Chapter 51 [Suspicious]

Chapter 48【Suspicious behavior】

In mid-March, it rained in Jinling City, which meant the first spring rain in 2001.

In the days that followed, the weather became warmer day by day.

Chen Nuo began to skip class again.

He would show up at school every so often, sway around, and then disappear.

Sometimes it does not show up in the morning, and only comes to order a Mao in the afternoon.

Because of Lao Sun's relationship, teacher Wu, the head teacher, knew that Chen Nuo was working part-time, so he was extra tolerant to him.

Of course, there is also a reason. During the mid-term exam, Chen Nuo copied a good result again.

The grades are decent, and the family background is special.The combination of these two reasons is enough to make the teacher turn a blind eye to Chen Nuo's truancy behavior.

Anyway, No. [-] Middle School is not a key school.A student like Chen Nuo has a poor family background. He didn't study badly like the other bastards, and he could still have good grades. Part-time work... Then let's work part-time.

If you can't get into college, there is always a way out.

But in the eyes of Sun Keke and Li Yingwan, they felt that Chen Nuo's recent behavior was very suspicious.

During class, Sun Keke often peeked at Chen Nuo secretly and found that he was always writing and drawing there with a notebook.

I tried to take a sneak peek a few times during the recess, but he was strictly guarded.

Sun Keke always felt that this young man seemed to be secretly planning something, preparing something.

Sun Xiaohua even skipped class twice and went directly to Brother Lei's car dealership to find Chen Nuo.

As a result, it was empty twice.

Although Brother Lei was acting in front of Sun Xiaohua, he said that he sent Chen Nuo out to do some errands.

But Sun Keke always had some doubts...

Mainly, the bald-headed Lei Ge's attitude towards Chen Nuo was too polite.

It's not like the attitude of the boss to the little guy at all.

But Sun Keke had no way to ask more.

Brother Lei looked very busy.The original car dealership had more than doubled in size, and the shop next door also let him down, opening up the two shops.

There are also many brand new electric cars in the store.

The two times that Sun Keke went there, he happened to be running a promotional marketing campaign, and the business was quite hot.

The girl was shy. Seeing that Brother Lei was very busy, he didn't take up a lot of other people's time, so he could only leave in disappointment.

Sun Keke's idea is one thing.

And Li Yingwan's idea is another matter.

The long-legged girl regards Chen Nuo Ouba as the kind of superhero hidden in the world... It's no wonder that the scene of Chen Nuo falling from the sky in the previous encounter with the girl was too impressive.

In Li Yingwan's view, the superhero Oppa may be planning a secret operation... Maybe it's the kind that defeats the big devil and saves the world.

Well, in fact, at this age, the second year is not only a teenager, sometimes a girl will also be a second.

clap clap.

Sun Keke, who was watching cartoons with Chen Xiaoye in the living room, turned to look at the door.

Chen Nuo got out of the kitchen, rolled up his sleeves, and opened the door with his wet hands.

Sun Keke looked a little surprised.

In the crack of the door, standing outside the door is clearly a bald head.

Brother Lei's image is really recognizable.

"Why are you here so late?" Chen Nuo smiled.

Brother Lei smiled and took out a kraft paper file bag from his arms, a bulging stack, and stuffed it into Chen Nuo: "I just got it this afternoon, I'm afraid you will be in a hurry, so I will send it first."

Chen Nuo took the envelope, held it in his hand and didn't open it, nodded: "Thank you for your hard work."

"That's what I said! It's not hard, it's not hard!" Brother Lei secretly glanced at the door, just saw Sun Xiaohua sitting in the living room, and immediately dismissed the idea of ​​entering the door.

Look, or say Lei Ge is sensible.

Chen Nuo understood the smile in Brother Lei's eyes, but without explaining, he stepped out of the door and closed the door with his backhand.

"Everything is ready. It's all done by professional people and prepared according to your list. It has been sent out today. When you arrive at the place, you can just sign for it."

"Well." Chen Nuo nodded steadily, then glanced at Brother Lei again: "Is the store okay recently? That Li Qingshan..."

"No, that old boy didn't do anything... I heard that last time, after a short dip in the water, the old boy fell ill with pneumonia and almost died. Hahaha! At his age, he deserves it. It's been honest recently."

Chen Nuo nodded: "If you have anything, you can call me."

Brother Lei laughed a few times, then found a conversation and left.

Chen Nuo turned around and entered the room, and saw Sun Xiaohua in the living room looking up at him.

"Why do I think you are hiding something from me?"

Chen Nuo smiled: "What do you mean by hiding?"

He came over, sat on the sofa in the living room, grabbed Chen Xiaoye, put it on his lap and hugged it, and gently scratched the little girl's nose.

Chen Xiaoye was a little itchy and laughed.

Chen Nuo put her down again and rubbed the little girl's hair: "Go wash your hands and prepare for dinner."

Seeing the little girl jumping away, Chen Nuo turned to look at Sun Xiaohua: "Well, I have something to tell you."

"...What?" Sun Xiaohua was a little surprised.

"I'll go out of town in a while, for three or four days."

"Ah?" Sun Xiaohua was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted: "What are you doing out of town? Where are you going? Are you going to skip class again?"

"On business trip."

Chen Nuo lied without blinking his eyelids: "Brother Lei bought a batch of cars in the store, and negotiated a deal with the manufacturer. I went on a business trip with me, which is also considered to be learning the process and how to do things in the future."

"..."

Sun Keke hesitated.

I feel something is wrong with this.But if you think about it carefully, you don't know what's wrong.

Chen Nuo was busy working and skipping school on weekdays, and it seemed like he didn't plan to go to university.And he now has a younger sister to support.

According to this, there is nothing wrong with focusing more on work now.

But...but I always felt that something was wrong.

Chen Nuo said slowly: "It just happened that I was out on a business trip for a few days and crossed over a weekend. Xiaoye Ye Kindergarten doesn't have classes on weekends. Can you help me take care of her for two days?"

"When are you leaving?"

"next Friday."

"Ah?" The girl calculated the days in her heart, and hesitated for a while: "Then when will you come back?"

"Three or four days, I'll go on Friday, and after a weekend, I'll be back on Tuesday or so the following week."

Sun Keke was relieved. She sighed and blushed: "Okay, I... I'll go home and tell my dad, it should be no problem. I'll pick up Ye Zi and go home next Friday."

In fact, Sun Keke had something hidden in his heart that he didn't say.

Back on Tuesday...that should catch up.

Because that Wednesday was March 25th—Sun Xiaohua’s birthday.

Well, according to Jinling's algorithm, after this birthday, Sun Xiaohua will be full.

Thinking of this, the girl's face was burning, but she suddenly saw the kraft paper file bag on the table: "What is this?"

"Oh, the customer's manufacturer's information." Chen Nuo waved his hand, picked up the document bag, turned around, and went into the back room. After a while, when he came out, he greeted Sun Keke: "Come, let's have dinner, I'll take you back after dinner."

Nov. 2001, 3

Around four in the evening.

The capital of Nepal, Kathmandu.

Kathmandu in 2001, a dilapidated and dirty look.

The streets are narrow and the buildings are low... In this era, apart from the temples in the tourist attractions, the whole of Kathmandu actually looks like a huge slum.

Sure, 20 years later it's slightly better, but it's about the same.

On the narrow streets, there are many pedestrians, and most of the locals wear brown and gray.Dilapidated motor vehicles and motorcycles shuttled through the crowded and narrow streets, making constant beeping sounds.

The air was filled with acrid exhaust fumes and dust.

Many locals use cloth like scarves to cover their faces, mouth and nose.

Dirty-clad children run and play in the streets, and some simply go barefoot.

Just such a place, 20 years later, some people pretending to be literary and artistic on the Internet declared it the city with the highest happiness index in the world.

In such a shabby place, garbage dumps can be seen everywhere in the streets and alleys, narrow streets, dilapidated houses, and the wire racks on the poles at the intersection are like honeycombs.

Residents are dressed in dirty clothes, and Huaguo County in the 80s is better than it by more than 01:30.

There are also suspicious-looking people in the alley, selling you some kind of leaf at any time...

Is this what he calls one of the highest happiness indices in the world?

It's all advertising advertisments made by a group of guys who are engaged in tourism marketing, coaxing those brainless literary and artistic youths to go on a pilgrimage to the poor.

In front of a hotel called Casa Mandap.

The brown and red brick building is a typical British colonial style.The four-story building looked dilapidated.The handmade carpet on the ground in front of the hotel has been stepped on so that the original color cannot be seen.

In the narrow lobby, behind a wooden counter table with copper inlaid corners, the front desk, who was wearing an obviously ill-fitting uniform, was in a daze. ,
There was a jingle, and the door was pushed open.

A figure swayed to the front desk.

"Check in, I have a reservation."

Standard British English.

The front desk raised his head and glanced lazily at the guest.

He is of medium build, has short hair, and is wearing a black jacket with a scarf wrapped around his face.

The guest slowly took off the scarf around his neck, revealing that his mouth and nose were blocked.

There was also some dust on his face, and it was obvious that the color of the skin below the eyes was different from that above.

Chen Nuo smiled slightly, showing his snow-white teeth, took out his passport and a stack of US dollars from his jacket pocket and put them on the counter.

"Give me a room with 24-hour hot water. Also, send me a dinner, no local food, just get some bread, Western-style."

Kathmandu in 2001, if we must make a similar analogy, it is actually very similar to the three kingdoms.

Well, the mess is almost a mold.

So is the food.

In this day and age, if you dare to eat local food, just wait for diarrhea to become dehydrated.

The front desk clerk went through the formalities lazily, and then threw a key on the table.

Chen Nuo thought for a while, then took out ten dollars and put it on the table: "I have some things that were mailed to me here. You can check it for me. If it is delivered, please help me deliver it to my room."

The green dollar bills instantly made the waiter spirited up.
