Returning to the team, Li Qiang had just assembled the team and announced the latest personnel appointments when an uninvited guest suddenly arrived.
"Takagi-kun? Why are you here?"
"That's it, Vice Captain Ming, oh no, I should call you Captain Ming now. I'm here specifically to send an invitation to Captain Ming. At seven o'clock tonight, Chief Fujita will host a banquet at the Shanghai Hotel. Please also invite
Captain Ming must be honored to attend."
As he spoke, Takagi actually took out an exquisite invitation card from his arms and handed it to Li Qiang's hand.
"Takagi-kun is so polite. Chief Fujita invites you, so Ming Qiang will be happy to go."
"That's good, I'll take my leave now." After saying this, Takagi turned around and left without stopping for too long.
In the afternoon, Li Qiang received a call from Haitang.
But strangely, in the face of Haitang's inquiry, Acheng remained silent, as if he was deliberately hiding something, so he didn't ask anything valuable.
This made Li Qiang couldn't help but wonder in his heart: Could it be that Mingtai secretly monitored Wang Furui without Mingtou knowing about it, and was it purely his personal behavior? Or...
In this way, Li Qiang continued to think of countermeasures for Ming Jing while guessing Mingtai's intentions. In the blink of an eye, the afternoon passed.
Thinking of going to the banquet in the evening, Li Qiang got off work on time and planned to go back to the Ming Mansion to change his clothes.
But just when Li Qiang came out of the office, a figure quickly walked past him. While blowing up a fragrant breeze, he also quietly stuffed a note into Li Qiang's body.
wall in hand.
Even if he just saw a silhouette, Li Qiang could recognize that the beautiful woman who just gave him a note was none other than Cheng Jinyun.
Yes, both the techniques and the secrecy when transmitting information have made great progress. It seems that this girl has been working hard recently!
However, out of caution, Li Qiang did not spread out the note immediately. Instead, he called a rickshaw. After getting on the rickshaw, he calmly glanced at the content on it. After reading it, he simply handed over the note.
The strip was thrown directly into his mouth...
"Brother A Qiang, are you back?" As soon as he walked in, A Xiang came out overjoyed and said to Li Qiang.
This made Li Qiang feel a little uncomfortable, "Axiang, your reaction is a bit too much, wasn't I just out of town for a few days? It's not like I'm going to make you happy like this, right?"
"
I didn't expect Axiang to pout after hearing this, "Why not? I've been so busy these days trying to add more New Year atmosphere to my family! I finally looked forward to the return of such a powerful helper, Brother Aqiang.
, of course I’m happy!”
"Are you alone? Where are the others?" Li Qiang asked subconsciously.
"It's almost the end of the New Year. The eldest lady has been busy dealing with the company's affairs these days; the eldest young master and Brother Cheng have been so busy at work that they haven't come back for several days; the young master also sent a telegram a few days ago.
He said he would stay in Hong Kong to celebrate the New Year this year and not come back! So I am the only one left! But fortunately, Brother Aqiang, you are back. Otherwise, there are so many New Year things at home that need to be prepared. I really don’t know if it will be late.
!”
Hearing these words, Li Qiang was so shocked that he couldn't help but laugh bitterly, "Good guy, are you planning to use me as a coolie?"
"Now, you said this! I didn't say it!" Axiang pulled Li Qiang's sleeve and said coquettishly, "Just tell me whether you want to help me or not!"
"Okay, okay, I promise to help you." Faced with Axiang's coquettish offensive, Li Qiang naturally did not dare to fight. In addition, with such a big Ming family, it was really frustrating for him to have Axiang busy all by himself.
He couldn't stand it, but before Axiang could be happy for too long, Li Qiang suddenly changed the subject, "But not today!"
As soon as these words came out, Ah Xiang was very disappointed and asked: "Why?"
"I have to go to a Shanghai hotel soon. The Japanese are hosting a dinner party and they even sent me a special invitation. I can't help but go!"
"Oh, that's it!" After hearing this, Axiang nodded sensibly, "Then... you go and take out the clothes you will wear later, and I will iron them for you!"
"That's good! Then it's hard work for Sister Axiang. Ah, by the way!" After saying that, Li Qiang took out a box of snacks from his bag and handed it to Axiang's hand, "Here you go, this is what I specially brought from Hankou.
The snacks I brought back.”
As soon as she saw the box of snacks, Axiang's eyes immediately lit up, "Wow! It looks delicious. What kind of snacks are in it?"
"Noodle nests, mung bean cakes, Huanxi Tuo, Ma Baked Cake... Anyway, they are the most famous local snacks. Do you like them?"
"I like it! Thank you, Brother Aqiang!"
Li Qiang smiled happily, "Then you eat first, and I'll get the clothes."
"Um!"
In this way, one of them was ironing the clothes carefully, and the other was helping to decorate the living room, talking and laughing with each other, and it was a happy scene.
Before you know it, it's time to go.
After changing his clothes and saying hello to Axiang, Li Qiang left the Ming Mansion.
But on the way to the Shanghai Hotel, Li Qiang found a note in his pocket. When he saw the content on the note, his originally good mood disappeared almost instantly.
Wu Xing even clenched his fists unconsciously.
"Boss, we're here!" After parking the car steadily at the entrance of the Shanghai Hotel, the rickshaw driver turned around and said to Li Qiang. However, after waiting for a long time, Li Qiang didn't get any response, so he plucked up the courage.
I shouted a few more times, "Boss! Boss? Are you okay? We're here!"
Only then did Li Qiang finally come to his senses, "Ah? Oh, we're here! How much is it?"
"Wu Jiao! Boss, the way you looked just now scared me to death. I think your face doesn't look good. Are you okay?"
"I'm fine." As he said that, Li Qiang took out a ten-yuan French currency from his pocket and stuffed it into the driver's hand. Then he got out of the car and walked straight away without waiting for him to give him change.
Entered the hotel.
As soon as we entered the hotel, we were immediately greeted by a waiter, "Are you Mr. Ming?"
Seeing Li Qiang nod, the waiter immediately took him respectfully to the door of a luxurious private room and knocked gently on the door of the private room.
After a short time, the door of the private room opened from the inside, and then Takagi walked out. Under the surprised eyes of the waiter, he bowed slightly to Li Qiang and said respectfully: "Mr. Ming, Chief Fujita and Nanzo
The section chief has been waiting inside for a long time, please!"
