After taking Yuan Ziyuan back, Lu Ming's heart dropped for a long time. If he could take back Sheng Muyi again, it would be complete.
However, Sheng Muyi's current whereabouts are unknown and there is no news from her, which makes people worried.
Lu Ming questioned Yuan Ziyuan carefully, scrutinizing every detail of the two of them's escape, trying to find clues, but failed.
Yuan Ziyuan put forward her own opinion, which made Lu Ming feel a little relieved.
Yuan Ziyuan said that there is no news about Sheng Muyi now, which is not a bad thing, but a good thing. If something happened to someone like Sheng Muyi, it would have caused a sensation in most of China.
What does this mean? It means that she hid it very deeply and did not expose it.
Lu Ming agreed with this point of view to a certain extent, because he really couldn't give any reason to object.
Yuan Ziyuan instinctively tried to think of the best, which is understandable, but they must have discussed how to take emergency measures in special situations.
Sheng Muyi has not taken any emergency actions so far. It is like a drop of water disappearing into a river. Is it safe or unsafe?
The cancellation of the 520 plan by the Japanese military was partly related to the departure of Sheng Muyi and Yuan Ziyuan.
Yuan Ziyuan was under house arrest by the Japanese for half a year and returned to Shanghai safe and sound. This is a positive signal.
Lu Ming came to the conclusion that the day when Sheng Muyi would show up was not far away.
After learning about this thrilling incident, Yuan Mingzhu was extremely scared. She also heard that Sheng Muyi's whereabouts were unknown and she had been in a daze for several days.
Yuan Mingzhu called her eldest brother and told him that he would not return to Caobang for the time being and would stay with her sister in Liuyuan.
These days, she is like a follower, staying close to Yuan Ziyuan, fearing that her sister will suddenly disappear again.
Sheng Youde's mood also eased. He asked Yuan Ziyuan to take over the previous tasks of Sheng Muyi and Sheng Di and temporarily act as the general manager of Sheng's Industry.
Yuan Ziyuan has been helping Sheng Muyi manage Sheng's industry before, and is no stranger to the business managed by Sheng Di, so she is naturally the best candidate for this position.
However, I am too busy, traveling non-stop every day, as if I am about to fly.
Yuan Mingzhu was following behind her, like a fool who didn't understand anything and couldn't help, and finally sighed: "What kind of work are you doing? It's simply not done by humans."
Saying this, Yuan Mingzhu still couldn't bear to leave her sister.
In fact, Yuan Mingzhu was not so close to Yuan Ziyuan before. She and Ning Xiner spent the whole day together and could not bear to separate while sleeping. After learning about her sister's disappearance, she was frightened.
It is precisely because of this that Yuan Mingzhu has a psychological barrier towards Lu Ming. Although she knows that Lu Ming has been hiding this from her for her own good and does not want her to be frightened or live in torment every day, she still feels it in her heart.
uncomfortable.
Yuan Mingzhu had always firmly believed that no matter what happened, Lu Ming could not hide it from her. Facts have proved that this is not necessarily the case.
During this period, Yuan Mingzhu felt unhappy and had been avoiding Lu Ming intentionally or unintentionally, not knowing how to talk to him.
Lu Ming felt Yuan Mingzhu's alienation and did not take the initiative to find her. He could only smile bitterly. He could not defend himself. At the same time, he also hoped that Yuan Mingzhu would grow wiser and mature gradually.
Lu Ming was also living in Lingering Garden during this period. Although Yuan Ziyuan came back and Sheng Di, the God of Plague, was sent away, the Sheng family's crisis seemed to have passed safely, but Sheng Muyi hadn't come back yet, so the matter was not over.
Yuan Mingzhu didn't want to talk to him, so he went to Huang Yanning for a drink and a chat. After a few days, he got to know more about this young officer who was born in Huangpu.
Sheng Youde still controls the Sheng Empire from behind the scenes like an invisible man, rarely showing up in front of others, and even Lu Ming doesn't have many chances to see him.
Under normal circumstances, as long as Sheng Youde did not summon Lu Ming, he would not take the initiative to ask for a meeting unless there was an emergency.
Lu Ming always felt that Sheng Youde's thoughts were mostly not on Sheng's property, and he wondered what he was busy with all day long.
Lu Ming knew that he was helping the Republic of China government raise military funds. It was said that he was going to expand the Hanyang Arsenal, purchase equipment one after another, and also add a machine gun factory.
The government of the Republic of China raised funds through the Shanghai chaebols, mainly using their hands to organize a capital network, ranging from local gentry to local merchants in Jiangnan, and to consortiums from various countries in Europe and the United States.
Sheng Youde was like a lead, connecting nerves in all directions, raising the military expenditures needed by the Republic of China government in a timely manner.
But Lu Ming felt that there was more to Sheng Youde Zhangluo than that. There was more that he hadn't said, and Lu Ming couldn't guess what it was.
Lu Ming always felt that the peace in Liuyuan was unreal, as if new energy was brewing and gathering, and a new wave might be set off at any time.
As it happened, that night, Lu Ming was drinking with Huang Yanning, and Yuan Ziyuan suddenly appeared in front of them.
"Lu Ming, you know how to drink every day, why are you embarrassed? There is a grown man standing there, watching me work so hard, and you don't do anything to help me!"
Yuan Ziyuan sat down next to Huang Yanning and pretended to scold him.
"Sister, don't worry, we have different divisions of labor. I am a legal advisor, not a financial advisor. If you have any legal disputes, call me at any time and I will do my best to help you." Lu Ming was half lying on a rosewood chair.
, it was so comfortable that when I saw Yuan Ziyuan, I didn’t even lift my buttocks.
"You are cheating. What time of day are you telling me about the division of labor?" Yuan Ziyuan pretended to be angry.
"You have to pay attention to the division of labor at all times, otherwise it will be chaos." Lu Ming said indifferently.
"Miss Yuan, do you need help? We can help you." Huang Yanning said seriously.
"Thank you, Adjutant Huang. What I need are management talents, not hard work." Yuan Ziyuan said with a bitter smile.
Huang Yanning had no choice but to show his hands. His people could go to the battlefield to fight and do work, but they definitely couldn't work as managers in the factory, including himself.
"Mingzhu is still angry with me?" Lu Ming stood up and asked with a smile.
"Humph, let me tell you, this girl is not good at coaxing her. Please help me more quickly and flatter me. I will help you comfort and comfort you, and the guardian will coax her over." Yuan Ziyuan seemed to
Just waiting for Lu Ming to say this, he suddenly said with joy.
"No, I know her very well. She has never been deceived since she was a child, and she never thought that I would lie to her. She can't wrap her head around it. But when she understands my good intentions, it will be fine." Lu Ming
smiled.
Yuan Ziyuan was so angry that she stamped her feet. Lu Ming was absolutely right. Mingzhu was just such a person. It was useless to persuade her when she was stubborn. She had to give her time to change her mind.
This is what Yuan Mingzhu thinks now. She has never been deceived by anyone, and no one is willing or dares to deceive her. The person who was deceived this time was still her closest person. She thought that the person who would never deceive her in her life was so deep in her heart.
This energy just can't be turned around.
Lu Ming didn't bother to coax her. She could only let her slowly come around to this kind of thing. Otherwise, even if the knot in her heart was settled, she might not be able to untie it for the rest of her life.
"You are so smart. Why don't you come out and do something serious if you are so smart? Does it have nothing to do with you that the Sheng family has encountered such a big obstacle?" Yuan Ziyuan said angrily.
Lu Ming quickly winked, fearing that Yuan Ziyuan might have leaked the information.
Sheng's Industry is composed of the properties of the Sheng Family, the Lu Family, and the Yuan Family, but this is a secret and cannot be disclosed to the outside world. Sheng's Industry is not a joint-stock company, and there is no need to announce the shareholding structure to the outside world.
Of course Yuan Ziyuan was not confused, she just nodded at Lu Ming.
Lu Ming was not lazy, he just didn't want to do the job of managing a company. When he returned to Shanghai, Sheng Youde offered him a position as a senior manager. He refused without hesitation, and later opened a business of his own that he has never had before.
A popular detective agency.
Thinking of the detective agency, he couldn't help but sigh. He hadn't been there for a long time. Maybe the people in that building thought that the detective agency had ceased operations and had become obsolete.
However, he bought the office of the detective agency. No matter whether he works or not, no one can take away his office.
Lu Ming looked at Yuan Ziyuan and couldn't help but snicker in his heart. He noticed that as soon as Yuan Ziyuan came in, he couldn't help but sit next to Huang Yanning. When talking to him, he always looked at Huang Yanning intentionally or unintentionally.
There was some ambiguity flowing in Yuan Ziyuan's eyes.
There seems to be something going on here.
Could it be that Yuan Ziyuan is interested in Huang Yanning?
Isn't this too fast? Lu Ming couldn't believe it.
Although the engagement between Yuan Ziyuan and Sheng Di has not been officially terminated, since Sheng Di has now become a national traitor and has been deported to Japan, making it impossible for him to come back, the engagement will naturally be terminated.
