Chapter 50:
Seeing that everyone didn't squeak, Zhang Chengtian was even more indignant: "Who the hell did it!?" β
A middle-aged man in his forties who didn't recognize Zhang Chengtian because of his poor eyesight said for Zhang Chengtian's sake: "Young man, get out of here." β
The middle-aged man, an old colleague of Gustav, knew Gustav's affection for the Oriental collection.
The box of green tea was a gift that Gustav received during an interview in Asia. Usually, every time Gustav finishes making tea, he will cover the lid well to prevent moisture.
Now it's okay, the tea box on the table is wide open and the tea that has been drunk half "complements each other". Gustav no longer had to worry about the tea getting wet, because the half cup of tea on the table was still steaming, and he had already completed the task of making the tea juice wet.
As for the plate of oriental porcelain, it was kept in Gustav's office for more than five years. Almost every day, you can see Gustav meticulously polishing ceramic plates.
Now Gustav will not bother to wipe the dust more than tomorrow, because the whole porcelain has been shattered into slag.
One can imagine how turbulent Gustav's heart is right now. The treasure that has been treasured for a long time is all ruined by someone after a meal, and it is impossible for anyone to remain calm.
Gustav, however, was slow to have a seizure. He stood quietly on the sidelines and let Zhang Chengtian perform.
Everyone was impressed by Gustav's calmness, and at the same time surprised by Zhang's calmness. Almost everyone can conclude that Zhang Chengtian did the bad thing, but this person alone refuses to admit it.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him with a strange look, Zhang Chengtian smiled wryly: "Anyway, there is nothing for me here." Or? I'll get out of here. β
Shameless! This is the unanimous evaluation of Zhang Chengtian by everyone present. This family really dares to say that if there is nothing to do with him here, who else can it have to do with it. Oh yes, the victim Gustav counts as one.
"Let this go in advance, Major Reinhardt will not leave without doing anything when he comes here, right?" Gustav is a mature politician who is good at adjusting his mentality. After suffering a double loss of material and soul, Gustav was able to quickly adjust his mentality and cut to the point. This mind alone is admirable.
"Oh, yes. I haven't done anything. Zhang Chengtian shamelessly complied with the Tao.
Shameless, shameless. I've seen a donkey go downhill, but I've never seen a donkey go downhill like this. This major general, who is said to be a gift from heaven to Germany, has nothing to do with the traditional German virtues of integrity, justice, honesty, and truth-seeking. can be so justifiably cheating, the whole of Germany may not be able to find a second person.
Ignoring everyone's disdainful gazes, Zhang Chengtian laughed and said, "I almost forgot that my mission was to congratulate Mr. Gustav." β
Congratulations? Congratulations to Gustav for losing a collection that he has always cherished in the course of a meal? A group of Liberals rolled their eyes.
However, Zhang Chengtian stretched out his hand and shook hands with Gustav as if he was unconscious: "Mr. Gustav, I hereby congratulate you. You will receive strong support from the Socialist Workers' Party and financial assistance from the Rheinland Company. β
In the tank? Aid? Gustav was surprised at the same time with a group of Liberal Party members present. As for his bid for chancellor, Gustav is almost 60 percent sure of success. At this time, it received propaganda support from the Socialist Workers' Party, the largest party in Germany, plus the propaganda funds of the emerging Rhine Foundation. Gustav's premiership is almost a certainty.
"Why are you helping me run for election?" Gustav asked suspiciously, "What do you want me to give?" β
"We help you for the future of Germany. As for giving, you don't have to give anything material. If you have to pay something, I think it is your hard work and energy, and the sweat you shed for the rise of Germany. Zhang Chengtian answered Gustav's doubts unhurriedly.
"No other requirements?"
"It's gone."
Gustav suddenly smiled and patted Zhang Chengtian on the shoulder and said, "If so, I am willing to fight for the post of prime minister of the republic." β
Zhang Chengtian also patted Gustav's shoulder with a smile and said, "Mr. Gustav, I didn't say that I asked you to run for prime minister. In fact, we want you to run for the next president of the Weimar Republic. β
Every member of the audience was blindsided by Zhang Chengtian's words and ran for the next president?! Will this work?
Looking at Gustav, who suddenly became speechless, Zhang Chengtian knew that the other party was considering his own proposal.
Without direct persuasion, Zhang Chengtian chose to talk about an irrelevant topic: "Mr. Gustav, I have to remind you of the fact that your so-called collections are not as precious as you think. Take the broken ceramic plate as an example, it seems to be of great value, but in fact it is just a defective product with a beautiful appearance. β
The middle-aged man who persuaded Zhang Chengtian to get out of here just now has become messy in his heart at this moment.
He didn't expect that this shameless young man was the hero Reinhardt who was hyped in the newspapers. He didn't expect that Zhang Chengtian would unashamedly revisit Gustav's old scars when Gustav had just forgotten the embarrassment that had just happened. How shameless does it take for someone to do that.......
Gustav, however, did not express any displeasure. On the contrary, it was surprisingly quiet, as if he was waiting for Zhang Chengtian to continue to finish speaking.
Sure enough, Zhang Chengtian, who had a calm face, continued: "Presumably Mr. Gustav has also heard that I just led a team to raid Ludendorff's estate. β
Several female members of the Liberal Party immediately felt uncomfortable and told the story of the raid so calmly, and the hero in front of him, who had always shown a positive image in the newspaper, seemed to have his ruthless side.
However, Zhang Chengtian adhered to the law of no more than three seconds, and then immediately changed to a flattering expression: "I found a high-quality blue and white porcelain in Ludendorff's estate, as well as a famous oriental tea called Longjing. I believe that these are the things that should be cherished by Mr. Gustav. β
In the end, it was already a blatant bribe. Everyone now knows that Zhang Chengtian has the confidence to sabotage everywhere. This guy already has a more precious substitute in his hands than his destruction.
However, the middle-aged man in his forties only snorted coldly at this. It would be naΓ―ve to think of bribing Gustav, the leader of the Liberal Party, with these things.
Sure enough, Gustav shook his head and said, "I appreciate your kindness, so don't send the gift." β
Just when the middle-aged man thought it was time to send off the guests, Gustav unexpectedly continued: "However, I have now decided to run for the next president. Please express my gratitude on behalf of the Rheinland Company and the Socialist Workers' Party for their support. β
The middle-aged man opened his mouth wide in surprise, Gustav, he was actually moved!? How did the other party do it? Is it relying on shameless momentum?
