Chapter 356 Chapter 357 Extra 2: The big shots coming to Xicheng, gifts
Pei Qin and Wang Xu are both from Xicheng.
They are both very low-key in Jiangda, but both families are influential in Xicheng.
Wang Xu comes from a scholarly family. His uncle works at the Jiangjing Research Institute, his grandfather is the president of Xicheng University, and his grandmother is also a professor at Jiangda. He is in the Physics Department of Jiangda purely because of family reasons.
As for the Pei family, it goes without saying.
When they heard Ning Xiao say that Bai Xi and others came to Xicheng, they couldn't sit still.
Wang Xu left behind a group of young men in the Xicheng circle and went outside to call Bai Xi.
"The airport," Bai Xi replied, "you and Pei Qin should find some time these two days."
Since they were already in Xicheng, Bai Xi also planned to take the two of them to the base for a look.
Wang Xu was excited after hearing what Bai Xi said. "Okay."
He hung up the phone and went back to the private room.
A group of people gathered together and greeted him with a smile, "Brother Xu."
Wang Xu smiled at them. When he looked up, he saw Pei Qin sitting on a single sofa in the center.
The lights in the large private room were dim. Pei Qin was wearing a casual sweater, with his legs crossed and a red wine glass in his hand. Although he was wearing casual clothes, he exuded the official aura that had permeated him since childhood.
He was talking to the young man on the sofa on the left.
He spoke in an official tone.
"Mr. Zhuo," Wang Xu greeted the young man, then leaned against the tea table behind him and raised his hand to ask the person next to him to pour him a glass of wine, "You are right, Sister Xi and the others have really arrived, you should make preparations and keep them free for the next two days."
"What? Tomorrow?" Pei Qin, who had just spoken in an official tone and was more than dignified, sat up straight with a bright look in his eyes.
Wang Xu took the wine glass, thanked the woman, and raised his eyebrows.
Pei Qin took out his phone and sent a message to Ning Xiao while he raised his chin towards Wang Xu, "Come out and talk."
"I'm asking Sister Bai," Wang Xu saw Ning Xiao's profile picture and shrugged, "I really don't know how you communicate with the academic god Ning."
Wang Xu always thought that Bai Bai was the best person to communicate with. As for the cold Ning Xiao, he felt that the other party was too difficult to approach.
Pei Qin glanced at him. Ning Xiao's emotions were outwardly expressed. Compared with Bai Bai, who was unfathomable, you couldn't guess what she was thinking even if she smiled. That was terrifying.
He was too lazy to explain to Wang Xu.
The two went out.
The remaining people looked at each other, and someone asked bravely, "Brother Zhuo, what are Master Wang and Master Pei talking about, who is Sister Xi?"
They didn't know which "Lian" it was.
If you think about it carefully, there is no girl in the circle who calls her by this word.
Also, how many people of the same age can be called "Sister" by Pei Qin and Wang Xu in the whole West City?
Zhuo Yang took out a cigarette, and the person next to him immediately lit it for him.
He slowly exhaled a smoke ring and murmured, "The other party should not be from our West City."
Everyone present could hear that Wang Xu and Pei Qin were very respectful when they mentioned "Ning Xue Shen" and "Sister Xi".
Ji Yun listened quietly to the conversation of several people on the side.
Until Wang Xu and Pei Qin came back again, everyone present could see the joy on their faces, even Pei Qin, who was always dignified, could not hide it.
**
In the evening, at Ji's house.
When Ji Yun came back, the eldest grandmother of the Ji family was still in the hall. He came in in a hurry without even taking off his coat, "Grandma, you know we are from Xicheng..."
He pulled his coat with one hand and said halfway.
He saw an old man in a gray robe sitting next to the eldest grandmother, whom Ji Yun had never seen before.
Ji Yun knew that this should be the eldest aunt mentioned by his grandparents.
He swallowed the words that were about to come to his mouth, put away his impetuous character, and greeted politely.
"This is Ji Jun," said the eldest grandmother, who was old. The Ji family doted on their only daughter, Ji Wanxin. She died in a foreign land, and Ji Heng did not bring back her ashes. The eldest grandmother was resentful in her early years, but now that she was old, she was much calmer. She introduced Ji Jun to Ji Heng, "the eldest grandson of the second son's family."
At this point, the eldest grandmother introduced several people from the family to Ji Heng, and finally said, "And Alang. Ji Lang went to discuss business with his fiancée and has not come back yet..."
Second Master Ji was annoyed to hear this, because when he was a child, he was the one who was most attached to Ji Wanxin.
Ji Heng took Ji Wanxin away from West City like this. In the end, Ji Wanxin died before he saw her for the last time. This time when Ji Heng came back, he didn't give Ji Heng a good look, even though Ji Heng showed great respect to him and the grandmother.
He put down the teacup and took Ji Yun away.
Ji Yun watched the other party leave, and said hello to the grandmother and followed. After
the two walked out of the courtyard, Ji Yun spoke, "Grandpa, I went to Brother Zhuo's place today and met the one from the Pei family and the Wang family. It seems that a big shot came to West City today..."
As for how big a shot, Ji Yun didn't know.
The second master of the Ji family paused, tilted his head to look at Ji Yun, and thought to himself: "Is it the business that Ji Lang and the others were talking about?"
Ji Lang is from the third house. The Ji family's weaving and spinning is not as popular as before, but it is also very important, with an unparalleled cultural heritage. The family wealth may not be much, but the foundation is definitely not bad.
It has been managed by the eldest grandmother for so many years, and in recent years, the eldest grandmother has wanted to get rid of it.
Ji Lang and Ji Yun have been fighting openly and secretly. Recently, Ji Lang seems to be in contact with a group of people for a business. It is not a big business, but the other party... seems to have a very big background.
The second master of the Ji family also wants to get involved, but he can't find any connections.
He doesn't even know who wants to find the Ji family to order what type of clothes.
**
Uncle Meng, who was by the grandmother's side, sent Ji Heng back to Ji Wanxin's previous room.
"Miss Wanxin's room has always been here," he opened the door and showed Ji Heng the facilities inside. It was old but well-maintained, and the pearwood couch was not damaged at all. "You will stay here at night."
Ji Heng stood outside the door. Looking at this room again after forty years, he felt very dazed. He held the cigarette holder tightly and said in a low voice, "Thank you."
Uncle Meng glanced at Ji Heng, closed the door and left.
Ji Heng stood there for a long time, then walked to the couch step by step, and reached out to touch the mahogany, his fingers were dry, then he slowly sat down on the couch, and did not speak for a long time.
At the Ji family's eldest grandmother's side.
After Uncle Meng came back, there was a young couple in the eldest grandmother's side hall.
The eldest grandmother was talking to the girl with a smile, and her voice was gentle, and it was obvious that she was satisfied with the two people in front of her.
Uncle Meng also bowed and said to the two respectfully, "Second Young Master, Miss An."
"Uncle Meng, where are you from?" Ji Lang asked with a smile.
"The eldest aunt, your aunt's husband," the eldest grandmother sighed, "After forty years, he finally came back."
The eldest aunt?
Ji Lang and his fiancée looked at each other, neither of them had heard of it.
Only when Uncle Meng sent them out did Ji Lang consider asking about the news of his aunt's husband.
Uncle Meng said a few words.
There had been no news of Ji Heng for many years, and what he knew was what Ji Heng said today, "He has been living in Xiangcheng, no wonder we have no news of them. I heard that he has a grandson and a granddaughter."
Xiangcheng has only developed in the past two years.
"Grandson and granddaughter?" Ji Lang narrowed his eyes and asked calmly.
"I heard that his granddaughter came to Xicheng with him, and went to a friend's house and didn't come back together." Uncle Meng didn't know anything else.
Ji Lang kept this in mind.
After Uncle Meng sent them to the door and left, Miss An beside Ji Lang spoke, "Yun Jin Feng Pao, your grandmother should take action on this matter."
The two quickly forgot about Ji Heng.
"I know," Ji Lang knew the seriousness of the matter, "this matter cannot be known to Ji Yun and others."
"Ji Yun went to the Zhuo family's bureau today," Miss An rubbed her dark green coat, "I heard that there is a big man coming to our West City. Do you think it will be the housekeeper?"
After Zhuo Yang's bureau, the attitudes of Wang Xu and Pei Qin were no longer a secret.
"Impossible," Ji Lang shook his head and said deeply, "You should know who the housekeeper belongs to."
How could the Wang family and the Pei family have anything to do with them.
But who exactly are they talking about? Ji Lang also wants to check.
**
The next day.
In a sea area in the north of Xicheng, a road is separated by a single line.
Wang Xu drove a cool yellow sports car and looked up to see the gate and the roadblocks on both sides. The eight large characters "Seawater Purification Research Base" on the top were solemn and solemn.
He was silent for a moment, touched his head, and asked Pei Qin beside him, "Did I... drive the wrong car today?"
Bai Yu directly sent the location to the two of them, but this research base had just been built and was not displayed on the satellite. When
Wang Xu first clicked in, he thought it was a wilderness beach.
He found a car suitable for driving on the beach, but who knew that when he drove here, it turned out to be a research base?
Driving this fancy thing here, Wang Xu felt that he was committing a crime.
He got down from the driver's seat dejectedly and called Bai Di.
Seeing Wang Xu calling Bai Di again, Pei Qin opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end he said nothing.
He waited quietly at the door.
Three minutes later, a slender figure came out, wearing a black windbreaker, with one hand in the pocket of the windbreaker, standing a few meters away, looking at them calmly.
Wang Xu and Pei Qin's scalps suddenly felt numb. They both stood up straight and said obediently: "Mr. Jiang."
"Come in." Jiang Fuli turned away coldly.
Bai Di and Ning Xiao were looking at the machines. They were wearing white coats and walking in the silver dome operating room. Some of the machines were running.
Wang Xu and Pei Qin, both wearing temporary badges on their chests, looked at this scene in shock.
Several people were here all day. Bai Di and Ning Xiao calculated data and occasionally asked Wang Xu and Pei Qin questions about the model.
It was not until the evening that Bai Di received a call and the group left.
Ning Xiao continued to stay here for research. Bai Di was going to see Xuan Kang's medicinal material producer in Xicheng. Xiao Qi earned the first batch of funds from Xicheng.
She and Jiang Fuli were in Xicheng, and the driver was a guard from Xicheng.
The two guards followed them closely from beginning to end.
After Xuan Kang reported his data, he gave Bai Di the things shipped from Xiangcheng, "Miss Bai, this is what Mr. Xiao Qi asked me to bring to you."
They were a few gift boxes that Ji Heng prepared for the Ji family.
The two guards behind Bai Shi took them one by one.
After sending Bai Shi away, the others left.
The bodyguard next to him asked Xicheng Xuankang General Manager in confusion, "Is Miss Bai really our Xuankang?"
"Of course." General Manager Xuankang replied.
"General Manager, let's renew the contract for another ten years." The bodyguard became more and more excited.
General Manager:...? ? You were not so easy to talk to when I invited you before!
Ordinary people can't see it, but the bodyguard was a retired soldier, so he could naturally see that the two people following Bai Shi just now had a bulge on their waists, which should be a gun.
These days, those who dare to go out with guns...
**
Ji family.
Ji Heng sat under the willow tree next to Ji Wanxin's house, quietly looking at the green stone pond next to it.
Until Bai Di called.
She told him that the gifts had arrived.
Back in Xicheng, Ji Heng prepared New Year gifts for Grandma Ji and the others. Some of the tobacco was bought from Li Sheng, and there were also some specialties from Xiangcheng. The tobacco had not arrived yesterday, so Xiao Qi told Ji Heng that Xuan Kang was about to deliver the goods, so she would bring them to him today.
Ji Heng was not ready to let Bai Di come to the Ji family.
After all, her situation was really special.
Go and say hello to Grandma Ji and tell her that there was something.
"It's that old housekeeper..." Ji Lang was talking to Grandma in a low voice. When he saw Ji Heng coming, he lowered his eyes, bowed his head and changed the subject.
Knowing that they deliberately changed the subject.
Ji Heng didn't care, he just told his grandmother that he was going out.
His grandmother didn't stop him, "You haven't been back to Xicheng for a long time, and Xicheng has changed a lot. Let Lao Meng go out with you."
Uncle Meng can drive.
Take Ji Heng to find Bai Di.
On the way, Ji Heng received a call from Ren Qian.
Ren Qian wanted to wish Ji Heng a happy new year, but he didn't see him, so he called to wish him a happy new year. During the call, he mentioned Xiao Qi inadvertently.
The two talked a little more about continuing to go to school.
Ji Heng had no objection to Xiao Qi not wanting to continue to go to junior high school. Although Ren Qian didn't care about Xiao Qi, he was a little annoyed by Ji Heng's tolerance.
Wait for the call to end.
Uncle Meng looked at the back seat in surprise, "Are you talking about your grandson? Is he going to school? Junior high school? He can go to school in Xicheng. You don't have to worry about his academic record. Master Lang and Miss An are here."
"No need," Ji Heng hung up the phone and shook his head, "He is eighteen years old. It is not appropriate for him to go to junior high school."
What?
Eighteen?
Uncle Meng was shocked.
He thought that Ji Heng's grandson would go to junior high school at the age of thirteen or fourteen, but he didn't expect that he would be entangled in junior high school at the age of eighteen.
I wanted to ask other family members of Ji Heng, but now I don't dare to ask.
Soon, we arrived at the teahouse in the old street.
Uncle Meng stopped the car and followed Ji Heng, looking at the quaint old streets around him, "Aunt, where are you going?"
"Aunt," Ji Heng took a cigarette, looked in a direction and walked over, "My granddaughter." Granddaughter
?
Uncle Meng muttered in his heart and followed.
Double the monthly votes, dears, don't forget to vote, good night!
