Ai Mei Zhen’s “I do” turned the atmosphere, which was about to solidify, into a large-scale melon-eating scene. At this time, Ai Mei Zhen’s mind went blank, she blushed and wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into. As for the relationship between Cheng Zhen Er and Zheng Yao Xian that she had just been thinking about, it also became unimportant.
Just now, Cheng Zhen Er didn’t confront Chen Han Wen for Zheng Yao Xian, but to persuade Chen Han Wen not to have any ideas about her.
Chen Han Wen, that was Chen Han Wen!
Since Lin Tao followed Chen Han Wen, her position in the Zhong Tong rose rapidly. She didn’t do anything, but her salary was still paid regularly. Nobody cared if she was late or left early.
Ai Mei Zhen also thought about such a life.
Even if she was a concubine, so what?
Chen Han Wen was a great hero. For a man like him, having three or four wives was not unusual.
“Cheng Zhen Er is not stupid. She reacted pretty quickly.”
Chen Han Wen deliberately glanced at Ai Mei Zhen, just to let Cheng Zhen Er use her as a shield. She successfully cleared her suspicion, while Chen Han Wen became a “left and right hugging” scumbag.
As for Ai Mei Zhen…Chen Han Wen didn’t even like Cheng Zhen Er, how could he like Ai Mei Zhen?
Seeing the crisis was over, Chen Han Wen no longer needed to pay attention to Ai Mei Zhen. He straightened his clothes and said to Ai Mei Zhen with a righteous tone, “Ai Mei Zhen, right? I’m a married man, please respect yourself!”
After saying that, Chen Han Wen turned and left, leaving Ai Mei Zhen standing there in a daze.
What…what was going on?
Zheng Yao Xian continued to strike while the iron was hot, continuing to pretend to launch an attack on Cheng Zhen Er: “Miss Cheng, how about having dinner together tonight?”
Cheng Zhen Er glanced at the Huashe Western Restaurant where Chen Han Wen walked in, pursed her lips and said: “No! There’s a disgusting person inside!”
Zheng Yao Xian glanced back and immediately knew what Cheng Zhen Er meant, and continued to say: “There’s another restaurant on the other side of the road called Rose Restaurant. We can have dinner there.”
Cheng Zhen Er continued to refuse: “No!”
“Oh, it’s been five years. Miss Cheng rejected me, and she still rejected me so decisively…”
Cheng Zhen Er ignored Zheng Yao Xian and pulled the reluctant Ai Mei Zhen away from Yunfeng Road. Zheng Yao Xian didn’t leave immediately, but pretended to be a street urchin and wandered to Huashe Western Restaurant. He saw Chen Han Wen talking to an old foreigner.
That was…Chennault?
Xu Zhong Yi appeared in front of Zheng Yao Xian, with a forced smile and said: “Zheng Commander, are you here for dinner, or are you here to supervise Commander Chen? It seems that according to your level, monitoring a commander would be breaking the rules of the family.”
Zheng Yao Xian glanced at Xu Zhong Yi and turned to leave.
Xu Zhong Yi was a major, while Zheng Yao Xian was a colonel. According to the level, Xu Zhong Yi shouldn’t talk to him like this, but Xu Zhong Yi was following Chen Han Wen, what could he do?
If he offended Xu Zhong Yi, it would be equivalent to offending Chen Han Wen.
With Chen Han Wen’s protective nature, could he let him have a good time?
…
Two flowers bloom, each showing their beauty.
Chennault saw Chen Han Wen and immediately excitedly went up to give Chen Han Wen a big hug. Then he happily said, “Chen, the phone call you made to me today is the best news I’ve heard since I came to the Republic of China.”
But Chen Han Wen said: “This is my day of disaster, Chennault… all the money I worked so hard to earn has gone back into your pockets.”
“No no no, you didn’t work so hard to earn the money, you earned it easily.”
Chennault held up one finger, “My dear Chen, you only took a week to snatch countless money from Wall Street. They say you’re a bandit from the East. I agree with that.”
“Bandit? You can say that.”
Chen Han Wen shrugged and said to Chennault: “Now, we can talk about the issue of benefits, Mr. Chennault. First of all, I want to make it clear that I’m not negotiating with you on behalf of the party state, I only represent myself.”
“Of course, it’s your benefit.”
Chennault agreed with this, and said to Chen Han Wen: “Chen, we’re old friends, so let’s just be straight to the point. There are no eternal enemies between nations, only eternal interests. Now we’re fighting together for the anti-fascist cause, but what if fascism fails? I’m afraid the current alliance will become an enemy.”
It was clear that Chennault was already considering the issue of post-war benefit allocation.
Chennault continued to say to Chen Han Wen: “Chen, no matter who you are, I only care about what kind of benefit you can bring to my country, the big tree behind me, and what price we need to pay. You are the Kuomintang or the Communist Party, as long as the benefits are negotiated, everything can be discussed.”
“I’m afraid the old man would be very angry if he heard what you said.”
Chen Han Wen calmly perfunctorily answered Chennault’s probe, and then said: “This time I can give up the land in Mexico, I need your support in exchange for the Indochina Peninsula, as well as investment rights in Australia.”
“Oh, my God!”
Chennault was stunned by Chen Han Wen’s appetite. He looked at Chen Han Wen and said in English: “Are you going to get rid of your fellow countrymen?”
Chen Han Wen shrugged and said: “He hasn’t brought me any benefits, and he wants to draw my blood. I can only protect myself. I think I’m more suitable for your financial interests than him.”
“That’s natural.”
Chennault nodded, and then said to Chen Han Wen: “Why did you choose Burma? Australia is more in your interest.”
“No, no, no, Australia is not my interest, it can only make money for me.”
Chen Han Wen pointed to the south, and said to Chennault: “My future is not based on the Kuomintang, nor on the Communist Party, but on seeking balance between them, including our relationship. We can be good partners, of course… under the premise of not infringing on common interests, Chennault, some things don’t need to be said too clearly, you know.”
With the words “you know”, Chennault fell silent.
Although he couldn’t access the top-secret information of the United States, he also knew that the United States had already begun to lay out its strategy for the post-war world.
Chennault had a good relationship with Marshall, the recently retired Chief of Staff of the US Army. They had discussed the situation of the future world, although it was not very clear, but it was obvious that it was opposed to the red empire in the north.
And Chen Han Wen had already seen this.
Terrifying!
Chennault was very lucky that he became friends with Chen Han Wen.
After thinking for a while, Chennault began to bargain: “Chen, only the land in Mexico cannot be used as an equivalent exchange condition.”
Chen Han Wen spread out his hands: “You have to eat a meal bite by bite. I want the Indochina Peninsula, I can’t swallow the whole Indochina Peninsula in one go, can I? If you agree, I’ll give you the land in Mexico, of course… I also need a $5 billion interest-free loan, after all, no matter how much money I have, it’s not as much as your national bank.”
Want the Indochina Peninsula and another $5 billion?
He didn’t need to report to his superiors, “Chen, your appetite is too big, this is a condition we can’t agree to.”
Chen Han Wen waved his hand and said directly: “Nothing is impossible. I’ve made my offer, and the rest is up to you. To tell you the truth, I have something in my hands, not to mention $5 billion, even $50 billion, you can take it out, such as penicillin, or… nylon.”
Chennault immediately objected: “Nylon is military supplies!”
“Not in the future.”
Chen Han Wen, however, was confident and said to Chennault: “$5 billion, penicillin’s sales rights in Europe and the United States as collateral, this is my only condition. As for penicillin… don’t even think about it! Go back and ask your bosses if they’re willing to do it.”
