Chapter 629
"Since he couldn't control it, Li Cunzhi decided to cultivate and support the second force. If something unexpected happened in the future, they could unite to compete with Chen Tianhua, or force him to submit. So he solemnly promoted his third son, Li Pinzhang, and provided a stronger guarantee."
"Seven years ago, Mr. Yuan supported Li Cunzhi. On the one hand, he wanted to repay Li Zhongtang's support. On the other hand, he also wanted to place a free chess piece in Jiangnan so that it would be useful in the future. However, he never thought that Li Cunzhi's free chess piece would go out on his own.
We have acquired a large territory, and judging from the trend, we are likely to compete with Mr. Yuan’s Beiyang Clan in the future and become the next Northern and Southern Dynasties.”
"Of course Mr. Yuan cannot tolerate this situation. With his wisdom and experience, he first thought that it would be best to split up and disintegrate the Li Group. Therefore, he aimed at the rising Chen Tianhua."
"So where has this chess been reached now? Has Chen Tianhua agreed to cooperate?" Zhao Fengchang decided to carry out the stupidity to the end and continue to delve deeper.
"Is there anything in this world that can be accomplished so easily? Now, it is just an idea of Mr. Yuan and I. It will take some time to implement it, an opportunity that Chen Tianhua has to be prepared for."
Yang Shiqi suddenly felt that Zhao Fengchang's reaction tonight was a bit slow, not like the quick and agile person he used to be, who could do everything with ease.
This may be due to the wasted years of more than ten years, and the distance between the horns and the phoenix has been polished away.
"That's right, that's right!" Zhao Fengchang couldn't help but nodded stupidly with a smile on his face.
Suddenly, the sound of soft footsteps came from the corridor outside, and the Yang Mansion's housekeeper pushed the door open and said, "Master, there is a luxurious carriage approaching outside the house. It is said that it is an old friend of yours who has come specially to pay a visit."
"Who is my old friend?" Yang Shiqi asked in surprise.
He glanced at the Western wall clock in the room. The hands clearly pointed to nine o'clock in the evening. This time was neither too late nor too early. Many people were washing up and getting ready to go to bed.
As for the families of high-ranking officials, most of the people who came to visit them at this time were old friends or people with special missions.
"In reply to the master, this is the greeting card he handed over." The butler bowed and presented the card.
Yang Shiqi opened it and took a look at the beautifully made name card. There were only two lines of words on it: Meiguang Autonomous Region Xu Yunyuan
"You bastard, this...is this a kind of greeting post? You are clearly teasing me!" Yang Shiqi slapped the post back on the table with an angry look on his face.
The greeting post is a fashionable way for dignitaries to visit each other. The post is very beautifully made and inlaid with a gold frame. In addition to the visitor's surname, first name and given name, the post content also includes the number, official position, rank, etc., and the name is all available.
The higher the head, the more positions one has, the more one shows one's identity.
But what was submitted, apart from the name, was a nondescript unit title, which made Yang Shiqi furious.
When the housekeeper saw his master suddenly snapping at the table, he was so frightened that he trembled all over. He quickly bowed and apologized, "Please calm down, master. I will reject him right now."
"Wait!"
Zhao Fengchang, who was watching with cold eyes, stopped the butler who was walking out, picked up the post on the sandalwood desk, and pretended to look at it. Suddenly, he exclaimed as if he had woken up from a dream:
"Oh, brother Xingcheng, we have a distinguished guest at home. We should warmly welcome him into the house and don't neglect him!"
"What are you talking about? Who kind of distinguished guest is this?" Yang Shiqi, who was in a state of anger, was confused by Zhao Fengchang's mindless remarks. He frowned and asked in confusion.
"Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here... ah... you heard me right, please invite your distinguished guests in!"
Zhao Fengchang saw that Yang Shiqi hadn't reacted yet, but he couldn't say it clearly, so he just came and took care of everything.
"Then...then listen to Mr. Zhao, invite the guests to sit down in the small living room in the front yard, and say that I will be there in a minute."
Seeing Zhao Fengchang's rare generous offer, Yang Shiqi understood that Mr. Zhao might have known about this person's mysterious background, but he just couldn't tell it in front of the housekeeper, so he ordered the housekeeper to invite the guests into the house.
"Understood!" The butler turned and left.
"Brother Zhujun, tell me quickly, who is this person named Xu Yunyuan?" Yang Shiqi asked urgently after the housekeeper left.
"Xu Yunyuan, the King of Jiangnan Silk, the second daughter of Xu Jingshan, the head of the Xu family in Shengze, Suzhou, is also the niece of the wealthy Xi family in Shanghai. If this status is not enough to interest Brother Xingcheng, then she has another
You must be interested in my identity." Zhao Fengchang smiled, picked up the wine cup and took a sip, a bit mysterious.
"Oh Brother Zhujun, you've already done this, so stop showing off." Yang Shiqi was a little anxious.
"It's not that Brother Yu is trying to show off, but he's just a little excited to take a breather."
Zhao Fengchang took his time and resumed his previous role as chief staff officer, "Her other secret identity is that she is the second wife of Mr. Chen Tianhua, the governor of the Meiguang Autonomous Region, the virgin head of military investigation, and her nickname in the industry is Snow Fox."
"Oh...it turns out that a distinguished guest is here!" Yang Shiqi suddenly realized.
He really didn't know Xu Yunyuan, so he couldn't be blamed for it. Youdao was as separated as a mountain, Xu Yunyuan was engaged in counseling work, kept a low profile and never appeared in public, and Yang Shiqi was a big official, businessman, and upper-class celebrity. It was impossible for him to pay attention to underground activities.
For a working person, on the contrary, it is entirely possible for him to be noticed.
In these years in Shanghai, Zhao Fengchang was known as Zhang Zhidong's political think tank. To put it nicely, he was called a political activist, and to put it more informally, he was called a political broker. He provided domestic and foreign political intelligence and analysis to Zhang Zhidong.
Regarding Zhao Fengchang's special status, many celebrities in the upper reaches are well aware of it, and Yang Shiqi is certainly no exception.
Therefore, when Zhao Fengchang revealed Xu Yunyuan's identity, he was not surprised at all.
"Brother Zhujun, you said that Miss Xu and I have never met before, and she suddenly paid a night visit to Yang's house. What could be happening?" Yang Shiqi also wanted to test the level of this political broker.
"You don't need to ask me. If you go to the front yard and meet each other, everything will be clear to you, right? Haha..." Zhao Fengchang laughed but kept it secret.
Yang Shiqi shook his head helplessly and said with a wry smile: "That's right. Brother Zhujun, please come with me."
"Hey brother Xingcheng, I'm afraid it's inconvenient to have outsiders for such a private visit!" Zhao Fengchang declined in person, "Otherwise I'll wait for you here, or Brother Yu will go back home to rest first."
"Oh, Brother Zhujun, you and I are both wearing crotchless pants tonight. Why are you trying to avoid this? You can just check it out for me. I think this Miss Xu who visited the Yang Mansion at night must have come with bad intentions.
No good person will come!" Of course Yang Shiqi would not let Zhao Fengchang hide away and relax at this time.
"Okay then, I will accompany you on this trip."
