Chapter 231: Chapter 231 A Gentleman Does Not Stand Under a Collapsing Wall_1

Song Yunuan chuckled, "Grandpa Hu, if you have time to visit Erdao River, you’ll see that to truly accomplish something, it doesn’t mean you have to invest a huge sum of money.

There are many ways to do it.

For instance, if we call out with one voice to bravely unite and build a brand new Nanshan County Town, just you watch, within half a month, I guarantee Nanshan County Town will be completely transformed."

Old Mr. Hu just laughed, hoping it would be so. And to be honest, he was somewhat looking forward to it.

He said, "It’s just like you to have so many crazy ideas. By the way, what do you need from me?"

Song Yunuan knew that the approval for establishing the Staff and Cadre College in Nanshan County Town had a lot to do with her.

Most importantly, she had helped Old Mr. Lin.

And indirectly accomplished two other things.

One was for Old Erha, and the other was for Emperor Kang’s Tomb.

There were also connections with Grandpa Lin.

But to make it more secure, this was far from enough.

Originally, she had other methods in mind.

But now, she was presented with a perfect opportunity.

Song Yunuan thought contentedly, this is what they mean by good people getting good rewards.

Thus, Song Yunuan said openly, "I came to see Grandpa Hu because I want to verify something."

Old Master Hu was in a good mood and followed her lead, asking, "What is it that you want to verify?"

"About the two little boys who were kidnapped from the First Department Store and then found again, I heard that their surname is Hu. I wonder if they have any relation to you, Grandpa Hu?"

Old Master Hu was taken aback for a moment and squinted his eyes.

He countered with a question, though, "Where did you hear about that?"

The incident was not made public, either through Luo Zhiwu’s side or the police.

Little Nuan shouldn’t know about it.

Apart from knowing him and Old Lin, she didn’t know anyone else in the provincial capital.

Could it have been Old Lin who told her?

Song Yunuan smiled slyly, "No need to guess, no one told me. Just tell me if those two kids are related to you."

Old Mr. Hu glanced at Song Yunuan, wondering what she was up to but said anyway, "They are my brother’s grandsons, a pair of twins, two little rascals."

Even though Old Master Hu spoke of it now, he still felt a chill in his heart.

He didn’t dare imagine if the children were truly lost, could the grandparents endure such pain?

They could have gone mad or passed away.

Or they might have roamed the ends of the earth looking for the children.

His brother’s family would have fallen apart too.

After all, his brother only had one son, and those two children were his treasures. All it took was bending down to tie a shoelace for his wife, and the kids vanished without a trace.

It was as if the heavens had collapsed at that moment.

Nowadays, finding lost children isn’t so easy, and it’s possible they might never be found.

Besides, he was also fond of those two boys, who looked very much like his late younger son.

A flicker of pain passed through Old Mr. Hu’s eyes, but it quickly disappeared.

Song Yunuan gave a mischievous smile, "What if I told you that finding those children has something to do with me? Would you believe me?"

Old Mr. Hu nodded without hesitation, "I believe!"

They say with age comes wisdom, especially for those like him and Old Mr. Lin who have weathered many storms.

And this girl, Song Yunuan, was no ordinary young lady.

Song Yunuan was taken aback, "You actually believe that?"

"Why wouldn’t I believe it? I trust everything Little Nuan says."

This time, Song Yunuan’s smile was brilliant.

With a touch of pride and a bit of boasting, she told Old Mr. Hu about how she got the information about the location of the children from the mouths of Luo Zhiwu and his men, how she pressured them to go to the police station to report, and that she had instructed them not to blabber about it.

This was indirectly clearing things up for Luo Zhiwu.

Old Mr. Hu was genuinely shocked.

So that’s how it was, that’s how it was!

Actually, at that time, they were all very desperate, because it was like finding a needle in the ocean.

But by dawn, there was news, and by noon, they had been rescued. It turned out that Little Nuan was the reason behind this.

This little girl wouldn’t happen to be a little lucky charm, would she?

Looking at Song Yunuan, his eyes filled with even more tenderness and warmth, yet he pretended to put on a stern face, "So, what do you want to do?"

Song Yunuan responded with confidence, "Of course I want a reward."

Old Mr. Hu couldn’t help but smile. He was truly happy that Little Nuan had the audacity to come to him so openly.

The girl had the makings of a great leader!

And she didn’t see herself as an outsider either.

"The reward you ask for is yours by right. Tell me, what do you want?"

Song Yunuan laughed, "Who are we if not father and daughter? This is your fortune for having mentees all over the place. Otherwise, how could I have come across such good luck?"

Her words were truly pleasing to the ear.

Old Mr. Hu became happier and laughed heartily.

He had indeed taken her as his granddaughter.

Then they got back to the main topic. Song Yunuan mentioned she wanted Liu Wen to set up a sales outlet in the provincial capital to exclusively sell clothes and accessories produced by the Zhilan Garment Factory.

But since this was a pilot, they would start just with selling hair accessories. The hair accessories would arrive by the night’s delivery, and they would try selling them at the Provincial Capital First Department Store the next day.

Song Yunuan asked Old Mr. Hu if he had any students studying commerce, to see what approach they could use to set up a stall in front of the First Department Store.

Old Mr. Hu looked at Song Yunuan, stunned.

"When did your family establish the Zhilan Garment Factory?"

"As soon as I get back, it will be established."

Old Mr. Hu: ...

"So how did you get in touch with these three people again?"

"They came looking for me. That’s how I found out the child’s surname was Hu."

Old Master Hu suddenly remembered something, "...What were you doing out on the streets so late at night without sleep?"

Then he said indignantly, "Song Yunuan, your courage is too great.

Those three people might not be evil criminals, but still, they are no good people, being petty thieves and the like.

Are you fearless because you’ve eaten the heart of a bear and the gall of a leopard?"

Old Master Hu, belatedly catching up, only then picked out several key points from the situation.

Song Yunuan spoke, "Grandpa Hu, that’s another matter altogether, and it’s quite complicated. When you’re less busy, let’s sit down with Grandpa Lin, and I’ll tell you both the story."

Old Mr. Hu: "Why can’t you tell me the story now?"

"I’m worried Grandpa Lin will be jealous, saying I’m playing favorites."

Old Mr. Hu pointed his finger at Song Yunuan.

At first glance, she seemed obedient and clever, but now it appeared that this little girl was like a cunning spirit.

Yet he still became serious, and scolded Song Yunuan not to act recklessly just because she was strong and had skills others didn’t possess.

What would her fate be if suddenly she lost the abilities she relied on? It’s said that a wise man does not stand under a shaky wall.

This isn’t just a saying.

Regardless of whatever excuses there were, it was dangerous for a young girl to be out in the streets in the middle of the night.

Song Yunuan knew Old Mr. Hu truly cared for her well-being, so she hastily agreed, also mentioning that her father didn’t know, and begged him not to tell anyone.

Old Mr. Hu shook his head helplessly.

Then he made a phone call.

It was extremely easy how a mere phone call could resolve the matter.

The person on the other end even asked if they needed to clear out a counter at the First Department Store for them, and offered to sort a business license. Now, individual enterprise was being encouraged from the higher-ups, although not many people were taking action yet, so it could serve as an example.

Song Yunuan, however, had an idea.

For her family’s service station, once she returned, they could also rent a counter at the county’s department store.

As for the salesclerk, that was easy. She could ask Zhou Xiaohua if she wanted to go, since they had experience selling gourds together before the Dragon Boat Festival.
