Chapter 138: Seaside Villa
Chen Zhan said to Lin Qingrou with great gratitude: "Miss Lin, I have always known that you are a kind person. I hugged you when you were young, and I kind of watched you grow up little by little. I am really grateful that you are willing to help me today, and our whole family will remember your kindness to us. ”
Lin Qingrou waved her hand frequently to signal that Chen Zhanda didn't have to be so grateful, although she blurted out that she promised to help him find a suitable job in such a scene, but if she thought about it carefully, she really couldn't think of any good way, and she was not sure that she would be able to fulfill her promise.
So she didn't want Chen Zhan to trust and thank her too much, in case she didn't keep her promise in the end, I'm afraid there would be no way to end it then.
Chen Zhan couldn't stop being grateful to Lin Qingrou, and Lin Qingrou reluctantly chatted with Chen Zhan for a while before she could finally get out and leave. The driver had been waiting outside for a long time, and Lin Qingrou politely apologized to the driver with guilt. The driver felt that a woman like Lin Qingrou from a wealthy family did not have the slightest pampered frame, so he told Lin Qingrou very gently that he was not unhappy because of waiting.
The company has not been equipped with full-time drivers for a long time, so this company colleague who was temporarily assigned by Lin Qinghe to serve as a driver was a little dissatisfied.
But he saw that Lin Qingrou was so gentle, kind and easy-going, and very humble and polite to others, so some of the emotions in his heart slowly dissipated.
For many employees in the company, like this temporary driver, there are not so many opportunities to contact Lin Qingrou.
Because of this, many of them have extremely absurd prejudices against Lin Qingrou due to strangeness. But in fact, after many people have been in contact with Lin Qingrou for a long time, they can find that this eldest lady of the Lin family is not as lofty and prodigal as they imagined.
Of course, how many people can really see the truth? There are still many people who only rely on the short-term and long-term, and think that Lin Qingrou is the scheming girl who did everything possible to climb into Du Zeming's bed, so as to marry into the Du family and save the Lin Group at the same time.
After picking up some of her luggage from Lin Qinghe's apartment, Lin Qingrou took a car and set off for Xiushan. Along the way, the weather was good, and the closer you got to the sea, you could clearly feel the salty and wet smell of the sea breeze.
Before leaving Lin Qinghe's office, Lin Qingrou got an address, which was her address in Xiushan, and it was also the first place she would go to in Xiushan this time.
Lin Qinghe didn't explain more, but just said that everything would be arranged by the people of Whitby Global Group when he got there. Lin Qingrou followed this address to a villa residential area very close to the coastline, and looked at the garden houses here one after another, and they all looked like they had just been built. Lin Qingrou couldn't help but turn on her phone, wanting to confirm again if they were in the wrong place.
In Lin Qingrou's view, since it is a temporary residence for the company's employees to work abroad, even if the conditions are not bad, it will not be so generous as to live in a villa. But after confirming the address repeatedly, she realized that this was indeed the destination she was going to reach. While hesitating, the driver had already parked the car at the gate of a bungalow.
Lin Qingrou glanced at the driver in confusion, and the driver immediately reacted and stretched out his hand to point to the house number next to the gate.
Number 186, yes. Lin Qingrou pushed the door and got out of the car, the whole house looks like a castle in the Western fairy tale world, just standing at the gate and peeking in, you can know that there is not only a very large garden lawn inside, but also a very warm pavilion in a corner of the garden with ingenuity.
Although Lin Qingrou still had some doubts about whether she had found the wrong place, she had to dial the phone number left on the address at this time to confirm it.
The phone was quickly connected, and a voice came from the other end that made Lin Qingrou feel very familiar. Lin Qingrou originally planned to hand the phone to the driver, and trouble the driver to explain their identities and intentions over the phone.
But Lin Qingrou's name was quickly called out on the other end of the phone. This surprised Lin Qingrou, but before she could react, the door was immediately opened.
"Please come in." The person on the other end of the line said.
Lin Qingrou had no choice but to pick up her suitcase, and the driver quickly took other luggage from the trunk of the car, and the two walked towards the bungalow. Lin Qingrou saw that the door had been opened, so she walked straight in.
"It's going well, Miss Lin." The voice on the phone just now came again, accompanied by the sound of high heels tapping, Liu Anfei appeared in front of Lin Qingrou.
Lin Qingrou was surprised again, and quickly greeted Liu Anfei politely.
Liu Anfei walked up to Lin Qingrou with a smile, and reached out to take the suitcase that Lin Qingrou was holding in her hand.
"You can put these bags aside first, I prepared coffee, how about you sit down and rest for a while?" Liu Anfei said enthusiastically.
The driver obviously didn't want to waste too much time here, and after some excuses, he offered to go back first. Lin Qingrou thanked him for sending him to the door, and after turning around and entering the house, Liu Anfei had already brought the coffee to her.
"I don't know if Blue Mountain coffee meets Miss Lin's taste, but my friend made a special trip to bring back pure coffee beans from Jamaica." After Liu Anfei asked Lin Qingrou to sit down, he also sat on the sofa opposite.
Lin Qingrou actually has no special interest in coffee, of course, the one she drinks the most is Blue Mountain coffee, because she used to always prepare this kind of coffee at home, because Du Zeming only drinks this flavor. Therefore, Lin Qingrou is very familiar with the rich and mellow taste of Blue Mountain coffee.
"Recently, I just started drinking this coffee, and I didn't get used to the taste at first, and I always felt a sour taste. However, after drinking it for a while, I found that I already liked it. Liu Anfei said with a smile.
Lin Qingrou didn't care about Liu Anfei's preference for coffee, she kept thinking about why she met her here, but fortunately, Liu Anfei's greetings were almost over, and she quickly explained the situation here to Lin Qingrou.
"Miss Lin, I was entrusted by Mr. Du to wait for you here. As you can see, this house is where you will live in Xiushan in the future, and you don't have to feel too luxurious or burdened, which is the most basic treatment that Whitby Global Group provides to its partners. Mr. Du is busy with official business, so he asked me to help receive you here first, and take you to familiarize yourself with the environment here, as well as some aspects that may be involved in daily life. ”
Lin Qingrou nodded gratefully, thinking to herself that Liu Anfei was not the legal counsel specially hired by Whitby Global Group, how could he still care about receiving such chores.
couldn't help but think about it, Liu Anfei got up and took her upstairs to get acquainted with it from room to room. The interior of the bungalow is a duplex structure, and Lin Qingrou's bedroom is a south-facing master bedroom, and the bright floor-to-ceiling windows can effortlessly see the magnificent waves of the sea.
"This is your bedroom, and the furniture in it is all newly added, but it has been treated with formaldehyde. I have prepared everything I can think of, such as quilts, towels, toiletries, etc., and you can tell me if you need anything else. Liu Anfei introduced them one by one in the room.
Lin Qingrou felt that this kind of treatment was not like letting her come to work, but like she was here to enjoy a comfortable holiday. She felt that this arrangement was a bit too detailed and thoughtful, which made her very embarrassed.
"Miss Liu, thank you for the arrangement, I really don't know how to thank you, it's too troublesome for you." Lin Qingrou expressed her gratitude by typing on her mobile phone.
Liu Anfei has always been very kind to Lin Qingrou, since the two of them first met.
On the contrary, Lin Qingrou always gets along with Liu Anfei in a very polite but passive way, and now Lin Qingrou feels a little ashamed of this, and feels that she should be more active and friendly.
In addition to Song Miao, Lin Qingrou is always difficult to take the initiative to make friends because of some factors of her personality, and in her intimate relationship with Song Miao, it was initially because of Song Miao's lively and generous personality that the two were able to quickly get acquainted with and establish a close friendship.
Lin Qingrou always plays the passive side in a relationship like this. There is a fundamental reason for this, that is, she has always been unable to avoid the problem, she is different from ordinary people.
Because of this specialness, Lin Qingrou is full of inferiority complex and cowardice from the bottom of her heart, she feels that she is not popular with others, she is afraid of communicating with others, and even in every relationship with others, she feels that she is the humble party.
When her parents were still alive, Lin Qingrou was still able to face life bravely and confidently under the warmth and care of her family. But since the sad changes in her family, she has lost her sense of security, she has become less trusting of others, and has become more and more sensitive and cowardly, so that in her marriage with Du Zeming, she has repeatedly made compromises and accepted it.
Even now she longs to become stronger, more capable enough to support herself, until she can protect Du Lin.
However, in Lin Qingrou's subconscious, behind the character of being accustomed to being humble and friendly in front of others, her scruples and worries about social interaction are hidden.
"Okay, Miss Lin, if you don't have any other questions, please enjoy the beginning of your new life here. I think it will take you a lot of time just to set up the room and pack your luggage, so I'll go back to work first, and if you need anything, you are always welcome to call me. Liu Anfei said with a smile.
