Chapter 236 Many things are unpredictable
Lin Ruoyan used some skills to chat with people like Thomas.
Besides chatting about oil-rich countries, we mentioned the 150 million yuan luxury homes in Shanghai. We asked Thomas if he could help European clients buy luxury castles in Shanghai. If the referral was successful and a purchase agreement was signed, Thomas would receive a commission.
Thomas took a look at the introduction materials in Lin Ruoyan's hand, and heard the background of the owner who had already signed the contract. His eyes lit up and he nodded hurriedly, saying that he could indeed recommend it to an acquaintance of European aristocrats who met the requirements.
Lin Ruoyan couldn't break into this circle, nor did she want to. She could just use Thomas's help. She had previously considered using Thomas as a channel to expand the Castle Mansion clientele, originally planning to send him an invitation after the model apartment officially opened. Now that they'd met on the plane, it saved her a lot of trouble.
Even after all this conversation, Lin Ruoyan still felt exhausted. The doctor had said that even though the toxins had been cleared, it would take time for her body's functions to recover. The long journey had left her sleepy, and it had also made her realize that her youth would fade with age.
The life in the book is so real.
Thomas was not young anymore and fell asleep wrapped in a blanket earlier than Lin Ruoyan.
After waking up, the first-class passengers got off the plane first. Mr. Zheng arranged for his confidants to pick them up at the airport. Thomas also knew Mr. Zheng and suggested that he visit him if he had the chance. Then they parted ways here.
Except for the people sent by Mr. Zheng, the others were bodyguards arranged by Lin Ruxu early in the morning.
In fact, Lin Ruoyan felt that Lu Wei was enough. Later, she thought that having more bodyguards could share Lu Wei's work, allowing Lu Wei to relax occasionally and be like an ordinary tourist out for fun, which would be pretty good.
After checking into the hotel that night, Lu Wei whispered to Lin Ruoyan, "I met someone I know on the plane."
Lin Ruoyan thought she was talking about Thomas in first class, so she explained a few words about the International Education Group. Unexpectedly, Lu Wei said, "I saw him in economy class. He was in disguise and was secretly watching you."
No need to ask, that he must be Lu Fangyuan.
"Is he worried about me?"
"Theoretically, it should be." Lu Wei sighed and said softly, "I think he has always had you in his heart."
Lin Ruoyan did not intend to continue this topic. If she showed any ambiguity or hesitation, and if the other party really had any ulterior motives, it would actually lead to a series of consequences that she could not control.
She didn't want to cause herself such trouble. So she focused her energy completely on the 999-year land use and chatted with the receptionist sent by Mr. Zheng.
This man, Ling Sida, has a completely Chinese face, but was born in Singapore. He joined Mr. Zheng's retail company very early and is now the head of "Fengjiang".
Lin Ruoyan felt that she and Ling Sida got along well, and everything went smoothly. Although he didn't speak standard Mandarin, he was very considerate and thoughtful. This was their first meeting, and it felt like they had known each other for a long time. They even had similar tastes in food.
This is a bit unbelievable.
For two people who obviously have completely different living environments, unless the other party is deliberately catering to her preferences, it can only be described as fate.
After looking at the land, Ling Sida checked into the luxurious InterContinental Hotel on S Island. He did not stay too long and was very polite, so he left at the appointed time. He did not talk about anything other than business, and only agreed to meet the next day to check out the surrounding competing projects.
In the evening, Lin Ruoyan invited Lu Wei to have supper together in the living room of her room.
Compared to other women who value their figure, Lu Wei was easily led astray by Lin Ruoyan and ate as much as she could when she saw delicious food. During the day, Lu Wei was diligently carrying out her protection mission and her meals were usually rushed. Lin Ruoyan felt sorry for her and ordered the hotel's special dishes for her in the evening as a late-night snack.
Lin Ruoyan sat on the sofa and ate a little, then didn't dare eat any more. She kept her mind active, pondering Ling Sida, whom she had just met today. This man, who didn't appear in the original novel, was so attentive to her, was it just to make the cooperation smoother?
Lu Wei noticed that Lin Ruoyan was worried and asked bluntly, "Boss Lin, do you like Boss Ling's type? He's mature, steady, gentle and considerate. At first glance, he's not particularly handsome, and his skin is a bit dark, but he's actually quite attractive. He's in his thirties and has a successful career. He gets along well with you on the project. Will things develop further?"
Lin Ruoyan laughed and said, "I was wondering why the other party was trying to please me like that? Could it be that they wanted to take away some of the shares that Mr. Zheng and I had agreed on?"
Lu Wei said, "Couldn't it be that he's attracted by Ms. Lin's intelligence and beauty, and truly likes you and wants to pursue you?"
Lin Ruoyan didn't believe in love at first sight. No matter how close she was to Old Man Zheng, he wasn't her biological father. He and she had their own interests to contend with. So, as a qualified regional manager, Ling Sida might just be playing the emotional card, trying to disrupt her rhythm and distract her.
Many people in the book's world believe that women are emotional, especially when they are in love, which makes it difficult for them to make accurate judgments and choices. Lin Ruoyan does not intend to personally test this claim.
Ling Sida had acted very rationally when they parted tonight, and Lin Ruoyan felt that he was a calm person who knew how to handle things. Perhaps he was taking things step by step, or perhaps he had tested her, but she ignored him, and he had withdrawn his tentacles.
At this time, Lu Wei's mobile phone suddenly received a text message from a stranger, prompting her to check her email.
In the era of the book, mobile Internet access was not popular. When most people went abroad, their mobile phones only used roaming, which could only make calls and send and receive text messages. As for Internet access, everyone still had to bring their own laptops and use the hotel's network or the hotel's business center computer.
Lu Wei received double salary and also carried a laptop so that she could act as an assistant.
After the laptop was connected to the Internet, it received an anonymous email. It was a large compressed package. When it was opened, it contained all the past deeds of Ling Sida, which consisted of more than ten pages of information with pictures and texts.
It was as if someone could predict in advance that Lin Ruoyan would investigate Ling Sida, so he prepared a bunch of data that was difficult for ordinary people to find and sent it to her in time.
However, Lin Ruoyan still assigned tasks to her subordinates in Beijing, asking them to investigate the business controlled by Ling Sida and his character through other channels. While waiting for the reply from the other side, she also wanted to take a look at the information sent by the anonymous person in advance.
"Was it sent by that person?" Lin Ruoyan asked casually.
That person has become a nickname specifically referring to Lu Fangyuan.
Lu Wei said, "He might have asked other professionals to help investigate and then pass it on to me. I don't think he was in Singapore for vacation, but perhaps for other tasks, and it was just a coincidence that a plane ran into us."
"So is there something wrong with Lingsida's data?"
"Besides being divorced and childless, nothing else is noticeable. It's like he's been meticulously polished." Lu Wei is different from ordinary assistants. Her perspective is honed from analyzing criminals, and she isn't fooled by superficially impressive resumes. "I think Ling Sida's flawless resume must be something special. At the very least, it proves that the Lion City company he controls has strong public relations skills, leaving no negative information behind."
Lin Ruoyan seemed to understand something and asked, "Then what is the relationship between him and Mr. Zheng?"
