Chapter 363: Waiting
Half an hour later, the personable He Hongtao took the three documents filled in by Zheng Yi and left. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Zheng Yi admired his father's efficiency, and also experienced a loving father's deep affection and strong desire to keep his son by his side.
After sending He Hongtao away, Zheng Lanting, who was full of interest, called Zheng Yi to his study, and asked before he sat down: "Why, the Communist Party allows you to stay in Hong Kong?" ”
Zheng Yi smiled, shrugged his shoulders and said, "I think you know that the Communist Party is very poor, and there are really not many people in the party who will make money. ”
Zheng Lanting laughed heartily: "Okay! All right! I don't interfere with your beliefs, as long as you can stay in Hong Kong...... I know that you have a calm personality, open-minded, and don't like to flatter others, but you still need to be gentle in business, which will be of great benefit to your future career. ”
"Father, will my identity be revealed?"
Zheng Yi was a little worried that everyone in the business community would be known because of his passport application, so it would not be long before the Kuomintang spies heard the news.
Zheng Lanting patted his son's shoulder lovingly: "Don't worry, the He family, like our Zheng family, is a big family that can keep its mouth." ”
"In addition, your identity is only known to the head of the He family and several junjie of the younger generation, in public, your identity is a side branch of my Zheng family, not my second son Zheng Lanting, even if there are so few people who know your true identity, you don't need to worry about leaking secrets."
"What's more, your appearance and temperament have changed a lot now, just like the twenty-eight years old you filled out on the application form, no one will doubt it."
At this point, Zheng Yi finally put his mind at ease: "Since this is the case, then I will move to No. 33 Baode Street as soon as possible." ”
Zheng Lanting thought about it and bowed slightly: "If you want to move, you can move, it's not far from here, you can come back for dinner at any time...... You don't have to worry about Liu Yu's work, your fourth aunt has already taken her to the newspaper, and now she is working as a copy editor, and she will make arrangements after she is familiar with the business. ”
"In addition, I spoke with two British shareholders of Swire Shipyard this morning, and they are very interested in your proposal, but we still need to seek the consent of HSBC, which owns 47% of the shares, but I don't think it will be a big problem."
"Before that, I need you to submit a more detailed report, including that there must be a clear solution to the marketing of the product, and that the British people can see the great benefits involved...... Can it be done? ”
Zheng Yi smiled confidently: "No problem, I'll write it tonight." ”
……
……
Zheng Yi spent one night completing the feasibility report on the production of light weapons and auxiliary equipment at the Taikoo Shipyard, and handed it over to Zheng Lanting, who was about to go to work at the Governor's Palace, at 8 a.m. the next day, and then went to the restaurant at home to have breakfast.
In the restaurant, only the fourth aunt and Liu Yu were left to talk while eating, Zheng Yi's three young siblings had already asked the maid to send them to the church school, and the two maids saw Zheng Yi coming, and hurriedly served the tableware, and asked Zheng Yi in a low voice if he wanted milk or coffee?
The fourth aunt, who was not much older than Zheng Yi, asked with a smile: "Xiao Yi, how about letting Liu Yu be my assistant for a period of time first?" ”
Zheng Yi's eyes widened and he looked a little surprised, he learned last night that the fourth aunt was not only one of the shareholders of Asia News Group, but also the general manager of the "Oriental Daily".
From the acquisition to the reorganization, until the official launch a few months ago, the "Oriental Daily" was run by this beautiful woman with British study experience and many talents, but I don't know why this woman suddenly let Liu Yu take her assistant position.
According to the original arrangement, Liu Yu should first work as a copy editor in the editorial department, and then consider what to do after he is familiar with the operation of the newspaper.
Liu Yu looked at Zheng Yi with a red face, embarrassed to explain the reason, and the fourth aunt laughed: "Since you don't object, then it's decided!" Also, I heard that the two of you are going to move to Baode Street in two days, and although the environment there is good, it is a little far away from where the newspaper office works...... You see, do you need to buy a car to get around? ”
Zheng Yi finally understood that the fourth aunt was showing favor to herself, so she smiled and thanked humbly: "Thank you Fourth Aunt for taking care of me, I am very relieved that Liu Yu can follow you to learn, as for buying a car, I'm afraid it will take a few days, my bank account has been managed by Xiaofu for me, and it is not too late to buy a car when Xiaofu comes back." ”
The fourth aunt was too disgusted and said: "Where is the use of a few thousand pounds of trivial things to wait for Xiaofu to come back?" During the lunch break, Liu Yu and I went to the car dealership to have a look, and if we liked it, we would buy it back first. ”
"Oh yes, I heard that the western-style building on Boyde Street you bought is not small, and the small garden covers an area of more than 6,000 feet, so it must need a few servants to take care of it, have you found a servant?"
Zheng Yi didn't want to look for a strange servant: "I have also thought about this matter, and I want to wait for Xiaofu to come back and solve it together...... Last year, many Huangzhou villagers moved to Hong Kong with Xiaofu's family, and I heard that more than 20 Huangzhou villagers who couldn't survive moved in one after another! ”
"These people are all well-known villagers in Hubei Province, so I want to wait for Xiaofu to come, discuss with my godfather and godmother, and find an honest villager to help take care of the housework."
"Well, things are very thoughtful, then wait for Xiaofu to come back, your father specially left you a car, the driver is the son of Uncle Huo, the young man's driving skills are good, and he is honest, if you want to use the car, you can directly order it to go down...... Okay, Liu Yu and I are going to work. The fourth aunt stood up with great grace.
Zheng Yi also stood up and said a few words to Liu Yu and returned to the table again, thinking about what he should do next while eating.
Although Zheng Yi was mentally prepared enough when he was in Huhai, knowing that it would be difficult for him to return to the army in a short period of time, he never expected that after handing over the intelligence system to the central government, there would be nothing to do with himself, and this result was far more painful than the direct and severe punishment, and it was still difficult to accept until now.
From the former commander-in-chief of the enemy's headquarters who led the two main divisions to the quartermaster minister under the Junwei Committee, this change was too big and too sudden.
Nominally, the two positions seem to be high and low, but in fact, the position of the quartermaster minister is a fictitious position, there is no clear order, and there is no clear goal given to him, this result makes Zheng Yi extremely disappointed, at this moment, he does not even know who his direct leader is, what he is responsible for next, and what channels to provide funds to the central government.
Zheng Yi could only infer from the content of the letter of instruction and the fact that Huafeng Trading Company was under his jurisdiction what the central government needed to do.
Therefore, Zheng Yi was very depressed at this time, and he had a premonition that a certain member of the Central Committee would come to meet him and give him clear instructions.
Before that, Zheng Yi could only wait silently. (To be continued.) )
