“Okay!” Claire nodded heavily and then said, “Hurry up and go in. Aren’t you taking off at eight o’clock? There’s only half an hour left.” “Okay.” Charlie got out of the car, and after Claire had sat back in the car, he waved at her and said, “Honey, I’ll go first. Drive carefully on your way back.”Claire nodded obediently and said softly, “Tell me in advance when you’re done, and I’ll come and pick you up at the airport when you come back.”“Okay!”Charlie watched Claire drive away before he turned around and walked into the airport.After a simple security check, he boarded the business jet arranged by Porter.The plane took off on time at eight o’clock and flew toward Hong Kong at great speed. Fourteen hours later, it was already ten o’clock in the morning in Hong Kong.The business jet that Charlie was on was still more than an hour away from Hong Kong. So, Charlie called Autumn and told her that he was going to reach Hong Kong soon. He asked her to notify Shawn to mee
Autumn did not expect that Shawn would want Charlie to stay at his house. However, Autumn did not know what Charlie’s purpose was in visiting Shawn. So, she did not dare to agree on Charlie’s behalf without his authorization, and she said, “Mr. Long, you should wait until you meet him in person and talk to him about this personally. See what he wants, then.”“Okay!” Shawn smiled and said, “Miss Hart, please rest assured that I will definitely let him feel the enthusiasm and warmth of Hong Kong!”Autumn said, “Okay. My assistant’s name is Charlie Wade. Make sure you write his name on a sign and hold up the sign at the entrance of the airport. He will go to you when he sees it.”“No problem!” Shawn said immediately without hesitation, “I’ll get ready to leave now, then!”After that, he hung up the phone and said to Jenna, “Get the maids to clean up the largest guest room on the second floor. We need to entertain a distinguished guest first!” Jenna asked in surprise, “Shawn, what
Jenna muttered, “Your daughter does not even listen to you, so why would she listen to me when I’m just her stepmother? You’d better call her yourself if you want to call her to come over...”Shawn was a little dissatisfied with Jenna’s attitude, but after hesitating for a moment, he waved his hand and said helplessly, “Forget it. I’ll talk to her when I’m on the way later! Go and make all the arrangements for everything else!” “Okay!” Jenna did not dare to refuse, and she nodded in a hurry. Meanwhile, Charlie received a phone call from Autumn and learned that Shawn actually wanted to invite him to stay at his house. He was surprised, and he could not help but think that it was ridiculous. So, he called Porter, and as soon as the call was connected, Charlie asked him, “Porter, where are you now?”Porter said respectfully, “Mr. Wade, I’m preparing to go to the airport to pick you up now.”Charlie informed him, “Porter, you don’t need to pick me up at the airport today. I plan t
An hour later, the plane that Charlie was on landed at Hong Kong International Airport. Meanwhile, at the exit of the airport. The famous Hong Kong tycoon, Shawn, was personally holding a sign with the words ‘Charlie Wade’ written on it. He was really looking forward to Charlie’s arrival as he stood at the airport exit with his wife, Jenna.Jenna was wearing thick sunglasses and a mask, and she had a somewhat unhappy expression on her face.She did not know much about business, but she felt that as Hong Kong’s famous Mrs. Long, it was embarrassing for her to be picking someone up at the airport in person.Shawn did not care about that. He knew very well that a businessman must absolutely never have any trouble with money. If he only had to sacrifice a little of his reputation so that this collaboration could go smoothly, wouldn’t this be a great deal, then?At this time, Charlie was carrying a backpack as he walked out of the exit.He looked around and soon saw the fat man
Although Charlie was speaking vaguely, he was actually pointing these two people out.Even though Charlie did not say anything about Jenna’s specific deeds, the couple coincidentally thought of Jenna’s elopement with Janus. For so many years, this incident had been Jenna’s weakness in front of Shawn, and this was also the source of Shawn’s deepest pain. Charlie was implicitly pointing to this fact, which in turn made these two people feel extremely uncomfortable.The reason why Charlie had said this was also completely intentional.He simply wanted to see how much patience Shawn would have in front of him. He was merely provoking Shawn a little bit for now. If Shawn could endure it, there would be bigger provocations waiting for him later.It would be great if Shawn could lose his temper in front of him now.After all, Charlie had flown all the way here from the United States this time to specifically teach him how to behave.Moreover, what Charlie was best at was using som
Charlie had already read all of Shawn’s information before his plane had landed.This old man was very flirtatious, and out of his three marriages, he had five children.The eldest of his five children was his eldest daughter, Marianne. Shawn’s first wife had given birth to Marianne. Marianne was twenty-four years old this year, and she was studying for a doctorate in the Literature Department at Hong Kong University. Marianne’s mother had died of cervical cancer when she was five years old, and a year after her mother’s death, her father, Shawn, had married an actress from the Hong Kong entertainment industry who was ten years younger than him.A few years later, Jenna had come back from the United States. Shawn had then divorced his second wife and married Jenna instead.Shawn’s first wife had given him two daughters, and Marianne was the eldest daughter. Her sister was three years younger than her and was currently studying in England. The actress had given birth to two c
After the convoy came in, the bodyguards got out of the car first and opened the door for Charlie, Shawn, and Jenna, who was in the other car.The maids greeted Shawn and Jenna with a “Sir, Madam” in unison, but Shawn then pointed directly at Charlie and said to everyone, “Come, greet Mr. Wade!”So, the crowd hurriedly bowed to Charlie and greeted him again.Shawn then continued saying to the crowd, “Mr. Wade will be staying at our house for the next few days. You have to serve Mr. Wade well and not let him feel any dissatisfaction. Do you understand me?” The crowd naturally agreed in succession, and they did not dare to be negligent. After that, Shawn said to Charlie, “Mr. Wade, I already got the maids to clean up the guest room before you came. You will stay here with me as long as you’re in Hong Kong. You don’t have to be courteous with me!”Charlie was also very happy to oblige and so, he smiled and said, “I’ll accept willingly if that’s the case!”“Okay!” Shawn patted Cha
As Charlie looked at Marianne for the first time, he felt that this girl was much more beautiful compared to how she looked in her photos.What Charlie saw on the documents were all the girl’s ID photos. Marianne was wearing glasses in her ID photos, and she was not smiling. She looked a little more delicate and beautiful, but she was far from being stunning.At this moment, however, Marianne, who was in front of him, was slender and tall with fair and rosy skin. Her facial features without makeup had the charm of a classical Oskian beauty. She had a long ponytail, and it seemed as though she was an angel that had fallen into this neighborhood and was the top version of the girl-next-door.Marianne’s dressing was very simple. She was wearing an ordinary dress with a simple pair of black sandals coupled with an unbranded shoulder bag. Such casual dressing actually brought out her extraordinary temperament to an even greater height. Charlie really did not expect that a fat man like
