Expedition to Europe

Although Qin Zhiyuan did not want to be implicated too much, Guo Shenglong could not escape the blame for "not cultivating personal morality".

Guo Shenglong, as the governor of Wanghai Prefecture, was in a high position but could not even "cultivate himself and manage his family". If he continued to stay in the position of governor of Wanghai Prefecture, he would really be a charlatan.

Guo Shenglong has been in the business world for most of his life, and he is definitely decisive in killing, otherwise he would not be able to make it.

After this incident, Guo Shenglong knew that he could not escape, and he cleaned up the door before Qin Zhiyuan investigated, which was also an explanation to the government and the opposition of Lanfang.

It was enough to do this, as for whether it was "sacrificing the car to save the driver", there was no point in pursuing it.

Qin Zhiyuan did not treat Guo Shenglong badly. Although Guo Shenglong had poor personal morality and took the initiative to resign from the position of governor of Wanghai Prefecture, Qin Zhiyuan still arranged for Guo Shenglong to serve as the president of the Lanfang Chamber of Commerce, which was also a compensation for Guo Shenglong.

In fact, strictly speaking, the position of the president of the Chamber of Commerce is not bad. The Lanfang Chamber of Commerce is not an official organization, but it plays an active role in the social organization of Lanfang. In addition to formulating industry conventions and stabilizing the business order, the Lanfang Chamber of Commerce also undertakes semi-official functions such as disaster relief, charity, and poverty alleviation.

And when the Lanfang government is not convenient to come forward, the Lanfang Chamber of Commerce will make tentative contacts on behalf of the government and other forces to test the waters. If it succeeds, it will be good. If it fails, it will not affect the overall situation. It is a good auxiliary organization of the Lanfang government.

It is an unexpected surprise for Guo Shenglong to get the position of president of the Lanfang Chamber of Commerce. In Guo Shenglong's expectation, it is a blessing to avoid imprisonment this time. With this result, Guo Shenglong is already grateful.

Of course, while the Lan Fang government was seeking revenge, the music festival on Penglai Island was still going on. It was not stopped because of the accident on the first day. On the contrary, because of the accident, the artists and audiences attending the festival had a stronger sense of common hatred and hatred. Yes, the cohesion of Lan Fang was stronger, which was also an unexpected surprise.

However, except for the opening ceremony on the first day, Qin Zhiyuan and Julie never participated in the public activities of the music festival again. Instead, senior officials of the Lan Fang government and military giants took turns to participate, which also expressed the importance of the Lan Fang government to the music festival.

In fact, the music festival was tied together with the affiliated food festival and carnival. Qin Zhiyuan's original intention was to treat the period between the Western New Year and the Lunar New Year as a carnival, which would increase the festive atmosphere of Lan Fang and improve the overall national image of Lan Fang.

This carnival in the early 1920s was only the first one. Because the preparation was a bit hasty and the publicity work was not done well enough, it seemed that the festive atmosphere was not grand enough. However, as time goes by, Lan Fang's carnival will definitely get better and better. When the entertainment facilities on Lanling Island are completed, Lan Fang's carnival will have a greater influence.

February 14th is the traditional Western Valentine's Day. This day is the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month, exactly one week away from the Lunar New Year.

Qin Zhiyuan, as a Chinese, does not have the habit of celebrating Valentine's Day, but Julie is an out-and-out Westerner and still attaches great importance to Valentine's Day. Therefore, Qin Zhiyuan had to prepare a gift for Julie in advance.

At dawn in the morning, Qin Zhiyuan woke Julie up with a good morning kiss.

"Well... dear, good morning." Julie kissed back in a daze, not even quite awake.

Women are all emotional animals. Using a good morning kiss to wake women up from their slumber can give women the greatest satisfaction.

"Happy Valentine's Day!" Qin Zhiyuan's voice was sweet and greasy.

"Hey, happy Valentine's Day!" Julie buried her head in Qin Zhiyuan's chest, laughing a little muffled.

"Come on, come on, see what I prepared for my little princess." Qin Zhiyuan didn't intend to be mysterious, and took advantage of this time when no one was disturbing him to quickly send out the gift he was going to give.

Qin Zhiyuan prepared a heart-shaped red jade necklace buckle for Julie, which was processed by himself. In the necklace buckle was a photo of Qin Zhiyuan, Julie, and Qin De's family of three. Qin Zhiyuan carefully cut the photo in the necklace buckle into the same size, and then inlaid it in the pure red jade, which looked very warm.

"Well, it's beautiful, thank you." Julie was full of joy and stretched her neck to let Qin Zhiyuan help her put it on.

It must be inconvenient to operate while lying in bed, so Qin Zhiyuan and Julie got up and went to the dressing mirror in the cloakroom. Qin Zhiyuan put on the necklace for Julie himself.

Julie in the mirror was more beautiful than a flower, stroking the necklace on her chest and leaning against Qin Zhiyuan's chest with her eyes rolling.

"If it's at night, with candlelight and dinner, wouldn't it be more romantic?" Julie has high requirements.

"I'm afraid not. Today's schedule is full. I'm going to Jinzhou in a while, and I guess I'll be back very late at night." Qin Zhiyuan still felt guilty.

If you are not in the position, don't interfere in other people's affairs. Since Qin Zhiyuan is sitting in this position, a lot of time does not belong to Qin Zhiyuan himself. There are more things that require Qin Zhiyuan to come forward in person, so he will definitely owe something to the family.

This is also inevitable.

Westerners always pay more attention to the form of various anniversaries, while Orientals are relatively more introverted. Orientals are more accustomed to keeping their feelings in their hearts rather than writing them on their faces, but this kind of love is deeper and heavier.

Julie is obviously more attached. She ran back to the bedroom in small steps and brought over a dark gold jewelry box.

"I chose a jade pendant the day before yesterday and asked Orbach to consecrate it. Wearing it will make you feel like I am always with you." Julie was thoughtful, but unfortunately she didn't use it in the right place.

There are still differences between Eastern and Western cultures. Although Julie has lived with Qin Zhiyuan for two years, she still doesn't understand many things. It is obvious that Julie has not grasped the essence of "consecration", but this is also Julie's intention, and Qin Zhiyuan is still very surprised.

"Great, since the last incident, I have been restless. It's good to have this. I will take it as my amulet." Qin Zhiyuan immediately hung it around his neck, regardless of whether the jade pendant should be hung on the belt.

Seeing that it was getting late, although Qin Zhiyuan was a little greedy for the warmth of the family, he still took out his perseverance to wash up and prepare to go out.

Misha and Dong Xingxiu were already waiting at the door. Seeing Qin Zhiyuan and Julie coming out, Misha smiled and nodded to Julie, and Julie returned the kindness, then looked at the caravan in confusion.

"You look so beautiful today!" Qin Zhiyuan didn't dare to talk too much to Misha.

"Thank you, you are also handsome!" Misha rolled his eyes, saying "I knew it would be like this", and put his hands in his pockets without taking them out.

"Why, is there a gift for me?" Qin Zhiyuan couldn't help asking, and he wanted to slap himself in the face as soon as he said it.

Men, sometimes they are just cheap bones, knowing that the food may not taste good, but they still can't help talking about it.

Of course, Misha must have a place in Qin Zhiyuan's heart, otherwise, Qin Zhiyuan would not have blurted out in front of Misha without any defense.

"No, it's not for you, it's just a toy prepared for Napoleon, do you want it?" Misha still looked sarcastic.

"Well, forget it." Qin Zhiyuan didn't want to compete for favor with a dog.

Soon, the car arrived at the airport, and Qin Zhiyuan, Misha, and Dong Xingxiu took a plane to Palembang, the capital of Jinzhou.

Palembang, also known as Water City, is the largest port and city on Jinzhou Island and the administrative center of Jinzhou Island.

Jinzhou's geographical location is very important. It is separated from Singapore by the Strait of Malacca. The island is rich in resources. There is a large refinery, which is connected to the oil fields in the Musi River Basin and Jambi by oil pipelines; there are also industries such as rubber, shipbuilding, ceramics, textiles, machinery and coffee processing.

Qin Zhiyuan's task today is to inspect Jinzhou. During this period before the New Year, Qin Zhiyuan will try his best to visit Lanfang. It can also be regarded as supervision and urging.

The governor of Jinzhou is Zhang Jinmao, who is also a wealthy man in Lanfang. He joined Qin Zhiyuan's army at about the same time as Huang Bohan. After Lanfang was established, Zhang Jinmao served as the governor of Jinzhou, which can be regarded as hard work and great achievements.

"Your Majesty, you have worked hard all the way." Zhang Jinmao was respectful at the Palembang Airport.

How could he not be respectful? Just a while ago, Guo Shenglong, who was in a similar position to Zhang Jinmao, was taken down by Qin Zhiyuan, and was demoted from the head of a state to the president of the Lanfang Chamber of Commerce. Although the two positions were of similar importance, it was obvious that the title of the governor of Wanghai State was more famous.

"Let's go, let's talk while we walk." Qin Zhiyuan didn't want to waste time on politeness, and got on the same car with Zhang Jinmao.

"Jinzhou is pretty good this year, especially since half a year ago, the influx of Annan people has brought a lot of labor to Jinzhou. We are currently expanding the scale of Palembang, building more docks and larger docks, and strive to build Palembang into the largest port in Southeast Asia by the end of this year. At the same time, we also need to build supporting warehouses and other dock facilities. In addition, basic transportation needs to be strengthened, so Your Majesty, the finances still need to be more inclined." Zhang Jinmao started complaining as soon as he got in the car.

In terms of port and shipyard scale, there is no other port in South Asia that can surpass Cam Ranh Bay. However, Cam Ranh Bay is a military port after all. It can be used for civilian purposes, but it is definitely more military-oriented. Therefore, it is of great significance to have several docks like Jugang to assist.

"It's okay. Just build it. Report the amount of money you need. As long as it can withstand the review of the Ministry of Finance, Congress will not be stingy." Qin Zhiyuan gave a reassurance.

This day's inspection was actually a quick tour. Every time we arrived at a place, the basic procedures were fixed. We first looked at the site, then held a site meeting, and then a symposium. Basically, it was over, and then we would move to another place, and we didn't even have time to eat a bite.

After a day like this, it was already ten o'clock in the evening when Qin Zhiyuan returned to Penglai Island.

When he parted with Mi Xia, Qin Zhiyuan looked at Mi Xia's bleak figure in the twilight, and finally couldn't help saying, "Happy Valentine's Day!"

"You too!" Mi Xia replied quickly, her eyes shining abnormally under the light of the car lights.
