"Professor McCarthy must think I'm indestructible!"
She didn't intend to tell Zhou Cheng about this, as it would put pressure on Zhou Cheng for no reason.
Zhou Cheng wondered if it was because of him that Xia Xiaolan could not stay at Cornell to finish her undergraduate studies There are indeed Zhou Cheng's reasons, but the most important thing is that it does not conform to Xia Xiaolan's plan.
She is more and more fond of architecture, but unlike Ning Xue's pure obsession, architecture has not become the most important thing in her life.
Ning Xue should agree to the invitation of p&w firm, right?
Originally, Ning Xue was going to finish her undergraduate studies at Cornell, but I don't know if she will continue her studies.
Xia Xiaolan forcibly forgot the p&w invitation when she left Professor McCarthy's office. Cornell University wanted to commend Zhou Cheng for his heroic act, so this matter had to be pressed.
Harold should have agreed with the reporters. The newspapers in the past two days reported the shooting and mentioned Zhou Cheng's behavior a few times, saying that it was a Chinese man who subdued the gunman.
Thank goodness they didn't post Zhou Cheng's photo!
Instead, Xia Xiaolan appeared in the newspaper once, when she received the CW championship trophy from Harold on the stage of the awards ceremony.
She is only used as a news background, there are other people on the stage, and Harold also showed a small profile.
?Because of the sudden shooting, the news reports mentioned the "CW Architectural Design Competition" by the way. The competition gained fame, but the Wilson Hotel was in a bad situation. Once the shooting happened, the check-out rate surged.
The booking rate has plummeted.
The Wilson Hotel in Queens, New York is also unlucky. It just got rid of the moth last year and opened with a brand new look after some renovations.
If Xia Xiaolan went to the hotel now, she would never encounter full occupancy, and the occupancy rate of the hotel was very dismal.
Even Daisy was worried about Harold:
"Mr. Wilson seems like a good guy, he also sponsored the game, hope he can get through this!"
It's not that Daisy was fascinated by Harold's charm, now Daisy is a die-hard fan of Zhou Cheng.
Daisy is afraid that the business of the Wilson Hotel will be affected, so she doesn't plan to build a new hotel in Washington, so if she wins the championship, she won't be able to participate in the design of the new hotel!
"How is it possible, this kind of investment is not temporary, everything is ready, and it won't stop just because of a little accident!"
It is true that, as Xia Xiaolan said, the Wilson Hotel will regain the trust of customers, but this incident will not destroy the hotel. The reports in newspapers and TV stations have not affected the daily operation of the hotel At least the money to sponsor the School of Architecture has arrived smoothly. The account is settled, and the college will come forward to distribute the bonus, 50,000 US dollars will be received, and it will be divided equally according to the previous negotiation.
$12,500 each.
Xia Xiaolan still wanted to give them all, but Daisy and the three didn't want it at all.
Therefore, Xia Xiaolan's account has more than 10,000 U.S. dollars. She finds it amazing, and said to Zhou Cheng:
"I have made a trip to the United States, and I still make money?"
Excluding the sum of money invested in Xu Jing and Ma Hai, including the purchase of a car, Xia Xiaolan didn't spend a lot of money in the United States for more than two months. If there is an extra bonus, isn't it still earned!
"You earned this by yourself."
Zhou Cheng didn't know what to say. His wife made money wherever she went. She said that money fell from the sky, so why didn't it fall into someone else's arms?
Still have to be capable!
The level of architectural design is not enough to win the championship, so naturally there is no such bonus.
?If you don¡¯t even understand how to do business, how can you give advice to Du Zhaohui and get 10 million Hong Kong dollars from Du Zhaohui? Xia Ziyu wanted to give advice to Du Zhaohui, but the key point was that Du Zhaohui didn't believe in Xia Ziyu's ability at all
No one told about Xia Xiaolan's rejection of the invitation from the p&w firm. Zhou Cheng was able to stay in New York for 10 days in total. He went to New York to receive the award last weekend. He originally planned to go to Washington this weekend. Jim called from San Francisco:
"I have been able to determine the location of Xu's tomb. Now whether to do an autopsy or not, we will wait for your decision."
Private detectives have always wandered in the gray area of ??the law. When they are serious, many of their investigation methods are illegal, so the evidence obtained by private detectives is not accepted. But Xia Xiaolan is not a lawsuit, she wants to investigate whether Xu Zhongyi is dead or alive, as long as the money is paid in place, Jim doesn't mind doing something illegal.
Digging up dead bodies in the middle of the night, that kind of thing Jim would do it too.
For an autopsy, there are formal procedures and private investigators.? test method.
"The current clue is on this corpse. I can't find Xu Zhongyi's wife and children? Then, have the antiques that Xu Zhongyi brought to the United States circulated in the market over the years!"
Xia Xiaolan had the attitude of giving it a try, but Jim really got something:
"I found a vase, which was auctioned publicly last year. The seller didn't know it, but the buyer was from HK! I faxed the photo to you, and I'm waiting for your next step after confirmation."
Jim found out the antiques that Xu Zhongyi brought to America!
Xia Xiaolan was not sure if it was true after reading it, she only knew the signature.
"It seems that Grandma Yu has to identify it."
Xia Xiaolan was very embarrassed, and Zhou Cheng analyzed it for her, "You are afraid that Grandma Yu will not be able to bear the grief, but without Grandma Yu coming forward, you can't even confirm whether the corpse is Xu Zhongyi. Xiaolan, you can't continue to delay making a decision, is it right?" It's time to tell Grandma Yu."
After checking and checking, this matter has fallen into an endless loop.
All the "truths" that Jim found were based on the arson that Xu Zhongyi died in 1967 after the gang robbery and murder.
If the corpse is indeed Xu Zhongyi, Jim is in the right direction, and Xu Zhongyi's wife and children can be found along that line. If the corpse is not Xu Zhongyi, Jim has been misled by the adult case, and he has to get back in the right direction.
Zhou Cheng thought that he should be more decisive at this time, and Xia Xiaolan's rationality agreed, but it was emotion that had been hesitating.
"Okay, I'll ask Uncle Tang to help Grandma Yu go through the formalities for going abroad. Don't tell her about the need to identify the corpse, just say that I found the old collection of Yu's family in the United States, and let her come to the United States to identify it!"
How to find out the collection?
Let Jim keep checking the seller!
If the corpse is Xu Zhongyi, the seller may be the murderer of Xu Zhongyi!
Still have to find out who bought the vase The buyer is a Hong Kong person, at least it is easier to find than collectors from other countries.
She and Du Zhaohui are still partners now, so it shouldn't be a big problem to ask Du Zhaohui to inquire about it.
Of the Du family, it seems that only Du Ershao is keen on buying antiques
The last time I met at a private photo shoot.
Du Zhaohui, who is uneducated, doesn't know if he knows any connections in this area.
Tang Yuanyue seemed quite familiar with that occasion, but Xia Xiaolan was tricked by Tang Yuanyue before, and now she keeps her distance from Tang Yuanyue! (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
