Chapter 589 Farewell
After the Spring Festival holiday, and after helping Max take his widow and children back to Shanghai to settle down, Ye Luo set off again and began a new round of business planning.
There are many major events that will happen this year, especially the September 18th Incident, which will completely change Sino-Japanese relations and the pattern of the military, political, and business circles in the north.
Therefore, Ye Luo has begun to send people to the north to stabilize the situation, and at the same time slowly withdraw the companies and industries invested by Ye from the three northeastern provinces.
It's not that he doesn't want to take root in the north, but Zhang Hanqing really doesn't listen to advice.
Every time Ye Luo talked to him on the phone, he always had various reasons to shirk. In the end, Ye Luo was so sad that he just let him go.
Since the loss of the north will become a fact, we can only do our best to stop the loss.
After the New Year, Ye Luo thought again and again, and finally decided to let Xiao Aqiao go north to be the one who coordinates the overall situation.
Since Ye Qingqing went to the United States to help Lin Yuan, the core assets of Ye's investment in the north have been controlled by Meng Xiaodong, but Meng Xiaodong does not know how to do business and can only rely on Chen Youde for assistance.
Liu Xuenong's affairs made Ye Luo a little "once bitten by a snake, ten years afraid of the rope", so he sent the most trusted people to lead each core industry, and then let those backbones who stood out from Ye's investment talent plan to assist.
This day, mid-March, Shanghai Railway Station.
Ye's convoy cleared the passengers near the platform in advance so that Xiao Aqiao could board the train safely.
Recently, there have been frequent gun battles near the railway station, and many important military and political figures of the Kuomintang have been assassinated. Some people say that the principal imprisoned Hu Hanmin and aroused public anger, and some old Kuomintang members hired killers to intimidate the principal.
There are also claims that after the end of the Central Plains War, the principal cleaned up the territory of those warlords and turned his spearhead to the underground organization. Under rounds of cruel and bloody "encirclement and suppression", they also began to fight back against the Kuomintang.
These ghosts hidden in the dark crazily attacked the top leaders of the Kuomintang to express their determination to oppose the principal.
Originally, Ye Luo was on good terms with Zhang Hanqing, and was highly valued by the principal. He also secretly saved people from the underground organization many times and had many contacts with them.
Such people are often easily regarded as "three-surnamed family slaves" and are not welcomed.
Ye Luo is a special case. He has a good reputation in all walks of life. The only time he was criticized was when he held a charity dinner and was thought to be raising military funds for the principal under the guise of charity.
Now the truth is out. All the money really went to the disaster area in the north. The charitable deeds done by the Ye Charity Foundation are countless and well-known in the north.
Ye Luo went to the United States with capital and hit the US stock market and capitalists hard, making the Chinese proud.
Until now, Ye Luo has the title of "the first businessman in the Republic of China", which can be said to be perfect and impeccable.
Even so, forcibly blocking the train station for his family and delaying many people's travel, there are still not many complaints and dissatisfaction.
In Shanghai, being able to work in Ye Investment is a very honorable thing, and it is worth talking about everywhere.
Second Young Master, you are the god of Shanghai!
At this time, Ye Luo was pulling Xiao Aqiao towards the train. Along the way, you could see some banners and slogans. Many local progressive students came to see them off.
"This is the first time I've seen such a scene." Xiao Aqiao, holding the one-and-a-half-year-old Ye Zhuohua, who was still a little shaky when walking, turned her head and smiled at Ye Luo.
"I heard that you were going to the north to do charity, and they all came to see you off spontaneously." Ye Luo also smiled and gently scratched her nose with his hand, "You are already the famous vice president of Ye Investment, don't always put yourself in the position of the proprietress of Fengming Building."
"I know, but I have been in Fengming Building for so many years, and then I helped you run a dance hall, I can't make the transition for a while." Xiao Aqiao said, and her nose was a little sour.
Once upon a time, she was just a little girl who didn't have enough food at Shilipu Wharf and might be sold to a brothel soon.
It was Ye Luo, who was only twelve years old at the time, who bought her with 100 yuan, gave her Fengming Building, then the Ye family dance business, and then countless industries.
As he said, he used his own strength to make himself the richest woman in Shanghai, no one else!
Now, she also has their child, officially entered the gate of the Ye family, became the second concubine recognized by everyone, and then had the reputation of "female bodhisattva", and even someone in the north made a golden statue of her and worshipped it in the temple!
It was like a dream, and it made people sigh.
"Okay, okay, you are already 29 years old, and you are still crying, how can you be like Zhuohua, the little devil! Xiuzhu and the others are still watching."
Ye Luo reached out to help Xiao Aqiao wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and kissed her eyes and nose. The romantic move caused many onlookers to exclaim.
The reporters in the crowd immediately pressed the shutter and took pictures of this classic farewell scene.
"Yes!" Xiao Aqiao nodded heavily, then leaned over and picked up Ye Zhuohua, saying affectionately, "Zhuohua, call me mother."
"Mother~" Ye Zhuohua called out obediently, and Xiao Aqiao's heart melted.
"When I go to the north, Qiao'er's safety is all entrusted to you, brother Chen Zhen." Ye Luo reached out and patted Chen Zhen.
Since marrying Guangzi, Chen Zhen has gradually become less extreme, and has successfully avoided the fate of dying in Hongkou Dojo for Jingwumen.
Compared with the active and outgoing Huo Tingen, Chen Zhen is taciturn, but he is extremely reliable. In less than two years, he has become the real number one in Ye Sports, and his prestige in the company has long surpassed Huo Tingen.
He has been in charge of the fleet of the Ye's Charity Foundation, and there are many bases for Ye's Sports in the north. Therefore, during this trip, Ye Luo arranged for him to take a group of elite soldiers from the Tax Police Corps to protect little Ah Qiao as she went north.
This is also the first time the tax police regiment has been on a mission. The commander of the regiment, Wen Yingxing, attaches great importance to it and equips the one hundred soldiers who go on the mission with the best weapons and equipment, and will not let little Aqiao lose a hair.
"Second Young Master, don't worry. Anyone who wants to hurt my sister-in-law will have to step over my body." Chen Zhen rarely showed his true feelings and said a long sentence, which surprised Ding Li and Ma Yongzhen on the side.
"Baby Qiao'er, after you go to the north, you can exchange Xiaodong back, and I will start arranging for her to tour in the United States, um. Let Mei Ying and Ah Ruan accompany her." Ye Luo reminded, "Also, anything You can listen to Chen Youde's opinion first, of course, if he has different intentions."
Little Ah Qiao, who had just been calming down her emotions, said calmly: "Brother Luo, I know about this kind of thing."
Looking at her, Ye Luo suddenly remembered that Xiao Aqiao was a ruthless woman who dared to kill bandits and burn cigarettes even when she was about to give birth. She was already familiar with this kind of thing.
"That's good, have a nice trip. I'll wait for you to come back in Shanghai."
Ye Luo finally hugged her and kissed her hard several times, regardless of whether it was in public.
Another exclamation.
"Um, um——Brother Luo~" Xiao Aqiao also let go and responded to him with forgetfulness.
There were various applauses from the crowd. What they saw at this moment was beautiful and sincere love. Although this kind of passionate kissing in the street was still too forward in the Republic of China and made countless female students blush, this scene also became a symbol for many people in the future. A classic that will never be forgotten in my mind.
Ma Jue, who was mixed in the crowd, watched little Aqiao slowly get into the car. The rest of the Ye family rushed up to surround Ye Luo, blocking her sight. Only then did she realize that her palms were red.
The crowds were surging and the voices were boiling, but she seemed to be outside the world. (End of chapter)
