"Accident? What accident?" Tetsuo Washo asked quickly after hearing this.
"Didn't I just say that? The Suppression Command has just made major personnel adjustments. Now I am no longer the Suppression Commander-in-Chief."
"What? Then..." Washo Tetsuo obviously did not expect such a change, and was immediately taken aback.
Tang Shengming hurriedly comforted him: "But don't worry, Your Majesty the Marquis, even though there was a little accident, the problem is not too big. As long as a few more necessary joints are opened, the matter can still go on smoothly."
!”
Jiuchao Tiefu is not a fool. He naturally knows that Tang Shengming is clearly trying to raise the price and take advantage of the situation. However, even so, he cannot fall out with him directly. Even if there is anger, he can only hold it in his heart. The feeling is not to mention too much.
Feeling uncomfortable.
"Okay, I can give you an additional 20%, but I'll give you three more days at most. Is that okay?"
"No problem, don't worry, Your Majesty the Marquis, I will definitely help you get things done within three days."
"Okay! Then it's settled!" After saying that, Tetsuo Gushiro waved his hand, "Here we go! Serve the food!"
…
"Are you curious, what exactly did Tetsuo Gushiro want me to do?" After having a delicious meal of authentic Japanese food, the two of them said goodbye and left. However, as soon as the car was halfway through, Tang Shengming suddenly
I asked unexpectedly.
This question made Li Qiang jump immediately and quickly denied it: "I don't dare!"
"What is there to be afraid of admitting? Curiosity is human nature! Besides, since I brought you here today, I have no intention of hiding it from you. Besides, this matter started because of you!"
"Because of me?" Li Qiang was completely confused. "Director, where did you start with these words?"
Tang Shengming smiled and said, "Do you still remember how you sow discord between Zhang Zuyin and Wang Tianxiang?"
Hearing this, Li Qiang immediately reacted, "So, the Marquis of Jiuchao is also looking for the Qiuzhuang treasure?"
"On the contrary, he wants me to erase the entire Qiuzhuang from the map of Hangzhou, so that all rumors about Qiuzhuang's treasures will be disproven!"
"Why is this?"
"You don't know this, do you? Don't look at the fact that Longchuan Feiyuan is already dead. Before his death, he insisted that Qiuzhuang had no treasure at all. However, the military department was always skeptical and even secretly sent people
I went to Qiuzhuang to investigate, and although I still found nothing, it brought a lot of trouble to Jiuchao Tefu, so I think he did this to completely cut off the thoughts of those who have ulterior motives!"
After hearing this, Li Qiang finally nodded thoughtfully.
Tang Shengming didn't want to think about it, but he said coldly, "Okay, now that you know the ins and outs of this matter, hurry up and implement it. Don't forget, you only have three days!"
"Me? But director, I don't even know how far this matter has progressed, so I have no way of starting!"
"Oh, isn't this simple? Anyway, we are moving to Suzhou soon, so we just take this opportunity to make two more trips."
"It's okay to make two more trips, but what happens when we get there?"
"When you get there, just be diligent and make more trips to Li Shiqun. I don't care what you do there, but you must stay for half an hour each time, and make at least two trips a day. Do you understand?"
"Ming...I understand." Although he still didn't know what kind of medicine Tang Shengming was selling in the gourd, Li Qiang still nodded and agreed, but then he quickly and carefully asked for instructions, "Well...director, in a moment
Can I ask you for leave?"
"Ask for leave?"
"Yes. I discussed it with Haitang and planned to take advantage of the reorganization of the headquarters to get married, so I wanted to go back to Shanghai to discuss the wedding with my elder brother. Don't worry, I promise to get married after everything is done.
Rush to Suzhou immediately without delaying your business."
"Getting married? That's a big deal! You said that you have just been promoted to deputy director, and you have a beauty in your back. How dare you take advantage of all the good things in the world by yourself!"
"I know that I am where I am today, all thanks to your cultivation, Director. It can be said that without your advice, I would not be where I am now. I..."
Before Li Qiang could finish speaking, Tang Shengming waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, you just need to keep some things in mind. You don't have to talk about them all day long. In fact, the reason why I mentioned you to the position of deputy director is also very simple.
, I just want to be a boss who cleans out the countryside, suppresses bandits, and recruits and reorganizes. To be honest, I don't have any interest in it. As long as you don't bother me with those messy things, it will be the greatest reward for me.
Already."
As soon as these words came out, Li Qiang immediately made Li Qiang dumbfounded. He had been making trouble for a long time. In his eyes, he was just a coolie who worked for him. When others were sharpening their heads and frantically competing for fame and fortune,
Not bad for him, but what he cares most about is how to be a hands-off shopkeeper!
But then I thought about it, even though he usually presented himself as a playboy who didn't do his job properly, fished at work, and his mind was full of eating, drinking and having fun, he had an extremely clear view of the officialdom. Even he had always been ignorant of himself
Li Qiang, who was extremely confident in his ability to maneuver both ways, looked like an inexperienced student in front of him. It was no exaggeration to say that it was basically a dimensionality reduction attack, and he was not in the same rank at all.
If Huang Xiansheng was the teacher who first helped Li Qiang establish his faith, and Nanmenying was the teacher who taught him secret agent skills, then Tang Shengming, regardless of his position, can definitely be regarded as someone willing to teach him how to survive in officialdom.
Teacher.
Although the two of them were not called master and disciple, as the contact time increased, the master-disciple relationship between the two became more and more obvious in the subtle contact.
One of the most illustrative phenomena is that I don’t know when Li Qiang no longer treated Tang Dynasty as he did at the beginning.
After returning to the headquarters, Tang Shengming approved Li Qiang's lie without saying a word.
Li Qiang did not dare to delay, and immediately called Haitang, and immediately returned to Shanghai without stopping.
"What did you say? Get married? Are you serious?" After hearing Li Qiang explain his intention, Minglou first subconsciously glanced at Haitang, who was sitting shyly next to Li Qiang, and then asked in surprise.
"Of course I'm serious! Can this kind of thing be a joke?"
After hearing this, Minglou quickly glanced around, then lowered his voice and continued to ask: "Have you said hello to Feng?"
"Isn't that what I'm telling you?"
"When did I become your superior?"
"Then I don't care, who made you my eldest brother?"
As soon as these words came out, Minglou couldn't help but frown, and said in a troubled manner: "Hey! I asked you, how come you have good things to do and don't think about me, but you come to me when you get scolded for violating discipline?"
Li Qiang acted matter-of-factly, "That's right! Otherwise, calling me big brother can't be in vain, right?"
"What if I refuse?"
"Will not!"
"That's not necessarily true!" Minglou laughed.
Li Qiang looked determined, "I bet you won't refuse unless..."
"Unless what?"
"Unless you don't want to read the letter that eldest sister gave you!" As he said that, he "conjured" a letter like a magic trick, and deliberately waved it in front of Minglou's eyes.
When Xiang Minglou saw this, instead of showing a trace of joy, he instantly became sullen and said, "A Qiang, you are just making trouble, you can't make such a joke!"
"Who are you kidding me? Let me tell you the truth! If Cheng hadn't taken the risk to go to Northern Jiangsu, my eldest sister might still be trapped in the mountains of Northern Jiangsu!"
"What did you say?" As soon as these words came out, Minglou suddenly became nervous, "Tell me quickly, what is going on?"
Li Qiang did not hide anything and recounted Acheng's previous experience to Minglou in detail.
After listening, Minglou hurriedly opened the envelope, and he breathed a long sigh of relief until he confirmed that it was written by Mingjing himself.
"I can't believe that so many things have happened in just one month. If it hadn't been for Acheng... By the way, where is Acheng? Why didn't he come back with you?"
"Are you talking about him? He still has a mission. I'm afraid he won't be able to come back in time to attend my wedding."
Minglou could naturally tell that there was something in Li Qiang's words. Although he felt it was a bit strange, he didn't say anything.
After a night of silence, Li Qiang took Haitang to Xiafei Road early the next morning.
Although Minglou was very reluctant, he still helped the two of them look for a "purple house" with a good reputation overnight.
"Young Master Aqiang, we're just two more intersections away. The eldest young master said that if you still have time after talking about the wedding ceremony, I'll let you go to the newly opened Ran Yun Cheongsam shop next door. I heard that the masters there not only
The craftsmanship is superb and the efficiency is high. I heard that one piece can be sewn in as fast as two and a half days..."
Uncle Da, who was in charge of driving, was chattering about Minglou's instructions. Suddenly, he was startled by Li Qiang's sudden voice, "Stop the car! Uncle Da! Stop the car quickly!"
Although he was a little confused, Uncle Da still slammed on the brakes. However, before the car came to a stop, Li Qiang directly pulled Haitang out of the car.
"Master Aqiang! We haven't arrived yet! Where are you going?"
"Aren't there just two more intersections? Got it, we can just go there by ourselves in a while, you can go back first!"
After saying that, he pulled Haitang and walked straight in the opposite direction.
Li Qiang's move, not to mention Uncle Da, even Haitang was confused at first. It wasn't until she followed Li Qiang back to the door of a store she just passed by that she finally understood his intention.
"Huadong Photo Studio? Shouldn't it be closed down long ago?"
Li Qiang stood silently at the door of the photo studio for a long time before finally saying, "Go in and take a look?"
"Okay!" After saying that, Haitang took Li Qiang's arm and walked in.
Jingle Bell--
"Welcome light..." As a crisp ringtone rang, a female voice also rang. But before she finished speaking, she was stunned for a moment, but she quickly came back to her senses and greeted again, "Welcome."
Come, are you two here to take photos?"
Although the woman reacted quickly, she still did not escape the eyes of the two of them. But even so, Li Qiang recognized at a glance that the female boss who spoke was someone else. She was Guo Qiyun's girlfriend Xiao Min.
!
But even so, Li Qiang still just saw through it and didn't say anything. He replied nonchalantly: "Oh, that's it. We are getting married and I want to take some photos with you."
Although Xiao Min felt that the Li Qiang in front of her looked very familiar at first, as if she had met him before somewhere, but since the two only met briefly when they left the scene after the assassination of Wang Furui on New Year's Eve, she could not be 100% sure.
He finally confirmed that Li Qiang was the person who drove to pick him up and Guo Qiyun.
In the end, just to be on the safe side, Xiao Min decided to continue as much as possible as she would treat a stranger: "Yes, yes, it's just that it takes a week to develop the photos, is that okay?"
"A week? It's just to develop photos, why does it take so long?"
"I'm sorry, sir, because I'm the only one here. I'm the boss and I'm the photographer. I'm open during the day and can only develop photos after closing at night, so there's no efficiency. If sir, you care about this.
If so, please find another place."
"Did I hear you right? You are the only one in such a big photo studio?" As he said, Li Qiang looked at the price list hanging on the wall again, "The charges are not higher than other photo studios, and I'm afraid I can't make money with such efficiency.
How much is it?"
However, before he finished speaking, Xiao Min blurted out and replied: "That's right, but I didn't open this photo studio to make money."
"If you don't open a store to make money? Then why?"
"For a promise, I promised him that I would wait for him to come back!"
"It seems like that person is very important to you?"
"It's very important, he is my fiancé."
"What's up with him?"
"He... disappeared. I searched all over Shanghai, but there was still no news. He once told me that his biggest wish in this life is to open his own photo studio in Shanghai. He even thought of a name.
It was called Huadong Photo Studio. So I took over this store and renamed it Huadong Photo Studio. I will wait here for him to come back."
As soon as these words came out, he somehow aroused Haitang's sympathy, "Oh! This damn world, I really don't know how many lovers have been torn apart! Ah... Brother Aqiang, how about... just one week, just one week, just one week
Take a photo here!"
At this time, although Li Qiang wanted to tell her the truth, on the one hand, he only knew that Guo Qiyun was out of danger before evacuating, and that was all, and had no idea about his current situation; on the other hand, he was also out of danger.
For security reasons, after all, Guo Qiyun has been identified as an anti-Japanese element. Even if Xiao Min has escaped from prison No. 76, he must still be under strict surveillance. Therefore, any slight change in mentality may be monitored by the agents.
awareness, and thus bring greater danger to oneself.
Thinking of this, Li Qiang had no choice but to suppress the urge to tell the truth. He tried his best to pretend that nothing had happened and nodded in agreement: "Okay, then I'll help this young lady take some wedding photos for us."
