Chapter 43

Near noon, many guests came into the tea restaurant.

Chen Fengjun took a stack of papers and hurriedly wrote down the order: "One French toast and iced lemon tea, right?"

The door of the store was opened. Chen Fengjun thought it was a new customer, so he wrote down the name and said, "Welcome, please find an empty seat."

"Ms. Chen, do you still remember me?"

Chen Fengjun looked up and saw that it was the person who had delivered the letter for Chen Lanjun. The man was panting and sweating, and it was obvious that he was in a hurry.

What happened?

Chen Fengjun hurried over and asked, "I remember, what's wrong with my sister?"

"She went to do business last night. In order to avoid the joint defense team, she fell down the hillside and was seriously injured! She was thinking about you all the time. You should go back and check on her!"

Second sister is injured?

Chen Fengjun's head was buzzing and his eyes widened.

Falling down the hillside, what if... what if... the stories of people who died from falling off cliffs that she had heard on the way to escape suddenly filled her mind.

She took a deep breath, handed the order to the proprietress, and pleaded, "I'm sorry, my sister is in trouble, I have to go there immediately."

The proprietress also heard it and said, "Go quickly."

Chen Fengjun staggered forward two steps and suddenly realized that if his second sister was seriously injured, he would need money, and Qianqian would also have to be arranged.

She hurried back and begged her colleague: "Can you lend me some money? And Xixi, can you please talk to the kindergarten teacher and let her take care of the child for two nights, and I will pay her extra."

When it comes to money, the boss lady felt a little embarrassed. However, after all, they had worked together for a long time and knew that Chen Fengjun was definitely not someone who would default on his debts, so she gritted her teeth and opened the drawer.

"Here, use these for emergencies. Consider it as an advance of three months' salary for you. I'll talk to Sissi about it."

"Thank you, thank you so much."

Chen Fengjun asked the man to wait for a moment, and he ran back, got the passbook from home, rushed to the bank counter, took out all the money, and then immediately followed the person who came to report the news back.

When passing the customs, Chen Fengjun's panicked attitude after hearing that Chen Lanjun was injured gradually calmed down.

She glanced at the messenger in front of her and became a little alert.

Is my second sister really injured? What if this person is spreading false information and is actually trying to defraud money?

Becoming suspicious, Chen Fengjun held the purse tightly in his hand, fearing that the man would reveal his true colors and snatch it away in the next second.

Chen Fengjun felt a little relieved when he saw the armed police patrolling back and forth at the checkpoint.

The public security in the mainland is still very good. As long as you stay in a safe place and don't follow others casually, you should be fine.

After walking out of the pass and standing on the steps, the messenger said, "Why don't you go any further? Go this way."

Chen Fengjun hugged her handbag tightly and frowned as she said, "Well, my sister should be in the hospital, right? Which hospital?"

The messenger was speechless for a moment: "Um...you will know if you follow me. I can't explain it clearly at the moment."

Chen Fengjun took a step forward and asked, "Then where is she? I'll ask the cyclist to take us there."

She wanted to order a bicycle to deliver the child herself! She would never listen to this person's arrangement. If they were in the same group, it would be troublesome!

"She is..." The messenger stammered, unable to say anything in front of Chen Fengjun who looked suspicious.

If he didn't say anything, Chen Fengjun would not move:

"If you really help me see my sister, I will definitely reward you handsomely. But if not, please think carefully! I dared to come to Hong Kong alone when I was seventeen. What have I not seen? I am not someone who can be fooled!"

Chen Fengjun narrowed his eyes: "Tell me a location, or I'll go find the police!"

During the stalemate, a laugh came from behind: "Not bad, sister is quite vigilant."

A man walked out from the shadows nearby. It was the cyclist Arong that Chen Fengjun had met last time.

Ah Rong smiled and said, "Sister, do you still remember me? I am Chen Lanjun's friend, Ah Rong."

Chen Fengjun was still suspicious and alert: "I have indeed seen you, but... where is my sister?"

“Well.”

Ah Rong touched his nose and said, "It's really not far. It's right next to it."

"Really, sister, within the range that the police can see."

Chen Fengjun followed A Rong doubtfully, always keeping a distance so that she could escape immediately if anything happened.

Not long after walking, Chen Fengjun saw the man who was said to be "seriously injured, dying, and just wanting to see his sister again."

This little ancestor is drinking herbal tea and eating lard cake!

"Sister, you're here." Chen Lanjun put down the lard cake and stood up happily, "I bought it specially, you try it."

"Chen-Lan-Jun-!"

It's over, I have to call out my full name. This is not something that can be solved with a few pieces of lard cakes.

Chen Lanjun put down the lard cake awkwardly, looking innocent, and tried to act coquettishly: "Sister——"

"what?"

She quickly stepped forward: "I... I just want to talk to you about working together again. I'm afraid you don't want to come."

After hearing this, Chen Fengjun turned around and left without saying a word.

“Hey——sister!”

Chen Lanjun hurriedly chased after her, trying to grab her arm.

Chen Fengjun was so angry that his teeth itched. He waved his hand heavily. With a cry of "Ouch", Chen Lanjun fell to the ground, her little face turned pale, and she gasped in pain.

"What happened? Did you fall there?"

"My hand hurts so much." Chen Lanjun raised her elbow pitifully, only to see a red patch with blood faintly visible, mixed with some dust and sand.

Chen Fengjun quickly lowered his head to check her injuries and said distressedly, "You! Let's go see a doctor."

"I won't go." Chen Lanjun said, "Unless you promise to listen to me for ten minutes first."

"What are you going to say?!"

Chen Lanjun is very persistent.

She pulled out an electronic watch from her pocket, which she had bought from Huaying Street yesterday.

"Sister, look, this watch is broken now."

Chen Lanjun completely ignored the injury on her elbow, simply sat on the ground, took out a few small tools, and quickly took apart the electronic watch.

Chen Fengjun originally thought that she was just fooling around, with her brows furrowed so tightly that they could pinch a mosquito to death. However, as he watched her skillful movements, Chen Fengjun's expression gradually became solemn.

After adjusting some circuits, Chen Lanjun put the electronic watch back to its original state.

"Sister, you are watching now."

What was handed to her was a digital watch that started working again.

Chen Fengjun looked at the electronic watch, then at Chen Lanjun, was silent for two seconds, and said, "Okay, I know what you mean."

"Sister, I really am not kidding."

Chen Lanjun looked at her pitifully.

"Go see a doctor first."

"Then you promise to help me?"

"Help! Help! Help! Let's go!"

At the clinic, the doctor cleaned Chen Lanjun's wound and picked out a small stone with medical tweezers. Chen Lanjun trembled in pain.

Chen Fengjun quickly held her in his arms and said softly, "Doctor, could you please be gentler? My sister has been afraid of pain since she was a child."

"That's good."

After the doctor finished applying the medicine, Chen Fengjun taught Chen Lanjun a lesson, "Don't curse yourself in the future. What if you end up making things worse?"

Chen Lanjun nodded: "I remember, there will definitely not be a next time."

When they came out of the hospital, the sky was full of stars. Chen Fengjun supported Chen Lanjun and walked slowly towards the guesthouse. After nightfall, the streets of Pengcheng City were very quiet, except for one building that was unusually lively.

Chen Lanjun looked over there curiously. The dim light illuminated many flying insects. A sign read "Workers' Cultural Palace". The door was not locked yet and someone hurried past.

Chen Lanjun called out to the man, "Excuse me, what is this?"

“There’s a TV in there.”

The man answered hastily and rushed to grab a seat.

Chen Lanjun had never seen a TV since her rebirth, so she turned aside and discussed with Chen Fengjun: "Sister, can we go in and take a look at the TV?"

Chen Fengjun did not refuse this small request: "Let's go."

In the hall of the Workers' Cultural Palace, a number of small benches have been placed radially around a black-and-white TV in the front, which is playing the News Broadcast. This program, which has only been on the air for over a year, is one of the rare TV programs nowadays.

When Chen Lanjun and the others came in, the news broadcast had already come to an end.

Normally, it was time for the party to end and everyone should go outside, but some people were still coming into the house.

When the news broadcast was over, the black-and-white TV started playing Big Waves - all white dots, nothing else. But the crowd was excited.

“Hurry, hurry up!”

"Is the door closed yet?"

"Don't squeeze me, this seat is mine!"

After a period of silence, the TV flickered and started playing a TV series from Hong Kong TV!

Chen Lanjun exclaimed, “Wow!”, so everyone was waiting to see this?

No wonder.

Although the TV series had extremely poor picture quality, Chen Lanjun still watched it with great interest.

Chen Fengjun didn't think it was a big deal. After all, she had been in Hong Kong for many years and she often saw TV. There was one in the tea restaurant where she worked.

She was thinking about what Chen Lanjun said about opening an electronics factory. Since she had agreed to help, she would not refuse. Just like a tea restaurant needs to buy raw materials to make a dish, she must first figure out the raw material channels for this kind of electronic watch.

After returning to Hong Kong, Chen Fengjun immediately went to a street market specializing in electrical appliances.

Holding a list that Chen Lanjun gave her, Chen Fengjun inquired about the market conditions and prices. Thinking of her pitiful savings, her face became increasingly uglier.

"The assembly of this electronic watch is more complicated than that of a radio," an experienced electrical appliance store owner kindly told her. "The workers need to be trained, and you need to go around to find the channels for parts. The price is not cheap either. If you really want to open a factory, it will be quite troublesome."

Chen Fengjun wrote down these words with a serious expression.

When she met Chen Lanjun, she told her about all these difficulties one by one.

"...I asked about the prices of various parts, and if we added them together, we wouldn't have enough money to open a factory."

At this point, Chen Fengjun lowered his head slightly, his tone full of bitterness: "I'm sorry, I really can't come up with any money. Although I really want to help, it seems... I can't help much."

This problem is very realistic.

Even if an electronics factory does not buy machines but only buys parts for OEM production, it still needs a certain economic foundation. In her previous life, her factory did not produce complete products from the beginning, but started with OEM parts and expanded its business little by little.

Her sister's financial situation at this moment was even worse than she had imagined, and Chen Lanjun didn't know what to say.

She thought for a moment and said, "It doesn't matter. A good cook cannot cook without rice. It's my fault for not thinking it through..."

Chen Lanjun paused for a moment, then suddenly smiled: "Forget it, we can go and do other 'Youmi' businesses."
