Chapter 55 Is Someone Thinking of Me?
The next day...
Not even ten o'clock.
Ji Chen had already taken a taxi from Jiangda to Xike Village.
Although the old landlord would arrive in Xike Village in the afternoon as agreed, he had nothing to do in the dormitory, so he simply went out to Xike Village to take a look and see if there were any other factories.
If he fails to reach an agreement with the old landlord today, he can choose another factory as soon as possible.
After all, winter is getting closer, and the sooner the factory can be finalized, the better.
As the car was driving on the road, news broadcasts from an FM channel continued to be heard.
"Officials announced the release of gold and silver commemorative coins commemorating the 600th anniversary of the Forbidden City. Pre-orders for some sets exceeded 40 times the initial volume on the first day..."
"Central Meteorological Observatory Warning: Typhoon Hagupit will make landfall along the coast of Zhejiang Province in the early morning of the 6th..."
"As of yesterday, the box office revenue of the movie 'Across Time and Space to See You' has exceeded 1 billion yuan! It has become the first dark horse movie of the year..."
"Nanyue Go Master Xia Laoyu departed from the imperial capital yesterday and is expected to arrive in Jiangcheng today..."
Hearing this, the driver, who had been silent in the driver's seat, suddenly smiled. "Our Jiangcheng is truly full of talented people. Take, for example, the Southern Guangdong Go Master Xia Lao. He's a well-known figure internationally and he's also from Jiangcheng! And his skills are unmatched. I love watching him compete with others!"
Although Ji Chen didn't know much about chess before, he had heard of the Nanyue Chess Saint. Hearing the other party's words, he smiled and said, "I have also heard of the name of the Nanyue Chess Saint. It is indeed quite famous."
After all, he has become a chess master, so he must have some skills.
When the driver heard Ji Chen's words, he chuckled while steering, "That's really awesome! It's a pity that Mr. Xia is old and has many health problems. He has rarely appeared in public in the past two years. I haven't seen an exciting chess match in a long time."
"Take last year's class for example. If our Master Xia was here, no one would be able to fight!"
…
When talking about this, the driver, who is a chess enthusiast, opened up and spoke with pride.
Ji Chen, who already had proficient chess skills, became interested in what the other party said and started chatting. He even felt inexplicably itchy to play chess.
After all, once you have this skill, you will inexplicably become more interested in this aspect, and when you hear others talk about it, you will feel itchy.
However, he was just chatting along with the driver. If he really wanted to find someone to play chess with, he would have to wait until he finished the things he was doing.
…
at the same time.
The intersection of Xiake Village and Xiakeli.
A Maybach slowly stopped by the roadside.
As soon as the car stopped, the driver's door was opened from the inside. A young man in formal attire hurriedly got out of the car and opened the back door.
"Mr. Xia, we're here. Be careful when you get out of the car." After the man opened the car door, he immediately warned the people inside.
"Hey, I told you I could take a taxi back, but you insisted on sending me. Look, I've wasted your time again, Xiao Li!"
In the car, an old man who was probably in his sixties spoke as he stood up from his seat and got out of the car.
Although the old man's face was weathered, his two sunken eyes were deep and bright, and looked very spiritual.
His hair was neatly combed and he was wearing a simple, clean white shirt and trousers.
Today he had originally planned to take the bus here without telling his granddaughter after arriving in Jiangcheng, but unfortunately his eldest grandson knew about it in advance and insisted on sending a driver to pick him up even though he couldn't leave.
But no matter what he said, Xia Zhonggeng was still happy in his heart when he saw his eldest grandson's filial piety.
When the driver, Xiao Li, heard what Xia Zhonggeng said, he hurried forward to support him and said, "Mr. Xia, you can't say that. This is also our President Bai's intention. It won't delay my work. Your safety and health must be the first priority."
"You're almost as good at pleasing people as your boss, Mr. Bai!" Old Xia smiled kindly and continued, "Well, go back and get busy. Once you get into this place, you won't have to worry about me. This is where I've lived for decades."
After hearing what Elder Xia said, the latter thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Then if Elder Xia has any inconvenience in the future, please be sure to inform me as soon as possible."
"Okay, get busy."
"Then please go slower."
"Um."
…
After saying that, Xia Zhonggeng walked towards the village.
The driver behind him watched him leave before getting in his car and driving away.
…
In a short while, Xia Zhonggeng was familiar with the route and arrived at the Xike Cultural Center near his home.
There is a century-old banyan tree here. If he is not mistaken, today should be the same as usual under the banyan tree, with old friends gathering under the tree to play chess.
Anyway, he told his granddaughter that he would arrive in the afternoon, and the little girl probably wouldn't come so soon, so he might as well kill time here with his old friends.
…
What Xia Zhonggeng didn't know was that his granddaughter had arrived at the old yard early this morning.
Now the two girls are wearing aprons, gloves and holding rags, cleaning the yard inside and out carefully.
Although as the youngest in the family, Bai Lianwan has been pampered by his family since childhood and rarely does these things, but he still does them very seriously and carefully.
Her seaweed-like hair has been casually tied up, revealing a beautiful face and a straight nose. As her little hands wipe the floor, a few strands of black hair fall down, forming a sharp contrast with the whiteness of her side face, showing a heart-pounding side profile.
Lin Qingya, who was standing by, turned her head carelessly and saw Bai Lianwan beside her, and she immediately fell in love with him...
Why does Wanwan from their family look so good even when she is cleaning?
If this continues, she will be turned gay by this girl sooner or later!
Bai Lianwan sensed the strange gaze beside her and immediately turned to look at Lin Qingya, "Is there something wrong with my face?"
Lin Qingya shook her head, "No, I just think my Wanwan is so pretty! I don't know which bastard will get her in the future!"
When Bai Lianwan heard Lin Qingya's words, she glared at her without any killing intent and said lightly, "You just talk nonsense!"
Although she said this, the image of the "son of a bitch" that Lin Qingya mentioned automatically appeared in her little head, and the corners of her mouth raised slightly.
But soon, Bai Lianwan reacted and wondered why she automatically thought of that guy's face!
hateful!
But what is that guy doing today?
Is he just lying in the dorm all day playing games or studying?
That would be too boring!
Just when Bai Lianwan was thinking this.
Ji Chen had also arrived at the next tree. As he was walking, he suddenly felt an itch on the tip of his nose.
"Ahhh!"
After sneezing twice, Ji Chen rubbed his nose and asked, "Is someone thinking about me?"
After muttering something, Ji Chen continued to walk inside.
He has almost visited all over this place recently, and the only thing he hasn't visited is a factory in Xike Cultural Park.
He happened to have some time this morning, so he came over to take a look.
…
In just a few minutes, Ji Chen followed the navigation on the mobile phone map and arrived at Xike Cultural Park, where he saw the iconic banyan tree.
As he approached the big banyan tree, Ji Chen discovered that there were several elderly people sitting under the tree, seemingly playing chess.
If it were in the past, he would have left without any interest.
But now that I have mastered chess and have also developed this hobby, when I saw someone playing chess, I couldn't help myself and decided to go over and watch for a few minutes.
Watch a game before leaving!
