At this time, the maid's voice interrupted the old couple's loving time: "Master, Madam, Master Lin is here!"

The two of them looked happy, and when they looked up and saw Lin Hongfei, they became even more happy.

"Hongfei, when did you come back?"

"Sit down quickly, sit down quickly, Xiaoyu, make tea quickly!"

"Why did you take so many things? I won't do this next time!"

Lin Hongfei laughed: "They are all local specialties, just for you two to have a taste!"

After saying that, the three of them took their seats. Chen Fengchang looked Lin Hongfei up and down and said with satisfaction: "Not bad, very energetic!"

"It smells like a soldier!"

"It seems that you have worked hard in the past six months at the military academy!"

Lin Hongfei thought to himself that he didn't want to work hard, but it was a pity that the instructors didn't do it. After all, his performance was directly related to their salary.

The three chatted for a while, and Chen Fengchang reminded: "Hongfei, have you visited Deputy Chief Qian?"

Lin Hongfei shook his head: "Not yet, I plan to visit the old man tonight."

"Okay, the old man hasn't gone out much recently. He will definitely be at home tonight!" Chen Fengchang was talking when a young figure walked in.

Lin Hongfei subconsciously turned his head and took a look, only to see a handsome young man of sixteen or seventeen years old walking in with a cold breath, his coat still covered with a layer of snowflakes.

"It's so cold today!"

"The snow on the ground is too thick!"

"Sister Xiaoyu, help me hang up my coat!"

"Hey, there are guests!"

The handsome young man showed a hint of surprise when he saw Lin Hongfei.

At this time, Lin Hongfei had already guessed the identity of this young man. Chen Jiaming, Chen Fengchang's only son, is currently attending a middle school in Yanjing and will go to college in two years.

Lin Hongfei and Chen Jiaming had never met before, mainly because the weather in Beijing was too hot at that time, and Chen Jiaming went to his grandma's house in Chengde to escape the summer heat.

Chen Qishi smiled and said: "Jiaming, why don't you come over and meet your brother Hongfei!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Jiaming was a little surprised and said: "You are Brother Hongfei, I heard my mother talking about you!"

"Hello Jiaming!"

Lin Hongfei greeted with a smile.

Chen Jiaming is an outgoing and talkative person. He walked up to Lin Hongfei and asked like a curious baby: "Brother Hongfei, what is life like in the military academy?"

"Are you tired?"

"Can I shoot?"

"Can I have sex?"

"Is there a horse I can ride..."

Lin Hongfei was not bothered and answered one by one. Although it was his first meeting, his first impression of this little brother was quite good.

At this time, Lin Hongfei asked: "Jiaming, what are you going to study in college in the future?"

When Chen Jiaming heard this, he said with some ambition: "I plan to study medicine abroad!"

"Why?"

"Brother Hongfei, you don't know. On my way from the capital to Chengde this summer, I saw a lot of corpses that died of epidemics, including many children. How pitiful!"

"So, I plan to go to Japan to study medicine. When I return from my studies in the future, I will be able to treat many, many patients!" Although Chen Jiaming comes from a wealthy and gentry family, he is different from those playboys in that he has a very rare compassion.

Lin Hongfei nodded appreciatively: "That's good. When you come back from your studies, if you want to open a hospital, I will invest in it for you."

Chen Fengchang said from the side: "Whatever you invest in, save all your money. You haven't even built a family yet. The most important thing is to save more money to marry a wife!"

At this time, Mrs. Chen Qi seemed to have thought of something. She immediately whispered a few words to Chen Fengchang. Chen Fengchang's eyes lit up and he immediately smiled:

"I would have forgotten it if you didn't tell me!"

"Hongfei, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will have a New Year's dance at the Six Nations Hotel in the next two days. There will be many girls your age going there."

"I want an invitation for you. Remember to go there, dress handsomely, and see if you can win over any rich girl!"

"While Deputy Chief Qian and I are still in office and still have some dignity to act as matchmakers, you should get married and start a family as soon as possible!"

"Ah, this..."

Lin Hongfei was stunned for a moment, thinking that even after arriving in the Republic of China, he still couldn't do without the word urging marriage.

Chen Jiaming on the side said excitedly: "If there is a Western-style wedding, I want to be the best man!"

Lin Hongfei stayed at Chen's house for a long time. He originally planned to go back to the car factory at noon, but Chen Fengchang still stayed for lunch.

Poor Feng Youde, the leader of the Qinglong Gang, could only eat stick dregs porridge and steamed buns and pickles with Old Liu Tou in the concierge to satisfy his hunger.

If others saw it, their jaws would definitely drop. What kind of big shot must this be to make Feng Youde and Master Feng look like a piece of shit?

In the afternoon, Lin Hongfei, who returned to the car factory, was not idle. He took out a piece of paper and wrote several invitations in succession, inviting some of his acquaintances of the same age to have a drink in Fujude tomorrow night.

I rarely come back once in a while, and after finally returning to the capital, I naturally have to keep in touch with these old acquaintances.

Otherwise, as time goes by, no matter how close the relationship was at first, it will become cold.

Calling Xiangzi who was clearing snow in the front yard, Lin Hongfei rewarded him with a big gift and asked Xiangzi to deliver these invitations to his door.

Xiangzi was very happy. After sending a few invitations, he would be able to make a living. This was much more affordable than pulling a cart.

"Thank you, boss. Don't worry, I will definitely deliver it. I'm sure it won't go wrong!" Xiangzi bowed and trotted out of the gate.

Jimu Chamber of Commerce

In the warm bungalow, a woman in kimono placed two cups of hot tea on the coffee table and then exited carefully.

On the sofas on both sides of the coffee table, a senior and a young boy sat opposite each other. Yuya Fujiwara, who was already in his fifties, stretched out his hand to signal Chuta Fujiwara opposite him to drink tea.

Fujiwara Chuta lowered his head, then took a sip of hot tea. Then he put down the tea cup and said with a gloomy expression:

"Uncle, I'm sorry, brother Zhengyi's whereabouts are still not found!"

Opposite him, Fujiwara Yuya looked calm and seemed not to care about this matter. Only the sadness that flashed quickly in his eyes could reveal his true emotions.

Fujiwara Yuya said slowly: "It doesn't matter. In fact, two months ago, I was already mentally prepared when Shoichi failed to return to the meeting place on time."

"Shoichi dedicated his life to the cause of the Emperor. This is something to be proud of!"

Speaking of this, Fujiwara Yuya looked at Fujiwara Chuta and said with a hint of apology: "Chuta, originally you were supposed to go to Qingcheng to take charge of the family dyeing factory."

"But Zhengyi's incident made you come to the capital and run around in the wild to investigate."

"Thank you for your hard work these days!"

Fujiwara Chuta immediately got up from the sofa, and then knelt on the ground: "Uncle, please don't say that. Since childhood, my brother Shoichi and I grew up together, and I should do these things!"

"Don't worry, I will keep looking for Brother Shoichi's whereabouts!" Fujiwara Chuta said firmly.

Looking at his nephew's appearance, a touch of warmth flowed through Fujiwara Yuya's sad heart. He helped Fujiwara Chuta stand up and patted Fujiwara Chuta's shoulder kindly.

The two sat down again, and Fujiwara Yuya took out an invitation and handed it to Fujiwara Chuta: "Chongta, this is an invitation to the New Year's Ball held by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of China. The venue is the Rikoku Hotel."

"I haven't been feeling well lately, so I won't be attending!"

"Take the invitation and come forward for me."

"Let the people of the Republic of China see the grace of our young generation in Japan!"

"We must not lose to those so-called handsome young people in the Republic of China!"

Fujiwara Chuta took the invitation with both hands and said confidently: "Don't worry, uncle!"
