I am a cripple in the Siheyuan. Who am I afraid of?

Chapter 593 The Phone Rings
Gao Xiaomiao looked at He Shunli, who had fainted on the tatami, and couldn't help shaking her head. "Dad is right. Girls should practice some martial arts for self-defense. Sooner or later, they will run into people with ulterior motives."

This He Shunli was too vulnerable. His physical strength was not proportional to the evil degree of his thoughts. It only took a wave of the hand to deal with him. I guess even the people outside didn't hear the noise.

Gao Xiaomiao straightened her clothes, looked at He Shunli with disdain, stood up again, opened the sliding door, and walked out of the tatami room. She put on her shoes at the door and quickly left the courtyard that had been changed beyond all recognition.

…………

He Qiong rode a small rainbow scooter through the alleys of Beijing.

She could feel that this ancient city was thriving with vitality. Compared with the high-rise buildings in Hong Kong, she preferred the alleys and courtyards with traces of the long years.

It seems that even the leaves on every tree remember interesting stories.

And this place gave her another feeling, as if Lou Xiao'e, Aunt Lou's business was everywhere.

She especially liked the little motorcycle that Song Xiaofeng had, with its small pedals, very cute and compact, but very powerful. She had seen many of them on the streets of BJ today.

So this also gave her a sense of familiarity and intimacy here, because the familiar things in Hong Kong were also within reach here.

She came here to stay in hotels, eat in restaurants, and especially, when she saw Huaren Hospital, and drug stores, and of course, the billboards on the road.

At this moment, He Qiong finally had an epiphany. No wonder Aunt Lou, who used to be a bit low-key, has developed her career so rapidly recently.

She was very interested in business because of her family, so she knew what a huge potential market meant to doing business. No wonder the old saying goes that the deer in the Central Plains are fat.

It turns out that Dad and his friends don't quite understand Aunt Lou's style of doing things. Others are engaged in finance and real estate speculation.

She devoted herself to scientific research and experiments. Although her business was spread all over the world, she worked very hard. Compared with Uncle Li's family, she seemed quiet.

The main reason is that at that time, the company was not very prominent in terms of technology or scale in various product fields. I don’t know why, but it has developed very fast in the past two or three years.

Just like a snowball, in the blink of an eye, it grows from an insignificant little snowball into a behemoth.

Looking back now, it is so easy to understand. Riding the spring breeze of reform, it has taken root everywhere and thrived. This is a land full of rich nutrients, hungry for food, and as long as you sow seeds, sweet fruits will grow. They complement each other and provide nutrition to each other.

He Qiong originally only knew that the mainland was vast and had a huge market, but she had no real concept of it. Only when she was actually there and experienced it did she realize how huge it was.

With so many people, such a large area, and so many demands, what products and industries can't be developed? Oh my God, she now admires Auntie Lou Xiao'e very much. What kind of vision does it take to work and prepare silently for more than ten years just for a booming development?

Take Song Xiaofeng for example. When they were high school students, they were still dating girlfriends, fighting and joining clubs in Hong Kong.

However, Song Xiaofeng has become the head of the group company and a senior engineer of electronic and mechanical equipment.

I heard that he is busy recently, building communication base stations in this vast land, promoting a wireless communication system that they have been researching in Hong Kong for many years. This technology is said to be the most advanced in the world.

It turns out that those developed countries have not yet had it, but they were the first to revive on this ancient land.

Just now, on his birthday, Song Xiaofeng gave him a very strange electronic product as a gift. According to the card, it was called a mobile phone. He Qiong knew of a similar thing, a wireless phone that had just been developed in Europe. But that one was big and clumsy, and it was too ugly compared to this small, cute, flip-top mobile phone.

Song Xiaofeng told her that he knew he was coming to the mainland, so he gave her the mobile phone as a gift and asked her to bring it with her when she came to the mainland from Hong Kong. Because it is very likely that the first batch of base stations will be opened at any time in the near future. He said that she could use her mobile phone to make calls at that time. He Qiong found it a little unimaginable. What kind of situation would that be?
Yesterday, when she got off the plane and checked into the hotel, she immediately turned on her phone and charged it as Song Xiaofeng requested. But until now, there is still no signal.

Hmm? Nanluoguxiang, how do I get there? He Qiong was a little lost after turning around for a while. It might be because she was paying too much attention to the situation on both sides just now, so she was not focused enough and got lost.

She stopped her motorcycle and took out a map from her bag. After searching for a long time, she still couldn't find where she was. She shouldn't have been so arrogant and refused to let Song Xiaofeng pick her up. She had to find the place by herself.

He Qiong looked around, trying to find someone to ask for directions, and happened to see an old lady with a red headband. She rode her scooter up to the old lady.

"Hello, Auntie, I want to ask for directions. Where is this?"

The aunt looked at He Qiong, sized her up, and said with a smile, "Girl, are you from Hong Kong?"

He Qiong nodded happily.

"From what I hear from your accent, there have been quite a few people from Hong Kong coming to BJ in the past two years. I can even speak a few words of Hong Kong dialect. What a tired monkey."

He Qiong was stunned for a moment before she realized what the aunt was saying and couldn't help laughing.

The old lady also laughed, and then she said to He Qiong: "This is Dongmianhua Hutong, girl, you..."

Before the auntie could finish her words, music suddenly sounded from He Qiong's bag, and both of them were startled.

He Qiong didn't react at first. It rang for several seconds before she realized what was going on. She hurriedly opened her bag and took out her cell phone which had been inside and had not responded at all. It was really ringing.

Fortunately, when Song Xiaofeng gave it to her, the letter was clearly written, asking her to familiarize herself with the operation.

Although He Qiong did not really follow his instructions, he fiddled with it a few times to get by. After all, it was a rare gadget, and it had no other use except for telling time.

So at this moment, the phone suddenly responded and music started playing. It took He Qiong only a short time to realize that someone was calling, because according to the operation, this is the reaction when someone calls.

Under the fat lady's surprised gaze, He Qiong opened the flip cover and put the thing that was thinking about music to his ear.

"Hey?"

"Hello, Little Jon. Where are you now?"

It turned out to be Song Xiaofeng's voice. He Qiong said happily: "I just asked an old lady for directions, and she told me this is Dongmianhua Hutong."

"It's not far away. Just keep going east. If you see any buildings on the roadside, tell me and I'll show you the way."

The auntie seemed to have heard that the girl was talking to someone while holding that strange thing. What was that?

He Qiong nodded to the old lady to express his gratitude, then rode his motorcycle, talking on the phone and following Song Xiaofeng's instructions, he headed towards Nanluoguxiang.
