Almost at first glance, Xiao Bailu felt that Wu Anguo was a good young man. It was different from the old store oil bars they had seen before, and it was also different from the government officials that were crafty and cunning. The people who were in charge of the military here were outspoken, so their words made people feel comfortable. Xiao Bai Lu felt that his choice this time was the right one.
"Guan Guan Lao Da, please give us some pointers regarding your future work." Wu Anguo said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner …
"Haha, An Guo, you're too polite. Speaking of customs, that's the sort of thing. The more you care about things, the less you care about things. I'll explain everything to you in detail after you go to work. I think highly of you. How about this, I'll hold an inauguration banquet for you this weekend. You should also get to know everyone and get started on your work. " Xiao Bailu was in good spirits. A few days ago, he had spread the news about the past few years, but he did not appear weak. Instead, he was in a better mood than before.
Wu Anguo expressed his gratitude repeatedly.
Now he had found a job in Shanghai and stayed there.
Shanghai has no secrets. Wu Anguo, the newly appointed vice governor of the Customs Administration, had already been investigated by everyone. One had to know, in such a hot position, the people who could go up must be very capable.
However, it was clear that Wu Anguo himself was nothing special. He was just a defeated military officer. However, based on his current attitude, he couldn't be underestimated.
Vice Captain Wu's inauguration banquet had invited quite a few people. Because the customs had to deal with all kinds of people, they had to be familiar with all kinds of people, both Chinese and foreign.
Today was Wu Anguo's grand day, and it allowed his subordinates to see hope. As long as their boss could settle down, they at least would not be disbanded.
Song Yihan, who he had not seen for a long time, also came.
Song Yihan was dressed in a white suit and looked like a gentleman. He had also attracted a lot of attention.
"Lulu, who's that handsome guy over there? "So handsome!" A smartly dressed girl lowered her head and whispered to the girl beside her
"You don't even know this, let me tell you, he is the poet Song Yihan who wrote 'The East Coast'. Let me tell you, he is now a reporter for 'Reporting'. Look at the newspapers, the headlines these days, they were almost all written by him. The woman called Lulu was like a modern wage hunter, detailing the identity of Song Yi Han.
"He's actually just a reporter. In my opinion, Chief Wu is more manly, tall, powerful, handsome, and has a high position." When the girl heard that Song Yihan was only a journalist, she shifted her attention to Wu Anguo.
You don't know. Song Yinhan is not just a journalist. He has a big family background." "Furthermore, he's single. Even though that Guan Lao Da has a high position at such a young age, he already has a wife." Lulu analyzed very rationally.
"Tsk, Lulu, I asked around on purpose. Guan Wu's wife came from the countryside, and she's from the Chinese Republic. Which Shanghai person doesn't have one or two new wives?" The girl said confidently.
Before long, the number of people had increased. Indeed, there were quite a few people surrounding Song Yihan and Wu Anguo.
Xu Bao was also present today. Today was her husband's big day, but she was still wearing her qipao. In fact, she had a good figure, was young, and wore her qipao, giving off a feeling of both purity and charm.
Many people came to support him. Even Master Du sent someone to show his face, giving Wu Anguo a lot of face. There were even more people who squeezed in to get to know him. Xu Bao didn't like being squeezed in. There was only one reason that she liked banquets, and that was because there were delicious foods in there.
She held a cup of cola and blew bubbles while sitting in the corner, focusing on handling the delicacies in front of her.
Song Yihan, who was surrounded by many famous ladies, tried several times to reach Xu Bao but to no avail. Now that he was a reporter, he immediately revealed the inside story of the Shanghai racetrack, causing the sales of newspapers to soar. He received great attention from the chief editor, and his reputation also soared.
Wu Anguo is today's protagonist is naturally also a lot of people, even more inseparable.
They finally got to know each other, but they were stopped by a pretty girl in a short dress.
An Guo, let me introduce you. This Miss Chen Siya is a volunteer at Huayei Relief Club and has made a great contribution to charity with Chinese and foreign patriots. Have a good chat with her. She is a well-known talented girl, a graduate of the UK's Pork Tendon University." After Xiao Bailu finished introducing Wu Anguo and the girl, he smiled and left.
So it turned out that Chen Siya was a close friend of his wife, Shan Shan. Although she had very high standards and had always been waiting to marry, she had fallen in love with him from the first moment she saw Wu Anguo.
She fell in love with him all of a sudden. She felt that she had met the main character on her journey of life, yes, that's right, he was tall and handsome, with a manly personality, an upright character, a kind heart, and an officer's background. He really was too handsome.
After that, she would be out of her mind and would have to be introduced by Shan Shan.
Her good friend, Siya, had a good family background and was a leading figure in the business world in Shanghai. Furthermore, she had studied abroad, so there was nothing to choose between her character and knowledge. Why did she reject a single young man with a family background and many good family background in Shanghai?
However, Chen Siya was certain that it was Wu Anguo. She was a new type of educator, and she spent her days reading books like Which Woman Does This Age Need, Unmarried, and How to Play with Men. The person she worshipped the most was the American actress, Mary McCormick. She believed that nothing could stop love.
From the moment she spoke to Wu Anguo, she had already determined that it was this man.
She could tell that Wu Anguo was a man of high mannerism, but he was a bit shy towards women. Even if he was impatient, he didn't say anything to chase her away. Perhaps he was embarrassed.
Chen Siya, dressed in a dress, and Wu Anguo, who wore a suit specially for today, stood in a very opposite position. Seeing the figure reflected in the glass, she became even more intoxicated.
Xu Bao was still eating, but was stopped by Third Aunt.
"My dear grandaunt! "You're still eating? Go and take a look, the young master is about to be enchanted by the Shanghai fox spirit, yet you're still eating here." Third Aunt snatched the plate from Xu Bao's hands, reached out for a handkerchief and wiped away some of the crumbs on her face, urging Xu Bao to be more quick-witted.
Xu Bao was also full of food, and upon hearing that someone had the guts to try and take advantage of her big brother, it was simply too outrageous. In her eyes, food and her big brother both belonged to her, and food could be eaten and warmed up the bed.
As Wu Anguo and Chen Siya were talking, they realized that this girl in front of them was not simple at all. She actually knew so many things, and her words reminded them of Song Yihan. Wu Anguo's ability to grow from a country bumpkin to today was also due to his proficiency in learning from others. He was also eager to learn more about the current situation in Shanghai and the relationships between the various people.
Thus, the two chatted excitedly …
"Brother Wu, please call me Sisi. That's what my dad calls me. You are working in customs, so you must deal with foreigners. I'll introduce you to a few people, and I'm sure it will be more convenient for you to work in the future. " Chen Siya sweetly said. She was different from other women in that she was smart and could quickly understand what the other wanted to know. As a result, she would always respond to what the other wanted to know, allowing people to happily continue their conversation with her.
Wu Anguo nodded.
Under Chen Siya's introduction, he got to know many of the foreigners who were dealing with customs. Seeing her speak fluent English to the foreigners made him admire her greatly. At the same time, Chen Siya was kind enough to translate for Wu Anguo, making it very easy for Wu Anguo to talk to these foreigners. Maybe Chen Siya's translation was more interesting, or maybe she was more beautiful. Anyway, it was always easy to have beautiful women to speak on occasions.
At this time, Xu Bao arrived.
Sure enough, she saw a woman in a dress casually place her hand on her brother's arm. She was very angry, and the consequences would be severe.
Xu Bao didn't care about the banquet etiquette at all. She walked between her big brother and that woman, holding her husband's hand in a very domineering manner and announcing everything to him.
Chen Siya was talking happily, her face beaming with happiness. Seeing that Wu Anguo was growing more and more fond of her, she was suddenly pushed aside and staggered a few steps.
When Wu Anguo saw the little girl coming over, he looked so angry. He didn't know if it was because he had caused trouble or because something had happened, but he was very happy that the little girl had finally thought of him. He introduced the woman in front of him with a smile, "This is my wife, Xu."
A few foreigners expressed surprise. Earlier, they had thought Chen was his lover.
Chen Siya also looked somewhat embarrassed, but she quickly adjusted her appearance. She looked at Xu Bao and saw that he was actually much prettier than she had imagined. However, he was indeed a country bumpkin, vulgar and ill-mannered.
Chen Siya was a very talkative person. After a while, she seized control of the conversation in her hands. Wu Anguo listened very seriously, because these were all things he had to learn and would come into contact with in the future.
However, he felt that the little girl was getting impatient and thought that she was tired of playing and wanted to go back. Wu Anguo persuaded her in a low voice, "Be good, Little Treasure. Big Brother will accompany you when he is done."
Xu Bao pouted but didn't say anything. She gave up her time to eat and came over, but her big brother told her not to make a fuss. She felt sad and silently turned around and left.
Chen Siya revealed an even more elegant smile.
Xu Bao left with his head lowered. Without even looking at the road, he ran into someone. There was only one sound. SHUT, damn it! A foreigner's glass cup was touched by Xu Bao, and the red wine under the blanket spilled onto his body.
Not far away, Wu Anguo heard the sound and was startled when he saw the little girl standing there. He quickly rushed over and interrupted Chen Siya, who was just talking about her excitement, making her feel a little awkward. However, when he saw Xu Bao's sorry state, a smile appeared on his face.
Look at that foreigner. Heavens, isn't that the famous smuggler Hans? He was known for his arrogant nature. He had tried to get to know him quite a few times, but he had always ignored her. Usually, Chen Siya did not like Hans.
When the foreigner who had just spoken with Chen Siya saw Hans' expression change, he too paled. "Heavens, it's him. I bet that the little girl will run away while crying later on!" A foreigner laughed.
