279 A telegram from the provincial capital
Because they were busy dealing with the matter of buying land and starting business, Situ Huaibi and his daughter and He Xiaojun had been staying in the mountain city for nearly half a year, until the national government moved the capital, the transfer of land was completed, and the business of the Situ family was on track, and they were ready to take advantage of the Yangtze River has not been blocked, rush back to the provincial capital, and then make the next step.
When he was in Shancheng, he asked Situ Huaibi's consent, and He Xiaojun invited Cao Jinlong, a veteran who had not yet settled his life and whom he had befriended on the train from the provincial capital to Yueyang, to Shancheng and arranged a job for him in Situ's business.
When Cao Jinlong came over, what He Xiaojun didn't expect was that he brought his comrades-in-arms who had been car tyrants on the train, including the veteran nicknamed Mouse who was thrown off the train by him.
When Cao Jinlong came to the mountain city to meet He Xiaojun, after seeing the surprised gaze he looked at him, he quickly explained that his group of brothers really couldn't live in their hometown, and if they went down, not only but their relatives could only wait for death, so he brought them over, and if He Xiaojun could forgive them, let him work with him in Situ's house, and on the contrary, let them find jobs by themselves.
The group of people who followed Cao Jinlong must have discussed it before entering Shu, and after they met He Xiaojun, they all made a profound review of him, and promised to listen to Cao Jinlong's words in the future and not make trouble again.
The veteran, nicknamed Mouse, knelt down to her after seeing Situ Meiqian, asking her to forgive her for the mistake that did not lead to bad results.
For these people brought by Cao Jinlong, He Xiaojun was embarrassed. After all, they had made mistakes and offended themselves and Situ Meiqian, and he didn't know much about this group of people, so he couldn't make the decision to arrange them into the Situ family's business.
In the end, when He Xiaojun asked for the opinion of Situ Huaibi, the head of Situ's business, Situ Huaibi handed over the matter to him to solve, which could be regarded as an examination of his ability to handle things.
After some thought, the soft-hearted He Xiaojun finally couldn't see the situation of this group of people, and arranged them all into the Situ family's business.
However, with a responsible attitude towards the Situ family's business, He Xiaojun put a lot of effort into arranging positions.
Cao Jinlong, a person He Xiaojun thought was credible, and he was placed in a guard post; The others, when he saw that they were in good health, arranged for them to work in factories with strength; As for the rat, who was greedy for money and lustful, and had average physical fitness, he assigned a role in charge of factory hygiene.
At the same time, because he was still worried about this group of people, He Xiaojun not only repeatedly instructed Cao Jinlong to take care of his brothers, but also summoned this group of people, and made a special warning, saying that he was very familiar with the No. 1 gang in Shancheng, and if they did something to be sorry for him, he would entrust the people of the Jiangsha Gang to help punish them.
After Cao Jinlong and his brother swore an oath, He Xiaojun was a little more relieved.
After arranging this class of Wu Qi to interact with He Xiaojun, seeing that he not only disregarded his previous suspicions, but also allowed the gang to have an income in the construction and decoration of the factory, and in the daily interactions, he also felt that this young man was in line with his own spleen and stomach, so he became friends with him.
There is another thing that makes Wu Qi grateful to He Xiaojun, that is, He Xiaojun let him, who had spare money, also buy a lot of land with the Situ family. And this land, which has only been bought for less than two months, has already doubled in value.
In this way, the grateful Wu Qi naturally agreed to He Xiaojun's confession.
The people who followed He Xiaojun and got the benefits from buying land were also the golden shopkeepers of the money bank.
Since the Situ family had a lot of business with Qian Zhuang during this time, the shopkeeper Jin and He Xiaojun, who represented the Situ family, were also familiar with each other. Anyway, there are business opportunities, and it is impossible for his side to take over all the business, so He Xiaojun also reported the purchase of land to the shopkeeper Jin.
Seeing such a large investment by the Situ family, the gold shopkeeper also cautiously followed and invested in a piece of land. As a result, like Wu Qi, his investment doubled in two months.
After the rapid return of this real estate investment, the golden shopkeeper who was already counted as a rich man in the mountain city regretted that he was too cautious and made the investment small. Later, he asked He Xiaojun again for his opinion and asked if there was any future for this business.
After getting He Xiaojun's affirmative answer, the shopkeeper Jin once again invested all his worth in this business.
The second investment of the gold shopkeeper has also begun to appreciate in value soon after.
He Xiaojun's two ideas made the shopkeeper Jin earn a lot of money, so in addition to being grateful to him, the shopkeeper Jin also admired and respected him.
Because of He Xiaojun's relationship, the golden shopkeeper was also quite skewed about the Situ family, a big customer, and directly exempted them from the handling fee for the types of money they exchanged and kept through the bank.
Situ Huaibi was very satisfied with the useful relationships He Xiaojun made in the mountain city and the handling of Cao Jinlong and his group, and the more he looked at He Xiaojun, the hairy son-in-law in his mind, the more pleasing he became.
As for Situ Meiqian? He Xiaojun is already a perfect embodiment in her eyes at this time. During these days, no matter where He Xiaojun goes, she will follow suit, and regard following He Xiaojun's side as her greatest pleasure.
In December 1937, after the Nationalist Government moved the capital and officially started its office in Shancheng, the Situ family's business was on the right track, and He Xiaojun and the others were also ready to leave the mountain city where they had stayed for nearly half a year and rush back to the provincial capital first.
The plan of He Xiaojun and Situ Huaibi's father and daughter is to rush back to the provincial capital first, finish the work of Situ's family there, and then rush back to Haishan for the Spring Festival, and then think about where to go in the next days.
Just as He Xiaojun and the others were about to set off, a telegram was transferred from the provincial capital, which was forwarded by the people left in the provincial capital by the Situ family, and the telegram was addressed to He Xiaojun, and the person who sent the telegram was actually Xie Changhai, the mayor of Haishan.
It turned out that Mayor Xie's two daughters and Director Hu's son-in-law and a group of Ningcheng students secretly went to the provincial capital to participate in the anti-Japanese rally and march organized by the students in the provincial capital without hiding from their parents.
Mayor Xie and Director Hu, who found out that their children were missing, were of course anxious, and after inquiring, they learned that their children had secretly run away to the provincial capital.
The tension of the current situation made Mayor Xie and Director Hu dare not leave their posts without permission, so in addition to entrusting their connections in the provincial capital to help find and protect their children, they also thought of He Xiaojun, who they thought was in the provincial capital, and also called this acquaintance with extraordinary ability to help find and protect their children, and asked him to help bring them back to Haishan.
After Mayor Xie's telegram arrived at the Situ family's business house in the provincial capital, the people left in the provincial capital of the Situ family naturally did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly forwarded it to the mountain city.
After receiving this telegram asking for help, He Xiaojun knew that even if he rushed back immediately, it might be too late, so he asked Situ Huaibi to call back and ask his family to stay in the provincial capital to help find the daughters of the two mayors first, and at the same time, let him use his family's relationship in the provincial capital to try his best to protect them, so he hurried to find Wu Qi and asked him to help contact the fastest flight to Yueyang.
With the help of Wu Qi, after contacting a cargo ship that would leave immediately and sail to Yueyang day and night, He Xiaojun considered that it was not as comfortable as a passenger ship on a cargo ship, and that there was a certain danger in sailing at night, so he proposed to Situ's father and daughter that he take the first step and let them take tomorrow's passenger ship.
Situ Meiqian was reluctant to part with He Xiaojun and said that she wanted to walk with him.
Situ Huaibi did not object to his daughter's proposal.
So, He Xiaojun and his party of three said goodbye to Wu Qi, Jin Shopkeeper and Cao Jinlong and several other acquaintances in the mountain city at noon that day, and got on the cargo ship to Yueyang.
