Chapter 893: Skull and Bones
Chapter 893 Skull and Bones Society
Sun Lingfei moved quickly, and on the second day she got Minister Sun busy with this matter in full swing.
Minister Sun was very helpless for his daughter. She was in the second year of the lunar new year and wanted to do something like this. Seeing that Xu Ze didn't object, he had to persuade her: "My good daughter... you are so stupid."
It’s a good thing, but schools over there haven’t started yet, so why are you so anxious? Just wait until after the Lantern Festival to do it!”
"That won't work... After the Lantern Festival, those children will go to school. In such a cold weather, we can't let them bring two pieces of cold sweet potatoes to school... When they start school, they must have food to eat...
." Sun Lingfei was stamping her feet aside, holding on to Minister Sun's sleeve and refusing to let go.
"But it's only the second day of the Lunar New Year... I haven't gone to work yet, so let's wait until the seventh day of the Lunar New Year... You put up the air first, and then I can go to the Ministry of Civil Affairs after everyone goes to work... Otherwise, this
I’m embarrassed to celebrate the Chinese New Year..."
Minister Sun persuaded Sun Lingfei to stop after a while of persuasion.
However, Sun Lingfei was not idle. She directly picked up the phone and called people to prepare for the preliminary work.
For such things, the Xing University Students Association is quite enthusiastic... At least under the appeal of Miss Sun, the students who had nothing to do during the New Year directly turned on their computers and started a video conference in full swing.
.
Looking at the enthusiastic Miss Sun, Xu Ze could only shrug. He knew why Sun Lingfei was in such a hurry, just for the trip to Country M that he promised her. Only by arranging things properly in this first month can she
Feel free to leave.
Xu Ze also left Sun Lingfei to deal with it. Since he had signed the check anyway, Minister Sun would not treat his daughter as if he was playing house on a whim. In a few days, he would naturally arrange for someone to help Sun Lingfei formally arrange the matter.
He waited until the second day, which was the third day of the Lunar New Year, and returned to Star City with his family. After landing in Star City, the whole family went straight to Tianyang Mountain to pay New Year's greetings to Mr. Tang.
After thirty years, on the first day of the new year, Tang Guorui began to rest, and even Guagua and Bao'er came back from abroad. When Xu Ze's family passed by, the Tang family became really lively.
Xu Ze has not been to Tianyang Mountain for some days. The old man was very happy to see Xu Ze and gave Xu Qing'er and Xu Hao a big red envelope each.
Xu's father and Xu's mother were quite familiar with the old man, and had met Tang Guorui a few times, so they didn't go out. Everyone also had lunch together at Tianyang Mountain.
However, the Tang family has two more guests today. They are Guagua's classmates. This time, Guagua and Guagua came from country M to experience the Chinese Spring Festival.
Guagua’s two classmates are both male classmates, one with blond hair is called Johnny and the other with brown hair is called EJ. They are both top students at Yale. From Guagua’s introduction, Xu Ze is the famous young lieutenant general in China.
, both of them had strange lights flashing in their eyes.
Young people all worship heroes, especially people like Xu Ze who are only a few years older than them and already occupy a high position, which excites them even more.
However, the two people in front of them obviously didn't have any overly excited expressions. They only had appreciation and admiration, and their demeanor was quite calm.
Looking at Xu Ze, Johnny's blue eyes flashed with a smile. He stretched out his hand towards Xu Ze and said in English: "Johnny Lord..."
"Xu Ze...Welcome to China!" Xu Ze also smiled, then stretched out his hand to shake his hand. Xu Ze also admired the blond young man in front of him quite a lot. He knew it by looking at the other person's demeanor.
Not an ordinary person.
Hearing Xu Ze's fluent English, the smile in Johnny's eyes grew stronger. He was quite curious about this country, and was actually quite familiar with it. It was strange that the senior Chinese general in front of him actually spoke fluent English.
Surprised but also very happy, at least... the other party is not only young, but also not as difficult to communicate and deal with as those pedantic officials in China.
"ej? Payne..." The brown-haired ej spoke with a pure Oxford accent, which made Xu Ze slightly stunned.
However, he still smiled politely, shook hands with the other party, nodded and said a few polite words.
"Xu...these two people are not ordinary people..." At this time, Xiao Dao's voice sounded in Xu Ze's ears, saying: "Johnny Lord, the M-country railway and the financial tycoon Lord family
The eldest son...and may have become a member of Skull and Bones..."
"ej. Payne, the eldest son of the Payne family. His grandfather immigrated to Country M from England sixty years ago. He is of aristocratic descent. His father, Henry Payne, is now a member of Congress of Country M. It is said that his father is also a member of the Skull and Bones Society.
...It does not rule out the possibility that this ej has also entered the Skull and Bones Society."
"Skull and Bones?" Xu Ze was stunned, and then a piece of information he had seen before emerged in his mind. The Skull and Bones is a secret elite society in country m. It recruits 15 third-year students from Yale University every year. Its members include many Americans.
Important figures in politics, business, and education, including three U.S. presidents and many federal officials and university presidents. It is secretly rumored that the Skull and Bones Society has controlled the entire country M for a long time, and its power is extremely large and terrifying...
The Lord family and the Payne family seem to be families with great political and economic ties to the Skull and Bones Society, and both are third-year students at Yale University. It seems very likely that they will be recruited to join the Skull and Bones.
meeting.
The Tang family is also a famous red family in China, and the fact that the other party can have good relations with the descendants of the Tang family shows that it is more likely...
Once, as Xiaodao guessed, the two of them have actually entered the Skull and Bones Society, their future prospects will be absolutely limitless.
Xu Ze doesn't care much about this, but Xu Ze still attaches great importance to the family behind the other party. The Lord family and the Payne family are very powerful in country M, and there are members of Congress in the family. If
Being able to make good friends with these two people may be quite helpful to Xu Ze during his trip to Country M.
At that moment, Xu Ze also chatted politely with the two of them; and the two of them seemed to be quite interested in Xu Ze. After chatting for a few words, they even sent an invitation to Xu Ze to travel to country M when he had time.
Naturally, Xu Ze would not refuse this invitation. He looked at the two of them with a smile and said: "Later on, maybe I really have the opportunity to go to your country, and then I may have to bother you two..."
Hearing that Xu Ze actually agreed smoothly, a trace of surprise flashed in the eyes of both of them. Their invitation was just polite, and of course they welcomed it. However, they did not expect that Xu Ze actually said that he was expected to go there in the near future. The two of them were shocked.
, as a senior general of the Chinese military, why did Xu Ze go to Country M?
They are very aware of the situation in China. As a senior general of China, Xu Ze, if he wants to go to Country M, is usually only possible unless it is for some kind of visit, but that will definitely be through official channels, but he also hinted that he might disturb the two of them.
, what does that mean? Is it a private visit?
How is this possible for a senior Chinese general to pay a private visit to Country M? But looking at Xu Ze's expression, it didn't look like he was talking casually. The two of them were excited and doubtful at the same time.
No matter what, if the other party can really visit country m privately and contact himself and others on a personal basis, it will definitely be a good thing, and it may be of great benefit to the family behind him.
Xu Ze's identity is not comparable to that of Gua Gua. The family may be quite willing to have some direct contact with Xu Ze.
At that moment, both of them excitedly left their contact information for Xu Ze, and repeatedly told Xu Ze that if he really arrived in country m, he must contact them.
After chatting with the two for a while, Xu Ze said goodbye to the two of them, and then said goodbye to the old man before leaving with the whole family...
"Why did you chat with two foreign guys for so long? You probably don't like chatting with them too much!" After getting in the car, Sun Lingfei was very curious.
Xu Ze chuckled lightly, and then said: "These two boys have a lot of status in country M. Maybe if we go there, we will need a little help from them!"
Sun Lingfei's eyes flashed with a hint of understanding and emotion, and she nodded gently.
After rushing back to Chentang Town and getting off the bus at home, many neighbors knew that Xu Ze was back, and they all enthusiastically came to say hello. Xu's father and mother, who had not been home for several days, were very confused.
, this guest came to the door, and even the hot tea had to be made temporarily.
However, these neighbors were all very casual, standing and sitting at the door. Many people stood at the door holding big teacups, happily chatting with Xu Ze, and
Ask Xu Ze about his situation in Yanjing.
Everyone was used to Xu Ze's character, and they were very happy that Xu Ze had gradually risen to a high position in the past two years, but was still as casually close to him as before, so more and more people gathered at the door, although many people
They couldn't get a word in, but they all stood there. After saying hello to Xu Ze, they looked at Xu Ze with a smile and listened to Xu Ze chatting with others.
Xu Ze looked at the time, it was almost five o'clock, looked at the uncles and uncles of his neighbors, and said with a smile: "It's rare for me to come back, so I'll invite all of you to have a meal together..."
Hearing Xu Ze say that he was inviting guests to a meal, everyone was a little panicked. They all hurriedly smiled and dispersed. They were embarrassed to let Xu Ze treat guests. Only the two closest families nearby, Uncle Li and Brother Zhang, insisted on holding them.
Xu Ze went to their house for dinner.
Seeing everyone hurriedly dispersed, Xu Ze felt a little embarrassed, so he went home and wanted to have a meal at home, but he declined immediately.
The first meal of the new year at home, Xu's father and Xu's mother moved very quickly. After all, in rural areas, the cured fish, bacon and duck are all ready-made, and it was easy to just pull two handfuls of green vegetables from the soil behind.
It was so good that as soon as six o'clock arrived, a whole table of dishes was ready.
Everyone ate a little and warmed themselves up by the fire in the stove room. Those who were tired from the journey took an early rest.
There are only three rooms in the house, so today Xu Ze is sharing a room with Xu Hao, and Sun Lingfei is with Xu Qing'er.
