34, Chengdu
"Of course, I'll get you right away." Fang Chengyi was a person who was in a hurry, and he quickly found the teacher's contact and sent it to Chen Wen.
Chen Wen nodded in thanks, then sat down at his desk and dialed the number.
The voice on the other end of the phone was crisp and bright, and you could imagine that it must be an energetic young female teacher.
"Is it Mr. Li?"
"Yes, I am, where are you?"
"Oh, I'm Chen Wen from Shanghai Minxue, and my colleague Fang Chengyi just took a photo from you a few days ago."
Teacher Li on the other end screamed several times, paused for a few seconds, and should be forcing himself to calm down: "You are the one who was proposed by Ye Xingtong on TV?" ”
"Yes......"
"Are you the one in my father's picture?"
Chen Wen touched his forehead on the other end of the phone, hesitated and replied, "Teacher Li, I had an illness after that conference, and I don't remember many things at that stage. Actually, I was curious to see if I had attended that conference or not. I was wondering if I could talk to your father directly, I had a lot of questions for him. ”
"This ......," Mr. Li wanted to say but stopped.
"What's wrong, Mr. Li?"
"Actually, my father passed away this summer. I found some old photos while sorting through his belongings. It just so happened that I saw Ye Xingtong proposing to you on TV a few days ago, and I recognized you as the person in one of the photos. ”
Chen Wen originally wanted Mr. Li to copy or send all the old photos directly, but he felt that this was too troublesome for others. He said: "That's it, I'll fly directly to Chengdu today." Probably...... It can be there at seven or eight o'clock in the evening. Could you please take a moment to show me these pictures? Also, can you help me contact your father's colleagues and friends back in the day to see if anyone else was in that meeting? ”
"You have to have it." Mr. Li happily spoke directly in Sichuan, "Welcome to be a guest, my husband and I are both fans of Ye Xingtong, and we all like her newly released song "A Leaf Obscurely". ”
Since this is the case, Chen Wen feels that it is easy to do.
He asked Li Fei to find a few records and autographed posters that Ye Xingtong took to give them, and then called Ye Xingtong to say that he was going on a business trip for a day.
And also...... I almost forgot. Before Chen Wenlin went out, he suddenly remembered that he wanted to call Officer Xiaohu to tell him about his departure from Shanghai.
Xiao Hu is indeed easier to deal with than the Captain Zheng in the leather coat. He just asked Chen Wen when he would come back, asked him to return to Shanghai to send him a message, and wished Chen Wen a smooth journey.
After arranging everything, Chen Wen drove directly to the airport.
The time he landed at the Chengdu airport, it must have been completely dark if he was in Shanghai. But in Chengdu, there is still some light.
In order to cause trouble to others, Chen Wen directly found a chain restaurant at the airport for dinner, and then took a taxi to Mr. Li's house.
In the sky, which slowly became completely dark, Chen Wen rang the doorbell of Teacher Li's house. As a burst of warm yellow light lit up, he saw Ms. Li, who was indeed enthusiastic and energetic with glasses, as well as her tall and strong husband, a child of about one year old, and an elderly mother who helped hold the child.
Teacher Li and her husband warmly welcomed Chen Wen into the house, and poured tea and snacks after taking a seat on the sofa. This kind of family atmosphere made Chen Wen, who had been in a busy life in a hurry for ten years, suddenly yearn for married life.
He hurriedly sent Ye Xingtong's record and signed poster. After thanking them happily, Mr. and Mrs. Li immediately took out the photos that had been sorted out.
There are more than 100 photos in total, and Mr. Li divided them into categories according to outdoor activities, indoor activities, meetings, and miscellaneous, and put them on the coffee table in four stacks.
Chen Wen carefully looked through the photos. He saw a lot of people who should be bosses and investors. Those unfamiliar faces are all dressed in straight suits, completely different from their own dressing style. Even the brand-name bags they carried, and the secretaries and assistants who followed him, showed how insignificant he was in the meetings that year.
It took more than ten minutes for Chen Wen to finish reading all the photos. Except for the one Fang Chengyi brought back, he never found his image again.
"Actually, I looked for it before you came, and only that photo should have been taken by you. There are no other photos, and I specially took the clothes in your photo and asked my husband to help find them again. Teacher Li said while serving tea to Chen Wen.
Chen Wen nodded gratefully. He decided to look again, this time not looking for himself, but to see if there would be anyone else he knew...... Especially that Yingying.
There are not many young women in the photo, but some are too far away and too small, some are back, and some are blurred in the background. Chen Wen could only pick out some photos that might be her and put them aside.
And Mr. Li also helped to use the computer to query the information of the science fiction venture capital conference. According to her, as a native of Chengdu, it is possible to find a breakthrough in those organizers, co-organizers and even reporters.
She was right.
"Manager Chen, look, I should know this person."
Mr. Li was referring to the photographer of the photo marked in a conference report, called Lao Tang.
"Old Tang is my father's senior brother when he studied photography, and he is a professional photographer. The photos he took were published in the newspapers and magazines, and they were all signed by Lao Tang. Mr. Li said while looking through the address book on his mobile phone, "I guess he was the official photographer of that conference, and my father was called by him to help." ”
Although he doesn't fully understand this division of labor, Chen Wen, who has a little experience in photography, imagines that it should be Tang who wants to shoot from different distances and angles, so as to take more good shots.
Teacher Li did not directly find Tang's contact information, but asked her father's old colleague by phone and finally got the number.
After getting through the phone, Mr. Li said oh oh twice, and then quickly described Chen Wen's situation. After a few more "Eun eun knows", he hung up the phone.
"What did Don say?"
Teacher Li told Chen Wen with a smile: "Old Tang is boarding a plane and is going to fly back from other places. He said I'll see you tomorrow morning at the venue of the sci-fi venture capital conference. ”
"Great."
"And that's not all." Teacher Li held up the photo of Chen Wen, "Old Tang said, he remembers you very clearly!" ”
