Chapter 45 Ripples

Zhuang Xiaoman was talking impatiently to a young man with oily hair and pink face, but his eyes were always focused on the entrance of the bar. At this time, Li Jie just arrived. Zhuang Xiaoman's eyes lit up, and he gave the man in front of him a look.

Said apologetically.

"Master Zhou, I'm sorry, my friend is here, please excuse me!"

The young man with oily hair and pink face looked sinister and snorted: "Oh? I want to see who it is!"

After saying that, he turned his eyes to the entrance, and his expression changed after seeing the person clearly, but he did not flinch and followed Zhuang Xiaoman and walked over step by step.

Zhuang Xiaoman took Li Jie's hand and said to the young man: "Mr. Zhou, let me introduce you. This is Xiao Tu, my lover."

Li Jie suddenly understood after hearing this. It seemed that Zhuang Xiaoman was using him as a shield. He smiled at the man in front of him and said, "Hello! I'm Xiao Tu."

The man opposite said in a bad tone: "Mr. Xiao, of course I know your name. Haha, I didn't expect you and Xiaoman to have such a relationship. This is the first time I've heard of it."

Zhuang Xiaoman chuckled: "Why, do I still have to report to you, Mr. Zhou?"

Zhou Feiyu raised his eyebrows: "That's not true. It's just that I've never heard from you, Xiaoman, that the most beautiful flower in Shentan Beach actually has an owner. It was a bit hard to believe for a while."

Zhuang Xiaoman glanced sideways at Zhou Feiyu, then stood up on tiptoes and kissed Li Jie's lips. The sudden kiss caught Li Jie a little off guard, and he only felt that it was fragrant and soft, and Zhuang Xiaoman had already pulled away before he could taste it carefully.

, after taking a closer look, Zhuang Xiaoman's breathing was slightly rapid, his cheeks were slightly red, and his eyebrows were even more delicate.

Seeing this, Zhou Feiyu's face turned as red as pig liver. He pointed at the two of them and said angrily: "You...you..."

Li Jie took a step forward and looked down at him: "What, you, why, you haven't seen it before! Do you want to see it again?"

After saying that, he turned around and glanced at Zhuang Xiaoman teasingly. Zhuang Xiaoman couldn't help but roll his eyes when he saw this.

Zhou Feiyu only thought that the two were flirting in public and regarded him as nothing. He immediately babbled and prepared to refute. Then he thought of the recent rumors. The man in front of him was highly appreciated by the Japanese high-level officials. He was afraid that he could not afford to offend him, so he could only snort.

He walked away with a puff of his sleeves.

When Zhou Feiyu walked away, Li Jie turned around and asked, "Who is this person?"

Zhuang Xiaoman smiled helplessly: "The young master of Zhou Fohai's family is usually uneducated and has no skills. He hangs around relying on his father's reputation. He is a famous playboy in Shentan Beach, by the way."

After speaking, he paused and continued: "Don't take what you just said seriously. I really can't bear the harassment. With your identity this time, I believe he will not harass me again in the future."

Li Jie chuckled: "I hope he keeps harassing you, hehe."

Zhuang Xiaoman rolled her eyes at Li Jie: "You have a pretty good idea."

Zhuang Xiaoman didn't know what happened just now. She only remembered that her head was hot at the time, and her sudden actions shocked her. Normally, she wouldn't have to do this when dealing with such a playboy.

"Okay, I have a new mission for you this time."

Li Jie stopped teasing after hearing this, and the two of them walked to their old seats. After sitting down, they called the waiter and ordered a bottle of red wine.

Zhuang Xiaoman picked up the wine bottle and poured a glass of wine for Li Jie: "Xiao Tu, do you and Zhou Fohai usually interact?"

Li Jie was stunned when he heard these words. Could it be that the military commander planned to instigate Zhou Fohai?

It is different from picking chestnuts from the fire, if you are not careful, you will get burned.

"There is no intersection. Why, are you asking us to instigate him? To be honest, this is an almost impossible task!"

Zhuang Xiaoman shook his head: "That's not true. The new webmaster just asked us to collect information on Zhou Fohai's recent situation. It should be to prepare for the future. And even if it is not our turn to instigate rebellion, it must be those big shots who personally take action.

"

Li Jie thought thoughtfully after hearing this. A new station leader has arrived at the Military Command Shencheng Station. It seems that Minglou and Mingcheng are going to be silent. As the saying goes, it is better to be quiet than to move. In the current situation, if you do more, you will make more mistakes, and if you do less, you will make fewer mistakes.

, it is better to do nothing and wait until all the dust has settled before making plans.

Zhou Fohai now holds a high position of authority and is flourishing within the new government. In addition, the Nationalist Government is in decline on the frontal battlefield. Instigating rebellion against him will not be accomplished in one day. This matter requires long-term consideration.

"Zhou Fohai? Isn't that his young master just now? Why don't you try to find a breakthrough from him?"

Zhuang Xiaoman glanced at Li Jie coquettishly and smiled: "Just him? Haha, Xiaoman would rather take a risk than make a fool of himself with him."

Li Jie looked at Zhuang Xiaoman with a smile and said nothing. After a while, Zhuang Xiaoman couldn't stand the suspicious look, so he reached out and took out a cigarette from his handbag. Just as he was about to light it, Li Jie shook it with his big hand.

“Smoking harms your health, it’s better to smoke less!”

Zhuang Xiaoman only felt that the palm of the hand he was holding was hot, and he said while withdrawing his hand: "I know, sorry!"

Although she said this, she stopped lighting the cigarette. She put the cigarette case she had just taken out into her handbag. After thinking about it, she took it out again and threw it on the table.

Li Jie smiled slightly: "By the way, I just have something to inform you. Two days ago, I was invited by Kenji Ishihara and offered a consultant position in the Japanese Army Staff Department."

Zhuang Xiaoman had also heard rumors these days that Li Jie was appreciated by Kenji Ishihara, the chief officer of Shencheng Command. At first, she didn't quite believe it. After all, Kenji Ishihara and Li Jie had absolutely nothing to do with each other.

He didn't believe it until he heard what Li Jie said personally, and asked with a surprised expression.

"How did you get connected with Ishihara?"

Li Jie did not keep it secret, after all, it was not a shameful thing, and then told the cause and effect of the matter one by one. Upon hearing this, Zhuang Xiaoman opened his lips slightly, and his eyes filled with color.

"I didn't expect Mr. Xiao to have such ability. Xiaoman really admires him."

Whether the Japanese were to 'move north' or 'move south', they would definitely need to mobilize troops. This would relieve the pressure on the National Government in disguise. Therefore, Zhuang Xiaoman had no other ideas about Li Jie's advocacy of 'move south'.

In the dead of night, the moonlight shone on the floor through the gaps in the curtains. Zhuang Xiaoman tossed and turned and could not fall asleep. He had so many thoughts in his mind. He got up and walked to the window to pick up the cigarette on the high table. A spark flashed and he was ready to light it.

As I smoked a cigarette, someone seemed to be whispering in my ear, "Smoking is harmful to your health, so it's better to smoke less."

Zhuang Xiaoman paused for a moment, then blew a breath to extinguish the fire. He stared at the night outside the window and sighed leisurely, murmuring: "Why am I meeting you at this time?"
