Chapter 104: The Yuan Family Dinner
On the third day, Wu Fan came to a noodle restaurant as agreed.
"Boss, let's have a bowl of beef noodles!" Wu Fan sat down and ordered a bowl of beef noodles.
After a while, a little girl with an apron came out with a big bowl of beef noodles, which made people wonder if she could see the way.
But the little girl was obviously familiar with the noodle restaurant, and walked very smoothly, without letting a drop of noodle soup spill out.
"Guest, your meeting is here, please slow down...... Brother General!" The little girl put the noodles on the table, and halfway through her words, she saw that it was Wu Fan this time, and her face instantly became happy.
"Come, Nannan, sit and eat noodles with my big brother, don't be busy first. Wu Fan beckoned Nan Nan to sit down, and beckoned the owner of the noodle restaurant to come over, wanting to explain to Nan Nan.
But before he could speak, the owner of the noodle restaurant said enthusiastically: "You are the fellow warrior of the Northland that Nan Nan said, and I am too, and I used to be in the same period as Nan Nan's father."
It's a pity ......"
When he met his veteran comrades who had fought in the Northland, the owner of the noodle restaurant was very enthusiastic, and although they were not members of the same period, they also had a natural sense of closeness.
The two chatted with each other for a while, and when the owner of the noodle shop confirmed that Wu Fan really had no bad intentions, he left with confidence and continued to work on the affairs of the store.
And Wu Fan also learned more things, Nan Nan wandered around after losing her father and mother, and took in many orphans of Northland warriors like her, most of the time, they begged for a living, and sometimes when they met a good Samaritan, they would do some work for the good Samaritan to get supplies and food.
She still insisted on finding news of her father, and as a result, she met many Northland veterans, some of whom were also living in hardship, and some of whom had little wealth.
It is precisely because of the help of these people from time to time that Nan Nan and her group of friends can survive in this prosperous but ruthless society.
This noodle shop is also one of the places where she works.
But the owner of the noodle restaurant told Wu Fan that they, the veterans, had thought of helping this group of children, and each adopted a child from a family that was still living well.
But it was rejected by Nannan, who was the representative of the children's group, and as for what the reason, no matter how they asked, Nannan didn't say.
Wu Fan's heart moved, and he guessed a possibility.
Dividing the beef noodles into a small bowl for Nannan, Wu Fan asked while eating, "Nannan, have you noticed that someone is beating your group of children?"
The little hand holding the noodles stopped, looking at Wu Fan with big black eyes, with doubt and hesitation in his eyes, and his little hands grabbed the chopsticks tightly, looking very nervous.
Wu Fan knew what she was worried about, showed a gentle smile, and comforted: "Don't worry, I have already disposed of those two people, and tonight, there will be an operation to completely eradicate those who want to catch children." ”
Nannan's hand holding the chopsticks relaxed, and said uncertainly:
"I don't know if there are such bad people, I just know that some of the friends I used to know who were also orphans suddenly disappeared.
And like me, their fathers were former Northland warriors. ”
Speaking of this, she was both sad and scared, and she continued:
"Once, I was picking up trash in a dark alley when I heard a conversation between two people around the corner, and they ...... They're planning to take away the kids of us Northland warriors, so since then, my friends and I have been careful to go home every night without letting anyone know where we live. ”
"I don't dare tell the noodle shop uncle because those people ...... It was so good that when I eavesdropped on them, when they were gone, I found that an uncle I had asked for the news had died there. ”
Nan Nan told Wu Fan with difficulty that a child of this age should not experience a sad and terrifying story, and this story is her personal experience.
Wu Fan can imagine how Nan Nan has spent frightened and helpless nights these days.
Wu Fan touched Nannan's little head and said gently and firmly: "From now on, no one will bully you, no one will dare to arrest you, and the general's big brother will protect you." ”
Wu Fan's heart throbbed, these orphans, the father of some of them, was once his comrade-in-arms, growing up with him, but he died in the middle of the battle;
Some may be that after he became a general, he was a member of the army he once led, and he used his own sacrifice to achieve his name as Wu Fan's god of war.
And he, as their general, did not bring them back to their hometown, let alone take care of their families.
......
After eating, Wu Fan took Nan Nan and took her to buy clothes, and after dressing up a little, she turned back into a beautiful and lovely porcelain doll.
Wu Fan took him to walk in the prosperous mall of Haizhu City, took her to play in the amusement park, went to the underwater world to watch dolphins and whales, and went to many places where she had been in the company of her father or had never been.
"Brother General, thank you!" After a day of playing, Nan Nan was so tired that she couldn't walk, she was held by Wu Fan and fell asleep, and said to Wu Fan affectionately before going to bed.
"Big brother will take you to eat delicious food, you sleep for a while, and you will arrive when you wake up. Wu Fan lovingly patted Xiao Nannan's back and let her fall asleep slowly.
After a while, a black sedan stopped in front of Wu Fan, and the driver's seat rolled down the window, revealing Guan Xiaoyue's beautiful face.
"My lord, we'll go over now, and in half an hour the dinner will begin. Guan Xiaoyue reported to Wu Fan on the progress of the Yuan family's dinner tonight.
"Tonight, the Yuan family will have a banquet with many business friends, as well as some local snakes from Haizhu Port, big boat gangs, and characters from the gray area of half-maritime merchants and half-pirates. ”
After a pause, Guan Xiaoyue continued: "The two of Nikun Nero were originally on the invitation list, but because the two of them have disappeared, they have been changed to a person from an organization called the Snow Elders Association to participate. ”
Hearing the name of the Snow Elders, Wu Fan's eyes flashed, and then he regained his composure, nodded to Guan Xiaoyue, and got into the car with Nan Nan in his arms.
......
In the restaurant on the top floor of Haizhu Tower, the Yuan family has been chartered at this time, and a banquet is being held to celebrate the Yuan family's eleventh ocean cruise ship.
At the banquet, there were many wealthy merchants, celebrities everywhere, and a group of fierce-looking forces that specialized in surviving in ports and overseas.
To put it simply, this banquet is mixed, including rich businessmen and magnates, as well as Qingliu celebrities, and gray heroes, but the only thing that is not is the official forces representing the northern country - before Wu Fan and Guan Xiaoyue appeared.
When Guan Xiaoyue handed the invitation representing the Intelligence Department to the doorman, the doorman was stunned for a moment, thinking that he had read it wrong.
After repeated confirmation, the doorman confirmed that this was not a counterfeit door sticker, although full of doubts, but still politely invited Wu Fan and others to enter, and announced loudly according to the prescribed etiquette:
"Haizhu Intelligence Division is here!"
