Hong Kong Comprehensive: The Rise of the King

Hearing Meng Xue's cautiousness, Sheng Jiale laughed and said, "There's nothing to plan. Ask your dad to start preparing. I'll come to visit you in a while."

"Okay, then I'll wait for you."

Meng Xue chatted with Sheng Jiale for a while and then hung up the phone.

She touched her face and felt it was quite hot. She looked in the mirror and saw that her fair and pretty face was already red.

Meng Xue quickly patted herself gently and took a few deep breaths, then she felt a little more awake.

"Xiaoxue, how's it going? Did Shengsheng agree to come over for dinner?"

Meng Dahai spoke up at this time.

Meng Xue, who was thinking about something in her mind, was startled and almost screamed.

"Dad, why did you speak suddenly? I was scared to death." Meng Xue patted his chest.

Meng Dahai looked aggrieved and thought to himself, why did I speak suddenly? I have been standing here the whole time.
"Sheng Jiale agreed and said he would come over soon. You should prepare quickly and make all those specialties. Don't let Sheng Jiale come here in vain."

Meng Xue urged.

"Okay, okay, I'll go to the kitchen."

Meng Dahai shook his head helplessly, put on an apron, and went into the kitchen to start working.

At the same time, he couldn't help muttering in his heart that his girl was a little weird. How come she became like a different person after the phone call?

At noon.

Sheng Jiale’s convoy stopped in front of the Meng family villa.

"Boss, we're here."

Tony helped Sheng Jiale open the car door.

Sheng Jiale stood in front of the villa and looked at the building.

With Meng Dahai's wealth, he naturally lives in a detached villa with an overall European style. There is also a small fountain in the courtyard with a marble statue standing in it.

"Tony, leave a team behind and go back."

Sheng Jiale casually said that he came to eat, and this meeting was somewhat private in nature, so it was not convenient to bring Tony in.

We can't let Tony starve outside.

"No, I'll just wait here for the boss." Tony insisted.

Sheng Jiale nodded and said nothing more.

Ding dong.

Press the doorbell.

"coming."

Soon, hurried footsteps were heard from inside the door, and then the door opened, and Meng Xue appeared in front of Sheng Jiale.

"Sheng Jiale, you are here."

After seeing Sheng Jiale, Meng Xue seemed very happy, with a smile on her face.

Then he quickly let Sheng Jiale into the entrance.

Meng Dahai heard the sound inside, wiped his hands, walked out of the kitchen, and saw Sheng Jiale with a smile on his face.

"Shengsheng, you're here just in time. The food will be ready soon."

"Not urgent."

Sheng Jiale smiled and followed Meng Xue to sit on the sofa.

The two sides behaved differently. At first glance, it seemed as if Sheng Jiale was the owner of the house, while Meng Xue and Meng Dahai seemed like guests.

Sheng Jiale and Meng Xue chatted for a while before Meng Dahai came out with the food.

Delicious dishes were served on the table with fragrant aroma.

The three of them sat around the dining table.

Meng Dahai’s cooking skills are pretty good, and considering Sheng Jiale’s picky attitude towards food, it’s acceptable.

Especially some of the signature dishes. Sheng Jiale couldn't help but nod his head after tasting them. Meng Dahai was worthy of being a restaurant owner. The taste was indeed good.

Soon, after three rounds of wine and five dishes, Sheng Jiale was very satisfied with the meal.

"Shengsheng, thank you for what you did before. If you hadn't helped me, I wouldn't know what to do."

After the meal, Meng Dahai expressed his gratitude.

He said this sincerely. Being targeted by Wang Bao is not an easy thing to deal with.

"nothing."

Sheng Jiale waved his hand and said casually: "Boss Meng, you are my partner, and I can't watch your business being swallowed up by Wang Bao."

Sheng Jiale really didn't take this matter to heart. The main reason why he took action was just because Meng Xue was teased by A Tao.

After saying that, Sheng Jiale looked at his watch and said, "It's almost time. I have something else to do in the afternoon, so I won't bother you anymore."

Sheng Jiale came here just to eat. Now that he was full, he naturally didn't want to be polite with Meng Dahai anymore and said goodbye immediately.

"Xiaoxue, why don't you send Shengsheng off?"

Meng Dahai winked at Meng Xue.

"No, there are people outside..."

As Sheng Jiale said this, he saw Meng Xue looking at him expectantly, so he had to change his words midway: "If you insist on sending it, then go ahead."

Meng Xue got what she wanted, and ran to Sheng Jiale excitedly and accompanied him out of the villa.

"How about taking a walk in the yard?"

Meng Xue suggested.

"Alright."

Sheng Jiale did not refuse. Anyway, he had nothing to do in the company now, so he might as well take a walk for a meal. As the saying goes, take a hundred steps after a meal and you will live to be ninety-nine.

The courtyard was not small and was built in a variety of styles. The two of them walked in it, strolling on the grass or the cobblestone path.

As they walked, Meng Xue suddenly spoke, "Sheng Jiale, thank you so much this time. You don't know how scared I was at that time. I don't know how to thank you..."

"Nothing, we are friends."

Sheng Jiale said nonchalantly.

Meng Xue nodded heavily, her eyes falling on Sheng Jiale's profile, staring at the angular lines.

She quietly clenched her fists, and then seemed to have made up her mind, and suddenly stood on tiptoe.

Like a dragonfly touching the water, Meng Xue kissed Sheng Jiale on the cheek in lightning speed.

Before Sheng Jiale could react, he quickly ran away. Just by looking at his waving hands, you could tell how nervous he was.
"kindness?"

Sheng Jiale touched the side of his face belatedly and looked at the lipstick color on his palm, speechless.

In fact, Sheng Jiale has always been very clear about Meng Xue's little thoughts.

It's just that he didn't want to take the initiative to bring it up.

Sheng Jiale looked at Meng Xue's back as she ran away quickly, wondering why she suddenly became brave, which was probably related to settling the matter of Wang Bao.

Wang Bao, you died a good death.

Sheng Jiale muttered to himself.

No matter how you look at Meng Xue's external conditions, it's impossible for Sheng Jiale to say that he doesn't have any thoughts in his mind.

Besides, this is not the first time the two parties have met each other. They have played together many times before and have a certain emotional foundation between them.

The most important thing is that Sheng Jiale now has so many lice that he is not afraid of being bitten, so Meng Xue wouldn’t think it’s a big deal if there is one more bite.

Sheng Jiale wiped off the lipstick mark, shook his head, and walked towards the convoy on the side of the road.

"boss."

Tony opened the car door.

"Go back to the company."

Sheng Jiale ordered calmly.

Meng Xue's behavior was just a minor episode and would not affect him.

"Yes." Tony agreed, trotted back to the driver's seat, started the car, and left.

the other side.

Meng Xue took the initiative to kiss Sheng Jiale. She had exhausted all her courage and even forgot to say the many words she had prepared.

Her heart was pounding like a deer running around.

His face was red and hot as if he had been roasted in a furnace.

"I actually kissed her..."

Meng Xue couldn't help but think about what had just happened. This was the boldest thing she had ever done since she grew up.

If it was an ordinary person, Meng Xue might not be so shy. But when the target was Sheng Jiale, everything was different.

Sheng Jiale is too outstanding. He started from scratch and is now a top tycoon. He is also outstanding in appearance. Whether in height, body shape or looks, he is ten blocks away from the most popular stars.

Compared with her, even Meng Xue actually felt a little inferior.

Therefore, after making such a bold move, Meng Xue felt a little nervous, worried that it would cause Sheng Jiale's disgust.

After all, Sheng Jiale had never shown any romantic intentions to her before.

Such thoughts kept appearing in Meng Xue's mind, and she was lost in thought.

"Little Snow."

Meng Dahai's voice suddenly rang out.

Meng Xue subconsciously exclaimed, and looked in the direction of the sound. She saw her father standing on the terrace on the second floor of the villa, looking at her with a smile.

The expression on Meng Dahai's face was very interesting, as if he had seen some very interesting scene, and there was a mischievous look in his eyes.

Seeing this scene, Meng Xue could no longer help but realize that her action of kissing Sheng Jiale just now must have been seen by Meng Dahai.

"Dad, did you see it?" Meng Xue asked in a low voice with a red face.

"Why are you shy? My daughter, you have grown up. I am very happy."

Meng Dahai said with a smile.

But the more he did this, the redder Meng Xue's face became. At this moment, she wished she could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.

That means wearing shoes, otherwise I would have to dig out three bedrooms and a living room on the ground.

"Come on, stop blushing. Is there anything wrong with liking someone else? When I was pursuing your mother, that was..."

Meng Dahai was originally trying to comfort Meng Xue, but as they were talking, the topic strayed to himself.

"I've strayed off topic. What I actually want to say is that it's normal for you to like Sheng Jiale. There's no other young man as outstanding as him in the entire Hong Kong Island.

It's a pity that he already has a fiancée."

Meng Dahai shook his head with regret.

If possible, he really hopes that Meng Xue can be with Sheng Jiale, not only for the sake of benefits, but more out of trust in his daughter.

My daughter will eventually get married when she grows up, and Sheng Jiale is the best choice no matter how you look at it.

"I know that, I just couldn't help myself for the moment." Meng Xue's expression dimmed a little.

"Ugh……"

Meng Dahai sighed, "I think you two are really a match made in heaven. It's such a pity that you can't be together."

Meng Xue pursed her thin lips and said nothing, but a look of unwillingness occasionally flashed in her eyes.

She was unwilling to give up Sheng Jiale to other people.

Quietly, Meng Xue clenched her fists, and an idea began to emerge in her heart.

The top floor of Qiangsheng Entertainment City.

dong dong dong.

"Come in."

Dasha pushed open the door and walked into the office. "Master, the year is coming to an end, and it's time to prepare for dividends."

Hearing this, Sheng Jiale turned his gaze to the corner of the desk, where there was a desk calendar, and the date on it was indeed approaching the end of the year.

"Dasha, if you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have noticed that it's almost New Year's Day without me noticing."

Sheng Jiale said with some emotion.

This will be his first New Year in this world, and it means a lot to him.

"You can arrange this matter. Get Luo Tianhong, Tony, Tian Yangsheng and the others ready."

Sheng Jiale breathed a sigh of relief and gave the order.

"Yes, Master, leave it to me."

Dasha was familiar with this kind of thing and agreed immediately.

And he has no objection to distributing dividends to his subordinates.

Dasha could see that the relationship between Luo Tianhong and Sheng Jiale was unusual. It was not like an ordinary employment relationship. Instead, the relationship between the two parties was more like that of a lord and his retainers.

It is naturally necessary to give appropriate dividends to retainers.

Dasha talked some more about Qiangsheng Group and then said goodbye and left.

In the office, Sheng Jiale was smoking a cigar, his sight vaguely visible in the smoke.

After being in this world for so long, Sheng Jiale always thought about the past at the beginning, but as time went by, he has completely integrated into this place.

“Compared to the past, everything I’ve experienced here is much more exciting.”

Sheng Jiale exhaled a puff of smoke and muttered to himself.

In less than a year, he experienced more things than in his entire life.

Two days later.

"Boss, this is the dividend of Jingbai Real Estate this year, a total of 1.5 billion."

Xixili stood beside Sheng Jiale and reported, holding the documents in her hand.

She has studied with Dasha for a long time and can now do some simple financial reporting work.

"what about others?"

Sheng Jiale asked casually.

The 1.5 billion dividend could not change Sheng Jiale's expression.

The biggest change after going through so many things is definitely Sheng Jiale’s feeling towards money.

In the beginning, the reward of tens of millions could make Sheng Jiale very excited, but now, 1.5 billion can't even make him raise his eyes.

"Recently, we have acquired several good plots of land in Causeway Bay, Wan Chai, etc."

Xixili flipped through the documents and introduced.

"I see."

Sheng Jiale nodded and was about to say something else.

Ding ding ding.

At this moment his phone suddenly rang.

"Huo Jingliang?"

When Sheng Jiale saw the number, it turned out to be Huo Jingliang calling.

"Mr. Huo, how come you have time to call me?" Sheng Jiale pressed the answer button and said with a smile.

"Hahaha."

Huo Jingliang's hearty laughter came from the other end of the phone. "No one comes to visit you for no reason. It's almost the end of the year, right? I have organized an internal New Year's Eve banquet for Jingbai Real Estate. All the company's management will be there, and of course you will be there too.

How about it, Shengsheng, would you please give me a favor and come and participate?"

Huo Jingliang said the second half of the sentence in a joking tone.

His relationship with Sheng Jiale gradually deepened and was no longer just ordinary friends or partners.

"I can't say I'm being honored or not." Sheng Jiale laughed, "I'll be there no matter what time the banquet is held."

"That's great. I like your temper."

Huo Jingliang immediately announced the time of the banquet, which would take place in his villa.

"Okay, I will definitely be there then."

Sheng Jiale agreed, and then chatted with Huo Jingliang about some random things before hanging up the phone.

"Xiao Xili, please continue."

Sheng Jiale put the phone aside and signaled Xixili to continue reporting on his work.

"Yes, boss."

Xixili secretly glanced at Sheng Jiale and felt that when Sheng Jiale was working, he seemed like a different person.

Time flies, and soon it is the day for the New Year's Eve banquet.

On this day, Sheng Jiale dressed up carefully and changed into a dark black striped suit. The suit was tailor-made for him and was very slim-fitting, showing off his already outstanding figure to the fullest.

In fact, there are very few people who can match Sheng Jiale's figure. After many system rewards, Sheng Jiale's figure has become infinitely close to perfection.

And it does not change with the amount of fat consumed.

This alone is enough to make most people look inferior.

No matter how careful you are about your diet, it is impossible for an average person to maintain a perfect figure. Even if you manage to get in shape, it will be hard to keep your figure in shape after a while. (End of this chapter)
