Steve said: “If there is nothing important, I have to go back tomorrow. Otherwise, it will be difficult to explain to my father. In his impression, I definitely don’t want to leave this place all the time.”
Charlie said: “Then let’s do it tomorrow afternoon. What do you think about Tianxiang Mansion?”
Steve said excitedly: “Great! Let’s go to Tianxiang Mansion tomorrow afternoon.”
“Okay.” Charlie said, “See you tomorrow, I have to hang up first.”
“Okay Mr. Wade, see you tomorrow!”
…
The weather is getting colder, and there are few green leaves on Purple Mountain, except for a few pine trees, most of the trees have lost their leaves, leaving only bare trunks and branches.
When Charlie came to Maria Lin’s upstairs courtyard in Purple Mountain Villa, he was surprised to find that the Pu’er tea mother brought back from Dianchi Lake was actually growing lush and green, with more leaves than before, and it was also much bigger.
Maria Lin, who looked like a girl, was taking care of her mother from Pu’er tea, boiling the tea next to her on a low fire.
At the same time, he roasted some ginkgo and ginkgo nuts next to the stove, giving off a faint burning aroma.
Seeing Charlie come in, she smiled as bright as a flower and said happily: “Mr. Wade, please sit down quickly. The waiter has made tea and is waiting for you.”
Charlie nodded, approached the bench in front of him and sat down.
Maria Lin carefully took some roasted yellow ginkgo nuts from the oven’s iron net.
The ginkgo nut was relatively hot, so he didn’t dare to hold it any longer. He hurriedly switched it between his two hands, as if he was juggling.
The ginkgo was turned back and forth between his hands a few times, and the temperature dropped a little, so he brought the ginkgo to his mouth, lightly opened his lips and blew on it, then peeled one off and handed it to Charlie’s mouth, with a look of anticipation on his face. He said: “Young master, try it. I just picked it up from the mountain at noon.”
Charlie couldn’t help but open his mouth to eat it. It was bitter, fragrant, and quite chewy, but it had a different taste.
Once he had eaten it, Maria Lin peeled a few more and handed them over, then poured Charlie a cup of tea.
Her delicate hands hadn’t stopped since Charlie entered.
Charlie took a sip of his tea, then put down his teacup and asked her: “Ms. Lin said there are new clues, what specific clues are there?”
Maria Lin said: “The shipping company that the young master knew before that the settlement would be in Singapore has been sold to a French company.
The French seem quite anxious. Once the company was changed, they couldn’t wait to use the company’s planes. The transportation has started.”
Charlie frowned: “Has Warriors Den entered hibernation? Why did they suddenly sell the airline?”
Maria Lin said: “This is what our family cannot understand.
It stands to reason that Warriors Den would not be short of cash, so there would be no need to sell the company.
Moreover, this company is still their core global transportation capacity, and now in a dormant period, it is more than time to take such action,
so the Nu family wonders, do they realize that airlines are no longer safe?”
