Song Dinghai was about forty years old at this time, tall and loud, perhaps because the war was too hard. When Chen Yiyan stood next to her second brother, she could see the white hair on Song Dinghai's head. Song Dinghai was wearing a yellow and green military uniform, and was surrounded by a beautiful lady wearing a dark green cheongsam. That was his wife Xu Yueying.
Song Dinghai and Xu Yueying are a couple who have to rewrite the previous one in the history of China. Song Dinghai smiled and said to his second brother: "I have been in contact with Mr. Jiucheng for a long time, but this is the first time I have met!"
The second brother held his hands tightly with him and said, "I am very happy that Commander Song can come."
Song Dinghai said: "You send me a post and I'm here no matter how I'm here." Then the two introduced the people around each other. When they introduced Chen Yiyan, the second brother said: "This is the sister of the woman. Chen Yiyan. The woman of the woman of the woman of the woman of the woman of the woman of the woman of the woman of the woman of the woman of the woman of the woman of the woman of the woman of the woman of the woman of the woman of the woman of the woman of the woman of the woman of the woman of the woman of the woman of the woman of the woman of the woman of the woman of the woman of the woman of the woman of the woman of the woman of the woman of the woman of the woman of the woman of the woman of the woman of the woman of the woman of the woman of the woman of the woman of the woman of the woman of the woman of the woman of the woman of the woman of the woman of the woman of the woman of the woman of the woman of the woman of the woman of the woman of the woman of the woman of the woman of the woman of the woman of the woman of the woman of the woman of the woman of the woman of the woman of the woman of the woman of the woman of the woman of the woman of the woman of the woman of the woman of the woman of the woman of the woman of the woman of the woman of the woman of the woman of the woman of the woman of the woman of the woman of the woman of the woman of the woman of the woman of the woman of the woman of the woman of the woman of the woman of the woman of the woman of the woman of the woman of the woman of the woman of the woman of the woman of the woman of the woman of the woman of the woman of the woman of the woman of the woman of the woman of the woman of the woman of the woman of the woman of the woman of the woman of the woman of the woman of the woman of the woman of the woman of the woman of the woman of the woman of the woman of the woman of the woman of the woman of the woman of the woman of the woman of the woman of the woman of the woman of the woman of the woman of the woman of the woman of the woman of the woman of the woman of the woman of the woman of the woman of the woman of the woman of the woman of the
Song Dinghai and Xu Yueying both looked at Chen Yiyan. Chen Yiyan was wearing a purple-red cheongsam embroidered peony flower today. She was always low-key and rarely wears such a gorgeous color. However, Huang Weitian said that she was the hostess of this party and naturally she should dress up beautifully. Chen Yiyan always obeyed her opinions in this regard, and also wore the jade bracelet that Xue Renai gave her a few days ago. Her hair was simply folded up, and a jade hairpin that Mr. Huang gave her back was inserted in the back. It was simple and generous. She smiled at the two of them. The red-lipped beauty was so beautiful.
Song Dinghai's eyes were very bright. Chen Yiyu had seen him twice in his previous life, and he also met him at his second brother's party. Song Dinghai wanted to make friends with his second brother for both lives. At this time, he was not full of strength, so he was naturally very close to his second brother.
Xu Yueying smiled and said, "I have heard of this Miss Chen's name. Who doesn't know Chen Yi-chan's name in Pingcheng? I sued the Ministry of Industry and Commerce by submitting a complaint to the Shaffer government. This kind of thing was done by such a beautiful lady. It really surprised me."
When Song Dinghai heard Xu Yueying say this, he said with interest: "Oh?"
Xu Yueying said: "Why, don't you know this news yet? The Ta Kung Pao has reported it."
Song Dinghai said: "During that time, I was on the battlefield in Guangxi and didn't have time to read newspapers. I'm sorry." He said to her again: "Then come and introduce it."
Chen Yiyan smiled and said, "This is not worth talking about, it's just a matter that I have the truth, but because I was the first person to do this, I was too exaggerated by the newspaper."
Xu Yueying said to Song Dinghai: "Ms. Chen really sued the Ministry of Works, and the order from Shaffer Court has been dropped." She smiled with a delicate lips: "You think Miss Chen is powerful?"
When Song Dinghai heard this, he smiled and stretched out his hand at Chen Yi-chan and said, "Miss Chen, on behalf of the people, I would like to express my gratitude to you for your courage."
Chen Yiyan also quickly reached out and Song Dinghai said: "I hope that more courageous and wise ladies like Miss Chen will appear in our country."
Xu Yueying joked beside her: "You have to be so beautiful!" Everyone laughed.
After the introduction of the main guests of both parties, they began to introduce their close companions behind them. Behind Song Dinghai was a tall and handsome young man wearing glasses, about the same age as Wang Shouyun. When Song Dinghai introduced to his second brother, "This young man is Chu Fengsheng, director of our Guangdong-Guangzhou Department of Commerce."
The second brother said, "I heard about Director Chu's fame and talent. When I saw him today, I realized that he was such a handsome young man. Unfortunately, my daughter is still young, otherwise I would have wanted to marry her daughter to him."
Song Dinghai also smiled: "Talented men love talented girls, Chu Chu Yu's heart is so high."
Xu Yueying said: "Yes, it's a pity that Miss Chen is already a famous flower and has a master. Otherwise, a knowledgeable and capable lady like Miss Chen would be just right with Natsuyu."
At this time, Wang Shouyun, who was standing next to his second brother, smiled and said, "Senior Chu Yu, I'm the best move first!"
Chu Fengsheng had seen Wang Shouyun a long time ago. They were both alumni when they were studying in the United States. Chu Fengsheng had already given Wang Shouyun several glances just now. They hugged each other as soon as they met. It was obvious that they had a good relationship when they were in the United States.
The second brother said, "Come on, I haven't introduced this yet..."
Song Dinghai said, "No need to introduce this. We have been having a good time with each other for a while, Major General Wang Shouyun?"
Wang Shou said: "Commander Song!"
Song Dinghai said: "As your enemy, I am really afraid of you when I interact with you on the battlefield, but as your friend, I must be very relieved, because Major General Wang's way of fighting is very steady. People say that wine is based on character, I am based on character, and I am based on character. When I see Major General Wang today, it turns out that he is a young talent."
Chu Fengsheng said: "Suiqing is not only an outstanding general who graduated from the US military academy, but also a top student at Wangjing University and Columbia University, and commander."
Song Dinghai smiled and said to Wang Shouyun: "Major General Wang, I admire you very much. I wonder if I can invite you to have a meal after the banquet?" He also said to Chu Fengsheng: "When the time comes, you will be with me. You brothers haven't seen each other for a long time, right?"
After he said this, Wang Shouyun naturally responded with a smile on his face.
After the group introduced each other, they divided the guests and the host to sit down in the living room. This party with a relatively small range was held at Chen Yiyan's house because the second brother said: "If the chef from Jiahe is not good at using things to me, it is better to do it directly with you."
Chen Yiyan naturally agreed, so Song Dinghai and his group came to Chen Yiyan's house. Zhang Shaobai was also invited to attend this party with a strong political flavor. As a person with a little bit of thin profile and both sides, he also had the meaning of smoothing out the situation for everyone.
Zhang Shaobai is a character on the scene. Today he is still wearing a half-old long gown, and his hair has been cut a lot shorter. He has gained a little weight recently. I guess he has become the number one person in Pingcheng Baixiang, so he looks a little round. Although Zhang Shaobai has the least knowledge among the people here, his routine on the scene is not bad at all.
Zhang Shaobai knew Song Dinghai before he became famous. The two spoke with a little casual conversation that others did not have. If Chen Yiyan had not known this relationship, others would not know about it. Therefore, Zhang Shaobai was also surprised when he received Chen Yiyan's post. However, he naturally attended the event when he thought of having the opportunity to have more contact with the largest bankers and chaebols in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
One of the biggest reasons why he wanted to pursue Chen Yiyan was to use her connections to open up this circle. Now, as Chen Yiyan's friend, he can slowly penetrate into this circle, which naturally makes him very happy. The friendship between them is the deeper friendship.
The bankers also brought their wives. The wives were sitting around Xu Yueying in the small living room of Chen Yiyu's house chatting, and the men sat in the large living room next to them to drink tea. The servants of Chen Mansion were interspersed in it from time to time to serve tea and water. The chef kept delivering Chen Mansion's private snacks. A French authentic macaron made Xu Yueying, who had studied in France, praised him very much, and said: "This taste reminds me of the taste I had eaten in France. It was very delicious."
Xu Yueying and Chen Yiyan exchanged their experience of studying abroad. Very few of the wives here went abroad to study. They were older than Chen Yiyan and Xu Yueying. At that time, few women could study abroad, so naturally they couldn't talk much to Xu Yueying. Moreover, Xu Yueying was obviously more interested in Chen Yiyan. After all, Chen Yiyan's second brother was the vague leader of Jiangsu and Zhejiang bankers. Chen Yiyan was also the close lover of Wang Shouyun who Song Dinghai wanted to win over. These relationships made Xu Yueying want to have a good relationship with her. When people are familiar, many things will make her open their mouths.
Chen Yiyan naturally knew the purpose of the couple's party, and she was very comfortable talking about topics between ladies. She was generous and gentle, and had a sense of simplicity and heroism that ordinary women did not have. It was easy to get favors between women. So after chatting for a long time, Xu Yueying also had a good impression of Chen Yiyan and said, "When Lao Song invited Major General Wang, Miss Chen would come too."
The meal started soon. Chen Yiyu asked the chef to make some specialties, but he did not make dishes like "Bald Cypress" that cost more ingredients. He only made some dishes such as roasted sea cucumbers, scattered fish fillets, fried prawns, eight-treasure duck, scattered bowls, braised abalone and other dishes. The style of the dishes was also better looking and not too extravagant.
Song Dinghai glanced at the table. Although he did not make rare birds and strange animals, he also collected all the birds and beasts, big fish and shrimps. It was a more sincere meal at the family banquet. He thought that before he arrived, Xu Yueying said in the car: "I have heard that Chen Gongguan's private dishes are quite famous, so I'll ask your blessing to have a meal this time."
Song Dinghai also said: "If you like it, we will come to that chef."
Xu Yueying said: "You went this time to borrow money from others, but it's not easy to ask for their chef again."
Song Dinghai said: "What else should I call this small matter? What's the matter between conversations."
Xu Yueying waved her hand and said, "It's such a small matter. Let's talk about it later. Besides, the chef at home knows my habits. If you change another one, you have to teach me again, forget it."
Song Dinghai moved the chopsticks, and everyone followed him. Song Dinghai took a bite and said, "I have heard of Chen Gongguan's private dishes for a long time. I also thought this duck looked plain, but I didn't expect it to taste so good."
He also said: "Miss Chen is so kind and kind, Major General Wang is so lucky."
Wang Shouyun said: "Yes, it is my blessing to marry Jiahe."
Xu Yueying said: "I wonder where your wedding will be held?"
Wang Shouyun glanced at Chen Yiyu and said, "We have not yet discussed the wedding date."
Song Dinghai said: "If we are still in Pingcheng, we must come and ask for a glass of wedding wine."
Wang Shou said: "It must be certain."
After everyone had dinner, the men began to talk about serious things. Everyone knew what Song Dinghai's purpose was today, but these bankers and rich people from the Jiangsu and Zhejiang chaebols may not be willing to take Song Dinghai's trick. Today we are just meeting to try the depth.
Chen Yiqiong remembered that he told his second brother the day before yesterday that Song Dinghai was unreliable, "The birds are hidden, and the rabbits are dead and the dogs are cooked. Don't you not know about it, right?"
My second brother was smoking a pipe at the time and said, "I abandoned politics and business, but I felt that the former government was too corrupt and not suitable for developing my ambitions. But the central bank where I am must be inseparable from politics. In fact, I should have been on the side for a long time. Now when Song Dinghai appears, it is just a step for me."
The second brother said again: "In China today, only his army inherited the democratic army. I have sent people to contact the southern army. I will not disturb the people, recruit soldiers on the spot, disturb the people, and even pay the soldiers food and salary. It is the best among all warlords."
Chen Yiyi thought of her second brother's experience in her previous life, and Song Dinghai defeated her second brother after she was full of wings. Her second brother resigned from her position as a central bank in anger and was later appointed as a member of the government cabinet. But for her second brother, what's the use of leaving the financial world he loves?
The second brother said, "Jiahe, although you are a girl, I also think you are a man. War requires money. Whether it is Song Dinghai or Zheng Yuanshan who lives under him, they will come to me, because behind me not only is there a central bank, but also a bank chaebol in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Who do we support and who will give money will give a different development of an army. If we have money, we can pay military salaries, buy weapons, and even bribe political enemies. If I choose a warlord like Xu Weihe or Zou Shixiong, how long will it last for our country's war?"
"Although I represent a group of interests, I also represent the conscience and expectations of all of us. There are more and more refugees in Pingcheng, and the severe drought in Guangxi will produce more people who starve to death. You always donate money, but donations can solve temporary difficulties and cannot solve the problems of this country. What I have done is to follow my conscience and the trend of this era. As for me personally... it is no longer so important."
A few days after the banquet, Zheng Yuanshan, the former commander of the Northwest warlords and the current commander of the Second Army of the Southern Army, invited his second brother to have dinner with these bankers. After they attended the banquet, several bankers were blackmailed and kidnapped. Later, although the people were rescued, they all paid huge amounts of security.
Chen Yiqi and Zhang Shaobai continued their Western medical school and pharmaceutical factory after the New Year. The venue and personnel were already in place, and the school started in just a few days. The two of them still wanted to wait until these warlords left Pingcheng before starting school quietly, and they did not want to be targeted by these people at the beginning of the school.
Chen Yiqi and Zhang Shaobai left the rented school. Chen Yiqi whispered to Zhang Shaobai: "Brother Zhang, there is a saying that you don't think I'm too talkative. Being used as a gun is a bit different from what a smart person like you do."
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the group of bankers who had contacted Zheng Yuanshan were kidnapped, if it were not for the local gangs in Pingcheng, they would not have done such a quick way. The people from the Axe Gang and Song Dinghai have never been dealt with, and they would not have done anything for Song Dinghai. Besides Zhang Shaobai, the most powerful gang in Pingcheng, who else could do such a thing?
Zhang Shaobai said in a lower tone: "Everyone is involuntarily."
Chen Yiqian said: "How will a person like you evaluate you, the official and unofficial history of future generations? I thought you were a person who was both righteous and heroic in this troubled time."
Zhang Shaobai smiled bitterly: "Xia, I can't afford to be it..." and then sighed.
The next day, Chen Yiqi followed Wang Shouyun to the invitation of Song Dinghai and came to the Western Hotel for dinner. After this meal, Wang Shouyun officially became the commander of the Fourth Division of the First Army, gathering the original soldiers of the Fourth Division and the soldiers brought out by Wang Shouyun from Zou Shixiong to form the new Fourth Division.
This year, Wang Shouyun was twenty-nine years old and became the youngest division commander in the entire army.
