Lin Xiao said impatiently: "How many times have I told you, don't call me the boss, sir, sir, sir, that's the official title."
Qi Weimin: "Yes, Mr. Mayor."
"How is that Qiao Shikuan?" Lin Xiao asked quietly.
"Going back to Mr. Mayor, he still said that your brother is out shopping, but he has notified the purchasing outlets and asked him to return immediately when he saw him to discuss the opening. One thing is that we got your brother's address." Qi Weimin
Said quite proudly.
"address?"
"Yes, do you think we should send someone to check on the spot first so that security arrangements can be made when Mr. Mayor goes to visit? My brother said in the newspaper that it is no secret that you are coming to Shanghai. There is also a new government established.
The news has been flying all over the sky for a long time, and people with ulterior motives..."
"Well, you go ahead and make arrangements. Also, the important thing is that Otani Seiji, you have to pay attention to his movements at all times. You said his son was injured in the newspaper office today?"
"Yes, the injury is still serious. I probably won't be able to get out of bed for half a month. I sent him to Guangji Hospital." Qi Weimin understood that a secretary should provide the leader with as complete information as possible for the leader to make decisions. So he tried his best
Explained the key points of the matter comprehensively.
Lin Xiao pondered for a moment, "I know. You can go down."
"Yes, Mr. Mayor. Oh, tonight the newspaper office's thank-you banquet will be held at the Porte Gloria. Do you think I still want to attend?"
"Why not go? You can't get back the 30,000 yuan gift, but the connections of the big guys in the concession far exceed this value. Moreover, Ji Fenglin is quite popular among these people, and his strength is by no means inferior to Qiao Shikuan.
Also, you can also explore your teacher's background." Lin Xiao stood up and walked around the room.
"I understand, Mr. Mayor."
"You mean, the time and place of the battle have not yet been determined?" Lu Pengzhi asked with worry.
"The situation changes so fast that it is difficult to make a decision. However, a battle must be fought. Although this battle has little tactical significance, it has great strategic significance. At the very least, it will play an important role in improving overall morale."
Ohtani Moriji said analytically.
"I also think so. Now that the strategic depth is so great, we need to give the enemy a head-on blow. Otherwise, we will really be in silence. I had exchanged opinions with the military leaders on this issue before coming to Shanghai. But on such a large scale
It seems that the top brass of the military have been unable to make up their mind about the positional battle." Lu Pengzhi was still full of doubts.
"Wars are about resources. The source of the military's worries is our logistical support, especially weapons and ammunition. The advanced nature of weapons and the unlimited supply of ammunition are the confidence that determines the victory of the battle. The ancients said that the troops and horses have not moved.
Food and grass go first. These 120 tons of strategic materials may become an important basis for the military to make a decision." Otani Shengji took a sip of tea and stared at Lu Pengzhi.
"Yes. We are no longer people who sit in the office and go to the library to do research. We are the executors. The Queen Elizabeth will arrive in one and a half months at the latest, so we must open up a reliable route within forty days.
Transportation lines to transport materials out of the Shanghai area. From planning to construction, it is difficult." Lu Pengzhi said with a smile.
Otani Seiji also smiled and said, "I believe that Brother Peng can successfully complete this task, because this is the best route to transport this batch of supplies. It must transit in Shanghai. It must also be completed. Queen Elizabeth would have to park half way in Shanghai."
We will set sail from Dalian in March. So, you actually have almost two months." Otani Mori said with a look of joy on his face.
"That cannot be counted, nor can it be used as a standard for action time. Please tell relevant parties that we will complete the task on time, without any additional conditions, and will never let down the expectations of overseas Chinese. At least not during our period." Lu Pengzhi was determined.
Expressed with a smile.
"Brother Peng still has such a general demeanor. I admire it. I admire it. The country is very fortunate and the people are very fortunate!" Otani Sheng nodded repeatedly and said with emotion, "Mr. Inger's judgment is right."
"Inger?"
"Yes, I had a phone call with Inger before I came here. He said that you would find a way to complete this heavy shipment. Inger and Heping International have done a lot of work on this batch of ammunition. It can be said that they are also
The result of hard work.”
"Mr. Inger is in Peiping?"
"Yes. His next trip is to Tokyo, but he has not determined where to leave the country yet. He said that if he goes to Shanghai by mistake, he will definitely come to see you."
"That's great. It's good news, no pressure, other than keeping him safe."
Lu Pengzhi laughed softly after speaking.
"The newspaper office's thank-you banquet is scheduled for me tonight. How will Mr. Otani arrange it. Should we attend the banquet or go to the hospital to visit Mr. Ling?" Lu Pengzhi asked.
Otani Shengji pondered for a moment, "Forget it, I booked a ticket for the evening to go to Nanjing. Peace International has a meeting there. After that, I have to go to Chengdu. I'd better not attend the dinner. Something happened to the newspaper office, so I'll go with you.
There will be a lot of enthusiasm, and there will be many tabloids. I don’t know what they will say in the newspapers. As for the dog incident, you know."
"I know, that is Mr. Otani's own business, both public and private...ah, then I wish you a safe journey. Take care."
Otani Shengji shook hands with Lu Pengzhi and said goodbye, then opened the door and came out.
Liu Qinghuai was already waiting for him at the elevator entrance.
Otani Seiji followed Liu Qinghuai out of the Tahoe Building and discovered that there was a square next to him, which turned out to be a side entrance of the racecourse.
Liu Qinghuai asked for a rickshaw for Otani Shengji.
Otani Seiji did not say goodbye to Liu Qinghuai, but got in the car and turned into the twilight Yuqiaqing Road.
In front of the newspaper office, Yao Lishun hung up a sign saying "No Condolences" and said to Ji Ruoxi who came out: "The master said he would like to invite the young lady to sit in Mr. Mu's car. He still has a few guests to take with him. We can't sit down anymore."
He said to Mu Tian: "Mr. Mu, please take care of Miss."
Mu Tian smiled and said to Yao Lishun, "Don't worry, Uncle Yao, it's no problem."
"There's a problem!" Ji Ruoxi shouted.
Hu Ti, Jin Hu and Yao Lizhun all looked at Ji Ruoxi in surprise.
"I'm not going, I'm going to the hospital to accompany Ouyang Hui!"
Mu Tian and Hu Ti looked at each other.
"That's not possible. The master said that since you are wearing the filial piety clothes of filial sons and grandsons, you must be present today to thank the guests who came to express condolences. You cannot be absent." Yao Lishun's tone was serious.
Ji Ruoxi was speechless for a moment, shaking her body and gouging out Mu Tian with her eyes.
"I won't take his car." Ji Ruoxi said flatly.
Yao Lizhun saw that this was a dispute between the young couple and it was not easy to get involved, so he smiled and left to drive the master's car.
Seeing that Mu Tian did not persuade him, Hu Ti stepped forward to persuade him, "Kailor Gate is quite far away, but..."
Ji Ruoxi: "You don't have to worry about it."
She kicked Hu Ti, walked down the steps, looked back at Mu Tian, and muttered in a low voice: "Despicable!"
Mu Tian was unmoved. Hu Ti listened clearly and looked at Mu Tian blankly, "What's going on?"
Mu Tian waved his hand, "You don't have to worry about it." Then he walked towards Ji Ruoxi who was standing on the roadside waiting for a rickshaw.
