Chapter 393 Trip to Nanjing (please recommend and vote monthly)
"Very good, I feel relieved with your words." After hearing Li Qiang's statement, Zhou Fohai nodded with satisfaction, but then changed the subject, "But compared to your own job, I still have
There is a more important task for you, which is to secretly monitor the movements of everyone in the Suppression Command and report to me once a week, do you understand?"
"Mr. Zhou, don't worry. I know which one is more important and which one is more important. I naturally know what is important."
"Well, it's good to know. Go ahead and ask how long it will take to get to Nanjing."
"Yes!" Although he was very curious about what Zhou Fohai was going to tell Minglou, Li Qiang still responded and then left the carriage very wisely.
The two chatted like this for more than an hour before Minglou opened the carriage door and said to Li Qiang in a slightly reproachful tone: "I want you to ask the time. Why did you go so long?"
Li Qiang didn't say anything, shrugged and followed Minglou back to the carriage...
A few hours later, the luxury car that everyone was riding in slowly drove into Nanjing Railway Station.
"Sir, you are back." As soon as the group got off the train, a very capable man wearing the uniform of the new government immediately stepped forward and said to Zhou Fohai, "Chairman Wang has just finished a meeting in the Legislative Yuan and is returning.
On the way to Jiming Temple, I ask you to go directly there after you come back."
Hearing this, Zhou Fohai nodded, and then the group got into the cars that had been waiting in front of the station for a long time, and drove in the direction of Jiming Temple.
In a short time, the group of people arrived at Nanjing Jiming Temple, the main office of Wang Jingwei.
A big shot like Wang Jingwei, not to mention Li Qiang, even Minglou, who is the deputy director of the Economic Department, cannot ask for a meeting without permission.
Therefore, Zhou Fohai left the two of them outside and walked in alone.
But even so, Minglou did not sit idle, but took the initiative to say hello to the guy who looked like a secretary, "Long time no see, Secretary Yu."
"Yes, it has been almost three or four years since we last saw each other in Nanjing!" Secretary Yu said with emotion, and then glanced at Li Qiang intentionally or unintentionally, "Who is this?"
"My cousin, A Qiang, works as an errand in the Shanghai Maintenance Committee and is the chief of the Supervision Section." Minglou introduced him smoothly, "A Qiang, let me introduce to you. This is Mr. Zhou's most capable assistant, Yu Jin.
, Yu Secretary-General.”
No need to ask, he knew that the Yu Jin in front of him was Zhou Fohai's confidant, so Li Qiang naturally did not dare to neglect him and hurriedly greeted him, "I am humble and strong in my humble position. I have met Secretary-General Yu."
"I didn't expect Section Chief Ming to be so young. If the Fourth Young Master Tang can successfully arrive in Nanjing, then you will have done a great job and your future will be limitless!"
"Secretary-General Yu was joking. In my humble position, I just helped spread the word. How can I get any credit? If there is any, it belongs to Mr. Zhou. I don't dare to take credit for my humble position!"
After hearing this, Secretary Yu nodded with satisfaction, "Well said, Deputy Director Ming, your cousin is really a character!"
"How can he be considered a real person? I should ask Secretary-General Yu to take care of him in the future."
"Easy to say, easy to say!"
However, Secretary Na Yu said he sounded nice, but in fact he looked down on Li Qiang from the bottom of his heart.
For no other reason than because he, like Minglou, was one of the earliest confidants who followed Zhou Fohai. But now Minglou has become the deputy director, but he has been sent to Tianjin, becoming a painless person.
The itchy boundary committee member finally returned to Zhou Fohai but still could only be a small secretary-general. Seeing Minglou rising step by step, but he was still stuck in the same place after so many years, it was naturally difficult for him to balance his heart, so he naturally
The earth hated the house and the bird, and transferred this emotion to Li Qiang.
But just when he was still thinking about how to vent all the bad anger in his heart on Li Qiang, the door of Wang Jingwei's office suddenly opened, and then a slim figure walked out of it.
"Shi..."
When he saw that person, Secretary Yu was about to step forward to say hello, but he saw Secretary Na Shi walking directly in front of him without even looking at him, and said to Li Qiang: "Why are you here?"
Tell me in advance? Are you still angry with me because of Mingtai?"
"Of course not!" Li Qiang quickly denied, "It's just because the incident happened suddenly and we have to keep it strictly confidential, so..."
"Okay, I guess you've passed the test. After you finish the business, come find me. I have something to tell you."
"oh."
While the two were talking, Secretary Yu also recovered from the huge shock, quietly walked to Minglou and asked in a low voice: "I said, what is going on? Why is Secretary Shi..."
"Do you remember the Sakura Incident?" Minglou asked, and when he nodded, he continued, "A Qiang was also in the car at that time. If it hadn't been for him, Secretary Shi would have passed away like those victims."
Hearing this, Secretary Yu suddenly nodded, and at the same time secretly told himself that he must have a good relationship with this young man.
After about fifteen minutes, Zhou Fohai walked out, called Li Qiang and Minglou in, and told Wang Jingwei the whole story in detail.
"Very good, as long as this person can come to Nanjing smoothly, it will be a very heavy blow to Chongqing, and it will also create an extremely favorable situation for us, yes!" Having said this, Wang Jingwei started talking.
Then he asked, "But, who should we entrust such an important task to?"
After saying that, Wang Jingwei turned to look at Zhou Fohai who was aside, "Mr. Zhou, what do you mean?"
"I think Li Shiyu, the **** of the Legislative Yuan, is worthy of this post!" Zhou Fohai blurted out almost without hesitation.
Wang Jingwei obviously did not expect that Zhou Fohai would recommend this person, and he couldn't help but be stunned, but he quickly came back to his senses and said thoughtfully: "Li Shiyu... that is Dean Chen's confidant and favorite general!"
"Yes, but at this time when the new government is hiring people, I should put aside my past personal prejudices and put the interests of the new government first."
"Well said! Minister Zhou, you really did not disappoint me. You are truly a pillar of the party and the country! But I have to consider this candidate again. You have worked hard along the way, so take a good rest!"
After coming out of the office, Zhou Fohai briefly explained to his secretary and then left.
"You two, I have already booked a room for you at the Central Hotel as instructed by Mr. Zhou. Shall we go there now?"
However, before he finished speaking, Li Qiang said: "Secretary-General Yu, why don't you and my elder brother go there first, and I..."
"...Oh, I understand, I understand!" Secretary Yu nodded quickly after hearing this, then turned to Minglou and said, "Since Section Chief Ming and his wife have an appointment, then Deputy Director Ming, let's go there first?
"
After saying that, the two of them walked outside talking and laughing. Then Li Qiang came to the door of Secretary Shi's office as promised and knocked gently.
"come in!"
Before he finished speaking, Li Qiang opened the door and walked in.
However, as soon as Li Qiang came in, Secretary Shi said angrily: "Humph, I guess you keep your promise! Here, take it!"
With that said, he handed an envelope to Li Qiang.
When I opened it, I saw that it was a cash check worth 100,000 French currency!
"Secretary Shi, what are you..."
"You have made great contributions to the Fourth Young Master Tang. This is what Chairman Wang rewards you for. Take it, you deserve it!"
"This..." Li Qiang hesitated for a moment, then took the check and said solemnly, "In that case, I would like to thank Chairman Wang and Secretary Shi."
Speaking of this, Li Qiang seemed to suddenly remember something and said: "Ah, by the way, this is for you!"
With that said, Li Qiang took out a key from his pocket and handed it to Secretary Shi, "This is the key to the safe you gave me before you left. I think it's time to return it to its original owner."
"Return the property to its original owner?" It's okay that Secretary Shi didn't listen. Hearing what Li Qiang said, he couldn't help but be stunned, "So, the things inside..."
"Don't worry, except for the gold bars you promised to give me as reward, I haven't touched the jewelry, house deeds or anything like that."
"So, you knew I would come back?" At this time, Secretary Shi's eyes were almost as big as bull's eyes and he asked in disbelief.
However, Li Qiang just touched his nose and said casually: "I guessed it."
"Really? Then I want to congratulate you for guessing it right! Since you guessed it right, there must be a reward. Tell me, what do you want?"
"I need a special pass that allows me to enter and exit the customs at will." Li Qiang blurted out unabashedly.
Unexpectedly, Secretary Shi was more direct than him, "What, you want to engage in smuggling?"
As soon as these words came out, Li Qiang couldn't help but be stunned, but Secretary Shi seemed to be very satisfied with Li Qiang's reaction, and couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Look, it scared you, isn't it smuggling?
It sounds like a big deal, let me tell you the truth! Even your Minister Zhou has more than a dozen ships of prohibited goods coming in and out of the customs every month. Compared with him, your little goods are not worth anything at all.
carry."
At this point, Secretary Shi changed the subject, "But even so, I have to remind you that if you just want to smuggle some contraband, or even a small amount of smoke and soot, that's fine. But this ammunition is absolutely dangerous."
No, otherwise I’m afraid even Chairman Wang himself won’t be able to protect you, do you understand?”
"Understood!" Li Qiang nodded quickly and said, "Don't worry, Secretary Shi, I am naturally aware of this kind of head-turning thing."
"That's good. As for the special pass, I will give it to you before you go back."
"Sorry to trouble you, Secretary Shi." After saying this, Li Qiang was about to stand up and leave.
Unexpectedly, Secretary Shi asked coldly, "By the way, did you see a key with the number '21' engraved on it in the safe?"
"I saw it."
"Then it's now..."
"Of course it's still in the safe."
Hearing this, Secretary Shi breathed a long sigh of relief, then put on a smiling face again and said to Li Qiang: "It's okay, you go back! Have a good rest."
…
After leaving Jiming Temple, Li Qiang went straight to the Central Hotel.
However, as soon as he entered the hotel lobby, Li Qiang keenly felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere. Especially after he asked the hotel front desk for the room number where Qi Minglou was located, he suddenly received countless surveillance looks from all directions.
.
But even so, Li Qiang walked into the elevator calmly as usual and went straight to the suite that Secretary Yu had reserved for the two of them.
"How's it going? You should have noticed it when you came up, right?" Ming Lou, who was standing in front of a huge floor-to-ceiling window with a glass of red wine as soon as he entered the door, said somewhat haphazardly.
Li Qiang nodded, "There are five in the lobby, one in the elevator, and two in the corridor. It seems that the other party is bound to win this time and will not hesitate to spend a lot of money."
"It seems like my head is quite valuable!" As he said that, Minglou drank the red wine in his glass, and then said something incomprehensible, "Let's go!"
"Go? Where?"
"I guess this is your first time in Nanjing! I made a reservation at the restaurant downstairs, and I will take you to try the signature dishes here. I heard that their braised pork here, Marshal Zhang was full of praise after eating it!"
Hearing this, Li Qiang was stunned for a moment, and then he vaguely guessed Minglou's intention, "Brother, are you planning to use yourself as bait to lure them out of the hole?"
"Clever! And I want to use this assassination against me to make a big fuss!" After that, the two of them left the room and walked towards the restaurant on the first floor.
At the same time, in Wang Jingwei's office at Jiming Temple.
"So, that guy not only returned the key to the safe to you, but also didn't touch anything inside?"
"Yes, he even passed the final test you set." Secretary Shi replied truthfully.
"Well, I don't ask what I shouldn't ask, I don't check what I shouldn't check, and I can control even the most difficult curiosity. It seems you are right. This Mingqiang is indeed a rare talent for keeping secrets.
Ah! No wonder Zhou Fohai asked him to be his eyeliner." Wang Jingwei said with emotion.
"Then...should we find a way to win him over?" Secretary Shi asked tentatively.
Wang Jingwei didn't want to but waved his hand, "Don't worry, the East China Suppression General Administration is about to be established. You first find a way to place an informant around him and observe him for a while."
"Yes, I understand." Having said this, Secretary Shi paused for a moment, and then asked cautiously, "Sir, what about the special pass..."
"You can just make up your own mind about such a small matter. You don't have to ask me. I have many things to do. I want to focus on picking up the fourth son of Tang Dynasty to come to Nanjing. You go and call Dean Chen and tell me
If you come to him with something important, ask him to come see me immediately."
