Rebirth: Rising Hong Kong

Mid-levels villa in Hong Kong.

Huo's mansion.

Huo Dashao Huo Zhenting came back from the ballroom, took off his jacket and handed it to the housekeeper Ah Cai, and then asked the maid Sister Cui to bring him a cup of sobering tea.

After drinking tea and rinsing his mouth, Huo Zhenting walked towards the bedroom where his father lived in the back building.

In the past few days, Mr. Huo is not in good health and always has a cough. The Western doctor Hendry helped him diagnose and treat him, saying that it was influenza, and let him rest at home.

The bedroom where Mr. Huo lives has also been disinfected, and the servants are usually very careful.

When Huo Zhenting came to the door, he happened to see his mother, Mrs. Lu, bringing the foot-washing water.

Mr. Lu nodded and said, "You don't have to say a few words and rest early."

"Got it." Huo Zhenting knocked on the door and went in with the foot wash.

In the bedroom, Mr. Huo was wearing glasses and loose and comfortable pajamas. He was leaning on the bedside. Using the light of the bedside lamp, he watched the "Hua Shang Evening News", which was full of editorial and commercial content.

Seeing that Huo Zhenting came in with the foot wash, he folded the newspaper in his hand, put it on the bedside table, took off the glasses he was wearing and put it on the newspaper, and asked, "Where's your mother?"

"I let her rest, and I'll wash your feet tonight."

"Stinky boy, every time you help me wash my feet, you have a small gift. What delicious food did you pack this time?"

Huo Zhenting smiled, put down the footbath, picked up the towel and wiped his hands, then took out the "roasted sweet potato" that he had packed from the roadside, and handed it to his father, saying, "Try it, this roasted sweet potato Is it on time?"

Mr. Huo hurriedly took it, first smelled it in front of his nose, then peeled off the skin, first licked the skin of the sweet potato, and after licking it clean, he took a light bite on the heart of the sweet potato.

Mr. Huo came from a hard time. He couldn't even eat before, and he was often hungry when he was working.

Since he developed, he has been very diligent and thrifty, especially in terms of food, and he has put an end to waste. For this reason, whether it is family servants, or his wife and children, when they waste food, he has been reprimanded.

After eating a few bites of sweet potatoes, Mr. Huo couldn't help but praised: "It's delicious! It's still the same taste! Is that the one on the easternmost side of Lockhart Road in Wanchai?"

"Guess right! Dad, you deserve to be a big eater!" Huo Zhenting gave Huo a thumbs up, then helped him take off his socks, gently soaked his feet in water, rubbed his head while helping him He said to Mr. Huo, "Mom is also true. You won't be allowed to eat this, and you won't be allowed to eat that, so every time I bring things back from the outside like a thief, for fear of being discovered by her!"

Mr. Huo gnawed on the sweet potato, "She is also for my own good. When I was young, I worked too hard, and the root of the disease was left, and I couldn't get better. No, I caught a cold again after the weather changed. By the way, you leave me. Stay away, Doctor Hendry said, my cold is contagious!"

"What are you afraid of, I'm so strong!" Huo Zhenting lifted Mr. Huo's feet from the water basin, took the footcloth next to him and wiped it patiently, then lifted it up and put it on the bed again Sitting on the head of the bed, he said to Mr. Huo, "But Dad, I saw that Shi Zhijian today."

"Which one?"

"It's the young man who cheated on Li Jiacheng not long ago and got 3,000 mu of land in Tsuen Wan."

"Oh, I remember. Is Xu Sanshao's friend right? You go to see him on my behalf tonight. How is it? What do you think?" Huo carefully wrapped the unfinished sweet potato in a handkerchief, After taking a napkin and wiping his mouth, he looked up at his son Huo Zhenting.

"I think, I think this person is not bad."

Mr. Huo smiled, "You have a good heart, and you can see everyone well. It shouldn't be so easy for Shi Zhijian to make a person as big as Li Jiacheng like that."

"You're right about that."

Then Huo Zhenting carefully explained what happened in the ballroom tonight to Mr. Huo.

At first, Mr. Huo was careless. Although he valued Shi Zhijian very much, he still felt that Shi Zhijian was too young. Even if he cheated on Li Jiacheng, it would be a bad luck.

Even Mr. Huo privately had the idea of ​​using the strong strength of the Huo family to grab Shi Zhijian's land and develop it independently.

Who asked Shi Zhijian to get those lands from others? Don't say that the old man bullies the younger generation, that's how the shopping mall is, you cheat me, I cheat you, the strong crushes the weak, and if the strength is not enough, you can only be cannon fodder.

But when Mr. Huo heard that Shi Zhijian teamed up with Chinese inspector Chen Zhichao to deal with the ghost inspector Kennis, his expression couldn't help changing, and there was a glimmer of admiration in his eyes.

"Dad, you don't know the situation at that time, how mad the ghost guy Kennedy was, and he didn't take us Chinese people seriously at all!" Huo Zhenting described everything he saw vividly, especially Shi Zhijian's Brave and resourceful and praised again.

"So I think this Shi Zhijian is a good friend to make. Dad, what do you think?"

After telling the story, Huo Zhenting looked at his father and asked Mr. Huo for his opinion.

Huo Zhenting has always worshipped his father as a god, and he must ask him about everything first.

Big Brother Huo looked at his son's hopeful eyes and couldn't help sighing.

Others say that this eldest son is not smart and is not a business material.

Only Mr. Huo himself knows that his son is not not smart, but a wise man.

It's just that his own light is too dazzling, blocking his son's light, and making his son like to listen to his opinions in everything, so that he rarely thinks independently.

"A Ting, if you have anything in the future, you can make your own decision. You don't need to ask me. We are father and son, and I trust you!" Huo said to Huo Zhenting.

Huo Zhenting was stunned, "Dad, what do you mean by that?"

"I mean, when I'm older, I won't have to do everything by myself in the future. You have to learn to be independent. I will hand over all the business of the Huo family to you. You have to be mentally minded. Prepare."

"No, Dad, you're still so young, our Huo family can't do without you, I can't learn it!" Huo Zhenting waved his hands hurriedly, a little afraid of taking over the huge family business.

Seeing this, Mr. Huo sighed secretly: "Okay, I'm just kidding with you. You've talked to me so much, but it's just that this Shi Zhijian is a very good person----how, did you agree to him? what?"

Who is Mr. Huo?

From his words and deeds, you can guess what kind of heartache your son has in his heart~www.readwn.com~ I can't hide it from you. Huo Zhenting scratched his head, "I made an agreement with him to bring him to see you tomorrow. "

"Are you afraid I won't agree?"

Huo Zhenting nodded, "You know that you don't like seeing strangers the most, not to mention that you have been ill recently."

Mr. Huo has a dull personality and does not speak much on many occasions, so that many Hong Kong people think that he is difficult to contact.

"Since you think he's good, then I'll meet him."

"Really? Great!" Huo Zhenting was overjoyed.

Mr. Huo smiled slightly: "If I want my son's friend, I, the father, will help you to weigh it and see if he is qualified!"

"Also," Mr. Huo emphasized, "I'm hiding half a sweet potato, don't tell your mother!"
