Chapter 86 Curious
This is a welcome hall.
The huge and brilliant crystal chandeliers hang high in the air.
The milky white marble is as smooth as a mirror, and rows of red satin-paved dining tables are neatly lined with delicious food. The round wooden tables covered with snow-white tablecloths are piled with various champagne and wine. The bartenders built several gorgeous crystal towers with transparent red wine glasses, and slowly flowed out of the glass bottles above the top of the tower. The overflowing champagne went down the wall of the glass, shining like stars under the dazzling crystal lamp, like the dreamy fountain in the water flashing with colorful light.
The soft musical talisman wanders among the crowd and flows quietly. People laugh and talk in this gorgeous and harmonious atmosphere like a dance party. At this moment, whether it is the rich people who are used to being high-profile in their daily lives, or the chess players who have long been used to fighting on the chessboard, everyone is elegant, gentle and humble.
Holding the red wine in his glass, Zhong Yang warmly welcomed the guests. This was a welcome banquet held in Tangwei Town because Chen Jiongming came here. As the actual master of Tangwei Town and had met Chen Jiongming before, Zhong Yang and Liu Jinyang naturally had to come out to receive it in person to show enough sincerity.
The well-dressed dresses, Zhong Yang and Liu Jinyang, both showed steady and consolidation that had nothing to do with age. The confidence and majesty brought by the increasing authority also made them radiate a unique brilliance, which was particularly eye-catching. The dark black suit with monotonous colors was soft and gorgeous, and even the buttons were carefully carved from jade.
"It is really my honor to Commander Chen to visit his humble house." As the owner of this place, Liu Jinyang and Zhong Yang's etiquette are impeccable. His respectful attitude and low-key expression do not have the kind of nouveau riche's ostentatiousness, which is very praised by Chen Jiongming.
He admired the two outstanding young men in front of him with a smile. Chen Jiongming's eyes were full of praise, and even the thick beards under his nose were stretched out, and he smiled cheerfully: "Haha, there is no need to be too polite. The two nephews are young heroes in Guangzhou City. I have wanted to come and visit them for a long time, but because of the previous things that happened. When I saw them today, they were indeed handsome and handsome, with a dignified appearance."
After saying that, he also shook hands with Liu Jinyang and Zhong Yang enthusiastically, and the three of them were talking and laughing. Such actions naturally attracted the attention of countless people, but most of them were looking at the optimistic and cheerful Liu Jinyang and the calm and heavy Chen Jiongming. The former was a new figure in Guangzhou City, while the latter was a powerful warlord with the weight of the powerful, all of whom were popular celebrities in the upper circle. Only Zhong Yang, as if the evening breeze in the night, was not valued at all, and just leaned quietly against Liu Jinyang's half of his body, like a low-key butler.
Slightly shaking the wine in the glass, Zhong Yang looked at everything around him indifferently, with his unfamiliar face and false smile. He didn't like socializing at all. Today, he came here just to observe what the upper-class celebrities in Guangzhou looked like. Unfortunately, he didn't find anyone worth noting. Just between these cups and chats, they just had their own circles. Zhong Yang was getting tired of this situation.
With regret, after accusing Chen Jiongming of guilt, he withdrew from the banquet and left the venue early. With leisurely steps, Zhong Yang was walking calmly towards a bright black Mercedes-Benz, which was his own private car, and the driver was waiting on the side.
"Zu Jie, let's go back first." In front of Zhong Yang was a tall man in a light gray suit. His expression was as cold as ice, but he gave people a sense of politeness and modestness. For Zhong Yang, he was an impeccable butler in his ability.
"Yes, young master." Bent down respectfully, Zu Jie opened the door of the rear compartment. Only after Zhong Yang sat firmly did he return to the main driver's seat and start the car.
With the low growling of the engine turning, the Mercedes-Benz slowly started and drove into the dark night in the distance.
The car disappeared under the moonlight, and the quietness of the road was once again restored.
The next morning, Zhong Yang, who had just woken up, heard a knock on the door outside the door.
"Come in."
The visitor was Zu Jie, the housekeeper of the beach villa, and the person invited by Zhong Yang. Although loyalty remains to be examined, his ability to do things has been recognized by Zhong Yang.
His expression was as indifferent and respectful as ever, and he never asked about unnecessary things: "Young Master, someone came to you in the mayor's office. He called himself the mayor's secretary, and his identity documents have been confirmed."
Zhong Yang really felt that the title of "master" was a bit harsh, so he asked Zu Jie to call him "master". He looked at the sequencing Swiss gold watch on the bedside. It was only eight o'clock in the morning, and Li Wansheng asked someone to come to find him. Zhong Yang was still thinking about what the other party meant?
"I'll go wash up first, let him wait in the living room."
"Yes, young master, I understand." After understanding Zhong Yang's meaning, Zu Jie nodded to show that he knew. After bowing and doing a manner, he slowly retreated and left Zhong Yang's bedroom.
After about ten minutes, Zhong Yang, who was well-dressed, went down to the first floor and met the mayor's secretary waiting there. Standing in front of Zhong Yang was a young intellectual beauty. Her tall figure and the sagging fabric of the suit doubled the ability of this professional woman. The white and bright shirt lined with cool trousers showed a low-key beauty.
Her face is like a peach and apricot, her eyes are like autumn ponds, and her hair is slightly curly, which has a feminine atmosphere in the new era. Moreover, looking at her dignified and beautiful smile on her face and the graceful temperament of a lady-in-law, we can see that she has received good family education and is not from an ordinary family.
Seeing Zhong Yang coming over, he stood up slowly, stretched out his white right hand with a smile: "Hello, Mr. Zhong, my name is Wu Qiuyi, and I am Mayor Li's secretary."
Feeling the softness in his hand, Zhong Yang immediately let go of Wu Qiuyi's jade hand. No matter how beautiful the woman in front of him was, it was not enough to make Zhong Yang's heart turbulent.
After the servant brought the tea, Zhong Yang said, "Let's talk short, Miss Wu." He has always disliked nonsense and was most annoying to greet each other like official business.
Looking at Zhong Yang's indifferent expression, Wu Qiuyi also felt that the beauty she was proud of was ignored by the other party, but she was not discouraged at all. Instead, she twitched the hair in her ears and faced Zhong Yang's coldness with a more confident attitude: "Mr. Zhong, I am getting up as a private person today and want to ask you something."
After taking a sip of fragrant tea in the cup, his eyes that were originally slightly closed slowly opened, and a terrifying cold light condensed: "What do you mean?" Feeling the meaning of the other party's words, Zhong Yang frowned his eyebrows and stared at the young intellectual beauty in front of him coldly.
"Some time ago, it was said that you personally ordered a group of innocent workers to be imprisoned. I want to ask if there is such a thing?"
The sound was like a yellow oriole, which was intoxicating, but Zhong Yang was not in the mood to feel the mystery of the rhythm. His expression was as indifferent as ever, and turned into an ice wall on his face: "No one can tell!"
After hearing such an answer, Wu Qiuyi was obviously stunned. She didn't expect that the other party was neither angry nor made any defense. It was a bit surprising to answer in such a simple and solemn voice. However, his eyes turned a few times and after thinking for a while, Wu Qiuyi did not give up because of this, but continued to ask.
"What are the reasons why do you have to have the power to mobilize the town guards? And they also illegally arrested 127 innocent people. Don't think that you have the power and power to do whatever you want here!"
Every word is like a pearl falling from the ground, crisp and pleasant, but the topic is sharp and straight towards Zhong Yang, who is sitting upright on the sofa. Faced with such a criticism, Zhong Yang's starry eyes are still as deep as an abyss, and the breath is as calm as a mountain. It is not without Wu Qiuyi's aggressiveness.
"I'm very busy and don't have time to talk nonsense with you. You can talk to my lawyer for legal consultation. I'll leave first." I ignored Wu Qiuyi's protest and got up and left. Zu Jie also stopped Wu Qiuyi, who continued to pester and prevented him from approaching Zhong Yang.
Wu Qiuyi was very frustrated about Zhong Yang's attitude. In her eyes, this was not the attitude that a gentleman should have. She breathed a sigh of relief in her chest, but facing Zu Jie, who was also cold-faced, she had no choice but to leave helplessly.
Wu Qiuyi is actually one of the students who returned to China. She graduated from the Department of Arts and Sciences at the University of Binsifania in the United States. His father is Wu Shuge, a famous barrister in Hong Kong. Her job in Tangwei Town was also due to her own curiosity that she came here. Everything in the town made her feel interesting and amazing. It is hard to imagine that there is a small town in China where life has reached such a superior level.
However, the workers' troubles happened a few days ago. Wu Qiuyi, who had been upset since childhood, came to the beach villa and questioned Zhong Yang on the spot. In her opinion, Zhong Yang was the kind of nouveau riche who had the power and power to die and died, and did not respect laws and regulations and human rights.
"Hmph! I'm so angry, what's that attitude?" As soon as I returned to the town government office of Tangwei Town, Wu Qiuyi looked angry, and the pair of full peaks on her chest were also rising and falling.
Another female employee next to him couldn't help but tease him when he saw Wu Qiuyi's angry look, "Oh, who made our young lady angry?"
"Don't mention it, an unknown nouveau riche!" Wu Qiuyi was venting her anger and unhappiness in her heart when she pressed her bag down hard on the table.
The woman next to her, who is also wearing professional formal attire, is as young as Wu Qiuyi in appearance. She is a lively and cheerful pretty woman. Her name is Chen Yinghe, and she is both a colleague and a friend of Wu Qiuyi, so she thought about rejoicing each other at this time.
"Who is it? How about telling me?" The nature of gossip began to break out, and Chen Yinghe's curiosity was out of control. He began to ask Wu Qiuyi who was still angry.
Unable to resist his friend's entanglement, Wu Qiuyi told the friend in front of her all the morning experiences. She originally expected her best friend to be united with her, but unexpectedly, what she was waiting for was Chen Yinghe's sigh.
"The Tangwei Town Public Security Administration Regulations clearly stipulate that illegal gatherings shall not be held in any name. If you want to ask him the reason, this is the reason."
After receiving such an answer, Wu Qiuyi was naturally dissatisfied. How could her self-esteem allow herself to admit defeat? So she began to refute: "Then you can't arrest all the workers. Can't you have any questions? "
Seeing that his friend was still holding on, Chen Yinghe was not angry, but smiled: "It seems that you just read the report of the Workers' Newspaper and don't understand the actual situation at all."
"What does it mean?" As if he realized something, Wu Qiuyi's voice also eased and became much deeper.
Seeing that his friends finally calmed down, Chen Yinghe slowly explained: "The publisher of the Workers' Newspaper is a red member headed by Chen Duxiu. Of course, they are completely from the perspective of workers and criticize all the bourgeoisie without mercy. I also learned the whole story from Jinyang. Do you want to hear it?"
Looking at the pride and pride of Chen Yinghe's mouth, Wu Qiuyi complained unhappily: "I know you couple are in love, so tell me what's going on." Chen Yinghe was originally a rich girl, and she fell in love with Liu Jinyang at first sight at a dinner party. Now she is in love and has reached the point of talking about marriage.
"The cause of the incident was that the factory was maliciously owed wages, but the workers also violated the law and used violent means to collect debts. They had a conflict with the factory. Due to the large number of people, it is understandable to dispatch the town guards. Moreover, not only the workers who were arrested were caused by trouble, but the main person in charge of the factory was also thrown into the police station, and it seemed that they would have to pay a huge fine. As for the workers, although there was a reason for the incident, they must be punished according to law, and they chose to fine 15 silver dollars or volunteer for free for three months after get off work. The handling of the whole matter was completely in line with local laws and there was no favoritism."
Although he learned the specific matter, Wu Qiuyi was angry when she thought of Zhong Yang's cold face: "Who is Zhong Yang? What qualifications do he have to use the town guard?"
Seeing Wu Qiuyi accusing Zhong Yang so unscrupulously, Chen Yinghe had to kindly remind him: "I said, Miss, please keep your voice down!"
"What's wrong? I said nothing wrong."
"Stop talking about using the town guards, he just wants to change the town mayor! Who do you think is paying for the town guards? The little taxes of the town government? Don't be naive. The weapons and equipment and training expenses of the town guards are not affordable by a small Tangwei Town."
"I have never heard anyone mention him." After learning about the huge power and energy the other party had, Wu Qiuyi also began to be curious about Zhong Yang.
After thinking about it carefully, Chen Yinghe didn't understand: "I don't know much. Jin Yang just told me that they are good friends and let me pay attention to dealing with the relationship."
The two women fell into their own curiosity.
