Twenty meters diagonally opposite him, two people were whispering in English about the news of Zhang Shicheng's murder. Because Zhang Shicheng did not go to the consulate general in the morning, they learned about Zhang Shicheng's assassination after asking the municipal government and canceled their meeting with the consul general today.

Yuan Ye knew that Zhang Shicheng was originally scheduled to go to the British Consulate General in the morning, and these two people seemed very happy that Zhang Shicheng was killed. Obviously, the status quo on the issue of the ownership of the judicial power of the concession had to be maintained for the time being, and the British side did not have to be caught between the Chinese and Japanese sides.

From the conversation between the two people, Yuan Ye determined that the two men were from the British Consulate General. One of them, a middle-aged man named White, obviously held a higher position in the British Consulate General, while the other young man named Miller was his subordinate.

This aroused Yuan Ye's strong interest in White. Although he didn't know his specific position, judging from the information he had and his participation in the negotiations with Zhang Shicheng, this person should hold an important position in the consulate general.

It was enough to know that he was the target for intelligence transactions.

He could contact him next, but of course not now, because He Li was right beside him and he was not wearing any disguise. He could only contact White without revealing his true identity, otherwise it would be more trouble than gain.

At this time, He Li had already ordered the dishes and a bottle of fine red wine.

When the dishes and red wine were served, the waiter filled the glasses for both of them and left. He Li picked up the wine glass and said with a smile:

"What should I say?"

She thought for a moment and said:

“I hope your work can be sold at a good price!”

Yuan Ye smiled and said:

"That's great. Now that I've made money, I don't have to pretend to be rich. I can treat you to delicious food every day."

"Okay."

He Li said happily.

My heart is sweet and my face is filled with a happy smile.

The two clinked their glasses and drank it all.

Yuan Ye poured wine for He Li, looked at He Li's blushing face, and said jokingly:

"Oh, have you forgotten what you said so quickly?"

"What?"

He Liqi said.

"It seems that she really forgot. I remember someone said an hour ago that she was a new intellectual woman who pursued gender equality."

Yuan Ye had a smirk on his face.

He Li's face turned even redder, and she said shyly:

"You are so mean. I won't talk to you anymore."

Yuan Ye smiled even more happily.

She immediately changed the subject and said:

"Boss Li asked you to use your real name on your work, why didn't you do that?

You will be famous soon!"

This question gave Yuan Ye a headache. It was indeed a bit unreasonable. How could a normal person not want to be famous?

I am eager to become famous!

But he couldn't tell her the real reason, at least not now.

If she becomes one of us in the future, she will naturally understand.

Yuan Ye smiled and said:

“Is being famous so important? Not everyone wants to be famous.

For example, I don’t have this idea.

As the saying goes, when you are famous, you will be surrounded by gossip. I just want to be an ordinary person, have fewer disturbances, and live an ordinary life.

This is not too much to ask, is it? "

Yuan Ye didn’t know whether his explanation was unreasonable or not, but at least it made sense. It just depended on whether you believed it or not.

He Li obviously believed it, and her admiration for Yuan Ye deepened.

She said with admiration:

"Your request is not excessive. I admire your idea. Compared with you, I am still too vulgar.

You did the right thing, maybe simplicity is the truth!

I want to emulate you!"

She once thought, what would she do if her family didn't allow her to be with Yuan Ye?

Because it is very likely to happen.

She thought she would ignore her family's obstruction and be with Yuan Ye, even if it meant betraying the entire family.

Now she is more determined to be with her beloved and live the life he wants. An ordinary life is not bad as long as she can be with him.

But will it really happen?

He Li's words made Yuan Ye feel ashamed. Yuan Ye knew that it was hard to say whether he could live an ordinary life in this life.

The woman actually believed it unconditionally.

Yuan Ye said with some emotion:

"thank you for understanding."

He Li happily picked up the wine glass and said:

"Shi Kai, come on, let's drink to our ordinary life!"

"Well, cheers to an ordinary life!"

Yuan Ye responded, clinked glasses with He Li, and then drank it all in one gulp.

But I felt sad in my heart that the Japanese pirates were rampant and the country was in ruins. It was a luxury to live an ordinary and peaceful life.

Especially for people like them who have a mission. Only by defeating the Japanese pirates and unifying the country can everyone live this kind of life, including himself and perhaps He Li.
