"Here, Xiaopeng, take it. According to our custom, on the first day of the new year, you come to me to pay New Year's greetings, and I will give you New Year's money!" Chen Mingxiang took out a large envelope wrapped in red paper from the safe in the study.
Twenty oceans weighs a little more than one kilogram, and the ocean standard is 26.8 grams. There is also a hundred oceans, which weighs five kilograms, making it inconvenient to use.
"Although you are all adults, you can't go back empty-handed. Twenty yuan per person is a red envelope. The currency is depreciating faster and faster, and the ocean is starting to raise its head again. Don't save legal currency if you have money." Chen Mingxiang gave Li Zhendong and Xue
Lin has twenty yuan in French currency per person.
Hearing that this family was actually rescued by Chen Mingxiang, Lu Kunyu had a different feeling in his heart. The senior brother had not changed and always maintained a kind heart, but he did not want others to know.
"Sir, I can be active after the New Year. Please arrange an errand for me and Xue Lin. Our whole family cannot receive your favor in vain!" Li Zhendong said.
For a person like him, it is very uncomfortable to take money and not work, not to mention that Chen Mingxiang gave him not only money, but also a temporary home.
"Find a few trustworthy friends and brothers to work in the transportation team of Huatong Trading Company. They will be responsible for delivering goods to customers, and also help me collect some goods, such as grain, cotton, cotton yarn, bristles, tea, coal, etc., cars
You can't come back empty-handed, that would be too wasteful."
"As for Xue Lin, the pharmacies and clinics are open for business, and I didn't hire a cashier. I just want to give you a place and buy you a bicycle after the Chinese New Year to run back and forth." Chen Mingxiang said.
"Uncle, I can also work, please give me a job too!" Xue Xiaopeng said.
"You are smart. You will still be selling newspapers on the streets in the future. Uncle Chen's job is not easy to do. There are people watching everywhere. Just hang around my house and company and find a few more clever newsboys. I will give them to you every day."
Two cents each for you."
"Remember, even if you see someone following me or probing around my home or company, you don't have to point it out. Just tell me secretly. I'll give you thirty yuan a month." Chen Mingxiang said with a smile.
Being an agent is the most dangerous profession. Being careful is like walking on thin ice, and you may be exposed at any time. If you don't expose yourself, someone in your department may betray you, and you may be exposed.
Chen Mingxiang was worried that someone at the Secret Service Headquarters or the Special High School would doubt him and secretly monitor him, so he thought of using Xue Xiaopeng's group of newsboys as his daily eyes and ears.
It is difficult for the enemy to imagine that he would adopt such a method to deal with it. As long as he persists for a long time, he will surely gain something. If he walks too much at night, he will eventually bump into a ghost.
Chen Mingxiang had no airs, so Li Zhendong and his family stayed here to make dumplings, which made the atmosphere at home livelier, and they even had two drinks at noon.
"What a beautiful garden villa. What do you mean, this will be our new home from now on?" After dinner, with nothing to do, Chen Mingxiang took Lu Kunyu to the new home to have a look.
This is a typical European-style building, with floor-to-ceiling glass windows, floral sofas and golden chandeliers, red wooden floors, and fireplaces, giving people an exotic feeling, and Lu Kunyu likes it very much.
"This is the house robbed by the Military Police Headquarters. It originally belonged to a high-ranking official in the mountain city, but no one has ever lived in it. It is full of dust. In two days, I will find someone to clean it, replace some bedroom furniture, and tidy up the garden. You
You can move here and live with me."
"Actually, there is also a garden house, which is only four or five miles away from here. The two of us don't need it right now, so let's leave it idle for the time being. Having too many houses is also a problem." Chen Mingxiang said with a smile.
"It's not appropriate for a grown man like you to worry about this kind of thing. I will be responsible for cleaning the house. The walls do not need to be repainted. The furniture and door and window glass must be disinfected and wiped clean. Remove the sofa covers and carpets and clean them all. Then
Let it air out for a few days."
"The curtains need to be changed to what I like. The bed can be kept, but the bedding must be replaced with new ones. The pots, pans, tea sets and wine sets also need to be replaced. Plus the scattered things, give me two
If it’s not enough, I’ll ask you for a thousand yuan. If it’s too much, I won’t give it back.” Lu Kunyu said.
"It's a pity that you can't stay at home. The environment in Shanghai is so chaotic and bad. I'm really worried about you." Chen Mingxiang said.
This was true. He was very worried about Lu Kunyu's safety. Both the Japanese and the traitors of the Wang Puppet Government took extremely harsh measures against the underground party, and the Concession Industry Bureau Police Department was not a good thing either.
What is even more serious is that the military commanders and central commanders of Lianshan City also seize the opportunity to kill the underground party, and the living environment is difficult.
Becoming an underground party is not terrible. Judging from Chen Mingxiang's professional quality, Lu Kunyu is too immature. She does not understand the fighting skills of underground work and may be in danger.
"Are you making a pun? I know you are doing it for my own good and are afraid that I will be in danger, but seeing the invaders doing all kinds of evil in Shanghai and seeing so many people dying miserably because of the war, some of them are still babies waiting to be fed.
, I just want to do something within my ability.”
"Brother, I remember that when you were at Fudan University, you were very brave and hated the invaders. On August 13, you and a group of classmates braved the hail of bullets and sent comfort gifts to the soldiers in the Anti-Japanese War. This proves that you
His heart is patriotic."
"Now that you are from the Secret Service Headquarters and have a close relationship with the Japanese Military Police Headquarters, you are about to become the translator of the inspection team that controls the entry and exit of materials in Shanghai. Why are you not willing to help your fellow countrymen?" Lu Kunyu thought that he had found a suitable conversation.
Chance.
"You are new to the world and don't understand these things. My current status is very sensitive, especially for the inspection team that is about to be established. That is an offending job. Everyone knows that materials are extremely tight during wartime. The price at this time is higher than
It usually doubles several times or ten times.”
"What does the inspection team do? It is to control the entry and exit of materials for the Gendarmerie Headquarters and not allow prohibited materials to flow to Kuomintang-controlled areas or base areas. If I relax inspections, the Gendarmerie Headquarters will be unhappy. Don't look at me wearing multiple hats. The Japanese say I
There is nothing left.”
"If I strictly inspect, who are the people who dare to smuggle into the Kuomintang-controlled areas? How many of the city government, police stations, secret service headquarters, gang leaders and even the military in Shanghai dare to offend them?"
"The rules of the game have been set. I can't do things outside of this circle. If I can't protect myself, how can I protect you? If you can understand this sentence, you may become truly mature. Otherwise, don't mention it again.
