Chapter 322 – People are not hard to break down
“Recently, the training task is heavy, and I can’t even come home.” Lindsey truthfully said, “Fortunately you are here.”
“So pathetic, then you come to the hotel, sister accompany you.” Larissa laughed. “Mr. Grayson was asking about you at breakfast this morning.”
“Yeah well, I’ll be there in an hour.” Lindsey hung up the phone with a big smile and turned her head to call Cary, asking him to draw up the cooperation agreement and bring it to Dongjiang in person.
After a few moments of conversation, Lindsey simply packed up and immediately took the car to the city when the guard returned.
On the way, Lindsey remembered about Danny and couldn’t help but ask the guard about it.
The guard knew everything and said everything, detailing the outcome of the treatment, including Willeke’s injuries.
“My kick was so powerful?” Lindsey shrugged, feeling slightly regretful.
The other party was a girl after all, and she seemed to have hit a bit hard.
But when she thought of her disregard for military discipline, she felt that even if she did it all over again, she still wouldn’t be soft.
When they arrived near the hotel where Larissa and the others were staying, they happened to run into the TV station’s people, who were milling around on the outskirts of the hotel, each one following Anthony Johnson’s assistant like a summoned beast.
Lindsey didn’t want to draw too much attention to herself, so she asked the security guard to pull the car over to the curb and got out to walk over.
She is tall and even though she is four months pregnant, she still doesn’t look pregnant in her coat.
When she passed by Anthony Johnson’s assistant, a reporter stopped her and asked her if she knew about the assault on Anthony Johnson a few days ago.
“I’m sorry, I don’t know the person you’re talking about.” Lindsey politely returned the question and continued on her way.
The guard, afraid that the reporters would hurt Lindsey, locked his car and followed quickly, standing nervously to her side and spreading his arms.
The reporter interviewing Lindsey was completely confused and saw someone blocking the camera and subconsciously yanked it.
The guard was furious and whirled his head sideways, staring at him with a shady gaze. “What do you want!”
“I’m not doing anything, I just want to interview this lady.” The reporter was frightened by the aura emanating from him and took a step back with a pale face. “No hands, I’m warning you.”
The guard coldly withdrew his eyes and escorted Lindsey into the lobby without saying a word.
The two had just entered the revolving door when Anthony Johnson’s assistant exclaimed, “That’s the woman who ordered the guard to beat up Young Master Johnson!”
The reporters were instantly energized by the news and rushed into the lobby.
Lindsey had already reached the elevator lobby and heard the noisy commotion behind her, so she subconsciously turned her head to look back.Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
The guard was also confused by the battle in front of him and stood nervously in front of Lindsey, admonishing, “Madam, you go up first, I’ll hold them back.”
Lindsey smiled and shook her head, took the initiative to step forward and waited for the reporters to approach before speaking calmly: “Hello, friends of the media in Dongjiang, I am Lindsey, the founder of the Hui Ai Foundation, do you have anything to ask?”
The action of the reporters of Hui Ai Foundation, Lindsey … was instantly fixed, and in the next instant, they collectively turned their heads and ran wildly outside.
She does not stay in B City, What is she doing here!
To know that it is her, give how much money can not block her interview, that is will lose their jobs, okay!
Everything happened without warning, the sound of footsteps fading away, leaving the guards watching this scene, for a long time back.
Lindsey is not at all surprised, with the previous experience, want to continue to survive in the journalist industry, avoid themselves, is absolutely the most correct choice.
Outside the hotel lobby, Anthony Johnson’s assistant was also confused by the reporter’s actions.
Seeing that each one of them got into the car and ran away, he drew his legs to catch up and grabbed the female reporter who was lagging behind, asking suspiciously, “What’s going on.”
“We’re not going to follow this story, that’s all.” The female reporter was panting, afraid that she would be caught if she walked slowly. “Goodbye.”
“Hey, you guys should make it clear why you are not following.” The assistant pulled her unsurely. “We Mr. Johnson paid for it!”
“I’m not going to follow even if I pay!” The female reporter broke away from his hand, turned her head and ran back to her car, and left in a flash.
In just a few seconds, none of the interview cars parked outside the hotel were left.
The assistant was like a thunderstorm, the whole person stupid outside the hotel door, standing into a statue.
Inside the hotel, Lindsey entered the elevator and instructed the guard to press the floor button, in a happy mood.
When she came to the floor where Larissa and the others were, she went to say hello to Larissa first, and then knocked on Grayson’s room door.
“I’m sorry to bother Mrs. Grant.” Grayson hastily invited her to sit down. “I have prepared the agreement on cooperation, do you want to read it now.”
“The president will arrive in Dongjiang on the afternoon, so I’ll read it then.” Lindsey smiled and gestured for him to sit down, concerned, “How’s it going, how’s your stay these two days?”
“Very well, thanks to Mrs. Grant.” Grayson smiled back, looking very good.
Lindsey stayed with him for a while, just as he had a friend coming over, so he excused himself and went to Larissa’s room.
In the living room, Larissa was working on her laptop while Hector peeled an apple for her.
“You’re taking it easy.” Lindsey teased, sitting comfortably next to her. “There are some nice spots over here, want to check them out.”
Larissa averted her eyes from the computer screen and shook her head with a light smile. “What’s there to see with all that wind, you’ll be frozen to the ground as soon as you get outside.”
“Just as well.” Lindsey shrugs her shoulders. “But being cooped up in a hotel all the time would be annoying.”
Larissa glanced at her and teased, “It’s the lack of company that’s bugging you, isn’t it?”
“People don’t break up …,” Lindsey leaned back lazily on the sofa, reached for an apple, and took a big bite: “I heard from Grady that there’s an authentic restaurant on the outskirts of town that makes a very authentic seafood hot pot. .”
“I’m allergic.” Larissa retorted without even thinking about it. “There are a lot of seafood that you can’t eat.”
“Then forget it, I’ll see if there’s another place.” Lindsey sat up straight, took out her cell phone and surfed the Internet, and suddenly said, “Here it is, this vegetarian restaurant is very famous, and it is said that the temple next to it has a very interesting host.”
“How is that interesting?” Larissa became interested and put down her penlight and looked at her curiously, “It’s not fortune telling, is it?”
Lindsey smiled and handed over her cell phone.
Larissa took it with suspicion, and after reading the introduction on it, she couldn’t help but lose her smile. “It is indeed quite interesting, just do not know whether it is really capable, or fooling people.”
“Just go see it and find out.” Lindsey raised his eyebrows, took back his phone, Xu stood up: “Let’s go, just on the way to pray.”
“Okay.” Larissa answered, got up and went back to her room to change into her regular clothes for going out.
Tianxia Temple is not far from downtown Dongjiang, located at the foot of Tianxia Mountain, a famous local scenic spot, and is an ancient temple with a history of hundreds of years.
When Lindsey and others arrived, it was only ten o’clock in the morning.
The scenic area is very quiet, probably because it is not the weekend, not too many tourists.
After passing through the scenic area, the car arrived at the parking area outside the gate of Tianxia Temple.
Lindsey got out of the car, looked around, and found that there were many people lined up outside the temple gate, and wondered what they were doing.
Larissa also saw the scene and secretly pulled her to the crowd. “Go and see what’s going on, and if you’re lucky you might even get a gift from the host.”
“It’s not a valuable thing either …” Lindsey was speechless, but followed her towards the queue.
When they reached the front, the two got to the end of the line and whispered to the older sister in front of them to inquire about the reason for the line.
The elder sister looked back at them and said with an excited look on her face, “Today the host is handing out amulets again, which are said to keep peace.”
“So divine?” Larissa exchanged a funny look with Lindsey and asked again, “Do they really want no money?”
“Of course not, donate a little merit if you want.” The elder sister should have been a frequent visitor, so she was very familiar with the situation. “It’s okay not to donate, but everyone is so dedicated to goodness that they will more or less donate a little.”
Lindsey smiled, reached out and tugged Larissa smiled away.
The team was marching pretty fast, and it wasn’t long before Lindsey and Larissa had their turn to hand out amulets, and there was a large merit box with hundreds of dollars in it.
Larissa stood in front, took the amulet and left the line to stand aside and wait for Lindsey.
When Shamiya saw that she didn’t have the intention to donate merit, her face was not so good. When it was Lindsey’s turn, she took the amulet in her hand and didn’t give it to her.
Lindsey was secretly amused and deliberately reminded, “Little master, does this amulet have to be given by a person of talent?”
“Doing good deeds is to accumulate blessings.” Little Shayi folded his hands and recited a Buddhist sutra with lowered eyebrows, adding, “This female almsman is a good person at first glance.”
“You are quite good at reading people.” Lindsey smiled, not the slightest intention to donate merit, looking at him with a meaningful gaze. “I heard that the host has to hand out amulets twice a week, he is also a good person.”
The young sama’s face instantly sank a few points, and reluctantly gave the amulet to Lindsey.
Lindsey eyebrow tail slightly raised, walked aside to carry the shamrock to open the amulet, found that there is no runes inside, there is just a little bit of shredded paper ripped from some book.
“Tsk …” Larissa laughed at this. “This host is really interesting.”
Lindsey shrugged, shook off the scraps of paper, pulled Larissa back to Hector and the others, and greeted them as they joined her at a vegetarian restaurant off to the side.
The restaurant was next to Tianxia Temple, so naturally the prices were outrageously expensive, and it was often impossible to get a reservation.
They were lucky that there was an empty room when they went in, but the location was not ideal and there was no view to enjoy around.
Lindsey did not care, anyway, is to eat, not to see the scenery.
When they arrived at the room, the group just sat down, they smelled a strong smell of alcohol, and occasionally could hear the roar of someone guessing the line of command.
Without waiting for Lindsey to tell him, Hector had already turned his head and left the room.
In a moment, he returned from the next door, his expression a little twisted: “Let’s eat at another restaurant.”
