Because he served as the deputy director of the Social Affairs Bureau and was an important official of the municipal government, on the evening of New Year's Day, Chen Mingxiang first came to the city government's celebration reception.
He planned to meet with Chen Gongbo and other key leaders of the municipal government, have a few drinks and chat, and then sneak to the reception at the Japanese Consulate General in Shanghai.
It is estimated that Chen Gongbo and a few others would also do this. The traitors would not dare not deny the Japanese government's face.
Considering his situation, the reception at the Consulate General of Japan in Shanghai was held an hour later than the reception at the municipal government. If the mayor of Shanghai was not present, the so-called celebration by the Consulate General would be a joke.
Starting at six o'clock in the evening, Chen Mingxiang walked into the lobby on the first floor of the municipal government office building at 5:30, where many guests had already arrived in advance.
Beautiful music came to my ears, and I saw the guests whispering to each other while holding wine glasses. There were also many female relatives present, some were wives, some were daughters, and some were secretaries or lovers.
"Director Chen came early enough." A soft voice said from beside him.
"It turns out to be Secretary Mo. You came very early. I wish you a happy New Year!" Chen Mingxiang turned around and saw that it was Chen Gongbo's secretary Mo Guokang.
"Last time I received such an expensive gift from Director Chen, can you dance with me tonight as a favor?" Mo Guokang said with a smile.
"I don't dare. It's my wish. I don't dare to invite you. It's an honor for me to dance with Secretary Mo. Please!" Chen Mingxiang stretched out his hand.
Mo Guokang's dance was very elegant and skillful, and he must have had a lot of experience in such occasions. Chen Mingxiang behaved very gentlemanly and well-behaved in public. The two of them were not familiar with each other. If the movements were a little more intimate, God knows whether there would be rumors!
The office building of the pseudo-Shanghai Special Municipal Government has heating pipes, and the room temperature can reach more than 20 degrees. Mo Guokang was wearing a sleeveless cheongsam, showing his white arms, which can be said to be very thin.
Holding her soft body, Chen Mingxiang originally wanted to distance himself, but he didn't expect that Mo Guokang would stick to his body, especially the plumpness and height of her chest. Although it was not as majestic as Liu Nina's, it still made him feel good.
A different kind of excitement.
"Have Director Chen seen the two beauties in the southwest corner?" Mo Guokang whispered.
These are Chen Gongbo’s pair of sister lovers, right?
Chen Mingxiang looked at the southwest corner of the hall and saw two beauties who looked very similar. They were wearing short-sleeved Western-style evening dresses and long skirts.
He has a tall and curvy figure, big watery eyes, curved crescent eyebrows, red lips, white teeth and skin as white as snow. He has a diamond necklace hanging around his neck and a watch on his hand. He is dressed in a Western style and attracts the attention of most people.
"This is Miss Zhuoxian and Miss Bingxian. The flowers are blooming at the same time. The mayor is very lucky." Chen Mingxiang said with a smile.
"Director Chen is the youngest senior official and the most dazzling star at the reception tonight. I guess they will ask you to dance. If you want the twin sisters' beauty, you can fight for it yourself!" Mo Guokang said.
"Secretary Mo is joking, how dare I have such thoughts. In fact, they just have the characteristics of twins. They can't compare with you in terms of charm. But I feel that your sentence
There seems to be some mystery hidden in those words!" Chen Mingxiang said with a smile.
He Zhuoxian and He Bingxian's eyes are lively. You can tell at a glance that they are very smart. Whether it is charm or style, they are definitely not inferior to Mo Guokang. But Chen Mingxiang is hugging Mo Guokang at the moment. Women are the easiest to be jealous.
Can't you praise these sisters in person?
"Director Chen is not yet thirty years old. He has already become an important official of the city government. He holds two lucrative positions at Huatong Trading Company and the Inspection Team. It can be said that he is young and rich, and he has close relations with the Japanese.
It's natural to be tempted by you." Mo Guokang said.
The relationship between these sisters and Chen Gongbo is "pure", just for a luxurious life, but if Chen Gongbo is compared with Chen Mingxiang, he has no other advantages except that he is older and has more power. The largest smuggling leader in Shanghai,
Is that called for nothing?
"Brother, you are so lucky. The mayor's secretary favors you very much, and he dances with you. I don't know how many people are envious of you." Lu Ying came over with a wine glass, a malicious smile on his face.
"Never underestimate a woman's ability and wisdom. There is a saying that goes like this: Wenwen Township is the grave of heroes. I'm afraid that the mayor will become a beauty in anger." Chen Mingxiang said.
"I'm relieved if you think so. Mo Guokang is a very powerful woman. She can keep the mayor in check, which shows her resourcefulness and means."
"The reason why I look at you differently is that her brother wants to get involved in the material inspection, so he first seeks out your friendship, and instead of peeing and looking at himself, he dares to snatch meat from his brother's bowl. It's really shameful.
You know how to write the word "death." Lu Ying said.
Chen Mingxiang and Lu Ying are natural allies. Lu Ying's nephew Song Bohai is now Chen Mingxiang's direct descendant and holds a high position in the inspection team. Of course, Lu Ying does not want anyone else to be the inspection team leader.
"It's useless to talk to me about this matter. The appointment of leaders above the department level is decided by the Military Police Headquarters. If Mayor Chen Gongbo talks with the Japanese in person, there may be some hope." Chen Mingxiang said with a smile.
Damn, you really know how to choose a place. When you first came to Shanghai and you have not yet established a firm foothold, you want to grab a good position from me. If it were so easy, I would have capsized long ago. Do you still have to wait until now?
No wonder Mo Guokang was so enthusiastic and intimate tonight. Is he trying to use a honey trap on me? Be careful of making a loss-making deal!
"If Chen Gongbo did something so inconsequential, it would not be his turn to be the mayor. My brother has a very good relationship with the Japanese Navy. He was recommended by the Japanese Navy. Speaking of which, he is one of our own. How could he fall out with you because of his secretary?
"Lu Ying is indeed an old fox, he can see through it at a glance.
"You mean to say that she knew the thing couldn't be done, so she settled for the next best thing and wanted to assign her brother to the inspection team? This is impossible. The mayor has so many errands under his hands. You can just pick any one.
It made her brother's mouth full of oil." Chen Mingxiang said.
You've confused me by going round and round. Can you finish what you said in one go?
"I guess it's not your inspection team, it may be the new material inspection unit. I heard an important news a few days ago. After the establishment of the Jinling government, it has been negotiating with the Japanese side to obtain the power to control materials. After eight months,
After negotiations, Japan finally agreed to make concessions."
"The material control department of the Jinling government will be established in Shanghai, and a new inspection management office will be established at that time. The functions will overlap with your inspection team." Lu Ying said.
