Chapter 421 Preparing for the Return
The people at the telecommunications bureau are very punctual.
After returning to the apartment with his two pet dogs, Li Qin first did a simple cleaning.
Then he waited in the apartment.
It was almost nine o'clock when Li Qin suddenly heard the sound of the elevator.
Then the telecommunications company's installation workers came to the door.
Li Qin lives in Central, in the most bustling area, in a high-end apartment building.
Therefore, the infrastructure is quite complete.
Therefore, installing a telephone or something similar is not very troublesome.
However, installing a telephone at this time was naturally not comparable to that of later generations, where it could be done in just over ten minutes.
It took more than an hour to install the phone.
That's still considered quite fast.
The people from the telecommunications bureau left after the telephone installation was completed, and Li Qin didn't try to stop them.
However, when these people left, Li Qin still gave them some money as a tip.
After all, Li Qin had been watching these people install it, and they were indeed very attentive.
After seeing the people off, Li Qin sat back down by the French windows, reading a book and petting his dog.
"Ring ring!"
Suddenly, a bell rang in the apartment.
It's a newly installed telephone.
Li Qin looked towards the phone with great confusion;
"I just installed this phone not long ago, so logically no one should know about it. How come someone is calling me?"
Despite his doubts, Li Qin put down his dog and book and went to the phone.
"Hello, who are you looking for?"
I asked directly over the phone beforehand.
The next second, a familiar voice came from the phone:
"Hello Mr. Li, this is Hong Guang."
Upon hearing that it was Hong Guang, a look of sudden realization flashed across Li Qin's face.
At this moment, Hong Guang's voice came through the phone again:
"Mr. Li, I received a call from a friend at the telecommunications company saying that the apartment's telephone has been installed. I quickly tested it to see if there were any problems."
Also, I'll give you the apartment's phone number.
Li Qin was puzzled. His apartment had just been equipped with a telephone, and he didn't even know the phone number. How could someone contact him?
Now I understand.
Hong Guang helped with all the phone installation for Shenqian; he got it done through connections.
Therefore, Hong Guang was able to know immediately after the phone was installed, and he also knew his own phone number.
After thinking it through, a faint smile appeared on Li Qin's face:
"Thank you for your concern, Mr. Hong Guang. It seems there's nothing wrong with the phone call now."
"Hahaha!"
Hong Guang on the other end of the phone immediately laughed.
Hong Guang then gave Li Qin the phone number of Li Qin's apartment, and also gave Li Qin his own phone number.
"Mr. Li, if you need anything in the future, you can contact me by phone anytime."
Hong Guang was genuinely happy that a telephone was installed in Li Qin's apartment.
This made it much easier for either him to contact Li Qin or for Li Qin to contact him.
Unlike before, we no longer have to meet in person to discuss everything.
Li Qin understood Hong Guang's thoughts, so he smiled and agreed.
The two then briefly discussed the shop and agreed to contact Li Qin as soon as the contract signing date was set.
Then the two hung up the phone.
A glint suddenly flashed in Li Qin's eyes after he hung up the phone.
He picked up the phone again and dialed a number.
After a brief silence, the call was answered on the other end.
"Hello, who are you looking for?"
Li Qin asked Hong Guang those questions, but unexpectedly, he was asked the same question by the person on the other end of the phone. It seems like a kind of cycle.
However, Li Qin still smiled and said:
"Manager Huang, this is Li Qiu."
Yes, Li Qin was calling Manager Huang of Ta Kung Pao.
Yesterday, after signing the contract and preparing to leave, Manager Huang gave Li Qin a business card with Manager Huang's phone number on it.
Now that the apartment has a telephone installed, Li Qin felt it was necessary to inform Manager Huang.
This way, if the other party needs to contact you, you'll have a way to reach them.
Manager Huang on the other end of the phone was initially casual, but his expression immediately turned serious after hearing that the caller was Li Qin.
Then, he immediately asked in a cautious tone:
"Oh, it's you, Mr. Li. May I ask what brings you here?"
Sensing the respect in the other person's tone, Li Qin remained calm and said:
"It's nothing much, I just got a phone installed at home and thought you might not know yet, so I called to let you know."
If you ever need anything from me in the future, just give me a call.
Manager Huang had initially thought Li Qin's call was about something important, but it turned out not to be. He immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Li Qin could also tell that Manager Huang was somewhat uncomfortable when he was in front of him;
Even if we only contact each other by phone now, it's the same.
So Li Qin didn't waste any more words and directly gave the other party his phone number.
After confirming that Manager Huang had written down his phone number, Li Qin hastily ended the call.
After settling things off with Ta Kung Pao, Li Qin naturally couldn't ignore Wen Wei Po.
He then contacted Wen Wei Po by phone, again providing them with his phone number.
After doing all this, Li Qin finally put down the phone.
He then said with some emotion:
"Having a telephone really makes many things much more convenient."
In the past, when Li Qin didn't have many people to contact or much to do, he didn't have much need for telephones.
However, since arriving in Hong Kong, he has found that not having a telephone is indeed very inconvenient.
This problem is now solved.
"We'll stay in Hong Kong for one more night and return to Beijing tomorrow. We'll deliver some supplies to the steel mill then."
Li Qin sat back down in the recliner, leisurely watching the scenery outside the window.
He was secretly making plans in his heart.
He was actually in Hong Kong these past few days, but according to the steel mill's records, he went to the countryside to purchase supplies.
The trip can last for several days, and it would be rather embarrassing if we returned without having gained anything.
At this moment, Li Qin suddenly glanced in the direction of the study, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.
In fact, he has already achieved almost all his goals in coming to Hong Kong, and now he can return to Beijing.
He only chose to stay another night because he wanted to wait for a few things.
As for what Li Qin was waiting for?
Naturally, they are the three great books for time travelers!
These three legendary books have now been almost completely replicated, and with just one more day, they will be fully replicated.
Li Qin planned to return to Beijing after obtaining the complete Three Great Divine Books.
Moreover, after the mechanical pen replicates the three great books, Li Qin will need to arrange for the mechanical pen to continue replicating other things.
Since mechanical pens aren't people, they don't need to worry about human rights. As long as there's a supply of magic, they can work non-stop for 24 hours.
Li Qin wanted to replicate quite a few things, so naturally he couldn't let these mechanical pencils waste his time.
