A private invitation finally allowed Zhang Jiao to finally see the connections that Lu Wenrui mastered.

And this is not destined to be all, but it has already made him secretly frightened.

After Lu Wenrui introduced everyone, he never talked about business again, and enjoyed the scenery and chatted with everyone in the huge pavilion in the lake that was crystal clear.

During the period, everyone barbecued and ate with a mouthful of oil, not to mention, but also threw dice to finish the game, sang a few songs in turn, and chanted a few poems.

When the interest was at its highest, she even invited Zheng Huier to dance a modern dance, which is really a routine of spring outing and picnic among relatives and friends.

It wasn't until the sun went down and the weather turned cold and most of the people returned happily that Lu Wenrui smiled and invited Zhang Jiao to say, "Brother Zhang, can we go to my study to talk?"

"Absolutely. When Zhang Jiao heard this, he knew that the drama meat was finally here, so he nodded without hesitation and said, "Then I will bother General Lu for dinner again." ”

Following Lu Wenrui's side, he walked up the plank road with a smile and walked towards the main house of Lu Yuan.

On the plank road, the thick structures of the railings on both sides pull out dim shadows in the afterglow of the setting sun.

Before the glass pavilion left, Lu Wenrui, who was greedily eating a fruit platter, inadvertently caught a glimpse of Zhang Jiao's body hidden by the shadow of the railing, and his heart trembled violently, his eyes straightened, and the hairs around his body stood up.

But when Zhang Jiao continued to walk and broke away from the shadow of the railing, her heart suddenly relaxed again.

Subconsciously went to investigate the source of the fear, only to feel that my mind was muddy and I didn't know what to think.

Zheng Hui'er next to her noticed Lu Wenrui's strange appearance, reached out and touched her forehead with concern, and said, "Xinxin, what's wrong with you?"

Is it a cool breeze blowing and you are not feeling well?"

"Ah, it's nothing, Sister Hui'er, I'm fine. Lu Wenrui came back to her senses and said, forgetting the gaffe just now.

"My eyes were straight just now, and it was nothing. Zheng Hui'er blinked her eyes and looked in the direction where Lu Wenrui's eyes were pointing, with a smile on her face: "Ah, it turns out that the little girl has grown up."

It's not going to be like that Councilor Zhang, right?

Also, compared to the virtue of the second elder of the Su family, this young man has awakened a powerful legacy, and he has emerged in both the political and business worlds..."

"It's okay, Sister Hui'er, don't talk nonsense. Lu Wenrui shook her head again and again and interjected: "I also look at my appearance." ”

"It's not about choosing an idol. Celebrities, pay attention to pleasing to the eye," Zheng Huier deliberately teased her when she heard this: "Of course, choosing a boyfriend is more important than ability, talent, and luck." ”

"Then you mean, my brother is not good-looking?" Lu Wenrui retorted sharply.

Zheng Hui'er was speechless by these words, and was stunned for a while before she opened her teeth and claws and said, "Okay, you Lu Wenrui, you are completely a two-faced person."

If you are so well-behaved and introverted in front of others, you can only be sharp with my teeth, see how I punish you. ”

"Aren't you also a double, pretending to be a cold woman in front of other men, let's be half a catty. Lu Wenrui smiled without showing weakness, and got into a mess with Zheng Hui'er.

At this time, Zhang Jiao and Lu Wenrui had already entered the study of Lu Yuan's main house.

Because the layout of the garden is not large, even the area of the room is quite cramped, and there are only two rows of books in the study.

However, they are all rare and precious ancient books, and their content is biased towards military treatises and philosophical aspects.

Sitting down behind the only desk in the room, Lu Wenrui rubbed his fingers and lit a little spark, which bounced onto the wood pile in the fireplace and lit a blazing fire.

"Stay in this quiet study on a cold night, and read by the fireplace to nourish your temperament," Zhang Jiao chuckled when he saw this and said, "General Lu is really a good Yaxing." ”

"Brother Zhang, please take a seat. In the flickering firelight, Lu Wenrui pointed to the high-backed wooden chair opposite and said, "Yaxing, I can't talk about it."

However, I have been busy all day long, and I can finally spare a few days, but I really love to come here to read by candle and night to clear my mind. ”

Zhang Jiao smiled and sat down opposite Lu Wenrui, and did not say anything more.

Lu Wenrui looked at him and said bluntly: "In less than one week, Brother Zhang suddenly obtained the exclusive right to export agricultural and animal husbandry products from the Nanyang Central Government on Rimaru Island.

What's going on?"

"I'm also confused about the real reason. A trace of doubt flashed on Zhang Jiao's face, and then a nostalgic expression appeared on his face, and he replied casually: "How to say it, in fact, I have always had a deep affection for my Nanyang homeland.

In the past, even the goal of struggle was to save as many Nanyang villagers as possible from the sea of suffering after Yiyuan achieved a career.

As a result, I didn't expect that the supernatural catastrophe that had plagued overseas for more than 20 years suddenly moved to the hinterland of Dazhou.

Therefore, after hearing that Nanyang won the battle with the Hishimaru Kingdom this time and destroyed the enemy country in one fell swoop, but the national strength was also greatly damaged, and I was forced to further open up trade, I decided to get involved in the field of maritime trade and help my homeland, which can be regarded as fulfilling one of my wishes.

As a result, I didn't expect to enter this line of work through a friend's relationship and open a new company in Nanyang.

Suddenly, business came to the door, and it was a big business like monopolizing the import of Japanese pills.

Originally, I thought that the other party was 100% fraudulent, but in the end, senior officials from the Foreign Trade Department of the Nanyang Central Government contacted me personally.

They said that the reason for choosing me was that I was one of the most prominent representatives of the young generation of Nanyang immigrants.

In just three or two years, I have broken out of a world in Yiyuan, which can be called a legend, so I must vigorously support my career and inspire people.

But in fact, I am a refugee who escaped from my homeland through smuggling, and no matter how great I have achieved in a foreign country, how can I strengthen the hearts of the people of Nanyang.

Even if there is some encouragement, the effect is not too great, so there must be another reason for this.

And this reason must be kept secret. ”

"Then what do you think is the reason?" Lu Wenrui asked, looking at Zhang Jiao's uncertain face reflected by the firelight.

"That's too much," Zhang Jiao shrugged and said, "Maybe I'm a branch of some big family in Nanyang, and I wasn't important, but now the people in the main vein have died, and they have suddenly become golden."

Or maybe I'm the son of a big family in Nanyang, who lost ground in the political struggle and had to flee overseas.

Now that feng shui is taking turns and gaining momentum again, it will naturally tremble.

Or maybe I was originally a child of a small family, but I had close relatives who rose to a high position in the process of Nanyang Dingge.

Because of my recent relationship with Nanyang registered company, I accidentally discovered my whereabouts, so they helped me. ”

"Brother, you can relate to it. Lu Wenrui shook his head with a smile when he heard this.

"These are just possibilities. Zhang Jiao sighed and said: "If I think about it carefully, if I really have a blood relative and ascend to a high position in Nanyang, why will I keep it secret and not contact me."

Could it be that he or she is actually in an unstable position, and he is afraid that he will suffer disaster for me if he or she steps down in the future.

Or maybe the guy who gave me the opportunity was not my relative, but an enemy with guilt.

In short, there are too many possibilities before the matter is clarified, and the right answer cannot be found at all. ”
