Chapter 31 Chapter 31 (Contains 5000 nutrient solution) Tyrant...
Chen Songxian is gone.
It wasn't a peaceful death.
Yang Minghui sent Miss Lin to the eldest young master's office and then left. Who would have thought that while he was downstairs to handle work, Young Master Chen Songxian actually sneaked in in disguise.
Originally worried that Master Chen would run into Miss Lin when he came to Huanyu unexpectedly, Yang Minghui followed the instructions of the eldest master and specifically told the security guards not to let him go. But Master Chen was unwilling to give in, and actually put on a beard, wore a hat, and sneaked in in disguise.
He kept knocking on the eldest master's office door, calling for his cousin.
When Yang Minghui dragged the man away, he heard Master Chen asking in a suicidal tone, "Brother Yang, is my cousin hiding a woman?"
For a gossipy person like Chen Songxian, how could he not be excited to hear such things!
This is really like the sun rising from the west and it raining knives from the sky. My cousin actually has a woman!
"Mr. Chen!" Yang Minghui's mouth twitched, and he almost bit his tongue. Looking at the man in front of him who didn't know whether to live or die, he sighed in his heart, "Young Master doesn't have any women! You also know that Young Master is devoted to business."
"But a woman clearly came into my cousin's office this evening. She was young and beautiful." Chen Songxian tried to find out the reason for his cousin's recent changes.
He could vaguely sense that his cousin seemed to be dissatisfied with him, but he couldn't figure it out.
In the past, I was often reported by gossip media because of scandals and love affairs. My cousin usually removed the news, gave me a few words of criticism, and gave me a slight punishment. But this time was different.
My cousin was so cruel that he planned to send me to those remote places to suffer again!
Secretary Yang would never dare to let Chen Songxian know that the eldest master really has a woman, and that woman is a child bride whom you have never met.
"No, it's just representatives from other companies who came to discuss business with the young master. Besides, Mr. Chen, think carefully, does the young master look like someone who would date?"
Chen Songxian was stunned by the question: "That's definitely not the case."
Chen Songxian was helpless when he was sent away by Secretary Yang. Thinking that he was about to be sent away, he could only use his trump card - calling for help!
......
Yang Minghui finally got rid of Young Master Chen, but when he returned to the 32nd floor, he found that the door of the general manager's office was still closed, and the bright lights illuminated the dark corridor.
"Big..." Yang Minghui raised his hand and knocked on the door, preparing to go in to report the situation. He then asked the eldest young master whether he wanted to arrange a car to leave with Miss Lin, but he saw that the lights in the office suddenly went out.
Darkness fell over the room, and there was a faint sound of movement inside, yet there seemed to be no movement.
The hand that was about to knock on the door stayed in the air for a moment, and Yang Minghui finally withdrew his hand and left quietly without making any sound.
——
Nine o'clock at night, Cheng family mansion.
The head of the family, Cheng Guanjie, accompanied by his second wife Fu Yuehong, listened to his nephew Chen Songxian's complaints.
Fu Yuehong was dressed in a jeweled outfit. Her deep red silk cheongsam was elegant and luxurious. The pearl necklace around her neck was round and full, shining with a faint luster. At this moment, a look of surprise appeared on her well-maintained face: "Songxian, you said that Wan Ting seems to have a woman by his side? Is this true?"
Chen Songxian just casually complained that his cousin might have a woman. It was too much for him to live a good life with his beloved cousin but send him to Africa to live a hard life.
Unexpectedly, my uncle's second wife only heard the first half of the sentence.
Thinking of his cousin's methods, Chen Songxian pursed his lips and changed his words: "Maybe I heard it wrong."
Fu Yuehong was suspicious in her heart, but she didn't want to ask any more questions now, so she just said casually: "Wan Ting wants to send you to Africa, probably for your own good. He wants you to gain more experience and support the Chen family business in the future."
"Aunt Hong, Uncle!" Chen Songxian was so excited that he almost jumped up. "I can't stand going to Africa. Please help me and cure my cousin."
Cheng Zhihao, the second son of the second wife, yawned at the side: "Cousin Songxian, didn't you say last time that Africa is a land of outstanding people, beautiful mountains and clear waters?"
Chen Songxian glared at his second cousin and placed his hopes on his uncle: "My body will be ruined if I go to Africa for a few more months. If I really need experience, I can do it anywhere in Hong Kong. Besides, uncle, you have the final say in the Cheng family, and I can't let my cousin ride on your head."
These words really touched Cheng Guanjie's heart.
Seeing his nephew begging for mercy, Cheng Guanjie waved his hand and said, "I'll talk to your cousin for you."
As soon as Chen Songxian left, Fu Yuehong brought up Cheng Wanting's lifelong affairs: "Old man, Wanting doesn't like to come home lately. Could it be that he really has a woman outside? This is not easy. Maybe he will have to welcome someone into the house someday. However, he didn't even like the daughter of a HSBC director. Who would he like now? It must be someone with a clean family background who can help the Cheng family's business."
Cheng Guanjie's face was so dark that water could drip out of it. He called his eldest son and said in a deep voice, "How could he have a woman outside? I don't know his personality well enough."
......
Lin Keying was in her villa halfway up the mountain when she heard the phone ring at home. The eldest young master picked up the receiver and his face became increasingly worse.
Cheng Wanting's father's annoying voice came from the receiver: "Cheng Wanting, remember, you are the boss of the Cheng family, you are responsible for the Cheng family business and the future of tens of thousands of employees. Not only you, but also your future wife must be from a wealthy family, and can assist you in finance, economics, and politics. You can't be like Songxian, who only knows how to find some little stars and be fascinated by their figures and faces."
"Don't worry about my business." Cheng Wanting interrupted his father.
Lin Keying could sense that something was wrong with the atmosphere around her. The young master rarely spoke to others in this tone.
He is really angry!
The call lasted only about two minutes. When the topic turned to Chen Songxian, Cheng Wanting finally said coldly, "If he doesn't want to go to Africa, then go to Siberia. A seven-foot-tall man who only knows how to spend his days in Hong Kong, like a playboy, what future can he have. He can wait until after Nianying's wedding to leave, but he can only stay for half a month longer. When the time is up, he still has to get on the ship honestly. Either Africa or Siberia, it's up to him to choose."
Lin Keying rarely saw her fiancée express his emotions, and at this moment, a hint of anger was revealed between his brows, which was really rare: "Master, who wants to go to Africa or Siberia?"
Many countries and regions in this era must have been quite impoverished, and it would have been painful to go there from a prosperous port city.
Cheng Wanting's ears echoed again with Chen Songxian's words - "If the lady in the front row were to choose, do you believe she would choose me instead of you?"
Cheng Wanting smiled and said, "An eyesore."
Seeing her fiancé like this, Lin Keying said nothing more and just mourned in her heart. That annoying person had offended Cheng Wanting and would definitely not end well.
++++
As autumn deepens, Lin Keying has been going out wearing a silk scarf for several days in a row. Although the combination is fashionable, it is really eye-catching.
In the dessert shop, high school student Tingting was doing her homework seriously and asked curiously: "Sister Keying, why do you wear a scarf every day?"
How could Lin Keying say it? It was all because of her fiancé who suddenly went crazy in the office that night. She had no idea what had happened to the man.
"High school student, do your homework well and strive to become a lawyer." Lin Keying taught like an adult. Tingting pursed her lips and could only continue to bury her head.
The four shops connected to the dessert shop were given to Lin Keying by her godfather, who rented them out to open a roast meat shop, a pork belly soup shop, a hardware store and a barber shop.
When the four shop owners learned that the landlord had changed, they went to meet Miss Lin one by one. Seeing that she was easy-going, they couldn't help but feel relieved.
"We were worried about the change of landlord, but we didn't expect it to be Miss Lin."
"We were irritated by that housekeeper Wang before, and we had to give him tips to keep him quiet."
Several shop owners complained to each other. Lin Keying thought of the butler Wang and said with disdain: "I won't be in charge of the shop often in the future. If you have any problems, just go to butler Liang. He's very good at doing things."
After Guo Changda was rescued by Lin Keying, he learned that she had encountered difficulties in renting a shop, so he removed the housekeeper Wang and replaced him with a new one.
In just a short while of getting to know the landlord, Lin Keying was fed a bowl of roast pork rice and a bowl of clear beef brisket noodles. If she hadn't refused again and again, she would have almost lost her hair and would have been dragged by the enthusiastic barber shop owner to change her hairstyle.
In the end, the roast pork rice and clear beef brisket noodles were finished by Lin Keying and Tingting.
The street vendors in Hong Kong have great skills. The barbecued pork has a crispy skin and firm meat. When the secret sauce is poured on it, the aroma of the roasted meat is accompanied by a light sweetness.
The beef brisket in clear soup is cooked until the skin and meat are tender and juicy, and can be torn apart with a light bite. The soup base is simmered for a long time with multiple ingredients and is rich and delicious.
After the meal, the business of the dessert shop picked up again. Autumn has arrived, and refreshing desserts are gradually going out of the market, replaced by various rich and sweet desserts.
Today, Sister Ho and her husband went to Wan Chai District to look at a branch shop. The shop is located in the name of an old friend of Lam Keying's godfather. The rent is easy to negotiate, mainly depending on the customer flow and the cheapness of purchasing goods nearby.
There were only two recruited waiters left in the store, but they were able to handle the work, plus Tingting and Aqiang were there to lend a hand at any time.
The dessert shop was doing good business, with customers coming and going. After a while, a familiar-looking returning customer walked in.
"Boss." Cheng Min was on vacation today, and was invited by her friend Jiang Lixin to go shopping. When she arrived at Central, she missed this sweet soup, so she came over specially. "I want a portion of mango coconut milk sago, Lixin, what do you want?"
Jiang Lixin was not very interested in this street shop. The simple decoration and tables and chairs were not as luxurious and exquisite as those in a five-star hotel. She raised her hand to cover her mouth and nose, but could only agree with Cheng Min: "Just like you."
Through the Chen family's connections, Jiang Lixin successfully hooked up with Cheng Min, and flattered the third young lady of the Cheng family in every way. She asked her out shopping today, with the original intention of finding out more about the preferences of the young master Cheng. But this young lady was so extraordinary that she came to the street to eat snacks.
The two of them sat down at the table against the wall. When the waiter brought two bowls of sago, Lin Keying remembered this repeat customer.
"Amin, thank you for sending the flower basket for the opening ceremony." Lin Keying still remembers what the flower basket looked like.
Cheng Min's eyes curved into a cute crescent moon: "Thank you for the sweet soup last time."
Her university courses are not too tight, but the school is not here, so she has few opportunities to come here.
"Amin." Jiang Lixin looked at the woman who was talking to Cheng Min and felt vaguely familiar with her. "Who is this person?"
She has an oval face, curved almond eyes, a straight nose, rosy lips, and slightly upturned lip corners, outlining her beautiful jade-like features.
She is even more beautiful than the Miss Hong Kong contestants in the beauty pageant, and can almost compete with the movie stars on TV.
Seeing that she was wearing a set of new luxury brand clothes, Jiang Lixin immediately searched for this person in her mind, wondering if she was from a wealthy family.
"Miss Lin is the owner of this dessert shop." Cheng Min didn't talk much with others, so she probably only knew this information.
Seeing that she could not get any information out of him, Jiang Lixin just silently memorized the appearance of the dessert shop owner and prepared to go back and find out which wealthy family in Hong Kong had such a beautiful relative or lover.
Jiang Lixin claims to be a know-it-all about Hong Kong's wealthy people. She has been brought up by her mother since she was a child. Now she is doing her best to find out the news about Mr. Cheng.
"Amin, does your elder brother like to eat sweet soup? Or does he have any other favorite food?"
Cheng Min shook her head: "No, even my elder brother doesn't love me."
"Does your brother have any other entertainment activities besides work? Horse racing? Yachting? Going to the bar?"
Cheng Min shook her head again: "No, my eldest brother only loves to work."
Jiang Lixin didn't give up: "Then what kind of woman does your brother like?"
Cheng Min often hears people ask her this question, and she worries: "There has never been any woman around my eldest brother. He doesn't date."
Jiang Lixin: "..."
Unable to get any useful information out of Cheng Min, Jiang Lixin dared not say anything and just smiled along.
"Ah Xin, come and try the sago pudding, it tastes great." Cheng Min couldn't help but remind Jiang Lixin when she saw that she was slow to move the spoon.
It’s not that Jiang Lixin forgot to eat, but she really has a certain aversion to the food from this kind of street shop. Even though it looks good, it definitely doesn’t taste that good. How can it compare to the delicious food in a five-star hotel?
But since Young Master Cheng’s sister said so, she had no choice but to eat it.
Hmm...
The first bite of sago is so sweet and refreshing that it makes your eyes widen.
The taste is not inferior, no, it is better than any dessert shop she has ever eaten at!
After eating four or five spoonfuls in a row, the craving finally subsided. Jiang Lixin was secretly surprised. She didn't expect that such a small shop could hide such a talented person.
That afternoon, several groups of customers came in. After looking at the branches, Sister He and her husband came back and finally decided on the location.
“Keying, the shops at 55 Heping Street, Tsim Sha Tsui and 28 Tin Sheng Street, Sham Shui Po are both good. They have good locations. One is surrounded by several office buildings and shopping malls, and there is a food court. The flow of people is quite large, and there is also a market nearby, so it is convenient to get goods.” Sister He also learned a lot from Lin Keying and knew how to choose a location.
The last time Lin Keying went shopping, she went to several places, all of which were downtown areas. Coincidentally, the landlords of the two shops were Uncle Li, the head of Yongnian Industrial, who had become familiar to her at the last godparent ceremony. The shops were quickly rented out.
Lin Keying did not ask for a rental discount. She owed someone a favor for such a small matter, which was really a loss of the big picture and a waste of the godfather's valuable favor.
The rent for a shop in Tsim Sha Tsui is NT$2,500 per month, and the rent for a shop in Sham Shui Po is NT$2,200. The two shops were previously a tea restaurant and an ice cream parlor. The houses were only slightly modified and after a little bit of sprucing up, they were ready for business soon.
In addition to imitating the marketing methods used during the last opening, this time, Lin Keying also considered television advertising.
Once the two branches were opened, there were three Ho Kee Dessert shops in Hong Kong, and the brand effect could be brought out.
After leaving the dessert shop, Lin Keying was about to go to Huanyu to ask Secretary Yang for help in getting some media resources, when she saw an "arm" humming a song on the road.
"Ms. Lin! Have you eaten?" Tang Qiankun, a talent scout from Hongsheng Entertainment, greeted Lin Keying enthusiastically when he saw her. He also complained, "Ms. Lin, I copied the lyrics of "Under the Lion Rock" 1,000 times. It seems that this song plays automatically in my ears when I dream at night. I think I am doomed. I am addicted."
Lin Keying laughed when she heard the talent scout humming "Below the Lion Rock" and said, "That's great. If your stars can't become popular, you can do it yourself."
Tang Qiankun waved his hands repeatedly: "My image is not up to standard, and I don't have any talent."
The two chatted for a while, and Lin Keying thought that this person was in the entertainment industry, so she just casually asked about the advertising prices of Sanse TV Station.
As a result, when the matter was brought up, Tang Qiankun immediately became interested and enthusiastically introduced TV advertising opportunities to Lin Keying like a lackey.
When it comes to dealing with gossip media, magazines and TV stations, Yang Minghui is not even a professional scout.
Tang Qiankun serves as a scout, agent, public relations officer, etc., and has considerable media resources.
Lin Keying went with him to the Tri-Color TV Station and saw the TV building where countless classic Hong Kong dramas were filmed. Various film and television drama scenes flashed before her eyes like a kaleidoscope.
In her previous life, when she came to Hong Kong for tourism, she had specially gone to take photos and check in in front of the building, but this was her first time walking into a TV station.
It is true that Tang Qiankun has extensive connections. In just a few minutes he reached an agreement with the marketing department of Sanse TV Station, which is responsible for advertising sponsorship.
Lin Keying's dessert shop advertisement can be inserted in the first position after the TV series ends, played eight times a day, with a daily fee of 1,500 yuan, and sold and settled in weekly units.
"Ms. Lin, it's very difficult to get the first spot after the TV series ends." Tang Qiankun tried to take credit, "I'm familiar with Director Sun, so I got the spot."
Lin Keying suspected that Tang Qiankun was so attentive because he was worried that she would take his arm.
But being attentive isn't a bad thing.
Lin Keying paid a 60% deposit and an additional 5,000 yuan in advertising production fees to Sanse TV Station. Three days later, she saw He Ji's advertisement on TV.
The power of television advertising is immense, especially now that the Internet has not yet emerged, every household hopes to have a television of their own.
Any high-quality TV series can attract thousands of people to watch it.
Ho Kee Dessert Shop quickly became famous throughout Hong Kong, and the addresses of the three stores appeared clearly on television commercials, instantly attracting attention.
The main store in Central is packed with people, and the two branches have been doing booming business since they opened. Nowadays, Sister Ho is mainly responsible for training new employees, masters the secret recipe for boiling sweet soup, and assigns various physical work to the employees.
Tang Qiankun was worried about his arm when he saw Lin Keying. He helped her with something this time and couldn't help but take credit for it: "Ms. Lin, this TV commercial is really effective!"
Lin Keying couldn't refute: "It's really good."
"I know thousands of people in Hong Kong, if not tens of thousands. If you need anything in the future, come to me." Tang Qiankun handed over his business card, "Chasing stars, watching concerts, going to TV stations, and paparazzi..."
Lin Keying took the business card and glanced at it. She was a little confused when she heard the paparazzi ask, "Are you still a paparazzi?"
This business scope is really wide.
Tang Qiankun puffed out his chest, quite proudly: "Of course! It's a part-time job, and you can't make a living just by being a talent scout. These days, it's not easy to make a star famous. Miss Lin, if you suspect your husband of having a lover outside, I can take photos for you, and I guarantee that the photos will be clear. I took photos for a wealthy businessman's wife before, and when they divorced, she got an extra 200 million with those photos!"
Lin Keying: "..."
Listen, is this human language? Curse yourself like this!
But when she thought about Cheng Wanting keeping a lover outside...Lin Keying shook off the thought from her mind. It didn't make sense. This matter was totally incompatible with her fiancé!
No, that’s not necessarily the case with my husband. ——
The dessert shop's advertisement is played on TV day after day, helping the store's performance to rise steadily. Sister He and her family are already looking for a house and are planning to go see Acer Industrial's properties on Monday.
Lin Keying was lying on the sofa eating bird's nest, a beauty product cooked by Mrs. Hua. The hem of her beautiful dark red velvet dress was casually draped over the sofa. It was flexible and smooth, and with every movement she turned over, it bloomed like a rose brooch on her chest. The brooch was brought back by Cheng Wanting the other day. It was small and exquisite, and faintly sparkled with the light of broken diamonds.
After watching an episode of TV, Lin Keying was also satisfied when she looked at the commercials on TV.
But someone didn't understand the situation. The man on the second-floor corridor seemed dissatisfied with him for working hard while he was lying down and enjoying himself. He gave an order from a high position: "What's so good about TV? Bring your book to the study."
Lin Keying glared at the man upstairs from the sofa in the living room, then stood up resignedly.
......
Lin Keying, who has basically mastered the language, does not have much desire to learn more.
Especially since her fiancé always looked serious and his teaching style lacked some humor, Lin Keying became lazy over time.
At this moment, Cheng Wanting was reading documents at the desk in the study. Lin Keying was called up by him and sat alone on the sofa reading a book.
But this time it was not a language learning book, but something related to finance and economics, which made Lin Keying drowsy.
I came here by myself not to suffer the hardship of studying again!
Seeing that the man was devoted to his work, Lin Keying gradually changed from sitting and reading to lying on the sofa to read. After a while, she took out her gossip magazine and read it with relish.
She was so engrossed in eating the melon that she didn't even notice when the man stood behind her.
"What kind of crap are you watching all day long?" Cheng Wanting just glanced around and could see all kinds of news about cheating, keeping mistresses, and feuds among wealthy families.
Lin Keying was no longer afraid of him. Instead, she asked with great interest, "Master, do you know the grudges and hatreds between the four branches of the wealthy Li family? Are they really at odds with each other every day?"
"The rumor that the wealthy man surnamed Yang relied on his father-in-law's influence to rise to power, and then his first wife died, so he took in three concubines, and buried his first wife's ashes in a tomb shaped like a Feng Shui pagoda to suppress her. Is this true or false?"
“Is it true that a father and son, a clothing tycoon, are competing for a daughter?”
"I heard there's a wealthy widow who keeps a lot of young male models!"
Seeing that the man's face was becoming more and more speechless, Lin Keying really didn't want to pay any attention to him. He really lived in the circle of wealthy people in Hong Kong in the 1980s in vain and didn't know any gossip.
What's the use of you!
Cheng Wanting saw the woman snort and then read the Jin Yong novel serialized in Ming Pao with great interest, looking like she didn't want to pay attention to him. He said helplessly: "Why would I pay attention to those gossips... But if you want to know..."
Lin Keying pricked up her ears.
"Let Yang Minghui find out for you."
Lin Keying turned over and sat up, looking excited: "Okay!"
When wealthy families ask about other wealthy families, all of them are real first-hand information!
At nine o'clock in the evening, after staying in the study for more than an hour, Lin Keying was tired of reading the serialized version of Jin Yong's novels. After all, she still remembered the plots clearly, and now she was just killing time.
Counting the days, there has been no popular version of Jin Yong's TV series yet, so she is looking forward to it and is hoping to rewatch it to kill time.
Cheng Wanting called her to his study and didn't say much. He spent most of his time caring about his affairs. But if she moved a little, especially if she wanted to sneak away, she would be discovered by the man.
"Read the book I gave you more." The voice was flat and calm.
Lin Keying walked over to the man and saw that he was holding the land documents he had won in the last auction. She imitated him and said, "Look at your documents carefully. Why are you always looking at me?"
Lin Keying was standing next to the desk, and Cheng Wanting had to raise his head slightly to meet her eyes. Hearing these words, a thin smile appeared in the man's eyes, and his gaze lingered on the woman's face for a few seconds before moving away.
"If you're bored, help me pack up the papers?"
Lin Keying refused: "No, you didn't pay my secretary's salary~"
She was curious. Last time she heard her godfather say that the land in Sha Tin was clearly not popular, so why did her fiancé, such a shrewd man, choose to take it?
"What do you want to ask?" Cheng Wanting seemed to have eyes on his head and could see that Lin Keying was hesitant to speak.
"Why did you want to buy the land in Shatin? Shatin is not well developed right now, and there aren't many people competing for this piece of land." Lin Keying made a clear analysis. "Besides, you didn't want others to know, so you arranged for other companies to bid for it."
Cheng Wanting handed over the detailed documents about the land in Shatin, leaned back in the leather chair, put his arms on the side, and looked like an eagle spreading its wings, with a clear outline: "Guess."
Lin Keying took the information and sat on the edge of the desk. She flipped through a few pages and muttered to herself, "You still want me to guess? If you don't want to tell me, forget it. It's a business secret, I won't ask."
"Guess." Cheng Wanting tapped the redwood armrest with his fingertips. "There's a reward if you guess correctly."
"What reward?"
Cheng Wanting was like a devil tempting people to commit crimes, throwing out irresistible chips: "If you guess right, I will give you 5% of Shatin's shares."
Lin Keying: “…!”
Lin Keying, who was about to say something good, stopped immediately and asked cautiously, "What if I guessed wrong?"
"If you do it right, there will be rewards. If you do it wrong, there will of course be punishments." Cheng Wanting opened his thin lips slightly, spoke silently, and his mouth outlined a few words.
Lin Keying was stunned, then looked at him in surprise, biting her red lips lightly, leaving marks on the plump and soft lip flesh with her pearly teeth. After struggling for a moment, she nodded: "Okay!"
With all the information about Sha Tin in hand, Lin Keying read it carefully. When she thought about her godfather's introduction to Wanxin Company at that time, a guess gradually formed in her mind.
5% of the shares is not a small amount. Lin Keying pondered over it, but Cheng Wanting was relaxed and didn't seem to worry about his real plan being guessed.
"Have you thought about it?"
"Yes." Lin Keying said what was in her mind one by one, "Wanxin is your company, right?"
Seeing the man's expression change slightly, with a half-smile on his lips, Lin Keying confirmed that she had guessed correctly, and then continued to analyze: "At the auction that day, you really wanted the land in Shatin, and the land in Central was just a smokescreen. It could both raise the price for Liu Zhigao and Wang Weiliang and conceal your true goal. No one on the scene knew that you had secretly won Shatin."
Cheng Wanting's fingertips were still tapping lightly to echo Lin Keying's rhythm: "Why should I take over Shatin?"
"You have a way to hype up the land in Shatin." Lin Keying didn't know much about Hong Kong real estate in the 1980s, but since Cheng Wanting would spend 80 million to buy this cheapest land, it must not be to save money. "You are sure that the return on investment of this land will be greater than that of the one in Central."
The man stared at her with a hint of deep interest, as if he was eager to hear the answer: "What confidence do I have in making the land hot? And getting a higher return on investment?"
Lin Keying doubted whether she could take the test. As an ordinary person, she had no idea about the twists and turns in Hong Kong City, let alone the inside information. She bit her lip and thought. A lot of information flashed through her mind. It seemed that she had grasped something in a flash: "Maybe we can take advantage of other lands? A lot of land was sold at once this time. There are not many reclaimed lands in Hong Kong City. Maybe we can make something out of this?"
Lin Keying murmured her guess, but she didn't expect that the man had already stood up and walked in front of her. His tall figure blocked out the light and enveloped her.
"How to borrow the east wind?"
Lin Keying glared at him angrily: "How should I know? I have never dealt with wealthy businessmen like you."
The information I have is limited, so it is not easy to guess this.
"Then your guess doesn't count as correct." Cheng Wanting had a smile on his face, his deep eyes slightly shining.
"Why doesn't it count?" Lin Keying was angry, accusing the man of breaking his promise, "I must have guessed it right before. If you want to cheat, just say so."
But the man retreated very quickly: "Then you are half right."
"Really?" Lin Keying had already started calculating the value of half of the shares, with joy rising in her heart.
Before she could feel happy for a few seconds, she heard the man speak.
"You won half, so I'll give you 2.5% of the shares." Cheng Wanting leaned forward, leaned close to her ear, and spoke in a low voice, "But you also lost half, so you'll accept the loss. As agreed, you'll come to Huanyu to be my secretary for half a month starting tomorrow."
Looking at the woman's dazed expression, the man's slender fingers touched the rose brooch pinned on the chest of Lin Keying's velvet dress, gently adjusted the position, and whispered:
"Remember not to be late, Secretary Lin."
