Manhattan Reborn 1978

Hong Kong.

Afternoon~

Villa at No. 60, Mount Galley Road, Victoria Peak on the island.

Luo Qingren, a student of Professor Bartley and David's senior, stood in front of the villa door with his briefcase and looked at it for a moment, then reached out and rang the doorbell.

A moment later, in the living room of the villa.

Cui Yingying, who was leading Ruan Xiaoling to tidy up the room just now, invited Luo Qingren to sit down first, took off her apron and said with an apologetic smile.

"We just moved here yesterday, and there are still many commonly used things that we haven't added..."

"It's okay, you're too polite." Luo Qingren smiled and waved his hand, looked up at Ruan Xiaoling who brought hot tea, and suddenly understood what David meant by specifically asking him to come here.

After he took the tea cup, he first introduced himself to Cui Yingying in detail, and then roughly recounted the process of seeing David off at the airport this morning.

Surprise flashed in Cui Yingying's eyes, and she looked at the large envelope handed over by Luo Qingren without reaching out to take it.

Luo Qingren put down the envelope with a smile, pondered for a few seconds, placed his business card in front of Cui Yingying, and spoke in English.

"David said that he asked me to help send you this money so that you can use it to renovate this place and buy some things you like during your stay in Xiangjiang."

"My family is engaged in timber business in various countries in South Asia. Which style of furniture do you like? You can come to me at any time."

"OK, thanks!"

"Haha~ You're too polite." Luo Qingren smiled and waved his hand, chatted casually with Cui Yingying for a few more words, and then prepared to pick up his briefcase and leave.

But when he just stood up and before he said goodbye, there was another sound of the doorbell behind him.

Cui Yingying, who had already stood up to see off the guests, showed a relaxed smile when she heard the doorbell. She said a few polite words to Luo Qingren, temporarily retained him, and walked out of the villa quickly.

Outside the gate of the villa.

Lawyer Liu Haijie, who had helped Cui Yingying with her immigration application, saw Cui Yingying walking toward him like the wind, waved her hands and smiled.

"Congratulations on moving into your new home!"

"Thank you! You came just in time!" Cui Yingying said quickly after opening the door for lawyer Liu Haijie.

"I just had a guest here. His name is Luo Qingren, a professor at Xiangjiang University. His family is in the timber business."

"Do you know him?"

"David never mentioned him to me..."

"Luo?" Lawyer Liu Haijie was stunned for a moment, but he quickly came to his senses, nodded slightly and smiled.

"I do know that there is a Luo family that does rubber and timber business in various countries in South Asia."

"But I have never met this Luo Qingren. I have only heard of his name from his family members."

"Oh, that's good." Cui Yingying put her hand on her chest, breathed out slowly, and said with a relaxed smile.

"Thank you, Lawyer Liu!"

"You're welcome, these are all small things." Liu Haijie raised the briefcase in his hand and said with a smile.

"I brought the materials for Ruan Xiaoling's immigration application and the application for changing the property rights of this villa."

"Ah...yes, yes!"

"I'm so sorry!"

"Please come in, let's go in and talk."

. . .

in the living room.

Luo Qingren saw Cui Yingying and lawyer Liu Haijie walking in, and suddenly felt that Cui Yingying's attitude towards him seemed to be a different person.

She invited lawyer Liu Haijie to sit down, gave a brief introduction to the two of them, nodded slightly to Luo Qingren with an apologetic look, turned and walked into the kitchen.

"Mr. Luo, this is our first meeting!" Lawyer Liu Haijie, who had just learned about Cui Yingying's concerns, took out his business card and handed it to Luo Qingren, smiling.

"Oh...thank you!" After Luo Qingren took the business card, he quickly took out his own and smiled.

"I once heard my brother mention Lawyer Liu's name at home."

"Oh?"

"Your brother is..."

"His name is Luo Qingan."

"I see!"

"It turns out you are Mr. Luo's younger brother!"

"No wonder I always feel very familiar when I hear your name."

Lawyer Liu Haijie had a look of surprise on his face, but he had some doubts in his heart about the second son of the Luo family who had returned from studying in the United States.

So, after Cui Yingying came back with hot tea, he told Luo Qingren and Cui Yingying a lot of things that he didn't know before through chatting.

For example, Cui Yingying's man, Mr. David Coleman, is a student of Professor Bartlet, the Nobel laureate in economics, and also a disciple of Luo Qingren. .

After the two met at the Peninsula Hotel, David took Luo Qingren to the mysterious dinner and met Nariya Murli, the Indian independent director of HSBC.

Luo Qingren came here just to thank Mr. David Coleman and do him a small favor.

After a while.

The quick-thinking lawyer Liu Haijie put down his tea cup, glanced at Ruan Xiaoling who was "hiding" in the kitchen, took out a document from his briefcase, and said tentatively to Luo Qingren.

"I came here this time to help Mr. Coleman secure the property rights of this villa."

“When he was on the phone with me, he also specifically asked if there were any houses for sale at a suitable price in the surrounding area.”

"Mr. Luo, do you know about this?"

"No..." Luo Qingren looked down at the application document for property rights change on the table, an idea flashed in his head, he frowned and thought for a while and asked.

"Lawyer Liu, do you know where there are better villas for sale recently?"

"Haha~ What a coincidence. I just helped Mr. Pan and his family complete the immigration procedures at the end of last month."

"Who is Mr. Pan?" Luo Qingren felt his eyes light up and asked.

Liu Haijie deliberately glanced at Cui Yingying sitting next to him and said with a smile: "Xiangjiang is very small, you may have guessed him."

"That's right, it's the Mr. Pan who has had business cooperation with your family for more than ten years."

"Oh~" "I remember their villa...it's near here, right?"

"Yes, ours is the villa at No. 60 Mount Galley Road. The villa that Mr. Pan entrusted me to help sell is at No. 51-53 Mount Galley Road. It only takes about ten minutes to walk from here." Liu Haijie raised his finger and pointed out the window, smiling. .

"Hmm." Luo Qingren asked as his eyes fell on the house property rights documents again.

"Did Uncle Pan tell me how much their villa will cost?"

Liu Haijie could no longer hide the smile in his eyes at this moment. He raised two fingers and said: "Mr. Pan's asking price for the entire sale is 120 million yuan."

"You should be very familiar with their three townhouses, right?"

"Mr. Pan specially invited designers to open up the yards of these three villas and connect them together to create a large garden."

"Every time Mr. Pan holds a cocktail party at his home, it is almost always held in the garden."

Luo Qingren nodded slightly, thought for a few seconds, and then asked: "If I want to buy those three villas through you, can I buy them for 100 million yuan?"
