Chapter 340 Qimen Dunjia
According to the information obtained by Xu Youyou, according to what Mr. He said, the corresponding passwords of each safe deposit box of Junnuo Company are all in neat and even tones.
Xu Youyou thought that even if this password was not a poem or song, it was at least a couplet or something like that.
She didn't expect that Mr. Wu actually nodded while holding the note.
"You are very well prepared."
Since she couldn't get the safe deposit box today, Xu Youyou wanted to get to the bottom of it, so she asked, "Is this really the password to the safe deposit box? It's clearly a bunch of numbers and letters, you..."
Mr. Wu finished what she hadn't said: "Very trendy, isn't it?"
Xu Youyou looked strange.
Grandpa Wu said: "Our family rose in the late Ming Dynasty, experienced the Tartar regime, and then encountered the opening of the eyes to the world. The country's doors that had been closed for hundreds of years suddenly opened, and countless new things poured in. If we don't keep up with the times, how can we continue to survive."
Xu Youyou hesitated for a long time, and finally asked: "Your family, do you think the business is still going on now?"
Mr. Wu waved his hand and said, "I know what you are thinking. You think that after me, Junnuo Trading Company is gone, right?"
"Isn't that the case?" Xu Youyou wondered.
Grandpa Wu said: "At present, our country is very safe. Junnuo Trading Company is indeed useless, but most of my family members are abroad. It's just a change of name, which does not mean that our family business is over."
Xu Youyou paused after hearing this, but she was wrong. Mr. Wu’s family had its own way of inheritance.
"At first glance, this password is a combination of numbers and letters, but in fact it is well-balanced. If you don't believe me, take a look." said Mr. Wu.
Xu Youyou tried to read out the password, and it turned out to be exactly the same as what the old man said, with the rhythm and antithesis of the tones, very neat.
"Don't worry. Our Wu family has never ruined our reputation. Jun Nuo, Jun Nuo, I will keep this promise for my whole life."
Xu Youyou listened to the old man's assurance and became curious for a moment, so she asked, "How many safe deposit boxes do you have now?"
Mr. Wu laughed and said, "If you had come here ten years earlier, I would have told you that there was only one safe deposit box."
Xu Youyou immediately asked: "What about now?"
Mr. Wu said, "Now, let me tell you, there is really only one safe deposit box."
Xu Youyou: ...
Although the other party said it and it seemed as if he didn't say it, Xu Youyou understood that the old man should have given away safe deposit boxes in the past ten years, and hers was the last one.
"Is it placed in the cellar?" Xu Youyou asked.
Xu Youyou had both the key and the password, so Old Man Wu didn't hide it from her and said, "You guessed right."
"If my box is taken out, can your cellar be rented out?"
This time, Mr. Wu did not object, but said, "Anyway, it seems that the domestic Junnuo Company will not have any new customers. The cellar is empty anyway, so it's not bad to rent it out and make some money."
Xu Youyou didn't expect it to be a double blessing. She also felt it was strange: "Is my box so big? Do I need a three-bedroom cellar to keep it?"
After hearing this, Mr. Wu laughed and said, "Do you think you can keep other people's treasures anywhere? I have guarded this cellar for nearly 80 years and have experienced so many things in the meantime. It's not enough to just bury things underground."
Xu Youyou asked: "If it's not buried underground, could it be just casually placed in the cellar?"
Old Master Wu looked at her with contempt and said, "You are a pretty girl, but why don't you use your brain when you speak? Qimen Dunjia, the Five Elements and Eight Diagrams, do you think these are just empty words?"
Xu Youyou touched her nose awkwardly. She had once chosen these courses in the training space, but after attending the class once, she knew she was not cut out for it.
The threshold for these courses is so high that it is no different from advanced science such as quantum mechanics. People without sufficient basic knowledge cannot learn them.
Seeing her like this, Mr. Wu lost interest in chatting and said, "Let's wait until tomorrow. We'll go get it together tomorrow morning."
Xu Youyou asked: "Do you know what's in that safe?"
When Mr. Wu heard this, he immediately looked insulted and said, "What did your family teach you? Don't you know that we in the Wu family never pry into the privacy of our customers?"
Xu Youyou said: "I am an orphan."
When Mr. Wu heard this, he did not look guilty like the others who heard the same thing. Instead, he said, "Since you came to me with the key and password, it's obvious that your family taught you something. This is not a reason for you to be rude to me."
Xu Youyou didn't know how to explain for a moment. She got all these things through the system. They were not inherited from her family at all. Explaining too much would be meaningless. She simply said, "Sorry."
Mr. Wu said, "Miss Li, since you are willing to apologize, I won't hold it against you. See you tomorrow."
Xu Youyou: "My last name is not Li, my last name is Xu."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Wu frowned for half a minute before he relaxed his brows. He sighed heavily and said, "The world has changed so much. I didn't expect that Mr. Li's things would end up in the hands of someone else."
The old man did not doubt Xu Youyou's background. After all, in his opinion, it was impossible for an outsider to get both the key and the password at the same time. He just thought that the things passed down by the original customer fell into the hands of the descendants of his daughter who married out.
"You don't look like someone who favors boys over girls." Xu Youyou said.
Old Master Wu chuckled and said, "If my son-in-law took the most precious thing of my family but was unwilling to let his descendants follow my surname, it would be enough to prove that my daughter has entrusted her to the wrong person."
After listening to this, Xu Youyou became more and more looking forward to tomorrow's safe deposit box. She didn't know what kind of precious thing could be worthy of being called the "most precious" thing of a big family.
After leaving the Wu family, Xu Youyou returned to her residence. As soon as she lay down on the bed, she was startled.
This safe deposit box originally belonged to a customer named Li. For nearly eighty years, this person has not come to retrieve his treasure.
Not only that, the keys and passwords fell into the hands of different people. What kind of major changes would lead to such consequences?
Xu Youyou got the password from a second-hand car. The original owner of the second-hand car was not named Li at all!
As for the key, its story is even more tortuous and bizarre. A jade pendant represents the promise of the Heishui family, but the Heishui family only keeps an address.
After all this trouble, Xu Youyou felt that it was the result of mutual compromise.
