- “Chen Jun, it’s rare to have so many imperial generals from outside China and North China come to support you. Would you like to arrange a cocktail reception at the club tonight to adjust the atmosphere and ask everyone to relax?”
"It seems that since the Chinese New Year, the entire Shanghai city has not held any leisure activities. There are still more than four hours. I should be able to make time to invite some backup dancers with relatively good dancing skills." Kinoshita Eichi called Chen Mingxiang aside and said.
.
Chen Mingxiang likes to hold cocktail parties, which is also a way to deepen connections. However, after the New Year, the Japanese army did not have any "good news". Either the battle failed or the naval general sacrificed his life for the emperor. He held a crappy cocktail party. This is not what he gave.
You're looking for trouble yourself!
"No problem, I will go back to the Foreign Affairs Office to make arrangements in person right away. It was my inconsideration. Thank you General for the reminder. The time is very flexible and the preparations can be completed in two hours at most." Chen Mingxiang said.
The group of people from the Foreign Affairs Office have been idle in the office all day with nothing to do, and they are all veterans who have participated in many reception preparations. It is estimated that they can get it all done in an hour.
Chen Mingxiang returned to the office of the Foreign Affairs Office and first called Ling Ji and asked her to find twenty of the best backup dancers in Shanghai. It was not that he had no conscience, but the current environment was like this. He really thought that these backup dancers were in the ballroom.
Don't you dance with the traitors and spies in the nightclub?
"These Japanese generals won't show their bestiality and bully my sisters, right?" Renji asked.
She naturally knows which of the backup dancers in Shanghai are pretty, understand foreign languages, and have high dancing skills, but it is really worrying for such a girl to face a group of beasts.
"I understand your worries. First of all, I will ask the Foreign Affairs Office to quickly prepare signs for them and become club staff. This will have a layer of protection. However, they will never be allowed to flaunt in the name of the club. Only in the name of the club.
It can only be used when holding a cocktail party, and you can also use it if you encounter harassment."
"Secondly, are those ruffians or traitorous Japanese soldiers you are attending the cocktail party for? Among these Japanese soldiers, the lowest ranking officer is also a colonel. No matter how shameless they are behind the scenes, at least they have to show their face in a public place like a cocktail party.
There are also government officials and businessmen, so they are absolutely safe at the reception."
"As for the treatment, you tell them that each of them will get a small yellow croaker. It doesn't matter whether they can speak Japanese or not. Most of these are people from the intelligence agency. They can speak Chinese very fluently, but their dancing skills must be strong enough. If I make a fool of myself, I will
Looking for trouble." Chen Mingxiang said.
The Japanese have always been both bitches and arrogants, saying one thing and doing another in countless ways, but it is because of this that these senior generals will not mess around in public.
Following Chen Mingxiang's order, the entire Foreign Affairs Office was running nervously and in an orderly manner. Those who arranged the reception, those who were responsible for finding the band, lighting and electricity, those who found the chefs to buy vegetables and fruits, etc., whoever did the work had already been assigned
Division of labor.
Chen Mingxiang started making phone calls one by one. The municipal government naturally invited Chen Gongbo to participate, the secretary-general and the top leaders of each bureau, the directors of the Public Concession Industry Bureau and the French Concession Public Board, as well as the well-known traitors and speculators in the Shanghai business community.
, those in the financial sector like Pan Sansheng would be more lively when there are more people, but forget it in the navy.
Just when his mouth was dry, a phone call came in.
"Director Chen, please come back soon. Something big has happened. Director Li came to No. 76 and directly ordered an investigation into the Shanghai Office of the Statistics Department. He actually arrested Lin Zhijiang and said that he had connections with the underground party.
Provide supplies for the underground party," Zhang Jinlu said.
Every fool knows the real reason for arresting Lin Zhijiang, but the secret service headquarters is Li Shiqun's territory and no one can put his hand in. He can say whatever he wants.
In fact, it was not that Zhang Jinlu had a good relationship with Lin Zhijiang, but that the two of them were doing business together, and they were both traitors to the Military Command Bureau. If something happened to Lin Zhijiang, it would be inappropriate for her not to come forward to find a relationship.
For now, in order to fish out Lin Zhijiang, the guy who betrayed the Secret Service Headquarters, only Chen Mingxiang can do it in the Secret Service Headquarters. As long as he tries hard, Li Shiqun will not fail to give him face.
"This bastard, I told him not to get too close to Xiong Jiandong a long time ago, but he turned a deaf ear to my words. What, now he's in trouble? Where is he locked up?" Chen Mingxiang cursed.
.
"He was locked up in the detention center of our special agent headquarters, and he was not tortured, but Director Li gave Wang Ji'an an order not to allow anyone to visit him," Zhang Jinlu said.
"Don't worry, you won't be able to kill him for a while, go find a small restaurant and send someone to make some food for Lin Zhijiang. If Wang Ji'an asks, just say it's my intention, Director Li won't trouble him
.”
"There will be an important reception reception at the Bank of China Specialty Club at seven o'clock tonight. You will come and support me then. I will ask Director Li how he wants to deal with this thing." Chen Mingxiang hung up the phone.
This was exactly the result he wanted to see, and he had already thought about how Lin Zhijiang would die, but before taking action, he had to confirm what Li Shiqun was thinking.
Starting from five o'clock, the branch of the Bank of China was blocked by the Japanese military police. All the people from Huatong Trading Company got off work early and went home early. The residents inside were not allowed to move around freely. Truckloads of fruits, vegetables, chickens, ducks, and fish were delivered
Go to the kitchen.
Li Shiqun and his wife came very early, at six o'clock, but this time they were too pressed for time. They had to collect the invitations at the door and then go to the club to attend the cocktail party. The people responsible for issuing invitations according to the list were the Municipal Government Secretariat, the Foreign Affairs Office and the Consulate in Shanghai.
Special personnel dispatched by the Consulate General are supervised by the gendarmerie and check whether guests are carrying prohibited items.
The greeters standing at the gate were twenty beautiful girls wearing cheongsams and name tags. These were all backup dancers in entertainment venues in Shanghai, and they were definitely the best.
The welcoming guests on the steps included Ren Ji, Liu Nina, Zhang Jinlu, Shen Gengmei, He Zhuoxian, He Bingxian, Mo Guokang, Xia Danwei and Wu Ziying. It was also a very rare scene to see nine beauties. Xia Zhongming took the initiative to call Xia Danwei himself.
Help, the university's campus beauty, youthful, beautiful and radiant, is not inferior among this group of beauties.
Chen Mingxiang had been inspecting the preparation work in the club. When he heard that Li Shiqun and his wife were coming, he hurriedly came out and received them in the lobby.
"You must have heard about Lin Zhijiang, right? I heard that you were busy receiving distinguished guests, and I didn't say hello to you in advance this time. You won't blame me, right?" Li Shiqun said with a smile.
"The minister is out of touch when he says this. I am your subordinate at the secret service headquarters. Brothers belong to brothers and work belongs to work. These are two different things. Lin Zhijiang, this bastard, is really unsatisfactory. You didn't blame me for neglecting discipline.
I feel embarrassed on my face." Chen Mingxiang said.
