"Hello, Chairman!"
Doris's voice was filled with excitement, but Charlie did not perceive it.
He got straight to the point and asked," Doris, how much do you know about Shawn Long from Hong Kong?"
"Shawn Long?" Doris was stunned for a moment before she then said, "Shawn Long is a very famous and rich man in Hong Kong, and he is very flirtatious. Why are you inquiring about him?"
Charlie said, "I'm looking for him to discuss something with him, but I don’t want to use my real identity to do so. Therefore, I wanted to ask you if there is a good opportunity for me to meet him normally after I go to Hong Kong?"
Doris said, "Chairman, Emgrand Group does not have any business dealings with him, but I remember that a large section of his main business is ocean shipping. Why don't you give Autumn a call and ask her about it? There should be no problem if you go under the name of Ito-Schulz Ocean Shipping Group.”
"I got it.” Charlie smiled and said, "In that case, I'll give Autumn a call. You can go ahead and get busy.”
Doris did not expect that Charlie would hang up so soon, and she subconsciously said, "Chairman, wait a moment..."
Charlie asked her, "What's wrong? Do you need me for something?"
Doris hurriedly said, "Um... That... It’s like this... You cured my father's illness before this, and my parents have always been very grateful to you. However, they have never been able to find a good opportunity to thank you. My mother told me a few days ago that she wanted to invite you to have dinner at our house. I told her that you were in the United States, and she asked me when you would be coming back. She would like to invite you to our house for dinner if it'd be convenient for you.”
Charlie knew that Doris's family had always been grateful for the matter related to Doris' father getting poisoned and suffering from kidney failure. However, he smiled casually and said, "Tell uncle and aunt that they don't need to be so courteous with me. It's just a little effort on my end."
Having said that, Charlie then said again," But don't worry. I will definitely make time to visit them after I come back.”
Doris said happily, "Okay, Chairman. I will tell my mother that you will come to our house for a casual dinner when you're back, then!" "Okay!" Charlie readily agreed and smiled as he said, "I'll hang up first then, Doris. I will call Autumn."
