Since the first step of the plan formulated by the Secret Service Headquarters for the concession has achieved its goal, the second step will follow. On the afternoon of the day She Aizhen was arrested, two patrol officers in the patrol room of Jing'an Temple were shot.
, resulting in one death and one injury.
Immediately afterwards, three more assassinations occurred the next day. The Jing'an Temple patrol room was too close to the secret service headquarters, so the patrols did not dare to go out to patrol the streets.
"Director Chen, I am He Zhuoxian, a friend of Mayor Chen Gongbo. He invited you to come to my place for a meal at seven o'clock tonight. I want to discuss something with you." He Zhuoxian actually called.
"Thanks to the mayor's favor, I am naturally more respectful than obedient. Please tell the mayor that I will be on time for the appointment." After asking for the address, Chen Mingxiang hung up the phone.
When entertaining himself at home, Chen Gongbo is quite straightforward in doing things and does not worry about gossip at all. Perhaps nowadays, this phenomenon is no longer worth making a fuss about.
"Since Chen Gongbo wants to talk to you about work, it's outrageous enough to have dinner at home, but he actually wants to call you himself. Isn't this a bit strange?" Liu Nina said curiously.
"Don't you understand? He Zhuoxian called me at her residence. This means that I have to prepare double gifts. For the first visit, I can't go empty-handed, right?"
"You go to the foreign store in the concession and buy two sets of the latest styles of jewelry, two sets of cosmetics, two bottles of perfume, um, two barrels of fine coffee, don't think it's expensive. I'll go find two pieces of Hangzhou silk and two pieces of Shu embroidery
, carry two more kilograms of tea leaves, and two red tea leaves, and I will give each of them a thousand dollars." Chen Mingxiang said with a smile.
Chen Gongbo, the new mayor, has just arrived, and the relationship with the city government has not been straightened out yet. It is estimated that the bribes will not be confiscated. Even if there is any, he must take care of it at home, as well as secretary Mo Guokang, sisters He Zhuoxian and He Bingxian.
The money won't be too much.
Huatong Trading Company frequently makes large transactions worth millions of French currency, and Chen Mingxiang has always been very generous with his dealings, and he is even more willing to invest in building relationships. The valuable gifts he received during the Chinese New Year already made Chen Gongbo very satisfied.
Raising these sisters is not something that can be done casually. People like him, an old guy in his mid-100s, want to exchange youth, beauty and body for a luxurious life, so Chen Gongbo wants to use this method to give them
Make some income.
"These things are quite expensive, and there is also a red envelope of two thousand dollars. This is a scarce commodity right now. Isn't the price of your meal too high?" Liu Nina said in surprise.
Two sets of imported jewelry cost several thousand yuan, and if two thousand US dollars were sold on the black market, it would be converted into 40,000 French currency, which is a lot of money!
"Don't worry, my money is not that easy to collect. If Chen Gongbo dares to make this call, he must have something good for me, and he is worthy of my gifts and gifts. This is also the rule of the game in official circles."
"When you come back from shopping later, I will also give you a thousand dollars. Keep it for yourself and don't spend it randomly. It will come in handy in critical times in the future."
"Look at how low the current legal currency has fallen. China Reserve Bank Notes are even more unlucky. They are almost like waste paper. In troubled times, you must have some capital to save your life." Chen Mingxiang said with some emotion.
Chen Mingxiang still has some feelings for the Liu Nina in front of him, who has won the reputation of "Sai Guifei" for her beauty and figure. After such a long period of contact, Chen Mingxiang still has some feelings for her.
The key is that after he was transferred to the inspection team, Li Shiqun no longer arranged for Liu Nina to seduce the enemy with her beauty. The secret service headquarters was strong and talented, so such underhanded tactics were unnecessary.
If she changes her mind and follows him honestly, Chen Mingxiang is willing to protect her from the rest of her life, even though this expectation is a bit slim.
This old traitor is really nice to me!
In front of you is a three-story French-style garden house with a garden. The area looks very spacious, with floor-to-ceiling windows, chimneys, lawns, flower stands, etc. It is romantic and stylish, and the price is naturally high.
"Welcome Director Chen. Our humble abode is in full bloom. Please come in quickly!" Two sisters, He Zhuoxian and Bingxian, actually greeted him personally outside the door, which was a great honor.
The moon was white and the wind was clear at night. The two sisters were wearing long dresses, looking noble and elegant. Their snow-white arms were particularly conspicuous under the light.
Several bodyguards outside the door helped Chen Mingxiang out of the car with great discernment. Everyone was secretly amazed that the biggest smuggling leader and the boss of the inspection team in Shanghai was indeed very aggressive.
Surprisingly, he actually brought more than a dozen gifts.
But the strange thing is that the two sisters did not seem to pay attention to these gifts, but politely let Chen Mingxiang into the living room first. Looking at them who were gentle and quiet, even a man like Chen Mingxiang, who was used to seeing beautiful women, felt moved for a moment.
"Brother Mingxiang is here, sit down quickly, say a few words and let's have a drink." Chen Gongbo, who was sitting on the sofa reading documents, stood up with a smile.
"This is a formal meeting with the two ladies. I hope you will accept my small kindness." Chen Mingxiang handed He Zhuoxian and He Bingxian a red envelope each.
He Zhuoxian picked up the purple sand teapot on the coffee table and poured Chen Mingxiang a cup of tea first. The maid took the gift to another room.
The two sisters actually have six maids, and they probably need a gardener to take care of the garden and mow the lawn, a cook to cook, and a driver to drive. The return on this deal is quite generous.
"The Jinling government actually inherited a mess. After being devastated by a war, all walks of life are in dire need. It is very difficult to rebuild the economy and people's livelihood."
"You also know the importance of the Shanghai Stock Exchange. It is the most important taxation and financial center of our Jinling government. Its industrial and commercial status is irreplaceable."
"The environment here is quite special. There are concessions from three countries: Britain, the United States and France. The city government cannot exercise its power, and the relationship between them is not harmonious. More importantly, the Japanese government has great interests in the Shanghai stock market. All aspects of it are
There are a lot of restrictions, and I feel a little overwhelmed just to deal with these things."
"After all, I am almost fifty years old, and my energy is not as good as before. I have always wanted to find a helper to help me handle these affairs, and you are my most promising candidate, the leader of the younger generation." Chen Gongbo said.
You can't speak too clearly. Anyway, both of them know what it means. This is the tragedy of the traitor government and the puppet government. The master behind the scenes has the final say in everything. They live in a low voice all day long, which is really uncomfortable.
"Your Excellency, the Mayor, is too well-received. I was born in troubled times and just wanted to make a living. I didn't expect to reach my current position. It was just a coincidence. There are many talents in the city government. I have little experience and knowledge, so I am afraid of living up to your expectations."
