364: Arrive at Yuhai City

"Okay, see you later then." Only then did Liu Xiaolin hang up the phone with relief and drive the car onto the third-level twelve ramp.

After driving on the ramp for twenty minutes, seeing the sign for the South Exit, Liu Xiaolin drove off the ramp and onto a main road.

A small white car was parked by the roadside, and a lady was standing by the car, looking around towards this direction.

The lady was wearing a white puff-sleeved shirt on top and a fishtail skirt on the bottom, looking soft and elegant overall.

Liu Xiaolin took one look and instinctively felt that she was Shi Yuer. Shi Yuer looked like she was in her thirties, but she should be much older than that; after all, Hai Zhezhe was already fifty-two, so she was at least forty-seven or forty-eight.

"You must be Sister Shi, right?" Liu Xiaolin parked the car by the roadside, walked over, and asked.

"Yes, I am Shi Yuer. Are you General Manager Liu Xiaolin?" Shi Yuer was very disappointed after seeing Liu Xiaolin. She hadn't expected the person to be a young man in his twenties!

So young, how could he contend with those cunning old shareholders? www.x33xs.com

Liu Xiaolin looked at her suspicious gaze and said with a smile, "Sister Shi, don't worry, I will definitely help Dr. Hai clear his name. Believe me."

"It's not that I don't believe you, it's just that those shareholders are too wicked," Shi Yuer said with a face full of worry.

"First, take me to a hotel closer to your home so I can check in," Liu Xiaolin said directly. He was tired and hungry now and didn't want to stand by the roadside talking.

"I'm so sorry, you see, I'm so impolite. You came all this way, and I didn't even think to ask if you had lunch or where you would stay later," Only then did Shi Yuer realize her rudeness.

"It's alright, I know you must be physically and mentally exhausted right now, which is why you couldn't think of all that," Liu Xiaolin said very generously.

"My home is a ten-minute drive from here. Just outside my residential area is the most luxurious hotel here - Yuhai Grand Hotel. If you don't mind the expense, you can stay there; it's very convenient for food and drinks," Shi Yuer said.

She had heard Liu Xiaolin say that he was a General Manager and had collaborations with the Ministry of Science and Technology and the Environmental Protection Agency, so he must be a rich person. Staying at the most luxurious hotel should be no problem. Therefore, she didn't recommend the smaller hotels nearby.

"Okay, then I'll stay at the Yuhai Grand Hotel." Liu Xiaolin naturally didn't need to worry about money; a General Manager who casually gives out forty billion in bonuses isn't short of cash.

"Alright, I'll drive ahead and lead the way; you just follow behind," Shi Yuer said and got into her car.

Liu Xiaolin also got into his car and followed Shi Yuer's car, driving forward.

Ten minutes later, they arrived at the Yuhai Grand Hotel.

The Yuhai Grand Hotel is a ten-story building, built against the mountain, and looks very luxurious.

The two parked their cars in the parking lot outside the hotel. Liu Xiaolin pushed his suitcase and followed Shi Yuer inside. Soon, a doorman came over and eagerly helped Liu Xiaolin with his luggage.

"Sir, are you two checking in?" The doorman asked familiarly.

"I am staying alone; this lady brought me here," Liu Xiaolin explained.

"Okay, I'll take you to the front desk to check in. Please come this way," The doorman skillfully led the way.

They quickly reached the front desk. Liu Xiaolin completed the check-in. To be a bit quieter, Liu Xiaolin chose a top-floor suite.

Shi Yuer silently watched the young man in front of her check in. Seeing his choice, she was very surprised: This young man is not simple. Firstly, the suite he chose is a high-end room costing eight thousand yuan per night, indicating he is financially capable but not extravagant. Secondly, he actually chose the top floor, indicating he likes quiet and is someone who can settle down.

Now, Shi Yuer looked at him with different eyes. She felt there was great hope of clearing her husband's name and regaining his freedom.

"Alright, help me take my luggage to the room. I'll go to the restaurant to eat first." After checking in, Liu Xiaolin gave the doorman a hundred yuan tip and instructed him to take the luggage up.

The doorman took the tip and said happily, "Okay, sir."

Watching the doorman leave with the luggage, Liu Xiaolin said, "Sister Shi, let's go to the restaurant and chat while we eat."

"I've already eaten," Shi Yuer said, "You eat, and I'll keep you company."

"Okay, I'm really hungry." Liu Xiaolin had only eaten a bite of breakfast in the morning before rushing off, and it had been five or six hours since then.

When ordering, Liu Xiaolin found that the dishes on the menu were mostly spicy. Although Liu Xiaolin could eat spicy food, seeing red and green chilies on almost every dish on the menu made him feel a bit uncomfortable.

He ordered a non-spicy pork rib soup, a slightly spicy stir-fried meat dish, and a bowl of rice. Since it wasn't peak dining time, the food was served quickly.

"Would you like another bite?" Liu Xiaolin asked politely.

"You eat quickly, I really can't eat anymore," Shi Yuer said.

"Okay, then I'll ask you a few questions while I eat," Liu Xiaolin began to eat heartily without ceremony.

"Why is it that when I called you, you were able to trust me and talk so much with me?" Liu Xiaolin asked.

"This phone number of my husband's is his private number. Few people know this number; only very close people would call this number," Shi Yuer said. "When he was awarded the title of 'Science and Technology Expert' by the Ministry of Science and Technology, Director Zhao said he should keep a long-term, unchanging mobile number for future contact, which is why he kept this number. Therefore, when you said you had a collaboration with the Ministry of Science and Technology and that Director Zhao gave you the number, I knew it was real at that time."

"Then why is this phone number with you?" Liu Xiaolin continued to ask.

"My husband was not allowed to use a mobile phone after he was arrested, so he asked me to keep this number in case someone tried to reach him and couldn't," Shi Yuer continued.

"Dr. Hai is the legal representative of Haizhe Technology, right?" Liu Xiaolin asked another question.

"Yes, because when we first collaborated, his technology patents accounted for the largest share after being converted into equity, so he was made the legal representative," Shi Yuer said. "If I had known that the legal representative had to bear so many responsibilities, I wouldn't have let him take on the position. Now, it's too late to regret."

"Don't worry, saying you regret it now is useless," Liu Xiaolin said after taking a big gulp of pork rib soup. "Do you have the information on those three shareholders? Give me a copy."

"Yes, I've compiled a complete set of information. Take a look," Shi Yuer took out a stack of documents and placed them on the table in front of Liu Xiaolin.

"Okay, I'll look at it later." Liu Xiaolin glanced at the documents and continued, "Do you work at Haizhe Technology?"

"No, when my husband came to Yuhai City to start his business, I didn't come with him. At that time, my daughter and I were living in the Capital. My daughter was just born then, and to make it easier to take care of her, I stayed at my parents' home. I am also a returning overseas student; at that time, I worked as a lecturer at Longguo University. Later, when my child grew older, I transferred to Yuhai City Foreign Language Institute to work as a foreign language teacher," Shi Yuer briefly introduced her background.
