The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

Chapter 281 Nothing is a coincidence

"Fuck you! Have you forgotten that my second brother has always hated this matter? Are you really going to fan the flames and let him cut me to pieces?"

Jiang Cheng raised his hand and pushed him, but Hai Pingchuan immediately hugged him with a playful smile.

"Hey, Feilan, my dad always said that he wanted to marry my sister to you. To be honest, I also have this intention - but now you are hugging women left and right,"

"We both have a little bit of a drumbeat."

The conversation was getting off track, so Jiang Cheng changed the subject and no one bothered about it anymore.
As for the beating of the foreigners, no one took it seriously after they had their meal and showered. Yu Shanchang, the garrison commander, sent someone to ask a few questions, saying that it was a disturbance at the Yinghui Hall.

But considering that there has been unrest everywhere recently and that we have to rely on local troops to maintain order, we just asked for some money and the matter was over.

The next day, after finishing my studies, Sun Zhengnan accompanied me to a blind date.

It’s not that Jiang Cheng didn’t want to accompany them, but Yang Yucheng made an appointment with his classmates at the last minute.

"We are in the same school, but he studies medicine and after graduation he majors in pharmacy... It is a very popular field abroad now."

The meeting place was still chosen in the largest private room of the hotel. I heard that they had all returned from abroad like Yang Yucheng, so they deliberately asked for watercress to be served.

Listening to Yang Yucheng's description, Jiang Cheng nodded silently.

Since the outbreak of World War I, there have been countless casualties and sicknesses, especially on the Eastern Front where the fighting was extremely stalemate. This not only promoted the development of weapons, especially industry, but also brought about considerable improvements in medicine.

Especially researchers related to pharmaceuticals are sought after by all countries.

"Feilan, you don't have to be so polite. My old classmate is very easy-going."

When Yang Yucheng heard Jiang Cheng say that he wanted to serve the best wine, he quickly stopped him with a smile, "Besides, it's not appropriate to serve alcohol to others."

Hai Pingchuan smiled cheerfully: "Well, what's the point of being appropriate or inappropriate? After two or three cups, we'll all be good brothers!"

Yang Yucheng practiced waving his hands and said repeatedly: "It's really inappropriate... because my classmate is a girl."

This was quite a surprise.

It is not uncommon for girls to study abroad, but it is rare to hear that they can study medicine and major in pharmacy and become high-level talents.

Jiang Cheng was suddenly filled with awe and unconsciously equated this woman he had never met with someone like Madame Curie.

However, just as the meeting time arrived and the door was opened by the host, Hai Pingchuan and one of the women looked at each other and said in unison:

"Why is it you!?"

Lian Jiang Cheng almost blurted out: Isn’t this girl the “high ponytail” who was bullied by the foreigner yesterday but still dared to slap the foreigner?

But today's heroine is not her, but her companion who is half a head shorter than her.

The woman looked at her in surprise, then looked at the men who came to greet her, and finally her eyes fell on Yang Yucheng: "Who is this?"

After this introduction, Jiang Cheng was completely confused.

Because the protagonists of this blind date are undoubtedly Cao Shiying and Xuecheng, and he is just a foil.

Moreover, he brought Cai Chanjuan from Dapingzhuang to Siping, and they had already had two quarrels over trivial family matters such as being apart for too long.

Jiang Cheng was afraid that his wife would cause trouble again, so he simply didn't mention his "blind date" to anyone other than Hai Pingchuan.

So the information gap appeared: Yang Yucheng did mention this female classmate twice, but thinking that he might not be able to get a date with her, he did not elaborate on her identity.

When they met today, Yang Yucheng introduced her. This female classmate's name was Zhang Tinghui, and she was Zhang Zuoxiang's third daughter. "Haha, it turns out that the 'young hero' that Seventh Sister mentioned to help them out is you, Master Jiang!"

After the introductions, even the elegant Zhang Tinghui showed a slightly mischievous smile, and tilted her head to look at her sister, "After my sister ran back to the guild hall, she praised the gentlemen a lot."

"It is said that the great powers of various countries are oppressing the people, but there are still such handsome young people willing to stand up - it is really admirable!"

Zhang Tingxue pushed her sister in a scolding tone: "Sister, you are really!"

The two socialites, accompanied by their maids, must have made careful preparations. Their makeup was exquisite and their dresses were gorgeous, making the two sisters look as bright as twin flowers.

Hai Huixin can be considered a first-class beauty, and the Zhang sisters are not inferior to her, but even more noble.

Especially this Seventh Miss, there was a hint of heroism from a military family between her brows, which made Jiang Cheng couldn't help but take a few more glances at her.

Yang Yucheng tapped his feet twice with his leather shoes under the table and said with a smile, "Old classmate... haven't seen each other for half a year, right?"

"You are going back to your country now, so you won't go to America anymore, right?"

Jiang Cheng avoided Zhang Tingxue's slightly scorching gaze and turned a polite smile to her sister, who replied calmly: "What you said is exactly the same as my father."

"He also wants me to return to serve the country... but,"

Zhang Tinghui didn't say the second half of the sentence, but Jiang Cheng already understood it.

Since the country was closed to the outside world, all Western learning has been excluded, and even people's livelihood issues such as medicine have hardly made any development.

When she returned to China, all her years of hard study were basically useless; but it was different in America.

"I understand Ms. Zhang's concerns."

Jiang Cheng looked back at her and smiled, "You are worried that all your skills and knowledge will be wasted, right?"

This……

Zhang Tinghui was obviously nervous because she didn't expect the other party to directly point out the meaning.

"Mr. Jiang, I, I do have concerns in this regard—"

After a brief consideration, she decided to speak frankly, "Besides, I also met some classmates when I returned to China this time."

"We discussed this in Tianjin. We said that with the wars going on in China and Europe, the environment in America is relatively peaceful."

"Furthermore, in terms of academic research, America does a better job than China."

Jiang Cheng listened to her calmly, then stopped and smiled, "What if I plan to do some medical research in Siping?"

Noticing the surprise in her eyes, Jiang Cheng continued, "The war in the country is still going on. The soldiers are injured, but what about the people?"

"Ms. Zhang, you didn't see it - the people who suffered the most from the bombardment were not the soldiers, but the common people."

"I know that using the people as an excuse sounds like an excuse... But I also know that Commander Zhang has a compassionate heart, and that's why he wants you to return after completing your studies and use your skills to do something for our Northeast, right?"

The whole room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. Jiang Cheng told Zhang Tinghui about his next plan: "Siping will invest heavily in this type of construction in the future. In terms of pharmaceuticals, I have some relevant information, but I really lack talent for development."

"Miss Zhang, I, Jiang Cheng, am a rough and straightforward person, so I'll just say what I want to say. If you are willing to come to Siping to do research on pharmaceuticals, I am willing to do my best to provide everything you need!"
