After reading a piece of news attentively, Lin Su turned to Chen Qing and the two bodyguard ladies who had just entered and sat down on the sofa next to them. The three women were discussing something in low voices. Chen Qing occasionally wrote in the pocket notebook in her hand. After listening, After a few words, I learned that I was planning to go shopping tomorrow and was making a shopping list.
Seeing her looking over, Chen Qing smiled and asked in English: "Lin, do you want to go together tomorrow?"
Lin Su shook his head.
She was slightly disgusted that Chen Qing had to speak English to her. However, looking at the two girls sitting with her, she felt that Chen Qing probably did this because she didn't want them to be confused.
It's a reason.
The villa was fully equipped with all kinds of daily necessities, and many sets of clothes were even prepared for the two of them in advance. Lin Su didn't feel the need to buy anything extra. Her family was well off, but she was not someone who liked to spend money randomly.
I remembered my thoughts when I got that credit card at noon.
However, now I realized something was wrong.
He had just arrived in the United States. If he suddenly sent home a large amount of money, it would inevitably arouse suspicion and might even worry his parents.
We can only give up temporarily.
The three women next to them chatted for a while, and the two bodyguard ladies, Catherine Elgar and Pamela Winser, stood up and left. Chen Qing lowered her head and carefully checked the list on the notebook, and put the small notebook in her shoulder bag. She was very surprised. He casually took out a thick file bag from his side, spread it on his knees, opened it, took out a few documents and read them carefully.
Lin Su initially thought that Chen Qing was reading the contracts they signed that morning. After a few glances, she realized that was not the case and asked in Chinese: "Chen Qing, what are you looking at?"
Chen Qing also switched to Chinese smoothly and replied: "Simon asked us to read some information that Miss Dunn left behind when she left in private as soon as possible."
Lin Su raised an eyebrow: "Us?"
"yes."
Lin Su sounded dissatisfied and asked: "What about mine?"
Chen Qing seemed unaware of Lin Suweiyang's tone: "This is the only one, but I remember there is a printer in the study next door. If you want to read it, I can make a copy for you after dinner."
Lin Su couldn't help but said, "If I hadn't discovered it, you wouldn't have shown it to me."
"Of course not. I'll give it to you after reading it," Chen Qing said, turning her head and glancing at Lin Su: "Seeing that you have been distracted all day long, I think you are not interested in this."
Lin Su suddenly stood up, walked over, stretched out his hand and said, "Give it to me."
Chen Qing curled her lips, lowered her head and picked for a moment, then took out one and handed it over. Lin Su took it, but was not satisfied: "I want half."
"Why do you look like a little girl?"
"Who are you calling the little girl?"
"Listen, I only hear this kind of angry words often in kindergarten."
"I want half!"
"If you don't give it to me, come and grab it."
Lin Su didn't snatch it, but for some reason, the grievances accumulated during this period suddenly burst out. Standing there, she quickly began to shed tears.
Chen Qing was speechless, and quickly divided out half and handed it over: "Okay, okay, I'm afraid of you."
Lin Su felt a little embarrassed after taking his half of the information. He didn't stay in the living room any longer, turned around and walked out quickly with the information in hand.
Chen Qing watched Lin Su leave, shrugged in a very Western style, lowered her head and continued to read the document she was looking at just now.
This is some project information that the Westeros system is planning to invest in China.
Chen Qing has already gone through it briefly. It involves basically ordinary food and daily chemical fields, and the project scale is not large. The Westeros system is not included in China's core entertainment and relatively sensitive steel and other industries. A certain man was obviously selective about this.
At first the man said he would give her two years.
The project in hand was obviously a test. She needed to achieve results that satisfied him within two years before she could go further.
Thinking like this, Chen Qing quickly put aside the incident that Lin Su had just caused and focused on the information in front of her. This was a meat processing factory located in the inland area named Shuanghui.
The information is very detailed and I don’t know how it was collected.
At the end of the document is a series of questions, how would you rate this company? What is the best way to invest in this company? How to promote this company to grow into a large national conglomerate
All kinds of things.
Chen Qing majored in English in college. However, although she didn't have much clue about the problem at hand, she didn't feel panicked.
Few of the private entrepreneurs who emerged after the reform and opening up came from a 'professional' background.
After all, I still have a master's degree.
What's more, it's still the platform given by Simon Westeros.
If you don't understand something, just learn it.
Even if she doesn't have that much energy, thinking about the people like Catherine Elgar who serve her and Lin Su, the solution is very simple, just hire people who know the business.
Also, when Simon Westeros talked to her about studying for an MBA, Chen Qing also learned about it carefully these days. This matter will indeed be of great help to her in the future. I don’t know how the man plans to arrange it. However, you can definitely buy some related books tomorrow.
Thinking of this, Chen Qing took out the notepad from her bag and quickly wrote down the incident on it.
After putting away the notepad and continuing to read the information for a while, Lily Fawell came over to remind her that dinner was ready. Chen Qing got up and left the living room and came to the dining room, but Lin Su was nowhere to be seen.
He sat down alone at the dining table, hesitated a little, and waited patiently for a while until Lin Su, with red eyes, came to the restaurant. The dining table in this restaurant was a rectangle of more than two meters. Chen Qing sat in the middle of one side. Lin Su arrived and sat down far to the side of her on purpose, as if out of sight.
Chen Qing didn't care about this, sent Lily and Christina away, and picked up the tableware.
Very exquisite dinner.
Lamb chops with herbs, vegetable salad, salmon omelette, cream of mushroom soup, and the main dish is black pepper beef fillet pasta.
The portions are not large, enough to fill you up, and you don’t have to worry about gaining weight.
This is the dish that Lily Fawell asked Chen Qing to order after careful communication with the two life assistants at dinner. Lily and the two had obviously been trained. A few days ago, a man once told them that there is no comparison between Western food and Chinese food. Chen Qing thought it was very good, and there were not many obstacles to using knives and forks.
Because Lin Su said it was casual when asked about dinner, her dinner was just like Chen Qing's.
The two ate in silence for a moment, and Chen Qing spoke first: "Do you know how Mr. Westeros arranged for me?"
Lin Su didn't answer, but made a slight listening gesture.
Chen Qing said: "Mr. Westeros said, give me two years. If I can't make results that satisfy him within two years, then I will have to fend for myself in the future."
Lin Su paused.
A certain hateful guy didn't say this to himself.
Chen Qing quickly added: "Mr. Westeros didn't mention his arrangements for you, right?"
Lin Su didn't answer, but his expression already showed the answer.
Chen Qing smiled and said, "So, you are nothing."
Lin Su immediately glared at Chen Qing.
Chen Qing and Lin Su looked at each other, slightly emphasizing her tone, and said slowly: "Maybe you feel very good about yourself. You come from an official family, have a doctorate, and can get a full-time position at the beginning of your work. It's all smooth sailing. I A girl born in an ordinary working-class family would never dare to think about it. When I first entered high school, my father chose to retire early and gave his position to my brother. He was only 42 years old at the time. In fact, he was laid off. My mother worked in the factory It also closed a year before I was admitted to college, and I was laid off again.”
Lin Su didn't know why Chen Qing suddenly mentioned this, but her expression couldn't help but soften a little.
Chen Qing didn't mean to appreciate it, and said in a calm tone: "I didn't plan to study at first. It was my parents and brother who insisted that I took the college entrance examination. However, I didn't drag them down. From undergraduate to Master's degree, except for the first year, all my other expenses came from student loans, scholarships and part-time jobs, so I also look down on those poor students who drag their parents to work hard and even sell their blood in order to go to college. On the surface, they seem very poor. Poor and inspirational, but deep down they are a bunch of bastards. So I say, compared to me, you, a 30-year-old woman who seems to be the proud one but still cries at every turn, is nothing."
Lin Su was silent.
Chen Qing added: "Besides, you are nothing in front of Mr. Westeros. His arrangements for me are very clear. If I can't do it well, then get out. What about you, do you know what it is?"
Lin Su inexplicably wanted to run away.
Chen Qing did not give her a chance to escape, and quickly said: "It's like a person saw a stray cat on the roadside, thought it was pretty, picked it up and put it at home, and maybe forgot about it in the blink of an eye."
"you shut up."
"I haven't finished speaking yet, why should I shut up?" Chen Qing smiled contemptuously and continued: "So, you are not as important as you think at all. Even if you suddenly run away now and go back to China, West Mr. Luo probably just smiled and didn’t care at all.”
Lin Su slammed the tableware on the table and stood up suddenly.
Chen Qing raised her head slightly and looked at her: "What, you want to escape again, and you want to hide in your cat's nest and cry?"
Lin Su glared at Chen Qing: "You, do you think I dare not fight with you?"
"Oh, then you can't beat me. I was the women's 5,000-meter long-distance running champion for several consecutive years when I was in school. You must be out of breath when you run a thousand meters, right?"
Lin Su and Chen Qing confronted each other for a moment, then sat down slumped, sniffed, and tried to hold it back, but they still couldn't stop, and tears fell again.
Chen Qing ignored Lin Su and continued to eat slowly. After a while, she added: "The information just now is the test given to me by Mr. Westeros. I can count it on you."
Lin Su paused and wanted to refute, but finally gave up.
Chen Qing said: "I will select a few projects from them and do them carefully in the next two years. However, I can't do it alone. Although I don't want to cooperate with you, in the United States, after all, we are all Chinese, and only you are better Suitable."
"I won't cooperate with you."
"What do you want?"
"Myself."
"What do you do yourself, crying everywhere?"
Lin Su couldn't help it anymore, raised his hand and threw the spoon in his hand.
Chen Qing looked at the oncoming spoon and easily dodged it by turning slightly sideways. After hearing a few muffled bangs behind her, she said, "Listen, this is sterling silver. Pure silver is actually not expensive. Tableware made of sterling silver." Jewelry is expensive, and I think the sterling silver tableware in this mansion is even more expensive.”
"I'll compensate."
"What compensation should I pay? If the cat at home breaks a cup and saucer, will the owner pinch the cat's neck and let it pay compensation?"
Hearing this, Lin Su seemed to be "confident" and threw the fork in his hand over.
Chen Qing dodged again and returned to the topic: "You can't do it alone, you can only cooperate with me. This should be what Mr. Westeros meant, otherwise, Miss Dunn would not have left only one document. , but said it was for the two of us."
When Lin Su heard that she no longer said she was a cat and didn't throw anything away, her tone seemed a little loose, but she still insisted: "I won't cooperate with you."
"Are you worried that I will take away your credit?"
Lin Su was silent.
"When the two of us cooperate, I am the leader. When things are done, my contribution is greater than yours no matter what, so there is no need for me to take away the work."
"Then you can take charge alone."
"Of course it's not impossible, it just takes a little more time. In comparison, if you do it alone, not to mention whether Mr. Westeros agrees or not, he agrees. With your character, there is a possibility of screwing up. It’s also very big, and then you’ll just have to continue being the sniveling house cat you are.”
"Don't say I'm...that again."
"Okay, so we have reached an agreement."
"No."
"forget about it."
"Don't think I don't know why you want to cooperate with me."
"oh."
"You can form your own team, but try to see if you can form a domestic political network."
"It's just a matter of time."
"It's a pity that you don't have that much time. My parents' official positions may not be high, but our family knows a lot of people. China is an official-oriented country. If you want to do something, whether you have an official background and connections or not, there are two completely different outcomes."
"It seems you are not stupid."
"You are the fool."
"Don't always say things like this that remove a zero from your age. It's very childish."
"You're naive."
"All right."
Silence again.
Until the end of the dinner, neither of them said a word to each other.
However, after dinner, the two of them started to look through the information together in a tacit understanding. Due to the time difference, it was not until about two o'clock in the morning that they finally fell asleep. Before taking a break, after a not-so-heated discussion, the two women selected their first target, a meat processing factory called Shuanghui located inland.
After all, they had traveled a long distance, and when they arrived, they didn't have the private jet treatment that Simon had to rest comfortably, so they accumulated a lot of fatigue.
So when I woke up the next day, it was almost noon.
When Lin Su went downstairs to find Chen Qing, he had obviously just woken up and was on the phone in the living room downstairs.
After sitting nearby and listening for a few words, he learned that the person on the call was Isabel Dunn. When Chen Qing hung up, Lin Sucai asked, "Is Simon Westeros going to see us?"
"No," Chen Qing shook her head and explained, "I took the initiative to call him, but Isabel said that Mr. Westeros was very busy."
Lin Su didn't know whether he was disappointed or happy, so he said casually: "Isn't today the weekend?"
"So what about the weekend? The Westeros system is so big, there are always things to do," Chen Qing said, pointing to the TV. This time it was the CNN channel. The topic discussed on the screen was still the mid-term elections: "Besides, I think Mr. Westeros should be paying attention to this recently."
