While the paparazzi and Lin Yilan were sitting and chatting, the police who followed them also arrived.

They put their hands on their knees, half bent over and panting, "You two, don't move."

Lin Yilan was stunned for a moment, then distanced herself from the paparazzi, "What did you do?"

"I didn't just follow you and take pictures. Except for the photos of celebrities, you have never done anything illegal!" The paparazzi looked at Lin Yilan innocently, "Miss Lin, you didn't call the police to arrest me because I took pictures of you, right?"

He squinted. Eyes, holding the camera, looked at her suspiciously.

Lin Yilan was confused, "How is that possible? I have been following you just now. How can I have the time to call the police?"

The two policemen took a breath and walked up to them.

"Why are you two running around on the street? Follow me to the police station to make a record."

Lin Yilan: "..."

"No, does Hong Kong City have any regulations against running on the road?" She said He looked at the policemen in confusion, and then looked at the paparazzi next to him in confusion.

The paparazzi took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, bent over and handed it to the two policemen.

"Sir, I accidentally provoked Miss Lin just now, so she chased me. I'm really sorry for delaying your work because of our personal affairs."

The younger of the two policemen continued. He passed the cigarette handed to him by the paparazzi and put it in his mouth to light it.

The older man rejected the paparazzi's cigarette and looked at Lin Yilan sitting on the ground, "Ms. Lin? Are there any celebrities with this name in Hong Kong recently?"

he asked the colleague next to him curiously.

The young policeman shook his head and blew out the cigarette, "I haven't heard of it. It seems that there is no girl of her age in the family of a wealthy businessman named Li in Hong Kong City."

"Tell me, who are you?" The older policeman had a straight face. , staring at Lin Yilan seriously.

Lin Yilan silently dug out her business card holder from her bag and took out her business card.

The paparazzi on the side helped Lin Yilan and said: "This Miss Lin is a very famous young designer in Hong Kong City in the past year or two. She is also the girlfriend of Director Pei Yan's family of Hengxin Group."

The last sentence of introduction made her feel a little confused. Unhappy, she silently handed her business card to the two policemen.

Although she wanted others to know who she was and was called the girlfriend of the Pei Yan family, which had nothing to do with the Pei Yan family, Lin Yilan was still a little unhappy.

However, she also understood that this situation was not caused by the Pei Yan family, and she could not blame the Pei Yan family.

Compared with celebrities like the Pei Yan family, it is still difficult for Lin Yilan, a simple mainland girl, to have everyone in Hong Kong recognize her by her name.

The identity introduction from the paparazzi allowed the two police officers to quickly determine Lin Yilan's identity.

After they put their business cards in their pockets, they waved their hands, "Ms. Lin, do you want us to take this paparazzi away?"

The paparazzi brother looked at them and laughed angrily. There is no need to burn bridges so quickly.

Lin Yilan weighed the film in her hand and said, "No, I've already got his film. I'm sorry for bothering you both today. Thank you."

After sending the police away, the two of them sat back down where they were before.

Lin Yilan looked at the film in her hand, took out her wallet from her bag, took out ten Hong Kong dollars and stuffed it into the paparazzi's hand, "Help me buy a pair of scissors."

The paparazzi looked at the ten dollars in his hand and raised his head speechlessly. She glanced at Lin Yilan and said, "Okay, okay, you are brave, I will listen to you."

While the paparazzi went to the store to buy scissors, Lin Yilan pulled out the film and looked at the light.

She pinched the edges of all the negatives where Ms. Youyi appeared, leaving a mark with her nails.

"Here, I bought the scissors. I bought some lollipops with the remaining money."

Lin Yilan took the scissors, cut out all the negatives of Ms. Youyi, and then returned all the negatives with her in them . The paparazzi.

"It's not easy for you to make this trip. I can't let you open the sunroof, so just take my film for submission."

The paparazzi looked at the film in his hand, then looked up at Lin Yilan, "Ms. Lin, you are so kind-hearted. Ah? You told me earlier, I will definitely take over the task of following you in the future."

Lin Yilan pretended not to hear his teasing. She put the scissors aside and tore open the lollipop packaging, "I'll help. You are not without conditions."

After she finished speaking, she extended her hand to the paparazzi.

The paparazzi lowered his head and glanced at Lin Yilan's upward palm, then looked up at her in confusion.

"Give me your business card." She waved.

After the paparazzi put away the negatives, he took out his business card from his pocket.

After she took the business card with satisfaction, she flicked it and said, "Mrs. Chen's photo cannot be published in the newspaper, but her name should be published in the newspaper, right?"

The paparazzi nodded, still a little confused.

"When you published my photo, the text next to it helped me mention Mrs. Chen. When people watching the news saw your news, they thought I had started designing a church for Chairman Chen Xiaomin. Can you do it?

"If possible, I will contact you as soon as possible if there is any news in the future." She shook the business card in her hand, "You know, I have more news about those celebrities than you do." The

paparazzi understood her. Meaning, according to her, it means the two of them are cooperating. If she has any news in the future, she will tell him as soon as possible, but he will help her add some other content to the news, and then turn it into news and publish it.

He thought for a moment and decided to agree to her.

"Yes!"

She was right. She had an advantage over them in terms of distance and opportunities to contact celebrities. As long as she casually lets out two pieces of information, he won't have to worry about his performance this year.

Lin Yilan turned around and stuffed the paparazzi's business card into her business card holder, then stood up and dusted off her butt.

"I'm leaving first. I have to go back to find Mrs. Yi and Mrs. Chen."

The paparazzi had just finished checking the camera in his hand and put a new roll of film into the camera.

Hearing this, he raised his head and said, "Okay, I'll go too."

Looking at Lin Yilan's leaving figure, the paparazzi found it interesting.

He has been in the industry for so many years, and there are not many people who can be so polite to him after catching him, but there are also many people who do business with him.

After all, sometimes some people need to promote themselves. Without the existence of their paparazzi, how can they "expose" some of their own things.

However, I don’t know what Miss Lin wants to expose to the outside world through him.

"Ah sneeze -"

Lin Yilan rubbed her nose, "It must be that paparazzi who was talking about me just now."

After walking for a while towards the place where she and Ms. Yi separated, she suddenly heard the honking of a car behind her. .

"Didi-di-"

She looked back and found a taxi driving slowly behind her.

I saw a person sticking his head out from the back seat, waving to her and saying hello, "Hi~"

"Ms. Yi?"

Lin Yilan asked with some uncertainty, "Why are you here?"

Ms. Yi shook the juice in her hand, "I'm here to find you. Have you caught the reporter?"

Lin Yilan opened the car door and sat down. When she arrived at Ms. Yi's side, she took her orange juice from her hand and said, "I caught it, but not all the negatives were taken away. I took all the negatives with you."

After that, she stuffed the negatives in her pocket . In the hands of Ms. Yi.

Ms. Yi looked over the negatives in her hand for a while, "When I get back, I'll have someone help me develop the photos. I want to see how I look in the hands of paparazzi."

"By the way, Where do you live? I'll ask the driver to take you back first, and then take me back."

Lin Yilan yawned, "I'm staying in

a hotel again? Have you ever thought about buying a house in Hong Kong City?" Ms. Yi held up the film and turned to face the window.

Lin Yilan shook her head, "I have no money, the housing prices in Hong Kong City are too high."

Ms. Yi put down the film in her hand and turned to look at Lin Yilan, "Don't you work at Hengchang Real Estate? Your company's first The project is selling so well, why doesn't the company boss give you, an executive, a house as a reward?"

Lin Yilan raised her eyes and looked at Ms. Yi. This person knew her well.

Du Jiaxin had told her about the house and had already reserved a suite for her, Ms. Qiu and Du Jiaxin herself.

However, this matter was not disclosed to the outside world, so Lin Yilan did not publicize it to the outside world.

"I haven't heard from Mr. Du. But there are three phases of this real estate, so it's normal that we haven't mentioned it now."

Ms. Yi gave her a disapproving look, "You are so good to the paparazzi, why are you so polite to your boss?!"

Looking at her childish look, Ms. Yi slowly broke down the truth and told it to Lin Yilan.

"Don't all mainlanders hate capitalists? How come you, a mainlander, are still sympathetic to capitalists? You must know that the location of Hengchang's current building is good, but it is not at a very good level."

"You guys A large part of the reason why the company's real estate has been so successful is due to you, the design director. If it weren't for the design ideas you put forward, Hengchang would never have achieved what it is today!"

"So you and Du Jiaxin! What's wrong with getting a house? You should do it."

Lin Yilan has always felt that Ms. Yi's appearance does not look like someone in her seventies. Not to mention her black hair and fewer wrinkles on her face compared to her peers. The most people who go up are in their fifties and sixties.

But after she said that, Lin Yilan admitted that she was seventy.

The nagging and caring tone is so similar to her grandma.

Lin Yilan listened patiently, nodding from time to time, and cooperated with Ms. Yi obediently, as if she would do whatever she said.

Why argue with someone who actually cares about her?

Soon, the Mandarin Hotel arrived.

Seeing that they still had something to say, the driver stopped the car on the side of the road.

When Lin Yilan was about to get out of the car, Ms. Yi grabbed her wrist.

"What's wrong? Ms. Yi."

The way Ms. Yi looked at her made her a little confused.

This look always made her feel as if Ms. Yi was looking at other people through her.

She stretched out her hand and waved it in front of Ms. Yi, "Ms. Yi?"

Ms. Yi let go of her wrist and smiled apologetically, "It didn't hurt you, did it?"

Lin Yilan shook her head, "No."

"Xing Minhe I already know about the selection of the person in charge of the Hengxin cooperation project. That old man Chen Xiaomin is not a good person. You must not think that he is helping you. You should be careful when dealing with him, understand? The lady sighed and looked at Lin Yilan worriedly.

She raised her hand to touch Lin Yilan's eyes, then silently put her hand on Lin Yilan's head and patted it gently.

"I know that you and the Pei family's Xiao Qi are boyfriend and girlfriend, but you should be more cautious about this matter. Men are not good things. If you trust them too much, you will suffer hardship easily.

But the Pei family's Xiao Qi is better than Compared with the other grandchildren of the Chen family and the Pei family, you are indeed a good person. "

"By the way, you should also be careful about other people during this time. They all know you and Pei Xiaoqi. We won’t be able to get away with it just like that.”

Ms. Yi rambled on, and Lin Yilan listened patiently.

"There is one person you should be careful about, Chen Jianwen!"

[Well-known designer Lin Yilan was revealed to have juice on the street with the wife of the chairman of Xingmin Group. ]

Lin Yilan wiped the water droplets from her hair while looking at the magazine in her hand.

She was very familiar with the photo published in the magazine. If she guessed correctly, this photo should be the last one in yesterday's pile of negatives.

Pushing away the magazine, she picked up the hair dryer and blew her hair.

Yesterday, she separated from Ms. Yi and returned to the hotel.

After moving away from Pei Yan's home, she returned to Wenhua.

Only this time she once again stayed in an executive suite whose security level had been upgraded to N levels.

As she and Chairman Chen reached an intention to cooperate, news about her taking over the church project began to spread one after another. At the same time, the way for the election of the person in charge of the cooperation project between Hengxin and Xingmin also began to spread in various places. Circulated in newspapers and magazines.

Many reporters and people in Hong Kong now believe that she is the child of one of Chen Xiaomin's illegitimate children. Others speculate that she is Chen Xiaomin's savior, and some even speculate that she is Chen Xiaomin's youngest daughter.

Anyway, there are various rumors, but all the speculations are discussing why Chen Xiaomin, the chairman of a well-known group, promotes a young female designer.

In order to promote her, he even quarreled with Mr. Pei, the chairman of Hengxin.

Suddenly, Lin Yilan was in the limelight and became the envy of many young people in Hong Kong.

And only those who have been involved in this incident can feel that this is just the calm before the storm.

In the past few days, no one from the Pei family or the Chen family came to look for her.

The longer they stopped coming, the more Lin Yilan felt that they were coming, and the strings in her heart became tighter.

"Ding-ding-ding-ding-"

The phone in front of the desk rang. Lin Yilan turned off the hair dryer in her hand and picked up the phone.

"Hello, I'm Lin Yilan, what can I do?"

"Okay, I understand. Let him wait for me in the coffee shop. I'll be down in fifteen minutes."

"Okay, okay, thank you."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Yilan puffed up her cheeks and exhaled.

It's finally here.

After combing her hair neatly with a comb, she picked up a lipstick and applied it lightly in front of the mirror.

She changed her shirt, put on her leather shoes, and picked up her briefcase.

Lin Yilan walked to the entrance, showed a big smile to herself in the mirror, and left the room.

She stood in the elevator, looking at the declining numbers, expressionless, even a little indifferent.

Unexpectedly, the first person to come to her door would be the eighth brother of the Pei Yan family, the one who failed to kidnap her last time.

interesting.

"Ding dong——"

After the elevator door opened, Lin Yilan strode towards the coffee shop.

As soon as she stepped into the door of the coffee shop, she found a different environment than usual.

Although this cafe is inside the hotel, there are not many customers inside.

At least it won't be like today, with no one around.

...So the venue is reserved?

She walked to the front desk and found the barista with whom she had a good relationship. "Hello! What's going on today?"

The barista raised his chin and gestured not far away, "Ms. Lin, you are here. The coffee shop is occupied by the Pei family today. The Eighth Young Master has reserved the room."

"What do you want to drink? I'll make you a drink and send it to your room later."

Lin Yilan looked back and saw Pei Laoba looking up at her.

After their eyes met, she nodded and said hello.

"No, I just want a cup of milk coffee. You can bring it directly to that table." Looking at the barista, she pointed to the table where Pei Laoba was sitting.

The barista stopped grinding coffee, and several question marks popped up on his head, "Are you Mr. Pei's guest?"

Lin Yilan shrugged helplessly, and did not answer her question, but pointed to the coffee shop not far away. table, "I'm going over there, waiting for your coffee."

Lin Yilan took the briefcase on the bar and walked to Pei Bashao.

When she passed by, Pei Bashao was reading a magazine.

Glancing at it, I saw that it was the magazine in her room, with her name written on the cover.

"Master Pei, this is our first meeting. Hello, I'm Lin Yilan. Nice to meet you." After saying that, she stretched out her right hand.

Pei Basao put down the magazine in his hand, stood up, and gently held her hand.

"It's better to see her than to hear it for a long time. Miss Lin is indeed as beautiful as the rumors."

Lin Yilan smiled perfunctorily. To her, praising her for her good looks was probably the most useless compliment.

She let go of her hand and sat across from Pei Bashao.

"Master Pei Ba, didn't you bring your cousin here today?"

Thinking of what Pei Ba had done before, it was a great honor for her to be willing to sit down and talk with him calmly.

Pei Bashao twitched the corner of his mouth. He had long heard that she had a bad temper, and now it seemed that was indeed the case.

He handed the menu in front of Lin Yilan, "Ms. Lin, what kind of coffee do you want to drink?"

Lin Yilan pushed the menu sign aside, "No, I ordered it when I came in just now. Mr. Pei Ba, we won't Let's go straight to the topic of today.

What do you want from me?"

Pei Bashao noticed her resistance, his eyes darkened, and he put his hands together on Erlang's knees.

"Ms. Lin knows what I want, right? You can just make a price and tell me what you want before you can sign a contract with me?"

The waiter placed the milk coffee Lin Yilan asked for in front of her.

Lin Yilan looked at the coffee in front of her, picked up a spoon and slowly stirred it in the coffee cup.

"Ding--"

The coffee spoon hit the coffee cup, making a ceramic collision sound.

"What can Mr. Pei give me?"

Pei Ba breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he can negotiate, it means that Lin Yilan has not directly settled on his good seventh brother.

Thinking of the things that happened in the group during the time when Pei Yan's family returned to Hengxin, Pei Ba's chest became more heaving.

I had heard before that this good brother of his was not to be trifled with, but now after facing him head-on, I found that this good brother of his could not be described simply as not to be trifled with, he was a mad dog.

Hengxin doesn’t know how many people have been fired in the past half month due to accounting issues.

He took out the document bag he had placed in his bag and pushed it in front of Lin Yilan.

"This is what I can give you, Miss Lin." He raised his hand and made a gesture of invitation.

Lin Yilan picked up the document bag and took out the information inside.

An application for admission to a master's degree program at the University of Hong Kong, a letter of recommendation for admission, an application form for an award in the Hong Kong architecture industry, a cooperation plan for future projects with Hengxin, and a check filled out in the amount of 500,000.

Seeing the last check, she looked up at Pei Ba and smiled.

"Master Pei Ba is stingier than I thought."

"Cough cough cough -"

Pei Ba covered his mouth with a tissue. When Lin Yilan spoke, he was still drinking coffee and almost choked to death on her words.

Five hundred thousand Hong Kong dollars is too little for her? !

He put down the coffee cup and looked at the girl in front of him, and then he realized that Lin Yilan had a big appetite.

"Then how many do you want?"

Lin Yilan lowered her eyes, her eyelashes fluttering along with her eyelids.

"If we win the Kowloon project, the revenue for Hengxin can reach at least nine figures, right? Then Mr. Pei, how much money can you make from becoming the project leader?"

"Earn so much money, just give it to me The person who has the power to make the decision is divided into five hundred thousand. Mr. Pei, you must be stingy."

She looked up at Pei Ba with a smile.

She won't want this money. Coming over today, the only thing she wanted to do was test.

Pei Ba's eyebrows furrowed slightly, "According to what you say, are you going to open your mouth? I can kindly remind Miss Lin that it might not be good for Chairman Chen to know that you are opening your mouth so wide. Be careful."

Lin Yilan stirred her coffee cup, silently repeating the four words "Ji Fei Dan" in her mind.

For her, whether it is a chicken or an egg, she did not ask for it.

Working with Conway now, it was indeed the best choice to start with this project, but she knew very well that she could not expose her urgent thoughts to these people.

Once Chen Xiaomin knew that she was anxious to win the project, it was time for him to manipulate her.

She knew very well that it looked like only Pei Ba was sitting at this table drinking coffee with her, but in fact all the people from the Pei family and the Chen family were at this table.

She is not playing a game with Pei Ba. In this bet, she has to deal with everyone in the Chen family and the Pei family.

He couldn't believe it until he confirmed the identity of Pei Yan's family.

She had to admit that Conway's words had a considerable impact on her.

Gang City is such a small place. It was obviously looking for trouble with the Liao family, but in the end it ended up involving the Pei family and the Chen family.

There seemed to be a thread that involved everyone she knew in Hong Kong City.

Thinking of these things, she twitched her lips quietly.

Pei Ba was a little impatient when he saw that she had been silent.

"Ms. Lin, what will it take for you to consider cooperating with me?"

Lin Yilan picked up the cold coffee and drank it slowly.

The cooled milk coffee slides through the throat and esophagus with bitterness and coldness.

In a way, it's refreshing.

"Mr. Pei, I am considering cooperating with you now. It's just that I don't see your sincerity."

She picked up the information placed next to her and laid it out as she spoke.

"The application form and recommendation letter from the University of Hong Kong are of no use to me. As for the City of Hong Kong Architecture Award, I'm sorry, I'm not interested. There is also the cooperation with Hengxin. Mr. Pei, I'm really curious, why do you think everyone Do you think I would be willing to leave the mainland and stay in your port city to develop?"

"In my opinion, only this check of 500,000 Hong Kong dollars is of some use, but the price is too little."

She put it in front of her . The information was pushed back to Pei Ba one by one, leaving only the check.

He tapped his fingers lightly on the check, making a slight sound.

Lin Yilan stood up and picked up the check with her fingers, walked to Pei Ba and put the check on the table, "So I will return this check to you."

"Mr. Pei, if you want to cooperate with me, please take it. " Come up with something sincere."

Pei Ba's face suddenly turned red. He picked up the check in front of him and tore it into pieces. He looked up at Lin Yilan who was standing next to him. "What do you want?"

Lin Yilan picked up. Pick up the pieces and put them in the ashtray, then pick up the matchbox on the table.

After gently sliding the match, it immediately burst into flames.

Looking at the flickering flame, she threw the match into the ashtray.

Soon, the match ignited the shredded paper.

Pei Ba looked at the flames in front of him and couldn't help but frown.

When the flame was about to extinguish, Lin Yilan uttered two words.

"U.S. dollars."

Pei Bayi didn't react for a while, until he looked up and saw Lin Yilan looking at the ashtray, and he suddenly realized.

He laughed angrily, "Lin Yilan, you must have a big appetite. I can afford half a million US dollars, can you handle it?"

Lin Yilan raised her eyebrows, "If you don't give it, how do you know I am "Can't you take it?"

"Besides, don't tell me that the eighth son of the Pei family can't even get half a million dollars?"
