Chapter 2551

At this moment, Lin Wan'er walked over from the main hall with a light gait.

The moment she saw Lin Wan'er, only one thought crossed Liu Manqiong's mind: "How can there be such a beautiful girl?"

This was not because Liu Manqiong was inexperienced or making a fuss.

In fact, because of her father, who was naturally flirtatious, she could be said to have seen countless beauties at a young age.

The entertainment industry in Hong Kong and most of Asia was her father's hunting ground back then. The female stars who had scandals with him were a dime a dozen in media reports. Which one of them wasn't a beauty who could sink fish and drop geese, or close the moon and shame the flowers?

What's more, for the past few decades, Hong Kong had always been the fashion and financial center of all of Asia. In that narrow and cramped corner of the city, who knew how many handsome men and beautiful women from all over the world had gathered? So Liu Manqiong's aesthetic sense was already somewhat fatigued, even to the point of being numb.

But even so, when she saw Lin Wan'er for the first time, she still felt that she was a heavenly being.

Lin Wan'er's beauty was a type she had almost never seen before.

It was no longer just perfect beyond criticism; it was perfect beyond imagination.

In other words, if Liu Manqiong were to imagine the appearance of the most beautiful woman she could think of in her mind, and then compare that woman with Lin Wan'er, there would still be an insurmountable gap between them.

When Lin Wan'er came to Liu Manqiong, Liu Manqiong was still shocked by her appearance.

Qiu Yingshan, who was on the side, said: "Manqiong, let me introduce you. This is my grand-niece, Lin Xiaowan, who just came from Malaysia and will be a freshman in the archaeology major at Jin Ling University when school starts."

Liu Manqiong came back to her senses and then asked with some surprise: "What did you say? Archaeology major?"

"Yes." Qiu Yingshan nodded and said with a smile: "It's the archaeology major. My grand-niece likes traditional Chinese culture and is interested in those cultural relics and historic sites, so she chose archaeology."

As he spoke, he introduced her to Lin Wan'er: "Xiaowan, this is the granddaughter of a family friend I just told you about, Liu Manqiong. She is going to your school this afternoon to interview for a lecturer position."

Lin Wan'er smiled lightly, reached out her hand very politely, and said with a smile: "Hello, Sister Manqiong! Since we will be in the same school in the future, I'll have to ask you to take care of me!"

Liu Manqiong also hurriedly reached out to shake her hand and then said seriously: "It's not 100% certain yet that I can be successfully admitted by Jin Ling University, but don't worry, as long as I am admitted, I will definitely do my best to take care of and help you in the future!"

Lin Wan'er nodded and asked with a smile: "I wonder what major Sister Manqiong studied in school?"

Liu Manqiong said: "I studied Chinese language, majoring in Chinese language and literature as well as ancient Chinese."

Lin Wan'er asked curiously: "I wonder if the archaeology major needs to take Chinese language courses?"

Liu Manqiong shook her head: "I'm really not sure about this, because the archaeology major is generally a category of history. Logically speaking, there should be some Chinese language courses, but it depends on the specific teaching arrangements of each school."

Lin Wan'er said with a smile: "If there are, that's the best. If not, I'll go and take Sister Manqiong's courses as electives then."

Although Liu Manqiong was not good at socializing, facing the smile of a perfect girl like Lin Wan'er, she suddenly became much more cheerful and said with a pleasant smile: "Okay! If I am hired, you must come and support me then!"

Seeing that the two of them were getting along so well, Qiu Yingshan couldn't help but say with satisfaction: "It's rare for you two to be so like-minded. Everyone, let's go in and sit down and chat slowly."

The two happily agreed, and the group moved to the living room.

In the living room, after Liu Manqiong and Lin Wan'er sat down, Lin Wan'er asked her curiously: "Sister Manqiong, why did you choose to come to Jin Ling from Hong Kong for development? From an international first-tier city to an inland second-tier city, the gap is still quite large."

Liu Manqiong smiled slightly and once again brought out the set of rhetoric she had said to Sister Xian on the road, which was nothing more than feeling that the pace in Hong Kong was too fast, there were too many people and too little land, and the urban resources were severely squeezed, so the overall feeling was not as comfortable as living in an inland second-tier city.

After listening, Lin Wan'er nodded in agreement, but she didn't think so at all in her heart.

She felt that Liu Manqiong's rhetoric sounded right at first glance. In an international first-tier city like Hong Kong, the pace naturally wouldn't be slow, and Hong Kong indeed had many people and little land. Many people worked hard all their lives and couldn't afford a small house of thirty or forty square meters, so many young people in Hong Kong had begun to gradually develop in the mainland, especially in the special economic zone adjacent to Hong Kong, which attracted many young people from Hong Kong.

However, Lin Wan'er also knew very well that Hong Kong was a place where heaven and hell coexisted.

There, it was very normal for a poor family of six or seven to squeeze into a ten-square-meter room, and some people even lived in places where they couldn't even put a bed.

But, also in Hong Kong, top wealthy people could build super luxury mansions like palaces on the mountainside of the bay and live in luxury flats of hundreds or thousands of square meters in skyscrapers.

The paper-drunk and gold-obsessed Hong Kong had always been a paradise for the rich in the past few decades. Liu Manqiong's family background was extremely wealthy. The pace of Hong Kong, the number of people, and the amount of land had almost nothing to do with her directly.

Her reason was like a top wealthy person claiming to the outside world that he decided to leave the United States because the security in the United States was not good and shootings always happened.

At first glance, this reason seemed to have no problem at all.

In a country like the United States, everyone held guns, armed robberies happened every day, zero-dollar shopping was happening all the time, and major shootings happened hundreds or thousands of times a year. Living there, one indeed had to face unknown security risks every day.

But in fact, these dangers were only for the lower and middle classes of American society.

In other words, ordinary people living in the United States indeed had to face the danger of guns, but for those top wealthy people living in the United States, they were much safer in the United States than in any other country.

Because they had enough money to build their walls high enough and put electric fences on them, and at the same time had enough money to hire enough people with enough guns to guard their safety 24 hours a day.

Moreover, in the top wealthy areas in the United States, the police station wanted to open one at the south gate of the community and one at the north gate, and then each police station would send eight police cars and sixteen armed patrol officers to patrol near the community 24 hours a day.

If a gunman wanted to carry out a shooting, he would definitely not choose a top wealthy area, because on the way he drove into the wealthy area, he would be stopped by patrol police because the car he was driving was not good enough.

Under such circumstances, let alone daring to pull out a gun, even if he put his hand into his pocket to take out a piece of chewing gum, he would be beaten into a hornet's nest within a second.

And even if he had the ability to avoid the police patrol, as long as he dared to approach the manors of those super wealthy people, dozens of guns in the dark would immediately aim at him.

Wanting to carry out a shooting under such circumstances was simply wishful thinking. He was afraid that he wouldn't even have the chance to shoot himself.

And this sense of security of the super wealthy was precisely what other countries couldn't give, because most countries didn't allow ordinary people to hold guns. It was simply wishful thinking for the rich to openly find dozens of armed bodyguards to protect themselves. Even if they hired some bodyguards, it would be in vain once they encountered armed bandits.

The reason why the eldest young master of the Li family was kidnapped in Hong Kong back then was because the bandits had guns, while the eldest young master of the Li family and his bodyguards didn't.

If the same thing happened in the United States, as long as enough budget was given to the security company, they could equip a few bulletproof Cadillacs comparable to armored vehicles on the way the eldest young master went home, and more than a dozen bodyguards holding assault rifles to protect him closely. Those bandits like A-Qiang and A-Huan were afraid that they wouldn't even be enough to fill the gaps in these bodyguards' teeth.

Therefore, if an ordinary person said that they felt life in the United States was not safe enough, that was likely their true thought.

But if a super wealthy person said the same thing to the outside world, that must be his excuse, not his true thought.

Therefore, Lin Wan'er concluded that Liu Manqiong coming to Jin Ling must have another reason.

Lin Wan'er's logical thinking was that one must first look at rationality in everything. Once this matter contradicted common sense, it must not escape seven words: abnormal events must have demons.

Moreover, just like doing multiplication, the larger the base and the multiplier, the larger the result naturally. The reverse reasoning is the same. If the result is very large, the base and the multiplier will not be small.

Therefore, Lin Wan'er couldn't help but ponder in her heart: "Liu Manqiong is a wealthy daughter with a family fortune of one hundred billion. To make a wealthy daughter with a family fortune of one hundred billion make such an abnormal move, then this 'demon' is by no means an ordinary 'demon'. It must be a big demon... This basic logic also applies to me. I came here, not really because I like this place, or because my ancestors have any connection with this place, but because there is a huge demon hidden here, and that demon is Ye Chen!"

Thinking of this, Lin Wan'er frowned and thought: "And on the surface of Jin Ling, there is almost no 'demon' that can match Liu Manqiong's status. Could it be... that this Liu Manqiong also came for Ye Chen?"
