Although what Liu Xia said was a little obscure, Cheng Qianfan still understood it instantly.
He nodded and fell into deep thought, but didn't say anything more.
Liu Xia did not go into depth on this topic.
She doesn't need Cheng Qianfan to express his stance now.
Her task was to communicate with Cheng Qianfan "privately" and make him mentally prepared. As for what decision Cheng Qianfan would make, that was Cheng Qianfan's business.
However, when she arrived at Wang's Mansion and before getting off the bus, Liu Xia couldn't help but say, "Brother Fan, although Shanghai is safe, Jinling is a place of kingly aura!"
Cheng Qianfan nodded deeply and casually took Liu Xia's Xiaokun bag.
…
Chen Chunpu is very busy.
Liu Xia and Cheng Qianfan were led to Chen Chunpu's office. Chen Chunpu pointed to the guest sofa and motioned for them to sit down for now.
Soon a staff member poured tea.
A man in Chinese tunic suit ushered in several people and placed documents and bags of archives on the desk.
This person nodded to Liu Xia, and then saw Cheng Qianfan. He was surprised at first, and then smiled and nodded.
Cheng Qianfan stood up slightly, nodded in greeting and sat down.
He had a vague impression of this person. When he accompanied Chu Mingyu to meet Wang Chuhai, Mi Wenqin, Wang Chuhai's personal Japanese translator, came in to report on the work. This person seemed to be Mi Wenqin's entourage and stood there obediently. Waiting at the door but not entering.
…
Pei Zhicun organized the documents and placed them on Chen Chunpu's desk.
I was thinking secretly in my heart.
The "Mr. Xiao Cheng" from the French Concession and Chu Mingyu's close assistant Liu Xia came to visit one after another, which could not help but attract his attention.
"Director, Su Wenxi from DaDaDao City Government has called and wants to see you." Pei Zhicun said.
"Call back and tell me I'm not available for the next two days."
"Yes." Pei Zhicun secretly remembered it in his heart.
Chen Chunpu said that he was not free these two days, but he did not say that he would not be free in the future, nor did he say that he would be free in the future. As for whether he would be free, it depends on whether Secretary-General Su knows about it.
"Secretary Pei, the budget for the Spring Festival Peace Conference is too high. These people don't know how expensive firewood and rice are. The country is in dire straits and all industries are prosperous. Make a note of it and reduce it by 20% from the total amount."
"Yes!" Pei Zhicun said. As he spoke, he took out the document on the third layer from the pile and handed it to Chen Chunpu. "Director, this is tomorrow's speech."
"We must fully understand Mr.'s important speech in the New Year's speech." Chen Chunpu glanced briefly and said.
"I understand." Pei Zhicun said.
He understood that this meant that more of Mr. Wang's important speeches should be quoted in the speech.
Chen Chunpu picked up another document casually, glanced at it, and said to himself, "Spring Festival dinner invitation letter? Whose is it? Secret Service Headquarters?"
He frowned and looked at Pei Zhicun with questioning eyes, "Invite me to the Spring Festival dinner on the 76th?"
"The invitation was sent by Zhang Lu, the bodyguard of Deputy Director Li Cuiqun." Pei Zhicun said, "The invitation is that the director is hoped to be free to come."
"I won't go." Chen Chunpu shook his head, "In this case, you can go there and represent me."
"Understood." Pei Zhicun nodded.
…
Cheng Qianfan saw that Chen Chunpu had been busy for a long time. Secretary Pei led the other people to leave, and Chen Chunpu had a few sips of tea.
"Oh, wait and see." Chen Chunpu said with a smile, shaking his head and sighing, "I'm so busy every day that I can't even touch the ground."
"Director Chen, you have many things to do and work hard on state affairs every day. Your hard work really puts a young man like me who is greedy for pleasure to shame." Cheng Qianfan said.
"That's different." Chen Chunpu waved his hand, "Young people, you should be chic when you should be chic."
He smiled and said, "I also came from a young age.
.
Yes, that’s understandable.”
Then he seemed to suddenly realize it. He pointed at Cheng Qianfan and said to Liu Xia, "Liu Xia, look, this little girl is cunning and she is cunning."
Chen Chunpu laughed and said, "He said that on purpose. He wanted to hear me praise him for his hard work, but I didn't do as he expected."
"He is indeed good at stealing from women." Liu Xia said with a smile, "Fortunately, Director Chen has a sharp eye."
Cheng Qianfan showed an innocent look.
After Chen Chunpu took the initiative to condescend and speak a few words, the atmosphere in the office was very good.
He took the budget list from Liu Xia and listened to Liu Xia's report.
"A gap of fifteen thousand?" Chen Chunpu frowned slightly.
"This batch of weapons and ammunition was obtained from the Japanese. They are currently preparing to clear the countryside," Liu Xia said.
Chen Chunpu was a little confused and looked at Cheng Qianfan.
"We followed the path of the Shanghai Military Police Headquarters. Due to the war, the arsenal was not rich in supplies." Cheng Qianfan explained.
"This is not a problem of a shortfall of 15,000 yuan." Chen Chunpu said, his expression serious, and he looked at Cheng Qianfan with a more appreciative look, "Last time you said you would find a solution from the Japanese, but you didn't I never thought that I got weapons and ammunition from the Military Police Headquarters."
Chen Chunpu said, "And when weapons and ammunition are in short supply, this can't just be done with money."
He nodded, "Qianfan did a good job."
"Qianfan is relying on the will of the people, and he really has a lot of help." Cheng Qianfan said, "Japanese friends know that they are contributing to the great cause of peaceful nation-building, and they are willing to fully support it."
"It's well said, De Dao Duo Zhu." Chen Chunpu was very happy. He picked up his pen and signed his signatures. "Mr. Wang's peaceful founding of the country has the support of 40 million people, the help of Japanese friends, and the sympathy and support of the international community. , we can look forward to the sunshine."
He handed the signed document to Liu Xia, "I still have some official business here, so I won't keep you here."
"I won't disturb Director Chen anymore."
"Director Chen, you are busy."
After leaving Chen Chunpu's office, Liu Xia handed it to Cheng Qianfan to read.
Cheng Qianfan pursed his lips and smiled.
Chen Chunpu did not make up the difference of 15,000 yuan, but was granted 18,000 yuan.
"These three thousand are your reward." Liu Xia said.
"Wrong, wrong, Sister Xia." Cheng Qianfan said with a smile, "It's the two of us."
"Who gave it to you two?" Liu Xia pursed her lips and smiled.
…
"That Secretary Pei..." Cheng Qianfan asked Liu Xia on the way back in the car.
"Pei Zhicun, he used to be the secretary of the Secretariat Office of the Dadao Municipal Government." Liu Xia said, "A few months ago, he was recommended to Director Chen as his secretary, and now it seems that he has the trust of Director Chen."
"Last time I visited Mr. Wang with the Secretary-General, this man seemed to be with Translator Mi." Cheng Qianfan said thoughtfully.
"Pei Zhicun's mother is Japanese. I have met that lady. She is very elegant. Because she is proficient in Chinese and Japanese languages, she was hired as a translator by Ruan Guanying, director of the Education Bureau of the Avenue City Government." Liu Xia is very familiar with these complicated interpersonal relationships.
Menqing, she said eloquently, "Ruan Guanying and Mi Wenqin are township party members."
"What Sister Xia said, I have a bit of an impression on this person." Cheng Qianfan said.
His father is Chinese and his mother is Japanese, and he works in the puppet regime. There are very few people with such an identity and background, even in the whole of Shanghai. When Liu Xia said this, Cheng Qianfan knew this person.
Pei Zhicun is from Suzhou and comes from a scholarly family. It is said that he was born in Tokyo, Japan. His father is Chinese and is a top student in the law department of Meiji University in Japan; his mother is Japanese and is a top student at the Tokyo Art College.
The Pei family was a well-known family in Suzhou. Pei Zhicun's uncle served as the former Qing Zhili Hou Butao and later as the minister to Austria.
For such a talented person from a scholarly family, who was willing to become a prostitute, Cheng Qianfan also sneered in his heart.
However, I thought about some of the rumors I had heard about this person.
.
, he was not surprised.
Pei Zhicun lost his father when he was young, and his mother took him to live in Shanghai. Because of his poor life, he once sent the young Pei Zhicun to Japan to study.
Having received a Japanese education and having a Japanese mother, this kind of person is inherently crooked. It seems not surprising that he is willing to be a Han woman.
"Mi Wenqin has great trust from Mr. Wang. I heard the secretary-general mentioned that after the new regime is established in the future, translator Mi will most likely work in the **." Liu Xia said, "Pei Zhicun has Mi Wenqin's help.
Now he is highly appreciated by Director Chen, and his future is limitless."
"Brother Fan." She said to Cheng Qianfan, "Although you are not bad, it is always good to make more friends."
"That's what Sister Xia taught me." Cheng Qianfan nodded and said with a smile, "I always treat my friends sincerely."
He recognized Liu Xia's words. Pei Zhicun should be taken seriously in Wang's puppet regime in the future, especially since Mi Wenqin was Wang's most trusted translator, and Chen Chunpu was Mrs. Wang's absolute confidant. Pei Zhicun was backed by These two people are indeed 'promising'.
This person is indeed worthy of his friendship.
He wanted to find out more. Although Pei Zhicun came from a scholarly and official family, he was quite embarrassed when he was young. He hoped that this person would take money more seriously.
…
Pei Zhicun came in with a thermos bottle, first helped Chen Chunpu pour out the tea in the cup, and then made new tea.
Then, he helped Chen Chunpu tidy up the files on the desktop.
Then, a list of supplies caught his attention.
The firepower equipment of the four reinforced platoons:
Two hundred Japanese-made Type 38 rifles;
Forty Japanese-made Southern Fourteeners;
forty boxes of Japanese-made grenades;
two bases of ammunition;
There are also medical alcohol, cotton wool, hemostatic bandages and other medical supplies.
The list was signed by Cheng Qianfan and Liu Xia, as well as Chu Mingyu's signature, and finally Chen Chunpu's signature.
Pei Zhicun's heart moved. This was the weapons and equipment of four reinforced platoons with full day-time firepower, not to mention the medical supplies.
This is obviously arms and supplies that Cheng Qianfan, a Han woman, obtained for the Wang Puppet regime. The question is what is the purpose of this batch of supplies?
Pei Zhicun quickly cleared the desktop, hoping to see other intelligence information in other files and lists, but found nothing else.
Chen Chunpu was writing at his desk. He raised his head and glanced at Pei Zhicun, and suddenly his heart moved, "Secretary Pei, I remember you are from Suzhou."
"Yes, director, I am from Panmeijiaqiao, Wu County." Pei Zhicun said.
"What is your impression of Liming Zuan?" Chen Chunpu asked, "I remember that this person once went out to Gusu."
"Commander Liming Zuan of the Nanjing First Pleasure Division?" Pei Zhicun asked.
"Exactly this person."
"I heard what the director said from my family. At that time, Commander Li was still the commander of the regiment under the direct warlord Sun Kewei and was stationed in Suzhou." Pei Zhicun said, "I heard from my family that the soldiers led by Commander Li were quite good. For those who dare to fight.”
Chen Chunpu nodded slightly, not to mention the combat effectiveness of Liming Zhuan's troops, the comment "Dare to fight" already satisfied him quite a bit.
"It seems that this deal is not a bad deal." Chen Chunpu said, rubbing his chin.
Pei Zhicun's heart moved.
However, there is no need for him to ponder and think anymore.
Chen Chunpu then took out the list from the documents he had sorted out. He pointed at the list and said to Pei Zhicun, "Cheng Qianfan and Liming Compilation have a long history. This is a new year's gift to Liming Compilation in the name of Cheng Qianfan."
"The First Division of Appeasement has..." Pei Zhicun looked happy and asked in a low voice.
"Not yet." Chen Chunpu shook his head slightly, "It's just to win over."
He looked at Pei Zhicun, "After the new year, I hope this matter will spread quietly and 'accidentally'."
"I understand." Pei Zhicun
.
Nod.
…
That afternoon.
No. 64, Shencheng, West Aixiansi Road, the secret base of the Jiangsu Provincial Party Committee.
As soon as Comrade Yi Jun returned home, Lan Xiaohu, the housekeeper, handed him a note.
Comrade Yi Jun's expression changed slightly when he saw the hidden message on the note.
He immediately went upstairs and took out a copy of Romance of the Three Kingdoms from the bookshelf.
Soon, he turned to the chapter number with that sentence:
God Zhuge Zhuang came out of Longshang and rushed to Jiangge Zhanghe to fall into the trap - Chapter 101.
After one hundred, go forward and subtract fifteen, before one hundred, go back and add... Urgent warning!
…
An hour later, Comrade Yi Jun appeared at Zhou Hexuan Teahouse at No. 86 Abbott Road.
He was holding a civilized stick in his hand, with a warm smile on his face. He glanced at the tea guests, and then went straight to the second floor.
Room No. 3, Qianzi.
Comrade Yi Jun waited for about three minutes when there was a gentle knock on the door.
"Sir, the Lu'an Guapian you want."
Comrade Yi Jun opened the door and said with a smile, "Okay, you finally remembered to pay back the melon slices you owed me last time."
The two looked at each other, entered the door, and closed the door behind their backs.
The visitor handed the bamboo can in his hand to Comrade Yi Jun, "Lu'an Guapian."
Since I said I would bring Lu’an Guapian, I must bring it.
Sometimes passwords can be made up randomly, but sometimes you need to pay extra attention, especially this kind of joint password.
"What you old comrades from Special Branch do is to make people feel reassured." Comrade Yi Jun nodded and said.
Compared with the young people who participated in organizational work after the outbreak of the all-out Anti-Japanese War, each of these "old comrades" who came from the Special Kosovo period is a "human spirit".
This is not a derogatory term. Only those who can survive the difficult and cruel fighting environment have the chance to become "human spirits".
"How are you doing in your new job?" Comrade Yi Jun asked.
This is his biggest concern.
"With Mi Wenqin's reputation, Chen Chunpu treats me quite well." The man smiled and said, "Of course, my own work ability is not bad."
