Chapter 149 Chapter 149 Second update (revised)
It is said that everyone is arranged to visit scenic spots, but in fact most of the scenic spots are just passing by. Fortunately, the overseas businessmen do not really want to see the scenic spots. Looking at the current state of the motherland through the car window is enough to make people think a lot.
Cui Jianzhong did not talk much along the way. When encountering "attractions", Shen Moer would give him a brief introduction. He did not say anything, but he did not ask Shen Moer to shut up.
This old man's personality will definitely shut people up if you really don't want to hear it.
Shen Moer didn't take it as an offense, and continued to introduce it all the way. In Mao Cuimei's eyes, it seemed that the overseas Chinese businessmen ignored her, but Shen Moer still persisted, and she immediately admired her even more.
"I also wanted to come to the capital in the past."
The old man who had been silent all the way suddenly said after passing by No. 161 Middle School and hearing Shen Moer casually introduce that this was originally the No. 1 Girls' Middle School in the capital.
Shen Moer looked at the building outside the window and asked casually, "Why don't you come?"
The old man was silent again for a long time. Just when Shen Moer thought he would not answer, he suddenly spoke again, "Things are unpredictable."
He suddenly turned to look at Shen Moer and said, "The Ministry of Commerce arranged for you to serve me. I don't need any other services. I want to find someone who was a student of the Capital's No. 1 Girls' Middle School. Her name is Lin Yufei."
Shen Moer blinked and nodded, "I will report it to the Ministry of Commerce. Don't worry, it will be arranged."
Cui Jianzhong stared at Shen Moer for a while. His eyes narrowed slightly, deep wrinkles appeared at the corners of his eyes, and he sneered: "You two girls are really interesting, one is as smart as a ghost, and the other is as dumb as a wood."
Mao Cuimei: "???"
She looked at Cui Jianzhong aggrievedly, thinking, how could I be stupid? I didn't dare to say anything because I was afraid of making you unhappy. Why don't you just turn around and kick me out of the car!
Cui Jianzhong suddenly said, "Little girl, why do I feel that you look familiar?"
Shen Moer raised her eyebrows and said, "I'm sure this is the first time I see you."
Cui Jianzhong glared at her and said, "I haven't been back for decades. You weren't even born when I was in China. Where have I seen you?"
Shen Moer was not afraid of him at all: "You can see that I'm right."
Cui Jianzhong frowned and said to himself, "If I haven't seen you before, then I must have seen someone who looks similar. It's not surprising that people look similar."
Shen Moer didn't need to say anything, he found the answer for himself, and then he didn't speak again.
When they arrived at the Mingyuan Ruins, a row of cars finally stopped and everyone got out of the car.
After getting off the car, Cui Jianzhong went to talk to his old friend. Shen Moer and Mao Cuimei didn't want to disturb him, so they stood far away.
Mao Cuimei sniffed and said, "Senior Shen, am I useless?"
Shen Moer glanced at her, curled her lips and smiled, and said, "You call me senior, isn't it normal for a senior to be a little better than a junior?"
Mao Cuimei immediately laughed too: "Yeah, Senior Shen is more than a little better than me, it's normal for you to be much better than me." After all, she was
the one who started the Huacai Garment Factory from scratch!
Mao Cuimei's family conditions were good, and her living expenses were relatively abundant. After arriving in the capital, she would buy new clothes for herself every season, and occasionally buy one or two clothes and send them back to Shenzhen. In fact, she especially liked the new clothes produced by the Huacai Garment Factory every season.
How can someone make clothes so beautiful? Every time she puts on clothes from Huacai Garment Factory, Mao Cuimei feels that she looks much better and more confident.
Therefore, after she accidentally learned about Shen Moer from Liu Yinshuang, she admired Shen Moer very much.
Shen Moer looked at Cui Jianzhong who was talking to someone not far away, and reminded Mao Cuimei: "Comrade Cui has a sharp tongue but a soft heart. Be thick-skinned and don't be afraid of being confronted by him. He will actually listen."
She thought for a while and said: "The introduction of the itinerary later today is handed over to you."
Mao Cuimei: "..."
Liu Yinshuang came from nowhere: "Your old man doesn't look easy to talk to."
Shen Moer didn't say anything. She thought it was okay. She said Cui Jianzhong was hard to talk to, but in fact, she had never seen a person who was really hard to talk to.
Mao Cuimei said insincerely: "It's okay actually."
Liu Yinshuang sneered and said to her jokingly: "Go find a mirror first. Your expression is so forced, and your eyes are a little red. It's obvious that you can't stand it."
Mao Cuimei stubbornly found an excuse for herself: "I'm a little carsick."
Liu Yinshuang was too lazy to even pay attention to her now, and directly said to Shen Moer: "I heard that Lin Yiqing in your class is a relative? The person she serves is the initiator of this overseas Chinese business delegation. It is said that he runs a hotel and is very rich."
Shen Moer sometimes admired Liu Yinshuang. I don't know how she did it. She found out the details of this group of overseas Chinese businessmen in a short time.
She followed Liu Yinshuang's line of sight and looked at the crowd not far away. Sure enough, she saw Lin Yiqing in the crowd. In front of her stood a thin man in a suit. From her angle, Shen Moer could only vaguely see the man's profile. He looked much younger than Cui Jianzhong, but his temples were a little gray.
This man should have a good temper, at least Lin Yiqing was standing next to him. Not only did he not dislike Lin Yiqing for disturbing them, but he would turn his head and say a few words to Lin Yiqing from time to time, and would not embarrass or ignore her.
Liu Yinshuang watched for a while, muttering "It's better to have connections than to have abilities". After a while, she seemed to remember something and said, "By the way, the old man Cui you serve is said to be in the clothing business. He is our colleague, Director Shen."
The overseas businessmen took a group photo in front of the Mingyuan ruins. Many white-haired old people looked at each other and wiped their tears.
Liu Yinshuang whispered to Shen Moli again: "The people in the Ministry of Commerce who arranged the itinerary are such thieves. They first brought us here to receive some patriotic education on not forgetting the national shame. How can these old men and women, who have been wandering for half their lives, stand this? Their minds must be full of 'industry to save the country, industry to develop the country', and they can't wait to donate all their savings to the country for construction."
Shen Moli: "..."
Maybe there is some truth in what you said, but why does it sound so strange when it comes out of your mouth?
After visiting the Ming Garden ruins, the convoy took a detour to return to the Jianguo Hotel via a road that they had never taken before.
No one spoke, and there was an awkward silence in the carriage. After a long time, Mao Cuimei trembled and said, "There, there is a bridge..."
Cui Jianzhong looked back at Mao Cuimei speechlessly. Just as he was about to make a sarcastic remark, he saw Shen Moer bowing from behind. Cui Jianzhong's mouth twitched, and he simply said nothing, turning his head and continuing to look out the window.
Mao Cuimei saw that Cui Jianzhong didn't say anything, and the nervousness in her heart suddenly dissipated, and the following words gradually became fluent.
When we got to Jianguo Hotel, Cui Jianzhong couldn't help but sarcastically said, "Does your school know that you are not here to practice foreign languages but to practice your Chinese expression skills?"
Mao Cuimei's face flushed immediately, and she opened and closed her mouth for a long time, and finally uttered, "The school asked us to come here to serve you. Our mission is to make you feel at home. No matter foreign languages or Chinese, no matter black cats or white cats, a good cat is one that can catch mice!"
Cui Jianzhong was speechless for a long time.
Shen Moer and Mao Cuimei didn't need to follow him for dinner. Cui Jianzhong followed the flow of people into the restaurant.
It was a buffet, catering to everyone's different tastes, with both Chinese and Western food.
After all, people are different. Some have been away from home for many years and still miss the taste of their hometown, while others have already gotten used to the food of the United States.
Cui Jianzhong took a bowl of duck blood vermicelli and found a seat in a corner. Not long after he sat down, someone came to sit opposite him with food in hand.
It was Su Jingnian, the initiator of their investigation group.
On Su Jingnian's tray was a bowl of sliced noodles with thick red sauce, which formed a sharp contrast with the light duck blood vermicelli.
"I asked the reception team about the matter again. They said that they had arranged to check the information we sent them earlier, and there should be progress soon. It should be easy to find the person. The files of the Capital No. 1 Girls' Middle School are said to be well preserved."
The steam from the noodle soup rose up, blurring Su Jingnian's eyebrows. He sighed and lowered his head to eat noodles slowly.
