"I'll go over and take a look." After saying that, Wu Shibao turned around and walked out.
"What's the hurry? You can go after dinner!"
"No, I can't get used to foreign food, let's go!" After saying that, he left the restaurant.
"Phew! The annoying guy is finally gone." It wasn't until Wu Shibao left that Gu Xiaomeng breathed a sigh of relief and finally relaxed.
Haitang on the side couldn't help but asked Li Qiang: "First you chose the Western food that Wu Shibao hates the most, and then you found an excuse to send him away. Do you have something important to tell us?"
"Smart!" Li Qiang glanced at Haitang with admiration, and then lowered his voice and said to the two of them, "Before setting off, I received an order from the summit, asking us to take advantage of this opportunity to assist Fengtian.
Set up an intelligence station."
"Help? How can I help?" Gu Xiaomeng asked subconsciously.
Haitang blurted out after a moment of silence: "So, you have already taken over with the people at Fengtian Station?"
Li Qiang did not hide anything, "Well, I have already taken over. Now Fengtian Station is still in the early stages of establishment and is in urgent need of assistance from two aspects. One is the personnel problem. Without people, there is no way to quickly build an intelligence network; the other is the radio station
, since the Japanese and puppets have intensified the blockade, the radio station cannot get in at all, so we can only find a way on our own."
"That's why you asked Wu Shibao to go to the North Market to find out the details of the gangsters entrenched there?"
"That's right. This place is no different than other places. It has been occupied by the Japanese since the 20th year of the Republic of China. And due to their forced enslavement policy, it is no exaggeration to say that the possibility of engaging in underground activities has been basically cut off. So I think
To recruit people, we must make a fuss about those people at the lowest level of life. As for the radio station..."
"Leave it to me!" Before he finished speaking, Gu Xiaomeng volunteered, "As long as I have the right parts, I can build a radio."
"Okay, then make a list of the parts you need, and I'll figure out the rest."
Just as he was talking, the waiter brought up delicious meals one after another...
After dinner, the three of them immediately went back to their rooms and got busy.
Although the four of them had two rooms in total, the two women insisted that Li Qiang live in the same room with them, so Li Qiang had no choice but to sleep on the sofa in the outer room.
There was no talking all night, and early the next morning, Li Qiang, who was sleeping soundly, was awakened by a knock on the door.
"Who?"
Before he finished speaking, Wu Shibao's voice rang out, "It's me, Mr. Ming, are you up? It's almost time to have breakfast."
"knew."
Half an hour later, Li Qiang walked out of the room with Haitang and Gu Xiaomeng, and followed Wu Shibao to the restaurant on the first floor.
"How's it going? Did you get anything out of last night? Have you figured out the details of those gangsters?" Li Qiang first picked up a bun with chopsticks and took a bite, then asked lightly.
Wu Shibao nodded, "That's about it. I heard that those guys call themselves the 'Pole Gang', and most of the members came from Rehe a few years ago."
"'Pole Gang'?"
"They are just beggars!" Wu Shibao said with disdain. "The storyteller mentioned the 'gang of beggars'. The leader's surname is Yang. Those beggars call him 'big pole', which is also 'beggar head'. It is said that the whole Fengtian
All the beggars will worship him at the dock."
"Yang Dazhanzi? I didn't expect that there is such a number one person active under the nose of this Japanese! Can you think of a way to invite him here to meet me?"
"What are you doing seeing him?"
"Of course it's time to find out the truth about Mitsui & Co. There is an ancient saying that the most well-informed people in the world are probably three types of people: beggars, turtles, and waiters. It is true that these people are small people, but things often happen to such small people.
.”
Even Wu Shibao, after listening to Li Qiang's words, unconsciously nodded in agreement, "Well, that makes sense, then I'll try it now."
After saying that, Wu Shibao drank up the millet porridge in the bowl, wiped his mouth, stood up and left.
After watching Wu Shibao leave, Li Qiang suddenly frowned.
"What's wrong?" Haitang on the side asked in a low voice after seeing this.
"Look at the doormen at the door. Have they been replaced?"
Before he finished speaking, Gu Xiaomeng cut the omelette in front of him with a knife and fork and said: "Yes, there is a change of people. I paid special attention to it when I entered the door yesterday, and I overheard the lobby manager announcing that yesterday
The doorman on duty has three days off."
Just as he was talking, it seemed that it was time to change the shift, and four guys in doorman uniforms came out of the employee lounge and took over from those who had been guarding the door before.
And just when those guys were coming in and out, Li Qiang keenly spotted a uniform hanging on a hanger in the employee lounge through the crack in the open door of the employee lounge.
At this moment, Haitang's voice rang out, "Look over there, the staff lounge."
"Well, I noticed it."
"Can you confirm which system it is from?"
Li Qiang shook his head, "It's a style I've never seen before. It's definitely not the Iron Police or the Security Bureau."
"I heard that a police agency was just established here not long ago, called the garrison, to strengthen regional security. It is not only in Fengtian, but also in important cities such as Xinjing, Jilin, and Harbin."
Hearing this, Li Qiang breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, he's not from the Security Bureau. As long as he doesn't come for us, the problem won't be big."
However, before he finished speaking, there was a noise at the door. Looking around, he saw a group of people walking in from the outside, not only holding large and small professional equipment in their hands, but also carrying two
A dozen heavy and large boxes immediately blocked the originally spacious lobby.
Although the arrival of this group of people caused quite a commotion at the beginning, the commotion miraculously subsided soon after, because many people recognized the leader and knew his background.
Not small.
I saw the man clasping his fists with both hands, bowing in a circle, and said loudly and energetically: "Gentlemen, ladies, young and old gentlemen, I'm sorry to bother you. I, Lu Ye, am honored to inform you that this place has been occupied.
I have chosen the location for the new film. I may cause some inconvenience to you in the next few days. Please bear with me. Of course, in addition to appropriate financial compensation, there are also plenty of opportunities to be in the film.
Appearing on camera, of course, please don’t act too deliberately, just pretend it doesn’t happen, Mr. Lu would like to thank you all in advance!”
As soon as these words came out, the entire hotel lobby was completely boiling. Some cheered and some were extremely excited. Even crazy movie fans swarmed up and surrounded Lu Ye on three floors inside and three outside. They all said:
They used various methods and unscrupulous means to obtain his signature.
Not only that, there were also a few newspaper reporters mixed in the crowd, and from time to time the light from a spotlight flashed in the crowd.
Looking at the security team members who were disguised as doormen and working hard to maintain order on the scene, Li Qiang suddenly realized something, but then he frowned even more tightly and asked in confusion: "No, that person
who is it?"
Gu Xiaomeng's eyes widened immediately after hearing this, and she said with a look of disbelief: "No, Brother Ming, that's Mr. Lu! He is a famous director in the Shanghai film industry. His Color series of movies is very popular. "
"Green Barley", "Sitting in Front of the White Jade Lion", "Soybeans" and "Blue Sun", as well as the popular movie "Cake" some time ago. Many people were so moved that they burst into tears on the spot in the cinema!
"
After hearing this, Li Qiang couldn't help curling his lips and complained unceremoniously: "What a mess! Returning 'cake', are you sure those people were moved and not greedy for that piece of cake?"
"Brother Ming, don't you understand this? This is art!"
Until then, Haitang, who had been silent, suddenly said coldly: "This may be a good cover."
"A cover? What cover?"
"Of course it's a pretense to buy radio parts! Don't forget that the Japanese take a close look at those key parts! No matter how careful you are, there will always be risks. Although I don't know how to assemble it, the basic principles are still clear.
Since buying parts directly is too risky, it is better to settle for the next best thing and directly modify the radio. For such a large crew, it is reasonable to purchase a radio due to shooting needs, right?"
Li Qiang was stunned for a moment after hearing this, but he quickly nodded in agreement and said, "What a good idea! But if we follow this method, the first thing we have to do is to get into the crew. Do you have any plans?"
"Of course!" Haitang smiled sweetly and said confidently, "You just need to..."
…
Half an hour later, after careful preparation, Li Qiang took the elevator directly to the fifth floor of the hotel.
But as soon as he stepped out of the elevator, he was stopped by the person guarding the door, "I'm sorry, sir, the entire fifth floor has been reserved by our Mr. Lu, no one is allowed in."
"Both brothers, to be honest, I am a reporter from China Daily, and I have taken the liberty to come here to do an exclusive interview with Director Lu. Here, please look at this, my ID."
As he said this, Li Qiang actually took out a certificate and handed it over confidently and boldly.
"...Du Fei?"
"Yes!" Li Qiang pushed his eyes on the bridge of his nose with his hand and replied sincerely, "I know Director Lu is a busy man and doesn't want to be disturbed during his break, but there's nothing I can do about it, brother.
Our Editor-in-Chief Hu has given a fatal order that I must publish an exclusive interview with Director Lu. Brother, I am also just making a living, so please ask the two brothers to be accommodating!"
While talking, two small yellow croakers were quietly stuffed into the hands of the two men.
The two people got the advantage and immediately looked at each other quickly. Then the taller one coughed lightly and said to Li Qiang very politely: "Ahem, that... Brother Du, I'll tell you the truth."
, It’s really not that we brothers are deliberately making things difficult for you, it’s actually Director Lu who is... um... it’s just... it’s not convenient for him, you understand, right? "
Hearing this, Li Qiang showed a tacit look and said repeatedly: "I understand, understand, then... how about I come over in the afternoon?"
"That's not necessary. Director Lu has been resting for a while. It shouldn't take long..."
Just as he was talking, the sound of opening and closing the door came from deep in the corridor, and the tall man said to Li Qiang: "It seems that it is finished. Brother Du, please wait a moment. I will report to Mr. Lu about the interview.
"
It wasn't long before the tall man came back.
"Master Lu asked me to take you to VIP Room No. 1 to wait for him. He will arrive soon."
"Okay, I'm done."
"You're welcome, please come this way."
About ten minutes later, Lu Ye, who was wrapped only in pajamas, with his hair disheveled and a cigar in his mouth, walked in from the outside step by step.
Li Qiang immediately stood up and stepped forward, saying respectfully: "Hello, Mr. Lu, please introduce yourself. My name is Du Fei..."
However, before Li Qiang could finish his words, he was interrupted by him raising his hand, "Let me ask you, is it really Editor Hu who asked you to do an exclusive interview with me?"
"yes!"
"You're lying!" Lu Ye squinted his eyes and asked word for word, "My coming to Fengtian to shoot scenes was completely impromptu. How could Editor Hu know about it? It's even more impossible to send reporters here! So, what reporter from "China Daily"?
Editor Hu's orders and interviews are all fake, and even the name 'Du Fei' was made up by you, right?"
As soon as these words came out, Li Qiang couldn't help being shocked, but he quickly calmed down and asked with a puzzled face: "Master Lu, why did you say this? Just because you are here temporarily.
Isn’t it too arbitrary to conclude that I am a fake at the first thought? If I’m not wrong, you didn’t really make a spur-of-the-moment decision. At the very least, you should have said hello to the people from the Fengtian Guards in advance, right?”
This time it was Lu Ye's turn to be surprised, "You...how do you even know this?"
"Master Lu, to tell you the truth, as journalists, our job is to disseminate news. If we don't even know this, how can we still survive in this industry?"
Hearing this, Lu Ye suddenly nodded, then burst into laughter and explained: "Brother Du, don't get me wrong, I am really scared of those Yakuza who pretend to be others and come to fish in troubled waters.
You said my time is so precious, how can I waste it on those who have ulterior motives? Don’t you think so?"
"Yes, yes, you are absolutely right!" Li Qiang nodded quickly in agreement, "Then... can we start now?"
Lu Ye didn't want to hear this but waved his hand, "Don't worry, before that, I have to take a test on you. If you can pass, I will accept your interview. If you can't, I'll be sorry."
"Excuse me!"
"Do you... know what 'one shot to the end' means?"
