Chapter 14 Chapter Fourteen

In order to celebrate the victory, Mr. He made an exception to treat guests at home. In the name of him and the fifth wife, he invited Yu Wanzhen, Zhu Ming'an, Hu Quanzhen and Bai Mudan to eat hot pot. The first one to arrive was Bai Mudan. Bai Mudan didn't know who Director He had invited beforehand. As soon as he entered the door, he saw that the huge living room was empty, so he asked Director He: "Is Ming An coming today?" Director He said: "If you want to come, I will invite him and Wanzhen together." He glanced at Bai Mudan meaningfully, and said in a long voice: "I know you like him, dare you not invite him?"

Bai Mudan smiled at Mr. He, but remained silent. Chief He grabbed Bai Mudan's hand and patted it: "It's just that I don't know, you like that little boy, does that little boy like you?" The fireplace in the living room was lit, and the room was quite hot. Bai Mudan took her hand out of President He's hand, took off the sweater she wore over the green satin cheongsam, hung it on the coat rack, and then sighed. Mr. He said: "Who said I like the boy? What do I like about him? I don't like him at all!" Director He said: "Don't lie to me, I have heard what Sun Ya said first."

Bai Mudan said: "That's Sun Ya talking nonsense first, this man is a reporter, and he only lives on nonsense, you don't know that!" Then he said, "Zhu Mingan is not with me, but with...whom, Mr. He, you guess?" Mr. He pressed his finger on Bai Mudan's forehead: "Isn't it just with Yu Wanzhen? I know." Bai Mudan said: "It's outrageous! A nephew, an aunt, actually..." Just now, Zhu Ming'an and Yu Wanzhen were led in by an old woman. Bai Mudan was taken aback, and went up to greet Yu Wanzhen and Zhu Ming'an together with Mr. He.When saying hello, he looked at the French velvet coat on Yu Wanzhen and said, "Wanzhen, your coat is so beautiful, is it Ming An's filial piety?"

Zhu Ming'an was a little embarrassed, and said in a low voice: "Miss Bai is... joking again..." But Yu Wanzhen took Bai Mudan's hand, and said seriously: "Ming An really bought it! I bought it at 'Atlantic' yesterday, and I'm going to Mr. He today, and Ming Anfei asked me to wear it. I didn't think it was good, and I really didn't want to wear it, but Ming An refused, so I put it on. Sister Bai, is it really good?" Knowing that Yu Wanzhen was stabbing her, Bai Mudan felt resentful in her heart, but said: "Not bad, really good, Ming An has vision."

Director He also said: "Ming An has been trained by Wan Zhen. The day before yesterday, he fought well with Xing Chuzhi. Today I have to respect Ming An with a few glasses of wine!" Yu Wanzhen smiled and said: "Where? Ming An did a good job because you have a godfather to support you." Zhu Ming'an nodded again and again, agreeing with Wanzhen's words: "Yes, yes. Without Mr. He, how can I stand this kind of thing!" Mr. He was happy, he laughed loudly, acquiesced that he was extraordinary, waved his hand and said: "Who is Xing Chuzhi my opponent? He is really beyond his control!"

Zhu Ming'an said: "But this guy was slippery after all, or he escaped..." Chief He shook his head and said: "He didn't escape! - Can I let him escape? Yesterday I telegraphed Xing Chuzhi's misappropriation of military funds to the headquarters of the Zhenguo Army. On the same day, Governor Liu issued a warrant to arrest him. I just don’t know if I caught it or not.” Zhu Mingan breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good. Even if he can't be caught, this person won't dare to show up in our 'New Far East' again..." While President He was talking to Zhu Ming'an, Bai Mudan dragged Yu Wanzhen to sit on the sofa beside her, and whispered.

Bai Mudan pointed to the beige suit that Zhu Mingan was wearing and asked Yu Wanzhen, "Isn't this what we bought for Mingan at Wanfu Company?" Yu Wanzhen took a look at Zhu Mingan, and admitted vaguely: "It seems so." Bai Mudan said: "You are really energetic. Wanzhen, you are considered lucky." Yu Wanzhen said: "I can't help it either, he fell in love with me when he was 14 years old..." Bai Mudan chuckled: "Today I fell in love with the bed..." Yu Wan really rolled her eyes at Bai Mudan: "So what?" Bai Mudan still smiled: "It's not that bad, I... I had sex with him too."

Yu Wanzhen said indifferently: "I know this, Ming An told me earlier." Bai Mudan was startled, quite disappointed, but immediately leaned into Yu Wanzhen's ear and said, "Ming'an is a nice person, but he was a little anxious when doing that, like a little rooster, isn't he? Still... still—— Wanzhen, I'm too embarrassed to tell you: he still plays with that dirty thing of mine. Does he play with yours too?" After speaking, he giggled again. Yu Wan was really angry in her heart, but she didn't like to explode. Just when he was embarrassed, Mrs. He's fifth wife came down from the upstairs with a smile and shouted. Then, Hu Quanzhen arrived again, and everyone talked about "New Far East" by coincidence, which relieved Yu Wanzhen.

During the meal, Bai Mudan wanted to sit with Yu Wanzhen, but Yu Wanzhen hid, forced the fifth wife to come to Bai Mudan's side, and at the same time thought about giving the necessary counterattack when Bai Mudan openly raped Zhu Ming'an. However, Bai Mudan didn't mean to embarrass Zhu Ming'an. As soon as he picked up the wine glass, he talked about what happened that night.According to Bai Mudan, Xing Chuzhi approached her that night when he decided to attack her, but she refused without even thinking about it, and told Mr. He the inside story the next day. Mr. He held the small wine glass, took a sip of the wine and confirmed: "That's right, if Bai Mudan hadn't said it early in the morning, I would never have thought that Xing would do it! I immediately followed the clues and found Zhen Guojun Later, the office asked Mrs. Zhen to check the facts."

Hu Quanzhen said: "It's strange. There were more than 80,000 shares of 'New Far East' that were sold in the night market that day. Xing Chuzhi didn't have so many shares on hand. I know that. The funds he raised at the beginning were embezzled military expenses, and he had to pay them back later. It was sold out one after another…” Zhu Ming'an said: "Yes, I also think it's strange. Xing Chuzhi has at most 10,000 shares on hand, even if he sells them within three hours, it won't cause such a sharp drop. Is there someone else secretly playing tricks? "

Mr. He waved his hand and said: "It's not strange at all. I think it must be that Xing Chuzhi dumped the 10,000 shares, which drove the scattered shares outside. In addition, the Great China and Hezhong Exchange closed down that day. People's hearts are floating, this kind of thing happened in the rubber wave 10 years ago..." Seeing that everyone kept talking about stocks, Mrs. Wu got impatient, tapped the table with her chopsticks and said, "Okay, okay, the matter is over, don't talk about it!" Hu Quanzhen said worriedly: "It can't be counted yet! Xing Chuzhi's troubles are not over yet. As soon as this bastard left, the Zhen Guojun side took aim at us. This afternoon, Liu Dujun sent a military adjutant to A regiment leader came from Nanjing on the Blue Steel Express to recover the 820,000 yuan in military expenses. However, Xing Chuzhi’s account under the pseudonym was only 310,000 yuan..." Zhu Ming'an said: "Then allocate 310,000 to the Zhen Guojun!" Hu Quanzhen said: "What if Xing Chuzhi pops up again to ask for money after the call has been made?" Chief He said: "Xing Chuzhi dare not—the Zhen Guojun is arresting him, and he won't send him at the gunpoint?" Hu Quanzhen shook her head straight: "That's not okay. I run the bank day and night in the concession, and it is registered in the concession. If I don't complete the relevant procedures, I can't give it to me!" Director He became serious, and nodded Hu Quanzhen frequently with the tip of his chopsticks: "You are joking, old Mo Zhen. Dujun Liu is not the Dujun Zheng back then, and has nothing to do with me. If you guys get into trouble, I can't help it. Whatever you say, you have to return it quickly, and if you procrastinate, there will be new troubles! Don’t you think about it, this warlord is tyrannical and domineering, and he is unreasonable. Why don’t you force people to hang themselves?” Yu Wanzhen also intervened and said, "My godfather is right, Mr. Zhen, you can't do such a thing of seeking skin from a tiger, otherwise, not only will it be your day and night bank, I'm afraid the whole 'New Far East' will be in trouble." Hu Quanzhen let out a long sigh, and said upsetly: "Okay, okay, I'll just pay it back!" No one paid attention to this: the huge day and night bank actually wanted to "think" for 300,000 yuan. Did not realize. Hu Quanzhen is worthy of being a slippery old fish, after a brief gaffe, she immediately regained her spirits, chatting and laughing with everyone freely during the whole drinking process, and even Bai Mudan sang a cappella to add to the fun. Bai Mudan didn't want to sing, and said: "I have made it clear a long time ago that as long as I get rich, I will never be a frivolous actor." She also said, "I have quit the big stage since I started the 'New Far East'. It’s been months since I’ve hung my throat.” Chief He refused: "You said you would still sing for me!" Bai Mudan said: "I said it, but I'm really not in the mood today." Yu Wanzhen persuaded: "Sing why the chief and Zhen always sing! No one here treats you lightly." Bai Mudan is full of resentment towards Wanzhen, and feels that Yu Wanzhen said that no one is frivolous, but she is deliberately frivolous to her, so she is even more unwilling to sing. Director He said: "I know. We don't have face, only one person has face. If this person invites Miss Bai, Miss Bai will definitely sing..." Hu Quanzhen knowingly asked, "Who is this person?" Chief He pointed his glib mouth at Zhu Mingan who was passing by: "Our chairman!" Zhu Ming'an blushed: "Mr. He is joking." Mr. He smiled and said, "If you don't believe me, please try it!" Zhu Ming'an went to look at Yu Wanzhen in embarrassment, Yu Wanzhen waved her hand and said, "Forget it, forget it, Sister Bai hasn't sang for several months, I'm afraid she won't be able to sing well and make us laugh at her, so let's not force her..." Unexpectedly, Yu Wan's truth fell silent, Bai Mudan stood up from her seat, cleared her throat, and began to sing in front of the crowd - it was a passage from "New Red Mansion": After singing a song, everyone clapped their hands and applauded. They all said that Bai Mudan was born with a golden voice, not to mention not singing for a few months, even if not singing for a few years. Only Zhu Mingan didn't speak, just sat there holding a cigarette in a daze, the ash fell on the suit, burned a big hole in the suit, and went out without a word. As soon as Zhu Ming'an went out, Yu Wanzhen followed suit, and Bai Mudan, who sat down again at the wine table, silently drank the glass of wine in front of her, and made Mr. He fill it up again, and said without thinking: " Everything is like a dream, is this world still reliable?" Director He wanted to comfort Bai Mudan, but Zhu Ming'an and Yu Wanzhen came back together, so Director He had to change his words and talk about "New Far East".We want everyone to regard the "New Far East" as their own in their hearts, and no matter how much wind and rain there will be in the future, we must advance and retreat together, and we cannot only care about ourselves. Everyone nodded in agreement, and declared that they would never be the number two of Xing Chu.
