The color is deep. The thunderstorm just now has stopped. The air is filled with fresh views. The cumulonimbus clouds have also dissipated, and the cold moon has cast a faint light on the earth, reflecting the road surface that has been washed very clean by the heavy rain.

The street is deserted and there is no one to see, only the shadows of the street lamp poles are reflected alone under the dim street lights. Moreover, due to the power plant's power supply restrictions, half of the street lights are out, making this secluded street more silent.

After a long time, a sound of horse hooves broke the silence of this secluded street. A four-wheeled carriage with the American Chamber of Commerce badge drove into the street, then turned, entered an alley, and quickly stopped. The two American foreign horses who were pulling the car were snorting impatiently, as if urging the passengers in the carriage to get off the car quickly.

The door of the car was pushed open from the inside, and a young man got out of the car was Xiong Chengji, a party secretary at the United Front, and he is now a senior adviser to the Senate.

After getting off the car, Xiong Chengji stood beside the car and thanked the American who was still sitting in the car.

"Mr. Mei Rui. Thank you for sending me back. It is difficult to walk in this alley, and your carriage is not easy to turn around. I just need to walk back the remaining road by myself. Please go back now. Regarding the matter of Yanchang Oilfield in Shaanxi, it has basically been agreed upon. The rest is to wait for the funds to be in place. Technical experts have come to China. The central government of our country attaches great importance to the matter of Yanchang Oilfield in Shaanxi and will definitely assist with it. As for the transportation of refined oil, you don't have to worry. The Longhai Railway will build a branch line, and oil can be transported by train in the future."

"I'm very happy to cooperate with you, Mr. Xiong. Today's banquet is very successful. I believe that this is the beginning of a good cooperation between Texaco Petroleum Corporation and your industrialists. In the future, we will further discuss the development of your oil industry. In my opinion, your country has a vast territory and the oil reserves must be very amazing. Some people say that your country may be a poor country, but I think that's because of insufficient exploration. As long as your central government can conduct unified regulations and exploration, I believe that your country's oil mining industry will make great progress. Moreover, here at Mr. Xiong, I have seen a very valuable pragmatic attitude and simple style in your country's political circle. This can be seen from your palace. If it weren't for sending you back, it would be hard for me to believe that an important figure in Congress actually rented a place that was almost slums. If all the politicians in your country are like you, then your country will definitely rise to a world power.

The American businessman sitting in the carriage smiled and said goodbye to Xiong Chengji, then instructed the coachman to turn the front of the car and drive away from the secluded alley.

Xiong Chengji turned around and walked towards the depths of the alley. The innermost part of his apartment was a courtyard house. Although it was not a slum area as Mei Rui described, it was indeed not a high-end place. Moreover, the courtyard house was shared by him with several foreign students who came to Beijing to study.

In the past, Zhao Bei heard people talk about the shabby place where Xiong Chengji lived. He wanted to pay for a small courtyard near Garden Hutong, but Xiong Chengji refused because Xiong Chengji was unwilling to accept the president, favors, and short-speaking people and rude people. Xiong Chengji still understood this principle. As a senior adviser to Congress, his duty is to supervise the work of the central government. Naturally, he cannot have too close personal relationships with officials in the government. Although Zhao Bei is his close friend, a gentleman's friendship is as calm as water. If this kind of friendship is based on the interests established, it would be a little bit of a villain.

What's more, Xiong Chengji was very happy to live with those young students, which reminded him of the time when he instigated a revolution in the new army. The scholarly businessman was crazy, ignorant of the world, and there was no class barrier. Compared with the intriguing official social engagements, this small courtyard house is the spiritual paradise of this era.

According to the original plan, Xiong Cheng basically planned to go to Peking University with those young students to attend the association, and by the way, he told the "Tire Green League" about the past and after the Anqing New Army Uprising. However, in the afternoon, Senate Speaker Li Yuanhong sent a housekeeper to ask Xiong Chengji to attend the evening banquet with American businessmen for him, but Xiong Chengji did not go to the association.

It was late at night, and the young students who participated in the association must have returned. Xiong Chengji speeded up and rushed to the courtyard where he rented it. When he got closer, he saw a car parked in the alley outside the courtyard gate, which almost completely blocked the traffic in the alley. This made Xiong Chengji feel quite strange. He didn't know who parked the car here, so he hurried into the courtyard.

Before those young students could sleep, they sat in one of them, and there was one standing at the door. When they saw Xiong Chengji come back, they hurriedly met him.

"Brother Xiong, Mr. President has sent an adjutant to pick you up to the Presidential Palace." The man said, and raised his arm and pointed at the room.

"The President called me over? Now?"

Xiong Chengji was even more surprised. At this time, he also understood the origin of the poison in the sedan at the entrance of the yard. So he looked into the house and saw someone walking out of the house, but he was not a stranger, but Major Yuguang, the adjutant of the attendant's room. He was the son of Liu Rongting, the commander of Yunnan southern Yunnan. He has been serving as the sub-name in the attendant's room for more than two years and is highly valued by the president. "Mr. Xiong, the president asked me to invite you over."6 Yuguang walked to Xiong Chengji, stood attentively and saluted, and showed the orders from the attendant's room.

Xiong Chengji nodded and didn't ask much. He followed 6 Yuguang out of the courtyard and got into the car. Because the alley was too narrow, he could not turn around, so he had to reverse all the way out of the alley, then turn the front of the car and go straight to the Presidential Palace.

After entering the Presidential Palace, Yu Guang drove Xiong Chengji all the way to the Tongshun Hall warning area, then stopped the car, took Xiong Chengji into the small building with his pass, rushed to the small conference room on the second floor, and then stepped down and left Xiong Chengji in the conference room.

There were already a few people sitting in the conference room. Zhao Bei was sitting behind the desk and pointing to the map with Zhan Tianzuo and discussing in a low voice. As for the people on the sand, they were basically Zhan Tianyou's assistants. Seeing Xiong Chengji enter the house, the few people hurriedly got up and greeted him.

Zhao Bei turned his head and glanced, and said, "Weigen, I told you that it is impossible to set up a telephone pole in the place where you live. If the telephone pole cannot be installed, you cannot install the telephone number. If you cannot install the telephone number, I can't find your people. Just now, Major 6 told me that he went to your house first. When he asked, he knew that you had gone to the American Chamber of Commerce. So he drove to the American Chamber of Commerce again. As a result, the banquet was disbanded and you had already taken the carriage back. So he hurriedly turned around and chased you. Unexpectedly, he missed your carriage on the way, and ran to you instead. Look, this is such a delay.

You, it’s better to move as soon as possible. If it really doesn’t work, just move to Nanyuan and live at the aviation base

Xiong Chengji was a little embarrassed and said with a wry smile: "Maybe Major 6 is not going along the same path. When Mr. Merry sent me back, we went to the Telegraph Office, sent a telegram from the US General Corporation, and urged technical experts to set off for China earlier. By the way, it's late at night now, I wonder what the President is asking for me?"

Zhao Bei pointed to the people on the sand, then pointed to Zhan Tianyou standing beside him, and said, "Didn't you say last time that some comrades couldn't find anything after retirement, and wanted to ask me to help them find an errand? Now, this time, when Zhan Gong came back, he was planning to recruit a group of foremen, asking that it would be best if he had worked in the army, and he could endure hardships and obey discipline. I remembered you

“Just for this?

Xiong Chengji was a little strange. He summoned him to the Presidential Office Commander's Hall overnight for these trivial matters. This was not like Zhao Bei's style. Although Zhao Bei had to do something personally, it was not as detailed as this level.

After looking at the engineering and technical personnel sitting on the sand, Xiong Chengji suddenly understood why Zhao Bei said that. The crowds here are so irrelevant, and it is indeed not a place to talk about confidentiality. Zhao Bei asked him to come late at night, definitely not for a few. The retired veterans who retired due to injuries cannot find a job, so they can't say in front of others, "It's not convenient to speak here." Only because of respect for Zhan Tianyou and others, Zhao Bei said this on purpose.

After understanding Zhao Bei's meaning, Xiong Chengji nodded and said, "Those robes were all retired due to injuries. Although the injuries were not serious, their legs and feet were not quick enough. I just didn't know if Zhan Gong was willing to accept it. In fact, I had greeted him through the Military Service Department of the 6th Army Department a few days ago. Their jobs have already been settled and they are all looking at the gates in the imitation weaving factory."

"It is not a good job to look at the gate. It is more suitable for soldiers to open a frontier in the northwest. Retired from the army with injuries for the sake of revolution. This is the hero of the country. How could Mr. Zhan refuse them?"

Zhao Bei looked at Zhan Tianyou with a smile. Seeing that the other party nodded repeatedly, but obviously he did not understand that this was just a trick that the president and Xiong Chengji were necessary. He even asked seriously about the retired soldiers where they were injured so that they could arrange their jobs.

This talk took half an hour. Then Zhan Tianyou agreed to arrange work for the veterans, and then said goodbye to the president and left with his assistants.

After the railway engineering experts left, Zhao Bei and Xiong Chengji got to the point.

"Wei Gen, please come here now. I do have important things to discuss with you."

After saying that, Zhao Bei took out a few pieces of paper from his pocket and handed it to Xiong Chengji.

Xiong Chengji took the paper and looked at it. There were several confessions, or confessions. When he looked at the signature, he was actually several members of Congress from the United Front. Judging from the content of the dispute, these people had participated in the conspiracy and cege on the Outer Mongolia storm some time ago. They all expose the conspiracy of the National Alliance to try to impeach the president in tears in these disputes.

It can be seen from the lines that these members of Congress have recognized their serious mistakes, so they intend to confess to the president and exchange their reforms for the president's forgiveness.

"What does this mean? The Chairman intends to fire them?"
