An extraordinary life journey through old Beijing courtyard houses

Jiang Baobin felt a bump on his shoulder and turned around to see Elizabeth's angry little face:

"That jerk! If I were you, I'd go with her no matter what, love comes first!"

Jiang Baobin rolled his eyes: "If that were the case, I wouldn't even survive that cripple Smith; I'd just die on the plane!"

Seeing his indecisive attitude, Elizabeth immediately flew into a rage and kicked him, yelling, "Men are all big pigs!"

Jiang Baobin casually wiggled his hips, thwarting Elizabeth's attempt.

Hmph, I'm a skilled martial artist now, no longer the ignorant fool I once was.

Having missed kicking anyone, Elizabeth didn't pursue the matter further, but instead turned her attention to the plane.

The C-47 has started its run, getting faster and farther away!

Women are emotional, especially when the "sky train" roars into the sky.

Elizabeth and Jiang Daya both shed tears.

I'm sure Rose on the plane was just as heartbroken.

Jiang Baobin frowned, gazing at the sky in a daze—this truly is a place where birds can fly freely in the sky!

One day later, she was on the other side of the world.

Rose, I wish you a happy future.

Even if Smith is disabled, don't rush into marriage.

Even when you get married, you must keep your eyes open! Foreign men are all bad news.

Sigh, whatever, I can't control it anyway.

I still hope we can reunite soon. I hope I'll still be dashing and you'll still be beautiful then.

Of course, it would be even better if our money could multiply many times over and we could all become millionaires...

Lost in thought, Jiang Baobin suddenly felt a sharp pain in his back!

Looking back, I saw Elizabeth clenching her teeth and waving her little fists.

Why are you here again?

Without a doubt, he saw himself as the culprit who sent Rose away.

Why should I have gone to such lengths to help her sell her company?

Jiang Baobin felt like he was being wronged to death—did you think I wanted this?

Rose is gone; you've just lost a drinking buddy.

I've lost a god of wealth and a powerful backer!

Do you know how much wealth I've accumulated through Rose lately?

I want to stay, but can I really keep it?

Just two days ago, on September 12th, the great battle outside the Great Wall had already begun.

After thorough rest and reorganization, the Northeast Field Army surged southward like a tide.

In the blink of an eye, they had completely surrounded Yixian (which belonged to Jinzhou).

The Beining Line, the vital railway artery upon which the Kuomintang relied for survival, was also cleanly and decisively severed!

Anyone who isn't a fool can see that once the war outside the Great Wall ends, Beiping will be in grave danger!

Do you think you can sell "Smith Company" for the same high price as before? Dream on!

Even though Elizabeth misunderstood him, Jiang Baobin didn't rush to explain.

Because back when he was doing live streaming, he had already learned the second piece of wisdom:

Never try to reason with a woman when she's angry!

Even women who seem very rational should not be chosen.

Otherwise, you'll just be asking for trouble.

So, do you remember what the first proverb was? (The answer is in the author's words)

Fortunately, Jiang Daya was there and immediately went over to comfort Elizabeth.

Before long, the two of them started chatting away.

They had met before, and now, feeling down because of Rose's departure, they found themselves getting along very well.

Elizabeth, as a journalist, is much better at Chinese than Rose, so communication is no problem.

Jiang Baobin could only act as their driver, feeling quite frustrated, because he had to try his best to shield his ears.

Upon arriving at the villa area of ​​Peking Union Medical College Hospital, Jiang Baobin handed the car keys to Elizabeth.

"What are you doing?" the latter asked, puzzled.

He then laughed: "Are you trying to teach me how to drive?"

"That's not a good idea. I've tried it many times."

"Oh God, I'm going to get into trouble."

By now, she had calmed down and returned to her usual American chic persona.

Jiang Baobin shrugged: "Rose gave you the car, so of course I'll give you the keys."

"No, no, no, you keep the key."

Jiang Baobin was a little stunned, not understanding what she meant.

At this moment, Elizabeth started laughing and patting his arm, praising him:

Rose always says you're a trustworthy person, and I actually think so too.

The two have become quite close now.

Jiang Baobin knew something was up as soon as he saw her sly expression and her praising him.

Sure enough, Elizabeth gave her a look that said, "I have high hopes for you."

"I've made up my mind, Jiang. From today onwards, you'll be my driver."

Jiang Baobin didn't want to be taken advantage of, so he reached out his hand to her.

"What are you doing?" Elizabeth asked.

"Paying you is fine, driving for you is no problem, but nobody in the world is stupid enough to provide services for free, right?"

"Slap!" Elizabeth slapped Jiang Baobin's hand.

"I have no money! I'm penniless, while you're a millionaire. How dare you be so stingy?"

"Hey! You can't be that unreasonable, can you? I earned my money with my intelligence and hard work, there's nothing to be ashamed of."

Elizabeth, hands on her hips, asked, "What's your custom for growing flowers again?"

"By the way, I have no money, but you can take my life!"

Then he laughed triumphantly, "I've got my hands on you, this free laborer!"

She was obviously joking, and in the end, she gave Jiang Baobin the title of "information officer" for the newspaper.

After a month, he could earn about the salary of an ordinary employee, which was considered his salary.

Jiang Baobin was just trying to persuade him; in fact, he would have done it even if it were free.

You can't use people to advance and not use them to retreat. Elizabeth helped him when he was arrested by Zhao Zhibang.

Moreover, driving for her would also be very beneficial.

It's embarrassing to say, but as soon as Rose left, Jiang Baobin's sense of crisis suddenly increased.

He didn't believe that Zhao Zhibang wouldn't seize the opportunity to retaliate against him!

From stopping the lecherous old man from taking advantage of Jiang Daya to ruthlessly swindling him out of his money, the two had long been irreconcilable enemies.

As the saying goes, "petty people take revenge," and Jiang Baobin had to be on guard against it from morning till night.

Therefore, it would be very beneficial to maintain a good relationship with Elizabeth.

Compared to Rose, Elizabeth has a much larger backing.

As the saying goes, in the adult world, there is no right or wrong, only interests.

I now represent a great deal of interests, and I absolutely cannot lose this struggle with Zhao Zhibang!

This isn't just about money; it's about life and death!

The blame lies with this bizarre system.

By confining oneself to the urban area of ​​Beiping, one cannot escape even if one wants to.

Having been defeated by Zhao Zhibang, he was able to hide and wait for the situation to change.

But what about Jiang Daya? Wouldn't that be like a lamb being led to the slaughter?

So, although it's not very manly, Jiang Baobin still decided to use Elizabeth's power to deter the villains.

At the same time, we need to speed up our own preparations; we can't always be on the defensive.

As long as I hold on until "the rooster crows and the world turns white," who am I afraid of?

Hehe, there will be just as many troubles then...
