Chapter 146: Gift for Adults (1)
Fang Luoyi was born on April 1963, 4.

On April 1981, 4, he officially turned 17.

This age is a very memorable moment, no matter in the East or the West.

Four days passed in a blink of an eye.

Fang Luoyi, the eldest princess of the richest family, is finally going to celebrate her birthday and her 18th birthday ceremony.

There is no doubt that the coming-of-age ceremony banquet will be held at the five-star Hilton Hotel in Central.

Although it was scheduled to start at 6pm, the hotel became busy from 9am.

Fang Hexuan had informed them in advance that those attending the banquet were all leading figures from all walks of life, so the hotel reception must not be sloppy.

For safety reasons, Fang Hexuan even asked mainland bodyguards to enter the hotel venue in advance to check for any possible hidden dangers.

At the beginning of April, the mainland sent him another 10 people, all of whom were retired soldiers and had special skills.

Before coming here, they all received six months of security training in a special unit.

Ordinary Hong Kong people may not notice it, but Hong Kong media and upper-class celebrities are all aware that Mr. Fang, the richest man, has added more bodyguards.

This has also become a common joke used by many prominent figures in Hong Kong to mock Fang Hexuan, the richest man in the city, at private gatherings.

After all, Fang Hexuan beat them in too many aspects, and it was really frustrating most of the time.

In addition to bodyguards from the mainland, Fang Hexuan temporarily hired 100 people from a Hong Kong security company to join the security work outside the hotel.

In short, he didn't want to have any imperfect memories on the day when his sister turned eighteen.

Of course, ensuring the safety of all the big guys is also very important.

After all, they are all bigwigs that ordinary people can think of in politics, business, news, culture, film and television.

Fang Hexuan actively invited them this time.

They include Mr. and Mrs. Murray MacLehose, several senior officials of the Hong Kong government, the president of the Hong Kong branch, consuls of G7 member countries, leaders of the Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai Chamber of Commerce, leaders of the Chaoshan Chamber of Commerce, leaders of the Dongguan Chamber of Commerce, Hu Xian, Jin Yong, Huang Zhan, Jackie Chan, Wang Tianlin, Sammo Hung, Tsui Hark, Yuen Woo-ping and so on.

The management of my own company was also among those present.

Zhou Liang Shuyi will accompany him to meet his political friends in the evening, and Jiang Guoyong will help him introduce some business seniors.

In addition, talents like Canning Ho who are being focused on training will also stay with the richest man and make new friends together.

In fact, although it was said to be a coming-of-age ceremony for Fang Luoyi, it couldn’t be that pure.

Everyone uses this occasion to communicate with each other and build relationships.

Even Fang Hexuan himself had this idea.

The reason for inviting consuls from many countries in Hong Kong is also to pave the way for BYD's export.

Moreover, these top figures can be new connections for anyone, as long as they have the ability to make friends.

Fang Hexuan also introduced his younger sister Fang Luoyi to everyone and helped her build her own network of contacts.

The reason why he is so attentive is really because Mr. Fang had no parents, let alone brothers and sisters in his previous life.

He can be cruel and ruthless to his enemies, but he always wants to give the best to his loved ones in this life.

Lu Qiaoling and Fang Luoyi were both well aware of the concept of family affection that was ingrained in Fang Hexuan's bones.

Today’s protagonist Fang Luoyi suffered from insomnia last night and had big dark circles under her eyes when she woke up in the morning.

If it were usual, Lu Qiaoling would definitely blame and teach him a lesson.

But on this day, the mother was extra gentle to her daughter, for fear of making her unhappy and throwing a tantrum.

Today happens to be Friday, and St. Stephen's Girls' School has simply closed the afternoon for the coming-of-age ceremony banquet tonight.

The purpose was of course to give the students and teachers who accepted the invitation time to prepare. Of the 119 female classmates in the same grade, not one had the same birthday as Fang Luoyi.

This made the female principal sigh that April 4th was destined to be Miss Fang's special day.

Because when Fang Hexuan invited her, he also promised that as long as there is someone who is born on the same day and month as Fang Luoyi, they can be the protagonist of tonight's birthday party together.

The coming-of-age ceremony of Mr. Fang’s sister has attracted not only the media’s attention, but also the Hong Kong fashion industry’s.

Several European luxury brands operating in Hong Kong have publicly expressed their desire to provide dresses for the guests on site.

These words are of course exaggerated. After all, those who can appear at the scene are either rich or noble, so how could they need to wear their clothes?

But there were always gossips who leaked the news that someone from St. Stephen's Girls' School had accepted the invitation to attend the banquet.

Therefore, these brands naturally have this in mind.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Fang Luoyi's classmates and teachers appeared one after another in the dress and makeup room specially opened for guests in the Hilton Hotel.

They need to choose dresses here and receive careful dressing by senior makeup artists.

The protagonist Fang Luoyi naturally came as well, but she was making preparations in the presidential suite on the top floor.

That’s right, Fang Luoyi and her mother are now in the room where Takakura Miki lives.

Although it is called a room, the presidential suite is not small. Even in a five-star hotel, there is only one such room.

The area is more than 200 square meters, comparable to a top-level apartment.

Both mother and daughter knew that Fang Hexuan often stayed here, but they didn't care.

At this time, there were not only Lu Qiaoling, Fang Luoyi and Takakura Miki in the suite, but also more than ten makeup artists and costume designers.

There is another person here, she is Miss He.

Since they first met at the branch's New Year reception during the Spring Festival, the two young ladies hit it off immediately.

Afterwards, they went shopping, horseback riding, and golf together, and even experienced a scene where they encountered a thief at a Danny Chan concert.

After Ms. He returned to the United States to study, the two often agreed on time to talk on the phone on weekends.

Naturally, Fang Luoyi invited Miss He to attend her coming-of-age ceremony, and she generously took leave and flew back from the United States.

The two rich daughters didn't care about the makeup artist working on their heads and faces, they just chatted excitedly.

"Oh, what a pity! If we had known each other earlier, I would have definitely attended your coming-of-age ceremony last year."

"Haha, life is never perfect. Although you didn't make it to my coming-of-age ceremony, you can definitely attend my wedding."

"Hehe, Atong, are you thinking about love? Which handsome guy is it? I want to meet him."

"Go to hell, you clearly understand what I mean. I'm talking about the future, not now."

"Okay, okay, let's make it a deal. When we get married in the future, we will be each other's bridesmaids."

"Yeah, yeah, keep your word."

"Hehe, but tonight is an exception. You can dress up a little prettier. My brother told me that there will be many young talents present today. Although I know you like Aqiang, you are the eldest princess of Macau. You can't let these people look down on you, right?"

"Forget it. I can't steal your limelight."

"Hehe, it's okay, as long as you can snatch it."
