Chapter 28

"Shi Jingchen, 22 years old, studied at the Business School of the University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom from 1961 to 1962, and studied for a doctorate at the University of Lyon in France from 1962 to 1964. In February 1965, he accepted the invitation of the University of Hong Kong and became the youngest teacher of the University of Hong Kong. He is now Opening French courses..."

Sun Muyin stopped after reading the newspaper and said, "Did he study for a year in college? He didn't even get a master's degree."

"It's possible for a bad guy who is good at studying to skip a master's degree and study for a doctorate. " After studying for a year and a half, Cambridge in the UK is a three-year program. He got a letter of recommendation in advance and went to France to study for a doctorate... The milk cover is ready, bring it over and let me take a look. "Lin Wei was teaching a few people at the bar. Girl makes milk tea.

Fang Yantang's diary about Shi Jingchen's academic experience...well, it's her diary from a previous life. In her diary, she praised people to the best of their ability, so she naturally knew it very clearly.

The man who could charm her so much in her previous life was naturally something special, and not all men could make people fall in love with her.

Fang Mobai and Shi Jingchen are the same age, but Fang Mobai had to go to college for 6 years. After working so hard, he finally graduated from college early. As a result, his younger brother had already completed his Ph.D., don't you think that's irritating? This is probably the difference between geniuses and ordinary people.

She subconsciously glanced at Song Ye who was standing on the ground. With such a halo, her original choice was understandable... right?

Song Ye happened to look towards her: "French course...he is taking the position of Professor Sun?"

"Huh?" Sun Muyin frowned.

"I just want him to make a transition and get familiar with the teaching atmosphere. Uncle Sun doesn't just teach French classes

, right?" When it came to French classes, Lin Wei was a little depressed. Song Ye started to learn French with Sun Boran. According to him, You have to balance work and rest, and learning just one language is too boring.

Is this what people say?

That's French, a language that's several levels more difficult than other languages. How much do you want to make yourself suffer before you challenge this?

I don't know where this person got the energy from. She was obviously tired from being fucked all day long.

As a qualified capitalist, Lin Wei used Song Ye as a mule, overseeing decoration, finding suppliers, cleaning, and helping with recruitment.

He does no less work than Lin Wei, and more of it is physical work. This man has a ruthlessness in his bones that is unmistakable.

It's usually hard to notice, and I'm fooled by the slowness and lightness of his attitude.

Lin Wei did not treat him badly and promised him to hold 10% of the milk tea shop, otherwise Lin Wei would find it difficult to keep him.

"If the other party wants half sugar, you add the amount of this small packet..." Lin Wei multitasked, teaching and chatting with the two of them. "The Chinese University also invited him."

Lin Wei's milk tea shop was under Song Ye's close watch Under the policy and pressure, the renovation took a month to complete. The factory started construction earlier, half a month ago, and a batch of goods was already piled in the warehouse.

Originally, they were planning to open a week ago, but suddenly riots broke out in Kowloon and Central. Due to the price increase of the Star Ferry, citizens were dissatisfied, leading to riots in Kowloon.

For fear of being affected, the opening was temporarily put on hold. They did not dare to go out for a while. Fortunately, the store was not damaged.

Lin Wei didn't know about this at all. It was almost six or seven years ago when they came in the previous life, and there was no mention of this in the diary.

It was indeed a dangerous situation, and I almost hit the muzzle of the gun.

"How could you forget such an outstanding person?" Sun Muyin's attention was still on Shi Jingchen.

Lin Wei slapped her hand, but this was asking about her pain point.

"He has been gone for several years. He was too young at that time and had changed so much that he almost didn't recognize him anymore." Lin Wei said nonsense.

Song Ye, who was washing mops, glanced at her.

"So you are still childhood sweethearts?" Sun Muyin was curious about their relationship.

"You know what childhood sweethearts are, we just know each other." Lin Wei said perfunctorily.

"Then you are so enthusiastic about him?"

A child's curiosity will never end, but she is only curious about Lin Wei because she feels that Lin Wei always thinks differently from others.

Lin Wei put down the ice bucket, sighed, and said: "There is enthusiasm, but it is not what you think. People are not only classified into men, women, old people, and children. In the eyes of businessmen, gender labels will be weakened. The main thing is to look at What can he bring to you, contacts or resources?"

These days, she is thinking about how to reuse old things.

Sun Muyin digested this "knowledge point" for a while, and then asked: "So when you donated the radio, you already thought about asking Ms. Ye Jing'en to help you deal with the firefighting?"

Lin Wei's hand scooping up the ice cubes paused: "This is the right thing to do. No, charity is charity. You have to be sincere to those you really want to make friends with, and don't be too philistine. This is an unexpected gain. "

Who would have thought that Ms. Ye Jing'en would be the nemesis of the fire department. Ms. Ye had built schools many times before. She was embarrassed for this time, so she reported it to the municipal department many times, but with no results. She directly exposed the corruption in Hong Kong City to the British media. The matter made a big fuss, so Ms. Ye was someone the fire department could not afford to offend.

She is a frequent visitor to the police station, either when she goes to find someone to cause "trouble" or when the police invite her to "drink tea."

Even if they honestly give money to the fire department, if a fire breaks out, these scammers will still have to charge water bills.

If you have this money, buy more equipment, install a phone, etc. There is no need to cheapen these moths.

Sun Muyin satisfied her curiosity and stopped talking. She looked at Shi Jingchen's resume and fell into deep thought.

Lin Wei asked casually: "Why, do you think he is awesome?"

Sun Muyin pursed her lips and said: "It's not bad -"

Lin Wei lowered her head and labeled the jam box, and said with a smile: "Actually, you can do it too, Go study abroad, go to a better school than him, such as MIT or Harvard."

"Study abroad?" Sun Muyin was stunned.

Lin Wei said "hmm", "Haven't you ever thought about it?" She stopped and her voice slowed down, "I'd better think about it when I have time. It's best to go outside and see more if you can study. Hong Kong City is a place as big as a palm. It will only limit your vision. The world is bigger than you imagine. Your talent is no worse than Shi Jingchen. He can become the youngest university professor. What about you, what do you want to do in the future and what kind of person do you want to be? Have you thought about it carefully? ?"

Sun Muyin was confused. The word "study abroad" made her feel very far away. Her mother always wanted her to work after finishing middle school. Every time she talked about studying in the future, her parents would quarrel. She thought she was the one who could study at the University of Hong Kong. Best choice.

"If you haven't thought about it, think about it carefully. When you are young, many choices will affect your life. You always think others are stupid, but there you will see people smarter than you. You are used to self-study and feel that teachers can't solve you. Confusion, but there are teachers who can answer your questions and help you explore a broader world, where there are greater challenges and a more fantastic and exciting life. If you have this opportunity, don’t you want to go outside? "

" I..." Sun Muyin suddenly paused, and the hope in her eyes slowly disappeared. She lowered her head and looked at the newspaper under her arm, with a hint of loneliness in her eyebrows: "They won't agree." She didn't say whether she wanted to go. The first thing that comes to mind is my parents’ obstruction.

Lin Wei shrugged and said: "I can provide you with some financial support, and you have to fight the rest by yourself. People cannot be pushed forward by the situation. You have to fight for good things by yourself. I will help You have cut the difficulty in half. If you still rely on others for the remaining half, it will definitely not work."

Sun Muyin's eyes slowly became blank, and she fell silent as she stared at the series of honorary titles of men in the newspaper.

"What you want is definitely different from what others give you."

Lin Wei placed a cup of freshly made milk tea in front of her.

Seeing this, Song Ye put down the mop and sat down consciously.

Lin Wei smiled and gave him another cup of fleshy grapes covered with milk.

Seeing the cool and beautiful color of the milk tea, Sun Muyin temporarily forgot her worries.

Sun Muyin took a sip of the strawberry milkshake, her pupils dilated visibly, she clenched her fists and said excitedly: "This is the best drink I have ever had."

Lin Wei made her laugh: "Everything you drink tastes good. "The pearl milk tea I drank yesterday was also the best. A girl who is usually quite steady has become childish."

"No, it's really delicious." Sun Muyin said with narrowed eyes.

Song Ye also nodded: "It tastes good."

Lin Wei smiled so happily that she wanted to reach out and rub the heads of these two "children".

Sugar is always a powerful tool to enhance happiness.

"When can we open for business?" Song Ye asked.

"Wait-"

Before she could finish her words, the phone inside rang.

Lin Wei went to answer the phone.

"Hello, may I ask...ah, Brother Jingchen..."

She smiled like a flower, and her voice became gentle and soft, "It's me, I've been waiting for you all morning."

Song Ye suddenly felt that the milk tea in his mouth was a little sweet.

Unexpectedly, Fang Mobai's imitation came to mind, and he got the essence of it.

Sun Muyin also touched her arm numbly.

The two people biting their straws looked at each other in understanding.

Fortunately, Lin Wei is good-looking and is not very annoying when she acts, but it is annoying to some extent.

It's just that for the person being spoiled, it's probably a different feeling.

"Reporter from "Sing Tao Daily"? That's great of course, but I'm just afraid that I won't be able to publish it by then. You know, foreigners are making a lot of money here... Do you still know their editor-in-chief?"

Lin Wei smiled with a crooked eye. , said in surprise: "Brother Jingchen, aren't you too good? Well... okay, I'll wait for you to pick me up..."

Sun Muyin looked at the ceiling blankly, feeling that she was still not used to it. She thought Lin Wei was right Yuan Yujun is already very good at pretending, but I didn't expect that she could pretend even more.

You can really feel like there is no one around.

This is probably why she wants to understand, or likes to study, Lin Wei.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Wei started packing her things and getting ready to go out.

After checking the receipt, she let out a breath, then picked up her bag and said to the two of them: "You two will look after the store while I go out."

Then she left like a gust of wind, leaving two confused souls behind.

He was smiling so happily just now, but his expression suddenly became so serious.

Song Ye looked thoughtfully at the direction Lin Wei left.

...

When Shi Jingchen came to pick up Lin Wei, he immediately saw the girl in the white dress standing at the intersection.

The white skirt was blown by the breeze, and the soft hair floated on her face. The girl gently opened her broken hair, with a smile on her eyebrows, and a pure and sweet aura emanating from her body.

Shi Jingchen was in a trance for a moment. The scene in front of him overlapped with a certain painting in his mind, but the difference was that the girl in front of him was more vivid.

Seeing Shi Jingchen get out of the car, Lin Wei showed a happy smile after waiting, and subconsciously ran a few steps, which made Shi Jingchen's heart warm.

"Have you been waiting for a long time?"

Lin Wei lowered his head and fastened his seat belt: "No, I just listened to you and went out later."

Shi Jingchen was delighted by the answer, lowered his head and smiled: "You are so sensible. , stand behind me for a moment and don’t speak, you know?”

After not seeing each other for a few years, the little sister in my memory seems to have become more well-behaved and cute.

Lin Wei said "Ah" and raised her head to look at Shi Jingchen with a slight smile, but with a hint of worry in her eyebrows: "I'm a little scared..."

Facing those pure eyes, Shi Jingchen softened unconsciously. He felt his heart and lungs and comforted him: "Don't worry, we have appraisal certificates and we won't let them default on their debts. You don't have to be afraid."

Lin Wei smiled and said with crooked eyes: "Thank you, brother Jingchen, I don't know what I would have done without you. The last time I went to Citibank to withdraw money, I was scared to death. The people were very aggressive." When she said the next thing, she frowned slightly, looking like she didn't want to think about it.

Shi Jingchen smiled and lowered his voice: "Just leave it to me, don't be afraid."

Shi Jingchen does have his charm, he is handsome and has an outstanding temperament. When he looks at you, his eyes are like water, and he is very affectionate. They all exude a soft and warm atmosphere, which is really hard to resist if you are at the age when you are just starting to fall in love.

Lin Wei's smile bloomed again and she nodded: "I will definitely listen to you."

When they arrived at Fusheng Building, Shi Jingchen opened the door for her. Lin Wei put her hand on the palm handed to her and looked at the towering building.

A handsome man and a beautiful woman, this pair has attracted a lot of attention.

Lin Wei just went back and changed her clothes. She wore an elegant white long dress with some light-colored patterns. The gauze skirt did not reach her knees, just revealing the smooth curves of her legs. It was paired with a thin light blue satin skirt. Heels, elegant yet exquisite.

The two entered Fusheng Building with high profile.

A Chinese staff member came up to them and asked them in English what they wanted and if they had an appointment.

"We are here to collect debts. Do we need to make an appointment?" Shi Jingchen replied in Chinese. He put away his gentle smile and directly complained, "I didn't care if I heard people speaking English when I was in the UK. How can I still make an appointment after returning to China?" Where are all these fake foreign devils?"

The staff member's expression changed, but seeing that the two were well-dressed, he led them to the guest seat in the lobby to wait.

While waiting, Lin Wei picked up the newspaper on the table, which contained news about the Kowloon incident a few days ago, as well as photos of Fu Sheng Building being surrounded by citizens at that time.

Lin Wei remembered what happened on the first day she came to Hong Kong City. She didn't pay much attention at the time. Only now did she understand what the foreign man meant by raising prices. It turned out that he was talking about raising the price of ferries, but this decision directly triggered the public's concern. dissatisfaction, triggering conflicts.

The price increase is a trivial matter, but public dissatisfaction is deep. Corruption has made everyone miserable and they are in urgent need of an outlet for their emotions.

The Star Ferry's price increase has hit the target.

The Star Ferry is a property of Kowloon Shipping Industry, and Kowloon Shipping Industry is controlled by Fusheng Matheson Co., so it is naturally the first to bear the brunt.

Shi Jingchen looked at the newspaper in her hand: "This is the right time. Fu Sheng is being questioned about the incident caused by the Star Ferry price increase. If it makes news for lack of integrity again, it will be detrimental to them."

Lin Wei's eyes widened . Flashing lightly, he said with a smile: "Then my luck seems to be good."

"Indeed," Shi Jingchen sat on the sofa, his long legs elegantly crossed, and his black suit jacket open, making his whole person more elegant, "If you had directly If they come to ask for money, most of them won't accept it. When dealing with these ghosts, you must not show any cowardice and be arrogant so that they don't dare to act rashly. What these people are best at is using their power to overwhelm others."

Lin Wei patted her chest. She said happily: "I'm new here, so naturally I don't dare. Fortunately, I have brother Jingchen."

If Sun Muyin and Song Ye had seen her and Shi Jingchen's state, it would be easy to tell that she was faking.

But Shi Jingchen didn't feel at all that this was Tangtang's original appearance, timid and weak, full of admiration. When they reunited after a long absence, Tangtang's longing for and attachment to him deepened.

The two chatted for a while, and Shi Jingchen showed concern for Lin Wei's family again. He knew that she was going to attend the University of Hong Kong, and he even offered to take the time to give her extra classes.

After a long time, the talent of Fusheng came belatedly, and the person who came was a British steward.

The other party's eyes were scornful, with a hint of impatience: "Sir, what's the matter? We're very busy. Please hurry up and don't waste our time."

Shi Jingchen, however, was even more arrogant than him. He didn't get up at all, but went directly to the reception desk. The ticket was pushed across the table: "This is the promissory note issued by your Fu Sheng Yang Company, right? We need to cash it now, please prepare cash for us."

The promissory note is different from the money order. There are only the drawer and the payee. If If there is no payee written on it, then the holder of the note, who is now Lin Wei, is the payee. The promissory note is payable to Fu Sheng Foreign Company, so they can pay 100,000 pounds according to the amount on the note.

100,000 pounds is not a small amount now, let alone the time when the promissory note was issued.

The other party only glanced at it, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

"Wait a minute, I need to take it over to take a look."

The British steward immediately changed his attitude, but raised his hand to take away the cashier's check, but Shi Jingchen pressed it down with his finger: "This is not good, shouldn't the cashier's check be two?" Are you done?"

Shi Jingchen's unreasonableness made the British steward very angry: "Sir, we need to verify it."

Shi Jingchen moved the cashier's note in front of him: "Then verify it here. I didn't stop you or change places. The meaning."

Then he moved his hands, hugged his chest, looked at the other party calmly, and said, "Please,

sir!"

"Why don't you go get the stub?" He suddenly said, "The easiest way is to find out the stub when the cashier's check was issued, if you don't want to default on the bill."

Ten minutes later -

on the fifteenth floor of Fusheng Building, the secretary sent an old stub of the cashier's check to the fee. In front of Reed Ron.

The signature requested from the drawer reads Old President Angus. Ron's name, the date of issuance is July 1942, and the Remake (remarks) says thank you to Ms. Lin Heying for her help to Fusheng Matheson.

Freeman didn't know what Mr. Ron was insisting on. 100,000 pounds was just a small amount. As the first of the four major foreign banks, Fusheng controlled three listed companies, including real estate, hotels, shipping, department stores, freight terminals, trams, For items such as catering, 100,000 pounds was not worthy of his attention at all, but he did not expect that the secretary would notify Mr. Ron when they retrieved the stubs.

"They have appraisal certificates issued by two banks. The person who withdrew the money is said to be Lin Heying's granddaughter, and the amount is only 100,000 pounds. We haven't cleaned up Bernal's mess yet, and we can't have any more negative news. If it backfires and aggravates anti-British sentiment, That is definitely something no one wants to see, and the Governor of Hong Kong will also be held accountable." Freeman gave his own advice.

The cashier's check of 100,000 was refused payment, which would be big news wherever it goes.

Ron closed his eyes and took a deep breath, then raised his head, looked at Freeman and said slowly: "The cashier's note is fake."

"Sir, our people have seen it and are sure it is real -"

Bang -

Ron His hand slammed on the table: "The bank is not qualified to authenticate the bill we issued. This cashier's check does not exist at all. They forged the bill!"

"Mr. Ron-" Freeman looked at it in shock. The other party lit the ticket stub with a lighter.

Ron threw the burning stub into the ashtray and said: "Lin Heying and her descendants cannot get any penny in Fusheng. You must let them know that they are afraid and dare not show up in Fusheng again. Understand What do you mean?"

Freeman calmed down and said, "I... know what to do, sir."

...

Shi Jingchen checked his watch several times, and the waiting time was a little too long.

Lin Wei looked in the direction of the stairs and said, "Will we not get the money?"

"No, they-"

Before Shi Jingchen finished his words of comfort, he saw a group of people appearing at the stairs, and someone pointed Looking in their direction and saying something, these people were wearing uniform black uniforms and were tall. They were obviously Fusheng's security personnel.

Lin Wei thought that she might not get the money, but she didn't expect that it would be this battle.

"Please hand over the bills, and we will give up on your responsibility for forging bills and deliberately committing fraud, otherwise we will send you to the police station." Six tall men surrounded the two of them.

"Haha——" Shi Jingchen laughed angrily. He put one hand on his waist and waved the hem of his suit behind him. "Are you planning to rob him? Are you not even pretending to be pretending?"

Free was standing at the front. Man said: "Please allow me to warn you, this is your last chance, otherwise you will not want to see the next scene. You know that person is the best at making lies. I believe the police station will believe my testimony. You can't ask for money." "You intend to hurt people and violently injure our security personnel. What awaits you is jail time and high medical compensation."

Freeman spoke in Chinese. Although it was not standard, the threat was clear and intimidating. The meaning is expressed very fluently.

Shi Jingchen's face darkened, and there was anger in his eyebrows: "Are you threatening us or trying to anger us? I hope you British people know that not all Chinese will be intimidated by you. I am from Xiangjiang University Teacher, my father is an elected member of the Xiangjiang Council. If something happens to me here, I will not disappear quietly like ordinary people."

As he spoke, he comforted Lin Wei behind him in a low voice: "Don't be afraid, no. Something will happen."

"Well, I'm not afraid as long as you are here." This is the truth. Lin Wei only let him accompany her on this trip because of her special status at this moment.

The other party's expression changed when he heard about elected members. Elected members are nothing, but the Star Ferry incident was caused by elected members.

"If you hand over the promissory note, we can let you go. This is your last chance."

Shi Jingchen sneered: "What are you dreaming about?" Taking off his gentle coat, Shi Jingchen showed his very persistent and tough side.

The two sides are still negotiating.

Lin Wei looked beyond the crowd and unconsciously looked at the entrance leading upstairs, with a trace of doubt on her face.

This result was something she didn't expect. She was fully prepared, but could she still refuse to pay?

What are they "afraid" of?
