"I guess I can't cover up Chu Lan's matter."
Xu Xiang looked at the closed archives room and said to Zhang Chuyi and Xu Si behind him.
Everywhere leads to the North China Headquarters, and he has never been here since his physical collapse.
I originally thought that it had only been a few years and nothing big would go wrong, but who knew that the archives room was broken into today.
Although it still looks like it's closed now, the entrance to the archives has been specially treated, and as long as you enter, it will definitely leave traces.
After inspection, all the files related to the Zhang family in the archives showed signs of being read.
After watching the surveillance, Xu Xiang quickly identified the suspect.
However, the insider probably knew that it was impossible to hide it, so he left the company directly after coming out of the file room.
Now three hours have passed, and I can't even leave the province by car, and I can even go abroad by plane.
"I'm still not careful enough." Xu Si, who hurried back to Jinmen, lowered his head and reviewed, "I should have been more careful when I knew that the company was short of manpower."
"This person is an old employee of seven or eight years. I personally promoted him at the beginning. If you want to be held accountable, I should be held accountable." Xu Xiang sighed, "But it is meaningless to discuss responsibility now. The focus is on who should be held accountable after Chu Lan's identity is leaked. How to deal with it.”
"Bring him to Jinmen." Zhang Chuyi's expression was not particularly solemn, and he said: "Paper cannot contain the fire. As long as this secret exists, sooner or later it will be leaked.
Since Chu Lan’s matter can’t be hidden anymore, it’s better to let him return to this world. "
"Return?" Xu Si caught this element and raised his eyelids suddenly: "You mean, Chu Lan is also a strange person?"
"Of course." Zhang Chuyi nodded, "Being born in such a family, it's impossible not to practice. Speaking of which, this kid has better talent than me. If he can keep practicing, he might be able to fight better than me now."
Xu Si laughed: "He can hide it quite well. The company has protected him for so many years, and all reports say he is an ordinary person."
"There is nothing we can do about it." Zhang Chuyi spread his hands helplessly, "When dad and I left, we decided to let him hide while dad and I went to attract attention.
So far, the effect is indeed good. No one has disturbed him for at least nine years.
Xu Xiang sighed softly when he heard this: "But even so, his life should not be very good."
"Not anymore." Zhang Chuyi smiled with relief, "Actually, this undercover agent did me a favor, allowing me to meet Chu Lan openly.
Although it's a rush, maybe he can live a more prosperous life in the future.
By the way, where are Third Brother and Sister Baoer? "
"Already gone to Yuzhou." Xu Xiang took out his cell phone, took a look at it, and said, "I'm worried that those people will attack him immediately after getting the news about Chu Lan.
Although Hao Yi in the southwest has always arranged for people to protect him secretly, everyone has a nap, so I asked San'er and Ah Wu to go over, intending to have a showdown with him directly, and then pick him up from Jinmen to study. "
"You are always considerate." Zhang Chuyi gave Mr. Xu a thumbs up in his heart.
Although Chu Lan grew up in an orphanage and entered school late, her grades have always been very good because she is smart enough.
After finishing the high school entrance examination, I was admitted to Yuzhou Nanbu Middle School without spending any money, and I was in the Qingbei class.
Students in this class with average grades will have to pay a lot of money to get in. Those with good grades will be paid by the school to let you study.
Chu Lan obviously belongs to the latter.
However, there is still a certain gap between the education level in the southwest region and the developed eastern regions, and the competition is relatively high, so in the previous life, Chu Lan only got into Nanbu University.
This life will allow him to receive a better education, and maybe he will have the opportunity to go to Qingbei.
It would be safer if Mr. Wang could do a favor and give Chu Lan the entire capital city residence.
Of course, it is still a little early to conceive of these. The top priority is to get Chu Lan to Jinmen first.
There should be nothing to worry about when Third Brother and Sister Baoer are doing things. But if that doesn't work, they can also make direct video calls.
It’s the 21st century, and most things are actually very convenient to do...
In the early morning, Zhang Chulan got up as usual, did some chest expansion exercises in the morning glow, and took a big breath of fresh air.
Although it's summer vacation, his life schedule is still very regular. He goes to bed at ten o'clock on time and gets up at seven o'clock every day.
If you want to be a good young man in the new era, it is most basic to go to bed early and get up early.
The reason why Zhang Chulan is like this is just to add some good moral character to his application form for the selection of three good students.
In addition to going to bed early and getting up early, he also plans to write down things such as "using his spare time to work and study," "picking up discarded beverage bottles on the roadside and selling them for money," "helping grandparents cross the road," and "regularly volunteering in orphanages." .
This is not a misfortune, but this is what he usually does, just stating the facts.
As for why students should be rated among the top three, of course it is for scholarships.
There are currently two support policies in schools. One is scholarships, which can be applied for as long as you obtain a poverty certificate from the community.
The other one is the scholarship. Only students with excellent academic performance can apply, and the competition is very fierce.
His grades are good, and his moral character is passable.
It’s just that I don’t have a well-connected father in my family, so applying for scholarships is a little more difficult than for some classmates.
However, Zhang Chulan is very confident that he can obtain sufficient qualifications before the start of school.
In addition, he would go to the artificial lake in the city from time to time. Nowadays, many middle school students take a bath in it on hot days.
If he is lucky enough to encounter someone who is drowning, he will immediately act bravely, and not to mention scholarships, he may even get an unexpected bonus!
Thinking of this, Zhang Chulan was full of expectations for the next days. Even if he didn't eat candy, he still felt a little sweet.
"Boom!"
While I was washing, there was a knock on the door outside the room.
"Right away!" Zhang Chulan took a sip of water, rinsed it quickly a few times, and opened the door while wiping his mouth.
"Hello, who are you looking for..."
Zhang Chulan took a closer look and was stunned by the girl in front of him who was as beautiful as a fairy descending from the earth.
To be honest, he has never seen such a beautiful girl since he was a child.
"Zhang Chulan, don't you recognize me?" Feng Baobao spoke in Sichuan dialect, "I am your long-lost sister."
"Sister?" Zhang Chulan was shocked.
He obviously only has one brother, where does the sister come from?
Could it be that my eldest brother ran away to Thailand in recent years and had surgery?
Thinking of this, Zhang Chulan took a breath, but quickly regained her composure and said doubtfully: "I am an orphan, I don't even have parents, where did I get my sister?
Beauty, have you found the wrong person? "
"That's right." Feng Baobao pushed Zhang Chulan and broke into the room without any explanation. "As entrusted by your grandfather, I have been secretly protecting you all these years."
"I don't understand what you are talking about." Zhang Chulan's eyes were full of doubts, "I am just an ordinary person, what do I have to protect?"
"San'er, this person seems to be more mature than me." Feng Baobao felt that he could no longer communicate with Zhang Chulan, so he turned to Xu San for help.
"There's someone else!" Zhang Chulan suddenly looked up, only to find another man walking in from outside the house.
"take it easy."
Although Xu San did not feel any hostility bursting out from Zhang Chulan, in order to avoid misunderstanding, he immediately took out his employee ID card of MADTO: "I am an employee of MADTO. Although on the surface it is a courier company, , but it is actually a company responsible for managing the order of foreigners in China, and it can be regarded as half a state-owned enterprise."
"Weirdo!" Zhang Chulan's eyes widened, "Are you filming a movie or a reality show? Where are the cameramen?"
"This kid is so good at pretending." The corners of Xu San's mouth twitched, thinking that the Zhang brothers really have two different personalities.
The boss wants the whole world to know him and know how fierce he is.
This second guy is the complete opposite. He is obviously very skilled, yet he still pretends to be so impressive.
"We are not bad people, so Chu Lan, you don't have to wear a mask to speak." Xu San persuaded patiently again, "Actually, my baby and I have been paying attention to you over the years. It is not an exaggeration to say that we have watched you grow up. .
If you really don't believe it, just read this. "
With that said, Xu San took out his mobile phone and made a video call.
When he saw that the contact's name was Zhang Chuyi, Zhang Chulan's expression that had been pretending to be stupid finally changed.
His pupils shrank violently due to shock, whether from fear or excitement, and his hands trembled uncontrollably.
The call was connected quickly. Zhang Chuyi sat on the sofa and said hello to the camera: "How is it? Does that kid say nothing?"
"Chu Yi, your brother's mouth is tougher than a safe, so I have no choice but to let you come." Xu San complained with a bitter smile, and then handed the phone to Zhang Chulan.
"Brother...is it really you?" Zhang Chulan took the phone and the vibrato sounded worse than Andy Lau.
Although they have been away for many years, the appearance of his eldest brother has not faded in his mind at all.
With just one glance, Zhang Chulan recognized him immediately, but he couldn't believe that his brother Zhang Chuyi appeared in front of him like this.
"Who else could it be if it wasn't me?" Although Zhang Chuyi was still smiling on his face, he was actually quite touched in his heart.
After nine years, the brothers finally met.
You know, the two brothers have only been together for nine years, and there were two years of which Chu Lan couldn't remember anything. In other words, the time he lived with his eldest brother was not as much time apart.
"I've finally met you, brother." Zhang Chulan's eyes were warm, but she found that she could no longer shed tears.
I don't know when he started, but after he realized that tears couldn't solve any problem, he forced himself not to cry.
But when the emotions surged and tears were needed, the tear glands seemed to have dried up, without any movement.
"You have suffered all these years." Zhang Chuyi reached out and wanted to touch Chu Lan's head like he did when he was a child, but all he touched was the screen.
After calming down, Zhang Chuyi said in a deep voice: "Come to Jinmen with Third Brother and Sister Bao'er first. From today on, you don't have to hide anymore."
When these words came out, Zhang Chulan could no longer suppress the emotions he had accumulated for many years, and tears burst out like a dam.
But before letting her elder brother see her vulnerable side, Zhang Chulan ended the call.
He quickly pulled out a large wad of tissue and covered his face.
Although his teeth were closed, the sobs still leaked out from the gaps between his lips and teeth.
Seeing this, Xu San sighed and left the room in silence.
Feng Baobao showed no expression from beginning to end, tilting his head and looking at Zhang Chulan who was emotionally broken.
Finally, she stretched out her hand and put it on his forehead, stroking him gently.
When I was a kid, my eldest brother liked to touch his head when he had nothing to do.
Zhang Chulan, whose memories were suddenly brought back, put down the tissue and looked at Feng Baobao blankly: "What are you doing? Don't you see that she is crying?"
"Does this make you feel better?" Feng Baobao blinked at him with his bright eyes, "I used to comfort the dogs in the village like this when they were beaten."
"But I'm not a dog, wuwuwu." Zhang Chulan cried even more sadly.
"Yes." Feng Baobao looked like he had just come to his senses, "But when people and dogs are sad, they feel the same way. I always comfort them like this."
Saying that, Feng Baobao grinned: "How about it, do you not want to cry now? If you still want to cry, I will continue to touch your head."
"Forget it, I can't cry anymore." Being interrupted like this, Zhang Chulan's emotions were almost gone.
"Look, let me just say that my method works." Feng Baobao showed a very witty smile, "By the way, my name is Feng Bao'er, you can just call me Sister Bao'er from now on.
No matter what happens, just call Sister Baoer and I will protect you! "
"Bao...Sister Bao'er." Zhang Chulan didn't know why, but she shouted out of nowhere.
"By the way, your grandfather also confessed something before he died." Feng Baobao said, hugging the back of Zhang Chulan's head, and then pressed his forehead against it.
Zhang Chulan only felt a fragrant and soft body leaning over him, and a soft cooling sensation on his forehead. Then a lot of memories poured into his mind, flashing before his eyes like a revolving lantern.
Although the transmission process only lasted about ten seconds, Zhang Chulan was stunned for five minutes before digesting it all.
"It turns out that grandpa has gone through so many things since he left that year." Zhang Chulan's eyes gradually became heavy, and he looked at Feng Bao'er and asked: "Sister Bao'er, does my brother know these things?"
"I know." Feng Baobao nodded, "Originally, these memories, as well as the technique your grandfather passed on to me, were all going to be given to Zhang Chuyi.
But Zhang Chuyi felt that you needed these things more than him, so he asked me to leave them all to you. "
Hearing these words, Zhang Chulan fell into thinking.
This technique has a high probability to be the source of Qi Ti.
Although Grandpa didn't say it explicitly, he didn't believe that Grandpa would pass down an ordinary skill before he died.
He can think of it, and I believe his elder brother can think of it too.
But the eldest brother refused. Why?
Zhang Chulan is a boy who likes to think very much. When encountering such an abnormal situation, of course he wants to figure it out.
