Return to Hong Kong Island for a Century

Chapter 100 School (Second update, please subscribe and vote)
"Well!" Old Liu thought Li Song had changed, after all, he dressed like a respectable person, but he didn't expect him to still be such a scoundrel.

"Master!" Li Song found his master, who was teaching students on the playground.

"Li Song, you rascal..." Master Gao's real name was Gao Haiyang, and he was in his forties. He was also very surprised to see Li Song.

"Master, take this and smoke it." Li Song took out a pack of good cigarettes.

"You silly boy..." Gao Haiyang looked at the cigarette in his hand.

“Master, I was also deceived by that bastard surnamed Wu. Don’t let me see him again…” The Wu that Li Song was referring to was his senior brother who had deceived him.

Then he briefly explained that he was tricked by his senior brother into going to the south, where he rescued a big boss. Now he drives for the big boss, acts as his bodyguard, and also helps the big boss look after his factory in Guangdong Province.

"Knife-wielder!" Gao Haiyang certainly understood what a knife-wielder meant; it was a bodyguard, the kind who risked their lives for others.

"Okay, first give them a settling-in allowance, then a monthly salary of one thousand, but they have to be reliable, not the kind who betrays us," Li Song said.

Gao Haiyang thought of two people because two people had recently come to him for help. These two had just been discharged from the army and were poor, with old people and young children, and the old people were also sick.

These two people knew each other well, and bodyguards needed to be people with families.

"Hmm, they must be of good character and skilled in martial arts. How many people do you need?" Gao Haiyang, being in the martial arts circle, naturally knew that most people who knew martial arts were never idle.

"Don't have too many for now, three or five will be enough. They need to be good at hand-to-hand combat, both with cold weapons and with firearms," ​​Li Song said.

We don't really need to mention firearms, because in previous years everyone was a soldier, and now some families have rifles, not to mention muskets and the like. But knowing how to use them and being an expert are two different things.

"Master, please keep an eye out for me later. We'll talk about it when we get home for dinner tonight," Li Song said again.

"Okay, go thank the principal first, you might need it in the future. I'll try to get you your diploma," Gao Haiyang said.

"Okay!" Li Song didn't want to delay his master any longer. He went to the principal's office, said a few polite words, and took two packs of good cigarettes.

"How about we go see Sister Lin?" After leaving the school gate, Li Song checked the time; it wasn't even three o'clock yet.

I'll pick up my master at five o'clock and buy some things along the way.

Li Song also wanted to see the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, wondering if it was in ruins now, because the original owner's memories were different from what he saw online later. He also wanted to see the ancient city wall, to see the relics left by the Tang Dynasty, and to personally walk the places that famous historical figures had walked, the scenery seen by Li Shimin, Wu Zetian, Li Longji, Yang Guifei, and Li Bai.

In his past life, Li Song had been imagining what it would be like for those historical figures to stand where they once stood.

However, there wasn't enough time today, so I decided to take a stroll around Xi'an Film Studio instead.

Li Song was quite familiar with Chang'an. On the one hand, his family was poor when he was studying, so he could only wander around when he had nothing to do.

On the other hand, Chang'an is not as large as it will be in later years. Li Song remembers that his hometown area will be filled with factories in the future, forming a huge modern intelligent manufacturing park.

"Go back to Grandpa's house and get some money to repair his house, repair a lot of it." Grandpa Li Song lives in the mountains to the south. Right now, it's nothing special, but in a few years, people will be scrambling to rent the dilapidated houses there. There are no restrictions now, but even if someone becomes rich later, they won't be able to repair the houses there.

Li Song came by this morning. I remember Li Song, this tall and big young man, brought me a good cigarette.

So when they came to find Zhu Ling again, the gatekeeper just went and called her.

Zhu Ling wasn't a member of Xi'an Film Studio, so she could only stay in a guesthouse, and ordinary actors stayed in eight-person rooms.

Only the director and screenwriter can stay in a single room, while famous actors stay in double rooms, and there are time restrictions; they must leave when the crew disbands.

Zhu Ling was part of the film crew, and the director hadn't said she could leave, nor had he said she couldn't. She had just finished lunch and was debating whether to buy some things, since she wasn't staying there permanently and might be heading back to Kyoto tomorrow.

After hesitating for a while, Zhu Ling wanted to find a copy of Journey to the West to see if the contents were as Li Song had described. Thinking of the mind-blowing views in Journey to the West that Li Song had mentioned, Zhu Ling couldn't help but laugh.

Just then, the gatekeeper said someone was looking for them.

"Ah Song, what brings you here?" Zhu Ling asked in surprise when she saw Li Song at the door.

"I had nothing to do, so I came to see Sister Lin. How's the film crew doing?" Li Song asked, then walked to the other side.

Zhu Ling followed along, because there were many people and distractions at the entrance.

"I don't know. The director didn't say we could leave, nor did he say we couldn't. I'm really conflicted. The main problem is that we're staying in an eight-person room. I want to buy some things, but I'm afraid I won't be able to stay for more than a few days," Zhu Ling said.

“Indeed, should we stay at a guesthouse?” Li Song asked.

"That's about right. My level isn't high enough for a single room, so I might as well stay here."

"Besides, it doesn't feel as safe outside as it is inside," Zhu Ling said, shaking her head.

Li Song also knew that buying things now wasn't a matter of money, but a matter of tickets. Even if you had the money, you couldn't buy anything because everyone's tickets were limited.

"I'll find someone to think of a solution." Li Song waved to the distance, and while driving, he noticed a 212 following him from a distance.

“Mr. Li… Ah Song, let’s not go.” Zhu Ling wanted to say that their relationship hadn’t reached that point, but she couldn’t bring herself to say it. After all, Li Song was almost ten years younger than her, and what if she was overthinking things?

"Brother Zhou, could you please help me find a guesthouse? Sister Lin doesn't feel comfortable staying there." After the car arrived, Li Song went over, and Section Chief Zhou got out of the car.

"No problem." Section Chief Zhou had also received the news; the test results were in, and Li Song's request could definitely be met.

"So where would you like to stay?" Section Chief Zhou continued to ask.

"Let's stay at the Provincial First Hospital." Xiying is not far from the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, and the road is called Xiying Road. The Provincial First Hospital Guesthouse is located at the intersection of Youyi Road and Yanta Road, just turn right after you leave the hotel.

“Of course, Brother Zhou can also recommend one,” Li Song replied.

Section Chief Zhou said, "Let me ask first."

Then Section Chief Zhou went back to the car and asked, then got out and asked, "No problem."

"Thank you, Brother Zhou!"

"Ah Song, you're too kind. It's what I should do."

Zhu Ling was still a bit far away when Li Song saw the car arrive and took a few steps forward.

"Sister Lin, everything's arranged. We'll be staying at the Provincial First Hospital," Li Song said, turning around.

"This is too troublesome, and for someone of my level to go there..." Zhu Ling felt a bit of pressure.

"It's alright, everything's been arranged, and we can't go back on our word," Li Song said.
