When Lu Ming came to He Zhonghan's office, there was another person in the office.
"Brother Lu, let me introduce to you. This is Dai Yunong. You have never met him before, but you will have to deal with him often in the future." He Zhonghan pointed at a middle-aged man with a long face and smiled.
"Brother Yunong, I have heard about your name for a long time. You have done great things in Jiming Lane, Nanjing." Lu Ming stretched out his hand and said with a smile.
The man opposite also stretched out his hand, shook Lu Ming's hand vigorously, and said with a smile: "I have admired Sir Lu for a long time. I am very honored to see you today."
"Yunong, Brother Lu is very benevolent and very universal. You don't have to be polite to him. Let's call each other brother. Don't let the superior come to the superior." He Zhonghan said with a smile.
"Then it's better to be respectful than obey orders." Dai Yunong smiled.
Lu Ming knew this person very well, even though he had never met him before.
Dai Li, Dai Yunong, a sixth-generation student of Huangpu. After the establishment of the Lanyi Club, he led ten people to set up an agent team in Jiming Lane, Nanjing, specializing in infiltrating Japanese and Chinese Communist underground organizations and conducting intelligence work. He is a workaholic and can
I worked around the clock for seven full days without feeling tired.
However, this man is also very lustful. Some people say that he can tangle with four or five women in a day and then work as usual without feeling physically exhausted at all.
It was also the first time for Lu Ming to see Dai Li in person. He had always seen this person's name on financial statements before.
Dai Li is only of average height, with a rugged appearance, a pair of big hands that are very powerful, a face with strong lines, and a pair of thick eyebrows that seem to have been grown specifically for killing.
Seeing Dai Li, Lu Ming was actually a little confused. It was said that Mr. Jiang had strict requirements for appearance when selecting officers. They must have good looks, preferably handsome, and be like him.
Dai Li at least did not meet Mr. Jiang's requirements in terms of appearance, but he also knew that Brother Yu Nong was already one of Mr. Chiang's most popular figures, and was certainly incomparable to Deng Wenyi and He Zhonghan.
What Dai Li lacks the most is his qualifications. Deng Wenyi and He Zhonghan were both born in the first generation of Huangpu, and Dai Li was born in the sixth generation. Although he is older than the two of them, he still belongs to the junior generation.
Lu Ming also heard people from the headquarters talk about the history of Dai Yunong's fortune. When these people come to Shanghai to visit, their biggest interest is to tell which headquarters has the favor of the principal, which one will be reused in the future, etc.
There are the most interesting things about Dai Yunong. It is said that he often stops the principal's car with a small notebook and reports all kinds of intelligence collected. He does this continuously for a year or two, not just a day or two.
Gradually, Dai Yunong came into the principal's sight. He was given the opportunity to speak at conferences and small meetings, and was finally reused as the director of the secret service department of the Fuxing Society headquarters.
"Brother Lu, probably next year, Yunong's office will be merged with Xu Enzeng's office, and the candidates for the two directors have been confirmed, namely Xu Enzeng and Yunong." He Zhonghan said.
"Congratulations, brother Yunong." Lu Ming said with a smile.
"Brother Lu needs more help from now on, especially the special work in Shanghai. Brother Lu will be paralyzed after leaving the Shanghai station." Dai Li said sincerely.
"How can it be so serious? Let's not talk about others. Let's talk about Yunong yourself. Your influence in Shanghai is not small. You have a very good relationship with Boss Du and Boss Huang. You and Wang Yaqiao are still sworn brothers." Lu Ming
said.
"Brother Lu is really good at everything. You know all about my basic skills." Dai Li said with a bitter smile.
"It's not that I know, it's that most people in Shanghai know. If I don't know anymore, it won't make sense." Lu Ming said frankly.
"Why don't you two brothers join us again?" He Zhonghan said jokingly.
Dai Yunong raised his hands excitedly, waiting for Lu Ming's answer.
"Forget it, I received a British and American education, and I'm not used to being the boss. But as long as we get along well and strengthen each other, we can be closer than brothers." Lu Ming said bluntly.
"Yes, Brother Lu is so right. We are a family now and should take care of each other."
The three of them talked for a while, and Dai Yunong said he had a task to perform, so he said goodbye and left.
Lu Ming looked at He Zhonghan and said with a smile: "Brother He, what does Yunong mean? He is about to become a prosperous person, so he doesn't need to be a slave to a little guy like me, right?"
"You are still a small person, so you are too humble. In the eyes of the principal, you have nothing but Huangpu status. Yunong has been reused, and you are not bad either." He Zhonghan smiled.
"Yunong is worried that you will go all out to establish the secret service department and leave the Shanghai Station alone. From the Blue Clothes Club to today's Fuxing Club, and in the future, the Military Investigation Bureau will be established. The Shanghai Station has accumulated rich experience. Facts have proved that
, without your help and leadership, the Shanghai Station would not be able to carry out its work at all." He Zhonghan's words can certainly represent the opinions of the headquarters.
"Shanghai has now become the front line of the struggle against the enemy. Various factions are fighting there. Of course I will serve the country, but my personal strength is too meager. I want to concentrate on dealing with the Japanese." Lu Ming said in a tentative tone.
.
"Yunong also believes that intelligence work in Shanghai is crucial to the great cause of the party and state. Although he has a good network of connections in Shanghai, he is not as good as you. Besides, he cannot be in charge of Shanghai. People like you are needed there. I believe it.
You will have great cooperation in the future." He Zhonghan cleverly avoided Lu Ming's question and even laughed to himself.
Lu Ming also laughed.
He Zhonghan knew his views on national affairs and partisanship, and everyone reserved their opinions as long as they did not cross the bottom line.
"Yunong is a staunch anti-communist faction, and I am a staunch anti-Japanese faction. We all have clear goals, so Brother He doesn't have to worry too much." Lu Ming joked.
"Seriously, the Shanghai Station cannot do without you, at least within a few years. If you really want to retire with success, then you must help the comrades at the Shanghai Station improve the intelligence network and improve various relationships. In fact, with
I feel ashamed that you said this. It is you who contributes the money or your efforts, but this is the principal's wish, and Yunong also thinks this arrangement is the best." He Zhonghan said sincerely.
Lu Ming knew that He Zhonghan came to him just to talk about this matter, so he couldn't help but laugh at himself: "It seems that I still have some value. Let me get out of here after you have completely used me up."
"Brother Lu, please don't say that. As long as you don't want to leave, no one will let you leave the Fuxing Society. Even if a military investigation bureau is established in the future, you will have a place. The principal's attitude on this point is very clear." He Zhonghan
Said solemnly.
"I'm not that greedy. My abilities are limited. If I have to be busy with the Secret Service in the future, I'll probably be exhausted and bruised. But since the Chairman means this, I can only obey his orders and help the Shanghai Station work hard for a few more years."
Lu Ming said.
"That's the best, please." He Zhonghan said sincerely, "One more thing, please. In the future, Yunong will have some secret action plans. This part of the funds cannot be reimbursed directly. He wants to reimburse it at the Shanghai Station. Brother Lu also
Need more help."
"No problem, the money matter is easy to discuss. Just give me the financial statement and I will sign for reimbursement directly." Lu Ming said grandly.
"Brother Lu is so loyal that I won't say any words of thanks."
Lu Ming really didn't care about spending more money, as long as he gave him financial statements. He didn't know what Sheng Youde wanted these statements for. Anyway, Sheng Youde thought these statements were more valuable than the money he spent.
From the Blue Clothes Club to the Fuxing Club, Lu Ming recorded every penny he spent in his account, and the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of China government would repay the principal with interest.
Lu Ming believed that Sheng Youde asked him to keep detailed accounts, not only to have evidence to rely on when repaying money in the future, but also for further considerations.
Sheng Youde may be trying to use financial methods to calculate the cost of maintaining security for a country, and use this to calculate what financial resources Japan will have to invade China.
"Brother Deng will be hosting at Qinhuai Restaurant at noon to congratulate Brother Lu. Some of our old brothers will attend. Brother Kangze came back from Jiangxi specially to congratulate you." He Zhonghan said.
"How dare you do this? Since Brother Deng has good intentions, I have no choice but to obey. However, I should be the one who invites everyone, and I can't let others pay for it." Lu Ming said with a smile.
He Zhonghan thought for a while and agreed. Originally, they wanted to join forces to invite Lu Ming, but everyone knew that Lu Ming really didn't lack the money for food.
When people from the headquarters go on business trips to Shanghai, Lu Ming spends his own money to treat everyone to meals and entertainment, which costs thousands of silver dollars a year.
