The senior management of the Far South Branch received the news of Chu Huainan's business trip to Beijing early in the morning.But what they didn't know was that this trip was actually divided into two days.The first day was an open itinerary. As a representative of outstanding young entrepreneurs, Chu Huainan was invited to Beijing to participate in an international economic forum. The event lasted for two hours and was accompanied by the general manager of the branch throughout the whole process.

The second day is a private tour.

As an "native" who grew up in Beijing, Qiao Yilan received a call from Chu Huainan early in the morning. When the phone rang, he was cooking a swollen puffer fish in the kitchen.

He put down the knife and flicked a fishy drop of water, frowning and said: "It's cooking, let's make a long story short."

Qiao Yilan's culinary skills are obvious to all friends, but he never fires easily. Over the years, Chu Huainan only ate his cooking once.

In some respects, Qiao Yilan, who seems gentle and polite, is a bit machismo.As a staunch defender of "a gentleman stays away from the kitchen", Chu Huainan was very surprised when he suddenly washed his hands and made soup.

"You cook?" He smiled: "Then my dinner seems to be settled."

Qiao Yilan raised her eyebrows: "Are you in Beijing?" Out of the corner of the eye, she glanced outside, the volume of the TV in the living room was turned on very loudly, and the young man with his back facing him was curled up on the sofa like a cat, holding the remote control to change things crazily. tower.

He walked to the door and closed the kitchen door before saying, "How long will you stay this time? I'm afraid I can't do it today, why don't we have dinner together tomorrow?"

Chu Huainan said, "I'm leaving tonight."

Qiao Yilan thought, then why are you calling me?

He was slandering on the other end, but the other end of the phone had already smiled: "I didn't call you to ask for a meal, but I needed your help with other things."

Less than two hundred kilometers away from Beijing City, there is a small city called Beishi.In recent years, the country has been vigorously developing economic radiation zones, and the concepts of various satellite cities and urban back gardens have emerged in an endless stream.Borrowing the speed of Tianchao's infrastructure, the high-speed rail between Beishi and Beijing was connected as early as a few years ago, and there is a train every few 10 minutes, which is convenient and fast.

When Qiao Yilan heard that Chu Huainan asked him to help buy the high-speed rail ticket from Beijing to Beishi, she couldn't believe her ears: "Does your assistant know how to buy tickets?"

Chu Huainan said: "The eleven o'clock class is full, and there are no seats left, so I asked you to find a way."

"There's a bus 15 minutes after that, and the arrival time is about the same."

"That won't work."

Secretary Wang Xiaojun had already checked that there were other trains 15 minutes before and after this train, but the capitalists were unwilling to change.

"It's just this train. If I can change the train number, I won't call you this time. You hurry up and find a way, and I'll go to the high-speed rail station in a while."

Qiao Yilan turned on the faucet to wash her hands, and put the phone between her ears and shoulders: "You are really not afraid to bother me."

"You have troubled me too much." The capitalist reminded him with a smile: "How is Ruowen, is your health better?"

Qiao Yilan, who "eats people with a short mouth and soft hands", wiped the water on the apron and said, "Thanks to you." After thinking for a while, she said, "Help me make an appointment with Qiubai some other day. I owe him a debt." Meal."

Qiao Yilan seldom said the word "ow", it seems that his debt for a meal is more serious than that of others for a life.

But in terms of emotion and reason, he owed the Chu family a huge favor.

Not to mention a high-speed rail ticket, even the spaceship's manned quota, as long as Chu Huainan asks, he will find a way to repay the favor.

Chu Huainan bought a designated seat for this high-speed rail trip—the second-class seat in No. 12 compartment [-]A.

Due to the short supply of tickets, he got on the bus alone.

The journey was very short, only 39 minutes in total, and the car was full, even the aisle for getting on and off was full of people.There was a smell of boxed lunch in the carriage, but Chu Huainan, who was slightly obsessed with cleanliness, was always in a happy mood and smiled happily.

Sitting next to him was a well-dressed young man who got on the train from the departure station of Jianghu, and moved from the business seat to the second-class car halfway because the business seats from Beijing to Beijing were all full.

When he saw him, the other party was startled not too obviously, and the mouth slightly opened because of surprise made the capitalist feel elated.

He curled up his legs to make a small space for Chu Huainan to pass, and quickly looked away from him, then continued to turn his head and chat with the young girl sitting by the far right aisle.

The capitalist who has read countless people can see at a glance that the girl is interested in the young man sitting next to him.

They transferred from the business seat to this carriage together. The original seats were not too close, but they didn't expect to sit together after changing seats.This wonderful fate made the girl's delicate face blush, and she shyly avoided her eyes.She covered her mouth from time to time, and giggled with the other party's jokes.

"Are you the only child?" The always talkative young man asked suddenly.

The little girl shook her head unpreparedly: "No, I also have an older brother." She smiled and showed off to the charming opposite sex in front of her: "My older brother is very powerful and his business is doing pretty well, I have admired him since I was a child! "

The young man nodded: "Did you start your own business? That's really remarkable."

As he spoke, he lowered his eyes slightly, showing a shy expression: "It's not like me, it's completely in the light of the family. However, I also have an older brother who died in a car accident a few years ago."

The lively atmosphere came to an abrupt end because of the sudden heavy topic.

The girl obviously didn't know how to comfort a handsome young man who was aroused by her words, so she twisted her scarf at a loss: "Ah, I'm sorry, I really don't know how to find a topic."

Fortunately, the other party didn't mind, and quickly raised his head and returned her a comforting smile: "It's okay. I really envy you for having such a good brother."

Ten minutes before arriving at the station, the young man got up and went to the toilet at the end of the carriage.

Chu Huainan followed behind him, entered the door together when no one was looking, and quickly closed the door and locked it.

The other party obviously didn't expect him to do this, and turned around with a frown: "What are you doing with me?"

Chu Huainan's expression remained unchanged: "Go to the toilet."

"There is an empty toilet in front, why do you have to squeeze a room with me?"

The capitalist smiled and nodded, "Let's use one, so I can ask questions. Inspector Shen, you sacrificed your appearance to have a hot fight with the little girl, what does your partner think?"

Shen Ting sent a sentence "Contacted" to his teammate with no expression on his face, and said without raising his head, "He can understand."

"you sure?"

He put the phone away, pressed the flush button, and answered truthfully under the cover of the sound of running water: "Sure. Besides, what's wrong with me saying a few words to someone? When I was performing other tasks before, I The sacrifice I made was far greater than this. Don’t you think so, Mr. Chu?”

Chu Huainan: ...
