Chapter 611: Xinhua Director
Should I be the Director of Hua?
Lu Xiyan also weighed in his heart that he is also a member of the Chinese Tax Payment Association in the French Concession, and he is also a representative, and he was chosen last year.
According to the Articles of Association, Huadong is selected by all members of the Chinese Tax Payment Association, but must be nominated among the representatives.
If you count the qualification, Lu Xiyan can count it only.
However, in the taxpayer, he was considered a young junior. Hua Dong has always been a respected person. He thought he could serve as an advisor at most one of the nine committees under the Public and Directors Bureau.
With his current occupation and identity, the Works and Police Commission or the Health Commission will choose one of two, and it is more likely to be a big deal.
However, he knew that in general, he would always find one or two people to run with him for elections. In order to ensure that the one who wants to choose must be chosen, the one who runs with him is relatively weak, which is the most advantageous.
Now, I have tried my best to choose, but I may not get anything. The one who runs with me has hope.
What's this called?
"You are the only one left now. Lao Lu, this opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Once you miss it, it will never be there again." Tang Jin said.
"It's so sudden, I have to think about it. You know, I'm not very interested in politics." Lu Xiyan said.
"But we need our voice in the Public and Directors Bureau." Tang Jin said.
"Don't worry, I'll consider it."
"Then you think about it as soon as possible, time will not wait for anyone."
...
"Sir, I'm back."
"Old Ma, your legs and feet are not well yet, so don't come out to greet me." Lu Xiyan got out of the car and saw Lao Ma coming out to greet him with a cane. He hurried over and helped him.
"The old cat is leaving tomorrow, so I must meet you today." Lao Ma leaned over slightly and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
"Okay, I understand, I'll make arrangements." Lu Xiyan nodded.
He also has many things to report to his superiors. Laomao hasn't left yet, so he can talk to Laomao directly. Tonight's celebration of the French party is an opportunity.
"Brother Tang, come in and sit for a while?"
"No, I have something to do with my French arrest room." Tang Jin turned the car one head and came over, "Don't forget that at the evening cocktail party, Consul General Oqi, British and American diplomats stationed in Shanghai will come."
"knew."
...
After working hard all the way, Lu Xiyan was a little tired. He went upstairs and took a shower and slept until 4:30 in the afternoon. In fact, he had only slept for two hours.
Because I have to attend events at night, I can't sleep anymore.
However, after two hours of sleep, Lu Xiyan's mental state was much better than when he first came back. After more than 20 days of high-intensity work in the isolation area, he lost 15 kilograms.
Originally, it was less than 130 kilograms, but now it is only over 110 kilograms. When I reach out, I can touch the bones. I feel so distressed that Meng Fanxing burst into tears.
"Stop crying, it's just that some meat has fallen out, it's not that it can't grow back. Make me a little more delicious food. In a week, the meat will be guaranteed to be back." Lu Xiyan reached out to wipe away the tears from the corners of Meng Fanxing's eyes.
Meng Fanxing never shed tears in front of outsiders. Only in front of her family and him can she reveal the softness of a woman.
"If there is such a thing again, I will definitely accompany you!" Meng Fanxing hugged Lu Xiyan from behind and said.
"Okay, I will take you everywhere I go."
"..." Although I knew that Lu Xiyan was coaxing her, Meng Fanxing was still very moved.
"Thank you for your hard work these days."
"It's not hard, as long as you are here, I will not work hard for anything."
"You also prepare. Tonight, we are the protagonists and dress up beautifully." Lu Xiyan turned around and kissed his wife gently on her smooth forehead.
"Um."
...
"Sir, as you told me, I have cleared out the underground warehouse of Meng'an Company headquarters. What are you going to do?" Yan Lei asked curiously.
"I need a very reliable group of people to keep it absolutely confidential."
“How many people do you need?”
"No need to have more, about 6 to 8 people, that's enough." Lu Xiyan said, "I want to build a laboratory to study cholera bacteria."
"You want to study cholera germs?" Yan Lei was startled.
"Yan Lei, what I said to you now, you don't allow a word to be leaked." Lu Xiyan explained, "I suspect that this time the cholera epidemic broke out in counties and districts near Shanghai was artificially released..."
After hearing this, Yan Lei was shocked and his hair stood up and he was stunned.
"Sir, who dares to do this? Isn't he afraid of retribution?"
"What do you think?"
"Japanese?" There seems to be no other answer to choose besides this.
"Although we guessed it was artificial and there was some evidence, we did not have direct evidence to prove all this. Therefore, we have to start from the variant Vibrio cholerae discovered this time. I have asked Brother Ding Er and Brother Huang San to go to other isolation areas to collect samples. I built this secret laboratory to prove our guess through scientific methods. If it weren't for the cholera erupting in the same place, the reason for tempting them was the same, which can prove that this was a man-made conspiracy." Lu Xiyan explained.
"Sir, I understand. I will personally select personnel for this matter. Internally, it can be said that the company is developing a new drug. Is that okay?"
"It's OK, but don't say it to the inside now." Lu Xiyan said.
"yes."
"Xiyan, how do you think I'll wear this one at night?" Meng Fanxing came in from outside, wearing a silk cheongsam embroidered with elegant lotus flowers. His slanted bangs covered his left forehead. His slight waves were curled down behind his head, with elegant temperament and intellectuality.
"Yes, Meimei, you must be the most beautiful one in the audience today." Lu Xiyan's eyes lit up.
"Really?" Meng Fanxing's eyes were as bright as stars.
"Of course, you are the most beautiful in my heart."
"Then I'll wear this outfit." Meng Fanxing went happily wearing slippers.
"What are you looking at?"
Yan Lei hurriedly said: "Women are to please themselves, and their wife is getting more and more beautiful."
"Well, you have to say it." Lu Xiyan smiled, "By the way, how is your relationship with Tian Rui?"
"Sir, how do you know?" Yan Lei's cheeks turned red.
"A beautiful lady, a gentleman, you are a married woman. You are also at the age of marriage. If you don't have physical problems and don't find a girlfriend, I'm worried if you have sexual orientation." Lu Xiyan smiled.
"I haven't told her about this..."
"I know everything. You are interested in others. You haven't spoken to them yet?" Lu Xiyan was unwilling to interfere in such a thing. After all, love is a private matter between the two of them, but Yan Lei's moji really made him unable to bear it.
"There is an hour left now. You go, pick up someone from get off work, buy a beautiful piece of clothing, and attend a cocktail party together in the evening." Lu Xiyan said.
"Sir, isn't this suitable?"
"What's wrong with it? You are also the general manager of my Meng'an Company. This time, you have made great efforts in the post-provisional guarantee work of the volunteer medical team. You are also a family member. You are qualified to attend the celebration party tonight. How can you not have a female companion? I will teach you this reason?" Lu Xiyan said in a tone of regret.
"I……"
"What do I do? This is an order. If you don't bring Tian Rui over tonight, I will transfer someone to you tomorrow. Do you believe it?" Lu Xiyan threatened.
"Sir, can't I go there if I don't take you like this?"
"That's right. Go quickly, go quickly, don't come back, pick up someone and go directly to the French Guild Hall." Lu Xiyan smiled.
"I have long seen that Yan Lei is interested in Tian Rui. The girl doesn't seem to refuse, but this kid just refuses to speak. No girl speaks first, and I can't say anything about him." Meng Fanxing couldn't help but smile when he heard Lu Xiyan say that he forced Yan Lei to pick Tian Rui up.
"This kid is all good, but he is a little timid in terms of his emotions." Lu Xiyan said, "If he doesn't take the initiative, the good girl will be snatched away by others."
"Where is Xiao Wu?"
"Xiao Wu has washed the car and will come back to pick us up later." Meng Fanxing explained.
"Well, I'll go change my clothes."
...
The celebration reception was very grand. Almost all the political and business people in the French Concession had acquaintances with Lu Xiyan. Dong Aoqi, acting consul general and general director of the Public and Directors Bureau of the French Consulate General in Shanghai, attended the event, and diplomats from some European and American consulates also attended, including the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce, the French Concession Taxpayers Association, the Physicians Association and other social groups and organizations, as well as news media. There were about two hundred people.
The Public and Directors Office organized this cocktail party for Lu Xiyan, which was also considered a friendship. Basically, the people attending were all good friends whom everyone thought they were good friends.
So, the atmosphere is very good and everyone gets along well.
"Lu, we all hope that you can serve as Director Hua of the Public Affairs Bureau." Director Aoqi met with Lu Xiyan at the cocktail party and made a request to him in person.
"I have little experience. If I become Director Hua, I'm afraid someone will not accept it." Lu Xiyan did not refuse, but did not agree immediately.
"Lu, if you become Director Hua, your voice in the Public Directorate Bureau will increase in the future, and it will be very helpful to our 'Housing Project' project." Oqi said solemnly.
"I understand that I may not be able to serve as Director Hua, and this is not something I can personally decide." Lu Xiyan nodded. Of course, he understood that having Director Hua's identity would definitely help him in his career in the concession and would reduce many unnecessary troubles, and even the Japanese would be afraid of it.
"Don't worry, no one is more suitable than you. Your reputation is right now." Oqi said, "As long as you nod, you can hold a Chinese taxpayer meeting tomorrow and elect you as Director Hua."
"Well, if everyone needs me to contribute to all Chinese who pay taxes in the French Concession, I will naturally have no choice." Lu Xiyan nodded.
"Dong Lu is so young and promising!"
"Old Mrs. Qi is polite. I will be a little bit late. I need you to support you. Besides, I am not Hua Dong yet, so I can't call him that."
"Tomorrow is here." Old Taoist Qi, one of the Chinese Presidents in the French Concession.
"Yes, Old Lu Dong was assassinated by the Japanese, and we welcomed Xiao Lu Dong again. This is a happy event." Another Hua Dong Dong Zhang Yishu said.
"Dong Zhang has ruined me. Senior Lu Bohong is my role model." Lu Xiyan hurriedly said.
"When will Mr. Xiao Lu have an exclusive interview with our Havas News Agency?" Zhang Yishu asked with a smile.
“It’s OK at any time.”
"Haha, okay, Xiao Lu Dong is so happy. You just came back and have a lot of things to deal with. Let's do it like this. Let's find a place to chat until next weekend?" Zhang Yishu asked.
"Okay, Mr. Zhang said it's time, I will definitely go to the appointment on time." Lu Xiyan nodded.
"Old Qian said that with the three of us supporting you, even if the Zhang surnamed Zhang is in trouble, it will not stop you from being elected by-election. Besides, Consul Oqi also supports you. You will definitely win at tomorrow's by-election conference." Old Qi smiled.
