Xia Xiaolan also met some old friends, Daniel, a hotel management professional, thanked Xia Xiaolan after seeing her:
"You let me win the bet with others. I think I should treat you to dinner. Please don't look at me like this. Your Huaguo boyfriend is 'bruce lee'. I really dare not think otherwise."
Daniel raised his hands in surrender.
Xia Xiaolan chuckled, "So it's a meal of pure friendship?"
"I swear, very sincere friendship! You have been an intern in the firm for two months, don't you have any wonderful stories to share with your friends?"
That's really something to talk about.
The summer vacations of Daniel, Nancy and others were basically spent in hotel internships.
Nancy talked about the strange things that happened in the hotel, which made Xia Xiaolan laugh out loud.
"Xia, tell me about your internship!"
Xia Xiaolan started with the project of the Wilson Hotel. After hearing that the three major firms were bidding for the same project, and finally gmp won the bid, Nancy clapped her hands: "This is you! So you still went to Washington on business?"
Xia Xiaolan nodded.
Her two months have been more fulfilling than Nancy and Daniel imagined.
Hearing that Xia Xiaolan had accepted a commission to renovate a theater, Nancy wanted to scream.
Daniel asked the name of the theater, "This theater is not small and has a long history. I seem to have been there once or twice."
Moreover, this is also an asset under the name of the Wilson family, right?
Daniel felt that Xia Xiaolan and the Wilson family were too close, and Xia Xiaolan also felt that Daniel knew a lot. Xia Xiaolan was moved in her heart: "Danny, have you heard of a pair of siblings? They are both Chinese, and the younger sister is Tina. She is 18 years old this year. 19 years old, went to school at Columbia, brother named Fine, seems to have just found a job on Wall Street."
Daniel also appears to have come from a wealthier family.
There are several small circles of wealthy people in New York. These circles are relatively independent and sometimes overlap.
Xia Xiaolan felt that Daniel might know something.
Xia Xiaolan felt uncomfortable even if she didn't understand the weird familiarity.
But to Xia Xiaolan's disappointment, Daniel shook his head when he heard this, "There have never been two people like this in my social circle. Where did you know them?"
"At Mrs. Wilson's house, and Tina also lives on the Upper East Side."
Daniel couldn't bear to see Xia Xiaolan's disappointed expression, and added: "Perhaps I can give you some information, not from New York, who suddenly moved to the Upper East Side, must have some background, they need to be accepted by the local social circle, Mrs. Wilson should have acted as such a leading role."
Rich people who move suddenly will not be unknown, and they will integrate into a new social circle when they arrive in a new place.
Especially for some apartments on the Upper East Side, the consent of the apartment owners is required to move in. Each apartment has its own rules, some refuse lawyers to move in, and some refuse people in the entertainment industry to move in. If an apartment costs $1 million, it is not possible to buy it with $1 million. It takes at least 3- Proof of asset audit that is 5 times greater than the value of the apartment.
"You mean, if Tina lives there, she must have undergone asset verification This is to verify the background of the new owners, right?"
Daniel nodded, "I think you should understand that those apartments on the Upper East Side don't want to be neighbors with dubious people, such as gangster drug lords and the like."
So the gangster drug lord can't buy a house in the Upper East Side?
No, you can definitely buy it.
The money they used to buy the house had to be laundered, and at least it looked like they had to have a decent and convincing identity!
Although the money in the pockets of financial and bankers may not be much cleaner than that of drug lords, this is the rule established by the rich people who first entered the Upper East Side.
"I understand."
Daniel smiled, "I'll help you find out and tell you the news in a few days."
Nancy yelled, with an exaggerated expression, clamoring to draw a line with the two rich men.
Xia Xiaolan's head was full of black lines, "You are mistaken, my clients are the rich people in the Upper East Side."
So what do you do to inquire about the customer's background?
Now it's all so hard to come up with a decoration plan for someone?
Daniel didn't expose Xia Xiaolan, everyone has their own secrets, it's just a matter of effort for him.
After two days,As expected, Neil gave Xia Xiaolan some information.
"Tina and Fine are brothers and sisters from California. There are also many Chinese immigrants in Los Angeles. I heard that the family is engaged in import and export trade. Tina and Fine are their American names, and their Chinese surname is cheung."
Cheung.
?is the "Zhang" surname in Hong Kong-style pinyin.
Xia Xiaolan already knew about this, after all, she watched the contract signed by Tina.
The surname "Zhang" is very common.
Looking familiar, it is impossible to be a relative of Zhang Cui's family. Her relatives are not so promising that they immigrated to the United States early and struggled to become rich.
"So people in the Upper East Side don't know enough about the siblings. Cheung should be a patrilineal surname. What about their mother?"
Daniel shook his head, "I don't know about that. The apartment originally belonged to a Mr. Cheung, who gave it to Tina. It's a very common gift between family members. If you want to know more, maybe you should ask Wilson Ma'am, it looks like she is the one who guides Tina's activities in New York social circles, and she and Tina's family must be familiar."
Xia Xiaolan also knew that she should ask Mrs. Wilson.
Mrs. Wilson still doesn't know why she is so enthusiastic about her. Isn't this question a trap?
Maybe she could ask Jim for help.
Jim followed Zhou Yi recently, and he was probably going crazy from boredom
"Do you think there is something wrong with the siblings?"
Jim called Xia Xiaolan, originally to report Zhou Yi's situation as usual, but when Xia Xiaolan said it, he immediately put Zhou Yi's baby's daily life aside.
Jim has also had a rare failure since he started his career. Only when he was looking for Xu Zhongyi, he interrupted the clue several times.
Compared with looking after baby Zhou in secret, it is more challenging to investigate Xu Zhongyi's affairs.
"I don't know. I know that Tina and the Fann brothers and sisters look familiar. I thought about it, but I couldn't remember where I had seen these two brothers and sisters. Then I suddenly remembered that the two brothers and sisters looked somewhat similar to Cui Yiru. "
Xia Xiaolan subconsciously rejected this possibility, so she didn't think about Cui Yiru at first.
Because looking at Tina, only a rich family can pamper her. According to Jim's judgment, Xu Zhongyi's wife and children don't know where they live in incognito and endure humiliation. How can they correspond to the daughter of a rich family!
An apartment on the Upper East Side of New York can be given to an 18-year-old daughter as a coming-of-age gift.
If you don't like the decoration, you smash it and reinstall it.
Daniel said that his family is engaged in import and export trade in Los Angeles.
How could such a person be related to Xu Zhongyi's wife and children?
What if it matters again!
Why didn't Tina mention it in advance, Fann's age was just right for Xu Changle back then. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
