Reborn in the 90s, I traded my ex-husband for eight apartments.
Chapter 229 Testing
The TV in the hotel was playing a Hong Kong drama.
This is a fashion drama, and the clothes worn by the male and female leads as well as all the supporting characters are very beautiful.
Zhong Ting watched with great interest.
"Sister Bai, I feel that your outfit is very similar to that of female celebrities on TV."
Bai Zhenzhu was also watching TV. Besides the actors' outfits and styling, she was also paying attention to the background settings in the drama.
She remembers that the show was very popular, and it wasn't broadcast in mainland China for two years. The outfits in the show also set a trend in mainland China.
An actress with short, permed hair wore a turtleneck sweater underneath a denim jacket and bright red lipstick.
It's a very ordinary outfit, but it looks very elegant and beautiful.
As soon as the actor appeared, Bai Zhenzhu said to Zhong Ting:
"Tingting, this style suits you."
Zhong Ting has shorter hair, which makes her look slightly androgynous.
Other people's hair is longer and permed into curls, but it looks very charming.
Zhong Ting was somewhat tempted:
"Okay, I'll grow my hair out a bit and get a perm like that."
……
Inside a nightclub.
Huo Zheng and Jian Shuhang had already drunk quite a bit.
However, it was hard to tell that Huo Zheng was drunk; he remained sitting upright and showed no signs of being drunk at all.
Jian Shuhang was not doing well; he was leaning slumped on the sofa, his eyes unfocused.
Two of Xiao Baiyun's group members have already passed out from drinking.
Xiao Baiyun looked all smiles. He spent the whole night urging others to drink, but he didn't drink much himself.
He nodded to the driver, and soon after, several scantily clad women walked in, looking alluring.
Jian Shuhang was feeling unwell when he suddenly felt a weight in his arms.
He instinctively gave her a push, and the woman in the sequined strapless dress fell to the ground.
Huo Zheng coldly stopped the woman before she could get closer:
"Go back to where you came from, I don't need it."
The woman stood there, stunned.
The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.
Xiao Baiyun's friends all looked at him like he was a country bumpkin.
Jian Shuhang was furious, but since Huo Zheng hadn't spoken, he couldn't lash out.
Suddenly, Xiao Baiyun burst into laughter:
"Mr. Huo and Mr. Jian are quite interesting. Don't worry, everything is clean. You are my honored guests, and I would never treat you like this."
Jianshu Hang frowned:
“Mr. Xiao, we’re not strangers to you, you don’t need to do this, we don’t do this kind of thing.”
Xiao Baiyun looked somewhat smug:
"You mainlanders are just conservative, what's this all about..."
Huo Zheng said solemnly:
"We are all descendants of Yan and Huang, and we are all Chinese."
Xiao Baiyun remembered Huo Zheng's identity, understood, and waved for the girls to leave.
His expression also turned serious:
"It seems my brother was right, Mr. Huo is a man who does great things."
Huo Zheng raised an eyebrow:
"Testing?"
Xiao Baiyun poured Huo Zheng a cup of tea:
"President Huo, don't be angry. My older brother has been praising you so much that even I, your own brother, am a little jealous."
"He has now settled in your area, and I certainly trust the friends he has made."
"But I have my own style when it comes to doing things. If you want the connections and resources of my Xiao family, you'll have to get past me first."
Huo Zheng: "I don't know if we've passed the test."
Xiao Baiyun: "Passed, passed, of course I passed. You can judge a person's character by their drinking habits, and I trust President Huo's character."
Huo Zheng finished his tea and said in a deep voice:
"It's getting late, let's stop here. I'll treat you to another meal later, Mr. Xiao, you can choose the place."
Xiao Baiyun readily agreed:
"I wonder how long Mr. Huo will stay in Hong Kong?"
Huo Zheng: "Three more days."
Xiao Baiyun nodded:
"Okay, I'll introduce a few more friends to President Huo and President Jian later. I'll contact you again later."
He then called his own driver and asked him to take Huo Zheng and Jian Shuhang back to the hotel.
Back at the hotel, as soon as they entered the elevator, Huo Zheng collapsed onto Jian Shuhang.
Jian Shuhang was startled:
"drunk?"
"Really drunk?"
His brother is quite something to have managed to stay drunk until now.
After getting Huo Zheng back to his room, Jian Shuhang was covered in sweat, and he was finally sober.
Huo Zheng was very well-behaved when drunk; he didn't move at all and just slept.
Jian Shuhang took off his shoes, coat, and pants, covered him with a blanket, and then left him alone.
When I woke up, it was already bright outside.
"What time is it?" he asked instinctively.
Jian Shuhang came out brushing his teeth:
"It's past eight o'clock, still early."
Huo Zheng pinched his eye sockets:
"Nothing happened after last night, right?"
Jian Shuhang: "Nothing happened, you've been sleeping until now."
Huo Zheng nodded, then got up to wash up.
Jian Shuhang is puzzled:
"Brother, what do you think is the meaning of Xiao Baiyun's character?"
Huo Zheng rinsed his mouth and said:
"It's hard to say, let's wait and see."
Xiao Zhongyun's younger brother, the heir of the Xiao family, shouldn't disappoint.
Disappointment is nothing to fear. As I always say, if it doesn't work out, just kick it out.
He washed his face again:
"Have they gotten up yet?"
Jian Shuhang: "I'm up. Tingting just came by."
Huo Zheng: "Let's eat."
Jian Shuhang glanced at his brother, then hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't.
Huo Zheng: "Speak."
Jian Shuhang: "Brother, aren't you planning on something happening this time you're out here?"
Huo Zheng went to get his coat and put it on.
"I'm not in a hurry, I'll let nature take its course."
Jian Shuhang: "..."
You're not in a hurry anymore?
He's even planning to learn from him.
Who said the incubation period is over?
Seeing his puzzled expression, Huo Zheng explained:
"Xiaobai's current attitude towards me is that she only wants to talk about work and not about feelings. I can't be too aggressive; I have to take it easy."
"This is to respect the wishes of lesbians."
"Of course, I will do everything that is my responsibility."
Jian Shuhang himself was in a mess and didn't have any good suggestions:
"Director Bai was hurt too deeply by her ex-husband, so she probably won't start another relationship easily."
However, his brother is a patient person.
It was during dinner that Zhong Ting and Bai Zhenzhu learned that Huo Zheng had gotten drunk the night before.
Zhong Ting said with dissatisfaction:
“You drank again. Your aunt told you to drink less when you left home.”
Huo Zheng glanced at Bai Zhenzhu:
"There are some situations that are unavoidable, but I know my limits and I will be careful."
Jian Shuhang added from the side:
"The people Xiao Baiyun introduced last night all love this, so they can't resist drinking it."
Huo Zheng smiled:
"I slept it off and I'm fine now."
He looked at the white pearl:
"Where would you like to go today? We don't have any plans."
Zhong Ting immediately said:
"I'm going to go shopping again to buy my mom a gold bracelet."
So they went to the mall, which happened to be not far from where they lived.
No woman doesn't love jewelry, and the gold jewelry here in Hong Kong is more exquisitely crafted and much cheaper than in Chengdu.
Bai Zhenzhu couldn't resist buying a bunch of things, including three bracelets.
Then I bought a lot of cosmetics.
When they arrived at a store specializing in electronic products, Bai Zhenzhu bought several new portable music players.
These items are several times more expensive in Chengdu.
The air conditioners and washing machines, in particular, were very attractively priced, but unfortunately, I couldn't take them home.
As they left the mall, the four of them were carrying loads of things.
