On the other side, the Huo family.
Ever since Peter Ho returned from the TVB building at noon, he has changed from his previous listless state to a cheerful and energetic person.
When his younger brothers saw his state, they all started talking about it in a very strange way.
"Brother, did you win the lottery today? You've been like a lost soul since you came back from London two days ago. How come you're dressed so coquettishly today, as if you took an aphrodisiac?"
"It's not normal! I heard before that my eldest brother lost a lot of money in the London futures market. Then he was forced by my father to come back and take over the family company.
Therefore, what could make him so excited could not be about his career. I think it is likely that Big Brother has fallen in love with some woman. "
"Yes, yes, yes! When he came back from studying abroad eight years ago, he was hanging out in bars and picking up girls every day. He was so flirty.
Later, he got tired of playing around and focused on his career. It seems that I haven’t seen him trying to pick up girls in several years.”
"Brother, given your status as the eldest son of the Huo family, do you need to pick up girls? All those pretty girls would throw themselves at you as long as you give them a glance. It wouldn't be difficult at all."
"So it seems that the woman that Big Brother has taken a fancy to this time is quite difficult to pursue? In other words, she must be extremely beautiful to make Big Brother, who is used to seeing all kinds of beauties, so interested in her."
…
Because of the "eldest son inheritance system" set by Fok's mother, in the Fok family, except Fok Chun-ting, other brothers and sisters are not eligible to inherit the family company. They can only live a wealthy and idle life, or rely on the family to develop their own careers.
Therefore, in a wealthy family like the Huo family, the relationship between brothers and sisters was quite harmonious in the early stages, because there was no dispute from the beginning, and the eldest son Huo Zhenting naturally enjoyed everything.
But!
Secretly, the younger brothers and sisters naturally felt a little resentful about the eldest brother having everything alone.
This also led to some inevitable turmoil within the Huo family over disputes over inheritance after Huo Yingdong's death.
This has already begun to show signs now that Peter Ho has completely intervened in and taken over the Ho family's business.
Several brothers and sisters noticed this, and Mr. Huo naturally felt it as well.
"Where did Zhen Ting go today?"
Huo Yingdong asked the housekeeper beside him.
"The eldest young master represented the company today and went to TVB to discuss the sponsorship and advertising for this year's Miss Hong Kong pageant. When he came back at noon, he was in a different state."
The butler answered truthfully.
"hehe!"
Huo Yingdong understood immediately, "I thought it was something! He's looking for comfort in a woman again. But it's okay, let him vent his anger. Just keep a close eye on him and don't let him take it too seriously.
It’s okay to have fun, but the heir of our Huo family cannot marry an actor into the family.”
"Okay, sir. I'll pay attention."
The butler nodded silently in response.
But Ho Chun-ting was in his room, flipping through one newspaper after another that he had just had bought.
These are not major newspapers, but gossip tabloids that are printed and published in the evening. They pay special attention to timeliness and publish some gossip happening in Hong Kong Island as soon as possible before some major newspapers.
Huo Zhenting was holding these newspapers, which all contained the morning's interview with Liu Rumeng and a slightly blurry black-and-white photo.
"Hmph! These tabloids really know how to attract attention. They only showed Liu Rumeng's back and exaggerated her beauty with words. Add in the background of Guo's granddaughter's identity, and they can immediately attract the attention of those petty citizens..."
When Huo Zhenting saw some of the texts that slandered and mocked Liu Rumeng, he was immediately furious. Without thinking, he immediately called the editors-in-chief of some major newspapers he knew.
"Hello! Editor Zhao, it's me, Peter Ho. Yes! You should have noticed that the Guo family in Repulse Bay has a granddaughter who is participating in the Miss Hong Kong pageant, and her registration has caused some disturbances.
There are some rumors out there, and some tabloids don't know the truth and just write whatever they want.
I think this is a huge slander against Miss Liu Rumeng of the Guo family.
Well! I hope that your Oriental Daily can publish a positive report to help Ms. Liu Rumeng register for the Miss Hong Kong competition and clear her name.
Who says that ladies from wealthy families can’t apply for Miss Hong Kong? Who says that applying must be for fame, fortune, and money? "
The first call that Peter Ho made was to Editor-in-Chief Zhao of Oriental Daily News, the best-selling newspaper in Hong Kong Island.
