Chapter 5296

Hearing Gerard's words, Jemima was relieved.

Immediately, she couldn't help but muttered: “Dad, since Grandpa and Grandma Qiu are

here,”

“Why didn’t you tell me earlier so that I could prepare some gifts in advance,”

“And now I will go to their home empty-handed, how inappropriate... ...” Gerard said with a

smile: “With your character if I told you that you would definitely not want to go,”

“Then you would definitely say that you are just going there for an interview,”

“And it is best not to bother others, and then you had to tell me not to tell them about this,”

“I am your father, and I still don't know you?”

Jemima was at a loss for words for a while, thinking about what her father said was not

unreasonable,

Depending on her own personality and the way she usually doesn’t get along with her father,

Maybe it’s the result of a double block.

So she said: “Okay, then I will visit Grandpa and Grandma Qiu first.”

Gerard said with a smile: “This is so good! Have a good meal with them,” “When the interview

is over, come back earlier, I will pick you up at the airport.”

Jemima said subconsciously: “No, I had to drive to the airport, just will drive back by myself.”

Gerard said casually: “It doesn’t matter, I will ask someone to help you with the car, that’s it,

bye.”

Before Jemima agreed, Gerard had already hung up the phone.

Although she was helpless, she also knew that once he decided to do something,

With his temperament, he would find a way to achieve it no matter what.

It was just going to the airport to pick her up, so she didnt need to be too repulsive.

So, she put away the phone and said to Sister Xian:

“I'm sorry, Sister Xian, I misunderstood you just now, and I hope you don’t mind.”

Sister Xian said with a smile: “Miss Liu, why are you being polite to me?”

After that, she pointed to a Rolls-Royce on the side of the road not far away, and said,

“The car is over there, Miss Liu, let's go.”

Once they sat in, Rolls-Royce drove towards Zijin Mountain Villa.

On the way, Jemima and Maria looked left and right as if they had just arrived in Aurous Hill.

Sister Xian sitting at the co-driver looked back at Jemima,

And asked with a smile, “Is this the first time Miss Liu has come to Aurous Hill?"

“Yes.” Jemima nodded slightly: “I haven't been here before.

” I heard from the master that you are coming to Aurous Hill University to apply for a job this

time.”

“Let me ask you a question. You have never been to Aurous Hill before.”

“Why did you choose to come here from Hong Kong? In terms of urban development,”

“Aurous Hill is not better than Hong Kong. There is still a lot of difference.”

Hearing this question, what Jemima subconsciously thought of was the figure of Charlie.

When she came to Aurous Hill by herself,

She naturally came here for Charlie, but she still doesn’t know what the final result will be.

However, for her, she always has to do what she decides before talking about it.

It is not her style at all to talk about it and talk about it without practice.

However, Jemima was unwilling, to tell the truth, so she said to Sister Xian:

“I have stayed in Hong Kong for too long, and it is indeed enough.”

“The first-tier cities in the mainland are relatively fast-paced,”

“So I wanted to find a relatively comfortable one. Therefore, I chose Aurous

Hill.”

Sister Xian nodded in agreement and said with a smile:

“The pace of life in Aurous Hill is indeed slower than that of the first-tier cities,” “And the

environment is relatively comfortable. I have been here for many years,”

“And now I like it more and more, and I believe you will feel the same after staying here for a

long time.”

Then, sister Xian said: “If you decide to stay in Aurous Hill for development in the future,”

“If you need help in the Aurous Hill? You can contact me at any time.” After speaking, she

handed over a business card with both hands,

The business card was very simple, only her name, plus a string of mobile phone numbers.

“Thank you.” Jemima took the business card, thanked her politely, and immediately asked

her:

“By the way, sister Xian, if I am sure to stay in Aurous Hill and plan to buy a house near the

school for daily living,”

“Do you have any recommendations?”

Sister Xian asked curiously: “What kind of house is Miss Liu looking for? A villa, or a flat?

“Anything, and it doesn’t need to be too big. It's best to have a higher floor, so you can enjoy

the scenery.”

Sister Xian thought for a while and said, “The best real estate in Aurous Hill City is Tomson

Villas.”

“The residential area with the high and low floor plans is all hardcover and delivered,”

“And it is an existing house for sale, what you see is what you get.”

“The price of villas in this area is basically tens of millions or even more than one hundred

million,”

“And the flat floor is about ten million to twenty or thirty,”

“And it is not far from University, and it takes only ten minutes by car.”

“Tomson...” Jemima nodded and thanked “Thank you, Miss Xian,”

“I've made a note of it. After receiving the admission notice, I will take the time to take a

look.” Sister Xian smiled and said, “Don’t worry, Miss. With your own conditions,”

“It is definitely no problem to apply for Aurous Hill.”

“The University is now focusing on internationalization, and attaches great importance to

foreign teachers and student resources from Hong Kong.” “If you have a doctorate degree

from the mainland, the competition may be fiercer, but if you have a Hong Kong identity, it

will be much easier.”

Jemima was surprised Said: “Sister Xian is really familiar with Aurous Hill, even the situation

of Aurous Hill University is so clear!”

Sister Xian smiled and said: “Our master donated a lot of funds to Aurous Hill University

many years ago.”

“I have been paying attention to the situation of Aurous Hill University, and my work in

Aurous Hill is very leisurely, to be honest.”

“If the husband and wife don’t come, I just need to take everyone to clean up and maintain

the status quo of the manor,”

“So in free time, basically used to understand all aspects of the city,”

“So you don’t think I'm an outsider, but I'm definitely a know-it-all in Aurous

Hill.”

Jemima nodded and said with a smile:

“If I have the opportunity to work in Aurous Hill in the future, I must know and learn more

from you.”

At this very moment.

Zijin Villa.

Maria was listening to the cicadas under the tree in the courtyard.

She set up a vine hand-woven rocking chair under the tree and set up a small bamboo tea

table.

On the tea table, there is a very small charcoal stove.

The finished charcoal will not burst or break when burned, and there will be no smoke and

dust, and even have a very special aroma.

On top of the charcoal stove, sits a handful of pottery diao, and in it, a pot of dark red Pu“er

tea is boiled.

Maria loves to drink tea. She usually starts to make tea and drink it at breakfast,

Drink tea and read books after meals, have tea at lunch, read books in the afternoon and take

a few teas at random, and even at night. Tea is always in her hand.

Moreover, Pu“er is a kind of tea with a strong soup color. Although Maria drinks tea

constantly every day, her clean and bright teeth have never been stained by tea.

Just when she put down the book and picked up the teacup to take a sip, there was a light

knock on the door, followed by Larry's voice, asking respectfully: “Miss, is it convenient for

you now?”

Maria smiled and said, “It's convenient, you can come in.”

Larry then carefully opened the courtyard door and walked in slowly.

Maria looked at him, and saw that he was hunched, panting silently, with beads of sweat on

his forehead and cheeks,

And asked curiously: “Why do you need to come up in person? The stone steps are steep, and

with your current body, you have to be careful.” Larry swallowed, and then said a little

breathlessly and weakly:

“I... I have something to do, I want to report it to Miss face to face...”

Maria pointed to a low Bamboo stool, and said: “Sit down and talk, just drink a cup of tea.”

Larry was flattered, nodded quickly, and even moved a few steps faster.

He first moved the bamboo stool, then came to sit down in front of Maria, and said

respectfully:

“Miss...l... I have a granddaughter who just happened to come to Aurous Hill for an

interview,”

“So I invited her to the manor as a guest, by the way, have a home-cooked meal,”

“Because I just found out this morning, and I didnt report to you in advance, so please don’t

blame me.”

Maria took a new teacup, rinsed it with tea, and said with a smile:

“You are the host, you want to entertain guests, why should you report to me, I am just one

of your guests.”

Larry said without thinking: “Miss, this is the second thing I want to promise you. It's okay, it's

rare that you like this place,”

“And I'm getting old, I'm afraid I won't come here again after this time,”

“So I want to give you the Zijin Villa as a gift, and I hope you can accept it!”

Maria was slightly taken aback, then shook her head smiled, and said:

“I'm not sure how long I will stay here, you should leave it to your descendants.”

Larry hurriedly said: “Miss, those descendants of mine, who grew up rich and well-clothed,

are too impetuous.”

“To be honest, they don’t deserve this kind of place, and it would be a waste of money to give

it to them, so please consider my offer.”

Maria shrugged her shoulders, handed him the tea, and said with a smile: “Since you insist,”

“Then I won't be polite to you. If one day I dont need this house anymore and you are still

alive,”

“1 will leave it to you.” Return the property to its original owner,”

“And if you have left by then, I will hand it over to your descendants.”

Upon hearing this, Larry breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile, “It's all up to you.”

Maria pointed to the cup of tea that was poured for him, she said lightly:

“Drink a cup, I see you are out of breath, you are really embarrassed, next time you should

not climb so high,”

“If you need anything, just call me, or send a WeChat. It’s ok.”

Larry cupped his hands respectfully and said, “I obey!”

As he spoke, he carefully picked up the teacup, took a sip, then looked at the piece of tea

cake next to the charcoal stove,

And asked tentatively: “Miss, This Pu'er tea, does it still satisfy your appetite after you drink

it?”

Larry asked someone to buy it from Hong Kong and brought it to Aurous Hill as a gift to

Maria.

Pu“er tea, this tea cake has a history of hundreds of years, and it can be called the best of

Pu'er.

Maria wrote that she wanted Pu’er tea cake in the list she gave to sister Xian, But she didn't

specify what kind of tea cake she wanted, so he bought it. Buy the most expensive and best.

Maria smiled slightly at this time and said: “The market price of tea that can sell for hundreds

of millions per cake is naturally not ordinary.” “Take the money to look for it in the market.

This should be the most expensive and best Pu“er tea you can buy.”

As she spoke, she changed the subject and said with a smile: “But it’s still far from my best tea

cake.”

Larry said with a smile: “Everything that can be bought with money, Of course, it can't be

compared with Miss’s collection.”

Maria smiled slightly and asked him: “Old Qiu, you should have something to tell me?”

Larry then laughed and said: “Sure enough, I can’t escape Miss’s insight!” After finishing

speaking, he said again: “Miss the thing is, my granddaughter is just about to go to Aurous

Hill University to apply for a lecturer's job,”

“And with her current conditions, this time the application should be accepted for sure,”

“I think you will study at the same university she will be teaching at,” “So being here today is

also a matter of fate, you might as well take this opportunity to get to know her a little bit,”

“And maybe we can take care of her in the future.”

“Is that so...” Maria smiled mischievously,

She said casually: “Since we are so destined, it's okay to get to know each other!”
