Chapter 914 First meeting
Chapter 914 First meeting
Theoretically, it's possible, but after all, we are now in the real world, and running into acquaintances is impossible. Fu Ling made up an excuse: "It should be possible, but we are from the past after all, so we should try not to disturb them."
Yuan Chenghua was just asking and had no intention of meeting him. Moreover, there were so many people that it would not be easy to find him even if he wanted to.
Besides...it's been over 40 years, and those old friends are probably already buried. Seeing them would only add to the sadness.
"I understand what you mean."
"Master, the person I'm bringing you to is the director of an orphanage. I need to inform you of some things in advance. My current identity is Xuanyuan Ling. Remember, don't call me by my real name."
"Xuanyuan Ling, right? I've remembered this. Is there anything else you want to tell me?"
"That's about it, nothing special to note."
The car quickly arrived at the villa area and drove in smoothly after the license plate recognition was successful.
"Go straight up this road." The navigation ended at the door.
Dean Zhao was very happy when he received Fu Ling's call. He hadn't seen her for several days and had been standing at the door looking outside.
"Dean, what's wrong with you?" Sister Chen asked with concern when she saw her standing at the door with a look of worry on her face.
"Nothing. By the way, I'll leave the kids to you. Xiao Ling will come pick me up later. I might have to go out for a while."
Sister Chen smiled and said, "I thought something had happened. It turns out Xiao Ling is coming. I haven't seen her for several days. She arranged everything for us so well. I don't know how to thank her enough."
"I've already thanked you, but unfortunately it's only verbal. There's something I want to discuss with you."
"What's the matter, Dean? You look so serious."
"Well, I want to change the name of the orphanage."
"Change the name? To what?" Sister Chen was puzzled as to why the name had to be changed.
"Xiao Ling has really helped us a lot. She needs nothing. We don't have much to thank her for, so we thought of naming the orphanage after her."
"I see. Anyway, I don't have any objections. I don't think the other nuns would have any opinions either. Everyone has seen what Xiao Ling has done these past few days. She deserves everything she has done."
"Okay, I'll hold a meeting with everyone later to finalize this matter. If everyone has no objection, I'll handle this matter in a few days."
"Okay Dean."
At this moment, the sound of the car driving became clearer and clearer.
Dean Zhao showed a happy expression: "It should be Xiao Ling who is here."
"Dean, I'll go in and take care of the children first."
"Well go ahead."
Soon the car stopped at the door. I thought that the person coming out of the driver's seat would be the Xiao Ling I had been thinking about day and night, but I never expected that it would be a tall and handsome young man. He looked a little familiar when I looked closely.
Fu Ling got out of the passenger seat and greeted Dean Zhao: "Grandma Zhao!"
Dean Zhao's face was filled with joy: "Okay, okay, I can't tell you how happy I was when I received your call."
Lu Beichen opened the back door first, and Yuan Chenghua got out of the car.
This car is so high-end that I couldn't find the door handle for a while.
Fortunately, his son-in-law was sensible and solved his embarrassing situation.
Dean Zhao took Fu Ling's hand and asked, "Who are these two?"
"Oh, grandma, let me introduce you. This is my master, his last name is Yuan. All the skills I have were taught by my master."
He was caught off guard by the compliment and his face changed color slightly before returning to normal. He nodded to Dean Zhao.
"So you are Xiao Ling's master, Mr. Yuan. You have trained a good apprentice."
"No, no, it's because the girl is extremely talented. Taking her as my apprentice was the best thing I did."
After a few pleasantries, Dean Zhao's gaze rested on Lu Beichen. She patted Fu Ling's hand lightly and smiled meaningfully, "Xiao Ling, why don't you introduce this person to me?"
"Grandma, you know this, I mentioned it to you before."
"Grandma Zhao!" Lu Beichen gave a standard military salute.
"Good boy, Xiao Ling showed me your photo before, you are even prettier than in the photo."
The young man in front of him was upright, tall, and had a straight back. Even though he was wearing casual clothes, one could tell at a glance that he had an extraordinary temperament.
"How about going in and sitting for a while?"
"Grandma, let's go eat first. It's a bit far to drive from here to the restaurant we're going to."
"Oh, let's go now. I'm ready."
Lu Beichen was still driving, and with Dean Zhao around, Fu Ling switched seats with Yuan Chenghua.
"Let grandma take a good look at you."
"Grandma, I ate well." Fu Ling sat facing her so that she could observe him better.
"Well, you look fine and haven't lost weight. Grandma is relieved."
"I usually come here like this, you don't have to worry about me."
"It won't happen again in the future. Grandma is just a little worried because she can't find you. I'm glad to know that you are okay." In the past few days, I often received messages from Fu Ling, but she always sent them in a hurry and went to do something busy. That's why I worried that her body couldn't take it. Now that I see that there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with her, I feel relieved.
They were going to a very famous buffet restaurant in Beijing, where the average price per person was 380 yuan.
Before coming, Fu Ling booked a private room in advance.
Although Dean Zhao had never been here, it looked expensive. She was used to being frugal, so she took Fu Ling's hand and said, "Xiao Ling, why don't we go eat somewhere else? This place doesn't look cheap."
Fu Ling smiled and said, "Grandma, this is a buffet restaurant. The price is fixed no matter how much you spend. If you don't believe me, look at the sign over there."
It would have been better if she hadn't looked at it, but when she saw the words 380 yuan per person, she immediately gave up.
"No, this is too expensive! Let's go eat somewhere else."
What a joke, this one person costs nearly 400 yuan, and four people cost more than 1500 yuan. You can have a good meal in a restaurant for 200 or 300 yuan. This is blatant robbery.
"Grandma, please don't be polite with Lu Beichen. He's treating us today and said he's treating us to a seafood dinner." Fu Ling put the blame on Lu Beichen.
"Grandma, please don't be polite to me."
Fu Ling looked at Dean Zhao with a smug look on his face. "You heard everything, right? Let's go. The seats are already reserved."
He pulled her inside, and Yuan Chenghua and Lu Beichen followed closely behind.
There were indeed a lot of people at this buffet, almost all the seats were occupied, and there were still people queuing outside.
After they reported their names, someone quickly led the four of them to a private room.
Soon, staff came with fresh big Australian lobster and other seafood for confirmation.
Although Dean Zhao had never been here, he was no novice. Just looking at what Fu Ling ordered, it was definitely not something you could eat for 1500 yuan.
