717. The old film of the Republic of China (4) Three in one
Old Movies of the Republic of China(4)
It is relatively safe to leave the wounded here. First, because this is a concession, no one will search here. Second, the couple still seems trustworthy.
Qiu Cheng pointed downstairs and asked the two of them to speak below so as not to disturb the wounded.
After walking downstairs, Lin Yutong pointed to the kitchen and said, "Let's talk in the kitchen. I guess it's already o'clock and you haven't eaten yet."
The fourth master took the lead and walked towards the kitchen, "Whether we have eaten or not, it has been several hours since dinner. It is just a midnight snack."
He put the leftover dumplings from dinner into a pot and fried two large plates, then made an egg soup and brought it over. In order to avoid the embarrassment of the guests, Lin Yutong took three sets of bowls and chopsticks over.
Qiu Cheng was not a hypocritical person. He only tasted two and said with a smile: "I haven't eaten such delicious dumplings for a long time."
Lin Yutong was washing rice while planning to cook some porridge for the wounded in a casserole, "Eat more if you like. You're welcome."
Qiu Cheng smiled and suddenly asked, "Are the Xian and his wife both international students?"
Lin Yutong is not.
Fourth Master shook his head: "I am, but my wife is not." It is easy to find out this matter. Checking the list of people entering and leaving the country is not complicated. You don't need to explain to others, but you still need to be honest with this person.
It's good. Besides, it's not bad for them to be born in poverty with nothing. In such a world, there are many orphans wandering around.
Qiu Cheng was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Lin Yutong: "Oh?" This was somewhat inconsistent with his investigation.
Lin Yutong smiled: "There is nothing shameful about this. The main reason is that some people in this world look at people with colored glasses. So we don't explain much. You asked specifically, and I won't hide it from you. I am an orphan, and my parents
I don’t even know where my relatives are from. I was adopted by a doctor who traveled around the streets. It was the master who raised me."
"Then you two..." Qiu Cheng looked at Fourth Master, as if to say, how could you come together with such huge differences?
Fourth Master joked about how the two of them were kidnapped by bandits by accident, "...Besides, although my wife does not come from a wealthy family, nor does she go to school seriously, she is not uneducated, nor is she uneducated.
. On the contrary, Wu Hu No. 4 is floating like this, and she has learned a little bit of everything. Not to mention medical skills, she also learned English and arithmetic very well from the priest."
"Having a common language can be considered a common hardship, I understand." Qiu Cheng looked at Lin Yutong and smiled and said: "Although Xiaolin had a hard time since he was a child, he is now happily married, which can be regarded as a blessing after all the hardships." After that, he asked about Fourth Master's family.
thing.
The Fourth Master smiled and said: "I am now considered a proletarian. I don't have much at home, and everything belongs to my brother. After I came out...it was only a few days..." After that, he paused and said, "Mr. Qiu,
It’s not appropriate for you to show your face outside like this.”
He has been targeted, and this is not good for his safety.
Qiu Cheng nodded, "Yes, there are many occasions where it is not suitable for me to come forward. I have nothing to worry about with Xiao Shao here. But if I come here all the time, I will be irresponsible for your safety. I have a suggestion
, I didn’t know you two…”
Fourth Master waved his hand: "But it doesn't matter."
"That's what I think. I see that you and your wife are the only two people in your house." Qiu Cheng pointed to the house, "If you find it convenient, I will send two people to take care of Xiao Shao... Of course, the two of them will
If you find it inconvenient, forget it. The main thing I think is that I can’t come often and there is a middleman to communicate back and forth..."
Lin Yutong didn't wait for him to finish and said with a smile: "That's just a helper. It's not inconvenient."
Only by contacting each other can we trust each other more.
Qiu Cheng didn't stay long. After dinner, it was already past three in the morning. It would be dawn if he didn't leave. The fourth master sent him out, and the two went to the attic to see Shao Guanshan's condition. The surgery had just passed, and Lin Yutong did not dare to be careless.
She told Fourth Master to rest, "I'll keep watch for now. You might have to go out tomorrow, so you go to bed first. When someone comes tomorrow, it's the same as having someone here to take care of you. It's the same as catching up on sleep during the day."
Early the next morning, two people actually came to the door. One was a woman in her thirties, wearing a blue gown, standing outside the door with a bundle in one hand and a basket in the other. Following her was a ten-year-old woman.
A young man of seven or eight years old, with dark skin and white teeth when he smiles.
"It's Sister Gui and Hanzai. Come in quickly." Lin Yutong smiled and let the door open.
"Hello, madam." The two of them called Lin Yutong.
"No." Lin Yutong waved his hand, "Call me Madam when there is someone around, and Xiao Linxing when there is no one around. We are a family behind closed doors, so clearly separated. We haven't eaten yet, let's eat together."
After chatting with each other for a long time, they all sat down at the dining table. In the morning, they had egg pancakes, pickles, and millet porridge. It was extremely simple to live in such a house and eat such meals.
Sister-in-law Gui took a bite of the food and felt a little embarrassed, "My cooking skills are not as good as my wife's."
"Everything is fine." Lin Yutong said nonchalantly: "We won't choose. Besides, whoever is free will do it. Besides, Sister Gui still has to take care of the wounded."
The fourth master over there has already spoken to the fool: "... From now on, you will do all the shopping at home. You come and go frequently, and gradually everyone gets used to it. Occasionally, you go out to spread a message, or...
No one will care too much if you come back late."
Han Zai responded. It is not easy to have such a cover to operate in the concession. How to arrange it.
The fourth master went out after dinner. Today he has to go to the textile factory. Five hundred oceans a month is not that easy to make.
After dinner, Sister Gui cleaned up the kitchen. Lin Yutong went up to see the situation in Shaoguan Mountain. She also changed the medicine for the wound. When Sister Gui came up, she explained all the precautions and went back to her room to catch up on her sleep.
But unexpectedly, in the middle of the afternoon, the phone rang again.
Lin Yutong sat up for a moment, grabbed the phone, and said 'hello', and heard the voice on the other side: "Is it Mrs. Yin? Your custom-made cheongsam is ready. If you are in a hurry, you can come and pick it up now.
"
I didn’t order a cheongsam at all! Although the voice was unfamiliar, he could only know the home phone number. It was not Chen Xiangdong and his wife, but Qiu Cheng. Chen Xiangdong and his wife would not say these words inexplicably, so this could only be from Qiu Cheng.
People with close relationships. Under what circumstances would Qiu Cheng tell others about his side of the news? It could only be that something might have happened to him.
This thought flashed through my mind, and it only took me a moment to figure it out. The other party reminded me, ‘If you need it urgently, come and get it now.’ This actually told me to go there quickly.
Saving people is like putting out fire!
Lin Yutong didn't hesitate at all, "I'm afraid it's not enough to ask someone to pick it up. How can I know whether the clothes fit or not if I don't try them on? I've tried them on myself. If they don't fit, I'd better change them immediately. I'll go over there."
The other party seemed to be relieved: "I asked the guy to wait for Madam at the door. We all know your guys."
This is a reminder to ask Hanzai to lead the way.
"I got it." After Lin Yutong said that, he hung up the phone. He got up and simply changed into neat trousers, picked up his clothes and walked out. He met Mrs. Gui coming down from the attic.
"Madam is awake." Sister-in-law Gui said anxiously, "I was about to call you. Xiao Shao is awake."
Lin Yutong was stunned for a moment, then went in and took a look at Shao Guanshan, who had just woken up and was still a little confused. He felt his pulse and turned back to Sister Gui: "The medicine is in the kitchen. You can boil it for a while. Feed it, as much as you can."
.I just received a call and something happened to Mr. Qiu. I want to go out with Hanzai. You stay at home and watch."
Sister-in-law Gui's expression changed and she cursed: "This traitor."
Lin Yutong's mind suddenly exploded, as if he had read history before and there was such a thing. Gu Shunzhang rebelled! As a result, a large number of underground party members died. Could it be that now...
She didn't dare to delay any longer and ran down quickly. No wonder Qiu Cheng was so reckless in bringing someone home, without even having to screen herself and Fourth Master. It turned out that she was thinking of treating a dead horse as a living horse doctor.
.
I hailed a rickshaw directly from the roadside and gave the other party a deposit, as long as I didn't use the car. The idiot pulled Lin Yutong and ran. Walking through the streets and alleys, Lin Yutong had already been knocked unconscious. Only then did he arrive.
It is located in front of the teahouse next to the tailor shop.
There was a man in his thirties standing at the door of the teahouse, his face full of anxiety. The boy was sweating profusely, breathing heavily, and called him "Uncle Song."
The man nodded and immediately looked at Lin Yutong: "Mrs. Yin, I've been waiting for you."
Lin Yutong waved his hand: "Quick! Where is he?"
"Follow me." The man glanced at the fool and motioned for him to point outside. Then he led Lin Yutong into the teahouse, and then followed him down the stairs into the basement.
There was only an oil lamp inside, and it was dark and damp. Qiu Cheng was lying on the bed covered in blood.
Lin Yutong went over to check, "Three gunshot wounds, it's a miracle that he can survive until now." Lin Yutong asked the person to take a breath before giving the injection, and then said: "It can't work here. It must be moved."
The man shook his head: "Our organization was destroyed and many comrades were arrested. Lao Qiu wanted to cover me, so... Now, there is no place to move to where I dare to take it, so I took the liberty to give it to you
Made a phone call."
Lin Yutong was so anxious that sweat broke out on his head: "Send it to my home. Only my home is safe for the time being." But how can we send this person who is covered in blood and seriously injured? Everything needs to be checked.
After making two rounds in the basement, she said: "We have moved to a new home, and I haven't bought any furniture yet. Can we hide the person in a furniture box and transport him there first? With his injury, it's better to do it sooner rather than later."
"
The man immediately said: "There are several antique sellers nearby..."
Yes! Choose old furniture.
"Let's do it!" Lin Yutong glanced at the person on the bed, "Wrap the person in a quilt and tie him up with a rope. Don't let the smell of blood escape. I'm going to buy furniture."
After coming out of the teahouse, Lin Yutong nodded to Hanzai, and then walked leisurely towards the antique shop not far away. There were ornaments, calligraphy and paintings, and furniture, including armchairs and tables, which were quite complete, but they could be placed in a place for people.
Not much.
"Sister | Tell me if there is anything that catches your eye." The waiter said enthusiastically, "The ones we have here are definitely genuine."
Lin Yutong glanced around. Except for two or three items that were dated decades ago, they were considered to be from the previous dynasty. The others were old. She looked at the store two or three times and finally landed on this one.
On the counter where I ordered. This counter is really not an ordinary counter, but a cabinet for storing food. It is one meter sixty-seven meters long, one meter one-two meters wide, and one meter high. Although a person cannot lie down when he goes in, he can still lean on it.
It works.
She tapped her finger on the counter: "How to sell this?"
The boy almost instinctively said that the thing was not for sale. The thing was completely stingy by his own boss, who spent a lot of money to get it, and the wood was even eaten by insects.
The boss who had been dozing over there was wearing a mandarin gown, a black leather hat, and glasses hanging around his neck. He coughed hurriedly, "Young lady, you really have good eyesight. This is a good thing from the previous dynasty. It's not expensive, 2
Ten yuan, please ask someone to carry it to your home."
Twenty yuan? The little boy was shocked, it was really dark!
Lin Yutong took out twenty oceans from his handbag, "You call someone and they will be delivered to me immediately."
The boss took Dayang in his hand, blew on it, and immediately beamed, "This is called a person, this is called a person."
Lin Yutong came out of the store and waited for the four big men to carry the cabinet over. She immediately thought of something and sent the four people, "Go to the store and ask the boss if he still sells the four armchairs? If so, then what?"
Give me twenty yuan. You can also bring it out for me."
With that said, each person gave him a dime of his hard-earned money.
After all four people left, Hanzai rolled out a quilt. Lin Yutong opened the cabinet door from the top and asked Hanzai to put the people in, then closed the lid.
The man surnamed Song came out of the teahouse and took two thick ropes and tied the cabinet tightly. He inserted arm-thick wooden sticks at both ends and asked people to carry it just right.
Just after packing up, these four people walked out carrying an armchair. Behind them was the boss, who was waiting to collect the money.
Lin Yutong handed over a dollar, "This is the deposit. I want this chair. Wait until a few workers have finished delivering it, and then make another trip for me. I will settle the money with you later."
It may feel strange to only buy a large cabinet, but it won't be strange to buy other furniture one after another.
"Okay! Okay!" the boss responded hurriedly. This girl is stupid and has a lot of money, so she said, "Okay, okay!" In fact, if each of these workers was asked to carry an extra chair, it was only one trip, and she had to ask for money twice.
I want to remind him, but he thinks he can't commit the crime. Doesn't this show that he is incompetent?
Lin Yutong, who is stupid and has a lot of money, doesn't need to think about it to know what role she is playing today. She has no time to idle here. She directly got on the rickshaw, glanced at Hanzai, and said to the person named Song: "If... there is
Sora, come and play at my house."
This is a hint to him that if there is no place to go, please go directly to your own home.
The man surnamed Song waved his hand and urged Lin Yutong to leave quickly, "I will definitely go when I have time."
There were no major changes along the way, and there was not much investigation when entering the French Concession. The Chen family is still very respectable in this area. Knowing that the house was bought by the Chen family, the people who live there now naturally have a close relationship with the Chen family.
.So, when it got dark, the furniture was carried into the house.
As soon as I entered the house, I saw Chen Xiangdong was there.
When he saw the box being carried in, he was stunned and asked, "Sister-in-law, what is this?"
Lin Yutong opened his mouth: "I want to learn mural painting, but I can't paint on the wall. I found a box with the right size and repainted it with paint. It's easy to use."
Chen Xiangdong immediately laughed: "It's good for my sister-in-law to do this. It saves me from being bored at home all day like the one at home."
Lin Yutong directed people to move the boxes to the study room upstairs. He turned around and said politely to Chen Xiangdong: "I'll talk to Sister Liuli another day."
When the fourth master saw Lin Yutong coming up, he answered the call and said to Chen Xiangdong: "Having something to do will save them from having to think wildly at home. It's okay to have such random thoughts, but we are the only ones who suffer."
Chen Xiangdong nodded with deep sympathy. Seeing that the house was in a mess and it was not the time to entertain guests, he stood up and left knowingly, "My sister-in-law has just arrived and is very unfamiliar with Shanghai. There is nothing going on in the factory recently. You just happened to be with me."
Sister-in-law, I’m wandering around, watching movies and listening to plays in the evening, it’s all good.”
Fourth Master smiled and agreed, and politely sent the person out. Just as he turned around, he saw Han Zai sending the delivery person downstairs. He rewarded Han Zai again before asking Han Zai to send the person out.
When I went upstairs, I saw Lin Yutong and Mrs. Gui struggling to pull someone out of a box.
The fourth master helped to get the person out and sent him to the attic above.
By the time the bullet was taken out, it was already midnight.
After a hurried meal, Fourth Master and Lin Yutong returned to the house and said: "It's not appropriate to always bring people home. I think we have to find a way to build a safe house."
Lin Yutong lay tiredly on the bed: "Yes! I thought so too." She said, telling Fourth Master what she had remembered before, "With such a traitor, no wonder things happened one after another."
The fourth master sighed: "You have been in contact with these people outside, but it is better not to rent the property recently. As for the house matter, there is no rush. Now if you are in a hurry to inquire, your whereabouts will inevitably be exposed."
Lin Yutong responded and fell asleep in a daze.
In this way, Lin Yutong stayed at home completely. He only took care of these two wounded people. Fourth Master went to the factory every now and then, and then came back and worked in the study.
On this day, Mrs. Gui finished cleaning the study and put away the crumpled manuscript paper from the paper basket. Shao Guanshan was lying on the bed in the attic, looking at Qiu Cheng who was still asleep beside him. When the door rang, he
He immediately became on guard. When he saw that the person who came in knew Mrs. Gui, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Sister-in-law Gui looked outside and handed the paper over, "Xiao Shao, you are too worried. I think Mr. Yin and Xiao Lin are doing well. In order to save you and Comrade Lao Qiu, they took great risks.
Yes. I feel sorry for others even if I do this."
Shao Guanshan opened the drawing, and then his expression changed. He couldn't tell whether it was excitement or something else. He wanted to sit up immediately, "Sister-in-law Gui, I accept your criticism. But this time, I was wrong."
There is something wrong. Do you know what we will miss if I don't let you do this?"
Sister-in-law Gui looked at the paper and shook her head: "I can't understand this either."
"A firearms expert and a doctor with top medical skills, do you know what this means?" Shao Guanshan shook the drawing in his hand, "Help me ask Mr. Yin. I want to apologize to him personally."
The fourth master and Lin Yutong were sitting in the study. They both looked at the empty wastebasket and smiled. Shao Guanshan was very cautious. This was something both Lin Yutong and the fourth master could feel since he woke up. However,
It's no wonder, being betrayed once is enough.
Sister-in-law Gui came to invite the fourth master, but Lin Yutong did not follow him. Instead, he went downstairs and called to the fool: "Go out and buy two old hens. The wounded ones will drink soup, and we will eat meat."
Han Zai was raised by the family's food, and he seemed to be a little mature. He took the money neatly and turned away. When he came back, it was his job to kill the chickens and pluck their feathers.
Sister-in-law Gui herself felt even more embarrassed. This not only saved her life, but also cost her a lot of money. They are now being taken care of by others.
When Lin Yutong served the soup, he heard Fourth Master's voice coming from inside: "...The design is not yet in place, and it will take a long time to go into production. The key is to have a place of your own...
…”
"If so, are you willing to come with me?" This was Shao Guanshan's voice.
Before the fourth master could speak, Lin Yutong came in with a tray. Seeing Shao Guanshan leaning on the bed, he handed him a bowl of chicken soup noodles and said, "Hurry and eat while it's hot."
There was yellow chicken fat on top of the soup, the noodles were thin and somersaulted, and the green vegetable leaves were exposed a little. After stirring again, there was a poached egg at the bottom of the bowl. He sighed: "Sorry for trouble Xiao Lin." He knew it was not Sister Gui's.
craft.
Qiu Cheng was still confused and couldn't speak. Sister Gui came in, sat aside and carefully fed him a bowl of chicken soup.
The fourth master then got up and went downstairs to eat.
After that day, Shao Guanshan did not talk about the conversation between him and Shao Guanshan again. Such days lasted until the end of November, after their injuries stabilized and they could move.
On this day, Han Zai came back and delivered the dishes directly to the kitchen and went directly to the attic.
That night, when Qiu Cheng and Shao Guanshan came down for dinner, they talked about saying goodbye.
"I've caused you too much trouble." Qiu Cheng raised his cup, "I'll replace the wine with water today, so I have to thank Xiao Lin. We met by chance, but we didn't expect to receive such a great favor from you. We have a long history.
, there is always a chance to meet again."
Shao Guanshan was cautious, but in fact he carried a bit of gangsterism. He said directly: "We can't pay back what we owe, but we have to pay back the debt. We are really poor and can't afford to pay back. I think so
, if we don’t have any money, we’ll use someone to pay off the debt. Let’s keep Sister Gui and Han Zai here first, and when we have money, we’ll come back to redeem them.”
This is going to tie the two of them to death. You can't do it if you don't follow me.
Qiu Cheng looked a little embarrassed, pointed at Shao Guanshan and yelled: "You little Shao... you can't change your bandit habits."
Shao Guanshan looked at Fourth Master with a smile: "Mr. Yin, what do you think?"
The fourth master looked at Han Zai: "Then I have made a profit. Where can I find a smart guy like Han Zai now?"
"Where is Xiao Lin?" Shao Guanshan looked at Lin Yutong again.
Lin Yutong pushed the noodles to the other side and said, "It's good for the whole family to stir in the same pot!"
"Hey!" Shao Guanshan slapped his thigh: "Xiao Lin is right, one family! One family! There is no difference between you and me."
Lin Yutong had another impression of Shao Guanshan. This person was a rogue!
Fourth Master and Lin Yutong didn't ask where they were going. But after sending them off and looking at Sister Gui and Han Zai at home, they felt at ease.
As soon as these two people left, Fourth Master became busy.
Lin Yutong sent him out: "What's wrong? Is there something going on in the factory?"
"No!" Fourth Master waved his hand, "You have been busy treating the injuries of those two people recently, and I didn't tell you. The flood has passed, and now these victims..."
Lin Yutong slapped his forehead, yes! How could he forget this?
Just as he was about to speak, the phone rang. Lin Yutong waved his hand and asked the fourth master to go to work. He was probably contacting the merchant to raise money.
Lin Yutong answered the phone. It was Li Liuli calling, "Sister, do you have time today? A women's rescue group sent me a message, and I asked for one for you. Let's go and take a look."
"Okay!" Lin Yutong agreed without even thinking about it. She also wanted to use these connections to raise the issue of preventing post-disaster plagues next year. If possible, she would like to go to the disaster area next year.
The Women's Rescue Society is a semi-official organization. After Lin Yutong and Li Liuli met, they rushed to a club together.
Lin Yutong also asked about the reason for this gathering: "But for disaster relief?"
Li Liuli nodded: "Every time something like this happens, people with a family background like mine must be included in the invitation. It's just asking everyone to donate money and materials. Everyone pays attention to face, so they invited us,
It gives us face. Giving some money also gives others face. Only when we both have face can we talk to each other later."
Lin Yutong knew clearly that even if some people actively advocated it, many people came with different purposes.
When they arrived at the place, Lin Yutong felt that the organizer had put some thought into it. The entire hall was not small, but it was surrounded by sofas in a circle. There was no priority, which made people feel very comfortable. When he looked up, he saw a banner on the wall that read '
The Women's Rescue Association cares about the victims. When she arrived, a lot of people had already arrived. She followed Li Liuli and went up to get to know the people and sat on the outer seats. Lin Yutong understood at a glance that the seats inside should be
They were some officials' wives, and most of them came from the families of wealthy businessmen. In the outer areas, there were many reporters, holding cameras, ready to take pictures at any time.
Sitting and waiting for someone is a bit boring. Just when I was bored, another person sat down next to me. I turned around and saw that she was a very modern woman. She sat down and said hello to Lin Yutong: "Hi——"
Lin Yutong felt that what she said should be in English, so she turned around and smiled, "Hello!" She greeted very cautiously.
The other party looked at Lin Yutong and then at Li Liuli, "I heard Mrs. Chen talking about you. Are you back from abroad too?"
Well?
Lin Yutong smiled and changed the subject: "I haven't asked for advice yet..."
"Jenny Li." The other party said, with a bit of pride.
"It turns out to be Miss Jenny." Lin Yutong nodded politely and thought to himself, "You have a foreign name, but if you put your last name after your name, are you too foreign? Superficial! Superficial!"
Immediately afterwards, Miss Jenny Li began to whisper in Lin Yutong's ears. Lin Yutong went in one ear and out the other. Her thoughts were all on the camera held by the reporter. She was thinking about whether to take the time to go
I bought an old-fashioned camera and kept it for collection. I heard Jenny Li talk about the matter of requesting manuscripts for some reason: "...Mrs. Yin, you also came back from the United States. You should know the rights and freedom of American women.
." She said, and couldn't help but glance at Lin Yutong's chest, "Looking at your figure, I know that you are wearing underwear. It can be seen that you are at the forefront of the wire-traveling era. Nowadays, many people still wear bras.
Bra wraps, the government has already issued an order not to bind bras, but women themselves wrap themselves up. Now that it is cold, forget it, next spring, I am going to work together to promote women's swimming, what's wrong with wearing swimsuits?
Men are completely baffled. I think we should ask progressive women to write the articles and publish a single issue..."
Lin Yutong thought haha. A few years ago, some people advocated LUO running and LUO sleeping. I also shouted a few times. The progress of women is not about wearing swimsuits. It is the same as cheongsam. In the beginning, it was because progressive women wanted to
We pursue equality between men and women, but what does it mean to be equal between men and women? That means wearing the same robe as men. At that time, there was not much difference between the clothes of men and women walking on the street. Therefore, the cheongsam was originally straight and formal.
. Later, it gradually became feminized. No one of those predecessors who pursued equality between men and women would have thought that the direct result of their movement was not that men and women were more equal, but that it produced an unexpected by-product, which was classic women's clothing.
cheongsam.
Now ask yourself to promote swimwear? Who knows what the consequences will be?
The thoughts in the newspaper seem to have been separated by a century. The old-school people cling to the legacy of the Qing Dynasty as if they are living in the last century. The new-school people's thoughts seem to be in the next century. You scold me and I criticize you all day long.
There is never any time to calm down. I have so many big things to be busy with, how can I find the time to take care of them?
Moreover, the righteousness Jenny Li mentioned was a bra. As for what to wear underneath, she really had no interest in discussing it in public. So she just smiled and said to her: "Since Miss Jenny admires it so much,
The United States should know more about what independence is and what respecting other people’s dignity means. I don’t think it’s appropriate for you to talk about this topic in public.”
Jenny Li's mouth suddenly opened. Chinese people always speak in a reserved manner. Even if they are dissatisfied, they will not reveal it to their face like this.
Lin Yutong glanced at her: "Miss Jenny seems to appreciate the American way of doing things more. If you don't want to say NO directly, you won't mind, right?"
"Of course! Of course I don't mind." Jenny Li curled her lips, shrugged, and spread her hands, exactly like a Westerner.
Lin Yutong was rude, but when he turned his head, he found that several people were looking at him very curiously. Li Liuli looked at Jenny Li who had already stood up and left, and whispered to Lin Yutong: "You are so good, how could you send people away with just a few words. She...
…You probably don’t know. She is a somewhat famous social butterfly.”
"Social butterfly?" Lin Yutong frowned: "How can you invite such a person?"
A lady sitting in front turned around and said, "You just came here. I don't know her. Her background is not bad, but after returning from studying abroad, her family's situation has deteriorated year by year. She is willing to give up.
Opened a love shop..."
Lin Yutong immediately understood, "That's it."
"As more people follow her, her reputation will rise. She has become a pioneer of women's progress." The lady waved her hand, "Many celebrities are proud to invite her. I didn't expect you to take them all in one go.
Block it back. Tomorrow you will become famous in the circle. Don’t worry, women like you like this."
Lin Yutong is dumbfounded. He is famous for stepping on a social butterfly. Can we not want this reputation?
What the rescue association said was just to raise funds to help women in disaster areas who had been displaced to Shanghai. Lin Yutong donated 30 oceans with everyone. As for how the rescue association works, she has no idea at all.
But in Lin Yutong's view, although these can play a certain role, the number of people they can help is still extremely limited.
Back home, the fourth master has not returned yet. Lin Yutong was thinking about preventing and controlling the plague in the house. Trying to go through others, it seems that it is obviously not possible now.
If you want to realize your own intentions, you still have to organize your own forces.
There are also medicinal materials! Enough medicinal materials must be purchased and must be raised before next spring. But in this world, these medicinal materials are indeed the most difficult part.
When the fourth master came back, it was already dark.
"Why so late?" Lin Yutong asked, taking the suit jacket he took off.
Fourth Master scratched his head: "I found some Americans, and I happened to meet a former...classmate in the United States."
"What are you looking for from the Americans?" Lin Yutong thought he was looking for someone else to raise money.
The fourth master glanced at Lin Yutong and said, "The biggest shortage now is food. It is inevitable that there will be so many disaster victims. Even if they have money, they have no place to buy food."
"Looking for American businessmen to import grain?" Lin Yutong was really stunned. This was not an easy matter.
