Seeing that the atmosphere at the scene was not right, Mr. Du next to him was such a shrewd man. He immediately laughed and said: "Haha, Lilong, don't misunderstand me. The scholar is afraid that Jixian and I will be worried, and he doesn't want us to worry about their danger on the battlefield. So I never told us about it. When you said this, the scholar's good intentions were in vain."
Although Mr. Du said this, he had already guessed the reason for Zhou Wen's anger.
It turns out that the reason why Xiao Zhou didn't tell him and Junior Brother Su was that he was worried that Junior Brother would be in danger after seeing Zhang Xiaoping go to the battlefield many times. He was also worried that his precious daughter would be in danger of becoming a widow if she got married, so he didn't agree with the marriage between Zhang Xiaoping and Su Yaqin.
Haha, this Xiao Zhou, who usually never gets angry easily, is now angry about this matter. He really cares about and protects his brothers. However, some concerns are confusing.
Don't even think about how powerful you are now and how much weight you have with the principal? Not to mention ordinary people, even those high-ranking officials with power in the upper echelons of the Republic of China. Who would be willing to offend a big bug like you for no reason?
What's more, Junior Brother Su's beloved daughter is already in love with your adjutant, but they are not close. As long as you come to propose marriage in person, does Junior Brother Su still have any reason or confidence to refuse?
As for danger, what profession is not dangerous in these troubled times? Didn’t our Qing Gang still fight for territory every day on the streets in the past few years? Is it just because of the danger that we should not marry a wife or a daughter?
He didn't know that Zhou Wen looked at this issue from the perspective of later generations and fell into a misunderstanding.
When Mr. Du came out to smooth things over, Dai Lilong, a spirit-like figure, naturally borrowed the donkey from Poxia and beat him up himself and said: "Haha, look at my mouth, I have let down your good intentions, scholar. It's my boss." That’s not the case. How about I set up a table at the Chinachem Hotel tomorrow, one to welcome Shihe, and the other to apologize to the scholar?"
Zhou Wen also knew that now was not the time to argue with Dai Lilong, because he might even be caught by this old spy.
You know, Zhou Wen didn't want irrelevant people to know about Zhang Xiaoping and Su Yaqin, let alone Dai Lilong, a conspirator who could explode rocks into oil.
Zhou Wen calmed down his anger, turned around and apologized to Adjutant Wang: "I'm sorry, I lost my temper."
Although Adjutant Wang doesn't have many opportunities to deal directly with Zhou Wen, he has heard a lot and knows Zhou Wen's temper. He knows that he has a calm personality and will not get angry easily. But since you are angry, there must be a reason to be angry, but it is not known to others.
But Adjutant Wang's heart must be towards Zhou Wen, and he felt a little unhappy with Dai Lilong in his heart.
I don't want you to come, but you insist on coming, and when you come, you actually become a bad guest. The point is, now is the time when the principal is trying his best to win over Zhou Wen. It’s okay that you can’t help when you come, but you’re really adding to the trouble. If you mess up something big like the principal's, I'm afraid you won't be able to live a good life.
Thinking of this, Adjutant Wang waved his hand and said: "Forget it about taking the wind. I have some important things to do tomorrow morning. We will go back to Nanjing tomorrow afternoon. There are still a lot of things waiting at home."
Dai Lilong was a little dumbfounded when he heard this. He had originally planned to spend a few days having fun with Adjutant Wang in Shanghai.
It was a rare opportunity to get close to the people around the principal, so he was very motivated to perform well.
But he didn't know that they were leaving tomorrow, which caught him off guard.
Moreover, Dai Lilong came to Shanghai this time by taking the opportunity of escorting Adjutant Wang. He originally planned to beat Weng Minghui in person and reward Chen Qiang, so as to consolidate his absolute rule over Shanghai District.
You know, Dai Lilong is now the director of the Secret Service, and he cannot leave the Nanjing headquarters easily unless he encounters some special circumstances. The principal needs to consult any intelligence information and may be summoned to report at any time.
Moreover, as the head of the Chinese intelligence agency, for security reasons, his status is not suitable for patrolling in Shanghai, the forefront of the intelligence front against Japan.
A heavyweight like him has long been the focus of Japan's attention and the target of elimination. If something goes wrong in Shanghai, it will inevitably be a heavy loss to the Chinese intelligence community.
So this rare opportunity to go to Shanghai, Dai Lilong must have wanted to take advantage of it.
However, now he has no choice even if he is reluctant, because this time his role is just that of a follower and bodyguard, and Adjutant Wang is in charge.
Fortunately, Dai Lilong knew his duty and quickly adjusted his mentality. He first apologized to Zhou Wen again, then smiled apologetically at Zhang Xiaoping, and then accompanied Adjutant Wang to the car parked at the door.
As landlords, Mr. Du and Su Jixian had to accompany Adjutant Wang throughout the whole process, so they naturally left together.
After watching the two cars disappear from sight, Zhou Wen walked back to the living room with Miaohua and the others.
Seeing everyone looking at him, Zhou Wen smiled slightly and said: "Let Sister Ying make us a pot of good tea. I will tell you the purpose of Adjutant Wang's coming. By the way, I can also think about the recent things on our side. .”
In fact, no one needed to greet them. As soon as Zhou Wen and the others sat down, Zhao Ying came in with a teapot, poured a cup for everyone, and walked out quietly, closing the living room door.
This was also specifically stated by Zhou Wen. Other servants in the mansion were not allowed to enter any room in the mansion except for cleaning. Zhao Ying was usually responsible for serving tea and water.
This is not to say that there is anything wrong with the servants in the mansion. These people are all honest people from the countryside who have been personally selected by Zhao Ying.
But Zhou Wen's affairs were all confidential, and it was not appropriate for outsiders to know. I'm afraid that if a fast-talking servant hears it and accidentally leaks it, there will always be a lot of trouble.
Seeing Zhou Wen leisurely serving tea and drinking it slowly, while everyone was eagerly waiting for him to speak, Miaohua knew that this kid was showing off again, so she snorted and ignored him, and continued to drink tea.
But he knew in his heart that allowing Zhou Wen to have such a joking mood meant that Adjutant Wang's visit would not be bad news.
Of course Zhao Xiaojin and Zhang Xiaoping knew Zhou Wen's temperament, so they naturally smiled and drank tea without saying anything. Anyway, Zhou Wen would have to say it sooner or later? Now that I see that he is rarely in such a narrow-minded mood, it doesn't hurt to play with him.
This made Zhou Wen feel a little uncomfortable.
Are these brothers and sisters so understanding now? Why is there not even a single person to praise me? At least someone asked me if I could find a way to step down, right?
Seeing that even Zhang Xiaoping, who was usually the most obedient, was drinking tea with his head down, and he could clearly feel that this kid was smirking in his stomach, Zhou Wen had no choice but to cough to cover up his embarrassment. When he was about to speak, he saw that the closed door of the living room was being hit hard. Pushing away, a figure rushed out rashly
