As long as you have enough money, the colonel doesn't mind appearing on such an occasion.

The opening day was filled with joy.

The guests are basically all here.

It's just that Yemu was a little absent-minded.

He kept looking into the distance.

Because the most important guest today has not arrived yet:

Colonel Charles!

Without him, the opening ceremony will definitely not start.

Even if all the guests had to wait here, Yeem would not hesitate.

As long as they can cling to the big tree of Colonel Charles, the Bartlett family will have a firm foothold in Manila.

He was a little uneasy and asked in a low voice next to Deputy Director Varnado: "Are you sure the colonel will come? It's already this time."

Varnado didn't care at all: "Calm down, Mr. Bartlett, what the colonel promised can always be done."

As he spoke, he pointed forward: "Look, the colonel is here."

A jeep approaches from far away.

Most of the guests present learned from various channels that Colonel Charles would also come to today's opening ceremony.

This is a perfect opportunity to get to know the colonel.

Therefore, even if they wait there, they still have no regrets.

When they heard that the colonel had arrived, these guests crowded forward one after another, hoping to have the opportunity to meet Colonel Charles as soon as possible.

As soon as the car stopped, Li Zhifeng and Lieutenant Teer got out of the car first.

Well, Lieutenant Tell.

Second Lieutenant Ter, who had followed Meng Shaoyuan since the battle to recapture Manila, was finally promoted to lieutenant.

Lieutenant Terre, who had just received caution yesterday, looked beaming with joy.

Then, the person who got out of the back seat was Manila’s most dazzling star:

Colonel Charles Meng!

Suddenly, warm applause broke out.

In such an occasion, no one will be stingy with their applause, whether it is true or false.

After all, you don’t have to spend your own money by applauding.

Accompanied by Deputy Director Varnado, Yelm greeted him with a cheerful face and said in the most humble tone:

"It is an honor for the entire Bartlett family that you can deign to come here. You will be the most important guest here today."

Meng Shaoyuan nodded lightly.

There is no need to look good on such people.

I am able to come here today solely for the sake of money.

Now that the protagonist has arrived, the opening of the business is a matter of course.

Because Manila is home to a large number of overseas Chinese, it is deeply influenced by Chinese culture. When opening, many shops will choose to cut ribbons to gain good luck.

The same goes for the Bartlett family's inn.

Cutting the ribbon, besides Colonel Charles, who else is qualified?

Amid even warmer applause, Meng Shaoyuan completed his most important task today.

He breathed a long sigh of relief.

Yelm has other guests to attend to.

"Colonel."

Just as Meng Shaoyuan walked to a slightly quieter place and lit a cigarette, a middle-aged man approached him.

"Let him come over."

Meng Shaoyuan said to Li Zhifeng who stopped this man.

He is also in a good mood today.

"Colonel, thank you very much for meeting me." The middle-aged man said humbly: "I am El Pete from NL Film Company."

NL Film Company?

Meng Shaoyuan was startled, and then he remembered, wasn't this the film company that the Sheikhdan Narendasan family gave him half of its shares?

When Xie Hedan said this, Meng Shaoyuan didn't pay much attention to it and had even forgotten about it.

Now that El appeared like this, I remembered it.

"Ah, NL Film Company." Meng Shaoyuan said smoothly: "Did Sheikh Dan send you to run the film company here?"

"Yes, Colonel." El said with a smile: "I am an American. Sheikh Dan specially hired me. He said that it is easier for an American to communicate with a US military colonel."

Meng Shaoyuan's mouth showed a smile,

In this regard, Sheikh Dan was still very smart. Although he gave Meng Shaoyuan half of the shares, hiring an American as the manager instead of using local people, especially people from the Narendasan family, would gain the colonel's trust more.

.

Meng Shaoyuan was obviously very satisfied with this.

"Colonel, you are now the major shareholder of NL Film Company." El said very cautiously: "It's just that you need to sign some documents so that you can truly own this company."

"Oh, I understand." Meng Shaoyuan responded casually: "I will go there when I have time."

"Colonel, I know you are busy with work." El immediately said: "I wanted to visit you several times before, but I couldn't do it. This time I heard that you would come here, so I came here specially. I sent the documents

I have brought them all, you just need to sign here."

Um?

Only then did Meng Shaoyuan pay attention.

I didn't pay attention to this person just now, so I didn't take it to heart.

Now that I heard it, El seemed to have something interesting.

I tried to visit several times but failed.

In fact, El can completely see himself in another way, which is not difficult.

But he didn't do that. There was only one reason. He wanted to prove his ability.

He directly brought the documents over, saving Meng Shaoyuan's time. This shows that he is quite careful in his work.

Also, especially what he just said that is easy for people to ignore:

"This way you can truly own the company."

This guy has a very good mind and knows who the real owner of NL Film Company is.

Even, the possibility has not been ruled out that El will try his best to let Meng Shaoyuan completely own the company.

Meng Shaoyuan began to pay attention to this person: "El Peter?"

"Yes, Colonel."

Meng Shaoyuan said calmly: "Tell me what you think, especially what you think about me."

El didn't seem surprised by such a question, and he even said calmly: "Colonel, I don't need too much compliments about your reputation in Manila. Many people know what kind of person you are.

Before the war broke out, I worked in Manila and I was familiar with everything here. After the Japanese occupied Manila, I unfortunately fell into the hands of the Japanese. However, the greatest luck in the misfortune was that under the terrible torture of the Japanese, I actually managed to survive.

Survived.

It's just that I lost everything before, my life, my family. Just when I was infinitely confused, the Narendasan family found me and gave me such a job. I really cherish it, Colonel

.

However, it is not just as simple as finding a job in Manila. If I want to have a higher quality of life, I must find someone worthy of my loyalty. This person is not Sheikh Dan or Narendasan.
