Chapter 340 0339【Great Wisdom Is Foolish】(Sent at the Fifth Watch!)

Hong Kong mid-level villa.

Huo's mansion.

Young Master Huo Huo Zhenting came back from the ballroom, immediately took off his coat and handed it to the housekeeper, A Cai, and then asked the maid, Sister Cui, to bring him a cup of sober tea.

After drinking tea and rinsing his mouth again, Huo Zhenting walked towards the bedroom where his father lived in the back building.

Boss Huo has been in poor health for the past few days and has been coughing all the time. Hendry, a Western doctor, has diagnosed and treated him. He said it was influenza and asked him to rest at home.

The bedroom where Mr. Huo lives has also been disinfected, and the servants are usually very careful in serving him.

When Huo Zhenting came to the door, he happened to see his mother, Mrs. Lu, bringing water for washing feet, so he hurriedly took it and said, "Grandma, take a rest, I'll help daddy wash his feet."

Mrs. Lu nodded and said, "Say less, go to bed early."

"Understood." Huo Zhenting knocked on the door and went in with foot washing water.

In the bedroom, Mr. Huo was wearing glasses and loose and comfortable pajamas. He was leaning on the head of the bed, and by the light of the bedside table lamp, he was watching the "Hua Shang Evening News", which was full of editorials and commercial content.

Seeing Huo Zhenting coming in with footwashing water, he folded the newspaper in his hand and put it on the bedside table, took off his reading glasses and put it on the newspaper, and asked, "Where is your mother?"

"I let her rest, and I'll wash your feet tonight."

"Brat, every time you wash my feet, you have a small gift. What delicious food did you pack this time?"

Huo Zhenting grinned, put down the footbath, picked up a towel and wiped his hands, then took out the "roasted sweet potato" packed from the side of the road from his arms, handed it to his father and said, "Try it, this roasted sweet potato Is it on time?"

Mr. Huo hurriedly took it, sniffed it before his nose, then peeled off the skin, licked the skin of the sweet potato first, and after licking it clean, he took a light bite of the heart of the sweet potato.

Boss Huo came from hard times. He couldn't even eat food before, and he was often hungry when he was working.

After he became prosperous, he was very thrifty, especially in terms of food, and he avoided waste. For this reason, no matter whether it was a servant at home, or his wife and children, he had been reprimanded by him when they wasted food.

After eating a few mouthfuls of sweet potatoes, Mr. Huo couldn't help but praise: "It's delicious! It still tastes the same! The one at the eastern end of Lockhart Road in Wanchai, right?"

"Guess right! Dad, you are worthy of being a big eater!" Huo Zhenting gave Big Huo a thumbs up, then helped him take off his socks, soaked his feet gently in the water, and rubbed his feet while raising his head He said to Big Brother Huo: "My mother is really, I won't let you eat this, and I won't let you eat that, so I bring things back from outside like a thief every time, for fear of being discovered by her!"

Brother Huo gnawed on the sweet potato, "She was also doing it for my own good. When I was young, I worked too hard and got sick, so I couldn't get better. No, the weather changed and I caught a cold again. By the way, you stay away from me." Stay away, Doctor Hendry said, my cold is contagious!"

"What are you afraid of? I'm so strong!" Huo Zhenting lifted Mr. Huo's feet out of the sink, picked up the foot cloth beside him and patiently wiped them, then lifted them up and put them on the bed, and just kicked his butt Sitting on the head of the bed, he said to Mr. Huo, "But Dad, I saw that Shi Zhijian today."

"Which one?"

"It's the young man who cheated Li Jiacheng not long ago and got 3,000 acres of land in Tsuen Wan."

"Oh, I remembered. Is Sanshao Xu's friend right? You will go to see him tonight instead of me. How do you feel?" Mr. Huo carefully wrapped the unfinished sweet potatoes in a handkerchief, and then He took the napkin and wiped his mouth, then looked up at his son Huo Zhenting.

"Well, I think this person is not bad."

Boss Huo smiled, "You have a good heart, and you can see anyone is good. It shouldn't be that simple for Shi Zhijian to make someone as big as Li Jiacheng into that."

"You are right about that."

Immediately afterwards, Huo Zhenting told Mr. Huo what happened in the ballroom tonight in detail.

At first Huo Boss was still careless. Although he valued Shi Zhijian very much, he still felt that Shi Zhijian was too young. Even if he cheated Li Jiacheng, it would be shit luck.

Even Boss Huo privately had the idea of ​​taking over Shi Zhijian's land and developing it alone by virtue of the Huo family's powerful strength.

Who told Shi Zhijian to get those lands from others? Don't say that the old man bullies the younger generation, that's how shopping malls are, you cheat me, I cheat you, the strong crush the weak, if you are not strong enough, you can only be cannon fodder.

But when Mr. Huo heard that Shi Zhijian teamed up with the Chinese inspector Chen Zhichao to deal with the ghost inspector Kenneth, his expression couldn't help but change, and there was a gleam of appreciation in his eyes.

"Dad, you don't know the situation at that time. How rampant that ghost Kenneth was, he didn't pay attention to us Chinese!" Huo Zhenting vividly described everything he saw, especially Shi Zhijian. He was brave and resourceful and praised again.

"So I think this Shi Zhijian is a friend we can make. Dad, what do you think?"

After telling the story, Huo Zhenting looked at his father and asked Mr. Huo for his opinion.

Huo Zhenting has always worshiped his father as a god, and he must first ask him about everything.

Big brother Huo looked at his son's hopeful eyes and couldn't help sighing.

Others said that the eldest son was not smart and not suitable for business.

Only Mr. Huo himself knows that his son is not unintelligent, but wise and stupid.

It's just because my own light is too dazzling, blocking my son's light, and making my son like to listen to his opinions on everything, so that I seldom think independently.

"A Ting, you can make up your own mind about what happens in the future. You don't need to ask me. We are father and son, and I trust you!" Boss Huo suddenly said to Huo Zhenting.

Huo Zhenting froze for a moment, "Dad, what do you mean by that?"

"What I mean is, I'm getting old, and I won't do everything myself in the future. You have to learn to be independent. At that time, I will hand over all the business of the Huo family to you. You have to be mentally Prepare."

"No, Dad, you're still so young, our Huo family can't live without you, I can't learn it!" Huo Zhenting waved his hands hurriedly, a little afraid of taking over the huge family business.

Seeing this, Mr. Huo sighed secretly: "Okay, I was just joking with you. You have talked to me so much, but you just said that Shi Zhijian is a very good person—why, did you promise him something? ?”

Who is Mr. Huo?

From the words and deeds, you can guess what kind of tricks your son has in his heart.

"I really can't hide it from you." Huo Zhenting scratched his head, "I made an appointment with him to bring him to see you in a few days."

"Are you afraid that I won't agree?"

Huo Zhenting nodded, "You know you don't like meeting strangers the most, not to mention you've been sick recently."

Mr. Huo has a dull personality and doesn't talk much on many occasions, so many Hong Kong people think he is difficult to get in touch with.

"Since you think he is good, then I will meet him."

"Really? Great!" Huo Zhenting was overjoyed.

Brother Huo smiled slightly: "If you want my son's friend, I, as a father, will help you weigh and see if he is qualified!"

"Also," Mr. Huo emphasized, "I have half a sweet potato hidden, don't tell your mother!"
