Chapter 339 Password
Xu Fang still felt that Liu Xiangyi was joking.
Xu Youyou, who was standing by, heard what was said and said, "Can you find out what Mr. Wu's family did before liberation?"
Xu Fang was holding a pile of information in her hand, all of which were given to her by Ouyang Ouyang.
She quickly flipped through the information page related to the old man's family: "The Wu family, it is said that the entire family was in the capital back then, doing grain business."
Xu Youyou frowned slightly after hearing this.
At that time, those who did grain business were either local merchants or merchants from Jiangnan. It sounded strange that people would go from Hunan Province to the capital to do grain business.
Hunan merchants are not as famous as Shanxi merchants and Anhui merchants, but they have also left a significant mark in modern history. They once assisted Zeng Guofan in the Westernization Movement and opened mechanical textile factories.
Generally speaking, when merchants from a province do business abroad, they mostly do the same kind of business, selling local province's specialties.
Xu Youyou always felt that the four words "grain business" were fishy, but she couldn't figure out what was wrong for the moment.
She didn't expect to get it done in one day, so she told Xu Fang, "Find a place to stay nearby and find out more about the old gentleman."
They came to the village suddenly. The nearest town was about twenty minutes' drive away.
Originally Xu Fang planned to arrange for some people to stay in a hotel in the town, but in the end it was Xu Youyou who made the final decision, and the group paid to stay in several villagers' homes.
After learning the purpose of their visit, the village chief specially invited them to dinner.
After the meal, the village chief sighed heavily: "Honestly speaking, it is a great thing to be able to shoot a movie in our village. Maybe in the future, when the movie becomes popular, our village can also become a tourist attraction. By then, everyone can open a farm stay at home and make money. The young people in the village don't have to go out to work. It's a pity that Grandpa Wu is not happy about it."
Xu Youyou could naturally see that the entire village, including the village chief, hoped that Grandpa Wu would take a step back.
It’s a pity that the villagers couldn’t convince Grandpa Wu to do what his great-grandson couldn’t do.
"We don't really care about the money, we just want to make better work," said Xu Youyou.
The village chief nodded vigorously: "Ms. Xu, don't look at my age, I also surf the Internet, I know you, I know your company's products are all excellent, Gansu's tourism industry was previously promoted by your martial arts film, we are eager to cooperate with you, but unfortunately, the cellar belongs to the old man, no matter what others say, it's useless."
Xu Youyou could naturally see the other party's attitude of trying her best to cooperate. All she could do now was to find out as much information as possible about Mr. Wu.
"Wu family? Miss Xu, my family has lived in this village for generations, and I've told you everything else about the old man. If there's anything different, it's probably from when I was a kid, when my grandfather told me that the original surname of the old man Wu was not Wu, but Wu. I don't know why they suddenly changed their surnames."
Xu Youyou frowned slightly. Wu? She really couldn't detect much from a surname.
"Village chief, do you know that the old man's family used to do business in the capital, grain business? Which business was it?" Xu Youyou asked.
"Which company..." The village chief looked thoughtful. After a long while, he said, "It seems to be called Jun... Juncheng Company..."
Xu Youyou asked: "Junchen? With Jun as their name, did they do business to earn military pay? Was there anyone from the Qing government or the Republic of China government supporting their family at that time?"
It’s no wonder Xu Youyou asked this question. After all, at that time, it was popular to say something like “It’s easier to be an official if you have connections in the court.” If there was no one to protect him, his business would have been eaten up by others.
The village chief shook his head: "It's a gentleman's lord."
When Xu Youyou heard this, her heart suddenly jumped, and she couldn't help but think of the key she got, which was said to represent the safe deposit box of Junnuo Trading Company.
She thought of what Liu Xiangyi said. Was there some treasure hidden in the cellar?
Treasure, safe deposit box. Suddenly, she felt that everything seemed to be connected.
After the village chief left, Xu Youyou didn't hesitate at all and took people to Grandpa Wu's yard almost overnight.
When Mr. Wu saw that they didn't look happy at all, he said, "Why? You still want to bully an old man like me in the middle of the night? I'm calling the police now!"
Xu Youyou was not frightened by this, but said: "I have Junnuo's key."
Her voice was not very loud, but Mr. Wu suddenly stopped.
Obviously, the old man heard Xu Youyou's words clearly, and there was nothing wrong with his ears.
After a long time, Mr. Wu put down the crutch he was going to use to attack, opened the big iron gate outside the yard, and said in a calm voice: "Come in."
Xu Youyou walked in. The others behind her wanted to follow, but the old man glanced over and said, "The others are waiting outside."
Xu Fang was a little hesitant, not knowing whether he should continue to follow in.
Xu Youyou said directly: "Listen to the old man."
Xu Youyou entered the Wu family's yard alone. Old Man Wu turned on the lights in the main room, and Xu Youyou saw the painting again.
Unlike the previous half-finished works, the old man did not lose interest in painting after they disturbed him, but finished the painting.
The light at night is indeed not as good as that during the day, but Xu Youyou can see it clearly. The part that she thought was familiar before is very similar to the pattern on the key.
"Let me see your keys." said Mr. Wu.
Xu Youyou carried the keys and the note with her. When she heard this, she immediately took them out of her bag and handed them to the other party.
Mr. Wu looked at the key again and again for at least five minutes before he nodded gently: "This key is real, and it corresponds to box A."
Xu Youyou didn't expect that she actually guessed it right.
"You came here with such a strong momentum, so you must have asked a lot about me. I am indeed the last head of Junnuo Trading Company." said Mr. Wu.
Although Xu Youyou was very curious about Junnuo Trading Company, she was more concerned about the safe deposit box she was about to get.
"My box..."
As soon as she said this, Mr. Wu waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I can't give you the box until at least tomorrow morning. Besides, the key is real, and you still need a password."
Xu Youyou also knew the rules of Junnuo Trading Company. Only when the key and password matched could she get the safe.
The system didn't give her any password, so she could only bite the bullet and hand over a note.
The note was none other than what she found on the second-hand Lamborghini she brought back from Hong Kong City.
If this note doesn't work, then she doesn't know what to do.
