Chapter 448 Swing, Beauty.

Inside the Bai Family Mansion, Haige Road.

In the courtyard, spring is full of poetry and painting, and the sun shines through the sparse clouds and sprinkles on the green lawn.

In the corner, an exquisite Qianqiu stands quietly.

On the Qianqiu, a girl sits quietly. She is wearing a pure white dress, and the hem of the skirt sways gently with her movements, as pure and flawless as a blooming lily.

Her face is exquisite and picturesque. Although she is not wearing makeup, her skin is as delicate as cream and moist astonishing.

Her long black hair cascades down like a waterfall, scattered on her shoulders, and flutters gently in the wind, adding a bit of charm.

But there seems to be a hint of melancholy in her eyes, as if there is an unresolved depression lingering in her heart.

The girl is none other than Bai Xiuzhu.

Since Zheng Jirong left last time, she has returned to Shanghai.

Zheng Jirong claimed at the time that he was going to Hong Kong Island to handle business and was expected to be back within a month. However, more than 40 days had passed and there was no news from him, as if he had disappeared from the face of the earth.

He didn't have a phone number or address, and even if he wanted to send a letter, he didn't know where to send it.

Some time ago, there was chaos outside, and Bai Xiuzhu didn't know whether Zheng Jirong was alive or dead. She had just handed her body to him, but he disappeared in a few days.

When she thought of this, Bai Xiuzhu was anxious and wanted to go out to find him in person.

At this moment, a strange sound came from the yard.

Bai Xiuzhu was about to turn around to check, but she felt a pair of big hands covering her eyes from behind.

Then, a familiar voice sounded in her ears:

"Thinking about me?"

After hearing this voice, Bai Xiuzhu immediately pulled her hand away and turned her head to look. Behind her, Zheng Jirong was looking at her with a smile.

"You're back!"

Bai Xiuzhu was so excited that she burst into tears and threw herself into Zheng Jirong's arms.

She muttered, "You are such a heartless person. You have been gone for so many days without any news and you didn't even send me a letter! You... you still remember to come back!"

Zheng Jirong gently stroked her hair, patted her back and comforted her, "I will never do that next time. I will take you back to Hong Kong Island after I finish my business this time."

"Hong Kong Island?" Bai Xiuzhu said puzzledly, "Your career is all in Shanghai, and your uncle has prepared an official position for you. Why are you going to Hong Kong Island now?"

"The Hong Kong Island I'm talking about is different from this Hong Kong Island. You will know when the time comes."

Zheng Jirong explained casually that he had decided to tell Bai Xiuzhu all his identities in a few days, and take her back to Hong Kong Island, which was decades old.

He had much more affairs in Hong Kong Island than in Shanghai. After all, he had only been here for a month or two, and he was no different from a passerby. Hong Kong Island was his home.

And the speed of time in both places was different, so it would be better to just show his cards and take him away.

Anyway, this time and space was in chaos, and there was nothing to linger about.

What does this official position mean?

He asked in surprise: "You said Bai Chongxi wants to give me an official position?"

"Yes," Bai Xiuzhu nodded and explained: "After the Northern Expedition was successful, uncle told the principal about your free millions of military expenses for the Northern Expedition Army. I heard that the principal was very happy when he knew it, and even proposed to reward you personally."

Speaking of this, the girl whispered: "Uncle is now a general and the commander-in-chief of the Fourth Army Group, but he was transferred to Guangxi by the principal. He said that in order not to disappoint you, this was specially applied for by uncle before leaving."

"This"

Zheng Jirong's face was a little strange when he heard this. He is a serious national agent, and now he has to serve under the Eighteen Stars?

"What position did you apply for? Not an anti-smoking ambassador, right?"

"Of course not," Bai Xiuzhu thought for a moment and said, "It seems to be a naval colonel of the Jiang Defense Fleet of the Navy Department of the Military Department."

"."

Zheng Jirong immediately shook his head with amusement. This position was obviously used by Chiang Kai-shek to deceive people. He just wanted to win over Bai Chongxi and deceive him to give more money to their National Government.

As for this naval colonel. These days, the positions of the military department are very empty, not to mention the navy. It is obviously just a title.

But it's not bad to say that other high-profile bosses in Shanghai are all idle jobs in the government, but he has already made it in the military, and it's more impressive than others.

No, it seems that there are no other high-profile gangs in Shanghai except his own Axe Gang.

Before coming to Baigongguan, he met Zhou Dafu and Peanuts in the club.

According to them, after the Axe Gang's cleansing, Shanghai is now dominated by their Axe Gang. Other gangs are either forced to evacuate the city or choose to submit to the Axe Gang.

The Axe Gang now has more than 10,000 registered members, firmly controlling nearly half of the city's tobacco business.

Of course, this tobacco refers to the proper cigarette business rather than opium. In addition, it also involves the tea business.

Although the profits and assets of Shanghai's Huasheng Company are far less than those of the Sanxin Company that monopolized the entire Songhu opium, its monthly turnover is nearly one million.

You should know that Lu Yuesheng's Sanxin Company has an annual turnover of more than 70 million, which is simply a bug in this era.

With the influence of the Axe Gang among the people, plus the strong economic strength of Huasheng Company, it is no wonder that Chiang Kai-shek proposed to use official positions as bait, hoping that he would continue to donate.

However, now that the Northern Expedition has ended, the north has been stabilized, and it seems that Zhang XueL will change the flag in a few days, and the unification of the country is just around the corner.

At this time, no matter how much he donates, it will go into the pockets of the four major families. He must be mentally ill to donate to them.

However, he can send a large sum of money and medicine to YA before leaving.

Pulling his thoughts away from these things, Zheng Jirong's eyes returned to Bai Xiuzhu in his arms.

At this moment, her upper body was nestled in his arms, but her legs were still gently swinging on the swing, and the white and tender calves under the skirt looked particularly charming in the sun.

Swing Beauty

This scene suddenly reminded Zheng Jirong of a movie he had seen before, and he couldn't help but smile.

"Does anyone usually come to this yard?"

"No, the servants should all be at home at this time."

After hearing this, Zheng Jirong gently lifted Bai Xiuzhu's arm and slowly turned her over from the swing, so that she faced him.

Bai Xiuzhu grabbed the rope beside the swing in confusion. Just as she was confused, Zheng Jirong suddenly picked her up and sat on the swing himself

"You, you hooligan."
