The Republic of China: A Letter of Appointment Creates the Most Powerful Warlord

"I heard that you have been studying abroad. When did you come back? Have you been back to Beijing to see your teacher and his wife?" Zhang Ye walked up to him with a smile on his face, poured tea for him skillfully, and continued to chat happily about family matters.

Huang Xiaohui lowered her head slightly, her big eyes rolled around, and a barely perceptible cunning light flashed in her eyes.

She raised her head, cautiously stole a glance at Zhang Ye's well-defined profile, and then replied softly, a little tentatively, "Well... actually, I haven't been back to the capital yet, and I don't dare tell them about my return yet." After she finished speaking, as if afraid that Zhang Ye would notice something, she quickly added, "Linlin and I have some other things to take care of in Shanghai, so we don't have time to go back anytime soon."

Hearing this, Zhang Ye nodded casually and continued chatting, "I see. It seems like you and Xu Linlin get along quite well and have a good relationship, right?"

Based on the information currently available, they are most likely working together to run a charity disaster relief project.

Huang Xiaohui's sudden visit today might have been instructed by Xu Linlin, who wanted to get some kind of help or support from him.

Thinking of this, Zhang Ye remained calm on the surface, but he had already begun to secretly plan a countermeasure in his heart.

"Of course not! We lived together when we were abroad, and we had a wonderful relationship!" Huang Xiaohui smiled happily, holding the teacup in both hands. Her big, watery eyes on her pretty face curved into crescents, and her mouth chattered endlessly like a cheerful little bird. "I heard from her that you were in Shanghai, so I had the audacity to come here!"

At this point, she stuck out her tongue a little embarrassedly, and continued, "At first, I was worried that you were too busy with work and had no time to pay attention to me!"

Hearing this, Zhang Ye laughed heartily, his voice loud and friendly: "Hahahaha, sister, look at what you said! We are no strangers, you are my sister! As long as you can come to visit your brother, no matter how busy I am at work, I will put it all aside!"

After saying that, he subconsciously reached into his pocket, trying to take out a cigarette box to light up a cigarette to satisfy his craving.

At this moment, the sharp-eyed Huang Xiaohui quickly stood up, smiling, and approached Zhang Ye with extraordinary attentiveness, carefully helping him light the cigarette.

Looking at the well-behaved and sensible sister in front of him, Zhang Ye's heart couldn't help but soften. He originally wanted to continue teasing her, but at this moment he changed his mind.

He took a deep drag on his cigarette, slowly exhaled a smoke ring, and said to Huang Xiaohui with a smile, "Alright, girl, tell me straight, what brought you all this way to see me this time? What's the reason?"

There was a sense of pampering and indulgence in his words, as if no matter what request Huang Xiaohui made, he would agree without hesitation.

"Hehe, brother is really smart..." Huang Xiaohui, whose little thoughts were seen through, not only did not feel embarrassed at all, but she smiled openly and came in front of him.

She looked very intimate, as if the person in front of her was really her biological brother, without any sense of strangeness at all.

Then, she began to act coquettishly towards him: "Hey, I came all the way here to see you, brother. Actually, it's nothing particularly important. I just have a small favor that I want to ask you to help me with!"

Hearing this, Zhang Ye couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a half-smile.

His deep and bright eyes were fixed on Huang Xiaohui's rosy and tender little face, and he was secretly wondering what kind of strange request this clever little girl would make.

So, he said with great interest, "Just tell me straight, don't beat around the bush!"

After getting permission, Huang Xiaohui immediately perked up. She stretched out a slender index finger, shook it gently and said, "This first request is that the funds raised for the project we are preparing for are a little bit small. So, I was wondering if I could trouble you, brother, to be generous and provide us with some financial support!" While speaking, the little girl deliberately twisted her fingers, acting like a money-grubber, which looked extremely cute.

Then, she quickly raised two fingers and continued, "As for the second request, that's even simpler! Linlin and I are responsible for the operation of the entire project, and we are truly overwhelmed! Therefore, I hope that you, Brother, can use your extensive connections to help find a reliable and professional organization to assist us in completing these tasks!"

After saying this, Huang Xiaohui blinked her big watery eyes and looked at Zhang Ye expectantly, as if she was certain that he would agree to her request.

"Is that it?" Zhang Ye raised his head slightly, and his gaze slowly moved to the girl in front of him. In his deep eyes, a hint of gentle warmth appeared unconsciously.

He sighed inwardly, never expecting that these two seemingly weak girls in front of him actually had such a hard life in their daily lives.

No matter big or small, they had to do it all by themselves, without even a helper to lend a hand.

"It's just this matter, it's urgent!" Huang Xiaohui nodded vigorously, her big watery eyes staring at Zhang Ye, her eyes full of eagerness and expectation.

She fully expected that this senior brother whom she met for the first time would be merciful and generous and extend a helping hand to her in time.

In Huang Xiaohui's mind, Zhang Ye, as the Grand Marshal of District 7, has a respected status and tremendous power. He must not be like those stingy people who are always fussy and haggard about money.

With his noble status, it would be easy for him to give out three or five million as pocket money just by raising his hand.

What's more, there is a layer of relationship between them, Lao Huang.

As his junior sister, this is the first time I come to him for help. If the other party gives too little money, wouldn’t it be too embarrassing?

Hearing Huang Xiaohui's anxious words, Zhang Ye was silent for a while, frowning slightly, as if thinking about something.

After a moment, a glint suddenly flashed in his eyes, as if he had hit upon a brilliant idea. He took a deep breath and spoke slowly and solemnly, "The money issue isn't difficult to resolve! However... I'm not in a position to be directly involved. You guys should take the lead on this matter. If I personally invested money, I'm afraid the nature of the matter would change."

"Ah?" Huang Xiaohui felt her brain was not enough when she heard this.

What do you mean?

The previous sentence said "money issues are easy to solve", why are you suddenly not involved?

If you don't participate, who will pay for it?

Waiting for pie to fall from the sky?
