Chapter 43: This revenge is not a woman!
Entering the dining room, not long after sitting down, two girls walked in.
"Second uncle, if you want to invite me and Lisa to dinner, why don't you call your cousin...... Hey? Oblivion! ”
Wang Bo saw that the two girls turned out to be Miss Jie and the foreign girl Lisa.
Li Hongzhang reprimanded: "Jie'er, how do you speak? His name is Wang Bo, and he is a distinguished guest invited by me. I have understood all the things you have done before, they are all misunderstandings, and today we will sit down for a meal together, and the previous things will be over! ”
He turned his head to Wang Bo and said, "Wang Bo, this is my niece, Li Jingjie. This is Lisa, the daughter of the senior class of a German foreign company. You're all young people, so you're going to have to come and go often! ”
Lisa looked at Wang Bo in surprise, her beautiful eyes sparkled, she walked up to Wang Bo, lifted the skirts on both sides of her body with both hands, bowed her head with a smile, performed a curtsy of European court etiquette, and said in stiff Chinese: "Wang, it's a pleasure to meet you!" ”
Wang Bo smiled and said in German: "I am also very happy to meet you, beautiful young lady!" As he spoke, he took Lisa's right hand and kissed her lightly on the back of her hand.
Lisa was even more pleasantly surprised, and said in German, "Do you speak German?" That's great! ”
Wang Bo said: "Yes, I am a businessman, and I used to learn German for a period of time because of some business contacts. ”
Lisa's personality is very cheerful and cheerful, and after a while, she talked and laughed with Wang Bo.
Li Jingjie on the side was unhappy, she didn't know German, she didn't know what these two people were talking about, she just stared at Wang Bo angrily, and suddenly said loudly: "Second uncle, can you eat?" If you don't eat it again, the food will be cold! ”
Wang Bo and Lisa stopped talking suddenly, and both turned their heads to look at Li Jingjie, but saw that she reached out and grabbed Lisa's arm, walked to the other side of Li Hongzhang and sat down, far away from Wang Bo.
Li Hongzhang smiled and said, "Yes." You eat first, I still have something to do, so I won't eat with you. Wang Bo, after I have arranged the matter just discussed, I will send someone to inform you. With that, he turned and left the dining room.
Li Jingjie saw that only she, Lisa, and Wang Bo were left in the dining room, her face suddenly changed, and she said coldly: "Don't think that my second uncle will say a few words casually, the matter between me and you is just settled, I tell you, this matter is not over!" You have insulted me, and this revenge will not be avenged! ”
Wang Bo couldn't cry or laugh, and said, "Miss Li, where did I bully you?" Where did this feud come from? Yes, I was so upset that day at Majiapu Railway Station that I was so offended, and now I officially apologize to you, it's done, right? ”
Li Jingjie said: "I'm not talking about this matter! Be...... It's ......" her little face suddenly turned crimson, and she glared at her eyes with shame and anger, "Anyway, you bullied me!" I'm at odds with you! ”
Wang Bo understood that she was referring to the incident that she stared at her that day, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, just a glance, and besides, it wasn't deliberately rude, it was just a subconscious move when looking at a person, did you need to hold a grudge like this?
Forget it, the eldest lady's temper has always been rude and willful, unreasonable, and the more she cares about it, the more energetic the other party is. As long as she ignores it, she will feel bored after a few days.
Wang Bo looked at Lisa, saw that her eyes were rolling, her little face was flushed, her face was full of joy, and she remembered that when Li Hongzhang introduced it just now, she said that Lisa was the daughter of the German foreign bank, and now the foreign bank operates a lot of trade varieties, daily necessities, hardware, munitions, machinery, etc., if you have a relationship, it will definitely be very convenient to do things in the future.
He ignored Li Jingjie's chatter next to him, chatted with Lisa in German, and had just said a few words. Li Jingjie saw that Wang Bo ignored her, gritted her teeth with hatred, and immediately pulled Lisa away, and said before leaving that Wang Bo was not a good person, and that it was best not to contact him, lest he take advantage of the opportunity.
Wang Bo was quite helpless about this, and Li Jingjie was in the way, and it was difficult for him to get close to Lisa and Lisa, so the two had to make an appointment with the time and place in German that Li Jingjie did not understand, and then talk in detail.
As for Li Hongzhang suddenly introducing his niece to him, the intention is clear as long as you think about it, this is obviously pimping, wanting to tie himself to his chariot by marriage.
To tell the truth, Li Jingjie is indeed very beautiful, but unfortunately she is too young, she is a junior high school girl in the real world, if she is older, maybe Wang Bo will really do what she wants, eat the sugar coating, and return the shells, so that Li Hongzhang will lose his wife and break the army.
After leaving the Li Mansion, Wang Bo immediately plunged into the busyness of opening a factory and running an industry.
With Li Hongzhang's acquiescence, Wang Bo no longer held back and made use of all the resources he could use. Again. He wants to help Li Hongzhang train 6,500 new-style army troops, or let him personally fund it, which is equivalent to paying for other people's military training.
After another month, with the help of the businessmen and shareholders, Wang Bo finally put up his business group shelf, the general direction has been formulated, and all that remains is to instruct his employees to do a good job in the details. I was about to take a breath and rest, but Li Hongzhang sent someone to find him.
Wang Bo's heart moved, it seems that Li Hongzhang has already arranged things, since he got Li Hongzhang's promise that he could let him recruit a battalion of personal soldiers, he has been thinking about this matter in his heart, this can be said to be his own private soldiers! And it is also recognized by the state, and the way is above board!
In troubled times, there must be soldiers and guns, which is the capital.
As soon as he thought of the military power that was about to arrive, Wang Bo's heart was hot, and without saying a word, he immediately rushed to the Li Mansion.
There were already servants from the Li Mansion waiting at the gate, and when they were told that Li Hongzhang was in the study to meet other officials, Wang Bo was taken to the side hall to wait.
After waiting for a long time, someone came to inform me that he could go to see Li Hongzhang.
On the way to the study, I saw Tang Renlian in front of me. The two said a few words and then said goodbye to each other.
As soon as he entered the study, he saw Li Hongzhang sitting behind the desk with a golden sword, wearing an extremely grand official uniform, wearing a flower feather on his head, with a straight face, and his momentum was extremely majestic.
Wang Bo was stunned for a moment, this formation was very serious, this can not be sloppy, his expression was solemn, he stepped forward and saluted, and said, "I have seen Lord Zhongtang." ”
Li Hongzhang nodded slightly, did not say that he would let Wang Bo sit down, but looked at him for a while, and then said, "Wang Bo, do you remember what I discussed with you a month ago?" ”
Wang Bo said: "Remember." Nakado-sama asked me to help train a new army of 6,500 people, which is a big deal, and I always keep it in mind. (To be continued.) )
