Extra three: Zhang Zimo (1)

A flight to London at three o'clock in the morning, there were not many passengers, and the sparse seats allowed Su Yue to see a passenger in the southwest corner of him at a glance.

He was thin at the shoulders, looked long, and wore a blue-gray robe, with a neatly buttoned at the top of his stand-up collar, and his fingers were slender and white on the chair frame.

Su Yue's ten-year career as a journalist quickly determined that this was a scholar, perhaps a teacher at a certain school, and he had a calm demeanor as a teacher.

The journey was lonely, Su Yue was writing a biography of a master of Chinese studies, and it might be helpful to talk to this scholar.

Thinking about it, Su Yue got up, moved to the scholar's side and sat down, and greeted him with a smile.

The man rolled his eyes, there was a faint scar on the tip of his eyebrows, four or five centimeters long, but it did not affect his smile calmly and gently, and asked Su Yue in a non-standard official language: "Is there something wrong with Mr." ”

Listening to his accent, Su Yue was slightly stunned, and then asked him in Yuzhou dialect: "Mr. is from Yuzhou?" Su Yue's parents are also from Yuzhou. His parents went abroad to study, and he was fostered at his maternal grandfather's house until he was 12 years old, when his parents returned to China, and he followed his parents out of Yuzhou and into Shanghai, then to Singapore, then to England, and then back to China.

The childhood memory is the deepest, Su Yue speaks fluent Yuzhou dialect.

The man was not the slightest surprised, nodded indifferently, and then replied in Yuzhou dialect: "It turned out to be a fellow ......."

Yuzhou people?

Su Yue's ten-year career as a journalist has made him a treasure of Yuzhou celebrities. But there is a famous figure who has never had a chance to meet, that is, Zhang Zimo, a gangster giant who spans the three worlds of military, politics and business.

Su Yu saw that this man was about forty years old, and he was elegant and elegant, and remembered that others mentioned Zhang Zimo, saying that he was always dressed in a Confucian shirt, thin, and graceful. Like a reader.

The corners of Su Yue's eyes jumped, could he really have such good luck to meet Mr. Zhang by chance?

He asked, "Are you a professor?" ”

The man shook his head: "Teaching and educating people is a vocation, and a certain talent is shallow and unbearable...... Just start a small business on your own and support your family. ”

Seeing that he refused to reveal, Su Yue was a little disappointed. A man with such a temperament is definitely not a simple businessman. But he couldn't be sure that the other party was Zhang Zimo. The national hero who devoted his family fortune to support the country's resistance against Japan, the gangster giant on the prominent side, he is a complex man with many stories.

A lot of journalists wanted to interview him.

Helplessly, Ji Mansion has a strict curfew, and Zhang Zimo is low-key. He doesn't accept any visits other than his close friends.

Zhang Zimo used to be the son-in-law of Ji Linglong's head in the Haiyan Gang, for so many years, he has kept a low profile and refused to move out of the Ji Mansion, and even his second son is surnamed Ji and respects Ji Longtou.

His wife's brothers either surrendered to Zhang Zimo or were killed. In fact, he felt sorry for his wife and Ji Linglonglong, so he let his second son have the surname Ji?

Su Yue thought for a while and said with a smile: "I am a journalist, and I have been in the Northwest Battlefield a few years ago. That year, war readiness materials were in short supply, and the people at the front donated money and materials, especially a Mr. Zhang from Yuzhou, who contributed to the frontline materials and spirit. The whole nation is grateful to him. Mr. is also from Yuzhou, have you met Mr. Zhang Zimo? I have lived in Yuzhou since I was a child, and it has always been a pity that there is such a person who is a fellow countryman, but I did not have the opportunity to be interviewed......"

The man shook his head indifferently: "He is an amazing person, and I admire him very much!" ”

Listening to this tone, it seems that it is really not Zhang Zimo!

Su Yue felt very disappointed, and he began to introduce the topic to Chinese studies. I found that this gentleman was very knowledgeable, learned both Chinese and Western, and was a very cultivated literati.

Su Yue was even more sure that he was not Zhang Zimo.

Zhang Zimo, who had only been in private school for half a year, came out to beg for a living, and was illiterate; Later it dried. It is also a business of killing people and overselling goods, no matter how much you cover it up, you can't hide the evil spirit on your body. This man is not as knowledgeable as Su Yue, and he can even be called everyone in the Chinese academic circles, and he talks slowly, and he does not have the momentum of a gangster tycoon at all.

Su Yue admired his knowledge more and more, and finally remembered that he forgot to ask the other party's name: "Sir, what is your surname?" In the Lower Su Viet ......."

"Exempt from your surname." That's humane.

Su Yue smiled indifferently: "Mr. Zhang, a conversation with you is better than reading a book for ten years, and your knowledge is indeed a leader in the domestic academic circles...... Are you teaching in Yuzhou? ”

The man laughed.

Su Yue found that his smile was very kind and kind, and he also remembered that people had said that he was not a teacher, but just a businessman.

became more and more unwilling, Su Yue always felt that this person should be a person with a story, but the other party was too calm, and he didn't reveal any private matters between his words, which made it difficult for him to ask.

When the plane arrived in London, Su Yue shook hands with him and said goodbye.

"Are you traveling for business or visiting friends?" Su Yue was still unwilling, and wanted to know more about this seemingly simple but mysterious person, "My father is also from Yuzhou, and he is now living in London, if you are on a business trip, why don't you settle down in the cold house?" ”

The man's expression was a little stunned: "I'm here to attend a friend's funeral......"

Su Yue was slightly stunned, and then he couldn't say more.

Back at home, his father told Su Yue that Bai Yungui's aunt had died of illness and that they were going to attend the funeral tomorrow.

The Su family and the Bai family are close neighbors in Singapore, and Su Yue is older than Bai Qingge and Bai Suyo, but he is always haunted by those two little ghosts.

Back then, Bai Yungui's uncle shouted "Su Yue, Su Yue", Su Yue happened to hear it, so he asked him, shouting what he was doing, Bai Yungui was slightly stunned, only to know that Su Yue and Su Yue's names were very similar, so they knew each other.

is from Yuzhou again, and he came to Singapore to do business, and he lives close, and the two families have some friendship.

However, in the early years, Su Yue's parents moved to the United Kingdom, where they studied and they have more affection for Britain than Singapore.

When the war broke out, the Bai family moved to England, and it was only half a year later that Bai Qingge contacted Su Yue's father.

At that time, Su Yue was already on the battlefield.

Su Yue remembered the Mr. Zhang he met on the plane, he was attending a friend's funeral, could it be so coincidental that he also came to attend Aunt Bai Murong's funeral?

"You can also go and say goodbye to your aunt......" Su Mu said to Su Yue, "Su Yue is also back......

Su Yue didn't notice the latter sentence, just bowed his head. For Suyo, Su's father and mother are extremely fond of Suyo, but unfortunately Suyo is eight years younger than their son. Now, the son is not married, and Su Yue is not married, in fact, it is not a good family business.

Su Yue didn't think about it like this.

In his memory, Su Yue is Su Yue, just that little yellow-haired girl, some clever, some black-bellied, and not related to women!

He went to the funeral of Bai Murong Painting Building.

As a result, he saw Mr. Zhang at the funeral as he wished.
