He spoke expressionlessly, "Young man, I heard you're going to deliver a letter to me. Where is it? Take it out now."
However, even though Mo Yuan had arrived at his destination, he remained neither humble nor arrogant. When the old man inquired, he calmly replied, "County Magistrate Bao instructed me to personally deliver this letter to the recipient."
So, if I may ask, are you the recipient I'm looking for?
Mo Yuan's sudden words clearly took the old man by surprise. He was initially taken aback, a look of astonishment on his face. But soon, this surprise turned into a hearty laugh.
Laughter echoed through the room, breaking the silence and filling everyone with curiosity and anticipation for what was to come.
"Young man, you've got some nerve! I haven't met anyone like you in a long time! Tsk tsk tsk, look at you, you're quite the character! I suppose the fact that Little Jin sent you to deliver this letter means your relationship must be extraordinary! It's really rare, truly rare! Back then, he was so arrogant, he looked down on everyone."
I never expected to have any dealings with someone younger than me, and even have him running errands for me. It seems that experiencing life at the grassroots level really can change a person! Haha, I'm quite interested in what he's become now! "Hmm, that's right, no doubt about it, I am Hao Fengshan, the person you're looking for to receive this letter. So, do you need me to provide any proof of my identity?!"
"No need, no need, leader. Of course I believe you if you say so!" Mo Yuan quickly replied, carefully handing over the letter. Hao Fengshan took the letter, skillfully opened the envelope, and began to read it intently. Mo Yuan stood quietly to the side, not daring to make a sound, for fear of disturbing the other party.
After a while, Li Wenjie brought in a steaming cup of tea and gently placed it on the table. Mo Yuan nodded in thanks, then lowered his voice and said softly, "Thank you." He then quietly sat down in the chair next to him. Time passed by, and the only sound in the room was the occasional soft rustling of Hao Fengshan turning the pages of a letter.
After a long while, Hao Fengshan finally closed the letter slowly, raised his head, and looked Mo Yuan up and down with great curiosity. His gaze was like two sharp lightning bolts, as if trying to see through Mo Yuan's appearance to his inner world. His eyes sparkled with intense interest, and he kept nodding slightly, seemingly quite satisfied with Mo Yuan.
Hao Fengshan never dreamed that Bao Ruijin would actually write him a letter. At first, he was full of doubt, wondering if something important had happened. But when he opened the letter, he found that it only said one thing from beginning to end—Mo Yuan was going to stay in Shanghai for a while and asked Hao Fengshan to take care of him.
The letter detailed Mo Yuan's trip to Shanghai to visit his wife and recounted his experiences in Xiangcheng County.
Moreover, the text later mentions Mo Yuan's admirable noble character and sense of the big picture: he took the initiative to understand the difficulties faced by the country, and after earning a lot of wealth from foreigners with his own abilities, he did not care about gains or losses and willingly exchanged all of these foreign currencies into RMB.
All these events and deeds were clearly written down by Bao Ruijin in the letter. The meaning between the lines was very clear: if Mo Yuan encountered any trouble or problems while in Shanghai, he earnestly requested Hao Fengshan to lend a helping hand and take care of him. And this favor would undoubtedly be recorded in Bao Ruijin's account.
After reading the deeply meaningful letter, Hao Fengshan's curiosity about the young man named Mo Yuan surged like a tidal wave. After all, Mo Yuan was just a young man from the countryside; normally, someone with such an ordinary background should have lived a quiet and uneventful life.
However, this seemingly ordinary young man actually possessed extraordinary abilities beyond the imagination of ordinary people, which was truly unbelievable. At the same time, Hao Fengshan couldn't help but sigh inwardly that this boy was indeed extraordinary!
Even more astonishingly, Bao Ruijin, who was always arrogant and disdainful of everyone, spoke highly of Mo Yuan, sparing no words of praise. And who is Bao Ruijin? His status and position are extraordinary; he has a promising future and shines brightly.
With his aloof and superior attitude, countless high-ranking officials and nobles would try to curry favor with him, but usually none could catch his eye. Yet now, he would actually write a letter specifically to Hao Fengshan, asking him to take good care of a mere Mo Yuan—this was utterly unprecedented!
Those spoiled brats who used to bully and act arrogantly in the provincial capital were all self-important and thought they were something special. But even if they tried their best to curry favor with Bao Ruijin, they would only end up being ignored. They wouldn't even get a chance to get close to him, let alone be given a second glance.
However, the fact that Mo Yuan, who looks unremarkable and seems ordinary, has won Bao Ruijin's deep favor and attention is enough to show that Mo Yuan is by no means simple.
Thinking of this, Hao Fengshan secretly made up his mind that he must find a suitable opportunity to get to know this mysterious and unpredictable Mo Yuan, and find out what his extraordinary qualities were, and what kind of magical power he possessed that made Bao Ruijin look at him so differently.
