Chapter 182: Warlord Young Commander vs. Shanghai's No. 1 Socialite 6
A week later, the official appointment order of Chun Juntang as the director of the Finance Department appeared in the newspapers, and invitations to various banquets flew to the Chun family villa like snowflakes.
Chun Nianren sat in the small garden, holding a yellow rose in her hand, pinching the scissors to cut it diagonally and trim the excess branches and leaves.
The flower table was piled with roses of various colors and grasses, and next to it was a stack of invitations.
After the last dinner, a photo of Chun Nianren and Shen Tingzhou taken while shopping was published in Linglong Magazine.
She has good bones and muscles, a beautiful posture, and the hem of her white long skirt has an elegant curve.
In a short time, Chunnianren's name became famous in Shanghai and she was highly praised. She was the daughter of a prominent family and the pearl of Shanghai.
Chun Zhiyi was lying lazily on a long garden chair. The bandage on her head was gone, leaving a purple bruise on her forehead. She was holding a white rose in her hand, tearing off the petals out of boredom.
Chun Yuqing sat next to Chun Nianren, looking through the invitation letter and told Chun Nianren about it.
"This is the home of Commander Jiang. The second son of Commander Jiang will be back from England next week. Commander Jiang's wife has been making a fuss at home for most of the month. She doesn't want him to continue studying physics in England, so she wants to force him to come back and get married and keep him in Shanghai."
Chun Zhiyi threw the bare stems in her hand onto the pile of waste branches and leaves, then reached out to pick some up and told them.
"The Jiang family arranged a marriage for Jiang Er a few years ago. The daughter of the Zhao family is now an English teacher at a girls' high school."
Haru and Haru clapped her hands.
"You know again?"
Chun Zhiyi had no choice but to give up, and put his hands under his head, feeling very proud.
"Who am I? As long as I can go out, I know whose family's affairs I don't know."
"The Jiang family probably wants to take this opportunity to let Mr. Jiang meet his fiancée and see if they can keep him."
Haru and Qing put down the invitation and opened another one.
"Hmm? A welcoming dinner?"
She looked at Chun Nianren.
"Sister, this is from the military government. Foreign guests are visiting and they invite you to attend the welcoming dinner and serve as an interpreter for our representatives."
Chun Nianren stopped scissors and put the flowers in her hand into the French relief vase on the table. A bunch of yellow roses were placed between orchid leaves and grass, which was romantic.
"When?"
Haru and Haru checked the time.
“Also next week.”
Chun Nianren was previously assigned to be Shen Tingzhou's secretary, but he had his own adjutant office, and secretary was just a title for the two to interact with each other on a daily basis.
For example, yesterday Governor Shen sent Shen Tingzhou to Peking, so she couldn't really go with him for the meeting.
"Uuuuuu——"
At the train station, the whistle stopped and a special train entered the station and slowly stopped.
Shen Zhongqing's adjutant was waiting under the rain corridor. He looked at the man coming down and saluted, "Young Marshal!"
Shen Tingzhou nodded and raised his hand to signal.
Adjutant Sun handed a blue document to the other party.
Adjutant Wang took it, paused, and said, "Young Marshal, there is one more thing."
Shen Tingzhou raised his eyes, looked at the sky outside the tall and wide rain corridor with an unclear expression, straightened his sleeves, and waited for him to continue.
"Tonight, a banquet will be held in the British Concession to welcome foreign guests. The Governor has instructed that you will attend as a representative."
After saying this, Adjutant Wang saluted with his boots, then turned and left.
The sky was gradually darkening, and the chandelier hanging on the rain porch suddenly lit up.
Shen Tingzhou's face showed an indifferent expression.
"Let's go."
He took a few steps and stepped into the car parked next to him.
Yuebin Building.
A young man drove a convertible and stopped at the gate. He had a slicked-back hair and powdered face, wore a pair of black round sunglasses, and had a cigar in his mouth.
He pushed the door open, jumped out of the car, threw the car keys to the receptionist, and gave him a tip.
"Has Miss Chun San arrived?"
"Mr. Zhang, the three young ladies of the Chun family are here."
Zhang Qisong pulled up one corner of his mouth and smiled a little wickedly.
A chandelier made of four layers of crystal ice bars hung from the ceiling of the banquet hall. On the long tables were displays of roses, lilies, phalaenopsis and various flowers, as well as exquisite Western desserts.
Waiters walked around carrying trays, serving champagne and red wine.
Chun Nian came because of the government invitation, and Chun Yuqing came for socializing. The Chun family is very popular recently, and invitations to banquets are always given to the Chun family.
Chun Zhiyi really couldn't stay at home and insisted on coming.
"It's quite stylish."
Zhang Qisong approached the banquet hall, looked around, ignored everyone else, found Chun Zhiyi, and walked towards her with his back teeth protruding.
"Miss Chun San, are you healed?"
Chun Zhiyi was happily eating a piece of strawberry cake when someone came over to spoil her fun. She stabbed the strawberry with her cake fork and looked unhappy.
"Young Master Zhang, this is a welcoming banquet hosted by the Governor's Mansion. You can't be confused about who you are, right?"
Shen Qisong looked her up and down in a very rude manner, and said with a fake smile: "Miss San, don't be anxious, I just came to recognize people and meet Miss Chun, so that I can show my courtesy when I see her outside in the future."
Chun Zhiyi picked up the strawberry and ate it, and the small silver fork pointed behind him.
"Mr. Zhang, look at that!"
Zhang Qisong turned around indifferently, with the smile frozen on his face.
Shen Tingzhou was wearing a neat military uniform, with a beautiful woman standing beside him.
The two are cold in different ways.
Shen Tingzhou has a murderous aura and is cold even without smiling.
The beauty has a calm look in her eyes and a cool demeanor.
Young Master Zhang's face shuddered, and the vanity that emanated from all the makeup and cosmetics he wore from head to toe became even more greasy and stumbling.
"Xian...Xianlin."
Shen Tingzhou knew what happened between the Chun and Zhang families a few days ago. Zhang Liechen was an experienced man.
Shen Tingzhou shook the red wine glass in his hand, looked at Zhang Qisong leisurely, and suddenly kindly informed him.
"Commander Zhang said he would send you to Baoding to study at the military academy, and the new term will start soon."
Zhang Qisong's face turned pale. Military academy! What kind of place is a military academy? If you go in, you will die or lose a layer of skin!
Chun Nianren had just accompanied Shen Tingzhou to meet the British Consul General and foreign guests. His few direct and sharp words made her job easy.
But he never showed his emotions on his face. She could feel that he was angry deep down, but she didn't know why.
She looked at Zhang Qisong calmly, speaking slowly and gently with excellent upbringing.
"Young Master Zhang is looking for me? What's the matter?"
Zhang Qisong is not afraid of the Chun family, but the old man in his family is scared to death. Not only does he not dare to compete with the Shen family, he even doesn't dare to compete with the Chun family.
He smiled with clenched teeth, thinking of the praise that the outside world had given to Chunnian in recent days.
"Qisong wants to see the beauty of the eldest daughter of the Chun family, the new cover girl of Linglong magazine, the daughter of a famous family, the pearl of Shanghai."
"Tsk!"
Chun Zhiyi looked at him as if he were a pig, shaking his head again and again, "Stupid pig, stupid pig."
Zhang Qisong endured it, snorted coldly, then turned and left.
Came in a high profile and left in a mess.
Chun Zhiyi has the best of time, place and people. If she were in another place today and there weren't so many people around her who could use her power to bully others, she wouldn't be able to say these words.
She smiled as if she had won a battle, walked up to Chun Nianren, hugged her arm, and stood beside her.
"Sister, does the perfume I put on today smell good?"
Chun Nianren's eyes were startled, and because Chun Zhiyi was approaching, a whiff of perfume touched her sense of smell.
On the other side, Shen Tingzhou had a clear memory and smelled the fragrance coming from him. It was the bottle of fragrance he gave to Chun Nianren as a meeting gift last time. The manager of the department store gave her a sample of perfume that day and he smelled it nearby.
I didn't smell it when I met the consul and foreign guests just now, but now this fragrance seems to appear in my nose.
As he recalled, the fresh fruity aroma became deeper.
Chun Zhiyi was still chattering beside Chun Nianren.
"Just now, several young ladies asked me what perfume I was wearing. I was happy to share it with them. I told them that it was a bottle of high-end French perfume that was hard to find in Wing On Department Store. My eldest sister gave it to me."
She couldn't stop talking like pouring beans, word by word came out in a crackling manner.
Chun Nianren slowly turned his head and met Shen Tingzhou's deep and playful eyes.
