I Was Stuck on the Same Day For a Thousand Years - Chapter 281
Chapter 281: Tang Xinbao and Guo Qiqi
The short-haired young man looked at Wu Chen blankly. He did not know Wu Chen, and in today’s incident, it was obvious that Wu Chen “acted bravely” to save him, but Wu Chen just mentioned his second uncle…
If he knew his second uncle, he must be someone who knew him!
“I also have some friends in Shanghai. I have heard that your 1,000-horsepower modified GTR is in Shanghai. It’s quite famous, and you just called her Qiqi…” Wu Chen said and glanced at the girl in the black skirt, “Is your name Guo Qiqi?”
When the girl in the black skirt saw Wu Chen looking at her, she nodded in confusion.
“Your name is Tang Xinbao, right?” Wu Chen looked at the short-haired young man again.
The young man with short hair also nodded blankly.
Tang Xinbao, twenty-one years old, was a direct descendant of the third generation Tang family in Shanghai.
The Tang family in Shanghai was a stronger family than the Gu family and the Xiang family. Although it was not the strongest family in Shanghai, it was still one of the best.
Due to their geographical location, the Gu family and the Xiang family in Shanghai could compete with the Li family and the Ding family in terms of power.
However, looking at the positions of the family members alone, there was still a slight difference.
The Tang family was on par with the Li family and the Ding family just by looking at the position of the older generation in the family.
In terms of connections, it was even stronger.
However, the Tang family had special characteristics, or a different “type” compared to other large families such as the Li family and the Ding family!
Four generations of the Tang family had been in the military!
The earliest generation was a soldier during the war years more than half a century ago, and it was the current generation of the Tang family that survived.
The old man of the Tang family was not originally from Shanghai.
He was originally from Gan Province. He took root in Shanghai after the victory of the war because of his long-term tenure in Shanghai.
Tang Xinbao’s grandfather was a soldier, his father was a soldier, and his brother was a soldier, but he was not… In fact, as a direct descendant of the family, he also wanted to join the army, but he was very rebellious at first and refused to go to military school.
He did not want to join the army and wanted to go into business.
Because of this incident, he had a falling out with his father, and their relationship was not very good to this day.
This was also the reason why he went to his second uncle instead of his father when he had some problems in the past few years.
Guo Qiqi, 21 years old, was the granddaughter of Guo Xingqi, chairman of Shanghai Jiuhe Group.
The Jiuhe Guo family could be said to be one of the oldest existing business families in the city. They started out in the textile business and their history of prosperity could even be traced back to a hundred years ago. They experienced war-torn years and experienced downturns, but they also had a comeback, which could be said to have gone through several ups and downs.
Unlike the Tang family, Gu family, etc., the Guo family was not a powerful family. To this day, it was still a purely business family. The entire family had tens of billions of assets, which was not considered top-notch in Shanghai.
But the Guo family had been rooted in Shanghai for many, many years.
They had gone through many ups and downs and accumulated network energy that was difficult for ordinary business families to possess.
Tang Xinbao and Guo Qiqi could be said to be “childhood sweethearts”. They met when they were very young and officially established a relationship in high school. It was a free love.
Guo Qiqi was beautiful, but not top-notch. According to Wu Chen’s scoring standards, a score of 6 was considered a beauty in the eyes of ordinary people, while Guo Qiqi’s appearance could be rated as a 7.5.
She was the kind of person who was good-looking and had a ladylike temperament.
In fact, based on Tang Xinbao’s conditions, he could get any type of top beauty he wanted, but he just liked Guo Qiqi and was quite single-minded.
Speaking of which, the fact that the two of them were able to fall in love smoothly without encountering any obstacles had a lot to do with their family backgrounds.
Although the Jiuhe Guo family was not a powerful family, its power was not much less than that of a powerful family. It had a very solid foundation in Shanghai.
Compared with the Tang family, it could be said to be a good match.
“Brother, are you…” Tang Xinbao, who was stunned, calmed down and asked Wu Chen in turn.
Wu Chen could recognize them and accurately named them, so he felt that he might also know this savior, or at least have heard of him.
“Wu Chen,” Wu Chen said with a smile.
Tang Xinbao looked at Wu Chen and blinked for a while, then turned to look at his girlfriend Guo Qiqi and gave her a questioning look.
Guo Qiqi and Tang Xinbao looked at each other with blank expressions on their faces.
Unexpectedly, neither of them had heard of Wu Chen.
This was normal. In the “Third Generations” circle in Shanghai, some people had heard of Wu Chen, which was normal. But if they haven’t, it’s also normal.
Not everyone would pay attention to who Li Ruobing’s new boyfriend was, and the time was still short – only ten days.
In addition, Tang Xinbao and Guo Qiqi were both young and in college. The circles they were currently in contact with were different from those third generations who entered society and started to participate in family affairs.
“Brother, where is your family …” Tang Xinbao looked at Wu Chen again and asked.
He didn’t know who “Wu Chen” was, but he felt that Wu Chen should have a similar background to him. Otherwise… if he wasn’t from the same circle, how could he say “call your second uncle”?
“My family owns a ramen restaurant in a small county town,” Wu Chen said.
“Brother, you really know how to joke,” Tang Xinbao said directly.
Wu Chen smiled.
Tang Xinbao also laughed.
He felt that Wu Chen was joking.
Wu Chen didn’t want to explain his thoughts to him in detail. It was his turn to know. He would know everything in a short time. It didn’t make any difference whether he said more or less now.
“Brother, how old are you this year?” Tang Xinbao asked Wu Chen again.
“Twenty-two.” Wu Chen smiled.
“Ah… I am right to call you older brother.” Tang Xinbao said. He just confirmed that the two of them looked about the same age. It was not easy to tell who was older based on their appearance alone…
“Brother, your martial arts is good. Where did you learn it?” Tang Xinbao spoke again, and seemed to be talking about a topic that he was extremely interested in.
The more he talked, the more excited he became.
He spoke in a tone that seemed like he wanted to ask for advice.
“How do you practice? Why are you so good? I have never seen someone as powerful as you before. I have been practicing since I was a child, but I can’t compare with you. How can you be so powerful…”
His nose was bruised, his face was swollen and his whole body ached, and he still wanted to ask Wu Chen this.
“Self-taught.” Wu Chen smiled.
“Is it true? Can you teach me?” Tang Xinbao was saying.
Buzz-boom-
the roar of car engines sounded outside the alley. It was very far away at first, but quickly approached, and there was more than one car. They were all driving very fast by the sound!
They stopped talking.
Wu Chen, Tang Xinbao, and Guo Qiqi turned to look out of the alley at the same time.
Wu Chen looked around for a moment, then walked out.
Soon, he arrived at the entrance of the alley and looked towards the street.
The car came from the south. The convoy of five or six cars was speeding. Within a few seconds of Wu Chen arriving at the entrance of the alley, they rushed to the street opposite the entrance of the alley, and they all braked suddenly!
The car stopped, and then all the doors opened. A total of more than a dozen people got out of the car.
One of the people who got out of a black Mercedes-Benz was holding a cane in one hand – it was Zhao Guaizi! He rushed over with people in ten minutes because he lived nearby.
Not only did he come, He Ming’s eldest brother Yu Hailiang also came with him.
When He Ming called Yu Hailiang, Yu Hailiang was beside Zhao Guaizi in a business club where Zhao Guaizi always lived.
“Mr. Wu, there’s a misunderstanding!” After Zhao Guaizi got off the car, he saw Wu Chen standing at the entrance of the alley. He shouted urgently.
While shouting, he limped towards Wu Chen as quickly as possible.
“Mr. Wu, it’s really a misunderstanding. Do you still remember me? I met Mr. Wu at Mr. Li’s place that time… Mr. Wu!”
Zhao Guaizi lost his old boss demeanor and shouted as he walked.
He seemed eager to explain.
At the same time, Wu Chen’s Lamborghini was still parked on the side of the road. Zhuang Xiaodie was sitting in the passenger seat of the car, looking out the window with an uneasy expression.
Ding-ding-ding…
The phone rang.
Zhuang Xiaodie held the cell phone in her hand. As soon as it rang, she looked at it immediately, and then connected at once.
“Hey, sister,” Zhuang Xiaodie said quickly, looking out the window.
“Is it done?” Li Ruobing asked.
“No, it doesn’t seem like it is. Another large group of people came,” Zhuang Xiaodie said nervously.
“It’s not over yet? Is there someone else?” Li Ruobing’s voice rose.
