Riding the wind of rebirth

Chapter 1281 Shanghai

The price of a house of HK$500,000 is just the average price. Generally speaking, there are large and small houses.

However, there is no need to question the location. The capital city during the Ming and Qing Dynasties was so big, and the area where this house is located is considered a suburb. It is similar to Huanhua Creek in the capital of Shu, and is a scenic spot for literati and officials.

As a house located in the "suburbs", the area here is larger than that of Demian Hall. The front nunnery and back warehouse add up to more than one acre, which is a bit larger than Demian Hall.

However, Demian Hall was decorated by Director Li, and it is much dilapidated. Many doors and windows in the warehouse were damaged, and the former Haichao Temple in front has been turned into a large courtyard, which is quite dilapidated.

Zhou Zhi walked around a lot and found that except for the entrance gatehouse and the two remaining stone tablets, the rest of the place was completely ruined and worthless.

Thinking about it again, if it was valuable, the Cultural Preservation Office would not move away and put this place up for sale.

Jicheng's approach provided Zhou Zhi with an idea, which was to demolish this place, and then demolish and relocate some ancient buildings that were in urgent need of protection but were not graded from Huizhou, Shanxi, and Hebei, and restore them in the capital.

This thing can be done. After the day's tour, Zhou Zhi went to Wang Laoqi and Lao Ma to discuss this matter. This matter would still inevitably trouble Lao Feng and Lao Pan.

However, Lao Feng and Lao Pan were also happy. To paraphrase a later saying, this is based on its own business while also assuming social responsibilities. It is a high-end project and needs to be carried out under the guidance of experts from the National Museum and the Palace Museum. It is also an extremely important task for the restoration of ancient buildings in the capital. Big promotion.

Nowadays, there are very few opportunities for craftsmen to practice their skills, and many skills are in danger of being lost. Zhou Zhi’s suggestion has undoubtedly saved the lives of the carpentry and lacquer workers of many cultural protection units.

The only one who suffers is Zhou Zhi, who needs to spend real money.

But Zhou Zhi doesn't care at all, because the project that will bring him a huge amount of real money has already been launched in Shanghai.

The current express train from the capital to Shanghai takes fourteen hours. Zhou Zhi seized another day and met with Feng Cang, Pan Shiya and others, and explained that he would give the ten courtyards he bought to the ancient building restoration unit in Beijing as a reward. After that, they discussed the possibility of constructing a "new Chinese-style villa" in the future. For Feng and Pan, it was a quite tempting idea.

After that, Zhou Zhi couldn't wait to get on the night train at 6pm and rush to Shanghai.

The train arrived in Shanghai at 8:16 in the morning. Zhou Zhi walked out of the train station dragging his all-aluminum trolley suitcase, which was still very "foreign-style", when he saw a pretty figure.

"Comfortable!"

Jiang Shuyi had bad eyesight. Although she was wearing glasses, she still stared at the station door with her accustomed squinting movements. When she heard Zhou Zhi shouting, she ran over with surprise on her face and bumped into Zhou Zhi's arms: "Zhou Zhi!"

This was the first time Zhou Zhi received such a proactive hug from Jiang Shuyi, and he couldn't help but put his arms around her.

At this moment, the time that belonged to the two of them seemed to have stopped. The hurried crowds coming and going, the big clock on the clock tower in the center of the square, and the large display screen in front of the station, which is rare in the country, seemed to have nothing to do with the two of them.

After a while, Zhou Zhi stroked Jiang Shuyi's hair: "Shu Yi, have you been waiting for a long time?"

"No." Jiang Shuyi raised her little face and said happily: "I didn't expect you to really come."

"As I said, I'll try to come and see you this semester." Zhou Zhi smiled and said, "How can I keep my words from my words?"

"Yes." Jiang Shuyi held Zhou Zhi's arm: "Where are we going now?"

The GRE test is on Friday, and today happens to be Sunday. Zhou Zhi said: "Go back to your school first and find a hotel nearby. Then I will be fine today and can spend time with you."

"Then let's go for a walk on the Bund later?" Jiang Shuyi said, "Last time we saw a Guangdong Road there. It seemed to be filled with antiques, calligraphy and paintings. You should like it."

"If it's troublesome, we can just hang out on your campus." Zhou Zhi smiled.

"Well, let's go first."

Although it was a weekend, the traffic in Shanghai at 8 a.m. was still so crowded. Jiang Shuyi held Zhou Zhi’s hand and walked towards the bus station. Zhou Zhi did not dare to call a taxi directly because the suitcase was quite large and there were many passengers around. Eye roll. But Zhou Zhi didn't feel it either. He only had Jiang Shuyi in his eyes now, and it was serious to protect her tightly from being squeezed by others.

Jiang Shuyi carefully snuggled into Zhou Zhi's arms and gently held his shoulders.

The weather has warmed up in April and the clothes have become thinner. It seems that both of them can feel each other's heartbeat. Although the journey is long, they are intoxicated in the atmosphere of such coexistence and are almost unaware of the journey.

An hour later, the car arrived at the entrance of Fudan University. Jiang Shuyi led Zhou Zhi out of the car. Zhou Zhi said, "Shanghai is really big. The bus line is over 900."

Jiang Shuyi's mind was still a little agitated, and her reaction seemed a little slow: "Huh?"

"Where should we go now?" Zhou Zhi asked, "Where is your school's hotel?"

"It's not far over there." Jiang Shuyi smoothed her hair and used her actions to calm down her mood: "Come on, let's go there."

Then he took Zhou Zhi's hand and said, "Let's walk around the campus in a while. Xinxin and Xinyi are coming too."

"Would you like to treat the classmates in your dormitory to a meal? It seems this is a fixed project?" Zhou Zhi asked with a smile: "Do they know me?"

Jiang Shuyi pinched Zhou Zhi's fingers gently: "How could you not know? From what you said, it seems that their boyfriend also invited everyone to dinner."

"Well, let's follow the crowd and go through the process." Zhou Zhi was very happy.

Universities in Shanghai are well funded, especially key universities like Fudan.

If Sichuan University wants to join the 211 program, it will also merge with West China University and Shudu University of Science and Technology. Fudan University has no need at all, and its backbone is very strong.

Therefore, the hotel in Fudan University is in much better condition than the guest house in Shu University. It is a three-star hotel building.

However, when checking in, the aunt at the front desk looked at Zhou Zhi and Jiang Shuyi again and again, and finally completed the procedures for Zhou Zhi, then coughed lightly: "Sometimes the police will come at night, and we all have to cooperate with the inspection. In order to To avoid unnecessary trouble, unregistered outsiders cannot live here, young man, do you understand?"

"No, eldest sister." Zhou Zhi smiled playfully.

The aunt looked at Jiang Shuyi, sighed, and gave the room card to Zhou Zhi.

When they came to the elevator, Jiang Shuyi asked Zhou Zhi: "What did the aunt at the front desk mean when she said that just now?"

Zhou Zhi couldn't stop laughing, and pressed the floor of his room: "Auntie is actually ordering you. Little girls should keep themselves clean, and don't be fooled by the brat..."

"Oops!" Jiang Shuyi finally understood and blushed: "This aunt is really, really..."

"Auntie is actually quite nice, and she also has good intentions." Looking at Jiang Shuyi's appearance, Zhou Zhi became more mischievous again, and whispered in Jiang Shuyi's ear: "Shuyi, in fact, Auntie's worries are not It doesn’t make sense…”

"He's talking nonsense again..." Jiang Shuyi murmured in a low voice, gently pinching Zhou Zhi's fingers: "If you dare to do this, I, I will..."

"How about you?"

"I'll tell Auntie you bullied me!"

"Well, this is a good idea. I forgot that you can still go to heaven to listen..."
