One hundred and forty-four chapters, east and west
Chapter 144, walking around
In this village with only one road into the mountains, I was accidentally bumped into by Xie Xiaoxian, and there was no place to hide. Nine times out of ten, the identity of "You Fang" would be exposed when they met. If someone is interested in following this clue to investigate, they will
It is discovered that he is just a small gangster who once sold CDs on the Zhongguancun Station Street. The identity of the Feng Shui wizard who returned from overseas will be exposed immediately.
These are minor problems. The most important thing is that the cozy little home he settled in Guangzhou is likely to be exposed. To be honest, he lived in that rented house very comfortably and was a little reluctant to leave. Subconsciously, he regarded it as a wandering place.
It was a resting place after the Jianghu. You didn't want that small nest to be discovered by fellow Jianghu, which might force him to leave.
On the other hand, he infiltrated the archaeological team led by Chi Muduo under the pseudonym "Xu Kai" and appeared in this sensitive place at this sensitive time. Xie Xiaoxian could not help but be suspicious. If he followed the clues of Chi Muduo and You Chengyuan, it is very likely that
His hometown Baimayi was found. Based on his understanding of this policewoman, it would be strange not to check her. Even the identity of "You Fang" was not spared.
Alas, let’s leave quickly! If the situation were different, You Fang would be very willing to help Xie Xiaoxian investigate the case, but not now.
Although we didn't get along for too long, we experienced a lot of twists and turns together. We have feelings for each other, and we were very reluctant to say goodbye when we parted. Everyone said words of cherishment and blessings, and some team members who didn't know the truth were reminded of their "sacrifice" here.
Zhu Dayou couldn't help but shed tears. The scene was so touching that even Xiang Yinghua was moved.
You Fang saw that the atmosphere was not right, so he quickly tried to stop it, stretched out his hand and said to Chi Muduo: "Director Chi, since you are leaving tomorrow, please settle the account between me and Xiang Yinghua."
Xiang Yinghua next to him was stunned: "What account?"
You Fang explained: "The wages! This time it's 80 yuan a day for a month. Last time it was 60 yuan a day for ten days. In total, we each have 3,000 yuan. You forgot to collect it when you left last time. Fortunately
It’s back again.”
Xiang Yinghua whispered: "Do you still need this money?"
You Fang glared: "You work based on your ability, and you get the income from your labor, why don't you want it? Don't be afraid of hurting your feelings when talking about money! Look at those migrant workers who dig holes and pay fifty a day. If you don't pay, who will do it? Are you?
Have you never gone out to work?"
Xiang Yinghua looked a little embarrassed and whispered: "I really don't have one."
Chi Muduo smiled and said: "Of course the account must be settled. After dinner, come back to the village with me and sign for the money at the guest house."
…
After breakfast the next day, You Fang drove Xiang Yinghua's car on the road. Xiang Yinghua didn't have much luggage, and the clothes and daily necessities were mainly the ones You Chengyuan bought for her last time. And You Fang had two
A travel bag, one of which was newly purchased, contains various crystal stones that were recently collected.
At this time, you can see the "advantage" of You Fanghui's life of not wasting. When he went out this time, he didn't expect to be delayed in a mountain village for such a long time. He only brought a change of underwear and only the jacket he was wearing.
piece. When I left Feiju Village today, I was wearing the same new clothes from inside to outside that I had used when I was hosting the grand formation in Songhe Valley. Of course, this set of clothes was given to him as a gift. Who can ask for it back? It fits perfectly.
He is also quite handsome, with a good appearance and worthy of the car he drives.
When Xiang Yinghua saw him dressed like this, he always felt very friendly for some reason.
She and You Fang went to Guangzhou on a temporary basis, but it was not without reason. The "internal rectification" in Songhe Valley was not over yet, and she still didn't want to go back. On the other hand, she happened to go to Guangzhou to visit Zhang Xi and thank her in person. Last year, Zuo Hu
After his disappearance, Xiang Jia asked colleagues from all over the world to search for him, and Zhang Xi from Guangdong and Guangxi also helped.
She made a few calls on the way, probably to say hello to her family and arrange her itinerary. The next morning, Xiang Yinghua received a message, and then gave You Fang a satellite navigation coordinates, and politely asked him to go directly to Guangzhou when he arrived.
When you drive the car to that place, of course the car has an electronic map navigation system.
Although the trip from Feiju Village to Guangzhou was not slow, it still took more than a day. The most time-consuming thing was the road out of the mountain. On the way, I found a hotel in Chenzhou to rest for the night. I arrived in Guangzhou at around noon the next day.
.
You Fang felt something was wrong on the way. According to the satellite map, the destination was in the Baiyun Mountain Scenic Area. Excellent Feng Shui masters are like living maps, let alone a master like You Fang who can grasp the heart? Arriving at the outskirts of Guangzhou
Turning directly to the north bank of Luhu Lake, as expected, Xiang Yinghua's destination was the villa where Niu Ranmiao once lived.
This is what Xiang Yinghua contacted his family on the way. He is really a proud son of Songhe Valley. The place he chose to stay is great! If the tourists are allowed to choose, without considering the price factor, they will only choose based on the location.
In terms of climate and environment, I would also think of this place. But living here would be too luxurious, and Xiang Yinghua really didn't consider the factor of money.
In terms of wealth and power, no matter how rich Xiang Yinghua is, there is no way he can compare with Mr. Niu. However, this girl does not care about money very much. Money is just for use. She can live as long as she can afford it. This is different from the luxurious habits of ordinary wealthy playboys.
Still two concepts.
The car stopped in front of the villa. Before You Fang got out of the car and opened the door, Xiang Yinghua got out by himself. Judging from this detail, he was not a full-time driver. You Fang parked the car and heard a surprise as soon as he got off the car.
Voice: "Mr. Rand, why is it you?" He looked up and saw an acquaintance. Standing in front of him was Qi Ruoxue's assistant Wu Linlin.
Wu Linlin was overjoyed when she saw You Fang. When they broke up last time, she was the one who sent him to the train station. You Fang gave her a hand-woven Staring Double Bat Knot. She gave You Fang a hug and a kiss on the cheek.
This time, Wu Linlin opened her arms as soon as they met. You Fang had no choice but to give him a polite hug. Fortunately, she didn't kiss him again.
Xiang Yinghua on the side asked in surprise: "Mr. Rand, do you know him?"
You Fang let go of his hand and explained with a smile: "This is Assistant Wu from Hengming Group, Miss Wu Linlin. We met at Hongbin Industrial Park. What a coincidence. The villa you settled in, if I remember correctly, should be
Hengming Group’s industry.”
Wu Linlin was also surprised: "Mr. Rand, you are friends with Miss Xiang and came here with her? No wonder you live here. It is difficult to find a place with such a good environment in Guangzhou."
You Fang couldn't explain too much, so he could only say with a smile: "Miss Xiang is my friend, and I happened to stop by when I came to Guangzhou this time... Don't stand here, come in quickly, I really didn't expect it.
I met Miss Wu here."
There were service staff helping to carry the luggage. They carried very few things with them. There were two sets of bedrooms prepared in the villa. The waiter asked which room the luggage should be sent to? Xiang Yinghua explained to You Fang: "Lan
Since Mr. De also has business in Guangzhou, he might as well settle here temporarily."
Even the place for him to stay has been arranged. This is also a due respect for "seniors" and is very thoughtful. In fact, even if Xiang Yinghua doesn't arrange it, Zhang Xi will arrange it. It's hard for You Fang to explain that he is not at all
"Melande", who had returned from overseas, had already rented a house in a residential area of Guangzhou and said nothing.
This villa is a property of the Hengming Group. It often receives upper-class people and distinguished guests. It is also rented out as a whole when it is idle. The Xiang family contacted this place for Xiang Yinghua to settle down. Xiang Yinghua’s father, Xiang Zuohu, is a Jiangxi Song villa.
The chairman of the board of directors of He Mining is also a director and important shareholder of Songhe Mining. This information can be found.
Someone wanted to rent this villa, and Qi Ruoxue also asked about the matter. Of course, it was impossible to handle it personally, but he sent his assistant over to show his courtesy. When he contacted Xiang Jia, they only agreed that the rental period would be one month.
, the property management department of Hengming Group quoted a rough price and paid when checking in. Wu Linlin also took care of these matters.
After entering the villa and looking at the room and the facilities upstairs and downstairs, there was nothing dissatisfied. Wu Linlin was still very excited and chatted endlessly with You Fang. As they chatted, You Fang started talking to her about the price, and she unconsciously brought up the price.
Out of the old habit of practicing stalls in Panjiayuan, there aren’t many other topics to talk about anyway.
The most basic rental fee for this villa is 240,000 per month, which includes a series of basic services. As for other services, such as car use, laundry, lunch and dinner, hosting banquets, holding parties, and providing consumer entertainment, etc.
The fee will be calculated separately. The tourist will ask Xiang Yinghua what additional services he needs to provide, which service personnel will be arranged, and then negotiate the price with Wu Linlin.
For a one-month rental, the tour operator talked about the basic fee as high as 180,000 yuan. Wu Linlin was quite cooperative and told him that this was an internal friendly price and the lowest price within her scope of authority. Xiang Yinghua did not want too many
As for the service staff, there is only one foreman manager, two chefs, two room attendants, and two security guards left inside and outside the villa.
According to Xiang Yinghua, she doesn't even need to keep security guards. Does she use these people for "protection"? You Fang decided to keep the security guards. The role of security guards is to avoid trouble and scare people. Could it be that if someone comes in, why?
Do you want Miss Xiang, the number one expert in Songhe Valley, to catch the thief personally? Anyway, it is provided for free.
In addition to the breakfast on the menu, lunch and dinner are all charged separately. If you have special requirements beyond the menu, you need to call a day in advance to prepare ingredients or send another chef. If you don’t want to drive, you can call a driver or send a car.
, in short everything is very convenient.
Xiang Yinghua thanked him very much. With her temperament, she naturally wouldn't deal with the details of these mundane things. She just asked and paid when the time came. You Fang helped her negotiate the price and arrange the chores. She was not a natural lover either.
For wasteful people, it is certainly not a bad thing to save money and worry.
The rent is paid in one lump sum, and additional service fees will be paid when the rent is returned. Eighteen hundred thousand is not a small sum. It is most convenient to write a check or transfer money directly through the bank. However, Xiang Yinghua chose to swipe his card. You can swipe it in the villa, so this way
After a large purchase was made, the bank's customer service phone number came shortly after to confirm with Xiang Yinghua whether he had just made a large purchase?
After everything was done, it was time to have lunch. Xiang Yinghua was very polite. Seeing that Wu Linlin and You Fang were meeting old friends, he politely invited her to have lunch with her. Anyway, the ready-made chefs and menus in the villa were ready.
Wu Linlin didn't refuse too much and stayed to eat together. During the dinner, she was very interested in the relationship between You Fang and Xiang Yinghua. She asked insinuatingly for a long time, but she didn't find out the reason.
After Wu Linlin left, she smiled at Yinghua and asked, "Mr. Rand, is this Miss Wu not familiar with you?"
You Fang smiled and replied: "We are not very familiar, but we met in Hongbin Industrial Park last time. You must have heard about my visit to Hongbin. Taoist priest Qianbei was also there at that time.
.”
I made a call to Zhang Xi’s office in the afternoon, but learned that Mr. Zhang had gone abroad again and would not be back for a few days. You Fang did not say that he had arrived in Guangzhou, only that his name was Mei Lande and that he would visit after Mr. Zhang came back.
After Xiang Yinghua learned about it, he decided to rest here for a few days. Anyway, he had nothing else to do and was not in a hurry.
You Fang also planned to stay here for two days and then quietly go back to his home after meeting Zhang Xi to save the trouble of going back and forth. He was a little emotional. He didn't expect that he would live here one day. Enjoy it. Anyway
Xiang Yinghua's money has been paid, and if he doesn't live there, he won't live in vain. Xiang Yinghua lives on the third floor, and he lives on the second floor, so there is no inconvenience.
But You Fang thought of another thing. Wu Linlin was Qi Ruoxue's assistant. He still lived here when he returned to Guangzhou. It was impossible for Wu Linlin not to tell Qi Ruoxue after he returned. He clearly remembered what Qi Ruoxue said.
We are all unmarried adult men and women. We indulge ourselves occasionally and hope not to cause harm to each other. The best way is to just pretend it never happened. I believe you and I can do that."
If this was said by a man, it would be hurtful, but it was said by a woman. Can it really be done? If they never meet again, maybe it can be done, but it happened after all. You Fang was thinking, Qi Ruoxue listened
Will he find an excuse to come when he hears the news? He can't tell whether he wants to see you again or not. In short, it might be very embarrassing.
…
Qi Ruoxue was restless all afternoon, as if she had a little white rabbit jumping around in her chest. After Wu Linlin came back today, she excitedly reported to her: She met Mr. Rand at Baiyun Villa, and it turned out that it was him and
A female companion rented the villa for a month. Miss Xiang was so beautiful and elegant. She looked like a lady at first glance.
They even invited her to dinner. She thought they were a couple, but the conversation at the dinner table didn't feel like it. Anyway, they didn't live in the same room. One lived on the second floor and the other lived on the third floor. Alas, I didn't know Rand either.
Does Mr. Xiang have a girlfriend? But it seems that Miss Xiang is a good match for him. If they are not a couple, I might be able to pursue Mr. Rand.
As soon as Wu Linlin finished speaking, she was interrupted by Qi Ruoxue: "You didn't have a drink at noon? Go back to work!"
After that, throughout the afternoon, Qi Ruoxue was always a little distracted. She took the swallow-tailed double-crystal fragrant flower stone from behind and looked at it blankly for a long time. She always carried this crystal with her and put it behind her when she went to work.
In the file cabinet, put it on the bedside table when sleeping, and put it in the bag with you when going out.
Strange to say, this thing seems to really beautify the skin. In the past two months, Qi Ruoxue feels that her complexion is getting better and better. Her skin feels tender and moisturized, which is better than the skin rejuvenation and care effects in beauty salons. She doesn’t know why.
Psychological effect or other reasons?
After watching for a long time, she suddenly made a call to the property management department, confirming the identity of Xiang Yinghua who rented the villa, and then verified who had contacted her before. The department manager who answered the phone was surprised and couldn't figure out why.
Did the Board of Directors specifically ask about this matter?
After putting down the phone, Qi Ruoxue could not help but have some thoughts. It seemed that Xiang Yinghua was very rich and had a very good family background. Based on her earlier impression of "Melander", she would inevitably suspect that the "charlatan" was playing tricks.
She exposed the gangster's tactics and tried to defraud him of money and sex. But after that crazy night, her impression of him changed subtly.
Mr. Niu's judgment of people is unmistakable. Melander should have been born in the world of martial arts, but it's not as unbearable as she imagined. Don't forget, Mr. Niu also started his career in the world of martial arts.
After learning about what he was doing in Hongbin Industrial Park, and later hearing the recording between him and the female reporter, Qi Ruoxue had come back to her senses.
The undated check and the two handwritten letters were still in her drawer. He didn't accept the money. The reason stated in the letter was very simple - he didn't want to make any money. What kind of reason could this be? At least he could read it.
Come out, this person has no intention of defrauding money and sex, even though that night...
Recalling that night, Qi Ruoxue couldn't help but blush, her breathing became uneven, and she subconsciously clenched her legs while sitting there. She had a misunderstanding, thinking that Xiang Yinghua lived in Baiyun Villa and must be Melander.
It's an idea, otherwise how could it be such a coincidence?
What did he mean? Could it be that what he said that day was too hurtful? So he wanted to come back with a better female companion to demonstrate to her. Many men have this mentality, which just shows that he really cares.
There were still things to deal with in the evening, so Qi Ruoxue left Hengming Building before get off work time. She wanted to go home and change clothes, but inexplicably thought to herself: "There is no need to see him again! I made it clear last time, everything Just pretend it didn't happen. Where does he live, who is he traveling with, and what does it have to do with me?...Yes, it has nothing to do with me. Why bother to embarrass each other when we meet? He didn't come to me specially, so why should I? Go find him?"
With this thought in her mind, she suddenly came to her senses after driving halfway. She actually did not go home, but went straight to Baiyun Mountain. She had already left the city and could see Luhu Lake in front. There was no way to turn around here, so she simply continued on.
As he walked forward, he suddenly changed his mind and thought to himself: "Go ahead. Even if you just say hello to the company's customers, they have rented a villa. Maybe Hengming Group will have business dealings with Songhe Mining in the future."
Well, there are potential business opportunities, so it’s normal to visit.”
Only then did she realize that she wanted to see not only Melander, but also Miss Xiang Yinghua. She wanted to see what kind of person she was? Was she as outstanding as Wu Linlin described, and was she as good as Meilander?
What is Rand's relationship? Although she didn't want to care on the surface, deep down she really wanted to know.
