Although Jin Kemu announced the 'New Year's Banquet', Sui Erming still preferred that it was arranged by Cheng Qianfan behind the scenes.
Sui Erming smiled bitterly in his heart, he did not expect Cheng Qianfan to have such a strange trick in this situation.
He was complaining in his heart. As a result, the boss's 'cool trick' not only had no effect, but actually gave him Cheng Qianfan a platform.
This New Year's banquet held by the Central Patrol Room is tantamount to giving everyone a new choice, and it is also the best choice.
Those guests who avoided the difficulty of choosing sides would have a better impression of Cheng Qianfan.
"Steward Sui." Then he heard Cheng Qianfan say coldly.
"Boss Zhang is very lucky and has a good life. He may live for two more years." Mr. Xiao Cheng stared at Sui Erming secretly and said, "But guess what day your death anniversary will be?!"
Cheng Qianfan didn't dare to touch me.
Sui Erming said to himself.
Then there seemed to be a voice in his heart saying: Pang Shui, Zhan Si and the others thought the same way.
Sui Erming was also frightened by this idea.
He glanced at Cheng Qianfan and thought about it again and again. He only had one life, and after all he did not dare to challenge Cheng Qianfan's patience.
Sui Erming clasped his fists and said, "Vice President Cheng is moving into a new house. The gift has been delivered. Sui takes his leave."
As he said that, he winked at Su Wuyuan and walked quickly towards the car, as if if he stayed for a while, something bad would happen.
"It's gone, it's gone." Su Wuyuan didn't dare to stay. He waved his hand and led his men to disperse like birds and beasts.
…
"Brother Fan." Hao Zai walked up to Cheng Qianfan with an angry expression.
Brother Fan's moving celebration and King Rere's happy event were disturbed in this way. Brother Fan actually let these guys leave like this, so he was naturally very angry.
"Look at things, don't look at the surface. Who suffers, who gains, and who wins the hearts of the people." Cheng Qianfan pointed to his head, "Think more about it."
"I just feel angry." Hao Zai said.
Cheng Qianfan shook his head, "Remember, it's a husband to raise an army in anger and splash blood every five steps, but don't forget that if you endure it for a while, you will gain more."
"I don't understand." Hao Zai shook his head.
"If you don't understand, just think about it. Once you think about it, you'll understand." Cheng Qianfan laughed.
He took out his cigarette holder and took out a cigarette.
Hao Zai took a match and lit it.
Cheng Qianfan took a puff of his cigarette, looked at the firecracker debris on the ground, frowned, and finally waved his hand, "Go and take someone to sweep Dayunfang."
"Yes!" Hao Zai nodded happily.
Dayunfang is one of Zhang Xiaolin's three largest gambling stalls in the French Concession. It also sells pressed tablets (not a typo) and makes a lot of money every day. It is one of Zhang Xiaolin's money bags.
On the other side, Jin Kemu came to Chunfeng Deyi Building, and Mr. Jin found Su Zhe on the pretext of going to the toilet.
"What's going on with this speech?" President Jin asked with a frown.
He went up and read two sentences of this speech before he realized something was wrong. This was not a speech at the summit. It was simply a speech by the emcee.
"I didn't write this." Su Zhe took a look and shook his head.
"You didn't write it? Who was that? It was placed on my desk." Jin Kemu frowned, then his face changed and he snorted, "Lawless."
With that said, he folded the speech carefully, put it in his pocket, patted it, and walked away with his hands behind his back.
…
"Ruolan, thank you for your hard work." Cheng Qianfan returned home and looked at his wife's worried expression. He stepped forward and took Bai Ruolan's hand and took her for a walk in the back garden.
Bai Ruolan's due date is in early February, which is more than a month away, and the doctor told her to move around more.
Cheng Qianfan was already prepared for Zhang Xiaolin's possible move today.
He has carefully studied Zhang Xiaolin. Among the three tycoons in Shanghai, this person is at the bottom in terms of power, financial resources and strength.
The Japanese came, Huang Jingrong thanked the guests behind closed doors, and Du Yongsheng went to Hong Kong. Zhang Xiaolin was able to feel proud and became the "number one tycoon" in Shanghai.
This person has a very good face.
Zhang Xiaolin did not dare to disobey Sanbonjiro's orders and warnings, and did not dare to assassinate him. However, he did not take any action at all, which was not in line with Zhang Xiaolin's temperament.
Among the three of Huang Jingrong, Du Yongsheng and Zhang Xiaolin, Zhang Xiaolin is definitely the one with the least bottom line.
This person has a name, "Three Color Tycoon".
The first color is yellow.
The second color is black, and black is poison.
The third color is white, which means violent fighting, murder and arson.
It is impossible for a person to endure this forever.
Cheng Qianfan thought about it repeatedly and concluded that with Zhang Xiaolin's temperament, this person would definitely choose a high-profile time and occasion, most likely when he, Cheng Qianfan, was free and proud to cause trouble.
It neither hurts Cheng Qianfan nor disobeys Sanbonjiro's orders, but at the same time it can directly attack his prestige.
It was not Mr. Cheng's character to react passively and always be prepared for Zhang Xiaolin to cause trouble, so he decided to 'lead the snake out of its hole', and Zhang Xiaolin took the bait.
Bai Ruolan and Mrs. Tande are poker friends, and this new New Year's party is one of the preparations to prevent Zhang Xiaolin from causing trouble.
In fact, this plan also owes to Ruolan's 'making suggestions'.
When Zhang Xiaolin's people came to cause trouble, Bai Ruolan quietly called Mrs. Tande and invited Tande to attend the New Year banquet. This was thanks to Mrs. Tande's pillow talk. To be precise, Bai Ruolan took the greatest credit because she had done it before.
I learned from Mrs. Tander that Mr. Tander doesn’t have much official work these days and has free time:
The date of Mr. Xiao Cheng's housewarming was completely planned to suit Mr. Tande's free time.
"Husband and wife are one, why are you being polite to me?" Bai Ruolan gave her husband an angry look.
"My wife is still a female Zhuge." Cheng Qianfan laughed.
That night, many of the guests who came to congratulate me today also sent antiques, furniture and other items, saying that they had bought some furniture for Xiao Cheng to express their gratitude.
…
"Shameless!"
Cheng Qianfan's face showed a cold light, his fists were clenched, and he was very angry.
Just yesterday, Lin Bai was promoted to replace Wang Chuhai and issued a telegram-style statement to Chang Kaishen in the South China Daily News on Hong Kong Island, expressing his support for the policy of compromise with Japan in response to Konoe's third statement to China.
Because the final rhyme for the day on the 29th is "Yan", newspapers across the country quickly dubbed Wang Chuanhai's statement "Yandian".
Previously, after the Wang Group fled, the Chongqing government authorities kept the matter strictly confidential.
However, this matter is not trivial. It is not known who leaked the information. The military commander speculated that the Japanese side leaked the information intentionally.
Therefore, the news spread like wildfire, and people were talking about it. There were different legends, and there were many international speculations about this matter.
German newspapers even more categorically stated that Wang Chuanhai left Chongqing this time to negotiate peace issues with Japan on behalf of the Kuomintang Military Commission.
In this regard, four days ago, Chang Kaishen delivered a speech to senior members of the party, government and military at the Kuomintang Memorial Weekly Meeting. The 'Chairman of the Standing Committee' angrily denounced the "Japanese-Manchurian inseparable" proposition proposed in Konoe's statement in an attempt to destroy China.
Fallacies such as "East Asia Consortium" and "Establishing a New East Asian Order".
Later, Wang Chuhai's trip to Hanoi was also explained.
The national newspaper then widely reported that on his way to Kunming this time, Vice President Wang "suddenly discovered old heart problems and poor pulse, so he went to Hanoi for treatment."
The 'leader' of the national government then sent a telegram to Wang Chuanhai to advise him not to openly propose peace and express his disagreement with the central government, so as to prevent the enemy from taking advantage of the opportunity, and to go to Europe as soon as possible to recuperate for the time being.
They also sent people to Hong Kong to try to prevent Wang's message from being sent out.
Even so, Wang's traitorous peace talks were still published by Lin Baisheng to the public.
…
Cheng Qianfan was angry in his heart, and at the same time he was puzzled. It was really unbelievable that Wang Qianhai, who had once "made a quick move with a sword and lived up to his youth", had now reached the point where he was traitorous to his country and sued for peace.
.
"Brother Fan, Wang Chuanhai is a capitulator within the party-state. Now he has publicly defected to Japan. Only the staunch militant faction is left within the party-state. Isn't this a good thing?" Haozi asked.
"It's very rare that you can think of this level." Cheng Qianfan glanced at Haozi and said.
Haozi has never been to school and is able to care about national affairs. Thinking of this, it is indeed very good.
but--
Cheng Qianfan shook his head, "But you don't understand this matter..."
Cheng Qianfan frowned. He had an intuition that with Wang's appeal within the party, the impact of this person's public vote for Japan would be inestimable.
Haozi also frowned and thought. He really didn't understand. He just naively thought that the capitulationists openly surrendered to Japan, which was tantamount to scraping the bones to cure the poison. Isn't this a good thing?
…
"Brother Fan, Zhao Changgeng is back." Haozi remembered something and reported quickly.
"When did he come back? Have you found out where he went?" Cheng Qianfan asked immediately.
Previously, the Shanghai special situation team discovered that Zhao Changgeng was suspected of being secretly under house arrest, and found out that this person was from the Shanghai Station. He became suspicious and secretly sent people to pay attention to this person.
Just a few days ago, his subordinates reported that Zhao Changgeng secretly left, which aroused Cheng Qianfan's interest.
"We haven't found out where he went yet." Li Hao said, "However, that person who often goes to Zhao Changgeng's house, as soon as Zhao Changgeng came back yesterday, he went to Zhao Changgeng's house again."
"Did you take any pictures?" Cheng Qianfan asked immediately.
When he learned that there was a person who often visited Zhao Changgeng's house and behaved suspiciously, he ordered the Shanghai Special Intelligence Team to pay close attention to him. It would be best if he could take a photo of this person for identification purposes.
"Sister Hua pretended to be a tourist to take photos, and finally got this person in the photo," Li Hao said.
Sister Hua wanted to investigate Mao Kexin, and Xiao Mian had called the headquarters to ask for the single-eyelid woman sent by Dai Chunfeng.
Taking the photo handed over by Li Hao, Cheng Qianfan looked at it carefully:
Lu Xiaohua was wearing a cheongsam and a fur coat outside, standing in a flowery place. Not far from her, a man walking hurriedly came into the mirror.
Because of the distance and angle, the person's appearance is not clear.
Lu Xiaohua is four feet six inches tall.
Cheng Qianfan silently thought about Lu Xiaohua's height, estimated the distance, and roughly calculated that the man's height was about four feet eight inches.
He is four feet eight inches tall, has a stocky build, wears black-rimmed glasses, has strong steps, and stands straight when he walks.
soldier?
Agent?
This person seems to have received strict military training.
People from Shanghai Station?
Cheng Qianfan thought to himself.
He secretly noted the person's physical characteristics, lit the photo on fire, watched the photo turn into ashes, and then stirred it up with his fingers.
"Notify me, the negatives will be destroyed, the photos will be burned, and all will be processed." Cheng Qianfan ordered in a deep voice.
He had two guesses in mind.
First, this mysterious man is from Japan, and Zhao Changgeng may have committed treason.
Second, this person is from the Shanghai Station or from other anti-Japanese groups.
No matter which one it is, leaving photos will be a hidden danger. The former can easily arouse the suspicion of the Japanese and even lead to direct exposure. The latter may endanger the safety of one's own personnel.
"Yes!" Li Hao nodded.
He is now accustomed to Brother Fan's vigilance and cautious habits. In other words, under the influence of Cheng Qianfan, Li Hao has also developed a very cautious character.
…
"What did you find out?" Lu Xingge asked A Yuan.
"One of Xiaogu's brothers who is in the gang is the squad leader of the guard battalion of Deputy Commander He. According to what he said, there is indeed a person coming from Shanghai. He also said that this person is a distant relative of Deputy Commander He and has been here before." A Yuan
said.
"What's your name?" Lu Xinge asked.
"My surname is Chang, so they call him Brother Chang," A Yuan said.
Lu Xingge asked a few more questions. A Yuan did not get much information and could not confirm that this person was Zhao Changgeng. He could only give up for the time being and keep the matter in mind.
"Team leader, I heard that the Japanese caught up with a group of people who were fleeing." A Yuan looked sad, "They, these beasts, surrounded the people and shot them..."
Lu Xinge was silent, he already knew about this.
He Xingjian only led the evacuation himself, without caring about the lives and deaths of the people, which directly caused the Japanese army to catch up with the people who were fleeing in panic, causing appalling tragedy.
"Songjiang people are miserable." A Yuan said with red eyes.
Last year, during the entire Songhu Battle, Japanese warplanes carried out twenty-four large-scale bombings on Songjiang. The bombing lasted for three months. The entire city was bombed with ruins everywhere, and there were no traces of people on the streets.
The whole town turned into a ghost.
In particular, the inhumane Japanese fighter planes specifically found crowded places to bomb.
Among them, the most cruel and inhumane one is the "Songjiang Railway Station" tragedy.
At that time, the fleeing people were waiting for the train on the platform. Japanese fighter planes dropped many bombs wildly, killing more than 300 innocent people and seriously injuring more than 400 people. What is even more distressing is that most of them were women and children.
During the Battle of Songhu, the Japanese bombing of Songjiang reached a record high of dropping more than 130 bombs in one day, which instantly razed the busiest streets of Songjiang to the ground.
Songjiang City, which has a population of 100,000 people, was bombarded by Japanese warplanes in an inhuman and indiscriminate manner. The people either died or fled, resulting in numerous casualties. Until the fall of Songjiang, only five old people were left in this ancient town. The miserable scene was unbearable to watch.
