1570: They Are the Zhang Brothers and Sisters (4 More)

A new semester has begun.

Cornell University is back in action.

Xia Xiaolan also met some old friends, Daniel, who majored in hotel management, and thanked her after seeing Xia Xiaolan:

"You let me win the bet with someone else. I think I should invite you to dinner. Please don't look at me like that. Your Chinese boyfriend is 'brucelee'. I really don't dare to think otherwise."

Daniel raised his hands in surrender.

Xia Xiaolan chuckled, "So it's a meal of pure friendship?"

"I swear, a very sincere friendship! You have been an intern in the firm for two months, don't you have a wonderful story to share with your friends?"

That can really be talked about.

Daniel and Nancy and others spend their summer vacations basically in hotel internships.

Nancy told Xia Xiaolan what happened in the hotel, which made Xia Xiaolan laugh.

"Xia, tell me about your internship!"

Xia Xiaolan started with the Wilson Hotel project. He heard that the three major firms were bidding for the same project. After gmp successfully won the bid, Nancy clapped her hands: "This is you! So you still went to Washington on business?"

Xia Xiaolan nodded.

She had a more fulfilling two months than Nancy and Daniel had imagined.

Hearing that Xia Xiaolan also received a commission to renovate the 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 in the name of the Wilson family, right?

Daniel felt that the relationship between Xia Xiaolan and the Wilson family was too close, and Xia Xiaolan also thought that Daniel knew a lot, Xia Xiaolan thought: "Danny, have you heard of a pair of brothers and sisters? Both are Chinese, and the sister's name is Tina. years old, went to school in Columbia, and his older brother's name was Fine, who seemed to have just found a job on Wall Street."

Daniel also seems to come from a relatively wealthy family.

There are several small circles of wealthy people in New York, which are relatively independent and sometimes overlapping.

Xia Xiaolan felt that Daniel might know something.

The strange familiarity made Xia Xiaolan uncomfortable if she didn't understand it.

But to Xia Xiaolan's disappointment, Daniel shook his head when he heard it, "There have never been two people like this in my social circle. Where did you meet them?"

"At Mrs. Wilson's, and Tina lives on the Upper East Side."

Daniel couldn't bear to see Xia Xiaolan's disappointed expression, and added: "Maybe I can ask you some information, not from New York, and 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 guide."

When a rich person suddenly moves, they will never be unknown, and they will integrate into a new social circle when they arrive at a new place.

In particular, some apartments on the Upper East Side require the consent of the apartment owners to move in. Each apartment has its own rules. Some refuse lawyers to stay in, while others refuse to stay in entertainment circles. If an apartment sells for 1 million US dollars, it cannot be bought for 1 million US dollars. At least 3- Proof of asset verification that is 5 times greater than the value of the apartment.

"You mean, Tina lives there, and must have gone through an asset review... This is checking the backgrounds 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 random people, such as gangster drug lords and the like."

That gangster drug lord can't buy a house on the East Side?

No, you can definitely buy it.

The money they use to buy a house needs to be laundered, at least it looks like they have to have a decent and convincing identity!

Although the money in the pockets of the financial and bankers may not be much cleaner than that of the drug lords, this is the rule that the rich people who first entered the Upper East Side joined together to make.

"I understand."

Daniel smiled, "I'll help you find out, and I'll let you know in a few days."

Nancy shouted with exaggerated expressions, clamoring to draw a line from 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."

What do you do to ask about the background of the customer?

Now you have to work so hard to come up with a decoration plan?

Daniel did not expose Xia Xiaolan, everyone has their own secrets, which is just a small effort for him.

Two days later, Daniel really gave Xia Xiaolan some information.

"Tina and Faen are brothers and sisters from California. There are also many Chinese immigrants in Los Angeles. I heard that their family is engaged in import and export trade. Tina and Faen are their American names, and their Chinese surname is cheung."

cheung.

It is the "Zhang" surname in Hong Kong-style Pinyin.

This Xia Xiaolan already knew, after all, she was watching 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 brother and sister. Cheung should be the paternal surname. Where is their mother?"

Daniel shook his head, "I don't know, that apartment originally belonged to a mr.cheung and was given to Tina, a very common gift among family members. If you want to know more, or

Xu should have asked Mrs. Wilson, who seemed to be the one guiding Tina's social circle in New York, and she must be familiar with Tina's family. "

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 self-inflicted?

Maybe she could ask Jim for help.

Jim followed Zhou Yi recently, and he was probably going crazy because of boredom.

...

"Do you think there is something wrong with the siblings?"

Jim called Xia Xiaolan, originally to report the situation on Zhou Yi's side as usual, but when Xia Xiaolan said it, he immediately put aside the trivial life of Zhou Yi's baby.

Since Jim started his career, he has also had a rare failure. Only in the search for Xu Zhongyi, he even interrupted the clues several times.

It is more challenging to investigate Xu Zhongyi than to look after Zhou baby secretly.

"I don't know. I know that Tina and Faen are very familiar. I think about it, but I can't remember where I have seen them. Later, I suddenly remembered that they look a bit similar to Cui Yiru. "

Xia Xiaolan subconsciously rejected this possibility, so she didn't think about Cui Yiru at first.

Because looking at Tina's appearance, only a wealthy family can be spoiled. According to Jim's judgment, Xu Zhongyi's wife and children don't know where they live in incognito and bear humiliation.

An apartment on New York's Upper East Side could be a bar mitzvah for an 18-year-old daughter.

If I don't like the decoration, I smashed it and re-installed it.

Daniel said his family is in Los Angeles doing import and export trade.

How could such a person be related to Xu Zhongyi's wife and children?

What if it matters!

Why didn't Tina say anything beforehand? Fine's age was exactly the same as that of Xu Changle back then.
