The second bowl of wontons was eaten much slower than the first bowl, and the two of them chatted while eating.

After asking Luo Yang where he went today, Luo Yang told him with a smile that he went to the Chenghuang Temple and the Bund today, and then walked from the Bund to the First Department Store for a walk.

Compared with Yanjing, the business atmosphere in Shanghai is even stronger, especially the Chenghuang Temple, which is similar to Dashilan in Yanjing, but is more popular and has more abundant products.

It's a pity that Luo Yang no longer does these businesses. He just walked around with great interest, felt the fireworks of this market, and took a good look at some of the features of Shanghai, known as the Pearl of the Orient.

"What about tomorrow? Where have you and Xiaoyun made an appointment to go tomorrow?"

"Xiaoyun said she would take me to Xiafei Road tomorrow. By the way, there is another road..." Luo Yang thought for a moment and asked tentatively: "Shaomai Road?"

"Shaomai Road? Are you talking about Maiyang Road?" Song Yuanchao had lived in Shanghai for so many years and had never heard of Shaomai Road in Shanghai. He thought about it and asked.

"Yes, yes! Maiyang Road, haha, I forgot. I ate xiaolongbao and shaomai at the Chenghuang Temple at noon today. The two wheats were mixed up."

"Hahaha, you kid..." Song Yuanchao suddenly became happy. This guy Luo Yang ate Shaomai and called Maiyang Road Shaomai Road. Fortunately, he didn't eat anything else, otherwise he knows what he would have remembered.

stuff.

After laughing a few times, Song Yuanchao was suddenly stunned. Isn't Maiyang Road Zhang Yong's territory? What happened to this girl Li Xiaoyun? How do you take Luo Yang there?

Whether it's Luo Yang or Zhang Yong, Li Xiaoyun's relationship with them is very subtle. To put it bluntly, these two people can be regarded as "love rivals." Li Xiaoyun is so careless that she didn't think of this? Or is she too crazy to think about it at all?

Where to think? What will happen when these two people meet tomorrow? Song Yuanchao didn't know what to say for a while.

"We won't start a fight then, right?" Song Yuanchao thought to himself, but after careful consideration, he felt that this possibility was very small.

He knew both Luo Yang and Zhang Yong, and he knew their personalities very well. Although tit-for-tat might occur, it would not happen in a fight, but Song Yuanchao was not sure what the outcome would be.

"I said, Old Song, why are you looking at me like this? Your eyes are weird." When Song Yuanchao was thinking and looking at Luo Yang, Luo Yang, who felt his gaze, couldn't help but ask.

"Haha, it's nothing. I guess I was too tired today and was a little distracted." Song Yuanchao smiled and found a reason to explain, and then said: "Lao Luo, the customs in Shanghai and Yanjing are different. The people in Shanghai are different from those in Yanjing.

People pay more attention to the sense of social distance between people, which is somewhat similar to Western customs. After all, this is caused by the history of Shanghai."

"I have something on hand these days and don't have time to go shopping with you, so when I'm with you Xiaoyun outside, don't be as careless as when I was in Yanjing. Otherwise, you won't be easily misunderstood. Do you know?"

"I know!" Luo Yang replied with a Shanghai dialect in an awkward accent, and then rolled his eyes at him: "Do you think I'm a fool? I understand the principle of keeping a low profile when going out, don't worry."

"Haha..." Song Yuanchao smiled and nodded. There were some things he couldn't say clearly, so he could only kindly remind Luo Yang in this way. It's unclear how much Luo Yang would listen, but it was better than not saying anything at all.

After finishing the wontons, I paid the bill and got up to go home.

After a good night's sleep, Song Yuanchao drove to Tongji University after breakfast the next day.

It is already summer vacation, and Tongji University and Capital University are both on holiday. However, the Department of Architecture of Tongji University is nationally famous. Due to the special nature of the Department of Architecture, some teachers of Tongji University are still working in the school.

When I arrived in Tongji, I asked someone about Professor Pan's office, and Song Yuanchao found the place quickly.

Carrying the specially brought gift, I knocked on Professor Pan's office door, and it was Professor Pan who opened the door.

Compared with Professor Yao, Professor Pan looks younger, and his clothes are much more fashionable than Professor Yao. In Shanghai dialect, he can be described as wearing "green mountains and green waters". In addition, he has an elegant face, which makes him look like a handsome uncle.

temperament.

The meeting with Professor Pan went very smoothly. Professor Yao helped call Professor Pan before Song Yuanchao arrived. With Professor Yao's relationship, Professor Pan warmly welcomed Song Yuanchao's arrival.

First, they chatted with Professor Yao in Yanjing for a while, and then Song Yuanchao revealed his purpose of coming. Professor Pan already knew Song Yuanchao’s purpose of coming, and immediately asked Song Yuanchao about the location of the house. When Song Yuanchao told the road to the house,

When asked by name and house number, Professor Pan looked a little surprised.

Like Professor Yao, Professor Yao in Yanjing knows the old buildings in Yanjing City very well, and Professor Pan in Shanghai also knows the century-old old houses in Shanghai because of his professionalism.

Song Yuanchao's house is located at the northern end of Qiqi Road in the French Concession. This road is very famous. There is a building in Shanghai that is famous both at home and abroad, and that is the Mahler Villa. But few people know that there are actually two Mahler Villas. One is

The one everyone knows, and the other one is hidden among the high walls and trees on Qiqi Road.

In addition to this other little-known Mahler Villa, Qiqi Road, which is 947 meters long from north to south, is also the location of famous institutions such as Shanghai University for the Elderly, the School of Music, and the School of Life Sciences. It was the former residence of many celebrities in Shanghai.

It's also there, and the old bungalow purchased by Song Yuanchao is close to the University for the Elderly. It was once the private residence of the deputy director of the French Concession Board of Directors, and is only separated by a wall from the famous Bai Mansion.

Surprised eyes flashed past. Although he was surprised that Song Yuanchao was able to take over this house, Professor Pan did not ask too much in this regard.

As Song Yuanchao and Luo Yang said, the social habits of people in Shanghai are more similar to those in the West. This is caused by the history of Shanghai. This is especially true of senior intellectuals like Professor Pan, who rarely care about personal privacy.

Ask directly.

Knowing the situation, Professor Pan felt confident. The drawings of many old buildings in Shanghai were still preserved. With Professor Pan's status and connections, it was not difficult to retrieve the drawings from the jurisdictional housing bureau.

So Professor Pan mainly asked how Song Yuanchao planned to repair this house, and also asked some questions about the interior soft decoration. Song Yuanchao had already considered this. Unlike the courtyard houses in Yanjing, these old bungalows in Shanghai are all Western

The earliest owner of the building was not Chinese, so both the architecture and layout have distinct Western characteristics.

Song Yuanchao proposed that all the specific work should be led by Professor Pan. He only hoped to carry out overall renovation according to the original requirements and add necessary facilities and layout to adapt to modern life. In addition, for decoration, including furniture and soft furnishings, Song Yuanchao hoped to carry out the overall renovation according to the original historical requirements.

Style restoration can be described in one sentence, that is, after the repairs and decorations are completed, Song Yuanchao hopes to see its original appearance, both inside and outside.

This was recognized by Professor Pan, which also made Professor Pan very interested in this project. However, he told Song Yuanchao that the cost to achieve this would be quite high. Song Yuanchao, who had been prepared for this for a long time, clearly told Pan

The professor's fee was not a problem. At the same time, Professor Pan was invited to help with the same conditions as Professor Yao's for repairing the courtyard.

Since there is no problem with Song Yuanchao, then there is no problem with Professor Pan. Professor Pan immediately agreed readily, and the two agreed to find time to look at the house together before making a plan. After the plan was released, Song Yuanchao

Once approved, construction will begin.

After the conversation, Song Yuanchao left the gift and stood up to say goodbye. Professor Pan, who was in a good mood, personally escorted Song Yuanchao downstairs and shook hands to say goodbye.

After driving away from Tongji University, Song Yuanchao went straight to Tengfei Factory. When he arrived at Tengfei Factory, it happened to be lunch time.

When I arrived at the factory, I happened to meet Xiao Qi first. Xiao Qi was very enthusiastic when she saw Song Yuanchao coming. She chatted with Xiao Qi for a few words downstairs. Song Yuanchao gave him the car keys and asked him to help find someone to clean the car.

Because of yesterday's car accident and rescuing people, the interior of the car is already dirty. In addition, after a trip to Suzhou, the car body is also covered with dust. Now, unlike in the future, you can only rely on yourself to wash the car, but in the alley

Bian doesn't have this condition, so he can only do it in the factory.

"Brother Yuanchao, don't worry. Leave the car to me. I'll make sure it's as clean as new when you get down." Xiao Qi said, taking the car keys with a smile.

"Okay, I'll go up first." Song Yuanchao patted him on the shoulder and nodded.

"By the way, Brother Yuanchao, you haven't had lunch yet, right? How about I go to the cafeteria to prepare some for you?"

"Isn't it troublesome?"

"What's the trouble? You go ahead and I'll bring it to you later. Today the canteen is cooking big ribs. The grilled big ribs with green onions from our factory taste very good. You haven't tried it yet. I'll call you later.

piece."

"Okay! Then I'll wait." Song Yuanchao said with a smile.

Xiao Qi happily went to the cafeteria to help Song Yuanchao prepare food. Song Yuanchao went straight upstairs to Li Daqi's office.

Knocking on the door of the office, Li Daqi was also eating. There was a lunch box on the desk and he was halfway through eating.

"Daqi!"

"Yuanchao, are you here? Have you eaten? If not, I'll prepare some for you." Seeing Song Yuanchao's arrival, Li Daqi quickly raised his hand to wipe his mouth and stood up.

"I met Xiaoqi downstairs. He went to help me prepare food. You can eat first. My food will be here later." Song Yuanchao said with a smile and sat down directly on the chair opposite Li Daqi.

"Okay, I'll eat first, you sit down for a while." Li Daqi nodded and continued to sit down and eat.

After a while, Xiao Qi brought two lunch boxes up. He took the lunch boxes and opened them. One lunch box was filled with rice, and the other lunch box was filled with vegetables. The food in the cafeteria was good and rich, and the grilled ribs with green onions were also very good.
Chapter completed!
