Just as he was talking, Dai Li came and exchanged pleasantries with Lu Ming again.
Dai Li said: "Sir Lu, on your first day at the headquarters, I will hold a welcome meeting for you and let the people in the headquarters get to know you, a legend."
"What kind of legend am I?" Lu Ming said with a bitter smile.
"Sir, you don't need to say much. Just by virtue of that Medal of Blue Sky and White Sun, you are a legend." Dai Li said with a smile.
"Yu Nong is right. The Fuxing Society only has this Medal of Blue Sky and White Sun. This is the common honor of everyone." He Zhonghan agreed.
"Commander Lu, please share your experience of success with all the staff of Fuxing Society and encourage everyone." Dai Li continued what He Zhonghan said, and then made an invitation gesture to Lu Ming.
The conference room in the headquarters building is not on the first floor, but also on the second floor. It is larger than the conference room in Shanghai Station and looks like a small auditorium.
When Lu Ming walked in accompanied by He Zhonghan and Dai Li, the place was already full of people.
The three of them walked to the stage and sat down. Dai Li stood up and said to everyone: "Everyone, from now on, our chief financial officer, Chief Lu, will be working at the headquarters in person. Today, let everyone get to know each other and welcome him with a round of applause."
The people sitting below immediately stood up, applauded and shouted: "Give out money, give out money, give out money."
It can be said that the mountain is calling, but unfortunately it is not the mountain calling for long live the mountain, but the mountain calling for money.
Lu Ming smiled, not knowing if this was a move prepared by Dai Li for him.
"Jingjing, what are you people doing? Are you still decent? Director Lu has already gone to work, can he still send you money? Do you still need to press like this?" Dai Li pretended to reprimand.
Lu Ming smiled, and then said loudly: "Brothers all know that I am a money manager. I was stuck due to some things a few days ago, so my salary was not paid to everyone in time, which made everyone suffer. However,
Everyone will get their salary today."
Hearing Lu Ming's clear stance, the following applauded again. This time it should be a sincere welcome and a little joy.
He Zhonghan pressed his hands on everyone, indicating that he wanted to speak.
"Comrades, I would like to introduce to you that Chief Lu is one of the founders of Blue Clothes Society. He is of course the veteran of our Fuxing Society. He is our first financial director and also serves as the deputy director of Shanghai Station."
There was another burst of applause below.
He Zhonghan continued: "I have walked side by side with Commander Lu until today. He has received a Blue Sky and White Sun Medal. I don't have one, and I probably won't have one in this life, but I am still very happy, because this is the honor of all the members of our Fuxing Society!"
At this time, someone handed over a note, and the guard handed the note into Dai Li's hand.
Dai Li opened the note and looked at it, and couldn't help but smile.
He Zhonghan saw Dai Li's expression and said, "Now, please let Chief Dai say a few words."
Dai Li said: "Chief Lu, it's his first day at work today. I don't want to say anything more. Everyone will be familiar with it soon. Someone just sent a note. I'll read it out."
Before he could read it, Dai Li couldn't help but laugh again.
"Read it, Sir Dai," someone shouted from the audience.
"Okay, I'll read it. I heard that Chief Lu is the number one playboy in Shanghai. I want to ask him to talk about his love experience. We don't understand. We want to learn..." Before Dai Li finished reading, the audience burst into laughter.
He Zhonghan quickly explained: "Many young people in the Fuxing Society will not consider marriage until they are determined to succeed in the revolution, but they still have to talk about love."
Lu Ming smiled. He knew that he had a reputation as a "playboy", but he didn't expect that it would become a good name.
His reputation spreads all over the world, and I would be sorry if I didn't say a few words.
Lu Ming stood up and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter experience, but I have three principles. The first is to have a heart to love all girls in the world, the second is to be loyal to one's girlfriend, and the third is to always maintain a passion for beautiful things.
The pursuit of..."
The audience was quiet for a moment, and warm applause erupted again. The applause continued until the three people on the stage stood up and prepared to leave.
Liu Qiwen sat on the chair in the back row and shed tears unknowingly.
After the meeting, Lu Ming took Liu Qiwen back to his office, with Dai Li following behind.
"Sir Lu, today I just want to let everyone get to know you. I will accompany you to various offices in a while, recognize the doors, and you will become familiar with them all." Dai Li said with a smile.
"No need to go to so much trouble. Just introduce me to the people from the Finance Department. I'm not familiar with other businesses and don't care." Lu Ming expressed his attitude.
When Dai Li heard this, he felt even more relieved. He was really afraid that Lu Ming would interfere with the headquarters' field operations, which was his lifeblood.
Not long after, everyone from the Finance Department came to Lu Ming's office.
Lu Ming shook hands with them one by one, and didn't play any tricks. He directly asked everyone to bring over all the financial bills and salary slips.
He didn't even look at it, he just signed the orders. Anyway, he had plenty of time to study the usage of these orders afterwards.
This morning, all the people coming in and out were cadres from the Finance Department. After they got the order signed by Lu Ming, they hurried to the bank to withdraw the money and then distributed it to the staff.
By noon, Lu Ming's wrists were tired and sore, and he had only signed half of the papers.
Lu Ming wanted to just get the seal and get it done, but the bank refused to accommodate, saying that the seal could be counterfeited and his signature was required.
By the time I got off work that day, I had finally signed all the financial forms, and I was almost fainting from exhaustion.
What Lu Ming issued today was not only orders from the headquarters, but also orders from many branch stations. Except for the ones from the Shanghai station that were not taken over, the rest have been accumulated here.
Originally, when he was at Shanghai Station, these orders were presented to him in batches, and he could sign them in batches. Now they are all accumulated here. After signing them in one day, of course he is as tired as a dead dog.
"Sir, why are you working so hard? They are not really waiting for the rice to be cooked." Liu Qiwen kept wiping his sweat distressedly.
"It's the same whether you work early or late. It's all my work anyway and no one can replace it." Lu Ming said weakly while lying on the chair.
When he got off work, He Zhonghan brought four people and told Lu Ming that these four people would be his bodyguards for a period of time from now on.
Lu Ming frowned and said: "This is not far from the Jinling Hotel where I live. I don't need so many people to protect me, right? A driver is enough."
"That's not possible. I heard that the Japanese are ready to make a move. The committee is concerned about your safety and has made special arrangements." He Zhonghan said.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work, brothers." Lu Ming responded listlessly.
Two of the four bodyguards sat in a car leading the way, and the other two sat in a car behind to protect them. The three cars drove until they reached the gate of Jinling Hotel and stopped.
A bodyguard got out of the car in front and opened the door for Lu Ming, and then the four of them followed Lu Ming to the top floor.
"Sir, if you want to go out at night, please inform us. We will live in Room 102 on the first floor." A bodyguard said.
"You guys go and have a rest. I won't be going out tonight." Lu Ming waved his hand. He was too tired to say another word today.
Even if you are a playboy, there are times when you are exhausted, your hands are tired and your heart is even more tired.
The four people then took the elevator down.
"You are just like four flies, are they so worried about you?" Liu Qiwen said angrily.
"Just get used to it, there's no point in complaining." Lu Ming said with a bitter smile.
"Is it true that Chief He said that the Japanese are going to attack you?" Liu Qiwen felt a little strange, why did the Japanese show up again?
"It may be true, or it may be a lie to me, but I have a lot of trouble with the Japanese." Lu Ming thought for a while and said.
The first thing he did after returning to the room was to quickly take a shower, then ask the waiter to take away the clothes he had changed, and send them to the laundry room for washing.
After rinsing and changing into dry clothes, he felt more comfortable. Then he opened a bottle of whiskey and took two big sips directly from the bottle.
After feeling that the blood in his body was flowing smoothly again, his fatigue was relieved a little.
"Are you going to work hard today? Why are you so tired?" Yuan Mingzhu came over and squeezed Lu Ming's shoulders and said.
"Don't tell me, it's just hard work. I never thought that signing could make someone faint from exhaustion." Lu Ming waved his still sore wrists and fingers, and he felt that his shoulders were numb.
"By the way, a man named An Gonggen called me this afternoon and asked you to call me back. He seemed very urgent." Yuan Mingzhu said.
As soon as Lu Ming heard this, he immediately called An Gonggen.
"Master Lu, the news I just received seems that the Japanese want to assassinate you. How are you in Nanjing? Do you want me to take someone there right away?" An Gonggen's voice was a little panicked.
"No need, the headquarters has arranged four bodyguards for me, but is your information accurate?"
"Accurately, it should be planned by the Mantie gang." An Gonggen said.
"The people from Mantetsu are old friends. It seems that after Seishiro Ozawa died, they put this account on my head." Lu Ming said.
"It may not be that thing, it may be related to recent events." On the phone, An Gonggen couldn't say it directly, so he could only talk about it vaguely, but he believed that Lu Ming could understand.
"Let's talk carefully when you come over. I can't explain it on the phone." Lu Ming hung up the phone.
An Gonggen immediately understood that since Lu Ming said this, it meant that the phone might have been tapped.
Lu Ming became thoughtful after hanging up the phone.
It seems that he really can't take it seriously. He may not believe Mr. Jiang's words, but An Gonggen will never lie to him.
An Gonggen had an insider among the Japanese, and he knew it, but he never asked who it was.
"Lu Ming, what happened over there in Shanghai?" Yuan Mingzhu asked worriedly.
"It's nothing, An Gonggen just asked me to be careful in Nanjing," Lu Ming said.
"Doesn't that mean something is going to happen?" Yuan Mingzhu was anxious.
She wasn't someone who didn't understand anything. When An Gonggen called her in the afternoon, her urgent voice with a hint of panic clearly meant that something big was about to happen.
