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

Chapter 41: Education is the key to a nation’s prosperity, and meeting a kindred spirit

"Come on, come on in. There are a lot of friends here today, and several of them are also from the army. Maybe you can make some friends."

In front of the box door, Xiao Feng put his arm around Zhang Ye's shoulders and warmly invited him in.

As soon as the door was opened, the five or six people who had arrived in the room earlier all looked over.

Zhang Ye had good eyesight and instantly recognized two guys he had seen yesterday in the crowd. The other three, one of them looked to be in his thirties, was wearing the uniform of Feng's troops. Judging from his posture, he should be in a high position, and he had a gold star on his shoulder.

The remaining two were both girls, and he knew one of them, Xu Linlin, whom he had just met in the morning.

Her presence surprised Zhang Ye a little, especially when he thought of the scene in the morning, he felt his face getting hot and a little embarrassed.

At that time, Zhang Ye's figure also attracted everyone's attention, especially Xu Linlin who was sitting inside and chatting. When she saw him coming, her expression suddenly changed and she questioned with a little dissatisfaction.

"Why are you here?"

"What? You know each other?" Xiao Feng was a little surprised when he heard this, but when he thought of Zhang Ye's faction, he immediately reacted and smiled very gently, "Since you know each other, that's great."

"Who knows him? Not at all."

Xu Linlin turned her head away like a wronged young wife, not looking into Zhang Ye's eyes.

Little did she know that her appearance had completely changed the way everyone else saw it.

It's not that they don't know each other, they are obviously very familiar with each other, that's why she dares to act like a spoiled child in front of so many people.

With this scene as a backdrop, there was an inexplicable feeling in everyone's eyes when they looked at Zhang Ye, especially Xiao Feng's two friends, who did not hide the envy in their eyes.

It's amazing! The jewel in the crown of the Duan boss was actually captured by this guy. If this news gets out, who knows how many people in the headquarters will cry.

"Hehe, come in, come in quickly."

Xiao Feng touched his nose a little embarrassedly, then pulled Zhang Ye into the house and introduced him to everyone.

"Everyone, this is a new friend I just met yesterday, Mr. Duan..."

Halfway through his words, Xiao Feng noticed that Zhang Ye's military rank had changed.

When he saw that he had changed into colonel's epaulettes, even though he had seen a lot of the world, he couldn't help but be a little surprised.

This guy was a major yesterday, but he was promoted twice in one day and became a colonel?

As expected, the ancients were right: it is good to lean against a big tree for shade...

Thinking of this, Xiao Feng glanced at Xu Linlin very secretly, and couldn't help feeling a little emotional.

The most famous lady in the capital was eventually picked up by an outsider. This guy got both the woman and the money, which was a clear win for him.

"cough……"

With a light cough, Xiao Feng collected the messy thoughts in his mind, patted Zhang Ye on the shoulder, and continued.

"New friend, Colonel Zhang from the Duan Department..."

"Zhang Ye, courtesy name Chaorong."

Seeing his hesitant expression, Zhang Ye took the initiative to introduce himself.

"I'm not an army officer. I just graduated from Baocheng Military Academy this year and am currently serving as the county magistrate of Jingshan County."

"Zhang Ye from Jingshan County?" Xiao Feng, who had been cheerful just a moment before, suddenly had a fiery glint in his eyes after hearing his self-introduction. He turned around, grabbed his hand, and asked, "Are you really Zhang Ye? The Zhang Ye who cut taxes, distributed land, and provided free education?"

"Um... probably, probably..."

Zhang Ye didn't expect him to be so excited. After hesitating for a moment, he smiled shyly.

"The one who meets all your requirements should be me."

"Hahaha, good, good, this is really great..."

After getting his answer, Xiao Feng happily pulled him to sit down.

"Brother Chao Rong, I've heard of your great name for a long time. Meeting you today is truly a gift from God."

Xiao Feng's reaction was genuine, enthusiastic, and even contained a hint of admiration.

This was the first time Zhang Ye had seen such a situation since he came to Beijing. Especially when he felt his burning gaze, Zhang Ye once suspected that he had recognized the wrong person.

At this stage, there is no powerful family with a little status who doesn't hate me. Is this kid taking the wrong medicine?

"Brother Chao Rong, I've been following everything you've done in Jingshan, especially your initiative to establish a school and offer free admission. It really touched me deeply."

Xiao Fengke had no idea what he was thinking. He just kept talking about the emotions that had been suppressed in his heart for a long time.

"When I heard about this, I planned to go to Jingshan and meet you for a good chat, but due to my busy schedule, I never found the time."

"Our meeting here today is truly a fate sent by God. Education is the key to national prosperity. Your strategy is truly remarkable. At this stage, only by learning and popularizing teaching concepts can we truly save our chaotic country."

"Hahaha, Brother Feng Liao is awesome, I'm not as awesome as you say."

Zhang Ye held his shoulders and signaled the boy not to get too excited.

"That's not an exaggeration at all, Brother Chao Rong. Your action really gave me a lot of inspiration."

Xiao Feng still didn't stop and continued talking about the same topic.

"In today's society, the only real hope is the next generation. Only by universalizing education and enabling future children to master advanced concepts and ideas can we achieve real change."

"How long do you plan to run the school? Are you short of money? I'll give you some later. Can you open a few more schools?"

"No, no, no, Brother Feng, this won't be done in a day or two. Money is secondary, the main thing is..."

"Cough cough!"

Before Zhang Ye finished speaking, the Feng faction general across the table coughed several times in succession, his face looked gloomy and unhappy, and snorted coldly.

"Mr. Feng, we all agree that running a school is a good thing, but there's no need for you to make such a big deal about it."

"Education is the key to national prosperity? If you say that, then those of us soldiers can just go back home and farm, right?"

"Brigade Commander Mo, we are not talking about the same thing..."

Xiao Feng waved his hands, trying to comfort him and tell him not to get involved.

However, Zhang Ye heard something different in his words.

As the saying goes, friends praise each other and ** play tricks on each other. Those who can come to this dinner today are basically Xiao Feng's guests or friends.

This guy surnamed Mo refuted their remarks in front of so many people, which means he really disagreed with their views.

Or, he just has a grudge against Zhang Ye and can't stand seeing him do well.

Just like now, Zhang Ye has clearly sensed the naked hostility in his eyes, which also verifies his guess.

This bastard was holding a grudge against him. Although he didn't know the specific reason, he could feel that he wanted to kill him.
