Chapter 703: Departure to the suburbs
The next morning, I got up from bed to wash and get dressed, and last night I had already texted Li Meiyan to say that she promised to come next, she said that she would come to pick me up in the morning, and after breakfast, she was waiting for her at the door.
Unlike yesterday's Ferrari, today's car is a more business Mercedes-Benz, and I wonder if I have to get a car too, so it seems to have more status!
I simply took some things, put them in my backpack, said hello to Long Long, and got straight into her car. ”
"Qiming, you got up very early this time, are you waiting for me to come?" As soon as she closed the car door, Li Meiyan said to me very ambiguously, which made me extremely uncomfortable.
I smiled awkwardly but politely and didn't say anything.
When she saw that I didn't have the heart to joke with her, she just threw me a check, and when I picked it up and saw that it was a denomination of 100,000 yuan, she wondered, "You must think that I can solve such a thing?
Li Meiyan didn't understand my words, so she asked: "Isn't this the rule of your firm? After accepting the commission, I should give you a deposit of 100,000 yuan, and I will give you the rest when you solve the matter!"
When I heard this, I held my forehead with one hand, and screamed in my heart that I was confused, this is indeed the rule I set, and I forgot it.
"Haha, I forgot it myself, but I didn't expect you to remember it so clearly. I laughed and said I could only take this as an unintentional mistake.
After being silent for a while, Li Meiyan said to me, "This time our destination is the suburbs of Kyoto, and if there is no traffic jam, it will take about an hour to drive." ”
I quipped, "It's up to you, as long as you don't buy me into that ravine, I'm not worth a penny." ”
said this in a joking mentality, who knew that she suddenly responded very seriously: "Then you make a price, I will support you?"
Suddenly I was messy, and I didn't know what to say for a while.
"Haha, I'm talking about playing, look at you nervously, I won't sell you, because I'm reluctant, hehe!" Seeing that I was very embarrassed, Li Meiyan laughed and immediately explained.
But such an explanation makes my mind even more calm!
I really couldn't bear her offensive, and the successive critical hits made my head clouded.
......
This is how the trip began, indeed as Li Meiyan said that it took less than an hour to arrive, and I also witnessed the prosperity of Kyoto to the gradual desolation, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, it was really hard to believe that both places were in Kyoto, and in such a developed city, there was such a remote place, it was simply forgotten by the city government.
After arriving at the place, Li Meiyan found a relatively spacious place to park the car, and then introduced me like a tour guide: "This is the old town of Kyoto, in fact, it used to be very lively, but the focus of the city government gradually put on the development zone, so it was selectively abandoned, but it also formed a unique style, a bit like a small town and a village." ”
Indeed, I feel like she said, about 100 meters away from a house, the space is quite open, but it feels very desolate, there are not many houses here, and the rest of the houses look very dilapidated
Then she led me to one of the houses, and she knocked on the door outside, and soon there was a voice in the house that responded, "Who, who are you looking for?"
It's a middle-aged woman's voice!
"May I ask if this is Li Guang's home?" Li Meiyan immediately asked, I am a little strange, who is this Li Guang? It may have sensed my doubts, so he motioned for me not to speak yet.
Under Li Meiyan's words, the door was soon opened, and a woman who was dressed simply and looked haggard came out, looked at me and Li Meiyan a few times, and said a little strangely: "Who are you? What is the relationship between you and my man Li Guang? Where is he now?"
A series of questions made me understand that it seems that she hasn't seen Li Guang for a long time!
"Oh, that's right, we are Li Guang's colleagues, Li Guang has something to do, so please come to our house and bring you something. Li Meiyan replied naturally, and after speaking, she also lifted the bag in her hand.
Her voice was gentle, and I knew it was to dispel the woman's defensiveness and make her not so nervous.
"Li Guang's colleague, where is he now, I want to contact him, tell him that the child is dying, and the family is running out of money to eat, so let him quickly think of a way." ”
As soon as the woman heard Li Meiyan's words, her eyes immediately turned red, she opened the door excitedly, and hurriedly asked.
Although I don't know exactly what's going on, I don't think I'll be able to come back to this Li Guang.
"Oh, that's right, what we do is relatively confidential, and we can't contact our family for the time being until we finish it, but I believe it won't be long before he can come back, Li Guangzheng knows that the situation at home is urgent, so he asks the two of us to come to the house to have a look. Seeing this, Li Meiyan hurriedly reassured, but I knew that this was a white lie.
"Oh, that's the case, then come in, let's go into the house and say!" Hearing Li Meiyan's words, the woman also accepted this statement, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and hurriedly welcomed the two of us into the house.
"Hello, can you tell us more about what kind of work you do? Li Guang went out from home a year ago, saying that he wanted to work to earn money to improve the environment at home, but since then he has lost contact, although money has been sent every month, but there is no message. ”
"I don't even know what his situation is, and I want to go out to look for him, but I can't leave the sick child behind, so I want to know what kind of work Li Guang is doing, so that he can't send news to the family?" asked the woman as she led me into the house, beckoned us to sit down, and poured water into it.
"Actually, it's nothing, it's just some national construction projects, which can't be disclosed to the outside world for the time being, and the location of the work is often changed, even if you call to tell it, it's useless, the only benefit is that the treatment is better, which is also the reason why Li Guang is willing to stick to it, eldest sister, you can rest on your side, and after you finish it, you can rest for a while, and he will definitely come back to see you when the time comes." Li Meiyan prevaricated the woman's question with a calm face.
