Huo Qiqi was about to walk into the door when she suddenly heard someone talking behind her. She turned around and found that the person who was talking was her acquaintance, Zou Meimei, the eldest daughter of the Zou family.
"Meimeimei, long time no see. You come here so late. Is there something you want to talk to me about?" Seeing Zou Meimei's anxious look, Huo Qiqi went straight to the point and asked directly.
"Qiqi, it's like this. My uncle is seriously ill and urgently needs the water of life, but I don't have any at home. There are no auctions at this time, so I can only come to you to try my luck. Don't worry, I will definitely pay according to the price at the auction." Zou Meimei said in a tearful voice.
After hearing Zou Meimei's words, Huo Qiqi thought for a moment and said, "Meimei, saving your uncle won't be a problem. I happen to have a bottle of Water of Life here. Let's go inside first and settle my friend. Then I'll go find the Water of Life and follow you to take a look."
Only then did Zou Meimei realize that Huo Qiqi was surrounded by so many strangers she had never met before, and she said awkwardly, "Qiqi, I was too anxious and lost my composure. Okay, let's go in and get everyone settled first."
Zou Meimei focused her attention on Xiao Li and the others, thinking, "Huo Qiqi is truly amazing. She disappeared for so long, and when she reappeared, there were several beautiful girls around her."
She stepped forward and said to Xiao Li and the others, "Hello everyone, my name is Zou Meimei, you can call me Meimei from now on. I live nearby, and Qiqi and I are good friends. I'm really sorry to have disturbed your rest."
Seeing Zou Meimei being so polite, Xiao Li and the others also greeted her with a smile. Tang Lili, who was standing by, said, "Qiqi, I noticed that the villas here are so big and beautiful. Are they very expensive?"
Huo Qiqi thought for a moment and smiled at Tang Lili, "The scenery here is pretty good, and it's close to the beach. I quite like it here. If you're willing, you can live here in the future. Of course, you can move out if you want."
As Huo Qiqi was speaking, dozens of people, led by Shen Lan and Wei Hong, rushed in quickly. When they came to Huo Qiqi, they said respectfully, "Welcome home, boss."
Shen Lan, the leader, looked at the large and small packages beside Huo Qiqi and said to the servants behind her, "Hurry up and take all the luggage in. The cook should hurry up and cook. The maid should boil hot water for every room."
At Shen Lan's command, the villa staff immediately started to act. Led by Huo Qiqi, everyone walked into the living room. After entering the living room, Xiao Li and others were in great shock. Although they had seen Huo Qiqi's villa in Beijing, there was a big gap compared to here. The decoration here was more modern and technological.
Director Chen did not expect that Huo Qiqi actually had such a luxurious residence in Hong Kong, but when she thought about it carefully, it made sense. After all, Huo Qiqi was the most business-minded girl she had ever met in her life, so it was normal for her to achieve what she has today.
After everyone was seated, Shen Lan asked the maid to bring tea and some small cakes. After the things were put away, she noticed Zou Meimei next to Huo Qiqi. She smiled at Zou Meimei and said, "Miss Zou, would you like some coffee?"
Hearing Shen Lan's question, Zou Meimei smiled lightly and said softly, "Your boss told you that I like coffee, right? Please prepare a cup of coffee for me, with less sugar, thank you."
Tang Lili looked at Zou Meimei with a puzzled look on her face, and lowered her voice to whisper in Huo Qiqi's ear, "Qiqi, who is this Miss Zou? She seems very elegant."
"Lily, you're right. Meimei is the apple of the eye of the Zou family, one of the four great families in Hong Kong. Naturally, she has an extraordinary demeanor."
Hearing Huo Qiqi introduce herself like this, Zou Meimei pouted and said unhappily, "Qiqi, why don't you tell me that you are the number one among the four major families in Hong Kong? Did you know that you are the first tycoon with assets exceeding 100 billion Hong Kong dollars? And why don't you restore your original appearance? It's too weird to look at this ugly face. You know, you are the number one goddess president in Hong Kong. This face doesn't live up to your reputation."
Hearing Zou Meimei say this, Xiao Li and others were completely stunned. They really didn't expect that Huo Qiqi's career in Hong Kong was so big, and Zou Meimei actually said that Huo Qiqi's current face was fake. Director Chen understood that Huo Qiqi did this purely for self-protection. She knew that in this era, a little orphan with a good-looking appearance was very dangerous.
Xiao Li and Tang Lili looked at Huo Qiqi with dissatisfaction. They said in unison, "Qiqi, you must return to your original appearance immediately, otherwise we will pester you today and prevent you from going anywhere."
Hearing the two of them say this, Huo Qiqi glanced at Zou Meimei with a hint of annoyance, then said, "Okay, you guys wait for me for a moment. I'll go back to my room to get the Water of Life and restore my true appearance."
After Huo Qiqi left, under Xiao Li and Tang Lili's soft and hard persuasion, Zou Meimei briefly recounted what happened to Huo Qiqi in Hong Kong. The more Director Chen listened, the more shocked she became. This time, she was completely convinced by Huo Qiqi.
Half an hour later, Huo Qiqi appeared in front of everyone. Her clothes were still the same, but Huo Qiqi's true appearance made many girls in the living room feel ashamed because Huo Qiqi was so beautiful.
Tang Lili, who was standing by, immediately came over to Huo Qiqi's side, looked her up and down carefully, and said angrily, "Qiqi, you're so mean. You've been wearing a mask in Beijing all this time, and you didn't even tell me. I'm angry."
Huo Qiqi hurried forward, took Tang Lili's hand, and said seriously, "Lili, I didn't mean to deceive you. A lot of things happened to Qi during that time, so I had to be careful."
Seeing Huo Qiqi's concerned look, Tang Lili burst into laughter and said, "Qiqi, can you tell me why you became so beautiful? I want to be beautiful too."
Looking at everyone's expectant expressions, Huo Qiqi smiled and said, "I do have a way to make your skin whiter, but I don't have any other ideas."
Hearing Huo Qiqi say this, everyone's expectations became even stronger. Having fair skin is already very good. Everyone knows that a white complexion can hide all ugliness, and they also know that their facial shape and bone structure are good.
Seeing everyone's happy faces, Huo Qiqi turned and returned to the bedroom. When she came out again, she had more bottles filled with interstellar well water in her hands. "This is what will make your skin fairer. Remember, after drinking it, go to the bathroom and wash up thoroughly."
Seeing that everyone's emotions had calmed down, Huo Qiqi said to Zou Meimei, "Meimei, now that everyone has been settled, let me go with you."
"No, I want to go too."
