Chapter 6: Door-to-door
Lin Ping deliberately made a gloating smile and pointed at Chen Zhang and said, "Little Chen Zhang, you are going to be unlucky." ”
"Brother Lin Ping, do you know where Chen Zhang's badge is?" Jiang Yue took Lin Ping's hand and asked.
"Brother Lin Ping, you help me find it, every time we lose something, you help us find it, if you can't find Aunt Fang, you will scold me again. I promise that I will protect my badge well in the future and will not lose it again. Chen Zhang hugged Lin Ping's arm aggrievedly.
"Okay, come with me, let's go find Aunt Chen." Lin Ping took one in one hand and walked with the two children to the office on the first floor of the front yard.
"Aunt Chen." Lin Ping knocked on the door and shouted.
A middle-aged woman in her forties with black-rimmed glasses sat at the desk in the back of the room, and looked up: "Lin Ping, have you eaten?" ”
"I've eaten it." Lin Ping brought the two children to Aunt Chen: "Aunt Chen, has anyone picked up Chen Zhang's badge?" ”
"Yes, yes, yes." Aunt Chen pulled out the drawer, took out a blue square badge, and handed it over: "I picked it up under the tree when I was just eating, and I replaced it with a new one when the rope broke, and I was about to send it to Xiao Chenzhang." ”
The badge is made of bronze with a blue background, with a bust of Grandma Li engraved on it and the word "Chen Zhang" written underneath.
Chen Zhang took the badge and carefully put it around his neck, and immediately smiled.
"Chen Zhang, thank you Aunt Chen." Lin Ping rubbed Chen Zhang's head.
The child shouted happily: "Thank you Aunt Chen, thank you Brother Lin Ping." ”
"Alright, let's go play." Lin Ping smiled and said to the two children, "Then Aunt Chen, I'm also leaving." By the way, Aunt Chen took the trouble to tell Aunt Fang, I want to go out and come back in the evening, Aunt Fang said before that she was looking for me, please let her call me. ”
"Hey." Aunt Chen suddenly raised her head again and said, "Lin Ping, if you come back early in the evening, go to my house for dinner, your Uncle Liu wants to play chess with you all day long." ”
"Well, I know." Lin Ping agreed casually.
Out of the door of the orphanage, Lin Ping called a car: "Master, please go to No. 72 Linjiang Road." ”
"Yo, I forgot to drive when I went out." The taxi master also has a cheerful personality and chatted familiarly.
"No, I'm going to find someone." Lin Ping replied casually.
"If you're looking for someone, then you're going to have to call your friend in advance. It is a famous villa area, and you don't let the car drive in from a long distance, and you have to walk for a long time to get in. The people living inside are all rich people, and the security guards are very strict, and they are not even allowed to enter without a pass. The taxi master had a cheerful personality and said it like a bean.
Along the way, Lin Ping just responded, talking less and listening more.
"When I arrived, it was a total of eighteen dollars. The front is the villa area, we can only drive here, and we can't enter the front. The taxi master reminded.
After getting out of the car, Lin Ping took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it.
The surrounding environment is elegant, the birds are singing and the air is very fresh, the villa area is opposite the Yangtze River, the road is lined with rows of green plants, the parking space not far away is parked with all kinds of luxury cars, there are not many people in and out, and they are wearing a seemingly simple and simple clothes. Lin Ping has a lot of stalls on weekdays, and he is also well aware of various brands, and none of these people who come in and out are dressed up less than 10,000 yuan.
Lin Ping smoked a cigarette and walked to the lifting pole, next to it was a guard booth, there was a passage in and out, Lin Ping was about to step inside.
A security guard came out of the guard booth and stopped Lin Ping: "I'm sorry, sir, please show me the pass, we have rules here, you are not allowed to enter without a pass." ”
Lin Ping smiled awkwardly, and only then did he remember to flip through his mobile phone: "This old Xu, I only give the address but don't give the phone, how can I find this." ”
"That, troublesome, I'll find someone surnamed Zhang named Zhang Qingshan." Yetian said with an embarrassed smile.
"I'm sorry, sir. If you are looking for someone to trouble you to call him, we can't square without a pass. The security guard politely declined.
Lin Ping took a breath and touched his forehead and didn't know what to do.
At this time, a young man in a suit trotted all the way over, smiled and said to the security guard, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, my friend, my friend." ”
Lin Pingzheng was strange, and the young man opened his mouth and asked Lin Ping, "You are Mr. Lin Pinglin, right?" ”
"Yes, it's me." Lin Ping nodded blankly.
"I'm sorry to keep you waiting here." The young man stretched out his hand to the night sky: "I am Chairman Zhang Qingshan's secretary, surnamed Yu, the chairman ordered me to wait for you here early in the morning, I'm really sorry to make you wait for so long, please come with me." ”
Lin Ping nodded, snuffed out the cigarette butt on the trash can next to the guard booth, and followed the young man.
"This is a pass, specially ordered by the chairman, it is convenient for you to enter and exit, please accept it." The young man took out a magnetic card from his pocket and handed it to Lin Ping: "There is my phone number behind the pass, if you have anything inconvenient to disturb the chairman, you can also contact me, turn on the phone 24 hours a day, on call, you don't have to be polite." ”
Lin Ping took the magnetic card and flipped it over: Yu Cheng, and below is a string of numbers.
The houses of the whole villa group are in a ring, the houses in the villa area are all single-house, one household is separated by a stone road in pairs, and rows of one-meter-thick camphor trees are planted on both sides of the stones. Next to the main road on the outside side is an artificial lake with a diameter of nearly ten meters, in the middle of which is a huge maiden fountain, and in the middle is a row of human-made corridors, where several old people are resting their legs.
Yu Cheng led Lin Ping to stand in front of one of the villas, took out the magnetic card and swiped it on the sensor in front of the door: Di.
"Mr. Lin, your card can also be swiped through this door, and you can enter and exit freely." Yu Cheng explained to Lin Ping.
After walking in the door, the decoration and furnishings in the house made Lin Ping speechless.
The whole house structure is ring-shaped.
The decoration on the first floor is all in a quaint style, with well-carved openwork screens, thick mahogany furniture, and gilded blankets on the floor. The decoration on the second floor is in a European classical style, with very elaborate design of door beams and guardrails, and many famous paintings hanging on the walls.
It seems that these two styles are incompatible, and after the clever transformation of the circular ladder, it makes this combination of Chinese and Western decoration seem unique.
At this moment, a group of people were sitting in the hall on the first floor, and when they saw Yu Cheng leading Lin Ping in, they all frowned.
Compared with these people here, Lin Ping is like a wild child from the countryside.
Dressed in cheap sportswear, kicking a pair of imitation sneakers, and a little dust sticking to his immature face, it is very inconsistent with the atmosphere here.
