Early the next morning, someone knocked on the door. Lu Ming opened the door and saw that it was General Wen Bai's adjutant.
"The general is waiting for you in the restaurant downstairs," the adjutant said.
Lu Ming just finished washing up, quickly got dressed and followed the adjutant to the hotel restaurant.
When he came in, he saw Liu Qiwen and He Zhonghan's female secretary also dining here. Seeing him coming in, they wanted to stand up, but Lu Ming quickly waved them to continue eating.
Mr. Wenbai was sitting in a corner waiting for him. Breakfast was already set on the table, including vegetable porridge, steamed dumplings, two glasses of milk and boiled eggs.
Lu Ming came to the table and sat down. Mr. Wenbai smiled and said, "Did you sleep well last night?"
"Slept well." Lu Ming nodded and picked up an egg.
"Why are you not wearing a military uniform or a medal?" Mr. Wenbai asked in surprise.
"Well, I don't like to express myself, I want to be simple." Lu Ming said with a smile.
"Okay, you are ambitious. But you may not know the value of a Blue Sky and White Sun Medal. Let me tell you, a Blue Sky and White Sun Medal is equivalent to a death-free gold medal. In other words, no matter how big a mistake you make in the future,
As long as you don't rebel and surrender to the enemy, and betray your country for glory, there is basically no problem." Mr. Wen Bai said with a smile.
"Even if I don't have a medal, I will not break the law or discipline. I just wonder why the government awarded me the highest medal of honor. I really feel that I am not qualified. How can my achievements be compared with those of you who went to the battlefield to kill the enemy?
" Lu Ming said doubtfully.
"Why was it awarded to you? Because you deserve it. The conditions for awarding the Medal of the Blue Sky and White Sun are extremely strict. It is better to give it to others than to waste it. Since it is awarded to you, it means that you have passed the strict assessment. During this qualification review process, Mr. Wang and Minister Song tried their best
Recommended, especially Mr. Wang played an important role." Mr. Wenbai was obviously very satisfied with this matter.
Lu Ming smiled bitterly and frowned. This was something he didn't expect. Even if Mr. Wang wanted to win over him, he didn't need to spend such a huge amount of money.
"Don't doubt yourself. In this "128" Songhu Anti-Japanese War, your achievements are irreplaceable by others. That's why we can award you the Medal of Blue Sky and White Sun. The only thing that makes me feel strange is that all the factions unanimously agreed to award it to you."
It is thought-provoking to award this medal." Mr. Wenbai smiled.
Lu Ming didn't know the reason for this. He believed that Mr. Wenbai also knew it, but he just didn't say it. The reason behind this was naturally related to Sheng Youde and his American teacher Flanders.
He also has personal factors, but when these big shots compete with each other, his little power is insignificant.
But now he is just a pebble. This pebble has one function when the situation is unclear: throwing stones to ask for directions.
"I feel worthy of this medal. If it weren't for General Cai, General Jiang and you who led the troops to fight against the enemy, I wouldn't be able to have breakfast leisurely here. I don't know where to take refuge." Lu Ming sighed with emotion.
road.
"As for Jiang Guangnai, General Cai Tingkai and me, I am a soldier. It is my duty to resist foreign aggression. It is my duty to die in battle. There is no merit. If there is any merit, it is the credit of all the soldiers." Mr. Wenbai laughed while talking.
The cheerful temperament of a soldier was revealed.
"The lives of ordinary people in Shanghai have returned to peace. When you led your troops to withdraw from Shanghai, Uncle Sheng didn't even have time to treat you to a meal..." Lu Ming remembered that after the battle, Sheng Youde asked him to bring a message to Zhang Wenbai.
, asked him to have a meal, but the troops left Shanghai in a hurry.
"I'm busy. You see, I'm just as busy now. I originally wanted to invite you to my house for a casual meal, but I can only have breakfast here." Mr. Wenbai showed a tired look on his face.
"Sir, you are too polite. No need to bother. I will definitely visit your house when I have the opportunity. I also want to get to know your family." Lu Ming looked at Mr. Wenbai respectfully and said.
"There must be a chance. In addition, I came to you because I have something to tell you. You have become prominent now and are no longer an insignificant person, so all parties are showing favor to you and want to draw you over. Now within the party
, there are many factions in the army, you must not get involved, remember my words: always follow Duke Sheng, and don’t be fooled by anyone’s conditions.”
"Don't worry, I don't think anyone can offer better terms than Uncle Sheng." Lu Ming said with a relaxed smile.
"That's true, haha, who can compare with Sheng Gong's handiwork?" Mr. Wenbai breathed a sigh of relief and smiled reassuringly.
"The Chairman said yesterday that he would assign me a more important task next year... I am..." Lu Ming hesitated.
"Well, I want you to set up another special agency. Jiang Gong wants to take advantage of the fact that the Japanese have not been able to invade China in the past two years and completely wipe out the Communist Party. How can it be so easy? Duke Sheng said
The Japanese will not give us ten years. We only have five years left. What will happen if we continue to suffer from internal friction."
Mr. Wenbai started to feel sad and angry again when he talked about this topic.
"Uncle Sheng has always taught our children and younger generations that China's wise people must adhere to the legacy of the former Prime Minister. When I run a special agent school, my gun will never be pointed at the Chinese." Lu Ming understood the meaning of Mr. Wenbai's words.
.
"As long as you understand, they are trying to win over you. In fact, they want to win over Sheng Gong. In addition to the party, government and military, there is another important force, which is wealth and Sheng Gong. You are the plenipotentiary representative of Sheng Gong." Mr. Wen Bai
As he spoke, he waved his arms.
"Thanks to your teachings, this junior understands." Lu Ming said.
Lu Ming does have self-awareness. Even if he becomes famous, he only has a little weight. He is just a giant in the Lilliputian country.
The giants in the kingdom of giants, such as Jiang, Wang, and Song Dynasty, were determined to win over him simply because he had the giant Sheng Youde behind him.
"Little guy, when you grow up, the road ahead will be more difficult, but don't be afraid. If you encounter difficulties, come to me. I can at least tell you how to deal with it, and I can more or less help you solve some problems."
Mr. Wenbai smiled heartily.
"Thank you sir for your support." Lu Ming said gratefully.
The two of them ate breakfast while talking. After eating, Mr. Wenbai hurried to work.
Lu Ming looked around and found that Liu Qiwen was still waiting for him, so he walked over and sat next to him and smiled: "Did you enjoy the meal?"
"It's pretty good. It's better than the breakfast made in our cafeteria." Liu Qiwen said with a smile.
Then she chirped and talked about how He Zhonghan's female secretary took her shopping yesterday, saying that she bought a lot of clothes but ended up spending all the money and that she would be nervous next month.
"I will reimburse you how much you spent." Lu Ming said with a smile.
"That's not okay, I can't take advantage of the public." Liu Qiwen stuck out her tongue.
"It's not the public reimbursement, it's my private reimbursement." Lu Ming said with a smile.
"Director Lu, can you reimburse me for my expenses?" He Zhonghan's female secretary took over and said with a smile.
"you can."
Lu Ming took out his wallet, took out a thousand-yuan banknote and stuffed it into Liu Qiwen, and said with a smile: "What you spent yesterday will be reimbursed here. You two will spend the rest today, and you are not allowed to leave any leftover."
"I'm kidding, how dare you take the officer's money." Liu Qiwen panicked and put the banknote back on the table.
"I brought you here. I was supposed to take you shopping and give you some gifts, but I don't think I have time today, so let this comrade take you shopping. The expenses are all my own, so you don't have to save them for me.
Money." Lu Ming said with a smile.
"I'm not that comrade, but I also have a name. Director Lu, my name is Liu Cuicui. It's a very rustic name." He Zhonghan's secretary said with a smile.
"Comrade Liu, thank you for taking Xiaowen shopping. It's nice to meet you." Lu Ming stretched out his hand.
Liu Cuicui hurriedly held Lu Ming's hand. She now understood why countless girls liked this officer.
With this kind of style, no little girl can resist him. Not to mention that this officer looks like Pan An and is older than Song Yu. Even if he is ugly, he will not lack the love of women.
Just as he was talking, He Zhonghan's adjutant came to Lu Ming and said that it was Chief He who invited him.
Lu Ming waved to the two secretaries and followed the adjutant to the headquarters of Fuxing Society.
Liu Qiwen was a little confused when she took the banknote Lu Ming gave him. The numbers on the banknote made her feel like she was dreaming. She had never seen so much money before.
"If we really accept it, aren't we a bit thick-skinned?" Liu Cuicui asked a little shyly.
"Take it, I'll go to the mall today to do some shopping and spend all this money. He has already received the Medal of the Blue Sky and White Sun. Let's enjoy his happiness and help him spend money." Liu Qiwen said a little excitedly.
"Ah, okay, let's go do some shopping." Liu Cuicui also said a little crazy.
What girls love most is to go shopping and eat various gourmet meals.
Yesterday they saw a lot of coveted clothes and jewelry, but unfortunately they had no money to buy them, so they had to buy them for the eyes. Now that they have money, they hurried to buy them for the hand.
