Looking at the magnolia branches outside the window, which are already level with the windowsill on the second floor, the city flower of Shanghai in later generations seems to be a magnolia. There is also a Magnolia Award, I can't remember what the specific evaluation is, and the extension of Magnolia is pure love, sincerity, and nobility. This magnolia was planted by his own hands, and a dozen trees bloomed a few flowers scattered during the March flowering period, but each one exuded a leisurely fragrance, and each one condensed a layer of faint calmness.

The setting sun hung in the western sky, and the gray-yellow hairs on the top buds of the magnolia emitted a yellow-red soft glow. It's not early, and a lot of time is wasted in the office. To call home, Carrotta took a group of female dependents to the street to shop, and told Taojiang to let Hu Wenkai come back to change clothes and wait for them to go to the hotel together. Carrotta gradually evolved into the leading eldest sister of this group of women, nothing but willing to spend money, and every time a group of people went out and came back empty-handed, they carried a lot of clothes in their hands.

Back at No. 3 Lane 181, Hu Taojiang was flipping through his books at the long table, while Jiang Qiuming and Chen Yongcheng were sitting on the sofa smoking cigars.

"Why don't you two go to the hotel yet?"

Jiang Qiuming spread his hands and said helplessly: "Aren't you waiting for Chong Meijuan and Zhang Hongfang, these women are too good at shopping malls, boss, you have to take care of the boss, you can't spend it like this if you have money." ”

"You have to be scared, take your girlfriend to the department store and spend my money, you kid is not satisfied? Isn't Carrotta thinking about you? Hu Wenkai knew that it would be a burden for Jiang Qiuming to go on like this, and accepting Carrotta's gift to them, the young couple would definitely find ways to exchange gifts.

"Don't think too much about it, Carrotta has no one to accompany her, and I am willing to spend as much money as they can accompany her. You are all my brothers, they are concubines, if you have any more of you and him in your heart, I will be really angry. "The key is for them to accept the peace of mind, in fact, it doesn't cost much money, that is, clothes and food.

After being exposed by Hu Wenkai about his worries, Jiang Qiuming laughed and said very shamefully: "Boss, then I'll go back and ask Chong Meijuan to write a shopping list to the proprietress and ask the proprietress to help us bring something from the United States." ”

"I advise you not to meddle in this matter, let them solve it by themselves, are you afraid that your girlfriend will not open the list? I had already told Carrotta. You two go and get the wine and cigarettes in the car, and I'll go upstairs and change my clothes. Hu Wenkai went upstairs to change into a light gray suit and crossed over to the one he made for the first time in Shen Kee's tailoring shop.

Soon after going downstairs, Carrotta led a group of female dependents back with large bags and small bags, Hu Wenkai looked at the people who walked in, Yang Siliang and Li Qiqi walked in with a large bag of clothes, and Li Qiqi greeted Hu Wenkai shyly.

"Siliang, how come you have time to go back to Shanghai?" Yang Siliang has been engaged in the construction of the heavy industry base of Xingye Industry in Xuzhou and the steel mill in Zhenjiang, so it stands to reason that he has no time to return to Shanghai.

Carrotta hurriedly said: "Wen Kai, Yang Siliang is going to marry Li Qiqi next month and come back to buy wedding supplies." ”

"Your kid has finally achieved positive results, did Liu Zhaohui tell you?"

"Thanks to the boss, I'm worried, Jiang Qiuming told me in the afternoon that I can borrow 30,000 yuan, as well as furniture and bedding. Now the problem is all solved, just now I have gone to the bank to get a loan, and sent a telegram to Nanjing to choose a house for me. ”

"Are you buying a house in Nanjing?" Hu Wenkai was shocked, and he had a little heart to see through all of his subordinates.

"Not only did I buy a house in Nanjing, but Jiang Qiuming also entrusted Nanjing to buy a house in the afternoon, and I couldn't afford it if I didn't buy it in advance." Yang Siliang said proudly.

"Yang Siliang, Jiang Qiuming, the two of you are proud, hurry up and give me the address to buy the house, don't buy it on the demolition lot, and it's best to be closer to me. Carrota, you go upstairs and get some money for Yang Siliang to use first. Hu Wenkai gestured to Carrotta with a look, meaning the same number as Chen Yongcheng.

Yang Siliang and Jiang Qiuming begged Hu Wenkai to live and die, don't live together, otherwise there will be no way to rest on Sunday. With a wave of his hand, Hu Wenkai fixed their house near the third archway, not far from the Liangjiang Governor's Palace. Yang Siliang didn't look at the banknotes handed over by Carrota and asked Li Qiqi to put them away, and said that it was just a little bit of the boss's heart, and there was a big head behind when he got married.

"Yang Siliang, how did you learn this from Wu Hongxia? Blackmail me. "Wu Hongxia is very bad, and now the subordinates who come out of Tianfen are almost in the same mold as her, and they like to blackmail Hu Wenkai.

Yang Siliang looked bitter and crooked: "Boss, you can take care of my poor people who are running around Tianfen, Xuzhou, and Zhenjiang." ”

"Li Qiqi, it looks like you're going to re-examine Yang Siliang, this guy likes to blackmail his boss."

"Yang Siliang, why are you like this, it's a shame for me. Don't you just want to get a car and two watches from your boss? "Li Qiqi is not simple, just put the conditions on the table.

Hu Wenkai patted his head and said: "I really met someone unladylike, how did I meet you little couple, don't add any more." Carrotta will send a telegram to the United States tomorrow about the latest car, and the watch will be bought in Shanghai. Catch up with you, you came to Shanghai and asked me to bleed. ”

Zhenjiang's steel plant construction to the final stage, Tianfen's new iron-making blast furnace can be ignited this month, now the key is that Xuzhou's steel-making plant needs to slow down the pace of construction when it encounters a bottleneck, and the ore can not be conveniently transported to Xuzhou, according to Yang Siliang's suggestion, a 190-kilometer railway line needs to be built from Lianyungang. This area is located in the northern Jiangsu Plain, and the cost of building a railway is not high. Hu Wenkai asked Yang Siliang to discuss with Deng Jun to come up with a plan for construction as soon as possible.

According to Yang Siliang's estimates, a single-track railway from Xuzhou to Lianyungang can be built in less than half a year. In this way, the machinery and equipment shipped from France can be directly disembarked from Lianyungang to Xuzhou. In the future, heavy machinery from Xuzhou can also be exported from Lianyungang.

Six or seven cars stopped in front of the Changsha Hotel, and a group of brightly dressed men and women walked into the Changsha Hotel under the guard of the special service members. Du Zijuan experienced this occasion for the first time, and usually didn't feel any difference with Carotta and Wang Changhui, when she got out of the car, Li Qiqi said that this is the top banquet in China today, Chong Meijuan was puzzled why she said this. Li Qiqi whispered that in the next few years, this will be the state banquet, and even now, there is no one in China who can compare with the boss.

Hearing Li Qiqi say this, Du Zijuan immediately felt different, both sides of the hotel lobby were covered with security personnel, and the hotel owner accompanied Lao Yi to stand at the elevator entrance and wait for them.

"The teacher is already here?" Hu Wenkai asked.

Without waiting for Lao Yi to answer, the owner of the hotel bent down and said, "Principal Liang has been here for a while, and Principal Fan Yuanlian Fan is talking with a few guests in the private room. ”

Hu Wenkai nodded and said, "Thank you for the arrangement, please arrange a few Cantonese dishes, my teacher is Cantonese." ”

"Mr. Hu, the dishes have been arranged, and they were ordered by Principal Liang himself. I immediately arranged for someone to add a few more Cantonese dishes. The owner of the hotel kept sending them to the door of the box before leaving.

Pushing open the door of the box, he recognized Xu Dashi and Hu Weinei at a glance. The round glasses are framed on the face, the person looks average but has a little aura, thin and wearing a plaid suit, and a style that is so thick that it can't be dissolved is Xu Zhimo. Hu Shi is above average and above about 1.7 meters tall, delicate, white, "bachelor's head", and wears a light gray suit like Hu Wenkai.

"Wen Kai, let me introduce, this is my former student Xu Zhimo, this talented Dr. Hu Shi, this is my closed disciple Hu Wenkai." Liang Qichao got up to introduce Hu Wenkai.

Hu Wenkai stepped forward and shook Xu Zhimo's hand and said, "Brother Xu, I have heard of a great name for a long time, and it is rare to see it today." ”

Isn't Xu Zhimo still in Germany in 1922, is it caused by his own reasons, in fact, this is completely caused by Hu Wenkai, the big donor Hu Wenkai indirectly sponsored Xu Zhimo to travel to the United States, just returned to Shanghai to thank Liang Qichao for providing funds to sponsor him to travel to the United States, ready to go to Far Eastern University to teach as agreed.

Hu Shi was invited by Xu Zhimo to Shanghai to visit Far Eastern University, and Liang Qichao said that Far Eastern University was out of the blue, causing Xu Zhimo to try to describe the superiority of Far Eastern University in his correspondence with Hu Shih. Hu Shi also heard that Far Eastern University has excellent educational conditions, and this time he came to meet Xu Zhimo, and wanted to visit Far Eastern University by the way.

"You are the disciple Hu Wenkai who the teacher often mentions? Fortunately, I will be honored. Xu Zhimo looked Hu Wenkai up and down, but the rest of his eyes scanned a group of beauties who were following Hu Wenkai.

Hu Wenkai took Hu Shi's hand and sprayed violently: "You are Dr. Hu Shi, the master of the May Fourth Movement, you have admired it for a long time, and your arrival is shining." ”

Hu Shi smiled indifferently: "Hu Daoyi has won the award, I listened to the live broadcast of your report, in my heart you are a master." ”

Nima and Nima personally sympathized with each other, and then sprayed: "If there is no Dr. Hu, the situation in the vernacular will have to appear at least twenty or thirty years later." ”

This sentence obviously slapped on the horse's buttocks, Hu Shi's face brightened, and he shook Hu Wenkai's hand vigorously: "Hu Daoyi, you have won awards, and you have won insignificant." ”

Fan Yuanlian interrupted their mutual praise on the side: "Wen Kai, let's start the table, it's almost seven o'clock." ”

At the opening of the table, Liang Qichao suggested that the table seat should not be seated at will, which is Hu Wenkai's habit. Carrotta sat next to Hu Wenkai on the left side, and Lao Yi was about to sit down on his right side, but was driven away by Du Zijuan and sat down on his own. muttered next to Hu Wenkai: "Scumbag, I don't have any taste to eat when I see this person." ”

Hu Wenkai knew who she was talking about, but how did he learn his mantra, how did this scumbag say it so smoothly.

"You know? He's in England and Germany, won't he go to France too? Hu Wenkai whispered.

"We had a meal together when we were passing through France, and then we stuck like flies. You can only read his poems and can't see others, and like you, you can't see others if you want to hear his voice. ”

Hu Wenkai's half-dead anger described him like this, he wouldn't think that he had a bad idea of her, so how could he be so affectionate to watch himself cover him with a blanket last night. I'm not going to deal with this girl, and I'm duplicitous.
