At the age of 35, he began to serve as the general manager of Zhejiang Industrial Bank and served many times. He served as chairman of the Shanghai Banking Association and later as chairman of the National Banking Federation, becoming a leader in the financial community. After April 12, he served as director of the Nanjing National Government Public Bond Fund Custody Committee. Later, he also held concurrent positions as chairman of the Bank of China and the central bank. Chairman of the early supervisory board, chairman of the Shanghai Banking Joint Reserve Bank, chairman of the Gold Yuan Notes Issuance Supervisory Committee, etc., were the main core figures of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang consortium. After the founding of the Republic of Nanhua, Li Ming opened chain stores in Xinjing, Haiphong, Hue, Da Nang, Saigon and other places. Among the restaurants, the one in Xinjing is the most luxuriously decorated and is one of the favorite places for the powerful in Beijing.
Afraid of being discovered attending Ye Qing's birthday banquet, which attracted many officials to harass him, An Yi did not take his special car, but asked Liang Zihua to find a "Venus" commercial car at random.
Originally, he was running around trying to get Shen Fengdao to rest more and didn't plan to call him, but Lao Shen didn't know where he got the news that An Yi was going to Ye Qing's banquet. He had already been waiting silently in the parking lot. An Yi shook his head and smiled. He smiled, hugged Lao Shen affectionately, and took the car to the restaurant without saying anything.
An Yi's car and the convoy of guards escorting him quietly drove into the parking lot. At this time, the parking lot covering an area of nearly an acre was already filled with various "Venus" sports cars, Venus luxury sedans and imported Fords and Mercedes-Benzes. While waiting for the famous car, An Yi and his party did not attract much attention.
For some reason, the parking lot was filled with drivers and well-dressed male guests holding flowers. While An Yi was wondering why these people didn't enter the restaurant, he walked to the door of the restaurant surrounded by Lao Shen and plainclothes guards.
Many people were ready to watch An Yi's joke and see the embarrassing scene of this well-dressed man being turned away by the security guard at the door. Who would have thought that the birthday boy Ye Qing, who was standing behind the door, saw An Yi from a distance and hurriedly greeted him Go up and say angrily:
"You little heartless boy, do you still know my sister? It's been more than two months since I last went to my sister's house, and you haven't come to see her. Are you avoiding me? There is also Zixin, who is waiting for you to find her with joy. She waited and waited and never showed up, which is so sad..."
Today, Ye Qing is wearing a black puffy dress with a pure white collar, a white bow, and a ponytail. The sideburns are at the level of the eyebrows in the front, and the ponytail is fluffy and naturally curved in the back. Paired with a black top hat, it looks like Brilliant.
An Yi looked at it and her heart was pounding. She thought it was some fashion design master who made Sister Qing more beautiful and charming, but she put on a miserable expression on her face:
"Sister Qing, are we talking about this? It's not like you don't know my situation. The fierce fighting in Central Asia is going on right now. The Ural front line is facing the threat of millions of Soviet troops. There are huge forces in southern Sichuan, southern Yunnan and South China. I have to worry about all my property. My younger brother is so obsessed with his career that he is afraid of making mistakes. How can he have the energy to take care of his children's personal affairs?"
Speaking of this, An Yi glanced into the porch and vaguely saw the veil and sideburns flying, and the sound of sweet smiles and moans could not be heard. He couldn't help but asked in surprise: "Why has it become a country of girls? I'm surprised you didn't invite a man. Guest?"
"Do you want my sister to invite other male guests?" Ye Qing rolled his eyes at An Yi, and then saw clearly the bloodshot eyes in An Yi's eyes, and his heart softened:
"Xiao Yi, you have endless things to do, so you have to pay attention to your health. Sometimes, relaxing your mind and talking about love is very good for relieving your body and mind and relieving stress. I didn't invite any male guests today.
Most of my friends are the female dependents of military and political officials in Xufu, southern Yunnan and southern China. There are also Zixin’s army of women. There are countless beauties. Do you want me to introduce you to a few of them?"
An Yi smiled slightly: "Everyone loves beauty, but now is not the best time to fall in love. By the way, Sister Qing, won't you be jealous if I stump you? And Zixin, if she knows about you
I want to introduce a girl to me, what will she think?"
Ye Qing saw An Yi's handsome, shaved appearance under the dim light and couldn't move his eyes away. He felt his heart beating unsatisfactorily, but he defended himself:
"It's much better for you to be a passionate prodigal than to be cold and heartless! During this period, Zixin went from being happy and excited to frustrated and disappointed, from gradually becoming silent to crying sadly, and you didn't come to comfort me. As a sister, I think
It hurts in my eyes and in my heart. I told you today that you are lucky to have come, otherwise I would have rushed to your house and scolded you to wake you up!"
An Yi felt a little guilty: "It's my fault...Is Zixin okay?"
"Now you know how to be considerate and caring for others? Don't worry, Zixin is not as fragile as you thought. She is preparing a birthday cake for me in the back... By the way, today is my sister's birthday, you won't come empty-handed, right?
?”
Ye Qing saw An Yi's empty hands and laughed and joked.
An Yi smiled, took out a bunch of keys from his pocket, and stuffed them into Ye Qing's hand: "This is the key to No. 8, Building A, Dongli, Hanli, Xiaonanhai. I know that you and Zixin don't have a fixed apartment in Xinjing.
, so I helped you get a house in advance... Don't thank me. According to your and Zixin's level, you already have a house in Xiaonanhai, but you just got it one step ahead."
Ye Qing knows that An Yi's words are quite meaningful. Xiao Nanhai Garden can be regarded as the real center of Nan Hua. Although the Government Affairs Council Building and the Party Headquarters Building to the west of Hoan Kiem Lake are nominally the highest administrative agencies of Nan Hua, anyone with a discerning eye knows that the real core is
Xiao Nanhai. Nanhua is a republic in name, but like the National Government in Nanjing, it is actually a military dictatorship. As the supreme leader of Nanhua, An Yi controls everything in Nanhua and even southern Sichuan and southern Yunnan. Since the entire military and political system is An Yi
Yi single-handedly created it, and now An Yi's power is only higher than that of Hitler and Mussolini in Europe. In other words, Xiaonanhai, which has a completion rate of less than one-tenth, has become more powerful because of An Yi's arrival.
It is equivalent to the royal garden in Nanhua. Whoever can live in it first means status and status.
Ye Qing did not show any pretense, and handed the key to the assistant who was helping her welcome guests. He smiled and nodded to Shen Fengdao behind An Yi, then took An Yi's hand, clasped their fingers, and walked side by side towards the hall.
There was a lot of discussion outside: "Who is that person? Why can he go in?"
"Isn't it so unfair? Doesn't it mean that men can't go in?"
"No, my girlfriend was inside, and suddenly a man came in, uh..."
Soon, a large group of men gathered in front of the door, but were stopped by the restaurant security, and there was a lot of noise.
An Yi heard the noise coming from behind and asked curiously: "Sister Qing, have you booked the restaurant?"
Ye Qing smiled like a flower: "That's natural. If irrelevant people interrupt my sister's birthday, how disappointing would it be? Our Ye family also participates in the restaurant opened by Uncle Li, so he still has to give it some face!"
An Yi's heart was like a mirror. Whether it was Nanjing or Nanhua senior officials, many people guessed that he was related to Ye Qing. Therefore, even though no one in the Ye family was doing business until Ye Qing's generation, those plutocrats still brought the Ye family with them and used Ye Qing's help.
The power of the family makes money. However, this is human nature, and An Yi will not stop it. After all, you can make the people around you live better without paying anything, so why should you be a villain in vain?
Walking into the hall, An Yi's eyes lit up. He saw that the antique-style hall covers an area of nearly a thousand square meters. Under the bright glazed lamps, there are fat and thin beauties everywhere. They are all wearing cheongsam or wide-mouthed short sleeves.
There are even dresses, including new gauze Tang Feng dresses and sequined Tang Feng dresses, which look pleasing to the eye and extremely moving.
Seeing Ye Qing and An Yi walking into the hall hand in hand, there was silence at first, and then there was warm applause. An Yi had never experienced such a pink battle, and thought to himself that there must be at least four to five hundred girls here, surrounded by them.
Everyone was met with scorching gazes, and all the noses smelled was a faint and provocative fragrance, which made the heart beat faster.
An Yi came close to Ye Qing's ear and said, "Sister Qing, there won't be any reporters here, right? If the people see today's scene from the newspapers, will they think that I am as shameless and dissolute as the ancient kings?"
Ye Qing rolled his eyes at him: "Do you think our press censorship department is vegetarian? My sister has a sense of proportion. She knows exactly how many reporters there are in Nanhua. And this time I hired people who know their roots, are from clean backgrounds, and are good-looking.
You're a decent sister. I'm letting you come out to relax, not to disgust you."
In the clean and tidy kitchen behind the restaurant, Ye Zixin was instructing the pastry chef to put candles on the tall triple cake. When she heard the thunderous applause in the front hall, she immediately understood who was coming and couldn't help but feel panicked.
At this time, Yu Kexin stumbled to the kitchen and shouted: "He's coming, he's coming..."
Zi Xin pretended to be calm: "Why panic? It's coming as soon as it comes. It's not like I haven't seen it before..."
Yu Kexin was a little surprised: "Director, you talk about him every day. Even in your dreams at night, it's Brother Xiaoyi, Brother Xiaoyi..."
Zi Xin's pretty face flushed, and she stamped her feet: "Kexin, what are you talking about? How can anyone else be so unbearable as you? A few years ago, I worked alone in Shanghai and lived a good life, didn't I?"
Yu Kexin joked: "I'm living a good life. I don't know who. Whenever they get news about someone, they cut out newspapers, magazines, etc. and collect them carefully...Okay, I won't talk to you."
As I said, the lights will be turned off in front soon. We will push the cake out later and when Sister Qing blows out the candles, you can see your brother Xiao Yi with your own eyes."
The chef in the kitchen didn't know which big shot was coming in front of him, but the restaurant manager had already greeted him. All the ladies and daughters attending the meeting today were not allowed to peek in and watch. Even the ones delivering food to the front desk could only be female waiters.
Men are absolutely not allowed to step into the front, so they can only keep their hands busy with deep curiosity.
When everything was ready, Zi Zixin directed several of his subordinates, together with Yu Kexin, to light candles and push them towards the hall. Before they reached the food entrance, dozens of glazed lamps in the hall were extinguished together, and then there was a neat
Singing "Happy Birthday to You".
In the dark hall, the cake dining cart filled with bright candles was slowly pushed in, and then surrounded by beauties, it came to An Yi and Ye Qing.
Ye Qing glanced at An Yi and saw that he was looking at him affectionately. His heart felt sweet, and he came to the cake with a happy face and blew out the candles one by one.
When the candles went out and the lights came on, there was a burst of cheers throughout the hall.
Zi Xin walked to An Yi and looked at An Yi affectionately: "Brother Xiao Yi, it's so nice to see you again..."
An Yi's old face turned red and he quickly apologized: "Zixin, I'm sorry, I've been so busy during this period. Even with my family, I spent more time together and didn't care about your feelings. It's my fault...
....”
"Pah——"
"Bang--"
"boom--"
A burst of chaotic sounds interrupted An Yi's words. An Yi glanced at Ye Qing in surprise, and Ye Qing also looked at him with a confused look.
An Yi thought for a while and walked to the corridor. He saw Shen Fengdao standing at the door of the restaurant with a serious face. Several plainclothes guards were scattered around, with their hands on their waists, ready to draw guns at any time. It seemed that there was some trouble.
