readx; In a mansion by the Huangpu River in Shanghai, Lina stood in front of the glass window and looked into the distance, holding an unfolded letter in her hand. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"I wonder if my mother will go to Nanjing?" Lina was a little worried, originally thought that she would be able to meet Chen Jingyun after arriving in Shanghai, but Chen Jingyun's status in China is more sensitive than she imagined, not only did she not meet Chen Jingyun in Shanghai, but it seems that Chen Jingyun can't come to Shanghai to see him.

For Linna, since she has come to Shanghai, it doesn't seem so difficult to accept to go to Nanjing to see him again, the girl's mind has already been stirred up by Chen Jingyun, and she has already begun to be impulsive when she was in the United States, and now the impulse is still continuing, she just wants to see Chen Jingyun in her mind, and everything else is no longer in her consideration.

On the first floor of the mansion, the Countess was talking to a person, and this guest was not an ordinary person but the British Minister in Shanghai, Sir Fareis.

This man's nose is smarter than a dog, and the Countess and his party have just gotten off the boat and settled down, and he has already come to the door, and this person's admiration for the Countess can be described as a naked performance, without any hindrance.

"Madam, I have also received an invitation from President Chen Jingyun of Nanjing, and I am ready to go to Nanjing to attend a business reception, I don't know when Madame will leave, and we can walk together at that time!" Sir Fareth said with a compliment.

The Countess smiled and said, "We'll leave early tomorrow morning!" ”

Sir Fareth laughed, "Oh, it just so happens that I'm going to go tomorrow morning!" ”

The Countess did not say much about the coincidence in Sir Fareis's mouth, but only smiled.

The next day, the Countess and Lena had already taken the train to Nanking with Sir Fareth and his party, and of course William, who was slightly depressed.

William didn't know the details of the matter, and he didn't know the ambiguous relationship between Lina and Chen Jingyun before, so he chased him from New York to Shanghai in a hurry, wanting to move Linna with his sincerity, but after arriving in Shanghai, he gradually saw that he didn't delay at all. Although the countess and others never said what their relationship with Chen Jingyun was, from the time they got off the ship and received the arrangement from the officials sent by Chen Jingyun, no matter how stupid William was, he also noticed that something was wrong, especially when he heard Lina mention Chen Jingyun's name without hesitation, and learned that Lina had always maintained close correspondence with Chen Jingyun, he thought of Linna's strangeness along the way, and immediately guessed that the relationship between Chen Jingyun and Linna was not simple. It's just that he is just an ordinary rich man's son, and he doesn't dare to have any interest in Far Eastern China, so he naturally doesn't know much about Chen Jingyun, and in the past two days in Shanghai, he also learned a little about Chen Jingyun through newspapers and other channels, and then he was depressed.

Because Chen Jingyun's identity as a rival in love is too special, he can't be compared with himself at all.

The other party is the leader of a country's political axe, although this country is an extremely backward country, but this cannot hide the fact that Chen Jingyun's identity is far beyond him.

When he thought that his rival in love invited Linna to Nanjing, he was even more depressed.

Although Chen Jingyun's biggest purpose in holding this diplomatic ball was for Linna, it was okay to deal with some other things casually, so when he asked the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to prepare a ball recently, those people in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs directly held a ball in advance.

In addition to inviting diplomats from various countries, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs also invited many foreign businessmen in China to attend, and of course, the wealthy people in their own countries also sent invitations one by one. The purpose of inviting these individuals is to allow the Economic Development Division to give a general account of the industrial plan being planned by the Economic Development Division.

Although it is said that the industrial planning in the economic development department's plan is based on US capital as the main source, other countries and even private capital are all to strive for, after all, so many industrial plans, so many large projects, the United States alone cannot eat all of them, it is not that the US capital does not have so much money, but they certainly dare not invest so much money now. After all, the investment in this industrial plan is an ordinary commercial investment, not a loan between political axes. Loans between political axes tend to have a great diplomatic tendency, and the previous two rounds of military aid programs were funded by the United States to support Chen Jingyun's rule in China. These industrial plans, which are now planned, are ordinary commercial investments, which are to be financed from the capitalists of various countries. This is not the same as political axe support.

For foreign investment, Chen Jingyun's attitude has always been that the more the merrier, no matter what the United States or Britain or Germany, or even say, 'It doesn't matter if they put money in, then they are the bosses, and Chen Jingyun treats them as the God of Wealth.

Chen Jingyun scoffed at the concern that many people feared that too much foreign capital would lead to foreign capital controlling the country's economic lifeline.

Moreover, what is now related to the lifeblood of the country is nothing more than the military industry, that is, heavy industry, but these industries are all controlled by Huaxia Bank, in other words, by Chen Jingyun. If foreign capital in these industries wants to get involved, they have to cooperate with Huaxia Bank, otherwise they don't want to get approval for investment.

Moreover, Chen Jingyun has a feeling that he is barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes, anyway, he has nothing in his hands now, as long as foreign capital invests in, he doesn't care so much, to put it in extreme terms, even the railways in the whole country have been built by foreign capital, and even the right to operate is permanently given to them. Not to mention that there is a means of confiscating the assets of the enemy during the war, even if the railway is to be recovered in peacetime, it is not a matter of Chen Jingyun's words, as for the international reputation, when China builds a huge army and millions of troops to deter the whole of Asia, it still needs to talk about the international reputation of a fart.

When have you ever seen the United States after World War II talk about international credibility?

So when you don't have anything in your house, don't worry about what other people will be greedy for your things, but think about bringing in other people's things first.

And then there is a very important point, capital in and out of the free is not so easy, cash can be taken away, but they exchanged the money for equipment and invested in Chinese land, is it difficult that they can move the factory, equipment and railways at that time.

Chen Jingyun's idea has also been endorsed by many people in the Department of Economic Development, and Ma Yinchu also said: "The top priority now is to attract foreign investment, and nothing else is a problem!" ”

In order to attract foreign investment on a large scale, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs specially organized this ball for the Economic Development Department, so it is naturally impossible for Chen Jingyun or Ma Yinchu to hold a thick report on the stage to speak, but a propaganda pamphlet has already been prepared during the meeting, which briefly describes the industrial plan that the Nanjing Republican Axe is going to implement, and the Economic Development Department has also sent many officials to come, walking around the venue with wine glasses, and from time to time softly explaining some items of industrial planning to foreign businessmen. At the same time, we will not forget to talk about the bright prospects for the future.

Of course, although the real goal of this ball is to attract investment, on the surface it seems that this ball has nothing to do with business and government affairs, and men and women in costumes are interspersed in the venue, at least in Linna's opinion, this ball is no different from an ordinary Christmas ball.

Lena was wearing a white evening dress, with a red gloved hand holding a glass of Lance bubble wine, the golden wine swayed with the slight shaking of the red hand, William stood beside her, also holding a glass of wine and smiling and talking to an Irishman, the Irish businessman should be a member of the businessmen in China, according to his own words There are many industries in Shanghai, and recently invested in the construction of a factory in the Shanghai Economic Development Zone. William is the son of a wealthy businessman, but he is still young and naturally has not been involved in the family business, so he can't say anything.

Lena was even less interested in these, and just said a few words for the sake of face, but as soon as the Irish merchant heard about Linna's Grantor aristocratic surname, he said directly: "Erin, who lives in London? Miss Grantor must be her family! ”

Lena said, "That's my cousin!" ”

"Oh, I've heard that Miss Irene has published several articles in the London newspaper in favor of and in favor of us Irish people gaining reading power, I wonder if Miss Lena has this idea too!" The Irish merchant waited with interest for Linna's answer.

Lina frowned slightly, she didn't like these political topics. Besides, the UK is now very sensitive to the issue of Irish reading, and if you are not careful, you will invite trouble in public opinion. Although Lina, a traditional British aristocrat, scoffed at Irish reading, she remained extremely cautious: "I think the members of Parliament will make the right judgment on the Irish question!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the Irish merchant seemed to want to ask a few questions, but Lena had already looked in the direction of the gate, and then went in the direction of the gate.

William was also looking over there at this time, and only then did he realize that many people were looking in the direction of the gate.

Lina is not tall, and she can't see clearly when she stands behind, so she wants to squeeze forward, but fortunately, the people present are all gentlemen and ladies with status, and they will not do anything crowding with their own identities, so let Lina walk to the front along the air raid.

As soon as she arrived at the front, Lina saw Chen Jingyun.

At this time, Chen Jingyun, like him attending other formal occasions, appeared in everyone's eyes wearing his marshal dress. At this time, his mustache had been formed for a long time, making it seem that he was older to outsiders. After all, it is a fact that Chen Jingyun is too young, and as a national leader, he is only twenty-five years old, which is somewhat prejudiced, so Chen Jingyun usually tries to dress himself up as old as possible, and Chen Jingyun at this time looks similar to an ordinary general in his thirties.

Chen Jingyun's eyes were not bad, the first time he came in was to find Linna in the crowd, so that his steps stopped when he walked, and then his eyes fell on her body without obstruction, her face, in the eyes of everyone took the initiative, the two eyes collided in the air, the line of sight seemed to be entangled, rubbed in the air, and finally let the temperature in the air rise, as if a gentle popping sound sounded, and sparks flashed out of thin air in the air.

The moment Lina saw him, it was as if the figure she had been missing for a year coincided with the person in front of her, no longer the phantom she missed, but the person who actually existed. At that moment, she felt as if the people around her had disappeared, leaving only herself and him, as if even she had disappeared, as if he was the only one in the whole world.

Yu Shifeng, who was behind Chen Jingyun, saw that Chen Jingyun in front of him was a little out of shape, and immediately stepped forward and touched Chen Jingyun quietly, so that Chen Jingyun came to his senses.

On this occasion, with so many people, it is naturally impossible to stare at Linna openly, and even to say a few intimate words, Chen Jingyun can only continue to walk forward with a smile, and then start to say hello to some people.

After walking down in a small half circle, Chen Jingyun just walked to Linna's side, but now Linna's side doesn't know when the countess has appeared, Chen Jingyun looked at the countess in front of him, this noble lady still maintains the beauty of the past, but now he has no thoughts about this delicate countess.

"Madam, it's been a hard journey!" Chen Jingyun said to the countess, but the afterglow in the corner of his eye was already on Linna, and before he even waited for the countess to answer, he just said to Linna: "Miss Linna, welcome to Nanjing, I don't know how Nanjing makes you feel." ”

Lina was happy: "Well, I saw it on the way here, Nanjing is very beautiful!" I love it! ”

Liar, the countess next to him muttered in their hearts, they had time to see what Nanjing was like, after getting off the train, it was with Sir Fareth to stay in the British office in Nanjing, and then the next day was to come directly to the party, although passing by some streets of Nanjing, but did not look carefully at all, but just a quick look on the street, but also noticed that this Nanjing is almost except for the political axe office area near the presidential palace, other places are extremely backward, There is no comparison with Shanghai, let alone big cities such as London and New York, let alone a liking.

The countess doesn't like this city, and she also knows that her daughter doesn't like this city much, so the reason why she said she likes it in front of Chen Jingyun is also false.

It's just that for Linna, although she doesn't know what Nanjing is like now, and she doesn't even have a clearer concept, what does it matter, he is here, so what does it matter if he likes this city.

The feeling of a city is mostly influenced by a certain person, and if that person is here, they will naturally like it. Even if it's disgusting, it's a special feeling. The special feeling of having a place is always inseparable from the influence of some external factors.

"It's good to like it, in fact, there are a lot of fun places in Nanjing, Miss Linna shouldn't miss it!" Chen Jingyun said softly.

Lina nodded: "I also want to have a good time in Nanjing!" ”

Chen Jingyun wanted to continue to say a few words, but Yu Shifeng beside him had already seen a hint again, and immediately said with a slight apology: "I hope Miss Linna has a good time in Nanjing!" ”

Then he turned around and talked to Dao Erqing, but Chen Jingyun left, but Yan Jing Kuang, the accompanying secretary behind Chen Jingyun, quietly stayed, and then walked to Linna's side and said, "The president, please talk about it!" ”

Although Lina is young, she is a smart woman, and she also knows that Chen Jingyun is not suitable to talk to herself on this occasion, but she also knows that Chen Jingyun specially invited herself here, not just to say the few words just now, Lina already knew from Chen Jingyun's eyes just now that he also missed herself, and she also had a lot of things to say to herself.

Following Yan Jing Kuang's footsteps, Lina left the banquet hall and went up to the second floor, although the countess on the side wanted to say something, but seeing her daughter's expectant look, she still held back, and even when William came over and asked Linna where she went, she pretended not to know.

After entering a large room, Yan Jing Kuang looked at this blonde woman who looked like a doll, and while secretly sighing that Chen Jingyun had a special taste, he also said respectfully: "The president will come over in a while, does the young lady have any other orders?" ”

Although Yan Jing Kuang doesn't understand why Chen Jingyun likes this adopted woman, according to Yan Jing Kuang's traditional Chinese man's eyes, the blonde and blue-eyed British aristocratic woman in front of him can't be compared with those ladies from Chinese families. In particular, in the past two years, the Kuomintang has been hyping up the superiority of the Chinese nation, which naturally leads to belittling other nationalities, so many people who think that they have noble and yellow blood look down on blonde people more and more.

But Yan Jing Kuang, as Chen Jingyun's accompanying secretary, knows very well that Chen Jingyun and this British woman have an inexplicable ambiguous relationship, although he doesn't understand it, but he can't say that the adopted woman in front of him has become Chen Jingyun's mistress, so it is still necessary to maintain sufficient respect for Linna.

"No need, I'll just wait here!" Lena quietly looked at the room, which was supposed to be a reception room, and it was very richly laid out.

Yan Jing Kuang didn't dare to stay too long after hearing this, and immediately turned around and went out.

Lina sat down by herself, and then thought about things to herself, remembered the process of meeting Chen Jingyun after she came to Shanghai last year, remembered the situation when he dressed himself at the Christmas ball last year, and remembered the situation when the two looked up at the fireworks blooming.

didn't wait too long, the door of the room was opened, Linna turned her head to look, and saw Chen Jingyun coming steadily.

"I've kept you waiting!" Chen Jingyun walked over, but many of the words that had been prepared could not be said.

Lina shook her head: "Not for long! ”

Then stood up and looked at Chen Jingyun, without waiting for Chen Jingyun to speak, she just said: "It's good to see you!" ”
