Chapter 338 Qimen Dunjia
Chapter 338 Qimen Dunjia
According to the information Xu Youyou obtained, according to Mr. He, the corresponding passwords for each safe deposit box of Junnuo Company are all in neat and even tones.
Xu Youyou thought that even if this password was not a poem or song, it was at least a couplet or something like that.
She didn't expect that Mr. Wu actually nodded when he took the note.
"You are very well prepared."
Since she couldn't get to the safe deposit box today, Xu Youyou was eager to get to the bottom of it. She asked, "Is this really the password to the safe deposit box? It's clearly a bunch of numbers and letters. You..."
Old Master Wu finished what she hadn't said: "Very trendy, isn't it?"
Xu Youyou looked strange.
Grandpa Wu said, "Our family rose to prominence during the late Ming Dynasty. We experienced the Tartar regime and then encountered a period of opening our eyes to the world. The country, which had been closed for hundreds of years, suddenly opened its doors, and countless new things poured in. If we don't keep pace with the times, how can we continue to survive?"
Xu Youyou hesitated for a long time, and finally asked: "Your family, do you think the business is still going on?"
Mr. Wu waved his hand and said, "I know what you're thinking. You think that after me, Junnuo Trading Company is gone, right?"
"Isn't that the case?" Xu Youyou wondered.
Mr. Wu said, "Our country is very safe at the moment. Junnuo Trading Company is indeed useless, but most of my family members are abroad. It's just a change of name, and it doesn't mean that our family business is over."
Xu Youyou paused after hearing this. She was wrong. Mr. Wu’s family had its own way of inheritance.
"At first glance, this password is a combination of numbers and letters, but in fact it is well-balanced. If you don't believe me, take a look," said Mr. Wu.
Xu Youyou tentatively read out the password, and the result was exactly the same as what the old man said, with the rhythm and antithesis, very neat.
"Don't worry, our Wu family has never ruined its reputation. Jun Nuo, Jun Nuo, I will keep this promise for my whole life."
Xu Youyou listened to the old man's assurance and became curious. She asked, "How many safe deposit boxes do you have now?"
Old Master Wu laughed and said, "If you had come here ten years earlier, I would have told you that there was only one safe deposit box."
Xu Youyou immediately asked: "What about now?"
Mr. Wu said, "Now, let me tell you, there really is only one safe deposit box."
Xu Youyou: ...
Although the other party said it but seemed not to say it, Xu Youyou understood that the old man must have given away safe deposit boxes in the past ten years, and hers was the last one.
"Is it in the cellar?" Xu Youyou asked.
Xu Youyou had both the key and the password, so Old Man Wu didn't hide it from her and said, "You guessed right."
"If my box is taken out, can you rent out your cellar?"
This time, Mr. Wu didn't object. Instead, he said, "It looks like the Junnuo Company back home won't have any new customers. The cellar is empty anyway, so renting it out and making some money wouldn't be a bad idea."
Xu Youyou didn't expect it to be a double blessing. She also felt strange: "Is my suitcase that big? Do I need a three-bedroom, one-living-room cellar to keep it?"
Old Master Wu laughed when he heard this and said, "Do you think you can keep other people's treasures just anywhere? I've guarded this cellar for almost eighty years and have been through so much. It's not enough to just bury things underground."
Xu Youyou asked, "If it's not buried underground, is it just casually placed in the cellar?"
Old Master Wu glanced at her with disdain and said, "You little girl, you look so pretty, but why don't you use your brain when you speak? Qimen Dunjia, the Five Elements and Eight Diagrams, do you think these are just empty words?"
Xu Youyou touched her nose awkwardly. She had also taken these courses in the training space before, but after attending the class once, she knew she was not cut out for it.
The threshold for these courses is so high that it is no different from advanced science such as quantum mechanics. People without sufficient foundation cannot learn them.
Seeing her like this, Mr. Wu lost interest in chatting and said, "Let's wait until tomorrow. Tomorrow morning, we'll go get it together."
Xu Youyou asked, "Do you know what's in that safe?"
When Mr. Wu heard this, he immediately looked insulted and said, "What did your family teach you? Don't you know that we in the Wu family never pry into our customers' privacy?"
Xu Youyou said: "I am an orphan."
When Old Man Wu heard this, he didn't look guilty like the others who heard the same thing. Instead, he said, "Since you came to me with the key and password, it's obvious that your family taught you something. This is no excuse for you to be rude to me."
Xu Youyou didn't know how to explain it for a moment. She had obtained all these things through the system, and they were not inherited from her family at all. Explaining too much would be meaningless, so she said simply, "I'm sorry."
Mr. Wu said, "Miss Li, since you are willing to apologize, I won't hold it against you. See you tomorrow."
Xu Youyou: "My last name is not Li, it's Xu."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Wu's brows knitted together. After a full half minute, he relaxed his brows. He sighed heavily and said, "How times have changed. I never thought that Mr. Li's things would end up in the hands of someone else."
The old man did not doubt Xu Youyou's background. After all, in his opinion, it was impossible for an outsider to get both the key and the password. He just thought that the things passed down by the original customer fell into the hands of the descendants of his daughter who married out.
"You don't look like someone who favors boys over girls." Xu Youyou said.
Old Master Wu chuckled and said, "If my son-in-law took my family's most precious thing but is unwilling to let his descendants follow my surname, it is enough to prove that my daughter has entrusted her to the wrong person."
After hearing this, Xu Youyou looked forward to the safe deposit box tomorrow even more. She didn't know what kind of precious thing could be worthy of being called the "most precious" thing of a big family.
After leaving the Wu family, Xu Youyou returned to her residence and just lay down on the bed when she was startled.
This safe deposit box originally belonged to a customer named Li. For nearly eighty years, this person has not come to retrieve his treasure.
Not only that, the key and password fell into the hands of different people. What kind of major change would lead to such consequences?
Xu Youyou got the password from a second-hand car, and the original owner of the second-hand car was not named Li at all!
As for the key, its story is even more tortuous and bizarre. A jade pendant represents the promise of the Heishui family, but the Heishui family only keeps an address.
After going through so much trouble, Xu Youyou felt that it was the result of mutual compromise.
