War Photographer's Notebook

Chapter 374 Employees and Friends (Only one update today)
In a hotel only one block away from Chen Guangling's piano shop, Wei Ran, who woke up under the urging of his biological clock, gently moved away Zhengxiang's Sui Sui who was sleeping with one leg on his body, and carefully got up from the bed, barefoot Went into the bathroom.

At this time, although the sky outside was still dark, it was already time for breakfast in Kazan, thousands of kilometers away.

He took out his phone and set it to silent mode. After thinking for a moment, Wei Ran sent a brief declarative message to Gorman, "Your son's neighbor has been sent to prison for tax evasion."

In less than five minutes, Gorman replied with a message.

Looking at the "thank you" written in Russian on the screen and the three exclamation marks behind it, Wei Ran became more and more confused. It was obvious that Gorman did not do this.

"Could it be Kajianka?" While thinking about the second key suspect, Wei Ran had already taken out the food box from the metal book, and found out the authenticator inside.

Step by step, he logged in to the webmail and completed the authentication. Wei Ran slightly changed the information he had just sent to Gorman and sent it to Kajianka.

This time it took less than two minutes to reply to the email, and the content of the email was only a sentence equivalent to an invitation for credit, "If you are still satisfied, at least give me some symbolic bonuses."

What a nice employee.
Wei Ran secretly sighed, automatically ignoring the demands of his employees for bonuses, and instead began to ask whether the incident would leave any hidden dangers.

At the same time, in the bar on the second floor of Gubijing Pasta Restaurant, Katenka, who was playing chess with Matthew's kid, looked up at the frowning kid who was thinking hard, and typed on the phone screen with a smile. Lines of letters, and by the way, a document was called up from the phone and attached to the email.

She just turned off the screen of her phone, and Matthew pitifully scratched the rolls all over his head and said, "I lost again."

"Then follow the agreement and help me clean up the room."

Katenka happily took out a 10-euro banknote from his pocket and handed it to the other party, "After packing up, I'll treat you to tiramisu."

"real?!"

A look of surprise immediately appeared on Matthew's cute little face. He stretched out his small hand and grabbed the money in the former's hand and stuffed it into the pocket of the overalls, "Give me an hour! I will clean it up for sure." net!"

"Don't worry"

Katenka took out another 10 Euro bill and waved it in front of the little guy, "If you can help me wash all the clothes, you can also get a tip."

"make a deal!"

Excitedly, Matthew snatched the money from Katenka's hand, and kissed the latter on the cheek. Then, with his short legs upside down, he ran into the place where he cleaned it two days ago. Once, but now it's a messy room again.

"Matthew, can you ask your aunt Monica out next week?" Katenka leaned against the bar and asked with a smile.

"Her?" Matthew poked his head out of the messy room, and said embarrassedly, "I guess she will definitely refuse."

"Then I can't help it." Katenka pretended to be sorry, "I recently discovered a very delicious dessert shop, and it seems that I can only go there by myself."

"What time next week!"

Matthew immediately asked, although it seems that this poor little guy needs to take care of one more person, but at least this young lady is normal in other aspects except for being a little lazy.

And the most important thing is that every time I meet Katenka, I will take him to eat dessert or go to the playground for half a day, which Uncle Tassie and Aunt Monica can't do.

“Saturday morning bar”

Katenka threw away the chess pieces in his hand, and took advantage of the situation to add some chips to Matthew, "This will not affect our going to the playground on the weekend."

"On Saturday morning, I will definitely bring Monica to meet you!" Matthew made a promise.

"Then it's settled"

Katenka threw the chess pieces back on the board, picked up the windbreaker hanging on the hanger, put it on, and said as he walked towards the stairs, "I will leave the cleaning of the room to you. I will go buy desserts."

"Don't worry! I'll clean it up soon!" Little Matthew, who was completely bought by Kajianka, started running back and forth to clean up the wrapping paper of various snacks on the table.

There was a smile on Katenka's face, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with ordering this cute little guy. He went downstairs as a matter of course, and asked the college students who worked part-time in the restaurant not to let people go to the bar on the second floor. Then he walked to another house not far away.

At the same time, Wei Ran also finished reading the attachment sent by Ka Jianka via email.

This document is full of evidence of tax evasion by Makar's neighbor, and in addition, Katenka briefly described her reporting method in her email.

In short, after the girl said goodbye to them in the United States last time, she took advantage of the opportunity to go to the place where Makar's neighbor worked for a few days, and then bought a second-hand computer with cash. As for the rest, it was nothing more than Just play what she is good at.

After reading the contents of the email, Wei Ran immediately unplugged the authenticator and threw it into the food box, then put it in the metal book, and pressed the flush button of the toilet.

After he washed his hands and lay down on the bed again, Sui Sui, who was woken up, turned over in a daze, and once again used him as a pillow, continuing the dream that had just been interrupted.

Looking at the girl sleeping soundly in his arms, Wei Ran shook his head dumbfounded and closed his eyes.

When the two of them woke up again, the sunlight had left a long streak of light on the wall along the gap at the edge of the curtain.

After finishing the literally three poles in the sun, the sweaty two men took a shower and changed their clothes energetically, went downstairs and left the hotel with a small amount of luggage, and drove the car to the entrance of Chen Guangling's piano shop.

Chen Guangling and his son, who got the news yesterday, naturally didn't go anywhere and waited in the piano shop early, so before Wei Ran and Wei Ran got out of the car, the old and the young came out warmly.

"Sorry, the downtown area is a bit congested, and Teacher Chen has been waiting for a long time." Wei Ran pushed open the car door, throwing the blame for being late on the capital's traffic with an apologetic expression.

"I should be sorry"

The gentle Chen Guangling quickly waved his hands and said enthusiastically, "Hurry up, go in and get warm, my wife has already prepared lunch."

"Brother, I have caused you trouble. I have to trouble you for a trip this New Year's Eve." The introverted Chen Luoxiang said a little embarrassedly, but he did not forget the rules. Guangling's fixed name.

"No trouble, what's the trouble, it's just a matter of time for a meal, we've been hungry for a long time."

Wei Ran patted the other party's shoulder while speaking, and then glanced at Sui Sui who was staring at him without any trace, and then walked into the piano shop with Chen Guangling and his son while exchanging pleasantries.

It can be seen that in order to borrow the piano, the family has put in a lot of effort. Not only did they prepare a large table full of sumptuous meals in advance, they even prepared two bottles of good wine in the middle of the table. .

Sui Sui, on the other hand, put on that well-behaved look who doesn't know how to drink, chatting with Chen Luoxiang's mother about cosmetics, bags and clothes the whole time.

And while Wei Ran and Chen Guangling's father and son exchanged cups and cups, they also figured out the other party's original intention of borrowing the piano.

It turned out that Chen Luoxiang, the son of Chen Guangling, planned to learn the craft of qin from a famous violin maker after graduating from university.And the only request of the master violin maker is to see how this introverted young man is doing on the violin.

It was also for this reason that Chen Guangling planned to borrow Wei Ran's guqin for his son, hoping to give him extra points, and in order to dispel Wei Ran's doubts, he even took the initiative to borrow Wei Ran's guqin. He said that he could write an IOU and pledge it to Wei Ran together with the real estate certificate of the piano company.Even if Wei Ran is worried, he can go with him.

As the so-called parent's beloved son has far-reaching plans, Wei Ran would not refuse his painstaking efforts, so before Chen Guangling finished speaking, he happily agreed to the other party's request to borrow the piano.

On the other hand, although he and Chen Guangling didn't see each other several times a year, and even the other party took the initiative to come to the door, Wei Ran didn't mind having such an honest friend and a more serious friend. Honest little brother.

"Mr. Chen, when is Luo Xiang going to use that qin?" Wei Ran asked while holding a wine glass, "I just came back, and the qin is still in my hometown."

"To be honest, it's really a bit urgent, the sooner the better."

Chen Guangling picked up the cup and touched Wei Ran, drank it all and said, "Although the time for the master to take the Luoxiang piano art test is set in the next year, he must be familiar with the piano in advance anyway. OK, so."

Wei Ran made some calculations and said, "Since this is the case, why don't you follow me back to get it today?"

"This is the best! This is the best!"

Chen Guangling insisted on pouring another glass of wine for Wei Ran, "If this kid Luo Xiang can really worship that old gentleman as his teacher, our old Chen family can be regarded as going back to their old ways. So Wei Ran, this time I really want to I'm not being polite to you anymore."

"If you say this, you'll be offended. Come, drink!" Wei Ran said, grabbing the wine bottle and pouring a glass for Chen Guangling and the flushed cheap junior Chen Luoxiang.

A lively family dinner lasted from noon to three o'clock in the afternoon. After drinking two bottles of white wine, the three of them took a rest in the piano shop. They waited until the sun went down, and then everyone took the business van borrowed by Chen Guangling's wife. , took all kinds of gifts prepared by the other party in advance and insisted on bringing them, rushed to the high-speed railway station, and boarded the train to Cangzhou.

When it took more than an hour to get home, Wei Ran's parents were still working overtime in the travel agency.That being the case, he simply took Chen Guangling's family into the newly renovated house, while Sui Sui went to the opposite door, preparing to get some food and drink for their family.

"Brother, why are you putting two big iron bars in the living room?"

Chen Luoxiang looked curiously at the background wall of the living room and asked, now the background wall is not filled with big poles and those anti-Japanese swords, but even the old photos that Suisui found when his grandfather's house was rebuilt are placed in it up.

"That's not a big iron stick"

Before Wei Ran, who came out of the study with the piano case in his arms, could speak, Sui Sui had already brought in a tray with teapots and tea bowls, and brought the pug dog with a crooked mouth at home, pouring water for everyone, showing off at the same time Said, "That's Baiyangdian's big stick, the big stick that really beat the little devil!"

"The one in Xiaobing Zhang Gali?" Chen Guangling asked in surprise, "This thing looks really exciting!"

"That's not true!" Sui Sui looked proud, "My grandpa's house was dug out!"

"This house was decorated by her"

Wei Ran then boasted, which satisfied the vanity of Sui Sui, and then put the piano case on the sofa and opened it to Chen Guangling and his son, "I have this quiet spring bed at home. That Yaoguang bed is in Russia, and I didn’t bring it back.”

"This is enough," Chen Guangling said hastily, "I don't dare to borrow the bright light on the bed. If it is really bumped, I can't even afford to pay for the piano case."

"Impossible." Wei Ran shook his head dumbfounded, he really didn't think this thing was expensive, but it was obvious that Chen Guangling and his son didn't think so.

"Wei Ran, you take this thing."

While Chen Guangling's wife was speaking, she took out a portfolio from her bag and handed it to Wei Ran, "This is the real estate certificate of our piano shop and the IOU we made, and I will deposit it with you first."

"Not really, really not." Wei Ran quickly waved his hand, "This is too far-fetched."

"take it"

Chen Guangling withdrew his gaze from the piano case, "We don't worry about betting on you, and you can rest assured, otherwise let alone Luo Xiang, I can't let go of this piano when I use it."

Now that the other party said so, Wei Ran stopped insisting, nodded happily, and handed the unopened file bag to Suisui, "Lock it in the safe, since Teacher Chen said so, this thing is here Let it go for a few days."

"That's right"

Chen Guangling also heaved a sigh of relief, and turned to his son, "Luo Xiang, don't be lazy in the next few days, kid."

"That's right! At least pull the strings until they sparkle!" Sui Sui's enticement, which also made everyone laugh, but Chen Luoxiang, who had been looking at the piano box, had written all over his face. firm.

After the joke was over, Chen Guangling's family declined Wei Ran's invitation to stay and have dinner together. After drinking a cup of tea, they took out a large piano bag they had brought in advance from their bag, and put the Guqin Youquan together with its Put it in the box, and prepare to return to Beijing immediately.

The other party was so impatient, Wei Ran and Sui Sui naturally couldn't persuade them to stay, so they simply sent them back to the high-speed rail station.

When the family got into the car, Sui Sui immediately took out the file bag given by Chen Guangling's wife not long ago from her bag.

"Why are you carrying this thing?" Wei Ran asked in surprise.

"Then Qin is worth at least 80!" Sui Sui rolled her eyes, "What if the other party is a liar? You can't be stingy when you should be generous, but you can't be a fool either."

While speaking, Sui Sui had already opened the file bag, took out the contents and looked through it carefully.

"Can you tell the truth?" Wei Ran asked while fiddling with the phone.

"Should seem real"

Sui Sui looked at the real estate certificate solemnly, and then opened the IOU that was sandwiched inside. Not only did the IOU have the signatures and fingerprints of Chen Guangling's family, but it was even stamped with the official seal of their piano shop.

"Okay, don't worry about this." Wei Ran gave Sui Sui a look at his mobile phone, "It's been recording since I got off the car at noon, so I can't run away."

"Don't tell me sooner!"

Hearing this, Sui Sui immediately stuffed the things in his hand back into the file bag and put them in the bag, and flung himself around Wei Ran's arm, chatting about what to eat at night, while leaving the busy high-speed rail station.

　There is a dinner in the evening, and there will be a change today. I hope you will understand and be grateful.
