At first, Li Delin felt that this man was of no use, so he slowly raised him as a fat sheep.
After entering the Chinese concession, there was no special care for him!
The same was true for Secretary Liu. After the original arrangement, there was no effective communication with William.
But everything today made William extremely excited.
Just yesterday, he received a call from the Ministry of Industry and Commerce Bureau of the Concession. It was from the secretarial department.
He said that today, Director Li Delin's top secret, brought dignitaries from China to his residence to meet him, and asked him to cooperate well when the time comes.
William, his mind was lost at that time.
The top organization in the Chinese Concession, Li Delin's top secret, who is that person?
Let's put it this way, except for those special people, people who entered Jingang Community have never even seen Li Delin's face.
Whether they pay "rent" or ask for help, the department they have the most contact with is the secretarial department.
The secretarial department is headed by Secretary Liu.
From this we can see how important Secretary Liu's status is in the eyes of this group of people living in Jingang Community.
Even though he had only entered the concession for more than two months, as a former political figure, he had a keen sense of who he wanted to flatter.
Secretary Liu was someone he absolutely wanted to support.
In order to leave a good impression on Secretary Liu, he deliberately wore Chinese clothes and learned Chinese language on ordinary days.
I also learned some Chinese cultural knowledge.
However, some of them are too profound, and I still haven’t learned enough!
But the attitude is very comfortable.
The same was naturally true for Secretary Liu. Seeing William's clothes, the smile on his face never stopped.
"William, you are interested! Have you had any trouble recently? I heard from the secretarial department that you have been there several times, but you have been too busy recently, so I neglected it."
When William heard this, his eyes immediately turned hot.
"Secretary Liu, these trivial matters are not as important as Secretary Liu's matters! They're not worth mentioning, they're not worth mentioning!"
But I was very excited.
His life in the concession was not easy.
I am looking for Secretary Liu to reduce some "rent". The rent is a bit high now and he can't bear it anymore!
His foundation is not deep, he has not been in office for too long, and he is not greedy enough!
Secretary Liu laughed loudly: "Okay, we will talk about your business later. Today I will introduce you to an important person, a big shot from China!"
"Commissioner Cao!"
Xiao Cao smiled and cupped his hands.
William was so surprised that he quickly returned the greeting: "Hello, Commissioner Cao!"
Xiao Cao nodded: "I have long heard that Mr. William was the mainstay of the beautiful country, but I didn't expect that he would be reduced to this. Is this your lady? Why are there some threads in the clothes? Liu Er, you can handle this matter It’s not in place!”
Secretary Liu took a look at Mrs. William's light cyan cheongsam and found that there were indeed a few seams that were cut open. She was shocked inwardly by Commissioner Cao's sharp gaze.
It’s so secretive and you can see the concave and convex positions. It’s really a true inheritance from our ancestors!
I quickly acted like I was derelict in my duty.
"My subordinate has neglected his duty. I will definitely pay more attention to the living conditions of Mr. William's family in the future!"
On the contrary, Mrs. William was a little embarrassed by the two people.
The places where her threads are routed are not caused by her financial situation at all. Even if she has no money, she won't have no decent clothes.
However, when I got up and went downstairs this morning, the movement was a little bigger and it collapsed!
Sometimes Mrs. William complained that the cheongsam was too small.
"Well, that's right. Mr. William can come to the Chinese Concession as a guest, and we must entertain him well!"
The smiling look surprised William.
Being a guest?
What does it mean?
For a moment, I was a little unsure of what this big shot was thinking!
Do you want to force yourself to leave?
It shouldn't be, why would Todoroki have to go through so much trouble by himself? And let such a big shot come forward?
But I didn’t dare to ask more questions.
It’s hard to live under someone else’s roof!
He quickly smiled and said: "Commissioner Cao and Secretary Liu have prepared some wine, which is authentic Chinese wine from the Chinese supermarket. I also prepared some stir-fries. Let's go in and eat and chat?"
Good guy, look at William's way of doing as the Romans do, Secretary Liu had to admire him.
It is indeed a person who has reached the ministerial level as a non-party person.
The words used are also authentic!
Xiao Cao nodded happily.
In the room, there is a one-meter-two-meter-square Eight Immortals table, a few small stools, and some snacks have been placed on the table.
There are also several wine jars.
Mrs. William went to work, probably cooking.
Xiao Cao smashed his mouth.
Sat down.
The three of them chatted while eating, and Xiao Cao felt that Mrs. William's cooking was actually good and had a different flavor.
In a blink of an eye, it was almost done. William served it carefully, and exchanged cups with Xiao Cao. Xiao Cao felt comfortable eating.
Only then did Mrs. William look at her, who was already drunk, and said with a smile to William: "William, have you always wanted to be a guest in the Chinese Concession your whole life?"
There was a sound.
The wine glass in William's hand almost slipped, and half of the wine was spilled.
Mrs. William stood up and collected the spilled wine.
Xiao Cao didn't look sideways, not looking at the temptation pouting in front of him, and just looked at William.
William looked panicked and begged Xiao Cao: "Commissioner Cao, what did I do wrong? Or is the Congress looking for someone to put pressure on the concession again?"
I felt sad, couldn't the Chinese concessions protect themselves?
Xiao Cao laughed when he saw his panic look.
"William, you are too worried!"
He put down the wine glass without leaving a trace, and then patted it gently: "Madam, I want to talk to William about something. Can you make us a few cups of tea?"
Mrs. William's face turned red while she was cleaning up the spilled wine, and then she realized that the men had something important to talk about.
Stand up quickly and step back.
"William, what I mean is, do you just want to hide in the concession for the rest of your life? Don't you want to make a difference?"
"I heard that recently, I can hardly afford to pay the rent. Have you really thought about living like this?"
William's face was full of sorrow.
"Commissioner Cao, I don't want to live like this, but what can I do? I offended a lot of people when I was in office. Now I don't dare to go out at all. Even those old connections and old subordinates still treat me Take it seriously, but you can’t protect me endlessly!”
He said with a self-deprecating smile on his face: "To tell you the truth, these two months in the concession have been the most comfortable time for me. At least I don't have to worry about my brain being gone when we come together tomorrow morning!"
"Especially, those people who I am hostile to are just living in a state of disgrace. I have implemented many policies that are not conducive to them. They all want to eat me!"
These people are naturally the capitalists!
William, you still have ideals and ambitions in your heart!
Otherwise, Xiao Cao wouldn’t look for him!
