The third floor, which has just been renovated, looks not only more luxurious, but also much more extravagant. Especially Qi Lanfeng and Wang Jiali both have beautiful female secretaries. The waiters in the small restaurant and coffee shop have also changed into bold clothes.

A beautiful young woman who can be said to be too exposed even in Shanghai of this era.

This was part of a series of instructions Secretary Mao gave them in mid-July after listening to Qi Lanfeng's report on the special station in detail, renovating the third floor and allocating more female staff.

Qin Chuan agreed very much with Secretary Mao's instructions, and secretly admired Secretary Mao in his heart.

According to Secretary Mao, he believed that their arrangement at the "Global Business Group" had a big flaw. This flaw was their arrangement on the third floor. The reason for prohibiting other personnel from going to the third floor was insufficient. Qi Lanfeng and Wang Jiali stayed there most of the time.

It’s easy to arouse others’ suspicion on the third floor.

The remedy is to redecorate it in a luxurious style so that ordinary people can easily see the flaws if they go upstairs occasionally. We also need to arrange more young and beautiful women upstairs to make people think about it.

In addition, the company's business has also changed, and the original ones have naturally been retained. Secretary Qi suggested that in addition to doing business on the black market, they should not only do it, but also let people know about their black market business.

thing.

After renovation, there are only Qi Lanfeng and Wang Jiali's offices on the third floor. Qin Chuan no longer has a nominal office upstairs. Qi Lanfeng and Wang Jiali's offices are located in the first two rooms on the left and right sides of the third floor.

In the big office, and outside their office, there are offices for female secretaries.

The corridor has removed the closed retaining wall partition and returned to its normal style. However, the corridor behind their office is separated by a thick wooden door partition. The situation inside cannot be seen from the door of their office.

The security personnel at the entrance of the stairs are still there, but these two people also appear as secretaries of Qi Lanfeng and Wang Jiali.

Of course, Qin Chuan's office on the second floor has also been renovated. The style is the same as the two people's offices. He has two secretaries here.

When Qi Lanfeng and Qin Chuan went upstairs, although they had to nod to the company employees from time to time, Qi Lanfeng never stopped telling Qin Chuan about Lu Bohong's charity work. It was not until they reached the third floor that Qi Lanfeng stopped.

He stopped in front of the door of his office. The door to the outer room was not closed and was open. A beautiful female secretary was sitting behind the desk in front of the door. After seeing Qi Lanfeng's questioning eyes, she shook her head slightly.

Qi Lanfeng made a gesture, and then walked into the corridor with Qin Chuan, pushing open the heavy wooden door. The corridor inside was not only lit with lights, but the lights were also soft pink, filled with a charming mood. Such an atmosphere would be difficult for anyone to take a look at.

When you look at it, you will inevitably have a strange feeling in your heart.

The two wooden doors on both sides of the third floor are the same, and they look just like ordinary ones. However, once an outsider deceives the guards at the stairway under the pretense of looking for Qi Lanfeng or Wang Jiali and wants to enter the depths of the corridor, someone will immediately come out to stop them.

And if someone wants to break in, the two wooden doors are equipped with special devices and will be firmly sealed immediately.

Qi Lanfeng took out the key and opened the door of a room, and a blast of cold air suddenly hit his face.

The promotion of air conditioners by Carrier Company in the United States has been quite smooth in China. After numerous recommendations by their own "Global News" and Fu Sinan's "Life Herald", Qinchuan gave them to "Qingping Club" and Du Gongguan for free.

and the Office of Mayor Yu of the Kuomintang Party of Shanghai Special City

One was installed in his office and his home, as well as in the British, French, American and German consulates in the Shanghai Concession. In the Du Mansion, especially Mayor Yu, and especially the famous and wealthy businessmen of the "Qingping Club" demonstrated

Driven by this effect, air conditioning quickly became popular in Shanghai.

Although Qinchuan set the price of air conditioners very expensive, more than 500 units have been sold. Now, almost every home of rich and famous people in Shanghai has air conditioners, which has become a symbol of wealth.

The promotion effect in Jinling, Suzhou, Hangzhou, Hankou, Guangzhou and other places has also been great. However, the first two batches of air conditioners shipped back have been out of stock, and the third batch is floating on the sea, and can only accept reservations.

Air conditioning is suitable for Shanghai during this season. "Global Business Group" and "Life Herald" have installed air conditioning in their respective main locations. Now the offices of Qi Lanfeng and Wang Jiali on the third floor of the company, as well as the restaurant, billiard room and several high-end guest rooms

, and the editing room on the second floor are all air-conditioned. Even the homes of Qi Lanfeng, Wang Jiali, Qin Chuan and the eldest brother have air conditioners. What makes Qin Chuan regretful is that Carrier has not developed central air conditioning.<

/p>

In addition, the deciphering room and telecommunications room cannot temporarily install air conditioners because they cannot hide external cooling devices. They can only use ice cubes and fans to cool down.

Carrier Company did not expect that air conditioners, which were not very popular in their country, would become popular in the East first. Naturally, they were very happy. Not only did they proactively lower the price of selling to the "Global Business Group", but they even sent personnel to the "Global Business Group", which they had never negotiated with.

The personnel who assisted the "Global Business Group" in repairing the air conditioners also agreed to be dispatched, and the cost would be borne by Carrier itself

The room Qi Lanfeng opened had a writing desk in the corner with two telephones and office supplies, and there was even a large safe and two file cabinets at the back, but it didn't look like one at all.

The office is more like a

There is a bar, because there is also a large glass wine cabinet in the room, which is full of various kinds of wine. Near the floor-to-ceiling window with gauze curtains, a circle of leather sofas surrounds a mahogany coffee table, and there are also

There are a few wine glasses scattered around.

The only place that makes people feel a little bit sentimental is a pot of tall, green bamboo placed in front of the window.

This nondescript room is Qi Lanfeng's real office. The layout of the room is for "visiting" some unusual people who have to agree.

Although it is difficult for outsiders to enter here, Qi Lanfeng still paused at the door for a moment, scanning the ground and several parts of the room before entering the room. Qin Chuan knew that Qi Lanfeng had always been very cautious, and his office was closed when he was not around.

Except for Wang Jiali and Qin Chuan, no one else is allowed to enter. He must have set up secret signs in front of the door and elsewhere in the room.

Qin Chuan was not polite and threw the leather bag in his hand on the sofa, then walked directly to the wine cabinet, opened the bottom cabinet door, took out two bottles of Hushangyou brand UB black beer and opened them smoothly.

After arriving on the sofa and sitting down, Qi Lanfeng took off his coat and took two wet towels from the washbasin in the corner of the room. As soon as the two of them wiped their faces, Wang Jiali opened the door and came in. He closed the door and said with a smile.

"Chengji, why are you rushing to the company when you are not at home with your bride?"

Qin Chuan said with a wry smile, "Beiping and Tianjin have already been lost. Now that the Japanese army in North China has received reinforcements, they have divided their forces and moved northward and westward. As stated in the "Message to All Soldiers on the War of Resistance" issued by the Chairman of the Standing Committee on July 31

, we have reached the last moment. If we don’t fight this war, it will definitely be impossible. How can I still sit at home!"

Qi Lanfeng invited Wang Jiali to sit down, then picked up the beer Qin Chuan opened and poured it for everyone, and said, "Chengji came just in time. Secretary Mao sent us another situation report last night. Let me tell you.

."

In view of the important task of deciphering the special station, since the last time the office was asked to provide the diplomatic note from Jinling to the Japanese Embassy, ​​Secretary Mao has asked people to regularly sort out the relevant military and diplomatic situations and report them to them, and also issued them

Hard requirements, all and everywhere

The messages in and out, including the Japanese secret messages they deciphered, are not allowed to be preserved. Only the messages that were intercepted but not deciphered could be preserved. Therefore, the telegram received from Secretary Mao last night had already been destroyed. Qi Lanfeng dictated it entirely from memory.

To Qin Chuan.

According to Qi Lanfeng's report, regarding North China, the 29th Army had withdrawn to Baoding on July 29th;

The independent mixed 11th Brigade and the 5th Division of the Japanese invaders advancing northward have approached the south entrance, and their purpose should be to prepare to attack Shanxi. The Kuomintang has appointed Tang Enbo as the commander-in-chief of the 7th Group Army, and has led the 13th Army.

Arrive at the south entrance and join the 134th Division of the 29th Army Liu Ruming's Department that retreated to the south entrance to guard the south entrance. It is expected that there will be a firefight soon;

According to intelligence, Shozo Kawabe, the former commander of the Japanese garrison in North China, is likely to officially lead his troops into Peiping City on the 8th, which is today;

As for HD, several of their senior leaders will arrive in Jinling in the next day or two to prepare to attend the Kuomintang's Supreme National Defense Conference and discuss the reorganization of their troops in Shaanxi. In addition, HD has begun to gather the guerrillas scattered in several provinces in Jiangnan.

, the Kuomintang agreed to reorganize these guerrillas into the New Fourth Army.

As for Jinling, since July 11, we have been actively stocking up and mobilizing grain, baggage, weapons and ammunition north of the Yellow River to replenish the northern troops with grain and ammunition. The priority is to replenish the troops of Han Fuju in Shandong.

A regiment of the Supplementary Brigade of the Second Division of the Central Army has secretly stationed in Hongqiao Airport and other important places around Shanghai in the name of a security regiment.

Qinchuan knew all about the situations reported by Qi Lanfeng, especially the preparations for the mobilization of Kuomintang troops in Shanghai. Qinchuan even knew some things that Qi Lanfeng didn't know, such as the strategic issues against Japan that are still being debated in Jinling, and the issues along the Yangtze River.

Regarding the issue of defense deployment, there are also the two elite German weapon masters Eighty-seven and Eighty-eight who have secretly arrived near Suzhou. However, these are military secrets and should not be reported to them.

As for the confidential matter of a regiment of the Second Division stationed at Hongqiao Airport in disguise, it was probably because they were worried about being noticed by the Japanese, and they needed to pay attention to Japanese movements before notifying them.

"Chengji,"

Seeing that Qin Chuan was a little distracted, Qi Lanfeng was a little tired because Qin Chuan was busy with the wedding these days. He smiled apologetically and said, "About the matter about Wang Jiuzhou, the section chief of the river management office, and the Japanese owner of the bookstore, Secretary Mao

Instruct this matter

We don't need to take care of it anymore. According to the situation of our supervisor, Wang Jiuzhou went on a business trip to the Hankou Shipyard to receive equipment three days ago. Before I had time to inform you, I had withdrawn all the people who were monitoring the bookstore and Wang Jiuzhou.

”

Wang Jiali asked with some confusion, "Lao Qi, you withdrew the people? Is it so easy for them? What about the "Wanhe Trading Company" and the "Russian Overseas Chinese Autonomous Association"?"

Regarding Wang Jiali's question, Qi Lanfeng glanced at Qin Chuan and said, "Chengji, tell Lao Wang."

Qin Chuan could feel that this was also Qi Lanfeng's intention to test him, so he smiled and said, "Old Wang, how can we take advantage of them? I guess the department will not let us interfere anymore and just want to start dealing with them. This is because they are afraid

Our identity has been exposed because of these things. That Wang Jiuzhou will probably die in the line of duty on this business trip, or he may slip and fall into the water due to drunkenness on the ship and drown."

"As for the Bookstore, Wanhe Trading Co., and the Russian Overseas Chinese Autonomous Association, it's a bit difficult to deal with. At least until the fight breaks out in Shanghai, we won't do anything to them."

Seeing Wang Jiali's sudden realization, Qi Lanfeng nodded with satisfaction and said with some envy, "Chengji, there is one more thing. This is what Secretary Mao conveyed to the director. The director asked Secretary Mao to convey to you that once the war starts in Shanghai,

The office has received a call from the military commissar

According to the order of the meeting, we must make every effort to ensure the security of the military important areas and rear areas of the participating troops, and strictly prevent Japanese spies from sabotaging and collecting our intelligence. Therefore, the director is preparing to concentrate police forces such as the Shanghai Police Corps and the China Merchants Patrol Brigade to investigate and prevent the day during the war.

Spy."

"In order not to make you appear too obtrusive, your inspection office will also be recruited to participate. The director just wants you to do it freely and do it well. The director said that the better you do, you will even kill a few spies.

No problem, the better you perform, the better it will be for you to break into the Japanese people in the future. The director said he has high hopes for you!"
