the innermost part of the heart

Ah Ci..." Ah Chu hugged Ah Ci back, and kissed deeply the person in front of him, but in this kiss, there was no desire, no possession, only overflowing nostalgia and warmth, touch and joy.

Ah Ci also slowly pecked and kissed Ah Chu's lips, the two of them seemed to be playing a game of lips and tongue, playing and rubbing each other, and the low and soft laughter echoed between their chests from time to time.The night was getting deeper, and the exhausted two finally couldn't bear the exhaustion and fell asleep slowly, but in their sleep, the embracing figures not only didn't separate, but they fit closer together.

Part 23

In the early morning of the next day, Ah Chu didn’t go to work, so he cleaned up at home, washing the sheets and quilt covers, but actually wiped almost all the stairs, windows and other places in the house, humming a song while cleaning .

"What did you feed him?" Yu Xiaojiang, Yang Muci, and Liu Ah Si stood side by side in the living room, watching Ah Chu busy in a daze.

Hearing Yu Xiaojiang's question, Ah Ci's face turned red, but he forced himself to calm down and said, "What?"

Fortunately, Yu Xiaojiang and Liu Asi didn't pay attention to him at all, "This symptom is obviously either from taking the wrong medicine, or taking a stimulant."

"I think the boss is just happy." Liu Asi scratched his nose. Although he didn't know much about the boss and Mr. Yang, he lived relatively close to them after all. I vaguely heard something, so I gradually began to understand something.

"Happy? Is there anything good about it?" Yu Xiaojiang thought that they were already together when Ah Chu came out of Ah Ci's room for the first time, so he didn't think much about it.

"Good thing?" Ah Si was in a dilemma, what did he say?

"What song is he humming? Why haven't I heard it?" It was Ah Ci's question that helped Ah Si out of the siege, but then Ah Si's face became more bitter, because, "Night...club. "In one sentence, the three stumbled words made Yu Xiaojiang and Yang Muci look at him at the same time.

Yu Xiaojiang looked at Liu Ahsi, and then at Yang Muci.

Ah Ci stared at Ah Si for a while, then nodded suddenly, and then walked towards his elder brother, "Brother, I will dry the quilt for you."

"Okay." Ah Chu agreed with a smile.

drying the quilt?Ah Si looked at the boss who still didn't know anything and the calm Yang Muci behind Ah Ci, muttering in his heart, the boss won't be sent to sleep in the study tonight, right?

In the afternoon, a group of four people went to work, and when they arrived at the office, they received a letter from the steward, saying that someone sent it over in the morning.When I opened it, it turned out to be an invitation card.

"Shanghai Gongrong Commercial Cocktail Party. What is it?" Ah Chu snorted coldly.

"The host and inviter is Japanese." Ah Si looked at his boss.

"Ten days later, the location will be in the International Concession." Yu Xiaojiang also looked at Ah Chu.

"Are you going?" Ah Ci asked more bluntly.

Ah Chu played with the invitation card in his hand, but what he was thinking about was, "What does Ono want to do?"

Just thinking about it, the phone in the office rang, and it was Xia Yuechun who called.

Xia Yuechun also said bluntly, "Ah Chu, have you received the invitation for the reception?"

"Yeah, why, you also received it?"

"Well, it's not just me, the British Consul has also received it, and the French police station... Ah Chu, this movement is not small. There are all walks of life in Shanghai, ranging from government officials to small business owners. It is said that Japanese I hired a three-story villa with a yard." Xia Yuechun's voice didn't have any ups and downs, but Ah Chu could hear the faint worry.

"What do they want?" This is what Ah Chu wants to know.

"Shanghai Common Prosperity, it's written on the invitation." Xia Yuechun pouted on the phone.

"Shanghai Common Prosperity!" Ah Chu sneered, "I think it's a blow to the whole Shanghai!"

"No matter what it is, you will know when you go." Xia Yuechun said.

"Are you going?" Ah Chu was a little surprised. Xia Yuechun had always been insensitive to this kind of purely commercial reception. His willingness to show up meant that he had a mission.

"Well, what about you?" Xia Yuechun affirmed.

"I'll think about it again." Ah Chu finished, before Xia Yuechun could reply, he added, "By the way, I'll take Ah Ci to your place for reexamination later and take a photo."

"Well," Xia Yuechun understood that Ah Chu wanted to come over to discuss face to face, "but I have an operation in the afternoon." Xia Yuechun looked at his watch, "It's five o'clock!"

"That's it." Ah Chu hung up the phone, and explained to Ah Si and Yu Xiaojiang, "Go and find out who has received the invitation from the companies that we have business with, and which ones are ready to attend. The Japanese made such a big move." , It’s clear to everyone that they’re going to show off, I don’t believe they didn’t respond. Also, give Deputy Director Han a call to see which important officials from the government are present, and what is their attitude?”

"Yes."

"Ok."

"Ah Ci!" Seeing that Ah Ci was going to follow Yu Xiaojiang and Liu Ah Si, Ah Chu stopped Ah Ci, "Please help me read all the contract documents for these two days."

Ah Ci obediently came back to look at the documents, but still asked, "You have assigned us all the work, what are you doing?"

"Me?" Ah Chuyi raised his eyebrows, and smiled at Ah Ci, "I'm in charge of talking about love."

Ah Ci glanced at Ah Chu, but in the end he couldn't say anything serious to his elder brother.

In the end, Ah Chu didn't stay idle in the afternoon, Ah Si and the others were calling their contacts, and acquaintances from all walks of life were also calling to find Ah Chu. It can be seen that Ono's invitation card has already caused Shanghai to explode.Ming Tang even came over in person, but what Ah Chu cared most about was the news of Young Master Rong's promotion.

"Rongsheng is coming? Isn't he in Chongqing?"

Ah Chu spread his hands, "Shanghai still has a few factories and commercial firms of the Rong family. Although I am basically in charge of them now, they are the properties of the Rong family in name. Young Master Rong is the young master of the Rong family. Ono sent the invitation letter to He's not wrong either."

Ah Ci shook his head, "I'm just surprised that he would agree, don't tell me that you two are brothers, he came all the way just to see you."

"Ah Ci," Ah Chu said helplessly, "It's true that I'm a slave in the Rong family, but it's also true that the young master taught me and protected me. I don't want you to have any prejudice against Young Master Rong and the Rong family."

Why didn't Ah Ci know?Just like it is true that Yang Yuhua harmed his parents, but it is also true that he raised him and worked hard to protect him in front of the Japanese.There is no simple difference between good and bad, but the influence of the size of what you do determines the nature of a person. Evil people will do good deeds, and good people will inevitably do wrong things. It all depends on the impact of the results.Ah Ci has never had any prejudice against Rong Sheng, but because of the grievance Ah Chu had suffered in the Rong family, he was inevitably unhappy, but he was also grateful for the Rong family's upbringing and cultivation of his elder brother, even though he had his sister protecting him. , but after all, the master of the Rong family has been dead for so many years. If it weren't for the protection of Rong Sheng, the young master of the Rong family, the eldest brother would not have the status and achievements he has today in the Rong family. "Brother, I have no prejudice against Rongsheng, I just think he came to Shanghai not so purely."

Ah Ci is really sensitive!Ah Chu looked at Yu Xiaojiang and Liu Ah Si in the distance, lowered his voice and whispered to Ah Ci, "Master is from the Communist International."

Ah Ci's eyes widened, and he whispered back, "Why are the people from the Communist International here?"

Ah Chu shrugged, looking like a soldier came to cover up the water and earth, "We'll find out when we meet."

"Does Xia Yuechun know?" The relationship between the CCP's underground party and the Communist International is very delicate, and it's hard for Ah Ci to say whether the coming of the Communist International is a good thing or a bad thing.

Ah Chu shook his head, but secretly paid attention to the movements of Yu Xiaojiang and Liu Ah Si, "He has his own channel, whether he knows it or not, he will not tell him from me." Ah Chu added at the end , "You are not allowed to say."

Ah Ci raised his eyebrows, "I don't know anything. Besides, what's the matter with me? I'm a dead person who doesn't make up anymore."

"Ah Ci!" Ah Chu shouted abruptly, startling everyone, Yu Xiaojiang and Ah Si all turned their heads to look in their direction.

Seeing his elder brother's pale face suddenly, Ah Ci knew that he had said something wrong, so he quickly raised his hands in a gesture of surrender, "I was wrong, I apologize."

Pointing at Ah Ci, Ah Chu gritted his teeth and said viciously, "Don't let me hear you say such things again." It's just that the slight trembling of fingertips can fool the two people in the distance, but not Yang Muci who is close at hand.

Ah Ci sighed slightly in his heart, and stretched out his hands to wrap his elder brother's hands into his own palms, "I won't say any more." In order to divert his elder brother's attention, Ah Ci simply asked, "When will Young Master Rong come?" ?" Just because of his elder brother's previous concerns, Ah Ci changed the name of Rong Sheng, and respectfully addressed him as Young Master Rong.

"It's not that fast. From the moment he makes a decision, to when he arranges his home, buys a train ticket, and the people here clean the house and arrange a place to live, it will take four or five days." Instead, he held Ah Ci's hand. , With Ah Ci's palm temperature sticking, Ah Chu quickly calmed down, and began to analyze Rongsheng's itinerary.

"Clean the house and arrange a place to live? Does he not live in our house?" Ah Ci thought that Rong Sheng would live directly on Songxue Street when he came this time.

"My small temple can't accommodate a Buddha like Young Master Rong," Ah Chu chuckled, "Our house is too small for the young master to live in, and besides, it's possible that the eldest young lady will come with her this time."

"Eldest young lady? Who? Hasn't Rongsheng's wife been dead for many years?" Yu Xiaojiang came over to talk to her. After all, she is now Rongchu's wife. If a family member comes over, she will also come forward.

When Ah Ci saw Yu Xiaojiang approaching, he quickly withdrew his hand, causing Ah Chu to stare at him.

"That's the old calendar, the young master is newly married, and you all know this person." Ah
