Charlie's words caused Shawn to have a stunned expression.
It was the first time he had heard such remarks.
If someone else had said these words, he would have scoffed as he would have thought that the other party was just being hypocritical.
In Hong Kong, where the entertainment industry was very developed, which rich man would not want to get involved in the entertainment industry and have some scandals with celebrities of the opposite sex?
There were even a few who would marry celebrities.
However, Charlie felt that it was a disgrace to be related to the entertainment industry, and this was obviously not in line with reality.
Still, Shawn thought about it carefully, and he immediately discovered a very surprising fact.
In Hong Kong, those who really liked to get involved with celebrities were often the rich heirs.
On the contrary, those self-made rich men who had started from nothing never paid any attention to the entertainment industry at all.
These cases often happened in Hong Kong.
A rich man's son might pursue a big celebrity in the entertainment industry madly and even plan to marry the celebrity, making her his wife.
However, the head of the family would never give him the chance to do so, rejecting the celebrity directly.
There were even some celebrities who would give birth to a few children for a rich heir, but ultimately, they would fail to marry into the said wealthy family.
The reason for this was because the wealthy people who had started from scratch had much greater abilities, drive, knowledge, insight, and self-positioning compared to rich heirs who were born with a silver spoon in their mouths. They were simply not in the same league.
Charlie nodded, and just then, he suddenly received a phone call from Kathleen.
So, he hurriedly said to Shawn, "Excuse me, Mr. Long, I'll need to take this phone call.’
Shawn hurriedly said, "Please go ahead.'
Charlie pressed the answer button, put the phone to his ear, and said, “Hello, Miss Fox.'
Kathleen said respectfully over the phone," Mr. Wade, I'm calling to report to you that the plane that Janus is taking will be landing at Hong Kong Airport in about two and a half hours at 2:00 pm local time in Hong Kong. So, please be prepared to deal with it."
Charlie glanced at Shawn. Shawn was sitting opposite him, and the distance between them was relatively far. Charlie felt that it would be impossible for Shawn to hear what was being said over the phone, so he smiled and said, "Thank you, Miss Fox. I've already made all the arrangements here, so you can rest assured."
