Quick Travel System: Age Strategy

Chapter 33: Strategy for Warlords in the Age of War 4

The first place is too far away, and it is easy to miss any news. The second place is in the downtown area but close to the surrounding hospitals and schools, so any problems can be solved immediately. The third place is near the city gate, where there are too many people living and it is not stable. Moreover, the city gate is the easiest place to be broken through, so it is not suitable for you if your life is at stake.

"Okay, I'll send someone to pick you up tomorrow to see the second house. Where do you all live?"

Cheng Cheng's mother Zhang Xueling said, "We are staying at Qingfeng Inn."

"My people will go back to pick you up to see the house at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning. Do you have anything else to do besides the house? If not, you can leave now."

"We'll take our leave then. Thank you, Third Master." Chengcheng's mother Zhang Xueling chuckled and suddenly stood up.

After the guests left, Mr. Xie tapped his pipe and chuckled, "She said, Mr. San, it's interesting."

He didn't feel anything when others called him, but when the person he met today called him, it was like a feather passing through his heart, making him feel itchy.

The next day

When Cheng Cheng and the other two were ready to leave the inn, they saw an old-fashioned car not far away, with the person who was in charge of the market yesterday standing inside.

I walked forward and greeted the manager briefly, then I saw Mr. Xie Sanye still sitting in the car.

Cheng Cheng's mother Zhang Xueling smiled and said, "Third Master, you are here too."

Mr. Xie looked at her and nodded slightly, saying no more.

The manager came to the rescue and said, "Hurry up and get in the car. I'll take you to see the house."

Several people got in the car, which started and soon arrived at the small Western-style building.

Chengcheng thought everything in front of him was beautiful: a two-story German-style building with a brick and wood structure, white walls, a red-tiled sloping roof, a attic and dormer windows.

After going in and taking a look around, we were even more satisfied. There was also a fireplace. In winter, we could buy some firewood and burn a fire in the fireplace.

Cheng Cheng's mother Zhang Xueling asked, "Third Master, how much does it cost to buy this small western-style building?"

"We need thirty gold bars." Mr. Xie said.

The steward pursed his lips to say something, but was frightened by the warning look from Mr. Xie Sanye.

Cheng Cheng and the other two thought about it and decided that thirty gold bars were not expensive, and the box given by Yu’s father was almost enough.

He took out thirty-three gold bars from the box (thirty gold bars for buying the house, three gold bars for the referral fee) and handed them to him. "Okay, deal."

Mr. Xie handed the key to Zhang Xueling and said, "For the sake of our business, if you have any questions, you can come to me at the market."

"Okay." Chengcheng's mother Zhang Xueling nodded.

Mr. Xie then left with his men.

In the car

The manager carefully looked at the person reflected in the rearview mirror and said, "Master, why did you sell it to them at nearly half the price?"

Mr. Xie turned the snuff bottle in his hand, looked out the window and said casually: "I feel like we have some affinity. Okay, drive carefully."

"Oh." Why do I feel like something is strange? The car turned around and drove out of the small building again.

———The serious dividing line————

After living in the small western-style building, Cheng Cheng and his friends officially felt at ease in Beijing. The three of them gradually integrated into the life in Beijing. Shopping for clothes, custom-making cheongsams, perming hair, listening to Peking opera, and eating special dishes became daily routines.

After playing around for a few days, Chengcheng's mother Zhang Xueling finally remembered her important work.

My daughter should be studying now, so I can’t waste time going out with her all day.

She called Chengcheng over and asked, "Cheng'er, Xiaoxiu, where do you two plan to go to study?" There are three of them living at home now, and Xiaoxiu is also a child, so it would be better to send her to school as well, so that she can take care of her daughter at school.

"Mom, I want to go to Guoyu Middle School." Chengcheng said proactively.

The male protagonist is studying in Guoyu Middle School, so why not contact him at this school? Yitong told me too little information, and it is not easy to find a place in such a big city of Beiping.

"Guoyu Middle School? That seems to be a public school. Cheng'er, have you made up your mind?" I had originally planned to send my daughter to a high-end private school, but since she already had the idea of ​​going, forget it.

Chengcheng nodded: "Mom, I've thought it through." He looked at Xiaoxiu. What was her plan?

"Wherever the young lady goes, I will go." Xiaoxiu didn't have time to decide where to go to school. She was already very surprised that her aunt was willing to send her to school. She had never been to school when she was at the Yu family.

Chengcheng's mother Zhang Xueling clapped her hands and said, "Okay, I'll go talk to the principal today." It would be best if they could decide to go to school tomorrow.

in the afternoon

The three of them went to Guoyu Middle School together and talked with the principal for a while. The principal agreed to let Chengcheng and Xiaoxiu enter the school as transfer students, but they had to test their level.

Several of the school's top teachers were called over to give impromptu questions, and each of them answered two questions face to face on the spot.

Cheng Cheng and Xiao Xiu both gave similar answers. Xiao Xiu had seen Cheng Cheng's textbooks before at Yu's house and secretly studied on her own until she was discovered. Cheng Cheng didn't stop her from studying, but blamed her for not studying openly. Even if Xiao Xiu had never been to school, her level was not low.

Several special teachers looked at the two with satisfaction. Their answers were quite good. "Principal, their answers are quite good. Their level is good enough for admission."

"Okay, you guys go and get busy first." After watching the special teachers leave, the principal stood up and shook hands with Cheng Cheng's mother Zhang Xueling and said, "If they pass the test, the children can go to school tomorrow. The tuition is two dollars per semester, payable once a year."

"Thank you, Principal." The problem of going to school was solved, and the trip was not in vain.

……

After Cheng Cheng entered the school, she secretly inquired about the male protagonist. Since she didn't know the male protagonist's name, it was difficult to find him in the school because there were too many people.

This is also a public school, so those in Peking who cannot afford to go to private schools will choose to send their children here, resulting in a large number of students, which is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.

After several days of waiting in the school, they still couldn't find the male lead. Cheng Cheng was visibly listless, Xiao Xiu noticed and asked her what was wrong. Cheng Cheng shook her head and avoided the question.

At the same time, Chengcheng's mother Zhang Xueling has been too free recently. She can't stay at home alone, so she often goes shopping and gets to know the wife of the governor of Peking.

The two of them got along quite well when they chatted. The governor's wife admired Zhang Xueling's determination to leave the feudal Yu family. They met more often and attended several banquets together.

Seeing all these grand scenes, Chengcheng's mother Zhang Xueling felt very novel. She turned into a socialite at the banquet, chatting and laughing with the upper class people in Peking, and did not notice anything different about her daughter at all.

Until she was caught by Mr. Xie Sanye one day, who was afraid that she would be targeted by others if she attended these banquets, so he secretly sent people to protect her.

Chengcheng's mother Zhang Xueling was originally unaware of the situation. It was only when something happened by chance that she realized what Mr. Xie had done for her.

That day, she was kidnapped by a group of kidnappers who covered their faces when she left the house for a banquet. She was terrified and asked the kidnappers nervously, "Who sent you?"

The kidnapper leader snorted and laughed, "It's your fault that you are too beautiful and attract people's attention. Someone sent me to kidnap you back."

What?! Zhang Xueling thought carefully, who could it be? She had never provoked anyone, let alone hooked up with a man. Seeing that the car was about to start, she struggled for a long time but couldn't escape.

What to do? What to do? She is really going to be taken away.

With a "bang", the kidnapper who was holding her from behind was shot in the middle of the forehead and died. Seeing the big hole in the kidnapper's forehead and blood flowing down, she was scared and screamed.

Someone is dead! Someone is dead!!
