Although the sun was blazing, the northern sea in November was cool, and the cool sea breeze drove the passengers into the cabin, and only a few people stood on the side of the ship, wondering what they were thinking, and there were few people in the bow of the ship, which was against the wind.

Walking out of the cabin, Zhao Liming took out a cigarette from the silver cigarette case and acted as the comprador of the Jardine Matheson & Co., who had gone to Incheon on the orders of the Taipan to discuss the purchase of the aircraft with the Beiyang Company.

Smoking a cigarette, he couldn't help but think of the purpose of his trip, now Shanghai marine businessmen are talking about the Beiyang Company in Incheon, which has purchased as much as 2 million taels of equipment in just a few months, and looking at the momentum, it seems that more equipment will be purchased.

"I hope to make a big deal!"

Muttering in his heart, when the cold wind poured into his collar, he couldn't help but shrink his head, and glanced to the left and right, and he noticed that there was a young man standing in the bow, and the reason why he said that he was a teenager was that from his back, he was too thin, and he was wearing a gray tweed dress that obviously did not fit well, and he wore a fedorale hat on his head, and he seemed to have no braids.

Curious, Zhao Liming walked forward, walked to the bow of the boat, he glanced at the young man beside him, and the moment he saw the young man, he couldn't help but be stunned. For no other reason, there was a young man in front of him, clearly a young woman, and there were even ear stud holes in her earlobes.

This woman in men's clothes seems to be feeling the sea breeze with her eyes closed, and her white and red face looks unusually plump. Even though he was wearing men's clothes that didn't fit. But Zhao Liming, who was still looking at the pretty face, was pounding in his heart. This girl's appearance is different from the woman he was used to seeing in Shanghai, her appearance is very beautiful, and her facial features are as distinct as that of a Western woman, but she does not lose the delicacy of a Chinese woman.

"Ahem!"

Coughing deliberately, Zhao Lixin saw the girl looking at him.

Li Xinyu, who was feeling the northern sea breeze, listened to the cough in his ears, his brows couldn't help but lock, and a little unhappiness suddenly flashed on his white greasy face. He just turned his head to look at the man in the cloth robe and suit standing three or four feet away, and the unhappiness on his face intensified. His eyes turned to the sea again, and he turned a blind eye to the eyes around him.

The girl's reaction made Zhao Liming feel very discouraged suddenly, the fairy-like woman didn't even look at him head-on, but just stared at the sea, as if there was something there that made her care and make her excited.

Zhao Liming has always considered himself an upright man, and he not only has a prominent family background. Proud of the studies of others, the person is even more handsome. It is never an exaggeration to say that both talent and appearance are complete. Although he now has two mustaches, this is not because he is old, on the contrary, he thinks that it is a sign of maturity, which is necessary to be a wise man.

He is the only young man in the comprador family in Shanghai who has received a complete modern British education - from primary school to university, he has studied in Hong Kong and the United Kingdom for more than ten years, and after returning from studying in the United Kingdom, the Shanghai celebrities who proposed to be matchmakers have almost broken the threshold of their Zhao family, and these perfect girls in the eyes of their parents and relatives and friends have all become vulgar fans in the eyes of Zhao Liming, and he has not even looked at them.

Of course, he doesn't want to pursue true love, nor does he want to taste the taste of free love that his ancestors never had, but those so-called famous ladies are indeed Miss Everyone, Miss Everyone. This is not the woman Zhao Liming wants, what is the woman in his heart like?

For him, he was inclined to the British girls he had seen when he was studying in the UK, the girls who had received modern education, but he knew that this was just a dream, and the foreigners in the Shanghai Concession would not accept him marrying an English woman, and his parents would not accept it, but what about finding such a girl in China?

In the past, it was just an unattainable dream, but now, the dream is in front of his eyes - the girl has a book in the pocket of the ill-fitting men's clothes, although only half of it is exposed, but Zhao Lixin still saw the title of the book, it is the English version of "Wuthering Heights", among the ladies in Shanghai, how many people can read the English version of the novel?

Isn't this the person he dreamed of?

Now the person of the dream is standing opposite her, although she has not said a word to herself, and she has not even given herself a serious look, but these are no longer important, Zhao Liming, who is twenty-six years old, has never felt that the journey is so comfortable and pleasant, although there are some regrets, but to be able to look at the person in the dream so quietly, it is also a very wonderful thing.

But the girl obviously couldn't understand Zhao Liming's thoughts, feeling the sight beside her, Li Xinyu's eyebrows frowned, and she was no longer interested in enjoying the sea view, so she turned around and returned to the cabin, although she grew up in Surabaya, she is no stranger to the sea, but she is extremely curious about winter, because of this, she will stand on the bow of the boat against the cold wind, but she never thought that there was an uninteresting person, who disturbed her interest there.

"I wonder what Brother Eleven will do if he finds out?"

In the second-class restaurant, Li Xinyu, who was eating lunch, thought of her brother in Incheon, for her who ran away from home, perhaps the eleventh brother, who had been extremely close since childhood, was the only object she could go to.

But as she got closer and closer to Incheon, she couldn't help but worry, if Brother Eleventh told her family the news of her in Incheon, wouldn't it be ......

Thinking of this, her heart became more and more uncertain, and the sadness on her brow became thicker and thicker.

"What was she thinking? Did you run into something that bothered you? ”

Looking at the girl in men's clothes across the two dining tables, Zhao Liming thought in his heart that as long as he was a square Chinese, he should not look at strange girls like this, but he couldn't control the thoughts in his heart, and at this moment, he felt that the other party seemed to sense that someone was looking at her, and his eyes looked towards him.

Zhao Liming, who woke up suddenly, immediately realized the severity of the problem, and secretly glanced at the woman opposite like a thief, fortunately, she didn't pay attention to her rude behavior.

But I don't know why Zhao Liming's heart is lost again, is she really so worthless in her heart?

This is the last lunch on the ship, in a few hours, the ship will dock, when the time comes, maybe you will never see this girl again, thinking that the girl doesn't even want to look at herself, Zhao Liming, who is not without loss, turned his eyes to the girl again, but at this time the girl has left the restaurant.

"Toot ......"

With a whistle, the steamer slowly approached the Incheon Chinese Concession Commercial Port, saying that it was the Chinese Concession Commercial Port, but in fact it was only more than 100 meters away from the Japanese Concession Commercial Port.

A small rattan suitcase, this is all Li Xinyu, wearing a gray fedora on her head, she is very conspicuous among the sparse passengers, she did not get off the gangway from the gangway, but chose the stern, when she got off the ship, she noticed that not far away on the Chinese merchant wharf, there seemed to be a team of soldiers, the team of soldiers wearing Western-style military uniforms, in front of the soldiers, a young man stood there, just quietly looking at the ship, as if to greet someone.

Just glanced over there, Li Xinyu turned her eyes to the Japanese concession in front of her, Incheon to be precise, and looked at this not a prosperous city with curious eyes, she couldn't imagine why Brother Eleven would say in the letter, "There are opportunities everywhere here."

Opportunity?

What kind of opportunities?

Thinking of the opportunity in the eyes of those brothers in the family, she couldn't help but sigh, for them, there is nothing more important than the opportunity to make money, if the business fails, maybe, no longer be able to get news of them.

"Will there be a chance for me here?"

The moment he got off the boat with his suitcase, Li Xinyu looked around at this strange city, and suddenly made a decision - no, look for Brother Eleven! When the passengers from the commercial concession left the wharf one after another, on the wharf here, the passengers who got on the ship from Tianjin had just disembarked, and after a group of individual passengers disembarked, Tang Shaoyi and his party walked off the ship.

"Shaochuan, it's been hard all the way!"

Before Tang Shaoyi got off the boat, Tang Haoran had already walked over and stretched out his right hand at the same time.

"My lord, how dare the lower officials greet the ...... in person?"

In the face of Tang Haoran's enthusiasm, Tang Shaoyi was sincerely afraid, especially the outstretched right hand, which made him feel equal at the same time, but he couldn't help but be nervous in his heart, the reason why he was nervous was because of the difference in the identities of the two, and more importantly, this was in China, not the West.

"Shaochuan!"

Holding Tang Shaoyi's hand and looking at the other party's sincere and frightened appearance, Tang Haoran said with a smile.

"You have made a great contribution to the Unified Supervision Mansion, how can I not welcome it in person!"

It's not so much a big achievement, it's not that the temptation of Li Hongzhang was successful, Tang Haoran, who never dared to underestimate everyone in this era, has been taking risks since coming to North Korea, relying on the method of taking advantage of the situation to "take advantage of everything", this time is naturally no exception, Zhang Zhidong has the old feelings, and it is still easy to do, but Li Hongzhang's side is difficult to do, and he doesn't know his own idea?

"My lord, Lord Zhongtang asked me to bring you a message!"

Tang Shaoyi, who didn't dare to take credit, hurriedly whispered when shaking hands.

"Oh......" still have words?

"Don't take it as an example!"

Tang Haoran said, first stunned, and then smiled, but this laughter was extremely enjoyable, he won the bet, Li Hongzhang really deserved to be Li Hongzhang.

"Okay, good, I got ......"

In response, Tang Haoran turned his gaze to Zheng Yonglin, a student who had the name of teacher and student with him.

"Yonglin, you and I haven't seen each other for a while!"
