Shadow Spy

Chapter 62 Kong’s brother and sister Song’s son

"Hi! King, you speak Chinese so well. How long have you been studying it?" A square-faced girl in her 20s with short hair, dressed in men's clothing, said first.

Linda introduced from the side: "This is Miss Kong Lingwei."

"Hello, Miss Kong Er, I have learned this since I was a child, but it can only be regarded as an ordinary level!" Li Junhao said, it turns out that this is the famous tomboy in the Republic of China!His name is Kong Lingwei, also known as Kong Lingjun.

"Mr. Pan Sen is so humble! If you just listen to your accent, you wouldn't be able to tell that you are a foreigner!" Another woman in a cheongsam who was a few years older said.

Seeing the similarity between this person's eyebrows and Kong Lingwei, Li Junhao stopped Linda who wanted to introduce him and said with a smile: "This should be Miss Kong! In fact, it's nothing. In terms of language, I'm pretty good at it." You must have some talent, and you’ll become fluent if you speak a lot.”

He guessed correctly, these two are Kong Xiangxi's two daughters, the eldest daughter, 24-year-old Kong Lingyi, and the second daughter, 20-year-old Kong Lingwei. Standing next to them are 21-year-old Kong Lingkan, 18-year-old Kong Lingjie, and Kong Xiangxi 's two sons.It seems that the four young ladies and young masters of the Kong family are all here together.

Then, Linda introduced them, and sure enough, these were the four siblings of the Kong family. Unexpectedly, they got together and chatted so congenially.

However, Li Junhao knew that the Kong family were not easy-going people. They were dandy and greedy for money. They were "very famous" in the history of the Republic of China. He did not want to have too much contact with them.But seeing Linda's happy look, he didn't want to hurt her. Anyway, in the past few days, the delegation's trip was over and she had returned to the United States, so she was too lazy to do anything else.

But what he didn't expect was that the Kong siblings were very interested in him and started chatting around him, which made it difficult for him to leave for a while and made him feel unhappy.

Linda was still very sensitive, and soon discovered this situation. From a distance, she saw her father, Lister, and Dean Kong, who seemed to have finished talking about the matter and were walking aside alone, and said, "Guys, I'm sorry. , I want to go to see my father with King, let’s talk later..." After saying that, he nodded to a few people and pulled Li Junhao towards Lister.In this case, of course the Kong family siblings couldn't stop them and could only watch them leave.

Lister saw the two of them coming and said with a smile: "What's the matter, don't you like those young people?"

"I think they're pretty good, but King doesn't seem to like them," Linda said.

"Too greedy!" Li Junhao only said one sentence.

Lister was a little puzzled. After all, he knew that his daughter and Ognyan had just come into contact with the children of the Kong family. Was it too early to make a judgment?So he said: "Little Ogg, are you too sensitive? I heard that Mr. Kong Xiangxi was born in China... Oh, it's called the 'sage' family!" Li Junhao shook his head, organized some measures and said: "Rister, do you know that there is an old saying in China, 'A dragon gives birth to nine sons, each of whom is different'? Not to mention Dean Kong Xiangxi who claims to be the fifth generation grandson of Kong Sage No. 70. In my opinion , his four children are not as good as him!"

Lister took some effort to understand what he said and couldn't help but laugh and said: "It seems that I can't keep up with you in my understanding of Chinese culture! I believe what you say, but in business, because Confucius We still have to face up to the dean’s position in China’s current political environment. We still need to face up to his energy and role. Little Ogg, as a diplomat, this should also be taken seriously.”

Li Junhao agreed with this. The current political environment of the Republic of China is like this. The four families of Chiang, Song, Kong, and Chen cannot be circumvented in various fields such as politics, military, economy, and espionage!Fortunately, he is only in Chongqing temporarily this time and will return to Shanghai soon. The complex interpersonal relationships here, the dandies and private fights among various powerful families have nothing to do with him.
-
Because Foreign Minister Wang Chonghui was attending the San Francisco World Expo in the United States (taking advantage of this grand event to expose the atrocities of Japanese aggression and win international sympathy), the local diplomatic work was handled by Kong Xiangxi, the acting executive president, so after talking with List, he immediately found After falling in love with the US Ambassador Johnson, although he knew that he could not change the isolationist policy pursued by the United States, he always tried his best not to do so.

After Song Ziwen finished communicating with the Citibank representative, he brought red wine and approached Riester, who was chatting with Li Junhao and Linda.Speaking of which, Song Ziwen traveled back and forth between the two countries many times, and had met with Lister several times. Of course, he wanted to come over and talk about old times. "Well, Mr. List, I haven't seen you for a long time, but you still look good!"

"Well, hello, Mr. Song." Riester also attached great importance to this "big financier" of the Republic of China and said immediately.After the two shook hands and hugged, they walked to the rest area to sit down... Linda originally wanted to leave, but saw Li Junhao passing by, so she could only pick up a glass of champagne and follow.

Seeing his daughter and Li Junhao coming, Lister was very happy and introduced to Song Ziwen: "Mr. Song, this is my daughter Linda, she is 18 years old and is studying at Yale; this is Ognyan LI Panson , the first-class attaché of the Chinese Consulate General in Shanghai, and the youngest official diplomat of our country in the Far East..."

After hearing Rist's introduction, Song Ziwen of course had to pay attention and said with a smile: "Hello, Miss Linda, Yale University is a very good school. I believe you will definitely succeed in your studies; Mr. Pan Sen is young and promising, please give him some training." If you do, you will definitely have a bright future!" At this time, the 45-year-old Song Ziwen looked like a graceful scholar, and his words were also extremely beautiful, making people feel like spring breeze when meeting and hearing him. He was worthy of being an outstanding figure in the Republic of China.

"Thank you, Mr. Song!" Li Junhao and Linda certainly wanted to thank someone for their praise.

Linda was very impressed by the elegant Mr. Song, and showed a cute smile while thanking him.

Li Junhao had other ideas, because his understanding of this person was unparalleled in this era - according to the feudal dynasty, Song Ziwen was the uncle of the country for two consecutive dynasties, and his second sister Qingling was the founder of the Republic of China. The widow of Sun Yat-sen, the founder of the country, her younger sister Meiling is the head wife of the current leader of the government, Chairman Chiang Kai-shek; not counting her eldest brother-in-law, who is the current Executive President Kong Xiangxi!

He himself is also talented, with a master's degree in economics from Harvard University and a doctorate from Columbia University. He served as the government's finance minister at the age of 31 (1925), and concurrently served as the vice president of the Executive Yuan at the age of 36. At the age of 41, he served as the chairman of the Bank of China and participated in currency reform; After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, we jointly coordinated various banks to provide strategies and efforts to deal with the financial...
