"Guo Linxian?"
Qian Shuzhen was stunned for a moment. This name... sounds a little familiar.
The door was pushed open, and a middle-aged woman wearing a well-fitting cheongsam and with a dignified temperament walked in.
When their eyes met, they were both stunned!
"It's you?!"
Qian Shuzhen screamed, her eyes wide open.
The person in charge of the translation department in front of him was none other than Liu Rumeng’s mother, Guo Linxian!
She had met the "capitalist lady" once in Northeast China and was deeply impressed by her!
Guo Linxian obviously recognized Qian Shuzhen as well, and a hint of surprise also flashed across her face, but it was quickly replaced by a professional and polite smile, but that smile was filled with obvious surprise and understanding.
"Reporter Qian? It's you! This... this is truly a case of meeting someone somewhere in life!"
As she spoke, she stepped forward and extended her hand. "Welcome to Hong Kong Island and to our branch office. I never thought we would meet here again."
Qian Shuzhen quickly held Guo Linxian's hand, feeling very complicated.
When she was in Northeast China, Qian Shuzhen witnessed with her own eyes how Guo Linxian forced her daughter to divorce Lin Huowang, and even wrote an article to report it in anger.
Although the specific names and identities of Guo Linxian and Liu Rumeng were not mentioned, the article caused quite a stir nationwide and probably had a significant impact on their reputations.
And now in Hong Kong, at Xinhua News Agency, they have become comrades working side by side!
This wonderful fate left her at a loss for words.
Guo Linxian quickly adjusted herself to the situation, warmly asked Qian Shuzhen to sit down, and personally poured her a glass of water.
After a brief greeting, Guo Linxian seemed to have thought of something, and a smile appeared on her face. "Comrade Shuzhen, you and my daughter Mengmeng are old friends. If she knew you were in Hong Kong Island, she would be very happy."
As she spoke, she picked up the phone on the table and dialed a number. "Hello, Mengmeng? It's me. Guess who's in Hong Kong Island? And working in our branch? ... It's Qian Shuzhen! Yes, that reporter Qian from Northeast China! ... She's in my office right now."
Liu Rumeng's surprised voice immediately came from the other end of the phone.
Guo Linxian smiled and said to Qian Shuzhen, "Mengmeng said she must play the role of a good host. She asked you to wait. She will come to pick you up and give you a warm welcome. She will also take you to familiarize yourself with the environment."
Not long after, a Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow stopped downstairs of the branch office, attracting the attention of passers-by.
Liu Rumeng came to pick him up in person.
When she saw Liu Rumeng again, Qian Shuzhen was in a trance again.
The Liu Rumeng in front of me is more radiant than when she was in the Northeast. Her temperament is more elegant and calm, with a kind of nobility that is carefully cared for. Her clothes are low-key yet luxurious, and it can be said that she blends perfectly with the environment of Hong Kong Island.
"Reporter Qian!"
Seeing Qian Shuzhen, Liu Rumeng happily came forward and gave her a warm hug. "That's great! You can come to Hong Kong Island to work! When Mom called to tell me, I couldn't believe it! Isn't this too much of a coincidence?"
Liu Rumeng did not take Qian Shuzhen to the restaurant, but took her directly back to Villa No. 3 in Repulse Bay.
The car drove into the villa area nestled against the mountains and the sea, shaded by green trees, and stopped in front of the carved iron gate.
The guard bowed respectfully and opened the door.
As the car drove in, the view suddenly opened up.
The neatly trimmed lawn, the uniquely shaped fountain, the well-arranged garden landscape, and the European-style main building exuding elegance in the sunshine...
All this shocked Qian Shuzhen, who had just experienced the bustling streets of Hong Kong Island, even more strongly.
Walking into the spacious, bright and luxuriously decorated living room, there is a thick and soft carpet under your feet, a huge crystal chandelier above your head, and oil paintings that are difficult to understand but obviously worth a lot of money hanging on the walls.
Linda, the British housekeeper, dressed in a black dress, bow tie, and white gloves, asked in a London-accented English with a smile, "Miss Liu, what would this distinguished guest like to drink? Tea? Coffee? Or juice?"
Next to them were several Filipino maids in uniform, quietly waiting in a far corner.
Qian Shuzhen felt like she had entered another dimension. She didn't know where to put her hands and feet. She could only stand there awkwardly, staring at this unimaginably luxurious environment with her eyes wide open, her heart in turmoil.
Lin Huowang... This guy actually lives like this in Hong Kong Island?
I was in the Northeast and I was worried about his whereabouts all the time. I was afraid that he would have a hard time after leaving Jilin Province. I didn’t know how hard his life must be... This... This is simply... the extravagant life of capitalists!
Liu Rumeng noticed her discomfort, smiled, pulled her to sit on the soft Italian leather sofa, and asked the butler to bring some tea and snacks.
While the servants were gone, Liu Rumeng's expression grew serious, and she lowered her voice and said, "Reporter Qian, I'm really glad you can come. But there are some things I must explain to you in advance."
Since you recognized him, you should be aware of the unique nature of his current identity. The identity of 'Kobayashi Tenwang' is of great importance, involving a very important...national mission.
His true identity is top secret! It must not be known to anyone, including anyone in the branch except me and my mom!
You are an insider, so you must help him keep this secret! There must not be any leaks! Otherwise, the consequences will be disastrous! Can you promise me?"
Qian Shuzhen looked at Liu Rumeng's serious eyes, and her heart trembled. She nodded immediately and said, "I understand! Don't worry! Rumeng, I understand the rules and I know the importance of things! I will keep this secret to myself and I will never let a single word out!"
