Under the early morning light, a mighty carriage convoy appeared on the official road, escorted by hundreds of Ming Dynasty's elite soldiers with their heads held high.

The official who can have this kind of security standard is naturally Yang Shiqi, who came from Nanjing.

With Yang Shiqi's status, there were naturally many officials accompanying him.

In addition to local officials such as Wu Shigao, the chief envoy of Guangdong, and Fang Jian, the prefect of Guangzhou, heads of aristocratic families such as Chen Jiading and Li Shuhong were also there.

After all, in addition to being businessmen, they also have their own positions in the Federation of Industry and Commerce, which can be regarded as official status. They are qualified to accompany them.

As the magistrate of Dongguan County, Chen Jinghe took all the county officials out of the city early in the morning to wait. Standing in the front row of the waiting team, Chen Jinghe was still smiling in a daze.

In the past, when I met Yang Shiqi, the latter would wait for me in advance. But now, it was my turn to be humble and wait for Yang Shiqi.

And he left the city a full hour in advance to wait for the bus!

Seeing Li Yanzong organizing the gongs and drums, lion dancing and playing music, and then seeing Ge He busy sprinkling water to clean the streets and strictly checking public security, Chen Jinghe sighed in his heart.

These two people work really well together.

What Yang Shiqi could see when he arrived was naturally a Dongguan County full of flowers, singing and dancing.

It’s just that this flower is a hibiscus!

While he was thinking wildly, Li Yanzong beside him poked him.

"The county magistrate is here."

Chen Jinghe suddenly woke up and looked up, and sure enough, at the end of his sight, a figure of people and horses gradually became clearer, and then several flags in full array were shot out.

Yang Shiqi has arrived.

Thirty-eight-year-old Yang Shiqi is in his prime, the most golden age for a man, and he also happens to have the power to make decisions about a huge country. Therefore, when he saw the majestic Yang Shiqi at this moment, even Chen Jinghe couldn't help but feel a little bit. I was in a daze, and it was difficult to associate the person in front of me with the always amiable Uncle Yang in my impression.

If it weren't for the reminder from Li Yanzong behind him, Chen Jinghe would have even forgotten to salute.

And Yang Shiqi also got off the carriage amidst the sound of greetings.

Seeing Chen Jinghe who was very close in front of him, bending down to salute him, Yang Shiqi could not avoid him, nor could he help him. He could only try his best to maintain his majesty, arrogance and nobility.

"All my colleagues will be exempted."

Chen Jiading, who accompanied him, knew that Yang Shiqi was embarrassed, so he spoke at the right time to Fang Jian.

"Master Fang, this is the first time Yang Xingxing comes to Dongguan, so you have to help introduce him."

Fang Jian consciously took over this task. He diligently stepped forward and introduced Dongguan officials to Yang Shiqi one by one. The first one to introduce was undoubtedly Chen Jinghe, the county magistrate.

"Yang Xingxing, this is our new county magistrate of Dongguan County, and the youngest magistrate in Guangdong. His surname is Chen Mingjing."

Yang Shiqi hummed, but when he saw Chen Jinghe saluting him again, the corners of his eyes still twitched unnaturally.

With Fang Jian's introduction one by one, the official process was completed. A group of officials followed Yang Shiqi passed by one by one. Chen Jiading, who was hanging behind, whispered a few words to Chen Jinghe.

"Brother Jiading, Uncle Yang, are you here because of me?"

"Yes." Chen Jiading responded in a low voice: "Shiqi Gong said that the king already knows about your matter. When there is time later, Shiqi Guild will report it to you in person. Please don't be impatient."

The two were talking when Fang Jian, who was walking in front, happened to turn around and saw the two talking and came over.

"What are President Chen and County Magistrate Chen talking about?"

The two words "Chen" made Fang Jian bite a little hard, while Chen Jiading laughed and said, "Didn't County Magistrate Chen just come back from Nanjing, so I had a few words."

The word "come back" came out smoothly. It was said very naturally by Chen Jiading, and the meaning naturally changed in Fang Jian's ears.

Chen Jing is from our Chen family.

"Oh, maybe you two have an old relationship?"

Chen Jiading said meaningfully: "Prefect Fang also said just now that County Magistrate Chen is the youngest magistrate in Guangdong. He is a young and talented man. Naturally, I want to get to know him."

Chen Jiading clearly identified Chen Jinghe as a member of the Chen family before, but now he flatly denies it, making a confused gesture, but he is playing a trick of not having three hundred taels of silver here.

Fang Jian looked at Chen Jinghe who had a confused look on his face, and said to himself that you are pretty good at acting. You have learned a lot of official skills. Why are you so young and arrogant and thinking about causing trouble?

Fortunately, you are a member of the Chen family and are protected by Chen Jiading. As long as you no longer touch taboos that you shouldn't touch, I can really let you go.

The pleasantries outside the city didn't last long, and everyone's thoughts were naturally spent on the banquet inside the city.

The food of this meal made many Guangdong officials, including Wu Shigao, secretly frightened.

"Jiading."

Yang Shiqi raised the cup towards Chen Jiading: "You have done well in Guangdong in the past two years. Before I came here, your father specially found me and asked me to come here to see you. But now, it seems that you have already

I can now stand alone.”

The latter raised his glass and stood up, without daring to drink it all in one gulp. Then he poured another glass in return. Yang Shiqi also cheered cheerfully, giving Chen Jiading a lot of face.

The back and forth between the two really made Wu Shigao and others jealous.

Who is Yang Shiqi?

Who in the entire Ming Dynasty does not know that this person who has been Chen Yunfu’s secretary for more than ten years is truly the number two figure in the political circles of the Ming Dynasty.

Now he has transformed even more, and will soon transform from a minister to a king!

How could such a person be so close and friendly to Chen Jiading?

Wu Shigao glanced at Fang Jian calmly, and the latter nodded slightly.

The power of the Chen family is probably greater than imagined and cannot be easily provoked.

The two of them only thought that Yang Shiqi was supporting Chen Jiading's platform. Only the latter knew clearly that he was not supporting himself, but supporting Chen Jinghe. He was just a shadow bearer on the bright side.

Only by allowing Wu Shigao and other Guangdong officials to imagine their Chen family as powerful can Chen Jinghe, who was born into the "Chen family", be relatively safe.

Therefore, when Chen Jiading, who was full of confidence, toasted to Wu Shigao and others, he intentionally or unintentionally started to bring the topic to Chen Jinghe.

"I heard that County Magistrate Chen interned at the Beijing Stock Exchange when he was studying in Nanjing Engineering?"

Chen Jinghe had no idea where Chen Jiading made up these words, but in this situation, he was not mature enough and could only obey, so he nodded and acquiesced.

With this acquiescence, Chen Jiading and Fang Jian had a lot to talk about.

"Prefect, Magistrate Chen, for such a young and talented person to be placed in a county in Dongguan as a magistrate, would be a bit unqualified to deal with trivial matters all day long. It just so happens that the Canton Stock Exchange is short of people right now. I'd like to transfer you to see what happens.
