The Haiyi Peninsula in the southeast of Hong Kong Island is about three kilometers away from Lamma Island further southeast, which is the location of Hong Kong Electric Light Company. Of course, the power plant is built on Lamma Island further southeast, and standing on Haiyi Square are the headquarters building and the three-dimensional parking lot building.

The scenery here is pleasant. The company's building is surrounded by lush green spaces, and the outer circle is blue sea. No one suspects that the houses built here will be demolished soon and then converted into high-quality residential houses with towering floors. It's not the time yet.

It was early 8 o'clock in the morning, which was one of the busiest times of traffic in the day. A large number of office workers took subways and buses to the company, and the lane was filled with various private cars. When they were close to the company, the rent was high, and when they were far away, the transportation was inconvenient. Many white-collar workers suffered this kind of hardship and fatigue every day, but they didn't know how many open-air working class envied this.

However, this is completely different for Hong Kong electric light companies.

Although the residential buildings around the square were built decades ago, tracing back and forth, they would definitely not be a rival to the company founded in 1889. It was originally located at the southernmost end of Hong Kong. If a large number of employees were allowed to travel back and forth between the Kowloon New Territories and the local area every day, and cross the entire city every day, how could the employees bear it? Therefore, this residential building has long been the property of the company, and happy employees have comfortable staff dormitories to live in, and the company's cohesion is not ordinary.

But not everyone lives near Haiyi Plaza. Just when it was time to go to work, a low-key, luxurious and connotational black old Rolls-Royce extended car slowly drove to the entrance of the parking lot and then stopped steadily.

A handsome young man opened the back door and walked out, then turned around and said: "Alice, please..."

To wait until he finished speaking, the door on the other side had already opened, but not only a formally dressed black-haired girl, but also an intellectual girl with blond hair, her mother Sophie.

"No need for you to fight, Little Little Li~" Alice waved cheerfully to the young man: "Introduction to the company is the main business, let's start quickly."

Not feeling any dissatisfied with his title of "Little Li Zi", Li Zeju closed the car door gently: "Then please follow me into the company. I believe Mr. Wengerman is ready."

Li Zeju, the eldest son of the Li Ka-shing family, invited the mother and daughter into the company's door. The building structure of a century-old enterprise is naturally a typical British style, which makes Alice really feel a kind of familiarity. After moving forward like this, after taking the elevator to the top floor, Li Zeju introduced the two to a middle-aged gentleman with a white beard.

"This is the general manager of Hong Kong Lighting Company, Mr. Wengerman." Standing on the soft red carpet, Li Zeju said in a proper manner: "This is the honorary chairman of Cisco, Miss Alice Wang, and her mother, Ms. Sophie."

"Hello, Mr. Wengerman." Alice stepped forward and stretched out her hand.

"Ah, it's better to see at first sight than hearing." He was at least one head higher than Alice, and his cross-section was more than twice that of hers. Mr. Weinberg, who looked more like a polar bear than a British gentleman, bent down politely and kissed Alice: "You are the first girl I have met over the years."

"My honor, sir." With a tic toe smile on the forehead, Alice quietly pushed her mother to the front and quickly wiped her hands on her clothes: "This is my mother..."

"oh, my, god." However, Sophie's behavior was beyond Alice's expectations. Someone sweared that she and her mother were definitely coming to Hong Kong for the first time, and Sophie had only been to the UK once when she took the ACCA certificate. But now, she looked at Mr. Wengerman incredibly surprised, feeling quite incredible.

"Constantine Wengerman?" she whispered: "You don't work at Standard Chartered?"

Alice: “…Hi?”

Just as someone was stunned, Wengerman was also surprised. He first glanced at Sophie thoughtfully, and then suddenly, he clapped his hands hard and said, "Sophie! Sophie O'Brien! God, is it really yours? He almost didn't grow old at all, you..."

"Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop!" Alice really couldn't calm down: "You two met before?"

"Meet," Sophie nodded and looked at Mr. Wengerman in surprise: "When I took the Chartered Certified Accountant Examination in the UK, he was the one sitting next to me. After the exam, we also went to a fast food restaurant on the street together! Constantine! Oh my God, how many years have we not seen each other?"

"Of course it's been more than ten years!" Mr. Wengerman was a little confused. Look at the young man Li Zeju who was playing soy sauce. He was the son of the chairman of the company. Look at the beautiful intellectual girl in front of him, the beauty he met more than ten years ago. So in the end, when he came to his senses, he naturally focused his eyes on Alice, who looked like a big enemy.

"Alice, Sophie, is Alice your daughter?"

Sophie reached out to put her hand on Alice's shoulder: "Yes, I settled in Los Angeles not long after the exam. You know UCL, too, I used to..."

"Stop, stop, please stop me quickly." Alice didn't plan to let them continue chatting, so she stood in front of Mr. Wengerman and blocked him: "Sir, this is my mother, my father's good wife, my sister's mother, my brother's... Mommy. OK, the introduction is over, so can we continue to do the business?"

Excited was indeed just a moment. Wengerman immediately took two steps back and said apologetically: "I'm so sorry, Miss Wang, it may cause you to misunderstand. Please don't worry, I'm just surprised to see a candidate in the same venue again. Of course, this will not delay the serious matter. Come on, Victor, sit by."

The name of Li Zeju is called, a Canadian national who had studied at Stanford University. As soon as the business started, the previous greetings were naturally thrown behind. Everyone sat down in the reception area, and a secretary who had no sense of existence immediately stepped forward to pour black tea for everyone.

But after sitting down, Alice did not say anything immediately, but stared at the white bearded man suspiciously. At the age of fifty, ten years more than Sophie would make him particularly "masculine". Such a guy suddenly got close to him in surprise after seeing his mother, but it was definitely not a pleasing thing.

Sophie didn't say anything immediately. She was sitting next to her daughter. How could she not notice Alice's disgust towards Wengerman? Sophie herself understood this emotion. Just imagine, if she was wandering with her mother, a man suddenly appeared on the street, and she was familiar with her mother...

"Wengerman, I believe you are also surprised." Seeing the cold air around the coffee table, Li Zeju immediately interrupted: "Alice, who was originally developing her career in Silicon Valley, suddenly chose to invest in Hong Kong. A few days ago, she directly bought the Peninsula Hotel in Tsim Sha Tsui, which shocked our real estate industry."

"Yes, yes, I saw the statement in the newspaper," said Wengerman, "Then now, Victor, you actually notified me again that Alice plans to invest in our Hong Kong Lighting Group, which is not a small deal. Alice, please allow me to ask, can you really put out so much money?"

The polite questioning resulted in Alice's affirmative answer: "Don't worry, Wengerman, my Cisco company has been listed at least, and Microsoft's development is changing with each passing day. Although the scale of Hong Kong Electric Light Company is large, it is not difficult to invest in a stake. And I believe that you also need Cisco's products very much now, right?"

The previous speech was not unexpected to those present. Since the meeting had already happened, both Li Zeju, one of the shareholders, and Wengerman, the general manager of Hong Kong Ding, had a full understanding of Alice's current career situation. So after passing through the familiar lines, their energy was also attracted by the second half of the sentence.

"I know Cisco's products, but what does this have to do with our Hong Kong Lighting?"

Wengerman did not look at Sophie, trying to play an unknown emotional card, but instead stared at Alice's blue eyes. With her natural advantage of nearly fifty years old, she wanted to see what the girl was thinking about.

However, Alice was destined to let him down. His big blue eyes were like a pool of lakes, and the depth of Lake Baikal, making him, who could be a girl's father and the helm of a large international company, could not see any clues in his heart.

"Of course it is the optimization of the power plant management system." Alice said lightly: "As the first city in Asia with electricity supply, as a British power plant company established as early as the end of the last century, you built a fully computerized power plant in Ap Lei Chau as early as 1968 and used fuel to generate electricity. It was finally completed a few years ago. But I believe that the information management system that was planned so early and built so early will definitely not be assisted by a more developed network system, right?"

"This is a very critical thing, especially I am very experienced in developing operating systems." I know that Mr. Wengerman is already moved, and Alice smiled with great confidence: "After all, no one wants to break the reputation of Hong Kong Lights as the safest electricity use in the world, right?"
