Little Fujin

Near the end of the period, many elective courses were over, and various final project papers were arranged, which made the students howl.

Lin Ruan had chosen economics. At that time, Meng Zhen told him that his family was in business, and choosing economics would help him in the future, so he pulled Lin Ruan to choose economics.In the end, Meng Zhen took a fancy to psychology again, and left Lin Ruan to choose psychology.

The professor of psychology is a very interesting white man, easy to talk to, Meng Zhen is not worried about himself at all.

Lin Ruan couldn't do it. His professor of economics was an English gentleman who seemed to be working for the government. He condescended to give two lectures every week, with the pride of being more noble than noble.

His concluding paper was only a very profound topic, and Lin Ruan's eyes were almost darkened.

It's the weekend again, the weather is fine, and the sun shines on the desk through the window.Lin Ruan sat on the stool, staring at the blank paper, helpless.

There was movement in the corridor, Lin Ruan walked over and looked around, just in time to see Shining coming out of Zhanxi's room.Shining saw Lin Ruan and asked, "What's the matter, is there something wrong?"

Lin Ruan went out and showed him the thesis topic.

After watching it, Shining smiled and said, "It's kind of interesting."

Lin Ruan smiled embarrassedly, "I don't understand."

"Normally, this is a very academic theory. It was short-lived about 30 or [-] years ago, and it has not been mentioned since then. The current economic theory basically has nothing to do with it."

"Then how should I write it? Or is there any reference book?"

Just as Shining was about to speak, the door behind him suddenly opened. Zhan Xi, wearing a light gray sweater, leaned against the door and looked at the two of them.

Lin Ruan stood upright, "Sir."

Shining looked at Zhan Xi, then at Lin Ruan, and said with a smile: "I don't know about these things either, you can ask Mr., he will definitely know."

After finishing speaking, Shining went downstairs.Standing alone at the door, Lin Ruan could only cast her eyes on Zhan Xi.

Zhan Xi glanced at the thesis topic in Lin Ruan's hands, and said in a calm voice, "Come in."

Lin Ruan walked into Zhanxi's room. He was no stranger to this room, even more familiar than his new room next door.

Zhan Xi wanted to tell Lin Ruan well, but Lin Ruan didn't have this idea. He sat cross-legged on the carpet, leaning on the coffee table, and memorized it hard, for fear of missing every word Zhan Xi said.

After talking for a while, Zhan Xi stopped, and Lin Ruan quietly raised his head to look at him, just in time to meet Zhan Xi's eyes looking at him.

"Don't understand?" Zhan Xi asked.

"I don't understand why you choose?"

"Meng Zhen chose it for me." Lin Ruan couldn't make a choice by himself.

Zhan Xi understood, he got up and took out a foreign book with a gilt cover from the bookshelf, and handed it to Lin Ruan, "This is the complete description of this theory."

Lin Ruan took the book, flipped through two pages, and planned to go back and read it carefully.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door of Zhanxi's room. It was Uncle Tong, who came to send Zhanxi the invitations from outsiders these days.

A thick stack of greeting cards was placed on the corner of the table. Lin Ruan looked at it twice, then lowered her head to flip through her book.

After Zhanxi and Tong Bo finished talking, Tong Bo went down.Zhanxi came back and sat down on the sofa again, not looking at the stack of greeting cards.

Lin Ruan was a little curious and asked, "Are these people doing business with Mr.?"

Zhan Xi nodded.

Lin Ruan asked again: "Sir, don't you see them?"

"no need."

"What about Mr.'s goods? Are they all sold in our own store?"

Zhan Xi also owns some shops, restaurants and teahouses, rice shops, pharmacies, car rental shops and jade shops, most of which are owned by his mother-in-law.

Zhan Xi smiled, stretched out his hand and touched Lin Ruan's head, along the back of his head until it fell on his neck, "The business they are doing with me is not ordinary foreign goods."

Lin Ruan thought for a while and realized, "Ammunition?"

Zhan Xi didn't answer if it was true, but just pinched the back of Lin Ruan's neck and asked him to read a book.

In the afternoon, Lin Ruan finished the thesis and went downstairs to help Ah Yue clean up the house.Shining brought back a gramophone, which was said to be the latest from Germany, and there was no second one in the entire Forty-Nine City.Ah Yue used it to play violin music. She said that listening to violin music on a warm winter afternoon gave her a lazy and decadent feeling.

Before the end of a violin piece, the feeling of laziness and decadence was broken.Suddenly there was a noisy sound outside, Lin Ruan looked through the window, and saw three or four guards blocking a few people in black suits and clashing at the door.

The men in black suits looked menacing. Behind them was a middle-aged man with a long coat, a hat, and a cane in his hand, looking this way.

Tong Bo heard the voice coming out, and as soon as he appeared, the conflict between those people stopped.I don't know what Tong Bo said to him, after a while, Tong Bo led those people in.

As soon as he entered the room, Tong Bo waved to Lin Ruan, and Lin Ruan approached, Tong Bo said: "There is a Mr. Wu who wants to discuss business with the master, you go and call the master."

"Yes." Lin Ruan went upstairs.Tong Bo invited the man to sit down and ordered him to serve tea. The rules were pretty good. Neither Tong Bo nor the servants who served him caused any disturbance due to the previous conflict, and they were very calm.

Lin Ruan pushed open the door of Zhan Xi's room, and Zhan Xi stood by the window, probably seeing what happened in the garden just now.

"Sir, do you want to go down?"

Zhan Xi put down the unfinished coffee, did not change clothes, still dressed in home clothes, and said, "Let's go."

Lin Ruan's heart was instantly settled.

Zhan Xi walked down the stairs unhurriedly, and Mr. Wu laughed heartily when he saw him, "Brother Zhan, long time no see!"

Zhanxi walked down the stairs, and only after she sat down on the sofa, she said, "I haven't seen you for a while."

Lin Ruan went to the kitchen to bring out a cup of tea, Zhan Xi took it, lowered his head and blew off the foam on the surface of the tea, "I heard that there is trouble in the south again, why does Mr. Wu have time to come here?"

Mr. Wu belongs to the southern warlord, and generally should not come here.

Mr. Wu paused, and said: "That's why I negotiated a business with you on behalf of my boss. Brother Zhan, you must be aware that the fleet you parked at the port of Jincheng is quite eye-catching." of."

"Those things," Zhan Xi wrote lightly: "This is not going back to China, so I brought back some foreign goods as a novelty."

"I've heard there's a lot of good stuff in there."

Zhan Xi nodded, "There are some good vintage wines, how many bottles shall I give you when Mr. Wu leaves?"

Mr. Wu's complexion fell, "It's boring to pretend to be confused. I'm talking about your ships of munitions!"

Zhan Xi raised his head and glanced at him, "Those boats have already been committed, it's not a coincidence that Mr. Wu came here."

"I can pay double the price!"

Zhan Xi smiled suddenly, "What people give is not money, but life. How many lives does Mr. Wu have?"

Mr. Wu's complexion turned ugly in an instant, "Zhanxi, don't be shameless!"

Almost as soon as his voice fell, the bodyguards behind him took out the guy, and pointed their black muzzles at Zhan Xi.

Zhan Xi lowered her head and took a sip of tea, then raised her eyes to look at Mr. Wu, as if she were looking at a clown.

"Yo! It's quite lively today!" A young voice suddenly came from outside, the door opened, and a handsome young officer walked in.Behind him, two rows of soldiers poured in like a stream of water, each of them was carrying on their business, surrounding Mr. Wu and his group of bodyguards.

Zhan Xi still sat on the sofa, taking it easy.

The leading officer was wearing a dark green military uniform, the metal buckle reflecting the cold light, and he was wearing a cloak, which brought the cold air into the room.

He walked to the sofa and sat down, Lin Ruan also served him tea, "Master Biao, please have some tea."

Mr. Wu's face was livid, "Gu...Young Marshal Gu, aren't you in Forty-Nine City?"

"Look at what you said, it's almost Chinese New Year. If I don't stay with the family, where else can I go?" Gu Ji crossed his legs, with a bit of arrogance, "Speaking of which, my father misses Mr. Wu very much, why don't you do me a favor?" , to talk about the old days?"

After all, Gu Ji raised his hand, and without waiting for Mr. Wu's answer, those soldiers immediately stepped forward and took Mr. Wu and his bodyguards away.

As soon as the person left, Gu Ji immediately put away his unruly demeanor. He looked at Zhan Xi and said, "How about it? It's better to come early than to be coincidental. It's a coincidence that I came here today!"

Gu Ji is the son of Marshal Gu, a northern warlord. His mother and Zhan Xi's mother-in-law are sisters, and they have always had a good relationship.After Zhanxi moved out of Prince Jin's mansion, Marshal Gu's family has been taking good care of him, and the relationship between the two families is very close.

Zhan Xi sneered and said, "I thought you didn't want those few boats."

"How can it be! As soon as I heard that you were back, I rushed back!" Gu Ji said with a smile: "Although I didn't come back, Jincheng has already sent someone to take over. I just wait for your call. My people will deliver the goods."

Zhan Xi raised her eyebrows, "You want something before you pay?"

"If I lose anyone's money, I won't lose yours!" Gu Ji waved his hand, and two soldiers came in carrying a box. The box opened, and there were neatly stacked gold bars.

Zhan Xi looked at it and nodded, and Tong Bo asked someone to carry the box away.

Gu Ji took off his gloves, picked up his teacup to drink tea, and said, "I see that you have parked so many boats at the port and brought back a lot of things."

Zhan Xi didn't go around in circles with him, "Just say what you want."

Scruples laughed, "Are there so many ships, are these the only ones that are munitions?"

Zhan Xi took a look, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Okay, there is progress."

Gu Ji smiled with the corners of his mouth hooked, a little flirtatious, "I knew it! Third brother, tell me honestly, what other treasures are there?"

Zhan Xi didn't say it clearly, but said: "I have everything you want here."

Gu Ji was overjoyed, "Third brother, you are really the first person I admire!"

"Don't be too busy to be happy," Zhan Xi said, "Do you have any spare money?"

Gu Ji chuckled twice, and said: "To tell you the truth, I just won a battle and grabbed a lot of land. During the negotiation, the other party agreed to redeem it with money. Isn't this rich?"

Scruples laughed, and Zhan Xi laughed too. The money would end up in Zhan Xi's pocket, so he had no reason to be unhappy.
