"As for gifts, it doesn't matter if it's more or less. What matters is how much it costs and whether it's priced in US dollars."

Yuan Wenhuai, who had been in Shanghai for several years, could understand Zhang Li's words, but he was not very comfortable listening to them. This was not the first time he had met Zhang Li. He knew that he could speak very standard Mandarin and usually spoke Mandarin. What did he mean by speaking half-Shanghai? Was he trying to show his dominance?
"Manager Zhang, Mr. Xian added the gift-giving segment to make the competition more interesting. The gifts should not be too expensive." Yuan Wenhuai said in standard Mandarin.

Seeing that Yuan Wenhuai could speak human language, Zhang Li also switched back to human language. "Once, Mr. Xian talked to me about the details of the previous Miss Hong Kong pageants and said that a formal competition event should have a logo.

It is also said that women are like flowers. The ancients loved to compare beauties to lotus. Using lotus is good, but it does not reflect the characteristics of Hong Kong. Miss Hong Kong should highlight the characteristics of Hong Kong.

Yuan Wenhuai asked: "Bauhinia scabra?"

Zhang Li nodded. "The Bauhinia flower, a hybrid of Bauhinia rubrum and Bauhinia bracteatum, symbolizes the unique blend of Chinese and Western cultures in Hong Kong. The symbol of Miss Hong Kong should be the Bauhinia flower."

“Using the redbud flower as the material to design logos and gifts?”

"This should be what Mr. Xian thinks."

As soon as Zhang Li finished speaking, a British woman walked towards them.

Caroline Duncan, just got back from London yesterday.

"Manager Yuan."

"Secretary Duncan."

"Manager Zhang."

"Hello, Miss Caroline."

While they were talking, Caroline sat down and said to Zhou Bingmei and Sima Yin, "You two should have a drink. It's my treat."

The intention of kicking them out was obvious, so Zhou Bingmei and the other person didn't say anything and just got up and left.

Seeing the two people leave, Caroline didn't say any more nonsense. She took out a document from her bag and put it on the table, saying: "To commemorate the 1851th anniversary of the 5 World Industrial Exposition, the UK will hold the British Festival from May 3 to September 9 this year.

Mecca is a British company that operates dance halls, nightclubs, and is slowly getting involved in the hotel industry. The company has a dance manager, Eric Morley, who introduced ballroom dancing to BBC television in 1949 through the Come Dance program, encouraging viewers to go to Mecca's dance halls.

He is now a very famous TV host in the UK. Last year, he adapted the seaside beauty pageant into a fashion show at the Mecca Ballroom. This year, coinciding with the Festival of Britain, he has the idea of ​​developing it into a national beauty pageant and putting it on TV.

Caroline opened the file and pointed to a page, saying, "I visited Mr. Xian of Mecca Company and reached a cooperation agreement with him to jointly host a beauty pageant in the name of Friendship Company's London subsidiary, 'Orde Montagu'."

Caroline flipped through a few pages of documents and pointed to one, saying, "Miss World, a brand Adam registered in the UK last year."

Closing the document, Caroline continued, "The date for the Miss World competition has been set for July 7. This year's Miss Hong Kong competition must be concluded before July 15. The second and third place winners will go to London to participate in the Miss World competition."

Yuan Wenhuai asked, "The champion is not going?"

Caroline glanced at Yuan Wenhuai and said, "There is a big difference in aesthetics between the East and the West. It is difficult for Miss Hong Kong to get a high ranking in the Miss World competition, let alone win the championship.

Adam said that in order to take care of the feelings of Hong Kong people, the Miss Hong Kong champion should be given sufficient and reasonable reasons not to participate in the competition. Also, the Miss Hong Kong champion must have a clean resume and be obedient enough to follow the company's arrangements for her.

Yuan Wenhuai nodded, "Mr. Xian has already explained it."

Caroline picked up the documents and put them back in her bag. "There are still many things in London that cannot be done without me. I will fly back the day after tomorrow. There will be a meeting at 9:30 tomorrow morning. I need to hear a comprehensive report from Friendship Pictures and prepare."

"OK."

After saying goodbye to Zhang Li, Caroline stood up and walked towards Li Mei.

Today, she will visit every project site of Friendship Real Estate and every film set of Friendship Pictures to understand the current business development of Friendship Company.

She is Xian Yaowen's secretary and Michelle's representative, so she must be familiar with the company's business.

After the ripples subsided, Yuan Wenhuai and Zhang Li continued their discussion.

Without Sima Yin's continuous output of emotional value, Yuan Wenhuai's thinking became much sharper.

North River Street.

At the Violet Hotel, Li Minyou led a team to investigate the crime scene. The victim was the woman rescued by Xian Yaowu.

In fact, there is nothing to investigate. The hotel owner has already been asked for a statement. A man came to see a woman early this morning and an argument broke out in the room. There was suspected to be a fight. The man left with a panicked expression on his face.

The police can pay someone to take the blame for a crime. After all, handling cases is very hard work, and some cases are not so easy to solve. There are no eyewitnesses, and not many traces are left at the crime scene. To solve such cases, one can only rely on luck. When the superiors ask for a deadline to solve the case, the police can only resort to some evil means.

But the police cannot be good-for-nothings. Some cases cannot be solved by asking someone to take the blame. They can only investigate the scene and look for clues, solving the case in a down-to-earth manner. At most, they can use memory recovery techniques to let the suspect complete the chain of evidence himself.

Li Minyou asked the hotel owner and learned that the victim was sent by Xian Yaowu. He then used his real skills, carefully observing every detail of the room, and quickly reconstructed the general process of the crime in his mind.

Then, a phone call invited Xian Yaowu over.

Xian Yaowu is here, with mixed feelings.

The identity of the woman has been investigated clearly. Qian Ji Yudanmin's wife is bedridden and unable to fulfill her wife's duties, so Yudanmin marries another concubine, Qian Jiying. The two have been married for less than half a year.

The person behind the Taoist friend was not found, and when Xian Yaowu thought of it, it was too late. When A Rui returned to Kowloon Walled City and saw the Taoist friend again, he was already a corpse.

The murder to silence the witness further proved that his guess about the rape was correct. The Taoist fellow did not commit the crime randomly, but someone paid him to rape Jiying.

He hoped that the people behind the scenes were Yu Ji or Wang Ji, the other two fish ball restaurants. This way, he would have an excuse to deal with them. However, the name "Qiangji Ying" made him hesitate to make any judgment. "Qianji" means shrew, and as the saying goes, there are wrong names but no wrong nicknames. He couldn't judge whether Qianji Ying got its name because of the word "Ying" or whether it was worthy of the name.

It is said that several decades ago there was a woman named Aying in Guangzhou. She was a shrew and was called "伥鸡英". After her reputation spread, any woman with "Ying" in her name would easily be given the nickname "伥鸡英".

For example, Ah Ming's Snake Ming, Ah Rong's Pork Rong, Ah Sheng's Fish Seller Sheng, Ah Lian's Big Boobs Lian, etc., all were created based on similar story backgrounds.

To find out the origin of the nickname, he had to ask someone close to him. He didn't want to alert the enemy and didn't take any action. It was not clear whether Jiying was a Jiying. He wanted to treat Jiying to a midnight snack tonight and find out directly from her, but he didn't expect...

Xian Yaowu entered the room and saw Qian Jiying lying on the floor with her eyes wide open and bloodshot, as if she was accusing God. He squatted down and closed Qian Jiying's eyes, then carefully combed her hair and tidied her clothes.

Li Minyou stood by and watched. When Xian Yaowu stopped what he was doing, he said, "Awu, come out with me. I have a few questions for you."

The two men went up to the roof, and Li Minyou gave a cigarette to Xian Yaowu and lit it for him.

"What is a woman's identity?"

Xian Yaowu took a puff of his cigarette and said, "Chicken Ying, the wife of Qian Ji Yu Danmin from Kowloon Walled City."

"What's your relationship with her?"

"She is not my mistress." Xian Yaowu chuckled and mentioned the rape incident, and also elaborated on his thoughts on the fish ball business.

After listening to this, Li Minyou shifted his attention from the case to the business. Since Jiying was not a relative of Xian Yaowu, the case would be easy to handle. On the contrary, Xian Yaowu explained the business so clearly, his purpose was self-evident.

"Does Xiansheng know?"

The Happiness Factory has been in operation for just over half a year. Not only has the cost been recovered, but the monthly profit is increasing steadily. This month it has exceeded 15, and next month there is hope that it will exceed 18. The Li family can get dividends of over a million a year, and Mr. Xian can get about the same.

Mr. Xian can run a factory with annual profits of over 200 million just by opening his mouth. The fish ball business sounds good, but it is too small and Mr. Xian probably doesn't think highly of it.

"Brother, I don't know. This is my own business. Is Brother You interested?"

Except for witnesses and participants, Xian Yaowu did not tell others that Chang Jiying lived in the Violet Hotel. The man suspected to be the murderer was most likely called by Chang Jiying himself. The most likely person was her brother, followed by Yu Danmin.

Faced with their sister being bullied, the brothers lack motive to kill, but Yudanmin has motive to kill. Many men nowadays are very sensible. When their family members are bullied by outsiders, they will first look for the reasons from their own family members - why don't they rape others but you?

If Yudanmin had a bad temper, it is very likely that he accidentally killed Qianjiying in a state of emotional excitement. This can be reasonably inferred from the fact that Qianjiying died of strangulation.

There is no point in tracking down the murderer, all we need to do is properly handle the funeral of Jiying.

Since Qianjiying died and Daoyou also died, the "truth" should be that Yudanmin killed Qianjiying; Yu Ji and Wang Ji were jealous of Yudanmin's good fish ball business, so they paid Daoyou to rape Qianjiying to vent their anger, and then killed Daoyou to silence him afterwards.

Li Minyou smoked quietly, sorting out the key points, and soon asked, "How do we divide it?"

"Half each." Xian Yaowu said with a faint smile.

"Kowloon Walled City is not under our jurisdiction, and the Hong Kong government has no law enforcement power, so things are difficult to handle."

“I am familiar with the Kowloon City Residents Welfare Association, but I am not familiar with the community.”

Li Minyou nodded, "I am familiar with the society."

"Can you do it?"

"It can be done."

Tokyo Street.

Chen Yan passed by the "house" of a homeless family and said to the child who was kneeling there with his head down while working, "Have you eaten yet?"

The child looked up at her and said pitifully, "Big sister, please be kind. I haven't eaten for two days."

Chen Yan chuckled and said, "Scumbag, be more careful next time. I just gave you food yesterday, and you forgot about it today?"

The child giggled and said, "Big sister, I didn't recognize you just now."

As he spoke, the child glanced at Chen Yan's hands, and seeing that they were empty, an expression of disappointment immediately covered his face.

Chen Yan noticed the child's gaze and smiled, "It's not time for dinner yet, are you hungry?"

The child nodded sharply, "I'm so hungry."

Chen Yan took out a few dollars and handed them to the child, "I don't have time to buy you food today, go buy it yourself."

Faced with the huge sum of money, the child was overjoyed, and his mouth was filled with seven pounds and fifteen ounces of honey, "Big sister, you are so nice, and you look..."

"Okay." Chen Yan interrupted the child, "Save the nice words for others to hear. If you need food in the future, come to Shanjinlou to find me."

After she finished speaking, Chen Yan stroked the child's head and turned to leave.

She walked a few steps towards Xian's house and met Wang Xiamin standing on the side of the road.

"Miss Wang."

Wang Xiamin nodded and pointed to the road. "There was a fight here last night."

He also pointed to Xian's house, "It's too close. I can hear it even when I'm lying in bed."

Putting her hand down, she looked at Chen Yan's face and said, "I have a message for you. Stay away from Xian's house in future fights."

Chen Yan nodded and said, "I'll go to Kowloon Walled City in the afternoon."

Wang Xiamin handed Chen Yan an envelope, "It's the end of the month. This is for next month. There are two festivals, Cold Food Festival and Tomb-Sweeping Day. I'll give you an extra 200 yuan for the festivals."

Chen Yan took the envelope and said thank you.

Soon the two separated, and Wang Xiamin walked to a building on Tokyo Street to distribute the April salaries to the Dai bosses.

After about six or seven minutes, she finished her work and returned to the Xian residence, carrying a basket, and went around the construction sites of the canteen, Building 11 and Building 12 to distribute cigarettes to the workers.

A pack of cigarettes in the morning and afternoon tea in the afternoon are the extra benefits that the Xian family gives to the workers. The rest is naturally arranged by the workers' boss Luo Yingshi.

After sending it, she went back upstairs, sat in Xian Yaowen's study, picked up a reference book on the desk and started reading.

She entered the Xian family as a nanny, but today, she is obviously no longer a nanny. She guards the core secrets of the Xian family, can call on all the resources of the Xian family, and enjoys super high treatment.

She was fully aware of her own importance and had a thorough understanding of her husband's character. Sooner or later, she would lie on the bed in the next bedroom and complete that step with her husband.

In her heart, she had already accepted that she was Lady Xian Wang. She was not doing a job, but was guarding her own home.

Women are like this, they can never distinguish between interests and feelings. When there are interests, they want feelings, and when there is feelings, they want interests again. Xian Yaowen has seen countless women and knows women's psychology very well. He really needs to tie up the emotional ties with Wang Xiamin, otherwise he will not be able to stay stable for the rest of his life.

Although Long Xuemei is a trusted secretary, they are only superiors in the workplace and are not integrated into the Xian family. After she has fulfilled her contract and does not want to continue, she can change jobs or go solo. However, Wang Xiamin cannot do that. She can only die of old age in the Xian family.

Of course, this is only theoretically true for Long Xuemei. She has been involved in many secrets and has no chance to jump off the Xian family chariot. Her interests are tied to Xian Yaowen's, and she can only rise with the tide. However, the relationship between the two will only stop at a community of interests and will not cross over to a relationship.

Not every woman is obsessed with emotions, and women are prone to extremes. Some are willing to commit suicide for men, while others are emotionally heartless and treat men like shit, just a tool to satisfy their own needs. The purpose of getting married is just because they need a role called husband, and it is a pipe dream for the husband to know her secrets at work.

Long Xuemei has the potential to become such a woman. She is the same type of person as Wu Zhao.

Wang Xiamin immersed herself in the book, looking for the golden house hidden in the book. She held the pen in her hand with a crisp rustling sound and took notes in her notebook attentively.

If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight. Queen Xian is not something that can be done by being a "mute". There is a lot of knowledge that she needs to understand, and she needs to keep learning.

The study lasted until noon. She went downstairs to have lunch. She received a phone call while taking a nap after lunch. Her lunch break was used up ahead of time. Soon, she sat in the private room of Shanjin Building, fiddling with tea sets and waiting for Du Weiping who had made an appointment with her.

Paris.

Although he worked until the early hours of the morning last night, Xian Yaowen's implanted clock was as dedicated as ever. He got up early and exercised on the balcony. On the balcony next door, Fei Baoshu, who also got up early, was also exercising.

She had no time to be jealous. The noise Xie Huiran made last night had already told her that something unusual had happened. She didn't think that her master was in the mood to play with a woman at this moment.

"Master, what happened to Alice?" (End of this chapter)
