As the tone of Annie's voice changed, a picture appeared in Chen Dong's mind: Annie holding a phone in one hand, the other on her hip, pouting, looking both angry and charming.
"Honey, don't be angry. I just had a moment to spare, that's why I called you. I just got back to Hong Kong yesterday at noon and have been busy ever since."
Hearing Chen Dong say that, Annie's next words, though her tone softened, still carried a hint of sourness: "I know you're a big boss, dealing with big business, so why did you go to see Li Xiaoman as soon as you got back? Didn't you bring her a gift?"
"Hey, how did you know?"
Anne scoffed, "If you don't want anyone to know, don't do it in the first place!"
Chen Dong kept saying nice things to comfort her, saying, "I'm just going to see her on the way. The main thing is to find out some information... You know... my feelings for you... Okay, stop being so sour! I've also prepared a gift for you, just waiting for you to come back so I can give it to you personally. Besides, if you were in Hong Kong, I would definitely be the first person to see you."
"Hmph, you know how to talk. Fine, I forgive you," she said, her tone revealing a sense of magnanimity.
Hearing Annie's words, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, this young lady isn't in Hong Kong, otherwise I really wouldn't know what to do.
Although he knew that if he went to see Annie first, Zhou Huimin wouldn't say anything.
However, she was definitely not very happy.
Given her somewhat introverted personality, she might secretly find a place to wipe away her tears.
This is not what I wanted to see.
What I want is for them to be happy and joyful, and of course, safety is the prerequisite for everything.
I still have a lot of work to do, the most important of which is time management.
Otherwise, with so many girlfriends, what if a conflict arises? Wouldn't they end up beating each other senseless?
Being caught in the middle leaves one in a dilemma.
Sometimes, I really can't understand how those wealthy and powerful families in ancient times could have multiple wives and concubines and live in peace.
It's also very likely that things won't be peaceful, as can be seen from many of the movies and TV shows I've watched.
Most importantly, times have changed.
For most of ancient times, women had a lower status than men and could only be manipulated.
But things are different now; men and women are equal, and women are independent.
They have their own careers and can support themselves, so they don't need to depend on men, and thus have more say and choices.
If he hadn't been outstanding to begin with, and hadn't been doing so well after transmigrating, making him seem far superior to the average person, he really wouldn't have been able to attract girls like Annie and Vivian Chow.
However, it's really best not to overthink these things.
The more I think about it, the more I realize how awful I am.
So he brought the topic back.
It gave a general account of Li Ka-shing's experiences.
Upon hearing Chen Dong's explosive news, Annie's attention was quickly diverted.
She said with concern, "Then you must be careful."
“Don’t worry, I have Ah Long with me, and other bodyguards too. Besides, I’m reminding you to be careful, shouldn’t you be careful about your own safety as well?” After a pause, he said to Annie, “What I’m worried about is you. You’re such a beautiful woman, you need to be careful when you’re out and about. Whether you get robbed or assaulted, it will make me very sad…”
Before Chen Dong could finish speaking, Annie spat on the phone.
She said, quite embarrassed, "What nonsense are you talking about? You can't expect anything good to come out of your mouth!"
Chen Dong could picture her face turning completely red.
Although she usually acts very tough and has a fiery temper, she still gets embarrassed when Chen Dong says some rather explicit things.
Of course, it was precisely these behaviors of hers that made Chen Dong feel that she was still very feminine.
Perhaps, this is what makes this genius girl so remarkable.
She knew her strengths, and she also knew her identity: she was a woman.
More importantly, she is adept at using these strengths to achieve her goals.
Instead of being like some women who are not smart enough, or rather, too arrogant, and grow up to be tomboys.
Their biggest mistake was abandoning their strengths and choosing to use their weaknesses to attack their strengths.
Although their choice wasn't exactly wrong, well, hehe.
Chen Dong stopped his wandering thoughts on this matter because he remembered something important.
So he said, "Honey, do me a favor."
Hearing his tone, Annie knew it was serious business, so she also became serious and said, "Okay, go ahead!"
Chen Dong then said that he had received information that Li Ka-shing had invested in a telecommunications project in the United Kingdom this year.
He wanted her to confirm whether the project was really underway, and it was possible that Li Ka-shing would name the new company Orange.
Annie immediately agreed, "Okay, no problem, I'll check right away. I'll give it to you in two hours at the latest, is that alright? Will that be enough time?"
"There's plenty of time! Thank you so much, my little one!"
"Hmph, you bad boy. How am I small?" Annie retorted playfully.
Chen Dong immediately changed his tune: "Okay, you're not small, you're very big, my precious Da Bao!"
"..." Annie was speechless for a moment.
All I could hear on the phone was her breathing.
Chen Dong, on the other hand, could almost smell her gentle fragrance as he listened to her familiar breathing.
For a time, he also missed her endlessly.
