Lin Yutong said her name and age, and the two of them started calling each other sister.

"You have just arrived in Shanghai, so you should go out and walk around." Li Liuli invited Lin Yutong, "I will invite someone to have tea with me another day, and you will come too."

"That's what I asked for." Lin Yutong agreed. The two chatted some more about which cheongsam is the best and which restaurant's local cuisine is the most authentic.

Over there, Chen Xiangdong glanced this way several times and then breathed a sigh of relief. He was sincerely dating her, and he was afraid that his wife would be putting on airs and not letting strangers in. It was getting late, so he

He turned to the fourth master and said: "Then I will send someone to pick it up tomorrow. Many things on the textile machine cannot be used according to the instructions. It will not take a day or two to hire technicians from Germany. If you delay like this, it will really delay things.

Yes. There are technicians in other factories...but...you know, people working in the same industry are enemies. In fact, how big is the market in China? But there are only so many textile manufacturers. There is no competition at all. The situation in Northeast China today

...Everyone is boycotting Japanese goods. At this time, the market demand for the gray fabrics we produce is huge. Brother! I really owe it to you this time."

The fourth master agreed. The two families then got up. Lin Yutong and the fourth master sent the couple to the door of the hotel, watched them leave, and then returned to the room.

Lin Yutong couldn't help but ask about buying a house, "Where is the best place to buy?"

The fourth master waved his hand: "I have already mentioned the house to Chen Xiangdong. This time I will pack up the machine for him. He always has to give away a house. He understands this rule better than us. No matter where the house is,

I can settle down for the time being. Nowadays, if you want to rent or buy a house in Shanghai, it is not easy to find a suitable house right away."

The next day, Fourth Master went out early in the morning and said, "I guess it will be evening when I come back. You have nothing to do and go and have a look around by yourself. There is a rickshaw at the door, and you can pay 20 cents a day."

Have you even found out about this?

Lin Yutong sent him away, "How can I be left alone? I'll go out for a walk in the morning and come back in the middle of the afternoon. Don't worry, just go and do your work."

After the fourth master left the house, Lin Yutong changed into an inconspicuous plain cotton cheongsam and plain cloth shoes, and came out of the hotel. There were many rickshaws parked outside the hotel. Lin Yutong waved, and someone came over and agreed on the price.

, she first paid a dime before letting the driver take her away. She had no destination in mind, she just wanted to take a walk.

Unexpectedly, the coachman pulled him directly to the department store. Lin Yutong looked at the five-story building and saw people coming and going from the door. Although it was not a huge crowd, it was still very lively. She got out of the car and was about to go inside when she walked by.

A man in a long gown hurried inside and bumped Lin Yutong hard. Before she could react, she only stretched out her hand to rub her shoulders. When she saw another man in black uniform passing by,

The bulging thing on his waist looks like a gun.

She was stunned for a moment before she realized. It should be the period of counter-encirclement and suppression, and the Kuomintang was arresting Communist Party members. She didn't know if her guess was correct, but almost instinctively, she calmly

Followed in.

The man in front, wearing a long shirt and black-rimmed glasses, walked into the crowd with his head lowered. The one following behind was not slow at all. But I didn't know what was being dumped in front of him. There were several long lines and the crowd was crowded.

human.

Lin Yutong took out a handful of cents, pretended to be knocked out of balance, and threw the money away, "Ouch! Don't grab my money..."

With this voice, the crowd suddenly became confused and everyone looked down at their feet. Suddenly, it became crowded.

The man in the long gown looked back at Lin Yutong, who was standing in the crowd. He was slightly stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly left. He didn't know who the other person was, or why he would help him... Yes! He could confirm it.

, the other party was helping her. She shouted that she had lost the money, but her eyes were not on the money, but on the person who was chasing her.

Lin Yutong watched the person walk out and disappeared in a blink of an eye. Then he took advantage of the chaos and went to the women's clothing area. He quickly bought a set of clothes, regardless of the style, went in and changed out. He took out another pair.

He put on his silver-rimmed glasses and walked out of the department store leisurely.

Behind me, I could hear someone shouting angrily, "Where's the person? Where's the person who just threw the money?"

When this happened, Lin Yutong couldn't wander around anymore. He got into a rickshaw directly and returned to the hotel.

This day, my heart was pounding and I felt a little restless.

When the fourth master came back in the evening, it was already past eight o'clock. He still smelled of alcohol. He went inside to take a shower. Lin Yutong followed him, turned on the faucet and listened to the sound of water. Then he told the fourth master in a low voice what happened today.

said.

The Fourth Master, perhaps because he had drunk some wine, suddenly asked: "Do you know what I'm thinking?"

Lin Yutong really couldn't guess this time. He shook his head and asked, "What are you thinking about?"

"Miss you, old man." The fourth master said suddenly.

Old man?

Referring to whom?

A person suddenly popped into Lin Yutong's mind - Yin Changtian!

She thought of the child for a moment, and both of them fell silent. Some things were deliberately not thought about, but that doesn't mean they were forgotten.

"Do you think there will be such a person? Although he doesn't know who we are this time... but if we can still see our old friends..." Fourth Master's words were a bit confusing, but Lin Yutong understood him clearly, "In the future... we

Go and look for it quietly?"

Because of this topic, the two cuddled up together at night and went to bed early.

The next day, Fourth Master talked about the house, "Chen Xiangdong has already helped find it. It's in the French Concession. Let's live there first. It's more convenient to do things there...sometimes."

Lin Yutong nodded indifferently: "Go and have a look later?"

The two of them had dinner and were about to look at the house, but as soon as they walked to the lobby, a middle-aged man in a suit came in from the outside and came face to face with Lin Yutong and Fourth Master. When they met, Lin Yutong and the other party were stunned.

Isn't this the man in the long coat yesterday?

Isn't this the girl who saved me by throwing in the money yesterday?

"This... madam..." The man took the initiative to speak, glanced at the fourth master, and called Lin Yutong madam, "We meet again."

Lin Yutong looked at the busy hotel and understood that the more upscale the place, the safer it is. Those who can do big business have nothing to do with who is behind it. Not everyone dares to run wild here.

She smiled and said, "Yes! What a coincidence."

Fourth Master understood who this person was. He nodded and pointed to the opposite side, "The coffee there is pretty good. Let's have a cup together."

The other party smiled and nodded, and the three of them went to the coffee shop together.

"Has Madam guessed my identity?" the man asked.

Lin Yutong shook his head: "I didn't guess anything. You don't have to worry."

The fourth master took the message and asked the other party: "What business is sir doing here?"

"Medicinal materials." The man said, looking at the faces of Fourth Master and Lin Yutong, "We are in the medicinal materials business. Where are you two?"

The fourth master glanced at Lin Yutong and then said: "I just came back from the United States not long ago." As he said that, he suddenly asked, "We have two prescriptions that are very effective in treating trauma and we are going to sell them. Do you want them?"

The other party was obviously stunned. He definitely needed trauma medicine, especially antibiotics.

Lin Yutong took out a pencil and paper from his handbag, wrote two prescriptions, and handed them over.

The other party took it and looked at the prescription again and again. They were all Chinese medicinal materials, and many medicinal materials were not prohibited for sale. "This..."

"My family has been practicing medicine for generations." Lin Yutong smiled, "Follow the steps in the prescription, and it's no worse than antibiotics."

The man looked at Lin Yutong again. He didn't say antibiotics, but the other person suddenly said antibiotics. It seemed that he knew what he was looking for.

"I don't know the value of this prescription..." Regardless of whether it works or not, let's try it first. Moreover, the medicinal materials in this prescription can be purchased nearby. You don't need to search thousands of miles away, and the risk is much smaller. Even just send a telegram.

Can pass the recipe back.

Lin Yutong shook his head: "If you don't know the efficacy, how can you charge money? Let's talk about it after you try it."

This person understands. This is a gift. Otherwise, how would you do this in business? If you give the recipe to someone, and they have learned it, who would want to give you money again?

"You..." The corner of his mouth moved, and it took him a long time to suppress what he wanted to ask. He wanted to ask, why do you want to help me? Are you our comrades? But he didn't ask anything. Out of caution, he

We need to ask someone to check the details of these two people first.

The fourth master nodded to the other party, pulled Lin Yutong up and went out. Before leaving, he also settled the bill at the front desk.

Fourth Master and Lin Yutong lived in the hotel in a high-profile manner, and did not avoid others when interacting with Chen Xiangdong. Therefore, it was very easy for the other party to find out their identities.

"One of the college students studying in the United States is proficient in mechanics and the other is proficient in medical skills." The man took the information in his hand and burned them all with a fire.

Lin Yutong and Fourth Master have already arrived at the house donated by Chen Xiangdong. The two-story small foreign-style building is not big, but it is definitely enough to live in. And the yard is not small. The furniture in the house is all new, and even the telephone has been installed.

The first floor is the living room, kitchen and dining room, and the second floor is the bedroom and study room. There are bathrooms above and below, which is very convenient.

"Originally, they introduced a cook, a servant, and a gardener, but I rejected them all. It's better not to let outsiders come in and out of our house at will." The fourth master looked up and down, "I won't ask you to do housework...

You can do it alone, and I’ll give you a helping hand.”

"I can't bear to do it." Lin Yutong glanced at the Fourth Master.

While they were talking, a car rang outside. It turned out that Li Liuli had sent the driver to deliver something. There were rice, white noodles, meat and vegetables.

"Our wife said that Mr. Yin and Mrs. Yin have just moved, and they definitely haven't prepared anything in the kitchen. She asked me to bring it to you. You can use it first. If you need anything, just give me instructions." The driver smiled with a smile on his face and spoke extremely.

polite.

These two couples are really polite.

Lin Yutong hurriedly took two yuan and gave it to the driver: "I don't need anything, but I'm sorry to bother you to make a trip after get off work. Thank you very much."

If others are polite, you will be even more polite. Two dollars is a lot of money. Nowadays, a bag of flour in the United States only costs more than two dollars. Of course, in the eyes of rich people, two dollars is not money.

Lin Yutong rolled up his sleeves and went down to the kitchen, where he was busy chopping meat. He asked the fourth master: "How much help have you given to others? They are so polite."

"The machine couldn't be assembled according to the instructions when it was brought back. After finally putting it together, the cloth weaved was dense and loose, just like the cloth you woven with a loom. Adjust it again and again.

No. It will take more than half a year to wait for Germany to send someone over. How much work will be delayed in these six months? How much money will be lost? They are smarter than us. They said they would hire me as a consultant and I would be paid 500 yuan a month.

I thought about it and agreed. We must have a reasonable identity and legal income. Otherwise, everyone who looks at it will feel strange."
