In the British Concession in Shanghai, the staff of Jardine Matheson were busy, and some managers even tore their collars and rolled up their sleeves, ignoring the gentlemanly demeanor of the past...

It's no wonder, after all, it's a big business worth more than 10 million, and this kind of business may not be encountered once in ten years. And if they mess up, I'm afraid they'll all have to go home and eat themselves.

"Let's go, let's go!" In the midst of the busyness of the company building, a young clerk with a telegram in his hand hurried towards the stairs, shouting loudly.

"Hey, you guy is looking at the road." A staff member who had been nearly knocked over complained loudly, still holding a stack of papers in his hand.

However, the young clerk with the telegram simply said sorry and left.

"Really..."Although I wanted to beat up the young clerk, but thinking about the work at hand, the clerk could only complain and leave.

Ascending the stairs on the second floor, the young clerk certainly didn't know the complaint of the clerk behind him who had almost been knocked down, but even if he did, he probably wouldn't care, because he had a telegram in his hand that was more important than the clerk's complaint.

In the office, Charlie was tidying up his clothes, and in a few moments he was going to the Consulate General to visit the consul in Shanghai, hoping that the consul could come forward to contact the British Navy and ask the Navy to send a few gunboats to escort the transport ships carrying munitions and equipment.

Although few people dare to challenge the British Empire in the Yangtze River and even in the entire coastal waters of China, what happened on the Yangtze River 3 years ago still makes Charlie remember it vividly, after all, it was that incident that made him and Yan Guang know each other. Although the entire Yangtze River was wiped out by the British Navy and the Manchu government axe after that incident, in the past two years, due to the relaxation, many bandits have resumed their activities.

Although Charlie believes that the guards on the transport fleet are enough to ensure the safety of the supplies, and he does not believe that anyone will dare to attack the British freighter in 3 years, but people die for money, birds die for food, and the transport fleet is carrying materials worth tens of millions of silver dollars, in case someone really dares to do it...

If someone really touched the supplies on the transport ship, then even if Jardine Matheson was the largest British foreign company in China, I am afraid that it would be bankrupt...

So be careful, Charlie had to come forward to ask for a consul, but as the manager of Jardine Matheson, Charlie thought that he still had a lot of face in Shanghai...

However, just as Charlie pulled his tie and was about to go out, there was a sudden knock on the door outside the office. "Manager Charlie, I'm John from the telecommunications office, and I have a telegram from Sichuan just sent here..."

"Sichuan?" Charlie, who was about to go out, paused for a moment, but because he had just sent a telegram to Sichuan some time ago, Charlie thought it was a reply from that telegram. "You come in first." After speaking, he threw aside the civilization stick in his hand, and then sat back in his seat.

As soon as Charlie returned to his seat, the young clerk walked in with a telegram. "Manager, a telegram from Sichuan."

Charlie didn't notice the look on the young clerk's face when he took the telegram, and just took it for an ordinary reply telegram, but when he opened it and read it cursoryly, his whole face turned red.

"This..."

"New big deal, manager!" There was no need for Charlie to say more, the young clerk had already spoken it for him.

The telegram clearly stated that it was hoped that Charlie could go to Chengdu with the convoy transporting ordnance and equipment, because Yan Guang still had a very big deal to talk to him about, and of course, he would be accompanied by Rite and the foreign company Riddle.

"Looks like another big deal," Charlie said with a wry smile looking at the telegram.

"Manager, why don't you look happy, this is a rare big deal." Looking at the wry smile on Charlie's face, John was a little puzzled. You must know that the business they are preparing now is worth more than 10 million silver dollars, and even if this new business cannot reach 10 million, there will always be millions. Such a large amount of business, to say that Jardine Matheson may not be able to have one in a year, and now it is only the beginning of the year that there has been an order, why is the manager still sighing?

Looking at John, who didn't understand at all, Charlie smiled bitterly. "I'm not worried about the big business, I'm just worried that we can't get this strictly needed thing..."

Just when Charlie was still smiling bitterly at Yan Guang's big business, Yue Chang was shopping in a shop near Guangqing Road.

However, just when Yue Chang bought 3 catties of beef from a butcher and was about to take it home to let his wife cook it well, a faint cry for help suddenly came from an alley not far away.

“？” Although he still had 3 catties of beef in his hand, Yue Chang still ran into the alley to see what was going on, after all, as a senior officer, he still had his own sense of responsibility. However, as soon as he ran into the alley, Yue Chang encountered a very cliché, very cliché and still very cliché scene, that is, in the alley, there were a few green-skinned hooligan-looking guys surrounding a girl dressed as a student.

With a lewd smile on his face, he didn't look like a good person, a green-skinned hooligan who shrank in the corner, a girl like a white rabbit, and she didn't need to understand the situation at all, as long as she was a normal person, she could know what was going on inside.

"Stop what you're doing!" Yue Chang stood up as a messenger of justice very clichédly, and after seeing Yue Chang's senior officer uniform and of course the pistol on his waist, those green-skinned hooligans also ran away in a clichéd manner...

"Really..."After complaining, Yue Chang put the beef on the ground, but just when he wanted to step forward to help the girl who fell to the ground, he met the eyes of the girl who raised her head...

"Miss, may I ask who you are..."Looking at the girl's delicate face that was obviously different from ordinary women, Yue Chang, who was almost 21 years old but still hadn't started a family, blushed a little, and wanted to help the girl up as he spoke.

However, looking at Yue Changse's fascinated appearance, perhaps he felt that the young officer in front of him was more dangerous than the few hooligans just now, so the girl stood up and wanted to run away, but she twisted her foot very cliché just after she ran a step...

"Ahh

"Be careful." Seeing that the girl was about to fall, Yue Chang hurriedly stepped forward and hugged the girl.

Feeling the weak touch coming from his body, looking at the girl with a red face in his arms, and the fragrance of the girl that permeated his body, I don't know why, Yue Chang suddenly felt that he was drunk...
