"Ha ha!"
Upon hearing this, Fok Chun-ting couldn't help but burst out laughing. He said seriously, "It seems that this time, no matter how arrogant this Japanese guy is, he can't do anything to TVB! Sir Run Run Shaw and Miss Fang's move is really a brilliant one! He's been left speechless!"
Beforehand, Peter Ho had no idea about TVB's tactics and plans, and Mona Fong only hinted at some attitudes to him to some extent.
It was only during the last segment that Ho Sin-ting suddenly realized what was going on.
Now that he thinks about it all, Ho Chun-ting feels that Fang Yihua is an unfathomable woman.
This was definitely a difficult strategy that killed several birds with one stone. It not only hyped up the Miss Hong Kong pageant, suppressed Liu Rumeng, indirectly slapped Xiao Lin Tianwang in the face, but also put him, Peter Ho, and Rebecca Chiu, in the spotlight, and made Xiao Lin Tianwang suffer a loss with nowhere to retaliate.
In particular, when thinking of the brief private conversation with Zhu Lingling after the game last night, Ho Chun-ting felt an indescribable heat in his heart.
Yes!
After the finals yesterday, he not only gave Liu Rumeng a rose, but also invited her to have a late-night snack together. The ostensible reason was to celebrate her victory.
Zhu Lingling's temperament was different from that of ordinary women. She had the halo of the Miss Hong Kong champion, as well as the simplicity and tenacity that came from her grassroots background. When facing him, the eldest son of the Fok family, her perfect reserve and vague sense of acceptance made him feel fresh and full of conquest.
She did not rush towards him as impatiently as other women, but Huo Zhenting still understood the signals conveyed in her bright eyes.
Finally, an impulse came over him. He stood up abruptly, straightened his suit, and strode towards his father, Huo Yingdong's office.
Yes!
At this point, Ho Chun-ting finally made his choice in his heart.
He also knew very well that as the heir of the Huo family, now in his early thirties, he must find someone he loves and completely get rid of his past public image of a playboy through a stable marriage.
“Daddy!”
After arriving at Fok Ying-tung's office, Ho Chun-ting didn't waste any time talking and went straight to the point, his tone filled with determination. "I've decided to officially pursue Zhu Lingling and even marry her."
Huo Yingdong was hunched over documents at his desk when he looked up, frowning slightly. "Zhu Lingling? The new Miss Hong Kong? Her looks, temperament, and conversation are quite good. Her family background... although a little thin, is clean. But, have you really thought it through?"
"Think it over, Daddy!"
Fok Chun-ting said confidently, "She is very good, different from any woman I have known before. Moreover, she is now the Miss Hong Kong champion who is the focus of Hong Kong. Marrying her will also be good for the reputation of our Fok family."
On the way here, Ho Chun-ting had already thought of many reasons to convince his father.
After all, compared with the women he had played with before, Zhu Lingling was much better in terms of appearance, temperament, fame and reputation. Huo Zhen was quite confident that he could convince his father.
As for Zhu Lingling's choice as the eldest daughter-in-law, Huo Yingdong was silent for a few seconds before saying, "Well. Just think it over carefully. Miss Zhu...is also a good girl. She is worthy of the Huo family's lintel."
Mr. Fok did not ask any further questions afterwards, nor did he show any enthusiastic support, but the mere words "I can afford it" were already a tacit approval of Zhu Lingling.
After getting his father's approval, Ho Chun-ting was even more delighted.
He returned to his office and immediately dialed the number. His voice carried an unquestionable command: "Book me a table at the best French restaurant at the Peninsula Hotel for tonight immediately! Yes, the quietest room with the best view! It must be quiet and private."
Then, he personally dialed the number Zhu Lingling had left for him and invited her very gentlemanly, "Miss Zhu? It's me, Peter Ho. I wonder if I'd be honored to have the most dazzling pearl of Hong Kong Island to dinner with me tonight. After all, yesterday's celebratory supper was a bit too sloppy. I'll make up for it with a grand celebration dinner tonight. How about it? Don't worry, it's just you and me, at the Peninsula Hotel."
Zhu Lingling on the other end of the phone was surrounded by a huge sense of happiness and accomplishment at this moment.
The Miss Hong Kong crown was still shining on her head, and last night, Peter Ho's bouquet of roses and affectionate eyes made her heart beat fast.
Now, the eldest son of the top Hong Kong family, the Huo family, has called and invited me to dinner at the Peninsula Hotel...
It was all perfect like a dream.
She suppressed her excitement and tried to make her voice sound calm and elegant. "Mr. Huo, you are so polite... It's my honor to receive your invitation. Tonight... I'll take a look, there shouldn't be anything else, it's okay."
After hanging up the phone, she couldn't help but cover her hot cheeks and turned around in the room excitedly.
Zhu's father and mother had already learned the great news that their daughter had been noticed by Young Master Huo when she won the championship, and now they were both very happy.
"Lingling! You must dress up nicely tonight! Seize the opportunity!"
Zhu's father's face was glowing with an unprecedented glow, and the crumbling small factory at home seemed to have a solid backing in an instant.
He carefully instructed Zhu Lingling, "That's Mr. Huo! He's a wealthy husband who many people would love to have! In fact, he's worth more than ten Miss Hong Kong winners! You must be sensible and behave well! Do your best to please Mr. Huo, understand?"
"Yes! Lingling!"
Zhu's mother also nervously taught her, "The Huo family is a noble family. You must be generous and decent, talk less, smile more. Young Master Huo is very concerned about his reputation. Even if you have to be a little reserved, you must give him enough face in front of others..."
