After dinner, the two of them returned to the apartment. Mingzhu wanted to take Mr. Dong and the two of them to buy clothes tomorrow, so they didn't go back.
Mingzhu suddenly looked at Lu Ming's apartment carefully, walked around inside and outside, and then said: "Did you tell them where they lived after they got married, or do they live here?"
"Of course, where else would you live?" Lu Ming asked confused.
"But the apartment is too small. It won't be enough for them to have two babies in the future." Mingzhu frowned.
"You are used to living in big houses. The apartment suites here are designed for a family of five and are sufficient by foreign standards." Lu Ming said with a bitter smile.
Although most of the people who live in Wanguo Apartment are singles, it is designed to accommodate a family. It is designed based on apartments in urban areas of New York and London, and the area is slightly larger.
"They are also living here temporarily. After we get married, they will still live with us." Lu Ming added.
The French Concession house that Lu Ming bought was fully equipped and equipped with servants' rooms, guard rooms, etc. It was spacious enough for three or five families to live in, let alone a family.
"Are you afraid that it will be dangerous for them to live here?" Mingzhu understood immediately.
Lu Ming nodded. Before Weng Bailing's trouble was solved, it was still not safe for Mr. Dong and An Yi to live here by themselves. They needed to live with him.
"Then live with us. When you go to work, I will talk to Sister Dong and we can go shopping together." Mingzhu was very happy.
She was also used to being surrounded by people all the time, and was afraid of living alone, otherwise she wouldn't have lived in Caobang with Ning Xiner.
"By the way, you can't tell Zi Yuan that I asked Mu Yi to help me buy things, you know." Lu Ming suddenly remembered this matter.
Mingzhu expressed that she couldn't understand and said: "Why can't you tell your sister? You are too worried. Are you still afraid that she will betray you?"
Lu Ming shook his head repeatedly and said, "I'm not afraid that Ziyuan will betray me, but I'm afraid that she will tell Huang Yanning. I don't want Huang Yanning to know about this. This is also to protect him and prevent him from getting involved."
Mingzhu thought about it and felt that Lu Ming was right to consider it this way. Ziyuan and Huang Yanning are now in love, and their relationship is very hot. They will never hide anything from each other.
After all, Huang Yanning is an elite member of the Huangpu Department and has vowed to serve the party and the country throughout his life. Only the principal is following his lead. If he knew about this, it would be very difficult.
The next morning, Mingzhu took Mr. Dong and An Yi to buy clothes and jewelry. An Yi hesitated and didn't want to go, so Mingzhu pulled her out of the door.
Lu Ming led the three of them out and drove around the street twice. When he found that the people who were watching at the door did not follow him, he let the three of them go to Yong'an Department Store by themselves.
After entering the department store, Mingzhu held An Yi's arm and carefully selected cosmetics and jewelry. Mr. Dong followed them stupidly, looking around to observe what was going on around them.
Fortunately, there is no ominous sign today.
When Lu Ming arrived at the Fuxing Society Building, Ziyuan greeted him as soon as he entered the courtyard and handed him a stack of banknotes: "This is a banknote of 100,000 yuan. What do you want so much money for?" Yuan Ziyuan asked with some suspicion.
"I'm not conferring any honors anymore. I've been promoted to major general again. I can't save the money I should spend." Lu Ming laughed.
"I thought you were planning to buy things for the wedding?" Yuan Ziyuan said with a smile.
"No, it's for another purpose. By the way, how much money do we still have in our account?" Lu Ming asked.
"There are still more than two million, what's wrong? You want to embezzle the money in the account?"
"No, I want it to last for a few months. If it's not enough, I'll transfer a few million more from Mu Yi."
The two of them entered the building while talking. Everyone who met him stood and saluted, and waited for Lu Ming to wave before continuing to walk away.
Lu Ming came to his office and Liu Qiwen had already made tea.
"How's it going? Did you have a good rest yesterday?" Lu Ming asked.
"Why don't you rest? The people in the telecommunications room arrested the laborers and copied materials for them for a day. I almost died from exhaustion." Liu Qiwen said.
"Why do we want to catch you? Don't they have enough manpower?" Lu Ming took the teacup Liu Qiwen handed him and took a sip and asked.
"They have always been short of manpower, but there is nothing they can do. The requirements for hiring people in the telecommunications room are too high, and ordinary people can't get in." Liu Qiwen said.
Lu Ming nodded. The telecommunications room had a stricter level of qualifications and background checks for employees. Not to mention people outside, not many people in this building met their requirements.
Although there is no place in this building that is off limits to him, he has never entered the telecommunications office to avoid suspicion.
"What are they busy with? Are they usually not so short of manpower?" Lu Ming asked intentionally or unintentionally.
"I can't see anything. It seems to be all telecommunications exchanges with Jiangxi. They said that the telecommunications volume has increased sharply in the past two months, and it seems that there are some changes in the Jiangxi war zone." Liu Qiwen didn't care much about these things.
Lu Ming immediately thought that Mr. Dong's request for help in getting supplies must be related to the war situation in Jiangxi, where the fighting was probably getting more intense.
Lu Ming really wanted to see those messages, but after thinking about it, he gave up the idea.
All messages are stored in the confidential room. If you want to access confidential files, you need to register, and anyone who accesses any documents needs to be registered.
In this way, if confidential information is leaked, the source of the leak can be quickly identified.
Lu Ming thought for a moment, then picked up the phone and called Kang Ze. The person who answered the phone was Kang Ze's adjutant. He could still recognize Lu Ming's voice, and he quickly found Kang Ze to answer the phone.
"Brother Lu, why did you remember to call me?" Kang Ze laughed on the phone.
"A few days ago in Nanjing, I left without saying goodbye. I was a little rude, so I called you specifically to explain." Lu Ming said with a smile.
"I know you have difficulties. These are all trivial matters. You and I, brothers, don't worry about these." Kang Ze said generously.
"How's it going, Brother Kang? How are you doing on the front line? Are you still comfortable?"
"It's so comfortable. There are artillery fire here every day. Those red elements have been resisting, but they are struggling to death. We have trapped them to death. In a few days, even if we no longer encircle and suppress them, they will starve to death."
." Kang Ze said fiercely.
"Brother Kang, thank you for your hard work. Please be careful and safe." Lu Ming pretended to be concerned.
"It's okay, don't worry, no matter how fierce the artillery fire is, it won't be able to hit me." Kang Ze said confidently.
The two chatted for a few more words, but suddenly there was a violent explosion on the phone, and the call was suddenly interrupted.
Then the voice from the switchboard came over and said that the other party's phone line was disconnected. Should you continue to try to connect?
Lu Ming said it was nothing important and there was no need to answer the call anymore.
After putting down the phone, Lu Ming felt a little heavy. It seemed that the situation in the Communist base area had indeed reached its most difficult moment. He had to get all the supplies as soon as possible and then try to smuggle them in.
However, the blockade leading to the base area is getting tighter and tighter. How to transport things in has become a headache. This may be more difficult than obtaining supplies.
"What's the matter, sir?" Liu Qiwen asked, looking at Lu Ming's frown.
"It's okay. I just chatted with Commander Kang for a while. The situation there is a bit urgent." Lu Ming said casually.
"Are you fighting against the Communist Party?" Liu Qiwen also expressed concern.
"Yes, they are encircling and suppressing the armed forces of the Communist Party." Lu Ming replied lazily.
"Didn't we say a ceasefire before?" Liu Qiwen said with a frown.
"No, now we are fighting again." Lu Ming sighed.
When the "128 Songhu Anti-Japanese War" was at its peak, the Nanjing Military Commission did suspend the encirclement and suppression of the Communist armed forces. However, as soon as the fire ceased here in Shanghai, fierce exchanges of fire began again there.
It seems that Mr. Chiang has made up his mind and will never stop until the Communist Party is completely eradicated.
"I'm lucky I didn't go with Commander Kang, otherwise I would have to live under artillery fire every day." Liu Qiwen stuck out her tongue.
"Are you afraid of war?" Lu Ming asked with a smile.
"Who can not be afraid of cannonballs? Bullets don't have eyes. Whoever they hit will be unlucky and will be disabled even if they don't die. I'm not afraid of death. I'm just afraid of getting injured and having my limbs amputated. In that case, I will have to commit suicide."
Liu Qiwen said.
While the two were talking, there was a sudden knock on the door, and then someone outside shouted "report".
