Hong Kong Comprehensive: The Rise of the King

Chapter 320: Like a duck in water

"It turned out to be him."

Situ Yulian thought for a while, recalled it, and said, "That's the kid who came from Hong Kong Island to compete for gambling cards, right?

I remember that he also had a conflict with Morobing and the others, and things got quite big in the end. "

"Yeah, he was the one who asked me for help in the first place and asked me to suppress the matter." He Xin said.

"He is indeed a courageous young man."

Situ Yulian said, "Did you introduce this to Tian'er, or was it Tian'er's own idea?"

"Of course Tian'er has taken a liking to Sheng Jiale, I'm just helping Tian'er check."

He Xin said.

Although he pays attention to being well-matched, he will not force He Tian'er to marry someone he doesn't like.

He Xin has regarded this daughter as a treasure since he was a child, and he is afraid that she will melt in the palm of his hand.

"My vision was really good that day. I found such a handsome young man."

Situ Yulian also knew something about Sheng Jiale.

"Who says it's not the case? Somehow, the two of them got together." He Xin laughed.

He was also very happy to be able to recruit Sheng Jiale as his son-in-law.

After all, Sheng Jiale is extremely outstanding in all aspects. Whether it is figure, appearance or strength, he is far superior to other young people in Haojiang.

In He Xin's eyes, He Xin would look down on all those rich second generations who have become so domineering based on the wealth that their parents have worked hard for.

"Those brats here still think about toads eating swan meat, and they keep pursuing Tian'er.

Now that Tian'er is about to get engaged, I think they can finally give up on this idea. "Situ Yulian said:
"After this news gets out, I don't know how many people will beat their chests. I guess they will hate Sheng Jiale to death."

"They are the only ones who want to marry my daughter? What a dream."

He Xin really didn't have a good impression of young people like Haojiang, especially with Sheng Jiale as a comparison. The gap between the two was so huge that there was no comparison at all.

"Yulian, don't forget the engagement ceremony in half a month. You must be there then."

He Xin warned.

"I know, I know, why are you acting like a woman to your mother-in-law? Can I forget this kind of thing?
Even if you didn't notify me, how could I be absent from Tian'er's engagement ceremony? "Situ Yulian said angrily.

"Where's Mr. He? Have you told him?"

"I've informed him and just called him," He Xin said.

"That's good. We'll see you at the engagement ceremony then."

"Okay, that's it."

He Xin hung up the phone and sat on the sofa with a smile on his lips.

Generally speaking, fathers will feel disappointed after marrying off their daughters. After all, their daughters have become someone else's wife since then.

However, there are exceptions, that is, when a son-in-law is good enough, he will not feel disappointed, but will feel extremely satisfied, and be happy that his daughter has found someone who can be entrusted to him for the rest of his life.

On the other side, after Sheng Jiale and He Tianer finished strolling in the courtyard, they said goodbye and took Luo Tianhong back to the mountainside villa.

Sheng Jiale walked into the study, took out his phone and dialed Tony.

The call was answered quickly.

"Boss, what's the matter?" Tony asked.

"You handle the company's affairs and then rush to Haojiang. I will hold an engagement ceremony with He Tian'er in half a month.

I intend to leave it to you to take charge of these matters. "

Hearing this, Tony was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Sheng Jiale to suddenly announce his engagement to He Tian'er, but then he said in a deep voice: "No problem, I will hand over the things in my hands right away and rush to Haojiang." "

"Well, come here as soon as possible."

Sheng Jiale said calmly and then hung up the phone.

Although Luo Tianhong is following him, Luo Tianhong is a straight man with a martial arts bent, so he has no problem letting him be a bodyguard, killing people and handling ordinary things.

But hosting an engagement ceremony is a bit difficult.

What the host of the engagement ceremony needs is not strength, but must be comprehensive and exquisite.

In comparison, Tony is a more suitable candidate, especially since he has accumulated enough experience in managing various things in Qiangsheng Group for such a long time.

It couldn't be easier to come to Haojiang to host a wedding now.

After finishing speaking, Sheng Jiale made a pot of tea and took a rest.

Then he picked up the phone again. Since he was going to hold an engagement ceremony, he would naturally have to invite his friends to attend.

There is no way that the engagement scene will be filled with He Xin's friends, but his relatives and friends will be empty. That scene will also be very unpleasant.

The first person Sheng Jiale called was Huo Jingliang.

He had a very good relationship with Huo Jingliang, and given his age, Huo Jingliang could be considered an elder of Sheng Jiale, but the two of them usually interacted as equals and didn't care about this.

beep.

The phone rang several times and was answered.

"Mr. Sheng."

Huo Jingliang's calm voice came from over there.

"What is Mr. Huo busy with?" Sheng Jiale asked.

"Nothing, I'm pruning the bonsai."

Huo Jingliang said casually: "Why did you call me? There is something wrong?"

Sheng Jiale thought for a while, and said directly without being pretentious, "That's it. I plan to hold an engagement ceremony with He Tian'er in half a month. I hope Mr. Huo can come to Haojiang to participate."

"Ah? Are you going to get engaged to He Tian'er?"

Hearing this, Huo Jingliang was stunned and his tone changed a little.

"What's wrong, Mr. Huo?" Sheng Jiale asked.

But then, he realized in his heart that Huo Xixian was interested in him, and Sheng Jiale had already discovered this.

As Huo Xixian's father, it was impossible for Huo Jingliang to be unaware of his daughter's thoughts, so it was normal for him to have a big reaction after hearing that he and He Tian'er were engaged.

"nothing."

Huo Jingliang's voice returned to normal and he said, "It's a good thing to get engaged. I will definitely participate when the time comes."

"It would be great if Mr. Huo could come."

Sheng Jiale smiled and chatted with Huo Jingliang for a few more words before hanging up the phone.

Sheng Jiale shook his head and sighed.

He knew that the news would definitely reach Huo Xixian's ears from Huo Jingliang's mouth.

Huo Xixian will inevitably feel secretly sad when the time comes, but there is nothing that can be done about it.

Sheng Jiale couldn't marry them all.

After gathering his emotions, Sheng Jiale picked up the phone and dialed Jiang Tiansheng's number.

"Mr. Jiang, are you busy?" Sheng Jiale asked.

"Fortunately, I just dealt with some club matters. Do you have anything to call me?" Mr. Jiang said with a smile.

"It's nothing big. I'm just going to hold an engagement ceremony with He Tian'er in half a month. If Mr. Jiang has time, he can come to Haojiang to attend." Sheng Jiale said.

"Engagement ceremony? Okay, this is a great event. Since Mr. Sheng invited me, I will definitely attend it when I have time."

Jiang Tiansheng laughed and agreed immediately.

He also has a good relationship with Sheng Jiale and is a close partner. Now that Sheng Jiale is getting engaged, even if something happens in Hongxing, he has to turn it down and rush over to attend.

"Okay, then I will wait here for Mr. Jiang."

Sheng Jiale said a few polite words and hung up the phone.

Then he called Meng Dahai again.

When dialing the number, Sheng Jiale hesitated, but finally pressed the dial button.

Meng Dahai's daughter Meng Xue was just as interested in him as Huo Xixian. Sheng Jiale felt happy. After he called Meng Dahai, Meng Xue would also be secretly sad.

But it would not be good if Meng Dahai was not notified because of this.

"Hahaha, long time no see Mr. Sheng."

Meng Dahai's bold voice came over.

"How is the restaurant's business lately?" Sheng Jiale asked.

"Thanks to Mr. Sheng, business is booming recently, especially seafood."

Meng Dahai said with a smile. Originally, there was an accident in his restaurant business, but since the cooperation with Sheng Jiale, Meng Dahai has received a large amount of high-end seafood ingredients, so the restaurant business has become more and more prosperous.

He is extremely grateful to Sheng Jiale. If Sheng Jiale had not cooperated with him, it would be difficult to predict what the situation of his restaurant would be like now.

"Mr. Sheng, is there something wrong with me?" Meng Dahai asked proactively.

After thinking for a while, Sheng Jiale said, "That's it. I'm here in Haojiang now and plan to hold an engagement ceremony in half a month. If you have time then, you might as well come and attend."

"I wonder which family's daughter can be attracted by Mr. Sheng?" Meng Dahai laughed.

Meng Xue's feelings for Sheng Jiale were quite hidden, so Meng Dahai didn't notice it, so he was just curious about Sheng Jiale's engagement.

"It's He Xin's daughter, He Tian'er." Sheng Jiale explained.

"He Xin? Could it be that he is the casino tycoon from Haojiang, Mr. He?" Meng Dahai said in surprise.

"Yes, that's him."

Sheng Jiale confirmed.

"No wonder I was attracted by Mr. Sheng. It turns out that I am Mr. He's daughter. Well, don't worry, I will definitely participate when the time comes." Meng Dahai agreed immediately.

"That's it, I'll hang up first." After saying that, Sheng Jiale hung up the phone.

After drinking a cup of tea, he called Ksitigarbha again.

"Mr. Sheng, what's going on?"

The background on Jizo's side was a bit noisy, and the crowd's shouts could be heard. It was obviously in the underground boxing ring.

Sheng Jiale said calmly: "Come to Haojiang in half a month. I'm going to hold an engagement ceremony with He Tian'er."

"Mr. Sheng is getting engaged? Okay, no problem, I will be there on time." Ksitigarbha agreed directly without any hesitation.

He has now abandoned the No. 4 business and successfully transformed. He now owns the peripheral sports gambling industry and the largest underground boxing ring in Hong Kong Island. It can be said that he is making money every day and counting money every day until his hands cramp.

The money I earned was no less than what I had earned as No. 4, and it was more secure.

All of this was due to the cooperation with Shengjiale, for which Ksitigarbha was very grateful. He was fortunate to have chosen Shengjiale as a partner.

So when I heard that Sheng Jiale was going to hold an engagement ceremony, I immediately became very excited.

Sheng Jiale chatted with Ji Zang about business matters for a few words, and then hung up the phone.

He put down his cell phone, sat on the sofa, looked at the scenery outside the window, and couldn't help but look forward to the engagement ceremony in half a month.
For Sheng Jiale, it was also the first time in his life that he was engaged to someone else, and the person was a beautiful woman like He Tian'er.

Thinking that in half a month, He Tian'er would change from his girlfriend to his fiancée. This change in status made Sheng Jiale feel very novel.

Hong Kong Island, Victoria Peak Villa.

Huo Jingliang stood in front of the study window and ended the call with Sheng Jiale. He sighed and shook his head helplessly.

He was thinking about whether he should tell his daughter Huo Xixian about Sheng Jiale's engagement, but Huo Jingliang immediately thought that even if he didn't tell her, the matter wouldn't be kept secret for long, and Huo Xixian would probably know about it in the end.

"Forget it, it's better to tell her earlier."

Huo Jingliang made up his mind, walked out of the study, and found Huo Xixian sitting on the swing in the courtyard.

Under the sun, Huo Xixian was wearing a plain white dress and swaying back and forth on the swing.

"Xixian, come down and I'll talk to you."

Huo Jingliang came over and said.

"Dad, what's going on?" Huo Xixian stopped swinging, sat down with Huo Jingliang on the stone bench nearby, and asked with a smile.

Huo Xixian has been in a good mood these days because she had a happy chat with Sheng Jiale at the dinner a few days ago.

Huo Jingliang looked at his daughter's appearance, shook his head slightly and said, "Sheng Jiale went to Haojiang, did you know?"

"Ah, he went to Haojiang? When did it happen?" Huo Xixian said in surprise.

"Just what happened two days ago."

"What are Sheng Jiale going to Haojiang for? Are you talking about business again?"

Huo Xixian asked.

"No, not this time."

Huo Jingliang opened his mouth and said hesitantly: "Actually, I just received a call from Sheng Jiale this time."

"What did he say?" Huo Xixian asked hurriedly.

Huo Jingliang coughed, and then slowly said: "Xixian, you have to be mentally prepared for what I'm going to say next."

"What's going on? Dad, please stop being so secretive and just tell me."

"Okay, I'll just tell you."

Huo Jingliang said in a deep voice: "On the phone just now, Sheng Jiale invited me to Haojiang to attend his engagement ceremony."

"Engagement ceremony?"

Hearing this, Huo Xixian immediately exclaimed.

She suddenly stood up from the stool, put her hands on the table and asked, "How is it possible? Who is Sheng Jiale engaged to?"

"He Tian'er, the daughter of Haojiang casino tycoon He Xin." Huo Jingliang said.

"is her."

Huo Xixian also knew something about He Tian'er, and then he sat softly on the stone bench as if he had lost his strength.

Huo Xixian's eyes were unfocused and he looked lost.

"How could that happen? Why did Sheng Jiale get engaged so soon? Why?"

Huo Xixian murmured to herself, with complicated emotions surging in her heart, making her not sure what to do.

Originally, Huo Xixian planned to clarify his feelings with Sheng Jiale when the time was right.

But she had not taken any action yet, and now she heard the news that Sheng Jiale was engaged, which made Huo Xixian very upset.

On the side, Huo Jingliang looked at his daughter's appearance and thought that he would be lying if he said he didn't feel sorry for her. However, even his father couldn't explain too much about feelings.

This kind of thing can only be dealt with by the parties concerned.

Huo Jingliang sighed and said:
"I didn't expect that Sheng Jiale would get engaged to He Tian'er so soon. Alas, it would be great if Sheng Jiale was my son-in-law. There is no other outstanding young man like him in Hong Kong."

Huo Xixian listened to these words, but did not say a word. All she thought about was the past she had experienced with Sheng Jiale, and the scenes flooded her heart, making her even more sad.

One day later, Haojiang Pier.

A luxury cruise ship slowly drove over.

Woo.

The yacht docked at the edge of the pier, and the sailors lowered the gangplank.

"Dasha, we're here, let's get off the boat."

Tony said to Dasha beside him on the deck.

Although Dasha is Sheng Jiale's housekeeper, his identity is not just a housekeeper, but also equivalent to Sheng Jiale's only relative.

Therefore, for such an important event as the engagement ceremony, Sheng Jiale would certainly not forget Dasha and also invited him to come to Haojiang to act as his elder.

After Dasha learned that Sheng Jiale asked Tony to host the engagement ceremony, he was very enthusiastic about helping Tony.

After all, he is here at such an old age and has more experience than Tony. He must be more knowledgeable about the many rules at the wedding than Tony.

"Okay, I have to take a good look at that girl He Tian'er later." Dasha chuckled.

The two walked off the gangplank, followed by a large number of Qiangsheng Group security personnel wearing black suits.

At this time, on the pier, Jia Qian brother Awu was leading a luxury motorcade to greet Tony and Dasha.

"Tony, long time no see."

Jiaqian brother Awu laughed, walked up to Tony, and gave him a hug.

"How are you doing here?" Tony asked with a smile.

"It's very exciting. The boss asked me to take charge of the casino gambling stalls. Seeing those colorful banknotes in front of my eyes every day is like being in heaven." Awu said excitedly.

For him, there is no better place than a casino.

"Haha, it's because you like money so much that the boss asked you to manage things here."

Tony said patting him on the shoulder.

Then Jiaqian brother Awu looked at Dasha and said respectfully: "Dasha, you are here."

For Dasha, not only Jiaqian brother Awu, but also Tony, Luo Tianhong and others respect Dasha. They all know that Dasha is not only the butler of Sheng Jiale.

"Awu, you are here to help the young master take care of the casino business. Thank you for your hard work." Dasha said.

"It's not hard for him here, he's just like a duck in water."

Tony said before Awu. (End of chapter)
