Chapter 19 Meeting old friends (seeking investment and collection)
A few days later, it was also the customs wharf.
Minglou and Mingcheng, dressed in casual suits, followed the flow of people and walked down the gangway one after another.
Setting foot on the land of their hometown again made both of them feel a little emotional.
Time flies and the sea changes.
In just a few years, Shanghai is no longer the familiar Shanghai they have lived in since childhood.
Foreign enemies have invaded, mountains and rivers have been shattered, and years of war have ravaged Shanghai, once the largest city in the Far East, to a state of disgrace, and the people living here have suffered unimaginable disasters.
However, in sharp contrast to the suffering people are the traitorous officials and gentry who live in the concessions, as well as the wealthy gentlemen who claim to be upper-class people.
These guys are like ostriches with their heads stuck in the sand. They live in a world of their own imagination. They cannot see or want to see the disturbances outside.
"happy" level.
Perhaps it was precisely because of this mentality that the concession, which had essentially become an isolated island after the fall of Shanghai, turned out to be a deformed and prosperous scene, full of irony.
"Brother, where should we go first?"
"Rent a car first, and then go to Chinachem to book a room." Having said this, Minglou paused for a moment, and then continued, "When you finish these things, take me to No. 76."
"Aren't you going to take a rest?" Cheng couldn't help but asked as he looked at Minglou, who was slightly tired from the long journey.
However, Minglou waved his hand, "No, the word rest is too luxurious for us now. Go ahead!"
After having known each other for many years, Ah Cheng naturally understood Minglou's character very well, so he no longer tried to persuade him and he obeyed obediently.
No. 76 Jisi Feier Road, Wang Puppet Agent Headquarters.
Wang Manchun rushed out of the gate of Headquarters No. 76 at a trot. He immediately saw Minglou standing across the road, and he shouted happily, "Brother!"
Minglou smiled and took the initiative to open his arms to her. He took Wang Manchun, who was rushing towards him like the wind, into his arms and turned around. Under the dazzling sunshine, Wang Manchun looked at Minglou's thin and handsome figure.
His face couldn't help but feel dizzy because of this long-lost happiness, and under the guidance of the two of them, even the surrounding air seemed to be exuding a sweet smell.
"I've grown taller." Minglou gently touched Wang Manchun's head and said with doting eyes.
Wang Manchun glared slightly and pretended to be angry: "Stop making trouble, senior brother! How old am I!"
Minglou smiled, "That might be because we haven't seen each other for a long time."
Hearing this, Wang Manchun couldn't help but look dim, but he quickly recovered and took the initiative to hold Minglou's hand and said, "I just received a call from you in the office. I really thought I was dreaming."
"Don't you know I'm coming back?" Minglou asked in surprise.
"I'm not a god."
Minglou joked: "You can't deceive me by saying this."
Wang Manchun's smile became even stronger, without the slightest embarrassment of being exposed: "Brother, after all these years, why do you still like to tear people down in person?"
"What, are you angry?"
"No." Wang Manchun shook his head, his eyes full of sincerity, "If it were anyone else, I would have...only you, wouldn't."
"That's really an honor for me."
"When did you come back?" Wang Manchun asked intentionally or unintentionally.
"This afternoon."
"The first one to come see me?" Wang Manchun stared at him with some disbelief.
Minglou asked back: "Is it important?"
"certainly."
"Then let it be."
Before he finished speaking, Wang Manchun took the initiative to hold his arm.
"What are you..."
"Consider it a reward for you! Come with me for a walk?"
Minglou couldn't help but frown after hearing this, "Then should you reward me, or should I reward you?"
However, despite what they said, the two of them still walked affectionately away from No. 76 like a couple in love...
And just after the two of them walked away, the guard standing guard at the door couldn't help but said to his companion: "Hey, did you see it? Darling, I didn't expect that Director Wang has such a feminine side, really...
"
"Who says it's not the case! The scene just now was so sweet that it was so sweet! My wife and I weren't that bored either!"
"But I heard that Chairman Ming strongly opposed the two of them being together. Could it be that he has changed his mind?"
"No way? Didn't Team Leader Chen bring people to Ming's flour mill to cause trouble two days ago?"
"That's true, but..."
"Ahem!" Just as the two were chatting happily, they were interrupted by a sudden cough. The two doormen were immediately frightened because they didn't know when they appeared.
The person behind the scenes was none other than Liang Zhongchun, Director of the Operations Division!
"I said you two should stand guard properly. What are you talking about? Are you afraid that others won't know about our Commander No. 76? You bastards!"
"Director Liang, we know we were wrong!" the two guards admitted their mistake in unison.
"Okay! This time I will treat it as a warning to you. If it happens again, I will punish you twice for one crime. Do you hear me?"
"heard it!"
"Very good! Now, report to me everything you just saw and heard. No detail can be missed."
"Ah?" The two doormen obviously didn't follow Liang Zhongchun's thinking, and they couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
"Ah what? Come on, go to my office, now! Immediately! Immediately!"
"yes!"
…
At the same time, Wang Manchun, who had no idea what was happening here, had already walked to Triangle Park with Minglou on his arm.
"Will you still leave?" After a short silence, Wang Manchun asked, somewhat worried about gain and loss.
Minglou shook his head: "I'm not leaving. Now Europe is also in a crisis. The situation is chaotic, the economy is collapsing, and there are wars everywhere. As for me, I have made up my mind and will not go anywhere. From then on, the tired bird returns to the forest.
.”
Hearing this, the corners of Wang Manchun's mouth unconsciously raised slightly, "What are your plans?"
"Your uncle asked me to come back and work for the new government with him. I would work as an official in the Economic Department or the Finance Department. I agreed. I thought... after all, I am working with the teacher, so I can do anything.
Get twice the result with half the effort. However, you also know my eldest sister’s temper. She has never advocated that the children of the Ming family should engage in politics, although she also knows that politics and economics are inseparable. "
"Yeah, people like us who make a living by fighting and killing can't join your sister's discernment, right?" Wang Manchun said bitterly, as if out of anger.
Unexpectedly, as soon as these words came out, the atmosphere between the two suddenly became subtle. Minglou's eyes when he looked at Wang Manchun also changed several emotions in an instant. Even Ah, who was driving a car behind him, followed the two of them step by step.
Cheng unconsciously tightened his grip on the steering wheel in front of him and held his breath...
