Chapter 69 Old friends meet again
"Is this here?"
Zhang Tiandong glanced at it, frowned slightly, and then covered his nose in disgust.
"Why does it have such a strong sour smell?"
"I was born here and grew up here, what?" Li Xiaosang glanced at him with a nonchalant look.
Chen Qishou on the side stroked his forehead helplessly, then smiled and said:
"Okay, let's go in with Xiao Sang. Didn't Xiao Sang say he wanted to visit an old friend?"
Only then did Zhang Tiandong react belatedly and realized that he had said the wrong thing.
He quickly put on a smile:
"Xiao Sang, that's not what I meant."
Li Xiaosang ignored him and just strode forward, setting foot on this familiar land again.
She looked around and was a little confused. Many wooden houses in the shanty town seemed to have been rebuilt. What was going on?
But fortunately, most of the layout has not changed much, and it is still the familiar look.
Involuntarily, Li Xiaosang thought of that boy.
How is he now? Or is it the same as always?
Thinking about it, she sighed and said softly:
"Let's go see our old friends and ask if there are any traces of suspected cults."
Chen Qishou and Zhang Tiandong quickly followed, and the latter asked with a smile:
"By the way, Xiao Sang, have you ever been bullied here? I remember that you are an orphan. There will be intrigues and the like in a place like this, right? If someone has bullied you, it's a good time to come back."
Li Xiaosang interrupted calmly:
"No, I had a good life in the past. There were people who took care of me, people who cared about me, and people I liked."
Zhang Tiandong's expression suddenly froze.
After a moment, he forced a smile and said:
"It must be quite impressive to be liked by little Sangqian, right?"
"Um."
Li Xiaosang gave a rare nod and recalled:
"He, how should I put it, is a very clean boy. He is very different from here. He is like a green lotus growing in a mire. It's a pity that he is a little stubborn and unwilling to accept my help."
After a pause, she sighed softly:
"He probably still looks like that now. I believe he can definitely get ahead and reach high places. People like him will never be ordinary. It's just that he can no longer be by my side. After all, this is the past."
Zhang Tiandong breathed a sigh of relief and smiled:
"Xiao Sang, you are so outstanding. Although there may be other outstanding people here, they can't compare with you. Moreover, the headquarters has obviously changed its focus on you and your future recently."
While talking, the three of them stepped on the muddy ground and met the first person.
"Uncle Chen." Li Xiaosang nodded lightly as a greeting.
"You are..." Lao Chen pushed up his glasses and said in surprise: "Xiao Sang?? Are you back??"
"Well, come back and have a look." She said calmly: "How is it going here recently? How is your business?"
Old Chen looked at the girl in front of him, and then glanced at the two young men beside her with fear.
Immediately he said:
"Business has been pretty good recently. Mr. Lu comes to take care of my business almost every day. As for the shanty town, it's still the same, with no big changes. However, Wu Datong moved away a few days ago, saying he was going to the provincial capital."
"Brother Lu, is he Lu Xuan?"
Li Xiaosang ignored the second half of Lao Chen's words and said in surprise:
"He is finally willing to buy some snacks now? It seems that life has gotten better."
Old Chen was about to speak but stopped.
He wanted to say whether Mr. Lu was buying it for him, or for another girl who was as beautiful as a fairy, but thinking that Li Xiaosang seemed to have liked Mr. Lu, he never said it out loud.
Old Chen laughed and said:
"Xiao Sang, these two are..."
"Friends I met at Longque Technology."
Chen Qishou and Zhang Tiandong nodded lightly to the middle-aged man selling fried chestnuts with sugar and said hello, but they didn't seem to want to say anything more.
In their opinion, if it were not for Xiao Sang, this middle-aged man would never be able to come into contact with the class of himself and others in his life.
One sky and one earth.
Lao Chen shrank his neck at this time, and his expression was full of respect. He knew that this was a big shot from Longque Technology, and he must not offend him.
Li Xiaosang asked again:
"Lu Xuan. Is he still in that wooden house? Has he gone to school?"
"I went, I go every day." Lao Chen quickly replied.
"Where is he now?" Li Xiaosang asked softly: "I plan to see him when I come back this time."
Old Chen hesitated for a long time, pointed to the depths of the shanty town, and said:
"I saw Mr. Lu just now. He must have gone to visit old man Chu's grave. The old cemetery is still contracted to the big guys from Sakata Heavy Industries. However, the new cemetery is not far from the old cemetery. You can see it by walking over. arrive."
"Have there been anything strange happening around here recently? For example, someone has gone missing, or there are people with hoods coming and going?"
"I haven't heard much about it."
Hearing this, Li Xiaosang said no more, nodded again, and walked straight towards the depths of the shantytown, followed closely by the two young men.
Not long after, he passed by the old cemetery and glanced at the high fence built by Sakata Heavy Industries. Li Xiaosang looked towards the new cemetery not far away.
Sure enough, I saw that familiar figure.
"Lu Xuan." There were waves in her heart. Just when she was about to say hello loudly, she saw the beautiful figure next to the young man, and her expression suddenly froze.
Zhang Tiandong and Chen Qishou also followed her gaze and looked far away. They also saw Yan Jiangxue, with a look of astonishment flashing in their eyes.
How could such a stunning girl exist in a place like this?
I originally thought that Li Xiaosang was the only one, but the one over there is obviously much prettier!
Even Li Xiaosang himself felt a little ashamed of himself at this time.
In the distance, with Lu Xuan's current hearing ability, he could clearly hear the flapping wings of mosquitoes and flies a hundred meters away. Naturally, he also heard Li Xiaosang's call just now.
He looked sideways, was slightly startled, and then explained to Yan Jiangxue:
"It's an old friend from before."
Xiao Yan nodded lightly and spoke abruptly:
"Go say hello."
With that said, the two walked forward side by side.
"Xiao Sang." Lu Xuan greeted generously: "Why are you back?"
Li Xiaosang came to his senses and looked away from Yan Jiangxue with difficulty.
She stared at Lu Xuan for a long time and suddenly lost interest.
"Well, come back and see. Is this your new friend?"
On the side, Zhang Tiandong and Chen Qishou were also looking Lu Xuan up and down. Disdain flashed in the former's eyes. He was a pretty handsome young man, but that was it.
The clothes are simple, there is no aura of a practitioner on his body, and his energy and blood are mediocre.
Just an ordinary, ordinary person.
Lu Xuan nodded slightly at this time and said with a bright smile:
"Well, her name is Yan Jiangxue."
Li Xiaosang felt sour for no reason. Lu Xuan had never introduced himself to others so gently before.
She lowered her eyes and asked calmly:
"Oh, where is this sister from? Why have I never seen her in a shanty town?"
Yan Jiangxue returned to his cold expression at this time and nodded slightly:
"I'm from Shengjing, but my father's hometown is in the East China Sea, so I come here to go to school."
Shengjing?
Li Xiaosang and the other three were stunned for a moment. Is this a coincidence?
The headquarters of Longque Technology is also in Shengjing.
After thinking for a while, Li Xiaosang said:
"Two of my friends, Chen Qishou and Zhang Tiandong, both work at Longque Technology."
As she spoke, a touch of arrogance appeared on her face.
After meeting Yan Jiangxue, Li Xiaosang forgot his original intention of coming back for a visit, and became more competitive.
She didn't understand how she was any worse than this girl. Well, in terms of appearance, this girl might indeed be better.
But now, but now it’s different!
Lu Xuan laughed again at this time and introduced Yan Jiangxue:
"This is Li Xiaosang, my former friend."
After a pause, he lowered his eyelids, noticing the resentment on Li Xiaosang's face, and reminded him calmly:
"What a coincidence, Xiao Yan's family is also from Longque Technology."
Lu Xuan knew Li Xiaosang's temperament. Although it was not bad, it was not much better. If he got into trouble, it would be quite troublesome.
Sure enough, Li Xiaosang's momentum suddenly dropped a bit, and his expression became a little ugly:
"Is it also from Longque Technology? I've never seen it before."
"Which branch do you belong to?" Zhang Tiandong suddenly interrupted, supporting Li Xiaosang, and shouted to Yan Jiangxue: "It's really a fate, we are from the headquarters, where is your family?"
Yan Jiangxue was startled by the shout, and subconsciously held Lu Xuan's arm, making Li Xiaosang's eyelids twitch wildly.
After being silent for a long time, Xiao Yan was a little confused and said:
"Probably, it should be considered the headquarters."
"Should? It counts?" Before Li Xiaosang could speak, Zhang Tiandong sneered: "What's the position in the headquarters? Let us hear it? Maybe I even know him?"
He didn't believe what the two people in front of him said. Where in the world could such a coincidence come from?
Moreover, the headquarters involves too many things. Under the strict confidentiality system, how can it be possible for children to go to other remote cities to study?
Not even clerks!
Therefore, Zhang Tiandong directly concluded that the two people in front of him were telling lies.
Li Xiaosang and Chen Qishou also reacted at this time, their brows wrinkled slightly, and their expressions became much more indifferent.
At this time, Yan Jiangxue blinked, thought for a while, and answered honestly:
"In terms of my father's position."
"It's the chairman, right?"
