Chapter 64: Going Hand in Hand with the Iron-Blooded and Tender Feelings of the Republic of China
On the day of the first birthday party, the Xinjiang Mansion was bustling with guests.
Although Rongzhen only sent out dozens of invitations, and they were all to people they knew, given the couple's current status, there were many people who wanted to come and support them and look for opportunities to add icing on the cake.
Fortunately, Aunt Pang and her family had made sufficient preparations in advance, so they were not afraid of too many people coming. When people came to congratulate them with gifts and smiling faces, they couldn't chase them away.
However, Jiang Yu saw that there were too many visitors, so he ordered his men to urgently dispatch a team of guards to surround the area to prevent any accidents.
By the time the banquet began, the large living room in Rongzhen's new home was almost packed with guests. The scene of feasting, drinking, and beautiful women was so delighted by the little fat girl that she clapped her chubby hands and cried loudly, looking extremely happy.
When the president and the others saw the chubby and lively child, they couldn't help but praise him: "This child is well-raised and not afraid of people at all."
As parents, we can only feel happy when our children are praised, and Rongzhen is no exception.
Unable to conceal her smile, she said modestly, "She's just a carefree person. She really likes being in crowds and is quite playful."
"Being tough is good, because it means you can grow up safely." This is what classmate Zhao said.
Her baby brother, the protagonist of the last birthday party held at her house, has recently fallen ill again, causing great trouble for everyone in the family.
Seeing the strong, easy-to-use and fun little Fatty, she wanted to swap her with her own brother.
The sisters admired the little birthday girl together for a while, and presented her with gifts prepared for her one by one.
When Xiao Zhuzhu received the gift, she smiled so hard that her teeth were showing and her saliva was flowing out. If you didn’t know her, you would think she was a greedy girl.
Everyone laughed and teased her for a while, then turned to talk to Rongzhen about the last verification.
The masterminds behind deliberately directing refugees to their factory were indeed competitors. Because they could not compete with them in business, they wanted to use this disgusting method to make things difficult for them.
Rongzhen had already expected this and was not surprised to hear such investigation results.
But since others have already started to attack, it would be unreasonable for them not to fight back. They have to teach the other party a lesson to scare others.
As soon as they heard about fighting back, the sisters immediately became interested.
Comrade Zhao enthusiastically suggested, "Why don't we use our own methods to counterattack them?"
"This is ultimately a very bad idea." The president shook his head in disagreement.
The other sisters put their heads together and came up with many ways to deal with the mastermind behind the scenes.
After hearing this, Rong Zhen also offered her own plan, "If it were you, I'd just cut off the source of the problem."
Classmate Zhao and others were quite interested in asking her to quickly tell them how to cut off the source of the problem. The president and Rongzhen looked at each other and guessed what she was trying to do.
Rongzhen nodded at her and told her the expansion plan he had thought of a few days ago.
The reason why they can make their competitors be on guard against them is mainly because their products are well made and sell well, and they can even be said to be in short supply. If they take advantage of this opportunity to expand their business and occupy more market share, those people will be furious.
This is more devastating than fighting back.
Rong Zhen's plan is that now that the time is ripe, they can proceed to the next step, opening branches in the surrounding counties and expanding the scale of planting and breeding in the towns under the counties. On the one hand, they can complement each other to protect the Shanghai Stock Exchange, and on the other hand, they can lay the foundation in advance for extending their tentacles to other regions in the future.
The specific plan will definitely not be that simple, but the general idea is this.
She spoke concisely and clearly, and everyone in the sister group understood and began to think about the feasibility of this plan.
The president obviously agreed. The benefits that the growth of the business in recent years has brought to her family are something that no one who has enjoyed it would refuse.
Zhao and her classmates, who had tasted the sweetness, would not do that either. After quick thinking, they all voted in favor.
The matter was settled at this point, and they would find an opportunity to discuss it in detail later.
Rong Zhen took another step forward in her career while chatting and laughing, and Jiang Yu naturally did not lag behind.
He also invited many of his colleagues and friends to this one-year-old celebration, and took the opportunity to reveal to his team members his idea of establishing an arsenal.
Mr. Li, the current team's strategist, was the first to offer his opinion: "Building an arsenal is no simple matter. Raw materials, machinery, and talent are not something that can be obtained simply by money. We need to think carefully and take a long-term approach."
Jiang Yu understood, but he already had a plan. "Don't we have something ready-made over there? We can use it to lay eggs."
In this way, we have raw materials, machines and talents.
"But the weapons they made are really..." Those who knew the inside story showed an expression that was difficult to describe.
Jiang Yu said mysteriously, "It doesn't matter. This will make it easier for us to start. After we take it, we can improve it. Someone will provide us with more advanced gun blueprints."
Mr. Li and the others all looked over in surprise, "When did the Major General manage to recruit such a talented person?"
Jiang Yu smiled and glanced at Rong Zhen who was chatting enthusiastically about career plans with her sisters not far away, without exposing her.
The more people know about this, the more danger she will be in. It would be better to let everyone know about this person and remember her contribution.
Rongzhen later found out that this was also what she meant. Those things were not originally hers, so there was no need to add icing on the cake for her. Otherwise, in the end, not only would she not be able to add icing on the cake, but she would also bring danger, which would be counterproductive.
The lively and festive celebration lasted until midnight. The little fat girl was overwhelmed with gifts and fell asleep early with joy.
Rong Zhen was also very tired, but mentally excited. After seeing off the guests, she couldn't sleep, so she simply pulled Jiang Yu to the study and showed him the drawings that had been completed last night.
Jiang Yu was amazed by the intricate drawings of firearms, and finally couldn't help asking the question in his mind: "How do you know all this?"
Perhaps it was because he drank too much at the banquet, or perhaps it was because the moonlight was beautiful and the atmosphere was just right, Rongzhen answered the truth.
"Someone taught me this, and I wrote it down."
She hugged Jiang Yu's waist and swayed left and right. When she looked up and spoke, her face was obviously flushed. It was obvious that she was drunk and a little tipsy.
Jiang Yu's eyes darkened. He hugged her tightly and took the opportunity to ask, "Who taught you that? Was it a gay man?"
Rongzhen nodded obediently, memories welling up in his eyes.
Thinking of the person who had accompanied and cared for her for most of her life, she felt warmth, happiness, and a touch of sadness in her heart.
They have known each other and been together for so long. It’s not that she doesn’t remember him or that she has no feelings for him. It’s just that the previous life has ended and their fate has ended. She can only let go and move on.
Jiang Yu put down the blueprint, put his arm around her waist, lifted her up, and brought her back to her senses from her memories.
"Who is he? When did he teach you?" Jiang Yu wanted to know who that guy was so that he could know himself and the enemy and win every battle.
Rongzhen snuggled in his arms dazed, feeling the big hands around her waist getting tighter and tighter, the force making her feel a little uncomfortable, and she couldn't help twisting her body and struggling.
Jiang Yu reacted quickly and loosened his grip a little, but still held the person in his arms, insisting on asking clearly.
Rong Zhen was drunk, his eyelids felt heavy, and he couldn't help wanting to go to sleep and didn't want to answer.
Jiang Yu had no choice but to sit down and hold her on his lap, pinching her nose and blocking her mouth, disturbing her and then coaxing her to answer his questions when she became impatient.
Rong Zhen finally groaned, "Who was it? I forgot. I have to forget it. When did you teach me? Of course it was in my last life."
Jiang Yu: "..."
After getting such an answer, Jiang Yu smiled helplessly.
He was so nervous. It turned out that the person was just a non-existent person from his previous life. He was definitely drunk.
The next day, Rongzhen remembered what happened last night after she got drunk, and patted herself in fear.
The ancients were right about drinking causing trouble. I will never drink too much again.
"Awake?" Jiang Yu noticed her movements and leaned over to kiss her forehead. He shook the blueprints in his hand and said, "I'll take these. I'll send you the reward later."
Rong Zhen opened her eyes quickly and declined with a reluctance, "That's not necessary."
Jiang Yu insisted, "Brothers should settle accounts clearly. If I only give you some compensation, you will lose out. Don't feel burdened. Just take it."
Rong Zhen was disrespectful to refuse it, and soon received a box of gold bars sent by Jiang Yu. They were not small yellow croakers, but big yellow croakers!
He knew that she liked this, and not only did he not think this hobby was tacky, he was very supportive and catered to her preferences, making it difficult for Rongzhen to refuse and she gave him a thumbs up.
With this box of gold, Rongzhen immediately had enough funds to invest in the new plan.
Of course, not only she invested money, but also the sisters in the club who had tasted the sweetness of dividends continued to invest money, but some of them invested more because they had enough money, while some of them invested less because they were short of money.
Next, the couple became busy with their own affairs, running around all day long, and almost neglected the little fat boy at home.
Fortunately, the little girl was very carefree. She could eat and sleep well. Someone was watching her. Plus, she could see her parents every morning and evening, so she didn't feel anything.
But Rongzhen and Jiang Yu felt sorry for her, so after being busy for a while, they tried to make more time to accompany her.
Just when the two were getting their work on track and planning to take a break, an old friend suddenly came to visit, specifically choosing a day when the couple were both there.
"Master, Madam, it's been a long time since we last met. I hope you are well." Cuiying came over with a gift and a smile on her face.
Rongzhen and his wife couldn't turn her away, and they wanted to know why she came to see them this time.
Rong Zhen asked the servants to serve tea and snacks, and waved her hand and said, "No need to call me Young Master or Young Madam, just call me the same as everyone else."
The two sides have different positions and can no longer be as close as before.
However, since Jiang Yu has now left the Special Intelligence Bureau and joined the army, he also has some opinions about the White Party. So when he saw Cuiying, a member of the Red Party, his attitude was quite good.
Cuiying and the others took this opportunity to come and lobby him, trying to win him over to the Red Party. It would be even better if Rongzhen could be recruited as well.
After Rong Zhen understood what she meant, she looked at Jiang Yu and did not agree, but did not explicitly refuse either. She just said she would consider it.
After seeing Cuiying off, Rongzhen asked Jiang Yu, "What do you think?"
Jiang Yu’s idea was very simple. The Red Party recruited him now because he was useful to them, but this usefulness was not enough for them to protect their family at the critical moment.
So he decided to approach them with an ambiguous attitude first, delaying time to strengthen himself. When they have more bargaining chips, no matter which side they choose, they will no longer be easily treated as a pawn.
Rongzhen guessed that he might still be thinking about the injustice he suffered last time, so she hugged him and comforted him, "Okay, I'll go with you."
As someone who knew the outcome, she would definitely choose the Red Party in the end.
But Jiang Yu was right. No matter which side they chose, they had to be useful first, and becoming strong was the right thing to do.
Cuiying came two or three more times after that, but Rongzhen and Jiang Yu did not agree. However, each time her attitude became more gentle than the last, and she became more and more hesitant.
Cuiying didn't know that she was being tricked. She thought her lobbying was about to succeed and was reluctant to give up.
Of course, as Rong Zhen's business grew bigger and bigger and his career became more prosperous, Jiang Yu's armaments became better and better and his team became more and more capable and adept at fighting, and their importance also became higher and higher in the Red Party.
Until the war spread to Shanghai, Jiang Yu defeated the enemy in one fell swoop and took over all the military power of the defense army. His power and status rose sharply, while Rong Zhen ensured that the city's economy was not in chaos and people's lives were not affected. The Red Party finally could not wait any longer.
The person who came to visit and recruit this time was no longer Cuiying, but a heavyweight member of the Red Party.
Rong Zhen and Jiang Yu were not surprised and smiled at each other.
