Xiuxiu's purpose of coming to see Tumache and Li Gensheng was actually to inquire about their attitudes and judge what the commanders of the two most important departments were thinking at the first moment in this "backward little strong era". She also wanted to judge,
What position will I have in the People's Guard in the future, and whether I still have a future.
Although Xiuxiu also has a desire for power, she does not regard power as the most important thing in life like Shi Shigege. Xiuxiu is a little woman, and now she knows that she is not what she used to be.
She is a humble poor girl. If she feels that there is really no room for herself in the People's Guard, she has a good way out. She can withdraw from the circle of right and wrong with her mother and brother and become an ordinary rich person.
Xiang Xiaoqiang left several million in property, as well as a large stake in Zheng's Minerals. The bigger one was from Shi Shi Gege. Shi Shi Gege's original property, plus the four shares that Xiang Xiaoqiang left with her.
More than ten million, it must be tens of millions in total. Since Shi Shigege was also killed and she had no relatives, it can be counted as her and Xiang Xiaoqiang's joint property and divided equally between herself and Qiu Qiu.
Bar.
Although Qiu Qiu's family is rich, it can basically be ignored in front of these tens of millions of dollars. I hope that when Qiu Qiu suddenly sees such a large inheritance, he will be happier and no longer think about seeking death and survival.
Xiuxiu tried to make herself think more about these "mundane things", which seemed to alleviate some of the sadness in her heart.
…
In the waiting room, she watched the officers coming in and out one after another, but it was her turn. Although Xiuxiu didn't quite understand what Stomach was thinking now, she intuitively felt that the Stomach sitting behind the door had a ache.
He should be feeling very guilty at this moment. He is showing off to himself like this, which may be a sign of lack of confidence. He may not have thought about what attitude he should take to face himself. Or, he may hope to use this method to get back his security guard.
The confidence of the team commander.
Usually he, the dignified commander of the security team, is a bit too frustrated in his own department. Although he is the commander in name, in fact it is the deputy commander Shi Shigege who makes the decisions. He has a stomachache and acts like a deputy commander. Not only that.
, he saw his "vice"
When I was an official, I often felt like I was seeing my boss... However, hey, I can't blame others. Whoever calls him a slave to be so talented is all asking for it. Why can Li Gensheng and Li Changgui be able to do this in front of me?
He is an out-and-out boss.
Now that the Lord is gone, this guy has changed his face and started to "turn over"... Hehe, he looks so useless, even if he is handed over the power of the commander of the People's Guard, he will not be able to do it in three days.
Let people push it down.
Finally, when Xiuxiu was the only one left in the waiting room, the secretary came to her side with a smile and asked her to come in.
Xiuxiu smiled at her, stood up, carried her small bag, and entered the office where she had a stomachache.
"Oh, Adjutant Shang," he stood up with a stomachache, motioned to the chair in front of the desk, shook his head and sighed, "My condolences... Please sit down."
Xiuxiu's heart felt cold again. Today she had heard many people say "to express condolences" to her. Every time she heard it, it seemed that the news of her husband's death became more certain, and she felt more desperate.
.
Xiuxiu held back her tears, thanked her, and sat down carefully, ready to ask if she had any news about Xiang Xiaoqiang. The reason why she came to ask for a meeting was to find out if she had any information about Xiang Xiaoqiang and the First Division.
However, after the secretary went out, Xiuxiu, who had a stomachache, changed his face before Xiuxiu could speak. He completely lost the airs that had just made the secretary stay away from people thousands of miles away. Now, he was like a close old friend.
"Oh, madam..." She shook her head with a stomachache, smiled kindly, and stopped calling her position, "Hehehe... I was really offended just now... Oh, the secretary hasn't invited you in for a long time, is it? What I mean is, don’t think too much about it.”
Xiuxiu raised her red and swollen eyes and looked at him, waiting for him to continue.
With a stomachache, I slowly took out a cigarette from the silver cigarette case on the table, lit it with a gold-plated lighter, and took a puff in style, making a beautiful smoke ring stand out.
He flicked the cigarette ashes handsomely and sighed:
"Alas... Madam, you also know that the People's Guard is in great danger, the commander is in trouble in the northwest, and the headquarters is leaderless. How can I not set an example at this time?... Oh, listen to Shen Rongxuan's speech tonight. Right? Haha, that old boy has no good intentions, and is trying hard to catch the People's Guard... He can hide it from others, but he can't satisfy me. The Soviet Union is invading the border in the northwest, whether it is the People's Guard or the Ming Dynasty, at this moment They are all internal and external troubles...
"At this time, the Ming Dynasty needs a force like the People's Guard more and more to stabilize the current situation in Nanjing... Madam, you also know Li Gensheng. He still has two troops to lead. However, engaging in politics It requires brains, and it's not as simple as leading troops. I'm worried that if he is fooled by Shen Rongxuan, he will fall into the arms of others and support the nationalization of the People's Guard. Well, nationalization, to put it bluntly, isn't it? Is it a cabinet? Gensheng is a good person, really, but it’s a pity that he doesn’t understand politics and doesn’t care about politics at all. Although he is in charge of the most people in the People’s Guard, they are all the top soldiers who go to war. Our People’s Guard My identity is very special, and it is absolutely impossible not to understand politics.
"As for Snail, he is just a big brother of the underworld. He can lead a group of brothers to kill people. He joins the People's Guard. Hehe, he must rely on Mrs. Qiuqiu's relationship. But in good conscience, when I started my career with Mr. Xiang, my subordinates No one, Snail actually led a group of gangsters to create a powerful force. I, Mr. Du, am not the kind of villain who just kills people and kills people. I don’t like to clean up the heroes. I will remember this contribution of Snail. I will never treat him badly.
"Li Changgui, he is also an old colleague of ours behind enemy lines in the East Factory. His training is the highest among these commanders, almost close to my level. Haha, I don't care about this, I like to tell the truth. It's a pity that such a good talent was thrown behind enemy lines in the Beiqing Dynasty and worked as an undercover agent for so many years. His skills were almost wasted. After Mr. Xiang got him back, he has been serving as the commander of the Imperial Guard. I don't mean the imperial guard. The Guards are not important, the Imperial Guards are of course important, but it is a Qingshui Yamen, and nothing happens for ten days and a half. Haha, Chang Gui may be used to being an undercover agent, and he can endure loneliness, which is a good thing Ah. But as a result, he will inevitably be far away from the center of the People's Guard for a long time. I dare say that he doesn't understand what is going on in the headquarters, among the various departments, and among the various commanders... Alas, it is a waste of time. His ability... well, I won't treat him badly."
…
Xiu Xiu completely understood what was going on. She had a stomachache and commented on the commanders of several important departments of the headquarters one by one. It meant that everyone was good, but they all had serious shortcomings and were not qualified for the position of commander-in-chief.
Then he himself did not say anything. The implication is that he cannot be qualified for the position of commander-in-chief unless he has a stomachache.
Xiuxiu has already made a judgment. The main purpose of Stomachache tonight is to win over herself, and to make herself, the "former commander's wife", stand with him and support him unequivocally. In this way, Stomache will sit in the commander-in-chief's position.
Up, it seems there are more
A lot of legitimacy. Besides, the People's Guard has only one superior, the Queen. And Xiuxiu, Wei Zijin, and Zheng Yucong all have a certain degree of friendship. Although Xiang Xiaoqiang is gone, I don't know how much of this friendship is left, but
At least you know when your stomach hurts.
It was only then that Xiuxiu felt relaxed all over. It seemed that she would have a big role in the headquarters in the future.
But...do you have a stomachache? It's okay to be a little clever. If you want to be the leader, you just have great ambition and lack of talent.
No matter what, in the future headquarters, I will be an important weight, it depends on how I use it.
…
"Huh? Madam?" She had a stomachache and took a sip of tea with a smile. She stared at Xiuxiu and said with a smile, "What do you think? Does what I said make sense?"
Xiuxiu lowered her eyes, her mind was spinning rapidly, and she sighed and said slowly:
"Listening to what the Commander said...it seems to be true."
My stomach ached and I was overjoyed. I smiled so much that I narrowed my eyes and nodded with satisfaction.
He held the cigarette between his legs, squinted his eyes and took a deep puff. He leaned on the wide backrest, slowly exhaled the smoke, squinted his eyes, and glanced at the pitiful Xiu Xiu who was huddled in front of him.
"Actually, I have always admired you."
My stomach ached and the cigarette ashes flickered, and I said with a smile.
Xiuxiu raised her eyes to look at him, said nothing, and then lowered her eyes. She felt a little nervous, and her mind quickly analyzed what he was going to say next.
With a stomachache, he sat forward and said with a kind smile:
"How about it? Be my adjutant."
Xiuxiu was startled, quickly raised her eyes and stared at him.
"Oh, oh," he said quickly with a stomachache, "I mean, I will start as an adjutant, and I won't stay in this position for a long time. The main reason is that I have just taken office, and I am not familiar with many overall things. I need you.
Such an experienced lieutenant is always there to help me...
...Although you have a low military rank and are very young, your abilities are outstanding... Being a lieutenant is too unfair for you. Haha, you see, you have been with Mr. Xiang for more than a year and your position has not moved at all...
Don't worry, as long as you follow me, I promise..."
As Stomachache spoke, he glanced at the door mysteriously, lowered his voice, and said with a smile:
"I guarantee that when you are as old as Princess Liaoyang, I can promote you as the commander of the security team... How about? Come with me... I think this is the only way to be worthy of you."
As he spoke, he flicked his hair on his forehead, stared at Xiu Xiu, and smiled.
…
Xiuxiu has already developed goosebumps one after another. But she can't figure out why. She just feels that her stomachache is very different today from the past. Although the stomachache in the past was flattering and wretched,
But nothing like today...
……nausea.
Yes, that's what it feels like, disgusting.
...This feeling is like the tentacles of an octopus, greasy and sticky, stretching towards me...
I had a stomachache and waited for a long time. Seeing that she didn’t express it clearly, I sat back again, leaned on the backrest, and said with a smile:
"Haha... don't think that I said these words in jest, without thinking about them... In fact, I have thought about each sentence for a long time. Well, ahem... I have thought about it all day long. You see, in fact, I have thought about each sentence for a long time.
, we need each other.”
Xiuxiu got goosebumps all over again.
Smoking with a stomachache, he continued to laugh:
"By the way, how is Ziyu's marriage going? The Bai family is probably trying to regret the marriage, right?... Haha, I guess so. Those merchant families are very rich, but also very powerful. Their daughter is not that at all.
Ziyu is married to the commander of the People's Guard of the Ming Empire."
Xiuxiu endured her stomachache and kept saying "Ziyu" affectionately, as if Ziyu was his own brother-in-law... However, she had to admit that she was right about her stomachache.
Stomachache smiled and said:
"So, now as long as we two join hands, tie together tightly, and twist into a rope... Then, even if the Bai family has the idea of regretting the marriage, they will see how much I, the new commander, takes care of you, and when they see you and
I am more important than Xiang Xiaoqiang, who
We will have to wait and see. Haha, of course, we will not let them down. Sooner or later they will see that Ziyu's importance is no different from before. As long as you and I... haha, work closely,
Bring up the People's Guard."
Xiuxiu took a deep breath, raised her head and said:
"Lord Commander..."
"Alas..." Stomachache waved his hand and said, "Just don't call me Lord Commander. Let's not be so open to each other. From today on, we will continue as usual in front of others, but in private we can call each other by our first names.
Yes. You are just like Princess Liaoyang,
Call me Zi Teng. From today on, you are our second Princess of Liaoyang. Haha... As for me, calling you 'Madam' or 'Adjutant Shang' seems so polite... By the way, you have a good expression.
Your cousin? I’ll also call you by your cousin.”
Xiuxiu felt a chill, trembled with goosebumps, shook her head and said:
"No. Mr. Du, don't either..."
"Oh, how is this possible?" Stomachache smiled, "You come from a scholarly family. Although you are a girl, you should have your own cousin... Haha, how about I give you one? Look
, how about you name the word 'Xiu' alone and call it 'Lingxi'? Look, Lingxi sounds very good..."
"Master Du," Xiuxiu finally couldn't bear it anymore and said coldly, "please respect yourself."
I felt a stomachache and was stunned for a moment, then looked at her innocently.
"Self-respect? What do you mean?" he said inexplicably, "Adjutant Shang, what did I say? Where did you think you were? You must have misunderstood me."
Xiuxiu stared at him for a long time, finally took a deep breath, lowered her head and said:
"Master Du, don't be offended...I...I'm really sad today...You should call me Adjutant Shang..."
He looked at her with a stomachache, sighed, and said with a smile:
"Oh, no wonder. Madam is really too sad today...blame me. You should give Madam some time to think about this kind of thing. But I do have good intentions, and please don't take offense, Madam. You see, these words make me
I won’t follow Qiu Qiu
Madam said. I know she doesn’t understand even if I tell you. But you understand. You are different from her. She has no brains, no talent, and... Hehe, she is still so stubborn. Hehe, Mrs. Shang, you
It’s different. You know.”
Xiuxiu gasped for air and controlled her tears not to fall out. After a while, she raised her head and said with a smile:
"Master Du is saying... I am different from Qiu Qiu... I have written down everything you said and I will consider it..."
With that said, she stood up with her bag in hand.
Xiuxiu was overjoyed that her stomachache was over, and she stood up and quickly walked around the desk. Xiuxiu was startled and was about to dodge back, but her stomachache stopped just one step away from her. Then, she gave her a deep kiss.
Long bow.
"Du is so virtuous and talented. I am lucky to have my wife favor me and help me! Madam, rest assured that Du will definitely not let down my wife's trust. From now on, as long as my wife joins hands with me closely, the People's Guard will be named Du and Shang."
!”
Xiuxiu pursed her lips tightly, looked down at him, her chest heaved for a long time, and finally said something as calmly as possible:
"So good."
After saying that, he picked up his bag, turned around and went out without looking back.
…
Xiuxiu strode down the corridor, gasping for air and tears streaming down her face. She walked directly to the bathroom at the end of the corridor and slammed the door behind her back.
She leaned tiredly against the wall, leaned her head against the wall, hugged her body with her arms, and cried silently, letting the tears continue to flow down her cheeks, down her neck, and into her collar.
