Whether it is in the prosperous Shanghai or an ordinary Jiangnan town, no matter what industry or industry, as long as it is a profitable business, there is more or less the shadow of Sheng's industry.
Sheng's industry is like a big tree, its roots penetrate deeply into the soil, and its tentacles spread to every corner of Jiangnan's economy.
Absorbing a steady stream of wealth from the entire Jiangnan economy nourished this big tree, which in turn spawned and sprouted many new branches and vines in the land of Jiangnan.
"Brother Lu, don't you feel aggrieved that I didn't award you a special reward this time?" He Zhonghan asked Lu Ming with a smile.
"What do I have to feel wronged about? Since the day I joined this organization, I have never thought of getting any benefits from it." Lu Ming said lightly.
"I know that this operation is mainly due to you. How can Weng Bailing have such ability? I know this very well, but if this stall has to maintain operation, you will only suffer a loss." He Zhonghan observed Lu Ming's expression.
road.
"Brother He, let me tell you the truth. I am not a member of the party. I am a guest in the Fuxing Society after all. What is there to argue about? I just have a clear conscience." Lu Ming said with a calm smile.
"This is the realm. I am far inferior to you. But I don't agree with you saying you are a guest. You are a comrade and a loyal friend of our party!" He Zhonghan praised.
"Brother He, thank you for the award. There is no real realm to speak of. I have no desire for money or power. I am nothing more than a free nationalist." Lu Ming said with emotion.
"Yes, I often say at the headquarters that Director Lu is busy paying salaries and bonuses to others every day. He doesn't even get a salary. He is purely making contributions to the party and the country." He Zhonghan picked up his wine glass and greeted Lu Ming.
Lu Ming drank the wine in one gulp and changed the subject: "This group of new students sent from the headquarters has brought vitality to Shanghai Station. Thanks to Brother He and Brother Deng, the Fuxing Society is really prosperous now."
"The Fuxing Society is what it is today, and it is inseparable from your brother's dedication." He Zhonghan said sincerely.
"Everywhere, it's all cultivated by the Chairman. I talked nonsense at the special meeting of the Military Committee last time. I didn't bring you any trouble." Lu Ming said with a grin.
He Zhonghan quickly waved his hand and said: "What trouble are you causing?" The principal praised him greatly and also lamented to me. If the officials and soldiers of the party and state were like you, why worry about the resurgence of the party and state's cause, and why worry about the great cause of national reunification.
Can we drive away the Japanese and eliminate the Communist Party?"
Lu Ming smiled and said nothing. In He Zhonghan's series of comparisons, he only remembered the words "driving away the Japanese". That was the purpose when he joined the Blue Clothes Club. Now that he is in the Fuxing Club, the task is even more difficult.
"Brother Lu, I have something important to discuss with you tonight. It's inconvenient because there are so many people here." He Zhonghan said in a low voice.
Lu Ming nodded and said nothing. He already had a premonition of what He Zhonghan was going to talk to him about.
At this time, Weng Bailing came over with a glass of wine and toasted to He Zhonghan, "Thank you Jun for your cultivation. I will do my best in my humble post and serve the party and the country with all my heart."
He Zhonghan smiled and said: "The person you should be most grateful to is Director Lu, who helped you get this medal and the colonel's epaulette."
"Thank you, Sir Lu. I was disrespectful to you a few days ago, so I'd like to ask you to give me more." Weng Bailing was reluctant in every possible way and looked embarrassed, but he had to lower his head.
"We are colleagues, and colleagues should help each other. I don't care about your attitude towards me at work, but if someone stabs me in the back, I won't be polite." Lu Ming said expressionlessly.
After hearing this, Weng Bailing felt a chill running down his spine, and he was sober from drinking. He thought to himself: Did that bitch Liu Qiwen tell Lu Ming? Ordinarily she wouldn't. Her brother's life is still in my hands.
Weng Bailing finished the toast and left. He Zhonghan looked at the attitudes of the two of them and said, "I know there is some friction between you, but I don't know why. It seems that you two are not the same people."
"It's nothing. It's just a disagreement at work. Webmaster Weng thinks that our action was a failure because it was in vain. I think that we have found out the den of the Shanghai Municipal Working Committee of the Communist Party of China and made them flee.
This is a major victory achieved by the Fuxing Society." Lu Ming explained.
"Of course, the detection of such important information from a deceased person shows that the Shanghai Station of Fuxing Society is already a leader in the intelligence front of the party and the state. Even the principal feels proud. This Weng Bailing is really brainless." He Zhonghan knew very well how to solve such cases.
Difficulty.
The two were chatting, Huang Yanning and several division chiefs also came over to toast, then the section chiefs, and finally the captain of the second action team. Except for Weng Bailing, everyone else toasted to the two officers at the same time, and then said a few words.
talk.
The reception didn't end until three in the afternoon, and then Lu Ming drove He Zhonghan to a large bathhouse. The two of them took a bath, sauna, and massage. After a massage, their bodies felt much more relaxed, and they were almost sober from the alcohol.
The two of them were wrapped in bath towels and sitting in a private room drinking tea. Only then did He Zhonghan say: "Brother Lu, you have to go to the Nanjing headquarters the day after tomorrow."
"Is there any important action at the headquarters?" Lu Ming asked.
"Congratulations to you. The principal will hold a secret investiture ceremony for you, and will directly grant you the position of major general counselor of the Nanjing Military Commission." He Zhonghan said with a happy face.
"Major General, that's a military rank. I'm not a soldier, so it's inappropriate." Lu Ming declined.
"Since you are a member of the Military Committee of the Republic of China government, of course you must have a military position, and you are not allowed to lead troops to fight. What are you afraid of?" He Zhonghan smiled.
Lu Ming was surprised by the award. He could have expected the award because Mr. Chiang had previously promised that as long as he successfully planned a revenge plan against the Japanese, he would personally award him the award.
"Brother Lu, you are the first person in our system to be promoted to major general, and you are awarded directly. Congratulations!" He Zhonghan said with a smile.
There is no shortage of generals in the Fuxing Society system, including the webmasters and deputy webmasters of the headquarters, but there is really no one who has been promoted to major general during his service in Fuxing Society. Not to mention that Lu Ming is not a soldier. He started from scratch and was directly awarded the rank of major general.
"Is the Chairman planning to kick me away and give me some compensation in advance?" Lu Ming joked.
He suddenly thought that Mr. Chiang's appointment as a major general counselor of the Military Commission of the Republic of China government was nothing more than an honorary post and a glorious name.
Of course, you must say that he has substantial rights, but after all, unlike a major general serving in the military, he has his own organization and troops.
Is this a sign that you want to kick him out of the Fuxing Society?
"You are overthinking. To be honest, anyone in the Fuxing Society can leave. You can't leave. You are the God of Wealth. If you leave, all the members of the Fuxing Society will eat and drink. Otherwise, they will fall apart in three months." He Zhonghan
After saying that, he burst into laughter.
"The Fuxing Society will be incorporated into the government system sooner or later. It is also a matter of time before I leave. I am mentally prepared." Lu Ming said honestly and fairly.
"Since you mentioned this, I won't hide it from you. The Fuxing Society will undergo a major reorganization next year. The principal intends to merge the Military Investigation Bureau of the Central Executive Committee, Xu Enzen's department, with the Fuxing Society.
By forming a new unit and establishing the Military Investigation Bureau of the Republic of China government, our Fuxing Society can be regarded as a daughter-in-law who has become a mother-in-law after many years of marriage." He Zhonghan said with a smile.
"So fast? I thought it would take two or three years." Lu Ming felt a little surprised. It can be seen that Mr. Jiang's demand for intelligence work is too strong.
The upgrade of the Fuxing Society to a formal national intelligence agency has actually been in the chairman's plan for a long time. This was the intention when the Blue Shirt Society was founded, but the transition period has obviously been shortened.
"Isn't the Central Executive Committee Guo Lao's territory? Then who will directly lead the merged Military Investigation Bureau of the Republic of China government?" Lu Ming asked.
"You know enough, brother. Of course, the merged unit will still be led by the principal himself." He Zhonghan said with certainty.
"Guo Lao is willing to give up the territory he has been operating for many years?" Lu Ming also heard a lot of rumors.
"Don't listen to the nonsense from outsiders. No matter Mr. Guo, Mr. Li, or the principal, they are of the same mind. There is no such thing as Jiang Jiajun and Chen Jiadang." He Zhonghan said.
At that time, a widely circulated theory among the people was that the money of the Jiang Jiajun, Chen Jiadang, and Song and Kong families were the so-called four major families.
