Chapter 113

Song Ye paused and looked towards Wu Ming. The smile on his beautiful eyebrows had disappeared.

Wu Ming said calmly: "It's not hard to guess what you did, but she seems to have unusual trust in you. I advise you to take the initiative to confess. If you betray such trust, the consequences will not be what you want to see."

Song Ye's expression was a little subtle. He looked at Wu Ming for a while and then said, "Why do you think you stayed?"

Wu Ming frowned, then slowly relaxed his eyebrows, looking at the other person calmly without speaking.

"You should feel that she treats you differently from others," Song Ye smiled and said, "Aren't you curious?"

Wu Ming naturally thought of the girl's eyes that had been focused on him on the first day of school, and was confused. Distraught, surprised, angry, and an indescribable sadness...

Later, such gazes became less frequent, but he could still see the emotions leaking out of the girl's eyes when their eyes met inadvertently.

She did treat him differently.

It seemed like I was actually seeing another person through him.

"You look a lot like her brother." Song Ye said briefly.

Um?

Wu Ming looked at him doubtfully.

Song Ye's expression did not change. He leaned on the couch and said quietly: "The three of us originally planned to come to Hong Kong together, but Lin Wei's brother chose to stay in the mainland in order to take care of his frail parents. Lin Wei said this I can't let go of the matter. On the one hand, I feel guilty, and on the other hand, I am angry and sad because the other party regretted it temporarily."

Wu Ming frowned. There was no logical problem, but he felt intuitively that something was wrong.

Song Ye looked at him, "You do look a bit alike. Fang Mobai also has good academic performance and is very smart, but -" he prolonged his voice and said with a smile, "He is taller than you and has better health than you. Kinder and more lovable. After getting along for a while, you will realize that you are far from each other."

Wu Ming took a deep breath after hearing the other party's strange derogatory words: "What's the point of telling me this?"

"Ah, it's nothing. ," Song Ye said in an understatement, "Isn't this what small talk is all about? When making friends, you always talk about irrelevant things."

Wu Ming said directly: "You don't have many friends, right?"

Song Ye: "..."

He looked up. He glanced at Wu Ming and said, "Do you have one?"

Wu Ming remained silent.

Song Ye put down the book, "Then try to cooperate," he said, "At least we have the same goal now."

At least Wu Ming knew Chu Aidong very well.

...

At the end of November, Standard Chartered announced that it would formally withdraw from Hang Seng Bank.

Then news came out that Hang Seng's internal management was in disarray, its liquidity was poor, and there were credit risks. Standard Chartered had repeatedly communicated with no results and was unable to clean up the mess, so it decided to withdraw.

But before public opinion could ferment, on the same day, Hang Seng announced that it had received US$10 million in deposits from major customers.

This news detonated in Hong Kong, and everyone wanted to know who this big customer who spent a lot of money was.

No one cares about rumors anymore.

In fact, Su Tianrui's money had already arrived in Xiangjiang, and he was waiting for Hang Seng and Standard Chartered to separate before officially opening an account and transferring it.

Hengsheng thought he had great luck, but he didn't expect that this was just the beginning.

A few months ago, Lin Wei opened a public account in Hang Seng. There has been no movement since then, but cash has been pouring in since December.

In December, a total of US$22 million was received, equivalent to more than HK$115 million.

Every time, Hang Seng was frightened and dispatched security guards and more than 20 tellers to count the money.

Lin Wei immediately became a super customer of Hang Seng.

New Year's Day is approaching, and 66 years are about to pass in a blink of an eye. Yuan Guodong once again invited Lin Wei to his home.

The decoration of the Yuan family is very Chinese-style, but it is not as grand and aristocratic as the Chu family. Instead, it makes people feel simple and comfortable, and the halls are very bright.

The family has three generations of elderly and children living under one roof. Her parents are still alive and in good health. The eldest daughter is married and her husband is her foreign classmate and now lives abroad.

As for the younger daughter...

When Lin Wei arrived, the father and daughter were quarreling.

But she didn't see the scene. When the housekeeper took her in, the little girl was just taken away. She only heard some quarrels before entering the door.

Yuan Guodong was obviously very angry and spent time adjusting his emotions.

Upon seeing this, Mrs. Yuan first greeted Lin Wei and walked to the living room: "I'm sorry to make Miss Lin laugh."

Lin Wei handed the gift to the other party: "No, in a healthy parent-child relationship, noisy is the norm. It would be weird to be too polite. "

Yuan Guodong let out a breath, and when he heard what Lin Wei said, he turned around and said with a smile: "This matter has something to do with Miss Lin."

Huh?

Lin Wei was confused.

Yuan Guodong took Lin Wei to his tea room.

Lin Wei was attracted by a very stylish low tea seat inside. It was a bit like the tatami tea table of later generations, very unique.

She took off her shoes along with the two hosts and sat down on the futon.

Mrs. Yuan placed the tea in front of Lin Wei.

"She is angry with us because I have been preventing her from participating in the goddess competition."

Ah -

Lin Wei reacted. She had indeed heard the news that the youngest daughter of the Ship King was going to participate in the competition, but she thought This is a baseless rumor and is not taken seriously.

And she didn't know which shipping king it was at that time, because there are now four shipping kings in Xiangjiang. It is now the rising period of the development of shipping in Xiangjiang. The two old ones have not yet retired, and the two new ones are evenly matched. Maybe it is the media. Got it wrong.

I didn't expect it to be true.

Now the goddess competition is about to come to an end. The final stage is the hottest time and is scheduled for New Year's Eve. I guess the little girl can't help but get angry when she sees the news.

"Then... on the day you attended Mr. He's birthday party, did you also have a quarrel with your little daughter?" Lin Wei asked.

Yuan Guodong was very surprised: "How did you know?"

Lin Wei suddenly smiled and said: "Because you seemed to be in a bad mood when you saw me."

The two couples opposite were stunned for a moment, and then they laughed together.

"Look at you -" his wife Fang Jiahui smiled and pushed Yuan Guodong, "Did you show off at that time? What does this have to do with Miss Lin?"

Yuan Guodong said with a smile: "Don't blame Miss Lin, I thought I was acting very well. It's normal, but I didn't expect my emotions to leak out."

Because of this little episode, the atmosphere of the three people's chat became much more relaxed and pleasant.

It's not that they are afraid of their daughter going out to show off, but that the younger daughter's temper is too irritable. She usually plays games and is happy when she wins, but loses face when she loses. She doesn't know how to hide her temper, so it's not a particularly big problem, but If the attention increases, small problems will be magnified in the public eye, and newspapers may have unpleasant words.

Their daughter's mentality is immature and she will not be able to bear such controversy. They also want to protect their children.

Of course Lin Wei could understand that being a parent was like this, and one had to have profound plans for their children.

Yuan Guodong talked about several children in his family: "My two daughters were trained as successors. As a result, one of them liked art and went abroad and didn't like to come back. The younger one thought about it all day long. When it comes to movie stars, the same goes for the youngest one. They all say that when he is three years old, he is not as good as his two sisters... I used to sigh when I saw you in the newspaper, what kind of parents can raise a child? Such an outstanding daughter?"

Lin Wei smiled, thinking that you didn't know me in your last life, otherwise you would have the same emotion as today.

She did not follow the other person's words and said a few words of humility, but smiled and said: "My parents actually have the same idea as you. They also think of me the same way. They think I am a failure. They have always trained me to be a scholar and think that I am a failure." Girls should engage in academics, or else become a university teacher. In their eyes, this is the right path. On the contrary, my doing business is a very rebellious behavior in their eyes."

Yuan Guodong was stunned: "Is this so?"

It's not that...

she just likes to comfort people like this.

"Having a child is actually risky. It's like opening a blind box. You don't favor boys over girls, so you don't have to worry about gender issues. But before a child is born, we don't know what she will look like. You guessed it, she is cute. , smart and healthy, but she may also be naughty, stupid, and disabled..."

Lin Wei looked at the two people's thoughts and said slowly: "I participated in a project before, I don't know what the other two are doing. Have you ever seen the Rubik's Cube Competition? There is a nine-year-old girl in it. She is very smart and cute, but she cannot integrate into society. Such children cannot leave the care of their parents and cannot be independent for the rest of their lives. I think her mother is now worried about Her expectation may not be how good she is, but she only hopes that she can be as healthy and happy as ordinary children..."

Chicken babies will be re-examined in later generations, early education classes, international schools, school district housing, interest classes, college entrance examinations, studying abroad ...

What kind of child is considered an outstanding child? Every parent has different standards. Some are TOP2, some are 985, and some may just want their children to be healthy.

"You're right..."

Yuan Guodong realized that Lin Wei was trying to explain them, and his heart was very complicated. He usually explained things to others. This was the habit of the elderly. He didn't expect that she would have such an understanding at such a young age. .

"It's really rare that you can be so open-minded even though you haven't even given birth to a child," Fang Jiahui praised. "It's also a rare fate. Miss Lin first saved Lei'er, and now she saves us. Looking at Miss Lin, I feel It seems that I have another daughter."

Lin Wei was stunned. What did they mean? Do they really want to recognize her as their goddaughter?

The intention is not too obvious, or are you trying to avoid being too presumptuous?

Speaking of which, Lin Wei's emotional intelligence is not that high. It's just that she has become more discerning after living for a long time, and treats uncertain things as nothing.

"I also envy your family's harmonious appearance. The whole family can be happy together. This is something I can't hope for now. Parents love their children and have far-reaching plans. I can only truly understand it after I leave my parents. "They." Lin Wei was just talking politely at first. To these parents, she naturally wanted to talk about children, father's love and mother's love, and talk about the deep love between babies, so that the topic would not fall off. But after talking about it, she had more thoughts. A bit sad.

Her parents were also in pain that she couldn't let go of.

Since May this year, the two places have been completely cut off. Everyone is worried about the situation in the mainland, but she dare not watch any more news from the mainland. She can't do anything. She can't hear any discussion about this matter. She felt that she was very optimistic, but once she thought about the last time she was alone in her last life, she did not dare to think about it anymore. The horror of human nature could not withstand any divergence.

The advantage of being busy is that traveling to and from school and company, dealing with endless documents, and queuing up for social events are a kind of distraction for her.

"Poor child-" Fang Jiahui couldn't help but stretched out her hand to cover Lin Wei's hand.

She was usually simple and low-key, accompanying Yuan Guodong to build a family from scratch, and endured a lot of hardships. Originally, she didn't like an overly extravagant girl like Lin Wei, but after chatting for a while, she found that it was very different from what she had known before.

Lin Wei suppressed her emotions and smiled: "When I introduce my parents to you later and complain about my children, you must have a lot to talk about. Not only me, my brother is also a headache for them."

Yuan Guodong laughed: " Then I'll wait, I like chatting with literati, and I'm knowledgeable -"

Following this topic, they chatted about Lin Wei's parents. When Fang Jiahui heard that Lin Wei's father's surname was Fang, she sighed that it was fate. It’s still our family, we need to move around more.

The atmosphere had always been good, and Lin Wei herself couldn't tell whether it was because both parties wanted to enhance their sense of intimacy, or because the couple was too good at chatting.

Until the housekeeper knocked on the door and said that a guest had arrived.

"I almost forgot, I also made an appointment with two directors of HSBC today. I wonder if Miss Lin would mind if we go over and meet together?"

Ah -

Lin Wei realized that Yuan Guodong wanted to help her match up.

There is no reason to refuse. One more place to borrow money means more paths, and it’s okay to just get to know each other.

HSBC - the largest financial group in Hong Kong.

How about trying to borrow some money?

Lin Wei's brain started to work spontaneously and returned to business operation mode.

"I won't accompany you anymore. I'll go to the kitchen to see if there is anything Miss Lin likes to eat?" Fang Jiahui stood up and said.

"Anything is fine, I'm not picky about food."

Today is a banquet, and I won't leave until after the meal. Eating out is not just to be full, so you can't really impose conditions.

Probably to cater to the preferences of the two directors, Yuan Guodong prepared English-style afternoon tea on the terrace.

"This is Mike, the chief executive of HSBC, and this is Ahmed, the director of HSBC..."

Lin Wei looked at the two people in front of her. They were both of superior height, wearing suits and leather shoes, and dressed in traditional British gentleman style.

Her eyes fell on the older British man, who turned out to be the senior manager of HSBC. She was somewhat surprised that Yuan Guodong really made an effort to help her, and he actually directly invited his top leader.

But as soon as she sat down, Lin Wei was tortured - "Ms. Lin, why don't you open an account with HSBC?"

Lin Wei showed a complicated smile.

Can we talk about the psychological shadow of the 21st century?

She actually wanted to say that you guys love "selling" people too much. There was Hu Xueyan in the past and a senior executive in the back. If she confronts the British Hong Kong government one day, stop freezing her funds into the treasury of the British Hong Kong government. .

"The past is important, but the future is even more worth looking forward to," Yuan Guodong sat down with a smile, "Miss Lin... her future achievements will definitely attract much attention."

She is indeed a well-rounded shipping king, but it would be better not to add the last sentence, because the pressure is too much .

"Before this -" Lin Wei was not modest about Yuan Guodong's "praising", but took advantage of the situation and said, "If you really want to achieve remarkable achievements, you have to rely on HSBC's help."

The other three people looked towards She wants to hear her unfinished thoughts.

Lin Wei said directly: "If I use Hezi's equity as collateral, how much loan can I get from HSBC?"
