Yuzhu staring intently at her, she frowned slightly, a hint of displeasure flashing in her eyes. After glaring at him fiercely, she asked impatiently again:
"Boss, what's the matter? If there's nothing else, I'm going to get back to work."
"I wanted to ask if you're free tonight?" He Yuzhu asked directly.
"No time!"
Huang Zhirou answered without hesitation, her tone even colder than before, and even carrying a hint of annoyance.
She wondered to herself what was wrong with this boss, why he was suddenly so concerned about her private time.
He Yuzhu didn't give up after Huang Zhirou's refusal and continued to press, "So what are you planning to do tonight?"
Huang Zhirou replied somewhat angrily, "My classmate invited me to go to a bar together."
Upon hearing this, He Yuzhu blurted out without thinking, "You're not allowed to go!" His voice was so loud that it instantly made the atmosphere in the entire office tense.
“I’m your assistant, not your slave! I’m off work now, I can go wherever I want!” Huang Zhirou stared at the other person with wide eyes and a stubborn expression. Her face became even more gloomy and ugly with anger.
Just then, He Yuzhu, who had been so forceful, suddenly seemed like a different person, and his tone softened as he said:
"Okay, you can go if you want, but I've never been to a bar before. How about we go together tonight?"
"Wh...what?" Huang Zhirou was so shocked by this sudden suggestion that she couldn't close her mouth, and her face showed an expression of disbelief.
Seeing this, He Yuzhu quickly explained:
"Oh, I'm just telling the truth. I've never been to a bar before, and I want to go with you to broaden my horizons."
Huang Zhirou quickly waved her hand in refusal:
"No, no, those are all my classmates and friends, it's inconvenient to take you there."
He Yuzhu, however, didn't take it to heart and continued to try:
"What's inconvenient about it? Aren't I your friend too, right?"
"You..." Huang Zhirou was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to refute.
Seeing this, He Yuzhu's eyes darted around, and he unleashed his trump card:
"Hmph, if you don't agree to take me with you, I'll deduct your wages!"
Upon hearing this, Huang Zhirou stomped her feet in anger and shouted indignantly:
"What kind of boss is as ruthless and vicious as you?"
However, He Yuzhu remained unmoved and instead responded smugly:
"Oh ho, you actually dare to call me vicious? Then you deserve an even bigger pay cut!"
Huang Zhirou panicked instantly. The thought that a large sum of her hard-earned wages might be deducted filled her with resentment.
She gritted her teeth and said helplessly, "Fine, fine, I promise you, okay?"
Only after receiving a satisfactory reply did He Yuzhu finally smile broadly. He then instructed:
"That's a deal, I'll go with you tonight."
Don't tell anyone I'm your boss, okay? Just say I'm just a regular employee in the company.
"All right!"
Huang Zhirou sighed helplessly. Although she was full of doubts, she could only nod in agreement.
She couldn't understand why her usually busy boss would offer to accompany her to the bar today.
Was he genuinely worried about her safety, or did he have ulterior motives?
Filled with doubt, Huang Zhirou walked heavily back to her work station.
