"Brother Lu, I will settle down in Shanghai in the future, and I will have to rely on your help in many places." Kang Ze chuckled while sitting on the comfortable sofa.
"Brother Kang is too polite. We are a family now. If my brother needs anything, just ask him." Lu Ming sneered in his heart.
"Yes, my brother." Kang Ze said quickly.
Lu Ming always felt that Kang Ze was a wealthy man with an unfathomable heart. Of course, to be able to achieve Kang Ze's position, there must be something about him that is beyond ordinary people.
Lu Ming did not modify the shopping list sent by Nanjing. They could buy whatever they wanted. He would not worry about the head office, he could just sign and transfer the money.
After Lu Ming signed all the forms and transferred all the money, he took Yuan Ziyuan and the others away. All that was left was to decorate the office, place items and other chores, which of course he didn't need to worry about.
"Master Lu, why do I feel that those soldiers are so scary? They all seem to have killed people, and their eyes are filled with fierceness." said a female financial accountant.
Lu Ming smiled, nodded and said, "Well, it's possible. They are all people who have fought in the war."
The young soldiers who have been recruited into various departments are basically the juniors after the Whampoa Military Academy moved to Wuhan. After leaving the school, they embarked on the battlefield of the Northern Expedition and charged forward as soldiers.
They survived the hail of bullets and were placed in various military and political systems after the Northern Expedition. After the establishment of the Blue Clothes Society, they were immediately summoned to Nanjing and Shanghai by Deng Wenyi.
These people have not only killed people, but have also seen their comrades die around them, and have an understanding and understanding of life beyond ordinary people.
"You don't have to be afraid, they don't dare to bully us." Yuan Ziyuan said with a smile.
"Yes, you should work hard after joining this unit. We won't cause trouble, but we are not afraid of any trouble. If anyone bullies you, you can come to me." Lu Ming said with a smile.
"It's still early to say this. They haven't officially approved it yet." Yuan Ziyuan just saw the list of all registered personnel because she needed to make a salary list.
The first batch of people to join, whether they are initiators or officers, have gone through the most stringent review and then reported to the Chief Guard's Office for approval.
Although Lu Ming did not submit his resume, people had already checked his resume clearly, created a file, and passed the review.
Yuan Ziyuan was specially approved to join. After rigorous investigation, the files of the other two female accountants have been submitted, but they have not been officially approved yet.
In the future, the procedure for recruiting members will be even more cumbersome. Applicants must be guaranteed by three recommenders, have a clean resume, and meet at least two of the three conditions. One is a member of the Kuomintang, the other is a Huangpu graduate, and the third is that he or she is no older than
Thirty years old.
The Blue Clothes Club is a youth club, and no one over thirty years old will be admitted.
It is really difficult to meet the three conditions, which means that the Blue Clothes Club is destined to be an all-elite lineup and the leading youth military and political organization in the country.
Of course, it is not certain how long this principle of preferring shortage over excess can be maintained. In the future, branches will be established in various places, and the standards will definitely have to be lowered. Otherwise, where can we find so many Huangpu elites?
Lu Ming drove Yuan Ziyuan and two of his subordinates out of the office building. The three girls were still nervous and excited. This was the first time they had seen so many soldiers. From now on, Ziyuan could drive them to and from get off work. .
Although they work in Lanyi Club, their salary is the same as in Sheng's, and they get a small salary here.
Lu Ming sent the three of them to Sheng's Industry and then drove back to the apartment.
When he got off the car, he saw Zhang Ziyang waiting for him.
"Brother, have you forgotten your roots and thrown our brotherhood into the Huangpu River?" Zhang Ziyang said angrily.
"Have you eaten gunpowder today, suffered from epilepsy, or been picked up and thrown into the ditch?" Lu Ming joked.
"Let me ask you, have you joined the Blue Clothes Club and are you still holding a senior position there?" Zhang Ziyang had an exaggerated expression on his face.
"That's right, but it's a long story. What's wrong, you don't agree?" Lu Ming didn't expect Zhang Ziyang to be so unacceptable.
"Why didn't you tell me that you joined the Blue Clothes Club? How could you forget me for such a good thing? Are you still my brother?" Zhang Ziyang said angrily.
"Come, this is not the place to talk. Let's go upstairs and talk." Lu Ming waved to him.
Lu Ming took Zhang Ziyang back to the room, and then said: "Brother, who did you hear that you can join the Blue Clothes Club at will? They want to be a member of the Kuomintang and a graduate of Huangpu. Which standard do you meet?"
"Don't you also..." Zhang Ziyang paused mid-sentence, he understood.
Lu Ming is neither a member of the Kuomintang nor a graduate of Huangpu. How could he join and hold a high position? It must have been arranged by Sheng Youde.
"Let me tell you, it's not a good place there. It's not a place where you think you can get promoted and make a fortune. The monthly salary of ordinary cadres is only more than one hundred yuan, and the salary of general staff is pitiful. Plus an allowance.
It's only fifty or sixty yuan, without any extra income, how can you bear it?" Lu Ming said with disdain.
"What, the salary is so low? It's impossible, right? Then how much money can you get?" Zhang Ziyang seemed unable to believe it.
"I only have a job allowance of more than 100 yuan, and I don't even get a salary." Lu Ming shrugged and said.
Although you can live well in Shanghai with more than 100 yuan a month, you must have your own house and don't have to spend money to rent a house.
If you want to rent a house, life will be very tight. This is Shanghai, where not only land is expensive, but the cost of living is also very high.
Director-Generals are not paid because they all retain their original high-level positions in the government and the military, and they still receive their salaries in their original departments. They only get an extra allowance when they come to Shanghai.
The officers also retained their original positions and still received their salaries from their original departments. However, because their salaries were low, they were given additional salaries and allowances.
Zhang Ziyang's enthusiasm suddenly turned into ice water. His monthly salary plus extra income is 1,800 yuan, which is not enough every month. If he can only get 200 to 300 yuan a month, he will have to suffer.
hungry.
"The Blue Clothes Club's program clearly stipulates that members cannot have any contact with gangs and various local forces, and cannot have any income outside. Can you bear it?" Lu Ming sneered.
"Okay, I won't go. But I don't understand why there are so many people clamoring to go in?" Zhang Ziyang wondered.
"Oh, I don't know the details. Besides, the recruitment of members is not open now. It's all internal selection. Most people don't meet the standards, so it's impossible to get in. When the recruitment is open in the future, it may be easier to get in." Lu Ming laughed.
road.
Speaking of which, one or two hundred yuan is not a high income, but in fact, not many people in various industries in society can earn so much money. A famous professor only earns one or two hundred yuan a month, which is considered a high income.
Zhang Ziyang is the detective of the police station. He was originally a fat man. He also had various connections with gangs and earned a lot of extra income. That's why he felt that the salary of Blue Clothes Club was too low.
"Ziyang, let me tell you the truth, even if that place pays you a high salary, I won't let you go in. It's not a good place." Lu Ming said with emotion.
"Okay, brother, I misunderstood you, let's go have a drink." Zhang Ziyang became happy again.
Lu Ming smiled bitterly and shook his head. There was nothing he could do against this guy.
While drinking, Zhang Ziyang told Lu Ming that he happened to meet An Gonggen on the street the day before yesterday, and the two went to have a drink.
"How is Brother An doing? I haven't seen him for a while." Lu Ming asked.
"He also has a little brother with him, who is also North Korean, named Yin Fengji. They are planning a secret operation." Zhang Ziyang said mysteriously.
"You can help them, but you must hide your identity and not show your face." Lu Ming warned.
"Do you understand what I mean? You kidnapped Xiao Ze and went to Hong Kong to rescue Miss Sheng. You still bypass me. You really don't treat me as a brother." Zhang Ziyang drank a large glass of wine and wiped it.
He spoke in a rough voice with his mouth closed.
"The main reason is that your identity is too sensitive. If you are involved in these things, can your director spare you? I thought twice and didn't call you." Lu Ming shook his head with a wry smile.
"I am always the first to tell you anything. An Gonggen and the others have received news that the Japanese may want to stir up trouble in Shanghai. They plan to hold another large-scale event. You should also pay attention to collecting intelligence in this regard. He
I may discuss it with you soon." Zhang Ziyang whispered.
The year 1932 was indeed a troubled year. The Battle of Songhu broke out shortly after the beginning of the year. Later, An Gonggen, Yun Bongji and other Korean martyrs also launched an assassination operation in Shanghai.
