An Yi returned to the house, her hard shell loosened, and she threw herself on the bed, her heart beating loudly, as if she had returned to her girlhood again.
She was a little shocked that she had the guts to talk so loudly about male marriage and female marriage, which she had never dared to think about before.
Although An Yi is nearly thirty years old, she is still a virgin after all, has never been married, and has never even been in a formal relationship.
Since joining the revolution, she has felt that falling in love is a vulgar taste belonging to the petty bourgeoisie and must be completely abandoned. Revolutionaries should behave like revolutionaries, even when it comes to marriage.
But she didn't know what a revolutionary's marriage should be like, and no one taught her.
Speaking from her own heart, An Yi felt that she was quite picky. When she participated in student social activities, she encountered boys pursuing her. When she entered the army, many young officers were very enthusiastic about her.
But I don't know why, but she is not moved at all. On the one hand, she lives in her own lofty ideals and ambitions, and feels that her personal love affairs are insignificant.
On the other hand, she didn't fall in love with any of the young men. To put it bluntly, she had never experienced the feeling of being moved.
Time flew by without stopping, but for some reason there was a sudden pause today.
Is this the so-called fate? An Yi doesn't believe in fate, but she is in it and has no intention of overturning the reality in front of her.
"I do this to work better and to better complete the tasks assigned to me by the organization. This is not a vulgar taste, but a work requirement." She defended herself in her mind.
An Yi couldn't say whether she loved Mr. Dong or how much she admired him, but she felt that the man was very calm and reliable first, and not annoying at all. He was even quite cute in many cases.
This is enough in her opinion.
When An Yi first arrived in Shanghai, she was somewhat disdainful and even hostile to Lao Dong, thinking that he had been corrupted and won over by Lu Ming and became a dangerous person. Now her suspicion of Lu Ming can be lifted. Her previous misunderstanding of Mr. Dong
It turns into clouds and smoke.
Through what happened in the past two days, she deeply reflected on her behavior, and unconsciously began to admire Lao Dong.
She had only been in Shanghai for a few days, and her identity was almost discovered by the enemy. As an old underground party member who had been lurking in Shanghai for many years, Lao Dong had a lot to learn from him.
What's more, Lao Dong is the most trusted agent in the headquarters. For the cause of the party, he is still unmarried. Doesn't he deserve respect?
An Yi basically knew nothing about what marriage was about. She didn't have any yearning for marriage. On the contrary, she was somewhat resistant or even afraid.
At the headquarters, a married elder sister once whispered to her that marriage is a paradise of pleasure for men, but it is endless torture for women.
She also knew that this eldest sister was unkind to others, her two marriages had failed, and she looked much older than her peers.
From that time on, she had a sense of resistance and fear towards marriage, but she had to overcome this resistance and fear for the sake of revolutionary work.
The next day, Lu Ming did not go to work. He called Weng Bailing and said that he was busy and would not go to work today.
Weng Bailing agreed with a smile on the phone and joked, "Sir, it's up to you." But he immediately became furious after putting down the phone.
Lu Ming was not asking for leave, it was clearly a superior ordering a subordinate, but there was nothing he could do about it. After all, Lu Ming was always overpowering him in both rank and position.
His position as the webmaster is simply a joke, as if he dreamed of becoming the emperor, only to find out when he woke up that he was just a eunuch serving the emperor.
"You surnamed Lu, just wait. If I don't bring you down, I won't give you the surname Weng." Weng Bailing said fiercely in his heart.
If Lu Ming knew his psychology, he would definitely feel innocent. Weng Bailing has completely fallen into a mental misunderstanding. This is because he is competing with himself.
Lu Ming didn't mean to look down on Weng Bailing, nor did he treat Weng Bailing as a subordinate. When Kang Ze was in office, Lu Ming had the same attitude towards Kang Ze. Kang Ze didn't think there was anything wrong. In the final analysis, it was Weng Bailing's own jealousy.
Heart and inferiority complex are at work.
Lu Ming called Liuyuan and asked for Sheng Youde, but unfortunately Sheng Youde was not there. He said he had gone to Hong Kong and would not be back for a few days.
Lu Ming was a little disappointed. He needed Sheng Youde very much now and needed Sheng Youde to help him cleanse the toxins that Mr. Wang had instilled in him.
Since Sheng Youde went to Hong Kong, he had to wait a few days before talking.
Lu Ming sat at the table, looked at the list Mr. Dong gave him, and began to allocate which stores to purchase which supplies on the paper.
Now he has hundreds of business names, companies, and stores, all of which were invested and established by Sheng Industrial. The property rights still belong to Sheng Industrial. They can be used to conceal the identity of the latent agents of the Fuxing Society, and can also be used as a base of communication.
Although China and Japan have signed an armistice agreement, this latent plan has not been cancelled. After Kang Ze left Shanghai, he alone was in control of this plan, and now it has finally come into use.
The biggest headache for Lu Ming was still arms and medicines. He called Ning Zetao and asked him if he could smuggle arms and medicines.
Ning Zetao didn't know what he was going to do, so he didn't ask any questions. He paused for a long time, probably discussed it with his men, and then told him that he could smuggle some, but the amount wouldn't be very large.
Lu Ming knew this would be the result, but he still emphasized: "As much as you can smuggle, I want these materials no matter how much they are, and time is very tight."
Ning Zetao responded: "I will try my best."
As for the radio, generator, and spare parts for the radio, there is no need to worry about it. He has already purchased a batch and placed them in a warehouse of Sheng's Industry. He will give these to Mr. Dong first and then order them to a British firm when needed.
Just one will do.
After thinking about it, the procurement of arms and illegal drugs is still a very difficult matter.
In the end, Lu Ming could only call Kenta Eikichi. To be honest, he was not very willing to trouble his old friend, especially since this matter would involve taking a lot of risks.
He and Qiantian agreed to meet at a high-end Japanese restaurant in the public concession at noon.
At noon, the two met at this famous Japanese restaurant, which was a small gathering after a long separation.
The two of them smiled when they met and said nothing. Instead, they walked into the restaurant side by side and came to a private room.
The drinks and food were served first, including Japanese sake and Scotch whiskey.
"Congratulations, Lu Sang." Qian Tian sat cross-legged on the tatami and smiled.
"Congratulations for what?" Lu Ming was confused.
"Congratulations on receiving the highest-level medal of the Republic of China and being promoted to major general." Qian Tian said with a smile while pouring wine.
"You are well-informed. Tell me, how did you know?" Lu Ming was quite surprised. As soon as there was any trouble in Nanjing, the Japanese would get the news.
"Lu Sang, this is not something you can just treat me to a drink." Qian Tian exaggeratedly took a sip of sake and smacked his lips.
"It seems that I have made the empire worry about it? I'm really sorry." Lu Ming said sarcastically, imitating Japan's tone.
Although Lu Ming's conferment and promotion were far from secrets, few people within the Republic of China government knew about it, but all the senior officials of the Fuxing Society knew about it.
"Our people are very interested in you, so every move you make is in our eyes." Qian Tian said meaningfully.
"Oh, your people are spying on me, is that okay? There are so many military and political officials in Shanghai, can you handle it?" Lu Ming said in surprise.
"You can't say they are our people, it's mainly the people from Manchuria Railway. If they know about it, of course they will report it to the consulate, so I know about it." Qiantian was afraid that Lu Ming would misunderstand, so he told the truth.
"It seems that the people in Mantie really like me. Starting from Ozawa, they started to get entangled with me." Lu Ming sighed.
"That's not the case. This was done by the Manchurian Railway arranged by the country. It has nothing to do with personal grudges." Qiantian said with a calm smile.
"Let them do whatever they want, I will accompany them to the end." Lu Ming said helplessly.
There were many pro-Japanese factions in the upper echelons of the Republic of China government, so it was easy for people from the Manchurian Railway or the Japanese consulate to know the internal situation of the government. Unless it was top-secret military intelligence, it might be difficult for them to obtain it, but maybe
.
"By the way, has your situation improved?" Lu Ming was very concerned about Qiantian.
"Much better. Last time they tried to assassinate me but failed. Someone in my family got angry and had a big fight with the top brass of the military. Now the military has ordered people from Manchuria and the Black Dragon Society not to do anything to me again.
What a little trick." Qian Tian laughed.
Lu Ming nodded, very happy for Qiantian. He did not ask what the background of Qiantian's family was, nor did he want to inquire. If Qiantian didn't take the initiative to say it, there must be a reason not to say it. He didn't want to embarrass his friends.
After a while, the dishes also arrived. Since it is a Japanese restaurant, of course they include caviar, grilled eel, various sashimi, sushi, etc.
"The taste of my hometown. Apart from Japan, only Shanghai can taste such authentic food." Qian Tian said greedily as he looked at the table full of food.
