Chapter 12 The King's Love
"Please sit down." After leading Lin Yu to the living area, Cui Jian was busy preparing meals, thinking that this little girl was really brave. She dared to come to the mountains alone to meet someone who had a grudge against her. She was so beautiful and knew that she was in good health. She didn't wear much.
Lin Yu did not sit down immediately, but looked around the living area. This place was very tidy, but not as neat and clean as obsessive-compulsive disorder, giving people a very comfortable feeling. Lin Yu sat down and asked, "It's too lonely to be alone in the mountains. You can raise some pets."
A murderous aura rose from his dantian. Cui Jian picked up the rice cooker and put it on the table, then went to get the bowls and chopsticks: "I bought two goldfish a month ago, but they both died." That's not possible, right? Could Bing Ci and Nemo ask Miss Lin to take the risk to test them?
Lin Yu did not continue to talk about pets, but was attracted by the rice in the rice cooker, which contained eggs, sliced sausages, shredded barbecued pork, etc., and a lot of sauce. When Cui Jian stirred it with a rice spoon, the aroma was fragrant and the color was attractive. Lin Yu concealed his saliva and said lightly: "Not bad, it can reach the level of a small restaurant."
Cui Jian said as he was getting his food: "It's far from good, it's just kindergarten level."
Lin Yu didn't say anything else. He picked up the bowl and chopsticks, picked up some rice with chopsticks and put it in his mouth. After chewing, he nodded: "It's okay."
If you have bad intentions, ten Lin Yus would be given to you for free. How dare you eat before the host even starts eating?
Lin Yu's eating posture is very good-looking, and his hands are also beautiful. There is no way, the wife of a rich man must be good-looking as a basic requirement, and with the continuous optimization of genes, it is not easy to be ugly.
Lin Yu looked up and asked, "Is there any water?"
"There is soup." You want to drink this too? Cui Jian took a basin of duck soup from the pressure cooker, and then took soup bowls for Lin Yu and himself and filled them with a public spoon.
Lin Yu used a soup spoon to gently push away the layer of oil and water on top, scooped up the clear soup and took a sip, then asked, "What's in it?"
"Ginger slices, seasonings, and the like."
Lin Yu nodded, took two more sips, and asked, "What's for dinner?"
You want to get a free dinner with an ID card? Are you a human being?
Cui Jian replied: "Braised chicken with rice."
Lin Yu nodded again. She felt that Cui Jian's behavior was a bit strange. In terms of diet and life, Cui Jian was a person who pursued the quality of life. Comfortable chairs, clean living environment, and exquisite food. But how could such a person be willing to stay in the mountains as an administrator?
Lin Yu asked: "Have you heard of the king's love?"
Cui Jian nodded: "I have heard that the love of the people belongs to themselves, and the love of the king belongs to the country." People can marry whoever they like, but the king has no right to choose his own wife. The essence of this sentence is marriage alliance.
The main reason why Jia Baoyu could not marry Lin Daiyu in Dream of the Red Chamber was because Jia Baoyu was the only son in the Jia family and he was the only tool for marriage. Although the Lin family was a wealthy family, they were one level lower than the Xue family.
Modern marriages are also emerging one after another, and are most common in chaebol families. Some couples don't even have a wedding night after marriage, and they sleep in their own rooms and live their own lives without interfering with each other. Some people don't want to be sacrificed, but they enjoy wealth and glory, and they must stand up when the family needs you.
There is a characteristic of Korean conglomerates. Their business is not limited to automobiles, semiconductors, etc. They even extend their tentacles to street restaurants, fresh fruits, barber shops, and many industries have the shadow of conglomerates. Conglomerates usually do not specialize in a certain project, but are often operated by several conglomerates together. In this way, there is a difference in the closeness and distance between conglomerates. Marriage has become a relatively important means of business cooperation. Of course, with the development of civilization, children are usually not forced to marry. If the other party's personal conditions are too poor, the family will also refuse.
Cui Jian didn't know why Lin Yu mentioned the king's love.
Lin Yu did not keep the secret and said, "Li Qin is from the Li family who controls the Jumu Group. One of my cousins has performed very well among the grandchildren of the Lin Group and has outstanding character. He likes Li Qin very much. If Li Qin agrees, they will get engaged at the end of the year and get married tomorrow summer."
Cui Jian nodded: "Miss Lin said that the character is good, so it must be excellent."
Lin Yu asked back: "What does this mean?"
Cui Jian said: "At least I have passed Miss Lin's test." Facing the thorny attack, Lin Yu was not angry and asked: "What do you want to say?"
Cui Jian shook his head: "No, I'm just a small administrator. Your affairs have nothing to do with me."
Lin Yu stared at Cui Jian for a long time and said, "No other ideas?"
Cui Jian simply answered: "No."
Lin Yu: "I didn't expect you to be so heartless."
Cui Jian asked, "Are you instigating me to snatch the bride? Could it be that the Lin Group disagrees with this marriage and wants to use me to destroy it?"
Lin Yu was speechless for a moment: "She still misses you."
Cui Jian smiled casually: "Then you should tell her not to think about this mess of mine."
Lin Yu's eyes tightened: "You are not surprised at all about Li Qin's background."
Cui Jian: "I've already been surprised by you. The person who lets you taste poison must be of high status."
Lin Yu was speechless again: "I'm curious about one thing, how many emotional experiences have you had in your recovered memories?"
After hearing this, Cui Jian couldn't help but think of a person and a picture.
Seven years ago, Cui Jian, who had just become the Seven Killing Moon, received his first target. Lao Jin, as a senior, was Cui Jian's mentor for his first mission. He looked down on the rookie Cui Jian and gave Cui Jian the lowest difficulty target, No. 7.
The target is a middle-aged couple. The wife has been engaged in trafficking women before marriage. Most of them are from poor countries in Southeast Asia. They deceive the girls into trusting them by offering them the names of cross-border dating and employment. After these girls arrived in South Korea and Japan, some of them became surrogate mothers, and some became cash cows for local criminals. Because they have no identity and cannot speak the language, even if the police are called, many people cannot be punished, let alone the people behind the scenes.
The couple started to launder their money while engaging in the human trafficking business. Because the husband had family ties with a certain consortium, was familiar with local gangs, and the wife's family had relatives who were members of the parliament, they soon established their own small business empire and became new chaebols.
Target No. 7 is a girl of the same age as Cui Jian. She is an illegitimate daughter who was recognized by her family only after her mother died a year ago, but her status among her direct relatives is very low.
As several children and parents were killed one after another, the couple became like frightened birds, the Korean police also felt they were facing a great enemy, but No. 7 became the person forgotten in the corner.
That rainy night, No. 7 played "Moonlight" alone in the piano room. After the song ended, she heard the sound of bullets being loaded behind her, but she did not call for help. While quietly waiting for death, No. 7 said, "Can I see the world before I die?" It turned out that she was a blind girl who had no money to treat her eye disease. After entering the family, the couple thought she could be used to bring people together, so they contacted a doctor for her, and next week was the day for her surgery.
No. 7: "My 18th birthday is in a month. I'll wait for you here." No pleading, just expressing his wish.
