MTL - I Became the Favorite of Big Bosses-Chapter 494 What she wants to see
Chapter 494 What she wants to see
The three of them sat down in Xie Jinghong's room on the second floor.
Gu Chao looked around calmly. The originally simple and simple room had a girlish atmosphere. There were piles of knickknacks on the table, and an unknown flower was inserted into a small bottle at the corner.
Once at the Gu family, Wei Lan also liked this. You Lan always got a bit of praise when she was by her side.
In fact, after You Lan came to Haishi, Xie Jinghong vacated his room for her, and he moved to the attic.
Logically speaking, even if we are talking about things, we should not be in a girl's room. However, the attic space is narrow, so Xie Jinghong can go in, but it is really difficult for Gu Chao to go in.
Gu Chao glanced at You Lan, who had a red nose beside him, and he probably knew what was going on.
It's just that the matter is urgent and it's not the right time to talk about anything else.
Looking at his Adam's apple, his jawline was tense and trembling slightly, "Wei Lan..."
“Brother, Sister Lan is not dead!”
"What did you say?"
Almost at the same time as Gu Chao spoke, You Lan also spoke at the same time.
Gu Chao's breath was stagnant, and he turned his head and looked at You Lan in surprise, "You, what do you know?"
You Lan's eyes turned red all of a sudden, and she told Gu Chao everything she had seen in the county town before Fang Xia.
But at that time, Fangxia rushed home. In such an anxious situation, she couldn't reveal anything except the news that she saw Wei Lan and Yanyi taking Wei Lan away.
Including, Wei Lan looked confused and did not recognize her.
Fang Xia only revealed so much. What You Lan told Gu Chao certainly couldn't be more.
But for Gu Chao, it was enough.
“Sure enough…”
“I know, I know.”
“She is in Haishi, she is in Haishi!”
Gu Chao's eyes were sore and he cried with joy. Suddenly, he raised his head and laughed again.
He rushed back from Hong Kong Island just because of the dream that reminded him of his past.
Wei Lan was flustered, panicked, and behaved in various ways that were different from ordinary people.
She told him to look for her, don’t give up, and must look for her...
Gu Chao believed in his heart that something was possible, but he was not 100% sure that it was true.
But now Youlan's words made him regain his faith.
Xie Jinghong frowned slightly, "That man named Yanyi took away Sister Wei Lan, but in a train station, there are so many trains coming and going every day, and they don't know exactly which train they got on. Why are you like that?" Confirm, she is in Haishi?"
Xie Jinghong could not understand the firmness in Gu Chao's words.
"Brother Xie..." You Lan said, looking at Xie Jinghong and then back at her brother, "Brother..."
Gu Chao nodded and pursed his lips slightly, "She told me."
"Her? Did she tell you?" Xie Jinghong laughed angrily at him, pursed his red lips and asked with a weird smile, "How did I tell you? In a dream?"
It’s a dream.
Gu Chao lowered his head without explaining.
No matter how you explain it, others cannot understand it.
Because, Wei Lan once told him that "he" is the person in the story.
Gu Chao rubbed his face. Under the messy broken hair, his strong face was exhausted, but his deep eyes were extremely clear.
He tapped the table with his index finger and reminded: "Now is not the time to talk about this. Send me people immediately, find Wei Lan, and a man named Yanyi."
Recalling the past heavy situation, Gu Chao's face suddenly turned cold.
Previously, he only changed to be so harsh and gloomy because Yanyi could not accept the reality.
Looking back now, I can actually infer clues from Yanyi's words and deeds at that time.
Under the circumstances at that time, Yanyi showed such a strong possessiveness that whenever he met Gu Chao, he would warn and remind Gu Chao.
Gu Chao did not protect Wei Lan well, so he does not deserve to be involved with Wei Lan.
Wei Lan, probably at that time, was already in Yanyi's hands, right?
There is a saying that is true, the more people are afraid of something, the more they will emphasize it.
Yanyi tried his best to clear the relationship between Gu Chao and Wei Lan, perhaps because he was afraid that Gu Chao would take Wei Lan away from him.
Gu Chao had a photo of Wei Lan and gave a copy to Xie Jinghong when he first met him.
He believed more than Xie Jinghong, and also believed that there was strength in numbers. If one more person was searching, there would be more hope.
During the time on Hong Kong Island, Gu Chao was not able to search for it himself, but he never gave up. Xie Jinghong was instructed by him, and the search never stopped.
Gu Chao roughly described the appearance and characteristics of Yanyi, and Xie Jinghong wrote them down one by one.
It seemed that everyone had a plan. Xie Jinghong suddenly turned his head and looked at You Lan, "Your brother has just settled down. He must be tired and thirsty. You go make a pot of tea, and then ask Brother Hu behind you to go to the state-owned hotel. I want two portions of noodles and shrimp dumplings each, a large portion."
Youlan hesitated, biting her lip and exiting the room when she saw her brother nodding at her.
The door opens and closes, the air in the room is smooth, a breeze flows into the house, and the simple wind chime hanging in the corner of the window makes a clear "ding dong ding dong" sound.
Gu Chaoying frowned slightly, pursed his lips into a straight line, and looked at Xie Jinghong, waiting for his next speech.
If it’s not something important, I won’t deliberately open the right orchid.
Xie Jinghong silently sorted out the knick-knacks that You Lan had piled up on the table. He was immersed in it for a long time. He raised his eyebrows and smiled at Gu Chao. "After this matter is arranged, what are you going to do on Hong Kong Island?"
His smile is cute, his attitude is unbelievably kind and friendly, but his words are sharp and to the point.
“Those foreigners look dull, but are actually suspicious and vigilant. You can’t expect a small body like me to replace you?”
Gu Chao was silent and leaned on the back of his chair tiredly, "You can't make enough money."
“In this world, money is not the most important thing.”
“When you meet that person in the future, you will understand.”
Money can improve life and buy what you want, but it is not a panacea and cannot buy everything.
Wei Lan is so resistant to Yanyi, and following Yanyi now must not be what she wants. Something must have happened during this period.
When he thought of Wei Lan's frightened expression when he was oppressed by Yan Yi, Gu Chao's heart ached terribly.
He wanted to reunite with her.
I want to find her as soon as possible!
"What we are talking about now is not about money." Xie Jinghong lowered his eyebrows, "It is about foreign exchange."
After a while, he raised his head and looked at Gu Chao again, "One year is not long or short, but how many people can achieve such results in such a short period of time?"
Gu Chao's face became darker and colder. Others might be afraid, but Xie Jinghong was not someone else, and he was not afraid. “We have paid so much, do we really want to give up at the last minute and fall short of the results?”
"Nothing is more important than her." Gu Chao shook his head and warned stubbornly, "Don't try to influence me with your opinions."
“Ha…” Xie Jinghong was amused by his words. He tapped his fist on the table and burst into tears.
Just for a moment, he wiped away the physiological tears from the corner of his eyes, narrowed his starry eyes to hide the light, "It's never me who can control you, it's Wei Lan."
The breath around Gu Chao's body sank, and Xie Jinghong continued to say casually: "She expects you to bring in foreign exchange and serve the country. If she were here now, do you think this is what she would like to see?"
Although Xie Jinghong is young, he has been with old James for so many years and has a very clear view of many things.
He can understand Gu Chao's excessive reaction, but he is more concerned about long-term development.
Although they are now in contact with Hong Kong Island, the export route is not glorious. They need to be recognized to maximize their business.
At that time, money, foreign exchange, everything will be available, and the country will be rich.
Only by becoming rich can we suppress those blond-haired, hook-nosed monsters.
Xie Jinghong is not that eager to get much money.
The family experiences in his childhood made Xie Jinghong hate foreigners from the bottom of his heart, but he was not strong enough yet.
If he was strong enough, he wouldn't be so coy with those foreigners now.
Xie Jinghong's words put Gu Chao in a dilemma.
Gu Chao desperately wanted to find Wei Lan, but he also knew in his heart that this was what Wei Lan wanted to do all along.
The girl seemed squeamish and could not bear the slightest hardship, but all her calculations were for the sake of others and the country.
Gu Chao does not have any lofty ideals. His dream is to give Wei Lan good, better, and the best. To this end, he does not mind whether the means he uses are glorious or not.
He is like this, he only wants Wei Lan’s good.
Other people, or countries, are not within his scope of consideration.
But, that is what Wei Lan wants to do and see.
Gu Chao lowered his eyes, feeling in a dilemma, unable to make a choice.
Xie Jinghong noticed his looseness and continued: "You can handle the matter on Hong Kong Island with peace of mind. I will handle it here."
“If you don’t trust me, always worry about your sister.”
Youlan recognized Wei Lan and had seen Yanyi.
Gu Chao frowned and thought for a moment, then made a decision in his heart, and told Xie Jinghong with a heavy and depressed face, "People still need to go to the capital city, don't forget."
Xie Jinghong smiled lightly: "We send people there in the middle of every month, with lots of money and things."
Xie Jinghong knew that Gu Chao was indebted and guilty to the Wei family, so he carefully selected the things he sent there, but every time he sent them, the final result was inevitable.
More than ten times, without any exception.
Gu Chao probably knew about it, so he didn’t ask in depth.
Rubbing his face, Gu Chao suddenly stood up and walked out.
Less than two hours after landing in Haishi, now I have to return to Hong Kong Island frequently.
When I was going out, I bumped into Youlan coming back.
When You Lan learned that Gu Chao was leaving again, her tears that had just stopped burst out again. She recalled the last experience of trying to stay. This time, she couldn't say anything to stay, so she could only cry out sadly and helplessly, "Brother, brother!" "
Youlan knew that she couldn't change her brother's decision.
"Be good, I'll be back soon." Gu Chao gently rubbed Youlan's head, "You also have a mission in Haishi, for your sister Lan, do you understand?"
You Lan nodded with swollen eyes.
Gu Chao chuckled and added: "If you have any news, please write to me. Xie Jinghong knows the address."
"I know, brother, I will find Sister Lan, I will definitely do it! The three of us will go home together then!"
The words "go home together" made Gu Chao's eyes heat up. He rolled his throat twice for fear that he would choke if he spoke out, so he said nothing, patted You Lan on the head, and turned to leave.
He must seize the time, go quickly, and come back quickly.
After Gu Chao left, Xie Jinghong followed his instructions and quickly launched an investigation and search with Youlan.
Combining Gu Chao’s general description and Youlan’s identification, Xie Jinghong found a foreign painter through connections and obtained a lead portrait of Yanyi’s face in the shortest possible time.
“With this, will the chance of finding it increase?” Youlan leaned over the table, staring at the lifelike sketch in wonder.
Although it is black and white, it is almost the same as the real person.
"It's better than blindly looking for someone." Xie Jinghong rolled up the painting, raised his finger and flicked Youlan's forehead, "Just practice calligraphy in the room, you don't need to go downstairs."
After saying that, he turned around and walked out.
With quick hands, You Lan grabbed the sleeves of his gown and said, "My brother said, you have to take me with you when you look for them! I, I can recognize them."
"With this, I don't need you anymore." Xie Jinghong held up the picture, and seeing Youlan's puffed-up cheeks looking indignant, he reached out and tapped her nose again, with a hint of coaxing in his tone, "Search There are always unknown dangers in the process. I will take you with me when I find the person and determine the scope."
Youlan had no choice but to let go.
Xie Jinghong is right. He has a photo of Sister Lan and a portrait of Deputy Bureau Yan. He will definitely recognize her if he meets her...
She can't cause trouble for him.
Watching Xie Jinghong go out, the moment the door closed, Youlan stood up suddenly, "Brother Xie, then come back early, I, I'll wait for you to have dinner together!"
You Lan was thinking about what Xie Jinghong said just now, "There will be unknown dangers during the search." She was always a little worried and didn't want Xie Jinghong to be in danger.

The flowers in the courtyard faded and bloomed again, and three or four years passed in the blink of an eye.
In 1982, the foreign bank once again changed its appearance. From the door curtains to the decoration, everything exuded a modern and modern atmosphere. There was an endless stream of guests, and in addition to foreigners, there were many more oriental-looking guests than before.
With Xie Jinghong's current status, he does not need him to receive reception on the first floor, but he seems to be very keen to communicate with foreigners. In his eyes, foreigners are cautious and suspicious, but because they neglect to bring understanding of Eastern culture, he can always learn from them. A few words of connotation in the deviation.
The foreigners were made to laugh, but they had no idea what those words really meant.
Let people look at them and think they are as stupid as pigs.
Such pictures and scenes satisfy Xie Jinghong’s bad taste in a sense, so he always enjoys it.
Xie Jinghong was like this today, but before the story reached its climax, there was the sound of "tap, tap, tap" footsteps coming from the stairs. Some foreign guests turned their heads and looked, making impatient "tsk tsk" sounds, "What is that? Listen!" It sounds like the sound that a mammoth would make in a book."
The tone is full of contempt.
Xie Jinghong's brows furrowed for a moment, and he glanced at the man with a smile on his face and said, "Sorry, excuse me for a moment."
“It’s okay, thank you boss for taking care of yourself first.”
Xie Jinghong turned around, his eyes suddenly turned cold. When he saw the hem of the long skirt hanging out from the stairs, his expression suddenly became gentle again.
Youlan held up the hem of her skirt and stood panting at the top of the stairs, "Brother Xie! Hurry, hurry! Brother is calling!"
The childish little girl four years ago has now grown into a tall and graceful girl.
