The air conditioner works great in the summer, but is useless in the winter. Before the car warms up, the car has already reached its destination.
Lu Ming simply put a thick bearskin cushion on the seat, so that it didn't matter even if the air conditioner didn't heat it.
The winter in Shanghai is damp and cold. Even though Lu Ming has lived in the south since he was a child, he still feels uncomfortable everywhere, especially after living in the United States for a few years.
, this is also a habit developed in the United States.
When he arrived at Lanyishe, two soldiers on guard saw his car and hurriedly stood at attention and saluted.
The Blue Clothes Club transferred a platoon of guards, all of whom were brought from Nanjing. They all already knew Lu Ming and recognized his car. After all, Cadillacs were not very common in Shanghai.
Lu Ming went directly to the fourth floor and came to his office, which was already very luxuriously decorated.
The office chairs and long desk are all made of mahogany, as well as luxurious sofas and tea sets. There is a row of mahogany bookshelves and two iron safes. There is also a carpet in the middle of the room.
Kang Ze's office was exactly the same as his, that is, the specifications of the offices of the division chiefs and ministers were downgraded by one level, and the office equipment of each department was downgraded by another level, but it was still many times better than their conditions in the military camp.
All rooms in this building have fireplaces, and you can imagine how much the Belarusian nobles enjoyed them.
There were neat logs of firewood stacked in front of the fireplace. Lu Ming lit the firewood first and started a fire. After a while, the temperature in the room came up.
He went over and weighed the hot water bottle, which was already filled with hot water. These were made by the orderlies of the General Affairs Office.
He took a fine porcelain teacup from Jingdezhen, boiled it with hot water, and then made a cup of top-quality Lushan Yunwu.
In fact, he is not particular about drinking tea. He drank it at Sheng Youde's last time and thought it tasted good, so he ordered half a pound of tea.
This is his personal benefit. The tea in other offices is bought from the market.
He had just finished making tea when Kang Ze walked in and said with a frown: "Brother Lu, it's too luxurious, too luxurious. The chairman's office is not so particular."
Lu Ming smiled. He also knew that Kang Ze was telling the truth. The chairman's personal life was indeed relatively simple. It was said that he had developed a habit in the Japanese Army Officer School. But to say how honest he really was, Kong and Song
The family will smile crookedly.
Living a simple life and being an honest official are two different things. It is not uncommon for corrupt people to wear patched clothes to appear in history.
"You didn't spend a dime from the party and state, so there's nothing to be afraid of. Just consider it your blessing." Lu Ming joked.
"I asked Brother Lu, have we gone too far? It's not too cold today, and there is a fire. There is no fire in the chairman's office in winter, only the wife's room." Kang Ze said with a wry smile again.
"I don't know about this. Anyway, I am most afraid of the cold and can't live without a fire. If Brother Kang and the brothers like to carry it without lighting a fire, I don't have a problem with it. But I specially applied for the money for these firewood and charcoal.
, it is not included in our normal office expenses.”
Kang Ze had nothing to say. He also knew that it was unrealistic for a young man like Lu Ming to live a hard life with soldiers like them.
In fact, they don't want to live a hard life. Who doesn't want to enjoy a good life? Otherwise, why would they want to make a revolution? It's just that conditions didn't allow it in the past, so they gradually got used to it.
Kang Ze returned to his office, looked at it again and again, and felt that it was still very good. It was much more comfortable than his office in Nanjing. He turned around and saw the firewood and charcoal in front of the fireplace. After thinking about it, he decided to call the adjutant.
The fire in the fireplace is lit.
Lu Ming went downstairs and walked around every office. As expected, no one was as pretentious as Kang Ze. They had already lit a fire in the fireplace in the room. Everyone sighed that it was so comfortable.
"Brothers, since you have arrived in Shanghai, you must fully enjoy the joy of life in Shanghai. We revolutionary soldiers are not born to be ascetics, right?" Lu Ming said with a smile.
"Director-General Lu, didn't you have no money before? Who wouldn't want to live a comfortable life with money?" a division chief said with a smile.
"As long as I'm here, at least our Shanghai branch will always have sufficient funds, so don't worry," Lu Ming said with a smile.
"Thank you very much, Director Lu." Everyone in the club was smiling, happy that they had chosen to come to the Shanghai branch. They knew that all the money was obtained by Lu Ming, and they were not afraid even if Nanjing sent an inspection team to inspect.
Lu Ming went back after walking around. Only the telecommunications office was the one he didn't go in. It wasn't that he didn't have the right to go in. The secretary-general was not allowed to enter anywhere in the Blue Clothes Club, but he wanted to avoid suspicion.
He stood outside the telecommunications office and asked them if they were satisfied with the working environment, if there were any inconveniences, what office supplies they needed, etc.
The two directors of the Telecommunications Department also claimed that there was no shortage of anything. Everything they needed was provided, even what they did not expect.
"If you are short of anything, fill in the report immediately and I will approve the money for you to purchase. The work of the Telecommunications Department is a top priority and must be ensured first." After Lu Ming finished speaking, he waved his hand and turned around to leave.
Back in his office, Lu Ming sat on a chair, sneering in his heart.
Iron-blooded soldiers? The luxury of Shanghai will soften your muscles and bones, and the prosperity of Shanghai will make you dazzled by the five colors. Enjoy Shanghai to your heart's content, and then you will fall.
He felt much relieved. He had been depressed all day yesterday and felt very depressed. Today he finally let it out.
After drinking a cup of tea, he went to the finance department and started processing various reports and fund application forms.
He read it over and signed it directly. These statements and fund application forms were registered and recorded by two female accountants. The originals were immediately sealed in the financial files, and the copies were taken away for use.
This is all genuine information and is top secret.
After finishing the financial matters, Lu Ming returned to the fourth floor, only to see a young female secretary, about 20 years old, sitting behind a desk in front of Kang Ze's door. She was holding her hands and exhaling, with her shoulders curled up.
Lu Ming immediately became angry. These bastards knew how to bully girls. The men were all warming themselves up in the house, but they let a girl sit in the cold corridor.
Lu Ming couldn't bear to see this scene, so he immediately went back to the house and took out a copper hand stove covered with fur, then put a few pieces of red-hot charcoal into the hand stove and covered it with a fur cover.
He walked over with the hand stove and handed it to the female secretary.
"Director-General Lu." The female secretary quickly stood up and saluted.
"Use this, girls are not like men and cannot catch cold, otherwise it will cause the disease." Lu Ming said with a smile.
"Is this suitable? You should keep it for use." The female secretary was a little afraid to accept it.
"Why isn't it appropriate? I think it's appropriate. Whoever thinks it's inappropriate should ask him to come to me." Lu Ming said domineeringly.
"Thank you very much." The female secretary quickly took the stove and held it in her arms.
"Who is talking outside?" Kang Ze's voice came from inside the room.
"It's me, Lu Ming, chatting with your secretary." Lu Ming took two steps forward and smiled at the door.
"Oh, let's talk then." Kang Ze stood up from the chair and quickly replied with a smile.
"Your name is Liu Qiwen, right? I seem to have seen it on the roster." Lu Ming said with a smile.
"Yes, Secretary-General, my name is Liu Qiwen, and I am nineteen years old today." The female secretary said quickly.
"Well, the stove will get cold soon. You can go directly to my room to add charcoal. My room is not locked." After Lu Ming finished speaking, he left.
Kang Ze and his adjutant in the room looked at each other and smiled.
The adjutant smiled and said, "Secretary-in-Chief Lu is really a romantic. The rumors are indeed true."
Kang Ze shook his head and said, "You're not accurate enough."
When he saw Lu Ming in the morning, Kang Ze secretly estimated in his heart that with his expensive outfit, slender figure and handsome face, this boy was definitely a girl killer.
Kang Ze means that Lu Ming is not romantic at all, but he is a girl killer.
This is actually a very troublesome thing. You care about and help others, and they fall in love with you, but in the end, you have no follow-up and just get lost.
But Kang Ze didn't know anything, and he would never have thought that Lu Ming's killer identity was not targeting weak women, but the so-called "iron-blooded soldiers" like them.
What Lu Ming shows them now is his soft side, his emotional side, and one day he will show them his decisive and killing side.
