Fu Yongxi tearfully pointed her finger on his forehead, but she couldn't bear to push it down: "I never thought that you would marry someone else." I thought you were like me, just waiting wholeheartedly and not suspecting me in the slightest. ”

Yu Sibai grabbed her hand and took her in his arms: "Because I can't find someone better than you, but you deserve someone better than me, that's why I think like that." ”

Fu Yongxi was amused, and then naturally asked about his current situation: "Where do you live now?" ”

Yu Sibai replied with some evasiveness: "Places often change." It can't be helped, it's like this. ”

Fu Yongxi guessed some clues from these reactions, this is not an accident, but when it was inevitable to something, she did not accompany him.

In order to skip this embarrassment, Yu Sibai tried to ask Fu Yongxi about her new job in Shanghai.

The two gradually began to talk warmly, and at this moment, there was a discordant sound of fighting outside the window.

Yu Sibai reacted the fastest, and first rushed to the balcony to observe the situation of the bun shop.

Sure enough, the fight came from that side, and five or six men in blue shorts and white cloth and black armbands with the word "work" tied up the boss's family and tried to load them onto a truck. There were already a dozen men and women standing in the body, with their hands and feet tied and their mouths gagged. Yu Sibai felt that something was wrong, and rushed to the gate with an arrow.

This time, Fu Yongxi took a step faster than him, firmly leaned against the door, and asked, "Why are you going, are you going to disappear again?" ”

Yu Sibai knew what Fu Yongxi was worried about, but he couldn't delay the opportunity to save people in order to eliminate this worry. He stretched out his hand behind Fu Yongxi, reached the doorknob hard, and was so anxious that tears gried in his eyes: "There is an accident on the other side, and there is likely to be a murder!" ”

"Who's on the other side?" Fu Yongxi looked at him with wide eyes and asked.

Yu Sibai swallowed his saliva and replied with difficulty: "Victim." ”

Fu Yongxi continued to ask: "What kind of victim?" ”

"Innocent ......"

"I'm asking you, is the person on the other side only helping you occasionally, or can he call you a 'comrade'?" Fu Yongxi excitedly pushed him inside several times, "Even if you haven't seen each other for so many years, you will still quickly recognize me in the sea of people." In the same way, I know every look you have, and what you don't tell me, your eyes tell me. Do you see what those people are wearing, uniform dress means that it has been planned for a long time, and there is no point in you rushing like this! ”

Listening to the movement outside the window, the truck just now had already carried a cart full of people and left, and a fierce light appeared in Yu Sibai's eyes: "I want to know what happened!" ”

Fu Yongxi took two steps back, her emotions gradually calmed down, she put on her coat and calmly promised Yu Sibai: "Everything you want to know, I will help you ask clearly." But! If I come back to find you're gone. Then I will look for you everywhere as 'you' until I find you, or ...... Until I can't look anymore. ”

With that, the door was slammed shut.

Yu Sibai knew how Fu Yongxi did what he said, which made him dare not insist on his ideas anymore.

He had come for a promise, and although it wasn't so specific, he decided in his heart that it should include keeping her safe at all times.

In order to attack the Wuhan National Zheng Mansion and deal with the warlord Sun Chuanfang, who retreated to the north bank of the Yangtze River, Chang Kaishen urgently needed a large amount of military spending. At the end of April, it was decided to issue 30 million yuan of treasury bills through the Finance Committee of Jiangsu and Shanghai, which would be offset by the 25-year surcharge collected by the Jiangxi Customs, and the revenue from the surcharge would be stored by AVIC as a fund for repayment of principal and interest.

Soon after the news spread, Chiang Kai-shek's Finance Committee went to various banks in Shanghai to ask for advances. The hope that the Bank of China had hoped for at the beginning became slim again after the April 12 change. The only thing that can make people reluctant to have fun is that the warlords ask for money and directly take out their guns, and the Kuomintang is not enough, they are just sitting on the rope, and their lives are still guaranteed for the time being.

On this day, in the office of the president of the Shanghai branch, there was an almost pleading cry: "I can't take that much, 300,000 is already the limit." ”

The voice came from an old man over half a hundred years old, with gray hair, a hairline receding high above his head, tortoiseshell-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, and a layer of white mist on the lenses. This person is Han Zhang, the president of the Shanghai branch, a banker who has been the manager of the Shanghai Bank since the Daqing Bank, and under his leadership, the Shanghai branch has gone through ups and downs and has survived. In the first year of the Republic of China, when the Daqing Bank had just been reorganized into the Bank of China, Han Zhang was imprisoned for more than half a month by Chen Qimei, who was then the overseer of Shanghai, for no reason. It seems that it was that time that started the tragedy of repeated extortion of the Bank of China and even the entire China Commercial Bank. At this time, the tears in Han Zhang's eyes were not for the trouble in front of him, but for the sadness of constantly resisting and saving himself for more than ten years, but never being able to jump out of the quagmire.

Qian Gongming of the Finance Committee kept smashing his fist on the desk: "The two banks of CCCC each admit 500,000 yuan, which is not a very large amount. In these extraordinary times, when the soldiers at the front are fighting bloodily for the final victory, are you ready to stand by and watch the country continue to be divided? ”

Han Zhang looked at this official-speaking person, almost unrecognizable to him. After being silent for a while, Han Zhang took off his eyes, wiped and wiped the corners of his clothes, and his body trembled excitedly, he didn't dare to call his old friend anymore, but he still hoped that Qian Gongming could still remember the difficult years in the past: "Commissar Qian, you have also been the deputy manager of the branch of the Bank of Communications, what is the difficulty of us, others don't know, don't you understand?" When I was tight, I could see a copper plate in the crack in the ground, and my eyes could glow. ”

Qian Gongming was stunned for a moment, and swallowed it several times. In the end, he chose to abandon his friendship and only talk about business: "I know, and I understand that it is not easy for you." But you have to know that it is not easy for the soldiers in front, everyone is doing things with their lives, and you only need to make a few more phone calls to dredge up, can you still be difficult to surpass others? ”

This familiar argument pushed the resentment that had been pent up in Han Zhang's heart for many years to the apex of his emotions: "This kind of thing was said by Beiyang warlords in the past, and I don't expect Beiyang to collapse, this word can be extinct from now on, but it shouldn't come out of your mouth anyway!" Can your profession, your resume, and your ideals be discarded in front of your official position? You must know that these calls are not only related to the political situation, but also to the local market, and even the overall economic situation of the whole country. I don't care how crowned your reasons are, barbarism and brutality is not the solution to China's current situation, but it pushes the country to hell even more! Everyone stands in a different place, and the way of serving the country is also different. My loyalty to the country is to be optimistic about the economic keys, and to tell depositors innocently where every money we have come from and where it will go. ”

At this moment, Qian Gongming had already regarded the future financial power as his own, and he had set up the shelf of the Zheng Mansion in advance, so he naturally couldn't stand these lessons, especially because he knew that these words were correct, which made him feel even more embarrassed and then angry: "What do you mean by this, do you think we are dictatorial?!" I see that you were given three points of color in the past, and you dare to open a dyeing workshop with me? ”

"Commissar Qian!" Just when the quarrel was over, He Shunqing rushed to hear the news, took Qian Gongming's hand and shook it tightly when he entered the door, patted him on the shoulder, and bent down to him first, hoping to reduce his anger, "What President Han said is not right, there is indeed not much inventory here in Shanghai. Last year, as much as 50 million or 60 million foreign goods were transported from the southern provinces as military expenditures, with the result that Shanghai has always been in a tight supply. It was only by relying on a batch of silver purchased from abroad that it was urgently delivered to Nanjing and Hangzhou to mint silver dollars, so that the market could be stabilized. Later, whether the Northern Expeditionary Army hit Hubei or Jiangxi, our headquarters had a secret letter to bring it, and we asked the branches around the country to try their best to meet your requirements. If you haven't forgotten the suspension order of Beiyang Zheng Mansion, you should be vigilant, and it will take a few years to make up for a mistake! ”

Qian Gongming withdrew his hand and snorted arrogantly, he still didn't change his position, but he was a little satisfied with He Shunqing's low profile: "I hate the habit of Chinese people, and at what point this is the point, I began to ask for credit." ”

He Shunqing smiled bitterly: "How can this be an invitation? I was outside just now, and I listened to the meaning of the conversation inside, but it was that the nobles and nobles of the committee were too forgetful and omitted all our past sincerity. ”

"The sincerity of the past?" Qian Gongming sneered and said categorically, "What I want is now!" ”

"300,000 is all sincerity." Han Zhang sat on the chair, holding a handkerchief and wiping the sweat and tears on his face back and forth, his tone looked humble and desperate.

Qian Gongming shook his fingers, turned around and left the Bank of China like a wind.

He Shunqing closed his eyes, he knew that it meant that there would be an even bigger storm coming.

A few days later, Song Yufang appeared in Fu Yongxi's apartment holding Xiaobao in a princess dress, and there seemed to be tears on her face.

Fu Yongxi's eyes have been paying attention to the door behind her, she is worried that Xiaobao, who knows everything about the furnishings here, will unintentionally break through Yu Sibai who is hiding at home in the unintentional play, so she has no time to take care of Song Yufang's emotions at all. She even showed a slight impatience with the arrival of her friend: "On the big night, what are you doing with the child dressed up like this and brought it to me?" ”

Song Yufang, who was also preoccupied, couldn't find anything abnormal at all, but sighed and said: "The school organized the children to rehearse the show, and it was originally said that the official performance was tonight, and the parents had to arrive." But something happened to the Bank of China, and Shunqing couldn't go. ”

It turns out that this is the case, Xiaobao's character is a child, once he gets angry, he sits still and doesn't speak. Because of the special reason, Fu Yongxi was a little happy about this, and smiled and nodded Xiaobao's nose meat: "Yo, look at this little mouth pouting." Okay, I know your dad is not good, go back and help you teach him a lesson. ”
