In 1893, Yokohama Shokin Bank opened a branch in Shanghai. It first rented a house on Nanjing Road for business. As the number of Japanese expatriates increased, the business developed rapidly. In 1923, it purchased the Bund 20
No. 4 was the site of the old Sassoon Bank. The old roof was demolished and a new building was built. It was completed and put into use the following year.
Hearing Kobayashi Kosuke's explanation, Han Lin nodded. Once such a senior agent decides to be a traitor, he will be very decisive, and he will be very thoughtful and well-planned when doing things. If he uses one thing often, others will do it.
There is no association at all, and the purpose of "disappearance" is achieved.
On the way to the bank, the car encountered something that might be an "accident". The tire was punctured. He stopped the car to check, but he encountered an accident. In an international metropolis like Shanghai, there are people of all kinds, even in concession areas, and criminals
The rate is also high, so it’s not unusual to be targeted accidentally.
Seven o'clock in the evening, Western Restaurant on Wukang Road, French Concession.
"Yingying, the case I handled has been successfully concluded. In the morning, I received a notice from above that I will go to Shangfeng's office to make a closing report tomorrow morning. Therefore, I will drive back to Jinling later and I have to ask you for the decoration of the club.
You help me keep an eye on it." Han Lin said with a smile.
Even though he was the most famous socialite during the Republic of China, he asked others to help design the decoration plan and even went to the site to watch the construction team decorate. This made him feel unconfident.
"I shouldn't believe you, you big liar. You said you designed the club according to my wishes. When the drawings came out, you said you had no money. It's better now. You have returned to Jinling by yourself. If you want me to watch the construction team decorate it for you, I'm considered superior.
I stole your pirate ship!" Tang Ying gave him an unladylike look.
"As a socialite in our Republic of China, you must pay attention to your image!" Han Lin said hurriedly.
"When I meet you, a so-called socialite like me has accumulated enough experience to open a decoration company, so how can I have any image?" Tang Ying said angrily.
"You are noble and elegant, and you are as beautiful as the orchids in the empty valley. You were not supposed to be stained by the mortal world and participate in the worldly affairs. It is like a calamity for you. But you met me. I don't know how many men are envious of my blessing.
!" Han Lin said with a smile.
"Okay, okay, your mouth is so sweet. My whole body feels cold when you say it. You don't have to use such exaggerated flattery to trick me into working for you. Is this how you used these sweet words to deceive the young lady of the Lu family?
"Tang Ying said.
She said this, but the corners of her mouth turned up in a graceful arc, showing that she was in a very happy mood. Girls can't escape a man's sweet words, and she is the same.
"I wanted to lie to you. Who told us to get to know each other too late? In fact, you can also consider that it is hard to find a good man like me. I don't mind marrying two wives." Han Lin teased her.
"It's a beautiful thought. If you don't mind me, let me be your second wife. How dare you think about it!" Tang Ying was defeated by this guy's shamelessness.
Of all the men pursuing her in Shanghai, who dares to say that he wants to marry her as a second wife? Is this crazy? But Han Lin dared to say it, and she didn't find it annoying even if he said it to her face.
"You can also be the master of the house. This matter is easy to discuss!" Han Lin seemed to be unsure about life and death and continued to flirt with her.
When asking a girl to help you, you have to make her happy. Tang Ying actually has a cheerful personality and won't get angry because she was flirted with.
"Go to hell!" Tang Ying continued to give him a roll of her eyes.
Opposite the Western restaurant, three cars were parked on the roadside. Cao Jiandong and Kobayashi Guangsuke were hiding in the car eating fried pancakes, while a few other guys were eating Yangchun noodles at a roadside stall.
Han Lin and Tang Ying were sitting at the table by the window. The atmosphere between the two of them was obviously very harmonious. They were chatting and laughing happily, making this group of people envious.
"People and socialites from Shanghai drank red wine and ate Western food, while we hid in the car and ate fried pancakes. What a life!" Kobayashi Hirosuke said with a sigh.
He knew Tang Ying, so he naturally knew the status of this socialite in Shanghai's social circle.
"Everyone is different. Our boss can invite Tang Ying out for dinner with just one phone call. It's not certain who will pay the bill. If it were you, you have money, but do you have the qualifications?" Cao Jiandong said with a smile.
Kobayashi Guangsuke was speechless. Tang Ying was not a girl that could be hired if she had money, otherwise she would not have become a famous lady. There were many paupers in Shanghai, and at the same time, there were also rich people.
At around eight o'clock in the morning, three cars returned to the Jinling field team station.
"Instructor Hidemin Yano, I would like to introduce you to a new instructor, Assistant Instructor Hiro Kobayashi who was just hired in Shanghai. I hope you will get along well!" Han Lin said casually when he saw Hidemin Yano in the yard.
The instructors we hired must be Japanese spies who were arrested and chose to surrender. Looking at the development trend of the field team, it is possible that the instructor team is getting stronger and stronger. I really don’t know whether to cry or laugh!
"Mr. Kobayashi, I am Yano Hidemin, the former head of the general logistics support of the secret service stationed in Shanghai in Jinling." Yano Hidemin said, bowing deeply at ninety degrees.
"Yano-kun, I am Kobayashi Kosuke, a member of the Concession Team of the Intelligence Team directly under the secret service stationed in Shanghai. Please take care of me!" Kobayashi Kosuke also bowed deeply.
Han Lin immediately made arrangements to allocate a separate dormitory for Kobayashi Guangsuke, went to the street to buy him brand new bedding, washing supplies, towels, washbasins, teacups, tea leaves, thermos bottles and tableware, etc., and also customized suits, Chinese tunic suits and
leather shoes.
He and Hidetoshi Yano were assigned to an office, the instructor's office of the field team, and were responsible for writing teaching materials and teaching in the conference room.
What surprised Kobayashi Kosuke was that Han Lin, his boss, accepted Yano Hidetoshi's invitation without hesitation, had breakfast at his residence, drank a large bowl of wontons with side dishes, and then ran to the office
fell asleep inside.
This time I traveled to Jinling from Shanghai at night. It took longer than during the day. The road was bumpy and uncomfortable, and I couldn’t sleep in the car.
"This officer's behavior is very approachable!" Kobayashi Hirosuke said with a smile.
"When working and living in this secret station, except that you can't leave at will, you don't have to worry about other needs. Firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, fruits and vegetables, daily necessities, tobacco and alcohol are all provided for free. Meals are guaranteed to have fish and meat, and clothes, shoes and hats are free.
They don't have such treatment themselves."
"Let me tell you, this instructor's position is real and it is not to fool us. Everyone has strict etiquette towards instructors. Once there is any disrespectful behavior, they will be severely punished."
"Look at our two offices. The conditions are better than the chief's office. They are all new tables and chairs, equipped with a large clock, radio, player, and a set of root-carved tea tables. To be honest, if we don't do something
, I feel a little awkward myself." Yano Hidemin said.
