Chapter 653 Unwritten Rules
"My cousin, you keep holding the phone and chatting. What if you miss the most critical phone?"
Needless to ask, this person must be Gu Han.
His attitude made Li Yuanlong very disgusted, so he asked back: "Gu Han, have you been monitoring me?"
"No, I happened to pass by. I accidentally saw you calling, so I'll give you a suggestion." Gu Han put his hands in his pockets, shrugged his shoulders, and walked to Li Yuanlang with an indifferent look.
"Shameless." Li Yuanlang bit his back teeth, glared at Gu Han, and hit his shoulder as he passed through him.
When Li Yuanlang's figure disappeared, Gu Han sneered, with a chill in his eyes.
Bai Qing never called her phone again, but sent a message to Li Yuanlang, with a few simple words, confirming that we would meet at a cafe in Second Ring Hutong tomorrow at 9 o'clock in the morning.
That night, Li Yuanlang thought a lot.
The next morning, the Gu family arranged a car and a driver to take Li Yuanlang to the destination.
The Old Hutong on the Second Ring Road is a protective measure taken by the capital to preserve the appearance of the ancient capital.
Siheyuan itself is an art, with reasonable architectural layout, every grass, every wood, every brick and every tile is very particular.
It has a long history, some of which have a history of thousands of years and are of great research value. It is part of cultural heritage and is rare ancient buildings that cannot be demolished just by demolition.
Moreover, the Siheyuan has long been integrated into the flesh and blood of the Great Capital and penetrated into the bone marrow of the Great Capital. It is impossible to separate.
Compared with the tall buildings made of concrete, the courtyard house is the soul, an irreplaceable memory symbol, and the crystallization of the wisdom of our ancestors.
What's more, the capital is not short of tall buildings. It is the first choice to retain these courtyards with architectural characteristics and historical charm.
The coffee house that Bai Qing chose is located on the roadside in the alley.
Because the capital city is sparsely populated at this time, the alleys seem quiet and elegant, and it is difficult for pedestrians to see a few.
When he pushed the door open, Bai Qing was sitting in a locker in the corner.
There are about a dozen people in the cafe, all of whom are young.
Interestingly, they sat at a distance of three or two tables from Bai Qing, not far or near, but kept at a distance where they could never hear the conversation.
Soothing music is played in the cafe, and the sound is not loud and does not affect the guests' speech.
Bai Qing sat upright on the chair, smoking a cigarette with a thin pole.
Seeing Li Yuanlang, he waved to him.
I haven't seen each other for a while, Bai Qing's face is radiant and elegant.
"Sister Bai, you are getting more and more beautiful." Li Yuanlang sat opposite Bai Qing, unable to help but give him a decent flattery.
Bai Qing smiled slightly, "When did I learn to be slick? I did nothing all day and I was left to take care of myself. Unlike you, my eyes were all black, so I must have not slept well last night."
Li Yuanlong sighed, "Can you sleep well? There are so many things that you can't sleep even if you want to."
Bai Qing nodded without comment, called the waiter and ordered a cup of ground coffee for Li Yuanlang.
During this period, Li Yuanlang looked around again and found that Xiaolan and Xiaoqing were sitting opposite each other in the seat by the window, each with a glass of lemonade. He didn't look at them, but he always looked out the window with vigilance.
Soon, the aromatic coffee was served and there was a beautiful snack.
After the waiter left, Bai Qing put out the cigarette, and then Li Yuanlong said: "The Gu family did encounter big trouble this time. Asakawa Eimeihui met some idle third-generation ancestors through Gu Chuang and got a lot of information from them."
"Asakawa and others are a country that attach great importance to details, and they have reached a terrible level in terms of intelligence. In the lives of ordinary people, collecting and sorting information has become a spontaneous habit."
"In addition to online information, they also trust traditional media reports very much. Even today, the circulation of newspapers is also huge."
"Even if you have just experienced a disaster, struggling. The first thing you do when you struggle is to find a newspaper. For example, when you are in a small town, appear under the window of your neighbor and say goodbye to the taxi driver, the next moment, everyone in the town will know that you are moving here..."
Li Yuanlang, who was adding sugar to the coffee cup, heard what Bai Qing said, and his hands suddenly froze, showing a look of horror.
"Yuen Long, I'm not scaring you. Even if it's a sentence they don't care about, such as a normal personnel transfer from the military, Asakawa just remembers the name of the person, takes it back and analyzes the person's personality, work experience and background, and then he can calculate why we have to transfer him to this place, and even calculates our strategic layout and policy bottom line."
"Huh..." Li Yuanlang couldn't help but sigh and asked worriedly: "So, Gu Chuang's trouble this time is really a big deal. Is there a suspicion of selling intelligence?"
"How to say it, Gu Chuang himself is neither a government official nor a military official. He knows very little, and he did not do it on purpose. But..." Bai Qing's words changed, making Li Yuanlang's heart suddenly nervous.
"But, he has caused a lot of losses to our country. Do you understand what I mean?"
Li Yuanlang leaned back and took out the Furong King. Just as he was about to light it, he saw Bai Qing throwing him a special thin-bar cigarette, "Smoke me, this cigarette has a small nicotine content and does not cause much harm to the body."
Although the cigarette is mellow and soft, Li Yuanlong has no time to experience the taste and is thinking about countermeasures.
"Sister Bai, it seems that Gu Chuang and the Gu family will be doomed this time."
Bai Qing picked up the coffee cup, took a sip, and said leisurely: "Yuen Long, for a long time, high-ranking families have always paid attention to the right match for their children's marriage. I used to despise and despise them. Now I think about it, there is still a reason."
"At least, both men and women understand, including the background of each other's parents and family, at least there will be no such thing as selling off national interests. It is that you and Shui Tingyue are combined. You may not know that you have been secretly reviewed for a long time. Even if you or your family have any problems, you will not succeed."
"Look at it, there are very few children from high-ranking officials who marry foreigners. Why is this? I think it's easy for you to understand. You must be careful of others."
Bai Qing's words awakened Li Yuanlang.
That's right, he has never heard of the news that a certain child is combined with a foreigner.
"Gu Zhengchuan's mistake is that he is too indulging Gu Chuang, so he is so indulging that he ignores this minimum principle, which leads to such a big thing. Stop his position is light. If he continues to investigate the next step, his family, including you, will be more or less involved."
Li Yuanlang was silent. He thought about this matter too simply. Unexpectedly, there were so many deep meanings in it.
Bai Qing continued: "If Mr. Gu was alive, this kind of thing would not have happened at all. He has a very firm position in terms of principles and in the face of major issues, which is worth learning from by our younger generations."
"There is no medicine for regret in the world. Since it has happened, we have to face it." Li Yuanlang sighed. Listening to Bai Qing's meaning, it seemed that this matter was difficult to reverse.
The day of the Gu family's demise is not far away.
"Don't be too pessimistic, everything has its own if. Let me tell you the truth, they have a debate on this matter. The good news is that Mr. Gu is highly respected and has passed away not long after he dies. He will not kill all his children without looking at monks and Buddha's faces. This matter has been slow."
When Li Yuanlang heard this, his eyes lit up.
He naturally understood who "they" meant.
He turned off the cigarette and hugged his arms and sighed, "Sister Bai, I have lived in an ordinary family since I was a child, and I am facing the food, rice, oil and salt. To be honest, since I got married with Tingyue and entered the Gu family, I really have no happiness, I am actually worried."
Bai Qing leisurely fiddled with the coffee cup and said sadly: "Who said no? Just say me, when you first met me, you came and went freely and did whatever you want, now..."
She smiled bitterly and shook her head, looking helpless.
"Sister Bai, you are so good now. We can still sit here, have a coffee and chat, which is no different from the past."
