The night was dark. It was nine o'clock in the evening. Although the high temperature of the day has passed, the temperature of Qiu Zai is not very pleasant, even if he is sitting in the gazebo. The folding fan in your hand is still an indispensable tool for enjoying the coolness.

This is the south city of Beijing, Qingfeng Hutong, the location here is not very remote, but it is not very close to the bustling Liulichang and Liangjiayuan, and it is also some distance from Daqianmen Railway Station, so. The traffic here is very convenient, but it is not lively, especially at night, the surrounding is lonely, even the sound of dogs barking is rarely heard, for people who like to be clean, choose here as an apartment, you can make the most of its advantages.

Yang Wangpeng's apartment is in this Qingfeng alley. It was an ordinary courtyard house, but it was not bought by him, but rented by him, and not only he and his family lived here, but also some people who had no place to live, and these people were all former members of the Endeavor Society. Among them, there were many high-ranking cadres, and when they heard that Yang Wangpeng had served as a senior counselor in the National Assembly, these people came to Beijing from all over the country to seek refuge in the former leader. Counting on Yang Wangpeng to do some good work for them, if they can be officials, they will be even happier.

In this way, Yang Wangpeng worked part-time as an employment agent, and his small courtyard has also become an employment agency, and people who came to look for jobs came batch after batch, and those who found jobs could not forget here, and they would make some contributions to this courtyard, and this pavilion was built by them with fund-raising.

Yang Wangpeng did arrange some decent jobs for some people, such as going to a foreign bank to be a comprador or to a train station as a dispatcher, in a word, for these former subordinates. He can indeed be regarded as a righteous person, but after all, he has his own job, and it is impossible for him to be distracted for too long. And considering the influence of public opinion, he is now in a bit of a dilemma, and now there are more than 50 people living in this small courtyard, and the daily meal money alone is a lot of expenses.

Although Yang Wangpeng is a member of the National Assembly and a senior senator of the National Assembly, this allowance is indeed a lot, but it can't stand so many "doormen" who eat rice. Yang Wangpeng originally planned to save some money to buy a domestic car, but now it seems that this car purchase plan can only be postponed indefinitely. To support domestic products, it also needs economic backing.

Now, Yang Wangpeng is sitting in the gazebo. Drinking tea with a few "doormen", everyone is holding a folding fan in their hands, chatting, while shaking the folding fan around, from time to time someone stretches out his hand, pats on the arm, drives away those annoying mosquitoes, the weather is hot, everyone is short shirts and shorts, and indeed can not stand the attack of mosquitoes.

Everyone is now discussing the matter of inviting people to eat and drink in the evening, in fact, the banquet has been prepared for a long time, but the guests have never been seen, so everyone can only sit and drink tea in this pavilion.

I don't know who got up, the topic gradually shifted to the original decision-making mistakes of the Qunzhi Society and the Endeavor Association, and everyone was enthusiastic, but Yang Wangpeng was silent.

Yang Wangpeng blamed himself, if he hadn't led the Qunzhi Society to Henan to exhibit, then today's people might be better mixed than now, at least, there would not be so many people in the cadres of the Endeavor Club or the Qunzhi Society, who have nothing to do, are idle, and their skin is getting thicker and thicker.

Who would have thought? However, in just one year, Zhao Bei actually became the president of the Republic of China. If the Qunzhi Society had decided to follow Zhao Bei from the beginning, everyone might be like Zhang Licheng and Pan Kangshi now, they were already famous figures, how could they be willing to be "doormen" under others?

It is said that "those who know the times are handsome." "At the end of the day. The reason why the Qunzhi Society and the Endeavour Club ended gloomily is that they can't understand current affairs, but who is to blame? Yang Wangpeng? The decision to leave Hubei and go to Henan was the unanimous opinion of the high-level of the Qunzhi Society, and Yang Wangpeng's role was just a suggestion, so if he had to find someone to take responsibility for this, none of the high-level figures of the Qunzhi Society could escape, although the place they wanted to go to at the beginning was Sichuan.

But then again, who would have thought that a young man in his twenties would have such an opportunity, from a revolutionary nobody, to the sky in one step, and become the national leader of this Republic of China. The unpredictability of the world is evident from this.

Everyone can only lament that their encounters are not as good as others, they really can't understand why Zhao Bei is always ahead of others, and his vision is unmatched. The action is even more vigorous and resolute, which may be the secret of Zhao Bei's success, others can't learn it if they want to, let alone learn it.

Just as the downcast in the pavilion sighed, the hidden courtyard door was pushed open from the outside, and Deng Wang hurriedly walked in and stepped to the edge of the pavilion in a few steps.

"Everyone, hurry up and change your clothes, the guests are here, and the president is also here."

Everyone was stunned, they didn't invite the president over, and now the president didn't know how to come, which really made them a little at a loss.

"Change of clothes".

Yang Wangpeng reacted quickly and waved his fan. The crowd dispersed in a hurry, and each went back to his house to change his clothes and was poisoned. Many people who are interested in the president even put on a full set of dresses, and despite the hot weather, Yang Wangpeng couldn't help but sigh at the complexity of human nature when they wore a bowler hat on their heads, and when they were tied up and tied up in a bow tie, Yang Wangpeng couldn't help but sigh at the complexity of human nature.

The hand is, when Zhao Bei, the president of the Republic of China, walked into this courtyard, the president was greeted by more than 50 men and women dressed neatly, which made the president a little stunned.

"Zilun, what are you doing here? It's not the ancient emperor who went to the minister's house to hang out, we are gathering as friends, why should your dress be so formal? I'm not one. Nitpickers. ”

See the president in a shortshirt and shorts. The guests behind him were also dressed in the same way, and everyone was a little embarrassed, and they all stared at Yang Wangpeng.

Yang Wangpeng smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "The president can't be rude when he comes to the cold house, right?" If the president comes first. phone, we don't have to dress so formally. ”

There was something in this, Zhao Bei heard it, the net also heard it, and even Zhang Licheng and Pan Kangshi, who came with the president, also heard it. As a result, there was some silence in the courtyard for a while, and no one dared to speak.

Zhao Bei didn't mind how Yang Wangpeng complained, and he didn't come to meet Yang Wangpeng this time. Even if he can't come today, he will find a time to come and talk to Yang Wangpeng in the future, he hopes that the other party is a person who knows the current affairs, it doesn't matter how unhappy the two were in the past, what matters is how it will be in the future, politicians, that is, to learn to change face, yesterday's enemies may not be able to become allies today, Endeavor has become history, and the members of this organization can no longer make any waves, so it is appropriate to woo it. There are only good, no harm, the so-called "unite all forces that can be united." That's exactly what I said.

"Zilun, it's not that I don't want to call you, and it's not that my superiors came to talk to my subordinates, I came here today, not as president, but as a revolutionary comrade to talk to you, between revolutionary comrades. Do you still need to put on a show?

Zhao Bei's words made Yang Wangpeng's heart surge, the word "revolutionary comrade" has not been heard for a long time, and now. Most people believe that the revolution has been successful and that there is no need for any "revolutionary comrades", and now the president is suddenly going to be a "revolutionary comrade" with himself. What kind of political tricks is the president playing?

Come to think of it. Yang Wangpeng was not in the mood to play meditation with Zhao Bei, and hurriedly invited the president into the wing, the room could not accommodate too many people, and only a few old members of the Qunzhi Society were qualified to sit at the same table with the president and his entourage, drinking and talking, as for the others, they could only wait honestly outside the house, and some people who were eager to go from the dragon were so anxious that they were shaking around the courtyard.

In fact, there are a total of seven people sitting in the wing room drinking, Yang Wangpeng is the host, Deng Gang, Li Suhe, Zhang Licheng, Pan Kangshi, and Zhao Bei are all guests, as for Qin Sihu, he is still the president, Mr.'s personal bodyguard, standing tall and strong at the door, no one wants to enter and exit the wing room at will, among these seven people, Qin Sihu and Li Shouhe have nothing to do with the Qunzhi Society. Both are presidents, and they are held together.

Although he was a guest, Zhao Bei still sat forward, raised his wine glass, did it first as a respect, and drank half a bottle of Erguotou with everyone in one go

。

"Zilun, I don't go around the bend with you, I also know that you are a straight person, and you don't like to go around the bend, so I will open the skylight with you and say something. Actually, I'm here today to make a deal with you, a secret deal. ”

Yang Wangpeng was stunned, and Deng Gang was also stunned, they really didn't expect that Zhao Bei would speak so directly, but it was similar to the way the characters in the rivers and lakes talked about numbers.

In that year, he instigated the anti-Qing revolution. Yang Wangpeng had a lot of dealings with people in the rivers and lakes, so he put the wine glass on the table and nodded.

"Zhenhua but it doesn't hurt to be blunt. But this is not the place to talk, let's go inside. ”

Yang Wangpeng and Zhao Bei entered the inner room, the two of them sat down, after Qin Sihu closed the door, Zhao Bei raised his hand, pointed out the window, and said: "I know, those people in the courtyard are all members of the Endeavor Association in the past, and they are coming to you now, and I want to ask you to go to the door, help them find some good errands, and find some without hardship." But you can get paid for your job. I'll shine with you. At the end of the day, the government departments of the northwestern and southwestern provinces will soon vacate some seats, although they are all middle- and low-level positions, but they are much better than running the streets and writing in foreign banks, and those people in the courtyard, as long as they are willing, as long as they abide by the laws of the country. Then, they can go and take over those positions. ”

"So, what is Zhenhua's quid pro quo?" Yang Wangpeng asked quietly.

The quid pro quo was simple: in a few days Congress would negotiate a treaty on a military alliance between China and Germany. At that time, I hope that you will be able to speak in your capacity as a senior senator of the National Assembly, and I have prepared this speech for you, so you can just memorize it when the time comes. ”

After speaking, Zhao Bei took out a piece of letterhead and put it on the coffee table. , if you want to know
