The secret of being an official is to do what you want and give what you want. Chen Gongbo used to be a military and political official in the mountain city government, but he was suppressed by the commission because he followed Wang Jingwei. Dai Li was still very familiar with him and knew his behavior. Two problems.
"I talked to Chunfeng when we were in Shanghai last time. There is a big team in the secret service headquarters. Li Shiqun's wife Ye Jiqing, Wu Sibao's wife She Aizhen, confidential secretary Shen Gengmei, plus two people who specialize in creating gentle villages. Liu Nina and Xu Caili are so lively."
"The most important thing is that the damn female spy Nan Zao Yunzi seems to be very interested in Chunfeng and wants to capture him under her pomegranate skirt and serve her. If the director wants Chunfeng to be attentive to Chen Gongbo's little one, he will It has to be roasted to a crisp." Pan Qiwu couldn't stop laughing when he said this.
It's rare for a boss to be in a good mood, so it's natural for a subordinate to tell some news for fun. In fact, Boss Dai doesn't do much in this regard, but no one within the Military Command Bureau dares to discuss it.
"The hook justifies the means. As long as we can obtain information, anything can be changed. The most powerful wind in the world must be the pillow wind. Don't underestimate the power of women. Sometimes one sentence can decide a matter." The success or failure of things.”
"Just like Wang Jingwei and Chen Bijun, they both say that Chen Bijun is the most ugly woman in the Republic of China, and Wang Jingwei is the most handsome man in the Republic of China. But what about the impression they give to the outside world? Wang Jingwei can't do anything without Chen Bijun, and Chen Bijun often does bad things when he intervenes. !" Dai Li said with a smile.
The office address of the Shanghai Social Affairs Bureau is on Baochang Road, also called Xiafei Road. It was born out of the construction of roads across the concession area and is a prosperous area in the city center.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Mingxiang took the municipal government's letter of appointment signed and sealed by Chen Gongbo, and three Ford cars drove into the gate of the Social Affairs Bureau.
Director Ling Xianwen and the leaders of the bureau, including a group of division chiefs, stood at the foot of the steps to greet him. Before arriving, Chen Mingxiang took the initiative to call him.
There were also two Japanese men in suits and leather shoes with human-like faces and animal faces. One was Miyazaki Sadayuki, a senior adviser to the Social Affairs Bureau, and the other was Takada Yasushi, a clerk.
This is also the tragedy of Wang N. He is basically an empty frame and does not have much autonomy. He is just a puppet. You have to do whatever the master asks you to do. Only by being obedient can you get meat.
In fact, the Social Affairs Bureau is not alone in having so-called Japanese consultants. From the city government to the lower bureaus, there are supervisors sent by the Japanese Army Ministry’s secret service in Shanghai. They are the people behind the scenes who hold the highest power.
"Welcome Deputy Director Chen to take office. On behalf of the overall situation, I would like to extend a warm welcome!" Ling Xianwen said with a smile and took the initiative to extend his hand.
"Mingxiang has little talent and little experience in how to handle government affairs. I would like the director to give you guidance in the future. If there are any shortcomings, please bear with me." Chen Mingxiang and Ling Xianwen shook hands and said.
The first impression of the leaders of the Social Affairs Bureau about Chen Mingxiang was that this famous young man in Shanghai was very humble and low-key, and he seemed to be easy to get along with.
"Chen Jun, welcome to the Social Affairs Bureau. I am consultant Miyazaki Sadayuki, and this is clerk Takada Tai." The two Japanese bowed and spoke in Japanese.
"Before coming here, General Matsue and General Kinoshita both asked me to cooperate with Miyazaki-kun and serve the empire wholeheartedly. Please take good care of me in the future." Chen Mingxiang said in Japanese, also bowing.
Towards other people in the Social Affairs Bureau, even Director Ling Xianwen, the two Japanese had a very arrogant attitude, but they would never dare to use this attitude on Chen Mingxiang.
He is a powerful figure with dual backgrounds in the Navy and Army, especially the Special High School of the Military Police Headquarters, and he also has the power to monitor and punish the Japanese.
Without an extremely strong backing, there would be no reward for offending Chen Mingxiang. The Japanese Army Ministry’s secret service stationed in Shanghai did not dare to bare its teeth in front of the Military Police Headquarters.
For the officials and staff of the Social Affairs Bureau, the arrival of the deputy director was no less than an earthquake. No one knew the reputation of the boss of the inspection team.
The vast majority of people welcome this. Chen Mingxiang holds the power of material inspection throughout Shanghai. With a little care, he may not be promoted, but he is sure to make a fortune.
From the first day they arrived at the Social Affairs Bureau, the two Japanese consultants looked up to death. Ling Xianwen did not receive any preferential treatment, but when they saw Chen Mingxiang, they had to take the initiative to say hello. This is the difference between people. Ling Xianwen relied on
The one is Chen Gongbo, whose waist is not as strong as Chen Mingxiang.
"Chen Mingxiang is hereby appointed as deputy director and mayor of the Social Affairs Bureau of the Shanghai Special Municipal Government, Chen Gongbo, on November 20, 29th of the Republic of China." Ling Xianwen read out the letter of appointment, and the appointment ceremony was simple.
After a brief speech at the meeting, Chen Mingxiang, accompanied by Ling Xianwen, came to his office. There were two large offices on the second floor, and there was actually a secretary's office next door.
"The office conditions of our Social Affairs Bureau are really difficult. Director, please find an opportunity to apply to the mayor for some decoration. As the dignified first bureau of the municipal government, you have to save some face, right?" Chen Mingxiang entered the office and felt a little unhappy.
.
Although the office of Huatong Trading Company was not decorated in a big way when we moved in, it was because the previous merchants had decorated it very well.
The offices of the inspection team and the inspection office can only be described as luxurious. Being accustomed to working in this environment, he was very dissatisfied with the old building of the Social Affairs Bureau. The environment was not good!
In fact, the news of Chen Mingxiang's arrival was notified yesterday. Ling Xianwen specially arranged the logistics department to prepare an office for him. All the office furniture was newly purchased and the price was high.
After all, it is an integral part of the city government, so it can't be any worse, but the deputy director has a look of disgust on his face. He deserves to be compared with others!
"The conditions are indeed limited and will gradually improve in the future. I will take up my new post this time and be in charge of the Industrial and Commercial Administration Office as requested by the mayor!" Ling Xianwen said.
His heart is bleeding. The Industrial and Commercial Administration Department is the most lucrative job in the Social Affairs Bureau. If you want to open a factory or a business, even if you want to open a restaurant, you need the approval of this department. It has the most power and the most money. It has always been the exclusive domain of the director.
, which is also a symbol of authority, was given to Chen Mingxiang.
But this was the request of the Japanese army, and it was also approved by Chen Gongbo. He even talked to Ling Xianwen specifically about this, and he said it had to be done if it was okay or not, and there was no room for negotiation.
"The director also knows that I still have other duties at the special agent headquarters. The inspection team is in a lot of trouble. I'm afraid I can't go to and from get off work normally. At this time, I have to squeeze it out slowly like toothpaste." Chen Mingxiang He said very helplessly.
