Chapter 23 Chapter 23 It seems like it has been stripped clean...
The shallow cut left a fleeting trace of blood, and the wound had already been treated. Lin Keying had not taken it seriously, and had even forgotten about it. But at this moment, she was stunned by the man's actions.
The fiancé kissed his finger!
The tips of Bo Liang's fingers gradually became warm, and the rising temperature almost burned her to the point of melting her, drowning out all the complaints she was about to express.
Lin Keying could hardly feel anything in her fingers. There was only a jolt of stimulation like an electric current that quickly spread from her fingertips to her entire body, making her breathing unstable and her heartbeat quicken.
I don’t know how long it took, but the man in front of me slowly raised his head and looked straight at me. His eyes were as black as ink jade and as deep as a pool of water that could drown a person.
Lin Keying slowly moved her right index finger, which seemed to be stained with the man's scent, and felt hot and tingling, and she unconsciously retracted her hand.
The employees of Huanyu Building have left work one after another. There is silence outside the general manager's office, except for the two people inside who are looking at each other silently.
Cheng Wanting has a handsome appearance, but his eyes at this moment are too aggressive, like a hunter staring at his prey, as if he was determined to take over Kowloon Whampoa at the negotiation table, so decisive and ruthless.
Lin Keying could hardly bear such a look. The man stared at her motionlessly. It seemed that she was naked at this moment, with nowhere to hide. She was seen clearly by everyone, without reservation, and could not hide any identity or secrets.
Her legs felt weak and she could barely stand.
The action of taking half a step back happened almost unconsciously. Lin Keying supported her right hand on the desk and accidentally knocked over the documents and pens on the table. The objects fell to the ground with a dull sound, which instantly woke up the panicked woman.
"I..." Lin Keying instinctively sensed the danger and turned away, "I'll go back first."
No longer caring about the reaction of the man behind her, Lin Keying hurriedly fled the closed office. Only after she got into the exclusive elevator and was in a closed and safe private space did she breathe a sigh of relief.
It was also at this moment that Lin Keying realized that her cheeks were flushed and hot. The metal wall of the elevator reflected the figure of a woman with a rosy face, as beautiful as a peach blossom.
After taking a taxi back to the villa halfway up the mountain, Lin Keying stayed in the room to rest. I experienced too much on this day, the race against time to fight for Wharf, a man sucking his finger in the office... and the aggressive look of the man at the end...
Lin Keying comforted herself that after all, she was an impostor. The illusion that she was about to be stripped clean and naked all came from the guilty feeling of pretending to be an impostor after traveling through time.
That night, the lights in the villa halfway up the mountain were turned off early, and Cheng Wanting did not return to the villa until almost dawn.
Uncle Zhong and Mrs. Hua saw that the young master looked like he had not rested all night, so they hurried forward to show concern.
Cheng Wanting was in good spirits, and was only concerned: "Has Miss Lin woken up?"
Mrs. Hua reported while preparing breakfast for the young master: "No, do you want to wake Miss Lin up?"
"No need." Cheng Wanting walked into the living room and casually hung his suit on the hanger. "Let her have a good rest."
......
Lin Keying slept well all night and when she woke up it was already noon.
Her stomach growled in protest, so Lin Keying changed her clothes and got up to wash up. She happened to catch the seafood pot that Mrs. Hua had stewed coming out of the pot. The aroma of the soup was so fragrant that Lin Keying took a deep breath.
"Miss Lin, the eldest young master is waiting for you to have dinner together." Mrs. Hua and two servants were busy serving the dishes. She asked Lin Keying to come and sit down after washing up, and she went to the study on the second floor and knocked on the door.
Lin Keying's heart skipped a beat. Why was her fiancé at home at this time?
......
Lin Keying and her fiancé sat sideways at the rectangular dining table. As soon as she saw him, Lin Keying felt the fingers of her right hand itchy, as if the man's warmth and breath were still lingering on them.
She retracted her hand and buried her head in eating.
The TV in the living room was broadcasting the news, with detailed local coverage of yesterday's battle for the Wharf.
Lin Keying listened for a while with her ears pricked up. She originally thought that she was deeply involved in a multi-billion-dollar project after all, but there was not a single word about her in the news.
There wasn't even an ambiguous word like "secretary".
She raised her eyelids to glance at the man who was having dinner and glared at him secretly.
Cheng Wanting seemed to have eyes on his head, and explained calmly: "Director Wan is deeply involved with the gang, it's a good thing that you don't show up and don't appear in the newspapers."
Of course, there is another reason that Cheng Wanting keeps in his heart.
Lin Keying put down her chopsticks. She understood what he meant and could accept it.
However, her fiancé did not appear on TV. Instead, the vice president of Huanyu Group came out to be interviewed. She looked at the man curiously: "Could it be that you don't appear on TV either?"
"Yeah." Cheng Wanting said as a matter of course, "I never show up. My photo will not appear on any TV program or newspaper or magazine in Hong Kong."
Lin Keying curled her lips and murmured softly: "You are quite low-key."
After lunch, Cheng Wanting invited Lin Keying before going out: "I want to discuss the details of the stock transfer with Mr. Guo. Do you want to come with me?"
After all, it was Lin Keying who discovered that Guo Changda was right beside her and arranged for the two to have a two-minute phone call. It was with the help of this two-minute phone call that Cheng Wanting successfully persuaded Guo Changda to sell his shares.
Lin Keying shook her head repeatedly: "I won't go, you guys talk."
After what happened yesterday, Lin Keying thought of her fiancé’s extremely aggressive look and didn’t want to be alone with him for the time being.
Usually they kiss proper places. Lin Keying never thought that her fiancé would kiss fingers. She wondered if he had any special fetish, which made her blush.
After everyone left, Lin Keying also went out and went to the second phase of the Mid-Levels Villa to check the progress of the renovation.
The decoration of the villa has taken shape. The white walls make the already spacious area appear even more spacious. The floor-to-ceiling windows provide an unobstructed view of the garden and swimming pool outside.
The apricot and beige furniture match the fresh style of the villa, which makes people feel good.
Lin Keying walked around the villa and wished she could move into her own new home immediately!
There are also some villas that have been put on sale in advance around the hillside villas, most of which are provided to the rich and powerful.
Recently, there are many families preparing to move into villas that have been simply maintained and finely decorated, including the one diagonally opposite Lin Keying's villa.
Lin Keying walked out of the villa and was about to go to the dessert shop. When she passed by her neighbor's house, she caught a glimpse of a mother and daughter in the villa garden. At the same time, she heard faint voices, but she couldn't make them out clearly.
"Mom, the eldest son of the Cheng family doesn't want to meet me at all, so there's no way I can marry into his family!" The young woman muttered to herself, quite impatiently.
"Li Xin, didn't mom teach you? You have to fight for a man. The eldest son of the Cheng family has one of the best family backgrounds in Hong Kong, and he is capable. Now he has even taken over the Wharf. If you marry a man like this, you will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life." The middle-aged woman was elegantly dressed and exquisitely dressed. She was teaching her daughter eloquently, "This time, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Chen family is planning for us. Do you know how much effort mom has put in? You must seize the opportunity. Get in touch with Cheng Wanting's sister Cheng Min more often, build a good relationship with him, and then take the initiative to get close to him... This time I heard an insider news that Cheng Wanting actually has a female secretary."
Jiang Lixin was very surprised: "Didn't they say that Young Master Cheng didn't like women and never had any romantic affairs? How come he has a female secretary?"
Liu Xiu'e didn't care: "Is there any man in the world who doesn't have sex? It's good that there is a woman around him, which means you have a chance to get close to him! I just don't know what kind of seductive woman that secretary is, but she has the ability to make Cheng Wanting break his principles."
Liu Xiu'e thought for a moment and made up her mind: "I will ask your aunt to arrange for you to work in Huanyu. The Chen family and the Cheng family have a close relationship, so it should be no problem to arrange someone to work there. As long as you can squeeze out that woman and become Cheng Wanting's female secretary, it will be much easier to take him down!"
Jiang Lixin was immediately excited by her mother's words: "Okay."
++++
The fake female secretary Lin Keying had no idea that the neighbor in the villa behind her was teasing her. She was currently in the dessert shop, settling this month's performance with Sister He.
Since the dessert shop opened, it has had a stable flow of customers and considerable revenue. It is often so busy that Lin Keying has asked Sister He to hire two more waiters to relieve the pressure.
During these three months, Sister He and her husband, who had a good income, had saved up 10% of the down payment for a house and were planning to buy one by the end of the year.
"That's great. You can live in your own house and take care of it however you want." Lin Keying originally wanted to let her family live in her rental house, but Sister He was devoted to her work. The public housing was closer to the dessert shop and the market where she got goods, and it was more convenient. Besides, she wanted to save money to buy a house before moving in, so she did not agree to take advantage of Lin Keying.
Sister He was cooking mango and coconut milk sago. This new product launched by the store has been very popular recently. She kept stirring it with her hands while talking to Lin Keying: "Tingting and Aqiang have never had a proper room with us. Even if they don't say it, I know that they envy their classmates who live in big houses."
Lin Keying only collected money every month and basically didn't do any work. Seeing that the dessert shop was thriving, she felt relieved: "When you move to the new house, I will give you a large appliance and let Tingting choose... By the way, where is Tingting?"
The little girl used to love going to the dessert shop during her break time, even when she was doing her homework.
When Sister He mentioned her daughter, she curved her lips: "I don't know what she's been doing lately. She pointed at the TV and said she wanted to be a singer and a movie star, and she wants to act in a movie in the future."
Hong Kong has a well-developed entertainment industry. The 1980s, 1990s and 2000s were the heyday of Hong Kong dramas, Hong Kong movies and Cantonese songs, so naturally there were many people who dreamed of becoming stars.
Lin Keying stood up and went to Sister He's public housing: "Tingting is very ambitious. If you become famous, you must leave me an autograph."
......
Although Sister He’s public housing is crowded and small, it also carries the dreams of ordinary people.
When Lin Keying arrived at the public housing estate, Tingting was reading the entertainment section of the newspaper over and over again, and she didn't even notice that Lin Keying had entered the house.
"Tingting, are you really going to be a big star?" Lin Keying picked up the little girl and asked her to accompany her to choose curtains, tablecloths and other small items for the villa.
Along the way, the little girl was obviously in high spirits. She was very excited about any topic she talked about, especially the posters of female movie stars at the entrance of the cinema, she couldn't take her eyes off them.
"What? You really want to be a movie star?" Lin Keying noticed that something was wrong with this high school student.
Tingting looked like she was about to say something, but finally was willing to share a secret with her favorite sister: "Sister Keying, I'll tell you a secret. I met a talent scout on the street last week. He told me to go to a movie and play the role of a big star in Girls' Generation. This is called part-time filming, and I can get a thousand yuan for a week of filming!"
Tingting has a pretty appearance. Although she is only sixteen years old this year, she is already a graceful and pretty girl, especially her eyebrows and eyes. She has a very lively smile. Her whole person embodies the most popular pure and innocent style in Hong Kong today.
It's not surprising that he was spotted by a scout. Lin Keying's impression of Hong Kong entertainment mostly comes from past news. This era was indeed popular with scouts. When they saw handsome men and beautiful women on the street, they would go up to them, hand out their business cards and chat with them, trying to dig out some good seedlings to enter the circle and become stars.
During the three months that Lin Keying had been in Hong Kong, she had also encountered people who tried to strike up a conversation with her on the street, but she had no interest in entering the entertainment industry and rejected them outright.
Tingting was very excited. "The talent scout's company has made several movies in the past few years, and many movie stars and singers are from their company."
Tingting mentioned the names of several movies, which Lin Keying had indeed heard of, and they were all critically and commercially successful.
The two of them selected curtains and other decorative items in the market. Lin Keying paid a deposit, wrote down the address of a villa halfway up the mountain, and asked the boss to send someone to deliver the items to the villa.
When they parted again, Lin Keying warned Tingting: "You are still in high school. If you really want to be a big star in the future, you'd better wait until you finish your studies. Especially for things like this, you have to tell your family and let them discuss and decide together."
Tingting nodded: "Sister Keying, my parents work hard selling sweet soup. I spent a lot of money on my illness before. Now I am well, and I want to help my family earn more money. Besides, I will only spend a few weekends filming, which will not affect my studies. Don't worry, I will discuss it with my family tonight, and when I become famous in the future, I will sign an autograph for you!"
The adolescent girl had a dream of becoming a movie star. Seeing her beaming with joy, Lin Keying also smiled.
Privately, Lin Keying asked Secretary Yang to check the entertainment company called Hongsheng. It turned out that the entertainment company was a formal film production company. The scout who found Tingting was indeed its employee, and the film that was about to be shot also matched.
When Sister He and her family heard about their daughter's adventure, they were surprised and couldn't help but doubt whether such a good thing could really fall from the sky.
However, my daughter Tingting has always been excellent in both character and study. This time she was eager to try it out. She repeatedly assured me that it would not affect her studies and that it would only take three weekends, or six days, to complete the shooting.
Sister He had no choice but to think that her daughter had finally recovered from her illness and did not stop her from doing something she loved doing.
Lam Keying heard that the film has already started shooting and Ting Ting will join the crew next Saturday to film related scenes.
Lin Keying never spoils the fun, so she naturally wished the little girl to become very famous in the future. She even heard that she had chosen an English stage name and had been practicing her signature recently.
But when she returned to her villa halfway up the mountain and lay on the bed at night, Lin Keying thought about Tingting having to work part-time on a film for a few days, and she always felt that something was wrong in her heart, as if some important information was floating through her mind, but it was difficult to grasp.
Lin Keying couldn't think of an answer and had no energy to worry about other things.
That night, the man who had not returned to the villa halfway up the mountain for five days suddenly came back, temporarily interrupting Lin Keying's thoughts.
Wharf Holdings changed hands, and Universal became the largest shareholder of Wharf Holdings. As the person in charge, Cheng Wanting was naturally very busy.
He had taken a break from his busy schedule today and when he entered the room he saw that the living room was empty, so he simply knocked on the door of the lighted guest room.
"Young Master, have you finished the work on Hutchison Whampoa? Why are you here so late?" Lin Keying could see the hint of fatigue between the man's brows.
Cheng Wanting has been busy lately and it is difficult for him to get away. He only said: "Mr. Guo's shares have been transferred. Huanyu has become the largest shareholder of Wharf Holdings. Director Wan of Jardine Matheson has also been transferred to the police station. However, I have just taken over Wharf Holdings. I will be very busy for a while and will not have much time to come over. You..."
"Yes, okay." Lin Keying answered decisively.
She was still thinking about Tingting's filming, trying to grasp some fleeting information. She only paid half of her attention to her fiancé's words, and her answers were casual and perfunctory.
It seemed that the book she traveled through mentioned something about a Hong Kong actress. Lin Keying gradually recalled it, and a vague image gradually appeared in her mind. She was about to remember...
Cheng Wanting lowered his eyebrows and looked at the woman in front of him. She had a frown on her face and looked unhappy. Even when she answered him, she was not as energetic as usual. It was clear that she was not very happy.
The corners of his lips curled up slightly, he stepped forward and embraced her in his arms, lowered his head and kissed her forehead, with a bit of guilt: "I really can't leave recently, wait until I'm done with this, I'll accompany you well."
Lin Keying, who was trying hard to recall the plot of the original book, said: "...?"
I didn't say I wanted you to accompany me!
Cheng Wanting only stayed in the villa halfway up the mountain for more than an hour that night. He was busy with work and had too many things to deal with.
Lin Keying absentmindedly sent the man away, and only after falling asleep did she recall the vague plot in her dream.
There was a supporting character in the original book, He Yating, a porn star from Hong Kong's third-level films, who met the original owner about thirty years later.
He Yating is exactly Tingting’s real name!
