Everyone dies at one point.
Either physically.
Or socially.
Right now, Lin Nianhe felt that what she had cut off wasn’t just the phone call, but her lifeline.
With Su Yuncheng’s hearing not being inferior to hers, he must have heard every word she blurted out.
The reason he didn’t interrupt her was probably simple.
He wanted to keep listening!
If it were her, she wouldn’t have interrupted either!
Lin Nianhe covered her heart and sat beside the phone for a while, until the phone rang three tis, then she picked it up as if resigning to her fate.
"Hello, I am Lin Nianhe."
Her tone was quite ordinary, as if the person who had called back to the No.88 Courtyard wasn’t her.
"Nianhe."
It was Su Yuncheng’s voice on the other end of the phone.
"Oh? Brother Yuncheng," Lin Nianhe exclaid in surprise, "What a coincidence, you called just as I got back to the hotel!"
Su Yuncheng: "Were you sent back by eight porters?"
"Hmm? What are you talking about? I don’t understand?"
Student Xiao Lin decided to play dumb to the end.
Admitting it was absolutely impossible, the one who made the call just now was definitely not her Lin Nianhe, it might have been Lin Xiaohe, or even Lin Aidao.
Su Yuncheng chuckled lowly, his mood indiscernible: "You really don’t understand?"
Lin Nianhe retorted as if calling out a number: "I don’t understand!"
"Okay," Su Yuncheng’s tone beca a bit more serious, "Nianhe, you can use the Shen Family’s people, but don’t trust them, especially those workers, they can serve the Shen Family, and they can also work for others."
Since the victim had actively changed the topic, of course, Xiao Lin had to hurry down the steps provided.
"Yes, I know, I plan to rent a car tomorrow and drive myself." Lin Nianhe said, "But the attitude of the Shen Family is very clear, which is good news."
"Clear?" Su Yuncheng shifted his tone slightly, "I don’t think so."
"Brother Yuncheng, you’re just holding grudges."
"What grudge am I holding? The eight porters?"
"..."
Lin Nianhe took several deep breaths and smiled, her tone as firm as a declaration: "I didn’t ask for them, and I didn’t waver at all, really, I was even scared."
"So the Shen Family really wanted to send you eight n?"
Lin Nianhe’s eyes suddenly lit up.
"I was scared to death and you still don’t care about ?"
"..."
With one sentence, their positions shifted.
In the art of turning the tables, Student Xiao Lin was a grandmaster.
Lin Nianhe thought through all the sad matters from her past and present life, brewing up a tone so aggrieved it seed she might die: "I see, you don’t love anymore, right?"
"It’s not that," Su Yuncheng hurriedly denied, "I... I..."
He paused mid-sentence, and from Lin Nianhe’s end, she could hear the sound of a chair being moved and footsteps fading away.
After a while, when probably everyone in the room had left, Lin Nianhe heard Su Yuncheng’s voice again: "I love you."
Lin Nianhe burst into laughter.
Her conscience hurt for a mont.
"I love you too."
Lin Nianhe laughed cheerfully, "Don’t worry, not to ntion eight, even eighty or eight hundred, I can withstand the test."
"What about eight thousand?"
Lin Nianhe: "I’m not planning on using force to occupy Japan anyti soon."
"..."
...
The next day, Lin Nianhe slept until she naturally woke up, changed into a dress, casually tied her hair into a ponytail, and left to have breakfast.
She didn’t go to the hotel restaurant because she knew without thinking that there would be many people waiting for her there.
And she wasn’t ready to et them yet.
Lin Nianhe went directly to a wonton shop not far from the hotel, leisurely finished her breakfast, and just as she stepped out, she saw the Shen Family’s people and cars waiting for her.
It wasn’t that she recognized the people—Fifth Madam probably felt that the two who had sent her back to the hotel last night had left too quickly, and had switched them out for two others.
She recognized the car she had ridden in just last night.
Lin Nianhe now felt a headache whenever she saw n in suits, and her ears echoed with soone’s sour "eight bag carriers".
Oh, now there were ten.
She braced herself and went over, asking, "You two didn’t wait here all night, did you?"
"No, just arrived," the taller one replied.
You could tell he hadn’t been speaking Mandarin for long, seemingly with a belly full of words to say, but communication was difficult, so he swallowed them back.
Lin Nianhe silently sighed, thought for a mont, and said, "I would like to see Fourth Uncle Shen, thank you."
"Alright."
The other one opened the car door and even considerately extended his hand to help Lin Nianhe.
Lin Nianhe ignored his hand, bending over and stepping directly into the car.
Dare not touch, not daring to touch at all.
Otherwise, if Beijing’s jealous type found out, he’d nag her for a lifeti.
Shen Yu was handling business affairs at the Shen Family’s company.
He didn’t go to the Spring Trade Fair this year because Elder Shen felt he was more familiar with Lin Nianhe, and it was more appropriate for him to receive her or negotiate business.
But he still had work to do and couldn’t spend all day revolving around Lin Nianhe.
When he learned that Lin Nianhe was looking for him, he had just finished a piece of work and asked his secretary to bring Lin Nianhe to his office.
"Uncle Shen, I beg you, please ask Fifth Grandma to retract her divine powers."
Lin Nianhe entered the office, directly put her hands together in a pleading gesture.
Shen Yu also felt sowhat of a headache, he nodded again and again: "Okay, like this, I’ll have my secretary drive you, is that okay?"
"A female secretary?"
"A male secretary."
"Don’t, I get a headache as soon as I see n now," Lin Nianhe’s head was shaking like a rattle. "You might as well tell where the car rental is, I’ll drive myself."
"Then take my car." Shen Yu had his secretary fetch the car keys and smiled, asking, "Do you have any plans these days?"
"I plan to buy so Gold," Lin Nianhe sat down opposite him and said, "Nine hundred thousand worth."
"Buying more?" Shen Yu looked at her with interest, "You won’t consider investing in sothing else? Houses in Xiangjiang are also pretty good."
"It’s for a friend." Lin Nianhe explained concisely, "They want a more stable investnt."
Houses in Xiangjiang would indeed skyrocket in the future.
But that would be after the year 2003. Before that, although house prices in Xiangjiang were rising, the growth wasn’t dramatic, and there was a long period of decline around the turn of the millennium.
If buying, one should wait until there’s a big dip to buy.
Now investing in property wasn’t a good thod for quickly accumulating capital in the short term.
"Alright, I’ll have my secretary go with you to get the money, then he can buy it for you," Shen Yu said.
"Thank you, Uncle Shen," Lin Nianhe smiled and expressed her thanks.
"Don’t be polite at all," Shen Yu said, "When you bought, I also bought so, and now it’s almost doubled. If really thanking, I should be thanking you."
Lin Nianhe smiled and said, "That also deserves thanks, but if you’re not in a hurry, you might slow down the sale, I think it will rise so more in the next year or two."
"Sure, I haven’t touched it," Shen Yu picked up his coat, "I’ve finished my work for today, how about I take you to the ’Lan’ brand store to have a look?"
"Sure."
Lin Nianhe stood up as well.
Her precious tal augntation project had been agreed upon, next up was the real big deal.
