"Huh?... Are you... Garlic?"
Although there was some noise coming from the phone receiver, Lorraine still recognized the identity of the other party.
"Well, yes, Mr. Luo, is it convenient for you to speak now?"
Lorraine looked up at Qin Wanshu and nodded immediately: "It doesn't matter, just say it."
"Excuse me... do you have time to come to Hongkong?" I don't know why, in Lorraine's impression, there has always been no language and emotion, but there was a trace of emotion in his words.
"When?" Lorraine asked.
"It's best to come tonight..., at the latest, I hope it can be no later than nine o'clock tomorrow morning..."
At this time, Lorraine noticed something was wrong and couldn't help but ask: "Garlic, what's wrong? Is there anything important?"
I don't know if it was an illusion, but Guan Tou on the other side of the phone seemed to ponder for a moment, and quietly took a heavy breath. Then his voice became hoarse and deeper, with a trace of inexplicable and forbearing sadness: "Uncle Shui... passed away."
"!!!" For a moment, Lorraine was stunned.
Before Lorraine could say anything, Suantou continued: "The funeral is scheduled for nine o'clock tomorrow morning, so... I hope you can come."
Speaking of friendship, Lorraine and Shui Bo didn't have a deep friendship, and they didn't even know each other very well, but... Lorraine knew that he had to go this time, and he had better be on time. First, for Luo Lin, opening the hongkong market without Shui Bo's help would be like talking nonsense. Second, if Uncle Shui hadn't given him the confidence in Hongkong's situation, he wouldn't have had the courage and determination to cooperate with Hu Yidao, and then Chinese Supreme's southern promotion would have allowed the Jiang Gang to march south. Third... hongkong is an essential strategic location for Lorraine.
Once he occupies market share and influence in hongkong, he can better open up the international road. Whether it is his own Austrian plan or overseas plan, hongkong is an indispensable link.
Uncle Shui has passed away now. He is likely to have trouble connecting Hongkong and Xinji, so he has to go there no matter what. On the one hand, it is to pay homage to Uncle Shui, and on the other hand... it is to put himself in contact with Xinji. The cooperative relationship between the two will continue through their own presence and discussion.
but…
Lorraine's only question was, how could Uncle Shui die suddenly
Thinking about it, Lorraine directly asked the other person on the phone: "Garlic, why did Uncle Shui die?" In his impression, although Uncle Shui was old, he looked relatively healthy and not like a Is there any illness in you
"Natural death, end of life."
Hearing this, Lorraine breathed a sigh of relief, but before he could think about it, he heard Suan Tou continue: "At least... that's how it looks on the surface."
"..." Upon hearing this, Lorraine fell silent again.
"The doctor's appraisal report stated that Uncle Shui died of myocardial infarction, and because he was sleeping when the disease occurred,... the doctor concluded that Uncle Shui died in his sleep, which was euthanasia in a sense." From Garlic It is not difficult to hear a hint of distress in these words.
Death in sleep
If only that were the case... that would be great.
Sighing deeply, Lorraine said: "I'm sorry to hear this. ... Garlic, I understand. I'm going to book a flight now, and I'll arrive early tomorrow morning at the latest."
"Well, okay, Mr. Luo, this is my contact information. I will keep my phone on at all times. We will talk after we meet."
"Okay, let's talk about it after we meet."
The two people's words "Let's talk after we meet" imply another level of meaning. Lorraine also vaguely realized that he might encounter some problems with hongkong, but no matter what, he had to go on this trip. .
After hanging up the phone, Lorraine took a deep breath.
At this time, Qin Wanshu gently took Lorraine's head out of the gap between her chest and asked in confusion: "Xiaolin, what's wrong? Did something happen at Hongkong?"
Lorraine nodded lightly: "Yes... Uncle Shui passed away. He was also my only collaborator in hongkong."
"Ah?" Qin Wanshu was surprised.
She knew very well that although Lorraine had reached a cooperative relationship with Xinji from Hongkong, the main contact person was Shui Bo. Lorraine did not take it seriously and was accepted as a partner by Xinji. In other words, Lorraine was not a partner that Xinji bosses would recognize for the time being.
Before, Uncle Shui could use all the human, material and financial resources of Xinji without having to say hello to anyone. This was his special "nature", so he did things and cooperated without saying hello to anyone, but this is also a double-edged sword. . Just like now that he has passed away, it will not be so easy for Lorraine in terms of hongkong.
However, Lorraine believed that everyone in Xinji should know that he was there. Since Suan Tou called him, it meant that it was necessary for him to go there. If he went, it would be a new try with Xinji. If you don't go, your network of connections will probably be cut off.
Furthermore, having Luo Lin's help and Jiang Gang's assistance at any time and anywhere will be very beneficial to the development of Xinji. Luo Lin believes that he should be accepted.
"You said on the phone just now... that you will arrive tomorrow morning at the latest?" Qin Wanshu gently stroked Lorraine's hair, and Lorraine naturally held Qin Wanshu around her waist and hugged her gently. Both of their movements were very natural. , and didn’t notice anything inappropriate.
"Well, tomorrow morning at the latest, so I need to book a flight now."
"Okay..." Although she was a little worried, Qin Wanshu had to let Lorraine work hard for her career, so he nodded gently, then released Lorraine from his arms, and then said, "I am now Just go to my office and look for the ticket booking hotline number and book a first-class ticket as soon as possible, right Xiaolin?"
Qin Wanshu had already reached the door and was about to open the door when Lorraine suddenly said: "No, book two first-class seats."
"Two?" Qin Wanshu was stunned for a moment, but she didn't ask anything. She nodded and walked out of Lorraine's office.
… …
Within five minutes, Qin Wanshu opened the door again and appeared in front of Lorraine.
"Has everything been booked?"
"Well, it's settled."
"when?"
"The flight is at ten o'clock tonight, and we will arrive at about one or two in the morning."
"Okay, Wanshu, let's go to the hospital to see my dad now. After making some arrangements, we'll leave for the airport." With that said, Lorraine stood up, and only then did he discover his left hand that had been exploded. , looking at the carefully wrapped gauze, Lorraine felt a hint of emotion in her heart.
"Well, okay, let's go buy some more supplements for uncle. This time we go to Hongkong. You don't know how long it will take to come back... Huh? No." As she said that, Qin Wanshu suddenly froze, stood still, and clicked with her high heels. On the ground at the door.
"...Xiao Lin, you mean... us?... let's go to Hongkong together?" For some reason, Qin Wanshu's heart beat obviously.
Lorraine had already turned off the lights, put on her leather jacket slightly, closed the door behind her back, and nodded naturally: "Of course you want to go with me."
"Ah? How can this work?... What should we do here in the company??" Qin Wanshu said worriedly, but in fact... she was looking forward to going to Hongkong with Lorraine. In fact, there were many times in the past when Qin Wanshu followed Lorraine on business trips to many places across the country, but this time she was going to Hongkong...
Regarding hongkong... Qin Wanshu has a more or less special concept. Why? Because... that's where Song Meiyuan gave her first time to Lorraine...
Ahem, this stinky girl Song Meiyuan tells Qin Wanshu everything.
She told Qin Wanshu everything about what happened between her and Lorraine in Hongkong. At that time, Qin Wanshu was very pleased that her best friend and the man she cared about most, Lorraine, were together, but... she was still somewhat envious and jealous.
At that time, Song Xiaoniu acted more forcefully. She saw Qin Wanshu's thoughts at that time and said directly: "Oh, Wanshu, are you jealous?... Hehe, don't worry, we have been good sisters for so many years, I won't Maybe you are so careless, everything is first come, first served, you are still Lorraine's main wife, I... can barely settle for the second wife!"
At that time, Qin Wanshu was extremely speechless at Song Meiyuan's words... But it was undeniable that... she felt a little relieved... At least, what Song Meiyuan said was from the heart, Qin Wanshu could see it.
And now... Lorraine actually asked herself to go to hongkong together. This...
"Ahem, Wanshu, what's wrong?" Lorraine couldn't help but asked in surprise, seemingly seeing Qin Wanshu's distraction and the strange emotion in her eyes.
"Huh? Ah... Oh, it's okay, it's okay..." Qin Wanshu took back her thoughts and immediately saw Lorraine's handsome face close at hand. Her face flushed and turned red. She didn't know what she thought of, but it was inexplicable. Suddenly said, "Hey, brat, what did you call me just now? Wanshu?... Is that you who called me Wanshu? How many times have you said, call me aunt!"
"Uh..." It wasn't that Lorraine didn't scream, it was because she felt that Qin Wanshu changed her face too quickly.
"Call Auntie!"
"Well... Okay, Auntie, that's not the focus of what we're talking about now..." Lorraine said helplessly.
Qin Wanshu paused and said oh, then she blinked her beautiful eyes cutely: "Yes, it seems... Where were we talking about just now?"
"..." Lorraine rolled her eyes helplessly, turned around and left, "Let's book a flight first... and then go to the hospital."
