Chapter 501: Xiangtang (I)
Songjiang, inside the Chen house. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
After Chen Yunqing heard that her daughter had returned unharmed, her health improved a lot and she had been picked up from the hospital. He had a very bad heart attack this time, and he escaped from the ghost gate for his life, but his mental and physical strength were far inferior to before, and he could hardly take care of things. Even walking, it is very difficult, and I can only sit in a wheelchair and be pushed by my subordinates.
Chen Lenghe pushed a wheelchair and wandered in the back garden with his father, the autumn mood was strong, the plants and trees were withering, and the courtyard of the Chen family was transplanted with a lot of overseas crops, and there were also scenes to enjoy at this time.
Chen Yunqing sighed: "When people are old, they are useless. I thought I could do it for a few more years, but I didn't expect it to be like this now. …… Xiaonan, in this family, Dad is most sorry for you, not only will you be dragged down when you are alive, but if I am not there in the future, the whole family will also drag you down......"
"Dad, don't say that, you have loved me the most since I was a child, how can you be sorry for me. If you hurry up and get your body well and come out of the mountains to help me, I will be the happiest. ”
Chen Yunqing shook his head, "Brother Lu went, Brother Dai's situation is not much better than mine, the three of us, it won't be long before we go over there to do business." In comparison, among our three brothers, I have the best luck to have such an obedient daughter as you. Now when Songjiang mentions Zhengyuan Women's Bank, he has to pick his thumb and say yes, I am also a father and a daughter, and I borrowed your light. ”
"How can there be...... It's not my father's connections, I'm just inheriting my father's excellent bloodline, plus the good team you left me......"
"You will please me, what I leave you with is only a mess, and if you can run it so well, your own efforts and abilities will account for more than fifty percent of the factors. The other half is ...... You know in your own heart that this is also where I am sorry for you. I originally married you to Brother Dai's son, just to know your ambitions, Wen Hui was raised by me, I know his personality, if the two of you are combined, he will definitely not ask you to do anything Mrs. Songjiang. ”
Chen Lenghe chuckled, "Brother Wen Hui, the two of us have been playing together since childhood, and when I return to China, I also like to have dinner with him." He is very good, he is a first-class honest person, and I want to introduce Xiaoxiao to him and be his girlfriend. But if you want to marry him as a husband, forget it, he is too stuffy, like a big log. They will only follow the rules, neither find a way to amuse me, nor create romance, nor will they ride a horse and hold a pistol and say to me that they are here to take me home. Dad, let me tell you a little secret, I'm really in love with him now, if you decide now that I marry Brother Wen Hui, I will run away from marriage again. ”
Chen Yunqing showed a relieved smile on her face, "I am relieved to hear you say this." As long as you are happy, it is better than anything else, reputation, the discussion of the outside world is something that you don't need to pay attention to, don't be affected by those things, your judgment. I believe that he is very good to you, otherwise he would not have come to Songjiang to have a make-up wedding with you, after all, the current situation, for his identity, is the time to stay in his own territory, look at the style, and choose a side. It's nonsense to get married here with you. ”
He pondered for a moment and said tentatively, "Xiao Nan, what if...... I mean, wouldn't it be better if your eldest brother and second brother could attend your wedding? ”
Chen Lenghe's face froze for a moment, but then he still smiled: "I knew that Dad must have something to tell me." The eldest brother and the second brother are still patrolling the house? These people are really, their ears are too dull, right? I will tell the second sister Sai to let her hang up the phone in the patrol room and release her. As for Guanhou, I will guarantee that he will not get along with the eldest brother and the second brother. ”
Chen Yunqing was afraid that Zhao Guanhou would not let go of his son and send people to the patrol room, which was not so much detention as protection. But the father-son relationship is there, and I can't bear to let them live in that kind of place for a long time.
Hearing Chen Lenghe's relief, he finally relieved himself and patted Leng He's hand, "Xiaonan, Dad is very grateful for your generosity, at least when I, the old man, is alive, you still love each other like when you were a child, and I can feel better." ”
"Dad, don't worry, we are a family, how can I account for the eldest brother and the second brother?" Chen Lenghe smiled obediently, "We are no different from the past, I am still your daughter, and I still live in Songjiang." After getting married, Guanhou will return to Shandong, and I will still run a bank here, and nothing will change. Don't worry, no matter how fierce Guanhou is, he is also fierce with outsiders, and he is as obedient as a little sheep to his family. ”
"That's good...... Where is he now, I want him to come to the house for dinner in the evening. ”
Chen Lenghe smiled awkwardly, "That...... He's in the bank...... Talk to people about things. ”
Zhengyuan Bank, in the chairman's office, the photos and other furnishings on the desk belonging to Chen Lenghe have been swept off the carpet. Only Jensen and Zhao Guanhou were left, tightly entangled.
After releasing his emotions, Jenson angrily protested, "Is this unfair? Why did she have a wedding? Is it because she's in charge of this bank? Don't forget, I also have shares in the bank, and in terms of scale and contribution, Huabi is bigger than Zhengyuan. ”
"From other directions, you are also older than her......" Zhao Guanhou said, his hands were non-stop, using his kung fu. If you want, we can always have a wedding that is guaranteed to be bigger and more magnificent......"
"You're finally ...... Finally agreed to give me a wedding? Jensen responded enthusiastically, "Good...... I'm going to...... I want a wedding...... To be Chinese-style. I'm going to sit in a sedan chair and wear a hijab......"
Of course, she is just having a lip service, not mentioning her identity as a surviving person, and Zhao Guanhou has a group of wives and concubines, which is destined to have no formal ceremony between the two. But with this commitment, Jenson has already considered when to hold a small-scale wedding in a very secret way, which can be regarded as the fulfillment of one of his wishes. When she thought of the dragon and phoenix candles and the sedan chair, her enthusiasm that had dissipated burned again, and the flames of war were rekindled.
When the two of them changed from excitement to calm again, Jensen gasped and said, "Ms. Chen Lenghe has embezzled my interests, and I will make her pay sooner or later." If I had known that this was the case, I wouldn't have had to rush back from the Yankees to be involved in rescuing her. ”
"She owes you a favor, this is something that doesn't need to be questioned, even if she doesn't admit it, I have to admit it." Zhao Guanhou nodded, "As for the wedding, you don't have to take it to heart, I think all of you will have a wedding in the future." There are big and small, but there will always be. But there is one thing that you are guaranteed to have, and she does not have. ”
"What?"
"Shandong's financial agency has the power. In China's officialdom, it can barely be regarded as a political envoy now, but in the future, if the Communist Party is established, there will be no more political envoys. It should be that each province has a finance department, which is responsible for the financial power of a province, and I want to give you this position, my wife, are you willing to submit? ”
"Department of Finance...... Do you know what this position means? That is, you handed over the economic lifeblood of your province to me? ”
Zhao Guanhou nodded, "Yes, that's what I meant." Of course, I will send you some subordinates to assist you in your work. After all, you need to be abroad for a long time, but when it comes to finances, you need to have someone at all times. I'll arrange some people to take care of the day-to-day chores. But in the end, the power will be in your hands. I told you, you are my wife, I have believed you. ”
Jensen's eyes moistened slightly, the economy is the lifeblood of the country, and locally, whoever controls the finances will hold the lifeline. Rao is her well-informed character in the shopping mall, and she has never seen anyone who is willing to give up the financial power of a province. My heart was sweet and touched, and I said emotionally:
"No...... I can be your advisor, but nominally, you still have to appoint a Chinese, which is good for your reputation. I...... I may have to leave you for a while longer and go to Belgium to deal with the property. Dispose of all my real estate in Belgium and exchange it for precious metals and securities, and bring it to China. According to you, it is called living with you. ”
In the past, the two were considered to be in a relationship that they needed each other, but according to her arrangement, it became a wreck, and there was no way out. If Zhao Guanhou fails her, she will most likely lose everything. Zhao Guanhou looked at her beautiful eyes, nodded and said, "Don't worry, you don't live up to me, and I will be worthy of you." I will never let you regret your decision. The position of general adviser of the Shandong Department of Finance is vacant, and there is no other place for you. ”
"I'm not afraid of regret, if you deceive me one day, then I am willing to sacrifice for you."
The two lingered for a while before Jensen introduced himself to Tessy's trip. She was entrusted by Zhao Guanhou to exchange the money raised from the Flag Man Fund and the sale of land and calligraphy and paintings to Taixi for gold and shipped back to Shandong.
This kind of large-scale exchange of precious metals can only be handled by a person of Jensen's status, Rao is so, and the process is quite unsmooth, until finally, the Yankees came to a large order, and delivered it with a large amount of gold, so that Jensen can successfully complete the task.
"The Yankees are frantically buying penicillin, and I, who controls the penicillin market, can only curry favor with me, otherwise they won't get it. So, they were willing to help me complete the transaction and agreed to my request to pay for the goods with precious metals. God forbid, those Southerners, they even took out their ancestral silver cutlery in exchange for penicillin. ”
Zhao Guanhou's eyes flashed and said: "In this way, as Ruiinstein's analysis, the Yankee are about to have a civil war." ”
Jensen nodded, "That's true." I would like to thank Reinstein for his analysis, which allowed me to avoid risks and losses in advance. All loans to the Yankees were halted, all transactions were made in cash, at least I didn't have to take the risk. The southern state of the Yankees, dissatisfied with the policies formulated by the new president, thought that they were sucking the blood of the South to feed the factory owners of the North. And the Yankees are a federal state, so those southern states want to leave the federation and form a new government on their own. His Excellency the former President of Utan Pradesh, who has just relinquished his duties as president, has used his power to do many things during his term of office, including...... Transporting weapons and money to the South, you should know best. ”
Zhao Guanhou nodded and smiled, "Yes, I do know very well that the south can be said to have made sufficient preparations, and they also have a large number of soldiers with war experience." Including in the Luzon campaign, most of them were also southerners. The president ******** let them return to China to rest and recuperate, in fact, to accumulate strength for the South. ”
"It is so, in contrast, that the North may be more mobilizing and industrially capable. But there is a shortage of experienced soldiers in Uttar Pradesh, and most of the officers have no experience in actual combat. This battle, I think, will be very interesting war, at least our penicillin, in which we bring great benefits. ”
The more the two talked, the more emotional they became, and they were about to start a white-knuckle charge again, when there was a sudden knock on the door, and then the door was pushed open a crack, and Dianne poked her head in from the outside and said, "The chairman is here......" Then she closed the door like a ghost, and ran to the bathroom with her hands in her eyes.
Without waiting for Chen Lenghe to enter the house, Zhao Guanhou greeted him out, "It's good to make a phone call if you have something, why don't you still need to run." ”
"I also said that I hung up a lot of phones to the office, but no one answered." Chen Lenghe said angrily, with her intelligence, she could naturally imagine the reason for not answering the phone, as well as the embarrassed appearance in her office. Since he didn't want to let himself see it, he was happy to play stupid. grabbed her husband's arm, "Mom stewed soup for us, accompany me back to drink soup." ”
When she was about to leave the door, she looked back at the upstairs defiantly, and said secretly: Foreign devil, Songjiang is my territory, and here, I will not lose to you.
The atmosphere of the family banquet in the evening was good, the two daughters and sons-in-law of the Chen family were called to eat together, and the two sons-in-law promoted themselves to Zhao Guanhou, hoping that he could find a future for himself. At the women's table, Mother Chen also wiped her tears and said: "Xiao Nan, your two brothers are so pitiful, you should be kind and tell Guanhou, don't be like them, they already know their mistakes." ”
When more than halfway through dinner, the Chen family's phone rang suddenly, and after the servant answered, he hurriedly came to Zhao Guanhou, saying that he was looking for him. When he put down the phone, Zhao Guanhou said with a smile: "Really, it's not stable to eat, the consulate has something to look for me, I'm sorry, I really can't refute it." Leng He, get dressed and come with me, the consul's wife wants to see you. ”
The foreigners invited each other, but it was inconvenient to refute it, so Leng He had no choice but to put on his coat, took Zhao Guanhou out of Chen's house, and tried to repeat the conversation between father and daughter to Zhao Guanhou. He also said: "My position, you know, not only the eldest brother and the second brother, but also the Ge Ming party you imprisoned in Shandong, I don't want you to really kill them." That's not what you're supposed to do, can you do it for me...... For the sake of our future children, let them go. ”
Zhao Guanhou didn't answer this question, but helped her into his carriage, and only after the carriage ran up did he whisper: "The one who called just now was not the consul at all, but Ying Xiecheng." I'll take you somewhere, open your eyes, and if you have anything to say, I'll talk about it later. (To be continued.) )
