In April, at the 16-ppu wharf in Shanghai, the Commander-in-Chief of the National Revolutionary Army, Chiang Chung-zheng, together with his generals and elites from all walks of life in Shanghai, gathered at the pier to welcome Wang Zhaoming, chairman of the Kuomintang, who had returned from Europe.

Compared with when Sun Wen passed away two years ago, Wang Zhaoming's pattern is much grander, he has the demeanor of a leader in his gestures, he is kind to everyone, and he shows a gentle and elegant demeanor when he talks and laughs.

Chiang Kai-shek raised his wine glass and said to the guests: "Today, on the good day of President Wang's return to China, my brother announced two private matters to you. ”

Everyone whispered, but Wang Zhaoming was still smiling, as if he was interested in listening to Chiang Kai-shek's private affairs.

"The first thing is that the brother was baptized and converted to Christianity."

There was another round of exchange of ears, and the foreign guests present applauded.

Chiang Kai-shek looked around, and finally landed on Song Meiling, his eyes were unexpectedly gentle, and Song Meiling's face was shy, which suddenly made Chen Zikun's heart lift.

"The second thing, thanks to Miss Song Meiling's favor, she is willing to marry her brother, and the wedding is tentatively scheduled for the end of the year, and you are invited to come at that time." Chiang Kai-shek was in good spirits and could not hide his excitement.

Warm applause rang out, everyone blessed this couple, Chen Zikun was also smiling, and when he shook hands with Chiang Kai-shek to congratulate, he noticed that Song Qingling's eyebrows were lowered, calm as water, and he didn't seem to be very happy.

Wang Zhaoming was not very happy, but he cleverly covered it up, Chiang Kai-shek suddenly released the news of his engagement, and the limelight overshadowed him, and no one would be happy.

After the banquet was a ball, the suave Wang Zhaoming took the initiative to invite Song Meiling to dance, and the two danced on the dance floor, with a talented and beautiful woman, and compared with the bald and bearded commander-in-chief Jiang in a sword suit, it seems that Chairman Wang and Miss Song are more husband and wife.

Wang Zhaoming successfully regained everyone's attention to him, and once again became the focus of attention, in front of the two leaders of the national government, the civil and military leaders, everyone's demeanor was covered, and the former man of the year Chen Zikun also had to sit in the corner in a low-key manner, sipping a glass of red wine alone.

"The red wine used in the Majestic Hotel today seems to be slightly sour." A familiar voice came from his ears, and a dark fragrance came to his face, it was Tang Yan, a female reporter who declared.

"Reporter Tang, I haven't seen you for a long time." Chan raised his glass in salute.

"**Long, I haven't seen you for many days, your beard is very large." Taking advantage of the darkness, Tang Yan boldly reached out and stroked Chen Zikun's beard.

"This commander has sworn that if the country is not united, he will not shave." Chan said.

Tang Yan smiled eating, a foot in high heels stretched out between Chen Zikun's legs, and the wine glass touched him: "Beggar silk." ”

The two drank a glass of wine, and Tang Yan raised her white lotus-like arm: "Witt, whiskey." ”

Ten minutes, there were already eighteen empty cups in front of the two, Tang Yan stood up, giggled and stretched out his hand to Chen Zikun: "Dance?" ”

Just as the waltz ended, Chen Zikun walked onto the dance floor with Tang Yan and said loudly: "Band, tango!" ”

The music with a very rhythmic sense sounded, the two of them were drunk, and a chic head shake suddenly won the applause of the audience, Chen Zikun's long hair fluttering, Tang Yan was young and beautiful, and a pair of long beautiful legs under the skirt attracted a large number of eyeballs.

At the end of the dance, everyone dispersed, Tang Yan's eyes were confused, she held Chen Zikun's arm tightly, and exhaled like a land: "I'm drunk, send me home." ”

"Okay." Chen Zikun hesitated for a moment but agreed, thinking that he had no eye contact with Song Meiling all night, his heart was still gloomy, and when he walked to the car, he still couldn't help but look back at the hotel.

He didn't know that there was also a pair of eyes looking at him in the dim light.

Tang Yan's family lives in a Shikumen house in the public concession, Chen Zikun drove her to the door, the female reporter's alcohol strength has come up, stumbling to the door, the maid came to open the door, she looked back at Chen Zikun, stretched out her right hand: "Thank you, goodbye." ”

Chan Zikun saluted: "It is my honor to serve the lady. ”

Tang Yan chuckled for a while, entered the door, and slammed the door shut.

Chen Zikun turned around and was about to get into the car, when suddenly the door opened again, and Tang Yan leaned against the door with silky eyes: "Commander, do you want to come in and have a cup of coffee." ”

"It's too late......" Chen Zikun deliberately looked at his watch and peeked at Tang Yan, and the female reporter seemed disappointed.

"Just have a drink." Chen Zikun said with a smile.

Tang Yan also smiled: "Please." ”

The two entered the door and entered the room, Tang Yan called the maid to make coffee, and said to Chen Zikun: "Do you want to visit my study?" ”

Chen Zikun happily agreed, walked into Tang Yan's study, the floor was covered with a thick carpet, the curtains were closed, the floor lamp was dim, and a row of bookshelves were full of various books.

After a heart-wrenching kiss, the two rolled on the carpet......

In the kitchen, the coffee on the gas stove was already bubbling.

On the road outside the gate, Commander Chen's special car was parked quietly, and the guards were still loyal to their duties, standing next to the Shikumen.

Late at night, in the study, high heels, skirts, tops and pants were scattered on the carpet, and the two ** bodies were entangled and sleeping together.

In the next few days, Tang Yan always went in and out with Chen Zikun, as if she was the temporary wife of the first long, the female reporter had a lively and easy-going personality, smoking and drinking, and the adjutant Ma Ben guards liked to deal with her, and Commander Chen's heirs were not prosperous, and the two ladies had only given birth to one daughter so far, and everyone expected him to have a few more concubines and a few more young marshals.

After the meeting between Chiang Kai-shek and Wang Zhaoming, Chairman Wang and the leader Chen Duxiu jointly issued a letter to the Kuomintang, urging them to immediately abandon mutual suspicion and conduct open and honest consultations on everything. As soon as the news came out, the tense atmosphere in Shanghai was greatly eased, and it was rumored that the workers' pickets were preparing to forcibly enter the concession and organize the Shanghai Municipal Government on their own.

The war on the northern front was quite smooth, Zhang Zuolin's An ** was pressed to the front line of northern Jiangsu, the momentum was greatly weakened, and the dawn of China's reunification seemed to have appeared.

Since the May Revolution, Chen Zikun's relationship with Western countries has become tense, the planes ordered from the United States have not arrived, and the business of Chuntian & Co. has also come to a standstill, and he can't even afford to rent an office, after Chen Zikun and Chiang Kai-shek reached an agreement, one million yuan was successfully received, and there will be the same amount of money every month in the future, which suddenly makes him feel rich.

Mu Yichen lives in a rented Shikumen house near the Bund, and there are three foreign bank employees living with him, all of whom are informal, the room smells stinky, clothes and socks are thrown everywhere, ashtrays are full, and books and documents are thrown everywhere.

Chen Dashuai's visit made the staff very nervous, busy packing up their things, Chen Zikun kindly asked them not to be busy, saying that housework is not a man's job, and he asked Manager Mu to hire a maid.

Mu Yichen said with a sad face: "The salary is almost unbearable, how can you have the money to hire people." ”

Chen Zikun took out a check and handed it over like a trick: "This may be able to solve the urgent need." ”

Mu Yichen took a look, and his eyes lit up: "500,000!" ”

Chen Zikun said with a smile: "Take it, rent a decent office first, do business, see that the country is about to be reunified, we have to take precautions, ready to start, steel plants, chemical plants, yarn factories, railways, all have to be built." ”

Mu Yichen looked at the check from Zhejiang Industrial Bank over and over again, and said with emotion: "Chiang Kai-shek's financing ability is unparalleled in the whole of China." ”

Chen Zikun said curiously: "How do you know that this is Jiang Zhongzheng's money." ”

Mu Yichen said: "Have you forgotten, in addition to importing and exporting, I also do financial business, the relationship between Commander-in-Chief Jiang and the Jiangsu and Zhejiang chaebols is very good, Jiangsu and Zhejiang have been ruled by the northern warlords over the years, and they are miserable, and now they have a fellow in Fenghua, Zhejiang, who has come to the fore, naturally they have to be strongly supported, Zhang Jiaxuan of the Bank of China, Chen Huide of the Shanghai Commercial and Savings Bank, Qian Yongming of the Four Banks Joint Reserve, and Li Ming of the Zhejiang Industrial Bank, all helped him, do you know how much money Chiang Kai-shek made during this time? ”

"Can't guess." Chan shook his head.

"Borrowing, issuing treasury bills, public bonds, etc., a total of 130 million yuan!" Mu Yichen specially accentuated his tone on 100 million words.

Chen Zikun gasped and actually raised hundreds of millions of funds! No wonder Chiang Kai-shek was so arrogant, he didn't take the Wuhan government with the support of Soviet Russia in his eyes at all, and in these years, the war was all about money, guns and bullets cost money, military salaries and food cost money, and it cost money to pacify the localities and invite people to buy people's hearts.

Mu Yichen sighed: "Chiang Kai-shek was born in stock speculation, and he knows a lot about financial things, plus he can be a man, and foreigners make him obedient, this time he married the Song family, and he can get the financial support and political reputation of Kong Xiangxi and Song Ziwen, looking at China, no one can compete with it." ”

Chen Zikun was silent, he could only sigh to himself, it seems that Hu Banxian is right, with his own qualifications, being a general is already the ultimate, and it is difficult to go further.

Mu Yichen chuckled: "I didn't expect to be in business for so many years, I am still a political animal in my bones, senior, what are you going to do next?" Do you adopt a strategy of sticking to Jiang's someone? ”

Without waiting for Chen Zikun to answer, he said to himself: "At present, it seems that this is the wisest choice, and China cannot afford to toss." ”

As he was talking, the door was pushed open, and a woman walked in, immediately covered her nose and frowned, "It stinks!" "It's the school girl Che Qiuling who I haven't seen for a long time.

"When are you going to get married?" Chan immediately shifted the topic.

Che Qiuling said generously: "My father has actually acquiesced, but for the sake of face, he is still holding on, I think if there is a strong person as a matchmaker, my father will be soft." ”

Chen Zikun said: "I'm afraid my face will not work, I don't know if Commander-in-Chief Jiang will come forward or not." ”

Suddenly, Shuangxi stepped upstairs and said in a loud voice: "Report to the commander, Commander-in-Chief Jiang has informed you that there is urgent military affairs to discuss with you." ”
