Chapter 334 Righteousness
Qiu Huoming took another sip of the hot tea and said, "I have a master who taught me martial arts in Yangcheng. We are all family. I didn't know it was him at first..."
He leaned back in his chair comfortably, "It turns out this is what it feels like to have someone supporting you..."
Dean Zhou glanced at him and said, "Oh, are you blaming me for not being able to support you?"
Qiu Huoming grinned, "How could that be possible? I was just saying it casually. You've been very good to me. Who could have expected something like this?"
As the two were chatting, Chang Gong peeked in from the corridor.
Being caught by Dean Zhou, "Come in, what are you looking at..."
Chang Gong walked over quickly with a smile, stretched out his hand to drag the chair by the wall to the desk, and sat next to Qiu Huoming.
He glanced at Qiu Huoming and said, "You are very famous now. Everyone in our factory is talking about you..."
"That scene yesterday, wow..." There was still some excitement on Chang Gong's face.
Qiu Huoming quickly interrupted him and said, "Uncle Chang, have you rented the warehouse?"
Chang Gong slapped his thigh and said, "That's right, I rented it yesterday. When I came back here, I saw a group of people talking about it..."
"Unfortunately, I didn't see the general when he came..." He looked at Qiu Huoming regretfully, then lowered his voice and asked, "Find a chance to take me to see it?"
Dean Zhou threw a document over and said, "What are you thinking about? Just do your job well and don't think about anything else. Is he someone you can meet?"
Chang Gong touched the back of his head and said, "I just said that. If it's not possible, then it's not possible. Anyway, I can brag about this for half a year. Hey, Huo Ming, let's go. I'll take you to the warehouse to have a look..."
Qiu Huoming stood up in an instant and said, "Okay, let's take a look."
Dean Zhou ordered: "Keep a low profile recently. If you do anything weird again, I'll hold you accountable..."
Chang Gong turned around and said with a smile: "We have a plan..."
Qiu Huoming followed Chang Gong out of the door.
The warehouse is inside the factory and is numbered. Because the space is large, a lot of space is empty, which just happens to be a bargain for Qiu Huoming.
All warehouses are high-rise. The one that Chang Gong chose has ready-made shelves and the entrance is 30 centimeters higher than the outside, so even if there is a heavy rain, the water will not flow back.
The shelves inside serve as the second layer of insurance; just don’t put anything in low places.
Qiu Huoming took a look around and was very satisfied.
"Uncle Chang, how much is it?"
Chang Gong smiled and said, "No money."
The warehouse here is guarded, so it's safe.
Qiu Huoming was stunned, "It's not appropriate not to ask for money."
"It's an extra warehouse, and it's not open to the public. You're one of us, of course, thanks to Dean Zhou. I mentioned it to him yesterday, and he signed a guarantee for you..."
Qiu Huoming rubbed his hands and said, "President Zhou, how can I be so embarrassed..."
Chang Gong turned around and locked the door of the warehouse, then threw the key to Qiu Huoming, "What's there to be embarrassed about? Isn't it the leader who has to be there at the critical moment..."
This idea is very simple. Qiu Huoming took the key and put it into his backpack.
The next step was easy. He had to go to the museum to find Director Fu and get the calligraphy and paintings as soon as possible.
Just as I returned to the dean's office with Chang Gong, I heard the phone ringing.
Dean Zhou answered the phone. He looked up at Qiu Huoming and then ordered on the phone: "Well, let them in."
After hanging up the phone, he raised the corners of his mouth, "Two girls are outside the door to see you. I never knew, Huo Ming, that you are so popular with the opposite sex?"
Chang Gong reached out and patted Qiu Huoming on the shoulder, "You are a good-looking young man, but you can't act like a hooligan to a woman!"
Qiu Huoming was embarrassed and did not even bother to explain. He went to the window and looked out.
He guessed who it was. It must be Tang Xiaotang who knew about the museum and went to find Gu Xiaoran. Gu Xiaoran knew he was here, so he brought Tang Xiaotang to find him.
Sure enough, two familiar figures gradually approached downstairs.
Qiu Huoming turned around quickly, "Uncle Zhou, I'll go down and pick them up..."
Before Dean Zhou could respond, he had already disappeared.
Dean Zhou put down the information in his hand and leaned back, "Young man..."
Chang Gong touched his chin and said, "This reminds me of when I was young. Unfortunately, I didn't look good. I went on several blind dates, but no one liked me..."
Dean Zhou glanced at Chang Gong's appearance and asked, "So shabby?"
Chang Gong sighed, "I always go after the prettiest girls. Those who like me, I don't like them, and those I like, don't like me..."
"Later, I had to coax and trick my lover into marrying him..."
Chang Gong was in the middle of a conversation when Qiu Huoming's voice was heard from the corridor.
"I'm fine. Don't blame Director Fu. He can't help himself..."
A girl's voice came, "But I can't sell you out. You saved them from danger, but he turned around and sold you out. It's so unkind and unjust. I won't pay any attention to him anymore."
Another gentle voice sounded, "This kind of thing can't be kept secret. Fortunately, nothing happened... He told you about it last night, which proves that he still cares about you..."
"Okay, just don't blame him..."
At this moment, Qiu Huoming had already come over with two girls who were a little too pretty.
Dean Zhou stood up and asked them to sit down.
This office looked like his own. He glanced at Qiu Huoming and felt that it was more like he was working for him now...
Just looking at it makes me angry.
Dean Zhou reached out and gathered the documents on the desk, holding them in his hand, "Old Chang, let's go, let's have a meeting..."
Chang Gong responded.
Dean Zhou passed by Qiu Huoming and said, "Remember to close the door when you leave..."
After they left, Gu Xiaoran asked in a low voice: "He is the Dean Zhou you mentioned. He is a very kind person..."
Tang Xiaotang was probably in a hurry, with her curly hair draped over her shoulders unrestrainedly, looking wild and unruly.
The other person was a stranger to her, but she was still considerate of her. This girl has a very loyal side to her character.
Gu Xiaoran has a good eye for making friends.
Since Dean Zhou was not there, Qiu Huoming familiarly made a cup of tea for each of the two girls, and the three of them sat on the benches and chatted.
"Come on, Huozi, tell us how you solved the problem?" Gu Xiaoran couldn't help asking when he saw that he was unharmed.
"...Yesterday, that person first tried to trick me into going to his workplace. I refused, so he went back to the workplace and got a document, and brought a bunch of colleagues with him. They were fully armed and looked scary..."
Qiu Huoming exaggerated what happened yesterday.
He was a very good talker, and with his exaggeration, the whole thing became very dramatic, and the two girls who were listening to him became nervous.
Finally, we have come to the end.
"The scene was surprisingly quiet, with only the general and his guards walking quietly..."
"I recognized him right away..."
Qiu Huoming told the story of how he recognized his grandfather, and continued until he followed their car and left...
Gu Xiaoran finally breathed a sigh of relief. She reached out and patted Qiu Huoming on the shoulder, "Huozi, you have a very noble fate... You can even encounter such things."
"It's a pity that I wasn't here yesterday. When I think of this scene, I feel..." Tang Xiaotang said, "I feel it's really enjoyable..."
She grinned, "Well, since you're okay, I have to go back. The store hasn't been open for the past two days. If I keep going like this, I won't have enough to eat."
Qiu Huoming looked at his watch. It was not yet noon and he was also going to go see Director Fu.
He stood up with them and said, "There is no rush. I will treat you to lunch at noon. After lunch, accompany me to find Director Fu. We need to take away those calligraphy and paintings..."
Qiu Huoming glanced at Tang Xiaotang and said, "Many of the books you have are ancient books. My uncle has always loved books. Please sort them out. I want all of them. Put them in the warehouse together. When I come back from abroad, I will find someone to transport them to Yangcheng..."
Tang Xiaotang looked at him suspiciously, "You're not sympathizing with me and deliberately giving me business, are you?"
Gu Xiaoran shook his head. "Huozi is not that kind of person. I have heard of his uncle. He is my senior. He is indeed a person who likes ancient books..."
Qiu Huoming had mentioned Lao Jin in his previous letter to her. Lao Jin was also a prominent figure in the past. If you ask the old people who are still in Tsinghua University, some of them may know him.
Tang Xiaotang finally let go of her worries. "That's great. I'll accompany you to see Director Fu first, and then go back to sort out the books. Does your uncle have any special preferences?"
Qiu Huoming held up a finger and said, "Ancient... the more ancient the better. I don't care about the type. Any type is fine."
Tang Xiaotang breathed a sigh of relief. The books in her bookstore had the word "ancient" in their names.
"Let's go." The three of them walked into the corridor, and Qiu Huoming closed the door of Dean Zhou's office with his backhand.
After going out the gate, several people went to take the bus.
"I'll treat you to something better at noon. How about we go have some roast duck?"
He had eaten it once last time and still couldn't forget it. The roast duck at that time was smoked with real fruit wood and was particularly fragrant.
"Okay, let's go eat Peking duck. I've been here for so long, but I've only eaten it once." Gu Xiaoran agreed without hesitation.
Seeing that she agreed, Tang Xiaotang also nodded, "Then I'll let you spend the money."
I originally wanted to give Qiu Huoming a warning today, but in the end, I not only got a business deal, but also a meal.
Tang Xiaotang has never liked being in debt, so this way, she always feels like she owes Qiu Huoming.
Next, the three of them went straight to Quanjude.
At noon, the place was almost full of people and the noise was deafening. There were several foreigners squatting by the stove with cameras, taking pictures of the scene when the food was taken out of the stove.
The three of them found an empty seat and ordered a roast duck, a pot of tea, and soup made from the duck bones, which was another dish.
This time, no one was fighting for it, so Qiu Huoming ate to his heart's content. He dipped the roast duck skin in sugar and put it in his mouth. The skin was crispy and melted in his mouth...
He and Gu Xiaoran both like sweet food and immediately praised the dish.
It was a whole roast duck, and the portion was big enough for three people to finish eating without even raising their heads.
The ducks at that time were also free-range, and their taste was far better than the fat ducks in farms in later generations.
Qiu Huoming even finished the soup of the duck bones, then he leaned back in his chair and touched his stomach, "Delicious, very delicious."
Gu Xiaoran pinched his arm and said, "It's over. It's a little thicker now..."
Tang Xiaotang reached out and touched her waist, "It's okay, your waist is still there."
The two of them were in a mess. Qiu Huoming was watching with curiosity. Gu Xiaoran looked like someone who was easy to get close to, but in fact, she was a very sensible person. It would take some time for her to consider her as a friend.
But her attitude towards Tang Xiaotang clearly showed that she treated her as a close friend.
A word popped into his mind, and then he put it out of his mind.
With the information explosion in later generations, as a senior internet addict, he also has a basic understanding of those fashionable words.
The corners of his mouth slightly raised. He had already bought the dishes when he ordered them. He put on his backpack and said, "Let's go. Let's go out for a walk and digest the food..."
"Let's buy some candied haws..." Gu Xiaoran held Tang Xiaotang's hand, she looked at Qiu Huoming and said, "I'll treat you guys..."
Tang Xiaotang responded with a smile, "I just like being with big guys like you."
When the three of them went out, they saw someone on the street carrying a straw rack with many candied haws on it.
Gu Xiaoran took the initiative to buy three candied haws.
Qiu Huoming took a bite and bit off the outer layer of sugar, revealing sour hawthorn inside, which tasted good.
He ate the whole string in one go.
The three of them walked slowly along the street toward the bus stop.
On the street in the afternoon, pedestrians all looked a bit lazy. The three of them were walking and chatting. They didn’t feel the leisure time at that time, but when they think about it later, they will probably miss it.
"I'm also risking my life to accompany you today. This week, I've skipped two days of classes. I promised to study hard..." Gu Xiaoran looked at Qiu Huoming with resentment, "You are a stumbling block on my road to growth..."
"Oh, you ate more than me just now..." Qiu Huoming said coldly.
"You're talking nonsense!" Gu Xiaoran exploded, "You're dazzled, I didn't eat much..."
Tang Xiaotang nodded, "I can testify that I didn't eat much, maybe only half a piece."
"Okay, you help Huozi to bully me..." Gu Xiaoran reached out to grab Tang Xiaotang.
The two men started fighting along the sidewalk.
Qiu Huoming put his hands in his pockets and let them make a fuss.
He was with that group of middle-aged people every day, and he really missed such lively and lovely young people...
Only when they reached the bus stop did the two of them calm down.
The car arrived after a while and three people got in. There were still a few seats in the back row, so the three people sat down separately.
There weren't many people at this stop. At the next stop, a few people who looked like gangsters got on. They opened their cotton coats to reveal the tights underneath. They were as thin as fishtails, but they looked good. Their hair hadn't been trimmed for a long time and was greasy, which made them look unclean.
Qiu Huoming took a glance and then looked away.
The men glanced around the carriage, and the leader patted the man sitting next to Gu Xiaoran, "Make way."
The man didn't dare to say anything and stood up silently.
The leader sat down, turned his head to look at Gu Xiaoran and asked, "You look familiar to me, have I seen you somewhere before?"
"Puchi." Tang Xiaotang laughed from the left rear.
She stood up holding the armrest, "Xiaoran, come and sit over here..."
Gu Xiaoran responded and stood up. "Move aside," she said to the leader.
He sat there without moving. "Why, I can't even talk? Then I can't move my feet either..."
As soon as she finished speaking, Tang Xiaotang had already walked over. She stretched out her foot and kicked the man hard, "Your foot can't move. I'll move it for you..."
The car continued to shake and move forward. The driver glanced at the rearview mirror. It was just a small conflict. He looked away and continued to steer the wheel and move forward.
Qiu Huoming has come over.
The leading man looked unhappy, but the one who beat him was a girl, so he couldn't get angry. He frowned, patted the footprints on his body, and winked at his men.
