Chapter 437: News
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β
With a long exhalation, Yan Shao glanced back at Elaino.
Don't talk about Lu Ying at this moment, even Elaline, who has always had a strong body because she is diligent in exercising, her face is full of tiredness, and Caterina secretly complained. "Yan, are your Chinese weddings so tiring..."
Yan Shao was speechless about this.
cough, as mentioned earlier, with Yan Shao's current status, it is obvious that no one can let him take the initiative to light cigarettes, not to mention that there seems to be no such a troublesome custom in China at this time.
But there is another headache in China, and that is toasting...
Fortunately, everyone knows that Yan Shao doesn't like to drink, so Yan Shao doesn't have to worry about this problem.
But!
Even if you don't toast people, as a newcomer, you should always express your freehand to the guests, right?
In the West, there may not be such a rule, but in China, it has been in place for many years.
So after the wedding, Yan Shao and Elano had become husband and wife, both in name and in fact, the four of them had to step down from the stage and express their gratitude to the guests at the table in turn.
It was at this time that Yan Shao deeply regretted why he wanted to make such a big banquet hall out, you must know that the entire banquet hall can accommodate more than 10,000 people to hold a banquet or a cocktail party here, Yan Shao's status is extraordinary, and there will definitely be no fewer people to participate.
That's why he didn't walk for a while, Yan Shao already felt tired.
He did both. Ilenor, who was wearing high heels, was naturally more tired than him, but there was no way, he still had to walk.
Thankfully. They don't need to greet one after another, and what's even more fortunate is that whether it's Yan Shao or Elaino, at least ninety percent of the guests who came to bless them this time don't know each other, so they don't have to be hypocritically polite, just nod their heads to express their gratitude.
But even so, Yan Shao and they are still tired...
But in this case. Yan Shao's head came alive instead, and while expressing his gratitude to the guests, he was also able to think of something unrelated to the weddingββββββ referred to as slipping the number...
It's just that there is no shortage of his etiquette at this time. Most of the people sitting in the seats were people who had never been in contact with Yan Shao, or who had rarely had contact with him, so these people who were thanked by him couldn't notice it at all.
And those who can detect it, at this time, habitually follow behind Yan Shao...
So at this time, almost no one in the banquet hall knew about it. At this time, the president was expressing his gratitude to the guests. But I'm thinking about things that have nothing to do with the wedding...
ββββββββββββββββββββ
That is, when Yan Shao and Elaline were very tired to express their gratitude to the guests at a table (here I need to thank the people who designed the tables, each table is designed to be very large, and at least twenty or thirty people can sit at a time, which greatly reduces Yan Shao's workload, but even so, Yan Shao They are still tired and can't lift their waists, after all, they have to deal with more than 10,000 people at a time, which means that they have to thank at least more than 300 tables. Ahem, it's the guests sitting at more than 300 tables. Well, the guests around ... At the entrance of the Presidential Palace, the car where Luo Wenying and Director Mei were sitting also stopped at the entrance.
Because the car belonged to the Special Affairs Bureau, the soldiers of the Guards Regiment at the entrance were very polite.
"Excuse me, do you have an invitation?"
Looking at Luo Wenying and Director Mei who were sitting in the back of the car, an officer asked very politely.
"Nope..."
Hearing Luo Wenying say this, the officer frowned.
But at this time, Luo Wenying said again. "This is my ID, I am in a hurry to see the president this time, please inform me..."
Somewhat strangely took the document from Luo Wenying's hand, and the officer glanced at it, and his face suddenly changed.
The Special Affairs Bureau itself is not actually a 'madness' organization, after all, it is already modern times, and it is almost impossible to operate like Dongchang or Jinyiwei. It is even more impossible to treat suspects and prisoners like these two organizationsββββββ of course, it cannot be said that there are none, but very few, after all, the government also needs to consider the issue of public opinion.
And taking history as a mirror, organizations like Jinyiwei or Dongchang are usually lackeys of high-ranking people. They are usually very useful, and they can also rely on the power of the master to be majestic, but if something happens that day, I am afraid that the first thing the master will do is to take them out to calm the anger of the public.
When the time comes, as Yan Shao's fiancΓ©e, and now Yan Shao's genuine wife, Katerina will not have any problems, at most she will be a housewife and take care of the children wholeheartedly, but the people below are afraid that they will be taken out to blame...
Now is another era of very fast communication of public opinion (compared to a hundred years ago), and anything that happens may spread throughout the country in a short period of time, and the people of the Special Affairs Bureau cannot afford to be careless.
However, we all know the power of propaganda, and it can also be said that rumors.
In addition, the Secret Service Bureau itself is not a harmless organization, but its means are milder than the historical Jinyiwei and Dongxi Factory, so the reputation of the Secret Service Bureau in the outside world can be said to be terrifying...
ββββββββββββββββββββ
Noticing the officer's face, Luo Wenying and Director Mei's faces showed a slight hint of triumph. However, while showing her color, Luo Wenying also had a little worry in her heart.
Without him, if a department offends a lot of people, no matter how powerful he is, I'm afraid nothing good will come of it. What's more, their power is still given by Yan Shao, if one day they bring more trouble to Yan Shao than convenience, then I'm afraid their end will not be particularly good...
On the other side, Luo Wenying's inner activities were not clear, and the officer hurriedly walked to the sentry after confirming the authenticity of the documents. Grabbed the phone and reported the matter...
Outside the banquet hall, Wu Qianqiu was busy arranging everything.
Although Yan Shao had promised to give him a future, he was still Yan Shao's adjutant at the moment. So he still needs to be responsible for many things, such as many things in the presidential palace now.
Basically, as long as he doesn't leave Yan Shao for a day, he needs to be an adjutant for a day.
Fortunately, today's affairs are too busy, and Yan Shao also knows that Lu Dao alone will definitely not be able to be busy, so he has arranged a lot of helpers for him. So Wu Qianqiu was not in a hurry.
But just when Wu Qianqiu was busy there, a person suddenly walked over outside.
"Adjutant Wu. There's a debriefing outside..."
As he spoke, he told him about Luo Wenying.
Knowing that Luo Wenying was here, and it seemed that something big was coming, Wu Qianqiu was also taken aback.
But he also knew it. If it weren't for the big deal, Luo Wenying would definitely not have come over at this time, so he nodded hurriedly. "Let them in..."
"Yes!" The officer replied on the phone, and hung up the phone back. Then he turned around and looked at Luo Wenying and the others in the car. "Deputy Director Luo, you can go over...", he said and waved his hand. The soldiers who had been in front of the car retreated to both sides.
Today is a day of great joy for Yan Shao. Therefore, the defense of the presidential palace is very tight.
By the time they arrived in front of the presidential palace, they had already been searched many times.
But anyway, they finally arrived in front of the presidential palace, and at the same time, perhaps because they had a premonition that something big was going to happen, Wu Qianqiu also stood on the steps in front of the gate and waited for them quietly.
ββββββββββββββββββββ
"Lao Luo, what is it that makes you rush over in such a hurry?"
stepped forward to greet him, and Wu Qianqiu asked a little strangely.
"Urgent..."Luo Wenying shook her head. Very important thing. I have to see the President as soon as possible..."
"That's it..."Wu Qianqiu nodded, then you come with me...
Saying that, Wu Qianqiu turned around. motioned for Luo Wenying and them to follow.
At this time, Luo Wenying and Director Mei of the Communications Office walked into the presidential palace for the first time, so although they still had European things in their hearts, they were still shocked by everything inside.
However, this is just an appetizer, and when Wu Qianqiu motioned to the servant to push open the door, looking at the scene inside, even if Luo Wenying had actually seen a lot of things over the years, he still froze.
Amazing, at least for Luo Wenying, everything in front of her is so amazing...
ββββββββββββββββββββ
As the deputy director of the Secret Service, he can be said to have the right to know most of the things in the Secret Service, but it definitely does not include the design of the presidential palace.
The reason is also very simple, this is prepared by Yan Shao in order to surprise the guests, so it can be said that very few people can walk inside, and even if they do, absolutely no one can be allowed to take pictures.
Later, rumors also spread, and even the banquet hall was simply sealed, and no one was allowed to enter.
Although Luo Wenying is the deputy director of the Special Affairs Bureau, he can be regarded as a high-ranking power, with the power of life and death in his hands, but this is something that Yan Shao expressly prohibits, if he really does it, even if he has more reasons, he doesn't dare to really go inside to take a look, because if he really does it, it will be tantamount to blatantly opposing Yan Shao...
Of course, if it's just like that, it's nothing, the key is that the director of the Secret Service Bureau is Katarina, who is one of the protagonists of this wedding.
This time, Yan Shao will seal the banquet hall in order to give a surprise to the outside world and let everyone remember this wedding. If Luo Wenying really dared to run inside out of curiosity, then it was not just Yan Shao who was right.
It can be said that if it is just Yan Shao, he still has some ways to hide it, then he really has no way to hide it from Katarina, the founder of the Special Affairs Bureau.
As the deputy director of the Special Affairs Bureau, to be honest, Luo Wenying still has some espionage qualifications, otherwise it would be impossible to climb to such a high position. But as the founder, Caterina has also learned a lot over the years, plus her personality can be called ruthless, except for Yan Shao and Elaino, no one can put it in her heart, this ruthless character fully meets the requirements of spy agencies such as the Special Affairs Bureau, and she has Yan Shao's support behind her. It can be said that the entire special bureau is firmly in Katerina's hands.
If Luo Wenying was really bold enough to dare to go inside to take a look, Caterina would know in the blink of an eye.
"The president is over there, let's hurry over..."
Seeing the surprised expression on Luo Wenying's face. Wu Qianqiu felt a little emotional, because when he first came in, his expression was not much different from Luo Wenying's, but he still remembered the big things in Luo Wenying's mouth, so after walking into the banquet hall, he hurriedly pulled Luo Wenying to Yan Shao's side.
At this time, Yan Shao and his wife were still 'going door-to-door' to thank them, and they were a little surprised when they saw Luo Wenying, especially Katarina. She clearly remembered that she had arranged for Luo Wenying to stay at a distance.
How...
"Why are you here?"
Taking two steps forward, Caterina frowned slightly, and the scars on her face were soothed by the happy event. It also began to become hideous again.
Looking at the scar on the left side of Katarina's face, Luo Wenying and that Director Mei felt a slight chill in their hearts.
Others may not know what to do, but they know very well that Caterina is ruthless. Especially in the early days of the establishment of the Special Affairs Bureau, for various reasons. The Special Affairs Division wants to do business. You have to use some frightening methods, and most of these methods are in charge of Caterina, and many times even use real people to teach Luo Wenying and them...
Later, when the Special Affairs Section became a Special Affairs Bureau, and the entire organization gradually became formalized, this kind of thing gradually became less. But some things in the early years are still deeply imprinted in the hearts of old people like Luo Wenying...
Naturally, Yan Shao must not know these things, although his personality is relatively strong. But Caterina is definitely not a stupid woman. She knows very well that men will like some wild women, but they will never like a woman with cruel meansββββββ unless the man himself has a problem...
If Yan Shaozhi explained his methods when dealing with prisoners. Even if you don't say it, I'm afraid that you will be alienated from yourself in your heart, so Katerina has never revealed these things to Yan Shao, and strictly ordered others to never do so.
As for Yan Shao, he is also very aware of this kind of espionage matter, and sometimes the methods are not only dirty, but also cruel, so he is also very smart not to ask too much about the details.
He only needs to know one thing, and that is that Caterina has no reason to harm him, and she will definitely not harm him...
ββββββββββββββββββββ
Seeing the strange appearance of Katerina and Yan Shao, Luo Wenying hurriedly stepped forward to inform a few people about the assassination in Sarajevo and the fact that the Archduke Ferdinand and his wife of the Austro-Hungarian Empire had gone to the western sky.
Of course, because the matter was confidential, this matter was said in a very low voice, so in addition to Yan Shao and his wife, only Wu Qianqiu on the side knew about it.
Upon learning of the assassination in Sarajevo, even the Archduke Ferdinand and his wife in the Austro-Hungarian Empire knelt down, and Wu Qianqiu and the others were taken aback. Although Yan Shao had already known that Lu Dao would be like this, he still pretended to be surprised on his face.
"Austria-Hungary," Yan Shao muttered. It seems that war is already inevitable..."
Speaking of this, Yan Shao turned his head and smiled at Elano and the others. "That's a good thing, at least we don't have to go on table by table..."
Originally, when they heard Yan Shao say that it was a good thing, Elaline and the others still felt a little strange, but when they heard Yan Shao's later words, their mood that had become nervous because of the matter suddenly became a little ......... I can't laugh or cry...
"Okay, let's go over and tell Li Liang and them about the matter first, and there are also Zhu Erdian and them, I believe they still don't know about this matter..."
Saying that, Yan Shao walked quickly in the direction of the chairman, and after Elano and the others glanced at each other, they also hurriedly lifted their skirts and followed.
At this time, above the chairman, the atmosphere between Li Liang and them was very good.
After all, Yan Shao is a big wedding, and it is nothing else, and they have followed Yan Shao for many years and have deep feelings for Yan Shao. Originally, as Yan Shao's subordinates, they were a little worried about Yan Shao's heirs, and some people with more conservative concepts even felt a little uneasy because of this problem.
Now that the problem is half solved, of course, they can't help but be happy ...
As for Zhu Erdian, although Zhu Erdian, Lei? The relationship between Kopa and Marzan and the others is bad, but it is someone else's wedding after all. Zhu Erdian: They may have some other ......... But there is still basic politeness, so they get along well with each other, and they don't bring in the grievances between the two majors.
In fact, this is definitely not something that a full-fledged diplomat would do.
Just like now, Jurdian and Marzan were chatting about topics that they were both interested in, and the smiles on their faces never faded.
It was at this time that Yan Shao and Elano came over.
"Your Excellency..."
"The Great President..."
"Mr. President..."
Seeing Yan Shao and them coming over, a series of salutations hurriedly sounded.
Although he drank a lot of wine, he didn't dare to say that he was the dragon among people who could sit at this table, at least he was a somewhat capable one, even if it was Li Liang or Fu Xiuming, because they had experienced a lot of things, they were far stronger than ordinary people, and they soon saw that Yan Shao's faces were a little wrong.
At the same time as the strange feeling in his heart, the faces of these people were also puzzled, and Bertrand looked at his daughter even more.
At this time, Yan Shao didn't sell it, but spoke very directly.
"I just got the news that Archduke Ferdinand, who was in Sarajevo, had just been assassinated, and both husband and wife were killed..."
Hearing this news, everyone present was taken aback, and the Austro-Constitutional minister stood up directly from his seat. After Zhu Erdian, Marzan and the others glanced at each other, the original harmonious atmosphere disappeared...
And standing behind Yan Shao, Elaline and the others are itching with hatred...
It would be strange if this happened when they were married, and they could be happy! (To be continued......)
