Chapter 13 Chapter 13 Help me tie my tie (bug catching)
Yang Minghui has been working for Cheng Wanting for more than ten years. Not only did he have his life saved, but he also transformed himself from a small gangster in the slums into the secretary of a wealthy family in Hong Kong. Not only does he earn $200,000 a year, but when he got married last year, the eldest master also gave him a new house of 100 square meters.
Therefore, Yang Minghui is loyal and thinks he understands the young master. However, recently, many of the young master's words and deeds have left him confused, and he has difficulty finding the answer after thinking hard.
For example, now.
Early in the morning, after attending several meetings in the company, the young master went to the Mandarin Hotel to have lunch with Director Yang of HSBC. During the lunch, the two sides reached a consensus on the equity of Crescent Bay.
According to the eldest young master's previous habit, he would go back to the company to continue working after dinner, but this time it was different. The eldest young master actually asked the driver to go to Zhonghua Book Company instead.
The driver stayed in the car and kept looking at the young master who was choosing books in the bookstore, while Secretary Yang was puzzled at a close distance, seeing that the young master who made a fortune every day and never wasted time was actually choosing children's literacy books and elementary school textbooks!
Especially when choosing, I am extra careful! Where can I seek justice?
If Secretary Yang didn't know that the young master was unmarried and never had a woman around him, he would even suspect that the young master had secretly had a child.
"Take these and pay." Before Secretary Yang could figure it out, Cheng Wanting had already picked out more than ten books and handed them over. Secretary Yang did not delay and quickly paid for them.
When the two of them got back into the car, Secretary Yang couldn't help but cast a curious gaze on the pile of books: "Master, are these books... bought for Wenwen?"
Wenwen is the youngest daughter of Cheng Zhihao, the second son of the Cheng family. She is only two years old this year and has to call the eldest son "uncle".
Cheng Wanting glanced at Yang Minghui calmly, which made him silent instantly: "Let's go to the villa halfway up the mountain."
Secretary Yang:?
It's a weekday afternoon, young master, and you're skipping work? This is not your usual style!
As the car slowly drove onto the winding mountain road, Yang Minghui suddenly thought of something. Miss Lin who lived in the villa halfway up the mountain was learning Cantonese recently!
As if he had discovered some huge secret, Yang Minghui didn't dare to say a word along the way, his head was buzzing.
However, the eldest young master stopped his work and came back specially, thinking that Miss Lin, who should be in the villa, was not there.
Mrs. Hua reported Miss Lin's whereabouts: "Miss Lin went out, saying she was meeting with friends... Miss Lin likes to go out and play. Young people can't always stay in the house... Yes, she goes out every day. I heard that Miss Lin met a doctor who is a Cantonese teacher. He is a very good Cantonese teacher. Miss Lin also said that the doctor is handsome, humorous and very capable in class..."
When Yang Minghui heard the last sentence, his eyelids jumped. He did not dare to look back at the young master's expression. He just turned his back to him and said on his own initiative: "Young master, I will send someone to check where Miss Lin is now."
++++
Lin Keying, who is about to return to the mainland, has little time left to learn Cantonese. At this moment, she is walking on the streets of Hong Kong, buying some food and drinks while practicing the language.
A while ago, she asked Secretary Yang and learned that there were few cargo ship services from the port city to the mainland.
In the past two years, after the reform and opening up of the mainland, exchanges with Hong Kong City have gradually resumed, and this city has become an important transportation hub, marking the rise of the times. After all, a cargo trip basically takes one or two months of sailing on the sea. Even the largest freight companies in the port city have to arrange the rounds reasonably, focusing on transporting goods for export and carrying additional passengers.
Of course, there are also ships that depart for the mainland almost every few days, but they are basically used to transport illegal immigrants. The ships are small and dilapidated, and are irregular in every way. If you are not careful, you may die on the ship, so the risk is extremely high.
Lin Keying cherishes her life, so she naturally won't take risks.
Lin Keying would be boarding a ship back to the mainland in five days.
More than twenty sets of clothes in the closet were neatly put away, leaving only the clothes that needed to be changed in the next few days.
When he came, he only had a linen bag containing two patched old clothes, but now he is preparing to leave with a lot of gains.
In addition, Lin Keying purchased a batch of clothes and put them in Sister He's house. When she returns to the mainland and settles down, she will ask Sister He to pack the clothes and send them to her. Later, she will slowly hire people to do business. In her imagination, the future is bright.
The only depressing thing is that her fiancé has been acting like crazy recently and has been going back to the villa halfway up the mountain every night. As a result, she has no choice but to rush back before he gets off work and arrives at the villa, always playing the role of the child bride who is madly in love with her fiancé.
Lin Keying's free and easy days were greatly restricted.
Fortunately, there was no one in charge during the day, so Lin Keying could travel freely in the port city, just remembering to avoid places where gangs were prevalent.
Tingting returned to school after her illness. After school, she would take Lin Keying to the area around the school to eat egg waffles and drink sweet soup, acting like a wealthy person who was going to treat everyone.
Even Dr. Huo would show up from time to time, and whenever asked, he would change shifts to take a break. He would follow the high school students and Lin Keying through the streets and alleys, especially to introduce the customs and culture of the port city to Lin Keying.
Tingting gossiped secretly: "Sister Keying, does Brother Xiao Huo want to date you?"
Lin Keying glanced at the girl who had just entered the first year of high school and thought, forget it, girls at this age love gossip.
She whispered, "That's not true. Children shouldn't be too nosy."
Tingting felt that she had watched so many TV dramas and understood a lot about them, so it was impossible for her to have made a mistake.
At least Brother Xiao Huo is definitely pursuing Sister Keying.
The three of them met Aqiang, who was two grades senior to them, at the school gate. Lin Keying took a bite of honey-glazed barbecued pork rice and a sip of silk stocking milk tea, and her appetite was satisfied.
Before returning to her villa in Mid-Levels, Lin Keying went to a clothing wholesale stall and picked out a few fashionable clothes, as well as some earrings and necklaces of the same style as those worn by movie actresses. Before leaving, Lin Keying, a worker who was good at bargaining, had a good chat with the boss and was given a gift - a dark red striped tie.
The boss looked gossipy and said, "Pretty girl, you can give it to your boyfriend as a gift."
Lin Keying looked at him and pointedly glanced at Dr. Huo who offered to help carry things: "..."
How dare I give this to you! Giving a tie to a man is so ambiguous.
In the end, Lin Keying put the gift tie into her pile of clothes. Who says women can’t wear ties? She can wear one herself!
After a day of eating, drinking and having fun, Lin Keying returned to her villa mid-levels around seven in the evening. According to her fiancé's workaholic habit, it would be almost nine or even ten o'clock when she got back to the villa. She still had time to go back and wait, and continue to play the role of a child bride who deeply loved her fiancé.
However, as soon as they returned to the villa today, Ah Mei came over, gesturing with her hands and whispering to Lin Keying in slow Cantonese: "Miss Lin, the eldest master came back this afternoon and asked where you went."
Lin Keying: “…!”
My fiancé doesn't work hard, so why does he rush home on a nice weekday afternoon?
When she entered the villa, Lin Keying saw a man as tall as a mountain sitting on the sofa in the living room.
There was no light in the room, and Cheng Wanting was hidden in the darkness with an unclear expression.
"You seem happy to go out for fun every day." The man's voice was low and his emotions could not be discerned.
"Master." Lin Keying's mind worked quickly, and she said, "Why did you come back so early today? I went out for a walk and bought you... a tie."
Lin Keying suddenly remembered the cheap tie that the food stall owner had given her as a gift! He hurriedly found it from the pile of clothes.
"It's just that this thing is worthless, and I really can't give it away." Lin Keying glanced at her fiancée's exquisitely crafted suit, which was probably all hand-made and customized, and was indeed incompatible with the tie sold at a street stall.
But it doesn’t matter. My fiancé will definitely not accept it. I just need to find an excuse to go out and get away with it.
Cheng Wanting thought of returning to the villa early this afternoon, but heard that Lin Keying was out. After Yang Minghui investigated, he finally found her whereabouts at St. Paul's School.
He raised his eyebrows slightly. "Really? Together with the doctors from Queen Mary Hospital?"
Lin Keying's mind was filled with alarm bells, and she brainstormed, "I want to buy you a tie, so I naturally need to find a male friend to help me. I met with Dr. Xiao Huo today to ask him how to choose a good tie for men."
As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Keying saw the man on the sofa raise his eyes in the light moonlight, concentrating on taking in his own reflection, and his expression softened a little.
"It would be great." Cheng Wanting's Adam's apple rolled, and he stood up and went upstairs, saying only, "The book on the table is for you, study hard."
Lin Keying had no time to deal with her moody fiancé. She was just shocked by the mountain of study materials on the coffee table.
I was just casually talking about learning Cantonese. I'll be leaving in a few days, so why are you looking for so many books?
There are even elementary school textbooks!
It has been too long since Lin Keying started studying for the college entrance examination, and even her college days have become a blur. Now she just feels a headache when she sees so much information.
But at around nine o'clock that night, when Lin Keying did not take her fiancé's words to heart and was still preparing to read the newspaper filled with Hong Kong gossip and entertainment, there was a sudden knock on the door.
Lin Keying hurriedly hid the newspaper with the explosive headline under her pillow, picked up the textbook on the table and pretended to speak: "Come in."
"Ms. Lin."
When she heard it was Ah Mei's voice, Lin Keying breathed a sigh of relief and her tense back relaxed. However, Ah Mei's second half of the sentence made Lin Keying's heart rise again.
"The eldest master asked you to take the book to the study upstairs."
Lin Keying:?
......
I've heard that my fiancé's study is a forbidden area. After all, it involves the business secrets of the wealthy family. Isn't it a secret worth tens of millions or hundreds of millions of dollars?
Lin Keying stood at the door of the study on the second floor, feeling a little confused.
What's the attitude of my fiancé? Why did he let me into the study?
He knocked on the door, and Lin Keying responded with a faint "Come in".
Lin Keying gently pushed open the half-open door, and the spacious and simple study was in full view.
The decoration is almost minimalist, with thick dark grey carpet on the floor, as if walking on clouds, and in the middle are mahogany sofas and coffee tables, with deep and rich colors.
The carpet extends all the way to the wall, and a vast array of books are displayed on the glass bookshelf that stretches from floor to ceiling.
The mahogany desk is rectangular in shape, with natural and smooth wood grain and deep color, and it glows faintly under the light of incandescent lamps.
The fiancé was sitting in front of the mahogany table, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on his nose, a heavy suit hanging on a mahogany hanger, and only a white shirt, exuding a somewhat abstinent air.
Lin Keying admired her fiancé for a second and then came to her senses in an instant.
The fiancé looked up at her and said with his thin lips: "Have you read a book?"
Lin Keying: "..."
Are you checking your homework here?
No matter how nervous she was, Lin Keying would never say that she was reading the Hong Kong gossip newspaper: "Yes, I am studying very hard."
Her fiancé took the opportunity to test her on her studies as she spoke hard. Lin Keying stumbled as she spoke to him, and it took her a while before she found a chance to escape from the study.
Phew, I don’t know what’s wrong with my fiancé, he suddenly has to ask himself questions!
After a whole day of torment, especially being "interrogated" and forced to study at night, Lin Keying just felt tired. After washing up, she went back to her room and slept soundly.
But early the next morning, there was a knock on the door, the crisp and disturbing sound woke Lin Keying up from her sleep.
"Who is it?" Lin Keying rubbed her sleepy eyes and without waiting for an answer, she could only struggle to get up.
Unexpectedly, when the door opened, a man with a straight figure was standing outside.
He was tall and slender like a majestic mountain, blocking out the sun in an instant. Only the white shirt on his body made him look somewhat elegant, suppressing his fierce aura.
The wall clock in the living room ticked at exactly eight o'clock. Lin Keying narrowed her eyes, wondering why her fiancé appeared at her door so early in the morning.
"Help me tie my tie." The man said calmly.
Lin Keying was a head shorter than her fiancé. At the moment, she was staring blankly at the man's empty neck, where there was indeed a missing exquisitely crafted and expensive tie.
But, the tie I own is a cheap item that only costs two dollars!
