The guests who first came to the club were definitely not high-ranking figures, but basically minor characters. There were also some people who had a close personal relationship with Chen Mingxiang and came to help greet the guests in advance to avoid a cold reception at the reception.
Chen Mingxiang also had a part-time job at the secret service headquarters, so the local security team showed up first. Wu Sibao, She Aizhen, Pan Ta and others were the first to arrive.
Following closely were Wan Lilang, Lin Zhijiang, Zhang Jinlu and others from the Action Corps. As for Fu Yewen and Ye Yaoxian, they came together with the Central Unification traitors Su Chengde, Yang Jie, Hu Junhe and others.
Lieutenant Colonel Ono, Colonel Nakajima and Lieutenant Colonel Shimada of the Marine Corps Command, Colonel Matsuda of the Thirteenth Army Headquarters, Katsuo Okaki of the Consulate General in Shanghai, Seimori Sakata and Lieutenant Colonel Okada of the Sugi Agency, these are
The first batch of middle-level Japanese troops to arrive.
Ling Xianwen, Director of the Social Affairs Bureau, Lu Ying, Director of the Police Department, and other heads of bureaus under the municipal government also arrived in advance. Chen Mingxiang is Chen Gongbo's favorite, so how would it be inappropriate for them to arrive later than the mayor?
In addition to the club's own staff, those who came to help include all members of the municipal government's external affairs liaison office, the captain and section chief of the inspection team, etc. All drivers are also on standby.
"Look at tonight's battle, Director Chen has become a big shot in the Shanghai stock market. We are not on the same level at all. Old Su, they all say that it is better to resolve enemies than to end them. It is better to find an opportunity to ask Director Li to come forward and resolve the former Liang Zi.
Come on, it’s actually not a big deal.” Yang Jie looked at the lively scene in the venue and said a little worriedly.
"Why am I willing to offend Director Chen? It's because he is petty and always holds on to me. When the matter in Shanghai District 1 is over, it is still unknown whether he can stay at the secret service headquarters. Isn't it just that he said the wrong thing? Is it true?
What loss did it cause him?"
"But you are right. He is backed by Chen Gongbo, the second-ranking figure in the Jinling government. Even if I break away from the secret service, I will not be able to escape from his clutches." Su Chengde said with some frustration.
He was too selfish in the process of arresting important figures in the Shanghai No. 1 District and did not report to the Special High School Class in accordance with the procedures. What is even more troublesome is that the arrested people were quickly rescued by the "Shanghai No. 1 District".
As soon as he came, he made a "principled" mistake and touched the bottom line of the special higher education course.
Nan Zao Yunzi had a lot of contact with him during this period. On the surface, the Special High School's treatment of him was to punish him and perform meritorious service to see the consequences, but in fact, the chance of staying at the secret service headquarters was slim, and it was not that there was no hope at all.
, but make a decision based on his performance.
If he is transferred to another department, there are actually two options, one is the military and the other is the police. The former is unlikely. He is a spy and knows nothing about the military. It is estimated that the probability of joining the police system is relatively high.
Chen Mingxiang was already blushing in front of Chen Gongbo. He held three positions and was promoted to Army Major General. If this problem was not resolved, Chen Mingxiang would be in trouble even in the police system. Chen Gongbo would deal with him like this
He is a little person, just saying something.
"Look, there are so many officers here, with high military ranks, both from the navy and the army. It's a rare surprise that these two families are actually on the same occasion. Director Chen's reputation is really big." Lin
Zhijiang said dumbfounded.
"The dancers here are the top names in major entertainment venues in Shanghai. Customers with no status or status will not pay attention to them. The cocktail party tonight is too high-end." Zhang Jinlu said.
There were already many people in the hall. With the help of Liu Nina and Ling Ji, Chen Mingxiang spent a lot of money to invite the most famous dancers in Shanghai to come and dance with them. Along with the music, some people had already started dancing.
Most of them are Japanese officers, and none of them have a rank lower than Lieutenant Colonel. Lin Shaozuo, the section chief of the Special Higher Education Course, is actually the most inconspicuous one.
When Chen Mingxiang sent out the invitation, he explained in advance that in addition to Jiangsu and Zhejiang cuisine and rice wine, Western food and red wine, the most important thing tonight is the most authentic Japanese food and sake.
Moreover, every dish is carefully prepared by Japanese chefs and is very expensive, especially the precious tuna sashimi, which is usually difficult to eat.
Of course, each of the main leaders of each organization received an invitation. The best thing was that he also sent invitations to the subordinate departments of these organizations, inviting the middle-level leaders to come to the cocktail party to taste the taste of their hometown.
Of course, these organizations that have received invitations will not bring in lower-level officers. Basically, they are officers above the rank of lieutenant-general or at the department level.
Wan Lilang looked at the scene in front of him, and the shock in his heart was simply indescribable. He had always had doubts about Chen Mingxiang, a heavyweight in the Shanghai stock market, and believed that this young man's identity was by no means simple, and that he might have some kind of mission.
But so far, he has not found any doubts, let alone evidence. This doubt also comes from his own professional experience, or to put it more bluntly, it is intuition.
Wan Lilang believed in his intuition that there must be something wrong with Chen Mingxiang, but due to the environment he was in, he did not take any further action.
If there was no evidence, let alone him, even Li Shiqun had no choice but to stop Chen Mingxiang, and it was Zhou Fahai who came to escort him.
Stepping into the cocktail party, Wan Lilang understood one thing. If he wanted to take measures against Chen Mingxiang, he would definitely not be able to do so in a short period of time. The opponent's current strength would make it difficult for him to keep going.
At half past seven, big shots from the Japanese military and city government came on stage one after another, as did big shots from the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the concession administration.
Nanzo Yunzi, who was standing at the door to greet the guests, kept bowing and led the generals with shining gold stars on their collars to the reception. He couldn't help but feel cold in his heart.
The reception held for the establishment of the Municipal Government's External Affairs Liaison Office was purely official, and involved the Japanese military's support for the Jinling government.
But this time it was Chen Mingxiang's private reception, and seven or eight Japanese generals were present. This shows how much the Japanese forces stationed in Shanghai valued Chen Mingxiang!
What followed was huge invisible pressure on her. Like Wan Lilang, she had always been skeptical about Chen Mingxiang's identity. Although she had taken several covert actions to no avail, she still could not completely dispel her idea.
.
"The main senior officials of the Mei Agency, the Army Provincial Secret Service in Shanghai, the Military Police Headquarters, the Marine Corps Headquarters, the Municipal Government, the Japanese Consulate General in Shanghai, the Board of Directors of the Concession Industry Bureau and senior police officers, the Thirteenth Army Headquarters and
The Third Fleet Headquarters, and the Central China Liaison Department of Xingya Academy."
"Six major generals and one lieutenant general. Such a lineup is simply despairing. Yunzi, you'd better put away your unfounded speculations for the time being. How are you going to fight Chen Mingxiang? It's good if he doesn't cause trouble for you!" Lin
