Since they met Cai Yuanpei and Zong Yang's master at Qingliang Temple, the three of them have come and gone, often drinking tea together to discuss the truth. At this time, Cai Yuanpei was still a passionate young man and hated the rule of the Qing Dynasty. He believed that the strength of the country must change the system of the country.

He sympathized with Emperor Guangxu and believed that he was a promising emperor, and the culprit was Empress Dowager Cixi. This was consistent with his views. Lu Yongzhi believed that the greatest harm of the Qing Dynasty for four hundred years was the slavery of the Chinese, which was the greatest destruction of the Chinese, and this destruction was the most deadly.

This view aroused Cai Yuanpei's strong interest.

Later, Cai Yuanpei introduced several academic literati to join in. Once there were too many people, the Zen room was not suitable. Lu Yongzhi simply changed another unrented Shikumen house into a tea room, hired two servants, and purchased a batch of books to form a literary salon.

After a few days, Xiao Mali and Lu Yongzhi were soaked together every day. Lu Yongzhi felt that it was too troublesome for her to go back and forth sooner or later, so he asked her to live in the room upstairs next door and specially hired a Japanese maid to take care of her life.

Every day, the fragrance of five-spice tea eggs came from the next yard. Chef Lao Bao looked for Lu Yongzhi several times and said that the lady always treated five-spice eggs as food, which made her cooking skills unable to be displayed.

Finally, Maggie, who saw everything, couldn't help it.

That night, the two of them went to bed after washing up. After Yunyu, Maggie sighed and asked sideways, "Do you want to move over, but you can't speak?"

Lu Yongzhi slapped her on the butt and said, "Don't talk nonsense, I've been watching her as my little sister."

"Tsk, little sister? You're almost spoiled her, why didn't I feel you treat me like this?" Maggie pouted.

"Don't think too much. Are you busy in foreign shops every day? We are all idle, so we're together every day."

"Fall in love over time." Maggie muttered in a low voice, which was taught by Lu Yongzhi. Since the two of them had an intimate relationship, they once teased him, Lu Yongzhi explained the special meaning of this idiom. Maggie learned it once.

"I'm talking nonsense again, don't I share the same bed with you every day."

"I'm not talking about her, I'm talking about myself. When I think of you moving over, I feel empty and not a good feeling."

Maggie sighed.

"Hey, you, a strong woman in the business world, are even jealous. It really makes me look at you with admiration."

"I was always angry when I got what I got. Hey, will you still be with me when you get married?"

"Didn't you say that you have fallen in love over time? I can't give up on you." Lu Yongzhi's words were not perfunctory. It was because Maggie had too many tricks and was proactive and offensive. She couldn't even think of many tricks Lu Yongzhi had watched so many teaching movies.

She usually looks cold outside. Sometimes Lu Yongzhi accompanied her to socialize outside. Seeing that she looks very ladylike, she often gets distracted to the point of her night.

A lady during the day and a slut at night are probably people like Maggie.

Alas, if Maggie proposes to give up her title of Marquis and marry him, Lu Yongzhi will agree without hesitation. He will even become a British citizen for Maggie.

Maggie repeatedly proposed in front of him that she wanted to naturalize Lu Yongzhi through the Hong Kong Concession. She asked her lawyer that Lu Yongzhi could be granted the first naturalization of the situation. This is a special nationality protection given to the people of its overseas colonies by the British Empire. She received a British passport and enjoyed consular protection. However, it was still different from the social benefits enjoyed by British citizens.

"Isn't this the second-class citizen of your British Empire? I'm not stupid to let the Chinese do it and become a second-class citizen?"

Lu Yongzhi repeatedly rejected her like this.

"If you want to get a formal nationality, you have to get married." Maggie was also in a dilemma.

So, the two of them lived in a daze until Maggie felt the threat of Xiao Mali. She knew from the woman's consciousness that the brother-sister relationship Lu Yongzhi said was only temporary, which means that he did not understand women yet.

She had already noticed Xiao Mali's thoughts from Xiao Mali's vague hostility. She definitely wanted to marry the man around her. But she hadn't found a breakthrough yet. Just like her unintentional act, the layer of paper was broken with a stab.

When Maggie felt heartbroken when she thought of Lu Yongzhi and Xiao Mali finally getting together in a grand wedding.

François ran for a few days and finally obtained a business license from the French Industrial Department. He was preparing to go to Hong Kong and Guangzhou to see the business conditions there, and recruit people by the way.

The first phase of the project on Maggie's side has been completed. Originally, according to Lu Yongzhi's opinion, it would be possible to raise funds and continue to buy land and develop. Maggie insisted on collecting rent, but only sold a small part to the directors of the French and British Industrial Department. This is to maintain the relationship. Even so, the book funds had a balance of more than 300,000 yuan.

In this way, Maggie spent more than 100,000 to get two pieces of land.

Maggie settled the bill and when the second phase ended, the Machinery Import Foreign Company could operate normally, but she was still not optimistic about this project.

That morning, before Lu Yongzhi went out to exercise, Du Yuesheng came.

Since he went to work in the French Concession Police Station and was determined to do some results, he was very busy all day and hadn't seen anyone for a long time.

Now Du Yuesheng is wearing a police uniform that is not very suitable, with a rubber stick hanging on the belt around his waist and a high-tube horse boots on his feet. His whole body is clean and clean. It looks like he is no longer the same as the fruit moon in the past.

After Lu Yongzhi heard that he had received his first month's salary, he signed up for a literacy class and praised him greatly.

"Mr. Lu, when he was on duty on the street last night, a very stylish Chinese comprador at the American Qichang Foreign Company was drunk and drunk on the street. I called a carriage to send him back. From him, I heard that Qichang Foreign Company was preparing to acquire land and repair the pier in Yangshupu. I didn't know whether it was true or not, so I came to tell the gentleman."

American Qichang Foreign Company, the earliest American foreign company to enter the British and American concession, is also the largest. Later, it entered the ship transportation industry and built its own special dock on Shanghai, and it was completely possible to build a warehouse.

The location of Yangshupu is relatively remote, and the concession has not yet extended there. If you want to buy it now, the land price will definitely be cheap.

But where will Yangshupu be located in such a large place? How many acres of land will be expropriated?

"Yuesheng, this news is very important. This is how many business opportunities are discovered. You can go back to work first, and I'll learn about it later."

Lu Yongzhi remembered that Tony, an American whom he could meet every morning and morning exercise, was from Qichang Foreign Company. He just didn’t know what he did at Qichang Foreign Company. How should he confirm the news from him?
