Chapter 301 More Than Just Chatting
Ma Junjie looked up and, sure enough, it was Liu Xiong.
He quickly stepped forward and respectfully greeted them.
"Uncle Liu, it's been a long time."
"Haha!" Liu Xiong stared at Ma Junjie and nodded slightly.
"Grandpa!" Liu Bingbing rushed over and affectionately took Liu Xiong's arm, shaking it playfully.
Liu Xiong smiled, patted Liu Bingbing's hand, and then looked at Ma Junjie with eyes full of doting and satisfaction.
"Alright, alright, come in and sit down, don't stand there."
The group entered the room and sat down on the sofa. The woman who had been there earlier immediately brought out tea and fruit.
After the woman put down her things and went into the kitchen, Liu Bingbing finally spoke.
"Grandpa, who is this woman? Is she new?"
Liu Xiong smiled, seemingly a little embarrassed.
"Bingbing, this is my new housekeeper, surnamed Zhang."
"I fired that Aunt Wang from before."
Liu Bingbing had also heard about Aunt Wang's story and nodded silently.
However, Liu Bingbing felt that something was off about this new housekeeper.
She has a stunning figure, a beautiful face, and is very young. It seems a bit unreliable for her to be a housekeeper.
However, Liu Bingbing didn't say much, and just smiled.
"Yes, Grandpa, it's fine."
"Your aunt and I are very relieved that someone is taking care of you."
Liu Xiong seemed unwilling to discuss this topic further. He picked up his teacup and addressed Ma Junjie and Liu Bingbing,
"Come, have some tea."
Upon hearing this, everyone picked up their teacups.
After each taking a sip, Ma Junjie put down his teacup and asked,
"Uncle Liu, I heard from Sister Liu that you called me here today because you had something to discuss. What is it?"
Liu Xiong put down his teacup, his smile fading slightly, and his eyes becoming deep.
He glanced at Ma Junjie, then at Liu Bingbing beside him, and slowly began to speak.
"Ah Jie, it's nothing..."
"Actually, I just haven't seen you two in a long time, and I wanted to chat with you."
Upon hearing this, Liu Bingbing exclaimed, "Oh dear!"
"Grandpa, you're really messing with me."
"Jie and I thought something serious had happened, so we rushed over without even having breakfast, only to find out it was nothing! I'm so angry!"
"Hahaha!" Liu Xiong couldn't help but laugh when he saw Liu Bingbing's furrowed brows.
"What, chatting with Grandpa isn't a big deal?"
"Bingbing, I see you're not even talking to me anymore since you're still unmarried. I used to treat you so well."
Liu Bingbing stuck out her tongue, grabbed Liu Xiong's hand, and stopped him from continuing to speak.
Liu Xiong smiled again, and then said,
"Don't rush, it's not just for chatting, there are other people coming over later."
"Who? Who else?" Liu Bingbing asked curiously.
The words had barely left his mouth when the housekeeper, Sister Zhang, loudly reported from outside the door.
"Sir, our guests have arrived!"
Liu Xiong immediately stood up and laughed loudly.
"Quickly, please come in!"
Ma Junjie also stood up curiously and turned to look out the door.
Behind Sister Zhang was a tall, thin, middle-aged man.
The man was carrying a black briefcase.
He looked energetic and had bright, piercing eyes.
Liu Bingbing was very puzzled.
He was puzzled; he didn't recognize this person. Who could it be?
At this moment, Liu Xiong went up to greet them, calling out,
"Pan Hai, you've finally arrived!"
"Quickly, please have a seat!"
The man opposite, named Pan Hai, burst into laughter, extended his hand, and shook hands firmly with Liu Xiong.
He greeted them warmly.
"Brother Xiong, long time no see!"
When Ma Junjie heard Pan Hai's accent, he felt something was off.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Liu Xiong led Pan Hai to the sofa.
Pan Hai looked at Liu Bingbing and Ma Junjie and asked,
"Brother Xiong, who are these two...?"
"Haha!" Liu Xiong laughed heartily.
"This is my granddaughter, Liu Bingbing..."
"And this other one is Bingbing's boyfriend, Ma Junjie."
Pan Hai's eyes lit up, and he praised in broken Mandarin,
Wow, what a perfect couple! A match made in heaven!
Liu Bingbing was already a little embarrassed when Liu Xiong introduced Ma Junjie as her boyfriend.
Hearing Pan Hai say this, he suddenly blushed and couldn't speak.
Ma Junjie was also a little embarrassed.
However, I still asked...
"Uncle Liu, who is this Uncle Pan...?"
Liu Xiong's eyes lit up, and he excitedly introduced,
"Ah Jie, this Uncle Pan is no ordinary person."
"He just came from Hong Kong. He runs a big company there, and he's also my sworn brother!"
"This time I came..." Liu Xiong paused, then looked at Pan Hai.
"By the way, Pan Hai, what brings you here this time?"
Pan Hai smiled and said politely,
"Brother Xiong, it's been so long since I've seen you. I've missed you so much, and I came here specifically to see you."
Liu Xiong chuckled.
He patted Pan Hai on the shoulder.
"Pan Hai, I'm glad you said that."
"However, to be honest, the most important question is: what are we here for?"
Pan Hai smiled and shook his head.
"Brother Xiong, I knew I couldn't escape your eyes after all."
"To be honest, I came here this time to investigate business opportunities."
"Dongguan is developing very rapidly, its economic level is constantly improving, and its market prospects are broad. I want to come here and try my luck."
Liu Xiong nodded.
"Pan Hai, you have a long-term vision and have always had a great business sense. I admire you very much."
"What's even more commendable is that they're now all millionaires, yet they still do everything themselves. It really proves the saying, 'If you don't get rich, who will?'"
Pan Hai burst into laughter.
"Brother Xiong, don't make fun of me. I'm the one who envies you!"
"He retired gracefully at the height of his career, yet his fame and prestige remain. Now he enjoys a leisurely retirement, living in a mansion with his family by his side. It's something to be envied."
Liu Xiong waved his hand, feeling that there was really no point in continuing to be polite with each other like this.
He glanced at Ma Junjie, and immediately remembered something.
"Ahem!"
Liu Xiong coughed twice, and said, seemingly casually,
"Pan Hai, my granddaughter's boyfriend, Ma Junjie, is an exceptionally outstanding young man..."
"He's always wanted to go into business and make a lot of money. He's driven and capable, but as you know, he lacked opportunity and guidance from a mentor."
"Pan Hai, as the saying goes, a fine horse is easy to find, but a discerning eye is rare..."
As he spoke, Liu Xiong looked intently at Pan Hai.
His tone was sincere, even humble, carrying a hint of pleading.
"Brother, I don't know if you understand what I mean?"
"Could we give this young man a chance and offer him some guidance?"
Pan Hai was taken aback.
Slowly turning her head, she looked at Ma Junjie beside her.
Ma Junjie was completely dazed at this moment.
He didn't know that this was something Liu Xiong had planned all along.
It was a spur-of-the-moment idea; it came about after Pan Hai suddenly brought up these thoughts.
But no matter what,
Ma Junjie felt it strongly.
Liu Xiong is trying his best to help himself!
Ma Junjie felt uneasy.
I wonder what Pan Hai will think.
Would Pan Hai really be willing to help him make money when they're not related?
Ma Junjie stared blankly at Pan Hai, forcing a smile.
Pan Hai remained silent, sizing up Ma Junjie.
After a long while, he finally looked away.
He suddenly laughed.
"Brother Xiong, what a coincidence today!"
"Look, I just brought some things over from Hong Kong, this is a golden opportunity to make a fortune!"
After saying that, Pan Hai swiftly opened his briefcase.
"Come on, let me show you this!"
