Xi Songzhou went to make a phone call and came back quickly.
He said with a smile: "Miss Meng, the school is empty during the holidays.
It is inconvenient for you to live here alone.
I have arranged a temporary residence for you.
You come with me."
Meng Lanting followed him out.
A car had already arrived at the school gate, and a driver was waiting aside.
When he saw the two people coming out, he called Xi Songzhou "Third Young Master", hurriedly greeted him, and bowed to Meng Lanting: "Miss Meng, your Where is the luggage?
I'll get it."
Xi Songzhou also turned to look at her.
Meng Lanting said: "When I got off the train, I was robbed."
Xi Songzhou frowned slightly, his eyes filled with concern, and he once again glanced at her short, uneven hair: "The security in that area is indeed worrying.
Are you okay?"
"I'm fine.
Thank you for your concern."
Meng Lanting said in a low voice.
Xi Songzhou nodded: "It's good that you're okay.
If I knew the exact time you arrived, I would have picked you up at the station.
I was negligent."
He opened the car door for Meng Lanting.
After driving for a while, the car seemed to have entered a villa area and stopped.
Meng Lanting got out of the car and found a small bungalow in front of him, with a light on at the door.
A middle-aged maid dressed in old-fashioned clothes quickly came out of the door to take Meng Lanting in.
She was a little surprised and turned to Xi Songzhou.
"This is my simple residence.
It is mostly empty on weekdays, and the neighborhood is relatively clean.
It has been packed out, so you can stay here with peace of mind."
He told the maid: "Mother Hu, Miss Meng probably hasn't eaten yet.
Get her some food.
Find out what she needs and buy it for her."
The maid agreed.
Xi Songzhou looked at Meng Lanting and paused.
"Then you can rest early, I won't disturb you.
I'm leaving first."
Meng Lanting thanked him.
He nodded with a smile and motioned to the maid to take her in first.
He stopped outside the door and watched her disappear behind the door before leaving.
Hu Ma's attitude was respectful and her movements were quick.
She quickly prepared a meal and came to invite Meng Lanting.
The warm house, delicious hot food, Xi Songzhou and the kind and talkative maid in front of her made Meng Lanting's stiff body and tense nerves slowly relax, and he noticed that she glanced at her hair from time to time. , he hesitated to speak, so he opened his mouth to borrow scissors and planned to repair it himself.
Hu Ma immediately volunteered.
"Ms.
Meng, I used to help eldest girls and young daughters-in-law trim their hair and faces.
Even though I'm just a waiter, I usually pay attention to the hairstyles and clothes that are fashionable on the street now.
Who gave you such a haircut?

Isn’t that a waste of time?
If you believe it, I’ll fix it for you.
You’re so handsome.
It’s great to fix your hair.”
Meng Lanting nodded with a smile.
Hu Ma went to sharpen her scissors and came back soon.
She asked Meng Lanting to sit in front of the mirror, put a piece of cloth around her body, and began to trim her hair.
"Okay, Miss Meng, look in the mirror, are you satisfied?"
A joyful voice sounded in his ears, interrupting Meng Lanting's thoughts.
She opened her eyes.
The uneven and messy hair disappeared and turned into refreshing ear-length short hair.
The long hair she had had for so many years suddenly disappeared on the first day she came to Shanghai.
She will probably never forget what she experienced today.
She looked at herself in the mirror, who was familiar yet a little strange at the same time, and felt briefly in a trance.
"I really have never seen a lady who looks better with short hair than you, Miss Meng.
Take a look and see if the haircut is not good, I will correct it."
Hu Ma was obviously very satisfied with her craftsmanship, but she still did not forget to be humble.
Meng Lanting touched his short hair, shook his head and said, "Very good.
Thank you, Ma Hu."
Mother Hu was very happy.
While packing her things, she said, "You're welcome, Miss Meng.
You've just arrived.
If you don't know anything, just ask me.
I've been in Shanghai for many years."
Meng Lanting's heart moved slightly.
He hesitated and asked, "Have you ever heard of who Feng Kezhi is?"
Hu Ma let out a cry: "You mean the little ninth master of the Feng family doesn't know that Mr.
Xi's family and the Feng family have some relatives.
Mr.
Xi is older than the little ninth master of the Feng family, and he has a higher seniority.
He’s Xiaojiuye’s cousin.”
Meng Lanting was stunned.
When this topic was brought up, Madam Hu seemed to open up her chatterbox and talk endlessly.
"That little Master Jiu is the Feng family's treasure.
No one dares to mess with it."
According to the rumors she heard somewhere, the most widely circulated anecdote about the ninth son of the Feng family was his experience of studying abroad a few years ago.
He was the only son in the Feng family.
When he was seventeen, Mr.
Feng sent him to study in the United States, where he studied economics.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived in the United States, he paid for someone to pretend to be himself and sent various reports home on time, while he secretly went to West Point Military Academy.
It was not until two years later that the news leaked out, and Mr.
Feng was so angry.
If he was going to die, he was taken back immediately.
This was two years ago.
After Little Master Jiu came back, he refused to go to Nanjing to work.

Master Feng had no choice but to give in and allowed him to stay in Shanghai, on the condition that he could not join the army.
So in the past two years, the ninth son of the Feng family has become a Shanghai Shili Anyone who is a popular figure in foreign affairs and has some social contacts and connections will naturally know that his reputation is not a good one.
Hu Ma was excited when she spoke, but she was still a little wary obviously.
She did not dare to criticize Mr.
Feng's fault.
She only said in a tactful tone: "I heard that Mr.
Ninth also has a lot of girlfriends, but it's nothing.
Now it's like There are very few noble sons like Mr.
Xi who have studied abroad and are willing to concentrate on learning. " "Have you seen what that Ninth Young Master looks like?"
Meng Lanting asked as he saw in front of his eyes the image of a young man who introduced himself to his family during the day.
"I met him once last year."
Hu Ma gestured, "She is very tall, so tall, neither fat nor thin, with a high nose bridge and eyes like floating flowers.
She really looks good."
Following Hu's mother's description, Meng Lanting finally confirmed that the "Feng Kezhi" she met was the son of the Feng family whom she had originally come to seek help from.
There is no human relationship between the two families, and the Feng family has such a son.
Even if they are shameless, they may not really take it seriously if they agree.
Thinking again of the words left by the Feng family's son before leaving, Meng Lanting felt more and more that he might still obstruct it.
Her mood became increasingly depressed.
"Miss Meng, why did you ask the Ninth Young Master of the Feng family?
If you have anything, you can tell Mr.
Xi.
He can help you introduce him."
Hu Ma enthusiastically provided her with advice.
Meng Lanting came back to his senses and smiled: "It's okay.
I just heard people talking about him, so I just asked."
I was anxious before and just wanted to come over quickly.
In fact, if you think about it, there are only a few days until the end of the year, and everyone is busy with family affairs, especially from this kind of family.
Even if you go looking for him, now is not the time to visit.
It's better to wait patiently for Uncle Zhou to come back, and then make the next step after meeting him.
The next day, Feng Kezhi drove to the garrison barracks of the 1st and 2nd Division in Zhabei.
Barbed wire fences and protective walls were erected outside the barracks.
The sentries were armed with live ammunition and the defense was as tight as in wartime.
A few miles away, there was a warning sign to keep out of sight.
But Feng Kezhi is a frequent visitor here.
Everyone knows about his relationship with his teacher, He Fangze.
Seeing him coming, he would naturally not stop him.
He drove straight in.
After parking the car, he went straight to the place where he usually used for office and rest.
The 1st and 2nd Divisions have repeatedly made military exploits and are well-known as meritorious divisions.
He Fangze is also famous in the military for his strict military management.
He was born in the army, and when he was only in his thirties, he rose from a small platoon leader to the position of division commander.
It can be said that he has a prosperous official career and a bright future.
But this place is very simple, just a square bedroom.
If you don't know it, it would be hard to believe that this would be the living environment of a division-level officer.
Feng Kezhi sent the orderlies who came to accompany him diligently and waited there alone.

He leaned back on the single iron bed with his hands folded behind his head.
From time to time outside the window came the shouts of soldiers practicing in the distance and the sound of target shooting.
He closed his eyes, a pair of long eyelashes drooping low on his eyelids, motionless, as if he had fallen asleep.
There was a sound of vigorous footsteps outside the barracks.
Feng Kezhi's eyelids twitched, he quickly opened his eyes and jumped up from the bed.
"Mr.
He" The sound of a guard standing at attention and saluting came from outside.
An officer strode up outside the door.
He had a straight waist, outstanding appearance, and piercing eyes.
He paused at the door, his eyes fell on Feng Kezhi, he smiled, and called "Kezhi."
"Why are you here today?
I just came back.
How long have you been waiting?"
As he asked, he took off his military hat and coat and walked towards the coat rack in the corner of the room.
Feng Kezhi seemed to have great respect for this man.
He followed up and said, "Brother-in-law, my eighth sister came yesterday.
I know that brother-in-law, you have something to do in a suburban county and you should be unable to get away, so I simply won't notify you.
You can do it tonight."
Time, I told Sister Eight not to go socializing.
I’ve booked a seat at the hotel.
How about the three of us have dinner together?
It’s been a long time since I’ve had dinner with my brother-in-law and sister.”
He Fangze paused for a moment while taking off his hat, then continued.
After hanging up the clothes, he turned around and said with a smile: "Okay.
Just look at the arrangements."
Feng Kezhi looked happy: "Then it's settled."
He reported the hotel name and room number.
He Fangze nodded.
"By the way, yesterday I bought a box of Rongji pastries for my eighth sister.
I said you told me to do so, brother-in-law.
When I met my eighth sister in the evening, brother-in-law, please don't let it slip.
My eighth sister likes white roses.
I've already called the hotel door.
Tong is ready.
When you get there, go and pick it up, give it to my eighth sister, and say you prepared it."
"besides" Feng Kezhi snapped his fingers and took out the ticket from his suit pocket.
"After dinner, you can just go and watch a movie.
There's nothing a woman doesn't like about IC's set."
He Fangze was silent for a moment and smiled bitterly: "It's hard for you to be so considerate.
Brother-in-law, I have nothing to thank you for."
Feng Kezhi waved his hand and said with a smile: "No need to thank me.
As long as you, brother-in-law, are good to my eighth sister, I will be satisfied.
Of course."
He paused.
"Brother-in-law, it would be better if you could let me come to your place."

"no" "Sister specifically called me not long ago, so I can't go against it.
Besides, I don't approve of you getting involved in the military."
He Fangze's tone was firm.
"Brother-in-law, to be honest, the situation is getting worse and worse."
"Even if a war breaks out, we soldiers will still be able to stop us.
If you do your own thing well, you are also fulfilling your national responsibilities."
A shadow flashed across Feng Kezhi's eyes, and then he showed a nonchalant expression and shrugged.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore.
I'll leave first.
Brother-in-law, don't be late tonight."
He Fangze smiled slightly: "I know."
The next day, the sun rose above the head, and Feng Kezhi, who had not been seen for many days, finally appeared in an office on the fourth floor of the city government.
Seeing that his face was gloomy and his mood was obviously bad, Secretary Wang didn't know who had offended him.
He lingered at the door for a moment, then brought in a thick stack of information, put it on his desk, and said respectfully: " Director Feng, I have already prepared all these documents, all I need is your official seal.
It’s almost the end of the year.
Please stamp each one when it’s convenient for you.”
Feng Kezhi said casually.
Secretary Wang pointed to one of the documents and whispered: "This is the report letter I just received a few days ago, reporting that Director Ding of the Ministry of Industry Bureau embezzled public funds.
The details are attached with the letter.
Because the suspected amount is not small, I didn’t say anything to anyone.
It’s up to the director to decide whether you want to report it or not.”
After that, he bowed and left.
Feng Kezhi took out the report letter, flipped through it a few times, stared at the detailed list, was lost in thought for a moment, and grabbed the intercom phone on the table.
Soon, Ding Feng from the Ministry of Industry Bureau on the third floor appeared at the door with a bright face.
As he walked in, he joked with a smile: "Brother Feng called me.
Brother Yu is honored to call me.
I haven't seen you for a few days.
Brother, you look even more impressive.
But.
I don’t know why I summon Brother Yu.”
Mrs.
Ding's natal family has a very strong backing in Nanjing.
He is also good at dancing, talking to people and telling ghosts, and he has always been very comfortable in the city government.
Feng Kezhi pushed the document in front of him with a smile and said: "Director Ding, someone reported that you embezzled public funds through road construction.
As you know, I just wait to die.
This is the first time I have encountered such a thing.
I really don’t know what to do.
Director Ding, please give me some advice." gd1806102:
