Chapter 66: Anne Returns
Two weeks later, the sun was still hot at the end of August.
At the busy Ducheng International Airport, a group of passengers who were delayed because of their planes were bored to pass the time. Seeing a small plane landing on the runway, obviously personal, because no company would spray-paint Winnie the Pooh on its wings, right?
Seeing that there were only three people walking out of the plane, a young man looked at his watch and said dissatisfiedly: "It's two hours late, but such a small plane can occupy the runway." We're going to make way for these three? It's not fair......"
A man with glasses next to him glanced at it and said lightly: "I'm afraid that the money of all of us here together is not as much as others." This is Boeing's latest model of private aircraft, don't look small, but it can go around the world, and it is more expensive than a 747. β
As soon as these words came out, the people around couldn't help but show envy. Just as the three entered the airport hall, everyone found a young man and a father and daughter. The father has an extraordinary appearance, with a deep melancholy that only Westerners have, and the daughter is beautiful and elf, cute like a doll.
This father and daughter are none other than Hill and Anne, who left the city a month ago.
The young man walking in front of the two was an Oriental face, dressed in a straight suit, with a handsome face, and a graceful demeanor, which caused a group of girls to scream. He took his little daughter's hand and said with a smile: "Little Annie, do you really not want me to continue to be your fiancΓ©?" β
His face was so white that there seemed to be no trace of blood, the sickly pale that the Western aristocracy sought after. Anne snorted and said in stammering Chinese: "Dugu Linchuan, I never let you be my fiancΓ©!" I'm about to see Brother Amun, so don't talk nonsense. β
Her pronunciation also has the strange tone of foreigners speaking Chinese, but the general meaning can still be distinguished, and her voice is sweet and sounds very cute.
"Oh, little Annie, it hurts my heart to say that!" The handsome young man called Dugu Linchuan exaggerated his crying and covered his face, but he took the opportunity to take Anne's hand and knead it fiercely, as if he was rubbing oil.
Of course, Anne knew that he was being funny, so she pulled her hand out without the slightest sympathy, and giggled: "Don't come to this set, you used this trick to trick me into my first kiss, I won't be fooled again." β
When Hill heard this, his eyes turned coldly, and Dugu Linchuan's expression immediately froze on his face, and he said, "Uncle Hill, I haven't been, don't listen to little Anne's nonsense......"
Anne made the appearance of seeing the pervert and hid behind her father, but poked out her little head and kept grimacing at the pale-faced Dugu Linchuan.
Hill glared at Dugu Linchuan fiercely, his lips moved, and he said, "Anne is still young, don't take her too much." β
With a hint of Anne's hand, the three of them walked briskly out of the airport hall.
Anne quietly approached Dugu Linchuan and said proudly: "You can hear it, you hope that you will not embarrass him in the next negotiations with Brother Amon." Otherwise, I would have told my father that you took me to some overheated places and opened a separate double room in the hotel......"
Hearing the little girl's threat, Dugu Linchuan, who had just been full of grace, walked like a robot, taking mechanical steps, and nodding without any reaction. He wasn't actually afraid of Anne's family, and his background wasn't much weaker than Anne's. What he is really afraid of is the person Ciel, with his level, he also knows something about the dark world, this man is one of the most terrible killers in the world, although he never uses thermal weapons, but in close combat, the dagger in his hand is never weaker than any thermal weapon.
Seeing her nodding, Anne wanted to pat her on the shoulder, but found that she was still far from reaching it on tiptoe, so she had to pat Dugu Linchuan's chest indecently, giggling and catching up with her father's footsteps.
Dugu Linchuan thought for a moment before he said, "Brother Ameng...... That's the guy who made you decide to learn Chinese......"
Anne turned her head abruptly and said viciously: "You are not allowed to use the word 'guy' to describe him, my Chinese teacher said that 'guy' is a derogatory term." β
Dugu Linchuan was dumbfounded, he didn't expect Annie's Chinese to improve so quickly, even if she was talented, but she could understand the broad and profound Chinese to this extent in just one month, and there must have been a lot of effort in between.
But although he agreed to Anne's request, it was only a joke on him. He is Anne's manager, and he manages her share of the fund for her, and he is responsible for her share of the fund, and he cannot invest in something that is impossible to make a profit because of her books and his own likes and dislikes.
No matter how many threats Anne gave him, he would not waver in his judgment.
β¦β¦
The next day, Bai Meng received a call from Jiang Di, telling him that Anne had returned to Ducheng.
Hearing that this strong and smiling little girl was back, Bai Meng was very happy and immediately rushed to the cafΓ© that Jiang Di said. As soon as he pushed the door, a small body hugged him, climbed on top of him like a koala, and said in Swiss Chinese with his tongue curled: "Brother Amun, I miss you!" β
Bai Meng was stunned, and immediately said in surprise: "Little Annie, can you speak Chinese?" β
After speaking, he kissed Anne's pink little face. Although it was a kiss's face, Anne's face was still red, and she immediately broke free from his arms and jumped to the ground. A very ladylike bowed, and learned from the ancient Chinese ladies to lower their eyebrows and pleasing their eyes: "The little girl Anne has just arrived in the precious land, please take care of her." β
With this figure, Bai Meng only felt that the sky was thundering, and he was stunned and asked, "You learned this in Peking Opera, right?" β
"Yes, Peking Opera is the quintessence of your country, and the characters in it are very beautiful! The teacher also told me the story inside, which was very beautiful, but unfortunately Anne still couldn't understand the singing. Anne happily explained to Bai Meng.
Bai Meng stroked his forehead and said helplessly: "Peking Opera is very beautiful, but the things in it are a kind of etiquette in the past, we usually don't do that in life, understand?" Only on the stage will there be the movements of Peking Opera. β
"So you shouldn't say hello like that?" Anne realized, "No wonder I haven't seen Chinese people wearing long-sleeved clothes on the street." β
As he spoke, he sat down and shook his sleeves, which made everyone laugh. Hill also smiled and nodded, presumably understood. It seems that when his daughter was learning Chinese, he did not learn less.
"Baimeng child, how are you doing?" Bai Meng and Anne come over, Hill says hello, and Bai Meng discovers that he can also speak Chinese, and he speaks it better than Anne.
"This is Dugu Linchuan, you may need to have more contact these days." Hill introduced Dugu Linchuan, who was sitting next to him, to Bai Meng, and said very clearly, Bai Meng shook hands with the handsome and elegant Dugu Linchuan.
"I'm Anne's private fund manager, my name is Dugu Linchuan, and I'm here to investigate Mr. Bai Meng's partnership." Dugu Linchuan first introduced himself very formally, and immediately smiled again, "But today we just met, let's talk casually, and I also gave Anne a live listening lesson." β
Anne raised her little fist: "I don't have to go to class, I can understand it completely!" β
Through Anne, Bai Meng immediately had a good impression of this Dugu Linchuan, and saw that Anne also liked her as a fund manager, and the two seemed to be a pair of frolicking brothers and sisters.
However, Anne's Chinese really doesn't need to go to class, and she can't speak it the last time she met, and it is better than what many Chinese people say after not seeing her for a month.
Unbeknownst to Bai Meng, Hill is a killer who often lurks in other languages, is trained to learn a language quickly, and has a talent for imitating other people's pronunciation. He doesn't know Chinese, also because he hasn't been on a mission in China before. He regarded his daughter as all his life to learn Chinese, and he naturally tried his best to master it, and then tutored Anne. In addition, Anne worked very hard in order to see Bai Meng, and the two of them also had the conditions to create a learning context, so they naturally made rapid progress.
Bai Meng didn't know about it, but he thought that Hill's father and daughter would Chinese, which was too convenient...... At least she doesn't need Jiang Di to translate next to her, if she is in a bad mood, everyone can only meet each other.
He subconsciously looked at Jiang Di, but saw that she just started to say hello, and just listened to everyone with a light smile. Although she seemed to be listening carefully, Bai Meng, who was already familiar with her, felt that she was probably not in a good mood like this.
After chatting with Hill and the others for a while, Bai Meng found an opportunity to ask if Jiang Di had any troubles recently. Jiang Di hesitated for a moment before telling her that it was because of Jiang Panzhi.
It turned out that Jiang Panzhi was shot at the edge of the heart, and although he was out of danger after Baimeng's surgery, his body was always a little weak. After this evil incident, her family didn't want her to continue to be a policeman, but she insisted.
She quarreled with her family several times over this matter, and the family insisted on not letting her go back to work at the police station on the grounds that she was not in good health. Jiang Panzhi is also a stubborn character, forcibly increasing the amount of training to enhance his physique, but he has been injured several times, and his heart is not very good, so he can't leave the hospital in a short time.
Bai Meng couldn't help but sigh after hearing this. Jiang Panzhi had seen the desperate work when he was on the mission, and he dared to chase Zhou Chao and them in a car at the beginning, and this courage was really admirable. Now such a heroic policewoman has to take off the police uniform she loves and fights for because she is injured, which is extremely regrettable.
Bai Meng thought about it: "You tell your cousin not to be too anxious recently, take care of her body first, I will go back to see him, formulate a rehabilitation training, at least let her recover the level when she was injured." β
As the two were talking, Dugu Linchuan suddenly interjected: "Bai Meng, this training plan you said, is it going to use the ...... you want to cooperate with?"
He twisted his eyebrows and thought for a moment before he said, "Nine turns of jade liquid? I'm sorry I grew up in Europe, but I'm not familiar with some of our Chinese things. β
Bai Meng nodded: "Helping the body recover is also a major function of the Nine Turns Jade Liquid, and I have also developed products with different dosage forms and different functions, here is a brief introduction, please take a look." β
Saying that, Bai Meng took out a document from his arms and handed it to Dugu Linchuan, obviously prepared.
