And said to him with a smile on his face: “Mr. Wade has come from a long way,”
“And the journey must be very hard. I have prepared a welcome banquet for you at the house.”
“If you don’t dislike it, we’ll set off right now.”
Charlie nodded and said lightly, “Then I’ll be more respectful and be obedient.”
Gerard laughed, made a gesture of invitation, and then hugged Charlie’s back,
He said enthusiastically, “Come here, Mr. Wade, please this way!”
Outside the exit hall of the airport, a fleet of multiple Rolls-Royces was neatly parked on the side of the road.
Gerard took Charlie to the Rolls-Royce sedan in the middle, and then said to his wife,
“Bella, you take the front car, and Mr. Wade and I take this one.”
Bella had no choice but to nod and turn around to leave When she got to the Rolls-Royce in front,
The bodyguard opened the door for her, and she bent down and got in.
Gerard took the initiative to open the rear car door for Charlie,
And said with a smile, “Mr. Wade, please you will sit first!”
Charlie was also polite, nodded slightly, and got into the car directly.
Gerard also sat in immediately, and the convoy slowly left the airport.
Gerard took the initiative to chat with Charlie:
“I don’t know if Mr. Wade has been to Hong Kong Island before?”
Charlie said indifferently: “I have been, but at that time I was too young, in fact, a child.”
Gerard smiled and said, “In the past few years, the changes have been very, very huge.”
“If Mr. Wade has enough time in the next two days,”
“I will take you around Hong Kong Island to see the development of the area over the years!”
While talking, Gerard’s cell phone suddenly rang, and it was his daughter Jemima who called.
He said apologetically to Charlie: “I’m sorry, Mr. Wade, I’m answering a call. It’s my daughter.”
Charlie nodded: “Mr. Liu, please.”
Gerard answered the phone and asked, “Jemima, Are you home yet?”
On the other end of the phone, a cold voice came: “I have something to do at noon, so I won’t come back.”
Gerard said angrily: “What are you doing?! I didn’t tell you that there was a guest at noon!”
“I don’t care what your business is. You have to come home at noon today!”
The other end of the phone said with dissatisfaction:
“I already said that I have something to do. You treat your distinguished guest yourself, what does it have to do with me?”
Gerard said angrily: “Within half an hour If I don’t see you coming home,”
“You don’t want the second HKD 50 million donation!”
“You…” The voice on the other end of the phone trembled with anger, “How could you go back on your word!”
Gerard said in a cold voice, “The money is mine, I can give it if I want to,”
“Or I won’t give it if I don’t want to. In short, think about it for yourself!”
After that, he immediately hung up the phone.
Immediately afterward, he hurriedly said to Charlie,
“Mr. Wade, I’m really sorry, the little girl is naughty, I made you laugh!”
