The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

"What my third brother-in-law said, I've actually thought about it a long time ago."

After a brief thought, Jiang Cheng made it clear, "Not only did this old man cause such a turmoil, but if Zhang Jinghui wasn't so stupid and fickle, I'm afraid he would have delayed our development."

"Under the current circumstances, Duan Zhigui must have become a discarded pawn of the Beiyang government... Snow Fox, a subordinate of Ting Shu, reported that Duan Zhigui has been contacting people in the interior for several days in a row. In addition to contacting his old friends in the Anhui clique, he mostly wants to trap Xu Shichang and Cao Kun."

Yan Ziwen was in business and technology, and although he was not sensitive to politics, he gradually came to his senses: "I understand. It's not difficult to get rid of him now. You mean, keeping him is still somewhat useful, right?"

Hai Huixin first tilted her head to look at Yan Ziwen, then turned her slightly worried gaze to Jiang Cheng: "Master, there is something I want to say... I don't know if I should say it in front of my third brother-in-law."

Jiang Cheng looked at him blankly, raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "We are all family, you can talk as you like."

Hai Huixin sighed and said, "Today, I was watching Duan Zhigui with a cold eye, and I always felt that...the father and daughter didn't seem to be of the same mind at all."

Ok?
Jiang Cheng and Yan Ziwen simultaneously turned their slightly puzzled eyes away——

But the Jiang family's wife, who had always been graceful and elegant, showed an inexplicable meaning for the first time, and couldn't help but sighed and said: "Actually, as a woman, I really shouldn't have come up with such an idea;"

"After all, I am from the master and the Jiang family, so I should naturally side with you... I always feel that this Duan guy seems to be using the same old tricks to take my daughter away."

Before she could finish, Jiang Cheng found an excuse and changed the subject.

In fact, Snow Fox had reported it before. They heard it near the Duan family's courtyard that the old man was planning to give his daughter to himself.

Jiang Cheng was not surprised by this, not to mention that he used to rely on sending women to Yuan Datou to get to the top;

Seeing that he had repeatedly asked to "send his daughter" in Jinzhou and Fengtian, Jiang Cheng knew that he would definitely do the same thing again.

Regardless of whether Zhang Zuoxiang and Hai Rusong agreed or not, Jiang Cheng was already disgusted by this kind of marriage with too strong a purpose.

And before in Jinzhou, this girl took the Japanese melon grenade and wanted to die with Zhang Jinghui. I really didn't realize that the relationship between father and daughter was so bad...

Jiang Cheng was still unsure whether it was an act or not. Taking such an unknown concubine into the family would only bring him trouble.

Just as Jiang Cheng was lost in thought, Hai Huixin added, "Master, we have finished reporting the matter. Tomorrow is Shengshi's second birthday, and I plan to reserve two tables at Baoshengju."

Ye Hai, who had been standing by the office door, blinked blankly and then smiled embarrassedly.

"Look at this heartless father, he didn't even remember his own son's birthday?"

Seeing his embarrassment, Jiang Cheng laughed and said, "Since Madam has mentioned it, let's have a good time while we are all in Jilin Prefecture—"

"Hui Xin, two tables are definitely not enough... Let's go to the city and hire a troupe to liven things up!"

Ye Shengshi, the eldest son of personal bodyguard Ye Hai, has a birthday tomorrow, so the attentive Hai Huixin will naturally take care of it... Seeing that he still has some intention of refusing, Jiang Cheng added:

"I'll give you a day off tomorrow. Oh, and pack me two big portions, one for Cui Ni and the other for Sheng Shi!"

Ye Hai was so moved that he was speechless. Yan Ziwen beside him also smiled: "It's true that if there is a seedling, there will be no worries about its growth! He is already two years old. Isn't it time to find a teacher to teach him?"

Jiang Cheng had the same idea, so he mentioned it to Yan Ziwen and asked him to help contact a teacher who was more patient and careful. There were more and more children in the family, and it was time to start their education.

As they chatted, the topic turned to him and his wife. They had been married for many years and it was time for them to have a child. Yan Ziwen smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying that he wanted to, too. Tinghui always thought that vision was the most important thing. As they chatted, it was almost noon. Hai Huixin said goodbye and went to Tiansheng Street, which had just been opened by the Chamber of Commerce: it was the right place to book a brothel and see a troupe.

Jiang Cheng and Yan Ziwen went back to the Governor's Mansion. Although they didn't have much official business in the past two days, they had a lot of appointments.

In addition to the wealthy businessmen, scholars, celebrities, etc. who came from the interior of the country, even people from his hometown in Shanxi came;

In addition, there were also some overseas businessmen who also wanted to meet - in addition to the merchants brought by Britain, France and the United States, there were also a few who came to Jilin Prefecture with Yan Ziwen.

In addition to the desire for penicillin, what was more important was the great interest in this unknown land outside the pass.

Jiang Cheng was naturally very happy. You know, these are all very beneficial to development.

"The meeting is already scheduled until the end of this month. Can these two businessmen be inserted?"

Yan Ziwen followed Jiang Cheng upstairs and whispered, "I suggest you meet that British businessman. From what he said, it seems that he has some connections with the Shipbuilding Bureau."

Jiang Cheng stopped and turned around to glance at him, but did not rush to speak... With the full recovery of the authority of the Tumen River Port, the economy of the entire Jilin will be gradually revitalized.

This has attracted a steady stream of foreign businessmen, but has also brought with it some deceptive and fraudulent people.

Yang Hongyi was not able to defend himself, and he approved military funds for himself, intending to purchase a batch of firearms retired from the European War.

I didn't expect that the two handsome young men with blond hair and blue eyes would be a pair of people who take money but don't do the work.

Fortunately, the shrewd Sun Zhengnan noticed it early and caught them before they slipped out of Shanhaiguan, otherwise the loss would have been huge.

"I know you're worried that it's a scam... Actually, I'm worried too, but we can always meet,"

Yan Ziwen followed him upstairs as he was talking, and saw the Zhang Tingxue sister and the other sister, each holding Hongye and Fenghua, as they retreated from the terrace.

"Hey, Third Brother-in-law, when will you be back?"

After handing her daughter to Jiang Cheng, Zhang Tingxue came forward with a beaming look on her face. "Oh my, you've been away for so long. You haven't seen your sister for three or four months!"

Jiang Cheng held his daughter in one hand and Zhang Tingxue in the other. He then raised his chin to Ye Hai, indicating that he should take his son Hongye away as well, so as to give the long-parted couple a chance to be alone.

As expected, Zhang Tinghui's eyes turned red in an instant, and she went up to her husband and hit him: "I'm so annoyed with you! Why didn't you tell me in advance when you came back? It's really..."

Without waiting for them to say anything else, Jiang Cheng pulled his beloved wife and went back to the room.

After telling her what happened today, Jiang Cheng changed out of his military uniform and went downstairs to have lunch.

He planned to postpone both of his afternoon appointments by an hour so that he could meet the British businessman brought back by Yan Ziwen.

Just when Jiang Cheng was about to meet the British businessman, Duan Zhigui's invitation also arrived.

The old housekeeper Luo Zhen has recently contracted a serious illness and has been recuperating. His work is being taken over by his son Luo Rong. (End of this chapter)
