Chapter 14 - The Insider
Coming to the Lin Group again, Xiao Qiao's mood was completely different from last time. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
He appeared with Lin Yuxin, and the eyes of the two security guards who spoke disrespectfully to him last time were about to fall out, and they may have realized that Xiao Qiao's identity was rising, so they only stayed far away and didn't dare to step forward to stop them.
"If you don't have any status, you can't even look down on a security guard." Xiao Qiao shook his head and smiled undeniably. He hadn't been exposed to anything at this level before, so he didn't know, but now he finally understands why so many people like to chase fame and fortune.
"What are you giggling at there alone?" Lin Yuxin turned around and asked.
Xiao Qiao said: "It's nothing, President Lin is still waiting, let's go up quickly." ā
"Cut, mysterious." Lin Yuxin snorted lightly and pressed the button on the elevator.
Along the way to the top floor, Lin Yuxin didn't knock on the door, and directly pushed open the door of the president's office.
"Excuse me, President Lin, Uncle Cai, Assistant Yang." Xiao Qiao said. He was just a bodyguard and didn't have Lin Yuxin's privileges, so he greeted respectfully.
"Here, Xin'er, Xiao Qiao." Seeing that his daughter was safe and sound, Lin He breathed a sigh of relief: "Assistant Yang, you go out first, and we will talk about the bidding later." ā
"Okay." Assistant Yang nodded, not showing dissatisfaction with being excluded. She packed up the documents and got up directly, and smiled at him when she walked past Xiao Qiao: "Congratulations, Xiao Qiao, you really became the bodyguard of the eldest lady." ā
"Thanks to Assistant Yang, otherwise I might not have been able to get to this office." Xiao Qiao said sincerely. If it weren't for Assistant Yang's help, he wouldn't have known how long he would have to be entangled with the two security guards at the door.
Assistant Yang nodded in acceptance of Xiao Qiao's thanks, and then paced out of the office and closed the door from the outside.
"Dad, I'm coming!" Lin Yuxin threw herself directly into Lin He's arms and said coquettishly.
"Wow~" Xiao Qiao's bones were so broken that he almost fell. I didn't expect Lin Yuxin to have such a little woman's side, what kind of scene would it be if she was coquettish with herself, it was exciting to think about it.
"Okay, I'm so old and I love to be coquettish." Lin He patted Lin Yuxin's little head dotingly: "Xiao Qiao, don't stand still, sit down quickly." ā
Xiao Qiao responded: "Thank you, President Lin." ā
Lin He said: "What is your name President Lin, it's too outward, you can call me Uncle Lin in the future." Today's event is thanks to you, otherwise Xin'er may be ......"
He didn't say any more, after all, the next words were not lucky. Xiao Qiao understood and said: "Uncle Lin, in fact, the main responsibility for today's incident is still on me, and I took the eldest lady to the vegetable market to buy vegetables on my own initiative. ā
Seeing Xiao Qiao blame all the blame on himself, Lin Yuxin was afraid that his father would blame him again. Hurriedly explained to him: "Actually, Xiao Qiao asked me to go home alone and go to buy vegetables by myself, but I didn't go to the vegetable market and thought it was very strange, so I had to follow him." ā
"I didn't call you two here to see how deep your feelings are." Lin He said helplessly. He didn't mean to blame anyone, the two little guys were quite considerate of each other.
The speaker was unintentional but the listener was intentional, Xiao Qiao and Lin Yuxin both made a big red face. Xiao Qiao coughed dryly to hide his embarrassment: "Uncle Lin, let's talk about the matter against the eldest lady this time." We decided to go out to buy groceries just temporarily, the other party can be in such a short period of time to lead us into the set, think about it is also a big deal, can you tell me what is the identity of those who want to harm the eldest lady? ā
Lin He frowned and took two puffs of his cigarette fiercely, still wondering whether to tell Xiao Qiao the whole thing. After a while, he spoke: "Actually, I didn't tell you the reason before, because I didn't want you to get involved in trouble." Of course, there are also elements in this that I miscalculated my opponents, and I didn't expect them to dare to be so ruthless. Since you asked today, then I have nothing to hide, and after you listen to my words, you can reconsider whether to continue to stay by Xin'er's side. ā
Hearing this, Lin Yuxin was stunned, and her body stiffened. She desperately wanted to know Xiao Qiao's choice, and wanted to know whether he would leave or stay. "If you stay, forget it, if you don't, I'm... I'll ignore you again! Lin Yuxin muttered to herself with some anger.
However, Xiao Qiao did not disappoint her, he said almost without thinking: "Uncle Lin, if I was really afraid of wanting to leave, I would have left the eldest lady in the vegetable market and fled." The enemy is in the open and I am in the dark, and it is inevitable that there will be negligence when I can only defend passively every time, and only by mastering the opponent's situation and taking the initiative to attack can we ensure the safety of the eldest lady. ā
"Whew~" Lin Yuxin exhaled a long breath, as if the stone hanging in her heart had fallen. "It turns out that he asked this to better protect himself." Lin Yuxin's heart was sweet.
Cai Bo looked at her with a strange expression, the speed of this eldest lady's change of face caught up with the weather forecast. One second it was cloudy, and the next second it was clear. "Does it have anything to do with what Xiao Qiao said?" Thinking like this, Cai Bo's eyes when he looked at Xiao Qiao were even more weird.
"After a lifetime of business, it is impossible to say that there is no enemy, and sometimes even an unintentional action will offend people without knowing it. In order to fear retaliation, I have always arranged bodyguards to secretly protect Xin'er. Speaking of this, Lin He's expression gradually softened: "Children are the hearts and minds of parents, and I don't want her to be polluted by the black smoke miasma in the mall." ā
Xiao Qiao thought of his parents who were far away from his hometown, and his heart was also warm, and he didn't know how they were doing after not seeing him for more than half a year. He sighed, and a faint sadness formed in his chest, and his name was homesickness.
He was homesick.
I want to think of that simple but warm home.
"But just half a month ago, something happened." Lin He's voice finally woke Xiao Qiao up from his memories: "The bodyguard who has been responsible for secretly protecting Xin'er was found dead in the grass not far from the villa, with only a wound on his throat all over his body. ā
Xiao Qiao asked, "Are there any photos from that time?" ā
Lin He nodded: "I have a little relationship with the police, so I also left a document." Cai Bo, go get it and show it to Xiao Qiao. ā
"Okay." Cai Bo walked to the glass cabinet next to him, took out a file bag and handed it to Xiao Qiao.
Xiao Qiao took out the photo and looked at it, and immediately frowned. He was not used to this kind of bloody scene, it was red, and more than 50% of the whole picture was blood. Lying in a pool of blood was the slain bodyguard. His eyes widened and he had a dead expression.
"What do you think? Xiao Qiao. Lin He saw him put down the photo and asked out loud.
"What do you think? Brother Yu. Xiao Qiao asked Xiang Yu again.
ā...... I said that you kid is clever, people ask you to ask me, and you can still pretend to be X in front of the goddess when it's over. Xiang Yu said angrily: "You can't rely too much on the power of the spirit, you must first solve the problem yourself." ā
"It's true." Xiao Qiao said embarrassedly. Thinking about it carefully, what Xiang Yu said is indeed reasonable, and it is almost a habit to find them when he encounters something. If this goes on for a long time, I guess I will be more wasteful than before. "I understand, Brother Yu, just watch from the side."
"That's pretty much it." Xiang Yu nodded with interest and looked over his shoulder.
Xiao Qiao began to explain to Lin He while flipping through the information: "The corpse is neatly dressed, which means that there was no violent fight before death, and this bodyguard was killed without the slightest resistance; The fatal wound was a knife wound in the throat, looking at this autopsy picture, the knife edge was smooth and flat, and it was obvious that the opponent was a master of assassination; He only killed the bodyguard and didn't do anything to the eldest lady, it should be just to remind Uncle Lin, and I deduce that he should have been sent by the opponent that Uncle Lin met on his recent project. ā
"It's been about half a month since the last assassination, and the reason why they did it today is to test my strength, and to urge Uncle Lin to withdraw from the new project as soon as possible." Xiao Qiao closed the pile of information.
Lin Yuxin's eyes were full of brilliance, and she realized that when Xiao Qiao was focused, she was so confident and calm, as if everything was in his hands. And judging from the stunned expressions of his father and Cai Bo, Xiao Qiao's inference should be inseparable.
Excellence.
Be of good character.
Strong reasoning skills.
Lin Yuxin added another label to Xiao Qiao. As she learned more and more about Xiao Qiao, she fell deeper and deeper until she couldn't extricate herself.
"Uncle Lin?" Seeing that Lin He didn't speak, Xiao Qiao reminded softly.
"Ahhh Lin Hegan laughed: "Your analysis is very correct, there is a new energy development project in the West Lake District recently, and I and the other three companies are ready to bid for competition." ā
Different from conventional energy, solar energy, wind energy, geothermal energy, tidal energy, biomass energy, etc. are some of the energy sources that are currently being promoted. These energy sources have the advantages of renewability and non-polluting the environment, and are a strategic project that needs to be developed and utilized urgently.
In a vernacular, there is plenty of oil and water.
"Is the Lin Group still involved in this business?" Xiao Qiao was surprised.
"Of course." Lin He said as a matter of course: "I am a businessman, and I am in business, and I must not let go of a profitable project." ā
Xiao Qiao was stunned and asked, "Then Uncle Lin, you can tell me about the situation of these three competitors." ā
"Among the three companies, there is a company called Jianhui Real Estate. This company is far smaller than the three of us, and even if I dropped out of the bid, he wouldn't have won the project. ā
"The second one is called Xinlei Group, I have had several business dealings with their boss Chu Haoxuan before, and the relationship is not good or bad, and he is also one of my main opponents in this bid."
"And the last one." Lin He gritted his teeth and said, "The first family in Jianghang, the Yin family. ā
