An Yi entered the spacious and luxurious private room and smiled politely at the welcoming Jiang Dingwen and his wife. After calling him brother and sister-in-law, he quickly walked to Chiang Kai-shek's side. He did not bother to respond to the smiling faces in the room and respectfully gave a military salute to Chiang Kai-shek.
Chiang Kai-shek nodded slightly and asked An Yi not to be too polite. Then he pointed to the empty stool opposite and motioned for An Yi to sit down. An Yi agreed in a low voice, and then bowed politely to Jiang Dingwen and Cai Wenyuan's parents, amidst the praise.
He came to an empty chair and sat down, straightening his chest and back, and behaved himself, not daring to relax at all.
Liu Zhi, who was on Chiang Kai-shek's right, ordered the waiter to fill An Yi's glass with wine, and told everyone with a smile that An Yi had a good capacity for drinking, and could handle one or two kilograms of white wine, which immediately caused a burst of laughter.
He Yingqin, who was sitting on the left side of Chiang Kai-shek, basically ignored An Yi's presence and only talked to Gu Zhutong beside him without even looking at An Yi. An Yi seemed respectful, but in fact he didn't care. He was patiently waiting for Chiang Kai-shek to speak.
I planned to leave this restrictive place as soon as possible after going through the cutscenes, and go to the front hall to hang out happily with all the Huangpu brothers.
Before Chiang Kai-shek could finish wiping his mouth, Song Meiling's sweet voice came from the table next to him: "An Yi, come here first, and I'll introduce you."
An Yi saw Chiang Kai-shek smiling and waving generously, stood up quickly, came to Soong Meiling and greeted in a low voice: "Please give me your instructions, Master."
"Don't be so nervous. Relax and show your magnanimity on the battlefield."
Song Meiling stood up and gently brought An Yi close to her, introduced An Yi to a table full of jeweled wealthy women, and then introduced a group of smiling women to An Yi, and then joked to everyone whether An Yi is handsome and the best among people.
?It made An Yi blush and could only giggle, making the whole table full of female relatives extremely happy.
An Yi first bowed to the smiling Zhang Jingjiang, then respectfully said hello to Gong Qian and Ye Qing next to Zhang Jingjiang, and finally greeted Song Ailing and others in agreement, said goodbye politely, returned to his seat, and sat down after hearing
A delicate question came from behind, "Does General An look so handsome and have a family?" He almost overturned the chair in a daze, making the whole room laugh again.
The laughter stopped and Chiang Kai-shek slowly stood up. Jiang Dingwen quickly handed a wine glass to An Yi and asked him to go with him. An Yi had no choice but to follow Chiang Kai-shek and Jiang Dingwen to the table where Huang Huangrong and Du Yuesheng were.
When Huang Jinrong and others saw Chiang Kai-shek coming in person, they all stood up to greet him. Facing the eyes with different expressions on the smiling faces with the same smile, An Yi politely smiled and bowed his head in salute, with a humble attitude, and glanced at the people in front of him.
The images of everyone are in mind.
Chiang Kai-shek politely introduced everyone to An Yi one by one, and finally introduced Huang Huangrong and Du Yuesheng beside him in detail:
"An Yi, this is Mr. Huang Jinrong, who is also my teacher, and this is Mr. Du Yuesheng. They are both the leaders of the Chinese Communist Association and one of the main leaders of the Shanghai General Chamber of Commerce. They have contributed greatly to the cause of the party and the country.
You are still making contributions now, please get to know each other, and if you have any questions in the future, please feel free to ask these two seniors for advice."
"I have admired the names of my seniors for a long time. An Yi is deeply honored to meet these two seniors."
An Yi bowed politely, raised his glass at Jiang Dingwen's signal, and toasted respectfully to Huang Jinrong and Du Yuesheng. The three of them touched each other lightly and smiled at each other. Du Yuesheng looked at An Yi with appreciation and took a sip of the wine. Huang Jinrong
Rong saw An Yi drain the full glass of foreign wine, nodded with satisfaction, took a big sip with a smile, and said that he was a formidable young man, he was indeed a heroic boy.
Chiang Kai-shek was very satisfied with An Yi's performance. He was slightly surprised when he saw An Yi picking up the wine filled by the waiter and walking towards Feng Jingyao and his son. Then he remembered something, nodded and smiled and watched quietly. Jiang Dingwen, Huang Huangrong, and Du Yuesheng didn't know who they were.
What's going on? Everyone watched quietly as An Yi walked up to Feng Jingyao and his son and bowed respectfully. They were wondering when An Yi established contact with the Feng family.
After An Yi saluted, he said to Mr. Feng, who was looking at him with a smile: "Senior Feng, Mr. Feng, this junior is Jieyun's friend. I originally planned to visit the two seniors at home tomorrow morning, but I didn't expect that I would be honored to meet you here."
Come, I would like to toast the two seniors with a toast, wish them happiness and good health, and wish them a happy New Year."
Mr. Feng laughed heartily, stroking his six-inch long white beard with one hand and holding the wine glass with the other amidst the laughter of everyone's sudden realization. He said happily: "I have heard about General An's illustrious reputation for a long time. I saw it today."
Our young hero, the famous general of the Northern Expedition, is truly lucky! It’s a pity that Yun’er has gone to England to study, otherwise it would be more perfect to have a happy gathering today! General An, please!”
"Welcome General An to visit me tomorrow. General, please!"
Feng Jieyun's father had a smooth and rosy face, a well-proportioned figure, and good looks. He smiled meaningfully and politely picked up the wine glass. Seeing An Yi holding the glass in both hands, he boldly drank first in respect, and drank half the glass elegantly.
, showing a faint smile to An Yi.
Amid the applause, Kong Xiangxi stepped forward and happily introduced: "General An is the major shareholder of our Jiangnan Group. Many products produced by Jiangnan Group's subordinate factories were designed and developed by General An himself. They are now sold throughout the country and exported to Europe and the United States.
.Later last year, General An generously transferred most of our shared shares in the Jiangnan Arsenal to
It was transferred to the central government, and then began to cooperate closely with the family businesses of Mr. Feng and Brother Qianru (Feng Jieyun’s father, Feng Xunchen). Jiangxi Industrial and Commercial Bank controlled by Jiangnan Group also started exchange business with Brother Qianru’s Bank of Shanghai. We, the president of Jiangnan Group,
Manager Mr. Zhou will soon become Mr. Feng’s grandson-in-law, and he will be his own from now on!”
Everyone burst into congratulations. Du Yuesheng and Huang Huangrong looked at each other and secretly regretted that their bank, Zhonghui Bank, was in the midst of intense preparations. If they took a step tonight and allowed the Feng family to take the lead in cooperating with the powerful Jiangnan Group, they would not be able to do so.
It's a pity not to mention it. What the two of them didn't know was that the 60% share of the arsenal transferred to the central government had gained a lot under Kong Xiangxi's skillful operation. He, An Yi, and Ou
All three of Yaoting made a fortune. Kong Xiangxi used the one million he earned to invest in the Xingzi Thermal Power Plant on the shores of Poyang Lake. Ou Yaoting used the one million he earned to invest in the emerging radio industry and expand the pharmaceutical industry. An Yi invested
All the 2.5 million he received was used for the introduction of military technology and advanced military production equipment. Everyone has different ideas and uses the money differently, and their contribution to the country and nation is also very different.
Except for Kong Xiangxi, only Chiang Kai-shek knew of An Yi's high integrity and full-hearted devotion to the country and the people. At this time, listening to Kong Xiangxi's praise of An Yi and his introduction to Jiangnan Group, Chiang Kai-shek was also satisfied and proud of his student, and turned to
Huang Jinrong and Du Yuesheng whispered that An Yi was his best student and could write well.
Being able to fight can make more money, and told them that they could cooperate with An Yiduo in industrial investment in the future, which immediately made Huang Huangrong and Du Yuesheng feel relieved. Both of them knew the weight of Chiang Kai-shek's words that sounded light, and at the same time they were more
Clearly aware of An Yi's strength and his status in Chiang Kai-shek's mind.
After the greetings, everyone sat down again. An Yi, who wanted to leave as soon as possible, was firmly held down by the groom's officer, Jiang Dingwen, and An Yi could not leave until he made a round of toast.
An Yi had no choice but to toast to the parents of Jiang Dingwen and his wife, then Jiang Dingwen and his wife, and then it was Liu Zhi and Gu Zhutong's turn, but they turned a blind eye to He Yingqin. Jiang Dingwen wanted to take this opportunity to let An Yi toast.
After improving their relationship with He Yingqin, An Yi put down his wine glass and left with a smile on his face, leaving Jiang Dingwen and his wife looking at the livid He Yingqin and sighing.
Chiang Kai-shek, however, seemed to have seen nothing and was not unhappy at all. He did not drink alcohol, only water. When he saw An Yi leaving, the atmosphere was a bit awkward. He smiled slightly and raised his water glass to toast everyone. He even touched it with He Yingqin beside him.
The atmosphere slowly became lively.
After drinking a lot of wine, An Yi felt really uncomfortable. He glanced around, rushed into the bathroom and vomited out all the wine. He rinsed himself out, washed his face and mouth, looked around to see if there was no one around, took a long breath, shook his head and laughed at himself in a low voice.
One sentence: "Grandma, you are asking for trouble!"
"Haha, no wonder I never see you drunk. You are so cunning."
An Yi was startled when he heard the sound. He saw Dai Li coming out of the bathroom next door, smiling and buckling his belt. Then he took out a handkerchief and wiped his hands with confidence, complaining angrily:
"From the beginning, you were the most cunning at the wine table. You quietly sow discord. Occasionally, with a word or two to fan the flames, you made a group of fellow apprentices fight to the death. You also pointed the finger at your younger brother several times, but you didn't have to drink to enjoy yourself.
Zi Zi, my little brother hasn’t exposed you yet... By the way, why did you run to the bathroom? I remember you ran there several times today, you don’t have anything to hide, right? "
"Go, go, go, I'm in great health, you're not normal!"
Dai Li spat at An Yi, and then smiled smugly: "The First Division, the Ninth Division and the nearly a hundred brothers in the attendant's room drank together. Because my brother was on the battlefield, he was worried that the distance would be too close and harm the fish pond, so he ran in to hide.
, I didn’t expect that I happened to find your kid cheating, now you have nothing to say, right? I wonder how many of you will be able to stay awake when you go to the big world later?”
"It's best not to wake up. It's best to let those loud-voiced brothers and sisters drink until they are delirious. Otherwise, nearly a hundred people will all rush into the big world. This one wants foreign wine and another wants coffee. Maybe the lady will not pay the bill."
, my little brother is really prosperous." An Yi joked.
Dai Li laughed knowingly after hearing this: "Who calls you a coward? With so many people in Huangpu, you are the only one who nourishes our lives, so naturally we want to fight with you! But it's rare for brothers to get together, no matter how much it costs, we can't
It’s only this time, and what’s even more rare is that friendship! As long as I, the soldiers of Huangpu, work together and work hard in one place, who in the world can stop us?”
An Yi naturally understood the stakes and patted Dai Li's shoulder knowingly.
Dai Li sighed and added: "After this disarmament and reorganization, the principal has obviously increased his control over the army. Seeing that a group of our brothers have come to the front to command the army, I have accomplished nothing..." At this point
, seeing an outsider entering the bathroom, Dai Li automatically closed his mouth, took out a cigarette and lit it with An Yi.
When they came to the corridor outside, An Yi comforted him: "You will be valued when you work beside the principal, and you don't have to compete for a short time. I believe that your future achievements will be determined by those of me in Huangpu!"
Dai Li smiled and didn't say anything else. He quickly finished smoking a cigarette, and then he and An Yi went back together, shoulder to shoulder.
Seeing that the Huangpu Department occupying half of the hall was enjoying the school drinking contest, the two looked at each other and smiled knowingly, then quietly returned to their original seats and sat down.
Before the two of them could appreciate the battle, they were caught by Hu Zongnan, who had been watching. Li Yannian and more than a dozen people also joined in the condemnation, cursing An Yi and Dai Li for running away halfway, and forced the two of them to drink seven rounds without explanation.
It took eight cups to calm down the anger.
An Yi felt even more uncomfortable after holding so much wine in his empty stomach. He even lost the mood to distinguish. He quickly grabbed the chopsticks, picked up the bowl and ate, making the frowning Dai Li, the proud Hu Zongnan and others envious.
Half dead, he shook his head and said that An Yi couldn't be a pig, otherwise how could he be so edible?
At eight o'clock in the evening, more than sixty Huangpu generals, who were still conscious and could barely walk, were transported in a dozen cars to the famous Shanghai World, one of the few large-scale entertainment venues in the East that started out by selling elixirs.
Owned by Huang Chujiu, a rich man from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and led by Tang Jiapeng, Huang Huangrong’s protégé, more than a hundred
I was helping to watch the venue and collect protection fees. When my subordinates reported that a dozen luxury cars suddenly drove up at the door, more than 60 people got out of the cars and poured into the grand ballroom. They were all arrogant men who had drunk too much. Xiao Fenglan, the foreman, just came up to greet them.
I don't know who pinched me hard several times in the dark corridor, and I screamed in grievance like a pig being killed.
Tang Jiapeng thought about who dared to come to his territory to cause trouble. When he went downstairs, he recognized Hu Zongnan, Dai Li and An Yi, whom he had only seen in pictorials. He was shocked and quickly went upstairs to call his master Huang Jinrong and made several calls.
The call finally came to Du Mansion at No. 216 Huagezhuo Road.
Huang Jinrong was discussing matters with Chiang Kai-shek, Kong Xiangxi, Chen Lifu, Du Yuesheng and others. He was very impatient when he received a call from his apprentice Tang Jiapeng. He heard that more than 60 generals from Huangpu had all flocked to the big world to have fun. He was also slightly surprised and immediately ordered
Tang Jiapeng treated him well and asked Tang Jiapeng to tell his boss Huang Chujiu that he was the guest invited by Huang Jinrong and let Huang Chujiu take care of it.
When Tang Jiapeng put down the phone, he knew that these warlords could not afford to offend them. He was afraid that he would not be able to collect a penny from this huge expense tonight and he would not dare to collect it. He quickly called Huang Chujiu and asked him to come back quickly to entertain them personally.
Huang Jinrong put down the phone, touched the pimples on his old face, and returned to sit down next to Chiang Kai-shek with a smile on his face: "Your students were very interested. They didn't drink enough at the Dahua Hotel in the evening, and then went to the Great World.
Young people are full of energy, I envy them!”
Chiang Kai-shek frowned slightly, turned to Chen Lifu and whispered: "Send someone to warn them not to go too far. Revolutionary soldiers should have some manners."
"yes."
Chen Lifu stood up and went to make a phone call. As he walked, he thought, could he persuade those drunken generals at this time? Just send someone to notify him.
