Ning Zhiheng was also quite helpless. He said with a wry smile, "I dare not take this official position. If I do, I will lose all my wealth!"

This remark made Huang Xianzheng chuckle to himself!

The two of them were naturally in a relaxed mood after discussing the important matter. Huang Xianzheng noticed that dinner time had passed and knew that Madam Huang had been waiting outside for a long time, so he quickly called Ning Zhiheng out of the study.

Upon arriving at the restaurant, Madam Huang was standing guard by the table. Although she was domineering at home, she knew what was important and knew that Huang Xianzheng and Ning Zhiheng must be discussing important matters in the study, so she stood guard outside without disturbing them.

Seeing the two men come out, she quickly ordered the servants to serve the dishes. She turned around and glared at Huang Xianzheng with some annoyance. Huang Xianzheng quickly smiled apologetically and said, "I was talking to Zhiheng about some business and forgot the time. I hope you won't be offended, Madam!"

After saying this, he repeatedly bowed and apologized. Ning Zhiheng, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but find it amusing. He turned to Madam Huang and asked, "Madam, why haven't I seen Guisheng?"

Huang Xianzheng and his wife have a son named Huang Guisheng, who is only sixteen years old this year. Ning Zhiheng also prepared a gift for him, but he has not seen him since he came in today. Now it is dinner time, but he still has not seen him, which makes him feel a little strange.

Huang Xianzheng waved his hand and laughed, "This child has been studying in Wuhan for half a year, and he has been giving speeches and participating in demonstrations with his classmates every day, causing trouble. Besides, Wuhan is no longer safe. We might as well send him to Changsha, to his uncle's house, so that we don't have to worry about him!"

The brother-in-law Huang Xianzheng mentioned is naturally Peng Ying, a bigwig in the Kuomintang, who is currently living in Changsha.

The banquet was quickly set out, and the three people took their seats as host and guest and began to eat.

Ning Zhiheng spoke first: "It is indeed the Chief's thoughtfulness to send Guisheng away in advance. Wuhan is no longer safe. This battle between our army and the Japanese army will inevitably be extremely fierce, and its scale will not be less than that of the Battle of Shanghai. Guns and cannons have no eyes, and the outcome is unpredictable. We should indeed make more preparations!"

Huang Xianzheng was also filled with emotion at this moment, and said to Ning Zhiheng: "To be honest, your teacher was farsighted, purchasing properties in Chongqing early on. However, I was too optimistic about the war situation. I had some properties in Wuhan and Changsha back then, but now I am preparing to sell the properties in Wuhan. I wonder if I will do the same in Changsha?"

Upon hearing this, Madam Huang's eyes lit up, and she asked Ning Zhiheng, "Zhiheng, your department head said that your whole family moved to Chongqing and lives with your teacher?"

Ning Zhiheng nodded and said, "Yes, at that time, the teacher believed that a war between China and Japan was inevitable. The two sides were vastly different in strength, and a large amount of territory would be lost in the early stages of the war. That's why he went to Chongqing to buy property. Of course, I followed the teacher's arrangement and moved my family from Hangzhou to Chongqing. Fortunately, we left in time and escaped the disaster in Hangzhou!"

Mr. and Mrs. Huang Xianzheng were also quite relieved for Ning Zhiheng. Huang Xianzheng said regretfully, "Your teacher's family moved to Chongqing with the Central Military Academy half a month ago. It's a pity you came too late, otherwise you could have met your teacher and student."

At this point, he sighed again and said, "Land prices in Chongqing are skyrocketing. Unfortunately, I wasn't prepared. I never imagined that I, Huang Xianzheng, who has been so clever all my life, would be less clever than He Fengzi for a moment. It's infuriating!"

Madam Huang rolled her eyes at him and casually said, "Your cleverness is just petty cleverness, while Old He's is true wisdom!"

The three men burst into laughter, and Ning Zhiheng quickly continued, "Actually, there's no need to worry, Chief. My father and my teacher also purchased two blocks in Chongqing and built several high-end residences there with excellent security. They are spacious and comfortable, and even have independent air-raid shelters, so security is guaranteed. Most of these residences were given to my teacher and several of his classmates and colleagues. I had already sent a telegram to my father, asking him to reserve one for you. However, the war situation wasn't as dire back then, and I didn't know if we would need it, so I didn't tell you directly, Chief!"

"What!" Huang Xianzheng and his wife exclaimed in surprise. They never expected that Ning Zhiheng's family was so wealthy. To own two city blocks in Chongqing was truly an enormous business.

Most importantly, Ning Zhiheng had already prepared a house for his family, which was such an unexpected gift!
