Chapter 132: Why are you panicking?
Watching his second brother pedal away on his bicycle, Wang Yuanchao looked at the note in his hand, squeezed it again and again, with mixed feelings.

Finally, I found a public phone outside and dialed the number.

It was a mistake to leave a public phone outside the alley.

The call was connected, and Sheng Hai spoke.

Wang Yuanchao had also spent a few years in Shenghai in his previous life, so he could understand the Shenghai dialect and even speak a few words, so he said he was looking for Liu Qijin.

The person on the other end of the phone replied that the Liu family had already taken a train to the capital early yesterday morning, and they had even specially called the public telephone to say hello yesterday.

Wang Yuanchao said "Xia Xia" and hung up the phone with a click.

This is very... people just ran over here!
He dialed the number at the entrance of Siheyuan Hutong again. The voice that answered the phone was familiar. It was Lao Zhang:

"Hello, No. 90 Nanluoguxiang, who are you looking for?"

Wang Yuanchao asked:
"Uncle Zhang, I'm in the North Korea. Has anyone called me recently?"

The person on the other end of the phone immediately said:
"Yes, you little bastard. I looked for you four times. Your aunt went to your compound four times but couldn't find you! She even asked your second brother for your workplace's phone number, but he didn't know either."

The subtext is that it's really hard to earn this little phone bill from your house.

Wang Yuanchao quickly asked:

"Well, did you tell them your address?"

Uncle Zhang was stunned by the question. After a while, he said:

"No. 90 Nanluoguxiang. Didn't I tell you our address at the beginning?"

Wang Yuanchao was stunned. My goodness, has his brain gone crazy?
So I was about to hang up the phone, but someone came over:
"Yuan Chao, I'm not saying anything too nosy about your situation, you'd better come back and tell your parents about it. The girl seems to be looking for you in a hurry, hey!"

"I understand. Thank you, Uncle Zhang! I'll hang up first!"

Old Zhang listened to the busy tone on the phone and shook his head. The second son of Old Wang's family has returned home, and now it's the turn of the third son. Alas.

The little girl was more and more anxious to call a boy, hoping that no one would die.

He had just hung up when the phone rang again:

"Hey, Nan..."

"Uncle Zhang, if anyone comes to look for me, please call my workplace, don't tell my family. I will definitely thank you when I get home. The phone number is ***"

When Old Zhang heard what Wang Yuanchao said, he became even more certain that Wang Laosan was in trouble with love affairs.

Well, he couldn't really say anything in front of the parents, right? Otherwise, if it got out, Mr. Zhang from the pay phone would be a big gossip, and how would he do business in the future?
He could only say earnestly:

"Don't worry about this. Your Uncle Zhang will definitely keep his mouth shut when he does this. He's just talking to you. Don't worry, hey."

"Okay, thanks Uncle Zhang!"

After Wang Yuanchao hung up the phone, he went to the logistics department to check the train schedule and arrival time from Shenghai to the capital. The fastest one was 30 hours, and the slowest one was 48 hours, which was two days and two nights.

If we left early yesterday morning, shouldn't we arrive at noon today or early tomorrow morning?

Oh my god, don’t wait for Lao Zhang to notify you, just go home and stay there first.

Wang Yuanchao felt that the call he just made to Lao Zhang was particularly unwise. What the hell, why was he so nervous?

Could it be possible that the other party could bite him?

He has a plan, but whether the other party listens to it or believes it is his business!
Being so impatient is ungraceful!
At most, he should speed up his creative plan. He has the red songs! Who can do anything to him?
Wang Yuanchao went back to his office to pack up, said hello to Zhang Yang, Li Hui and Ming Chengjian, and prepared to retreat first.

Normally, someone at his level should have a separate small office, but Wang Yuanchao felt that it was not good to stand out too much and be too detached from the masses, so he continued to work in the business department office.

As soon as he went out, his colleague informed him that Director Jin was looking for him.

Wang Yuanchao had to go to the director's office.

"Director, are you looking for me?"

Jin Guangjie was very satisfied with Wang Yuanchao's recent performance. Half of the day, he could be seen sitting in the office writing and drawing.

"Sit down! You've been writing a lot lately. Are you in the right state?"

Wang Yuanchao said embarrassedly:

"I still want to finish the creation as early as possible, firstly, so that the leaders can check and give advice on whether it is appropriate and whether there are any changes that need to be made. Secondly, it will give the comrades in the rap group more time to familiarize themselves with it and rehearse it."

Director Jin was even happier and said:
"Good, very good! I like to see you fighting hard and racing against time like this. Unlike us old guys, we are too old to do it!"

Wang Yuanchao is still sensitive after all. What does the director mean when he says he is not old?
Could it be?

The medicinal wine from last time?
That small jar only contains one pound of food, which is 6 cents a day. It is almost finished by now.

So he said:
"Director, I wonder how you feel about the wine I brought back last time?"

Director Jin was very satisfied with Wang Yuanchao's intelligence and suddenly realized:

"Oh, speaking of this wine, it's deer blood wine, right? I've never tried it before. It's great stuff. After drinking it, I feel warm all over and full of energy!"

Not only that, Director Jin also asked someone to inquire about Ma Erqin's reputation, and it turned out that he was the first professor of traditional Chinese medicine after the founding of the People's Republic of China. It is said that he also treated Liu Shuai's children, which is not simple!

How could he have anything to do with such a great player?
Besides, the wine was really good. He drank it, so he knew it!
Wang Yuanchao said shyly:

"If I had known earlier, I should have asked my master to give me more help!"

Wang Yuanchao then took advantage of the situation and told them about his relationship with Ma Erqin and Huang Yun.

Jin Guangjie was even more surprised. This kid was extremely talented! He even had a talent for medicine? Fortunately, he listened to Han Tuan and got him in first.

Since there is this relationship, then, if there is trouble, it won't be a big deal. As for what Wang Yuanchao said about the precious medicinal materials, hey, if the medicinal materials are not precious, how can Lao Jin believe it?

The New Year is coming soon, and it’s not appropriate to let this kid go to Fengtian at such a critical moment in creation.

Anyway, he is in good condition recently and there is no need to wait for a while. So, after the New Year, Comrade Wang Yuanchao must go out.

Director Jin counted out some coupons and tickets from the drawer, stuffed them into an envelope, put it into Wang Yuanchao's hand, and said confidingly:

"Right now, the creative task is more important. There is no rush for the wine. The medicinal materials are precious, and we cannot let you, my young comrade, pay for them. Take these first, and tell me if you don't have enough."

Wang Yuanchao watched Director Jin stuff the bills into his pocket. After a rough calculation, he found that the bills were worth at least three to five hundred yuan.

Wow, there is a lot of potential for medicinal liquor!
So he didn't hesitate and said:
"Don't worry, Director. I will complete the task!"

Director Jin clapped his hands happily, saying:
"The organization has always had high expectations for you and looks forward to you creating more and better works. The organization will definitely value every contribution of yours!"

After being called by Director Jin to have a talk, Wang Yuanchao felt that he was a little panicked and made a mistake before.

I still haven’t experienced enough.

He didn't intend to get involved with the other party, so why should he panic? !
Anyway, I had already told my office colleagues that I had to go out for something, so I simply called Wu Lanfang, the clerk from the Personnel Department, and Tan Fei, the clerk from the Logistics Department, to chat with them individually, thanked them for their previous help, and gave them a few pounds of meat coupons.

Tan Fei may not feel anything about these supplies, but Wu Lanfang should like them. It’s New Year’s Day, who doesn’t want to buy a few more pounds of meat?
Anyway, the director just gave a lot, so it’s generous to others.

Secretary Wu was very happy and said that he would look for Sister Wu if he had any problems in the future!
Tan Fei was also very happy, and reminded him by the way that it was windy, but he was so famous and professional that it shouldn't be a big deal. Wang Yuanchao smiled, but in his heart he wanted to ask a few more questions, but it was not that Tan Fei didn't say anything, but she only heard these few words at home...

Since Tan Fei is from the compound and knows something about the situation, then Qiao Na and her brother are also from the compound, so they should know something about the situation as well, right?

However, you cannot ask about this matter proactively. If you do, it will seem very deliberate and will easily make people feel that there is something wrong.

Qiao Qi is not as silly as Jonah.

But, we are all friends now, so giving gifts, making plans for dinner, and just chatting is scientific and reasonable.

So he pedaled his bike and rushed to Qianmen Bookstore.

Pretend to meet by chance while buying books.

After turning around a few times, Jonah soon appeared beside him.

"Are you not going to work today? Or are you leaving early?"

Wang Yuanchao said:

“Come out to find creative inspiration…”

Qiao Na's next words were like a duck being pinched by the neck, and she was stuck. After holding it in for a while, she said:

"I thought someone was going to ask my brother to go ice skating..."

Wang Yuanchao just remembered that he had mentioned making an appointment to go ice skating after dinner last time, and then nothing happened afterwards.

The main reason is that he doesn't want to be too involved with the Qiao brothers and sisters. Qiao Na is obviously interested in him, and he can't waste her time. After all, she is not the right type for him.

But now, well, I'm mainly here to find out which way the wind is blowing.

"How about I treat you to Lao Mo after get off work?"

Qiao Na covered her mouth all of a sudden, looked at Wang Yuanchao in disbelief, then looked around, her face flushed, and whispered:
"So generous to me? What's your intention? Why don't you tell me the truth?"

Wang Yuanchao said:

"I'm here to find some creative inspiration. Maybe having a meal or chatting with you will inspire me. You may not know, but I've always wanted to write a song for our iron army, but I've never been in the army. You're from a military compound, so you must know more about it than I do. There's no harm in listening to you, right?

But there is no rush, because before that, I still have a few tasks to complete, but it is not a bad thing to accumulate more. "

Qiao Na glanced at him and said:
"If you want to treat me to a meal, just tell me directly. Why are you making up so many excuses? I'm going to call home. You wait until I get off work!"

Joanna was almost counting down with a stopwatch and jumped to Wang Yuanchao's side. This idiot was still standing there in a daze, which was quite interesting.

She patted him and whispered:

"I'm off work!"

Wang Yuanchao was startled and said:
"Take my car?"

Joanna said as a matter of course:
"What else? You have to take me home before 8: today! Otherwise, be careful, my brother will come talk to you!"

From Qianmen Bookstore to Lao Mo Restaurant, it is about 9 kilometers from the south to the northwest of the city.

Joanna was quite reserved at first, just pinching the corner of Wang Yuanchao's clothes, then she put her arms around Wang Yuanchao's thick waist and put her face on his back. The wind was light and warm.

Wang Yuanchao drove at lightning speed and arrived at Lao Mo's door in half an hour.

Having been here before, he was familiar with the place and even helped Joanna introduce the dishes.

The two sat aside so they could whisper.

……

Although the conversation was not deep enough, Wang Yuanchao was still very grateful to Qiao Na for her concern for him, because the girl said:
"Because you are a literary and artistic worker, I am telling you so much. You must be especially careful! There are some things you cannot say or write carelessly.

Wang Yuanchao was impressed.

Wang Yuanchao whispered into Qiao Na's right ear:

"Don't worry, you've reminded me of this, haven't you? Anyway, I have a heart that points toward the sun, and nothing can shake me from this."

Wang Yuanchao's breath blew on Qiaona's ears, which was itchy and comfortable. Qiaona liked talking like this anyway, so she leaned close to Wang Yuanchao's ear and whispered:
"Yes! That's what my father told us. As long as we keep our hearts toward the sun, we will have nothing to fear!

But you still have to be careful not to be slandered by villains."

The man had the "heart" to ask, and the concubine had the "heart" to speak, and before they knew it, their conversation had exceeded the time limit. They both hurriedly paid the bill and wanted to send Qiao Na back quickly. It was too late, and it would not be nice to the girl.

He rode his bicycle all the way to the gate of the Navy compound. When he saw the guards, Wang Yuanchao slowed down a little. He felt a little nervous and tried not to look at the guards.

Joanna said to just ride in, what could he do?
Joanna leaned forward and waved to the guard, who immediately stepped aside, stood at attention, saluted, and watched her go.

All of this fell into Wang Yuanchao's attention. It seems that Qiao Na's family is indeed quite powerful!
Under Qiao Na's guidance, they walked around and arrived at the door of a house. The house was not big, and it should not be home to many families. As for whether it was only home to one family, Wang Yuanchao did not think about it.

Wang Yuanchao braked the car, and Qiao Na jumped out of the car with a "Hey", glanced at him coquettishly, and said:

"Wait for me. I'll go back and get you two of my father's internal references. You must not let them leak out!"

Without waiting for Wang Yuanchao to reply, he turned and walked towards the door.

She knocked on the door, and the door opened. Qiao Qi poked his head out, then shrank back in. When he came out again, he was already wearing a military coat.

Qiao Qi walked straight towards Wang Yuanchao. The moment Wang Yuanchao saw him coming out, he had already parked the car and took two steps forward.

"Brother Qi!"

He threw out a cigarette first.

Qiao Qi took the cigarette and said:
"Good boy, Qiao Na said someone invited her to Lao Mo tonight, and it turned out to be you, an old boy, who didn't even bring me along!"

Wang Yuanchao smiled innocently and immediately got angry again:

"Don't you know you're at home?"

Qiao Qi took a sip and said:
"Damn, don't you know that your brother Qi is at home every day? Are you confident that you can pass this test? Our Qiao Na is the flower of the Navy compound!"

Wang Yuanchao could only continue to speak honestly:

"Brother Qi, Qiao Na and I are just good friends. It hasn't reached the point you think."

In the smoke, Qiao Qi couldn't see clearly. After a while, he said meaningfully:

"This is the first time in Qiao Na's life that she has come back so late after having dinner with someone outside.

She has always disliked us rough folks and liked cultured people.

I can see that she is quite happy.

My parents are not at home, and I only have this one sister.

You know what it means that an elder brother is like a father. "
