Chapter 351
After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Du Yuesheng thought he had worked hard and made great contributions. He wanted to take advantage of Mr. Qing's opportunity to reward him with merits and gain an influential position to enjoy the official career. At first, he fixed his eyes on the mayor of the Demon City, thinking that he could at least be the deputy mayor.
However, he did not make any money. Mr. Qing appointed Qian Dajun as mayor and Wu Shaoshu as deputy mayor.
In the following 1946, in order to reflect "democratic politics", Mr. Qing ordered "democratic election" to the Senate of the Magic City.
Du Yuesheng believed it and wanted to run for the Speaker's seat. However, when he was sure to win, Mr. Qing's oral message suddenly came: "The Speaker's seat is my hope, Pan Gongzhan will be the one."
Pan Gongzhan is a backbone of the CC department and a close confidant of Mr. Qing.
Du Yuesheng knew that his arm could not twist his thighs. After the election results came out, Du Yuesheng was elected as the Speaker. He immediately read out a resignation statement. So he held a second vote and elected Pan Gongzhan as the Speaker.
Since then, Du Yuesheng has been a little discouraged and has a estrangement from Mr. Qing.
He began to obey Qin Di's instructions and carefully arrange things in Hong Kong and Macau.
He thought to himself: "More than Mr. Qing, Master Qin is more generous! Not only did he give me a lot of money in Phoenix City, but he also left me 20% of the shares in the Macau casino! It's good for me to follow him. He can make money and have a good body. He has expectations for the next life. This is a good thing that is hard to find even with a lantern!"
So he took the time to build a big ship, personally brought 500 Qing Gang disciples, holding big sticks in his hands and pistols at his waist, swept across the local gangs, unifying the gang forces in Macau, and sent several apprentices to take charge. He also contacted Li Kuofa, the leader of the triad, to escort the casino.
Afterwards, Qin Di completely stayed away from politics, did not read books, read newspapers, listened to radio, turned a blind eye to the outside world, and devoted himself to making golden elixirs.
His golden elixir has completed 90%, and the remaining 10% is ink and wash skills. He is too impatient and needs to take it slowly.
Yan Xue's skill suddenly rose to the eighth level of foundation building, and she had to slowly adapt to it for several months, so neither of them went to the Cave World to practice.
Gu Rumei has returned to the Magic City and has played the guqin again in the Lanxin Grand Theater. Her skills have also improved a lot, not far from building the foundation.
On this day, she came to Qin's mansion and asked Qin Di for advice.
Qin Di guided her the foundation-building method and then gave her a bottle of pill: "Eat one in ten days. After eating, come and see me again. I will take you to somewhere to build the foundation."
Gu Rumei bowed to thank him: "Thank you sir."
Qin Di asked: "What is Ahu doing? Is he still in the army?"
Gu Rumei replied: "He asked for leave and stayed in Jiuzhaigou to practice."
"Okay, you can write him a letter, in addition to resisting foreign aggression, let him treat civil war negatively and not commit more murderous crimes."
"Sir, I read the newspaper and said that there has been a truce in the country."
"I know, but it's only temporary."
"Do you think you need to fight?"
"Yes, maybe it will take a few more years."
"Who will win in the end?"
Qin Di pointed at the north and Gu Rumei understood. Her understanding of this was very superficial and she did not understand the meaning.
Qin Di was too lazy to talk too much. As a cultivator, she would not be bullied no matter what, that was enough.
"You are only learning immortal sounds now, and it's a little bit monotonous. After you build the foundation, I will pass on your talismans and formations."
"Sir, is the talisman you mentioned the kind of talisman drawn by the Taoist priest?"
"The talismans drawn by Taoists are mostly fake. I will teach you how to draw real talismans. For example, the crane talisman can fly if it is released."
Gu Rumei was overjoyed: "Really? There is such a talisman? Sister Yan Xue, can you draw it?"
Yan Xue smiled and said, "I only know a little bit. The crane talisman has been drawn, but it can't fly."
Gu Rumei asked: "Why?"
Qin Di explained: "Because this is the end of the world, the air lacks spiritual energy, and the crane talisman can only fly dozens of feet. Because it cannot get the supply of spiritual energy, it will fall down soon. If it wants to keep flying, it needs to use spirit stones to provide energy. Spirit stones are very precious on the earth, so many spiritual talismans cannot be used."
“Then what’s the point of learning it?”
"One day, we will leave here. After going to a new world, the talisman may become useful."
"Sir, if you leave here, will you miss your family?"
Qin Di sighed: "After a hundred years, your relatives will be buried one by one, and there is nothing to be left to nostalgic for."
Gu Rumei lowered her head and didn't say anything. She was wondering if she would go back a few more times in the future and stay with her parents for a while. But her parents kept nagging, "Why are you not getting married yet?", which made her feel upset.
In mid-April 1946, Qin Hanxu and Huiko returned from Japan.
Since then, they stayed in the Magic City for 8 months every year and in Japan for 4 months. It was not until May 1949 that they took their youngest daughter Qin Xi to settle in Japan for a long time.
Qin Di asked Uncle San: "Do you want to renovate the old house? Or you can knock down the new one?"
Qin Hanxu replied: "Just keep the original appearance like this, full of memories."
Later, Qin Di met his uncle Qin Hanliang again. Qin Hanliang said: "I won't go back to live anyway, so you can do the old house. Whether it's pushed or retained, it doesn't matter."
At this time, Qin Hanliang, because he received gifts from Qin Di, got half of Mingzhou Home Textiles and the shares of Cathay Cinema, and became a well-known capitalist again, so he naturally didn't care about an old house.
So, Qin Di discussed with his third uncle again, knocked down the house that belonged to his grandfather and uncle, and built a garden on the original site. The garden, which originally had 2 acres of land, has now become four acres in size, with only two houses left in the house, which looks much empty and instantly improved the grade.
This is in Huangpu District, where every inch of land is valuable in the future, there are few four acres of gardens, which are still very conspicuous.
Qin Di has made up his mind that when his third uncle leaves in the future and settles in Japan for a long time, his house will be pushed down. By then, only one house will be left around, and the garden area will be expanded to five acres. And as the winner of his mother Zhu Wan's Nobel Prize, no one can covet her only property.
Of course, the premise of all this depends on whether his parents will stay in the Magic City. What is going on is not yet confirmed. History is too complicated, and many of the scientists who stayed behind have been impacted.
Qin Hanxu smiled and said, "A Di, with your amazing wealth, living in such a house is still a bit frustrating. You have bought the land in two hot spring villas in Japan, and I have brought the design drawings here too. Look, if you are satisfied, I will ask someone to break the ground next time I go back."
Qin Di glanced at him in a general way and smiled and said, "Okay, let's start building when you go back. Uncle San, have you bought a ranch for me in Hokkaido?"
Qin Hanxu said: "I bought a small ranch, which only has more than 500 acres of grassland. The advantage is that it is next to the hot spring villa in Hokkaido."
"That's even better. I'll live again in two years. Uncle San, I haven't seen Qin Zhan recently, what is she doing?"
"She withdrew from the Secret Power Station and is raising her baby in Hangzhou."
"Oh, Uncle San is thinking that he is grandfather!"
"Haha, yes."
