As Zhao Jinsheng watched his men carefully loading the items they had bought from Huo Beixiao into the car, he took a moment to glare at the man with the large tattoo on his arm who had spoken.
"Don't you dare lay a hand on me! Grab your things and get back here!"
The other party was somewhat surprised and unwilling. "Boss, are we not going to do it? A whole 800,000, just given to that mainland guy like that?"
"You don't know anything!" Zhao Jinsheng spat. "Do you think that someone would dare to bring so many good things without some ability or backup plan?"
You want to lay a hand on them? They might be just waiting for you to do it!
Zhao Jinsheng is consistently cautious in his work.
He could clearly see when Huo Beixiao took these things out that they were the lowest quality items in Huo Beixiao's safe.
The fact that Huo Beixiao didn't take out the remaining items means that someone else must have wanted them.
Although he didn't know who the other person was, he was certain that the other person's identity was not simple.
It was only when Zhao Jinsheng caught a glimpse of the contents of Huo Beixiao's briefcase that he realized Huo Beixiao had deliberately told him the time their ship would dock.
And the fact that they were willing to let him pick them up was actually a test of him.
Zhao Jinsheng's guess was correct. Huo Beixiao and Yang Qiaoqiao dared to bring so many things to Hong Kong, so he must have connections here more than just them.
Huo Beixiao asked him to pick him up last night, and he did indeed have a test in mind.
After Zhao Jinsheng left, Huo Beixiao and Yang Qiaoqiao took the briefcase and prepared to go out.
As soon as they arrived outside the hotel, a man dressed in a full black suit, who looked like a bodyguard, walked up to them after comparing the photos, and bowed respectfully. "Mr. Huo, Mrs. Huo, my husband instructed me to come and pick you up."
After Huo Beixiao and Yang Qiaoqiao politely thanked him, they got into the car with the man.
After their car left, Zhao Jinsheng, who had deliberately stayed behind to see what Huo Beixiao was really like, broke out in a cold sweat.
The man next to him who had just asked him when he would make his move was so shocked that his mouth hung open.
"Boss... Boss, that... that's the Rong family's car?"
Zhao Jinsheng snapped out of his daze and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
Fortunately, I was cautious and clear-headed enough, and my transaction with Huo Beixiao was just a normal exchange of money for goods.
Otherwise, if they offend the Rong family, they won't be able to continue living in Hong Kong; they might not even know how they died.
Some time ago, when Huo Beixiao mentioned to Rong Shanjian that he was planning to come to Hong Kong to hire a designer to take back, he learned from Rong Shanjian that the branch of the Rong family that had fled overseas to avoid trouble had returned to Hong Kong years ago.
Business is doing very well now. Although it can't compare to the four major families in Hong Kong, it is still considered to be in the top tier below them.
Rong Shan immediately called the Rong family in the port city and asked them to take care of things for him.
The elderly members of the Rong family here had long missed their hometown and wanted to ask someone about the situation on the mainland, so they readily agreed.
When they arrived at the Rong family's manor, the younger generation of the Rong family had already gone to work at their company.
But when they got off the bus, Rong Shanjian's older sister, Rong Shanhui, was already waiting for them.
The old man's hair was already gray, but he looked very healthy, with a youthful face and kind eyes.
"Madam Rong, hello. I apologize for the intrusion and for disturbing you."
Huo Beixiao and Yang Qiaoqiao greeted Rong Shanhui politely.
Rong Shanhui kindly took Yang Qiaoqiao's hand and said, "My two young friends, you don't need to be so polite. You are friends of Shanjian, so you are my friends too."
"Come in, all of you, and sit down. Tell me, how is things in our country right now?"
Yang Qiaoqiao was also good at handling things. Rong Shanhui was kind to her, so she naturally took the opportunity to help the old woman into the house.
As they walked, Yang Qiaoqiao spoke softly to the old man about the current development in China.
As someone who had been reborn, Yang Qiaoqiao knew how astonishing China's rapid development during this period was in the eyes of later generations.
But actually, when she was in China, as someone swept up by the times, she didn't feel that much.
Now that they've stepped out of that environment, they objectively describe the current situation in China to the elderly. Not only was Rong Shanhui moved to tears, but Yang Qiaoqiao herself felt a surge of genuine pride and national pride.
"Great, great! It seems that our country's sleeping dragon of the East is finally about to awaken and let the world see its splendor." Rong Shanhui nodded repeatedly.
"I really want to go back to China and see for myself what my country is like now. I don't know if I'll ever have that chance again in my lifetime," Rong Shanhui said, wiping away her tears.
There is currently no direct communication between the mainland and Hong Kong. Although travel is possible, the procedures are very complicated.
Huo Beixiao and Yang Qiaoqiao were able to come here smoothly thanks to a lot of connections. This is one of the reasons why, even though An'an cried and begged them not to leave, they only postponed the trip slightly instead of canceling it outright.
Moreover, according to Rong Shanjian, the reason why Rong Shanhui's branch of the Rong family can't go back now is not just due to the overall situation, but also due to other reasons.
At this moment, Huo Beixiao took out the gifts they had brought and the things Rong Shanjian had asked them to bring, saying, "Madam Rong, these things were brought to you by Mr. Rong."
What Rong Shanjian brought to Rong Shanhui wasn't anything valuable; it was mostly local specialties from their hometown, pastries, and even a bottle of soil, which he said he dug up from their family's yard.
When Rong Shanhui saw those things, she was even more moved to tears. She quickly asked the maid to take the mountain produce to the kitchen to be processed by the chef, and then plated the pastries and brought them out.
In addition to a large pearl, Huo Beixiao and Yang Qiaoqiao also brought a Shu embroidery desktop screen as a gift.
This Shu embroidery screen wasn't commissioned by Yang Qiaoqiao; like Dongzhu, it was left by her maternal grandfather.
When Rong Shanhui saw the Shu embroidery screen, a flash of surprise crossed her eyes.
She even picked up the screen and examined it closely, her somewhat distorted eyes glistening with tears as she looked at Huo Beixiao and asked, "Little Huo, where did you get this screen from?"
