Chapter 88: The Evil Stepmother of the Republic of China (Twenty-three) Countdown to Double Monthly Tickets
"Ms. Gu?"
Ma Yong rubbed his eyes, looked again, and found that he had not recognized the wrong person.
Gu Qingcheng is very easy to recognize, not because she has any distinctive features in her appearance, but because her clothes are a little "unique".
In the stands, most people were wearing suits and dresses, or Zhongshan suits and student skirts.
The few women who wore traditional ao skirts huddled behind their families like frightened quails.
Among the people Ma Yong knew, only Ms. Gu, who wore a conservative and complicated horse-faced skirt and a traditional round bun, could still hold her head high and her chest high.
And the confidence and boldness that emanates from her bones is simply Gu Qingcheng's signature.
Not to mention, there was a little fat boy following Gu Qingcheng!
With so many obvious signs put together, Ma Yong felt that he must have recognized the right person.
only--
Why is Ms. Gu hanging out with foreigners? She seems to be chatting with foreigners. This, this is too fantastic.
Ma Yong knew that Gu Qingcheng could read and write, and that she was truly cultured, but there were huge differences between Eastern and Western cultures.
Not to mention anything else, language alone is like a huge threshold.
The two soldiers who accompanied Gu Qingcheng for a stroll in the city that day did not report to the adjutant after returning.
Because they themselves couldn't believe that a country woman with big feet who was traveling far away for the first time could actually chat and laugh with foreigners.
If you say something like this, not only will you not receive the reward, you might even be scolded by your adjutant.
Following the principle that less trouble is worse than more, the two soldiers decided to "forget" the matter.
The adjutant didn't know, so naturally he wouldn't report it to Ma Yong.
As for Ma Yong, he has been busy dealing with accumulated military affairs these days. He went to the governor to request the purchase of military equipment and other supplies. Whenever he had some free time, he would treat Miss Chen, his blind date, to steak and coffee.
Tsk, busy and frustrating - what good are those bloody steaks and bitter coffee? The key is that Ma Yong doesn't understand those Western rules at all, and he uses a pair of knife and fork awkwardly.
When eating, Miss Chen would smack his lips and wouldn't even let him speak.
Being busy and in a bad mood, Ma Yong naturally had no energy to pay attention to other things.
As a result, after not seeing each other for a few days, Ms. Gu brought him such a "surprise".
"What Ms. Gu?"
She was wearing an exquisite dress, white lace gloves on her hands, a hat on her head, and delicate makeup on her face.
Miss Chen's original appearance was only 50% or 60% good-looking, but her clothes brought out 70% of her appearance, making her barely a pretty beauty.
It was just that the slight arrogance between her brows slightly ruined her image.
She was very disgusted with rough guys like Ma Yong.
He has a simple mind, strong limbs, a lot of bandit habits, speaks loudly, and smacks his lips when he eats...
His teeth are yellow and he utters swear words like "fuck you" when he opens his mouth.
I can't read a single word and can't even drink coffee. It's really embarrassing no matter where I am.
If I wasn't old, if my family didn't still want to rely on Commander Ma, if I wasn't...
She has a miserable life. Not only has she been neglected since childhood, but when she grows up, she has to sacrifice for her family.
Feeling disgusted, Miss Chen had no patience at all for Ma Yong.
However, seeing that he looked as if he had seen a ghost, Miss Chen still looked in the direction he was looking out of curiosity.
When she saw Gu Qingcheng's traditional jacket and skirt that smelled of decay, she immediately lost interest.
Humph, another ignorant and conservative woman.
She should be called "Ms. Gu", but she actually has the nerve to call herself Ms. Gu!
"Commander Ma, don't pay attention to these unimportant people. Let me introduce Mr. Felix to you."
"Mr. Felix is a famous surgeon. He is a good friend of Mr. Bach."
Mr. Bach is a businessman from Country D.
His family holds a high status in Country D, and I heard that one of his uncles is a general.
Therefore, in his business, he inevitably came into contact with arms.
Miss Chen knew that Ma Yong was trying every means to establish connections with foreigners who could sell military equipment.
And Mr. Felix, whom she met in the church and the dance hall, was her greatest confidence.
Although she had only met Mr. Felix once, and although she only knew simple English and not a word of D, among all the people Ma Yong knew, she was definitely the one most likely to help him.
This is Miss Chen's confidence.
This is also the biggest reason why she was able to marry Commander Ma as his second wife instead of being a concubine.
"Mr. Fei, Mr. Fei, he is a doctor?"
Ma Yong was confused by foreign names like Felix and Bach, and was unable to react for a while.
"I want to buy weapons, but I don't want to see a doctor. What do I need the money for?"
Ms. Chen: ...Idiot! You can't even understand the cause and effect relationship!
That is to say, when he encountered a chaotic time and had a few guns in his hands, he became a wild commander.
If it were in the past, such an illiterate and simple-minded soldier would not even be worthy of carrying Miss Chen's shoes.
But——
Miss Chen was filled with sadness and always felt that she was a "beautiful woman with a tragic fate."
Sighing secretly in her heart, Miss Chen suppressed her disgust and aversion and patiently explained, "Mr. Felix is a doctor, but he is Mr. Bach's personal physician."
"Mr. Bach's uncle is a general in Country D, so Mr. Bach can get weapons."
The weapons of Country D are the most sophisticated and much stronger than those made in Hanyang.
"D country products?"
As a soldier, Ma Yong naturally knew which company's weapons were good.
After hearing what Miss Chen said, his eyes were shining.
For a moment, his mind was filled with the most sophisticated and top-grade weapons of Country D.
He temporarily put aside the question of why Ms. Gu was chatting and laughing with a foreigner.
"Yes! Commander, you want to buy weapons. We can get to know Mr. Bach through Mr. Felix, and then -"
Miss Chen just felt it was very strenuous.
Alas, such a simple truth requires me to spend so much time and effort to explain it.
Too tired! "Oh! That's great!"
As a soldier with beast-like instincts, Ma Yong could naturally feel the disgust emanating from Miss Chen.
But, that doesn't matter.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Originally, I was not a good match for a rich girl like Miss Chen.
What's more, now that he needs her help, Ma Yong doesn't care even more.
To be honest, as long as someone can help him get the weapons, he will not care about the other party's disdain, even if he treats the other party like a aunt, he will not hesitate! "Hey, Mr. Felix is coming, let's go! Let's go quickly!"
When Miss Chen saw that Ma Yong finally realized his importance, a hint of pride flashed in her eyes.
She raised her chin modestly, caught a glimpse of the gray-haired figure out of the corner of her eye, and hurriedly tugged at Ma Yong's sleeve.
"Oh, good! Let's go!"
Ma Yong was both excited and nervous.
He quickly pulled at his uniform and adjusted his hat, trying to make himself look alright.
As for Miss Chen, she was full of confidence at first.
But when she approached Mr. Felix, her arrogant face suddenly became humble, and she greeted him in English somewhat stiffly:
"Hi! Mr. Felix! Hello! Do you still remember me? I'm Miss Chen. We danced together at the Grand Theater Ball."
Miss Chen's English is not very good and she even has a slight accent.
Moreover, she was not really confident. When facing foreigners, she always felt inferior and cowardly from the bottom of her heart.
Her attitude was extremely humble and flattering.
Before the other party did anything, her knees gave way first.
"Miss Chen?"
Who is it?
I seem to have some impression, but not deep.
People of different races are actually somewhat blind to each other.
Miss Chen is not a bright and beautiful lady, and she doesn't have any distinctive features. It's normal that Felix, who only met her once, couldn't remember her.
However, when Felix saw that she was wearing a Western-style dress and spoke broken English, he knew that she must be the so-called "new woman."
Felix was willing to show a little kindness to such people.
"Oh! It's Miss Chen, hello!"
Mr. Felix, adhering to his gentlemanly manners, greeted Miss Chen politely.
However, Miss Chen took other people's politeness as "importance".
She was secretly proud of herself and subconsciously wanted to go see Ma Yong.
She seemed to be saying: See, I know Mr. Felix.
Ma Yong couldn't understand the chatter between Miss Chen and Felix.
But he knows how to read people's faces.
He found that the gray-haired, blue-eyed foreigner was smiling as he spoke to Miss Chen.
Smiling means closeness and a good relationship.
So, Miss Chen really knew the foreigner? And they had a good relationship?
Ma Yong pondered secretly.
Miss Chen successfully got a response from Felix, and she seemed to be encouraged.
She measured her body slightly, pointed at Ma Yong and said to Felix, "Mr. Felix, this is Commander Ma Yong."
"He has something he wants to discuss with you."
In fact, Miss Chen didn't want to be so straightforward.
She would rather exchange pleasantries with Felix first and get closer to him.
But her English level is very limited. She simply cannot use words that are too profound or too euphemistic.
Moreover, Felix on the opposite side is not a British Chinese. Although he can speak some English, he is not as fluent as his native language, D.
It is nothing but a dream for two people who have very poor English to communicate in English and to achieve good results.
Felix was stunned for a moment, and his eyes subconsciously looked at Ma Yong.
Seeing this, Ma Yong thought that Miss Chen had successfully negotiated with Mr. Fei, so he forced a kind smile and said stiffly to Felix, "I'm choking, I'm choking."
Felix: ...
It's not that I dislike it, I just find it a little confusing.
The atmosphere is a bit awkward.
Felix glanced around and happened to see an acquaintance. He left Ma Yong and walked towards the man with a smile.
"Bail! Why are you here at the horse ranch again?"
