The next morning, Han Lin drove a black Ford car to the hotel where Jin Shengan was staying. There was more than one car at home. He had been able to drive since he was a child, but considering his current status, when he went to work at Hangzhou Station,
Usually by bicycle.
The funding of the Second Division is not what it was after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War. It is not that rich now. The only people qualified to be allocated special cars are the station chief, operations section and intelligence section. The section chief often occupies one car, and the agents use one to perform secret missions.
, mostly when riding a bicycle.
"Having a party at your house? Yes, this way the atmosphere can be more relaxed. You are very thoughtful and I am also a guest." Jin Sheng'an did not refuse.
"The Inspector-General is willing to come and bring glory to the humble abode. Please get in the car." Han Lin said respectfully.
He knew Han Lin's family situation well. His father, Han Yanchang, was a very powerful businessman. He was able to break into the circle of salt merchants in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Anhui by relying on his weak ancestral connections. His methods of doing business had to be admired.
You must know that salt merchants have been a monopoly industry since the Qing Dynasty. Although they have gradually declined, their influence is still very great. The phenomenon of cliques is very serious and they will not easily accept new people.
The car entered the gate, took the circular road and drove directly to the porch of the small building. Jin Sheng'an's two guards got out of the car, and Han Lin also got out of the car and opened the door for Jin Sheng'an. Jin Sheng'an was very satisfied with the details.
The Han family's driver had been waiting at the door and hurriedly drove away. Han Lin invited Jin Shengan into the living room. At this time, all fourteen team members were already present.
"Hello, Inspector General!" Cao Jiandong led the team members to salute Jin Sheng'an.
"This is Han Lin's home, no need to be formal." Jin Sheng'an said with a smile.
The floor is paved with flat marble tiles, and there is a thick wool carpet on top. The sofa and coffee table are all imported from Shanghai. There are crystal chandeliers on the top, and wall lamps on the walls, which are full of luxury and nobility. The light from the large floor-to-ceiling windows is very good.
The curtains are all imported.
Xiaoqing and Xiaolian were wearing cheongsam, brought hot tea, and turned on the electric fan on the side.
During the Republic of China, there were not only electric fans, but also refrigerators and even air conditioners, but very few people used the latter. You can hardly feel the heat in the living room, and the air is convection at the front and back doors. It is not at noon when the temperature is the highest. Use a fan.
Still very comfortable.
Jin Sheng'an drank tea and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. After all, they were from a wealthy businessman's family. Look at these two humble maids. They were all very decent, whether they were dressed or behaved. The material of the cheongsam and the jewelry they wore were absolutely extraordinary.
The family can afford it, and she is very beautiful, with fair skin, delicate eyebrows, and a curvy figure, so she is qualified to be a concubine.
Of course, he would not be so shameless. Asking Han Lin for a maid to be his concubine is a taboo behavior, unless he is kicked in the head by a donkey. The Han family also has a background, and they are friends with big shots at the top of the Jinling government.
Quite a few, I am not afraid of him as a small deputy chief.
Han Lin entertained him at home just because he wanted to take credit for solving the case and capturing the Japanese spy, and by the way, he wanted to build relationships at the headquarters, which did him no harm.
"Please give me a lecture from the Chief Inspector!" Han Lin first invited Jin Sheng'an to the seat, then stood up straight and said.
"It's not just a lecture. I'm taking this opportunity to chat with you. I'm a few years older than you and have experienced a lot of things. Let me give you a heads up. The members of the field team are all carefully selected from the police academy and military academy by the headquarters.
Top students, Boss Dai and the headquarters have high hopes for you. The Hangzhou station is just a transition during the internship period. It is enough for you to grasp this."
"Don't get involved in the internal conflicts of Hangzhou Station. Your attitude is neutral and you don't lean towards any party, including the station manager. You can participate in the detection of a certain case, but you cannot be responsible for a certain long-term project of Hangzhou Station."
To work, you need to understand the meaning of the word "assistance", which will test your thinking and methods."
"You have just entered this profession and have relatively little experience. Young people are simple-minded and like to be impulsive. This is what worries me. Departments like ours, the headquarters and provincial stations, the provincial stations themselves, and teams and groups in various cities, have intricate relationships. Volume
Getting involved in these disputes will be detrimental to your future future."
"Just like in this case, on the surface it was the Operations Department that took the credit from the Intelligence Department, but it was not as cold as a day. The Intelligence Department is not innocent either. The conflict has intensified to this extent. What do you think of Webmaster Lu Wenzhou?
You can also think about it yourself. As an intelligence officer, you must not jump to conclusions easily. People's hearts are the hardest to figure out." Jin Sheng'an said.
Listening to your words is worth ten years of reading. This is Han Lin's feeling. Jin Sheng'an's words this time are very valuable words of experience. It is also equivalent to speaking from the perspective of the headquarters, giving them a better understanding of what the field team will do in Hangzhou in the future.
The work of Zhou Station has a clear direction and a clear positioning.
Jin Sheng'an was a veteran of No. 53 Ji'e Lane, and he knew the people and things in the entire Secret Service very well. He couldn't explain it too clearly. It was extremely difficult to evaluate the people and things at Hangzhou Station.
Boss Dai has absolute authority in the Secret Service, but although his subordinates dare not openly form cliques, they still have their own small circles. A small and inconspicuous matter may involve deep insider connections.
By the way, the Secret Service will move from Ji'e Lane to the Hong Gong Temple this year. Han Lin and his group can barely be considered as joining the Second Branch during the Ji'e Lane period. This is a profound qualification.
"Master, the food has been set. Please invite the distinguished guests to the restaurant for dinner!" Xiao Lian walked over and said.
"Thank you to the Inspector-General for your generous teachings and your willingness to report later. I am humble enough to prepare some wine and treat the Inspector-General to a light meal!" Han Lin said with a smile.
"Then I'm sorry!" Jin Sheng'an nodded and said.
It was not easy to hear these words from his mouth. It would be no problem to have a meal, and he knew that with Han Lin's family, he would not let himself say these words in vain.
There is a long dining table in the restaurant that is made of a whole piece of precious wood and carefully carved. It is surrounded by mountains, rivers, geography, clouds and dragon patterns, etc. It has a simple charm. This table is also worth a lot of money.
There are not many dishes, and everything is cooked with care. They are all famous dishes in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. The materials used are naturally more sophisticated. JDZ’s porcelain tableware shows their craftsmanship in every plate. The drink is Shaoxing Nuerhong. This
At that time, rice wine was relatively prosperous.
As a young master, Han Lin had asked in advance that distinguished guests would be here. Of course, the chef would serve all bird's nests and abalones on the table, trying his best to make Han Lin look good.
While Han Lin was having dinner, he specifically talked about the history of the Second Branch. This topic was so long that he could not finish it for three days and three nights. Naturally, there was no chance of silence. Jin Shengan was also willing to talk about the Secret Service.
It is a matter of great pleasure for both the guest and the host to have a meal.
