After divorce, I can hear the voice of the future
Chapter 315: Edinburgh
Chapter 315: Edinburgh
"Try it first, but we'll talk later."
Lu Liang was speechless. He knew why they came, but he didn't own the New York Stock Exchange, so he couldn't just pass it whenever he wanted.
It is true that help cannot be free, the key is that you have to be able to help before you are qualified to make requests, otherwise you are just a clown.
"Old Lu, how about you come with me to New York at the end of the month so we can test the waters first?" Xiao Wang suddenly suggested.
In the past few months, he had to travel between China and the West for the listing review, so he borrowed a private plane from Lao Wang to ensure a worry-free journey.
"You go explore the way and find out the situation, and I'll go over there when the time comes."
Lu Liang thought of Zhuo Yifan, who should have arrived in Edinburgh by now. If nothing unexpected happened, he should go there and then visit New York.
Xiao Wang looked at Zhu Hu and Zhou Hongwei, and they both nodded in agreement with the decision.
Lu Liang's appearance fee is bound to be high, and it probably cannot be solved with money. Unless there are very difficult problems, it is best not to let him appear.
Xiao Wang nodded: "That's fine, I'll go explore the way first."
At the same time, the plane that Zhuo Yifan was on landed at Edinburgh Airport.
Although it was his first time traveling abroad, he made careful plans in advance, contacted the local Chinese tour guide early, and rented an apartment hotel near the University of Edinburgh.
"Mr. Zhuo, are you here to visit a friend?"
The Chinese tour guide was all smiles and very talkative, mainly because Zhuo Yifan was very generous. He paid him 4100 pounds a day, which is about yuan in RMB.
Just help him work for two days. Even though the prices in Edinburgh are high, it is enough for a family to live here for a month.
"Yeah, I'm here to visit a friend."
Zhuo Yifan stared blankly at the white clouds and blue sky outside the window, still thinking about how to complete the task assigned by Boss Lu.
At first, he thought about hiring a private detective. After all, the funding provided by Boss Lu was basically unlimited. But after thinking it over again and again, he gave up.
As the most popular financial upstart in the country and abroad, he, as a secretary, traveled thousands of miles to Edinburgh just to investigate a girl.
This task was full of imagination. For the sake of Boss Lu's reputation, he decided to investigate it personally and let as few people know as possible.
"Did you have a fight with your girlfriend? She ignored you, so you came here?" the Chinese tour guide asked with a smile.
Zhuo Yifan is not very old, about twenty-five or twenty-six years old, and looks like an international student, but the enrollment season has long passed.
If you are an old student who has just returned from China, there is no need to hire a tour guide.
Zhuo Yifan is on a business trip, but he doesn’t look like a businessman at his age.
After eliminating all other options, this is the only answer left.
Zhuo Yifan admitted guiltily: "I guess so."
I hope Boss Lu won’t blame him. He gave himself this identity just for the sake of the mission.
The Chinese tour guide laughed: "I have been in England for more than ten years, and I have been to the Sherlock Holmes site on Baker Street several times. I still have some basic insight."
"..."
Zhuo Yifan was speechless. He wanted to say that Baker Street existed, but Sherlock Holmes did not exist, and the ruins were just built based on the novel.
When he was preparing for the Level 8 English test, he had already read the original version of the Sherlock Holmes detective collection through and through.
The Chinese tour guide asked again: "Which college does that girl attend? My daughter is also studying there, I can help you find her."
Zhuo Yifan hurriedly said, "School of Education."
Edinburgh is one of the oldest universities in the world and a prestigious research university with nine colleges.
Su Wanyu applied for the School of Education. Judging from her information, she will probably work in an education-related industry in the future.
"Fuck, my daughter does the same thing. Bro, to be honest, I've always believed that education is a very lucrative industry, especially Chinese-English bilingual private lessons for Chinese people. A lesson starts at 30 pounds."
"This is also closely related to the fact that our country is becoming stronger and stronger. Chinese people want to open their eyes to the world, and foreigners also want to understand the mysterious University of Tokyo. You don't know that last time we worshipped the master, those foreigners thought we were some kind of voodoo cult. It made me laugh to death..."
A tour guide is a talkative job, but if you are an introvert, you probably can't be a tour guide.
Zhuo Yifan had to ask for help, so he could only listen patiently until the end, "Uncle, what's your daughter's name? Can you introduce her to me? I have something to ask her."
"My daughter's name is Zheng Xiaoxuan. It seems that she doesn't have classes today, so I just asked her to wait for us downstairs of the apartment building."
The tour guide was all smiles and said he would rather demolish ten temples than break up a marriage in order to save the relationship between a young couple.
He was very happy to receive the tour guide fee.
Zhuo Yifan laughed and lowered his head to write a work report.
He was here on a business trip, but the content of the trip was a little personal.
Soon, the tour guide drove the car to the Romi Hotel Apartments in the South Campus of Edinburgh.
Zhuo Yifan's eyes widened, as if he had seen a ghost. There were two girls standing downstairs of the apartment building in front of him.
A short-haired girl with a boyish face was kicking stones on the roadside out of boredom. When a dog passed by, she would reach out and pat the dog's head.
There was a girl with long flowing hair next to her, who tried to stop her with a helpless look on her face, telling her not to be too naughty or she might get bitten by the dog.
She was wearing a white sun hat and an emerald green dress, the hem of which fluttered in the wind.
It can be clearly seen that her belly is slightly bulging, her face is exquisite and beautiful, and there is an indelible sadness between her brows.
"Hello, I'm going to stop the car."
Uncle Zheng greeted him and drove into the parking lot. "Xiao Su is such a miserable child. She is pregnant and doesn't even know who the father of her child is. Girls should have more self-respect and self-love."
"I just heard that she was shopping with my daughter. She is also from the College of Education, so I called her over to ask for you."
Uncle Zheng parked the car, picked up the luggage, and specifically instructed: "Mr. Zhuo, please don't mention Xiao Su later."
"I have never understood why such a well-behaved girl doesn't even know who the father of her child is." "But I heard that her due date seems to be in August this year. This is very strange. Xiao Su only came in January."
"I guess the child's father is from China, and he came out just to get his Edinburgh residence..."
Zhuo Yifan's smile was stiff: "Maybe."
He seemed to know something extraordinary and was suddenly a little touched. How could he deserve such attention from Boss Lu?
I'm also a little worried, will Su Wanyu know him?
Although he is the second generation of the secretary, he has attended many important occasions with Lu Liang. If you pay a little attention, you should be able to see him often appearing beside Lu Liang.
If Su Wanyu knew him, then the task given by Boss Lu would be declared a failure.
Zhuo Yifan suddenly felt something was wrong and said quickly, "Uncle Zheng, I remembered that I forgot something at the airport. Let's go back again."
Uncle Zheng: "It's more than 80 kilometers, and it will take two hours to go back and forth. Why don't you call the airport staff to help deliver it."
"Please, uncle, that thing is very important to me, it's an engagement ring." Zhuo Yifan begged and used his money ability.
It cost 300 pounds for another round trip, and 200 pounds was for his daughters. He was very sorry for letting them down.
"Well, it's not about the money. Since it's such an important thing as the ring, I'll go with you again."
Uncle Zheng smiled happily, silently put the luggage back into the trunk, increased the speed, and drove out of the parking lot.
"Please." Zhuo Yifan said sincerely.
He understands the principle of not showing off one's wealth.
But Uncle Zheng has a daughter who goes to the same school as the target, and they seem to be friends.
So we can rule out bad guys.
Zheng Xiaoxuan also received a call from her father and was furious: "You made us wait so long in vain. Let's split it in half when we meet. I want four hundred."
"It has to be done no matter what." She hung up the phone angrily, took out 200 pounds from her bag and handed it to Su Wanyu: "Here, it's yours."
"What's wrong?" Su Wanyu tilted her head in confusion.
"That guy forgot his engagement ring at the airport and asked my dad to go with him again."
Zheng Xiaoxuan couldn't help laughing. It was hard to imagine that she was that unfortunate yet happy classmate who knew such a careless person.
"But he was polite enough to give him another 300 pounds. 200 of them were for my father, but I cheated him out of ."
"It's 400 now, we'll split it in half, you can keep it, think of it as the money your aunt gives you for the baby's milk powder."
Zheng Xiaoxuan's personality is very similar to her father's. She is carefree and talkative. She suddenly touched Su Wanyu's belly and asked, "How was the last checkup?"
"The doctor said the baby is healthy." Su Wanyu refused in vain and had to take the 200 pounds given by Zheng Xiaoxuan.
"how about you?"
"What's wrong with me?"
"You're not going to tell that scumbag yet. Do you want the baby to be born with a photo of his father in his hand?"
Su Wanyu was silent for a long time: "I haven't thought about it yet."
"Oh~~ I finally got it out."
Zheng Xiaoxuan was very proud, and stretched out her index finger to tease Su Wanyu's chin: "Even if I tell you, how could such a good kid not even know who the father of the child is."
"Whoever it is, ask him to come over. If he doesn't want to do something, I will teach him what to do!"
She narrowed her eyes and gritted her teeth.
Zheng Xiaoxuan still remembers the time when she first met Su Wanyu.
It was raining that day. Su Wanyu didn't bring an umbrella. She had just arrived and had no friends, so she stood alone at the door of the teaching building.
He kept looking at the sky, as if waiting for the rain to stop.
But I waited for a very long time.
The rain hasn't stopped yet.
It was like she was trapped.
Sometimes an adult collapses in an instant.
For the first time, Zheng Xiaoxuan realized that crying and shedding tears could be silent, and her pitiful appearance had a concrete form of expression.
As a woman, she couldn't help but want to hold her in her arms and take good care of her. How could that man be so cruel?
"He doesn't know, so please stop asking."
Su Wanyu didn't want to say more, Zheng Xiaoxuan sighed: "We made a small profit today, let's go eat something good."
At the same time, Zhuo Yifan also came to the airport again and called Boss Lu in a hurry.
He told him everything he knew and what he had seen, but he had not yet conducted an in-depth investigation, so the news could not be guaranteed to be authentic.
"I see. Good job. Keep investigating."
No more tonight, will update tomorrow at noon.
