"Please, please..." After listening to Dong Jianchang's words, Shen Zui said hurriedly.
Ye Xiufeng glanced at Shen Zui with disdain, as if he was disgusted with his expression of trying to please everyone, but even so, he did not dare to say anything. After all, Dong Jianchang's qualifications were there. After all, this is a military representative, so I still have to give him some face.
"Before we leave, we still have to say ugly things in front of us. The purpose of our trip is to inspect, not to unearth traitors, nor to clean up the party. So I hope you can correct your attitude, be cautious in your words and deeds, and focus on eliminating the influence of rumors. If If it is confirmed that the rumors are true, Dong must pursue them to the end and will never tolerate them. On the contrary, Miss Peng."
Having said this, Dong Jianchang raised his eyes and said to Peng Shuhui: "Please report truthfully, clarify the rumors, and bring peace to the people."
Only then did the iceberg beauty finally react, but she just nodded.
"Very good. In that case, everyone please go back and prepare. We will meet at Xiushan Airport at eight o'clock tomorrow morning."
…
After leaving Huangshan Villa, Li Qiang did not return to his residence immediately, but drove to Zheng Jiemin's mansion.
However, the person who received him was not Zheng Jiemin himself, but his wife, "What a coincidence, Yaoquan just happened to be out on business. I'm sorry, Mr. Li's trip was in vain."
"Mrs. Zheng, you are so polite. I am new here. Thanks to Mr. Zheng for generously lending me his car, which has provided me with great convenience. It is no exaggeration to say that without this car, I would not have been able to make this trip to Chongqing." It’s really all for nothing.”
With that said, Li Qiang handed two large boxes of beautifully packaged snacks to Mrs. Zheng.
However, as soon as she saw the two snack boxes, Mrs. Zheng couldn't hide her disappointment, but even so, she still had to say, "Oh, Mr. Li, you came right here, why did you bring something with you?" "
"As you should, if you receive a favor from someone, you should repay it with a spring. Mr. Zheng gave me a peach, and I will naturally repay him with a plum!"
Hearing this, Mrs. Zheng couldn't help but think to herself: Huh! What you say is better than what you sing. If you really have that heart, you should be more practical!
However, just when she was about to take the two snack boxes off the coffee table, something strange happened. Mrs. Zheng was embarrassed to find that the two seemingly ordinary boxes were terribly heavy. , it sank so much that I couldn’t lift it at all!
"Here is..."
"It's just some local specialties. They don't look big, but they are quite filling. I hope Mrs. Zheng likes them."
Although Mrs. Zheng was greedy for money, she was not stupid. She could naturally guess what such a small but substantial thing was, so she almost immediately put on a smile and said hypocritically: "Actually, our family, Yaoquan, has always been... He is willing to help others without expecting anything in return. If it weren't for your sincerity, I would never accept it. When he comes back, I'm afraid he will lose his temper with me again."
"Mr. Zheng is a role model for our generation in being upright and upright." After saying that, Li Qiang took out the keys to the Cadillac and put them on the coffee table. "Now that this matter is over, it is time for the property to be returned to its original owner." .”
"Oh? So, Mr. Li is ready to leave the mountain city?" Mrs. Zheng couldn't help but asked curiously.
"I may stay for a few more days, but I'm very sorry that I couldn't say goodbye to Mr. Zheng in person. I can only ask Mrs. Zheng to convey it on my behalf."
"Mr. Li, you can rest assured. I will definitely help you bring your wishes."
"In that case, I'll take my leave!"
Mrs. Zheng nodded after hearing this, and then called the housekeeper to politely send Li Qiang out the door.
However, as soon as Li Qiang left, Zheng Jiemin walked out of the study, looked at the two boxes of golden gold bars, and said with a proud face: "How about it? I just said this favor, let's not help it in vain, right?"
Mrs. Zheng was already grinning from ear to ear, "Don't tell me, that guy was really generous."
"Of course, if it wasn't for my arrangement, how could he have gotten in touch with the Kong family so easily?" Zheng Jiemin said with a proud look on his face, and then changed the subject, "But again, I'm saying this again
, this guy is really quite capable, I’m afraid most people really can’t do that. I heard that even Mrs. Chiang once invited him to the Huangshan Villa?"
"Really?" Mrs. Zheng said with disbelief.
"Of course it's true. Because of this, we should maintain a good relationship with him. I have a hunch that sooner or later, this relationship will be put to great use!"
…
"How's it going? Is there any news from Boss Dai?" Li Qiang asked as soon as he returned to his residence.
Haitang shook his head and said, "No, both Shulu and the headquarters are as calm as ever."
Hearing this, Li Qiang fell into deep thought and didn't know what he was thinking.
After a long time, Haitang finally couldn't help but ask: "What are you thinking about?"
"I'm wondering if I should let you stay in Chongqing..."
"I don't want it!" Before Li Qiang could finish his words, Haitang flatly refused.
Li Qiang straightened his face and said seriously: "Begonia, now is not the time to be willful."
"How can this be called willfulness? You don't even think about what will happen if you leave me behind? It doesn't make any sense at all!"
Li Qiang wanted to say something more, but found that he could not find any reason to refute.
Haitang took the opportunity to comfort him: "Okay, you, caring leads to chaos. In fact, I think things are not as bad as you think. After all, he is the eldest brother. He has been lurking in the enemy camp for so many years. He has never seen any big storms.
?Besides, he’s not alone, isn’t there Sister Manchun by his side? You think the Central Government has not made any big moves, so it shouldn’t be a big problem.”
Hearing what Haitang said, Li Qiang relaxed a little, and then nodded in agreement and said: "You're right, I'm too nervous. In that case, it's not too late to take care of the matter.
So that you won’t be in a hurry tomorrow morning.”
"Um!"
There was no talking all night, and the two of them arrived at Xiushan Airport early the next morning.
This airport, located deep in the Wuling Mountains of Chongqing, was built after the Battle of Changsha began and the Nationalist Government responded to the threat of the Zhijiang Airport in western Hunan being threatened by the Japanese army's westward advance. Its purpose was to serve as a backup airport for the Zhijiang Air Force Base.
Although it is a backup airport, the total planned area is still more than 900,000 square meters. For this purpose, more than a thousand acres of fertile land have been requisitioned. Construction started in February of the 29th year of the Republic of China and lasted more than a year.
Still not finished.
"I deliberately chose to set off at such an airport under construction. It seems that the confidentiality level of this trip is not low!" Haitang couldn't help but said as soon as she got off the car.
Li Qiang smiled and said, "Of course. After all, Boss Dai and Xu Enzeng are sending their own confidants, and the leader is still a veteran of the party and state. Can the confidentiality level be lower?"
Just as he was talking, a sweet voice rang out, "Um... Sir, I'm sorry, how can I get to the terminal?"
As soon as these words came out, both of them looked back and saw that the person speaking was a childish girl, although her dress and the heavy camera hanging around her neck showed her identity as a reporter.
, but it is still difficult for people to combine the two.
"Little sister, did you come here with Miss Peng? Why did you run out alone?"
"I...I accidentally left my camera in the car, and then...then I couldn't find my way back." As she spoke, the girl started crying.
"Okay, okay, don't cry in a hurry, come with us, we will take you there."
"Really?" The girl's eyes lit up after hearing this, "That's great! Thank you!"
So the two of them took her and walked into the airport, chatting while walking, "By the way, I almost forgot to ask, what is your name?"
"Zhou Tao, just call me Tao Zi."
"Taozi? This name is quite easy to remember. So you belong to Miss Peng..."
"Assistant, Miss Peng asked me to follow her by name. How about it? Isn't it awesome? One day, I, Xiao Tao, will definitely become a great reporter like Miss Peng!"
"Well, that's right. I believe that as long as you can maintain this momentum, you should be able to."
"Really? I didn't expect you to be such a nice person! It's not like Miss Peng said at all..."
"What, you know who I am?"
"I don't know, but Miss Peng has been telling me to be careful since last night. None of the people traveling with me this time are good, so I must stay out of your way!"
"Uh..." Hearing this, Li Qiang felt speechless for a while. He didn't know whether it was because of Peng Shuhui's directness or Xiao Tao's innocence, but it made Haitang beside him almost laugh out loud.
Soon, the group arrived at the terminal smoothly.
"Xiao Tao! Where did you go? It was just to pick up a camera, why did you go so long?" As soon as she saw Xiao Tao coming back, Peng Shuhui immediately stepped forward and said with a slight reproach.
Xiao Tao didn't explain, just like a child who had made a mistake, lowering her head and biting her lips, tears kept rolling in her eyes. Anyone who saw that pitiful look would probably feel soft.
However, Peng Shuhui straightened her face and said angrily: "Don't think that I can't do anything to you if you do this. I won't let you do this! Tell me honestly, are you lost again?"
"No... no! Xiao Tao is just... just..." In desperation, Xiao Tao quickly pointed at Li Qiang with her hand, "I'm just leading the way for the two of them, yes, that's it!"
Seeing Xiao Tao's confident and confident expression, Peng Shuhui couldn't help but sigh, and after coldly saying "thank you", she took Xiao Tao away from the crowd.
"Don't worry, this beauty Peng is not targeting you, but she is like this to everyone. Even her colleagues in the same newspaper office will walk around when they see her. If it weren't for her really bad personality,
The title of the most beautiful reporter in the Republic of China must belong to her, which is a pity."
"You know her quite well!" Li Qiang glanced at Zhen Zhen, who came over to comment on Peng Shuhui, and said half-jokingly.
Shen Zui shrugged, "I can't help it. Who told me to eat this bowl of rice?"
After saying that, he greeted a young man who was busy not far away, "Zhongyi, Zhongyi! Come here!"
The young man responded quickly after hearing this, ran over quickly, nodded and bowed and said: "Director, you called me?"
"Who is this?"
"This is the section chief of the General Affairs Section of our General Affairs Department. His surname is Xu and his name is Xu Zhongyi. Although he is used to being lax on weekdays, he is still capable."
"Loyalty? What a good name!"
"Zhongyi, this is Mrs. Chiang's guest and the special commissioner of this inspection team. Mr. Li Qiang, Boss Dai specifically told me that after arriving there, all food, clothing, housing and transportation must be in accordance with the highest standards. If there is any neglect, I will take it. You’re asking!”
"Don't worry, Director. When we get there, my subordinates will arrange everything properly and won't neglect you in the slightest!"
Just as he was talking, a very discordant voice rang out, "Hey, you are calling yourself brothers and sisters all of a sudden? You are truly a kaleidoscope of military commanders! It is really an eye-opener for Mr. Ye!"
"Ye, you don't need to be so weird. Why, didn't you eat enough at Peng Damei's place just now?"
"you!"
"Ye Chu! Calm down, don't fall for this kid!" Just when Ye Xiufeng was about to get angry, the middle-aged man next to him who looked to be in his early thirties promptly reminded him. Let him calm down, snort, and walk away angrily.
"Who is that person?"
Shen Zui couldn't help but be stunned after hearing this, but he still replied truthfully: "Ye Xiufeng from Zhongtong! Didn't you already meet him in Pine Hall yesterday?"
However, Li Qiang waved his hand, "No, no, no, I'm asking the person next to him."
"You're talking about him. Gao Zhanlong, the leader of the Second Executive Team of the Central Unification Committee, is responsible for identifying and arresting dissidents within the party. Due to his relatively large power, most of the members of his team are arrogant. On the contrary, he, the leader, has always been Very low-key.”
Hearing this, Li Qiang nodded suddenly, and then gave Shen Zui a piece of advice, "If I were you, I should be more careful about that Gao Zhanlong instead of blindly irritating that Ye Xiufeng. The feeling that guy gives me is comparable to Then Ye Xiufeng is much more dangerous."
"Thank you, Mr. Li, for reminding me. I know it well, don't worry!"
Having said this, an adjutant in military uniform came over and cleared his throat, and then said loudly to everyone: "I'm sorry to inform you that due to the weather, our plane may not be able to take off on time as scheduled. .However, the commander has been actively communicating with the tower, and everyone is asked to be patient and wait patiently for further notice."
