"Xiao Lin, long time no see."

Lin Yilan looked at Liao Konganni with an enthusiastic face, and she adjusted the sunglasses on her head.

"Mrs. Liao, long time no see."

After the two warmed up for a while, they walked side by side towards Liao Konganni's car parked on the roadside.

Liao Konganni also specially opened the car door for Lin Yilan and made a gesture of invitation.

Lin Yilan was stunned for a moment, then raised her head and smiled politely at her.

After the two got into the car, the driver stepped on the accelerator and turned the steering wheel to drive the car into traffic.

The car was very quiet. Lin Yilan, Liao Konganni and the driver did not speak.

Until Lin Yilan took a look at her watch and broke the silence.

"Mrs. Liao, do you Liao still plan to participate in Hengxin's bidding?"

Liao Konganni nodded, turned to look at her with a smile, "I thought Miss Lin already knew about Liao's participation in the bidding. After all, the bidding is now The application deadline has long passed."

She put her arm on the window sill, "I really haven't paid attention to this matter. I was busy with my own work. I haven't paid attention to Hengxin for a long time."

"If it weren't for Liao . "Tai, please remind me, I probably didn't even know that the bidding application time for the port project has ended." After saying that, Lin Yilan rubbed her temples, looking very tired.

Liao Konganni looked at her suspiciously for a while, "Does Miss Lin really not know? After all, Hengxin was undergoing a major cleanup some time ago, and many old employees were dismissed. Experts in newspapers were still criticizing Hengxin for not treating her well. Where are the old employees?"

After learning that Lin Yilan had easily solved the problem of her brother going to college in the United States, she deliberately found time to recall the process of her acquaintance with Lin Yilan.

The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became, realizing that Lin Yilan knew her very well, but she didn't know Lin Yilan at all.

At first, I just thought that Lin Yilan was just a good-looking "toy" that the Pei Yan family found on a whim. Later, I gradually realized that the Pei Yan family and Lin Yilan seemed to be serious, and then I realized that the Pei Yan family seemed to love Lin Yilan very much.

Other than that, she didn't know anything about Lin Yilan.

At most, she understands that Lin Yilan is a silly Baitian who only cares about the Pei Yan family. Now that she thinks about it, she feels that maybe that silly Baitian is herself.

How could a girl who could stay with the heir of Hengxin, who could make the heir of Hengxin ignore her family's opinions for her, and who could help her brother solve the problem of studying in college thousands of miles away, could be such a stupid girl?

Fortunately, she reminded her eldest son not to judge a person's character just because of the side he showed.

Now it seems that the person who needs reminding the most is herself? !

Lin Yilan saw that Liao Konganni fell silent halfway through testing her, so she turned to stare at her for a while.

I saw Liao Konganni's face turning dark and red, sometimes annoyed, sometimes blaming herself.

Thinking of Liao Kongani's previous tentative words, she knew that Liao Kongani had probably realized that something was wrong with her.

Thinking of this, she curled her lips and said, "I really don't know if Mrs. Liao doesn't tell me. I haven't had time to read the newspaper for a long time. I finally finished the project, so I just lay down in the hotel room to rest for a few days."

"But based on the current situation of the Pei family, I don't think it's surprising that Hengxin is being purged." Lin Yilan looked out the window and said something specious. "And didn't the Liao family also take sides at this time?"

"It's a pity that Mrs. Liao would end up worse if she took the wrong team than if she didn't take the team at all. What do you think?" She elongated the last word in her mouth meaningfully.

Liao Konganni tested her, and she naturally wanted to test her back.

Liao Konganni did not expect that Lin Yilan would tear off her original disguise and was caught off guard.

Lin Yilan put her arm back on the window edge, and rolled down the window, exposing a crack.

The wind blew the broken hair on her forehead. The port city in spring felt very warm, and the wind carried the fragrance of flowers and the breath of spring.

"Mrs. Liao, I'm curious, have you, the Liao family, just decided to stand behind Mr. Pei Liu?"

Her voice drifted into Liao Konganni's ears along the wind.

I don’t know if it was the wind or the words that made Liao Konganni’s ears itchy.

She reached out and touched her ears, "Liao Baoxi is free to be with whomever she wants, but Liao Baoxi has no right to represent the Liao family."

Lin Yilan raised her eyebrows, turned around and moved closer to Liao Kongani.

"So, what Mrs. Liao means is that your Liao family is still standing with Pei Yan's family?"

Liao Konganni wanted to stay away from Lin Yilan for the first time. She moved her buttocks and moved closer to the car door. "A group as big as Hengxin, Our Liao family has no close connection with it, so what does it matter about which side we stand on?"

Lin Yilan blew the broken hair on her cheek, "Of course it is important, after all, every inconspicuous little detail, It is probably the key to success or failure in the end. "

It is impossible to say that the Liao family will have any important impact on the internal fighting between the Pei family and Hengxin.

But Lin Yilan just wanted to say this. Only in this way can the Liao family take her seriously. The more seriously they take her, the more they will invest, and finally fall down hard.

She hadn't thought of this method at first, and she wouldn't have thought of it if the Pei Yan family hadn't come to her to explain the matter.

It's not bad to let the Liao family invest all their money in Pei Liu, and end up with nothing.

Thinking of this, Lin Yilan's mood suddenly improved. If Liao Kongani hadn't been sitting next to her, she would have started humming.

Not long after the awkward chat ended, they arrived at the restaurant where they had dinner today.

Before coming to the restaurant this time, Lin Yilan was mentally prepared.

In her eyes, this restaurant is like a mission point on the map of Hong Kong City. Every time she comes, she has to accept missions, defeat bosses, and drop equipment.

I just hope that I can escape the task this time, if it can let her eat in peace.

After ordering the meal, Liao Konganni regained her initial enthusiasm, as if the back and forth between her and Lin Yilan in the car didn't exist.

"Xiao Lin, you must try the plain-cut chicken here. It's really delicious. It can be said to be the best in Hong Kong."

Lin Yilan opened the bowls and chopsticks and nodded with a smile.

"Okay, I will try it later."

When the waiter brought the tea, Liao Konganni took the opportunity to ask about the United States.

"Xiao Lin, I've never heard that you have acquaintances in the United States before. I didn't expect you to be so powerful. Why didn't you tell me. You are too humble to keep such a low profile."

Lin Yilan picked up the teacup in front of her and said, "Liao You're welcome, madam. I told you before that I met some American friends when I was working on the project. They

happened to be helpful in this regard. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to help. "

Liao Konganni is now deeply skeptical of her words, thinking that there is a lot of moisture in them.

But she was still very polite on the surface. She picked up the teapot and refilled Lin Yilan's cup, "You are so awesome, I don't know how to thank you even if I want to thank you."

She put down the teapot and looked at Lin Yilan, "Xiao Lin "Tell me what way you want to thank me, and I will do it for you."

Lin Yilan looked at the tea swaying in the teacup, and Liao Konganni began to test her again.

Fortunately, she was prepared for this and knew something like this would happen.

"I really don't have anything I want."

She pretended to lower her head and think.

After a moment of silence, she looked up at Annie Liao and said, "Well, Mrs. Liao, I have a friend who has been looking for an internship job recently. Is it convenient for your Liao's construction company to give my friend a chance?"

Liao Konganni blinked, construction company?

Her heart skipped a beat, thinking that Lin Yilan might have known about her previous calculations.

So was Lin Yilan pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger?

So are those people at Hengxin who were arrested for corruption and bribery related to Lin Yilan?

But now he couldn't break up with Lin Yilan.

Not to mention the relationship between Lin Yilan and the Pei Yan family, although her brother is now sure to go to NYU, he has not received the admission notice yet before the start of school.

What if Lin Yilan was doing something behind her back...

Thinking of these things made her head spin.

Liao Konganni pursed her lips, "Although the construction company is now in the hands of our third room, the specific personnel work still needs Lao Liao's consent."

"Well, if you are not in a hurry, I will go back and ask Lao Liao today. Liao."

After saying this, she felt at ease.

Lin Yilan laughed twice in her heart when she saw this. The position of intern required the approval of the top leader of the Liao family. This Mrs. Liao really... doesn't know how to make excuses.

However, she nodded calmly, "Of course, then I will wait for your good news."

Soon after she finished speaking, the waiter came to their table with the dishes.

It wasn't until she returned to the hotel in the evening that Lin Yilan was sure that this meal was the most serious meal she had ever eaten in that restaurant.

Lying on the sofa, she thought about her meeting with Annie Liao today.

Liao Konganni is probably frantically trying to find someone to investigate her now. No, to be precise, Liao Konganni should have started investigating her again some time ago.

This time she helped Liao Konganni solve her brother's schooling issues. To a certain extent, she also exposed her "true face" to the Liao family.

But this was something she had decided in advance.

She couldn't hide it for much longer. After learning from her third brother that the Liao family and Pei Liu were involved, she knew that the "silly, sweet, she loved" persona she had set up was almost coming to an end. .

In this case, she might as well prepare in advance and kill two birds with one stone.

Revealing her identity at this time will only make the Liao family doubt whether she is looking for help for the Pei Yan family because of the infighting within the Pei family, rather than because she wants to trick them.

Also take advantage of this opportunity to reveal your identity and gain some benefits.

For example, this time I am an intern.

Thinking of this, Lin Yilan jumped up and stood up from the sofa.

He walked to the desk, picked up the phone, and dialed Wang Ersheng's number.

"Hello, I'm Wang Ersheng's sister, and I have something to do with him." She leaned against the wall with the topic in hand.

"Okay, I know, Sister Ersheng, I'll call him for you right now."

While waiting for Wang Ersheng to answer the phone, she recalled her identity among Wang Ersheng's colleagues.

A cousin from the same village, like Wang Ersheng, sends money home every month.

I often come to see Wang Ersheng about finding a job and sending wages home.

"Sister, why are you looking for me?"

Lin Yilan knew it would be inconvenient when she heard him speaking in dialect.

"It's okay. I just have something new that I want to discuss with you. But it's too late today. Please call me back tomorrow."

Wang Ersheng glanced at his colleague not far away. "Okay, sister, I understand."

He hung up . After calling the phone, the colleagues around Wang Ersheng immediately started teasing him.

"A Sheng, what's wrong with your sister?"

Wang Ersheng sighed and scratched his head naively, "It's not just about the things at home, it's probably because her family sent her a letter asking for money again."

"In our village, , My sister and I are the most successful right now, so don’t try hard to get money out of us.”

After saying that, he sighed dejectedly.

The colleague next to him patted him on the shoulder sympathetically, "It's the same. At least you and your sister's family are far away from each other. It's not like us being pressed for money as soon as we get home. We

can't survive this life. "

When Wang Ersheng heard this, he rolled his eyes in his heart. He had made money and was not willing to spend it on his wife, so why make money?

"By the way, I heard in the car yesterday that the sixth son of the Pei family was looking for a bid for the Liao Construction Company's port project."

"Is this wrong? A family as big as the Pei family wants to rob Liao. "Meat in the bowl?"

"Probably not. From what they said, it sounded like what the sixth son of the Pei family wanted to do with the bid."

"What's going on? It's just gossip. It's disappointing."

When Wang Ersheng heard the content of their chat, he moved his ears and secretly remembered it in his heart.

The next day, Lin Yilan chose the little bourgeois lifestyle to start a new day.

First, he called the front desk and asked room service to deliver breakfast. Then he sat on the balcony with a cup of coffee, holding a fashion magazine in his hand, and spent the morning with his legs crossed.

"Hiss—"

she looked at the coffee in her hand, "I really shouldn't have ordered an American style. It's better to drink milk coffee."

"What's the difference between an American style without sugar or milk and Chinese medicine?" Lin Yilan sighed and said There is a bitter taste in it.

She has no projects in hand right now, and she seems to be doing nothing.

I remembered that some time ago, I was rushing to work on two projects at the same time, and I was so busy that I almost took off.

As a result, I am now so idle that my buttocks are almost flat.

It would be nice if one project ended and a new one followed.

A good circulation mechanism will be formed so that you won't get overwhelmed when you are busy and panic when you are idle.

"Dingling Ling Bell Bell-"

When she heard the phone call, she threw the fashion magazine without two pages to the side and got up to answer the phone.

"Hello."

Hearing Wang Ersheng's voice, Lin Yilan pulled up a chair and placed it next to the phone.

"Hey, it's me."

Wang Ersheng breathed a sigh of relief, "How's it going?"

Lin Yilan asked blankly, "What's going on?"

"No, no, I want to ask you, what did you call yesterday about?" Wang Ersheng pretended to smoke and looked around.

Lin Yilan told Wang Ersheng the conditions proposed by her and Liao Konganni, "I plan to find someone to work as an intern at Liao's construction company for a few months. As long as this person enters Liao's construction company, the Liao family will inevitably I'll keep an eye on this person."

"This way, you might be safer when you take the bid." When she couldn't think of any good way, this trick suddenly came to her mind.

Wang Ersheng naturally hopes that someone can help him share the firepower. Lin Yilan's words today, coupled with the chat he heard from his colleagues yesterday, suddenly felt that his life was twice as safe.

"Have you figured out how to get the bid?" Lin Yilan took a sip of the water in front of her.

Wang Ersheng thought about his plan, "I have a preliminary idea, but it's not perfect yet."

Lin Yilan thought for a while and nodded, "Then I will leave it all to you, as long as you give me the bid in the end."

To her, the process is not important, as long as the result is good.

And she definitely didn't know much about the Liao family's situation as Wang Ersheng did. So she wouldn't interfere with things like how to get the tender documents smoothly.

"By the way, do you have any suitable people to recommend to me? I will give him my previous intern spot at Liao's Construction Company."

Wang Ersheng knew her plan and had some thoughts in his mind, "What do you have for this person?" Do you want it?"

Lin Yilan was naturally prepared. She took out her notebook and said, "I went to a construction company. Although I am an intern, it is best to have basic office skills and not to be too close to you. It's not safe for you or him..."

She continued her instructions, and Wang Ersheng was not impatient at all.

After Lin Yilan finished nagging, she couldn't help but said "hello" to the microphone several times, "Are you still listening?"

Wang Ersheng felt a little funny and warm, "I am listening, I understand your request. Don't worry. , Nothing will happen to me. Since I promised you, I must be sure that it will be done. "

I always feel that what this kid says is different from what he thinks in his heart.

Even so, Lin Yilan just wrinkled her nose.

"Okay, it's best if you know it well. Do you have anything else to do?"

Wang Ersheng thought of the rumors he heard some time ago and was silent for a while, "You... pay attention to safety. Don't let others say anything. Just believe it, even if it's your boyfriend. The wealthy families in Hong Kong City are very complicated, you have to think carefully..."

He wanted to say something else, but he hesitated for a moment and still didn't say the rest. over.

Lin Yilan naturally knew what he was talking about, and smiled and comforted: "Don't worry, your sister, I am not that easily hurt, don't worry."

"I call you sister an honorific, as a person younger than me, still You should listen more to the advice of the older people around you!" Wang Ersheng retorted angrily.

He knew that she didn't take what he said to her to heart. Hearing her casual tone when talking about this matter, he was both relieved and anxious.

"Don't not take these things to heart. I know that your design ability is very good, but you have never seen the twists and turns in those wealthy families." Wang Ersheng became anxious and spoke much faster.

Lin Yilan didn't expect him to be so anxious, and was stunned for a while.

Knowing that he was caring about her, she patiently consoled her: "What you are worried about will not happen easily. I don't need to know too much about wealthy families."

There were some things that she couldn't explain clearly to him now, so she had to muddle through. .

Wang Ersheng thought the Pei Yan family had made some promise to her, so she could only say in a low voice: "Men are not good people. Don't trust him so easily."

Lin Yilan laughed out loud, "You are scolding yourself too. Have you entered? Don't worry, I won't stay here in Hong Kong City forever. I will go back to the mainland sooner or later."

Wang Ersheng felt a little happy when he heard that she wanted to go back to the mainland.

"Ahem..."

"I know. Yes, someone called me. Let's talk next time."

"Eh? Eh!"

Lin Yilan shouted into the phone several times. She didn't expect Wang Ersheng to call me directly. Hang up.

Listening to the beeping sound on the phone, she hesitantly put down the phone.

"So anxious?!"

"It's not a good habit to hang up the phone in the middle of a conversation."

After complaining on the phone, she moved the chair back to its original position and sat in front of the desk.

The Liao family's affairs are now stuck here. She can't go back, but she stays in Hong Kong City and has no new projects.

Of the three projects in hand, the art museum will be completed by the end of the year, and the commercial housing and kindergarten have just started construction, so she has nothing to do for the time being.

In this case, wouldn't she be able to do nothing and be idle during this period of time?

After being busy for a long time, she felt unaccustomed to it when she got some free time.

Could it be that she has been oppressed for a long time and has a mental problem? !

She shivered and picked up the new newspaper that the housekeeper had delivered today.

Busy on the phone, haven't read the newspaper yet.

I flipped through the newspaper from beginning to end. There was nothing interesting, and it was all in traditional Chinese characters.

She pinched the bridge of her nose and rubbed her Qingming point.

After coming to Hong Kong City for so long, she is still not used to reading traditional Chinese characters.

The article can be read in ten minutes, but it takes nearly twice as long because of traditional Chinese characters.

If it wasn't for the gossip, she wouldn't want to read a word.

Lin Yilan sighed and picked up the last newspaper on the table.

But a piece of news immediately caught her eye.

[The second daughter of the Liao family and the sixth son of the Pei family had a sweet date at the beach. 】

The accompanying picture is a photo of Liao Baoxi standing on tiptoes to kiss the sixth son of the Pei family on the cheek. When she kissed him, she was holding a cone in her hand.

After seeing the photo of Mr. Pei Liu, Lin Yilan put the newspaper in front of her and read it carefully.

Tiny photos, plus blurry pixels.

Looks cross-eyed! !

This was the first time she saw Mr. Pei Liu.

However, after just one glance, I couldn't help but compare him with the Pei Yan family in my mind.

After all, among the Pei family, she only knew the Pei Yan family, and had never met the others.

Yes, the Pei Yan family is more handsome.

After Lin Yilan came to the conclusion, she nodded.

-

"Ding ding, ding, ding, ding, ding -"

"Hey."

"I understand, Mrs. Liao. I will ask that person to report tomorrow."

Lin Yilan turned the pen in her hand and looked at the towering crane outside the glass window. said absently.

It was completely expected that the Liao family could agree to let her put an intern into the company.

She expected Liao Konganni to call her back so quickly.

After all, Liao Kongani's brother has not received the admission notice yet, and everything may change. How could she not be cautious.

Thinking of this, the pen spinning in her hand stopped.

"Tomorrow? Oh, no. He will go to the company by himself, and I won't send him off."

"Hahaha, after all, you still have to exercise more by yourself."

"Okay, okay, I will definitely eat with you and Mr. Liao if I have the chance . Let's have a meal."

"Okay, bye."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Yilan breathed a sigh of relief and rested her feet on the low stool beside her.

She has already placed the people Wang Ersheng found.

The deadline for submitting bids is not long.

Now we are waiting for news from Wang Ersheng and hope everything goes well.

She slowly closed her eyes, her chest rising and falling, breaking her calm look, revealing a trace of anxiety and uneasiness.

And Liao Konganni on the other end of the phone was not in a calm mood after hanging up the phone.

She turned and walked towards the man sitting in the office chair.

Liao Konganni put her hands on the man's shoulders and watched quietly as the man processed the documents in his hands.

After sensing her uneasiness, the man put down the pen in his hand, closed the folder, and put his hand on the back of her hand.

"Don't worry, she is right under our noses, what kind of tricks can she make."

Liao Konganni leaned on the armrest of the chair, "Husband, I... don't know why, but I feel a little uneasy."

"I I feel panicked when I think that she was so easy to deceive in front of me before, but now she is so powerful. "

The person Liao Kongni called her husband was Liao Jingming.

At this time, he was wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, with his hair leaning on the mousse, and it was arranged meticulously. Because he was indoors, he only wore a white shirt and his tie was tied neatly.

He doesn't have the fat of a man in his forties or fifties, and can even be said to be somewhat lean.

He seems to be a businessman full of elegance.

Smart, self-disciplined, but not arrogant.

Liao Konganni looked down at her man, feeling a little proud and a little intoxicated.

"Jing Ming~ Do you think I should ask my second sister for help...?"
