Chapter 388 Visiting Mr. Li
What's the point of good education?
Aren’t those people all well educated by you?
Nowadays, the foreigners in Peking and even the whole of North China, not just the Japanese, but also people from other Western countries, have all behaved very humbly. If they commit even the slightest crime, they will quickly explain the situation to the police, for fear that the Peking police will come to arrest them.
Is that an arrest?
After the arrest, the whole family felt like they had been robbed.
Everyone chatted for a while, and it was almost afternoon. Li Shaoyi went back to his room to rest for a while, cleared out a box, and then picked out a few fine cultural relics.
Ru kiln three-legged brush washer!
This thing costs twenty or thirty thousand dollars, which is not too expensive to send over, but it is not cheap either.
The Kangxi Wenlong large plate is also worth 20,000 yuan.
Nowadays, when Li Shaoyi takes these things out of the system, they all have a rough estimated value. However, when Li Shaoyi handles the items, they are generally 20% to 30% higher than the system's estimated value.
The two items cost more than fifty thousand dollars, enough to take you around the Li family.
In addition, there is a Ford bulletproof sedan, which is also worth 15,000 yuan.
An ordinary car costs more than 2,000 yuan. In this era, there are good and bad cars. With these gifts, Li Shaoyi thought it was about the same. We don’t ask Mr. Li to do anything for us. We just want to make his presence known.
Nowadays, Mr. Li is still one of the people in the Military Commission, and also holds the title of Deputy Minister of Military Affairs and Deputy Minister of the Army.
But basically, apart from the important meetings of the Military Commission, he did not go to other government offices and stayed idle at home. He only went to various places for inspection occasionally, but those were very few.
Normally, when military and political leaders from all over the country came to Beijing, they would not meet anyone except their old subordinates. However, Li Shaoyi had kidnapped two grandsons and one granddaughter of their family. It would be unreasonable not to go and pay a visit to them.
When it was getting dark, Li Shaoyi got into his car and went there surrounded by people.
The Li family mansion is indeed a top-notch manor. The last time Li Shaoyi went to the Yu family manor in Pujiang, he compared them in his heart. The two places are almost the same. They are indeed both large families with deep roots.
Li Shaoyi glanced out the window and saw that Li Sibei was the only one in the hallway. It seemed that except for Mr. Li, all the family members were out for social events. Li Shaoyi had decided to come for a visit on a whim. If the decision had been made earlier, it was estimated that all the Li family members in Jinling would have stayed at home. This was also a sign of respect for Li Shaoyi.
They all knew that Li Sibei resigned from the Renaissance Society and became the director of the 72nd Division's Jinling Office. If she didn't get the approval of the family elders, would a big family like the Li family be willing to let a little girl like Li Sibei act like she did?
Therefore, Li Shaoyi did not feel much pressure about this visit. The main reason was that he had asked someone to investigate. The Li family was full of pro-war people, and they would take tough measures against Japan. It was a pity that under such a general environment, they had to give in to some things.
Li Qiankun is considered a leading figure among the third generation of the Li family. He currently serves as the brigade commander of the aviation brigade under Li Shaoyi.
Mr. Li didn't say anything about this. Doesn't this show his attitude? Chang Sun fought against the Japanese in the north and actually killed quite a few of them. It is said that Mr. Li has been very happy since then.
Although the Li family did not openly support Li Shaoyi's 72nd Division, both of their grandsons held important positions in the 72nd Division, and their only granddaughter served as the director of the 72nd Division's Nanjing Office. This was much more important than support expressed verbally. Now that Li Shaoyi came to visit, the entire Li family was decorated with lights and decorations.
"It's not that my father and uncle didn't come back, they also had their own things to do, so there are only me and the old man at home. You know that this was a last-minute decision."
When Li Shaoyi got off the car, Li Sibei secretly explained to him. Li Shaoyi certainly knew why he appeared here tonight. It was to control the General Police Department.
Although there are several other appointments that can be brought up, doing so will definitely leave some room for gossip. It would be better to push Mr. Li out. There is really no one in Jinling who does not give face to the old man, including the principal.
"Reporting to the commander, I am Li Shaoyi, the commander of the 72nd Division."
After entering the hall, although the old man was wearing a long gown and a jacket and standing in the hall with a cane, Li Shaoyi still stood at attention, wearing the uniform of the Central Army, and saluted the old man in an extremely standard posture.
"Not bad, not bad. You have the demeanor of a soldier of the Communist Party and the country. When I was an instructor at the military academy, I required all the cadets under my command to not stand properly at attention and not do anything. You are considered a member of the National Revolutionary Army who has not failed."
Although it was the first time the old man met Li Shaoyi, since they both came from the military, there were not many twists and turns. He nodded very satisfied. However, when he saw the way his granddaughter looked at Li Shaoyi, the old man's eyes became a little inquiring.
This is not possible!
Everyone knows that Li Shaoyi is engaged to the daughter of Old Yu.
It would be absolutely unacceptable if my granddaughter had such thoughts.
Of course, now is not the time to talk about these things. After all, Li Shaoyi looked at Li Sibei with clear eyes and did not have any thoughts in that regard, which made the old man very pleased.
Since ancient times, beauties have loved heroes. No matter which dynasty or generation, this kind of thing is everywhere. Li Shaoyi is now worthy of the title of hero.
"Your 72nd Division is truly rich. Others gave me these things one by one, but you gave them in boxes, as if you were afraid others wouldn't know you'd made a fortune."
When the old man saw the antiques sent by Li Shaoyi, who had studied them for half his life, he immediately knew their value.
"I don't know if they're real or not. They were all confiscated from the Japanese. I thought the old man was an expert in this field, so I took them back for appraisal. I'll just consider it a gift from the Japanese to you."
Li Shaoyi's words amused the old man.
There were reports everywhere that the Japanese were robbing us, but today I heard that a Japanese was robbed, and the amount was quite large. What was taken was only a small part of it, and the rest must have been pocketed by Li Shaoyi. Regardless of whether this thing was true or false, as long as it was stolen from the Japanese, the old man felt very happy. He now looked at Li Shaoyi more and more favorably. The dissatisfaction he had just felt because of his granddaughter has now disappeared...
