Siheyuan: I am a trader in both worlds!

Chapter 471 The wires are finally going to be replaced!

Since Ximen Lang hadn't said anything to dampen her pride, Bai Ling certainly wouldn't spoil his mood at this crucial moment.

Besides, Ximen Lang's performance just now was really cool!
Bai Ling was so captivated by his handsomeness that she couldn't take her eyes off him!
Therefore, upon seeing Ximen Lang, he immediately said this.

Surprisingly, Bai Ling did not say anything to criticize Ximen Lang.

Instead, she cupped Ximen Lang's cheeks and spoke the truth.

"So handsome, it's mind-blowing."

Seeing such an intimate scene, Ximen Lang instinctively wanted to lean in and kiss her, to really enjoy himself.

Unfortunately, because Bai Ling had anticipated this move, Ximen Lang leaned forward for a long time but still couldn't kiss her.

Unfortunately, Ximen Lang had to abandon the idea.

He then continued to boast.

"Although I know you added the word 'silly' to avoid making me too arrogant, I still want you to speak your mind. Come on, tell me directly, wasn't I so handsome that you were dazzled and almost prostrated yourself just now?"

His shameless and inexplicable self-confidence made Bai Ling not want to pay him any attention.

In fact, Bai Ling did not pay any attention to him.

I knew that if I continued to argue with him about this, he might say some narcissistic things in a little while.

Bai Ling simply rolled her eyes at Ximen Lang with utter disdain, and then abruptly ended the conversation.

When asked what they should do now, they replied...

"Almost everyone in the compound who could go has gone. What should we do now? Should we go along and join in the fun, or go home, wash up, and go to sleep?"

Of course, Ximen Lang's opinion was more inclined to go home, wash up, and go to sleep.

However, he also knew that Bai Ling's "wash up and go to sleep" was definitely not the same as what he thought "wash up and go to sleep".

Bai Ling would never allow him to act so recklessly in broad daylight.

So, after much deliberation, Ximen Lang ultimately didn't reveal his true meaning.

It was taken for granted.

"Since things have come to this, of course we should follow along and watch this spectacle from beginning to end!"

Bai Ling also intended for Ximen Lang to take a good look around Beijing, to let him see firsthand the many changes he had brought to the city, and to further strengthen his confidence.

Therefore, they hit it off immediately.

One sentence.
"Let's go then."

Then, Bai Ling and Ximen Lang actually walked straight over there.

This put Hao Pingchuan and Gao Cheng, who were secretly protecting Ximen Lang and Bai Ling, in a difficult position.

Why?

The reason, of course, is that the two of them walked there!
You know, the whole city of Beijing is in an uproar because of this policy of free vaccination for all citizens!
The mere presence of these two, practically giant pandas, in Beijing at this critical juncture already put immense pressure on their security. Now, they're even foregoing transportation, choosing to walk alongside the massive crowds!
And they flock to wherever there are crowds!
That's utter nonsense!
Although with the completion of the reorganization of the guard battalion, they can now indeed be described as a strong and well-equipped force.

Even if you mobilized all of them for such a large-scale event, they still wouldn't be able to make a ripple!

In fact, when they actually got to crowded places, they couldn't even squeeze in!
There's no way to squeeze in, so what kind of protection is this!
It was truly unexpected that Ximen Lang and Bai Ling would add such a great deal of difficulty to their work.

Hao Pingchuan glanced at Gao Cheng, who insisted on following along, and asked with a hint of testing.

"You've always told me you're a top student, making it seem like you're so knowledgeable, right? Well, top student, show me the way, let this roughneck learn from you and see what insights you have to offer."

And then, believe it or not, Hao Pingchuan's question actually stumped the top student Gao Cheng.

Especially fearing that Gao Cheng might come up with the same idea as him, he preemptively brought up his own thoughts.

"Let's get this straight first. My opinion, as a roughneck, is twofold: First, go home and call for backup. Whatever you say, get the numbers up first, so we don't run out of manpower later. Second, the two of us will move from hiding to being in the open. Whether it's an invitation or a chance encounter, get close to them first and provide close protection! Otherwise, when there are too many people, we won't be able to squeeze in!"

This left Gao Cheng completely helpless.

Seeing this, some people will surely say...

"Aren't they top students from later generations? They should be studying science and technology! They're really good at science and technology, so hurry up and save them! That thing is so useful!"

Gao Cheng certainly knew that technology and ruthlessness were very useful, but the question was where to use them!

If this were in later generations, needless to say, they would certainly be given everything they could, whether useful or not.

But the problem is, this is the world of Beijing!

There was nothing there; compared to later generations, it was almost like the primitive society of Beijing!
There isn't even a satellite signal here, so what can Gaocheng do?
Aside from calling for reinforcements like Hao Pingchuan did, and then moving to the front of the stage to provide close protection, what other options did he have?
There's absolutely no way to solve this!

And so, without any surprises.

Faced with Hao Pingchuan's persistent questioning, Gao Cheng simply fell silent.

Gao Cheng fell silent, but Hao Pingchuan started trembling.

Hao Pingchuan immediately launched into a sarcastic remark after the attack was delivered face-to-face.

"I was wondering what insights a top student like you could offer, but this is all I got! It's not much better than what I, a roughneck, could offer. What a disappointment!"

Gao Cheng, who was being ridiculed by Hao Pingchuan, was about to present the facts and reason with Hao Pingchuan to explain his predicament of being unable to cook without rice. He also stated that he had never taken advantage of his high level of education, but that Hao Pingchuan was simply unable to accept defeat, which was why Hao Pingchuan was making things difficult for him and finding fault with him at every turn.

Before Gao Cheng could even speak, Hao Pingchuan, who had never experienced such a humiliating defeat and was genuinely struggling to accept it, simply dropped a sentence.

"Alright, alright, hurry up, or we won't be able to squeeze in even if we wanted to. Also, remember, it was just a lucky coincidence that we made it."

After saying that, he quickly rushed over to Ximen Lang and Bai Ling before they joined the crowd.

While Hao Pingchuan and Gao Cheng were hurriedly chasing after them, Ximen Lang, who had been strolling around the streets, also noticed something amiss.

Of course, it wasn't about finding any suspicious individuals.

But
"Holy crap, this is like replacing a utility pole and then replacing the wiring? Holy crap! The power goes out at least eight times a day, and this broken wiring keeps going crazy and shutting down. You've finally decided to replace it?!"
