MTL - I Became the Favorite of Big Bosses-Chapter 492 She is in Haishi!
Chapter 492 She is in the sea market!
It was already nine o'clock in the evening when I sent the doctor home.
The surroundings were dark and quiet, and there were very few pedestrians on the road. Yanyi leaned on the car door, with a cigarette **** lying on the side of his riding boots.
A faint hum could be heard carefully in the car.
Yanyi opened the passenger door and bent down to look at the little thing in the swaddle.
Such a small thing, red and wrinkled, with no eyes open.
Wei Lan has always been in poor health. Even though she tried hard to eat and take supplements, she could not make up for it. The mother's body is still so weak. It is conceivable that the situation of this little guy will not be better than that of other babies.
It’s such a fragile little one that he can say goodbye to the world with just a light poke without even needing to pinch it.
Yanyi thought so, so he did it.
He poked the little one's face lightly with his slender fingers. He was as thin as a monkey because he hadn't been able to take a sip of breast milk for a few hours since he was born, and he couldn't even cry now.
Even so, when Yan Yi's fingers touched his cheek, it seemed that he had an instinctive desire to survive. The little boy turned his head slightly, followed Yan Yi's fingers with his small mouth, and subconsciously wanted to take a sip...
Yanyi retracted his fingers like an electric shock. In one breath, his face turned from green to white, and from white to black. It was so strange.
He stood beside the car for a long time, and finally picked up the swaddling clothes and held it high to his chest.
“Your mother loves you very much.”
“Hurt you and she will hate me.”
“I won’t hurt you.”
“But, can I live...”
“Whether you can hold on to the place depends on your own luck, huh?”

The breeze is blowing slowly, and the bamboo shadows are mottled and swaying. I don't know whether it is a window or a door, but there is a slight "creeping" sound when it shakes.
Those voices were very familiar. Gu Chao had heard them for more than twenty years, but he had never heard them again since he left Province H.
My body was also warm, as if it was enveloped by the sun.
So long time no see…
Mingming…
It’s less than a year, but it seems like a lifetime ago.
Gu Chao subconsciously calmed down and took a deep breath. Suddenly, someone tapped him on the shoulder, "Brother Chao, I made an agreement with Jiang Lihua and Li Sangsang. I will be responsible for catching small fish and shrimps! You can do two things for me." A small basket for catching fish, okay? Okay?"
Gu Chao's breath was stagnant, and he suddenly opened his eyes and looked to his side.
He was sitting on the threshold of the kitchen in the backyard, with the girl beside him.
The girl who has been engraved in his heart for a long time.
“囡囡…”
Gu Chao's eyes were red and his voice was choked with sobs, but the girl didn't seem to notice anything strange about him. She put her elbows in front of her knees, held her chin with her two slender white hands, and looked sideways with her eyebrows crooked in a smile. He said, "The top of the basket should be smaller, and then use a bamboo skewer to make a tapered opening... like this..."
The girl had bright and white teeth, and her little hands were gesturing on her chest. After a while, her smiling eyes turned back again, and she asked coquettishly: "That's it, okay? Brother Chao!"
Is it a dream?
This is the first time in a long time that I have dreamed of her...
He thought that she was complaining about him, his late return, and his broken promise, so she refused to let him even look at her in his dream.
Gu Chao's eyes were hot, and his emotions had been accumulated for a long time, making him eager to hold the person in his arms.
He missed her so much.
But before Gu Chao made any move, the screen jumped again.
Still the same place, the same posture, the only difference is that his perspective changed from looking sideways in the direction of the young girl to looking down in the direction of his hands...
In his hands, he was busy with a short blade and bamboo strips.
His left shoulder is a little heavy, and he looks sideways.
The girl who had been taking a nap on his shoulder suddenly opened her eyes, her eyes desperate and stunned.
She held his arm tightly, trembling all over and feeling at a loss, "Look for me, look for me...Look for me! I, I'm at the sea..."
Before the words could be finished, there was a thunderous explosion, the young girl's eyes slowly closed, and her body fell softly to one side.
As if to convey some kind of message, the task was completed, the dream gradually faded, and the girl's body that fell to one side was like a broken lens, cracked into countless pieces and quickly dispersed in the air.
“Nannan, Wei Lan, Wei Lan!”
Thick curtains blocked out the noise on the street. On the soft bed, the man's big hands eagerly grabbed something in the air. The next second, he suddenly opened his eyes and suddenly turned over and sat up.
"Huh...huh..." Gu Chao's chest heaved violently and he was breathing heavily. The white vest on his body was soaked with sweat. A large drop of beans slipped from his forehead and seeped into the vest along his chin and neck.
"Wei Lan..." Gu Chao calmed his breathing and looked down at his empty hands.
Even in the dream, he didn't catch her.
The muscles all over his body were tense, Gu Chao's eyes were bloodshot, and he grabbed his hair with two big hands in pain, then his body fell backwards and he fell heavily back on the bed.
His eyes were staring blankly at the ceiling, filled with melancholy and pain, which shone brightly and could not even be hidden.
Suddenly, as if he thought of something, Gu Chao's deep eyes widened suddenly. He jumped up from the bed the next second, hurriedly put on his pants, picked up his jacket, opened the door, and ran out.
“Hai, in the sea...haishi!”
In the corridor of the hotel, Gu Chao stumbled towards the stairs. He bumped into a curly blonde **** the way. The woman recognized Gu Chao and immediately restrained her temper and asked anxiously: "Where are you going? Mr.GU!"
A year ago, Gu Chao and Xie Jinghong teamed up to join the foreigners and started an export blanket and clothing business. Although it was stable, foreigners had a big appetite and received a lot of kickbacks.
Once a batch of goods is delivered, let alone the introduction of foreign exchange, the money recovered will not even be enough to support the workers.
Gu Chao was looking for another way out, and he went to Hong Kong Island after many twists and turns. Maybe the path he took at the beginning was not glorious, but at least he is basically on the right track now.
Nathan Road is one of the large commercial streets on Hong Kong Island. Tomorrow, there will be a US$3 million trade deal to be signed here.
Compared with the business alliances in the industry, the amount of this business is nothing, but for individuals such as Gu Chao and Xie Jinghong, it is already the largest transaction so far.
This opportunity is not something ordinary people can get at will. Gu Chao also knows how important the matter is and how rare the opportunity is, but he can't wait any longer!
Hai Shi!
In the sea market!
He promised her that he would find her, but he was slack for so long...
This time, he must catch it, hold it tight!
Wei Lan, Nannan, I’m coming.

During this period, on the other side, the Seventh Brigade of the Red Flag Commune.
For nine to ten consecutive months, Youlan received a remittance from Haishi every month. You Lan has been waiting for her brother's whereabouts. However, when she saw the name "Xie Jinghong" signed on the remittance slip for the tenth time, her intuition told her that next time, next month, it would be the same name.
She can't wait any longer.
There will be fifty yuan in the remittance slip every month, part of which is for Gu Yang and his wife, and part of which is in You Lan's hands.
Youlan knew that was what his brother meant.
This person named Xie will listen to his brother's instructions and do things, so he must know where his brother is.
Youlan made up her mind, knowing that her cousin and sister-in-law would not agree to her traveling far away, so she did not say anything about it. She just secretly packed the small parcel and took advantage of one afternoon when Fangxia took Sister Han and Brother Shao to take a nap. After leaving a note, he left the house.
Youlan was just twelve years old at that time and had never been to the county town a few times. He made up his mind to go to a place so far away from Haishi, but he still felt a little panicked and scared.
Running all the way out of the yard, she slowly stopped in the alley.
You Lan thought: Would Ji Fengyao be willing to go with her?
Thinking about it, she turned around and walked toward Ji's house on the outskirts of the village.
This year the brigade is still planting sunflower seeds, but because the land has been allocated to individuals, the state has to rent and requisition it if it wants to use it. There are not many people in the village who are willing, so the planting area is far less than before.
The ancestors and grandsons of the Ji family settled in the brigade and were allotted two acres of land. In addition to going out to observe the sunflower seed fields, Ji Huaiyuan would stay in his yard to repair the fields after taking care of his own land.
At this time, when it was time to go to the field in the afternoon, You Lan rushed outside the Ji family courtyard and saw the gray-haired Ji Huaiyuan sitting on a pony in the courtyard, chopping firewood.
The eleven or twelve-year-old girl decides whether she is big or small. It is the time when she is young and immature.
As soon as Youlan stood still, Ji Huaiyuan saw her and said, "Youlan, come in and sit for a while. Let's get some sun outside!"
"Feng Yao is taking a nap at noon. You come in first to rest for a while, and I'll call him..." Ji Huaiyuan said with a kind smile, then put down the hammer and stood up to go into the house.
You Lan quickly shook her head, "No, no need! Grandpa Ji!"
"I, I was just passing by!" Youlan hid the package behind her and stepped back as she spoke. After taking a few steps back, she turned around and ran away.
You can’t bring Ji Fengyao with you!
Although Ji Fengyao is a little taller than her, he is even younger than her!
and…
Grandpa Ji is getting old and cannot live without Fengyao.
She can't be so selfish!
"Hey, this kid..." Looking at Youlan's retreating back, Ji Huaiyuan smiled and shook his head.
Youlan closed her eyes forcefully, rushed out of the alley, carried the package and stood on the outskirts of the village, looking back for a long time, and finally ran out along the avenue without hesitation.
Youlan went to the county town very few times and didn't know the road at all. She basically just asked questions while walking. It was still the same when going to a place as far away as Haishi.
After getting off the bus, there was another series of inquiries, and finally we arrived at the entrance of the foreign bank, which took four days.
At that time, Youlan's hair was disheveled and one of her left shoes had slipped away. She was dirty and stood at the door of the foreign store, quietly looking inside.
Foreign banks are no longer what they used to be. They have already changed their appearance. Most of the companies they welcome are famous merchants from the Maritime Merchant Alliance, and then foreigners.
You Lan is dressed like a little beggar, which is the most taboo thing for foreigners. When young men from foreign companies see You Lan, they are afraid that she will make the foreign bosses unhappy, so they will chase her away.
Just then Xie Jinghong came down from the second floor and saw this scene.
Xie Jinghong lifted up the hem of his gown and went downstairs. "That child is probably a miserable person. I just gave her two plates of snacks to kill her. What's the hurry?"
In this year, Xie Jinghong has grown taller, his hair is shaved, and he is still wearing a light green gown.
His eyebrows are slender and fine-tuned, and his lips are bright red, which makes him look extremely handsome. Set off by this fresh color, he is half elegant and half modest. Even though he is a handsome man, he also looks like a frail scholar.
The little girl at the door has a pair of black and translucent deer eyes, with long and curled eyelashes. She looks embarrassed. Her face is not only surprised, but also full of fear...
At that time we met for the first time, You Lan was twelve and Xie Jinghong was fourteen.
You Lan thought that Ji Fengyao was already a boy and a girl, and looked the best, but he never expected that when he came out of Haishi, he would see someone better than Ji Fengyao...
You Lan was dazed, and Xie Jinghong narrowed his eyes and gave her a friendly smile. He waved his knife-like hand to one side, leading the foreign boss beside him to go to the counter.
Persimmons should be picked softly, and speaking naturally should be done to someone who is easy to talk to.
You Lan stepped into the foreign bank and said hurriedly: "I, I want to ask, is there anyone named Xie Jinghong here?"
Everyone in the hall turned their attention. Youlan was like a frightened deer. He drew back his feet and retreated out of the door.
You Lan hugged the small package nervously, like a little elk that strayed into a human chassis, "I, I'm looking for Xie, Xie Jinghong, boss Xie has something to do!"
Someone in the hall laughed out loud when they heard "Puch", which made You Lan feel even more embarrassed.
She didn’t know what she had done wrong or something. Why were these people laughing?
Xie Jinghong raised his delicate eyebrows slightly, whispered to the foreign boss beside him, and then asked someone to lead him to the counter, and then walked towards the door.
As he approached, Youlan backed away cautiously while holding the package.
Brother once said that you can’t judge people by their appearance alone, let alone define a person’s good or evil based on his first impression.
A small girl, as innocent as a little lamb, but not too stupid.
Xie Jinghong’s eyes flashed, the corners of his mouth curled up even more, and he was inexplicably teasing, “I’m Xie Jinghong, what’s the matter with you?”
His thin lips curled into a friendly smile, and his voice was even more like a smile, warming people's hearts.
"Huh?" Youlan paused, and only then did she realize why those people had laughed at her just now.
Isn’t it an act to make people laugh if you are looking for someone in front of the person involved?
You Lan never thought that Xie Jinghong would be an old man, but she also never thought that he was a young man not much older than her.
She thought that Xie Jinghong was at least the same age as sister and brother Lan. Otherwise, how could he accomplish so many things? Can you remit that much money?
Youlan pursed her lips and was stunned for a moment before asking: "My name is Gu Youlan, and my brother is Gu Chao. I came here to ask... do you know the whereabouts of my brother?"
After speaking, he looked at Xie Jinghong expectantly.
Youlan pinned all her hopes here. If even Xie Jinghong didn't know where her brother was, then she really shouldn't look for him next.
"Taking care of the left and right, the orchid of the orchid?" Xie Jinghong asked rhetorically without answering.
You Lan nodded truthfully.
Xie Jinghong suddenly smiled, glanced up and down at You Lan's embarrassed figure, and made a gesture of invitation with one side of his body towards the stairs on the second floor, "It's not convenient to talk here, let's go upstairs to talk."
You Lan hesitated for a moment, and finally chose to go upstairs with Xie Jinghong.
Xie Jinghong did not inform You Lan of Gu Chao's news immediately, but led You Lan to his room.
since the people who were speaking could not see it, so I took it out and said it separately.”
A reply to those who give negative scores to each platform and say less about updates: The author has never deliberately been licentious, nor has he abused others just for the sake of abusing them!
Although there is only one chapter per day, it is the same number of words as others’ four chapters! Authors need inspiration to create. Even if they have an outline and chapters, they cannot write the entire book in one day! In addition, I hope the author will make more updates, please encourage me!
The author is also a human being. If his works are always given negative marks, he will also lose his passion! Real name grievance! 】
