On September 21, 1917, the Yanjing government issued a nationwide telegram appointing Zhou Chaowu as the governor of Shanghai, managing all the affairs of the Chinese community in Shanghai

Zhou Chaowu finally got a legal status, but I don't know how long he can sit in this position!

After receiving the official letter, he asked someone to repair the Overseer's Mansion, and moved a lot of things from the Chinese merchant's villa to prepare to live in it officially.

He also reorganized Guan Wenlong's reconnaissance company, allowing him to lead an elite army to form a guard battalion, which is responsible for the security and daily affairs of the Shuaifu!

"Ruibing, you take a troop and go and bring my mother back from Yangzhou. "

The war subsided, and Zhou Chaowu also wanted Xiao Baiying to return to his own territory.

"Yes!" He Ruibing ordered to leave.

Zhou Chaowu was alone in the Overseer's Mansion, thinking about personnel issues!

The military attache is good to say.

Civil officials are in a dilemma.

There is no such thing as a suitable team.

Railways, agriculture, transportation, justice....

The most important thing is finance!

None of these people can be decided!

At this time, outside the Overseer's Mansion, there was already a sea of people.

Yanjing's telegram made these celebrities and social figures who were active in the Chinese Concession of Shanghai, various fields, and officials from various departments in the past flock to Zhou Chaowu.

But they were all temporarily dismissed by Zhou Chaowu on the grounds that he was busy with official business.

Don't think about it, he knows what these people are here for, it's nothing more than seeking profit and seeking officials!

But before he decided on the candidates for important positions, it was meaningless to see these people come to him one by one to complain and ask for officials.

Zhou Chaowu decided to visit Sun Wen tomorrow.

While thanking the Guangdong Army for their great help this time, I also want him to recommend some talents.

......

In the evening, Xiao Baiying arrived.

She's having a hard time these days!

has been paying close attention to the state of his son Zhou Chaowu, happy for a while, worried for a while, and his heart is about to rise and fall!

Fortunately, in the end, Zhou Chaowu was not only safe.

He also became the overseer of Shanghai!

Hearing the news that Zhou Chaowu asked her to come back, she couldn't wait for a day before she set off!

"Wu'er! During this time, my mother is worried about you! I miss you very much!

Seeing that you are out now, my mother is really happy for you!

If your father had a spirit in heaven, he would be proud of your achievements!"

As soon as Xiao Baiying saw Zhou Chaowu, her eyes immediately moistened.

She has too deep feelings for her only son.

"Mother, that's thanks to your support, although this time is also difficult, but with the blessing of you and your father, you still successfully passed this hurdle! The road ahead will only get better and better! Mother, you don't have to worry about me, enjoy some blessings!".

Zhou Chaowu saw his mother, who seemed to be older for two months, and he was also a little worried, and he didn't want her to continue to work hard for herself!

After the two chatted for a while.

Xiao Baiying took out a key, put it on Zhou Chaowu's palm, and said: "Wu'er, our family's money, Tiande, silver tickets and other things are all in the treasury, this is the key to the treasury! You are now a person who does great things, and the family's property will be taken care of by yourself." "

Zhou Chaowu looked at the key in his hand, there were traces of time.

He felt like the keys were heavy and loaded with too many things.

After thinking about it, I still didn't accept it.

"Mother, I am now the overseer of Shanghai, and the public funds required will be taken from the land and silver tax, you should take this money and do business, and when I need it, I will ask you again! Besides, there are so many industries in the family that need to be taken care of, your son and I don't know anything, you better take care of it yourself."

Mother, don't worry, if something really happens, your son will open his mouth to you!".

Zhou Chaowu persuaded him to put the key back into Xiao Baiying's hand.

"Okay! Wu'er, my mother will take care of this family for you! But after my mother leaves, someone

will have to take care of you! I still remember what my mother told you before that I want to prepare for your marriage, this time I took refuge in Yangzhou, and an old friend of your father, Zhu Baosan, happened to be on a business trip in Yangzhou, and helped my mother a lot, and he also asked someone to inquire about your news every day to tell me.

There happens to be a 17-year-old girl in his family, surnamed Zhu Mingyuqin, who looks Zhouzheng and is also very virtuous, so my mother will make the decision for you and set this marriage contract!

If you have time, go to Zhu's house to visit! Your future father-in-law is also a well-known figure in Shanghai, the president of the Chamber of Commerce!

Xiao Baiying didn't insist after taking the key, but changed the topic to Zhou Chaowu's life events.

Her two biggest wishes, one is to hope that Zhou Chaowu can take the right path, and now it can be regarded as a fulfillment.

The other is Zhou Chaowu's family affair.

She knew that Zhou Chaowu's life was a little rough, and he mixed up with the army all day long, and he wouldn't take good care of himself.

When the mother's heart is distressed, it's not good to run too much every day.

But if it's a daughter-in-law, daily care is a matter of course.

So she urgently found such a marriage!

However.

Zhou Chaowu's heart was messy.

He was betrothed to be married, and he didn't have his consent at all!

And he's got to be a underage!

Can't our mother be idle?

His heart is resistant, but the reason is very simple.

Zhou Chaowu has never been in love since his two lifetimes!

So there's a little bit of rejection in my heart.

And the two lives of virgins, so his desire for that aspect is not high.

"Again... Look at it, mother, I haven't prepared a clarification yet. Zhou Chaowu twisted and wanted to delay.

However, Xiao Baiying didn't want to give him this opportunity!

"Mother can greet you, and your mother will listen to you in everything, but you have to listen to your

mother in this matter! Within this month, you have to go to me to see your father-in-law! Years ago, you have to marry me that piano girl home!"

Zhou Chaowu was full of black lines and just wanted to escape from here.

Xiao Baiying chased after him and shouted: "It's useless for you to run! If you don't go to see you, I'll invite your father-in-law to our house!"

What a wreck!

The Zhou Dynasty Wu Fei fled from the Overseer's Mansion like a general....
