Lin Wanwan subconsciously glanced at Lin Shishi, knowing this was a trap set by Xie Sui, but in Lin Shishi's eyes, it was as if he was worried she would cling to him.
The more Lin Wanwan didn't want to do something, the more Lin Shishi wanted it. She immediately said, "Going to Hong Kong City? Sister, where is brother-in-law doing so well that he needs a secretary? It's best to keep it in the family. Why don't I go?"
"Don't even think about it."
Lin Wanwan refused outright, looking very defensive.
The man in the suit was an employee hired by Lin Nan, named Chen Jiang. He was a capable young man who spoke Mandarin well, which was why he was sent here.
Seeing Lin Wanwan's displeased expression, Chen Jiang quickly said, "Madam Xie, please don't be angry. General Manager Xie repeatedly instructed me not to let you worry. Let me handle this with Miss Xie Min. I'll speak to her, you don't need to get upset."
Lin Wanwan smiled, "I'm not that fragile. Xie Min is my second sister. She hasn't returned yet. Please sit down, wait a moment, and I'll pour you some tea."
"No need, Sister, you sit. I'll do it, I'll pour the tea."
Lin Shishi, unusually diligent, poured tea for Chen Jiang and sat next to him, asking, "What business is my brother-in-law in?"
"Finance, investment. Later, it will expand into entertainment, electronics manufacturing, real estate, and so on. Although it's just the beginning, the prospects are very broad."
"By the way, Madam Xie, the company name has already been registered. It's called Wan Sui Company. General Manager Xie specifically asked me to tell you."
Lin Wanwan's heart felt sweet. Was he not afraid of people laughing at him for choosing such a name?
Lin Shishi was consumed by jealousy. Why did all the good things happen to her?
"What's this gentleman's name? I'm your General Manager Xie's sister-in-law. What kind of work does a secretary do? I can do it."
Chen Jiang said, "A secretary handles incoming and outgoing documents, arranges the boss's schedule, and most importantly, needs to know English. Do you know English?"
Lin Shishi guiltily replied, "I can learn it. If I don't know, others definitely won't."
Chen Jiang said, "That's true. General Manager Xie said there will be unified training. After all, talented people in the mainland are those who know English. This is not a problem, but I don't have the final say. Miss Xie Min needs to approve."
Lin Shishi and Xie Min were not on good terms. Xie Min wished she could beat her with a broom, really beat her. She was also very fierce in her scolding, unlike the good-tempered Lin Wanwan.
As they were talking, Xie Min returned, carrying a basket of groceries, having bought fish and meat. In her other hand, she carried ribs and some vegetables. Seeing Lin Shishi, her face changed drastically, "You have such thick skin, how dare you show your face here? Get out, don't make me hit you!"
Lin Shishi tried to appease her, "Second Sister, don't be angry. You're pregnant now, and getting angry is bad for the baby. I'm really here to apologize. I was wrong. You can hit me to vent your anger."
Xie Min was pregnant, just three months along, two months later than Lin Wanwan. They could raise their pregnancies together, which made Chen Weimin extremely happy, finally becoming a father in his middle age.
Qing Qing and Wen Wen were very sensible. They knew how good Chen Weimin was to them and had long accepted him as their father. They were eagerly awaiting their younger siblings in their mother's womb and actively studied to not worry their mother.
Xie Min found Lin Shishi most annoying, like sticky candy, impossible to get rid of. If killing were not a crime, she would want to kill her.
Xie Min wore a sullen face, indifferent to Lin Shishi's attempts at appeasement, "What do you want by trying so hard to please me?" She was only interested in a gain.
Chen Jiang stood up and said, "Hello, you must be Miss Xie Min. I am General Manager Xie's assistant. I'm here to pick you up."
Xie Min glanced at Lin Wanwan, not understanding what was going on.
Lin Wanwan pulled her into the house and explained Xie Sui's plan. Xie Min hesitated, "Will this work? Your sister is so shameless. What if she latches onto Xiao Sui? It's a man and a woman alone, and you're not around. If something happens between them, wouldn't it be a joke?"
Lin Wanwan said, "I trust Xie Sui. He's not that kind of person now." In the past, he had the desire but not the courage. He could flirt with girls a couple of times, but if he really did something, he was afraid of being arrested. His crimes would lead to the firing squad. Lin Wanwan saw Xie Sui's changes. If Xie Sui were a philanderer, countless women would have thrown themselves at him long ago; he wouldn't have waited until now.
Xie Min said, "You said it. If something happens later, don't blame me for not warning you!"
"It's fine. If he dares to mess around, I'll cripple him first!"
Xie Min laughed, "How will you cripple him? Castrate him?"
"That's not impossible either."
Xie Min burst into laughter. This sister-in-law was truly ruthless.
Lin Shishi inquired about Xie Sui's company outside. The more she heard, the more she yearned for it. He spent hundreds of millions, and his earnings were in the billions. It was a life she could never have dreamed of. This strengthened her resolve to go to Hong Kong City. Once there, could her brother-in-law kill her? She didn't know that sometimes, living was worse than dying.
Xie Min began to arrange the matter. A secretary didn't have to be female; capable young people could also be trained. As long as they were smart, eager to learn, and presentable. She selected two young people, and Lin Shishi clung to them, leaving together.
Lin Wanwan's mood was complicated. Lin Shishi was, after all, her sister. Although she disliked her intensely and thought she deserved death, she couldn't actually kill her. Murder was illegal, and she couldn't explain it to her parents.
Xie Sui only comforted her, saying that he wouldn't commit a crime just for Lin Shishi; he had other arrangements. He would make her useful.
As soon as Lin Shishi arrived in Hong Kong City, she began training in English and various other subjects, including horse riding, golf, swimming, wine tasting, dancing, and so on. Of course, the two young people were trained differently, in financial management and economic knowledge, truly being groomed as secretaries. Xie Sui intended to send her into the entertainment industry. Wasn't she vain? He would satisfy her vanity. With her dark heart, shamelessness, and willingness to do anything, she could become famous. He would turn her into the hottest star, a money-making tree for himself. He even hired a cosmetic surgeon from the Sun Kingdom to give Lin Shishi plastic surgery, making her beautiful and perfect, creating a "net celebrity face" of later generations, so she wouldn't appear on screen with a face identical to Wanwan's.
Lin Shishi didn't expect Xie Sui to value her so much. She studied diligently, not afraid of hardship or exhaustion. For a better future, she was willing to endure any suffering. Xie Sui handed her over to specialized training personnel, forbade her from leaving the house, and temporarily stopped paying attention to her. Lin Shishi had no identification, so she couldn't run away. Coupled with the grand promises Xie Sui made, she lived a life of good food, good drink, and a big house, enjoying herself.
Xie Sui began to make a move against the Jun family, investing a large sum of money to short the Jun Corporation. The Du family, a group of prodigal sons, were also shorted along with them. Because of the recent rescue, more people trusted Xie Sui's capabilities and were willing to finance him. Funding of 3 billion yuan was raised, and a true gamble began, stirring up the stock market.
