Ever since Xia Shao's identity was exposed, the atmosphere in the school has become very fanatical. %&*";Wherever Xia Shao goes, she gets looks at strange species. The students seem to be unable to believe that there is such a person studying with them. This is simply unbelievable!
Xia Shao was almost surrounded by envious eyes, adoring eyes and curious eyes. Even during class, the teacher looked at her with admiration. Director Lin of the Education Department has been prejudiced against Xia Shao ever since she came to school. After her identity was exposed, when she met her in the corridor, she could always see the complicated look in this serious woman's eyes.
The mainland students who were always thought to be breaking school rules and relying on family connections to get into the school suddenly turned out to be the best students in the history of St. Mary's Girls' High School. You can imagine how it feels.
Although Xia Shao had some unpleasant experiences with Director Lin, she had no grudge against her. This woman just puts school first in everything and is a bit rigid.
Xia Shao remained unfazed and unaffected by the adulation and fanaticism around her, but Qu Ran discovered that Xia Shao had been in a particularly good mood in recent days, walking with a bit of briskness. I originally thought that she was happy because of the popularity of Huaxia Group in Hong Kong, but after asking, I found out that she was happy because she was going home for the annual vacation soon.
When Qu Ran learned that Xia Shao's parents had a good relationship, he looked envious. Her parents also had a very good relationship, but unfortunately, her father passed away too early, leaving her and her mother behind.
Xia Shao saw Qu Ran's thoughts and said with a smile: "I came to Hong Kong to study, and I can't see my parents for half a year. Although your father is no longer alive, at least you can go back to accompany your mother every week."
Qu Ran smiled and nodded, "That's right. My dad used to say that a perfect life is like perfect ingredients, hard to find."
Although in Qu Ran's eyes, Xia Shao's life was perfect. But she probably has her own troubles and headaches, but she just doesn't know them.
Xia Shao lowered her eyes and smiled when she heard Qu Ran talking about the ingredients. Liu Banwang expected to come back after the New Year, and the construction of the website could be put into trial operation. At that time, she could consider letting Qu Ran try it out on the website. This might help improve her and her mother's lives.
"Tch! You two, please don't come here." At this time, Zhan Ruonan chewed a piece of beef tendon and rolled his eyes at Xia Shao and Qu Ran, "You can still see your parents. My parents have been here since they gave birth to me. He was beaten to death.”
Xia Shao and Qu Ran were both stunned when they heard this. This was the first time Zhan Ruonan talked about her own affairs.
"I was raised by my eldest brother. When he was a child, he took me to live in a slum-like place before he joined the triads. He would go out to fight every day and grab lunch and come back to feed me. I still thought about how I would grow up in the future. , I wanted to go out with him to fight and help him. As a result, he entered the triad." Zhan Ruonan shrugged, with a nonchalant expression, completely unable to tell how difficult that experience was for her to look back on. But these short words can make people imagine Zhan Ruonan's childhood experience. It's not without reason that she likes fighting so much now and behaves like a little girl.
Qu Ran couldn't imagine that kind of life. She thought it was unfortunate that she and her mother were kicked out of the house by their relatives. Unexpectedly, Zhan Ruonan's experience was even worse.
The atmosphere was a bit dull, but Zhan Ruonan hated the dull atmosphere. He immediately looked up at Xia Shao and changed the topic while chewing beef tendon, "We will have a holiday in two days. Are you leaving Hong Kong as soon as you have a holiday? Let's go out to have fun on the night of the holiday. ?”
"If I was fine, I would go out. But unfortunately, you were a step late. I was busy that day." Xia Shao smiled apologetically.
The day after the Huaxia Group's press conference and dance party, Xia Shao received a call from Luo Yuee. She pleasantly claimed on the phone that Xia Shao was not mistaken, she was really pregnant! Now, the entire Luo family was pleasantly surprised by the good news. Luo Yuee'e's parents, who were on vacation, also rushed back by plane. Even her two brothers who were doing business abroad also returned to Hong Kong. The whole family gathered together and heard about Xia Shao, and they all wanted to meet her.
As Xia Shao's exams approached, she kept putting this matter off. But Luo Yuee said that no matter what, she would go to Luo's house for a banquet before Xia Shao went home for the New Year. It was hard to refuse the kindness, so Xia Shao had no choice but to agree.
Although the teaching system in Hong Kong schools is very different from that in mainland China, Xia Shao has become accustomed to it after coming to school for a few months. Final exams were not difficult for her, thanks to her hard work in school.
The end of the exam happens to be Friday. There is no so-called winter vacation in Hong Kong schools. Most of them are Spring Festival holidays, and the time is not long, only ten days. Including the two weekends before and after, Xia Shao only has half a month's vacation.
In the evening of the day when the exam ended, Xia Shao walked to the school gate with her bag on one shoulder, saying goodbye to Qu Ran and Zhan Ruonan with a smile as she walked.
Qu Ran was a little reluctant and said, "Are you leaving tomorrow? I'll see you off at the airport."
Zhan Ruonan couldn't bear to see this scene of crying before parting, and immediately waved his hands irritably, "Isn't it just to go home for the New Year! You guys are making a movie! It's like parting between life and death. Hurry up! Come back as soon as you leave, you owe me Two meals for me!”
"Just remember those two meals." Xia Shao smiled at her.
At this time, the three of them had reached the school gate. As soon as we arrived at the school gate, a bunch of reporters surrounded us!
Xia Shao was not surprised at all by this situation. The students leaving school and the parents who came to pick them up all looked at Xia Shao. Xia Shao had no choice but to answer a few questions, and then saw a Lamborghini approaching from a distance.
The car stopped, and a man in a suit and leather shoes got out, came to Xia Shao and said, "Hello, Miss Xia. I am from the Luo family. Our wife asked me to pick you up. The makeup artist and your dress have already been At the studio, I’ll take you there.”
Xia Shao was a little surprised. She had originally planned to take a taxi to the mall to buy a dress and dress up like last time before going to Luo's house. %&*";Unexpectedly, Luo Yuee'e had already prepared it for her.
When the surrounding reporters heard that it was the Luo family, they flashed their eyes at Xia Shao and the people coming from the Luo family. Under the attention of everyone at the school gate, Xia Shao said goodbye to Zhan Ruonan and Qu Ran, and then sat down. Got into the Luo family's car.
An hour later, Xia Shao entered the Luo family mansion. As soon as they entered, Chen Da and the two middle-aged men who came up to him brightened up.
Xia Shao wore a light purple evening dress tonight. The style was simple and chic. A faint peony flower on one shoulder was the only embellishment, but it made her look elegant and graceful.
"Director Xia, when I came back to Hong Kong, it was all about you! As soon as I got off the plane, I thought something big happened in Hong Kong, haha!" The man who greeted Xia Shao into the room smiled cheerfully, and his eyebrows were the same as those of Luo Yue'e. There is a slight resemblance, and at first glance he is Luo Yuee'e's brother.
Xia Shao smiled and shook hands with the man, "Sister Yue'e, please tell me it's a family dinner tonight. Since it's a family banquet, it's good that we are friends."
But her eyes were on the face of the person next to the man, and she raised her eyebrows slightly. These two people are actually twin brothers! No wonder she could see signs of twins in Luo Yuee's face. It turned out that the Luo family had this family history.
"It's so refreshing! No wonder my sister, Miss Duxia, is full of praises. It seems that your temperaments are really compatible." The man suddenly threw his head back and laughed, and enthusiastically invited Xia Shao in.
The Luo family can be said to be a gathering of family members tonight!
There were two old men sitting on the sofa in the living room. The old man had a smile on his face and kind eyes. The old woman is a woman with a foreign appearance. Although she is old, she has a graceful and noble temperament. She sits on the sofa, making people think that they are seeing a real aristocrat at a glance.
Xia Shao knew that Luo Yue'e's father was in business, and her mother was the daughter of a viscount who was the former governor of Hong Kong. She was naturally well-bred in etiquette.
Although she knew that the Luo family was grateful to her, the other party was an old man after all, and Xia Shao had no intention of letting the two old men get up to greet her first. So he walked over and greeted the two old people with a smile. There are also two older men sitting on the sofa, with majestic looks. Judging from their appearance, the sky is high and bright, which is the appearance of officials. Xia Shao concluded at a glance that the two were Luo Yuee's uncle and uncle who served as directors of the Department of Civil Affairs and the Department of Justice.
Mr. Luo stood up with a smile, "I don't dare to be a gift from the master. Mr. Tang's disciple is indeed well-deserved. I have already heard about my daughter and son-in-law. I really want to thank the master."
Mrs. Luo smiled and nodded to Xia Shao, but just as she was about to speak, Luo Yuee came down from upstairs supported by a servant. The whole family stood up with concerned eyes, as if Luo Yuee was the family's key protection target at this time.
This made Luo Yue'e feel a little embarrassed. After coming down, she took Xia Shao's hand and said with a smile: "Sister, I don't know how to thank you. You are really my lucky star! Ever since I met you, everything seems to have changed." alright."
"Isn't that right? The couple have been arguing for more than ten years. I thought I would have to watch them fight like this until I die." Luo's father said with a smile.
"That's not because Yue'e has bad taste and picks and chooses, making trouble for herself! I said it at the beginning..."
"Brother! It's been so many years, what are you still saying about him?" Luo Yue'e interrupted her eldest brother Luo Xunyang and gave him a fierce look, which made the latter shut up immediately.
Chen Da smiled at the side and seemed to no longer care about the Luo family's opinions about him. He helped his wife and was about to sit down when the servant said that the dinner was ready.
Under the auspices of Luo Mu, the family warmly invited Xia Shao to sit in the restaurant.
Tonight was a Western meal. Mother Luo, who was born as a daughter of the Governor of Hong Kong, cooked soup, baked bread and desserts. She invited all the British chefs at home to introduce the dishes to Xia Shao in person, treating her like a distinguished guest. .
Despite this, Luo Yuee'e still solemnly introduced Xia Shao to her family, "This is the chairman of Huaxia Group, Miss Xia Shao. When we met before, she only called her Mr. Tang's disciple, but she didn't tell me that she was She has such a great ability! I was really shocked that night at the press conference! But no matter what, we hit it off right away, and now she is my sister. Since she is my sister, she is one of my own family."
As Luo Yuee'e spoke, she took Xia Shao to introduce her family and said: "Sister, these are my parents! This is my uncle, the Secretary for Administration of Hong Kong. Even though he will retire next year, he has a lot of connections. What will happen in the future? Just go to him! This is your third uncle, the Secretary for Justice, who is still a few years away from retirement. Isn’t your company going to use legal means to acquire equity with Qu Tao? You’re welcome, leave it to him! These two are the eldest brothers Second brother, I run jewelry and export trade in the UK. I will go to Europe in the future and let them entertain you!"
Xia Shao suddenly felt dumbfounded, but the Luo family was obviously used to her straightforward temperament. The whole family laughed, but they all looked at Xia Shao.
Although I had learned about Xia Shao's self-made experience and achievements in Hong Kong from business magazines and TV, I was still amazed when I saw her in person. This girl's smile is sweet and peaceful, and she doesn't look like a figure in the mall who has created legends one after another. But she is!
Xia Shao knew that Luo Yue'e introduced her to her family in this way to help her establish some connections, so she nodded generously with a smile and greeted Luo's family again.
This time, the Luo family's eyes lit up. You must know that their family members are well-known figures in politics and the business world. Especially Luo Mu, the daughter of a British Viscount, a true noble. Many people were restrained and did not dare to say anything in front of Luo's mother, but Xia Shao was just starting out, but she was leisurely and calm. This kind of magnanimity is indeed rare. This couldn't help but make the Luo family feel more favorable to Xia Shao.
The dinner continued in a harmonious atmosphere. Luo Yue'e's eldest brother Luo Xuanyang has a cheerful and lively temperament and talks the most. As we chatted, the topic of Luo Yue'e's pregnancy came up.
"Ms. Xia, although my sister is pregnant, she is only a month old. The hospital can't find out whether they are twins. Are you really sure?"
Even though the hospital couldn't find out whether they were twins, she already thought they were twins. Is this, is this reliable
If it is accurate, it would be amazing!
But before Xia Shao could answer, Luo Mu spoke.
She rarely speaks. She has a graceful and noble temperament, but is not arrogant. She speaks slowly and clearly, and her words are authentic Chinese. "They are definitely twins."
The Luo family was stunned, and Xia Shao was also slightly startled and looked at Luo's mother.
Mother Luo smiled and said: "Before I came back, I asked Master Obikris to do a divination. It is consistent with Miss Xia's prediction."
"Master Obikris?" Luo Henyang's face suddenly changed, and then he clapped his hands and smiled, "That's right! It seems that my little sister not only got a son in her old age this time, but she also has both a son and a daughter all at once!"
The Luo family was obviously very convinced of this person, but Xia Shao's eyes suddenly changed! She immediately lowered her eyes and hid her expression.
Seeing Xia Shao's lack of response, Luo Yue'e thought she had never heard of Master Obiklis, so she explained to her with a smile: "Obiklis is a very ancient wizard family in Europe. They are divided into two factions: white witches and black witches. Most of the family members live in the UK and are respected masters of the royal family. The royal family has always followed the ancient medieval tradition and would ask wizards to divine many things, but these things are not known to the outside world. My maternal grandfather is a viscount and a British aristocrat. My mother is in the UK. When I was a child, I could often see the masters of the Obikris family. Their tarot card divination is very accurate, and it is similar to our Eastern divination! Now, both you and Master Obikris say that my child is Dragon and Phoenix, then it must be right!"
"Yeah, it's really magical to say the least! There are two distinct civilizations, the East and the West, but they have a lot to figure out when it comes to mysticism." Luo Hanyang admired.
Luo Yue'e continued to say to Xia Shao: "I don't know much about these things, but you are all masters of mysticism. You should be interested in meeting, right? If you want to meet in the future, I will accompany you to England and help you introduce them."
Hearing this, Xia Shao smiled slightly, her expression not revealing, but her smile was a little deep. She took a sip of champagne and said with a slow smile: "Okay, this day will come."
When Xia Shao came to Luo's house for dinner tonight, she thought she would just meet the Luo family and make some connections. She herself didn't expect to hear news about the Obikris family!
This family is a wizarding family in Europe, also known as magicians. Their home base was indeed in the UK, but Xia Shao had forgotten that Luo Yue'e's mother was from a noble family, so she might know someone from the Obikris family.
In this world, there are always some people and things that will be involved through thousands of connections.
Xia Shao picked up the wine glass and smiled. Every step she takes now seems to have no connection with the future, but in fact, who knows if it has already been paved
It was a pleasant meal, except that Xia Shao had been thinking about something in her mind. After the meal, she chatted with the Luo family for a while, and seeing that it was getting late, she said goodbye.
The Luo family's car took Xia Shao back. That night, Xia Shao packed her luggage to go home. She booked a flight for four o'clock tomorrow evening. Therefore, she still had some time during the day tomorrow, so she got up early and went to the building of Jiahui International Group.
Xia Shao was very familiar with this building. When she was working as a bodyguard for Li Qingyu, she accompanied him to the company to work every day. However, today she came alone and without disguise.
Xia Shao did not make an appointment, but as soon as she walked into the Jiahui Group building, she attracted the attention of security guards and service desk employees.
Several employees stared at Xia Shao without blinking. For a long time, his eyes widened and his expression became unbelievable! Isn't this the one you see every day on Weekly TV
The security guard ran over almost excitedly and asked, "Hello, are you Director Xia from Huaxia Group?"
Xia Shao smiled and nodded: "Yes. I want to see your president. Is he free today?"
"The president told me that if you come, he will be free. However, he is in a meeting now. Please wait in the reception room for a while." The female employee at the service desk smiled sweetly, but she looked at Xia Shao closely. Ichiban.
well! I have long known that people like them have no chance of becoming a phoenix. Those people come to work every day wearing heavy makeup and posing, which is a waste of their efforts.
Xia Shao was taken by a female employee to the reception room in the elevator, where she sat drinking tea and reading the newspaper for more than an hour. When the door to the reception room was opened, Xia Shao raised her head and clearly felt that Li Qingyu was a little anxious when he came in. But after seeing her, the man returned to his usual deep and secretive attitude.
He walked over with a smile, his eyes fixed on her, and walked to the sofa opposite to sit down. "Have you been waiting for a long time? I knew you would come today, but I didn't expect it to be so early in the morning."
"Did you know I would come today?" Xia Shao put down the weekly magazine, raised her eyebrows and teased with a smile, "When did President Li change his career to tell fortunes?"
Li Qingyu smiled lightly, and there was always a hint of tenderness in his quiet smile. When she worked as his bodyguard, she always wore a black dress. Only now did he know that she liked white. This morning, she was wearing a thin suit jacket, and her face, which had not been put on makeup, was as pink as jade, making people reluctant to look away when they saw it.
"I know you're going on vacation. You're such a money-crazed person, why don't you bring some money home?" Li Qingyu smiled softly and made a rare joke.
"Since you said so, would it be too hypocritical for me to say that I came to see an old friend? Then bring it." Xia Shao smiled and simply extended his palms.
Li Qingyu's eyes fell on her white palm and paused. It wasn't until Xia Shao felt a little embarrassed and wanted to take back his hand that he took out a check from his body and gently put it in her palm.
When the check was placed in her palm, he seemed to be able to feel the temperature of her palm through the thin paper between the man's slender fingers and the girl's warm palm. He wanted to stay for a while, but in the end he did not go too far. After a pause, he took his hand back. Everything went so fast it was like he never stopped.
As expected, Xia Shao didn't feel anything was wrong. She opened the check and raised her eyebrows slightly.
One hundred million!
Regarding helping Li Qingyu survive the calamity, Xia Shao never discussed the specific remuneration with Li Boyuan. The remuneration was really hard to calculate, and she didn't know how much she should charge, so she simply left the matter to the Li family for consideration. Whatever they think is appropriate should be whatever.
But Xia Shao didn't expect that Li Qingyu would be so generous!
Feeling a little surprised, Xia Shao smiled, raised her eyes and joked, "Oh? Is this the price you set for yourself?"
What she meant was that Li Qingyu felt that his life was only worth 100 million.
How could Li Qingyu not hear her teasing? Dangzhi nodded and said: "I just took over the Jiahui Group. Judging from the current situation, I am indeed worth 100 million. However, maybe in a few years, I will have room for appreciation."
"..." Xia Shao laughed out loud!
Room for appreciation? Does he think it is an investment product
I thought a realistic man like Li Qingyu was rigid, but I didn’t expect him to joke
Xia Shao smiled, her eyes slightly curved into crescent moons, and her smile was pretty and charming. Li Qingyu looked at her and smiled quietly.
"Yes. Based on the wealth I can create for the Li Group when I retire at the age of sixty, I have a lot of room for appreciation. The 100 million is considered the principal, the interest is settled monthly, and there are dividends on holidays and at the end of the year. You can collect it What?"
The man's hands naturally folded on his lower abdomen, and what he said seemed like he was conducting a business negotiation.
Xia Shao couldn't help but chuckle again, "You are more interesting than before. It seems that you are having a good time."
"It's okay." Li Qingyu looked at Xia Shao, his eyes always seemed a bit settled, and his tone was intriguing, "What about you? How are you doing?"
"Me? I'm very busy. I'm busy with classes and company affairs, and occasionally I have to go to the old Feng Shui Hall. I wish I had forty-eight hours in a day." Xia Shao told the truth.
But he didn't notice that Li Qingyu's smile paused slightly, "The work is never finished, don't be so tired. If you feel tired, there is a lounge next to my office, you can go and take a rest. I will treat you to dinner at noon."
"There are still two hours until noon."
"Two hours of rest is not much."
"But if President Li works so hard and I use it to sleep, I will feel sorry for my employees." Xia Shao stood up with a smile. Naturally, she would not rest in Li Qingyu's company, "Just in time I also plan to visit the company, so I’ll go back first.”
Li Qingyu didn't seem surprised, but he persisted and asked: "A new German restaurant has opened nearby. I heard that the food is delicious. I asked someone to book a table. Will you give me a favor at noon?"
Xia Shao thought for a moment that it would be pretentious to push back any longer, so she agreed. She went to the company first and arranged some things. Century Real Estate has just been controlled by Huaxia Group, and its stock price has now rebounded. However, there are still many uncertainties within the company and it needs to be rectified. Therefore, although the company is also on holiday during this period, Emily will spend it in Hong Kong this year. It was just that she would go back to Qingshi a year ago, and she had to attend the company's year-end dance this year.
Xia Shao finished arranging things, went to have lunch with Li Qingyu at noon, and then returned to her master's house.
Tang Zongbo stayed in Hong Kong for the Spring Festival this year. He has not been back for many years. All the disciples of the Zhang family are also in Hong Kong. Zhang Zhongxian said that he would have a good New Year with Tang Zongbo this year. Although Xia Shao wanted to take her master back, she thought that during the Chinese New Year, her relatives would gather together, and her master had never attended in the past. Rather than letting him go back to Dongshi and be deserted during the Chinese New Year, it would be better to stay in Hong Kong and be lively.
However, Xia Shao was a little worried. After all, although Xuanmen has cleared its door now, who knows if Thailand and Europe will come looking for it
Before leaving, Xia Shao asked her master's opinion and used her clairvoyance to predict what would happen during the Chinese New Year, and then she felt a little relieved.
But Xia Shao has always known that matters related to her are not revealed by the Heavenly Eye. The master has always been close to her, and she cannot guarantee the accuracy of the predictions made by the celestial eye.
So, before leaving, Xia Shao left the Golden and Jade Exquisite Pagoda to Tang Zongbo. She called the golden python out and told it to obey the master's call during this period. Although the guy was very unhappy, Xia Shao still decided like this.
Anyway, when she goes home, she just spends time with her parents and attends the company's year-end dance. There is nothing special that requires help. It's enough to have dragon scales on your body.
Everything was arranged, and at four o'clock that afternoon, Xia Shao arrived at the airport dragging her small suitcase.
After half a year, she set foot on her way home.
Transition chapter, I will go home tomorrow ~ Long time no see, Pa and Ma Shao ~
Three-quarters of the Hong Kong volume has passed. The media issues will be resolved soon after the new year. Sister Shao's career territory is fully spread out in this volume. The next volume will start with new content.
