Hong Zhiyou went straight to Yu Zecheng's office.
Yu Zecheng was tearing up a newspaper.
Obviously, the stationmaster was very troubled and annoyed by his urging his wife to come to Tianjin.
"Director Yu!" Hong Zhiyou greeted.
"Zhiyou, I heard that Mrs. Ma has arrived?" Yu Zecheng put down the newspaper and stood up to pour him tea.
“Arrived last night.
"You and Section Chief Xue's wife are the only ones who haven't arrived at the station yet." Hong Zhiyou sat down and started chatting.
He was happy to interact with Yu Zecheng.
One is the heroic plot.
Also, there is a kind of magic in Lao Yu.
calm.
It is a very comfortable thing to be with him and not be his enemy.
"Hey, my mountain woman is not used to coming to the city, so why do we have to do this?" Yu Zecheng stroked his head in distress.
"Director Yu, isn't this the internal rule?
"When it came to the matter between Fu Shenglan and Ding Meizhen, the chairman had issued a death order, but as a result, Boss Dai lost his skills and lost all face in front of the higher-ups, which made them extremely angry.
"He won't feel at ease unless his superiors keep an eye on his wives."
Hong Zhiyou lowered his voice and said with a hint of sarcasm.
"Brother, my wife can't read a single word, so she can't be Ding Meizhen.
"You are still the best brother, you have nothing to worry about."
Yu Zecheng was really envious, he only had Zuo Lan in his heart.
"Hey, I'm poor. I can just do it for fun, but which girl can really marry me?"
Hong Zhiyou took out his dry trouser pocket and smiled bitterly.
“You’re not being honest.
"I went to the municipal government to do some business yesterday, and heard from the people there that you, my brother, are very famous now and even have a nickname." Yu Zecheng pointed at him and said with a smile.
"What nickname?" Hong Zhi was curious.
“Tsinkai Cannon…King!
"You are a very romantic brother."
Yu Zecheng patted him on the shoulder and laughed out loud.
Jinhai Cannon...King?
puff!
Hong Zhi spat out a mouthful of tea.
Only a few of them became kings.
Who came up with this name? You think you are too proud of it.
"Director Yu, I tell you the truth, I played cards with those ladies and had fun, and they were..." He pointed to the stationmaster's office.
Anyway, they will be the two generals “Heng and Ha” in the future.
It would be better to sell myself earlier, let Lao Yu "use" myself, and help him out.
What's more, he is too serious. If he turns around to resell equipment and medicines, Old Yu will definitely suspect him.
Playboy, greedy villain, webmaster's lackey, unscrupulous trader.
These labels serve as a protective shield for Hong Zhiyou, and also allow Lao Yu to relax his vigilance and regard him as a "fellow fortune-maker."
"What do you mean? I don't understand." Yu Zecheng pretended not to understand.
"Why did Director Lu chase me so early in the morning? Because I gave the position of chairman of the grain store and Liuwei Road Grain Market to Kang Zuowen." Hong Zhiyou whispered.
"You are so brave, brother. He is a big traitor. How can you grant him such important property of the Party and the country?" Yu Zecheng pretended to be panicked and scolded righteously.
"Whether it's treacherous or not, isn't it just a matter of a word from the stationmaster?
"It's okay to tell you. The Kang family presented a pair of treasures from the Yongzheng period, obtained from Lu Qinzhai, which are worth several houses in the racecourse.
"How about this, can the stationmaster give me a car so I can hang out with women every day?"
Hong Zhiyou rubbed his fingertips and laughed dryly with a squint.
"Hey, it's good to be young. I can't do your job, brother."
Yu Zecheng nodded meaningfully.
“Director Yu, I heard that you were a student taught by the stationmaster himself.
"From now on, we are family. I treat you as my brother, so you have to take good care of me."
Hong Zhiyou said flatteringly.
“No, you are a popular webmaster, please take care of each other, and…” Yu Zecheng smiled modestly.
"no the same.
“You were raised by your biological father, and I was picked up on the street.
"Without this blood relationship, nothing will work."
"No need to chat anymore. The stationmaster wants you to go to the office to do errands. I'm going back now."
Hong Zhiyou patted Lao Yu and walked out quickly.
"Take care, Secretary Hong."
Yu Zecheng watched him leave and began to feel suspicious.
Secretary Hong took the initiative to reveal it.
Is this an attempt to get close to someone, or is this just stupid?
As a top student in the "China-US Class", and with the confidentiality regulations in the station, I shouldn't be unable to control my mouth.
Could it be that the webmaster intended for me to get close to him?
Well, this person is not simple, we have to be careful and cautious.
...During the day, he "followed the order" to go to the military families' meeting to play cards with the wives, and brought Zhou Gendi along.
When the wives heard that she was Captain Ma's wife, they all became very discerning and Zhou Gendi won a lot of money.
This made the "little woman" who came to Shanghai feel very happy.
When she came back in the afternoon, she sang "A Beautiful Moon and a Full Blooming Flower" to him in the car with her fingers pinched like a bird. The soft and tender voice made Hong Zhi feel itchy in his heart, and he almost couldn't hold back his anger and hit her.
However, Hong Zhiyou is not someone who will suffer losses.
While getting out of the car, he pinched her butt.
Zhou Gendi blushed, but she wasn't angry with him. She just gave him a charming look.
This gave Hong Zhi a great sense of hope.
It seems that in a few days, I can keep an eye on Ma Kui's points.
In the evening, Hong Zhiyou put on his newly bought suit, returned to the office, picked up the landline and dialed a number:
"Hello, Mrs. Kang, has Miss Mu arrived?"
……
"Okay, I'll be there soon."
After hanging up the phone, Hong Zhiyou made another full cup of deer antler powder.
Alas, youth has nowhere to go.
Wives group!
Zhou Gendi!
Wanqiu!
……
He simply loved this enchanting and passionate era.
After packing up, Hong Zhiyou drove to the French Club.
These foreign clubs in Jinhai each have their own characteristics.
This one is a bit smaller, but it has authentic dishes and wine, good service, and is convenient because it is close to the municipal building.
Today is the day when the last few lucrative positions will be implemented.
Hong Zhiyou came to the hall.
The place was packed with people, and with elegant piano music playing, business and political celebrities were toasting each other with their wine glasses in hand, making the place very lively.
While Hong Zhiyou was greeting people, his eyes fell on the piano stand with admiration.
The one playing the piano was Wanqiu.
She was wearing a white long dress, revealing her snow-white neck and shoulders. Under the reflection of the light, her skin was as smooth and crystal-clear as jade.
At this moment, Wanqiu's slender fingers were dancing on the piano.
Sometimes I close my eyes and feel sad.
Sometimes she smiles pleasantly.
It seemed as if the whole room was filled with smoke and only the music remained.
She is really beautiful.
The slightly curly hair was pinned with a sparkling crescent-shaped hairpin.
Not only does she have the intellectual beauty of a rich lady of this era.
The facial features on her oval face are also extremely exquisite, with clear eyes under long and thick eyelashes, a delicate nose, cherry red lips, and snow-white, healthy and elastic skin.
She looks like a porcelain doll angel from a comic book.
"Little goblin!
"Master Hong, have you seen enough?"
Just as he was watching in a trance, Mrs. Kang Fang Min came quietly to his side and pinched him hard on the waist.
"I haven't seen enough." Hong Zhiyou smiled.
The two men made eye contact and walked to a deserted corner of the corridor.
"It's just playing the piano. What's so great about that? I can do that, too." Fang Min hugged him and acted jealously and coquettishly.
"You play the flute better than her, but forget about the piano." Hong Zhiyou winked and grinned.
"Hate you, you're such a playboy. You said the other day that you like ripe ones like me." Fang Min flirted in a whisper.
Hong Zhiyou hugged her and said with a smile: "After eating too much meat, you should eat some vegetarian food occasionally.
"Is it settled?"
“It’s done. Li Mingchen prepared a pair of valuable Ming Dynasty blue and white porcelain vases and five gold bars to contract the textile factory.
"The boss also offered 5,000 US dollars, plus a box of opium, for the right to open Huiguang Bank.
"..."
Fang Min said one by one.
The textile factory that Li Mingchen wanted had ready-made machinery and manpower left over from the Japanese invaders, so it was not surprising that he offered a high price.
Qian Tongzhi only has the right to start a business.
To be able to offer such a high price for just a signature shows how strong their financial resources are.
"Where did Qian Tongzhi get so many US dollars?" Hong Zhiyou was quite curious.
"Mr. Qian's son is a military attaché at the San Francisco Embassy and can get U.S. dollars. Huiguang Bank specializes in exchanging U.S. dollars.
“They secretly only accept gold bars, jewellery, accessories and antiques, and of course assets can be used as collateral. In fact, it is a pawnshop in the guise of a bank.
"Then we transfer these to North America and make a lot of U.S. dollars.
"I heard from Boss Qian that the Americans built a huge warehouse underground in New York specifically for storing gold. Not only Boss Qian, but many countries have their hands in it." Fang Min said.
Dog traitor!
Here comes my chance to make a fortune!
