Chapter 129

Yan's villa.

Lu Xiaoran's third uncle came back from Country M, and only brought back a magazine.

"People know that you are going to publish in their journals, and they are very happy. The process goes very quickly. The review passed the second day after you left, and it was printed on the third day."

Although I encountered a little unpleasantness in country M, the subsequent cooperation was quite satisfactory.

Although the later magazine was not as famous as the one at the beginning, but compared to the kind of research institute that has a higher eye than the top, engages in racial discrimination, and even engages in national discrimination, even if it is not published in their magazine, it is not a pity. .

In fact, Yan Shaochen didn't care which journal it was published in. These things were always handled by Lu Sanshu.

So Uncle Lu said a lot, but only changed the word "hard work" which was a bit perfunctory.

"By the way, you suddenly said you were going to leave that day, what did you do?" He didn't think Yan Shaochen had any urgent matters to deal with.

He is now a nominal high school student. He usually either attends classes at school or plays with the dog at home. The research room under the villa is almost full of hair, and I haven't seen him go there a few times.

"It's nothing, I've been playing for two days." In Yan Shaochen's eyes, the two-day melee with guns was no different from playing.

Uncle Lu heard him say that he went to play, but he didn't go any further. "Let's have dinner together at night. Every time I go back to country M, I lose a few catties of my weight. It's really a pain."

He has a Chinese stomach, and he is not used to eating those things abroad.

"Well, what do you want to eat?" Yan Shaochen asked.

"Hot pot, the focus is on the taste, it will cleanse my stomach after eating a lot of foreign dishes in the past few days."

Yan Shaochen nodded.

He usually doesn't eat outside, and the food is light, but when Uncle Lu comes back, he won't be so disappointed.

After speaking, Third Uncle Lu went upstairs to the guest room to catch up on sleep, and Yan Shaochen led Strawberry out for a run.

It was still early at this time, but there was already a sweltering heat in the air.

Strawberry was not in the mood either, sticking out her tongue, followed Yan Shaoqiang, walking unsteadily.

After wandering around the villa area twice, it took more than half an hour before one person and one dog walked back.

When passing by the entrance of Si's villa, he saw Si Jinxi in pajamas talking to a man.

With his back to him, he couldn't see his face clearly, but his back was thin and his back was a little hunched, making him feel a little wretched.

The two of them were not in the courtyard, but in the corner of the courtyard entrance, as if they were worried about being seen.

Being far away, I couldn't hear what the two said, but I could see the impatience on Si Jinxi's face.

Yan Shaochen was not interested in the affairs of the Si family, so he glanced at it and prepared to take Strawberry home.

However, the man's voice suddenly rose, and he seemed to hear Si Jinyan being mentioned.

He didn't directly say Si Jinyan's name, but said Si Jinxi's cheap younger sister.

Except for Si Jinyan, don't do what he thinks.

Yan Shaoqiang stopped in his tracks.

Strawberry, who wanted to go home quickly to turn on the air conditioner, saw that Yan Shaochen had not moved, and looked at him suspiciously, and whimpered, as if asking him why he didn't leave.

Yan Shaochen raised his hand in a booing gesture.

Strawberry didn't know what Yan Shaochen was going to do, and thought he was playing around with it, but he was drooping just now, but now his tail was wagging cheerfully, and that big face seemed to be smiling, and the naked eye could see the joy.

Holding the strawberry and standing still behind the big tree in the green belt, the voices of Si Jinxi and the man became clearer.

".I know you want to cross the river and demolish the bridge, but do you think it's enough to find a lawyer to talk to me and give me a little comfort money? Although you haven't been in Fucheng for the past two years, you asked me to help you with those things. Is there still less?"

"Could it be that you think you can stay out of the matter with an encrypted mobile phone that can't be found out? Let me tell you, if you want to cross the river and tear down the bridge, it's not that easy!"

The man lowered his voice to speak, obviously he didn't want to make this matter a big deal.

It shows what else he wants from Si Jinxi.

Listening to what he said about what he had done for Si Jinxi in the past two years, Yan Shaochen's face was as calm as before, but his hand holding the strawberry rope gradually tightened.

Si Jinxi is worth it in Fucheng. She is not at ease when she goes abroad. The person she wants to deal with can be known without even thinking about it.

Yan Shaochen didn't expect her to be so vicious.

I'm afraid this kind of method is often used on Si Jinyan, but she has never heard it mentioned.

Yan Shaochen lowered his eyes, his brows suddenly became dull, and the corners of his raised lips no longer felt like the spring breeze turned into rain, but was colder than the temperature in the cold winter months.

"You don't want to be cheap and act good! We have cooperated with each other these years. Didn't I pay you for doing things for me? Don't say it now as if you have been wronged so much!"

"It's because you didn't handle these matters well, but now that it's happened to me, you still have the face to come to the door several times. Do you really think that I'm concerned about the reputation of the Si family, so I don't take you Is there a solution?" Si Jinxi kept a cold face, as if he didn't take the man's threats seriously.

The man sneered, "What does your Si family want to do? Naturally, you have a way to deal with me. However, if you really don't want what I have, I don't mind giving it to the major media for them to take a look. At that time, there was such a big scandal in the Si family, and the stock price fluctuated, how much loss would you say then?"

"If your father knew that you caused all this, what do you think he would do? And your grandma, she loves you, but I heard that she values ​​your Si family's business more than her own life , do you think that because of you, the Si family suffered a huge loss, will she still love you as always?"

"What's more, you have a 'sister' who is much better than you!" The word "sister" obviously has a strong tone, and the insinuation is full of irony.

The previous words didn't have much impact on Si Jinxi, but that sentence was much better than her, making Si Jinxi instantly look like a cat whose tail was stepped on, and it almost made her lose her mind.

Finally endured it.

"How much do you want?" Si Jinxi asked after holding back.

"500 million, everything from the past and the present will be settled." The man gestured with a hand.

"500 million?! Where do you want me to get you 500 million? Are you crazy?"

"I didn't ask for 1000 million to save face for you, 500 million, I hope I can receive this money in my account within three days, otherwise, you know the consequences. By the way, my account is still the same as before. It hasn't changed, you know." The man sneered, then turned and left.

In the sweltering weather, the man also wore a black hooded sweater.

He also had a baseball cap on his head.

Even if he saw his profile, he could only see half of the bridge of the nose and chin.

After Yan Shaochen waited for Si Jinxi to enter the room, he came out from under the big tree.

After returning to the villa with Strawberry, he went upstairs to the study, took out his mobile phone and made a call.

"Help me check someone."

"Okay, who to check?" The tone of the idler was a bit like that of Lu Xiaoran.

"Si Jinxi, check the details."

"Why does it sound like a girl's name? Are you on the verge of spring?" The gossip tone was so low that the phone's voice could not be hidden.

"Do you think that if I have a crush on her, I will check her like this?" Yan Shaochen raised his eyebrows.

The man opposite said solemnly: "Yes."

"Stop talking nonsense, give it to me before tomorrow afternoon." After finishing speaking, he hung up the phone.

"Tsk, gossip is enough to turn embarrassment into anger. You are really an ancestor." The man kept nagging, and went to help him find people without complaint.

Just this investigation, I couldn't help but be happy. The girl of seventeen or eighteen years old is quite serious. She looks clean and pretty on the surface, but she still does some dirty things secretly. .

But after all, he was young, so he didn't dare to do anything out of the ordinary, and the people he was looking for were also low-level gangsters.

It's just that the little girl who was targeted was a little pitiful, and she was troubled so many times.

But what's even more surprising is that after being called to trouble so many times, they didn't suffer any harm and didn't pursue it.

How did the man know that Si Jinyan had a wild temper and offended many people before, so he was asked to make trouble, and he never expected that it would be Si Jinxi who was controlling it remotely.

After the four of Si Jinyan came out of the library, they went directly to Shanqing Tea House.

Sitting in Mr. Qin's car, Mr. Qin's assistant drove the car.

When seeing Si Jinyan, he greeted her with a smile.

Among the four of them, Xiao Yumeng's boyfriend sat in the co-pilot consciously.

In the back seat, it was impossible for Mr. Qin to sit in the middle, and Si Jinyan was not a person who would sit in the middle. In the end, it was Xiao Yumeng who sat in the middle.

On the left is the idol, and on the right is the boss who never even thought about having the opportunity to meet up close. Xiao Yumeng's face was flushed.

Exciting.

His legs even trembled subconsciously.

Because the three of them were close, Xiao Yumeng was worried that if she shook her legs, her idol and boss would think she was not polite and had no rules.

The two songs were resting on the legs, exerting a little force, trying to press down on his own legs.

It's a pity that the more she was like this, the more nervous she became, the more joyously her legs trembled.

During the period, he accidentally bumped into Si Jinyan's leg.

Si Jinyan liked to sit in the car and watch the bowl of noodles flying by from the window. When he was hit, he turned his head and glanced at Xiao Yumeng, "What's wrong with your leg?"

She asked seriously, thinking that something was wrong with her leg.

"No, it's all right." He hurriedly held his legs together and pressed them tightly.

"Ah."

Soon, we arrived at the entrance of Shanqing Tea House.

Si Jinyan called Ruan Yan'er in advance, and when he entered the box, he saw that she had arrived.

Boss Fu is there too.

The two looked at each other happily.

I came here not only to eat, but also to thank Boss Fu for his instrument and Ruan Xinger for his performance yesterday.

This meal was naturally invited by Si Jinyan.

The box is not very big, the table is a long log table, polished and smooth, just enough to seat six people.

It was probably the first time for Xiao Yumeng to come to such a place, and it was also the first time to contact someone like Boss Fu, so she felt a little restrained after entering the door.

On the other hand, Xu Qi's family, even though it was their first visit, could not find that kind of timidity on their faces.

"Go in and sit down." After Si Jinyan greeted Xiao Yumeng, he asked Xiao Yumeng to sit down inside.

When ordering, I specially asked the waiter to explain the dishes Xiao Yumeng liked, while she was talking to Boss Fu and Ruan Mao'er.

"Miss Jinyan, please be polite. The material of the stone chime is special, and it doesn't need any special protection. It won't break after years. It's an honor for them to be able to use it for Miss Ruan and you." Boss Fu said. Be polite, but not make people feel that you are playing bureaucracy.

"Besides, Miss Jinyan, don't you think that my teahouse has more customers than before? This is still in your favor. Recently, I heard from the people in our company's operation side that my teahouse is almost becoming a check-in spot for Internet celebrities. If it weren't for the few songs of Miss Jinyan that day, how could there be such an effect."

"Speaking of it, I actually took advantage of it." Boss Fu's voice was thick, and although his voice was not low, it also made people feel a little oppressive.

"This is unintentional. Congratulations to Boss Fu's business growth." Si Jinyan laughed.

After chatting, the dishes came slowly.

The box was facing the stage. At this time, there were performances on the stage, not storytellers or Pingtan, but puppet shows.

For a puppet show, one must not only play with puppets, but also be able to sing.

It's a test of skill.

In fact, most of the current opera forms are also evolved from puppet shows or shadow puppet shows.

It has a long history, is very down-to-earth, interesting and story-telling.

It used to be very popular with the people.

That is to say, in this era, most of these traditional things are going into decline, and not many people see them anymore.

In the 90s, people could still be seen carrying suitcases to the countryside and setting up a stage to perform, but now almost none of them exist.

Those who can see this kind of drama, except for some folk museums, are places where the tradition itself has been passed down.

Xiao Yumeng was sitting inside, facing the stage. Hearing the story of Journey to the West being played on the stage, she lay down on the railing with great interest, and stretched her head to look up the stage.

"Speaking of the artist of this puppet show, I met him by chance when I went to Quancheng. I saw him set up a stage to perform on the street alone, and no one watched it. I also felt that it was a pity that his skills were not seen by audiences who didn't know the goods. , and brought people here."

Speaking of this, Boss Fu, who is usually a cheerful person, seemed to sigh a little, "It's a pity that those who usually claim to love traditional culture lose a little interest when they see it is a puppet show."

There are many arty people, but there are not many people who are really elegant and pure.

After all, there are still some thresholds for having a certain appreciation ability and appreciation level for this kind of thing.

"Hey, the general trend is the general trend, and I'm afraid it will be even more difficult in the future." Many crafts have already been seen by no one, so no one is willing to learn them. Maybe it will be lost in a few years.

Just like Kunqu Opera back then.

Similarly, the way the pan flute is played is the same.

Mr. Qin doesn't need Boss Fu to be less emotional.

In this circle, he has come into contact with more such things, and he also understands how difficult it is to pass on the current culture.

The world is indeed developing a little too fast.

"Updating iterations is a normal phenomenon, and you two don't need to worry too much." Si Jinyan said slowly.

In fact, it is more terrifying to remain unchanged. Society itself needs to change and progress with the times.

It's just that while making progress, those cultural heritage cannot be discarded.
