I drank wine with Wu Zecheng until 11 o'clock, and the two talked about it. Apart from talking about work, they also got a rough idea of what happened in the island city in the past three years.
Fang Zhitong became the editor-in-chief of "Public People's Daily". This guy was very good at writing stories. His column in "Public People's Daily" almost became the newspaper's gold medal column. Now he is also a well-known "cultural person" in the island city.
As for Lao Zhao, he still works as the shopkeeper of a cake shop year after year. Under his seemingly ordinary status, I don't know if there are any storms.
There is also the "Xinsheng Bathing Club" not far away. The business has always been good. Geng Chaozhong still has at least 50% of the shares in it. Wu Zecheng is mainly responsible for taking care of it. However, most of the money he earns is paid in party dues.
Chao Zhong didn't care at all.
There is also Ye Feifei, this little girl still manages her own business carefully and has become a famous socialite in the island city. Her suitors are like crucian carp crossing the river. However, after all these years, she is still alone and she does not know.
What are you looking at, what are you waiting for...
"Geng, you're a little drunk." Wu Zecheng glanced at Geng Chaozhong.
"Are you drunk?" Geng Chaozhong blinked, and the rising mist in his eyes disappeared instantly.
"No, I made a mistake," Wu Zecheng shook his head helplessly, "What are your plans? Or should you stay in the island city for a few days and see the limelight?"
"No, I'll leave tomorrow morning and go back to Peiping." Geng Chaozhong said.
Now that things happened, he could no longer hide his affairs in Peking from Wu Zecheng, so Geng Chaozhong simply spoke out.
"Are you sure?" Wu Zecheng was stunned.
Although Geng Chaozhong didn't say anything, Wu Zecheng could guess that the person who escaped must have mastered Geng Chaozhong's secret. If that person chose to inform, Geng Chaozhong would have thrown himself into a trap when he returned to Peiping. Wu Zecheng originally thought that Geng Chaozhong
Even if he couldn't prevent things from happening, there was still no problem in escaping safely. Unexpectedly, he would dare to go deep into the tiger's den!
"It will take three days to go to Nanjing and another three days to send people to Peking to arrest me. So, from now on, I have at least six days. During these six days, I will still be safe," Geng Chaozhong smiled.
"Besides, I still think I can see him in Peking."
He refers to Yun Wei. If Yun Wei chooses to keep the secret, he will definitely return to Peiping as soon as possible.
"That's true," Wu Zecheng touched his head, "It's like turning over cards. How can you tell whether it's a leopard or a bad guy unless you turn over the last card?"
"Well," Geng Chaozhong smiled mysteriously, "If the last card wasn't a little bastard, maybe I could kill a big dragon."
"Okay!" Seeing Geng Chaozhong's confident look, Wu Zecheng also became happy. After a pause, he said again:
"By the way, I got news that Chang Kaishen is deploying troops again. I guess it won't be long before they start encircling and suppressing the Soviet area again."
"I have also heard a lot of rumors," Geng Chaozhong nodded, "This time is different from the past. I often borrow money from Britain, Germany, and Italy, and bought a lot of arms. It is said that the number of troops is as many as one million. I heard
People say that Principal Chang goes to Nanchang to camp every now and then, apparently because he wants to finish his work in one battle."
"It's a good idea. I've suffered a lot of injuries the first four times, so it's not surprising this time either." Wu Zecheng muttered.
"It's hard to say," Geng Chaozhong shook his head, "Now there are monks from outside in the Soviet area who like to chant sutras."
"You know a lot?" Wu Zecheng's face showed a bit of surprise, "I've heard about it too, from my hometown..."
"Stop!" Geng Chaozhong waved his hand, interrupted Wu Zecheng, and said:
"No matter what happens, we just have to do our best. I have 100% confidence in our party. Even if we encounter some setbacks temporarily, I will not change my original intention."
"Well, what you said makes sense. How difficult was it during the Great Revolution? We survived that time. Now that the base area has strong troops, what else is there to be afraid of?" Wu Zecheng nodded repeatedly.
"What I'm saying is, come on, have a drink!" Geng Chaozhong raised his glass.
Ding!
There was a crisp crashing sound, and the two drank at the same time.
Wu Zecheng burped, wiped his mouth, and said:
"By the way, you have to be careful in Peking. In the past six months, there have been thousands of Japanese expatriates passing through the island city. Many of them are traveling between the two places to engage in human trafficking and opium. Many Japanese ronin are also collectors.
In terms of intelligence work, our police station has investigated many cases, and they are very difficult. If you arrest people on the front foot, the Japanese consulate will come to arrest them on the back foot. It is very difficult to deal with."
"Well, what you are saying is that there are indeed more and more Japanese in Beiping City." Geng Chaozhong nodded slightly in agreement, but suddenly the subject changed and he said: "There is one more thing I want to ask of you.
.”
"Say, there is no need to be polite between us." Perhaps because he drank too much, Wu Zecheng's face was full of pride.
"That's right," Geng Chaozhong pondered, "Actually, I have lost contact with the party organization. If something happens to me this time, I hope you can prove my identity."
"What?!" Wu Zecheng was shocked.
"Really, I only have one single-line contact, and he is in trouble over there now." Geng Chaozhong pointed to the front.
"This..." Wu Zecheng's expression was a little hesitant, "In your case, you still need to contact the superiors as soon as possible. If it takes a long time, I'm afraid it will be very troublesome."
"I know, so I'm telling you." Geng Chaozhong shook the wine glass in his hand.
"It's useless to tell me. You know, losing your online love worker is like a kite with a broken string. No one knows where it will fly. Even if you contact me in the future, you may no longer be trusted by the organization.
There is still screening and review, so I think you should find an opportunity to go to the Soviet Area as soon as possible." Wu Zecheng said sincerely.
"It's impossible to go to the Soviet area." Geng Chaozhong shook his head.
"Well..." Wu Zecheng paused, obviously understanding what Geng Chaozhong meant. After thinking for a moment, he spoke again:
"Otherwise, if you add the organizational relationship to our East China Bureau, Lao Zhao and I can prove your identity. If you get in touch with your direct superior in the future, it won't be too late to transfer the organizational relationship. If you do this
If you are floating outside, you will be in trouble if you automatically leave the party."
"Let's see again!" Geng Chaozhong shook his head, "Also, don't tell Lao Zhao about my affairs, you can just know it yourself."
"Don't worry," Wu Zecheng nodded, "no one will know about your coming to the island city."
