Chapter 269: Celebration Banquet
The Metropolitan Governor announced in public that he would accept Sun Shuojie's submission, make Sun Shuojie a major general, and let Sun Shuojie continue to lead his subordinates to fight against the zombie army in the southern provinces.
Moreover, he also sent Rahu to do this, and Rahu received the order.
Then, the Metropolitan Governor took the opportunity of this meeting to reward the soldiers who participated in the reconquest war in the southern provinces, mainly to promote Chen Ning from colonel to major general, and also rewarded Chen Ning with a Medal of Heroism in recognition of Chen Ning's contribution to fighting zombies. In addition, the Metropolitan Governor also rejected Fu Yunfei's accusation that Chen Ning colluded with the rebels.
Not only was Chen Ning promoted, but Kan Jing and Qin Yingqi were also promoted from colonel to colonel, and all the soldiers of the Black Legion, even the logistics staff, all had promotions in rank and rich rewards.
Qin Que and Duan Canglong, as well as Butcher, Bai Chongshan, Luo Hu and others came to congratulate Chen Ning, after all, the promotion from school officer to general officer is a gap that ordinary people can hardly cross in their lifetime, Chen Ning has done it now, which means that Chen Ning will step into the upper echelons of the empire in the future.
Moreover, Chen Ning is the confidant of the Metropolitan Governor, and everyone knows that the Metropolitan Governor may be about to abdicate, and it is very likely that Chen Ning will be supported as his successor.
Therefore, no matter whether everyone had a deep friendship with Chen Ning before, just because Chen Ning has an unlimited future in the future, and because he is in the same camp as Chen Ning, they must come to congratulate Chen Ning.
Chen Ning was also very happy in his heart, although he had a desire before, but he didn't really think that he could really achieve such an achievement, at this time he intimately shook hands with Qin Que, Butcher, Luo Hu, Bai Chongshan and other friends one by one, and thanked them one by one: "Thank you, without everyone's support, there would be no Chen Ning today." ”
Some people are happy and some are sad, Chen Ning and his gang are happy, but Fu Yunfei and his gang have a bad face.
Fu Yunfei stood up and said, "Metropolitan Governor, since the matter here has a result for the time being, let Sun Shuojie's rebel army resist the zombies, then I will lead my subordinates back to the Qinglong Emperor Capital." ”
Xiao Ke nodded: "Well, I will also go to the imperial capital with Chen Ning and them in two days." I've been gone for too long, and the top level of the military department needs to hold a big meeting, and many things have to be discussed, and even the top level of the military department has to be reorganized. ”
When Chen Ning and the others heard Xiao Ke's words, they all looked at each other, and everyone realized that after the Metropolitan Governor returned to the imperial capital of Qinglong City, the four generalissimos would definitely ask the Metropolitan Governor to abdicate and make way for Xian, and re-elect a new Metropolitan Governor, a battle of interests is estimated to start soon.
Xiao Ke was in poor health, and after a few hours of meetings, he was already tired, and his cough became more urgent, and even Chen Ning noticed that when Xiao Ke coughed, the white handkerchief used to cover his mouth was faintly bloodshot.
Chen Ning couldn't help but be more worried about Xiao Ke's body, but Xiao Ke had already announced his dissolution at this time, and three days later, except for the local legions such as Bai Chongshan, most of the legions would return to Qinglong City with him, including Chen Ning's black legions.
Because there are many officer schools and training bases in Qinglong City, when the training base and officer schools graduate, everyone can select soldiers and talents to supplement the vacancies in the legion.
In addition, there is another reason that Xiao Ke's abdication will inevitably cause a conflict of interests for the throne of the new Grand Governor, Xiao Ke's forces and the forces of the four generalissimos are not allowed to use force when competing for interests, so Xiao Ke transferred all his elite legions to Qinglong City, just in case!
Although the meeting ended, the Metropolitan Governor left Chen Ning behind and called Chen Ning to the study alone.
Xiao Ke called Chen Ning for a very simple reason, just told Chen Ning that he had listed Chen Ning as the first choice for his successor, so that Chen Ning could be mentally prepared.
Chen Ning wanted to excuse himself, but as soon as he wanted to speak, Xiao Ke said, "I'm tired, you can step down, I need to take medicine and rest." ”
Chen Ning had no choice but to retreat.
Chen Ning came out of the City Lord's Mansion and suddenly saw Xie Yongqiang, an old friend of the Black Shark Legion, waiting for him to come out.
After Xie Yongqiang saw Chen Ning, he excitedly thanked Chen Ning and congratulated Chen Ning on his promotion to major general, and then said with a smile: "Qin Que, Duan Canglong, Bai Chongshan, Butcher and other commanders, in the Yueyue Restaurant, chartered the venue, and gave Major General Chen a celebration wine, so let me wait here to inform you, please be sure to appreciate it." ”
Chen Ning couldn't cry or laugh, raised his fist and gave Xie Yongqiang a look, and scolded with a smile: "Brother Xie, you have a fight with my brother, you are still so polite to me in private, as long as we talk in private in the future, you will call me Brother Chen, and I will call you Brother Xie!"
Xie Yongqiang thought to himself, where do I dare to call you brother, you are now a major general!
However, although Xie Yongqiang didn't dare to call Chen Ning brother, he called Chen Ning Brother Chen very interestingly.
Chen Ning asked Xie Yongqiang to go to the Yueyue Hotel first, he went back to change his clothes, and brought his comrades-in-arms and brothers and sisters to celebrate together.
In fact, the biggest chaebol supporter behind the Black Legion, that is, Liu Hong, the head of the Liu family, and Liu Yu, the second leader, knew that Chen Ning led the Black Legion to return triumphantly, and Liu Ruyan, who was the quartermaster of the Black Legion, also came back safely, and even Liu Ruyan had a chance to be promoted to school officer, which made Liu Hong and Liu Yu extremely happy. In addition to worshiping the ancestors and ancestors and comforting the ancestors, in addition to the Liu family having a female officer, they also had a large banquet to celebrate Chen Ning's black army.
However, Chen Ning was promoted to major general today, and Qin Que and the others had a treat, he didn't dare not go, after all, there was still a butcher among the guests.
Therefore, after Chen Ning went back, he explained the situation to Liu Hong and Liu Yu, and the internal celebration banquet of the Black Army will be held tomorrow.
Tonight, Kan Jing and Qin Yingqi, Liu Ruyan, Bull Demon King, Zhao Jiangfeng, Shen Bijun, Zhang Xinyi, and Gu Yutong and other officers of the Black Army all went to the Moon Restaurant to participate in the celebration banquet, and Chen also invited Liu Hong and Liu Yu to go together.
Before Liu Hong and Liu Yu, the only big man who could climb the relationship was Yu Wenyuan, but Yu Wenyuan had no real power, at this time, Chen Ning had become a major general, and the people who celebrated Chen Ning tonight were all generals with real power such as Qin Que and Duan Canglong, they were a little flattered when they heard that Chen Ning asked them to go too, Liu Hong asked excitedly: "Chen, General Chen, are the two of us suitable?"
Chen Ning said with a smile: "Hehe, the Liu family has always given strong support to the Black Legion, without you as the strong backing of the Black Legion, how could the Black Legion win such a victory? Besides, the two of you, one is Major Liu's uncle, and the other is Major Liu's father, are both your own people, what's inappropriate?"
said unintentionally, the listener was intentional, Chen Ning mentioned Liu Ruyan, and said the word "own person", Liu Hong and Liu Yu, the two brothers, were a little wrong.
The two elders of the Liu family thought that Chen Ning was interested in Liu Ruyan, what was he implying about?
When the two thought about it, they were happy in their hearts, and immediately went to find Liu Ruyan, Liu Yu asked her daughter to dress more beautifully tonight, and said that she would serve Chen Ning to drink, and it was best to be Chen Ning's female companion, and then toast to the guests, so as not to lose Chen Ning's face.
Liu Ruyan couldn't cry or laugh when she heard this: "Uncle, Dad, you think too much, even if you attend the banquet tonight, Chen Ning needs a female companion, and it will be Kan Jing, how can I be qualified!"
Liu Yu said eloquently: "Don't be verbose, my daughter is so beautiful, and Chen Ning is not Liu Xia Hui, doesn't he like my daughter, it doesn't exist." As for Kan Jing, I know that the female officer is very handsome in a military uniform, but if she wears an evening dress, she may not be as charming and moving as my daughter. ”
Liu Hong also said: "Niece, the opportunity is for those who are prepared, then Kan Jing is not allowed to attend in military uniform tonight, on the occasion of a banquet, a man will definitely bring a female companion, otherwise it will be very embarrassing." When the time comes, Kan Jing is not suitable, of course, you will accompany Chen Ning to entertain special guests, no need to hesitate. ”
Liu Ruyan had no choice, so she could only choose a set of brand-name cyan embroidered cheongsam, dressed enchanting and moving, and then went to the Yueyue Restaurant to participate in Chen Ning's celebration banquet.
But after Liu Ruyan and his entourage drove to the door of the Invitation Moon Restaurant, they happened to meet Chen Ning and Kan Jing, as well as the rest of the Black Army, and they were about to enter the venue together.
What stunned Liu Ruyan was that Kan Jing was also wearing a cheongsam exactly like her, which was extremely charming and beautiful.
Crash shirt!
Kan Jing and Liu Ruyan looked at each other dumbfounded, and said in unison: "The owner of the clothing store told me that there is only one set of this cheongsam!"
Chen Ning looked at the two women wearing the same cheongsam, each with its own merits and beautiful women, and said with a smile: "Needless to say, you must have all been deceived by the owner of the clothing store." ”
Now it's too late to change clothes, Kan Jing and Liu Ruyan can only walk into the restaurant with an embarrassed escort Chen Ning, Qin Que and countless other guests in the restaurant are already waiting for tonight's protagonist Chen Ning to appear, but when they saw Chen Ning appear with two peerless beauties, they all looked at each other, and the butcher frowned: "Chen Ning, this kid, is a little unlearned, with two female companions wearing the same cheongsam, what does it mean, implying that these two are his wives?"
