Chapter 448 Swing, beauty.
Haig Road, inside the Bai family mansion.
In the courtyard, the spring breeze spreads like a poem, and the sun shines through the sparse clouds on the green lawn.
In the corner, an exquisite Qianqiu stands quietly.
Above Qianqiu, a girl sat quietly. She was wearing a pure white dress. The hem of the skirt swayed gently with her movements, as pure and flawless as a blooming lily.
Her face is delicate and picturesque. Although she has not applied makeup, her skin is as delicate as gel and surprisingly moist.
Her long black hair poured down like a waterfall and scattered on her shoulders, fluttering gently in the wind, adding a bit of charm.
But there seemed to be a hint of melancholy in her eyes, as if there was an unbreakable depression lingering in her heart.
The girl is none other than Bai Xiuzhu.
Since Zheng Jirong left last time, she has returned to Shanghai.
At that time, Zheng Jirong claimed that he was going to Hong Kong Island to handle matters and expected to return within a month. However, more than forty days have passed and there has been no news from him, as if he has disappeared from the world.
There is no phone address, and even if I want to send a letter, I don’t know where to send it.
Some time ago, there was chaos outside, and Bai Xiuzhu didn't know whether Zheng Jirong was alive or dead. Not long after she handed her body to him, he disappeared within a few days.
When she thought of this, Bai Xiuzhu became extremely anxious and wished she could go out to find him in person.
At this moment, there was a strange noise in the yard.
Bai Xiuzhu was about to turn around to check, but felt a pair of big hands covering her eyes from behind.
Then, a familiar voice sounded in her ears:
"Are you thinking about me?"
After hearing this voice, Bai Xiuzhu immediately pulled away her hand and turned around to look. Behind her, Zheng Jirong was looking at her with a smile.
"You're back!"
Bai Xiuzhu was so excited that she burst into tears and threw herself into Zheng Jirong's arms.
She muttered, "You heartless person, you've been gone for so many days without any news, and you didn't even send me a letter! You... you still know how to come back!"
Zheng Jirong stroked her hair gently, patted her back and comforted her: "It won't happen next time. When I finish my work this time, I will take you back to Hong Kong Island."
"Hong Kong Island?" Bai Xiuzhu asked puzzledly: "Your career is all in Shanghai, and your uncle has prepared an official position for you. Why are you going to Hong Kong Island at this time?"
"The Hong Kong Island I am talking about is different from this Hong Kong Island. You will know when the time comes."
Zheng Jirong explained casually that he had decided to tell Bai Xiuzhu all his identity in a few days and take her back to Hong Kong Island where he had lived for decades.
He has more affairs on Hong Kong Island than on Shanghai Beach. After all, he has only stayed here for a month or two in total. He is no different from a passerby. Hong Kong Island is his home.
Moreover, the flow of time in the two places is different, so it would be better to just show your cards and take the person away.
Anyway, this time and space is in chaos, and there is nothing to miss.
And what does this official position mean?
He asked unexpectedly: "You said Bai Chongxi wants to give me an official title?"
"Yes," Bai Xiuzhu nodded and explained: "After the success of the Northern Expedition, my uncle told the principal about your free support of millions of military expenses for the Northern Expedition. I heard that the principal was very happy when he found out and even offered to reward him personally. you."
Speaking of this, the girl whispered: "Uncle is now a general and the commander-in-chief of the Fourth Army, but he was transferred to Guangzhou by the principal. He said that in order to prevent you from feeling cold, this is why uncle specially helped you before leaving. apply."
"this"
Zheng Jirong looked a little weird when he heard this. He was a serious national agent, and now he was working under the Eighteen Stars?
"What kind of official position did you apply for? You can't be an anti-smoking ambassador, right?"
"Of course not," Bai Xiuzhu thought for a while and then said, "It seems like a naval colonel from the Jiang Defense Fleet in the Military Department."
"."
Zheng Jirong immediately shook his head in amusement. It seemed that this position was used by Chiang Kai-shek to deceive people. He was just thinking that he was Bai Chongxi's niece and son-in-law. While wooing Bai Chongxi, he also deceived himself into giving more money to the National Government.
As for the naval colonel, the position of military commander is very empty these days, let alone the navy. It is obviously just a temporary position.
But that's not a bad idea. The other high-profile bosses on the beach these days are all working as part-time jobs in the government, but he has already become involved in the military, and he's better off than others.
No, it seems that there are no other high-end gangs in Shanghai except the Ax Gang.
Before coming to Bai Mansion, he first met Chow Tai Fook and Peanuts in the club.
According to them, since the reorganization and purge of the Ax Gang, their Ax Gang is now the dominant one in Shanghai, and other gangs have either been forced to evacuate the city or choose to submit to the Ax Gang.
The Ax Gang now has more than 10,000 registered members and firmly controls nearly half of the city's tobacco business.
Of course, this tobacco refers to the serious cigarette business rather than tobacco. In addition, even the tea business is also involved.
Although the profits and assets of Huasheng Company in Shanghai are still far less than that of Sanxin Company, which monopolized the entire Songhu Tobacco Company, its monthly turnover is nearly one million.
You must know that Lu Yuesheng's Sanxin Company has an annual turnover of over 70 million. In this era, it is simply a bug-like existence.
With the influence of the Axe Gang among the people and the strong economic strength of Huasheng Company, it is no wonder that Chiang Kai-shek proposed to use official positions as bait and hoped that he would continue to donate.
However, now that the Northern Expedition has ended, the north has been stabilized, and it seems that Zhang XueL will change the flag in a few days, and the unification of the country is just around the corner.
At this time, no matter how much he donates, it will go into the pockets of the four major families. He must be mentally ill to donate to them.
However, he can send a large sum of money and medicine to YA before leaving.
Pulling his thoughts away from these things, Zheng Jirong's eyes returned to Bai Xiuzhu in his arms.
At this moment, her upper body is nestled in his arms, but her legs are still gently swinging on the swing, and the white and tender calves under the skirt are particularly charming in the sun.
Swing Beauty
This scene suddenly reminded Zheng Jirong of a movie he had seen before, and he couldn't help but smile.
"Does anyone usually come to this yard?"
"No, the servants should all be at home at this time."
After hearing this, Zheng Jirong gently lifted Bai Xiuzhu's arm and slowly turned her over from the swing, so that she faced him.
Bai Xiuzhu grabbed the rope beside the swing in confusion. Just as she was confused, Zheng Jirong suddenly picked her up and sat on the swing himself
"You, you hooligan."
