Chapter Twenty-Three: Brothers
After thinking about it for a while, Gao Fan still dialed it.
Under normal circumstances, he chooses to ignore all these strange calls. I can't tell if it's a relative who comes to collect the debt, as long as he takes it, and then he can't pay it back, they will call endlessly.
But a few days ago he had already paid off all his debts. This concern will disappear naturally.
This strange call is very likely from Gong Xu's side.
Without the slightest wait, the call was connected in an instant.
"Gao Fan."
On the other end of the line was a deep male voice.
"It's me."
Gao Fan replied, the air blown by the cold wind in the early morning of winter became cold, and it was very refreshing to inhale it into the lungs.
"The plan is ahead of schedule."
"Tomorrow morning at nine o'clock, Pentagon."
"The old man will send someone to pick you up."
After that, there was a "beep" and the other party cut off the phone.
Gao Fan stood in the cold wind and was silent for a long time.
The hand holding the phone was red from the cold.
I'm leaving tomorrow morning, and I'm going to be in a hurry.
Although it stands to reason that the sooner the better, the more time you will have to get the black jade pendant and then treat your mother. But the notice was given a day in advance, which was too unprepared.
He still doesn't know anything about Gong Xu, but the other party has already touched his bottom carefully.
This kind of extreme mismatch of information resources makes people extremely insecure.
But if you want to know the news about Gong Xu, you have to ask someone at the same level as him. These people, Gao Fan only knew Qi Mengyu and Su Wanjie, but he didn't want to involve these two people.
Gao Fan walked while thinking, and unconsciously, he walked downstairs to the Heavenly and Earthly Hotel.
Even in the morning, there are vehicles entering and leaving this old hotel, and the security guards and waiters are not idle for a moment.
"Gao Fan?"
A voice of surprise came from a car that was about to pull into the park.
Gao Fan subconsciously stopped.
Look at the source of the sound.
The windows rolled down slowly, revealing the face of a young man. The slightly rough appearance reveals a scholarly temperament that is extremely inconsistent with the appearance.
"Zhang Ming?"
Gao Fan was slightly stunned when he saw that familiar face, and turned to joy.
"Stop, stop!"
Zhang Ming hurriedly stopped the driver and stepped out of the car.
When the brothers met, they immediately gave each other a big hug.
"I haven't seen you for half a year, where did you kid die!"
Gao Fan punched Zhang Ming hard, but he didn't blame him at all.
"You don't reply to your messages, and your circle of friends doesn't update."
"It's like dead!"
"Hey!"
Zhang Ming shook his head, put his arm around Gao Fan's shoulders, greeted the driver, and walked to heaven and earth. “
"Second uncle, you go park first. I ran into my brother and went in first! “
"Second uncle?"
Gao Fan was slightly stunned, a little stunned, it seems that this person is Zhang Ming's relative, or his driver? After knowing each other for so long, why did he never know that Zhang Ming's family was so rich?
Although he is indeed very generous and very happy when he borrows money, Gao Fan simply thinks that Zhang Ming is just from a better family background and a righteous person, and he does not think about other aspects.
"You kid, hide deep enough!"
Feeling Gao Fan's gaze, Zhang Ming laughed embarrassedly, came to a mini private room with Gao Fan, and told Gao Fan about his experience in the past six months.
After graduating from university, Zhang Ming's father, Zhang Dongcai, arranged for him to study abroad to study hotel management and finance. In order to be able to better take over the inheritance of heaven and earth in the future.
And he also followed two uncles, saying that it was to take care of him, but in fact, he was to supervise him and prevent him from studying hard and fooling around outside all day long.
Therefore, for half a year in the United States, Zhang Ming lived like a prisoner, and the use of computers and mobile phones was strictly restricted. Even the living expenses are given on a weekly basis, which is called to cultivate his financial management ability, so that he lives carefully every day. Usually only one elderly machine is used to maintain basic communication.
Now that I have come back from vacation, I finally got a little respite and returned to embrace the life of modern people.
Zhang Ming was like pouring bitter water, crying out all the bitter tears. I thought I would be able to relax, but my father arranged for an internship in the hotel.
Gao Fan listened silently, from envy at the beginning to sympathy. Zhang Mingde lives, he really doesn't want to experience it.
"So, heaven and earth are your family's own?"
Gao Fan asked, very dissatisfied with Zhang Ming for hiding himself for more than four years.
"Well, that's right."
Zhang Ming shook his head in annoyance, looking very underwhelmed.
"My grandfather started him, and then he gave it to my dad, and my dad wanted to give it to me."
"Their hard work, I don't want to be ruined by my lack of ability."
Gao Fan nodded in agreement, Heaven and Earth have become a signboard of Linquan City, which is incomparable to other emerging hotels. Zhang Ming does have a heavy burden on his body.
"So when my vacation is over, I have to go back to the United States to retreat and practice. Please cherish me. “
"Come to heaven and earth to see me."
Zhang Ming took Gao Fan's hands and looked at him pitifully, seeing that Gao Fan had goosebumps.
"Get out."
Zhang Ming's appearance seemed to be an encounter deliberately arranged by God, and Gao Fan found the best way to get news of Gong Xu.
It's to ask your brother for help.
Whether it is from the background, or the status, it is very suitable.
After Gao Fan told Zhang Ming of his request, the other party was a little puzzled at first, but he didn't say anything, just asked Gao Fan to wait for him in the box, and went out.
About an hour later, Zhang Ming pushed the door in, still holding a stack of materials in his hand.
"That's it."
Zhang Ming handed the information to Gao Fan.
"My dad was afraid that I would cause something, and he kept asking me to come."
Gao Fan looked at it silently.
The information was very detailed, and he even suspected that it was an entry that Zhang Ming had printed from some search engine.
About Gong Xu, from his background, to his fortune experience, and interpersonal relationships, as well as his current position in the business community in Linquan City, it is clear and clear.
"It's not illegal, is it?"
The information was so detailed that Gao Fan was a little scared.
"Hey, it's okay. These things are all released by these big bosses themselves. As long as you want to know, it's not hard to collect. ”
"Other secret things are what they really value."
Zhang Ming comforted, a little surprised.
"But Gao Fan, why do you want his information?"
"This old man is no ordinary man."
Gao Fan shook his head and closed the information.
"Nothing, just curious."
As if seeing that Gao Fan didn't want to explain the reason, Zhang Ming stopped talking, but in the end he didn't ask more.
Just told Gao Fan that if he encountered any difficulties, just come to him. He would stay in heaven and earth for both months. Will definitely do my best to help him.
Hearing this, Gao Fan's heart warmed, although he was no longer a roommate in the upper and lower bunks, Zhang Ming was still so righteous.
Zhang Ming left Gao Fan to have lunch in heaven and earth.
I haven't seen each other for half a year, and at the dinner table, the two of them talked a lot from the bottom of their hearts.
Gao Fan said that he would have to go out tomorrow because of work, so he asked Zhang Ming to go to the hospital in the afternoon to see his mother in the afternoon.
Zhang Ming nodded and agreed. said that when Gao Fan came back from a business trip, he would invite him to dinner.
In the afternoon, Zhang Ming accompanied Gao Fan to the hospital.
Chen Yumei's state is naturally still the same, and Gao Fan is already relieved.
Zhang Ming, on the other hand, secretly shed a few tears. said that when I missed college, I ate braised pork sent by Gao Fan's mother.
Gao Fan was also a little moved when he heard this.
The appearance of the black jade pendant continued to be portrayed and deepened in his mind.
After saying goodbye to Zhang Ming, Gao Fan went home and simply took a few clothes and packed his luggage.
He has long been accustomed to an empty home, but when he leaves, he always feels that something is missing.
After hesitating for a while, he still took out his phone.
I edited a text message, which basically said that I was going out for a few days, and the place was relatively remote, and there might be no signal.
Then it was sent to Su Wanjie.
As for Qi Mengyu, Gao Fan just told her that she had been very busy in the past few days and that she should not come to him.
As a result, Qi Mengyu made a direct phone call and scolded Gao Fan for a while.
At night, Gao Fan lay on the bed, tossing and turning, extremely awake.
When the day was about to dawn, I felt slightly sleepy.
At eight o'clock, the alarm went off.
Gao Fan washed his face with cold water, and then went to the Pentagon mentioned on the phone yesterday with his bag.
