Chapter 140 Chapter 301, 302
[The latest World Architecture Award winner architect Lin Yilan. ]
[Lin Yilan: Thank myself. ]
[Lin Yilan’s mentor Wu Congshan reveals the secret! ]
[The eagle takes off, Lin Yilan, a girl from Beijing. ]
When Lin Yilan took the plane back to Hong Kong City, major newspapers were printing and distributing the latest newspapers.
The person who caused the topic and discussion was fast asleep on the plane.
After winning the award, she did not accept any media interviews and directly chose to fly back to Hong Kong City.
To be precise, the first time after she won the award, she wanted to share this happiness with her family.
But in the past three days, there were no flights from New York to Beijing or Shanghai. In desperation, she had no choice but to fly to Hong Kong City and then transfer.
After contacting Gangcheng Airport in advance, I found someone to book the connecting ticket.
Her plan was to get on a plane from Hong Kong to Beijing as soon as she landed in Hong Kong City.
I really don’t want to waste time waiting in Hong Kong City anymore.
On the other side, everyone in Hong Kong City received the news and immediately discussed countermeasures.
Dennis knocked on the door of Chen Xiaomin's office.
"Chairman, Mr. Chen, Mr. Chen." He looked at Chen Jianxin and Chen Jianwen sitting on the sofa for a moment, then said hello immediately.
Immediately afterwards, he walked to Chen Xiaomin's desk and reported the latest situation.
"Ms. Lin has now boarded the plane back to Hong Kong from New York."
Chen Xiaomin was about to show a proud smile when he heard Dennis's next sentence.
"But the staff at the airport said that Miss Lin entrusted him to book a flight from Hong Kong City to Beijing. Miss Lin asked her to get on the plane to Beijing as soon as she landed in Hong Kong City. She wanted to return as quickly as possible. Jingshi."
After the words fell, the expressions of the three men named Chen in the office became a little ugly.
At this time, Ms. Yi opened the door and walked in.
"Chen Xiaomin, I'm telling you if you don't hurry up, you'll end up in trouble. Look, they are not anxious about your affairs at all. They are anxious to go home and share this good news with their families."
Chen Jianxin said a little harshly, "Grandma, if Lin The lady is really anxious, why don't you fly directly from New York to Beijing?"
Ms. Yi glanced at her cheap grandson, "Because there are no flights from New York to Beijing and Shanghai in the past three days."
Chen Jianwen said nothing. He picked up the prayer beads on his wrist.
When Ms. Yi saw the beads in his hand, the sarcasm at the corner of her mouth widened a lot.
This cheap grandson had done something wrong, and he started worshiping Buddha.
She walked to Chen Xiaomin's desk and knocked on his desk. "I have nothing else to do with you. I just want to remind you that what you promised me must be done."
"I don't want other designers now. It's Lin Yilan. So you'd better let Designer Lin take over the church project and stop worrying about your past troubles all day long."
She looked at Chen Xiaomin disdainfully, "There are more and more wrinkles on her face. I think it's because you have too many calculations in your mind."
Chen Xiaomin frowned impatiently, "I will do what I promised you. Are you okay these days?"
Ms. Yi sneered, knowing that he was doing this. Thinking that she was bothering him by coming over, she turned around and walked out with her bag on her back.
Chen Jianwen took a look at the time, stood up and said goodbye.
At the same time, the second-phase sales of Hengchang Real Estate's properties also ushered in a new wave of sales climax because of Lin Yilan's award.
Beijing University of Technology is also contacting Wu Congshan and asking him to find a way to contact Lin Yilan and ask her to return to school to give a report.
There is nothing unusual about Lin's father and Lin's mother's school. They are very low-key in school and no one knows that they are Lin Yilan's parents.
The Shanghai Federation of Industry and Commerce is also celebrating this event.
In short, all units and people related to Lin Yilan became active.
When the plane arrived in Hong Kong City, it was already past two o'clock in the afternoon in Hong Kong City, and the flight from Hong Kong City to Beijing was at three o'clock in the afternoon.
In other words, there was not much time left for Lin Yilan to pick up luggage, tickets and check-in.
She ran out of the plane almost as soon as the door opened.
Finally, she rushed to the counter at about 2:30 to pick up the ticket from the person she had contacted before.
However, things turned out differently than she expected.
"Ms. Lin, we haven't received your message here. Sorry." The customer service at the counter looked at Lin Yilan apologetically.
She was stunned for a moment and put her hand on the counter. "Is there another flight to Beijing this afternoon?"
The customer service member flipped through the book in his hand. "There is another flight, but it's quite late. It's almost ten o'clock when we arrive in Beijing. " "Yes. Do you still need it?"
Lin Yilan nodded and took out her wallet, "Yes. How much is the ticket?"
When the customer service member was about to say something, he saw a group of burly men in suits appearing behind Lin Yilan. .
She looked at them hesitantly, and then glanced at Lin Yilan worriedly.
Lin Yilan immediately turned back after feeling the customer service's look.
Seeing this group of people, she frowned and said, "If you want to buy tickets, you can wait until I finish buying them."
One of the burly men came over and put his hand on the counter, and then another walked up and took it. Lin Yilan's suitcase.
"Miss Lin, Chairman Chen wants to meet you."
Lin Yilan glanced at them, and with just one glance, she knew she couldn't defeat them.
She took a step back and stared at the person who spoke to her warily, "You said Chairman Chen, do I have to believe it?"
"And I have to go home now, and I don't have time to waste time with you here. If you If you really need something, you can call me in advance to make an appointment."
As she said this, she took out the business card from her pocket and handed it to the burly man who was talking to her.
The burly man ignored her, still maintaining his previous tough attitude.
"Ms. Lin, the chairman's car is outside."
Lin Yilan held her suitcase expressionlessly, "Let go, I want to go home."
"Ms. Lin, if you don't cooperate with the chairman, I'm afraid you will I can't get on the plane."
After finishing speaking, the burly man glanced at his colleague standing at the counter.
The customer service person on the counter was so frightened by this scene that his face turned pale.
Lin Yilan's eyes lingered on the two faces, and she gradually loosened her hand holding the suitcase, "Yes, I can go to see Chairman Chen, but I have one request, I need to find someone to accompany me. "
Seeing that they didn't speak, she immediately added, "I'm not sure of your current identities at all, so I have to find someone to protect myself."
The burly man thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay."
Lin Yilan. He immediately walked towards the public telephone dialing station.
Without even calculating the time, she called Pei Yan's family who was still in New York to handle work.
The waiting time on the phone was a bit long, longer than every call she had made to Pei Yan's family before.
Fortunately, the call was still connected.
Lin Yilan didn't say hello, but told the Pei Yan family about her situation as soon as she came up.
"...Didn't you say before that you have bodyguards that can be arranged? Please bring me someone here."
The Pei Yan family did not expect that they would be so bold as to kidnap someone at the airport.
He comforted anxiously: "Don't worry, you wait at the airport for half an hour, the bodyguard will arrive soon. Don't leave with that group of people before the bodyguard arrives."
"I know, don't worry, don't worry." Lin Yilan was not so nervous anymore.
Her only regret is that given the current situation, she probably won't be able to go home at night.
After hanging up the phone at Pei Yan's house, she followed his request and sat down at the agreed place. Then she closed her eyes and waited for the bodyguards of Pei Yan's house to come to her.
It just so happened that she had been on a plane for more than sixteen hours and had not rested until now.
The burly men blocking her didn't expect her to sit down directly.
"...Is Miss Lin taking a rest?"
"It seems so."
"Diao, she seems to be in a good mood."
"So she can do great things, unlike us who can only be bodyguards."
" Wait, is she asleep?"
"Boss, how long do we have to wait? The chairman is waiting in the car. What should I do?"
"...Wait, didn't the chairman say so? Let us try our best to take care of Miss Lin's emotions."
Lin Yilan could clearly hear the chatting content of these people around her.
How could she be so big-hearted that she could still fall asleep even though her personal freedom was controlled.
At this time, a young girl came over.
The burly men winked at each other and blocked the young girl.
"Miss, there's someone here. If you need a place to rest, you can go look for it elsewhere."
The young girl tiptoed and glanced behind them, "Is the lady inside the designer Lin Yilan? I'm from the Department of Architecture at the University of Hong Kong. Student, I want to say hello to her, is it convenient?"
Lin Yilan opened her eyes and turned to look in the direction of the young girl.
But the burly man didn't think so. They were nervous whether this man wanted to take Lin Yilan away.
"She looks like a helpless young girl. Let her come over." Lin Yilan spoke in a very calm tone.
Seeing that they were unmoved, Lin Yilan had no choice but to add, "You don't think you can't guard a girl, do you?"
The burly men looked at their boss.
The boss looked up and down at the young girl who said she was from the University of Hong Kong.
"Stretch out your hands and show us."
The easiest way to judge whether a person has undergone professional training is to see if there are calluses on the hands, whether the steps are light, and whether the body is firm.
Of course, we do not rule out some experts providing cover in these aspects.
But such people are generally not sent to deal with ordinary people like Lin Yilan.
The young girl holds out her hands.
The boss checked it, nodded, and stepped aside to let the passage pass.
The young girl sat next to Lin Yilan and took out a magazine and oil-based pen from her bag. "Ms. Lin, can you sign your name for me?"
Lin Yilan smiled and took the pen. She didn't expect that she would still Can have fans.
The magazine was the American version of "Design and Style". She didn't read the specific issue. But after scanning the cover, it seemed to be a special discussion of her works.
It turned out that so many people had begun to pay attention to her in places she didn't know about.
This feeling made her originally depressed mood become a lot happier.
Just when she was about to write, the girl next to her suddenly took the magazine and secretly thrust a note into her hand.
"Ms. Lin, can you sign here?"
Lin Yilan lowered her head and glanced at the note in her hand, which had a string of English written on it.
[Do you need my help to call the police? ]
She felt warm in her heart, smiled and shook her head, "Okay, I'll sign here."
The young girl bit her lip and lowered her voice, "Are you sure you don't want my help...?"
As she said this, she quietly did it. Gesture of a police phone number.
Lin Yilan put the signed magazine into the young girl's hand and whispered: "It's okay, don't worry."
The young girl felt relieved, and she excitedly stretched out her hand to Lin Yilan, "Ms. Lin, I really I really like your design concept. I will definitely attend the opening of the Aizhen Art Museum in a few days. "It's just that I don't have the
money, otherwise I can just buy a house in Hengchang New Building."
She was a little depressed.
Lin Yilan held her hand back and patted her shoulder.
"I believe you will be able to buy a house in Hong Kong City soon, come on! And thank you for liking my design. If we have the opportunity, we can communicate and discuss the design together."
Not long after bidding farewell to the fans, the bodyguard sent by Pei Yan's family said Found it.
There were quite a lot of people, which made Lin Yilan and the burly man, who were already very conspicuous at the airport, even more conspicuous.
In addition, there was a girl among the people sent by the Pei Yan family, who was said to be sent by the Pei Yan family to be her assistant.
Lin Yilan looked at the girl in front of her and said nothing, and temporarily agreed to let the girl follow her.
After seeing that the security personnel at the surrounding airports had become vigilant, Lin Yilan found the boss of the burly men and said, "Now I can go see Chairman Chen with you."
The burly men breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Miss Lin did not regret it, after all They also don’t want to take people away in public at the airport.
On the way out of the airport, Lin Yilan felt that everyone who saw them would stop and look at them. She immediately took out sunglasses from her bag and put them on her face.
The bodyguards sent by Chen Xiaomin plus the bodyguards sent by Pei Yan's family.
There were almost thirty people walking behind her, and all of them looked like they were not to be trifled with. Those who didn't know it thought the black boss was out on the street.
It's... so embarrassing.
Especially when he thinks that he is now considered a celebrity in Hong Kong City.
It was even more embarrassing...
Lin Yilan hated herself for not having a mask to wear.
She pulled up the collar of her clothes, lowered her head slightly, and tried to cover her face as much as possible.
Walking out of the terminal, the boss pointed a direction to Lin Yilan, and she immediately saw the Audi parked on the roadside.
At this time, Audi was a symbol of the rich.
Of course, it will be the same in the future, but at this time, Audi does not have so many series.
The boss opened the car door for Lin Yilan and made a gesture of invitation.
Lin Yilan stood by the door and did not get in the car. Instead, she glanced at the car and saw the two men in front of her. She immediately turned back to look at the female assistant that Pei Yan's family had found for her.
"You can get in the car with me later."
The female assistant nodded and gave her a reassuring look, "Don't worry, Miss Lin."
Lin Yilan looked at the boss at this time, "You tell your chairman, Give up the passenger seat for my assistant, otherwise I won't get in the car with you."
She got in the car stupidly. There were three grown men sitting in the car, but she was still "tied".
If she really resigned herself to her fate and got in the car, if she was taken to some remote place by the people in the car, she would really have no place to cry.
Although the co-pilot was Dennis, whom she knew, there was an eighty-year-old man sitting in the back seat.
The boss bent down and looked at Chen Xiaomin in the car.
Without knowing what he said, he saw Dennis opening the car door and getting out of the car.
Lin Yilan glanced at the assistant when she saw this.
The assistant immediately got into the car.
After the assistant sat firmly in the passenger seat, Lin Yilan sat in the back seat.
As soon as she got in the car, she heard Chen Xiaomin's voice.
"Ms. Lin, treat each other with admiration after three days of separation. It's been a long time
since we last met." Lin Yilan smiled, "Chairman Chen, it's been less than half a month since we last met."
Chen Xiaomin closed the folder in his hand. "Xiao Lin, your situation is different. A lot has happened in the past half month, hasn't it?"
"Chairman Chen, let's not talk nonsense. It's the end of the year now, and I should go home. If nothing happens , I still want to go home. If I go to the airport now, I can still catch the evening flight."
Lin Yilan interrupted Chen Xiaomin's greetings.
Chen Xiaomin felt choked. He took a deep breath, took out a document bag from the back of the car and handed it to Lin Yilan.
"This is the contract for the church project, designer Lin, take a look."
Lin Yilan raised her eyes and glanced at Chen Xiaomin, just as the car happened to cross the overpass.
The shadow entered the car so that his face was right at the intersection of yin and yang.
She took the document bag and inside was a contract.
It is the contract for the resort chapel project.
As long as she signs this contract, the church project is hers.
Interesting, are you so anxious to sign a contract with her now because you are afraid that she will run away?
After checking the contents of the contract, she put the contract into the document bag.
"Chairman Chen, the contract can be signed, but I have to take it to my lawyer to check it over."
Chen Xiaomin was obviously not satisfied with the answer. He frowned, "There is nothing wrong with the contract. If you are not worried, we can go to the lawyer now." I'll find a lawyer to show you."
"All my contracts must be checked by my lawyer. My lawyer is the person who knows my situation best, and he is also the person who knows my interests best, so I'm sorry, I can't sign the contract now. ."
At this moment, Lin Yilan was very calm. She knew that it was finally time for her to take the initiative in this game.
"We have delayed it for so many days before. It's not less than a day or two, right? Chairman Chen." She asked him in a very good mood.
Chen Xiaomin knew that she was now on the higher end of the scale. No matter how anxious or angry he was, he could only endure it.
"Okay, since Designer Lin said so, of course I will cooperate."
Lin Yilan put the document bag into her bag, "Does Chairman Chen have anything else to do? If nothing happens, can you take me back to the airport?"
Chen Xiaomin was decisive. Refuse, "Ms. Lin, you can wait until the Chinese New Year before going back. In addition to the church project, there is another matter today, the selection of the person in charge of the cooperation project between Hengxin and Xingmin."
"We have already contacted all the people in Kowloon . The residents have signed the contract, so work must start as soon as possible. I wonder if Ms. Lin has confirmed the person in charge?"
He was very interested when he mentioned this.
Lin Yilan didn't expect that this matter could be related to her.
She took a deep breath and asked: "Chairman Chen, have you decided that I must choose the person in charge of this project?"
Chen Xiaomin nodded happily, "Yes. So now, in addition to the project team of Hengxin and Xingmin Group, " In addition to people waiting for you to make a decision, there are also residents on the land in Kowloon."
"After their contracts are signed, bulldozers and excavators will come in soon, so the longer you delay, the more likely they are to move in." The longer it takes."
Lin Yilan didn't expect that Chen Xiaomin, an 80-year-old man, would morally kidnap her.
How disgusting.
She sighed quietly, as if she was distressed and anxious.
"Chairman Chen, if I choose now, will you definitely follow my wishes? If you agree, will other people in the project team agree? Will Mr. Pei approve the person I choose? What if I choose Come out, the project is halfway through, and you change people, what should I do?"
Her series of questions sounded like the result of her serious thinking.
This made it difficult for Chen Xiaomin to refute.
After all, these questions are really to the point and related to Lin Yilan's real interests.
He has now given up on the plan he started earlier. With her current development trend, it is absolutely impossible for her to return to the family due to marriage in a short time.
But as long as Lin Yilan gets married, he will definitely find a way to delay her career prospects.
He pondered for a moment and decided to temporarily hand over the initiative to Lin Yilan.
"Then what do you want?"
Lin Yilan tilted her head and rubbed her temples, looking a little distressed.
"Let's do this, Chairman Chen. It just so happens that I haven't asked my lawyer to open this contract for me yet. How about you sign another contract with me?"
"Use contracts to protect your own interests. You Hong Kong people should be better than We mainlanders are more familiar with this, right?"
As the chairman of Xingmin, Chen Xiaomin is very aware of the importance of contracts.
He immediately rejected her request, "If this doesn't work, is there any other way?"
Lin Yilan spread her hands and said innocently, "Then I don't know. If you are anxious, you can help me think of it." I think so, but if you don't expect it, just wait."
The car stopped slowly after arriving at the entrance of the Mandarin Hotel.
Lin Yilan looked at the familiar doorman and sighed.
In this tone, she sighed with true feelings.
It's so... annoying.
"We've arrived at my place. If Chairman Chen is okay, I'll get off the bus first."
This is a good opportunity to push Chen Xiaomin.
Chen Xiaomin glanced at Lin Yilan who was in a hurry to leave and pinched the bridge of his nose. "I know about the contract and I will consider it. Just wait for my news."
Lin Yilan shrugged, "Chairman Chen, to put it bluntly, I'm not the one who should be anxious about the cooperation project."
"It's getting late, and since Chairman Chen won't let me go back to Beijing, I'll go back to the hotel. Before
getting off the bus, she thought of one more thing, "Chairman Chen, if we sign the contract for the church project, I will start the design and construction of the project."
Chen Xiaomin waved his hand irritably, "I understand, you go back to the hotel first. By the way, you'd better not think about going back to the mainland without my permission during this period."
Lin Yilan and everyone got out of the car and heard At this point, she deliberately turned around and returned to the car.
She bent over and looked at Chen Xiaomin in the car with a half-smile, "Chairman Chen, let me tell you clearly. I hate people threatening me the most."
"If you are really capable, let me go back to you all my life. " No way to the mainland."
After saying these harsh words, she turned around and walked towards the hotel entrance with her bag on her back.
Chen Xiaomin looked at her back and was so angry that he slapped the car door next to her.
The driver glanced at the rearview mirror in the car. He had never done anything to comfort people, and he didn't know how to comfort people.
When will the assistant to the chairman come back?
urgent need!
Lin Yilan was blocked by people as soon as she entered the hotel lobby.
"Ms. Lin, I'm finally back!"
Chen Jianwen was wearing a black shirt and still standing in front of her with her head splayed back.
Lin Yilan thought about the information the Pei Yan family told her, and her eyelashes fluttered up and down.
"Mr. Chen, why did you suddenly decide to come to see me? Have you made your decision?"
Chen Jianwen looked at the people around him and pointed to the elevator. "This is not a place to talk. Let's go to a quiet place."
Lin Yilan followed. passed.
While the two were waiting for the elevator, they were still chatting.
"Ms. Lin, after winning such a grand prize, do you still plan to do business?" Chen Jianwen put his hands in his trouser pockets.
Lin Yilan clutched the strap of her bag, "Mr. Chen, do you mind having too much money? No one would mind having too much money. And I just won a prize, not a lottery."
Chen Jianwen thought of seeing Lin Yilan in the newspaper. In his acceptance speech, he turned to face her and smiled, "Didn't you say you like architectural design very much? Are your words and deeds inconsistent?"
"Mr. Chen, do you like eating meat? Do you want to eat pork just because you like it?" Don't you want to eat beef?" Lin Yilan asked him this question.
Chen Jianwen was startled for a moment, then laughed and nodded, "You're right, that's right, we can't give up beef because of pork."
The back-and-forth probing didn't end until the two of them entered the coffee shop.
After ordering coffee, Chen Jianwen looked at Lin Yilan without saying anything.
He thought about the file in his hand, which he had obtained through the help of a very well-connected person in the mainland.
I knew Lin Yilan had an identity before, but I didn't expect her to be so "powerful".
If they really build a relationship with her, they can save a lot of effort.
Thinking of this, he smiled brighter at Lin Yilan.
At the same time, he also took out a check and pushed it in front of Lin Yilan.
"Ms. Lin, we have a batch of goods to be sent to the mainland in the next two days. I wonder if it's inconvenient for you?"
Lin Yilan looked at the check for half a million US dollars in front of her, her eyes darkening.
She leaned toward the table and picked up the matches on the table.
I lit the check again in the same way and put the burning check in the ashtray.
But this time when she was burning the check, the person in front of her was not Pei Ba.
Chen Jianwen's eyes reflected the burning flames, "Miss Lin, what do you mean?"
Lin Yilan pushed the ashtray aside and leaned on the back of the chair, "As partners, we must show our strength to each other. This time That's when I show my sincerity. As for Mr. Chen, just wait until next time to show your sincerity."
Chen Jianwen raised the corners of his mouth and stared at Lin Yilan and laughed.
He didn't care at all about the contempt thrown at him by the people next to him because of his laughter.
"Okay, okay, I didn't expect Miss Lin to be so sincere, then I'll wait and see you."
Lin Yilan moved her lips slightly and stretched out her right hand, "Since Mr. Chen also agrees, then we will have a happy cooperation!"
Chen Jianwen held her hand and said, "It's a pleasure to work with you."
Lin Yilan raised her hand and glanced at her watch, stretched out, "It's getting late, I haven't rested since I got off the plane."
She got up and walked out for a few minutes . He stepped back and said, "By the way, Mr. Chen, what did you bring this time?"
Chen Jianwen paused while drinking coffee and looked up at Lin Yilan.
"It's electrical appliances from overseas."
