Chapter 163: old friend
Chapter 163 Old friend
After more than 20 hours of flying, Jian Heng finally landed at Shanghai Pudong International Airport. Once out of the airport, Jian Heng dragged his small suitcase to find a restroom.
Entered the washroom, closed the small partition door, casually threw the small box into the space, then took the big box out, and dragged the big box out in minutes.
At this time, a buddy who was washing his hands happened to be standing next to the sink, and saw Jian Heng dragging a big box out, and couldn't help but froze.
Turning his head, he looked at Jian Heng staring straight at his box: "Hey, I said buddy, I remember you pulled a small silver box in, why did you suddenly change it to a black box?" big box?"
Jian Heng stopped in his tracks, turned his head and said to him: "You are blind, I was originally a big suitcase."
"No, I clearly saw a small silver box, but I actually remember it deeply because I thought it was too expensive to buy that box and I was reluctant to buy it." This guy was quite entangled, and directly argued with Jian Heng.
Jian Heng laughed happily and said, "According to what you mean, someone else dropped the box in there and asked me to take it out?"
This person quickly waved his hand: "Impossible, you went in right after I got out of it. Where did I get the big box from this small box!"
"I said you're really interesting. Since that's the case, it's easy to explain. You're blind!" An old man with a strong northern accent walked towards the sink while wearing a belt. .
"I said don't worry about it, can you let him go?" The uncle said while washing his hands.
This person scratched his head: "No, brother, I have a very good memory and almost never make mistakes, I obviously...".
"Okay, you, think slowly here, I'll go first" Jian Heng smiled and waved at him, then dragged Xu Zhaobin's big suitcase out of the bathroom.
After leaving the bathroom, Jian Heng turned to the airport pick-up gate, and immediately found the person He Ye sent to pick him up. He was a young man in his mid-twenties, he was wearing a suit and he knew he was sitting in an office. He was holding a piece of paper with Jian Heng written in two large Chinese characters, and was scratching his head looking at the empty airport reception.
"Xiao Chen? I'm Jian Heng"
Jian Heng stretched out his hand to him while talking.
Upon hearing this, the young man sized Jian Heng up and said with a smile, "Hello, Mr. Jian, I was sent by Mr. He to pick you up. Why did you come here?"
"Go get the suitcase first, are you in a hurry?"
"Nothing! I'm just afraid that I won't be able to complete the task assigned by Mr. He. By the way, Mr. Jian, the car is ready, and I'll take you there." Xiao Chen didn't talk to Jian Heng, and directly took Jian Heng to the parking lot field walk.
Jian Heng raised his hand: "Wait, I have to wait for someone here, can you lend me your phone?"
While speaking, he took out a note that he was carrying with a series of numbers on it. Jian Heng took Xiao Chen's mobile phone and dialed it according to the number.
Soon the other side picked up the phone, and Jian Heng agreed on a meeting place with him, and then handed the phone back to Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen brought Jian Heng to the parking lot. When he saw the car that He Ye had used for him, he couldn't help but smiled wryly: "I said, Xiao Chen, is there a car that is a little less ostentatious?"
What He Ye prepared for Jian Heng was an s400, which made Jian Heng scratch his head a bit.
Because when Jian Heng came here, he deliberately told He Ye about this matter. The first reason is that this car is borrowed from someone. Even when driving home, it is also flamboyant. Although Jian Heng's house is a two-story building built by himself, almost all the people living nearby are colleagues from his parents' former factory. Jian Heng is afraid of trouble.
"This is the worst car in our company, and there is another one that is almost there, but it is the car that Mr. He uses for himself, besides this one, there is the Maybach we just bought, and a Rolls-Royce …" Xiao Chen said with a wry smile.
The Audi used by He Ye is quite similar, a6l, but there are many large and small passes on it, and it is not suitable for lending to others, so Xiao Chen has to push out this S400.
"..." Jian Heng was quite speechless after hearing this. In the eyes of others, the S400 is an ordinary car.
"Mr. He also said, it's okay, you can drive at ease!" Xiao Chen said.
"Okay, I see. When I see you Mr. He, I have to thank him well. Do you drive or I drive?" Jian Heng said.
Xiao Chen smiled and pointed to the Passat next to him: "I drove here, you can drive this car yourself." Then he handed the key in Jian Heng's hand.
Jian Heng looked through the window of the Passat next to him and saw a girl sitting inside, so he smiled and nodded friendlyly at her, and then took the key from Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen handed over the keys, then waved with Jian Heng, got into his car, turned on the ignition and left.
Jian Heng put the suitcase in the rear compartment, then got into the car, set up the navigation, Jian Heng found the place agreed with the person who picked up the suitcase, and then drove the car over.
That place is only 40 minutes away from the airport. When Jian Heng arrived, he was already waiting at the door. Once the box was handed over, Jian Heng was going to drive directly to the house.
After sleeping for more than ten hours on the plane, Jian Heng is in good spirits now. First, he found a shop selling mobile phones nearby. Jian Heng took out his domestic ID card and got a card for himself. phone, and made a call home.
"Mom, I'll be home at about five o'clock in the morning!" Jian Heng said immediately after waiting for the phone call.
Upon hearing this, Sun Xiuying said happily, "I'll ask your brother-in-law to pick you up."
"No, no, I drove back by myself," Jian Heng said.
"Take the night train? That won't work. You've been on a plane for a whole day. I don't feel relieved if you drive the night train again. Listen to Mom and find a hotel to rest for the night. By the way, don't look for expensive ones. Three-star hotels will do. It's a good deal, it's too cheap and dirty..." Sun Xiuying started nagging on the other end of the phone.
At this moment, Jian Zhenhua complained from the side: "When I was on a business trip, I was allowed to stay in a small hotel, and it was my son's turn to be a three-star hotel. Why don't you think it's dirty where I live?"
Sun Xiuying gave her wife a blank look: "You really know how to compare. My son bought such a large piece of land in the United States. Where is your land?"
Resenting her wife, Sun Xiuying couldn't help but once again told her son to find a hotel and get enough sleep before driving, otherwise it would be dangerous or something.
Jian Heng made sense after thinking about it. It was a bit ridiculous to drive the night train on the highway, so he agreed.
Who knows the next sentence, Jian Xiuying said again: "You have time to go to the provincial capital. Sun Siwei has mentioned it several times, saying that you must go to him and talk to him when you return to China."
"Okay, I see. You can send me his phone number later, and I will go directly to the provincial capital," Jian Heng said.
After chatting with the old lady for a few more words, Jian Heng hung up the phone.
After waiting for a while, Sun Xiuying sent the phone number, and Jian Heng dialed it directly.
"Who is it?" Sun Siwei's voice sounded.
Although we haven't seen each other for several years, Jian Heng can still hear his friend's voice from the phone.
"Guess who I am?" Jian Heng said with a smile.
Sun Siwei thought about it for a while, and suddenly said in surprise: "Jian Heng?!"
"I'll go, my ears are so good?" Jian Heng laughed.
"That's right, it was your voice when I heard it, are you back?" Sun Siwei asked on the other end.
"Well, I'm back, if you have time, I'll treat you to supper tonight."
"What's the night, I'll invite you. In the evening, call some of our classmates in the provincial capital." Sun Siwei said with a smile.
Jian Heng replied: "I'm still in Shanghai now, and it will take another three and a half hours to reach the provincial capital." Jian Heng adjusted the navigation, and the time given on the navigation was three and a half hours.
"It's time for supper, but it's okay, just supper! Brother, I miss you so much." Sun Siwei replied with a smile, paused and asked again: "Is this your number?"
"Well, I just opened a domestic account, but I'm sure it won't be used often. I'll tell you my WeChat later, use that to contact me," Jian Heng said with a smile.
"Okay, then I'll wait for you!"
Just like this, the two brothers chatted for a few words, then hung up the phone, Jian Heng drove to the direction of the provincial capital, and Sun Siwei started to contact his classmates.
At eleven o'clock in the middle of the night, Jian Heng arrived at the boundary of the provincial capital, got off the expressway and went straight to the urban area, and arrived at the place agreed by Sun Siwei at around 11:20.
After stopping the car, Jian Heng saw Sun Siwei standing on the side of the road. He hadn't seen him in six or seven years. This kid didn't change much except that he got fatter.
Pressed the car window, Jian Heng shouted at Sun Siwei who was standing on the side of the road: "Siwei!"
Sun Siwei turned his head and looked around. When he saw Jian Heng standing next to Da Ben, his eyes lit up.
"Damn, are you well-off?" Sun Siwei walked over with a smile, and when he reached Jian Heng's side, he first reached out and beat Jian Heng, and then looked at Da Ben next to Jian Heng happily.
Jian Heng looked around and asked, "Where are the others?"
Hearing Jian Heng's question, Sun Siwei said awkwardly: "They all have things to do, so they can't come today"
Jian Heng saw the embarrassment on Sun Siwei's face, and naturally understood what was going on. One or two people may have something to do, but everyone has something to do, so someone must have something to say.
Sun Siwei was embarrassed to say that those people made excuses, and two of them entered the provincial party committee and municipal government, and even directly said, junior high school? There is Jian Heng in our junior high school?
Sun Siwei knew that these two were probably annoyed by relatives and friends asking for help, but they knew it, and it would be strange if Sun Siwei didn't understand each other. Damn, my surname Sun begged you two to do something? Directly making such strange remarks at me, is there such a person? I bother!
It's just that it's not easy to say this to Jian Heng, so I can only make an excuse to say that other people are busy.
Jian Heng didn't mind either, anyway, people didn't want to come, so he happened to be free here. Classmates, that's it. If you want to come and go, let's go, and if you don't want to, forget it.
"Okay, don't look at it, the car is not mine, it is borrowed, let's find a place to eat." Jian Heng reached out and patted Sun Siwei.
Sun Siwei looked at Daben reluctantly, and after getting into the car, he muttered, "It's a skill to be able to borrow this car, but I can't!"
"Is there any good place to eat?" Jian Heng asked.
Sun Siwei thought for a while and said: "It's good to have a roast chicken, but..."
"Just what?" Jian Heng asked.
"It's just that you may not be suitable to go to such a place when you drive a lot," Sun Siwei said.
Jian Heng smiled and said, "It's important to have a meal, show me the way!"
