Chapter 73 Meeting Wu Chenghao Again
On the first day, we flew directly to the capital of Country D. After getting off the plane, the travel agency arranged a bus to take everyone directly from the airport to a local five-star hotel. After a simple meal at the hotel that night, everyone went back to their rooms to rest and adjust to the jet lag. The activities started the next day after dinner at the hotel buffet restaurant.
This time, the itinerary would begin in Country D, where Zhao Xingxing had studied and worked, giving her greater confidence in her overall planning. She would spend two days exploring two cities in Country D, then fly to Country Y for a three-day stay, followed by two and a half days each in Country F and Country X. Finally, she would fly back to China from Country X.
Travel agencies not only have to arrange transportation for all itineraries, book hotels and meals, and arrange tickets and itineraries for regular tourist attractions, but they are also responsible for confirming whether special projects are available.
For example, if some well-known luxury homes and apartments are still for sale, you can naturally visit them. However, if they are already fully occupied and under closed management, how can you contact them to visit them? This requires a certain level of tact. Often, they have to rely on the well-known foreign consulting agencies and the design company in Country D that they have previously hired to make connections.
These consulting and design agencies are basically involved in these new high-end apartment projects in Europe, and industry contacts and arrangements have been made in advance.
Basically, as long as you pay the money and follow the visiting rules, it is completely possible to open the final visiting path. The difference is that some luxury houses are very strictly managed and the number of people allowed in is limited. Not everyone can visit. At that time, you have to select a few key people to observe according to the number limit.
Lin Ruoyan brought her son along for a trip, and when the luxury property tours ran out of spots, she voluntarily declined. However, she was a genuinely wealthy woman, fully capable of paying outright for these luxury properties abroad, so everything from project tour appointments to capital verification was approved. If she posed as a client, the professional consultants she hired would be the ones to tour the property on her behalf, and the luxury property salesperson would naturally be warmly received.
After all, how could a real boss buy a house and come to see it in person for the first time? It is common sense to arrange for a professional team to investigate and listen to the report before deciding whether to come in person.
So, compared to the other employees' packed schedules, Lin Ruoyan only had to pick out the attractions and activities that interested her and her son. Once she arrived, she didn't join the others. After all, she had a small child with her, and she wasn't there to complete the inspection. She simply asked the travel agency to provide her with a luxury car, a tour guide, and a bodyguard/driver.
Lin Ruxu specifically emphasized the addition of a bodyguard and driver. They hired a well-known European security company with chain operations throughout Europe. During this trip, Lin Ruoyan and her son were given special people to receive them in every country and city they visited to ensure their safety.
Lin Ruoyan only focused on a few iconic luxury housing projects that interested her, and did not waste her energy on other things. She changed her itinerary to include some libraries and museums to cater to Lin Mengxi's needs.
Without the boss accompanying them, the psychological pressure on the company's employees during the inspection and research was suddenly reduced by half. During the visit, they all followed the manual prepared in advance, carefully read the contents for their professional responsibility, and asked the project staff if they did not understand. They were not afraid of being disliked by the boss for their ignorance.
Lin Ruoyan was even more relaxed. Lin Mengxi spoke more English than she did, and she had a dedicated tour guide and bodyguard. She didn't have to speak a word or deal with any trivial matters herself, leaving it all to those two. She was only responsible for eating, drinking, and having fun, and her face was visibly plump.
Compared with the real world, when she was studying, she used her winter and summer vacations to travel around Europe on a budget, or accompanied her boss on a business trip to a certain city after work, but now it is a pure enjoyment.
When she was young and traveling on a budget, she'd almost spent every night on the train or bus. This saved her money on accommodations and was cheaper than flying. She'd stay in a small hotel every few days, shower, and eat at a supermarket, buying discounted food nearing its expiration date. She'd make her own sandwiches from the most ordinary sliced bread, a bag of unidentified raw vegetables, some butter or lunch meat, and eat only once or twice a day, even when camped out. She couldn't afford proper restaurants, so when she needed a hot meal, she'd go to a cheap fast-food joint for a cup of coffee, a hot dog, or a hamburger, and a bottle of hot water.
Once I had some financial resources at work, I'd be constantly busy running around for my boss on official business trips, often leading to sleepless nights. On my own vacations, if I could afford a trip, I'd plan it meticulously, arranging my own itinerary, flights, hotels, and travel arrangements, rather than spending the extra money on a travel agency.
Now, Lin Ruoyan doesn't have to think about it anymore. She just needs to hold her son's hand the whole time and doesn't have to worry about anything. Occasionally, if he is a little willful and suddenly changes the itinerary or goes to a luxury store, there is a dedicated person and car to arrange everything properly and comfortably immediately.
If you have money, you can do whatever you want.
On the night before leaving Country D, in the hotel lobby, as luck would have it, Lin Ruoyan came back with her son and met Wu Chenghao.
Ever since Lin Ruoyan gave Wu Chenghao a good guy card at the charity reception on the first day she transmigrated into the book, she hasn't bothered to contact this person again.
Wu Chenghao's reason also convinced him not to waste time pursuing the real daughter of the Lin family. However, he was deeply impressed by such a beautiful and intelligent woman. If he suddenly saw her in a hotel abroad, he would definitely not ignore her.
Lin Ruoyan also greeted him politely. Seeing that there were a few foreigners beside him, who seemed to be discussing business, she didn't want to disturb their normal work.
However, among those foreigners there were both men and women. One of them was a blonde lady who particularly liked children and greeted Lin Mengxi very friendly in English.
Lin Mengxi also replied with a greeting in English. In the eyes of foreigners, Asian faces often look much younger than their actual age. Lin Mengxi, already six years old, was short and thin, making her look even younger. People would believe she was only four or five years old.
At this time, he spoke fluent English, which instantly attracted the attention of these foreigners.
The blonde woman chatted a few more sentences in English, and Lin Mengxi handled it with ease, displaying the diplomatic demeanor of Yu Youyu, quoting famous English sayings and phrases without a hint of stage fright. The key point was that he had read a number of original English works, including literature, philosophy, and science, and he jumped the topic from elementary to advanced topics.
Lin Ruoyan didn't understand anything at all, and even Wu Chenghao couldn't get a word in.
Wu Chenghao asked Lin Ruoyan with admiration: "Did your son grow up abroad?"
After asking this question, Wu Chenghao remembered what he had heard at the cocktail party: Lin Ruoyan had been living in a small southern town with her son. How could the child speak English as well as his native language?
Lin Ruoyan said modestly, "Really not. After returning to Beijing, an elder taught him some English, and he casually read a few original English books on his own."
At most, he'd only studied English for two or three months, yet he could hold a conversation with a foreigner. What kind of divine teacher could have taught him this? Even with such a teacher, the child would need to have a natural talent for the language and be willing to learn. Without a large vocabulary, how could he possibly read an original book? Wu Chenghao, a man who had studied abroad and seen the world, understood the difference between ordinary people and geniuses. Therefore, he was certain that Lin Ruoyan's son was a genius.
