Chapter 154: The Ball

On the night of May 15, 2015 in the Chinese calendar.

Xie Niancheng, Zhao Ke and Yang Yuwei came to a castle-like mansion in Berlin.

To have such a vast mansion in Berlin, the capital of every inch of land, can imagine the identity and status of the owner.

"Zhao Ke, do you know where this Mandrian came from? When he was in Guangzhou, he was only a major, how could he become a lieutenant general so quickly? ”

Zhao Ke smiled and said: "You really can, you have taken so many things from other people, and you don't even know what other people are about, this Manrian is the son of Prince Eugen...... According to German inheritance laws, Mandrian is eligible to inherit the throne! ”

"That's right." Xie Niancheng nodded with relief.

Xie Niancheng wore the unique military dress of the Fifth Group Army in the center, and Zhao Ke and Yang Yuwei, who wore European-style evening dresses, stood left and right.

This trio is very eye-catching.

Walking to the gate, a waiter in a black tuxedo and a bow tie came to guide him, and after Xie Niancheng showed the invitation, the waiter brought the three of them into the hall.

It lasted almost half an hour, and there weren't many guests in the hall.

The waiter announced in a loud voice: "General Xie Niancheng of the Chinese Federation has arrived." ”

Xie Niancheng and the three walked into the hall and immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Mandryan, who was chatting with a few generals in military uniforms, strode over and gave Xie Niancheng a warm hug.

According to Western custom, Xie Niancheng began to introduce his female companion to Mandrian.

"This is Zhao Ke, the new director of the industrial bureau of our province."

Zhao Ke acted as a simultaneous translator.

"Miss Zhao. It's an honor to meet you again. ”

Zhao Ke and Mandrian have met because of the placement of international students, and Mandrian is naturally deeply impressed by such a beautiful girl.

Zhao Ke stretched out his right hand. Mandrian gave a kiss.

"This is Miss Yang Yuwei, the president of the Bank of China."

Yang Yuwei raised her hand elegantly according to Zhao Ke's appearance just now, and Mandrian was polite, and gave another kiss to the hand.

"Three of you, please."

Mandrian led the three of them to a round table by the wall.

The guests next to them looked at this scene in amazement, a little incomprehensible.

For more than two hundred years, with the weakening of the Han Empire. Orientals in Europe, not very high. Even in Japan, which is now the most developed country in Asia, not many people in Europe look at it squarely.

Today these three Asians. Although his appearance and temperament are very outstanding, he still surprised everyone to get Manrian's friendship.

Soon, Xie Niancheng and the three became the focus of everyone's discussion.

"What are these Orientals coming from?"

"I don't know. Presumably a friend of General Manderian when he was in exile in the Far East. ”

"How could General Mandrian have such a friend?"

Facing everyone's suspicions. A guest who happened to be standing next to Xie Niancheng and the others just now pretended to be mysterious.

"The girl in the white dress is very fluent in German, and I just heard the identities of several of them, which is really unusual."

"Roy, come on, don't sell it, what is the origin of those two beautiful girls...... Is it the princess of the East? ”

Roy said: "That young general should be an old friend of His Excellency Manderian, the girl in the white dress is the director of the industrial bureau of a province of the Chinese Federation, and the girl in the blue dress is the president of the bank!" ”

"No, it won't! The three of them looked to be twenty years old at most. Can you take on such a heavy responsibility? ”

Roy shrugged, "That's what my ears hear anyway. Don't believe it, ask for yourselves. ”

Over there, Mandrian disappeared with Xie Niancheng, leaving only Zhao Ke and Yang Yuwei sitting at the round table.

Yang Yuwei asked, "Where is this Mandrian taking Niancheng to?" Why didn't you even shout to follow? ”

"How do I know, they men are like this, if there is any major matter, they will avoid us women, as if we women are inherently inferior to them."

"Nian Cheng is not like this, I think Nian Cheng is different from other men...... In his heart, we women and men are equal. ”

Zhao Ke nodded, "Yes, Nian Cheng is indeed different from other men. ”

"Miss Yang, how did you meet Nian Cheng?" Zhao Ke asked.

"Me, Nian Cheng and I are classmates at Qingpu Military and Political University, and after getting acquainted with each other, he asked me to help him do things, and we slowly became familiar with each other...... What about you? It seems that you and Nian Cheng are very familiar. ”

Zhao Kewan smiled, "Me? I had not met him yet, and I had a marriage contract with him. ”

Yang Yuwei guessed that the relationship between Xie Niancheng and Zhao Ke must be extraordinary, but having a marriage contract still broke her psychological bottom line.

Yang Yuwei was upset, so she quickly grabbed her wine glass and took two sips, forcing herself to stabilize her emotions.

"What's wrong with you, are you not feeling well?" I don't know why, Zhao Ke has a good impression of the beautiful woman opposite, so he teases her.

Yang Yuwei's silver teeth bit lightly, "You have to be strong!" Yang Yuwei, you have to be strong! ”

The so-called concern is chaos, Yang Yuwei also cares too much about Xie Niancheng and the relationship between Xie Niancheng and Zhao Ke, so she will lose her usual intelligence.

Just imagine, if Xie Niancheng and Zhao Ke have been in love for three lives, will they still bring her to Germany?

Seeing Yang Yuwei's depressed appearance, Zhao Ke was happy, and sighed: "However, his family and my family have already dissolved the marriage contract." ”

"What? Why? ”

Yang Yuwei's heart is very kind, so when she heard the news, her first reaction was not to be happy, but to care about why this happened.

Zhao Ke naturally saw that Yang Yuwei's question was sincere, and his good impression of Yang Yuwei deepened a little, and explained vaguely: "We are set to be a baby parent, and after a few years, everyone has grown up, and the elders on both sides may feel that it is a little inappropriate, so they cancel the marriage contract." ”

"Oh."

With the IQs of Zhao Ke and Yang Yuwei, they naturally know. Now the three of them are caught in a peculiar and awkward relationship. The two of them didn't talk about their feelings, and they talked about other topics, and it didn't take long. The two of them felt like confidants.

Zhao Ke has a lively and smart personality, and Yang Yuwei is gentle and introverted.

Then, both of them are pure-hearted girls, and they are equally erudite and intelligent, and the two of them get along, which is a normal thing.

Tonight's ball was held at Mandelian's house, but it wasn't he who presided over it. It was his father, Prince Eugen.

Seeing Zhao Ke and Yang Yuwei, two beautiful girls, sitting in a corner of the hall, naturally a German gentleman came over to talk.

knew that the second daughter was a distinguished guest of Mandrian, but it was not a disciple who came. Rather, a couple of middle-aged gentlemen.

After obtaining Zhao Ke's consent, the two gentlemen sat down.

One of them was the president of the Deutsche Bundesbank, who came specifically to find Yang Yuwei.

Under Zhao Ke's translation, there were no problems with their communication.

"Miss Yang. My name is Freeman. You are the president of the Deutsche Bundesbank, and I heard that you are the president of the Bank of China? ”

"Yes, Mr. Freeman."

"As far as I know, you have taken out all the gold reserves this time, so how can the currency you issue maintain its credit?"

Freeman was a workaholic, and he was interested in the issue.

Yang Yuwei became the president of the bank, and naturally she also studied finance desperately, especially Xie Niancheng inspired her a lot: "Mr. Freeman." In my opinion, money is ultimately built on credit. At present, the currencies of all countries are based on precious metals. The reason is nothing more than that precious metals can be exchanged globally and have credit. ”

"The yuan we issue circulates only in the areas under our control, and we have artillery and bayonets to maintain the credit of the yuan. As long as we can restrain our greed and refrain from issuing currency indiscriminately, the credit of the renminbi will be maintained. ”

"Compared with the precious metal standard currency, our currency, which is completely supported by national credit, is more flexible in regulating the operation of the economy, right?"

Freeman listened to this somewhat advanced financial theory and fell into deep thought.

Zhao Ke was a little impressed by Yang Yuwei at this time.

Originally, she thought that Yang Yuwei became the president of the bank entirely because of Xie Niancheng's trust, and she played the role of a housekeeper's wife, but now when she saw her talking in front of the president of the German Bundesbank, she realized that Yang Yuwei was indeed a capable woman.

Zhao Ke's competitive spirit was also aroused.

Another German gentleman who came over was also very cooperative, and this gentleman was Hausenbruck, the Minister of Industry of the German Empire.

"Director Zhao, I heard that you are here this time to purchase industrial equipment that is sufficient to build an industrial system. But as far as I know, Sichuan is a completely agricultural province, so to speak, there are no workers, what plan do you have to build a whole industrial system? ”

Zhao Ke said: "Yes, we can't even make a screw at the moment, but we have made a complete plan. We have now completed the exploration and inventory of the geographical, hydrological and human resources of the entire province, planned more than 700 factories and enterprises, and trained millions of farmers who have left their land in production skills, which are expected to be put into operation in the next two years......"

Hausenbrook nodded his head.

The two German gentlemen began to murmur to each other after asking what they wanted to know.

Yang Yuwei didn't understand, Zhao Ke could hear the conversation between the two Germans, after all, she was still young, she couldn't hide too many things in her heart, and a hint of joy appeared on her face.

"Zhao Ke, what did they say? Are you so happy? ”

"Yuwei, they're saying that our plan is completely feasible. The minister of industry said that the German government intended to give us all the waste equipment in their country. The president of the bank said that he could consider providing us with a loan so that we could buy as much industrial equipment as possible! ”

"Really? That's great. Yang Yuwei was also happy.

The ball officially began.

The German gentleman got up and invited Zhao Ke and Yang Yuwei to dance.

Zhao Ke and Yang Yuwei looked at each other and smiled, and got off the dance floor.

"Two mysterious and charming princesses of the East have arrived in Berlin!"

The news spread in Berlin's social circles in a whirlwind. Sadly, after that night, they were never seen in public again. (To be continued......)
