Chapter Fifty-Six: Become an Official!
chatted with Qian Xinlin all night, and woke up at four o'clock in the afternoon.
In fact, he was woken up, and there was a piano sound in the living room, the rhythm was cheerful, and he played it very skillfully, Li Weimin knew that it was not his fiancée who played it, because she would not disturb his rest, and he had never played this song.
"For the people, get up."
"Mrs. Yao, why are you here!"
Chen Lichun closed the lid, looked back at Wu Lijun, who was blushing, and said with a wicked smile: "For the people, if you live together without getting married, what are you?" ”
This kind of thing can't be explained, it will only get darker and darker, Li Weimin grinned and smiled: "Cultivating feelings, you can understand it as a trial marriage." ”
"It's about Lijun's reputation, if you try, you have to end it, don't be half-hearted."
"Of course it will end, I'm not the kind of person who gives up in the first place."
"That's pretty much it."
After Chen Lichun finished teaching people, she took out a passport, a document and an invitation card from the small bag on the piano, and said in an unquestionable tone: "Mr. Commissioner, go and change into decent clothes, and accompany me to the Queen's Hotel with Lijun to attend the cocktail party, hurry up, don't let the diplomats wait for a long time." ”
"Mr. Commissioner?"
"Commissioner of the Refugee Commission, this is the letter of appointment."
Ngo Dinh Diem has a very good memory, and when he was in Paris, he half-jokingly said that he wanted to change his passport, and as soon as he returned, he asked people to get a new one. Not only did he become Vietnamese overnight, but he even appointed an official, which is really cronyism.
Looking at the way he wanted to speak, Chen Lichun said impatiently: "The industrial village plan does not contradict the resettlement of refugees, and it will be more efficient for you to serve as a member of the refugee committee." And with a committee membership, Li Wenyuan will have some scruples and dare not deal with you like before. ”
"But...... But I don't want to show up so soon, and I don't want Lijun to be targeted by them. ”
"Don't be stupid, you went to Jialong Palace last night, and the outside of Jialong Palace was full of their eyeliner, do you think you can't find this place without participating in the drinking party?"
Li Weimin muttered: "Then what kind of drinking party do you want me and Lijun to attend?" ”
"If you are cowardly like this, how can you do big things?"
Chen Lichun glared at him with hatred, pointed to a few guards downstairs and said, "See, from now on, they are all the Prime Minister's Guard, and to deal with you again is to fight against the government." In addition, Le Van is far from being so stupid, he is now waiting to see the jokes of the new government, and he will not act rashly. ”
Only then did Li Weimin notice that Ah Cheng and the others had all changed into military uniforms, and they were all "co-opted" by Wu Tingyan, scratched his head, and asked with a smile: "Mrs. Yao, so from now on, I can enjoy the security treatment of the prime minister?" ”
"Not satisfied?"
"Satisfied, it's just a bit ...... to be so ostentatious It's an exaggeration. ”
"It's better to exaggerate than to be a turtle with a shrunken head, don't rub it off, go change your clothes."
I'm not crazy if your family is crazy, your family is not afraid of death, I'm terrible to die, Li Weimin secretly slandered, and he could only change his clothes at her urging.
But then again, with an official body and a "Prime Minister's Guard", Li Wenyuan does have some scruples. After all, no one wants to be a bird, with Ruan Van Xin and those warlords in front, the Binh Chuan faction can't turn his face with Wu Dinh Yan so quickly.
This woman is too powerful, on the way to the Queen's Hotel, Wu Lijun sat beside her and didn't dare to speak. Li Weimin's attention was all focused on both sides of the road, for fear that a few assassins would suddenly pop out. When he was about to arrive at the hotel, Chen Lichun suddenly asked, "For the people, how much money does your family have?" ”
Li Weimin was happy, turned around and asked with a smile: "Mrs. Yao, are you going to take care of me to borrow money?" ”
"Who's going to care if you borrow money, it's just curious."
"Why are you curious?"
Li Weimin didn't treat her as an outsider, she didn't treat Li Weimin as an outsider either, and said casually: "The United States has aided 30 million US dollars, and the prime minister wants to spend 6 million yuan to buy Piast from the Bank of East Asia." There are people who have an opinion that you don't have that much. ”
There is no foreign exchange to go to the United States to purchase electricity, water supply and other equipment, which was agreed before, and has long been included in the "industrial village plan", but I did not expect that some people actually objected. However, the opposition was ineffective, and even Ngo Dinh Diem had little autonomy over how to use the first amount of US aid.
"Mrs. Yao, you don't know, in the past time, I smashed pots and sold iron, and I took off all the family businesses that could take off my gloves, and there was no problem in exchanging 6 million US dollars."
"I'm so rich, I'm relieved."
A few months ago, I started exchanging Piastre on the black market, not to mention exchanging 6 million, even if I exchanged 10 million. Li Weimin knew that she was kind, and reminded him that if he didn't hurry up, he said gratefully: "Mrs. Yao, thank you." ”
"No thanks, you're not for yourself, I should thank you."
When a new prime minister takes office, a press conference is normally held.
However, the situation is now very abnormal, most of the government departments are still under the control of the French, the command of the army is in the hands of the chief of the general staff, Nguyen Van Thanh, and the police power in the capital is controlled by the Binh Tram faction, and the only thing the Prime Minister's Office can do is to co-opt all sectors of society and cultivate forces loyal to the Prime Minister and the new government.
There was no activity of any kind at the Jialong Palace, and the Prime Minister's Guard, which had just been formed in the morning, was not allowed to enter, so media reporters could only flock to the Empress Hotel to try to interview the Prime Minister or the Prime Minister's spokesman at a diplomatic reception organized by French officials.
Chen Lichun became the focus of reporters' attention as soon as she got off the bus, and under the flashing spotlight, she said in fluent French: "The French army is incompetent, the morale of the national army is low, the war situation in the north is unfavorable, Premier Yan is in danger, and the state affairs are busy, so I am unable to attend today's cocktail party, so I am hereby entrusted with apologizing to you......"
scolded the French army for being incompetent at the French party, when so many officers of the national army scolded the national army for low morale, aunt and grandmother, how could you do this? Li Weimin was completely convinced, and hurriedly grabbed his fiancée and flashed aside.
Even more depressing than meeting one madman is meeting two madmen.
As soon as I slipped into the hall, I saw Nguyen Van Xin, dressed in a crisp military uniform, holding a wine glass and talking to a group of American, British, Indian, Filipino and Taiwanese diplomats.
On such a diplomatic occasion, he even said with a smile on his eyebrows: "Gentlemen, if I were the head of government, I would certainly be better than Ngo Dinh Diem." If my coup succeeds, I will exile the Ngo Dinh Diem family abroad, leaving only Chen Lichun as my aunt's wife. ”
"What did you say!"
Afraid of something, Chen Lichun held a wine glass in one hand and an ivory fan in the other, Xu Bu walked from the crowd, and she pressed forward step by step. Good men don't fight with women, in order to reflect the gentlemanly demeanor, Ruan Wenxin retreated step by step, until she retreated to the corner.
Seeing that the chief of the general staff was trapped, the atmosphere suddenly fell silent, and the hall was suddenly silent.
At this time, Chen Lichun stared at him with wide eyes, and said sarcastically in a relaxed tone: "You, do you really have the guts?" Do you really want to overthrow the government? Do you think you will live long enough to marry me as your aunt's wife? You don't have the guts, I've already gouged out your throat before your coup d'état succeeds! ”
Too impulsive, too adventurous.
If Nguyen Van Xin was annoyed and angry, and he went back to launch a coup d'état, wouldn't all his previous efforts be in vain?
Li Weimin realized that he couldn't read jokes like others, so he immediately coughed dryly, pulled the little girl forward and said with a smile: "General Xin is really humorous, and Mrs. Yao is really good at joking." Come on, let me introduce, this is my fiancée Lijun, we plan to get married in June next year, and the two of us must appreciate it then. ”
With so many people watching, you can't bully a woman.
Ruan Wenxin got off the donkey, and laughed as if nothing had happened: "Of course you have to attend the wedding for the people, and you must go when the time comes." ”
How could Wu Lijun not know what to do now, she asked generously and politely, and immediately pulled Chen Lichun aside. Ruan Wenxin glanced back at them, leaned into his ear and asked puzzledly, "For the people, why did you get together with her?" ”
The person in front of him is definitely a strange thing, and it is better to tell it bluntly than to hide it.
Li Weimin picked up the cup and said quietly: "General Xin, I didn't get together with her, but with her." Prime Minister Dim Dinh Diem has just appointed me as a member of the Refugee Committee, and after attending this reception, I will go to help resettle the refugees. ”
What kind of official is the official who resettles refugees, Ruan Wenxin was happy, turned his back to everyone and smiled: "But you are Chinese." ”
"That was before."
Li Weimin took out his new passport and lit up in front of his eyes, and said with a smile: "Now I am Vietnamese, to be exact, it should be Vietnamese Chinese." ”
The son of an old friend ran away to the side of the opponent, Ruan Wenxin not only did not get angry, but the more she thought about it, the funnier she became, and she leaned into his ear again and said: "Then be careful yourself, it's best not to go to Jialong Palace, in case I hurt you during the coup, I can't explain to your father." ”
"General Xin, if you really want a coup, what can't you talk about?"
Ruan Wenxin's face was straight, and she said with a serious matter: "There's nothing to talk about, it's all arranged, just wait for me to give the order." ”
