Signing in the Republic of China: starting from a foot patrol

Chapter 38

After getting into the car, Lin Hongfei, who was sitting in the co-pilot, turned around and asked, "Uncle Chen, where are you taking me?"

At this time, Chen Fengchang became a little serious, and he said slowly: "I originally planned to tell you about the promotion of the police station tonight."

"However, I got news this morning that the current Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Wang Zhiyuan, was suddenly dismissed. The reason is unknown, but this person has always been on good terms with President Li Da."

"I guess, it should be Marshal Duan who wants to use this matter to beat President Li."

Lin Hongfei knew a little about the dispute between Duan Li and the court, but he still pretended to be ignorant and asked:

"Uncle Chen, President Li is the head of a country. In the previous dynasty, he would be the emperor. How could Marshal Duan dare to beat him?"

Chen Fengchang chuckled: "President Li Da has no military power, so he is a false president."

"Marshal Duan is the leader of the Anhui faction, and he has many elite soldiers and strong generals under his command."

"To put it bluntly, Marshal Duan is like Cao Cao in the Three Kingdoms period. President Li is a bit like Emperor Xian of Han."

Lin Hongfei nodded and continued to ask: "Then what does this matter have to do with what happened tonight?"

Chen Fengchang explained: "After Wang Zhiyuan was dismissed, in the afternoon, Marshal Duan appointed his old subordinate Qian Minghe as the Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs."

"The incident happened suddenly, but the Ministry of Internal Affairs will still hold a welcome banquet, and the time is set for tonight."

"This time is too tense!" Lin Hongfei laughed.

Chen Fengchang was a little helpless: "There is no way. If the new official takes office, if the welcome banquet is not held in time, I am afraid that he will offend the newly appointed Deputy Chief Qian."

"So no matter how tight the time is, it will be held tonight."

At this time, Lin Hongfei asked: "Uncle Chen, are you taking me to a banquet?"

Chen Fengchang nodded: "Yes, Hongfei, you don't know, our Police Department is under the charge of Deputy Chief Qian."

"Besides, your grandfather and Deputy Chief Qian Minghe are also old friends. Back then, they both worked under Marshal Yuan's command, and both went to the Army Academy as instructors. They have a very good relationship."

"If he knows that his old friend's grandson is working in the police station, he will naturally support you more, which will be very beneficial to your future promotion."

At this time, Lin Hongfei couldn't help but be speechless. He thought that a single Chen Fengchang would be enough to make him feel like a fish in water in the police circle in the capital.

Now, the chief in charge of the police is actually an old friend of my grandfather, this is like a tiger with wings added!

"Thank you, Uncle Chen!" Lin Hongfei said gratefully.

Chen Fengchang waved his hands and smiled: "You don't need to thank me, if you want to thank you, you can thank your grandpa."

"Although your grandfather's position was not high at the beginning, he had a lot of experience and good character. Many members of the Beiyang Army have a close relationship with your grandfather."

"I took you to the banquet tonight to let everyone know about your existence and to draw you into our old Beiyang's circle."

A flash of excitement flashed in Lin Hongfei's eyes. It seems that at this banquet, he will gain the most precious and hardest-to-obtain network resources!

If you can make use of these precious network resources, it will bring you unimaginable benefits and help.

The car galloped all the way, and finally arrived outside the most famous Liuguo Hotel in Yanjing City.

The Six Kingdoms Hotel has four floors, and it is one of the tallest Western-style buildings in Yanjing City, and it is also the most high-end Western-style restaurant in Yanjing City.

The people who come in and out every day are famous dignitaries, princes and ladies in Yanjing City.

Lin Hongfei had passed by here before, but at that time, as a stinky foot patrol, let alone entering the store, he was probably stopped by the gatekeeper as soon as he walked up the steps, and then politely said that it was okay to go down the steps and turn right. deliver.

The car stopped, Chen Fengchang and his wife Chen Qishi got out of the car, and Lin Hongfei followed closely behind.

Although the doorman did not know Chen Fengchang and the others, he could tell from their clothes and temperament that this person was by no means an ordinary person, so he hurriedly opened the door politely and invited Chen Fengchang and the others to enter.

It was the first time for Lin Hongfei to come to the Liuguo Hotel, but he was not very surprised. After all, he had been to a more luxurious hotel than this in his previous life.

But compared with the contemporary Yanjing City, the Six Kingdoms Hotel is indeed luxurious and luxurious.

In the banquet hall, guests who had already gathered for the banquet of the Ministry of Internal Affairs had already gathered at this time. As soon as Chen Fengchang entered, the guests greeted them and greeted them with smiles.

The police department can be regarded as the real power department of the Ministry of the Interior, with a high position and weight.

Naturally, Chen Fengchang, acting as the director, has also become the object of praise and flattery in the eyes of everyone.

Because the banquet hadn't officially started yet, and Qian Minghe, the guest of honor, hadn't shown up yet, the atmosphere in the hall was quite relaxed.

Lin Hongfei strolled to the long dining table covered with white cloth, and began to enjoy the rare food during this period.

"Zhengguanghe's soda is okay!"

Lin Hongfei took a bottle of Zhengguanghe soda and commented after drinking half of the bottle.

This Zhengguanghe soda is a kind of soda introduced from the United Kingdom to China. It is produced by Shanghai Mile Soda Factory. It was a well-known soda brand during the Republic of China.

"It's a pity, there are still 10 years before Coca-Cola can be introduced into China."

"But at that time, I should already have the ability to go abroad for fun, and then just go abroad to drink!"

After Lin Hongfei drank a whole bottle of soda, he smacked his mouth and felt that it was not enough, so he picked up another bottle and drank it while walking around.

At this moment, the entire hall suddenly fell silent, and everyone looked in one direction.

Lin Hongfei also followed everyone's gaze, and saw a few older men with long beards walking slowly.

"It seems that the real master has appeared!" Lin Hongfei hid in the corner, thinking secretly while drinking soda.

Soon, these people walked to the main seat, and their mouths were a scene without connotation.

Its content is nothing more than to welcome Deputy Chief Qian Minghe to take office. The arrival of Deputy Chief Qian Minghe will definitely bring a new atmosphere to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and make the work of the Ministry of Internal Affairs better.

It's dry and not interesting at all.

Lin Hongfei didn't bother to listen to these empty speeches, his eyes kept scanning those young girls in bright and beautiful clothes.

"These two should be young ladies from a rich family."

"Looking at the temperament, it is unusual."

"Those banquet ladies who were probably called to liven up the atmosphere, their eyes never left the man."

"Well, the wine glass is quite long, and the wine is also very white and round."

A few banquet girls noticed Lin Hongfei's gaze, first looked at Lin Hongfei carefully, and then snorted coldly.

He is indeed handsome, but being handsome can't be regarded as a meal. Looking at his clothes and shoes, he can tell that he bought them from a tailor's shop.

Also, it's really tasteless to drink a bottle of soda without drinking red wine.

This person should be a servant of the Ministry of Internal Affairs or a relative of a small official.

There is nothing to squeeze!

It's not like those guys who wear custom-made suits, carved leather shoes, hold red wine glasses, and comb their oily hair. Those people have money to squeeze!

Therefore, the banquet ladies no longer paid attention to Lin Hongfei, but there were one or two banquet ladies who felt that Lin Hongfei looked really good.

If you don't hook up with a young master who has taken advantage of you tonight, then it won't be a loss to have a romantic night with Lin Hongfei.

The attitude of the ladies at the banquet was considered kind, because Lin Hongfei clearly noticed at this time that a few young people with greasy hair and pink noodles were staring at him with inexplicable hostility.

"Are you sick?"

"Why are you staring at me?"

Lin Hongfei wasn't afraid either, after all, there was nothing to be afraid of.

He stared back directly, if it wasn't for the fact that it was a banquet and everyone was a civilized person, Lin Hongfei would have given these boys a few harsh words of "what are you looking at".

Just as the fiery eyes collided in the air, a lazy voice sounded in Lin Hongfei's ear:

"These little white faces regard you as the same kind. They see that you look good, and they are worried that you will snatch their women away."

"Ok?"

"Who?"

Lin Hongfei was taken aback for a moment, then turned his head and saw a man wearing gold-rimmed glasses and a satin gown.

Seeing Lin Hongfei looking at him, the long-clothed man smiled and said, "My servant, Yuan Shiqing!"

When Lin Hongfei heard this, he knew this person, so he cupped his hands at him and said, "It turns out to be the fourth master Yuan who is famous in Sijiu City!"

"Si Ye didn't go to Liyuan to listen to the opera, why did he come to the banquet of the Ministry of Internal Affairs?"
