54 Night on the banks of the Thames
Leaving the option to Uncle Tian, Lin Yilong became more stable for the rest of the night, and only played a little when arranging the seats, and arranged Samantha, who had changed into a dress and came again, to sit next to him, and did not let her sit next to her mother.
"It's a rehearsal for the future. Lin Yilong smiled and instructed Samantha, "Our dinner tonight is an official reception, and according to reason, Samantha is our employee and should sit on my side." ”
"Okay, then let's toast to Miss Tian's successful employment. Lin Yilong's actions made Uncle Tian a little relieved, and took over Lin Yilong's theme, "I wish Miss Tian a brilliant and colorful professional life in the future." ”
......
"Are you interested in Uncle Tian's daughter?" On the way home, Mother Lin said worriedly.
"No, there are some things I can tell you in two days. The only thing I can say now is that Uncle Tian has a desire to live here in London for a long time. Lin Yilong explained.
Mother Lin was immediately silent.
"What do you mean?" Father Lin was confused.
"Uncle Tian's current job has a certain degree of confidentiality, and he can't go abroad. Lin Yilong explained, "If he can make this decision to 'want to settle abroad', it means..."
Lin Yilong didn't say any more.
"What do you mean..."Father Lin saw the impatient expressions of his son and wife, and with a flash of inspiration, he knew what Lin Yilong wanted to say - it is likely that this classmate of Mother Lin was affected by the turmoil between the upper echelons these days and wanted to get out.
"You can help with this, we don't have the qualifications to do it, you just follow the general standards, even if you can get involved more, don't do that. Father Lin admonished.
Mother Lin didn't answer, but looking at her face, it also took time to digest the news.
"Your dad is right. Before arriving home, Mother Lin affirmed Father Lin's caution, "These things are not something we can participate in; don't be too enthusiastic and take the initiative to help your Uncle Tian, it's good to be able to 'do your best' so much that you can't see it." ”
"Then mother, will you introduce him to the financing channel you are considering introducing?" Lin Yilong asked, "Whether the funds can leave the country or not is the biggest problem, as for me, the legal rules and professional standards are the same, and it will make no difference if you change to another lawyer." ”
"Besides, my rule is, unless I want to, if no one asks, don't say it. Mother Lin replied, "Unless he asks me about it, this question ......."
"He'll definitely ask. Lin Yilong said, "Don't forget, it was Mom who introduced a lot of people with this need to my friend through him." ”
"If he asks, let's talk about it. Mother Lin fell silent again.
If Lin's father and mother knew that Lin Yilong and Xu Zhenkun were shorting in the secondary market, they wouldn't be able to say this. When Lin Yilong was at odds with Lotus, he was already deeply involved in events that Lin's father considered "unqualified to participate" in terms of economy. As for whether to help Uncle Tian's family, the main thing is whether Lin Yilong subjectively wants to or is willing to help - this 250,000 pounds a year consultant contract, throwing away the necessary expenses, Lin Yilong, as one of the seven partners, can only get 20,000 pounds a year - not to mention the "Cwmdoncin capital" he controls, even if you count the weekly subsidy of Bracken Forest Farm, it is more than the income of this year's consultant contract.
The three of them returned to the Riverside Street apartment without saying a word, and continued the day's routine with their own thoughts.
The next night, Lin Yilong sat in an inconspicuous corner and watched Samantha and Amy's performance the whole way, from the position of the performance booth, although both of them belonged to the front row of small-scale group dancers and backup dancers, although it was obvious that Amy's position was more eye-catching than Samantha's.
At the end of the show, there was a small buffet attended by the students and their loved ones, but Amy didn't go under the pretext of taking the plane home that night, but just said goodbye to her roommate Samantha, who had been with her for a year, and took the tube alone to Paddington Station with her trolley suitcase.
Amy didn't see Lin Yilong in the theater, and she couldn't help but feel a little regretful, and before the two met, she could only wait without complaint.
As the date time drew closer, Amy's heart tugged, she didn't know if she had been abandoned before it started.
Amy was walking between the platforms to South Wales and Heathrow, and for a few minutes she wanted to hop on the Train to Heathrow and fly away, but she didn't take the step and curled up in the corner of the bench on the platform.
"Amy!" Lin Yilong called from behind.
"Oh, Mr. Lin. Amy ran to Lin Yilong and hugged Lin Yilong's arm.
"What do you say today - you do dance beautifully, but I don't want you to continue to dance for others next year, go on stage, and be the protagonist of a ballet, right?" Lin Yilong commented, taking out a small flash drive and handing it to Amy.
"You're going?" Amy didn't quite believe Lin Yilong's words, but the flash drive in her hand was real.
"Of course. Lin Yilong replied, "I also invited a special cameraman, we went together, and after the editing, I came right away." ”
"Can we go on a date?" Amy asked.
"At least until June next year, no. Lin Yilong gave an answer that made Amy a little disappointed at the same time, "You know ......"
Even if the legal requirement in the UK for this is 16 years old (14 years old in the Celestial Empire), as long as Lin Yilong pays for Amy's sponsorship, the age will automatically increase - whether Amy is out of the original intention or not, and whether she and Lin Yilong are consensual or not, she must reach the age of 18 before she can become an adult - in contrast, the law allows Lin Yilong to use his financial advantage to make the Yeon sisters and Katie submit, but because of her age, Amy is temporarily protected from Lin Yilong's poisonous hands.
"Then let's ......." Amy didn't know what to do, she didn't know what Lin Yilong would arrange for her during the holidays.
"I found you a teacher. Lin Yilong said, "This holiday, you will live with her, and she will take care of your life." In addition to that, I also arrange for you to study something else for the rest of the time, such as English. ”
Amy lowered her head in shame, her English was really not good - this is why Amy, despite her excellent physical condition, could not go further.
"Get in the car. Lin Yilong patted the girl's shoulder affectionately and hugged her to get on the long-distance bus.
Soon after sitting in her seat, Amy fell into Lin Yilong's arms as if she was very casually, as if she had fallen asleep from exertion. Only when she felt that Lin Yilong was not paying attention to her did Amy's eyes widen in some disappointment, calculating her luck and misfortune.
