Wife’s Funny Life - Chapter 48
Du Yuesheng happily counted the money in her hands. In the blink of an eye, a thousand yuan was over. Everyone said that Shanghai was his, Du Yuesheng’s, domain, but he felt that earning money was the easiest thing to do today.
That fat horse had steadily gotten first place.
Hans looked at Du Yuesheng with a look of envy and rejoiced. Thankfully, he had only bet five hundred yuan. If he won, he would win. Although Du Yuesheng did not agree to bet with him, he smiled and said, “Mi Shudu, you have a good eye. You can take away the ammunition whenever you want, but as a condition, can you introduce me to the secrets of watching horses?”
It appeared that Hans was still unwilling to give up. At this moment, the salary of the senior white-collar employees of the foreign banks were only a few dozen yuan. For leaders like him who came from abroad, they could be considered rich.
Du Yuesheng was in a very good mood as she smiled and said, “Business is business. Let’s talk about that batch of firearms.” However, the person with good eyes today is not me, but this Miss Xu. ”
Xu Bao had met James before, so he was not unfamiliar with foreigners. He felt that they often made a fuss and were curious about everything. Furthermore, they liked to put perfume on their bodies. The smell was very strong.
Sure enough, when Hans heard that it was the beautiful lady who was leading the horse, he became even more surprised and shouted out loudly, “Oh! “God, it’s a pleasure to meet you. Xu, you have such good eyes. Can you tell me your secret?”
Hans was as stubborn and shameless as ever. This was a good way to make money. Normally, he looked down on Chinese and felt that Chinese people were very stupid. However, when facing smart Chinese people, he still respected them a lot.
Xu Bao felt that this person’s Mandarin was much better than that of the dirty lioness. His hair was not fluffy like the dirty lioness’, nor was it golden. Instead, it was brown black and grey like a rabbit.
However, everyone watching the match in the bleachers was very excited. Besides Xu Bao who was very calm, even Du Yuesheng was sweating. This was one of the fun things about the horse race.
She organized her words and said, “Mr. Khan, your horse is delicious. Look at the legs, the belly! ”
Hans was stunned by the short answer. Didn’t the Chinese like simple questions to be complicated? Why was this young lady so careful of her words? It must be someone from a famous clan. Hans continued to focus on the horses in the stables and thought about what Xu’s words had meant.
Bingo! That must be it. Looking at the backs of Du Yuesheng and Xu Bao as they walked away, Hans suddenly realized that this beautiful Chinese lady meant that to observe a good or bad thing, one should first treat it as one’s most beloved thing. Just like having a good taste, one must sincerely look at it with love, and then observe the legs of the horses and the belly of the horses one by one.
That beautiful Chinese lady was really interesting. He didn’t know when he would meet her again, but Hans had learned the truth about being a man from her teaching him how to recognize horses. He had to put his heart into everything.
When Xu Bao and Du Yuesheng parted ways, Du Yuesheng resolutely wanted to give Xu Bao the last three diamonds.
Xu Bao refused, “Big Brother Du, my big brother said that this isn’t a glass bead. It’s very valuable, so I can’t take it.”
Du Yuesheng was definitely in trouble. No wonder that girl was looking at him with an ignorant look when she received his diamond. She had thought that it was glass beads.
“It’s alright, take these three pills. Today, you helped me win quite a bit of money. If you don’t want them, then I won’t dare to take the money.” Du Yuesheng laughed.
Xu Bao thought about it for a moment. It seemed to be true, so he accepted the diamond.
Du Yuesheng personally escorted Xu Bao back to the Wu Residence and left without saying anything else. Xu Bao said that Big Brother Du’s food was really delicious. He was very thankful. If there was a chance, she would also treat Big Brother Du to a meal. Actually, what she was thinking was that this way, she would have an excuse to go out and eat delicious food, and her brother would not stop her.
Du Yuesheng happily agreed.
Today, Wu Anguo was helping the military commander with some work. After a busy day, he came back. He did not expect the little girl to be even later than him, causing him to worry.
He quickly asked her what had happened today, and Xu Bao said, “I ate good food, then went to watch the horse run. I didn’t get any horse meat, so I came back.”
Wu Anguo was puzzled. Why was Du Yuesheng so interested in her little girl? Speaking of beauty, he had seen quite a few singing girls and celebrities in Shanghai, and they were all more good-looking than her little girl. Could it be that Du Yuesheng was planning something wrong?
The next day, Wu Anguo was still worried, so he told Commander Liu about this matter. Wu Anguo was a young man, so he could not understand, but Liu Changshan was an experienced man, so he did not know what kind of beauty Du Yuesheng did not meet, and perhaps she just liked to be a fool. Of course, he could not say that Xu Bao was a silly girl, but he only comforted Wu Anguo a few times and said that it was fine.
Liu Changshan sent Wu Anguo off like this, but he immediately prepared several valuable gifts to pay his respects to Du Yuesheng.
Du Yuesheng did not see him. She only sent a message to one of her subordinates, saying that she should go directly to someone in the Nanjing Ministry of Defense.
Liu Changshan was overjoyed.
He knew that Du Yuesheng was avoiding suspicion, but she had also told him the way.
The next step was to get the money. As long as he had the connections, he would be able to pass the money over. Nowadays, the world is equivalent to Chiang Kai-shek’s team. Liu Chang-shan considered that only by joining Chiang Kai-shek’s team could he stand firm in China.
Wu Anguo had just figured out a bit of the relationship between Shanghai and military officer Liu, but he was still given the money. Wu Anguo had just figured out a bit of the relationship between Shanghai and military officer Liu, then he was given the money to change all the valuable things he had received over the years into coins.
Wu Anguo didn’t know that his superior was going to Nanjing.
However, in his dealings with the three schools and nine schools, Wu Anguo had also learned a lot of things. As a soldier, he had a straightforward temperament, but he was also meticulous in his calculations. Not only did Wu Anguo wholeheartedly work for him, he didn’t have the slightest bit of greed. In fact, the selling price was even higher than what he had asked for himself. Liu Changshan felt somewhat guilty that Wu Anguo would still sincerely work for him even though he was no longer the commander of the army. If he went to Nanjing, he might not be able to take Wu Anguo away.
Actually, Wu Anguo was aware of this, but after arriving in Shanghai, he also understood a bit. If his subordinates had a better development, he would support them, not to mention his leadership. He had told Shiqing about this, but Shiqing told him not to think too much about it. He had to work wholeheartedly in front of the leader, and work even harder than before.
Sure enough, not long later.
Commander Liu suddenly changed and became an important member of the Nanjing government’s Ministry of Defence. He was going to take up his post the very next day.
Qiu Lingzhu hugged Xu Bao with tears in her eyes. “Sister, I really can’t bear to part with you. Just you wait. When Old Liu is settled, let him transfer you to Nanjing.”
When Xu Bao heard that Big Sis Qiu was leaving, he also hugged Big Sis Qiu with tears in his eyes.
Seeing this, Liu Changshan felt even more guilty.
He called Wu Anguo to his study room and told him, “An Guo, you know what’s going on right now, I was forced to do it. Don’t worry, once I get to Nanjing, I will arrange everything for you immediately. Thank you for all this time.”
Wu Anguo bowed to Commander Liu, “Army Commander, without you, there would be no Wu Anguo today. Rest assured, go over there. If there’s anything you need help with, An Guo will immediately set out.”
Liu Changshan listened but didn’t say anything. He stood up and patted Wu Anguo’s shoulder.
In Nanjing, everything went smoothly, and there was money to be had. Besides, Chiang Kai-shek really needed talent, and he needed his own people to lead the army. Liu Chang-shan took the initiative to approach him, which pleased Chiang, and even personally received him, praising his military prowess. Of course, since Crooked Yang County had used up all of its military power, that was simply too awesome, but at the moment, they were not going to talk about the battlefield, everyone knew that it was good, and because of this, Commander Liu had picked up a big bargain, which Jiang Jieshi attached great importance to. As soon as he arrived, Jiang Jieshi had placed emphasis on it, which was out of Liu Changshan’s expectations, and he faintly felt that there was a misunderstanding, but the result was a good one, so it was a misunderstanding.
He was very proud to be in Nanjing, and he was at home all of a sudden. Qiu Lingzhu had to adapt to the life of a high-ranking official’s wife again. She was always the best, even if she talked all day long. This reminded Liu Changshan of Wu Anguo. He thought of how Wu Anguo had done so many things for him and even saved his life. It was time to repay him, so he diligently searched for a suitable position for him.
A month later, Wu Anguo looked at the telegram on his desk. It said that the Nanjing Finance Department and the Shanghai Customs Department each had a high position for him to choose from.
Wu Anguo looked at the telegram and sighed. He raised his head and saw Shiqing sitting across from him. Even after arriving in Shanghai, he was still smoking his old pipe and did not look surprised at all.
“Shiqing, what do you think?” Wu Anguo asked.
Zhang Shiqing blew out a long cloud of smoke and said, “Nanjing, your qualifications are too low. Shanghai is still the best place. If you use it properly, you might be able to go back to Shanxi Province.”
Wu Anguo also thought the same way, so it was decided, the Shanghai Customs Administration.
The customs office was definitely a good place to be in this year’s competition, Liu Changshan must have put in a lot of effort to get this position.
However, this alone was not enough to solve the problem. He still needed Wu Anguo to sort it out himself. There were many competitors and everyone had a backer. The final victor would depend on whether or not they could find the right person to give them gifts.
“An Guo, this time you and Sister-in-law are going to treat Master Du to a meal together.” Zhang Shiqing continued to puff after he said that.
