"If I had to describe my relationship with Sir Merlot in one sentence, it would be to paraphrase a line from the movie – 'Without you, it's important to me.' On the train back to South Wales, Lin Yilong said suddenly.

"What do you mean. Katie was a little confused.

This is the second time in 24 hours that Lin Yilong has made a round trip between London and South Wales. The reason this time is that Katie took the initiative to plan to "officially meet" with Sister Yeon under the introduction of Lin Yilong.

"Actually, I've been thinking about a question since breakfast. Lin Yilong said, "How did that good alumnus of yours, His Excellency Congressman Fisk, invite the philanthropist who is the mediator to have breakfast with me?" ”

"Did you come up with any conclusions?"

"Yes. ”

"What is it?"

"I don't have to let outsiders share my interests. Lin Yilong replied, "Actually, I have never understood why some people always unrealistically obtain some kind of security by selling benefits. Think about it, if you bring in investment for various reasons, your bargaining power is low, things don't go the way you want them to, but they become dispensable because of various forces, and you end up being taken away by tricks – even I would do that. ”

"What's the conclusion?" asked Katie, "and the purpose of bringing in those investors in those books is not just to be financially adequate. ”

"Theoretically, but investors can also exit the market, and it won't give you more convenience. "In other words, not only does this tie your hands, but it also reduces your right to speak – if you can't even defend your own property, and if you insist on anything, those people will get an inch and get you out completely." ”

"Can you bring in outside investment in the first place, that is, the problems that have been encountered before, are you still unsolvable?" Katie asked, "such as the kind of strong deterrent that Mr. Fisk mentioned?"

"If you do that, you have to think about whether you're going to go through it in the future. Lin Yilong immediately denied it, "If there is no limit to your behavior, don't condemn other people's behavior without a bottom line." It is precisely because of this order, which is procedurally fair but substantively unfair, that those behind the law reap the relative greatest benefits, that they strive to maintain it. ”

"So..."

"As I said, it's best to cut off the coveted hand from the beginning. Lin Yilong replied, "Because people who really have this kind of thinking, the more they understand you, the more they can let go of the last resort and be unrestrained." So, for me, 'It's important to me to be without you. ’”

Katie was silent: Locals often treat these slightly wealthy immigrants as fat pigs to be slaughtered in the countryside, but if they really meet a "stranger" like Lin Yilong, who has lived for ten years, they will become sluggish - after all, they really know too little about Lin Yilong.

"I wonder who the child will be like when he grows up?" Katie didn't want to continue discussing this kind of issue with Lin Yilong, so she changed the subject.

"I've been wondering, what do I look like?" Lin Yilong asked jokingly.

"Actually, we don't have a systematic idea of what Oriental people look like. Katie replied, "Personally, I don't hate you about your looks—but only after you've lost weight, not when we first met." ”

"I think aesthetics should all have commonalities, and we Orientals can distinguish at least what Europeans look like. Lin Yilong objected to Katie's answer, "What do you think Nadia and Vera look like?"

"Although we should be rivals in love, I admit that they are very beautiful. Katie admitted.

"That's not the end of it. Lin Yilong replied, "If it is the same aesthetic education, I feel that the aesthetic ability of the East and the West should be similar, at least not far apart." There can be no such thing as what the East thinks is beautiful and what the West thinks is bleak, what the West thinks is beautiful and what the East thinks is ugly. ”

"That's a bit too XX incorrect. Katie laughed.

"That's it, people always say that you want to pursue the beauty of the soul, but you still have a belly, and you can't know this kind of thing after all. People are willing to discover inner beauty – and the precondition for this is the word 'willing'. Lin Yilong continued to express his views in depth, "If the appearance is really disgusting, you can't be 'close' no matter what." ”

"Good looks are good looks, there's nothing to say, just like Katie you, you can be 'reluctantly' classified as good-looking. Lin Yilong smiled, "So, of course, I want my child to be beautiful." There's not much to say about it. ”

"Today it seems that you have been stimulated by that Sir Merlot and the philanthropist!" Katie was speechless by Lin Yilong, and seemed to be reluctantly classified by Lin Yilong as "good-looking" rather than "pretty", "So, do you think the child looks like you or me?"

"You've met my parents, who do you think I look like?" Lin Yilong asked rhetorically.

"Hmm...... All I can say is that you're picking on your parents' shortcomings!" Katie thought about it for a moment and took the opportunity to retaliate, "So, I want the child to look more like me." ”

"Alas...."Lin Yilong found that he was exploited by Katie in language, "It's better to look like you, and at the same time, you can see that it's my child." ”

"Speaking of Peugeot, why don't you tell me about the ballerina?" Katie felt that there was nothing more interesting to her, so she found another topic seemingly at random, "I want to know now." ”

"People need to find beauty. Lin Yilong is determined to continue answering aesthetic questions.

"Actually, if you think about it, we girls can be regarded as a certain identity of yours. "For example, as the controller of capital, you need the sisters Nadia and Vera to be the head of the business department, as a lawyer, you need me to help you with the management chores, as a farmer, you need the ballet girl to keep in touch with the civilized world, and so on—that's all your side - even without us, you'd be looking for Polly or Cellly."

"This ballet girl, I'm afraid it's unlikely that Yilong really has a conscience or a hot head. ”

"If that's the case, why don't I go after Bonnie and stay away from her?" Lin Yilong asked rhetorically.

"Because to tell the truth, it's not me boasting, whether it's me, Nadia, or Vera, it's all what you can find, and the one that can get you the most bang for your buck at a low price is the most cost-effective. Your classmate Bonnie is obviously not so cost-effective, but this is your aesthetics. ”

"Full marks!" Lin Yilong replied.
