I'm in the county town, and you say I'm a big shot?

Chapter 502 Hooking up
They immediately engaged in deep conversation, drank together, and he even invited her to his home—but in the end, O'Anli was so frightened that she fled in panic. It turned out this guy was gay! And a bottom at that!

This disgusted O'Neill.

You don't have to be a man, a woman will do. I don't mind, how about sacrificing yourself for the company this once?
But the man... he just couldn't muster any interest.

He ordered a Heineken from the waitress, pretending not to notice the stares, his gaze still scanning the crowd.

If not, it's perfectly acceptable to go and chase after girls and have a one-night stand without feeling guilty.

But today, his gaze suddenly fell on a girl wearing a blue and green dress, with blonde hair, blue eyes, and bright red lips; she was a very beautiful woman.

O'Anli looked at her with a hint of surprise, not because of her beauty, but because she recognized her:

Isn't this Katia, the assistant to Ricardo, the president of Philgrey Company? He recognized the woman from the official website and the information Yue Kai had given him.

The girl had just come in from outside and sat alone on a high stool, seemingly lost in thought.

O'Neill saw this as an opportunity and decided to take the initiative.

Katia was indeed quite troubled, overwhelmed by work-related issues.

With the soybean harvest season fast approaching, branch managers from various regions are calling every day with the same question: "When will the funds for purchasing soybeans be allocated?"

These managers sometimes couldn't get definite answers from the president and vice president, so they called her.

The problem is, I don't know either.

Of course, as the president's assistant, Katia patiently maintained her leader's image: "It's under negotiation, please wait patiently for a while longer."

The other person would complain to her, which made her feel very unhappy.

I'm not a CEO. If I were, I'd negotiate with the Chinese right now!
I was feeling irritable today, so I came to a bar to have a drink.

Suddenly she heard a man with a accent say, "Beautiful lady, may I buy you a beer?"

Katia looked up and her eyes lit up. A handsome young man, more importantly, a white man with a European face!
In Lundrina, Hao is everywhere.

So she returned a charming smile.

"Thank you."

O'Neill immediately snapped his fingers at the waiter, "A Heineken, please." Then he sat down next to Katia in a gentlemanly manner.

The two chatted over beer.

"Judging from your accent, you don't seem to be a local?" Katia asked.

"Yes, I am Portuguese and I am here in Brazil for tourism."

“Oh, I used to go to university in Lisbon, it’s a beautiful city,” Katia said.

"Yes, Lisbon is a charming city, but I live in Porto, grew up there, and now work in Hong Kong."

O'Anli smiled, but inside he was panicking.

Has this girl been to Portugal?

I haven't been there yet.

He originally intended to say he was from Lisbon, but quickly changed his story to Porto, as the two places are quite far apart.

“No wonder, your accent doesn’t sound like a Lisbon native.” Katia gracefully brushed a strand of hair from her forehead. “I spent four years in Lisbon, so I know the situation there quite well.”

I'm from Macau.

Known as "Tu'ao" (meaning "local Ao"), their accent naturally carries a Macau accent.

Fortunately, this girl had never been to Macau.

Afraid the girl would press him about Porto, which he himself didn't know, O'Neill offered to say he worked in Hong Kong. Katia, upon hearing he worked in Hong Kong, seemed intrigued: "Have you ever been to mainland China?"

“No.” O’Anli told the truth: “But it’s developing very fast. There’s an inland city called Pengcheng, which is separated from Hong Kong by a small river. More than 30 years ago it was a small fishing village, but now it has developed into an international metropolis like Hong Kong.”

"Yes, it's developing very quickly. They've even expanded their business here. I really want to go to China and see for myself," the young woman said.

Of course, my big boss is planning to acquire your Philgrey company!

However, O'Anli didn't intend to ask this question directly. He planned to play the long game and catch a bigger fish, so he smiled and said:

"Welcome, welcome! When you come to China, you must visit Hong Kong. I'll take you to stroll around Victoria Harbour, climb Victoria Peak to watch the sunrise and sunset, and go to bars. Hong Kong's nightlife is definitely on par with Brazil's!"

"Looks like you really enjoy going to bars, huh?" The girl glanced at him.

Ou Anli laughed and said, "Life is about enjoying it while you can. Did you dance? Did you sing? Were you happy? If the answer is yes, then today was not wasted."

"Ha! You're absolutely right!" Katya admired O'Anli's attitude towards life.

“You really are Portuguese, completely different from those Chinese. In their eyes, there is nothing but work, and no joy in life.”

The girl pouted as she spoke.

O'Anli wholeheartedly agreed with this point, especially with his boss, Ms. Li Li.

His workday consists of reviewing various financial statements, or studying finance, investment, and business management; his office is filled with thick books. Or you could ask him to teach you Cantonese!

I've been in Hong Kong for several months and I've heard that I haven't been to a bar even once!
O'Anli strongly suspects that she will become an old maid who can't get married in the future.

Look, this girl in front of me is also a senior executive in the company. Look at her attitude towards life!

What a positive outlook on life!

“Miss Katya, let’s drink to our shared interests!” O’Anli raised his beer glass, and the two clinked glasses.

"O'Anli, let's go dancing!" Katia took O'Anli's hand and led him to the dance floor.

The frenzied dancing and the intoxicating alcohol revelry hadn't ended when the two were already embracing intimately.

"O'Anli, let's go back. I have to go to work tomorrow." Katia put her arm around O'Anli's shoulder, letting him put his arm around her waist, and walked out of the bar.

As soon as O'Anli reached out, a taxi quickly stopped beside him.

He helped the girl into the carriage, then climbed in himself and said to the driver, "Sir, to the Villarreal Hotel."

The car immediately drove forward, and Katia leaned on O'Anli's shoulder without saying a word.

Upon arriving at the hotel entrance, the two got out of the car and O'Neill helped Katya into the hotel lobby, where the bartenders were already used to it.

Once inside the room, O'Anli gently hugged Katya and said, "Darling, go take a shower."

"Um"

Listening to the rushing water in the bathroom, Ou Anli lit a cigarette and smiled slightly.

Brazilian girls are passionate and unrestrained, and O'Anli deeply felt this that night. He didn't fall into a deep sleep until after a passionate night together.

When O'Anli woke up, it was already broad daylight. He groggily opened his eyes and found Katya already dressed and sitting on the bed staring at him with sharp eyes.

Seeing the girl's eyes, Ou Anli was startled, but immediately smiled and said, "Honey, didn't you say you were going to work today?"

Katia didn't answer, but looked at him and asked, "Are you really Portuguese?"

“Yes, I live in Porto and work in Hong Kong,” O’Anli repeated what he had said before.

"You're lying to me!" the girl shouted, then suddenly pulled out a piece of paper and threw it in front of him: "You're from Macau, China!"
