Celebrating a girl's birthday is always more meaningful than practical.
And what is the most important thing for a girl?
Of course it's a surprise and it's romantic.
Li Jin specifically approached Huo Huanyu this time and asked him to help him 'collude' with the bodyguards around Huo Anlan. No, this came in handy.
"Let's go to the hotel first. I have to arrange the rest of the things. Remember, don't let any news leak." Li Jin lowered his head and got into the car and said.
"Don't worry."
To be able to be arranged as bodyguards next to Huo Anlan, these people are naturally the confidants of the Huo family. They have all met Li Jin and understand Li Jin's status in the Huo family, so they are naturally very cooperative.
As soon as the car left the airport and headed towards downtown Los Angeles, Li Jin received a call.
Looking at Huo Anlan's name on the caller ID, Li Jin frowned.
Isn’t this woman capable of pinching and calculating?
Or did something go wrong in any link and the news leaked out?
With such a mood, Li Jin answered the phone.
"Boss Li, you did another earth-shattering thing today."
Huo Anlan's relaxed voice came from the phone.
When Li Jin saw her, he didn't immediately ask where he was. Knowing that the secret hadn't been revealed, he breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "I have been busy with this matter for a while, have you received the news?"
"Of course, many people around me are discussing your acquisition of Nokian."
At a high-end private reception in Los Angeles, next to the quiet terrace, Huo Anlan was bored and photographed on the railing, playing with the decorative flowers with one hand, and talking on the phone with Li Jin on his mobile phone in the other hand.
"You didn't even tell me about such a big thing in advance, and I was the last one to know."
"Because I wasn't sure how sure I was of success before, so I didn't notify you for the time being. Now that it's successful, of course it's the best. Otherwise, if I don't succeed in the acquisition, wouldn't I lose face in front of you?"
Listening to Li Jin's voice, Huo Anlan smiled like a flower.
"Hmph, after you finish your work at the branch, you'll go back to the country, right?"
"Come on, when will you be back?"
"It will take me about half a month."
"Then I'll wait for you at home."
Seeing that Li Jin really didn't know what day tomorrow was, Huo Anlan was inevitably a little disappointed.
But there was no flaw in her tone, and she smiled and said, "Okay, I'll let you know when the time comes."
"Okay, I won't tell you anymore. If someone calls me, I'll call you later."
After saying this, Huo Anlan hung up the phone.
As soon as the phone left his ear, Huo Anlan's face fell.
"An Lan."
A girl's voice came from behind Huo Anlan.
Huo Anlan turned around and looked at the beautiful girl walking over. Just as she was about to say hello, she saw a tall, handsome guy with blond hair and blue eyes appearing next to her.
Huo Anlan frowned and said calmly: "Catherine, is something wrong?"
Catherine walked up to Huo Anlan and said with suppressed excitement: "Congratulations on winning the gold medal in this fashion design competition. I heard that you have received an invitation to Paris Fashion Week? I am so envious of you, so many of us
Man, only you can get it."
Huo Anlan chuckled and said: "It's not like there are no other ways to go to Paris Fashion Week. Catherine, you must have a way."
Catherine shook her head and said, "That's different. You are invited as a cutting-edge designer and have the opportunity to have a set of clothes designed by yourself to participate in the exhibition. But even if I go through other means, I can only be a spectator."
"
"Don't talk about me anymore, An Lan, this is my brother Jerry, do you remember him? He has always wanted to have a good chat with you." Catherine suddenly said excitedly to Huo Anlan.
Huo Anlan looked helpless and said: "Catherine, I really don't want to meet other friends of the opposite sex. Do you understand what I mean?"
"An Lan, I think you should give me a chance."
Jerry suddenly spoke and said: "We are just making friends. No matter how old and conservative the country is, it will not allow people of the opposite sex to make friends, right?"
Huo Anlan looked cold and said: "Sir, I hope you will be more polite when you speak. I will not tolerate any discriminatory or ridiculing words you say casually."
The corners of Jerry's mouth twitched and he said: "Sorry, I didn't mean that. I know tomorrow is your birthday, and I want to hold a birthday party for you, is that okay?"
As if he was afraid of Huo Anlan's rejection, he hurriedly said: "I know that your family is in China, so you can only spend this birthday in the United States by yourself."
"And I have also invited all your friends and mentors who are studying fashion design here. Everyone is very happy to attend your birthday party. An Lan, please give me a chance?"
Huo Anlan looked helpless and said: "Mr. Jerry, I understand your thoughts, but firstly, I really have no interest in you. Secondly, I really don't want to attend this birthday party, so I hope you can
I understand."
Jerry was anxious and said: "You are the best fashion designer and you have a powerful family, and I am the future heir to the largest clothing production company in the United States. Don't you think we are a perfect match?"
"
"Damn it, you're a foreigner and you can still speak idioms!?"
A voice came without any warning, causing several people present to suddenly raise their heads in shock.
Huo Anlan looked in disbelief when she saw Li Jin walking up from the stairs.
Jerry's face darkened: "Who are you!? Why do you appear here!?"
"Isn't the United States known as the freest country? Since this is not your private residence, it is none of your business whether I am here or not?"
After Li Jin finished speaking, he walked swaggeringly to Huo Anlan and raised his arms naturally.
Huo Anlan covered her mouth and chuckled, then stretched out her hand to hook Li Jin's arm.
Smart girl.
Li Jin looked relieved.
He tilted his head and said to Jerry, whose face was full of jealousy and anger: "Foreign devil, don't even think about her. She is not a perfect match. You don't even have to see if you are worthy of her."
"The largest clothing brand in the United States? Isn't it very embarrassing? I am the boss of China's largest private enterprise, the world's largest mobile phone brand, and the world's most profitable Internet company. Will I tell people everywhere?"
After Li Jin finished speaking, he took Huo Anlan and left.
As he walked, he muttered: "Look at all the people you make friends with here. They all look at you like a wolf looking at meat. It's not a good thing for girls to go abroad alone. It must be
You have to know how to protect yourself, you know?”
"Also, what kind of evening dress are you wearing? Why are your shoulders hanging out? Put on my coat. What should I do if I catch a cold?"
