Chapter 32 Arrival in Shanghai
Time was urgent and there were many people queuing to get off the boat. In addition, Mrs. Lu was particularly insistent, so Lin Siqiao had no choice but to accept the bracelet temporarily.
Guard Xiao He got a military jeep from somewhere, and Lin Siqiao and Old Lady Lu said a few more words before getting in the car.
"Remember what I just said, don't forget to contact Grandma Lu."
"Okay, I'll remember that."
Lin Siqiao waved her hand, "Grandma Lu, I'm leaving now."
"Go ahead, Xiao He, drive slowly on the road."
"I understand, old lady."
Xiaguan Railway Station is not far from the ferry terminal. In less than ten minutes, Guard He parked the car in the square in front of the station.
"Comrade Lin, please go to the station to take shelter from the rain."
"I'll go buy the tickets and be right there."
"Okay, sorry to bother you."
Lin Siqiao nodded and handed over the money he had prepared early in the morning.
Guard He refused to accept it. "Comrade Lin, please don't say that. If it weren't for you today, Xiao Du and I would not have the face to see the commander."
After saying that, he trotted to the ticket hall. After showing his ID, the conductor quickly handed him the ticket.
"Comrade Lin, here are the tickets. Take them."
"And this, take it too."
Lin Siqiao didn't expect that Guard He actually bought her a soft sleeper ticket. As for the package, she was even more confused.
"This is?"
"This is what our old lady ordered just now. It contains some fruits and food. You can take it with you on the road."
"I still have to go to the hospital, so I won't send you to the car. I wish you a safe journey in advance."
Unable to refuse the other party's kindness, Lin Siqiao could only nod.
"Okay, then please say thank you to Grandma Lu for me."
"I will."
After the train drove away, Lin Siqiao carried his things to the waiting room of the station.
At 11 o'clock in the evening, Lin Siqiao boarded the train to Shanghai on time. Needless to say, the environment of the soft sleeper compartment was definitely very good.
However, Lin Siqiao was already very tired at this time, so he went to bed after a simple wash.
When I opened my eyes again, it was already eight o'clock the next morning, and the train was slowly approaching the platform.
After a good night's sleep, Lin Siqiao got off the car with her luggage, full of energy.
This is the Shanghai Stock Exchange that she has been thinking about!
Now I'm finally back.
Lin Siqiao was excited for less than two seconds when a familiar face appeared in his sight.
At this time, she didn't know the other person's name was Li Manzhen.
I just felt that the girl looked much more haggard than yesterday!
What Lin Siqiao didn't know was that after she left the restaurant yesterday, Li Manzhen was completely entangled by the family of four.
I had to eat and change cabin, which took most of the day.
After a while, the weather finally calmed down, but then a thunderstorm came again.
Li Manzhen fell off the upper bunk of the bunk bed without paying attention, and her butt still hurts.
Seeing Lin Siqiao walking out of the soft sleeper car, Li Manzhen couldn't hide the jealousy in her eyes.
It was only after she got off the ship yesterday that she heard that something had happened to the VIP guest in the first-class cabin.
Please, they are the commander’s family members!
If they had known earlier, they would have climbed up to save people even if they had to crawl!
After all, now that I'm connected to the commander, if anything happens in the future, will the other party just ignore it?
Unfortunately, everyone was away when the accident happened, and finally this enormous wealth was picked up by a passenger in the second class cabin.
Li Manzhen was also very regretful, but what she didn't expect was that the person who rescued her was Lin Siqiao!
Yesterday, when Lin Siqiao was saying goodbye to Old Mrs. Lu, Li Manzhen happened to walk by.
She saw with her own eyes that the other party put Lin Siqiao into the car. She had to say that this damn girl was really lucky!
They didn't like each other, so there was naturally nothing to talk about when they met. They glared at each other and then parted ways at the train station.
Lin Siqiao carried his luggage, spent four cents to get on the tram, and deliberately chose a window seat.
She had lived in this city for more than 20 years and could get nowhere even with her eyes closed, but now it felt so unfamiliar to her.
Especially when I saw Pudong on the other side of the river, the sense of gap in my heart became even greater.
Her large flat with river view is now just a small area of low grey tiled houses.
Who could have imagined that in a few years, this would become the most prosperous place in Lujiazui and even in the whole of China.
Well, could she seize the opportunity in advance and buy some land here?
Thinking of this, Lin Siqiao looked at the person opposite him with noticeably more eagerness.
That was all her little money!
Twenty minutes later, Lin Siqiao got off the train at the platform closest to Shanghai Theatre Academy.
I went to two guesthouses in a row but there were no rooms available. After asking around, I found out that the guests staying there were all candidates for the Shanghai Drama Academy.
There's nothing we can do about it as the circumstances this year are special. If it had been in the past, no one in the drama school would have been interested in it.
It was not until after eleven o'clock in the morning that Lin Siqiao found a place to stay near the school.
As soon as we entered the courtyard of the guesthouse, we saw several good-looking boys and girls standing inside. Some were reciting poems, and some were rehearsing dances.
We rehearsed for a whole day, and some people were still warming up their voices in the room until after 11pm.
Alas... no matter which era, the phenomenon of involution has always existed.
The next day, Lin Siqiao got up early on purpose. Normally, he could be unkempt, but today he absolutely couldn't!
Her hair was tied into a high ponytail and her bangs were pinned up with hairpins, revealing her smooth and full forehead.
She chose a plaid dress that was above the knee and a versatile pair of black buckled leather shoes.
The guesthouse was only seven or eight minutes’ walk from the school. Lin Siqiao packed up and went out with his backpack.
Along the way, I met several waves of candidates.
Originally Lin Siqiao thought that he had taken it seriously enough, but after this comparison he realized that that was not the case.
Among the candidates traveling with me, nine out of ten wore stage makeup, and many of them came wearing performance costumes.
Huh? This is not right.
Lin Siqiao remembered that Director Li mentioned that the school had a rule that candidates must be without makeup when taking the third test.
The other candidates who didn't wear makeup were also confused at this moment.
What's going on? Why are they all wearing makeup!
Then wouldn’t it be a disadvantage if I didn’t transform?
Just when everyone was hesitating whether to find a place to touch up their makeup first.
Several invigilating teachers came out of the teaching building, and when they saw the makeup on the students' faces, their faces changed immediately.
"You, you, and you, what's wrong with you?"
"Didn't you receive a notice before signing up that I had to be without makeup today?"
The people who were named didn't dare to respond.
Of course they knew it, but they all just hoped for the best.
The teacher didn't care what they thought and pointed directly to the washroom not far away.
"I don't care what method you use, just remove the makeup on your face."
"The exam will start in ten minutes, hurry up, otherwise you will be disqualified!"
