Zhang Xiaolin retreated, Huang Jinrong took the initiative to reduce the tobacco business, and in line with the French Concession's "ban smoking" plan, the entire French Concession began to move towards "smoking-free zones".

The "no smoking" that has been called for more than ten years has actually made people see a day of success.

Of course, this is just a place in the French Concession, where opium smuggling and trading are still extremely rampant in other places except for the French Concession.

The French Concession is not allowed to do it, so go to the public Concession and the Chinese Concession.

There was no one who was comparable to his influence in Ji Yunqing's death. Naturally, the money fell and the money scattered, so the Japanese naturally wanted to find another partner.

Zhang Xiaolin made a comeback in western Shanghai. Anyway, he had already broken up with Ji Yunqing, and now Ji Yunqing is even more dead. Then any previous agreement would be ignored.

People die like lamps extinguishing.

The French Concession has become the safest place in Shanghai. Not only Chinese, but also European and American people living in Shanghai have flocked to the French Concession to buy property.

The value of Lu Xiyan's "Housing Project" plan suddenly soared several times.

He had won many land in the French Concession before, but now he could make a lot of money if he sold the land, but it was impossible to sell the land.

Selling a house can earn more.

In the same area, across the road, the house prices in the French Concession are much higher than those in the public Concession. After the French Concession's "ban on smoking", house prices and land prices fell a little at the beginning, but after the "ban on smoking" took effect, land prices and housing prices rose.

There was no predicted economic depression. Instead, because of the effective security and safer reasons in the French Concession, more people flocked to the French Concession and became more prosperous.

Especially the French Consul General Oqi and others who invested in Fanxing Real Estate, although their actual wealth did not increase, the wealth on paper increased.

When they saw the benefits of "ban smoking", they naturally spared no effort to support Lu Xiyan.

Lu Xiyan knew very well that the "ban on smoking" could achieve good results in the French Concession because the French Concession was not big and the French had the final say.

Especially the public concessions and Chinese concessions adjacent to the French Concessions have become very poor due to management issues, and the safety of people's lives and property cannot be guaranteed.

At this time, the French Concession did relatively better, which naturally attracted the attention of many people who wanted to have a stable life.

Moreover, the French arresting room does not condone and tolerate No. 76 like the Police Department of the Ministry of Industry. As long as the spy No. 76 enters the French concession to commit crimes and cause trouble, they will definitely be arrested.

And he was sentenced when arrested.

Of course, it is impossible for French house arrest to be completely objective and fair, but at least it is better than the Ministry of Industry and Technology. It is not that the French are stronger than the British, but that the French want to maintain their interests in the French Concession.

If the French Concession also let the '76' and the plainclothes agents of the Japanese Gendarmerie act like the public Concession, the first thing they lose is their own interests.

Of course, doing these things is the first thing that the Japanese cannot catch the braid. The Japanese are arrogant and unreasonable. If you find a reason, you must block the concession, cut off water and electricity, cut off external contacts, and then force you to surrender!

When it really came to this point, the French couldn't harden their knees.

...

"When you get there, don't forget to write a letter to the teacher to report your safety." Finally, it was time for Wu Jinyun to go to the United States. Lu Xiyan took Meng Fanxing and her three senior brothers to see him off at the dock.

There were also Wu Jinyun's parents, who also rushed over from Wuxi.

"Jinyun, my child, mom knows that you have had an idea since you were a child, but this time the place you went is too far. Your father and I are really worried. You put this thing in hand and come to the United States. If you miss us, take it out and take it out and take it..." After saying that, Wu Jinyun's mother was already crying.

My father didn't say much, but his eyes were red. I'm afraid he won't be able to come back for four or five years. Although the old couple's health is still pretty strong, no one can tell what happened in the future.

"Where is Zhaoxu, today is Jinyun's day to go to the United States, why didn't he come?" Wu Gang was a little dissatisfied. His daughter went to the United States to study. Originally, the son-in-law went with him, but he delayed it for half a year before he went there, which made him feel uncomfortable. Now that everyone is about to board the ship, so he doesn't come to send him off?

What kind of fiancé is this?

"He said that on the day of parting, if he was crying and separated, he would not feel good, so he might as well not come. Anyway, he had said goodbye to me last night." Wu Jinyun smiled faintly.

Yan Chaoxu didn't come, but she felt a little relaxed.

Although it was an excuse, it sounded much more comfortable. Wu Gang also knew that although his daughter and son-in-law had known each other since childhood, they did not have much intersection or feelings.

Engagement is also a marriage contract between the two families since childhood. If there is no such engagement, I am afraid that the two families will only be just an ordinary friendship.

No one from the Yan family came.

It can be seen that the Yan family’s attitude towards Wu Jinyun and other future daughters-in-laws was a little regretful. Why did they insist that their daughter fulfill their engagement and get engaged to Yan Chaoxu?

This not only bet on my daughter's happiness, but also forced her to go abroad by studying abroad.

Although studying abroad is a good thing to see the outside world, which parents don’t want their children to stay by their side?

"Jinyun, you have to take good care of yourself..."

"Mom, I can do it, don't worry."

"Don't worry, this witch brother, couple. There is a friend I know on the boat we went with. I have asked him to take care of Jinyun on the boat." Lu Xiyan said.

Lu Xiyan didn’t know anyone. He just said this so that Wu Gang and his wife could relax. Of course, he also did some things, such as finding Jack from the Black Cat Bar. This guy has a very broad path.

I spent a lot of money to build a relatively comfortable room for Wu Jinyun on the boat.

As for safety issues, he didn't have to worry too much. Wu Jinyun's hand stretched out, and no man was a match. It was a long time along the way, and accidents could happen at any time. Everything had to be faced by herself.

"Thank you, Dr. Lu." Wu Gang was very grateful. He was convinced that Lu Xiyan didn't have that kind of thought for his daughter, but he also loved him sincerely. "It's really a blessing for Jin Yun to meet a teacher like you."

"Brother Wu Yan is serious. Do you plan to return to your hometown in Wuxi or stay in Shanghai in the future?" Lu Xiyan asked.

"I am Jinyun's mother or I've been back. I've lived in the countryside for most of my life and got used to it." Wu Gang thought for a while and decided to go back.

"Okay, Cheng Cheng, I will leave Jin Yun's parents to you. You are responsible for sending people to the station safely." Lu Xiyan called Cheng Cheng and ordered.

"Don't worry, teacher, at worst, I can accompany Uncle Wu and Aunt back with me, and then I'll come back again." Cheng Cheng slapped his chest and promised.

"Okay, I'm relieved." Lu Xiyan nodded. The two old men suddenly separated from their daughter and they would inevitably be depressed. If someone accompanied them all the way back, they could take care of them.

"Goodbye, Jinyun, my good student!"

The cruise ship slowly sailed out of the port, and the beautiful figure on the ship was waving desperately further and further away. Finally, tears flowed down his face, and soon the size of an ant remained until it disappeared into the distance.

"Let's go back, Uncle Xi has already arranged it on Jinyun's side, and he will adapt soon when he gets there." Lu Xiyan gently touched Yi Huaxia's wife's shoulder and said.

"I'm just a little sad. Although I have known Jinyun for only one year and have been together for a shorter time, I can feel that she has different emotions for you. The reason why she promised to study in the United States is that you account for a large part." Meng Fanxing said slowly. How could she not see that it is also a woman?

"You are so sensitive. I recommend Jinyun to study in the United States for her future."

"Jinyun is very traditional in her bones. A girl is alone and traveling across the ocean. Do you know how much courage does this take to achieve it?" Meng Fanxing said with red eyes.

"Oh..." Lu Xiyan could only sigh slightly, and some words could only be hidden in his heart, and it would be meaningless to say them.

"Let's go back, it's a rare weekend today. Let's go eat French food tonight." Lu Xiyan suggested.

"No, French food is enough for our half-month meal. It's so wasteful. I'd better go back and prepare it yourself. It's delicious and affordable." Meng Fanxing vetoed directly.

"Okay, listen to you, let's go buy groceries and then go home to cook, okay?"

"Xiao Wu, A Xiang, let's go to Xiaodongmen Fish Market!"

"Dr. Lu, Mrs. Lu, you two can watch it casually. Today's fish are the freshest. I'll give you a 20% discount..."

In the fish market, many people know Lu Xiyan and Meng Fanxing, because those who are identifiable as Lu Xiyan come to the market to buy vegetables in person, and are not often kind to ordinary fishermen.

Meng Fanxing often appears in the fish market. It was because of the "smoking ban" problem that someone had secretly expressed her feelings to Lu Xiyan on the black market, which reduced the frequency of her own buying vegetables.

Now the sensation has passed.

At the core, Meng Fanxing has not yet regarded himself as Mrs. Hua, but is the mistress who has mastered millions of business empires, and has not regarded himself as a noble person at all.

Her favorite is to be with ordinary people, and she even likes to bargain and enjoy the fun of it.

"Boss, this season's flower fish is good, how much does it cost per pound?"

"Mrs. Lu, it's you. I just got this fish yesterday. It's more than three pounds. If you want it, I'll give you a little cheaper. The market price is 40 cents per pound, and you can give one dollar." The boss recognized Meng Fanxing, took the initiative to reduce the price and even gave a discount.

"That won't work. Don't look at this small book, it's enough for your whole family to spend a day," Lu Xiyan said.

"You know." Meng Fanxing gave Lu Xiyan a blank look, took out one piece of legal tender, handed it out another 50 cents, and said, "Boss, don't look for it."

In fact, everyone in the fish market knows that although Meng Fanxing likes to bargain when buying vegetables, it will not cause losses. Sometimes he clearly pays off the price, but he will still pay more when he pays it, but in fact he pays it back.

Therefore, Meng Fanxing is a very popular person in the fish market. Everyone knows that she likes to bargain, but she will not suffer any losses.

I bought fish and went to the vegetable market to buy some fresh vegetables and pork.

The couple both returned home.
