The 22nd year of the Republic of China is destined to be a year with stories.

As the car exploded and vanished into thin air, there was Inspector Zhang, as if he had never been to Jiangcheng.

The turbulent current situation is becoming more and more turbulent, and the war in the Northeast is far from affecting this southern city.

People sang and danced, listened to operas in Xinji Market, went shopping on Xianzheng Street and Fifth Avenue, ladies and ladies paid attention to the new imports of various businesses, and Zhongshan Park was still crowded with people.

There is a poem to prove it: "Cars are like flowing water, horses are like dragons, and buildings and pavilions are in sight. People in the new market are like ants, and men and women meet each other with a smile."

Everything is the same as before.

A car stopped in front of Wande Commercial Company, and a few soldiers with live ammunition came down, and the last one came out was Adjutant Zhang, who immediately attracted the attention of passers-by.

Master Zhou heard the voices downstairs, and heard that a man came to report: The soldiers have come to Wande Firm.

Although he was calm, after Mu Qing was arrested, he still felt panic when he heard that the soldiers were coming.

He forced himself to go downstairs. Adjutant Zhang walked up to the old man and gave a military salute, and said, "The new garrison officer would like to invite your whole family to visit the mansion on weekends. I hope you will appreciate it. He said that he has not seen your second son for a long time." , I miss you a lot."

"Who is the new garrison officer?" The old man only heard that Chief Sun was accidentally killed by bandits when he was out of the city, but he didn't know the specific news.

"Zhang Qianmo, Chief Zhang, oh, he used to be Inspector Zhang in this city." Adjutant Zhang replied.

"He! He's not..." Master Zhou was very surprised.

"It's hard to say, and the officer has to tell you this matter himself."

"Okay, our Zhou family will definitely come then."

"It's settled like this. I'll go back and report immediately." Adjutant Zhang was serious, and hurried back when he got the answer.

Hearing that Inspector Zhang was not only fine, but also replaced Chief Sun, Mr. Zhou was somewhat worried and somewhat grateful.

The worry is that I don't know what kind of temper Zhang is. Fortunately, I feel that Feng Shui is really turning around, and I will be at Zhou's house this year.

On the morning of the weekend, all Zhou's family members changed into new clothes and took a car to go to Zhang Changguan's mansion.

Since Sun Zongxiang's death, his mansion has been lived by Chief Zhang.Chief Zhang has only been in Jiangcheng for a short time, and has not yet opened another mansion.

The Zhou family got out of the car, Master Zhou was very familiar with this place.The hibiscus and canna planted in the flower bed by the door were still in full bloom, and he still remembered being left hanging in the concierge for two hours.Unexpectedly, after a while, things will change.

Zhang Zhang greeted him personally.

Mr. Zhou was overwhelmed by the flattery, and he was beating drums in his heart. I don't know why Mr. Zhang was so enthusiastic after his return this time.

"You are late to greet me, don't blame me."

"How dare you?" Master Zhou bent down and cupped his hands.

"Please come in quickly."

The Zhou family followed Chief Zhang into the door. Although it was still Chief Sun's mansion back then, the decorations inside were completely different.

The style of the sofa and furniture has also been greatly changed, and the pictures of ladies hanging on the wall have also been replaced with a calligraphy of "the world is for the public".

The Zhou family sat down nervously on the sofa, the eldest wife awkwardly held the old man's arm, and Yuehua Muqing sat silently, their hearts were beating drums.

"Look at the tea." Chief Zhang told the adjutant with a smile on his face, and quickly served tea and snacks.

He suddenly got up and walked in front of Mu Qing, bent down and bowed.

Shocked, Mu Qing hurriedly stood up, supported him and said, "Who are you?"

"Thank you Zhou Muqing for saving your life."

"Me? Help?"

"Yes. Although you didn't directly save me, if it wasn't for you, I definitely wouldn't be standing in front of you like this." Then Officer Zhang narrated the incident of his narrow escape, "It's your name sticker. Saved me. The car just started that day. I remembered that I forgot your name sticker, so I got out of the car to get it. My adjutant was sitting in the car. Then the bomb exploded, and I disguised myself and hid for several days. I didn’t set off for Nanjing until I heard that the murderer had caught me.”

"This is also your good fortune, Mr. Zhang." The old man said, "Only in this way can we escape from this catastrophe."

"Having said that, if Brother Mu Qing hadn't sent a famous post, how could I have escaped from death? I don't know what year Brother Mu Qing was from?"

"The 34th year of Guangxu."

"It's my younger brother." Chief Zhang said with a smile, "If you don't give up, I am willing to become a brother with a different surname with you, Muqing. From now on, the affairs of the Zhou family will be my affairs. I don't know what the old man thinks?"

"I am willing. Since you are willing to reward Mr. Zhang, I'd rather obey than respect." Mu Qing didn't think about it.

The old man glanced at him.

"Since Brother Mu Qing agreed, we have made a deal. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, just come to me." Officer Zhang smiled.

"Yes. Brother Zhang is here, and I'll be bowed by my younger brother." Mu Qing immediately got up and bowed.

"Ah, hahaha, you are too polite." Officer Zhang laughed and helped him up.

Yuehua and the eldest wife are completely foils.The eldest lady's complexion was not good, she sat silently beside Master Zhou, Yue Hua had a disdainful expression on her face, he seemed to be a bit displeased with Mu Qing's obsequiousness.

"Sir, the food in the kitchen is ready." Adjutant Zhang came to report.

"Walk around, you're welcome, I've resigned from my previous cook, and I've hired a new chef to cook authentic Jinling dishes. He's very good at cooking, and I've specially ordered him to make his specialties today. You guys have a try." Officer Zhang said enthusiastically. Invited, the Zhou family got up and followed.

It was the first time for them to visit the restaurant of the mansion, and the magnificence inside was even praised by the Zhou family, who were used to seeing big scenes.

The dishes have been laid out on the table, and it really is the chef's craftsmanship. The knife skills of each dish are not messy, and the color and color of the side dishes are excellent, especially the roasted duck is even more oily and smooth.

Everyone at that time knew that Jinling cuisine was exquisite, salty and fresh. As an official dish, it was very popular on the table.It is mainly salty, suitable for salty sweetness, sour but not astringent, bitter but fragrant, spicy but not strong, crisp but not raw, thick and mellow, fat but not greasy, light but not thin.

"To be able to eat authentic Jinling cuisine in Jiangcheng, today you are very lucky." Chief Zhang said with a smile, "I have also hired talented people to get it."

"It's rare." The old man echoed with a smile.

After the meal, Chief Zhang forced Mu Qing to chat for a while before letting them go back.

The more he talked with Mu Qing, the more speculative they became. Yue Hua felt that he had never had such a difficult time. Today, except for his father and Mu Qing, everyone else was in the last seat, and they couldn't leave at will.Finally, when they got into the car, Yuehua breathed a sigh of relief, and the eldest wife felt much more relaxed.

"Qing'er, why do you worship elder brother? You have to know that this is a troubled time, and getting too close to power is playing with fire." The old man blamed him a little.

"Father, power is the sharp side of the knife. If you stay away, this knife will not work for you at all. I think Wande Firm has not really escaped the crisis. If Mr. Zhang can use this sharp knife, why not do it?" What’s more, the situation will not change in a short time.” Mu Qing had already made up his mind, “Time is running out, the situation in the Northeast is unstable, our Wande Firm has been suppressed by Zhi and Li’s for so long, it’s time to It's a turnaround."

After hearing Mu Qing's words, the old man looked at him and sighed, "I'm old, it's time for you young people to take over."

Soon, the news of Zhou Muqing and Chief Zhang's sworn marriage spread out for no reason. No one asked about good things, and gossip was flying all over the sky.

Zhou Muqing immediately became an upstart in the city, and was everyone's fawning object.

This news spread to Li Shaowen's ears, and his heart sank when he heard it.

When Chief Sun was around, I had always been a guest of his mansion, so what was Zhou Muqing?And not long ago, he personally brought a gift to visit Chief Zhang, but he was turned away. The most angry thing was that the soldiers told him that there were so many people who wanted to see Chief Zhang that they had to wait half a month to visit.

In any case, I have to meet with Chief Zhang to find out.

Li Shaowen had his own way to pay a visit to Chief Zhang, and the name card he handed in had an extra title: Zhou Muqing's brother-in-law.That is to say, he only met Chief Zhang under Mu Qing's name.

"Are you Zhou Muqing's brother-in-law?" Officer Zhang looked at the name post and asked suspiciously, "This is the first time I've heard of your title. I haven't heard Mu Qing mention it before."

"Mr. Zhang, how dare I lie to you! My wife is Zhou Muqing's fake younger sister. Everyone in Jiangcheng knows it." Li Shaowen accompanied him with a smile.

"But you, Li Shaowen, I don't know anything else, you've changed really quickly. If I remember correctly, Sun Zongxiang relied on you the most among the guests of the Sun family back then, and he would consult you about everything. Now you... "There is something in Mr. Zhang's words.

"Those old things were caused by Li's incomprehension when he was young. I just ask Mr. Zhang to take care of us and the firm." Li Shaowen still said with a smile. After saying this, he felt sad for a while.Everyone looks at the businessman's glamorous appearance, wearing gold and silver, but they don't know that it is normal to be humble behind the scenes. With so many clouds in the sky, who knows where it will rain?How about not planning for a rainy day?Every day when I open my eyes, I think that there are still so many people relying on Zhihe for their lives, and so many people are working and waiting to get paid.

Li Shaowen chased away the emotions in his heart, and waited for Chief Zhang to continue.

"Seeing that you are Brother Mu Qing's brother-in-law, I can indeed take care of you, but considering your previous behavior, although I am not a narrow-minded person, I still have some scruples." Officer Zhang thought for a while replied.

"I know."

"I absolutely believe in your ability, you can relax. As long as you..." Officer Zhang smiled.

Li Shaowen suddenly understood: "Mr. Zhang, you can rest assured, I understand how to be filial."

Chief Zhang's attitude was still hesitant, but at least he had a clear attitude, and Li Shaowen's heart went back to his stomach.

These days, Zhou Muqing really felt that life was like a play. When he went to Wande Commercial Bank, those shareholders who didn't support him at first changed their flattery and called him "Little Master Zhou". There will definitely be no objection, but it's a pity that the old man didn't mention it.
