"Dr. Lin, thank you for your recognition!"
"I, Lin Li, deeply admire what Old Master Yu has done!"
After listening to their conversation, Mr. Yu chuckled awkwardly, closed the suitcase, and put it away.
Mr. Yu then gave her the invitation letter for Lin Li to visit Hong Kong again a month later.
On her way back, she planned to go straight back to Shenzhen.
This time she can stay in Shenzhen for a few more days to appease Wang Jianguo and Gao Zhe, lest they think she really has abandoned them.
Wang Jianguo and Gao Zhe: Oh, you knew about this too!
After dropping Lin Li off at the border, Mr. Yu went straight back.
As soon as she came out of customs, she got into the black car that Wang Jianguo had arranged, looking around and touching it.
During the phone call, Wang Jianguo said that the car was a newly purchased office vehicle for the catering company, specifically for picking up and dropping off important VIPs.
Unexpectedly, this time it was his boss who was picking him up and dropping him off.
As soon as the driver, Xiao Chen, saw his boss get into the car, his eyes lit up as he touched every part of the car, and he straightened his back with delight.
Yesterday, after receiving Manager Wang's order, he immediately washed the car thoroughly, just to let his boss know that he cherished the car.
"Boss, would you like to go back and rest first, or go to the South Sea Pavilion?"
Lin Li thought for a while, calculated the time, and then said.
"Take me home to rest for a while first, I'll go over tomorrow."
"OK!"
Xiao Chen stepped on the gas and drove towards Lin Li's home in Shenzhen.
On the way, Lin Li saw a huge billboard on the side of the road that read, "Oriental Garden, the first villa in Shenzhen".
"Xiao Chen, let's not go home yet, let's go to this Oriental Garden first."
Lin Li immediately called out to Xiao Chen and pointed out the way again.
After listening to Lin Li's words, Xiao Chen looked up at the exact location of Oriental Garden and nodded.
"Okay, boss!"
They turned around and drove towards the direction of Oriental Garden.
Lin Li sat in the back seat of the black sedan, her fingertips lightly resting on the hem of her beige silk dress, her gaze passing through the car window as she watched the palm trees rushing past.
The world outside the car window was changing at an astonishing pace, with newly built buildings springing up like mushrooms after rain, and the air filled with a vibrant atmosphere.
Upon arriving at the sales center, Xiao Chen went to the sales consultant and explained his purpose.
A saleswoman immediately came over with a briefcase and a warm smile on her face.
“I can take you to the villas that are currently for sale…”
"Okay, you sit in the passenger seat and lead the way."
Following the saleswoman's directions, the car turned onto a path lined with phoenix trees, and behind a red brick wall, a neatly trimmed lawn could be vaguely seen.
As Xiao Chen parked the car and opened the door, a scent of gardenias and fresh grass wafted out.
Lin Li stepped out of the car in her high-heeled sandals, her white skirt fluttering gently in the wind. She tucked a stray hair behind her ear and gazed at the off-white villa in front of her.
The villa's design has a distinct Southeast Asian style, with a sloping roof covered in dark red tiles, simple Romanesque columns, and light-colored granite steps in front of the door, with delicate carvings on the handrails.
The saleswoman walked quickly to the front, a warm smile on her face: "Ms. Lin, this is the latest apartment type launched by our Oriental Garden. It covers an area of 320 square meters, and the garden is 100 square meters."
Lin Li did not speak immediately, but nodded slightly and slowly walked up the steps.
The brass door knocker was polished to a shine. She reached out and gently touched it with her finger, feeling a cool sensation from her fingertip.
Pushing open the door, the high-ceilinged living room opens up into a bright and spacious area. Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows is a meticulously maintained courtyard, and sunlight filters through the blinds, casting dappled shadows on the floor.
"Look at this ceiling, it's 3.8 meters high, which is quite rare in Shenzhen these days."
The saleswoman followed behind her, introducing the property: "The kitchen is open-plan and connects to the dining room. There's also a terrace outside where you can drink tea and watch the stars at night."
Lin Li's gaze slowly swept over every corner of the room, her fingers brushing against the edge of the solid wood dining table, feeling its smooth and delicate texture.
She walked to the top of the stairs and started going up, holding onto the carved railing.
The second-floor corridor is carpeted with soft carpet, so soft that you can barely hear a sound when you step on it.
The master bedroom has an ensuite bathroom and walk-in closet, and when you open the window, you can see a faint view of the sea in the distance.
"Seven units have already been sold since the project opened last month."
The saleswoman's voice carried just the right amount of urgency: "A discerning customer like yourself knows that this area will definitely appreciate in value in the future."
Lin Li turned around, a faint smile playing on her lips.
She bought this outfit in Gangcheng, and wearing it made her look much younger and more elegant.
"30% down payment, 10-year mortgage?"
Lin Li asked, her voice clear and melodious.
"Yes, the monthly repayment is very flexible."
The saleswoman quickly handed over a floor plan, saying, "If you make a decision today, you can apply for a year's free property management fees."
Lin Li took the drawing and lightly tapped it with her fingertip.
"Is the flame tree in the garden already there?"
She suddenly asked a question, her gaze drifting to the lush tree outside the window.
"Yes, we deliberately preserved the original trees," the saleswoman said with a smile. "When they bloom next year, the trees will be full of red flowers, which will be especially beautiful."
Lin Li didn't ask anything more, but simply looked through each room again along the corridor.
The windows of the three secondary bedrooms face the fountain in the courtyard, and the sound of water hitting the stones can be clearly heard.
She imagined the space for a bookshelf on the wall of the study, and her smile deepened as she envisioned it filled with books.
When I returned to the living room, the saleswoman had already brewed tea.
Lin Li sat down on the sofa, gracefully picked up her teacup, and the steam blurred her features.
Did you bring the contract?
She gently blew on the tea leaves, her tone as calm as if she were talking about something completely ordinary.
The saleswoman was stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening and quickly took out the documents from her briefcase.
"I've brought it, I've brought it. Please take a look. If there's anything you don't understand, I'll explain it to you."
Lin Li took the contract, but instead of looking at it immediately, she looked out the window.
Several workers are watering the lawn, and the water jets draw beautiful arcs in the air.
The faint sound of car horns could be heard in the distance, but it did not disturb the tranquility of the place.
"How's the security here?" she suddenly asked.
"Don't worry, we have security guards patrolling 24 hours a day, and the walls are all fitted with security bars," the saleswoman quickly assured. "The people living here are all people of status, so there's absolutely no problem with their safety."
Lin Li nodded and lowered her head to start looking through the contract.
She observed very carefully, occasionally stopping to ask a question or two, her voice not loud, but carrying an undeniable certainty.
Half an hour later, she closed the contract and took a pen out of her handbag.
"Let's go with this one."
As she spoke, she signed her name at the signature area.
