On the way back to the car, Xiu Xiu wanted to speak several times, but she couldn't speak out as she looked at Xiang Xiaoqiang who was talking eloquently in the front passenger seat, and Qiu Qiu and Shishi Gege who were laughing next to her in the back seat.
After returning to the headquarters, Xiu Xiu saw an opportunity to be alone and mustered up the courage to remind Xiang Xiaoqiang:
"Sir, you...you did something wrong."
Xiang Xiaoqiang glanced at Xiuxiu and said with a smile:
"What's wrong with my husband?"
Xiuxiu blushed and said softly:
"According to me... I think it would be a mistake for you to accept payment from Yuhuacong Company."
Xiang Xiaoqiang was overjoyed when he heard Xiuxiu calling himself "concubine" for the first time. Now this little beauty finally started to call herself his wife. Very good, very good!
He originally wanted to say, "It's just a meal, it's no big deal," but Xiuxiu rarely gave him advice, and it was the first time she called herself "concubine." Xiang Xiaoqiang couldn't bear to refute her, and just said with a cheerful smile:
"Okay, my husband knows about my good show, please pay attention next time!"
Unexpectedly, Xiuxiu saw that he didn't take him seriously, so she mustered up her courage and said seriously:
"It's easy to give someone else authority... If it's someone else, that's fine. It's just that your high power is in your hands now, and many people can't see it. Your Excellency... you don't have any foundation, so you must be cautious."
Xiang Xiaoqiang saw that Xiuxiu looked very cute, so he couldn't help but move closer, hold her face in his hands, and admire it. Xiu Xiu didn't dare to move away, but her face was flushed, and she lowered her eyes and said nothing.
Xiu Xiu is really a very classic beauty. She completely inherited the facial features of the Ryukyu Shang family with thick eyebrows and thin face. These features make Shang Rong look like a heavy smoker, but combined with Xiu Xiu's small face, she is so charming. Hepburn style
Thick eyebrows, almond-shaped eyes, a nose as delicate as a jade carving, a tight mouth, and a thin face with oval seeds, it is like a work of art.
He held this piece of art in his palms, closed his eyes and said softly:
"... Your Excellency has not been in the Ming Dynasty for a long time, so you may not understand... Our officialdom in the Ming Dynasty is very dangerous. Things like this often happen: traps are set, and a small thing can ruin a political opponent's reputation. Your Excellency, you must be on guard.
…”
It's so charming... Xiang Xiaoqiang couldn't help but use both hands to push Xiu Xiu's cheeks toward the middle. Xiu Xiu's mouth naturally pursed and she was speechless. Then she lowered her head to Xiao Qiang and kissed Xiu Xiu first.
The tip of Xiu Xiu's nose, then went down to kiss Xiu Xiu's lips.
Xiuxiu opened her eyes wide and struggled gently, but her arms were tightly held by Xiang Xiaoqiang and could not break free. Xiang Xiaoqiang seized the opportunity, stepped up her offensive, and forced her tongue into Xiu Xiu's mouth. Xiu Xiu's feet
She retreated, her upper body struggled and twisted, and retreated to the wall, with nowhere to retreat. Gradually, her struggle became weak, her eyes were slightly closed, and her nose opened and closed rapidly.
Xiang Xiaoqiang originally just wanted to be frivolous, but now he couldn't control it anymore, so he decided to execute Xiuxiu on the spot in the office. When he saw Xiuxiu involuntarily raising her neck, he felt that the time was right, and decisively told Xiu Xiu
Kissing Xiu Xiu's neck, he began to unbutton Xiu Xiu's clothes.
Xiu Xiu woke up with a start, struggling desperately, not daring to shout, and just begging softly. But Xiang Xiaoqiang was determined, and Xiu Xiu's soft pleading stimulated him even more, and his hands and feet became even more rough.
Suddenly, Xiang Xiaoqiang felt a sharp pain in his ears, screamed, and immediately released his hands and feet.
Xiuxiu was also frightened and found herself biting Mr. Xiang's ear. She opened her mouth blankly and asked Xiang Xiaoqiang to take out the ear.
Xiang Xiaoqiang covered his ears, a stream of blood seeped out from between his fingers, and moaned softly:
"Oh...oh...ah..."
Xiuxiu's frightened face turned pale. She turned from red to pale. She glanced at the closed office door and begged softly:
"My lord...I am guilty...bite...did you bite it off?...take your hand away...let me see..."
Xiang Xiaoqiang covered his ears, endured the severe pain, waved his hands and whispered:
"Don't worry, the ear is not missing... Go to the infirmary right away and steal something... cotton swabs, bandages, adhesive plaster, iodine, red potion. Don't mess with it, you know?"
Xiuxiu bit her lip and nodded, then begged:
"Sir...can you let me take a look?"
Xiang Xiaoqiang smiled reassuringly at her and took his hand away.
Xiuxiu saw that the upper half of Xiang Xiaoqiang's right ear was covered in blood, but it was indeed intact, with just a small bloody hole bitten through. She felt relaxed and dizzy... If she really bit off Mr. Xiang's ear,
She didn't even know how to live anymore.
Xiuxiu regretted and blamed herself, turned around and ran outside.
"Come back!" shouted Xiang Xiaoqiang.
Xiuxiu turned around and smiled at Xiaoqiang:
"You're going out like this? You're like a little vampire and you haven't wiped yourself clean yet!"
Xiuxiu was shocked when she touched her mouth and found blood. She quickly took out her handkerchief and wiped it clean, then repeatedly wiped the teeth inside.
Xiang Xiaoqiang looked at her "destroyed body and traces" and sighed with a smile:
"Fortunately, my Xiuxiu is like a kitten. The small fangs on both sides are relatively sharp, and she bites a little bit off, only making a small hole... If I bite it with the middle front teeth, I have to bite it off."
Xiuxiu felt even more regretful. She lowered her head and bowed deeply to Xiang Xiaoqiang, then turned around and ran out to steal medicine. When Xiang Xiaoqiang heard her leaving, he ordered the guard:
"My lord is resting, please don't disturb me..."
After a while, Xiuxiu sneaked into the office again, brought a lot of medicine, and bandaged Xiang Xiaoqiang.
Xiuxiu shed tears silently, her hands were very gentle, and every movement seemed to be a confession. Finally, she bandaged Xiang Xiaoqiang's ears very gently.
Looking at Xiuxiu like this, Xiang Xiaoqiang almost felt sorry. After all, he was the one who molested her first. Although Xiuxiu was his fiancée, he didn't know what kind of temper Xiu Xiu was. Xiang Xiaoqiang had long seen that Xiu Xiu
Xiu has been influenced by traditional ethics and values his reputation more than anything else.
Xiang Xiaoqiang grabbed Xiu Xiu's hands, held them tightly, looked into Xiu Xiu's eyes, and said seriously:
"Xiuxiu, I'm sorry. Please forgive me."
Xiuxiu was startled, lowered her head and said cowardly:
"Sooner or later I will be an adult... I really shouldn't be like this... I... I am too ignorant..."
As he spoke, he gently freed his hands, hesitated for a while with a blushing face, and suddenly hugged Xiang Xiaoqiang, then closed his eyes, pressed his lips, and kissed him awkwardly.
Xiang Xiaoqiang was stunned, like a young boy. He was suddenly moved, hugged Xiuxiu tightly, and kissed her deeply.
After a kiss, he held up Xiuxiu's chin and said softly:
"What more can a husband ask for when he has such a wife! Xiuxiu, let's get married! ... Let's set it on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month."
"Well," Xiu Xiu lowered her head gently and nodded, "and Qiu Qiu. Let's... marry the adults together."
Hearing that Xiuxiu had not forgotten Qiu Qiu, a warm feeling surged through Xiaoqiang's heart.
…
Xiang Xiaoqiang asked Xiuxiu to take the car number he had written down at noon to the security team for checking. Now Snail personally delivered the results. When he saw the gauze on Xiang Xiaoqiang's ear, he was surprised and asked quickly.
Xiang Xiaoqiang waved his hand nonchalantly and said:
"Oh, forget it. I came back from lunch and wanted to take a walk in the yard. There was a cat squatting in the corner. I thought it was quite funny, so I went over to mess with it... Who knew that this little guy was not easy to mess with?
It ran away on my shoulder. I don't know if it was claws or teeth, but my ears gave way."
The snail was shocked and said quickly:
"Sir, if you are bitten by an animal, you need to get an injection...have you gone?"
Xiang Xiaoqiang said:
"Of course I went...can I still go? Come on, let me take a look at the information about the license plate number."
Snail looked at his uncle's ears with concern and handed over the information.
Xiang Xiaoqiang took a look and saw that the white Rolls-Royce driven by Jiang Meilu was indeed hers, and the registered owner's name was Jiang Meilu.
But the security team also found out that the original registered owner of this car was Shen Rongxuan.
"Mr. Shen Ge?" Xiang Xiaoqiang asked curiously, "He drives a milky-white car like this?"
Snail said:
"No, it's Mrs. Shen's car. Mr. Shen Ge also owns an identical car, but it's black. It's a pair with this one."
Xiang Xiaoqiang suddenly started to think about it. He originally suspected that Jiang Meilu and Shen Rongxuan had some ambiguous relationship, but now Shen Rongxuan gave the car to Jiang Meilu, whether it was selling or giving it as a gift, which made sense.
"Hey, doesn't his wife have a car?"
"It's like this," Snail said again, "Look, sir, there is an investigation here. Mr. Shen Ge has just bought a new car for Mrs. Shen."
After Xiang Xiaoqiang took the snail, he didn’t finish talking at the same time. It was like squeezing out toothpaste. He asked and said, he really deserves to be called "snail". He asked:
"When did this happen?"
"The 30th of last month was the seventh day of the Lunar New Year."
Oh, that was what happened four days ago. The mysterious Rolls-Royce I saw at the gate of Princess Liaoyang’s residence that day was probably not this one. Because at that time, this car was still being driven by the wife of the Chief Minister. How could it be possible?
Go there to spy on yourself? To say that Jiang Meilu did such a thing, that's not even close.
Xiang Xiaoqiang smiled reassuringly, feeling that he was worrying too much. He suddenly asked with great interest:
"Hey, how many ladies does Shen Ge have?"
The snail replied:
"Uh, one person."
Xiang Xiaoqiang was surprised:
"Why, there's only one person?"
He believed that Shen Rongxuan became the director of the East Factory when he was in his forties, and then became the chief minister of the Ming Empire. This most successful man in the Ming Dynasty did not have twenty or thirty wives, but seventeen or eight.
Snail smiled and explained. It turned out that Shen Rongxuan was a devout Christian, so he only had one wife, the married woman he married when he was young. There were many people who believed in Christianity in the Ming Dynasty, but they really only had one married woman.
, there are too few people who grow old together. Even those foreigners, original Christians, who settled in Ming Dynasty and became naturalized, had three wives and four concubines.
Therefore, Shen Rongxuan is the only rich and powerful successful person in the Ming Dynasty who has achieved this level. Therefore, Shen Rongxuan's character reputation is also the best in the entire Ming Dynasty, and he is known as a 'gentleman'. Especially
It is even more difficult for him to lead the secret service agency Dongchang to have such a reputation. This is one of the reasons why Your Majesty encountered less resistance when he nominated him to form the cabinet.
Xiang Xiaoqiang was quite touched after hearing Snail's introduction, and he and Snail sighed together. The difference was that Snail was impressed by Shen Rongxuan's character, while Xiang Xiaoqiang was impressed by the fact that he obviously worked in a meat factory, but went to study Isn't it difficult for someone to be a vegetarian? What about now, are you bound by your own halo? If you want to have an extramarital affair, you have to be secretive...Poor Jiang Meilu.
…
Qiu Qiu and Xiu Xiu, who were sent out to do things, came back. As soon as the two little girls entered the office and saw the gauze on Xiang Xiaoqiang's ears, they were both shocked and leaned over to look and ask. The difference was that Qiu Qiu was I really don’t know, Xiu Xiu is just pretending not to know. Xiu Xiu was told to look more like her, and she really looked like her. Her acting talent was fully displayed, and it was no less than when she pretended to be a fourteener.
Xiang Xiaoqiang still said the same thing, he was bitten by a cat. When he complained about how the cat's teeth were so sharp, Xiu Xiu lowered her head shyly.
Qiu Qiu caressed his ear gently and asked him if he had received the injection. The doctor said when he would be healed and whether there would be any scars. Xiang Xiaoqiang smiled and fooled him with a few words as usual, Qiu Qiu finally said Don't worry. Xiu Xiu stood behind Qiu Qiu, looking at Qiu Qiu sadly.
In the afternoon, Xiang Xiaoqiang met with representatives from two or three radio companies to discuss the issue of infantry radio portable equipment, as well as representatives from the Ming Dynasty Fuma Motor Company, the German Opel Motor Company, and the American General Motors Company. Of course, Opel now It has been acquired by General Motors. In Xiang Xiaoqiang's impression, Opel is a manufacturer specializing in the production of cheap and durable cars. When purchasing military vehicles, Opel is a good choice.
At around five o'clock in the afternoon, it was almost dusk, and after the representatives of these companies had left, representatives from the Yuhuacong Automobile Company asked to see them again, bringing with them drawings, explanatory materials, and quotations for several types of motorcycles, trucks, and officer sedans.
Xiang Xiaoqiang took a brief look and felt that the paper data of several of their cars were okay, but the quotations were too high, which was a bit outrageous. It was nearly one-third more expensive than a Mercedes-Benz truck, let alone an Opel.
He raised his head and looked at the representative blankly.
The representative of the Yuhuacong Automobile Company was named Zhang. Although he was called a "representative", he was actually the deputy general manager of the Nanjing headquarters, and his rank was quite high. When facing distinguished guests like the Ming Dynasty's military, he personally took action.
But what makes Xiang Xiaoqiang feel strange is that they got the quotation so quickly. They didn't even let the People's Guard come to the factory for a strict inspection, they just looked like they wanted to make a decision. They were not so naive as to think they were going to have a meal. Rice, that’s it, right?
No, there must be something wrong with this Yuhuacong company. Xiang Xiaoqiang instinctively rejects it, and has already planned to pass as soon as possible, and does not want to continue to deal with them.
The problem is that he feels a little embarrassed to treat me to such an expensive meal. Sometimes, the power of a meal is still quite large. Xiang Xiaoqiang flipped through Yu Hua Cong's thick information and was thinking about how to spend it. They, suddenly a page of information attracted his attention.
Yuhuacong bulletproof car.
Xiang Xiaoqiang was very interested and stared at it. When he was meeting with representatives from Mercedes-Benz, he saw that there was a bulletproof car project in the company's information. At that time, the people from Mercedes-Benz saw that he was very interested and introduced it. Mercedes-Benz was the first company in the world to make bulletproof vehicles. Several bulletproof vehicles for German Chancellor Hitler were provided by Mercedes-Benz. People at Mercedes-Benz confidently said at the time that the best bulletproof vehicles in the world were They are.
Xiang Xiaoqiang asked casually, what about the next step? The representative of Mercedes-Benz counted several brands on his fingers and said that these brands are second only to Mercedes-Benz in making bulletproof cars. One of them is from Ming Dynasty, which is Yuhuacong. In other words, Yuhuacong
The bulletproof vehicles made by Hua Cong are the best in the Ming Dynasty.
The armor is 5 millimeters thick, the bulletproof glass is 50 centimeters thick, it weighs 5 tons, and the speed is 65 kilometers per hour. It looks good in the photo, almost like an ordinary car. If you don’t look closely, you wouldn’t know it is a bulletproof vehicle.
Xiang Xiaoqiang looked through Yuhuacong's bulletproof vehicle information and casually laughed:
"How much does a car like this cost?"
Manager Zhang had been observing his words for a long time and saw that he liked Xiang Xiaoqiang. When he saw him asking, he quickly smiled and said:
"I have long noticed that Mr. Xiang knows a lot about cars. Our company's bulletproof car is recognized as the second in the world and the first in Ming Dynasty. Although it is second, the price is much more reasonable than the first in Germany.
... This kind of thing, if you order one, the market price is 39,000 Mingyang. But... hehe, if Mr. Xiang likes it, we will order one for Mr. Xiang... As for the price, we won't mention it...
"
Xiang Xiaoqiang secretly smiled, and sure enough, as soon as he saw that he was interested in bulletproof cars, this guy was going to give him one right away. Thirty-nine thousand Mingyang was a very heavy bribe. Even if he said too much on purpose
Some, not many.
Manager Zhang continued:
"Sir Xiang, now that you have defeated the Qing captives and promoted the prestige of our Ming Dynasty, it goes without saying that the Qing captives must hate you to the core... Your Majesty, you must be on guard! Your Majesty Xiang is the pillar of our Ming army and your Majesty's
Imperial Master, you are really a rare talent of the Ming Dynasty. Your life is too precious... The villain is also a pure son of the Ming Dynasty. He knows how to serve the country and the nation while making money. That's it. The villain makes the decision and respects the adults.
We, the Ming Empire, will contribute a small amount to Your Majesty..."
Although Xiang Xiaoqiang had goosebumps one after another, he also thought that what he said made sense. He had done so many things, and it was certain that the Emperor of the Northern Qing Dynasty hated him to the core. Even in the Ming Dynasty, he had risen rapidly.
After receiving another edict from the Queen, there are many people who want to kill themselves. More than thirty thousand Mingyang is not much, so I just pay for one from them. I don’t plan to buy their military vehicles anyway, so order one from them.
The bulletproof car can be regarded as repaying the favor of the meal.
He suddenly thought of the Fourteenth Princess. The Fourteenth Princess was also one of the key assassination targets of the Beiqing Dynasty. She used to have nothing to do in the princess's mansion, but now she has to come to the headquarters every day. The road is too dangerous.
Xiang Xiaoqiang raised his head and said:
"Let's do this. Order two cars for me first. We'll discuss the price later. You guys will be indispensable."
Manager Zhang smiled brightly and opened his mouth to Xiaoqiang. It seemed that he actually swallowed the bait. He was afraid that Xiaoqiang wouldn't take it. As long as he asked for it, he could ask for it no matter what. As for saying to the adults, "We'll talk about the price later, it's inevitable."
"Yours" is just talk...
When he was about to say goodbye, he took out two more things from his bag, put them on the table, and said with a smile:
"Sir Xiang, since you have honored me and become a customer of our company, I would also like to ask you to accept this small gift from our company..."
When Xiang Xiaoqiang heard the "gift", he immediately became vigilant, and what Xiu Xiu said to him jumped into his ears again. Just when he was about to refuse, he saw the manager opening the paper bag and said with a smile:
"Don't worry, this is a small gift from our company to our customers. It's not worth much and I really can't afford it... If it weren't for the company's regulations that it must be given to every customer, that villain would have prepared another generous gift...
…”
As he spoke, he opened it and said:
"A pack of tea leaves, for you to drink when you are tired, to refresh yourself... and this box of candies, for the ladies, as a snack... Haha, sir, this gift is really not a good thing, it is a company regulation.
, a villain... Hehe, I'm sorry, don't be offended..."
What did Xiang Xiaoqiang think it was? When he saw these two packages of "gifts", he immediately laughed:
"Okay, thank you very much. Leave it here. I would like to thank your company for my commander."
Manager Zhang resigned and sat down to Xiaoqiang to look at the two packages of gifts.
One bag is tea...well, it seems to be Pu'er tea, a small bundle, wrapped in bamboo strips or something, with a black tea cake inside.
The other box is of candies. The box is quite delicate, with a glass lid on the outside. You can see the candies inside, red, green, white, blue... crystal clear and very beautiful.
But he stared at the candy inside, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt something was wrong. It didn't look like candy.
Xiang Xiaoqiang took off the cover and wanted to take a closer look.
