Traveling between the 70s and the modern world

Chapter 313 Encounter with Lu Minglei

Lin Qingyan took out her mobile phone and wanted to search for the night market in Jingshi. She felt like eating barbecue.

She opened a book and searched for Jingshi Night Market. There were many recommendations for her, but the most recommended were only 5.

She looked at the distance and found that these night markets were a bit far from where she was. She looked at the time and decided to give up.

Lin Qingyan walked slowly forward and saw a dessert shop with many people inside. It was not the one she had eaten at last time. She walked in.

She ordered three popular desserts. While waiting for the desserts, she, like the young men and women in the dessert shop, was browsing on her phone. While others were browsing videos, she was checking out the popular clothing from the 80s.

It is now the summer of 79. She could take a look at the popular clothing of the early 80s to better suit society. She could take better-looking and more fashionable clothes from modern times and sell them, but many of these clothes are not suitable for the current 70s.

Fashion is a cycle, and each era has its own unique characteristics. She tries not to do things that will attract attention.

Lin Qingyan watched and thought at the same time. After the desserts were served, she put down her hands and ate with a spoon. There were three different desserts, each with its own merits. Well, she liked them all.

Lin Qingyan felt that she was still very interested in food. When Ms. Liu Huizhen came, she would coax her into doing food business in Jing City.

At this time, Lin Qingyan didn't know that a man passing by outside the store glanced at her casually and saw her squinting her eyes and enjoying her expression.

The man didn't care at first and continued walking forward, but as if he had thought of something, he turned around and looked at Lin Qingyan with cold eyes.

After being stared at for a long time, Lin Qingyan seemed to sense something and looked over. There was a moment of confusion in her eyes. The man outside looked somewhat familiar, but she didn't have any familiar gay men in modern times.

So she lowered her head and continued to eat the dessert in front of her. But not long after, she heard someone ask:

"Can I sit here?"

Lin Qingyan then looked at the man in front of her. He was wearing a white shirt, black trousers, and had only a cell phone in his hand. He was the man who had just looked at her outside and whom she felt looked familiar.

Now that she was closer, she took a closer look and realized that it was Lu Minglei, who had bought ginseng from her and helped her earn her first sum of money.

"Mr. Lu, please take a seat!"

Lin Qingyan never thought about meeting acquaintances in modern Beijing, because in modern times, apart from Zhou Limei, Grandpa Lin, Grandma Lin, and Aunt Wu who made soy sauce at home, she had almost no acquaintances.

In fact, Lu Minglei was not an acquaintance. We had only met once, exchanged WeChat messages, and talked on the phone once.

Lu Minglei sat opposite Lin Qingyan, raised his lips slightly and asked:

"Ms. Lin, what a coincidence. I didn't expect to meet you here."

"Yes, what a coincidence!" Lin Qingyan stretched out her hand and called the waiter.

"Please add a dessert."

Someone said to Lu Minglei, "Mr. Lu, what do you want to eat? I'd like to treat you to a dessert."

"Miss Lin, you don't have to spend any money. I'll treat you."

Lu Minglei looked at the three desserts in front of Lin Qingyan, pointed at one of them at random, and said to the waiter, "Give me one of these."

"Mr. Lu, you helped me a lot last time when you bought something for me. You must let me treat you once."

Lu Minglei did not refuse again. This time his smile became more sincere. He said to Lin Qingyan:

"Thank you, Miss Lin."

When the waiter heard them addressing each other as Mr. and Miss, he felt it was strange. The couple looked quite young, so why were they addressing each other like that?

Lu Minglei may have also sensed something strange, so he said to Lin Qingyan:

"We are of similar age, so we should stop calling each other Mr. or Miss. In this era, names have become distorted. Let's just call each other by our first names. My name is Lu Minglei, which means "Lu" in "land" and "Lei" in "open and aboveboard."

“Lin Qingyan!”

Although Lin Qingyan didn't understand which name had changed, she was smart enough not to ask.

Lu Minglei seemed to be a simple and direct person, so he asked directly what he wanted to ask:

"Qingyan, I will just follow Sister Zhou and call you that. I want to ask, do you have any ginseng?"

Lin Qingyan looked up at him silently, not knowing whether to say yes or no. The ginseng she transplanted into the space not only grew up, but also grew some small ginseng.

She was just worrying about who to sell it to. If someone else came to her to buy ginseng, she would definitely say yes without hesitation.

But when she looked at Lu Minglei in front of her, she felt that this man had a strong personality, and he was also a researcher specializing in plant research at a research institute.

She was a little worried that he would find out too much and would not be able to resist investigating her. Her modern identity would not withstand investigation. Anyone who wanted to investigate would find out that she appeared out of thin air.

What's more, Lin Qingyan felt that modern technology was more advanced. If she was really caught, she might not dare to appear in modern times easily.

Lu Minglei was very smart. He could see Lin Qingyan’s hesitation and dilemma from the hesitant look of the girl opposite him.

"Ms. Lin, I want ginseng or the vegetables sold in Zhou Limei's shop. I want these just for research and have no other intentions.

The store you opened in Xishui Town is very popular, but it is only popular in one circle. In this Internet age, it has not been spread outside. Do you think this is a coincidence?"

Lu Minglei looked straight at Lin Qingyan as if he saw through something.

"Mr. Lu, I don't understand what you mean." Lin Qingyan frowned. She regretted talking to him.

"Don't be nervous. I have no ill intentions. Over the past year or so, there have been several cases where someone took your things and asked someone to test them. I have read the actual test reports.

I just didn't ask them to give out the real test reports. I know that once these reports are known to others, it will be difficult for you to have a peaceful life again.

I am a researcher and I believe in science, but because of my family, I also know many things that science cannot explain.

So while I believe in science, I also believe in my intuition. My intuition is that if these test reports are known to others, then you may never appear in public again, which is not the result I want to see. "

Lu Minglei had tried to contact Lin Qingyan by phone many times, but the call never went through. He had sent someone to check on her, and also learned from the side that Zhou Limei could contact her at any time.

He thus guessed that Lin Qingyan might be in a field that he could not reach. The identities of people in some fields were kept secret and were very sensitive. He was afraid of touching some people's bottom line, so he did not dare to continue investigating.

But Lin Qingyan didn't know what he was thinking. When she heard this, her heart tightened and she almost couldn't help but flash into the space.

At this time, she thought of Zhou Limei and the others. She didn't want to bring trouble to them, so she could only endure and wait for him to finish.
