In the living room, after Jemima and Maria sat down, Maria asked her curiously:
“Sister Jemima, why did you choose to develop in Aurous Hill from Hong Kong?”
“There is still a big gap between the first-tier international cities and the second-tier cities in the Mainland.”
Jemima smiled slightly. The set of rhetoric she said to Sister Xian was nothing more than that,
Hong Kong was too fast-paced, with too many people and too little land,
And the city’s resources were severely squeezed.
The overall feeling was that life in second-tier cities in the Mainland was inferior but more comfortable.
Maria nodded in agreement after listening, but she didn’t think so at all in her heart.
She felt that Jemima’s remarks sounded right at first glance.
Hong Kong, a first-tier international city, naturally has a slow pace,
And it is true that Hong Kong has a lot of people and a lot of lands.
Many people work hard all their lives and can’t afford a set of a small houses of 40 square meters,
So many young people from Hong Kong have gradually started to develop in the mainland,
Especially the special zone adjacent to Hong Kong, which has attracted many young people from Hong Kong.
However, Maria is also very clear that Hong Kong is a place where heaven and hell coexist.
There, it is normal for a poor family of six or seven to squeeze into a ten-square-meter room,
And some people even live in places where there is not even room for a bed.
However, also in Hong Kong, the top rich can build super luxury houses,
That look like palaces on the mountainside of the bay,
And live in luxury flats with hundreds of thousands of square meters on skyscrapers.
Over the past few decades, Hong Kong has been a paradise for the rich.
Jemima’s family is extremely wealthy.
The pace of Hong Kong’s progress, the size of the population,
And the amount of land has almost nothing to do with her.
Her reason is like a top rich man declaring that he decided to leave the United States,
Because of the poor law and order in the United States and frequent shootings.
At first glance, this reason does not seem to be a problem at all.
But thinking about it a bit deeper, this line of argument is not relevant to her as she belongs to a rich family.
Therefore, Maria concluded that there must be other reasons for Jemima’s visit to Aurous Hill.
Maria’s thinking logic is that rationality must be considered first in everything,
And once this matter goes against common sense, there must be the words:
There must be demons when things go wrong.
Moreover, just like multiplication, the larger the base and multiple,
The larger the result will naturally be, and vice versa.
If the result is large, the base and multiple will not be small.
Therefore, Maria couldn’t help thinking to herself:
“Jemima is a wealthy daughter with a family fortune of hundreds of billions,”
“If she can make such an abnormal behavior with a wealthy daughter of hundreds of billions,”
“Then this “monster” is definitely not an ordinary “monster”. , must be a big monster…”
“This basic logic is also applicable to me.”
“I will come here not really because I like it, or the kind of relationship my ancestors have with this place,”
“But because it is hidden here, a big monster, that monster is Charlie!”
Thinking of this, Maria frowned and said inwardly:
“On the bright side, there are almost no ‘monsters’ who can be worthy of Jemima’s identity,”
“Could it be… she is also here for Charlie?”
Maria thought to this point, and when she looked at Jemima,
She suddenly laughed and teased: “Sister Jemima, I think you came to Aurous Hill from Hong Kong this far,”
“It doesn’t look like you are looking for a job!”
Jemima asked in surprise: “Why do you say that?”
Maria said with a narrow smile: “It feels more like you’re desperate to pursue your sweetheart.”
Maria’s seemingly joking words pierced Jemima’s heart at once, she was a little flustered immediately,
But hurriedly said in a secretive way: “How…how could it be…I have never been to Aurous Hill, and I don’t have any acquaintances here, let alone a sweetheart.”
Although Jemima hurriedly covered it up, the panic in her expression was already there. It has been accurately captured by Maria.
It was this slight change that made Maria more sure that her judgment was definitely correct.
Combined with Jemima’s identity, besides Charlie, who else could make a rich young lady like her let go of her reserve and chase him all the way from Hong Kong to Aurous Hill?
However, Maria understands human nature very well, knowing that at this time, since Jemima is a little flustered, she must stop in moderation, borrowing a sentence from the art of war,
That is, the poor should not be chased. So she immediately changed the topic, and said with a smile: “I saw that you are so beautiful, Sister Jemima, so I purposely made fun of you!”
Afraid that someone will see what’s going on. From her point of view, although she loves Charlie deeply, Charlie is a married man after all.
Even if she chases him in Aurous Hill, she must never tell other people about her feelings. It is impossible for others to guess the clues.
However, she did not expect that Maria would suddenly shoot another carbine at this time, and said to her: “Sister Jemima’s family background is so good, and she is so outstanding.”
“In Hong Kong, I am afraid that even the young talents who pursue you will not be able to pick you. Come on, how can you have a crush on men from Aurous Hill?”
Maria’s move was based on retreat, and she immediately touched Jemima’s deep love for Charlie. She blurted out almost without thinking:
“It’s not so absolute. Although Hong Kong is much more developed than Aurous Hill, men in Aurous Hill may not be worse than Hong Kong.”
In Maria’s eyes, Jemima was subconsciously defending Charlie.
If you really like a person, you will naturally defend everything related to him, not only not allowing others to say that he is not good but even not allowing others to say that the city he lives in is not good.
Jemima has such a mentality at the moment. She feels that Maria should not think that Hong Kong is better than Aurous Hill in every way, because in Hong Kong she will never find a man like Charlie, so she must clarify her position on this point.
However, she didn’t know that Maria had led her around by the nose several times.
At this moment, Maria smiled sweetly, and said with an apologetic expression:
“Sister Jemima is right, my way of understanding and looking at the problem is too one-sided.”
Seeing Maria’s innocent and lovely appearance in front of Jemima, Larry was horrified. At the same time,
He couldn’t help thinking to himself: “Miss has never behaved like this before. Is this intentional to test Jemima? It’s a pity that Jemima can’t see it at all.”
At this time, the old lady Qiu walked along the two sides. People talked about the topic just now, and sighed: “Jemima, you are too old, it’s time to find a boyfriend and talk about marriage.”
“The best time for a woman is the golden ten years from 18 to 28 years old. It’s too late to regret it.”
Jemima stammered and said: “Grandma, I just graduated and I’m looking for a job, so I don’t care about finding a boyfriend, let’s talk about it after everything settles down.”
The old lady nodded, and sighed: “Grandma is afraid that you will waste too much time.”
She then asked, “What kind of boy do you like? Grandma will help you find one!”
Jemima said hastily: “No need, Grandma, I think this kind of thing has to be encountered slowly. If you don’t encounter it, it means that fate has not come. If you wait, there will always be a chance.”
Seeing her firm attitude, the old lady sighed softly and nodded.
After lunch, Jemima sat in Zijin Villa for a while, and then, accompanied by Sister Xian, drove to Aurous Hill University for the interview.
Maria smiled like a flower and sent Jemima into the car. After the car walked out of the gate of Zijin Villa, when she turned around, she had already shed her innocent smile and returned to her usual calmness.
Larry followed behind, and said respectfully: “Miss, I have a question, dare to ask you…”
Larry saw that Maria had been going after Jemima, so he was a little puzzled, wondering why Maria did this.
Maria knew what he wanted to ask, so she just said indifferently:
“Go and find out if Jemima and Charlie have met in the past, and you will know why.”
“Charlie?!” Larry asked in surprise: “Miss, It means that Jemima came to Aurous Hill because of Charlie?”
Maria nodded, and said calmly: “I guess so, although I have 99% certainty in my heart,”
“I don’t dare to be 100% sure, I guess Jemima and Charlie must have crossed paths.”
Speaking of this, she thought of something, and said, “Since Jemima came to Aurous Hill for the first time,”
“You can ask Ethan to check Charlie’s current entry and exit records. See if he has been to Hong Kong, and if he has, check to see if he has had any contact with Jemima when he went to Hong Kong.”
As she spoke, Maria asked curiously: “By the way, where is Old Sun? I didn’t see him for dinner.”
Larry said: “He slept in his room, he said he didn’t want to meet strangers, and his identity is very sensitive, he didn’t want people to know that he was in Aurous Hill.”
Maria hummed, and said, “Let him check it out, I’m also curious, and tell me the result.”
“Okay.”
Right now, Charlie, in front of Maria, no longer had the best disguise.
His current identity information has been mastered by her and coupled with Ethan’s special identity and background, it is easy to check Charlie’s entry and exit records at customs.
Soon, Ethan found out the entry records left by Charlie at the Hong Kong Customs when he went to Hong Kong before.
Later, he asked people to check the surveillance video of the airport.
Because the entry record has the entry time accurate to the second, and there is also a clear entry channel window number, so it is easy to find the monitoring of Charlie’s entry into Hong Kong that day.
Since the public areas of the airport are all 360-degree surveillance without blind spots, it is easy to find the scene of Charlie walking out of the airport exit and Gerard and his wife respectfully welcoming him.
When Larry saw these video materials, he admired Maria completely.
He really couldn’t figure it out. He was there the whole time Jemima came here today. She didn’t reveal any information about Charlie and didn’t even say a word about him. How did Maria guess that she was here for Charlie? Now, how did she guess that the two had crossed paths in Hong Kong?
When Larry reported the information he found to Maria full of doubts, Maria was not surprised at all.
She just said with a half-smile: “This Charlie is obviously married, and he is still messing around everywhere. When he goes to Hong Kong, he makes Jemima come all the way to Aurous Hill.”
“If he goes to other places, he will probably do the same.” Take away the souls of one or two little girls, if you dig out his itinerary in the past few years, maybe you can find a lot of infatuated women.”
Larry smiled awkwardly, and sighed: “Just It can be said that this kid is very charming, but Jemima likes him as a married man, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to cultivate in the future…”
Maria smiled slightly, thinking of something, and then asked Larry: “Can you check on Charlie? The last time he went to Hong Kong to meet Gerard, what was his identity and what did he do?”
“It’s easy.” Larry nodded and said, “I’ll call Gerard and ask.”
“No!” Maria stopped him, and said: “Since Jemima’s father knows Charlie, he must also know that the real purpose of his daughter’s visit to Aurous Hill this time is for Charlie, and he also knows that his daughter just had lunch with you,”
“If you suddenly call him at this time and ask him about things related to Charlie, you will definitely arouse his suspicion, and if he talks to Jemima later, it will be difficult for us to explain the motive.”
Larry said annoyedly: “I’m so stupid that I didn’t consider the stakes carefully. I’m so ashamed…”
“It’s okay.” Maria said flatly, “I’m sorry I didn’t explain it clearly to you. The premise of investigating this matter is that it cannot be exposed.”
As she spoke, she also said: “To investigate this matter we need to be careful. You can’t ask him directly, and you can’t ask people around him or people who have intersections with him. It’s best to find a controllable intermediary to inquire about it.”
Larry thought for a while and said: “This is easy to handle. One of my former subordinates is related to Gerard’s housekeeper. Later, he left me on the surface and returned to Hong Kong to develop, but in fact, it was me.”
“I secretly funded him to do things for me in Hong Kong, I will let him ask, the two of them are relatives, so they should be easy to talk to.”
“Okay.” Maria nodded, and then said: “By the way, tell Ethan again, I want Charlie’s current identity, and let him adjust all the entry and exit records for the past two years. Make a list and send it to me.”
“Okay, miss!”
…
Ten minutes later.
Together with Ethan, Larry came to Maria with a piece of printed paper.
Standing in front of her, Larry said respectfully: “Miss, I have almost done the investigation that you asked me to do.”
Maria nodded: “Tell me.”
Larry said: “First of all, Charlie went to Hong Kong to meet his family. As for the matter, what I found out was that Charlie was an executive of ISU Shipping Group at that time.”
“Gerard had always wanted to cooperate deeply with ISU Shipping, so ISU Shipping sent Charlie to go with him. Interview and investigate his situation.”
“ISU Shipping?” Maria frowned and asked, “What is the background of this company? With Charlie’s identity and strength, I don’t believe he will hold an executive position in any company,”
Larry hurriedly said: “ISU Shipping has a lot of background. This is an ocean shipping group jointly operated by the Japanese Ito family and the Chinese Su family.”
“Since the two companies already have very strong strength in ocean shipping, they merged into one. After that, it became a giant in the shipping field.”
“The Su family and the Ito family…” Maria pursed her lips and thought, “I have heard of these two families, one is the most powerful family in China,”
“One is the most powerful family in Japan. There is nothing strange about the combination of these two parties in the business field,”
“But the strange thing is, why did Charlie go to see Gerard as an executive of this company? It is absolutely impossible to work for such a shipping company.”
Ethan interrupted at this time: “Miss, there is another relationship, which is even more strange.”
Maria asked him: “What is the relationship, tell me.”
Ethan explained: “That’s right, the Su family and the Wade family have been fighting openly and secretly for so many years, and the troubles in the early years were very unpleasant. Even the Su family took the lead in forming an anti-Wade alliance back then, just to fight with the Wade family.”
“Contrary to each other, until Changying and his wife died unexpectedly, and the Wade family’s vitality was seriously injured,”
“The Su family became the most powerful family in China, and it has been dominating the Wade family. I understand, how could Charlie help ISU Shipping…”
Maria shook her head and said, “Your thinking is wrong. It’s not how Charlie can help ISU Shipping, but whether ISU Shipping is working for Charlie.”
Neither Larry nor Ethan can understand the meaning of Charlie’s mastery of spiritual energy.
But Maria deeply understood that with Charlie’s strength and the courage to fight, it is impossible for any company in this world to order him.
So, after confirming this view, and then analyzing why Charlie went to see Gerard as an executive of ISU Shipping, the conclusion she can draw is that there is a high probability that ISU Shipping has a deeper connection with Charlie.
Because most of Larry’s industries are located in Singapore and Malaysia, he has a good understanding of the current situation of the shipping market. He said at this time: “By the way, Miss, the origin of ISU Shipping is really not simple. I don’t know why. They have a very close relationship with Cataclysmic Front.”
“Now Cataclysmic Front has set up an armed escort company, which almost monopolizes the commercial escort share of the entire Gulf of Aden. With the protection of Cataclysmic Front, the ships of ISU Shipping are like entering the entire Gulf of Aden’s man’s land, no pirates dare to touch their bad luck!”
“Cataclysmic Front?!” Maria frowned, muttering, “This is a famous mercenary organization. In the past, it only cooperated with governments and local warlords. How can it be deeply bound with a company?”
Ethan frowned suddenly and murmured: “This person is old, and his brain is really not enough. I just remembered a very important thing, which is related to Cataclysmic Front.”
Maria raised her head and said eagerly, “Tell me!”
Ethan said, “The Su family has a deep relationship with Cataclysmic Front. The subordinates who guard the way, and the Su family has always wanted to completely destroy the Wade family.”
“Some time ago, they joined hands with Joseph to attack Waderest, the ancestral grave of the Wade family,”
“And wanted to level the ancestral grave of the Wade family. The Wade family ceded half of the family property in order to save their lives. To the Cataclysmic Front, this is barely escaped…”
“How is that possible!” Maria said almost without thinking: “With Charlie here, how could the Wade family lose?”
Ethan said subconsciously: “But the Wade family did lose… Almost everyone in the whole country knows about this matter…”
Maria shook her head and said: “Impossible, as long as Charlie was there on the Mountain that day, It is absolutely impossible for everyone to lose.”
Ethan said: “Maybe Charlie was really not there that day…”
“Impossible.” Maria said again: “As you said since Waderest Mountain is the grave of the Wade family’s ancestors, Charlie’s Parents must be buried there,”
“And Charlie even dared to attack Joseph in order to avenge his parents, Cataclysmic Front wants to level his parents’ tomb, how could he not go?”
“This…” Ethan suddenly fell into deep thought.
He was also a little confused by this series of inferences.
Maria muttered at this time: “The Su family has a relationship with the Cataclysmic Front, and the Su family and the Ito family jointly launched the ISU Shipping.”
“These seem to be all right, but the problem is that the Su family and the Cataclysmic Front want to shovel the leaves. Family ancestral grave, why did Charlie go to meet Gerard in Hong Kong as an executive of ISU Shipping?!”
“It’s like the three Axis countries during World War II. It doesn’t matter how they form an alliance or cooperate with each other, but the United States was fighting them to the death,”
“How could it suddenly shake hands with them? So, I want to know, what resolved the hatred between Charlie, the Su family, and Cataclysmic Front?”
Ethan and Larry also looked at each other in dismay.
The Su family, Wade family, Cataclysmic Front, Ito family, and Charlie, the relationship between them seem to be intricate, and difficult to discern the truth.
At this time, Maria said again: “Hate will not disappear without a reason. The disappearance of hatred must be caused by one party conquering the other.”
“It is like the United States dropped two atomic bombs on Japan in 1945, but Japan ended up becoming the country where the United States is in.”
Like the most solid allies in Asia, once they are conquered, there will be no more hatred.”
Speaking of this, Maria said with firm eyes; “The Su family and Cataclysmic Front will never conquer Charlie,”
“The only possibility is Charlie conquered the Su family and the Cataclysmic Front!”
“Charlie conquered the Su family and Cataclysmic Front?!”
Hearing this, Ethan said in shock, “Miss… this… this is a bit exaggerated…”
“The strength of the Su family is stronger than that of the Wade family.”
“And the strength of Cataclysmic Front cannot be measured by money,”
“They have tens of thousands of mercenaries, and now it is said that they have built their own permanent base in the Middle East,”
“How could this kind of organization be conquered by Charlie?”
Maria said lightly: “Charlie’s strength is far from what Cataclysmic Front can match,”
“Otherwise, when the Su family and Cataclysmic Front went to Waderest Mountain together,”
“There would have been no way for Charlie to survive, although we don’t know what happened that day.”
“But we can see from the results that Charlie was not affected in any way,”
“Which is enough to prove that the Su family and Cataclysmic Front completely failed on Waderest Mountain that day.”
After a pause, Maria continued Said: “As I said just now, the enemy in Charlie’s eyes is Warriors Den.”
“He is the same as me, and he has a mortal hatred against Warriors Den, but he is much stronger than me.”
“I am still in the process of hiding from Warriors Den.”
“It is chasing and killing the Middle East and hiding in Tibet, exhausted, but he has already launched a real attack on the Warriors Den in the dark.”
“From this point of view, how can the Cataclysmic Front be able to stop him?”
“If he is willing, On Waderest Mountain, could directly kill the number one person in Cataclysmic Front!”
Ethan pondered for a moment, then frowned and said: “In this way,”
“It is rumored that the Wade family ceded half of their assets to Cataclysmic Front. It is a smoke bomb!”
Maria nodded, and said seriously: “To be precise,”
“It should be the smoke bomb released by Charlie!”
After finishing speaking, Maria suddenly remembered something,
And asked the two of them: “By the way, after Waderest,”
“Is there any special news or changes from the Su family and Cataclysmic Front?”
“Changes?” The two looked at each other, and Larry said,
“I don’t know the situation of the Su family, but Cataclysmic Front I have heard of it.”
“Their situation in Syria suddenly became very active,”
“And they soon joined forces with ISU Shipping to monopolize the armed escort in the Gulf of Aden,”
“And they wiped out a pirate organization before, scaring the pirates in the Gulf of Aden at once.”
“They have lost the courage, and since then, as long as the merchant ships escorted by the Cataclysmic Front are armed, no pirates dare to approach.”
Maria nodded: “This transformation is not unsightly, and I think there should be expert guidance behind it.”
Ethan thought for a while and said, “It’s strange to say that the news came out that day that the Su family and Cataclysmic Front were in Yemen.”
“After the big victory in Waderest, the Su family suddenly kept a low profile.”
“Some people said that they made a fortune in silence,”
“But I always felt that they were very high-profile before they won Waderest.”
“There is no reason to do anything after winning. Making a fortune in silence,”
“Isn’t that the same as stealing one’s ears and stealing one’s bell?”
“That’s why I was always surprised by this incident.”
“Later, the Su family quickly changed the head of the family.”
“The previous head Chengfeng Su retired,”
“And passed on the position of the head of the family to his 24-year-old eldest granddaughter, Zhiyu.”
“Passed to the eldest granddaughter?” Maria muttered with a puzzled expression,
“Why do you want to choose a grandchild from another generation to directly inherit the position of head of the family?”
“Shouldn’t you choose a son in the middle for transition?”
Then, Maria asked Ethan: “Could it be that the Su family has few descendants?”
Ethan hurriedly said: “Miss, on the contrary, the seven children of the Su family, five of them are sons,”
“Two Daughters are all in the prime of life, and there are even more grandchildren…”
“Strange…” Maria frowned and said, “Since there are five sons,”
“Why pass the title of Patriarch to the eldest granddaughter directly?”
“The eldest granddaughter is a womanizer. Just saying that he skips the children’s generation,”
“And directly choosing the grandchildren to succeed him will easily arouse the dissatisfaction of the five sons.”
“Even Zhiyu’s biological father will never be willing to accept being directly skipped.”
Speaking of this, Maria said again: “Back then, Ming Chengzu highly valued the emperor’s grandson Ming Xuanzong,”
“But even so, Chengzu did not directly pass on the throne to Xuanzong,”
“But first passed on the throne to Renzong for a while,”
“Even if this old man really thinks highly of Zhiyu should also pass the throne to Zhiyu’s father first,”
“And then let her father pass the throne to her.”
“In this way, Zhiyu’s foundation can also be consolidated.”
“She is a girl who directly takes the position, how can she hold back?”
“Even if Chengfeng is always behind her, it will be difficult for Zhiyu to really control the Su family.”
Ethan thought of something, and said: “By the way, miss, after the position of Patriarch was passed on to Zhiyu,”
“He has already retired, and it is said that he went to Africa to enjoy his life.”
Maria frowned even tighter: “He helped Zhiyu onto a strong horse, and he didn’t take help her personally.”
“Help her tame the fierce horse and then retire?!”
“If he does this, even if Zhiyu has great abilities, she can’t hold it back!”
Ethan shrugged: “But, Zhiyu After taking over, she has done many important things in succession.”
“It is her handwriting to cooperate with the Ito family in Japan to establish ISU Shipping.”
Maria said with a serious expression: “From the perspective of human nature,”
“Zhiyu inherits the position of head of the family, her father, her uncle, and aunt are unlikely to subdue to her,”
“And Chengfeng did not stay by her side to help her suppress the situation.”
“Logically speaking, this is like a balance. Zhiyu herself, the other end is her seven elders,”
“And the other end of the balance must be her seven elders.”
“Zhiyu’s control over the family will inevitably be eroded,”
“But you say she sits comfortably. There is only one possibility…”
At this point, Maria raised her voice a little, and said firmly:
“Behind Zhiyu, there must be a stronger person to help her shake the situation,”
“Or the one I just mentioned, standing behind Zhiyu, that person can hold Zhiyu firmly, preventing her seven elders from moving!”
Ethan exclaimed: “Miss if you analyze it like this, That person must be Charlie!”
“Yes.” Maria nodded, and said, “This way everything is logical.”
“Charlie conquered the Su family on Waderest Mountain, and even appointed the new head of the Su family.”
“He was able to leave China disheartened, and even if his seven children are unwilling,”
“They can only accept it obediently and dare not have any disobedience to Zhiyu!”
After finishing speaking, Maria couldn’t help admiring:
“Waderest In the first battle, Charlie obviously won,”
“But he wanted to say that he lost, and he also said that he lost more than half of his family property.”
“Charlie’s move is really wonderful!”
Ethan agreed: “Since that day, many families have stopped paying attention to the Wade family,”
“Thinking that they have become the last of their strength,”
“And have regretted it for a long time, but now it seems that this should be done on purpose by Charlie!”
Maria nodded and said: ” Since Charlie won on Waderest Mountain that day,”
“The Su family and Cataclysmic Front must bow their heads to Charlie.”
“Needless to say, Cataclysmic Front may have already pledged their allegiance to Charlie.”
“As for the Su family, if the Patriarch was still Chengfeng,”
“I’m afraid he will have to give out more than half of his family property to beg Charlie to be noble,”
“But the Su family just changed a girl to be the head of the family…”
Maria couldn’t help sighing, and murmured: “Isn’t it? Is it another romantic debt?”
“Romantic debt…”
Hearing Maria’s emotion, Ethan suddenly remembered something, and said,
“Miss, I have the impression that the current head of the Ito family is also a girl,”
“And her age should be about the same as Zhiyu. Nanako Ito.”
“A girl too?” Maria couldn’t help but wonder: “What’s wrong these days?”
“It’s popular for girls to be the masters of the house? Or does she have some stories with Charlie?”
Ethan hurriedly said: “Oh, by the way, miss, you asked me to investigate Charlie’s exit records.”
“I found that he stayed in Japan for a while last year.”
“Nanako Ito took over as the head of the family only after he went to Japan.”
“During that time, the top three families in Japan fought. The Ito family had the last laugh in the chaos,”
“But Yuhiko Ito lost his legs because of it, and since then,”
“He has retired behind the scenes and let his daughter take charge of the overall situation.”
As he said, Ethan continued: “I remember that time in Tokyo It was so confusing that the son and daughter of Zynn Su,”
“The boss of the Su family was kidnapped in Japan. Fortunately, the two escaped.”
“In order to retaliate, the Su family sent killers to wipe out the family that was the culprit.”
“Interesting…” Maria said with a smile: “As long as Charlie has been to a place, something happens,”
“If I guessed correctly, that Zhiyu was in danger in Japan,”
“She should have been rescued by Charlie, That’s why Charlie helped her to the position.”
“What Charlie wants may not be the compensation for the Su family’s cede land,”
“But it may also be for the Su family to bow their heads and surrender.”
Maria said again: “There is also the Ito family, maybe it was because of Charlie that they were lucky enough to be here.”
“Survive to the end of that chaos, maybe Nanako is also Charlie’s confidante,”
“The whole Ito family is in her hands, if Charlie needs it, she can give it all at any time.”
Ethan laughed and said: “Miss, are you It’s a bit too much to think highly of this Charlie,”
“And I can’t do anything, but as long as you have a little bit of contact with Charlie,”
“It must be Charlie who is behind the scenes, right?”
Maria smiled slightly, and asked him: “Charlie obviously has such a great ability.”
“But the vast majority of people don’t know his existence, even his wife,”
“His mother-in-law and other people who live with him every day don’t know his true identity and strength, do you know why?”
Ethan asked in puzzlement: “Miss, how do you know that his wife and mother-in-law don’t know his real identity?”
Maria smiled and asked him back:
“His mother-in-law went to the temple to make a wish, do you know what wish it was?”
Ethan said blankly: “I…I don’t know…”
Maria said: “His mother-in-law made a wish to the Buddha, hoping that she can make a lot of money by live broadcasting,”
“And how much money can she make by live broadcasting?”
“One hundred million a year? Ten a year. Billion?”
“Charlie’s assets are probably much more interest in the bank than this,”
“His mother-in-law is so short-sighted, do you think she will know who Charlie is?”
Ethan exclaimed: “This… this is also not realistic…”
“They are people who live together all day, how could they not know Charlie’s true identity?”
Maria said lightly: “Actually, they made a mistake just like you.”
Ethan hurriedly asked: “What’s wrong? I hope the lady will make it clear…”
Maria said seriously: “You all instinctively don’t want to think of Charlie as strong,”
“You always feel that he can’t be that powerful, Cataclysmic Front can’t be conquered by him,”
“The Su family, it is impossible for him to control the life and death of the Ito family and those Japanese families,”
“And it is impossible for him to do those incredible things by himself.”
“If I hadn’t come to Eastcliff to find you, you wouldn’t know Charlie’s true identity,”
“Even if you get along with him day and night, I’m afraid you won’t see through his true identity.”
Speaking of this, Maria said again: “But I am different from you.”
“I have seen Charlie’s real strength, and I also know how much his strength is, so in my heart,”
“I am willing to push him to the end. Thinking about it from a strong point of view,”
“I just think that he can conquer the Cataclysmic Front,”
“And I just think that he can conquer those big families that look great,”
“So I instinctively want to believe what you said, it must be Charlie.
Ethan pondered for a moment, then nodded lightly and said: “What Miss said is very true…”
“I was influenced by my subjective cognition to make an objective judgment.”
“If I subjectively think that something is false, my objective logical thinking will also acquiesce.”
“If the subjective cognition is correct, I won’t correct it anymore.”
Maria nodded, and said seriously: “Charlie’s wife and mother-in-law live with him all day long,”
“So it’s impossible not to find out the clues, but once they do it subjectively,”
“They think that Charlie will not have such a great ability,”
“Or Charlie is just an orphan, and it is impossible to have any great background,”
“Then when they find out the clues, they will not dig deeper.”
“In that case, Charlie only needs to follow their subjective cognition and make up a random reason to deceive them,”
“And make them subconsciously realize that the so-called clue is really because of this.”
At this time, Larry on the side couldn’t help sighing:
“Behind this Charlie is the Wade family, there is the An family, and his own strength is unmatched.”
“After the First battle in Waderest, he subdued the Cataclysmic Front and Su family,”
“And his strength went further. In addition, there is the Ito family in Japan…”
“But even so, he can take the initiative to show weakness, develop in a low-key manner,”
“And not be surprised by favor or humiliation. It seems that this person is really not simple!”
This is due to his personality, and on the other hand, it also means that at this moment,”
“In his eyes, he still has a big enemy. You and I think he is already very powerful now,”
“But he himself feels that he can’t show his edge, but also to suffer for it, and keep secrets.”
At this point, Maria’s expression was a little uncontrollably excited,
And she clenched her fists and said, “It seems that he has already made preparations for a life-and-death meeting with the Warriors Den!”
“This is exactly the same as me! I want to meet with him today,”
“Confess everything to him, and then join hands with him to deal with the Warriors Den!”
Ethan hurriedly said: “Miss, if you have this intention,”
“I can contact Zhongquan and be honest with him. I think he should be able to ask Charlie to meet with you.”
Maria thought for a while, then waved her hand and said: “Forget it, the actual situation right now I’m not yet mature,”
“After all, I played a scene in front of him, and now I’m going to show up,”
“It will definitely arouse his vigilance, and it may even touch his back scales,”
“Making him regard me as an enemy, once he treats me as if on guard,”
“Even if he is willing to cooperate with me in the future, he will definitely be wary of me.”
“I don’t want a partner who is always wary of me. I want to work with him on the basis of 100% mutual trust to fight against the Warriors Den.”
Speaking of this, Maria suddenly sighed, and said with emotion:
“I’m so looking forward to the start of school soon! In September,”
“I will get to know Claudia first, in October I will meet Charlie again through Claudia,”
“And in November let him let go of the guard, and then I can confess my true identity,”
“And origin to him step by step, and give him a little more time to digest and accept,”
“And then we can join hands with him to discuss how to deal with the Warriors Den in December!”
At this moment, Aurous Hill university.
Although Larry’s family vehicles can enter and exit the university at will,
Jemima got off the car on the side of the road a few hundred meters earlier in order to keep a low profile.
When she came to the school gate, she wanted to take the initiative to explain her intentions,
To the security guards and ask them to allow her to enter, but unexpectedly,
As soon as she arrived at the gate, a young woman greeted her and asked enthusiastically
“You are Jemima Liu, Miss Liu. Right?”
Jemima asked in surprise: “You are?”
The other party quickly introduced herself with her name and continued:
“I am from the Human Resources Department of the university,”
“I’m afraid you can’t find the place when you come, so I’m here in advance waiting for you.”
Jemima hurriedly said: “Thank you so much, and you have worked so hard to make a special trip…”
The lady said with a smile: “No hard work, no hard work,”
“You are the talent our director named to focus on.”
“They have mentioned you several times in front of me, and are very optimistic about your resume.”
Then, she looked at the time and said, “There is still half an hour, why don’t we go in, and I will show you around!”
Jemima was a little flattered and said:
“Thank you for your hard work!” Jemima didn’t have to wait for the entire school to transfer,
But just entered the school, and immediately fell in love with this place.
Perhaps it was because of Charlie’s filter, she felt that everything within sight of the university was so pleasing.
The huge campus looked very open, and the architecture was quite elegant.
Even the trees, flowers, and plants were beautiful. It looks extraordinarily lush.
In short, everything is good. And the university’s attitude towards her, as Sister Xian said,
Is definitely a thirst for talent. In the past two years,
University has been paying great attention to the recruitment of Hong Kong and foreign lecturers and professors,
And even spent a lot of thought on this, but with little success.
Many high-achieving students who graduated from Hong Kong or overseas top universities, if they are interested in teaching, can generally apply directly at this school. smoother.
Moreover, the international ranking of Aurous Hill university is indeed much lower than that of Hong Kong University and other famous universities in the world.
For example, Hong Kong University, which Jemima graduated from,
It is ranked 21st in the world by QS, while Aurous Hill university is ranked 133rd in the world.
The gap is not a little bit.
Therefore, for this university, doctoral students are easy to recruit,
But it is not so easy to recruit doctoral students who graduated,
From the top 5 universities in Asia and the top 30 universities in the world.
What’s more, Jemima’s grades at Hong Kong University are excellent.
From undergraduate to master’s degrees, almost all of them stand out with the best grades.
In the eyes of several interviewers of Aurous Hill university, this is simply a treasure.
During the interview, the three interviewers were very satisfied with Jemima’s resume background and actual performance in the interview.
The director in charge of human resources had even begun to prepare a press release for Jemima after joining the job.
The most eye-catching stroke in the introduction plan.
Moreover, Jemima’s appearance, figure, and temperament are all one in a million.
The gimmicks such as beautiful class tutors and beautiful lecturers are too easy to the hype on today’s social media.
With countless fans, Jemima, a natural and unadorned top-notch beauty, will definitely arouse more discussion and pursuit.
Because of everyone’s extraordinary satisfaction with Jemima,
The director of the human resources department of the university was afraid that there would be any changes in this matter,
So he wrote a line on a white paper during the interview, which read:
“Too excellent Yes, there must be many schools vying for her,”
“It is recommended to avoid the re-examination and confirm it as soon as possible!”
Although this lady is the person in charge of the human resources department,
The decision to hire or not is in the hands of one of the vice principals.
The vice-principal saw the words on the paper, and wrote two words on the bottom: “I Agree.”
Afterward, he pushed the paper to another interviewer,
And the other interviewer followed “Agree too” and quickly wrote a “+1”.
So, the three of them passed messages to each other by means of notes and made an unprecedented decision.
At the end of the interview, the woman who was about forty years old stood up,
Smiled and said to Jemima: “Miss Liu, since your resume and qualifications are very suitable for our positioning of young talents,”
“After the consensus of the three of us, I decided, I can give you a clear answer now, you are hired!”
Jemima asked in surprise: “I don’t need to take the re-examination or written examination?”
The woman said with a smile: “No, although our normal recruitment is one-sided,”
“Two-sided and written tests in the process, but only one part is essential.”
“The two-sided and written tests can be adjusted according to the actual situation.”
“The three of us feel that your situation in all aspects is very good.”
“It meets our needs, and you live in Hong Kong now, so we don’t need to make you go back and forth again and again.”
“If you are sure that you are willing to stay and teach in our school,”
“Then please adjust your itinerary. Wait for a day,”
“The three of us will finish the recruitment process today and prepare the signing materials,”
“And we can formally sign the contract tomorrow morning.”
After that, she looked at Jemima expectantly and asked:
“How does Miss Liu feel about it?”
“You can confirm it now, or should you go back and think about it?”
Actually, these three interviewers were more nervous than Jemima.
Almost all the double first-class universities in the mainland are very interested in talents like her,
And almost all have similar young talent introduction plans.
With Jemima’s conditions, interviews for the position of ordinary lecturers,
Any university on the mainland, as long as it is fair there is absolutely no difficulty in the competition.
They also don’t know why Jemima chose to come to Aurous Hill as a native of Hong Kong.
They are worried that Jemima has no special feelings for Aurous Hill,
But just cast her resume to these schools, so if they don’t confirm as soon as possible,
Maybe tomorrow she will sign to another school.
Jemima didn’t know what the three of them were thinking.
She originally thought that the interview would be a one-stop process,
But she didn’t expect to get the offer from the other party in one step.
This was naturally the most ideal result for her, so she said without thinking
“I’m fine!”
The other three were also relieved, and the woman said,
“Since everyone is fine, let’s sign the contract here at nine o’clock tomorrow morning.”
“I will prepare the contract in advance, Ms. Liu.”
“At that time, you can just bring the relevant documents,”
“And you don’t need to prepare copies, we can make copies everywhere.”
“Okay!” Jemima said with a smile, “Thank you for your approval,”
“I will come here on time tomorrow morning.”
The woman thought of something, and said to her:
“By the way, Miss Liu, in view of your special situation,”
“We can provide you with a teacher’s apartment.”
“I can show you around tomorrow, or you can choose a room first.”
Jemima wanted to say that she planned to buy a suite in Aurous Hill and does not want to take up the resources of the school.
But after thinking about it, housing prices in Aurous Hill are not cheap.
She has just graduated and if she buys a house before a formal job.
In the eyes of others, it may be too ostentatious.
Why not just accept the apartment arranged by the school, and then quietly buy a suite!
Thinking of this, she said, “Thank you so much!”
Jemima, who was confirmed to be hired, walked away from Aurous Hill University by stepping and jogging all the way.
Everyone didn’t expect that such a beautiful woman with an intellectual and cold face would be bouncing around on the side of the road like a child. The huge contrast was truly astonishing.
Jemima left the University, walked a few hundred meters and turned a corner. Sister Xian and the driver were still waiting in the parking space on the side of the road.
Seeing Jemima, Sister Xian got out of the car immediately, and said with a respectful smile, “Miss Liu is so happy, it seems that you must be very satisfied with the results of today’s interview.”
Jemima was very happy, and said with a smile: “Sister Xian, thank you, I have passed their interview and received the employment notice, I will change the itinerary and sign a formal contract with them tomorrow morning, so that I can wait to start the job with peace of mind.”
“That’s really great! “Sister Xian was also very happy, and quickly said: “Miss Liu has won the flag today, and we have to celebrate. I will call master and tell him the good news.”
Then, she asked Jemima: “What would Ms. Liu want to eat tonight? I will cook it myself tonight!”
Jemima said with a smile, “Thank you, sister Xian!”
After she finished speaking, she thought of something, and hurriedly said, “By the way, sister Xian, can you take me to see a house? It is the real estate of Tomson you mentioned before. If it is suitable, I will buy the house today, and try to finish all the things that need to be done this time.”
Sister Xian said without thinking: “No problem, then let’s go there now, and I’ll take you to the sales office.”
The Tomson real estate in Aurous Hill is indeed very popular when it was first opened, but more than a year has passed, and this real estate has not yet been sold. Complete liquidation, although the villas have been snapped up, there are still some properties on the flat floor for sale.
The reason is that the overall positioning and pricing of the real estate are relatively high, and it is a typical high-low distribution area.
This kind of high-low residential area mainly focuses on high-end villas. If possible, the developer is more willing to build it into a pure villa community, but in order to meet the requirements of the management department for the floor area ratio, they have to allocate part of the land for Build high-rise residential buildings.
The real rich basically bought those expensive villas ranging from tens of millions to more than one hundred million. The remaining flats of more than 10 million to 30 million, the positioning is a little embarrassing.
Those who can spend so much money to buy a house are not considered top rich, but at least they are middle class.
The arrogance of the middle class is actually very strong. In the minds of most of them, they are also the elite class of society, so naturally they would rather be chicken heads than phoenix tails.
When they buy a house, they are more willing to buy in those communities that are purely flat and not positioned so high-end, and then buy a large-area building in it.
The last thing they want to buy is this kind of high-low residential area. Obviously, they already have tens of millions of net worth. If they buy in this community, not only will they not get any sense of accomplishment, but they will be overwhelmed by villa owners every day.
If you live in a medium-sized community, driving a car worth more than one million yuan is basically considered top-notch, but in an ultra-high-end community like Tomson, it is no exaggeration to say that even working in a villa The aunts who go out to buy vegetables may not be able to compare.
In the underground garage of the community, more than 3 million cars account for more than half, and the cars below 3 million are basically the kind that are produced in the eastern island country. A noble nanny car with a price increase of hundreds of thousands.
In this environment, driving a Mercedes-Benz S, or a BMW 7 Series, is really embarrassed to say hello to my neighbors.
When Noah’s family came here to look at the house, Harold once said a very classic sentence. He felt that living in this community was to stand guard and block bullets for the rich people in the villa area inside.
Because of such awkward positioning, Tomson’s villas were almost empty after opening, but these flats have been sold until now.
Fortunately, Jemima didn’t care about these things.
She just wanted to find a suitable house near the school to be her boudoir.
And her requirements for the house are that the transportation is convenient, the environment is good, the decoration is good, the real estate positioning is relatively high-end, and the cultural environment is not so noisy and low-quality, so that it is more worry-free to live as a girl.
When she was sitting in a Rolls Royce and arrived at the sales office of Tomson in just ten minutes, she had already decided in her heart that she would buy this complex.
Because the transportation from this community to the school is really convenient, and Tomson itself is already positioned as the best in the vicinity, so she knows without looking that she does not need to go anywhere else.
Although she has a lot of requirements for the house, the convenience of transportation is indeed a very, very important part.
When they arrived at the sales office, Sister Xian naturally accompanied her all the way.
Compared with the hot scene when the market just opened, it has been much deserted at this time.
When the sales lady saw a Rolls Royce parked by the side of the road, she was already in high spirits. When the two walked out of the Rolls Royce and came all the way to the sales office, the sales director went out in person, enthusiastically opened the door for the two of them, and said respectfully: “Welcome to Tomson, do you want me to introduce the specific situation of our project to you?”
Jemima nodded, and then glanced at the sales office. The huge and exquisite sand table in the center of the building pointed to the row of high-rise buildings near the river and asked, “Is there any room in this building?”
The sales director immediately said: “Yes! This building It is one of the kind of buildings in our flat, with a very good view, and with our super large floor-to-ceiling viewing windows, you can have a panoramic view of the first-line river view!”
Jemima asked: “Can you introduce the apartment type?”
The sales director hurriedly said: “Miss, this apartment is the largest in our area, with a construction area of square meters, two and a half balconies for free, and a purely free equipment room. The total usable area of balconies exceeds eight Shiping, although the equipment room is called an equipment room, in fact, our large-scale equipment has a special equipment well.”
“The usable area of equipment room is about 16 square meters, which is equivalent to giving away a bedroom for nothing, and we have already done it when we finished the decoration. The balcony is closed, and it can be used as an indoor space. The addition of these two items is equivalent to giving you more than 50 to 60 square meters of usable area, so the actual usable area is more than 250 square meters.”
Jemima said with some doubts: “Two hundred and forty plus sixty, how can it be more than two hundred and fifty?” The
sales director said in surprise: “Excluding the shared area, our shared share is almost 20%, which is already considered a high-level,”
“Shared share?” Jemima was also very surprised, she lived in a villa since she was a child, and never bought a house or apartment by herself, plus she has been concentrating on her studies, so she really doesn’t understand the concept of these real estate too well, and, although the common area is a great invention of Hong Kong, it has abolished this concept ten years ago.
Sister Xian at the side pulled Jemima aside and whispered for a while before she understood that this concept was actually in Hong Kong.
However, more than two hundred and fifty square meters is completely enough for a girl like her, even a little too big.
So she asked the salesperson: “Is this the only type of apartment? Is there a smaller one?”
The sales executive said truthfully: “The building has this type of apartment, one elevator for one household, and an elevator to enter the household. If you don’t mind the view, you can take a look at the building behind, there are 180 square meters of units in that building.”
Jemima looked at the approximate location, shook her head and said: “Forget it, let’s take a look at this building, do you still have the top floor?”
The salesperson nodded: “Yes, there is another one on the top floor that was just cleared a while ago. He paid a deposit of one million yuan, but the loan was not approved, so he cleared it out.”
Jemima said without hesitation: “Okay, that’s the set.”
The sales lady didn’t even look at this kind of apartment when she saw it for the first time, so she decided to buy it.
What’s more, this is also a apartment with a price of more than 30 million yuan. Anyone who buys such an expensive apartment must carefully read the details of the scene and compare and consider it before making a decision.
However, for Jemima, she didn’t have much energy to choose and compare apartment. Although she hadn’t seen the apartment here, she was very satisfied with the location and transportation. In addition, the area was large enough and the size of the apartment was also good. There is nothing flawed, so going to see the actual site is to see the details of the decoration.
But Jemima is also very clear that since this is already the best real estate in Aurous Hill, if she doesn’t like this place, she will look down on other places even more. If this is the case, why bother to waste time and make comparisons?
The sales lady couldn’t help but said: “Miss, why don’t I take you to have a look… After all, it’s worth more than 30 million…”
Sister Xian on the side also said: “Yes, Miss Liu, come here! Here we go, let’s take a look. If there is anything you want to adjust in terms of layout and details, you can give a general direction. If you need to find interior decoration, we can contact someone.”
Jemima said: “My favorite is the top floor, the sales said that there is only one set, so am worried that someone would take the lead…”
Sister Xian said with a smile: “Don’t worry, Ms. Liu, the apartment here are not so tight…”
The sales lady herself said: “Yes Ah, miss, there are quite a few people looking at our apartment, but the unit price is indeed too high. To be honest, it’s not that easy to sell. Let’s take a look. It only takes ten or twenty minutes. You can be sure there is no problem after. And if you don’t regret it, we can come back and sign the contract and pay the deposit.”
Jemima shook her head and said firmly: “Even if it is difficult to sell, this is the only way, even if there is only a 1% chance of being snatched away. That is also risky.”
As she said, she asked the salesperson: “If I take the apartment now, how much will I need to pay, I can take the apartment first and then go to see it with you.”
“This…” Seeing her insistence, the salesperson quickly said, “If you have the funds right now, then you can lock the apartment by simply paying the 1 million intention deposit, so that you are 100% sure that no one else will be able to buy it.”
As she said, she continued: “However, if you lock the listing but don’t buy it in the end, we will deduct 10% of the intent deposit, can you accept this?”
“No problem.” Jemima said without thinking: ” Swipe the card now!”
The salesperson was overjoyed, and quickly pointed to the VIP room and said, “Miss, this way please!”
Jemima followed the salesperson to the VIP room, and as soon as the door closed, a middle-aged man wearing a mask walked in. Another salesperson immediately stepped forward and said respectfully: “Hello, sir, do you want to see the house?”
I can move in immediately with the bags? The bigger the house, the better!”
