Chapter 532 Persistence and Tradition
Chapter 532: Adhere to tradition
As a coastal city, as a city with a very long history of colonization, the urban architecture of Yanjing, the capital of the Tadian Federation, is very distinctive. Although the British left, the imprints left by the British colonial rule on the city did not leave with the British. Among all the imprints, except for those street names that still retain the colonial period and the urban sewage pipeline planning that few people remember now, the most impressive ones are the Western buildings in this city - Yanjing Municipal Government Building, Federal Central Bank, Customs Building, Post and Telecommunications Building, General Administration of Inland River Shipping, Federal Police Headquarters, Yanjing Railway Station, Holy Trinity Cathedral, St. Mary's Cathedral
, Church High School, St. John's Church Hospital, etc. - these buildings, after nearly a hundred years of vicissitudes, still stand firmly in this city. Under the cover of the tropical plants on the green belt of the city's streets, they are still outstanding in appearance and attract a large number of tourists every year. Among these buildings, except for the two religious buildings, the Holy Trinity Cathedral and St. Mary's Cathedral, the doors are open every day, and they accept every visitor who is curious or wants to seek some kind of spiritual comfort, other buildings that represent nobility and the privilege of the rulers in the colonial era are still no different after the British left. The nobles are still noble, and the privileges are still unique.
Truth, similarly, the poor and humble are still poor and humble. 100 years ago, the buildings that the deceased slaves in this colonized country could only look up at when they passed by. Today, they can only look up at when ordinary people pass by. The former church middle school became today's Yanjing National No. 1 Middle School. Although it is known as the state, it is difficult to find a child from an ordinary family in the spacious and bright school of this school. This middle school has several other names in the city of Yanjing - "Yanjing Officials and Rich Children's Middle School" or "Tadian Federal State Successor Designated Primary Training Base". The former church hospital has now become Yanjing Victory Medical
Although the name of the hospital has become "victory", this "victory" still does not belong to more than 98% of ordinary people in this country. The legendary hospital has caused the shortage of medical resources caused by the many senior special care units prepared for those senior leaders all year round and the treatment of a cold can make ordinary federal people spend a year's income. It can only make this "victory" a victory for a few people. Hospitals and schools are like this. The complex nepotism and factional relationships that are full of more intimate and more popular government agencies have only allowed a few ordinary federal people who are lucky enough to enter to touch it carefully on the edge, and then leave countless rumors in the market.
In addition to these unique Western buildings, Yanjing is the most famous Buddhist culture here. Standing at a high place and looking at the city, those Buddhist steep pagodas decorated with gold powder and gems are painted golden, one by one, and one by one, emerges from the trees, solemn and magnificent.
On the other end of the pagoda, more corners of this city are tall buildings that symbolize the achievements of market opening and economic reform in recent years. Next to those tall buildings are large areas of low houses under the tall buildings, crowded streets, and dirty and chaotic poor communities. The East and the West intersect here, and the light and shadow of wealth and poverty are biting here. The buildings of this city always tell something silently.
Human wisdom and power create beauty and miracles. Human greed and majesty have defiled beauty and miracles with a rotten smell. Long Liexu sat in the car, looking at the slowly passing street scene outside the car, thinking faintly.
The car Long Liexue was riding on an ordinary street in Yanjing. The car was very ordinary, so no one would take a look at it on a street like Yanjing. Tadian Federation has no automobile industry, so all cars in this country are imported from abroad. Just like the one Long Liexue is now riding, 70% new light blue Fiat car, made by Fiat's factory in India, and also imported from Tadian Federation from India, at a price of about 60,000 to 70,000 yuan. There is no beautiful and eye-catching shape. The whole car is rustic and looks a bit cute that girls like. He is an amateur for the car, especially for such a niche car. Long Liexue can't tell the model of this car.
The driver was Ji Sushanda. This Fiat car was also Ji Sushanda. According to the average national income of Tadian Federation, those who can drive this kind of car are already the symbol of high-level white-collar workers. This car is indeed the first luxury item Ji Sushanda bought with his own salary. Today, Ji Sushanda's task is to be a tour guide and driver of Long Liexue, and she took Long Liexue to appreciate the capital of Tadian Federation - the unique Yanjing City.
At first, when Ji Sushanda heard the officials of the governor's residence politely relay this request to her, Ji Sushanda blushed. In her opinion, she seemed to have more other meanings to be the temporary professional team of "full-time tour guide and driver" who was traveling in Yanjing. Well, this meaning is completely different from the normal tour guide, but it is also the part-time guide of some legendary beautiful girls who ran out of college who came and went to the big men who traveled to Manshalin District.
You have the same meaning. Ji Sushanda agreed without thinking about it. She agreed with a resolute and relieved attitude. She treated this matter as a kind of "interest" of a big man like Lin Yan. Then, she went back to lie home, carefully prepared to dress up, and then, as required, drove her Fiat car in a low-key manner, and picked up Long Liexue in a place not far from Manshalin, and then started the day's itinerary.
Women are a strange animal, especially beautiful women. Just like Ji Sushanda who was driving in this way, Ji Sushanda, who had carefully dressed up, could no longer see the haggardness of yesterday. She wore a goose yellow printed suspender vest on her upper body and a light blue tight skirt underneath, which outlined her proud figure with clear lines. Even a small scar left on her neck yesterday was covered by her beautiful scarf without any trace.
While driving, the woman glanced at the man sitting in the passenger seat beside her from the corner of her eyes from time to time. Seeing the man sitting in the car wearing sunglasses always looking out of the window, looking at the street scene outside, and responding faintly while explaining the allusions of the streets and buildings outside, and really treating herself as a driver and tour guide, Ji Sushanda felt an angry feeling inexplicably surging.
This man's performance today is actually very commendable. From beginning to end, this man always maintained the demeanor and respect he deserved, without any frivolousness. Even when he was having lunch, this man paid the bill very gentlemanly. He did not ask Ji Sushanda to pay because of his status difference. Ji Sushanda didn't know, and he couldn't even feel where his anger came from. At this moment, Ji Sushanda thought of some things that he had originally felt annoying in that foreign company. The annoying eyes of the male colleagues in the company always seemed respectful when they were in front of him, and then he would always stare at him hotly after turning around, especially when he was wearing a professional dress. I remember that once I passed by the office hall of the company, because a document in his hand fell on the ground, and when I squatted down to pick it up,
The noisy office actually quieted at that moment. The smelly men all forgot their work, wishing to throw their eyes on their chests and thighs. The foreign president was even more disgusting. If it weren't for the recording and threatening to report the scandal of harassing him to the headquarters of the United States, the old man in his 50s was always fantasizing about making him his Asian lover and giving him two mixed-race sons. However, at this moment, all the annoying men added together were not even more disgusting than the man sitting next to him. Thinking of this, Ji Sushanda turned her face slightly and glared at the man who was not at all conscious. She felt inexplicably angry. At this moment, she pierced the awe of this man's identity like a thorn, turning into a very ironic word, blurting out.
"Doesn't it feel uncomfortable to ride such a cheap civilian car for the first time?"
"It's okay!" Long Liexu responded lightly, putting one hand on the window of the car, without turning his head, and did not notice the psychological changes caused by the beautiful female animal that cannot be ignored by the male.
The calm response of the two words was like pouring a bowl of oil on the fire, burning the angry needle in Ji Sushanda's heart red, making it even more intense.
"In fact, the beautiful and young girls in Yanjing are all in college. If you want to find a driver and tour guide, there will be many people more suitable than me. Yanjing University, the Federal Foreign Languages College and the Federal Dance and Performance School have many beautiful girls. Many of those beautiful girls are all day long and they are all focused on running to Manshalin. They are bold and will directly sneak into the hotel and knock on the door of the guest's room to promote themselves as part-time escorts. If they are experienced, there will be special intermediaries to introduce them to powerful people. If they are smart and shy, they will be a little indirect.
They would go to the beach outside the hotel, wear beautiful swimsuits and play at the beach, showing their youthful and beautiful bodies to the fullest, hoping to have an encounter that surprises them. On the beach outside the Feilencui Hotel, such girls are easy to identify. They generally have no male companions around them. These girls are pure and smart. They understand their advantages very well..." Ji Sushanda slowed down the car and turned her head to look at Long Liexue, "I think there should never be a shortage of beautiful girls in the circle around you!"
This time, Long Liexue, who had always been slow in mind, also felt the irony and sarcastic in the gentle words of the woman driving beside him. He took his eyes off the outside and looked at the woman, scratching his head innocently, "The circle around me..." The special word circle made Long Liexu think of many people, "Actually... I lack beautiful girls..."
After hearing Long Liexue say this, Ji Sushanda first widened her eyes, as if she saw an alien, and then there was obvious disdain and disbelief in her eyes, and Long Liexue smiled faintly.
"One of my brothers was dumped by a woman three years ago, and another brother was very slaughtered by his girlfriend. When he met a beautiful woman, he could only see her. He was only thief-hearted but not brave. Another one had never even been in a relationship... Some of the people around me were already married. The bride was skillful and beautiful, and it was not beautiful, but the two lived a happy life. Some of them..." Long Liexu's thoughts jumped from Fan Chenzhou and Dongfang Yi, "It seems that they had never considered women or something in their brains..."
"I don't believe it..." Ji Sushanda shook her head stubbornly.
Long Liexue smiled without much explanation, and then looked at the rearview mirror in the car without a trace. In the rearview mirror in the car, behind the Fiat, there was a distance between not far and not near. From morning to now, a black Honda car always followed the car occasionally. Long Liexue's sharp eyes could even see that one of the two people sitting in front of the Honda car was staring at the car driven by Ji Sushanda with his cell phone, and he was talking on the phone from time to time, as if reporting something.
This woman seemed to have no idea that she was being followed. Well, this seems to save herself a lot of trouble...
"I've had almost finished having fun today. I have a drink party to attend in the evening. Although there was a lot of food at the party, I guess I basically didn't have time to eat when I got there. I heard that your family also opened a seafood restaurant in Yanjing. Let's go there for dinner..."
When Ji Sushanda heard Long Liexue pointing out that he was going to have a meal at the restaurant he opened, he hesitated for a moment, "Since something happened at home, the restaurant, as the property inside the family, often comes to harass him. Now the business there is very deserted. We go there for dinner, I'm afraid..."
"I will leave Yanjing early tomorrow morning, and I will go to the cocktail party in a few hours. After deducting this time, I will probably take a few minutes in the middle to solve your request for me, just treat it as your reward for being a tour guide and a driver today!"
Ji Sushanda opened her mouth in shock. The incident caused her family to be destroyed. For this reason, she ran around Yanjing for several months. Because the matter was too complicated, many officials from the federal power departments involved. In such a large country, no one dared to help her fight. This man actually used the tone of buying a coconut on the street and said that he would take a few minutes to help her handle the matter as a reward for her labor today. At this moment, Ji Sushanda felt that his brain seemed to crash.
...
The restaurant opened by Ji Sushanda's family is right next to the Gumu River. It is the prosperous commercial area of Yanjing, opposite the river to the Federal Inland Shipping Administration. The restaurant was formerly the trade representative office where a British company was left here. It is a Western-style building covering an area of more than 400 square meters. In addition, a huge open courtyard around the building used as a parking lot. It is located very well. Later, it was bought by Ji Sushanda's father and transformed into a high-end seafood restaurant. In the past, the business of this restaurant has always been very popular, but now...
When Long Liexue got out of Ji Sushanda's car, it was in the evening. A huge parking courtyard attached to the restaurant was empty. Except for Ji Sushanda's car, no other vehicles were found, and no one came to greet him. Long Liexue looked around and saw the black Honda who had been following Ji Sushanda's car. After turning into the restaurant's door, he parked far under a sycamore tree on the street a hundred meters away. The man in the car took out his cell phone again, not knowing what he was saying, not far away, a few obviously wearing it.
The young man in the costume of the restaurant service staff was under the command of a slightly fat man in his 50s. He was taking a ladder and was listlessly changing the window glass of the window where two holes were smashed out of the river on the restaurant. Ji Sushanda's car drove in and honked the horn. The people there turned their heads and looked here, as if they realized that a customer was coming to have dinner. The old man there saw this, threw down the things in his hand and hurried over. When the old man ran over, Ji Sushanda had just gotten out of the car and locked the car door.
"Miss, why are you here..." The old man in his 50s shouted in a hurry as soon as he ran over, "Those bastards have been looking for you everywhere these days. Didn't I ask you to hide from the eldest master for a while and let the eldest master think of a solution? Why are you coming out? Oh..." The old man was so anxious that he stamped his feet.
Ji Sushanda Qiang smiled, "Uncle Fu, I'll bring a friend to have dinner, you can prepare..."
The old man seemed to have not heard what Ji Sushanda was saying at all. He looked around nervously, "Hurry up, while someone has not been discovered yet, hurry up and leave. It will be too late. Those bastards are covered with one hand. They are afraid that you will make their scandals bigger again and always want you to shut up. If they ask them to find another excuse to capture you, it will be really over..."
"Uncle Fu..." Ji Sushanda's voice suddenly increased a lot, interrupting the old man named Uncle Fu. Uncle Fu looked at her in confusion. Ji Sushanda's face was also very serious. Seeing that Uncle Fu did not speak, he slowed down his tone again, "I'll bring a friend here to have dinner today. You can prepare it, okay?"
Uncle Fu looked at her and finally put his eyes on Long Liexue's face who had been standing next to her. He seemed to find that there was one more person here. Then, with a sophisticated look, carefully, up and down, carefully looked Long Liexue from head to toe - a white shirt, silver-gray pants, and black leather shoes, just clean and straight, without wrinkles, but it was not expensive. The face of taking off the sunglasses was bright and soft, which was unique to Chinese youth.
She is handsome, with a calm and clear eyes, her eyebrows are not thick and heroic enough, and she seems to be a little weak. This young man didn't see anything strange about it. Her whole aura is quiet, she lacks the sharpness of a young man and her strength in the world. Well, she is a Chinese, this is good. It seems that the tutor is not bad. She seems to be a little younger than the lady, but her height and appearance are worthy of the lady. Well, a junior, holding a gold brick...
Seeing the end, Uncle Fu's frown finally relieved a little, and then agreed with a little bit of worry.
Watching Uncle Fu walk away, Ji Sushanda apologized to Long Liexue, "Uncle Fu is an old man in the family. He is very good. He has watched me grow up since he was a child. This restaurant has been managed by Uncle Fu. In the past, the business here was very good. After something happened at home, it was not peaceful. Uncle Fu's temper has become bad, don't mind..."
Long Liexu shook his head and walked towards the restaurant, "I'm a little strange. I know that your uncle is the vice president of the Federal Chinese Chamber of Commerce. The Chinese communities in the Tadian Federation have always been united and help each other from beginning to end. They have a great influence in the entire Federation. In the past, there has been no collusion between corrupt officials, officials and businessmen in illegally occupying Chinese merchants' property, but every time, it is properly resolved under the strong counterattack of several major Chinese communities in the federal and the entire Chinese community. Among the countries in Southeast Asia, the Chinese communities in the Tadian Federation are the most united. With the energy of the Ou family in the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, have you not considered using the power of the federal Chinese communities when something happened to your family?"
Ji Sushanda looked at Long Liexue with a bitter smile and said only one sentence, "Our family is only Chinese!"
After thinking about it, Long Liexu suddenly figured out the joints. After the accident of Ji Sushanda's family, although there was an uncle who was the vice president of the Federal Chinese Chamber of Commerce, he could not get help from the federal Chinese community. The most fundamental reason is that a "tradition" in a deeply rooted Chinese community. In overseas Chinese groups, especially the upper class and families that maintain good family education, there is an unwritten rule on intermarriage between Chinese and foreigners. When Chinese men marry foreign women, they are generally accepted and blessed by the Chinese community. Born in such a family, they have a
Children of semi-Chinese descent will be civilized and called mixed-race children. The Chinese group will regard such mixed-race children as Chinese and give them a lot of care. When Chinese women marry foreign men, they will generally be despised by the entire Chinese group. The children they give birth to generally have only one despise - "mixed" - Chinese women who have married foreign men, especially women who are non-East Asian yellow race. Even after divorce, it will be difficult to marry men in the foreign Chinese circle. No Chinese man will marry such a woman, and everyone treats such women as if they are ill.
When Ji Sushanda's mother was married to Ji Sushanda's father, it might have been out of unswerving love, but unfortunately, their union was destined not to be accepted by the entire Chinese ethnic group of the Tadian Federation. Even the Ou family felt that it was a shame for their women to do such a thing, and they were disobedient and embarrassing. They swept Ji Sushanda's mother out and cut off their relationship. How could such a family get when they encounter disasters?
As for the help of the federal Chinese community, even though Ji Sushanda's uncle was of great importance in the Chinese community and was still caring about this difficult-to-settle sibling relationship, he could not use the resources of the Chinese community to help an excluded non-Chinese family. In the end, at most, he just wanted to treat a dead horse as a living horse and secretly leaked the news of his arrival in Yanjing to Ji Sushanda, so that Ji Sushanda would go all out to get a chance to take action.
Long Liexu unintentionally evaluated whether the tradition adhered to by the Chinese people was good or bad in the face of the disaster of Ji Sushanda's family. From a larger perspective, for the continuation of a race's DNA, in history, men of strong races have always taken away more mating opportunities for men of weak races. The semen of American soldiers always arrives in advance in countries and regions that are eager to be redeemed and protected by the United States than American democracy and freedom. What the Chinese people insist on is a stubborn and ignorant tradition, but rather the pride and pride that all Chinese people can never erase!
"When my grandfather passed away, the elders of the Ou family did not allow my mother to go to the mourning hall to pay tribute. Although I did not regret being together with my father, my mother has always had a knot in her heart over the years. In order to regain the recognition of the federal Chinese society and the Ou family, my sister and I have been very strict in tutoring since childhood. My mother told us since childhood that when we grow up, we can only marry Chinese youth..." The two walked towards the restaurant, and Ji Sushanda said calmly, "I didn't care much about my bloodline before. Whether it was considered Chinese or Ta tribe, I didn't deliberately fight for or choose anything. When I was young, I saw my mother's so sad, listened to too much teaching, and even had a very rebellious heart.
I made up my mind secretly. When I grew up, I would never marry a Chinese. It was not until after I experienced these things at home that I gradually understood my mother's painstaking efforts and vision. The main ethnic group of this country is the Ta tribe, but as a member of the Ta tribe, in this country, there will be a sense of despair that cannot resist as fish and a sense of powerlessness that is helpless like duckweed. A rotten system will always show the nature of bullying the weak and fearing the strong, even the hooligans are not as good as hooligans. At least the bloodiness of the hooligans will not allow him to exchange for the praise and love of the opponents and enemies touching their heads..." Ji Sushanda smiled indifferently, "You probably won't understand my mood!"
As the most powerful figure in the Tadian Federation and the young leader of Fei Lengcui who did not take the frivolous things of the federal government in the eyes, Long Liexue really couldn't understand Ji Sushanda's mood. Long Liexue only looked at Ji Sushanda deeply. At this moment, Long Liexue felt that these nagging words suddenly made the image of this woman much softer and vivid.
...
Twenty minutes after the two of them entered the restaurant, outside the restaurant, several cars drove in from the street in a fierce manner. With the harsh sound of brakes and a thumping sound of doors closing, more than a dozen men with fat faces surrounded a man in their forties with a big belly and a man in their forties got out of the car. Then these people rushed to the restaurant. Behind the cars, four police cars slowly drove over from the street. There was no one getting out of the police car, but parked in the restaurant courtyard on the street.
At the door, there was no harsh alarm. The red and blue police lights on the police car were turning slowly, as if warning those curious passers-by to something happen here. The waiter standing at the door of the restaurant saw these people changing his face, and suddenly opened the door and ran into the restaurant. The man in his forties who was surrounded by a group of people grinned. Under his thick black and yellow lips, the man's gold teeth shone brightly, making people feel inexplicably palpitations...
