Seeing that the atmosphere at the scene was not right, Mr. Du next to him was such a shrewd man, and he immediately laughed and said: "Haha, Lilong, don't get me wrong, the scholar is afraid that Jixian and I will be worried, and doesn't want us to worry about their danger on the battlefield.
So I never told us about it. When you said this, the scholar's good intentions were in vain."
Although Mr. Du said this, he had already guessed the reason for Zhou Wen's anger.
It turns out that the reason why Xiao Zhou didn't tell him and Junior Brother Su was that he was worried that Junior Brother would be in danger after seeing Zhang Xiaoping go to the battlefield many times, and he was worried that his precious daughter would be in danger of becoming a widow if she got married, so he did not agree with the marriage between Zhang Xiaoping and Su Yaqin.
Haha, this Xiao Zhou, I never see him getting angry easily, but now he is angry about this matter. He really cares and protects his brothers. However, some care will cause chaos.
Don’t you think about how powerful you are now and how much weight you have with the principal? Not to mention ordinary people, even those powerful officials in the top ranks of the Republic of China. Who would be willing to offend you for no reason?
Big insect.
What's more, Junior Brother Su's beloved daughter is already in a relationship with your adjutant, but they are not getting along. As long as you come to propose marriage in person, does Junior Brother Su still have any reason or confidence to refuse?
As for danger, what profession is not dangerous in these troubled times? In the past few years, didn’t our Youth Gang still fight for territory every day on the streets? Is it possible that we should not marry wives or daughters just because of the danger?
He didn't know that Zhou Wen looked at this issue from the perspective of later generations and fell into a misunderstanding.
When Mr. Du came out to smooth things over, Daili, who was like a dragon spirit, naturally borrowed the donkey from Poxia and beat him up himself and said: "Haha, look at my mouth, I have let down your good intentions, scholar. It's my boss."
That's not the case. How about I set up a table at the Chinachem Hotel tomorrow, one to welcome Shihe, and the other to apologize to the scholar?"
Zhou Wen also knew that now was not the time to argue with Dai Lilong, as he might even be caught by this old spy.
You know, Zhou Wen didn't want irrelevant people to know about Zhang Xiaoping and Su Yaqin, let alone Dai Lilong, a conspirator who could explode rocks into oil.
Zhou Wen calmed down his anger, turned around and apologized to Adjutant Wang: "I'm sorry, I lost my temper."
Although Adjutant Wang doesn't have many opportunities to deal directly with Zhou Wen, he has heard a lot and knows Zhou Wen's temper. He knows that he has a calm personality and will not get angry easily. But since he is angry, there must be a reason for getting angry, but it is just not known to others.
.
But Adjutant Wang's heart must be towards Zhou Wen, and he felt a little unhappy with Dai Lilong in his heart.
I don't want you to come, but you have to come with me, and you actually become a bad guest. The point is, now is the time when the principal wants to try his best to win over Zhou Wen. It's fine that you can't help when you come, but you are really adding to the trouble. Bad.
If you get involved in the principal's important matter, I'm afraid you won't be able to live a good life.
Thinking of this, Adjutant Wang waved his hand and said: "Forget it, I have some important things to do tomorrow morning. We will go back to Nanjing tomorrow afternoon. There are still a lot of things waiting at home."
Dai Lilong was a little dumbfounded when he heard this. He had originally planned to have a few days of fun with Adjutant Wang in Shanghai.
It was a rare opportunity to get close to the people around the principal, so he was very motivated to perform well.
But he didn't know that they were leaving tomorrow, which caught him off guard.
Moreover, Dai Lilong came to Shanghai this time by taking the opportunity of escorting Adjutant Wang. He originally planned to beat Weng Minghui in person and reward Chen Qiang, so as to consolidate his absolute rule over Shanghai District.
You know, Dai Lilong is now the director of the Secret Service, and he cannot leave the Nanjing headquarters easily unless he encounters some special circumstances. The principal needs to consult any intelligence information, and he may be summoned to report at any time.
Moreover, as the head of the Chinese intelligence agency, for security reasons, his status is not suitable for patrolling in Shanghai, the forefront of the intelligence front against Japan.
A heavyweight like him has long been the focus of Japan's attention and the target of elimination. If anything goes wrong in Shanghai, it will inevitably be a heavy loss to the Chinese intelligence community.
So this rare opportunity to go to Shanghai, Dai Lilong must have wanted to take advantage of it.
However, now he has no choice no matter how reluctant he is, because this time his role is just that of a follower and bodyguard, and Adjutant Wang is in charge.
Fortunately, Dai Lilong knew his duty and quickly adjusted his mentality. He first apologized to Zhou Wen again, then smiled apologetically at Zhang Xiaoping, and then accompanied Adjutant Wang to the car parked at the door.
As landlords, Mr. Du and Su Jixian had to accompany Adjutant Wang throughout the whole process, so they naturally left together.
After watching the two cars disappear from sight, Zhou Wen walked back to the living room with Miaohua and the others.
Seeing everyone looking at him, Zhou Wen smiled slightly and said: "Let Sister Ying make us a pot of good tea. I will tell you the purpose of Adjutant Wang's coming. By the way, I can also think about the recent things on our side.
.”
In fact, no one needed to greet them. As soon as Zhou Wen and the others sat down, Zhao Ying walked in with a teapot, poured a cup for everyone, and quietly walked out, closing the living room door.
This was also specifically explained by Zhou Wen. Other servants in the mansion were not allowed to enter any room in the mansion except for cleaning. Zhao Ying was usually responsible for serving tea and water.
This is not to say that there is anything wrong with the servants in the mansion. These people are all honest people from the countryside who have been personally selected by Zhao Ying. They are all hard-working and quick, and they also have their own track record.
But Zhou Wen's affairs are all confidential and should not be known to outsiders. If they are afraid of being overheard and accidentally leaked by some fast-talking servant, there will always be a lot of trouble.
Seeing Zhou Wen leisurely serving tea and drinking it slowly, while everyone was eagerly waiting for him to speak, Miaohua knew that this guy was showing off again, so she snorted and ignored him, and continued to drink tea.
But he knew in his heart that allowing Zhou Wen to have such a joking mood meant that Adjutant Wang's visit would not be bad news.
Of course Zhao Xiaojin and Zhang Xiaoping knew Zhou Wen's temperament, so they naturally smiled and drank tea without saying anything. Anyway, Zhou Wen would have to say it sooner or later? Now that he was rarely in such a narrow-minded mood, there was no harm in playing with him.
This made Zhou Wen feel a little uncomfortable.
Are these senior brothers and sisters so understanding now? Why don’t they even have anyone to praise them? At least someone asked me, so I can step up to the next level, right?
Seeing that even Zhang Xiaoping, who was usually the most obedient, was drinking tea with his head down, and he could clearly feel that this kid was grinning evilly in his stomach, Zhou Wen had no choice but to cough to cover up his embarrassment. When he was about to speak, he saw that the closed door of the living room was hit hard by someone.
