Charlie walked around Steerlain Island, and he felt that this place really had a unique geographical location.The density of luxury mansions on the winding road was not high on Steerlain Island even though land was scarce in Hong Kong. Each villa had a manor and one courtyard on its own. Coupled with the warm and humid climate in the south, it would not only be quiet but also comfortable to live here.Charlie then saw the Halbert Mansion that Marianne had mentioned. The door was closed, and it seemed like no one had lived there for a long time. Although the front of the house was a little old, its overall look was still stylish and grand. Charlie strolled around, and when he returned to the Long family’s villa, Marianna had just come out. When she saw Charlie, her pretty face flushed red, and she asked, “Mr. Wade, how was it?”Charlie smiled and said, “Very good. Are you ready to go out?”“Yes.” Marianne smiled and said, “I will try to finish up earlier today and pick you up a
Jenna, who was aside, smiled and said, “Oh, Shawn, your idea is really good. Mr. Wade must usually have his own businesses to attend to in Oskia, but he can definitely rest on weekends. Why don’t you buy the Halbert Mansion next door, renovate it, and give it to Mr. Wade? You can send a plane to pick Mr. Wade up and bring him to Hong Kong for a vacation every Friday, then.”Charlie smiled and said, “Thank you for your kindness. This matter does not sound very suitable for me, but it seems to be rather suitable for one of my elders.”Having said that, he changed the subject and said to Shawn, “Mr. Long, shall we head to your company for a chat later?”“No problem!” Shawn said excitedly, “I’ll get someone to prepare the car now!”Jenna, who was aside, asked, “Shawn, will you and Mr. Wade be coming back for lunch? Would you like me to prepare lunch in advance?”Shawn waved his hand and said, “I’ll not be coming back. I’m planning to take Mr. Wade to Alkova Dining at noon so that he c
At this moment, Charlie saw the relief on Shawn’s face.However, he simply smiled slightly and asked Shawn, “Mr. Long, you look very happy. Is anything special happening today?”Shawn waved his hand and smiled as he said, “Haha! Everything else is all trivial matters aside from my collaboration with you, Mr. Wade! It’s nothing to worry about!”Charlie did not point it out either. He looked at the scenery outside the window and said indifferently, “It rained heavily last night, and the sun is shining brightly. It seems as though something good is going to happen today.”“Yes, that’s right.” Shawn smiled and said, “I specially asked Master Yaleman to draw up a divination for me this morning, and he said my hexagram shows positive energy coming from the east. He said that this means that something good is going to happen.”“Master Yaleman from Mystery Court?” Charlie asked with some surprise, “I wonder what is the name of this Master Yaleman? What is his relationship with Jack Yalema
Shawn had two office buildings in Central. The total value of the buildings had already exceeded twenty billion Hong Kong dollars now, and this was considered to be the largest component of Shawn’s assets.However, Shawn was not considered the real big boss in Central. The real big boss in Central was actually the Laine family who had faded out of Hong Kong. The price of the Laine family’s building in the center of Central was approaching forty billion Hong Kong dollars. After the team entered Central, Shawn introduced to Charlie proudly, “Mr. Wade, this is Central, the financial center of Hong Kong. You haven’t been in Hong Kong for a long time, and you might not know much about Hong Kong. The price of land in Central is really high.”He smiled as he said, “Mr. Wade, the rental for Grade-A office buildings here is almost the highest in the world, and it is sixty percent more expensive than the famous Manhattan in New York. Those who can set up their companies here are Fortune 500
When Shawn heard Charlie’s question, he smiled and said, “Mr. Wade, Marianne’s biggest problem is that she has never been in love.”Charlie frowned and said, “What has the fact that Marianne has never been in love have anything to do with you wanting to demolish the food street?”Shawn hurriedly said, “Look, this child is already twenty-four years old this year, and she is already of marriageable age. However, she has never been in love before and is always in a blank emotional state in terms of her relationship. She has also been particularly nostalgic. She is in her twenties, but she still goes to the food street to eat and hang out with those vendors every day as if she was still a child. This proves that she is using the nostalgia of her time with her mother in the past to fill her emotional void.”Having said that, Shawn looked at Charlie and said meaningfully, “In truth, the best way at the moment is to let her mature quickly and get into a relationship. Once she falls in love
Charlie smiled and gestured at them. After that, he followed Shawn all the way to his office. What was interesting was that Charlie had met at least another seven or eight employees with the same dressing and temperament along the way. Aside from that, there were hardly any male employees that could be seen on this floor.So, Charlie asked with great interest, “Why are there only female employees here, Mr. Long?”“Eye candy!” Shawn smiled and said, “My employees are basically all air stewardesses. All of them are more than 1.75 meters tall and below twenty-eight years old. I pay them twice the salary, but they do not need to hold any important positions. It is enough for them to dress up like this to greet me every day and serve me well at the same time.”Having said that, Shawn was afraid that Charlie would misunderstand him, so he quickly explained, “Mr. Wade, the kind of service that I’m talking about is not anything unsavory. It’s just simple, normal, and healthy daily service
Very soon, a middle-aged man wearing glasses who looked very civilized and gentlemanly walked in with two young girls.The two young girls kept their heads lowered, and they looked very restrained, probably because they were nervous. As soon as Tyson came in, he saw Shawn, who was sitting on the sofa facing the door. So, he smiled very familiarly and said, “Shawn! Let me introduce two newcomers who have just signed a contract with me to you!”Shawn waved his hand, smiled, and said delightfully, “Don’t be so anxious to introduce them to me first. Come, let me introduce my young and promising new friend to you.”Having said that, he said respectfully to Charlie, “Mr. Wade, let me introduce someone to you if it’s convenient for you!”Tyson had simply seen the back of Charlie’s head, and he was originally wondering why this person had been so rude and not even turned his head when a guest had come in. This made him feel a little unhappy. However, when Tyson heard Shawn addressing C
Shawn took Charlie’s reaction to heart, and he knew that Charlie must not like this kind of girl. So, he immediately said to the second girl, “You, come forward and greet Charlie.”The girl was a little cowardly, but Tyson, who was aside, let out a cough, and her whole body then trembled slightly. She could only bite the bullet and walk in front of Charlie as she said timidly, “Mr. Wade... I... My name is Zara Kayford...”Shawn was a little dissatisfied and said coldly, “I asked you to greet Mr. Wade, but you did not even dare to look Mr. Wade in the eyes. Do you know how to be polite or not?!”The girl was frightened, and she instantly looked up at Charlie. At this moment, she instantly had an extremely shocked expression on her face as she subconsciously blurted out, “Ah! How is it you?!”Charlie also recognized the girl.He did not expect that it would be the Oskian girl whom he had seen singing on the street near the University of Tokyo when he had gone to Japan previously.
