Chapter 809: Food, Wine, and Beauty
Chang Siqi pursed her lips and smiled. Just based on these dishes... she could conclude that Lin Chen was definitely not an ordinary person.
I really don't want to leave my hometown, so I can donate all the properties in Jinling City. But I can't donate all the yellow croakers that my grandfather and father have accumulated! I can't take them abroad... Should I give them all away? That would be really unbearable!
At this moment, Chang Siqi decided to start with Lin Chen to find a way out for the Chang family...
The two of them first enjoyed the tender and delicious steak to fill their rumbling stomachs...
Lin Chen poured two glasses of red wine from the decanter...
Accompanied by the beautiful music, the two raised their glasses and clinked them lightly.
“Good food, good wine and beautiful women…”
Chang Siqi did not feel disgusted by Lin Chen's praise. If ordinary people said this, it would feel different...
"Comrade Lin Chen also has a handsome man!"
……
After they both took a sip, Lin Chen put down his glass and reached out to Chang Siqi.
"Ms. Siqi, the atmosphere is right now. Can I invite you to dance?"
"of course can!"
Chang Siqi first took off her mink cape...
A set of pure silk cheongsam is generous and decent, showing the perfect figure of the young lady...
Lin Chen had already learned various ballroom dances before attending the last social gathering, and now he can cooperate with Chang Siqi with ease.
Although the two were dancing, Lin Chen controlled the distance very well and did not take advantage of her...
After the dance, Chang Siqi's liking for Lin Chen increased greatly.
The two returned to the table and sat down, continuing to enjoy their meal...
"Comrade Lin Chen, if I want to work, can your steel mill arrange for me to work? I can't just sit there and do nothing... In the current situation, the best option is to work."
At this time, most of the problematic capitalists were undergoing labor reform...
It is not easy to go to work comfortably, and even if you go to work, you have to do physical work in the workshop.
Lin Chen shook his head first...
"I'm afraid you can't use the identity of the eldest daughter of the Chang family, although you are preparing for a rainy day. The current situation is not that unfriendly to you, but you can't say for sure what will happen in the future. If you use the identity of the eldest daughter of the Chang family to work, you will be dug out sooner or later..."
Chang Siqi had also thought about these things, but her identity was already a foregone conclusion...there was no way to change it.
Many people have been consulted these days, but it cannot change the Chang family’s capitalist status... No matter how many small yellow croakers they bring, they will not accept them.
"Well, that's fine! This is really hard to handle... I'll think of other ways."
Lin Chen raised his glass again and gestured, and the two of them clinked their glasses lightly.
"I said you can't use the identity of the eldest daughter of the Chang family, I didn't say other identities are not allowed. Can't you just use your connections to change it?"
Lin Chen thought, for no reason... I won't help you just because you deserve to dance. Who are you to me? I will take risks for you.
Your fiancé in France is still alive and well, I don't want to do anything in vain...
It is only the end of May 1954, and there are still several years before that guy is hung on the wall.
Chang Siqi smiled bitterly and shook her head.
"I have been searching for connections for three days and have used all the connections I can! The Chang family is too famous in Jinling, just like the Lou family in the Forty-Nine City... It can't be changed! Comrade Lin Chen, do you have any connections in this regard? As long as you are willing to help, I will definitely reward you handsomely."
Chang Siqi sent people back to Jinling to make final preparations, and to retreat immediately if the situation was not right. Saving one's life was the first priority, and money would be nothing more than a thing outside of one's body.
Lin Chen did not agree, but he did not refuse either...
"Don't worry, it's not that serious right now. There's still room for everything... If you believe me, just be patient and wait. As for going to work, there's no rush. I have acquaintances at the Jiaodaokou Street Office... I'll go say hello first, and they won't come to check on you."
In order to keep this "lucky fish" stable, Lin Chen still had to make some promises to her. Otherwise, what if she got scared and ran away? He couldn't force her to stay...
Chang Siqi, who was a little disappointed just now, immediately saw hope again after hearing what Lin Chen said. She felt that this brother would not release the eagle until he saw the rabbit...
"Then I will trust Comrade Lin Chen once more and wait a little longer... I hope there will be a day when things will turn around."
After a French dinner, the two went from being comrades to becoming friends...
The heavy snow outside still showed no sign of stopping.
Chang Siqi started to worry again... Even if she waited, she would have to live in the city.
It is difficult to move around in this city without a ticket... How can I afford food and drink in the freezing snow?
"Lin Chen, can I ask you for a favor?"
Lin Chen looked at the other party and smiled: "Do you want supplies?"
Chang Siqi didn't expect Lin Chen to be so wise. He knew what she wanted to say as soon as she opened her mouth.
"Well, it's not in vain...wait a moment."
Chang Siqi got up and walked to the inner room, and came back after a while... and then placed a red handkerchief in front of the two of them.
"Lin Chen, here are five small yellow croakers. Can you help me get some daily necessities? Just enough for me..."
Lin Chen didn't hesitate to pick up the handkerchief, weighed it, and put it in his pocket.
"It's okay for friends to help each other. How about this, you have a lot of rooms here and it's a bit empty living alone... I'll arrange for a nanny to keep you company! I won't take these things for nothing, they are enough for you to live comfortably... Someone will deliver the supplies this afternoon."
Chang Siqi didn't expect Lin Chen to actually hire a servant. He was really brave. Who would dare to hire someone these days, unless they wanted to die.
"Lin Chen, forget it, Madam! I have hands and feet, and I can do the laundry and cooking by myself... You just need to get me some supplies."
Lin Chen looked at the other person's nervous expression and knew that she was really scared!
The people who are most uncertain these days are the rich people like them...
"Don't be afraid. Since I dare to use you, I am 100% reliable. Just call yourself your aunt to the neighbors outside. I am very reliable. You can wash clothes and cook, but you may not be used to using the stove and the kang! It's good to have someone to talk to every day... You are so beautiful, it's not safe for you to be alone. The city is not peaceful now..."
After hearing this, Chang Siqi stood up again. She wanted to give more small yellow croaker to Lin Chen.
"Wait for me a moment...I..."
As a result, Lin Chen raised his hand and pulled her wrist...
"We are friends, so there is no need to be polite. Since I suggest you stay and wait... I will definitely let you spend this winter comfortably."
Chang Siqi looked at Lin Chen pulling her hand, smiled slightly and pushed him away with her other hand.
"Well then! You are the only one in the city who is willing to be my friend. I will wait for your good news."
