Respectfully

Li Jinyan found that his good intentions were all in vain. He wanted to have a frank and honest talk with others. Others may not understand his painstaking efforts, but instead accused him of having ulterior motives!

"Shen has the trust of the Marshal, and in order to repay the Marshal, he will never let someone with ulterior motives seize the Lou family's property!"

Shen Zeping, the deputy manager of the western medicine factory, spoke coldly, not only did he not have any respect for Li Jinyan, but instead showed hostility and contempt.

Li Jinyan frowned, did he offend this person?Where does his hostility come from?Yesterday it was just picking on him, why did it suddenly look like a class struggle today?Looking around at everyone, from the deputy manager of the western medicine factory to the three workshop directors below, plus the financial manager, except for Director Zhao of the first workshop, the others all avoided his sight, as if no one would offend.

Li Jinyan's face darkened, did he really think he was a soft persimmon that could be pinched casually?Who is the person with ulterior motives in Shen Zeping's mouth, him?It just doesn't make sense!

"Manager Shen, do you know what you're talking about?" Li Jinyan was no longer polite, and he was almost slapped in the face, but he still greeted him with a smile?It's not that the head was kicked by the donkey.

"Of course Shen knows it, and Young Master Yan must also know it."

After being stunned for a moment, Li Jinyan suddenly felt a little funny. Is there a black hole in this person's head?He conspired to seize the Lou family's business?

"Deputy manager Shen, did you make a mistake? I have ulterior motives to seize the Lou family's business, but you are dedicated to your duty?" Li Jinyan sneered, "What position do you use to say these words? Have you forgotten your last name? gone?"

"you?!"

"What am I?!" Li Jinyan stood up suddenly, looked directly at Shen Zeping, and said word by word: "I'm asking you, have you forgotten your last name and who I am?"

Shen Zeping seemed to have thought that Li Jinyan would say such a thing a long time ago, his expression remained unchanged, "You are the young lady of the Lou family, but you are a man!"

The meaning in the words was obvious, he didn't believe that Li Jinyan would be of one mind with the Lou family, Li Jinyan was a man, and his commitment to the Lou family was most likely due to the power of the Lou family.Now that Grand Marshal Lou has an accident, it is still unknown whether Young Marshal Lou is young and can support the six northern provinces.Shen Zeping, like Li Jinyan, knew the importance of the western medicine factory to Lou's family, so even if he got a bad name, he would drive Li Jinyan out of the medicine factory!

Shen Zeping put himself in the position of a loyal minister of the Lou family, but he forgot one thing, maybe he deliberately ignored it. What is the difference between what he is doing at this moment and those who have ulterior motives?

"So what?" Li Jinyan was not angry at Shen Zeping's words, but calmed down, "My identity will not change because of this, my surname is now Lou!"

When the words fell, Li Jinyan glanced at the crowd, and his tone changed suddenly, "I am the Lou family, and I would take away my own family property? It's ridiculous! In my opinion, there are people with ulterior motives, but that person will definitely not be me ! Who it is, you should know in your heart."

Li Jinyan's words were like a hammer, hitting everyone's heads one after another, they all looked at Shen Zeping in unison, could it be...

"You're slandering!" Shen Zeping said sharply, "Bloody spout!"

"Does Mr. Shen still know these two words?" Li Jinyan's address to Shen Zeping changed, "Now that you know it, you should understand that you should not do to others what you don't want to be done to others. Compared with you, I have a stronger position to doubt some people. He has bad intentions and wants to seize the Western Medicine Factory."

"You..." Shen Zeping pointed at Li Jinyan, his fingers trembling, "I, Shen Zeping, have followed the commander-in-chief for 30 years, and my loyalty to the commander-in-chief is undeniable. How can you, a yellow-mouthed kid, casually slander you!"

Li Jinyan smiled casually, and stretched out his hand to pick his ears, "Mr. Shen, the so-called loyalty and disloyalty are not up to you. Do you think that based on what you have done before, people will believe that you are loyal to the Lou family?" Loyalty? Is there a word for it, it seems to be trying to cover up? No, Sima Zhaozhi’s heart? No, a thief shouts to catch a thief? Well, it seems to be said like that. Mr. Shen, what do you think?"

Li Jinyan smiled very innocently, but he was so angry that he didn't pay for his life. Just kidding, if he can't clean up this old antique, his surname will not be Li!

However, Li Sanshao seems to have forgotten one thing, his surname is not Li now, his surname is Lou.

"You, you..." Shen Zeping was speechless, and he couldn't understand the way the others looked at him, as if he was really calling for a thief, and he wanted to push Li Jinyan out of the western medicine factory Going out is really for my own selfishness!

"Mr. Shen, I've already said what I need to say. Judging by your attitude, it seems that you still don't understand where you are wrong." Li Jinyan put away the smile on his face, and his attitude became serious, "Given what you did before Because of this, I think you are no longer suitable for the position of deputy manager of a pharmaceutical factory."

"What did you say?!" Not only Shen Zeping, but other people present were also stunned.

"Didn't hear clearly? Okay, let me say it again." Li Jinyan looked at Shen Zeping, and at the other people present, "You have been dismissed, now!"

"You don't have the right!" Shen Zeping raised his voice, "I belong to the Marshal! My position was appointed by the Marshal, and you have no qualifications!"

"I'm not qualified?" Li Jinyan smiled, "Mr. Shen, I don't have time to talk nonsense with you. I will give you two choices now, either go by yourself or I will call the guards."

Shen Zeping's face was livid, and he suddenly took out a revolver from his arms, and pointed the gun at Li Jinyan!

Everyone was shocked at the same time. Several workshop directors were old acquaintances of Shen Zeping. Seeing this scene, they quickly persuaded: "Old Shen, what are you doing? Put down the gun!"

"Old Shen, you can see clearly, it's Young Master Yan! Are you pointing a gun at Young Master Yan to rebel?"

Hearing Director Zhao's words from the first workshop, Li Jinyan glanced at him subconsciously. It seems that this person is not just a nice guy.Once the hat of rebellion is buckled, can Shen Zeping still have a good time?If he doesn't let him go, no matter whether he is a veteran or not, the whole family will probably be arrested.Of course, with this excuse, it is much more convenient for him to act on his own, and it is no longer difficult for others to make irresponsible remarks about him.

Is he trying to show his favor, or is there some other purpose?

It's a pity that the other people present were all focused on Shen Zeping, trying to persuade him, but no one noticed the hidden meaning in Director Zhao's words.Shen Zeping's face was ugly, his cheeks were tense, his finger was on the trigger but he didn't press it for a long time.

Li Jinyan stood in front of him, neither dodged nor panicked, just looked at him calmly, as if watching a buffoon on a stage.

With a bang, the door of the room was kicked open from the outside, and the Young Marshal Lou in military uniform appeared at the door. When Shen Zeping saw Lou Xiao, the hand holding the gun began to tremble. It's a change.

"Young Marshal, why are you here?" Li Jinyan didn't care that he was being pointed at by a gun, turned his head to look at Lou Marshal, his tone was very relaxed, "Can you find me for anything?"

Young Marshal Lou didn't speak, but walked over firmly step by step, the soles of his shoes knocked on the wooden floor, making muffled sounds, like knocking on everyone's hearts.

Walking closer, the big hand in white gloves held the barrel of the revolver, not caring whether the gun in Shen Zeping's hand would go off or not.At the same time, all the soldiers behind Young Marshal Lou unbolted their guns and pointed their guns at Shen Zeping.

"Young commander," Shen Zeping's face turned pale. "why is that?"

"Why?" Young Marshal Lou looked at him coldly: "You pointed a gun at my wife and asked me why?"

"Young commander, I'm not, I'm for the Lou family, I...he's a man, he can't be of one mind with the Lou family!"

Marshal Lou pushed hard with his big hands, and there was a clear sound of bones breaking, and he actually crushed Shen Zeping's fingers.

Shen Zeping didn't cry out in pain, and he didn't even change his expression, he just said over and over again, "I'm for the Lou family, and my loyalty to the commander-in-chief is beyond words!"

Marshal Lou let go of his hand, and the revolver fell to the ground with a blunt sound.Brother Bing standing behind Young Marshal Lou immediately stepped forward, grabbed Shen Zeping's arm and pushed him to the ground.

Li Jinyan said to Young Marshal Lou: "Young Marshal, I want to have a word with Mr. Shen."

Marshal Lou agreed, and Li Jinyan walked up to Shen Zeping, squatted down, looked at Shen Zeping at the same level, and said, "Mr. As you said, is it because you have no selfishness for the Lou family? In the end, you still think that I am not worthy to be on your head, right?"

Shen Zeping turned his head away, unwilling to listen to Li Jinyan at all.

Li Jinyan sighed, well, he has said all the good and bad things, and he just wants to go all the way to the dark, what can he do?I thought this matter could be resolved peacefully, but I didn't expect this guy to even pull out his gun.

Seeing Shen Zeping being escorted away by Brother Bing, Li Jinyan turned his head and asked Young Marshal Lou: "Young Marshal, what do you plan to do with him?"

"What do you say?"

"I said?" Li Jinyan rubbed his nose, "I can't kill him, can I?"

"it is good."

"What?" Li Jinyan was startled, "Young Marshal, I just said it casually, and I didn't intend to kill him. Besides, he is not guilty of doing this foolishly. At most, he will be locked up for a while, and when he wants to Just release it if you understand it?" After all, Shen Zeping is a veteran of Marshal Lou, so killing him like this will do no good to the Lou family and Marshal Lou.

"Not to kill?" Young Marshal Lou lowered his head, the shadow cast by the wide brim of his hat covered his brows and eyes, "He pointed a gun at you."

"Young Marshal, I don't believe you didn't find out." Li Jinyan curled his lips, "That gun didn't have the safety on at all. Mr. Shen was born in the army, right? He probably wouldn't make such a common-sense mistake, unless it was intentional."

Marshal Lou stared at Li Jinyan for a while, then nodded, but did not speak.

Li Jinyan heaved a sigh of relief. Although he was determined to deal ruthlessly with those who did not repent, the little old man Shen Zeping was indeed annoying, but he couldn't just give him a peanut just because of this, and spread the news about him. ?

"The roots of troubles?

Li Jinyan shuddered, struck by his own thoughts.

The soldiers following Young Marshal Lou have already gotten used to the way the young marshal and Young Master Yan get along, but this is the first time for the others in the room to see Li Jinyan's status in Lou's family. .

Especially the three workshop directors, who had an ambiguous attitude before, and the two people who planned to sit on the sidelines raised their hearts in their throats. Only the director of the first workshop, Mr. Zhao, was there, and he had already seen through it. Bring him down!How is it now?The man surnamed Shen was sent to prison, and he was released after being locked up for a period of time. How long is it not a matter of lip service?

A few days, a dozen days, dozens of days, or even years, even if he is locked up until he dies, as long as the young marshal doesn't speak, no one will dare to let him out.Besides, pointing a gun at the young lady of the Lou family is no different from rebellion in the eyes of outsiders.

So, these people who are used to relying on the old to sell the old, always can't see the situation clearly, and put their necks in the noose by themselves, who can save them?

Killing chickens to warn monkeys, Shen Zeping became the chicken that was killed, and the boss of the western medicine factory became the group of monkeys that were warned.

The chicken-killing knife was not held in Li Jinyan's hand, but when it fell, it was faster and more ruthless than his own. Is this the feeling of successfully hugging the thigh?Li Sanshao had to admit that this feeling was really great!

The matter of the western medicine factory has been temporarily resolved. I believe that with the precedent of Shen Zeping, no one will dare to be the second rafter in a short time.Li Jinyan did not appoint another deputy manager, and none of the three workshop directors was suitable for promotion. Besides, two of them were not clear about their attitudes before. Whether they should be allowed to go home to eat, I have to observe. The other... Li Jinyan pondered for a moment, maybe he should Let Uncle Dumb check this Director Zhao.

On the way back to the Marshal's Mansion, Young Marshal Lou did not ride a horse but drove in person. Li Jinyan sat beside him, looked at the profile of Young Marshal Lou, and suddenly asked, "Young Marshal, did you come here on purpose?"

"..."

"Worried about me?" Li Jinyan rubbed his chin, "No, I haven't told you about the Western Medicine Factory."

"..."

"Young commander, what do you say?"

"I am driving."

Li Jinyan: "..."

Rehe, the station of the Ninth Division of the Six Northern Provinces

The teacher, Meng Fu, waited anxiously in the room, pacing up and down.There was a knock on the door, and Meng Fu walked over quickly and opened the door. The person who came was Meng Chou, the brigade commander of the No. 70 Third Brigade of the Ninth Division, who was also Meng Fu's cousin.

Seeing that it was him, Meng Fu immediately pulled him into the room, closed the door, and asked, "How is it, has anyone seen it?"

"Don't mention it." Meng Chou walked to the table and sat down, took off his hat, "I waited for a long time in Qingyang Tea House, but I didn't even see a shadow. Cousin, it's not Xing who lied to you, right?"

Meng Fu's expression was gloomy, "I know Xing Changgeng, he is President Sima's confidant. How can he benefit from cheating me on this matter?"

"Then why are there no people?" Meng Chou was still complaining.

"This matter is indeed strange." Meng Fu walked a few steps with his hands behind his back, stood still, turned his head and said to Meng Chou, "In this way, you don't have to go in person tomorrow, but send some trustworthy people to guard Qingyang teahouse and say Don’t tell him he didn’t show up because he saw something was wrong.”

"wrong?"

"When you went out this time, didn't you pay attention to whether there was a tail behind you?"

"No, absolutely not!" Meng Chou said quickly; "This is a bad thing that will kill your head. How could I be confused."

"Be careful in everything." Meng Fu said: "If this thing is done well, we can reach the sky in one step! Xing Changgeng said, and President Sima promised that as long as we take refuge in the past, he will make me the commander-in-chief. Rehe is our brother. Yes! At that time, even Lou Xiao may not be able to do anything to catch me! If the news is accidentally leaked, even the President may not be able to save us."

"Cousin, I still feel that this matter..."

"Why, what do you want to say?" Meng Fu looked at Meng Chou with dark eyes.

Uncomfortable being stared at by Meng Fu, Meng Chou couldn't sit still on the chair, "I see, can't it be okay if I don't say anything!"

"Okay, then do as I say."

"understood."

Meng Fu and Meng Chou were talking in the room, and they didn't even notice that someone was listening to the corner of the wall. The person listening to the corner was none other than Meng Fu's confidant and adjutant.

That night, the other two brigade commanders of the Ninth Division and several regimental leaders under them gathered together. Meng Fu's adjutant told all the things he had heard during the day. Eyebrows raised: "Meng is not a thing! The commander-in-chief treats him well, is this how he repays the commander-in-chief?"

"If you want me to say, don't wait for the young marshal to speak, let's just tie those two surnamed Meng together!"

"No, if this matter goes wrong, it will cause trouble."

"I agree with Commander Pan's opinion. Why don't we just keep doing this and tie up the person first. We don't lack witnesses, physical evidence...they are all in our hands, are you afraid we won't be able to find them?"

Several regiment leaders argued with each other, but they all paid attention to lowering their voices. After a long while, one of them asked, "Traveler, what do you think about this matter?"

The two brigade commanders remained silent until the head of the regiment asked, and one of them said: "Meng is confused. We eat the food of the Lou family and carry the guns of the Lou family. The young commander is young and has military merits." But it’s the truth. Who wouldn’t admire that battle in Manchuria? Now that he wants to turn against the young commander and join Sima Jun, I’m often the first to say no!”

"Me too." Brigadier Xiao interjected, "Our Ninth Division started with the commander in chief. We have fought in the South and the North for so many years. We can't be blamed just because his surname is Meng!"

As soon as the two brigade commanders expressed their views, the regimental leaders below had the backbone, looked at each other, and heard that the brigade meant that they planned to do something?

"But the young commander-in-chief hasn't issued an order yet," said a regiment leader, "We're going to do it now, will we startle the snake?"

"No." Brigadier Xiao said, "Meng Fu thought he could cover the sky in Rehe? He forgot that there is Dai Guorao in Rehe!"

"Governor Dai?"

"Dai Guorao and Lou's family are in-laws, and his brother is also the teacher of the Tenth Division. He is the same in Rehe. He is ready to attack the surnamed Meng. We just need to cooperate to catch the turtle. The two surnames None of Meng can escape!"

"This matter, let's do this..."

On the Russian border, a group of soldiers is patrolling the west bank of the Ergun River.These border troops guarding the Far East, from equipment to monthly supplies, are inferior to their colleagues in Europe. The only thing that can be compared is probably their drinking capacity.

"Sergey, haven't those yellow-skinned monkeys picked any trouble recently?"

"Who knows." The soldier named Sergey casually walked a few steps by the river, suddenly noticed something, quickly pulled the bolt of the gun, and aimed the gun at the middle of the river.

"Sergey, why are you crazy and want to go fishing with a gun?"

"There is someone in the river!"

"Are you kidding, such a rushing river, no matter how good the water quality is..."

The Russian soldier who was speaking was suddenly stunned. He saw that there was really someone in the river, a black-haired woman!
