Chapter 355: First Meeting with Xing Zhuowen
Tang Shuo laughed awkwardly twice, but didn't know what to say.
His biggest headache right now is his emotional problems, but he doesn't know how to deal with this matter, so he plays dumb most of the time.
Seeing Tang Shuo's wry smile, Su Ran continued to ask, "Are you really going to England?"
"Yeah." Tang Shuo nodded and said, "Even if this incident hadn't happened, I would still be going to England. Zhang Jingxin and Yang Chen have already gone there. I'll rush over when the opportunity is right."
Tang Shuo had introduced the luxury brand to Su Ran, and Su Ran had even given him a lot of advice, so the other party was fully aware of this.
"Be careful." Su Ran said with a worried look on his face: "Even for Chu Xia, me, and the baby in my belly, you can't take any risks!"
When Chuxia came over, Su Ran got to know Chuxia's mother a little bit.
Chuxia's mother is the youngest princess in the royal family and rarely appears in the public eye.
However, this does not mean that the other party is not important to the royal family. In fact, as a direct relative of the royal family, the other party has always been quite favored.
However, in the information released by the royal family, the princess named Louise has always appeared to be unmarried, and the existence of Chu Xia has been completely concealed.
As for the royal family's purpose, it is nothing more than to use Louise's identity as a bargaining chip, waiting for some wealthy nobles who need this title to come and propose marriage.
In other words, Tang Shuo not only had to deal with matters concerning the royal family, but also had to face the possibility that some people who coveted Louise herself would come out to obstruct him.
It is easy to imagine how difficult it would be for Tang Shuo to marry such a princess.
"Don't worry. I know what to do." Tang Shuo patted Su Ran's shoulder and said with a smile, "Get some rest."
Su Ran nodded and lay down next to Tang Shuo.
…
After spending Christmas with Xiao Chuxia as planned, Tang Shuo received a mysterious invitation.
The invitation letter was sent by Tan Zhuojun. There were no polite words on it, only the time and address of the appointment were clearly stated.
When they met in Mingzhu, Tan Zhuojun had already told all his plans, but Tang Shuo did not rashly agree to the other party at that time, and Tan Zhuojun himself did not urge him.
In fact, although Tang Shuo also wanted to do this, he was hesitant because there were too many things involved.
It shouldn't be difficult for him to plan to kill Xing Zhuowen. He could even find out the other party's movements and then find Jesus to take action, but he had to consider what would happen after Xing Zhuowen died.
Although Tan Zhuojun said that he could help cover up, how could Tang Shuo believe his verbal promise?
After thinking about it carefully, Tang Shuo finally decided to attend the banquet to see what Tan Zhuojun was up to.
The address on the invitation letter was an ordinary hotel in the city. Far from being luxurious, the hotel even looked very shabby from the outside.
When Tang Shuo arrived, the parking lot in front of the hotel was almost full. He finally found an empty parking space, drove the car in, and then walked in immediately.
After handing the invitation to the waiter at the door and confirming that it was correct, Tang Shuo was allowed in.
Soon Tang Shuo discovered the special thing about the hotel. This special thing was not that there was a different world inside the hotel, but the people inside!
Tang Shuo stood at the door and took a look. Judging from the way everyone walked and spoke, everyone in the hotel should be a soldier, even the hotel waiters.
If he guessed correctly, Tan Zhuojun should have invited him to attend an internal military gathering.
"Tang Shuo!" Tan Zhuojun waved while standing at the entrance of the corridor.
Tang Shuo smiled at Tan Zhuojun, walked up and asked, "What's going on?"
"I thought you weren't coming, so I was about to give you a call." Tan Zhuojun approached Tang Shuo and put his arm around his shoulders, introducing him. "This is an internal military gathering that's been held for many years. I just happened to have two spots this time, so I invited you to come and take a look."
Tang Shuo frowned and asked, "This doesn't seem to have anything to do with me!"
"How can it be okay?" Tan Zhuojun asked with a smile, "You were a soldier before, right?"
"That's true." Tang Shuo nodded.
He knew in his heart that Tan Zhuojun's purpose was not that simple, but he did not say anything in public. Besides, he was here now, and no matter what this guy's purpose was, it would be clear later.
Tan Zhuojun pulled Tang Shuo and said, "Come on, let's go in first. I'll introduce you to some interesting friends."
Just as Tang Shuo was about to follow Tan Zhuojun in, there was a very loud noise suddenly coming from the door. Tang Shuo stopped and turned his gaze over.
I saw a few young people walking in from the door with smiles on their faces, and they kept chatting with the people around them.
The young man walking in front was probably less than 30 years old. He wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on his handsome face, and looked elegant and outstanding.
Seeing that Tang Shuo hadn't caught up, Tan Zhuojun stopped and looked in the direction Tang Shuo was looking. Then he smiled and said to Tang Shuo, "You don't know him, do you?"
Tang Shuo shook his head instinctively. His rank in the army was not low before, but because of the special nature of the team, he had no contact with people from the outside world.
Even some military district meetings were always attended by Yu Haoran, so he didn't know much about these things.
"He is Xing Zhuowen. He has been carrying out the reform of 037 during this period. The news has reached the ears of some bigwigs. He is considered a celebrity." After Tan Zhuojun introduced him, he stared at Tang Shuo's cheek, wanting to see any changes in him.
Tang Shuo nodded slightly, then walked straight inside.
Tan Zhuojun was stunned, then immediately chased after him.
Tang Shuo's behavior made him feel a little uneasy. He found that he seemed to have known this person very well, but also seemed to have never known him at all.
What on earth is this guy thinking now?
Of course, Tan Zhuojun had long passed the stage of showing his emotions on his face. He quietly concealed his emotions and smiled again as he introduced the situation of the party to Tang Shuo, as if Xing Zhuowen's recent appearance was just an insignificant episode.
This gathering had a slightly official nature, and the main participants were people from the local military circle in Yanjing.
The threshold for joining the gathering is quite high. If you don’t have outstanding abilities yourself, you must have a major general-level figure in your family, which also includes some civilian positions.
The two walked to the lobby on the first floor of the hotel. From time to time, people came up to greet Tan Zhuojun, and several of them asked about Tang Shuo's identity.
Tan Zhuojun smiled and dealt with the people who came to greet him. He walked to a table in the corner and sat down. "Several outstanding figures will come on stage and share their insights in their respective fields. Xing Zhuowen will also be among them."
Tang Shuo sat down next to Tan Zhuojun and looked at the layout of the hotel lobby.
Apart from some decorations that are no different from those of ordinary hotels, a huge projection screen has been built on the elevated stage in the middle of the hotel, with a projector placed in front of the screen.
The two chatted for a while, and the people who were originally outside came in one after another.
Xing Zhuowen, whom Tang Shuo had met once before, sat in the center position closer to the stage, talking to the man next to him with a smile on his face.
Then, the place suddenly became quiet, and everyone's attention immediately turned to the stage.
A middle-aged man walked quickly onto the stage. He did not introduce himself, but started talking about the proceedings of the party.
Seeing Tang Shuo's puzzled look, Tan Zhuojun introduced him to him, "Zhang Pingchuan, Dean of Academic Affairs at the National Defense University."
Tang Shuo squinted his eyes and looked at the face of the middle-aged man on the stage. At first, he thought it was just a conventional gathering, but he didn't expect it to be so valued.
Zhang Pingchuan gave a brief introduction on the stage and then turned and left the stage.
Then a man in his twenties who looked rather unremarkable stood up, and the moment he stood up, the projector was turned on.
