When the cruise ship arrived at the small town of Yangshuo, it was completely dark.
The cool rain began to fall in the night.
Before leaving Shanghai, Lin Su asked a girl more than once whether she needed to prepare a residence for Simon in advance. According to the man's schedule, she would definitely stay in Yangshuo tonight. Alison just said that she had made arrangements in advance and didn't need to worry about it.
There were some doubts.
Simon westeroken is sure to come to China for the first time. Even though Yangshuo scenic spot, which began to open to international friends in the 1970s, is well-known overseas, it seems unlikely that the other party will arrange it in advance.
If we don't treat each other well, it will only be her dereliction of duty.
Arriving at his destination, Lin Su found that his previous worries were totally superfluous.
It's very redundant.
Looking at the ancient courtyard on the east side of the Li River, which is located on the top of the mountain and overlooks the West Bank of Yangshuo city and the surrounding mountains, Lin Su even has a faint sense of unreality.
Other hospitals are clearly well designed.
Entering the interior of the other courtyard, Lin Su looks at the pavilions and pavilions with green bricks and green tiles under the classical wood carving style street lamps. Even if he can't see the far surroundings at night, he can imagine the perfect integration of the other courtyard and the surrounding landscape. Walking along the Qingshi corridor, we can see that the other courtyard with the layout of ancient Siheyuan covers an area of no less than ten mu, or even more than one hectare.
After receiving special instructions directly from the central government, we should receive a distinguished guest according to the treatment of state guests. Several leaders of Yangshuo County have just come out in person to meet people at the dock.
Lin Su looked at the figure of a young man who was surrounded by two heads of the county government. After all, he couldn't help asking a staff member of the county government, "secretary Liu, it seems very new here. When was it built?"
The Secretary surnamed Liu didn't know the identity of Lin Su very well. After hearing this question, he thought about it and then said respectfully: "about two years ago, an Australian Chinese businessman whose ancestral home happened to be Guangxi hoped to build a house in Yangshuo for vacation. It is said that the Chinese businessman has a $1 billion investment fund and plans to invest all of it in China. Such a patriotic businessman must pay attention to it. After the study, the provincial government, in combination with the Chinese businessman's own opinions, specially approved the area at the top of Dongling Mountain. I didn't expect that it would be used to entertain Mr. Simon westero today. It's our pleasure. "
Lin Su carefully studied the resume of a young tycoon in advance, and she keenly captured the word "Australia" from Liu Mi's book.
Simon westrow's wife is from Australia, and she has made a large investment in Australia in recent years. The Johnston family is responsible for the operation. It can also be said that bituo group, an Australian mining giant under westrow system, has been increasing its cooperation with China's domestic steel industry in recent years.
In addition, in Lin Su's view, secretary Liu's "Chinese businessman" is more likely to be just a Chinese American fund manager.
In the 1990s, it was not so common to be rich at the level of $1 billion. Perhaps there was no shortage of Chinese businessmen with a wealth of $1 billion in Southeast Asia, but she had never heard of Australia.
Well, if you think about it, some truth will come out.
This manor may be attached to someone else's name, and the real owner behind it is more likely to be Simon westero himself.
Lin Su knows that this super rich man has the habit of buying real estate all over the world.
What's more, Simon westero is probably the only one with the financial resources to invest in the construction of such a luxury courtyard, which is located on the top of the mountain and covers a large area. It was completed in just two years.
The county leader just sent Simon to the gate of the inner courtyard.
After a man entered the inner courtyard, he never showed up again, but Lin Su was responsible for arranging the follow-up, coordinating with girl a to arrange the accommodation and dinner for many entourage, coordinating the arrangement of a team of armed police sent by the county to take charge of security guard, and finally following girl a to enter the inner courtyard. It was already more than 8 p.m.
All of a sudden, I felt uneasy.
She was instructed in advance to meet all the requirements of the distinguished guest as much as possible.
The implication is already very obvious.
Lin Su knew that he could refuse.
Just, and then?
Living in the system since childhood, Lin Su enjoyed the superior life brought by the system. At the same time, he could feel the insignificance and powerlessness of the individual in front of the national machine.
Like this time.
Lin Su knows very well why he is arranged to take over such a job that does not seem to benefit much.
Because she has just rejected the pursuit of a leading young man, who is 36 years old and has been divorced three times, and is also proud and restless on weekdays. Lin Su was 30 years old. In order to get her doctorate, she didn't leave Zhejiang University until she was 27 years old. Then she went to England to study for a year. Last year, she worked in the system according to her parents' arrangement and arranged blind dates for her.
Because of Lin Su's resistance, the Lin family failed to marry off their daughter before the age of 30.
Lin Su did not deny that it was because of her high vision.Age is her disadvantage again.
If she thinks highly of her, others have some scruples about her age. If she doesn't mind her age, she doesn't think highly of her for various reasons.
As a result, I was suddenly pressed into such a job.
In a wing room in the inner courtyard, Lin Su began to fidget after having dinner alone.
The mountains are quiet and the courtyard is deep.
If he calls himself in and refuses, he may break in directly.
At that time, probably no one will pay attention to the broken throat.
Yeah.
Chen Qing's nanizi is obviously willing to take the initiative. Maybe she can take the lead.
But what if he wants to be alone?
It was two years ago that Simon westero went to study in England because she was in the same English cultural circle. Even if she didn't want to, she had heard a lot about each other unconsciously.
In terms of men and women, at least, this is not a good man either.
In the western language, it's Playboy.
Just, thinking about getting along with him from yesterday, Lin Su suddenly felt that he was also a man who didn't disgust people at all. Not to mention his huge wealth, but the talent displayed by this man is almost heartbreaking. A 26 year old who has never set foot in China can not only speak Mandarin so well, but also have a deep understanding of Chinese culture.
In the morning, he only listened to it once and recited that "it was so colorful." Lin Su was so surprised.
However, only such a person can create a huge wealth empire in just eight years.
There are always miracles in the world.
Simon westero is obviously one of them.
Sitting alone in the living room of the wing room, leaning against the table and propping up his chin, all kinds of wishful thinking, come back to mind, the time is already more than 10 o'clock in the night.
No one came to call her.
No one broke in.
All of a sudden, Lin Su found that he should be a little amorous. She is really a beautiful woman in China, but the aesthetic of westerners is different from that of Orientals. She probably knows that Westerners think that Oriental women with high cheekbones and angular faces are good-looking, and her soft face has nothing to do with these special features.
Maybe, in the eyes of that man, he is ugly.
Inexplicable, the mood began to get up.
Live so big, proud for 30 years, suddenly found that he may be an ugly eight strange, how can a good mood?
After all, busy all day, put down some thoughts, tired hit. Some of the interior design of the courtyard is westernized. This wing room has a matching bathroom. It took a comfortable hot bath for a little long time, and then almost wanted to sleep in the bathtub.
In the bedroom, the retro bed, everything is brand new.
Blow dry hair, completely do not want to pay attention to other, take off the bath towel directly into the bed.
And then there's some obsessive-compulsive disorder.
I woke up in the faint birdsong and looked at my watch vaguely. It was 7:40.
My God!
After all, it's eight o'clock.
The moment I stepped out of the door, the mist filled my eyes. After a night of rain, the sky did not clear up. Looking around through the cracks in the building, the mountains loomed like a fairyland.
Suddenly feel, if you can live in such an environment for a lifetime, it seems good.
It's better to have someone with you.
A couple of gods.
When the word came to mind, Lin Su felt that his cheek was slightly hot.
He went to the front door of Simon's house and knocked on the door. A stewardess accompanying Simon opened the door. He left the plane and naturally became a waitress.
Yesterday, Lin Su introduced each other on the plane. He said hello to each other in English and couldn't help looking at the girl who spent the night in the main room. After a few words of conversation, they learned that Simon was on the viewing terrace on the west side of the other courtyard. After thanking each other, they went west through the courtyard.
Out of a side door, in front of you is a viewing terrace built on the edge of the cliff.
Compared with the scale and half claw just in the courtyard, it is a beautiful picture that makes people intoxicated and happy.
Near the picture scroll, a man in a simple black Pullover and khaki casual pants is sitting cross legged beside the railing, playing go with Chen Qing. They are talking and laughing, and they are very intimate. The girl a leans beside the man with a smile, and does not hide the intimacy between them.
Seeing her appear, the man smiles and asks if she can play go.
My grandfather is a professor in the Chinese Department of Zhejiang University. He has a family background. Although he majored in international relations in University, he planned to be in politics like his parents, but under the influence of his grandfather, go is certainly not a problem.See her nod, the man immediately patted his side, let her to help, he under Chen Qing.
There's always something you can't do.
A strange idea flashed through her mind. She went over and sat down next to the man. Then, in the cold, she felt the warm breath of the man beside her, and suddenly felt a little confused.
Looking at the chessboard calmly is obviously a very elementary game.
Knowing that Chen Qing is a top student in shangwai, maybe she is a few years younger, and her ability is absolutely not bad, she is obviously deliberately letting him. The man also does not hide, actively admitted by Chen Qing let six son, as if winning is still not big.
The game continues.
Opposite the dwarf, Chen Qing looks at Lin Su, who is close to Simon westero, and suddenly finds her blunder. After a while, he began to deliberately let the chess go and planned to lose as soon as possible. Then he could exchange positions and join hands with the opposite man on the pretext that Lin Su was too strong.
The man said that he wanted to win, but Lin Su didn't know Chen Qing's chess ability. Instinctively, he did his best according to the man's command.
Easy to win.
Then I heard Chen Qing saying that sister Lin was too powerful. In addition to the men around her, she even suggested that she join hands with Simon, which is fair.
The man is very easy to talk and agrees with a smile.
It wasn't until he sat opposite him and looked at the girl leaning against the man and touching her twice that Lin Su realized what had happened.
A little angry.
But it's more impolite. I don't want to take care of the man's face any more. I want to make the woman cry first.
Do your best.
As a result, he lost.
The man is very happy, and Chen Qing is also very happy. She has some grievances in her heart and is stronger in her heart. Of course, she won't show them.
So we went on.
The spirit of 12 points, we must win.
I lost again.
Recall just two chess, Chen Qing always vaguely pressure her some, will not appear too great disparity, but let her powerless resistance.
It was obviously intentional.
Bullying.
A little unconvinced, go on with the third set.
The result is still no suspense.
The man seems to know nothing about it, but the smile on the corner of his mouth may not be the case.
Suddenly realized that this is a guy who likes to see tit for tat between women.
Asshole.
And Chen Qing, who has no intention of covering up and leaning on him.
Can you wave a little more?
"Mr. westrow, do you want to continue? I think sister Lin is more and more powerful. She may lose next time."
"Well, then stop and don't give her a chance to turn over."
"Oh, Mr. westlow, you are so bad."
"Is there a Chinese saying that men are not bad and women do not love them?"
Chen Qing covered her mouth: "ah, do you know that?"
"Yes."
"Mr. westerlow, you are very knowledgeable. Well, erudite. This means that a person has a lot of knowledge. Well, is my explanation a little redundant? "
"Yes, yes."
Lin Su quietly tidied up the chessboard and listened to the conversation. He felt that he wanted to rush to the railing and vomit.
Men are not bad, women do not love.
Is that a good thing?
Chen Qing suddenly asked, "Mr. westero, if I guess correctly, this other hospital belongs to you, right?"
Lin Su couldn't help pricking up his ears.
Originally thought that the man would sophistry a few words, or look around to talk about him, did not expect, he readily admitted: "yes, I am used to no matter where I can have completely their own residence."
"Well, you will come to China often, won't you?"
“Maybe。”
The chessboard was packed up. I don't know when, girl a came back from the side door, carrying a tray with some tea and snacks on it.
It reminds me that I haven't had breakfast yet.
Seeing that girl a gave her a special breakfast, she sat down beside her and didn't bother her boss to flirt with a girl. Lin Su said thanks and found a topic to talk with Alison, but she couldn't help listening to the conversation between the man and Chen Qing.
This is his.
Then, the mood mixed up again.
Some guy spent a lot of money to build a manor on the top of a mountain in a foreign country a few years in advance for his future trip.
Such a man, Lin Su suddenly felt, really, a little terrible.
