The concentration of high-end hotels in Hong Kong is not on Hong Kong Island, but in the area from Hung Hom MTR station to Tsim Sha Tsui East. Here you can see the prosperous and brightly lit Hong Kong Island directly through Victoria Harbour, and the most eye-catching sign from the side of Hong Kong Island to see Tsim Sha Tsui East is not the Hutchison Whampoa building, but the big sign of "China XX Bank".

Lin Yilong and Bonnie's date was at the Star Pier under that sign.

Still politely hugging and greeting, the two took a taxi to the former Kowloon Walled City.

The Kowloon Walled City is the most famous slum in Hong Kong, and it was not only the mainlanders who came here after the founding of the People's Republic of China to take refuge here, but also many Nanyang Chinese who wanted to earn income here. After the joint statement reached an agreement, the authorities eradicated the area, razing the former Kowloon Walled City into an open park. The Southeast Asian restaurants in the surrounding area have not moved away, but have stayed here.

This is also the first meal Bonnie and Lin Yilong ate together after arriving in Hong Kong, so that if the two meet in the future and can't find a better place, they will also come here.

The two ordered Thai egg prawn curry and satay beef, as well as drinks.

Lin Yilong and Bonnie, who already knew what the other party was going to say, couldn't find anything to start chatting about.

Lin Yilong probably came over to explain why he wanted to hire Bonnie's husband Ray, and Bonnie asked Lin Yilong to help her get an idea on this issue.

"I've been reading Constance and Niels on Facebook for a long time. "It's just that I didn't know you were the organizer because you never left a message on FB." ”

"I also heard Ray tell me about the whole thing. From an outsider's point of view, it's hard to comment. ”

Lin Yilong really can't comment, he was originally recruited by Ray to Allen Binghamton, and when there are any ideas that need to be insisted on, Ray also contributes a lot on the side, if only in terms of interests, he should support Bonnie's husband more, that is, Ray should be more deserved.

"I know, it's just that in the entire Xiangjiang, you are the only one who can chat with me like before. "I always want to complain." ”

In short, the story of Ray's illegitimate child, Lin Yilong listened to Ray himself tell it once, listened to Katie convey it, and listened to Bonnie herself narrate it again.

But this kind of parent is short, Lin Yilong doesn't know and shouldn't be silent.

Before Bonnie and Ray met in youth debt, only Ray and his former girlfriend coordinated, not to mention Lin Yilong, and even Bonnie had no say in this issue. Even if things are really as Ray claims, and it seems that Bonnie, as a wife, is not by Ray's side and suffers poverty, it seems that he has broken the promise made at the time of the marriage vow, but Bonnie's personal doubts are whether Ray is telling the truth.

There is no way to know this, because Lei was in contact with the kind of girl who lived casually at that time, and after having a child, he relied on child support deducted from his ex-boyfriend to live, and it was not until a few months of paternity testing that he knew that Lei was the biological father.

"What would you do if you were me?" it was evident that Bonnie was in a hesitation period, and it was a decision in decision-making, she only needed one decision, and the other consequences and strategies had already been thought out.

As for Bonnie's happy marriage, Lin Yilong can probably guess the reason for Bonnie's hesitation, Bonnie's job was introduced to the SEC by Ray's father who worked in the reinsurance industry, and the two of them had a lot of income and should have a good life, because the problem of having children out of wedlock led to the financial imbalance between the two, which is the real reason. In constant contact, Lin Yilong knew that his classmate was a very realistic girl, and when it came to the happiness of marriage, emotion was just an add-on and was not considered.

For his own interests, Lin Yilong certainly didn't want to see Katie come to him, so he directly encouraged Katie to choose to leave. In Lin Yilong's view, Katie, who works at the Xiangjiang SEC, has a very good source, and Lei has good working skills, and the two are in line with each other, and "cooperation is mutually beneficial".

The annoyance and pity shown by Bonnie when the two met was just an illusion, and what Bonnie really cared about was whether she could get a job from Lin Yilong with a similar salary as her now, and if she could, she could leave smoothly, and if she couldn't, it was estimated that she would still endure it.

With this in mind, the advantages and disadvantages of choosing a side are much better.

Lin Yilong believes in the clear distinction between public and private, friends belong to friends, and business belongs to business. Since Bonnie added "public goods" when she was seeking emotional solace, Lin Yilong could only do business: he began to explain the issue of dividends and treatment for a year if Lei Neng became his partner. and put Bonnie, who had never formally practiced, into a matching position. In short, Lin Yilong blew Ray's career prospects into a partner, and assured Bonnie that she could get rid of joining Lynns as a partner if the time was right.

Although Lin Yilong has no spiritual cleanliness, and is even black from beginning to end, he has never hesitated to choose between interests, and Bonnie and him are just each other. So much so that his hints are explicit, letting Bonnie understand his decision in the first place.

"I beg your pardon, I'm not saying anything else. Lin Yilong concluded, "I also believe that Bonnie can achieve higher achievements than Lei, and in the current situation, I am only allowed to choose one of the two when choosing a partner, and I can only choose Lei with my experience in the professional field." ”

"I also believe that Bonnie will be higher in your accomplishments than Ray, but if I think about you now, you can only go and be Ray's assistant, or be Nils's assistant, it's not right. Lin Yilong said.

In fact, in the case of the legal profession, experience and the level of work in the case determine the salary of this profession, even if Bonnie is now licensed to practice law, but the SEC's compliance career does not add much luster to her salary level, unless she has a particularly outstanding career, otherwise during the marriage, Bonnie's salary will never be comparable to her husband's.

"I understand, don't take it personally, I'm just here to complain. Bonnie's face turned a little pale, and she hurriedly changed the topic to other places, such as the Bracken Tree Farm where Lin Yilong lived, the lives of Alex and Nils, and so on.

Unable to get support from Lin Yilong, Bonnie remained graceful and kind, and the two of them continued to eat, and according to the habit of drinking afternoon tea in England, they took the ferry to Central for afternoon tea, and then returned to their respective accommodations.

"You owe me a meal. Lin Yilong was the first to call Lei.

"When you have time, when this time passes, I'll please!" Ray happily agreed.
