When Chen Zikun returned home, the servants were clearing away the dishes.
Yao Yilei and Jian Bing were sitting on the sofa in the living room chatting.
Seeing that it took him so long to come back, Yao Yilei stood up and said, "I'm tired, let's go to bed first."
Ring, go upstairs.
Jian Bing observed the situation, and when he saw Chen Zikun's gloomy look, he knew that the matter had been successful.
The White Widow was successfully driven away and the conspiracy was successful.
She did not dare to say anything, so she excused herself to go upstairs to see Yao Yilei and left.
Chen Zikun was very depressed, but he couldn't blame others.
Yao Yilei and Jian Bing had done enough and enough in misrepresenting the news of his death.
What qualifications did he have to reprimand others?
Besides, Bai Yufang's incident was entirely caused by himself.
Yes, women are struggling to support themselves at home, while men are flirting with women outside.
I feel guilty about it.
I'm sorry for Yao Yilei and Jian Bing, but am I worthy of the white jade boat?
Looking at the white jade boat in my hands, I feel even more guilty.
Sitting in the living room with her eyes closed, suddenly there was the sound of light footsteps behind her, and then a pair of hands pressed on her shoulders and squeezed gently.
It was Liu Ting.
"Why, you have something on your mind?"
Liu Ting asked gently.
"Yes, I owe Bai Yufang an explanation."
Chen Zikun sighed.
Liu Ting turned around, wearing a white nightgown and her freshly washed hair was wet.
Under the dim light, she still vaguely looked like the female student at the door of the Supervisory Office.
Although she was not Chen Zikun's wife and concubine, she was closer than his wife and concubine.
He has been his personal secretary for more than ten years, handling all his affairs and knowing his attitude and policies.
There are many secrets that Yao Yilei and Jian Bing don't know, but Liu Ting knows them all.
"Speaking of which, you and Bai Yufang haven't known each other for a long time."
"Yeah, it's only ten days and a half in total."
"Actually, it doesn't take ten days and a half to fall in love with someone.
Sometimes one glance is enough.
The key is, do you love her?"
Liu Ting said quietly.
Chen Zikun was startled, not expecting her to ask such a question.
"Don't answer hastily.
Two people come together, not necessarily out of love, parents' order to find a matchmaker, or for money, for power, and also for sympathy and guilt.
The relationship between you and Bai Yufang I don’t know what happened, but I feel that your feelings for her are not pure now, but have more compassion and love.”
"It is indeed not easy for Bai Yufang to support a theater troupe independently."
Chen Zikun said with emotion.
Liu Ting said: "So you want to help her.
You think that as long as you bring her into the harem, everything will be solved.
But have you asked her how she feels?
What she needs is an ordinary man who can share the joys and sorrows and run the troupe.
He is still a heroic man who fights in both the south and the north.
What she wants may not be what you can give her. " Chen Zikun was speechless.
Liu Ting continued: "I can see that Bai Yufang is a very strong woman.

She is somewhat similar to Sister Xiaoqing.
I believe she will not marry you.
If you really want to help them, you might as well find another way."
Method, I heard that the Eighth Route Army Office is holding an anti-Japanese performance, and the Qi Family Class may be useful.
Although it is a charity performance, it is a good opportunity to make a name for itself. " "Okay, I'll call Zhou Enlai tomorrow.
Thank you, Ting'er."
Chen Zikun said with relief.
Liu Ting smiled: "No need to thank me, just don't blame Sister Lei and Sister Bing.
They are also doing it for your own good and for the good of this family.
After all, Bai Yufang is no better than Sister Xiaoqing.
She is your first love and her social status is "It's too low.
It won't be good for anyone if she enters the Chen family, and she herself won't feel comfortable."
I understand that Leilei and Jian Bing both have good intentions.
"Chen Zikun said.
"As long as you understand, go upstairs."
Liu Ting got up and went upstairs.
Chen Zikun sat downstairs for a while, then went upstairs and quietly opened Liu Ting's bedroom door.
The door was unlocked and ajar.
Liu Ting's method was the most reliable.
The Eighth Route Army Office and the National Government Propaganda Department jointly organized an anti-Japanese charity performance.
Many student organizations, poetry clubs, and literary and art clubs actively participated.
The Qi Family Troupe is a traditional opera troupe with solid basic skills.
They are much better than these guest actors who play for tickets.
Although it is a voluntary performance, after they have gained a reputation, they have crossed the threshold to ask them to act.
It was a cold day and the boat was no longer needed.
The whole Qi family troupe moved to the hotel and were busy rehearsing and performing all day long.
Luo Xiaolou also came from Wanxian County.
The troupe experienced a near-miss.
People's hearts are more united than before.
Bai Yufang is very pleased to see the colorful banknotes coming in, but occasionally she feels that a certain place in her heart is empty.
Chen Zikun's new position has not been confirmed, so he has to stay at home and occasionally go to see Qi Jiaban's performances.
However, Bai Yufang avoids him every time, and even Xiu'er avoids him.
Shuangxi came back after a long time and brought news about Jiangbei.
Gai Longquan and Chen Shou were unwilling to leave their hometown and persisted in guerrilla warfare there.
Liu Xiaoyong disappeared and was last seen with Zheng Zeru.
The other brothers were dead and injured.
Jiangbei had already Completely fallen.
People have become accustomed to the pain caused by war.
Life and death are commonplace.
People who die many times must persist in living.
Chen Zikun receives a fixed salary from the Ministry of War every month.
Since he has no specific position, he does not receive subsidies such as carriage and horse fees.
Prices are getting higher and higher, and the salary is simply not enough to support family expenses.
According to Song Ziwen, the Ministry of Finance expressed its willingness to purchase the machinery and equipment shipped by Chen Zikun from Jiangbei at the price of scrap iron.
Although he was very unwilling to do so, under this situation, it would be better to let the machines be scrapped than to sell them half and give them to the country.

Chen Zikun was not too reluctant.
Take it seriously and tell Liu Ting to handle the matter.
A week later, Liu Ting placed a piece of Central Daily News in front of Chen Zikun, and a message was published in a prominent position on the second page: "With the coordination of various parties and the efforts of the Materials Committee, a set of electrical equipment was imported from Hong Kong.
From then on, Chongqing Power outages will be greatly reduced, which will effectively support military production and the cause of anti-Japanese war.”
Chen Zikun wondered: "What do you mean?"
Liu Ting said: "There is no ship connection between Hong Kong and Chongqing, and airplanes cannot transport equipment as large as steam turbines.
I am not a villain.
These bureaucrats in charge of supplies will do whatever they can.
I am afraid of them."
Chen Zikun was not stupid.
He immediately thought that the batch of machinery and equipment he had scrapped were all needed by the electric lighting factory.
"Let's go take a look."
Chen Zikun grabbed his hat.
Taking Liu Ting and Shuangxi, they drove to the suburban electric light factory.
The so-called electric light factory is actually the common name of the power plant.
Since the Nanjing government moved westward, Chongqing's power gap has become larger and larger, and power outages have occurred from time to time.
Installed capacity has become a top priority, but during the war, water and land transportation was inconvenient, import channels had been interrupted, and power generation equipment could not be produced on its own, so there was no way to do it.
When the factory director saw Chen Zikun coming to inspect, he hurriedly accompanied him personally and answered all questions.
Chen Zikun asked some casual business questions and asked to see the newly purchased equipment.
The factory director looked a little unnatural and said that the equipment had not been sorted out yet and was in a mess that was unsightly.
"It doesn't matter, I have personally built a power plant in Beitai, so there is nothing to worry about if the construction site is messy."
Chen Zikun said.
Since he was so insistent, the factory director had no choice but to take him to the back warehouse for inspection.
The open-air warehouse of the electric light factory was filled with a large amount of coal for power generation.
There was an awning next to it.
Under the shed were more than a dozen tattered wooden boxes and two rusty wooden boxes.
The stained steam turbine unit.
Chen Zikun stepped forward to observe, and couldn't help but feel angry.
The steam turbine was moved from Chaotianmen Wharf.
The nests made by wild cats were still vaguely visible inside.
Those wooden boxes even had the mark of Beitai Electric Power Company on them.
These so-called The equipment imported from Hong Kong is simply replacing the old with the new.
"I would like to ask, how to use such equipment?"
Chen Zikun looked at the factory director coldly.
"I have no choice but to throw them away.
The Materials Committee sent these things for us to use as appropriate.
I want to clean the rust and use them as spare parts."
"Isn't this deceiving the people?"
Chen Zikun took out the Central Daily News and flicked it.
The factory director smiled apologetically: "There is no other way.
Materials are in short supply, and it is very difficult to get these things.
I don't know how much national money and energy the comrades of the Materials Committee have spent."
Chen Zikun sneered, asked Liu Ting to take out her camera and take pictures of all the equipment in the warehouse, and then walked away.
After the photos were developed, Chen Zikun took the Central Daily News and the photos directly to Yu Youren, the director of the Supervision Bureau.
Yu Youren is an old member of the alliance.

He is a white-bearded immortal with an upright character.
When he saw Chen Zikun come to the door, he was surprised.
He laughed and said: "Isn't this the Flying Tiger God General?"
Chen Zikun did not dare to ask for help, so he held the disciple ceremony and called him Gong.
After some pleasantries, he revealed his intention.
He was an alternate supervisory committee member of the Kuomintang, and it was his duty to report lawlessness.
After reading the newspapers and photos, Yu Youren frowned.
Also screwed up.
"The country is in danger, and some people are still struggling to make money.
Ren Gong, we can't just sit idly by and do nothing."
Chen Zikun said righteously and sternly.
Yu Youren looked solemn and picked up the phone: "Call me to the Law Enforcement Department of the Supervisory Yuan."
The Supervisory Yuan intervened and arrested the relevant personnel of the Materials Committee.
After verification, it was found that someone had indeed purchased Chen Zikun's equipment at the price of scrap metal, then transferred it to a leather goods company, and then sold it to the Materials Committee in the name of imported materials from Hong Kong.
As soon as you enter and leave, the price alone has increased tenfold.
Not counting the fictitious transportation costs, a rough calculation shows that the relevant personnel profited from it to the tune of millions.
This was a shocking case, and Xinhua Daily, controlled by the Communist Party, reported it immediately.
Public resentment boiled over, and calls for the execution of corrupt officials filled the capital.
When Chiang Kai-shek learned of the situation, he was furious and ordered strict punishment.
The Materials Committee of the Ministry of Finance was taken over, and the relevant responsible persons were killed and shut down.
The Minister of Finance Kong Xiangxi was also severely scolded by Chiang Kai-shek.
He could not help but vent his anger on the instigator Chen Zikun.
However, now that Chen Zikun is in the limelight, there is nothing he can do but bury his hatred in heart.
Chen Zikun is still unaware of all this and is still immersed in the pride of getting rid of corrupt officials.
Calculating the time, Yan'er has already arrived in the United States to meet Xiaobei.
The distance is thousands of miles away, and telegraphs are blocked.
The letter has to be sent by sea and mail, and it will take at least a month to arrive in New York.
This time, the mistake is completely made.
Chen Zikun personally revised a letter, Let Jianbing be sent to Hong Kong and sent to the United States through the British postal system to inform the two children that he is still alive.
His calculation was correct.
At this time, the cruise ship Yan'er was riding happened to sail into New York.
The Statue of Liberty still stood at the mouth of the Hudson River, and Manhattan was still singing and dancing, and there was a peaceful atmosphere.
There were four large black Cadillacs on the dock, sent by the Pacino family of the New York Mafia to pick up Yan'er.
There was also an inconspicuous Chevrolet parked not far away, and two FBI agents were holding it.
Sitting in the car with binoculars and cameras, one of the guys muttered, "God knows what these Italians are up to."
The cruise ship docked, and passengers who had traveled across the ocean filed off.
The Pacino family boarded the ship to pick them up.
The surveillance agents raised their binoculars and nearly choked on the sip of coffee they just drank.
"Oh my god, they picked up an angel."
Another agent grabbed the telescope and looked at it.
The mafia gangsters surrounded a beautiful Asian girl in simple clothes and came down the gangway
