Director Liu didn’t expect to get the best banquet hall opened by Shangri-La.
This perfectly solved all the problems and greatly surpassed the expected issue.
Fortunately, the Wade family’s Shangri-La has never put making money first,
So Issac keeps the good rooms and banquet halls in his hands,
And does not sell them to the outside world, so that they can be used as favors at critical moments.
Or solve the needs of related households.
Issac was naturally willing to give him this favor, so he said:
“Call me anytime when you are done with work, I will wait for you at Shangri-La.”
“Okay!” Director Liu said excitedly: “Thank you so much, Mr. Chen!”
“You are welcome” Issac smiled slightly and said,
“Since you still have something to do, we won’t bother you.”
Director Liu nodded, “I’m just going downstairs too.”
When the four of them arrived downstairs, a group of school leaders was already waiting there.
After Director Liu bid farewell to the three of them, he hurried over to line up with others.
Issac looked at Charlie and asked respectfully, “Master, what other arrangements do you have?”
Charlie said, “I’m fine. Take Claudia back and have a meal at Aunt Li’s new home at noon.”
Then, he said again: “By the way, Joseph and the Cataclysmic Front soldiers rescued an old lady and her only son,”
“Please contact Joseph and ask him for the old lady’s home address, I will visit her in the next few days.”
When Issac went to Mexico with Orvel,
Charlie with the help of Cataclysmic Front had wiped out the entire Crazy Juarez.
He is not very clear about the details, but his acting style is straightforward,
So he didn’t ask anything, and immediately agreed, saying:
“Okay, young master, I will Just get in touch with Joseph.”
Charlie nodded and said, “Then I’ll go first,”
“Today I’m going to have a meal at Aunt Li’s and I’ll go prepare some gifts.”
Issac immediately said: “Okay young master, I’ll report to you in the afternoon after I’ve connected with Joseph.”
“Okay.” Charlie nodded approvingly, and then said to Claudia, “Let’s go.”
Claudia nodded obediently, she sat in the co-pilot of Charlie’s BMW.
Charlie started the car and drove towards the school gate.
At the same time, a black Rolls-Royce Phantom, escorted by three Cadillacs,
Slowly drove towards the main entrance of Aurous Hill University.
Larry and his wife were sitting in the back row of the Phantom.
The driver in the car was Larry’s most trusted subordinate who had been with him for forty years.
The co-pilot was Maria.
At this time, Larry saw the banner hanging outside the school gate,
And couldn’t help but said angrily: “This old Xue!”
“I told him not to show off, why did he hang up the banner!”
As he said, looking at Maria, asked: “Miss, I’m afraid this is not safe for your identity?”
Maria smiled and said: “It’s okay, a person of your level should come to Aurous Hill generously.”
“If it’s a sneaky thing, and people know about it, it’s very tricky.”
“A person in his nineties would hide it when he came to a school where he donated a lot of money.”
“Anyone who hears about it will find it strange. I think this is fine, it looks natural.”
“But I won’t get out of the car later, you meet them first,”
“And let me know when you talk about my school, and then I will go up by myself.”
Larry agreed without hesitation, and said respectfully: “Okay, lady!”
At this time, the motorcade had already driven into the main gate of the University,
And Maria also became obviously curious at this moment,
And began to look around at the school she was about to enroll in.
At the same time, a BMW car drove over from the opposite lane,
And sitting in the front row of this car were Charlie and Claudia!
As the two cars got closer, Charlie, out of curiosity, subconsciously glanced at the opposite motorcade.
He could tell that the distinguished guests of the University should be in that Rolls Royce,
So the focus was to take a closer look at this car.
However, he didn’t have any voyeuristic desires, he just glanced at it roughly,
And because of the privacy film pasted inside the car, he could vaguely see that there were four people sitting in the car.
At this time, Maria, who was sitting in the co-pilot and was watching left and right, turned her gaze to the right.
Across the front of the Rolls-Royce, Charlie only saw that in the opposite car,
The driver was an older middle-aged man, the co-driver was a girl,
And the back seat was an elderly couple. Nothing unusual was noticed.
When the two cars passed by, the shortest distance between Charlie and Maria was only a few meters,
And even Claudia, who was sitting in the co-pilot, saw Maria’s profile.
At this moment, she only felt that the girl’s side face was so beautiful,
It was a kind of peerless classical beauty, just looking at her side face, she could feel an extraordinary aura.
It’s just that Charlie glanced at it from a distance just now, and now he has no plans to look anymore.
At this time, Claudia couldn’t help subconsciously exclaiming:
“Wow… that girl is so beautiful!”
Charlie subconsciously wanted to see what happened when he heard her words.
At this time, if he took another look at the Rolls-Royce,
He would be able to recognize Maria’s side face at a glance.
But at this critical moment, Charlie suddenly felt something jump violently in the right pocket of his trousers!
Immediately afterward, the thing seemed to have life, beating repeatedly in the pocket at a very high frequency.
This strange phenomenon made Charlie not come back to his senses.
When he subconsciously looked down into his trouser pocket,
He had already passed the Rolls Royce. The whole process only took a second or two.
He reached out and touched his trouser pocket,
And then he touched the ring that Maria gave him.
At this time, the ring was still slightly vibrating in Charlie’s hand,
But the vibration became lower and lower until it finally stopped completely.
Charlie slammed on the brakes to stop the car, looked at the ring again,
And thought to himself: “This ghost thing has been on me for so long,”
“And I have injected so much spiritual energy into it,”
“And it hardly responds. Why is it now? Why did it suddenly move?”
Claudia on the side saw Charlie stop the car and took out a ring and she frowned,
And couldn’t help asking: “Brother, what’s wrong with you?”
Charlie frowned, But he said casually: “Oh… I don’t know who put a ring in my pocket.”
Claudia hurriedly said: “Maybe sister-in-law put it?”
Charlie nodded deliberately:
“It’s also possible, I’ll go back and ask her.”
When he said this, he thought again: “It’s strange… why did the ring stop moving after a few moves?”
“Should I test it with some spiritual energy?”
Charlie thought of something, his face suddenly changed, and he thought to himself:
“Dmn, this thing is not going to deceive my spiritual energy again!”
“It knows I am unwilling, so it moved a little to arouse my curiosity, and cheat my aura further…”
Thinking of this, he hurriedly put the ring back into his pocket,
Recalling the feeling of powerlessness when his aura was emptied a few times,
He swore secretly: “Don’t worry, I won’t be fooled by you again!”
In fact, Charlie didn’t know the reason why the ring seemed to wake up,
Suddenly was actually because it sensed Maria’s existence.
This ring is not ordinary in the first place,
And it has always been Maria’s personal belongings,
And there has already been some kind of connection between it and Maria.
But Maria has no aura, so this kind of induction is one-way.
That is to say, only the ring can sense Maria,
But Maria cannot sense the existence of the ring.
Originally, Charlie had a high probability of seeing Maria,
But because of the sudden vibration of the ring,
He didn’t see Maria, and Maria didn’t see Charlie either.
But Maria, who had a good intuition, was moved by something in her heart,
At the moment when the BMW car on the left flashed by.
She immediately looked back subconsciously,
But she only saw the car that had gone away and didn’t find anything unusual.
She thought that her expression was a little too sensitive,
So she didn’t take it to heart too much.
Charlie in the BMW had put away the ring again, and said to Claudia:
“If you have nothing to do, let’s go to the city first to buy a gift before going back.”
Claudia nodded quickly: “I’m fine, whatever you say, brother.”
So, the two drove to the shopping mall in the city center.
And here, Larry’s motorcade also stopped slowly on the square outside the Academic Affairs Building.
The retired old principal of the University, together with the current school leaders, are already waiting in line here.
A number of bodyguards came down from the front and rear SUVs,
And two of them came to the back row of the Rolls-Royce,
One from the left and the other from the right, and opened the doors on both sides.
Larry and his wife got out of the car slowly.
Due to their age, the bodyguards immediately handed them walking sticks,
And Siemen Xue, the old principal of the University, was the first to greet him excitedly,
And said enthusiastically, “Mr. Qiu, welcome to Aurous Hill University again!”
Larry said with a smile: “Old Xue, you should have kept a low profile,”
“Why did you still engage in such a show?” Siemen hurriedly said:
“Mr. Qiu, you haven’t come back for so many years, this time you suddenly said you want to come over,”
I had to definitely greet you in person. Besides, you have made so much contribution to this institution.”
“The current school leadership group also admires you,”
“So they all spontaneously came to welcome you.”
“Even if I wanted to stop them. I couldn’t stop them.” Larry still knows Siemen
This person’s style of conduct is comprehensive, he can be said to be impeccable,
And he speaks very well. He even said that everyone came to greet him spontaneously after such a big show.
Affirming his responsibility, he gave Larry a big hand.
Therefore, Larry didn’t bother with this issue anymore, and just said with a smile:
“I haven’t been here for so many years. I really feel that it has changed a lot since I entered the school just now.”
“It is worthy of being a double first-class university in China. It really makes people feel special.”
Siemen nodded, and said with a smile: “Aurous Hill University can become a double first-class university,”
“It is inseparable from the support and help of the country, and it is also inseparable from Mr. Qiu’s generous donation.”
“In the 1990s, it was you who made University have enough ammunition to stand out!”
Larry said seriously: “I admit to the two points you just said,
But I think that the development of the University is inseparable from you and everyone else’s hard work!”
As he said, Larry continued: “As for me, I am just a businessman who smells like copper,”
“And I can’t help much except for donating some money.”
“But you have contributed the most to the development of the University with your whole life!”
Siemen said with a smile: “Mr. Qiu, you are really getting more and more humble.”
“I think, let’s stop flattering each other here, why don’t I take you along?”
“Take a look around, and by the way, let me introduce to you,”
“The progress and improvement that University has made compared with before!”
“We will also arrange a report meeting later,”
“So that the current management team is here to report the current work situation to you!”
Larry smiled slightly and said, “Okay, let’s take a look around first!”
Afterward, Larry and his wife, accompanied by the school leaders,
Took a sightseeing tour in the battery car around the campus.
At the same time, Maria pushed the door and walked out of the Rolls Royce,
Taking advantage of the fact that there was no school staff around.
The driver quickly pushed the door down and followed Maria silently.
Maria looked back at him, and said lightly, “I want to walk alone, you don’t have to worry about me.”
The driver hurriedly said, “Miss, the master told me to protect you, you’d better not go around alone.”
“It’s okay.” Maria smiled and said, “I’m just looking casually, I won’t go far.”
The architectural design of the University is very sophisticated overall.
Because it is the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties,
The cultural background here is very profound, so when the new campus was built,
This fully considered the local cultural characteristics of Aurous Hill,
And the overall modernity has a bit of simplicity and solemnity, which made it shine.
She walked around the campus, and suddenly saw a lush hill not far away,
And muttered to herself: “There should be Qixia Mountain… It really is better to see it…”
After that, don’t know what she thought of, those beautiful eyes were suddenly covered with a mist of sadness.
On the other side, Larry and his wife, surrounded by the crowd like stars holding the moon,
Roughly visited the campus. In the middle, Larry found an opportunity to pull the old principal Siemen aside and said:
“Old Xue, this time, I need your help.”
Siemen heard this, and quickly said: “Oh, Mr. Qiu, why are you being so polite to me!”
“This university can have such great development, we have been very grateful to you,”
“And I have always wanted to repay your kindness,”
“But I never thought that I would not have the opportunity to wait until I retire.”
“Now, if you can use me anywhere, I would like to do my best for you!”
Siemen although he is very good at talking, there is no exaggeration in these words.
He has been retired for many years, and his retirement life is full and rich,
And his children and grandchildren are also very competitive.
At his age, he no longer needs to please anyone against his will.
But he really admired and appreciated Larry from the bottom of his heart.
In that era, it was actually very rare to be able to spend so much money to help a domestic university develop and build,
And Siemen always kept it in mind.
Seeing Siemen’s sincere expression, Larry said, “Actually, it’s not a big deal.”
“It is the great-granddaughter of a distant cousin of mine.”
“She just graduated from high school in Malaysia this year.”
“Originally, her family had arranged to send her to study in the United States, but she suddenly changed her mind.”
“She came up with an idea and wanted to study in China,”
“My cousin heard that I was going to visit Aurous Hill and knew that I had some connections with University,”
“So he wanted me to contact someone to see if University could accept her.”
Siemen asked in surprise: “Mr. Qiu, this is what you are talking about?”
“Yes.” Larry nodded, “I hope she can come to University to study as an undergraduate.”
“This matter is on me, and I will talk to the people, this kind of thing is just a matter of little effort.”
Larry smiled slightly and said: “That’s good, so I can do business when I go back.”
Siemen hurriedly asked, “When is the child going to come over?”
Larry said, “She’s already here. She didn’t get off the car just now.”
“This little girl is rather withdrawn and doesn’t like places with many people.”
“Understood.” Siemen nodded and spoke: “Well,”
“Let’s go back to the Academic Affairs Building after the visit, and settle the child’s schooling first.”
“Okay!” Larry said with a smile: “Then it’s hard work for you to arrange it!”
Maria looked at Qixia Mountain for a long time, the whole person has been in a trance,
Until she suddenly received a message on her mobile phone, which brought her thoughts back to reality.
She turned on the phone and saw that the message was from Larry, which read:
“Miss, please move to the Admissions Office on the fourth floor of the Academic Affairs Building.”
“I will wait for you in the director’s office.”
“Okay,” Maria replied, and then glancing at the Mountain, she turned and went back to the Academic Affairs Building.
She walked lightly all the way to the fourth floor, found Director Liu’s office,
Knocked on the door, but didn’t hear anyone speak, and saw a middle-aged man open the door courteously.
The person who has been guarding the door is the owner of this office, Director Liu.
Interestingly, at this moment, Director Liu stood nervously at the door like a follower.
And on the sofa that Charlie had just sat on, sitting at this time were Larry and his wife,
The old principal Siemen, and the current principal Obrien Zhang.
Seeing Maria coming in, Larry said with a smile: “Come on, let me introduce you,”
“This is the great-granddaughter of my cousin from afar, Cathy Lin.”
After finishing speaking, he said to Maria: “Cathy, come to meet Principal Xue,”
“Principal Zhang, and Director Liu of the Admissions Office.”
Cathy just looked at the three and nodded slightly, without speaking.
Fortunately, Larry had talked to everyone just now,
Saying that Maria was withdrawn and not talkative, so everyone didn’t mind it.
The current principal, Obrien, said enthusiastically:
“Miss Lin, I asked Director Liu to prepare the introductions of all the departments and majors of our University.”
“You can go over them first to see which subjects you are interested in.”
It smells of the aloofness and superciliousness of the eldest daughter of a rich family.
But Larry’s background is too big after all, and his great-granddaughter,
From afar must not be worth much money, so everyone preconceived and understood her state very well.
Director Liu hurriedly handed all the materials that Claudia had read just now to Maria,
And said with a smile: “Miss Lin, the materials are all here. I just sorted them out today, please have a look.”
Obrien couldn’t help but Admired: “Our director of the admissions office is very conscientious, and the materials have been collected early.”
Director Liu smiled modestly, thanked Issac in his heart, and thought to himself:
“These two batches of admissions Foreign students, it’s really a coincidence,”
“If Mr. Chen didn’t come first, I’m afraid it would have taken me some time to sort out these materials temporarily.”
Maria took the materials and quickly looked through them,
She was actually not interested in going to school And was not sure how long she can stay in Aurous Hill.
However, since she chose to study at University as a student, she must choose a major.
Maria looked it up and found that it was only a subject of history, which she was somewhat interested in.
Considering that she hasn’t always loved blue and white porcelain,
She pulled out the introduction page of the archeology major and said lightly, “That’s it.”
When Director Liu saw it, his eyes widened, and he blurted out in surprise:
“Another archeology student?! This year’s archeology seems that the major is about to change…”
Maria frowned at him, and asked, “Where does ‘again’ come from?”
Director Liu said sincerely, “To tell you the truth, Miss Lin, a few minutes before you came,”
“I had just accepted an international student from Canada, also a girl,”
“So she chose to major in archeology… I persuaded her at the time that archeology major is really unpopular,”
“And employment will be a big problem in the future, but she didn’t care at all. She resolutely chose this major…”
“Now you also want to choose this major. With you two in the Department of Archeology in the future,”
“I think the Department of Archeology is going to become the focus of the whole school…”
Director Liu brought Claudia’s application form over, and handed it to Maria graciously:
“Miss Lin, look, this is the girl. Both of you are from overseas.”
“If you feel speculative, you can get in touch with each other after school starts. Maybe you can become friends.”
Maria cast a glance, smiled, shook her head, and said, “No need, I don’t like making friends very much.”
“Oh, that’s fine…” Director Liu laughed and took Claudia’s application form back.
Maria suddenly saw something at this moment, and blurted out, “Wait a minute!”
Director Liu was taken aback when he heard Maria’s words,
And quickly asked her: “Miss Lin, what’s the matter?”
Maria pointed to the application form in his hand, and said, “Can you show me?”
Director Liu said without hesitation: “Of course!”
Then he handed the application form to Maria, but he was slandering in his heart:
“I wanted to show it to you just now, but you said no need…”
“Young people at this age are really quick to Change minds.”
Maria took Claudia’s application form, her eyes seemed to be browsing her personal information,
But her peripheral vision and attention were all focused on the emergency contact column.
In the space in that column, there is this name lingering on her mind all this time, Charlie Wade!
In addition to the two words Charlie Wade, there is also a string of 11 digits.
Maria knew that this must be Charlie’s phone number in China.
At this time, she felt that her breathing suddenly became rapid, and her heartbeat speed also increased a lot.
It was the first time that she, who had always been poised and calm like a virgin,
Felt such a sense of excitement and tension. There seemed to be fine beads of sweat in her tender palms.
At this moment, she didn’t know if this Charlie was the Charlie she was looking for.
However, she felt that when she saw Charlie’s name when she first arrived in Aurous Hill,
She seemed to be divinely assisted or destined.
Therefore, her intuition could almost conclude that this Charlie Wade should be the Charlie Wade she was looking for!
So, she immediately memorized Charlie’s cell phone number and quickly tried to recite it a few times.
After confirming that she had memorized the eleven digits by heart, she wrote down Claudia’s mailing address.
Afterward, she returned the form to Director Liu without showing any signs of expression, and said casually:
“The same person left her hometown to study in Aurous Hill, so a reason to be friends.”
Then, she asked Director Liu: “Does this girl live on campus?”
Director Liu hurriedly said: “She should be able to live on campus,”
“But most of the time she should be a day student.”
“She has relatives in Aurous Hill, and she should usually live at her relatives’ home.”
“Understood.” Maria said, glanced at Larry, and said: “My cousin’s great-grandfather has real estate in Aurous Hill,”
“But I probably won’t bother him often,”
“Why don’t you also set up a room for me, and it will be more flexible in the future.”
Director Liu said with a smile: “Yes! It’s better to live on campus. Be flexible,”
“The dormitories of our foreign students are two-person rooms,”
“Why don’t I put you and this girl in the same dormitory?”
“Originally, you and she have the same majors, and the order of registration is next to each other.”
“Under normal circumstances, I will arrange them together.”
“No problem.” Maria readily agreed, and said with a smile, “Then it’s settled.”
After that, she remembered something, and said again:
“Oh, by the way, please don’t tell this girl, I read her information and planned to live in a dormitory with her.”
“If it gets to other people’s ears, they may think that I have other plans,”
“And it may not be natural to make friends with her in the future.”
The director and other people quickly agreed.
After all, this is Larry’s distant great-granddaughter.
She was able to come to Aurous Hill with Larry and he personally entrusts her to the school.
Everyone attached great importance to her. Since she said it, everyone would naturally respect her meaning.
Maria finally breathed a sigh of relief, she smiled slightly, and said to several people:
“You people can talk, I’ll go down and take a look around first.”
Then, she said to Larry: “Grandpa, if there is nothing else, I will go down.”
Larry instinctively wanted to stand up and send her off,
But fortunately, the wife at the side gently tugged at the hem of his clothes,
And he finally came to his senses, and hurriedly said: “Okay, then you can go down first.”
Maria nodded, then turned and went out the door.
After leaving the office, the corners of Maria’s mouth immediately turned to the sides,
And two shallow dimples appeared on her face, which was extremely beautiful.
But she was thinking in her heart, about how to do the final verification,
Then finally confirm that the Charlie Wade on the application form is the Charlie Wade she wanted to find.
She thought to herself: “The best way is to call Charlie and listen to his voice.”
“I still remember his voice. As long as he speaks, I will recognize him.”
However, she dared not Call herself, if she calls herself, maybe Charlie will recognize her voice.
However, if she calls and doesn’t speak, it sounds feasible,
But it will seem a little weird. If Charlie thinks about it one step further, he may figure out something unusual.
So, after thinking about it, she felt that she should find another person to call Charlie,
And make up a set of reasonable excuses so that he would not have any doubts after answering the call.
So, she hurried downstairs, and in the motorcade,
She found the housekeeper of the Qiu family who had picked her up at the airport.
This housekeeper has been helping Larry take care of his manor here in Aurous Hill.
Because Larry’s wife grew up in Aurous Hill and has a deep affection for this place,
She specially selected one from the Malaysian housekeeper team for the job.
Maria had seen the face of the housekeeper, she is a loyal and honest person.
So, she went directly to the housekeeper and said, “Sister Xian, can you do me a favor?”
Sister Xian is a middle-aged woman in her fifties.
Working in the Qiu family, she is still single and in her fifties.
It is said that when she and her family experienced turmoil in Southeast Asia,
The family almost died in a foreign land. It was Larry who brought the family of four to Malaysia,
And gave them a stable life and work. Therefore, Sister Xian’s parents and her younger sister,
Are all very sincere to the Qiu family, and her younger sister is also working for the Qiu family now.
Seeing that Maria asked for help, the housekeeper hurriedly said respectfully:
“Miss Lin, if you have anything to do, just tell me!”
Maria asked her: “You should have a local mobile phone number in Aurous Hill, right?”
Sister Xian hurriedly said: “I have a local Aurous Hill SIM card and a Malaysian SIM card in the mobile phone.”
Maria nodded, and said: “That’s great, you can use Aurous Hill’s mobile phone number to make a call for me,”
“And after the call is connected, tell the person that you are about to go out,”
“And ask him to drop the documents at the property center,”
“He will definitely tell you that you made a wrong call,”
“So you just say sorry that you may have entered the wrong number, and then just hang up the phone.”
“Okay.” Although Sister Xian didn’t understand Maria’s intentions, she nodded respectfully,
Then took out her mobile phone and said to Maria: “Miss Lin, tell me the number.”
Maria took the phone and entered Charlie’s phone number on it.
Then, he returned the phone to Sister Xian.
Sister Xian took the phone and pressed the dial button.
After hearing two notification tones, Charlie’s voice came from the phone: “Hello. Hello”
Just these two words made Maria’s dark eyes instantly flashed with a different look.
It was these three words that made her sure that,
It was Charlie who saved her life in Northern Europe on the other end of the phone!
Charlie on the other end of the phone had just bought some aromatherapy for Aunt Li and the others to put in their new home.
It is originally to celebrate the housewarming,
So the gifts selected are generally some suitable souvenirs for the new home.
Aromatherapy is something that women like the most, so Charlie chose some high-end aromatherapy as gifts.
He suddenly received a call from a local stranger, and he didn’t think much about it.
He connected normally and responded to it with his usual habits.
Sister Xian’s voice came from the opposite side:
“Hello, yeah, I’m going out now, and I may not be able to wait for your delivery.”
“Please put my courier in the property center, and I will pick it up when I come back.”
Charlie said casually: “I’m sorry, you may have dialed the wrong number.”
“Ah?” Sister Xian exclaimed, and said, “Let me take a look…”
“Oh, I’m sorry, I really made a wrong call. I’m sorry to bother you!”
“It’s okay. “Charlie didn’t say much, and then hung up the phone.
It’s common to make wrong calls, and the other party’s words are very close to life, which really didn’t make him suspicious.
But at this moment, Maria has completely confirmed Charlie’s identity.
She didn’t expect that after she came to China from Northern Europe, everything would go so smoothly!
After a trip to Eastcliff, she found out Charlie’s true identity,
And then made the decision to come to Aurous Hill to try her luck;
And when she first arrived in Aurous Hill, she found Charlie’s phone number,
And confirmed that he is an Aurous Hill local,
And he even has a close relationship with a future classmate of hers!
Maria couldn’t help thinking of the contact address left by Claudia.
If she looks for it according to that address,
Although she may not be able to find Charlie, she will definitely be able to find Claudia.
After finding Claudia, Charlie is not far away!
Maria repeated the video in her mind, she was so excited that she almost jumped up.
However, she didn’t make the next move immediately,
But returned to the Rolls Royce alone, sat in the co-pilot, thinking about her next plan.
She muttered to herself: “Although Charlie is close at hand,”
“I can’t go to him immediately, let alone appear in front of him now.”
“The most natural way right now is not to meet him yet,”
“Wait patiently until the start of school, after the start of school,”
“Get to know Claudia and become friends, and then find an opportunity through her to meet him for the second time.”
“I have already prepared the identity of Cathy and the background,”
“A series of foreshadowing and preparations for coming to Aurous Hill to go to school have been completed,”
“If Claudia and I can become friends, even if Charlie suspects,”
“That I have ulterior motives, he can’t find any substantive evidence.”
Thinking of this, She breathed a sigh of relief, and muttered happily:
“It’s just right, I’ve wanted to come to Aurous Hill for a long time,”
“But I haven’t had a chance. I can take advantage of this free time to visit the places of interest here.”
At this moment, suddenly, her cell phone rang,
And the caller ID showed that the caller was Ethan who was far away in Eastcliff.
So she connected the phone, and Ethan’s voice came from the other end of the phone:
“Miss, have you reached Aurous Hill?”
“When do you think it would be appropriate for me to come over?”
“Anytime.” Maria knew what he was thinking, and the divination showed that his life expectancy was at most half a year,
And his only chance at life was in Aurous Hill,
So although he didn’t say it, he must be very urgent in his heart to find that ray of life.
Ethan heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the word “any time” and said respectfully:
“Miss, if this is the case, then I will set off for Aurous Hill to meet you later, and meet Larry by the way.”
Maria said: “Okay, before taking off, tell Larry to send someone to pick you up at the airport.”
“Okay.” Ethan said, “I’ve sorted out some local relationships in Aurous Hill.”
“Although some people have retired, they always kept their promises in Aurous Hill back then.”
“Then let them help to investigate the Charlie you are looking for!”
Maria smiled and said: “No need, I’ve already found him.”
“What?!” Ethan asked in horror: “You found him?! So fast?!”
“Yes.” Maria said seriously: “Life is like this, as long as you make a few key choices right,”
“You can make a fortune while lying down, and it’s the same when you find someone.”
Then, Maria said: “Today’s experience is more interesting, and I will tell you when you arrive.”
“Okay!” Ethan said hastily: “Then I’m ready to leave!”
Afterward, Maria didn’t get out of the car again.
And Larry and his wife didn’t delay too long.
After chatting with the school leaders for half an hour,
They got up and left the teaching administration building on the pretext that they couldn’t take it anymore.
Afterward, the couple returned to the car surrounded by the crowd,
And the convoy slowly drove out of the University and headed for Zijin Mountain.
Zijin Mountain covers an area of more than 30 square kilometers.
It is shaped like a nearly round stone with rough corners.
The distance between north and south and east to west is about six kilometers.
The southern half of Zijin Mountain is a 5A-level scenic spot, while the northern half is mostly closed.
Larry’s manor is located on one of the mountains hundreds of meters above sea level in the northern half.
Being able to have a manor that is completely his own in this kind of place is,
Entirely because Larry took the early opportunity to invest in the mainland.
At that time, he was willing to invest and donate huge amounts of money to the mainland,
And Aurous Hill also gave him very high praise.
Standard return, like this kind of manor, there is only one such manor in Aurous Hill in the past 20 or 30 years.
The convoy enters the mountain from the inner passage in the north of Zijin Mountain.
From the foot of the mountain, it is already a controlled area where tourists stop, so it is very quiet here.
When she passed the Panshan Road and reached the top of the mountain,
Maria saw the archway made of white marble, with large characters engraved on it: Zijin Villa.
Even she couldn’t help marveling at the grandeur and majesty of this manor.
Although it is not as exaggerated as those castles in Europe,
It can give people a sense of escape from the world when they want to be enlightened and far away from the hustle and bustle.
You know, it is only a few kilometers away from the most prosperous business district in Aurous Hill.
It is extremely rare to be able to find a sense of escapism in this kind of place.
Moreover, the entire manor is full of towering old trees and various plants,
Which are full of flowers and leaves in summer.
From a distance, it is not even possible to see that there is such a large-scale private manor hidden here.
The design of the entire manor incorporates the style of Gusu gardens.
Moreover, since the terrain of the mountain is gradually rising,
The architectural structure of the manor is also continuously improved.
It is divided into three layers like a cake, and the bottom layer is the largest.
It is a square with a side length of more than 100 meters, covering an area of at least 10,000 to 20,000 square meters.
The area of the second floor is much smaller, with a side length of about 50 meters, covering an area of about 3,000 square meters.
On the top of the mountain, there is a small courtyard of blue bricks and stone tiles.
The side length of this small courtyard is only more than 20 meters, and it is more than 400 square meters.
There are three tile-roofed houses, two short and one high.
Ordinary single-story tile-roofed houses, while tall ones have two floors.
In addition, there is a small courtyard with an area of about 100 square meters that is completely paved with natural bluestone.
Larry said to Maria: “Miss, don’t look at the size of my manor.”
“The real essence is the small, unremarkable courtyard at the top. If you don’t mind, you can live there for the time being!”
Maria looked up. Looking at the small courtyard on the top floor that is at least 20 to 30 meters high,
Although she hasn’t gone up to see it, she said with fascination:
“If I knew you had such a good manor, I would never go to Northern Europe…”
But just said After that, she shook her head again, and said firmly and fortunately:
“Fortunately, I didn’t know this place earlier, so I went to Northern Europe!”
“It was such an experience, if I hadn’t come out of it, it would have been my last”
“Now that I am out, it is just a new beginning.”
After sighing, Maria, accompanied by Sister Xian, climbed to the highest courtyard.
When she stepped into this courtyard, she realized that it was more pleasing than she had just imagined.
The bricks, tiles, plants, and trees here are actually very elegant,
And the bluestone ground of the courtyard even grows patches of moss.
In the corner of the courtyard, there is also an exquisitely designed outdoor hot spring pool.
The rockery beside the pool is lifelike, and many bonsai plants are planted,
Which looks like a miniature real mountain.
Sister Xian followed and introduced to her: “Miss Lin,”
“This hot spring pool is connected with the natural hot spring water of Aurous Hill.”
“The hot spring water is transported up the mountain from the underground pipeline.”
“There will be a little loss of heat in the pipeline,”
“But we have secondary heating equipment in the equipment room below,”
“Which can ensure that the heated hot spring water can be used outdoors even in the coldest winter season.”
Maria asked in surprise “There are natural hot springs in Aurous Hill?”
“Yes.” Sister Xian nodded and said seriously: “It has moderate sulfur content, high mineral content, and good water quality.”
“At the beginning, the master especially led a pipeline here for the lady,”
“But the uppermost courtyard has never been used,”
“And the couple is old now, so they only live on the bottom floor every time they come.”
Maria nodded lightly. Nodding, she said again: “I want to go and have a look inside the room.”
Sister Xian hurriedly said: “Miss, please come this way!”
After finishing speaking, she led Maria to the door of the three tile-roofed houses.
From a distance, it looks like three rooms, one tall and two short,
But in fact, the main entrance is in that two-story tile-roofed house,
And the two rooms on the left and right are rooms with doors that open inward.
After entering the door, you can see that it is actually a very elegant and simple suite.
The first floor of the high-tile house is the entrance hall, which can also be regarded as the living room.
The area is about 60 square meters. To the left, it is pure Chinese style.
The study room and dining room, to the right, is a western-style structure, with a Chinese-style bathroom, and cloakroom.
The only bedroom is on the second floor of the high-tile house.
After going up the pure solid wood stairs, you can see the exquisite internal structure and design of the second floor.
All the furniture is made of high-quality huanghuali wood, and the craftsmanship is exceptional.
Exquisite, it immediately hit Maria’s aesthetic likings.
Since the second floor also has an area of more than 60 square meters,
This bedroom can be regarded as surprisingly large.
There are two circular windows on the south and north sides.
The south side is a couch for reading, and the north side is a bed.
A desk with pen, ink, paper, and inkstone. Sister Xian said to her from the side:
“Since it was built, it has been kept in this state.”
“The master asked us to clean and maintain it every day.”
“The windows should be clear and clean without any dust.”
“Later, we remodeled the hidden air conditioner and fresh air on the roof.”
“There is also a constant humidity system to ensure that the dust from the outside is isolated as much as possible,”
“So as to prevent the furniture from becoming moldy and hairy and producing peculiar smells due to excessive humidity.”
