"What do you mean?" After hearing Mrs. Jiang's words, Li Qiang was stunned and asked subconsciously.
However, Mrs. Jiang sighed, and then continued: "To tell you the truth, before you, that is, when General Huang's accident just happened, someone had already asked me the same question."
Speaking of this, Mrs. Jiang paused for a moment, and then she answered her own question and said, "Yes, that's your former young marshal, Zhang Hanqing."
"Then... what is your answer?"
Mrs. Jiang did not hide anything and said truthfully: "The answer I gave him at the beginning was, 'Don't be impatient, time will give you the answer.' But now, I'm afraid this answer has to be changed. As I just said, things
By now, it doesn't matter whether he is really flushed or not. Do you understand what I say?"
"You mean, during the period of detention, general him..."
Mrs. Jiang nodded. I think you know General Huang's temper. During the detention period, he naturally spoke fiercely and refused to cooperate. However, this gave Brother Chen an excuse to criticize, and even more so in various ways.
In public, it was deemed that he had become completely popular.”
Hearing this, Li Qiang's brows furrowed even more. He knew Huang Xiansheng's character very well, not to mention Brother Chen. Even if he took the chairman's warrant to ask him to come out, he would not be able to restore his reputation until his reputation was restored.
, he will not take the initiative to step out of the cage.
This is just a matter of character, and I will never make any changes because of anything or anyone.
But just when he was at a loss, Mrs. Jiang changed the subject, "But for the sake of Ling Wei, I can make an exception to help you. As for the outcome, it depends on whether you can convince him."
As soon as these words came out, Li Qiang seemed to see a glimmer of hope. He bowed deeply to Mrs. Jiang and said with tears of gratitude: "Thank you very much, Mrs. Jiang, for your kindness. I will repay you with a spring of water!"
"
"Okay, no more polite words. In a few days I will find a way to form an inspection team. At that time, you can go over and meet General Huang as a special commissioner. The rest is up to you."
While talking, Haitang saw the right moment and handed the gift to Li Qiang's hand naturally.
Upon seeing this, Mrs. Jiang deliberately turned her face into a straight face, pretending to be angry and said: "You come as you say, why do you bring anything with you?"
"Yes, I heard that Madam likes movies, so I asked Mr. Kong for help and got a sample film from a director that had just been shot but had not yet been released. It was a small kindness from me. Madam, please do it.
Take it."
After saying that, he put everything in his hands on the coffee table in front of Mrs. Jiang.
It has to be said that Mrs. Jiang is indeed an old smoker who has been a smoker for many years. Not only can she smell the smell of the cigarettes inside through the package, but she can even smell the brand. Then she couldn't help but say: "You guys.
, he really knows how to choose the right time. Fortunately, he is not here, otherwise I would have to be lectured by him again."
After hearing this, the two of them couldn't help but smile knowingly.
Mrs. Jiang then shouted towards the door: "Adjutant Weng!"
Before he finished speaking, Adjutant Weng, who had one hand outside the door, opened the door and walked in, "Madam."
"Call Mrs. Chen and Miss Fourth and invite them to come over for a casual dinner in the evening."
"yes!"
"Ah, besides, go to the Kong Mansion in person and bring Ling Wei over to me. Everything happened because of her. What does she look like without her?"
"Okay, ma'am, I'll do it now!"
It wasn't until Adjutant Weng left that Mrs. Jiang turned to Li Qiang and asked, "Can you play cards?"
Li Qiang scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "To answer Madam, my card skills are really not impressive. If Madam is really interested in this, can I ask my wife to accompany you to play a few games?"
"Of course. I haven't been in such a mood for a long time."
It was not long, only about half an hour later, two young and beautiful rich ladies came together. One of them heard her voice without seeing her, and as soon as she entered the door, she said to Mrs. Jiang affectionately: "Fuck you!"
Mom, why are you so interested in inviting us over for dinner today?"
The other one stood there politely and respectfully said hello to Mrs. Jiang.
Mrs. Jiang first glared at the lady with an angry look, coughed slightly, and then introduced to Li Qiang: "Mr. Li, let me introduce that this is the wife of Commander Chen Cheng."
After saying that, he glanced at the beautiful woman who was still standing where she was and said, "And this one is Miss Zhao Si, who is responsible for taking care of Han Qing's life."
As soon as these words came out, Li Qiang was shocked, but he quickly controlled his emotions, and tried to greet the two of them in a calm tone: "Mrs. Chen, Miss Fourth."
The two of them nodded in return. As for Li Qiang's identity, as long as Madam Chiang didn't tell them, they would not be stupid enough to find out. As long as they knew that he was Madam Chiang's guest, they would be fine.
So under Mrs. Chen's diligent assistance, a card game soon began.
However, before the first hand of cards was played, I heard a burst of cheerful footsteps outside the door. Then Miss Kong Er walked in in a suit and leather shoes. When she saw Mrs. Jiang, she immediately used a particularly soft tone and opened her mouth.
Called "Auntie".
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Jiang's thoughts at the moment seemed to be all focused on the game. She didn't even look at her and said coldly in a tone that was almost scolding: "Why are you standing there? Why don't you go get a cup of tea quickly?"
"
"Oh." Even Miss Kong Er, who was known as the Demon King in the outside world, instantly turned into a docile kitten in front of Mrs. Jiang, and poured the tea obediently without saying a word.
It was not long before Miss Kong Er walked in with the hot tea she had just brewed and said, "Auntie, please drink tea!"
"What can you do for me? I'm not thirsty!"
Miss Kong Er is not stupid, and naturally knows what Mrs. Jiang means. In fact, she noticed Li Qiang and his wife as soon as she entered the door, so this cup of tea is not that Mrs. Jiang wants to drink, but that she wants to make a tea ceremony to Li Qiang.
Thanks.
I have to say that Miss Kong Er is a person after all. Even though she was extremely reluctant, she knew in her heart that she could not refuse directly in front of so many people, so she had no choice but to hand the tea cup to Li Qiang.
In front of him, he said respectfully: "Mr. Li, please have tea!"
Li Qiang quickly took the tea cup with both hands and said in a row: "I don't dare to accept it. Thank you Miss Kong Er."
It was only then that Mrs. Jiang's face looked better. At the same time, she did not forget to lecture while playing cards: "You, you will only cause trouble for me all day long. If I don't punish you once, you will never have a long memory.
Haosheng is waiting by the side! Let’s see if you dare next time!”
"I don't dare anymore, auntie, I promise I won't do it next time!"
Li Qiang on the side curled his lips secretly after hearing this, and couldn't help but think to himself: What Miss Kong Er said sounded nice, but I'm afraid only she knows whether she will change it.
However, as the game progressed, Li Qiang vaguely felt that something was not right. Although he had told Haitang before coming here, once Mrs. Jiang came and wanted to play two cards, she should be careful not to win too much.
, we can’t lose too much, but as we continue to fight, we find that Haitang has more and more chips in his hands, and there seems to be a trend of three companies taking all.
Needless to say, the other two people must have seen Mrs. Jiang's intentions, and then they tried their best to cooperate, which led to the current situation.
This can't go on like this!
Thinking of this, Li Qiang coughed lightly and quietly poked Haitang's back. Unexpectedly, this move was caught by Mrs. Jiang.
"Mr. Li, you don't have to be like this. As the saying goes, there are no fathers and sons in casinos. Besides, playing cards is just for fun. Winning or losing depends on one's ability. Don't worry too much. It's just a few cards. I think I can still afford to lose."
"What Madam said is that I am worrying too much."
After a few rounds, Adjutant Weng walked in and said to Mrs. Jiang: "Madam, dinner is ready."
So at Mrs. Jiang's suggestion, everyone immediately put down the game of cards and came to the dining room in a crowd.
It can be said that not only is the decoration style of this Pine Hall fully Westernized, but the chefs are also from Europe and the United States. There are German sausages, French foie gras, Spanish steaks, Swiss cheeses, and Danish breads. Of course.
The most impressive thing is the smoked and roasted turkey with American characteristics that occupies more than half of the table.
This was the first time even Li Qiang, a man of two generations, had seen such a scene, let alone Haitang beside him, who was stunned.
Seeing this, Mrs. Jiang quickly smiled and said: "Mrs. Li, relax, I don't have so many rules here, just do whatever makes you feel comfortable."
Mrs. Jiang's words seemed to give Haitang a reassurance, and she quickly calmed down and gradually integrated into the atmosphere.
After eating the meal for more than an hour, Mrs. Chiang ordered people to rearrange the tables and chairs in the dining room to create a large space, then arrange the seats and move out the movie projection equipment.
Soon, the dining room was transformed into a home cinema, and everyone sat in front of the screen to wait. The movie shown was surprisingly the "Flying Tigers" brought by Li Qiang that had not yet been officially released!
At the beginning of the movie, the atmosphere in the dining room was still very relaxed, but as the plot gradually progressed, everyone was so absorbed that they forgot to talk.
Watching the fierce and handsome male protagonist in the movie leading a flying team, fighting in the canyon on the Sino-Indian border, fighting to the death with the Japanese fighter planes invading China; watching many experienced and resourceful pilots
Going to fight against a huge number of very cunning opponents. Everyone was sweating for them.
And when I saw that the protagonist in the movie had to deal with the interpersonal relationships in the team so that they could be closely united and encountered a series of difficulties and obstacles, it actually aroused the resonance of several people and couldn't help but nod in agreement.
, even until the end of the film, there was still some unfinished content.
Those ladies and ladies were like this, not to mention Mrs. Chiang who had grown up in the United States. After watching it, they naturally praised the content of the movie and even wanted to show it in the auditorium.
Crazy idea.
Mrs. Chen and Miss Zhao Si naturally tried their best to flatter her. Fortunately, Adjutant Weng was still calm and frightened and whispered a few words to Mrs. Jiang before giving up in frustration.
After looking at the time, Mrs. Chen and Miss Zhao Si wisely stood up and left late at night.
And just when Li Qiang was about to say goodbye and leave, he was stopped by Mrs. Jiang.
It wasn't until the irrelevant people left that Mrs. Jiang called Adjutant Weng over and asked, "Has that matter been done?"
"It's done. Deputy Director Dai has agreed to meet with Mr. Li again tomorrow, but..."
"But what?"
"It's just that Deputy Director Dai specifically asked me to convey it to Mr. Li on his behalf, saying that this time, Mr. Li must show enough sincerity, otherwise the result will not change."
"Did you hear that?" Mrs. Jiang turned to Li Qiang and said, "There's only so much I can help you with, and you have to rely on yourself for the rest."
"Thank you, Mrs. Jiang, for your help. I am deeply grateful."
"Well, I'm tired, Adjutant Weng, please send two of them off for me."
After saying that, he got up and went straight back to his room to rest.
Adjutant Weng responded quickly, then walked quickly to Li Qiang and said respectfully: "Please!"
On the way back, Li Qiang always looked solemn, and Haitang didn't ask any questions. She just sat quietly beside him without saying a word.
However, just when he was about to return to his residence, Li Qiang slowly stopped the car on the side of the road and asked out of the blue, "Begonia..."
"Um?"
"If it were me and someone labeled me a red hat, what would you do?"
"Then you still have to ask? Of course I'll find the guy who slapped the hat on me, and then tear his mouth open!" Haitang replied without thinking.
"Then what if it's not a slap in the face, but I'm really blushing?"
"I will be the first to expose you to Boss Dai!" Haitang replied, still straightforward.
Li Qiang couldn't help but smile bitterly after hearing this, "After all these years, you really haven't changed at all!"
Having said this, Li Qiang paused, and then continued to ask: "What next? Tie me to Boss Dai?"
"No, I will still stay with you."
"Why?"
"It's simple, because it's the duty of an agent to expose you, and it's the duty of a wife to stay with you."
As the saying goes, "Companyship is the longest confession of love." After listening to Haitang's words, it would be a lie to say that he was not touched at all. But in the end, Li Qiang sighed, shook his head and said, "Oh, I hope
It’s always beautiful, but reality often doesn’t give us too many options, and sometimes there are even no options at all.”
"What's wrong with you? Why are you so pessimistic all of a sudden? This is not like you at all!"
"It's nothing, it's just something I feel. Let's go back!" After saying that, Li Qiang restarted the car and returned to his residence...
