Year: I had a good time when I was young

Chapter 741 Father Starts Business and Son Enters Politics

Chu Xiangqian was not actually worried that he would be fooled by the polar bear's swallow. Ever since he discovered that he was being targeted by the polar bear, this guy became alert.

From now on, whenever a woman approaches him, especially a beautiful woman, Chu Xiangqian's first thought will definitely be Yan Zi.

After all, in his mind, the polar bear swallows were too famous and their record was too brilliant, so it was hard not to be on guard.

Moreover, for someone like Chu Xiangqian who knows how to train swallows, it is actually not difficult to identify swallows.

From now on, any woman around me who has much better sex skills than ordinary people, and is well-behaved, considerate, and has strong working ability, is basically Yan Zi.

It was not easy to cultivate a socialite or a young woman with outstanding work ability in this era. Margaret seemed naive and even stupid in many aspects.

Let’s take a look at the basic training that Yan Zi received, which included fighting, poisoning, tracking, communications, assassination, photography, skiing, parachuting, use of firearms, and ship driving.

Anti-tracking, anti-interrogation, diplomatic etiquette, art appreciation, foreign languages, makeup, intelligence analysis, and even fraud can be seen that any one of the swallows is more like a socialite than a socialite.

This is only the first phase of training. Next they will learn physiology, anatomy, sexology, and will practice with swallows and crows.

Then each student will practice repeatedly, and finally focus the practice on the elderly and children.

After graduation, you will need to enter the seven international cities established by Polar Bear in different styles. Your dress and daily life must be exactly the same as ordinary people in the imitated country, only then will you be sent out.

In other words, there is a mismatch between ability and background, which is 100% problematic.

It would be much more difficult to disguise yourself as a noblewoman or the daughter of a wealthy family, and if you really want to investigate, it is basically extremely difficult to forge a perfect identity.

Moreover, Chu Xiangqian has already made up his mind that from now on he will only focus on his body and not his heart.

It might not be difficult to get close to him, but it would definitely be more difficult to gain his trust.

Even Chu Xiangqian began to wonder again whether Linda and Zheng Sufen were from England.

Fortunately, Linda is only responsible for the business with Tianzhu, while Zheng Sufen is only responsible for the cattle and sheep trading in Hong Kong Island.

These basically do not involve confidentiality. After all, if someone wants to investigate, it is not difficult to find out about these two businesses.

Thinking of this, Chu Xiangqian immediately decided that Linda should let her focus more on the police force in the future.

As for Zheng Sufen, he had been on guard against her from the beginning. In the future, he would continue to let her work for him and continue to manage the cattle and sheep business and the resort on Donglong Road.

Moreover, the resort was originally a place where he and members of the card club including Ge Bai, Hadel, Nelson, etc. played cards and communicated with each other.

Even though the British intelligence agencies were paying attention to the collusion between politicians and businessmen in Hong Kong, Chu Xiangqian was not afraid. In his heart, he was secretly hoping that the matter would be reported to Downing Street and the royal family.

It's actually not a good thing to not reveal any evidence.

Revealing this kind of handle would implicitly give Chu Xiangqian a reason to drag the royal family and the foreign minister into the water.

Based on Chu Xiangqian's understanding of Philips, this guy will not only not care whether his brother-in-law illegally acquired land in Hong Kong Island, but also whether he colluded with Hong Kong Island's senior executives to make profits.

There is a high probability that he will take the initiative to suppress these handles, and then come to me to seek credit and benefits.

Thinking of this, Chu Xiangqian couldn't help but feel that it was necessary to take Philip with him to explore his business in Hong Kong Island.

Although Norton's status is not low, he is not a real powerful person after all.

Norton's grandfather Mountbatten would help suppress some minor matters, but when it came to politics, Norton's weight was not enough.

But Chu Xiangqian would not be so foolish as to drag Philip into businesses like flour and money laundering.

They are not stupid. They would not take such a risk for tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of pounds.

Chu Xiangqian was reluctant to let Philips take advantage of him in businesses such as real estate, finance, factories, and docks.

After just a moment's thought, he decided on the title.

Ge Bai, Hadel, Bridge and other English foreigners in Hong Kong Island have long wanted to become part of the aristocratic circle.

After Chu Xiangqian became a knight, these guys became even more envious.

So Chu Xiangqian didn't mind making some money from Bridge and the others, and helping Philip make some extra money at the same time.

As long as it is not the two highest levels of titles among the five levels of knighthood.

Every year, many fourth and fifth class titles are awarded to non-British celebrities.

Since people like Bridge are British, it is not difficult to exaggerate their contributions.

Then he instigated Philip to go into business with guys like Bridge.

Then the collusion between himself and Bridge and others in politics and business would involve the royal family.

Chu Xiangqian believed that from now on, not to mention investigating himself, MI5, Kingsman and the Foreign Secretary in Downing Street would % suppress any scandal related to him.

In order to maintain confidentiality and protect Philips, the informant would even be killed by MI5 or the Kingsman Academy.

A wedding banquet was held for Ai Min and Qin Jingru in the courtyard of Luoguxiang. The only thing left was to hold a full-moon banquet for little Chu Jingrong and spend the New Year in peace.

The full moon banquet was quite lively. Chu Xiangqian didn't actually want to make a big fuss, but he couldn't stop his friends and relatives, who were not particularly close, from coming to congratulate him.

While they were chatting lively in the living room, Chu Jingrong stayed in the arms of his biological mother Xue Jinglan without crying or making a fuss.

When the female relatives who were close to him came over to tease him, they would look at them with their dark eyes and giggle.

Then, when old man Xue started giving the little guy the full-month gifts, the little guy's attention was quickly drawn to each gift.

Wooden shaking heads, cradles, silver bracelets of different sizes and longevity locks, ponies, rattles, silver zodiac signs, and jade zodiac signs.

Chu Jingrong was seen moving around in his mother's arms.

After everyone had given their gifts, Xue Jinglan pointed at the scattered small items on the table and asked her baby son with a smile, "Which one do you like best?"

Everyone thought that Xue Jinglan was just teasing her son and didn't believe that Chu Jingrong could really understand.

It's impossible to understand.

What was unexpected was that when Xue Jinglan placed the boy on the table and supported him, he actually grabbed a small bloodstone seal that his master Gong Changqing had taken out, which was carved by hand and read "Peace and Happiness Every Year".

Then he turned around and looked at Xue Jinglan, as if responding to what his mother had just said.

As everyone was surprised, their eyes on Chu Jingrong suddenly changed.

When a child turns one year old, the adults will definitely put a seal on the ground.

The meaning of the seal used in the One-Year-Old Ceremony is very straightforward, that is, it is the official seal of ancient times.

Chu Xiangqian didn't take it seriously at first. After all, it was a full-moon banquet, not a one-year-old birthday banquet, let alone a one-year-old birthday celebration.

I just thought that Chu Jingrong saw that he was closest to the seal and it was shining red, so he grabbed it.

But then I thought, my son was born in December 62, and was only thirty-five or thirty-six in the late 12s.

Not only was he young and strong, he had already entered society and had trained for more than ten years, so it was not difficult for him to pursue a career in Hong Kong. As for following his biological father into business, Chu Xiangqian thought to himself that it was unnecessary.

At the beginning of the new millennium, Chu Jingrong was 38 years old, and he, as a father, was only 60 years old, still a long way from retirement.

If Chu Jingrong, the eldest son, also does business, he will inevitably disagree with his biological father on some things, which may not be a good thing.

Therefore, if Chu Jingrong pursues a career in politics, he can avoid conflicts of core interests with his father.

You can also get the full support of your own father.

By then, this kid will have a backer and won't have to worry about money. It's possible that the higher-ups in the Celestial Empire will want him to enter Hong Kong's political arena.

As long as he doesn't commit suicide, no one can stop him from rising higher in Hong Kong's political arena.

Thinking of this, Chu Xiangqian couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Master, mistress, Yixiantian, Laojiang.

The Xue family’s old man, old lady, father-in-law and mother-in-law.

When his second uncle, third uncle and others saw his performance, they immediately knew that Chu Xiangqian must have the idea of ​​training his eldest son to enter politics.

The older generation was naturally very happy, and the younger generation who understood the meaning of the seal became more envious when they looked at Chu Jingrong.

This kid has his grandfather and great-grandfather to protect him, and his biological father to teach and protect him personally. It's possible that the Chu family will really produce a high-ranking official in the future.

Now, the attitude and expectations of the second uncle and the third uncle towards Chu Jingrong, the eldest grandson of the eldest son, are more important than those towards Chu Xiangqian, the eldest son of the eldest son and the head of the Chu family.

In the Celestial Empire, power is more important than money.

Chu Xiangqian had made Hong Kong Island his base early on, which was a very foresighted decision.

In the next forty or fifty years, when Chu Xiangqian's wealth and influence reach a certain level, he and his descendants will become the targets of various parties.

Chu Xiangqian knows the general direction of the future, so when the time comes to make a choice, he will definitely not choose the wrong side.

The Chu family might really be able to prosper and be wealthy for five generations in the future.

Thinking of this, Chu Xiangqian immediately decided that although Chu Jingrong would pursue a career in Hong Kong Island in the future, he would take him back to Beijing to live for three to five months every year before he came of age.

I even went to kindergarten and primary school in Beijing, and then went to middle school and high school in Hong Kong Island.

When it comes to the college entrance examination, let him enter a university in Hong Kong Island first, and then go to a university in Beijing as an exchange student to study for one or two years. This will prevent this kid from growing up in Hong Kong Island and not having much sense of identity with the Celestial Empire even with the influence of his biological father.
-
After the lively full-moon banquet, the old man of the Xue family and Xue Xiaomin, the father-in-law, took Chu Xiangqian to his study.

"Xiang Qian, since you intend to let Xiao Rongrong pursue a career in government, will the child grow up in Beijing or in Hong Kong Island?"

Chu Xiangqian understood as soon as he heard it. The old man was hinting at whether Chu Jingrong would enter politics in the mainland or in Hong Kong Island in the future.

He smiled and said, "With my status, my child must go to Hong Kong Island for better development."

Old Master Xue and Xue Xiaomin sighed. It should not be difficult for Chu Xiangqian to protect and support his own son since his contribution was so great.

But his achievements cannot be publicized, and he is too rich. It will indeed save a lot of trouble if Chu Jingrong is arranged to develop in Hong Kong Island.

And to be frank, the higher-ups definitely hope that Chu Jingrong will inherit Chu Xiangqian's influence in Hong Kong Island.

While Mr. Xue and Xue Xiaomin felt it was a pity, they were also relieved.

Although grandchildren are close to you, they are not as close as your own grandsons.

The brothers Xue Jianrong and Xue Jianguo will also have children in the future. If their cousin Chu Jingrong becomes famous in the mainland first, most of the Xue family's resources and connections will inevitably be taken away by Chu Jingrong.

They would even bet on him from the beginning, otherwise Chu Xiangqian would become estranged from the Xue family.

Even Xue Jinglan, the daughter of the Xue family, would feel dissatisfied with her natal family.

After all, a nephew is not as close as a biological son.

Seeing that Chu Xiangqian saw things so clearly, Mr. Xue and Xue Xiaomin became even more satisfied with him.

Then they talked about Li Yunlong applying to his superiors to set up a special forces unit.

After more than a month of discussion, the higher-ups have basically decided to let Xue Jianrong, as the regiment commander, select 300 people from various units to start training.

Finally, most of them were eliminated and a special operations team of about 120 people was formed, which was at the regimental level.

In other words, the special forces soldiers who stayed behind were at least second lieutenant level.

It can be seen that the higher-ups really attach great importance to this experimental new type of soldiers.

If the special operations team performs well in the future, Xue Jianrong may be promoted to a brigade commander before he turns 30.

Becoming a general in the future will definitely not be a problem.

Chu Xiangqian naturally supports his brother-in-law in percentage, but how to support him specifically is not something Chu Xiangqian can decide.

There is a high probability that his superiors will not give him the opportunity to donate money or supplies to this unit.

Chu Xiangqian himself also wished that he would not be bothered by him.

Instead of spending time assisting Xue Jianrong in training this special forces unit, it would be better to spend more time with his wife and precious son.

Besides, the Prime Minister’s personal order to transport a batch of weapons and ammunition to South Africa has been delayed for more than 40 days.

Chu Xiangqian plans to return to Hong Kong Island on the third or fourth day of the Chinese New Year.

To deal with matters of various companies in Hong Kong Island, I go to London.
-
At night, because Xue Jinglan was in very good health, her postpartum recovery was naturally very good. After 30 days, she was not willing to listen to her mother's advice that it would be best to sit for the full 42 days before ending the confinement period.

When Chu Xiangqian returned to the main bedroom, he looked at the crib as usual, but saw that his baby son was not there. He quickly turned to look at Xue Jinglan.

Upon looking up, he saw Xue Jinglan, who was lying on the bed covered with a quilt, lifting a corner of the quilt, revealing her white thighs and pajamas with very little fabric.

I immediately realized that my wife couldn't help but want to play a friendly match.

As for Chu Jingrong, he must be with his master's wife tonight.

Chu Xiangqian chuckled, showing a lewd smile and went to turn off the lights.

One night fish and dragon dance.

Feifei, who lived in the side room to the right of the main house, did not sleep well the whole night. Finally, in a fit of anger, she got up and joined in the three of them playing Landlord.

The next morning, Chu Xiangqian got up early to practice boxing as usual, while Xue Jinglan and Feifei slept until about 10 o'clock in the morning, only waking up with a cough.

Xue Jinglan suddenly felt weak all over, but she was in a very good mood. Her complexion became more delicate and bright, and Feifei who was standing beside her was envious.

Moreover, Xue Jinglan has always had a curvy figure and a plump body. Now that she has given birth to a child, she has become even more plump and feminine.
