Chapter 395 Engagement Ceremony (please recommend and vote monthly)
"Sir Ming, I heard that you were assassinated just half an hour ago. Do you have anything to say about this?"
"Yes, Chief Ming, according to your opinion, who is the mastermind behind this assassination? Is it Chongqing, Yan'an, or someone else?"
"Sir Ming, I heard that No. 76 executed three anti-Japanese prisoners in retaliation yesterday. Do you think this assassination has anything to do with that incident?"
"Sir Ming! Sir Ming..."
…
Before the security team and No. 76 had finished clearing the scene, Minglou was surrounded by a swarm of reporters asking questions.
However, in the face of such a situation, Minglou, who was accustomed to seeing big scenes, naturally did not have stage fright. Instead, he calmly and calmly pressed his hands to signal everyone to be quiet. After everyone calmed down, he slowly said: "Everyone
Friends from the media, first of all, I personally appreciate your concern, but please understand that it is not convenient for me to reveal too many details about this assassination. But what is certain is that this is by no means an ordinary assassination;
A premeditated, planned and organized assassination operation!"
Before he finished speaking, another reporter asked: "Sir Ming, do you think this assassination will have a major impact on tomorrow's stock market?"
"This is a very good question, but please rest assured that although the economy of the new government is still recovering, it is not as fragile as you think. Of course, there will definitely be pain, but as long as I, the Economic Secretary,
If the deputy director-general is still here, the sky will definitely not fall down!"
After saying that, Minglou walked into the elevator surrounded by the newspaper reporters and went back to his room.
Early the next morning, major newspapers in Nanjing rushed to report on the assassination of Minglou. Not only that, they also focused on what he said in front of all reporters.
And not only Nanjing, but also newspapers in Shanghai also published relevant reports at the same time. In less than half a day, everyone knew about it.
Compared with these, what is even more incredible is that Shanghai's stock market, as Minglou expected, had a brief shock immediately after the opening, but then rose against the trend, and finally stabilized at
A pretty good high point.
In this way, Minglou's ability to accurately predict the stock market has naturally become a hot topic among financial professionals, and he has gained a large number of loyal fans.
It was not until the evening that Secretary Yu came to the Central Hotel and took Li Qiang and Minglou to Zhou Fohai's office.
As soon as he entered the house, Li Qiang noticed an unfamiliar face and couldn't help but secretly guess the identity of that person.
However, Zhou Fohai did not show any concern. After the two people came in, he was the first to introduce: "Come on, let me introduce to you. This is Li Shiyu of the Legislative Yuan, Commissioner Li. Tomorrow morning, he will serve as the special commissioner.
, I will return to Shanghai with you, and then go to Hong Kong as Chairman Wang’s representative to secretly contact the Fourth Young Master Tang. You must take good care of me along the way, so don’t neglect me!”
Before he finished speaking, Minglou quickly replied: "Don't worry, Mr. Zhou, my subordinates will definitely remember your instructions and take good care of Commissioner Li."
After hearing this, Zhou Fohai nodded with satisfaction, then turned to Li Qiang and said: "I almost forgot, Ah Qiang, considering that you made a great contribution in killing the enemy last night, it not only greatly dampened the arrogance of the anti-Japanese elements, but also created a good foundation for the new people."
The government and Chairman Wang have saved a lot of face, so they have granted you the rank of major. From today on, you will be the section chief of major."
Hearing this, Li Qiang was immediately overjoyed. He quickly bowed to Zhou Fohai and said respectfully: "Thank you, Mr. Zhou, for your cultivation!"
The whole night was silent, and early the next morning, the three of them took the train back to Shanghai together.
"Commissioner Li, I have booked a room for you in a Shanghai hotel according to Mr. Zhou's instructions. Would you like to go there now, or..." As soon as he got off the train, Minglou asked as if asking for permission.
Unexpectedly, Li Shiyu waved his hands repeatedly, "It's too ostentatious to stay in a hotel. Let's go to the secret service headquarters first!"
"Okay." Even though Li Shiyu rejected his kind offer, Minglou instead of being angry, instead accompanied him to the secret service headquarters with a smile on his face.
However, as soon as the car everyone was riding in arrived at the gate of the secret service headquarters, Li Shiyu simply asked Li Qiang, who was in charge of driving, to stop the car and got out of the car on his own.
Upon seeing this, Minglou quickly got out of the car and asked in confusion: "Commissioner Li, what are you..."
"Oh, it's nothing. It's just that this commissioner's mission is very important. If there is one less person involved, there will be less trouble. So, you two, please don't get involved. Please come back!"
"Hey, I said you..."
"Ah Qiang!" Li Qiang was about to say something when he was stopped by Minglou, "Commissioner Li is right, he is doing this for our own good."
As he spoke, he cupped his hands and said, "Commissioner Li, in that case, let's go back first. Say goodbye!"
Li Shiyu just nodded slightly and watched the two people leave before turning around and walking inside...
"Brother, it seems that the man named Li is determined not to let us interfere. Do you want to change the plan?" On the way back, Li Qiang said to Minglou sitting in the back seat while driving.
"There's no rush. It won't be too late to make further calculations after their contact in Hong Kong comes to fruition." After that, Minglou paused for a moment, and then continued as if he suddenly remembered something, "By the way, almost.
I forgot to tell you that you will find someone to help plan an engagement ceremony later."
"It doesn't need to be so grand, right? Brother, your brother and I are not a person who cares about ostentation. Just keep it simple."
Not wanting these words to come out, Minglou couldn't help but snorted, "Did I ever say that this engagement ceremony was prepared for you?"
"If it's not me, could it be you?"
"Why can't it be me?"
Li Qiang was completely stunned. It took him a long time to come back to his senses, and asked with his eyes widened: "Brother, are you going to get engaged to Wang Manchun? Aren't you afraid..."
"What are you afraid of? I am doing this to paralyze the enemy and better disguise myself! I believe that even if Boss Dai finds out, he won't say anything."
"Then...where are Haitang and I?"
"Wait a little longer!"
Hearing this, Li Qiang suddenly became anxious, "Are we still waiting? If we continue like this, aren't you afraid of arousing suspicion?"
"Don't worry, I know what's going on."
A few days later, Minglou pinched the very unique cufflinks on his sleeves in front of the full-length mirror in his room. He couldn't help but recall the scene when Mingtai was clamoring to buy him a shirt, and he couldn't help but smile at the corners of his mouth.
It evoked a nice arc.
"Brother, the guests are all here, why haven't you changed your clothes yet?" Li Qiang at the door kept urging while looking down at his watch.
However, Minglou still said unhurriedly while putting on his coat: "If you wait a little longer, no one will die, so what's the hurry?"
After saying that, he combed his hair meticulously, and then finally walked out of the room, making a shining appearance like the leading actor in a movie. Under the gazes of all the Ming family members and guests present, accompanied by congratulations one after another,
While smiling and nodding, accompanied by Li Qiang, he walked down the escalator in style and arrived at the center of the venue.
At this moment, someone shouted, "Miss Wang is here!"
Hearing the sound, everyone made way out of the way, and then Wang Manchun, wearing a white evening dress and looking like a little woman, appeared in front of everyone in shock.
The atmosphere in Ming Mansion was immediately pushed to a climax. At the same time, Ming Jing, who was far away in southern Anhui, was also in the room. He deliberately placed a photo of Ming Lou under the frame of the four siblings.
Next to the engagement photo was a bouquet of camellias that Mingtai picked from the mountain himself the day before.
It's almost dusk, and the sunset is gorgeous.
Minglou and Mingtang stood by the fountain of Ming Mansion, talking seemingly casually.
"I didn't expect that you were actually engaged to that girl from the Wang family. Aren't you afraid of making your eldest sister angry?" Mingtang, who had endured it all day, finally said unbearably.
I didn't want Minglou to shrug, "If that's really possible, I'd rather let her come back to life and give me a good scolding."
"Okay, it's my fault. If I don't open the pot, I'll make you feel sad again."
Ming Lou quickly shook his head, "It's not your fault, brother. I just haven't gotten used to it for a while. By the way, brother, how is Ming Jiaxiang's business recently?"
"Needless to say? The students in the concession have already started to hang banners everywhere and openly boycott our brand. The golden sign created by our ancestors has stinked in my hands. But there is a saying, this brand stinks.
It stinks, but the benefits of the Chamber of Commerce have doubled several times during this period, I really don’t know whether to cry or laugh.”
"Of course it's time to laugh." At this point, Minglou deliberately lowered his voice, "Don't forget, all you are making now is money from the Japanese and traitors."
Hearing this, Mingtang nodded in agreement and put a smile on his face again, "Listening to what you said, I feel much better!"
Minglou took a sip of wine and said casually, "By the way, brother, I heard that you recently purchased a large amount of grain and medicinal materials through the Chamber of Commerce. What, you don't plan to continue selling perfume?"
As soon as these words came out, Mingtang frowned, "Where did you hear that?"
"It's just hearsay. Judging from your reaction, is it true?"
"What's true? I don't even know what you're talking about." After speaking, Mingtang pouted in the direction of Wang Manchun as if he was deliberately changing the subject, "I said, you are not engaged to me.
Why are you hanging around me? Why don't you go over and ask your fiancée to dance? Otherwise, it will be spread out and say that the men of our Ming family have no gentlemanly manners at all!"
While Mingtang was talking, the sound of music also sounded at the right time. Minglou didn't know what to say and walked towards Wang Manchun and invited her to dance with her like a gentleman.
On the lawn, Ming Lou and Wang Manchun danced gracefully. The two coordinated each other's dance steps and had a perfect understanding. Their elegant and coordinated dance movements reflected harmony, beauty, nobility and elegance everywhere, which was dizzying to watch.
And just when everyone's eyes were attracted by the two people's perfect dancing skills, Li Qiang calmly came to Mingtang's side.
"The information you bought from that intelligence dealer has been confirmed to have been leaked from the base area." Mingtang spoke softly and quickly without looking away.
"The person who leaked the information..."
"Don't worry, I've been caught."
Hearing this, Li Qiang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good. Are there any new instructions?"
"Not yet."
Just as he was talking, a familiar voice suddenly sounded from behind Li Qiang, "Sorry to bother you, Chief Ming, can I spare a few minutes of your time?"
Although Li Qiang was feeling very unhappy at the moment, on the surface he still turned around and said to the man with a smile: "Counsel Sun? What, you have a problem with me?"
Staff Officer Sun nodded quickly and said, "Chief Ming, can you lend me a moment to speak?"
Li Qiang didn't think much after hearing this, and took him to a secluded corner, "That's it. Tell me, what do you want from me?"
Before he finished speaking, Staff Officer Sun said almost in a tearful tone: "Chief Ming, please look at the fact that we still have a little bit of friendship before, and give me a hand!"
"Give you a hand? Counselor Sun, you are the lieutenant colonel of the National Salvation Army. You are higher than me in both official position and military rank. How come you are asking for help on my head?"
"Hey! What a fucking lieutenant colonel staff officer. Once Commander He dies, my role as lieutenant colonel staff officer will be over."
Li Qiang became even more confused when he heard this, "Commander Sun, where did you start with these words? Is it possible that you have a problem with the guy who is about to take over the position of Commander He?"
Unexpectedly, Staff Officer Sun waved his hand again, "Of course not. To be honest, I have received the news in advance. The superiors are planning to take advantage of Commander He's murder to revoke the designation of the National Salvation Army and form the East China Suppression General. Not only will
To disrupt the original establishment, a large number of officers will be parachuted in, and all the original officers will be suspended and retained! However, it is said to be suspended and retained, but in fact it is no different from being dismissed. Do you think I can take it easy?"
"Even so, it's useless for you to come to me! You just said that this is a decision from above. What can I do?"
"No, no, no, Chief Ming, you misunderstood, I didn't mean that." Staff Sun explained quickly.
"Then what do you mean?"
"I know that Section Chief Ming will soon be the Chief of the General Affairs Section of the East China Suppression Headquarters, so...so I want to ask for a job under you..."
"I have to say that you are quite well informed, but as a junior in the General Affairs Department, I am afraid that I cannot accommodate a giant Buddha like you!"
"It can be accommodated, of course it can be accommodated. I have already thought about it before I came here. As long as you nod, I, Sun Kai, will be the only one who obeys you from now on. I will be loyal and will never betray!"
