Sunday, November 11, 1635, National Youth Day.

Affected by the war in Ireland, the domestic market has been cautious this year. However, the festival promotions aimed at young people, as well as the gimmicks of the festival itself, still drove a certain amount of consumption enthusiasm among the people of the capital. The 17th-century version of "shopping for money" was not uncommon, and the people involved in these activities were mainly housewives with children.

The Wehrmacht in response to the war in Ireland was still assembled in Manchester City with nothing to do, and the "First Youth Day National Blind Date" gathering naturally kicked off at the compound of the Manchester City Garrison Command.

Some of the young unmarried women who have only emigrated from Europe or the Ming Dynasty this year sat in a tent with blushing faces, and everyone had a small opening in front of them that they could peep out, and in the hands of the women, there was a stack of letter paper, each of which was painted with large black dots in ink. For the vast majority of new immigrants who are still illiterate, the number of black spots is used to correspond to the big soldiers who are about to come to the "interview".

On the radio, Jenny's version of the song "Crazy for Love" came to the radio, and under the influence of the singing, the Chinese Army soldiers holding the same black dotted wooden signs walked to the curtain one by one, or giggling, or shy, or complacent. In short, all kinds of brain-dead and self-righteous self-introductions were introduced, and even more shouted that the blind date organizers would remove the curtain so that they could see the true faces of the girls. The women, on the other hand, watched secretly from the opening of the tent.

As long as you feel that you can see it, you can give the corresponding black dot letter to the blind date organizer on the side, and then someone will arrange the next one-on-one blind date one step closer, which can be regarded as an avant-garde way to have a lifelong speed dating.

The weather has turned sharply cold these days, and Tao Xinmei just happened to get off the ferry at this time, carefully holding a small clay pot wrapped in thick cotton cloth in her arms. This is the chicken soup she specially made for the pregnant Jenny, and she intends to thank this "former rival" who has helped her singing career a lot.

It should be said that the private argument with Jenny some time ago. finally let Tao Xinmei see the image of a woman who really cherishes her lover. Jenny, who opened her mouth and closed her mouth without mentioning her own feelings at all, and thought about her husband for the sake of her husband, made Tao Xinmei see her own gap, maybe it was such Jenny that allowed Cheng Daxiong to focus on himself.

Maybe she figured it out a lot, but Tao Xinmei at this time was even more grateful to Cheng Daxiong and his wife for their persuasion work to her grandfather, and she could still stay on the radio station and do what she liked.

The sign at the corner of the street has been plastered with a poster, which is the promotion of his first solo concert that will be performed on New Year's Day next year. In order to fully package themselves, Cheng Daxiong and his wife also personally delivered the concert tickets to the home of the president's wife, Li Ping. Presumably, with the president's affirmation, his grandfather will never force himself to quit again.

Pass by the courtyard wall of the Manchester South Garrison Command. heard the song "Crazy for Love" again, Jenny's gentle singing voice made Tao Xinmei both envious and sad.

……

"Brother Cheng, at the National Assembly the day before yesterday, you should not have proposed a bill to amend the Audit Law." In a small conference room of Manchester City Radio Station, Liu Yun hugged his arms and shook his head at Cheng Daxiong in front of the window, "Now the relationship between the 'two factions' in China has become a bit blocked, and at this time, it is you, the 'neutral faction', who put it forward, which will inevitably make people think that it is ......."

"Why? Think they have a handle in someone else's hands? Cheng Daxiong interrupted. looked coldly at the Secretary of Homeland Security who came to visit in front of him, and was even more convinced that the other party had identified what he had at hand.

"Brother Cheng, not for anything else, tearing your face. Now there is only harm and no good for the country. Liu Yun sighed, his face was very stern, "The panic of the people has already achieved the goal, this kind of thing can't be dealt with quickly." ”

"So what kind of thing is not bad for the country? 10 years for the State-owned Ocean Shipping Company and the State-owned Ocean Fishing Company. Is it worth eating at least $1 million from the inside by a bunch of people? Cheng Daxiong was suddenly a little angry, and his voice was much higher, "Take 10,000 steps back and speak." Even if it has nothing to do with this country or ordinary people, then who should this money be? Do you have a share? Do I have a share? ”

"Also, no matter which faction it is, and which one of them does not have its own private industry, is there still less people who rely on the business of state-owned groups to eat big households, and how many cats are still hidden here? 5 million? 10 million? Cheng Daxiong didn't laugh angrily, quite self-deprecating, "Looking at the annual national budget review every year, everyone is worried about the country and the people, and how many people have been waiting privately to divide up these financial allocations?" Zhong Lao is right, we have formulated a lot of laws and rules, and we can use procedural justice to satisfy our selfishness, but why not take this path? If we have to do the things we ever hated the most, we would even end up blaming our ass for everything! ”

In the small conference room, Cheng Daxiong's image was very different from the usual, elegant, subtle and reserved was no longer there, and he was almost angry and fired a series of cannons, while Liu Yun watched silently and said nothing.

……

Tao Xinmei's kindness unfortunately did not get a "response", not only did there be few employees on duty at the radio station on the weekend, but Cheng Daxiong, who was supposed to lead the organization of the Youth Day radio program, also left temporarily.

Hearing that Cheng Daxiong was meeting guests in other conference rooms, Tao Xinmei still planned to wait directly in Cheng Daxiong's office after thinking for a while, so that she could personally hand over this small gift representing her remorse and gratitude to Cheng Daxiong.

After the director's secretary, who was a little gossipy, opened the director's office with a mysterious smile, he retreated with interest, and did not plan to watch the "show" that might come next.

Even if there is a special secretary, most of the time, Jenny is personally tidying up the director's office, whether it is the bookshelves or the tables, they are all neat and orderly. Some office supplies with distinctive personal characteristics are habitually placed in places that ordinary people rarely care about, and small details belonging to Cheng Daxiong and Jenny's private lives are displayed everywhere.

Tao Xinmei gently put the chicken soup clay pot that was still warm on the desk, but it turned out that the body of the can was obviously not "stable", as if something was covered under the newspaper. Tao Xinmei curiously opened the layer of newspapers, only to see a slightly crumpled account book underneath.

……

“…… Well, whether in Congress or here, I've said all that's to be said, it's on my desk, and you can do whatever you want. Rest assured, no one has seen it but me...... However, in fact, you should know that after I open it, it doesn't matter who it is. ”

There was no one in the corridor, Liu Yun smoked silently, and Cheng Daxiong gradually regained his calm, and the two stopped in front of the director's office, and the latter opened the door directly.

The door opened, but the two men in front of the door were stunned at the same time. In the office, Tao Xinmei was standing by the desk in a daze, flipping through an account book in her hand, with a blank face. Seeing Cheng Daxiong appear at the door, Tao Xinmei hurriedly put the account book back on the table, then took a few steps back with a red face and lowered her head slightly.

"Since you have a customer, I'll go to the beverage shop across the street and ......sit down first," Liu Yun's pupils shrank suddenly, and then returned to normal after a few seconds, just smiled lightly, and turned away.

Liu Yun's evasive attitude made Cheng Daxiong's heart suddenly swell with a strangeness, and then looked at the girl who was a little cramped and uneasy in the room, Cheng Daxiong suddenly had an urge to hold Liu Yun.

"Mr. Cheng, I boiled some chicken soup for Sister Jenny...... You weren't there before, so I asked Sister Ding to open the door for me......" It seems that the other party seems to care a little about her "uninvited", Tao Xinmei's heart fluttered, and she secretly glanced at the account book she had inadvertently looked at just now.

"Well, I'll pass on your kindness." Slowly took the account book that was not locked in the drawer because he was careless, Cheng Daxiong just nodded slightly, "Don't look at my things in the future, you know?" ”

"I just turned two pages casually......" Tao Xinmei knew that she had made a mistake, and her face suddenly turned red.

……

In the beverage shop, Liu Yun was sitting precariously, and opposite him, Cheng Daxiong was also expressionless, and an account book was quietly placed on the table.

"She's still an ignorant little girl, and she doesn't see anything...... I hope you don't get suspicious. Cheng Daxiong picked up the coffee cup and said casually.

"Hehe, that's the end of it. However, Brother Cheng, to put it bluntly, I personally support your ideas in the Congress, but this kind of thing is not something you can promote alone. Liu Yun took the account book into his arms and finally laughed.

"Didn't you say that it wouldn't be good for anyone if things got bigger? Why are you giving me ideas again? The decision is not in my hands, and I am not in the mood to go around the bend with them, so let's stop here, it has nothing to do with me in the future. Cheng Daxiong drank the last coffee in one gulp, turned around and walked out of the beverage store.

took out a cigarette and lit it, Liu Yun looked at Cheng Daxiong's distant back, thinking about the words of the other party who had suddenly changed his attitude and position just now, and his brows became tighter and tighter.

……

After "sending" Liu Yun away, Cheng Daxiong, who returned to the radio station, locked himself in his office and fell into deep thought. Seeing the wrapped can of chicken soup on the table, and thinking of Liu Yun again, Cheng Daxiong suddenly felt a little unsteady.

"Mr. Cheng, the Prime Minister's Office has sent an urgent press release, hoping that we will broadcast it immediately!" Secretary Ding knocked on the door at this time, walked quickly to the desk with a paper clip, and handed over a newsletter with undried ink.

"Huh? Government press releases? Cheng Daxiong was surprised, slowly took the text, only glanced at it, and frowned, "The Dutch West India Company invaded Brazil and blockaded the port of Recife?!" (To be continued......)
