The Wealthy Tycoon's Game of Life

Chapter 1412: Chapter 551: Apology Gift

Jessie isn’t particularly old, just around thirty, but when she appeared on the yacht deck in a crisp business suit, many people quickly followed Huo Chengrui to greet her.

The reason is simple. With double doctorates, Jessie is officially the general manager of a certain consulting firm and is one of the most prestigious actuaries on Hong Kong Island with CAS and CAA dual certification. However, her true identity is the private advisor of the Huo Consortium.

She might not be able to decide the major and minor affairs of the Huo family, but she can indirectly influence all the decisions of the family leader.

”...So Mr. Zhou, don’t underestimate her youth; many people in Hong Kong Island are keen to flatter her.”

Mu Li, introducing Jessie’s identity to Zhou Wang, whispered, ”I heard that Huo Yingxiong trusts her immensely, and only with her nod can one be placed on the alternative list for collaboration. Given the scale of the Huo Group, even marginal businesses can bring at least seven figures in profits annually...”

Zhou Wang nodded understandingly.

”Getting dual certification as an actuary both domestically and internationally is indeed impressive.”

As his own assets continue to expand, Zhou Wang increasingly understands the importance of professional specialization, and even his Wangzhou Group is seeking talents of this kind.

Why do the wealthy typically become richer...? It’s because the top-tier resources always tend to concentrate among the few.

Many so-called ”rags-to-riches” stories in reality cannot withstand scrutiny. Essentially, these people didn’t alter their fate; it’s more like... they obtained a ticket?

...

”Sister Jessie, why are you at an event like this?”

Seeing Jessie, Mr. Huo, without realizing the seriousness of the situation, cheerfully asked.

Jessie stopped, hands in pockets, her originally delicate makeup slightly disheveled by the sea breeze.

She glanced at Huo Chengrui, expressionless, and said, ”You know, I was dating in Sai Kung Park tonight, and I really liked that person.”

”Uh...”

Huo Chengrui didn’t know why Jessie suddenly mentioned this, and for a moment was a bit stupified, but instinctively replied, ”That’s a good thing, Sister Jessie. You haven’t dated for a long time, right? This time you’re likely going for marriage, aren’t you, hahahaha...”

”And then I got a call from your dad.”

Jessie didn’t laugh, she just said flatly.

Mr. Huo’s awkward laughter abruptly stopped. When some matters are linked together, plus with Jessie’s obvious haste to arrive, even Huo Chengrui could figure it out.

A drop of cold sweat suddenly seeped from his forehead.

He originally thought, since his father didn’t call him, the matter wasn’t serious. But this time, Huo Yingxiong bypassed him and had Jessie intervene, which means...

His father simply no longer trusts him.

Things are really bad.

”Sister Jessie...”

”Huo Chengrui, you’re okay, you’re very okay.”

Jessie still showed no expression, but her words began to reveal some iciness, ”I finally found someone I liked, almost getting together, but thanks to you, a helicopter descended out of nowhere and scared him off...”

”I just wanted to date like a normal person, is that so hard, huh?”

”I...Sister Jessie, I’m sorry, listen to my explanation, I really didn’t mean to...”

Mr. Huo was somewhat incoherent, because he knew Jessie, usually gentle to him, was really angry this time.

Although Mr. Huo couldn’t be sure if Jessie was angry because her date was ruined or because she was so disappointed with him that she turned indifferent...

Or perhaps both?

But Mr. Huo really felt wronged, he clearly did nothing!

Even if he made any mistake, it was just agreeing to let Wang Jia help him find a female companion at the beginning...

But how could he know it would be such a coincidence that the girl Wang Jia found was related to Zhou Wang.

In Hong Kong Islanders’ terms, his luck was ”really black to the extreme!”

”Whatever it is, you can wait and explain it to Mr. Huo.”

Jessie was obviously a bit weary, rubbing her temples after her cold outburst, ”For now, step aside, I need to go patch things up for you!”

(In Cantonese – patching up: metaphorically filling in the potholes left by others, an expression of the exasperated feeling of ”cleaning up someone’s mess”)

”’You guys’?”

Huo Chengrui sharply noticed a problem with Jessie’s wording.

”In the past 20 minutes, thanks to you three, the heads of the Hong Kong Island Consortium are in chaos, and if there wasn’t enough time, there almost would have been a joint video conference.”

Jessie said with a hint of sarcasm, but deep confusion and bewilderment flashed in her eyes.

”I’m the closest, President Li and Uncle Huang also trust me, so I’m their entrusted representative, tasked with cleaning up the mess you three left.”

”But you guys really make it hard for me, expecting me to come up with the optimal solution in such a short time... I’m just an actuary; I’m not a God, more importantly, I don’t know his psychological expectations.”

Jessie finally laughed, but her smile was full of self-mockery.

”But what can I do, there seems to be no one else better suited to handle this.”

As if explaining, or maybe venting, after saying this, Jessie no longer paid attention to the stunned Huo Chengrui and walked straight past him.

At this moment, however, waves of turmoil surged in Huo Chengrui’s heart.

Whose ”psychological expectations”?
