The train made a clanging sound as it headed north along the Beijing-Guangzhou Line.
At one o'clock in the morning, Lin Xiaoguang was sitting in the soft sleeper carriage, reading the newspaper boredly. As for Anyang, because he was very sleepy, he had fallen asleep in the lower bunk next to him.
With his level, he naturally cannot enjoy this kind of privilege. This is the relationship that Anyang found.
This soft sleeper box has four berths, two upper and two lower, but currently there are only two of them, no one disturbs them, and they are quite comfortable.
It was getting dark outside the window, and the train was speeding through the mountainous areas of northern Guangdong, but he couldn't sleep.
There was no Internet in this era. If you wanted to look up information, you could only go to a library with a large collection of books. Yesterday, he asked someone to check it. He found that the Omen Tongfu Group had a big background, a deep background, and a long history.
The name Tongfu comes from Tongfu Bank, one of the Thirteen Banks in Guangzhou, an official merchant of the Qing Dynasty.
Guangzhou Thirteenth Bank was franchised by the Qing government as an agent for overseas trade business. It was also known as Tianzi Nanku. The founder of Tongfu Bank was Pan Shaoguang, a big businessman. It was still a big business at that time. Later, during the Opium War,
It was suspended before the outbreak.
Then there was no news for more than a hundred years.
When he was born again, Tongfu Xing was carried out by the He family and appeared on the land of Austria in the name of Tongfu Company. It was still the Republic of China. Whether there is any connection between the two may only be the people involved.
, and only the current head of Tongfu Group knows about it.
The He family is prosperous. Over the past hundred years, they have had contacts with the Portuguese, the British, and the mainland. The relationships are intricate and intricate, making them a giant.
Tongfu Group relies on this huge family to survive.
With decades, almost hundreds of years of history, no one knows how many people were involved.
Behind Tongfu Group is He Ziqun and his father Stanley Ho's family, and behind Ho Hongyun is the Ho family. He Ziqun said that cooperation was the intention of her brother He Ziyang, but Lin Xiaoguang felt that this matter may not be that simple.
Only Hua Run, Bank of China, and he knew about the small house project. How did He Ziqun know about it?
After pondering for a long time, he couldn't even think of a reason, so he gave up thinking about it, lay down on the bed, and went to sleep. In a daze, he fell asleep.
When I woke up again, it was already bright. I went outside to wash up. After I came back, just after breakfast, the train stopped in Hengyang.
Soon, we continued to drive, then we drove for a while, stopped for a while, walked and stopped, and finally arrived in Jianghan before dark. By now, more than twenty hours had passed.
The journey from Guangdong to Jianghan was just over 900 kilometers, and the train took more than 20 hours, but there was no one there.
If we were to take the expressway in future generations, it would only take 11 hours. As for the high-speed rail, it would take more than four hours, which is considered fast.
In this era, Lin Xiaoguang can tolerate everything else, but what he fears most is taking the train. The speed is too slow, soft sleepers are not available, and the environment in the carriage is poor. It is really intolerable.
Fortunately, half of the journey is over.
The two of them left the train station, took a bus, and crossed the river to Wuchang. All the foreign trade guesthouses in the foreign trade system and Jianghan University were all in Wuchang. After all, Wuchang is the provincial capital.
The train arrived at the station at seven o'clock, and they arrived at the guest house at eight o'clock. After showing the letter of introduction, the two of them checked in.
However, since we don’t have a marriage certificate, we naturally can’t live together and can only sleep in separate rooms.
I took the train all the way this day. Although it was a soft sleeper, the train was making a lot of noise and was still moving. I was not at my own home, so of course I didn’t have a good rest. Now I finally arrived at a safe place, took a shower, said good night to each other, and then went to bed at the same time.
Down.
Early the next morning, Lin Xiaoguang did not go to Jianghan University, but called Qin Chuan.
When he received the call, Qin Chuan had just gotten up and was about to go to work.
"Chuan'er, I've arrived in Jianghan, where are you?"
Qin Chuan was shocked. Isn't this guy in Xiangjiang? Why did he suddenly come to Jianghan again? He didn't say anything before he came, and only called him when he arrived. What's going on, a surprise attack?
"Are you really here? Really or not?"
"Can this be false?" Lin Xiaoguang moved away from the phone and shouted to the person next to him: "Sister, please, please speak the local Jianghan dialect to this phone, thank you!"
The eldest sister was a little confused. It took her a second or two to react and shouted into the phone: "Isn't it too early, brother? Wait for the hot dry noodles."
On the other end of the phone, Qin Chuan sighed helplessly when he heard the sinister Jianghan dialect. Are you really here?
"Where are you now?"
"I'm at the Foreign Trade Hostel, where are you? Should you come to find me, or should I come to find you?"
"Brother, I have to go to work today!"
Of course, Lin Xiaoguang didn't have to be so polite when dealing with his best friend and childhood friend. He said directly: "Brother, I also came here on leave, okay? Can't you just ask for leave?"
"Okay, okay." Qin Chuan was helpless.
After hanging up the phone, Lin Xiaoguang hummed and waited for a while before Qin Chuan caught the bus and walked all the way to the guest house. Finally, he met the two of them eating hot dry noodles at a noodle stall on the street next to them.
.
"Chuan'er, long time no see, how about a bowl?"
"I've eaten, no need." Qin Chuan waved his hand, said hello to Anyang, and then looked at him sideways, meaning why did you kidnap the girl out again?
Lin Xiaoguang tilted her head to the northwest, meaning she was going to Dunhuang.
Qin Chuan immediately understood. It turned out that he was going back to his hometown to formally meet his parents. It seemed that good things were coming soon. Congratulations, he made a gesture.
Lin Xiaoguang thought he meant you were really awesome, so he waved his hand very reservedly, "Just average, third in the world."
Qin Chuan immediately understood and shook his head. He is an adult and there is no need to be shy.
The two communicated silently for a while. After breakfast, they followed Qin Chuan onto the bus. Lin Xiaoguang asked casually: "This time I come to Jianghan, I will stay for at least three days. How many days of leave did you ask for?"
"..." Qin Chuan didn't say anything, feeling a little depressed. Why is there such a big gap between people? People take ten days off casually, and he only has half a day. They wander around the country, and he can only stay here with peace of mind.
At work, they are getting married soon, and he has never even touched the girl's hand.
Lin Xiaoguang was so good before, why is he better than him in everything now? He couldn't figure it out.
"How many days?"
"It's only half a day, just one morning. You can go play by yourself in the afternoon." Qin Chuan was autistic.
"Forget it!" Anyang pulled Lin Xiaoguang.
"Okay, just half a day." What else could Lin Xiaoguang say, so he could only agree.
Since it was only half a day, he had to make good use of it, so he remembered that Qin Chuan was from Jianghan University, so he asked: "Chuan'er, do you know a girl named Fei Yongzhe from your school?"
"Fei Yongzhe? Do you know her?" Qin Chuan suddenly became alert.
"I don't know her, but I have something to ask her about."
"What's up?"
"Her father asked me to bring her a letter and let me talk to her properly." Sitting on the bus, Lin Xiaoguang looked at the scenery on the roadside and the vaguely visible Luojia Mountain, and did not notice that his face was getting darker and darker.
The uglier it becomes.
Qin Chuan was a little disappointed, the smile on his face faded, and asked: "How did you meet her father?"
Of course, Lin Xiaoguang would not hide anything about her childhood. She immediately replied: "Her father is my boss and I am her father's assistant. Her father appreciates me very much and is very close to me. It just so happens that I am coming home this time."
, so he asked me to bring a letter from home."
After saying that, he looked at Qin Chuan with an ugly face and was a little puzzled: "What's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"
Qin Chuan forced a smile: "It's okay, I know Fei Yongzhe, I will take you to find her."
