Repulse Bay, Guo Family Villa No. 28.
Liu Rumeng hung up the phone, and the just-right weak expression on her face disappeared instantly, and her eyes became cold and sober.
Without hesitation, she returned to her room.
He picked up another dedicated phone. This phone line had been specially encrypted. Lin Huowang secretly sent someone to install it in Liu Rumeng's room while the Guo family was not paying attention, to ensure that there was no risk of eavesdropping.
Liu Rumeng's slender fingers quickly dialed a secret number.
“Beep…beep…”
After two rings, the phone was picked up.
"He wants afternoon tea."
Liu Rumeng's voice was cold and her words were concise.
"Rejected?"
On the other end of the phone came Lin Huowang's voice, which was calm, confident, and had a sense of control.
"Yeah. As you said last time, you're worried about ruining his reputation and it's for his own good.
It sounds like... he enjoyed it very much and felt a little sorry for me."
A faint smile appeared on Liu Rumeng's lips, so quick that it was almost impossible to catch.
"Good. Keep it up."
Lin Huowang's voice was filled with approval and deeper calculation, "Remember, he asked you out three times, but you only agreed once.
The best location is a public but controlled place, such as afternoon tea in the Peninsula Hotel lobby or a public tea party at a members-only art exhibition.
If he were photographed by reporters, he would say, "Mr. Huo is humorous and a very valued friend of our Guo family. However, we have only just met, so please give him some space, media friends."
Remember your attitude: be reserved, and be reserved again.
Don't rush to respond to any personal, emotional questions.
If there are any further questions, just pass the ball to the Huo family and tell them about their family traditions and education. I believe that Young Master Huo knows how to handle things properly.
At this point, Lin Huowang paused again and added, "If he offers you a valuable gift privately, politely decline it the first two times. Then, choose a less conspicuous item to accept the third time. Then, return it with something of comparable value that shows your 'thought' but isn't expensive. For example... a new book you've recently found interesting, or a copy of a famous calligraphic work."
"I see. Then... Awang! Has your side been affected recently? I saw on the news that your comic magazine..."
Liu Rumeng responded, a hint of worry in her voice.
"Don't worry! Mengmeng! Everything is according to my plan."
Lin Huowang smiled and comforted her, and then Liu Rumeng told Lin Huowang what Huo Zhenting had just told her on the phone, that Shangguan Xiaobao and Huang Yulang came to his office to find him, but were driven away by him.
Lin Huowang smiled when he heard this, and thought to himself that men of all ages are essentially the same!
Huo Zhenting deliberately revealed this matter to Liu Rumeng on the phone. Wasn't he trying to create an image of a gentleman and upright in front of Liu Rumeng to win more favor from her?
To put it bluntly, fundamentally, men are all just peacocks that want to or are already spreading their feathers in front of the woman they like.
After that, the two of them talked to each other for a few more words and then hung up the phone.
…
Repulse Bay, Villa No. 3, study.
Lin Huowang hung up the phone with Liu Rumeng, and a faint smile appeared on his face, as if everything was under control.
The study was unusually quiet, with only the ticking of the antique clock as the sound.
He walked over to another dedicated phone and dialed again.
This time, he used a seemingly ordinary, but also top-level encrypted line that led directly to the Huo family's most core study in Deep Water Bay.
These telephone lines were secretly laid out by Lin Huowang in the past few days with the help and connections of Huo Yingdong.
In the current environment in Hong Kong Island, these are also basic operations of the wealthy class.
…
After a short wait, the call was connected.
"Mr. Huo?"
Lin Huowang's voice was filled with a familiar teasing tone, as if he was chatting with an old friend. "It's me. I just heard an interesting story."
Huo Yingdong's hearty, resonant, and full-bodied laughter came from the other end of the phone: "Hahaha, Mr. Lin! What new news is there that is worthy of your calling?
Did my 'darling son' do something bad again? "
"Mr. Huo is as good as a god."
Lin Huowang chuckled, "I just heard that two 'local earth dragons' wanted to cling to Young Master Huo, but they were kicked out by our Young Master Huo with a loud 'get out'.
That scene...tsk, it must be spectacular."
"oh?"
Huo Yingdong's voice was filled with amusement. "Earth dragons? Which two?"
"Shangguan Xiaobao and Wong Yuk-long are comics artists from Hong Kong.
I heard that he used some underhanded means to try to destroy my "Dragon Jump" to take credit for it, but ended up running into Master Huo's trap.
Young Master Huo was already in a rage, so weren't their dirty tricks just stirring up a hornet's nest?
He immediately turned hostile and kicked me out."
"Hahaha! So satisfying!"
Huo Yingdong's laughter made the microphone buzz, "Great! Great!
This despicable thing wants to enter my Huo family?
act recklessly!
This kid still has some backbone. He didn't get so angry that he even wanted to taste shit!
Like his father, me!"
There was undisguised admiration in his words, and he was pleased with his son's behavior in upholding the bottom line of business.
Moreover, after several intimate conversations and understandings, Huo Yingdong and Lin Huowang were no longer so "polite" and "restrained" when speaking.
He doesn't even have the slightest air of an elder.
The two chatted for a while, and Huo Yingdong said with a hint of sarcasm: "This kid, he used to walk through a sea of flowers without getting a single leaf on him. He is a playboy, but he has never lost his composure like this.
