Chu Lingyun nodded. They will go to Qingdao early tomorrow morning and then return to Japan. No one will know about this trip, and no one will think that they participated in this grand ceremony.
At the end of the ceremony, Zuo Xuan and others all breathed a sigh of relief.
Zheng Yiyang and others returned to the dormitory. The case had not been solved yet. They were still living in the bureau's dormitory. He and Hao Dachuan shared a room.
"I'm so tired, I'm going to sleep first."
Hao Dachuan took off his shoes, didn't brush his teeth, and didn't wash his feet. He snored within half a minute of lying on the bed. Today was a very important day. They got up at four in the morning and had been busy all day.
Zheng Yiyang shook his head gently. He was also very tired and was ready to wash up and go to bed.
While brushing his teeth, Zheng Yiyang was stunned for a moment.
He was thinking about the Yu Chunfa he met today.
At that time, I only focused on chatting with him and ignored many details. Yu Chunfa knew them very well, but this was not the key. Zheng Yiyang thought of the tone of his words.
At that time, they were shocked by how much Chu Lingyun knew, and they couldn't help but sit down and chat as he asked. When thinking about it, Zheng Yiyang discovered that from the time they arrived, the entire process was controlled by Yu Chunfa, who led the three of them to do things.
.
The way Yu Chunfa spoke was like their leader.
This Yu Chunfa is definitely a person who has been in a high position all year round. Neither Lao Luo nor Zuo Xuan has the momentum like him.
There seems to be a sense of military toughness about him.
Who is Yu Chunfa?
In other words, who is this person pretending to be Yu Chunfa?
It's a pity that the director didn't say anything. Zheng Yiyang didn't dare to ask about the things the director didn't say.
Zheng Yiyang didn't know. He was not wrong when he said he was the leader. Chu Lingyun was the leader of Zuo Xuan. His identity was not exposed. If he returned, his job position would definitely be higher than that of Zuo Xuan, and he might even become their direct leader.
Early the next morning, Secretary Wang came to pick up Chu Lingyun and Chu Yuan.
There were not many planes, but Chu Lingyun needed it, and Ke Gong still helped him coordinate it, so that they could return to Qingdao and then Japan as quickly as possible.
"Comrade Lao Wu."
Secretary Wang brought Chu Lingyun and the two to the dock. Old Wu hurriedly walked out. After Chu Lingyun left, their boat was covered to avoid being seen.
This is a small pier and there is no one there now.
"Secretary Wang, two distinguished guests, you are back."
Old Wu said hello, and Secretary Wang nodded slightly. He watched Chu Lingyun and the others board the boat, and then watched Old Wu and others sail away.
Secretary Wang waited until the boat was far away before sighing and leaving the dock.
In Japan, the designer had already made a complete design drawing. As soon as Chu Lingyun came back, Shuicheng Jun brought the design drawing to him for review.
There is nothing wrong with the design this time, every detail is in place, and construction can begin.
Jun Shuicheng attaches great importance to the headquarters. He was not idle when the designer was designing. He had already found a construction team, all of which were experienced hands. After Ishihara Hiroshi agreed, they immediately started laying the foundation.
As for the cost, Shun Mizuki doesn't have to worry about it, Hiroshi Ishihara will give him enough construction funds.
The new headquarters is built with two four-story buildings and a two-story conference room and auditorium. It won't take long for such a building to be completed. In order to meet the construction deadline, Shuicheng Jun built all the buildings at the same time, including the yard where construction can be carried out.
Do it first, and if it doesn't work, wait until the construction is completed.
He even prepared the decoration team in advance. During this time, he also had to purchase furniture, various decorations, etc.
Anyway, the new headquarters of the former shrine will not be inferior to the original literary society in all aspects except for its military force.
On October 9th, Chu Lingyun and Mike said goodbye and left for the United States.
Ni Loach and Shen Hanwen have been traveling in the United States for more than half a month. In addition to New York, they have also visited several other cities, including the desert city of Las Vegas.
This city, which was built only a few decades ago, has already shown its charm as a gambling city.
Las Vegas was officially established as a city in 1905.
Initially, gold and silver mines were discovered here, and a large number of gold prospectors flocked here. The biggest characteristic of mining cities is that they will quickly decline after mining is completed.
All casinos here were closed in 10 years.
It was not until the early 1930s that the United States experienced the Great Depression. In order to revive the market and tide over the crisis, gambling was re-legalized here. Over the past decade or so, there have been many casinos and entertainment venues here.
At this time, Las Vegas was not as famous as it would be in later generations, but it had already attracted many tourists.
Ni Loach and Shen Hanwen didn't want to bet. They were just curious about this city built in the desert, so they came here to have a look. They only stayed for two days and then left.
At the airport, Chu Lingyun's plane slowly stopped.
Ni Loach, Shen Hanwen and Liu Shukui were all at the airport.
Chu Ya didn't come. She was about to give birth and it was not convenient for her to run around.
"Team leader."
Seeing Chu Lingyun leaning out, Ni Loach and Shen Hanwen shouted together. Chu Lingyun smiled and waved to them and got off the plane first.
Chu Yuan was at the back, and as for their luggage, there were dedicated people to help pick them up.
"Boss, you are back."
Liu Shukui also stepped forward, and the three of them were looking at Chu Lingyun.
"Go back and talk."
Chu Lingyun got in the car. This time he did not fly to Washington, but returned directly to San Francisco.
"Team leader, I really didn't expect that you have so many industries in the United States."
Ni Loach and Chu Lingyun were in the same car. Liu Shukui and the driver were also in the car. Shen Hanwen and Chu Yuan were in the car behind.
"How do you feel after being in the United States for so long?" Chu Lingyun said with a smile.
Loach sighed: "The United States is too prosperous. Team leader, the gap between us and the United States is really huge. It doesn't feel like we are in the same world."
Chu Lingyun nodded lightly: "During the first war, the United States did not participate, but it continued to sell arms and other supplies. Europe was beaten with blood, while the United States was making a fortune. That war was their rapid rise.
important reason."
"In the previous war, although the United States participated in the war, they did not experience any war in their own country. With the help of the military industry of the war, they developed rapidly in various manufacturing industries. Coupled with the American capital system, this place developed rapidly, but we have been at war year after year.
The previous Manchu Qing Dynasty had no enterprising spirit, so it is normal for there to be a gap between them."
The gap between China and the United States is indeed huge now, and even some enlightened people feel a sense of despair.
However, the New China has been established, and it will not take long for China to catch up. By then, China's cities will be better and bigger than those of the United States.
"That's what you said. I really don't know when we can catch up with the United States."
Loach nodded and said, while Chu Lingyun smiled: "The Chinese are the most diligent nation. If we live well and live to be a hundred years old, maybe we will be no worse than them."
Loach is thirty-eight years old this year, and there are still sixty-two years left before he turns one hundred.
China has taken off in the new century. At least the urban construction at that time was very good. If a loach can live to be a hundred years old, you can definitely see a completely different China.
"Okay, I'll work hard and try to live to be a hundred years old."
Ni Loach grinned and said, he thought the team leader was joking with him, but he didn't know that what Chu Lingyun said was the truth.
Liu Shukui smiled and said nothing.
He is younger, in his twenties this year. If he lives to be a hundred years old, he will definitely be able to see the prosperous New China.
"Brother, you are back."
At home, Chu Ya had arranged for someone to prepare the meal. She could not cook it herself now, so Chu Yuanchen and his wife helped to cook it.
All are domestic dishes.
What they do is more authentic and far better than what restaurants in Chinatown do.
The dining table was very lively, and Chu Yuanchen and his wife also came, their family, plus the Loach family, Shen Hanwen and Liu Shukui.
"Ling Yun, does Long Mei know you are back?"
Before eating, He Wanrong asked first, her grandson was about to be born, and what she was most concerned about now was when her son would get married and have children.
Long Mei is beautiful and her son is not ugly. The mixed-race child they will give birth to will definitely be very good-looking.
"I know, I'll go there tomorrow."
Chu Lingyun smiled and nodded. The telegrams between him and Long Mei never stopped. This time Long Mei knew that he had been wronged and went out of his way to help him fight the injustice.
"Okay, if you have no problem, settle the relationship as soon as possible."
He Wanrong nodded and said, the girl is young, and the son is not young. Although his son and Miss Long Mei are a good match, the couple will not be at ease one day at a time.
"Mom, don't worry, I will ask her."
Chu Lingyun smiled and nodded. In fact, he had no plans to start a family in the past few years. Long Mei was still young anyway, so there was no rush there.
It's not too late to wait until things are right before getting married.
Chu Ya opened two bottles of good wine and the men drank some together. They were not used to the domestic liquor and the foreign wine here.
After dinner, we watch TV together.
Nowadays, there are not many channels on TV, and the ones you can watch are limited, but everyone can still watch them with gusto.
Chu Lingyun only watched for a while and then went to rest.
Today's TV programs are far behind those of the future. In addition, the quality of TV sets is average and the pixels are not that high, making them look boring.
Early the next morning, Chu Lingyun took Ni Loach and Shen Hanwen to the airport.
Chu Yuan had just come back. He had been out for so long this time, and Chu Ya was about to give birth. He was asked to stay at home with his wife, as long as Liu Shukui was with him. As for Ni Loach and Shen Hanwen, they were just making up the numbers.
They don't speak English well, so they can't be of any use.
Most bullets can be blocked.
Chu Lingyun doesn't have that many opponents in the United States. No one will come to harm him, so there is no need for a human shield.
"Chu, you are finally back."
Long Mei was waiting at the airport. When she saw Chu Lingyun, she ran over and gave Chu Lingyun a hug and a kiss.
Ni Loach and Shen Hanwen looked very envious, but Ni Loach didn't dare to show it, and Lily followed.
"Hanwen, how about you also marry a foreign wife?" Loach whispered in Shen Hanwen's ear.
"I don't want it." Shen Hanwen shook his head like a rattle.
"What do you mean, do you dislike the team leader?" Loach immediately went online.
"Don't lie, I didn't."
Shen Hanwen was anxious and Lily snickered on the side. Loach did it on purpose and Shen Hanwen fell into his trap.
"That's what you think. I'll tell the team leader later."
Loach said angrily. Shen Hanwen became anxious and pulled him aside to discuss how to seal his mouth. They came back not long after. Looking at Shen Hanwen's heartbroken expression, they knew that he had been blackmailed by Loach.
"I asked the boy to recognize our daughter as his goddaughter. I will give you a gold bowl and gold chopsticks, three pounds and three taels."
The loach chuckled and held out three fingers. One catty was sixteen taels. Three catties was forty-eight taels. Plus three taels was exactly five large yellow croakers and one small yellow croaker.
Shen Hanwen is not as rich as Loach, but he can definitely afford a few gold bars.
"You."
Lily smiled and shook her head. A few gold bars were nothing, but she didn't expect Loach to ask Shen Hanwen to be the godfather of her child.
"I'm anxious for him to settle down and start a family as soon as possible. Now it's up to him."
Loach chuckled. Chu Lingyun and Long Mei had already got into the car, and they hurriedly followed.
"Chu, long time no see."
In the afternoon, Chu Lingyun came to a manor of Kate Gate. Before coming, he had made an appointment with Kate Gate to meet this afternoon.
He was greeted by Reese.
"haven't seen you for a long time."
Chu Lingyun stepped forward to shake hands with Reese, and Reese said hello to Long Mei who was next to Chu Lingyun. He knew Long Mei.
The Loach family and Shen Hanwen were also there, and Reese took them all in.
"Chu, I heard that you were wronged. Do you want me to help you vent your anger?"
Kate stood at the door, extended her hand in a friendly manner, and said to Chu Lingyun with a smile.
Long Mei was okay, Ni Loach and Shen Hanwen's hearts trembled again.
They have known for a long time that the team leader has a good relationship with Ketmen, but hearing and seeing are two different things. This man is one of the most famous people in the world. Judging from his attitude towards the team leader, it is clear that he does not regard the team leader as an outsider.
And Mike is in Japan. No wonder the old man is so afraid of the team leader.
"What kind of grievances do I have? Haven't you already helped me vent my anger?"
Chu Lingyun smiled and shook his head. Not long ago, Ketmen once again criticized the corruption of the Fruit Party, saying that very little of the assistance they provided to the Fruit Party was actually used, and most of it was embezzled by a few top families.
Kateman expressed his dissatisfaction sternly.
"Haha, but everything I said is true. They are really hateful. Miss Long Mei, you are here too. You and Chu are definitely a match made in heaven."
Kate greeted Long Mei in a friendly manner.
The family power behind Miss Long Mei is not small, and he will not easily offend these old capital.
"Thank you, Mr. Kettlemen."
Long Mei smiled slightly, and Kate took them in. Someone made tea and coffee for them, and it was up to them to choose.
Shen Hanwen and Niyi chose tea. They were not used to the bitter coffee. Chu Lingyun was also drinking tea.
Lily and Long Mei both wanted coffee, and Liu Shukui also wanted coffee.
"Chu, you stay in the United States and don't go back. Your provisional government is about to be finished. Let's see where Chang will go this time."
Kateman first said that the organization's offensive has not stopped. Many places in Guangdong have been liberated and are approaching Guangzhou.
The third group of people from the inspection room has been evacuated, and the fourth group is now being evacuated.
The fourth batch will all be evacuated to Taiwan, including Zheng Guangtao.
As for where the eldest son and the others were going, Zheng Guangtao did not ask.
The old man was unwilling to give in. He estimated that there was a high possibility of going to Chongqing. He wanted to use that area and the southwest to delay the attack of the Red Army. His idea was good, but it was very unrealistic.
Now few people are optimistic that the Fruit Party can hold Chongqing.
