In this world, whether it is self-proclaimed justice or evil that many people accuse, the power of money will not favor either side.
Having money means that someone has guns, aircraft and cannons. If you don't have money, you can only go to the mountains to fight guerrillas with old sleeves made in Hanyang.
This was true during the Anti-Japanese War, and it has never changed today.
The top leaders of the Kuomintang understood the truth well. Even though they were devastated by the financial chaos, they still spared no effort to fully support the latent plan after the war.
As the top officer of the Yanjin latent organization, Cui Duo has the convenience of being close to the water. He can easily receive a financial subsidy by submitting a training plan.
As long as a small part of it is taken out, for an individual, it is a considerable amount, equivalent to the expenses of an average family for one or two years.
Cui Duo had already made plans in his mind. The lurking mission was extremely dangerous and he could be arrested anytime and anywhere.
Under such circumstances, if I lived like an ascetic, I would really be sorry for the devil even if I died.
He has no other hobbies except women.
When he was training in Shanghai, under the nose of Boss Dai, Cui Duo didn't change his ambition to look for flowers and ask Liu, let alone when he had the final say.
Even so, he didn't dare to look for just any woman. If his identity was exposed, the gain would outweigh the loss.
Yu Li had almost no friends in Yanjin. She usually lived alone and rarely had contact with strangers. This was one of the reasons why Cui Duo chose her.
…………
evening.
Cui Duo came to Yu Li's house carrying a food box and a bottle of bamboo leaf green wine.
He put the food box on the dining table and said while taking off his coat: "Lily, come have a drink with me later and I bought your favorite Laohui sauce beef."
In addition to the beef in sauce, there is also half a roast duck, pan-fried yellow croaker, stir-fried green shrimps, and a plate of fried peanuts.
Yu Li asked: "Why are you so happy today?"
"Oh, we just made a deal." Cui Duo said casually.
"What business is this?"
"...the cotton business."
"You are really capable."
"My ability is not just business, as you know..." Cui Duo chuckled.
"I'm already drunk before I drink." Yu Li rolled her eyes at him.
Looking at the carefully dressed Yu Li, Cui Duo felt more and more itchy as he looked at her. He couldn't help but walked over, his hands ready to move.
"Don't make trouble, let's eat first." Yu Li said, pretending to be angry.
As he spoke, he turned to the kitchen to get wine glasses, bowls and chopsticks, and placed the food on the table one by one.
Cui Duo pulled up the chair and sat down, unscrewed the cap of the bamboo leaf green wine bottle, poured himself a glass, and poured a glass for Yu Li, and said with a smile: "You have tidied yourself up so beautifully...how did you know that I am coming today?"
Yu Li said: "I haven't seen anyone for more than ten days, so I guess it's time to come."
"I've been busy with business recently, otherwise I would have come to see you..." Cui Duo picked up the wine glass and took a sip. After a sip, he praised: "Good wine!"
Yu Li also sat down, hesitated for a while, and said hesitantly: "There is something I want to ask you for help..."
"Tell me, what's the matter?"
"I...I want to borrow some money."
"Borrow money?"
"Um."
"What are you borrowing money for?"
"I got a letter from home. My younger brother is going to get married at the end of the year. There will definitely be no room for him at home. I have to buy a house. After buying the house, I have to clean it up and spend money everywhere..." Yu Li prepared the reasons in advance.
"How much do you want to borrow?" Cui Duo stretched out his chopsticks, picked up a peanut and threw it into his mouth.
Yu Li said: "Ten thousand yuan."
She then added: "I can write you an IOU, and you will definitely pay it back in the future."
Cui Duo raised his eyebrows: "Ten thousand yuan?"
Yu Li said: "Well, it's best to have equivalent U.S. dollars."
Due to the intervention of the government's laws, the gold yuan bonds are currently relatively strong. According to the bank's official foreign exchange rate, 10,000 yuan is equivalent to 850 US dollars.
At the current price level, this amount of money is not a small amount for anyone.
Cui Duo smiled: "Lily, do you know that the government prohibits private holding of foreign exchange. If you are caught, you will go to jail!"
Yu Li whispered: "You are so capable, how could you be caught..."
Nowadays, rich people have more or less private collections of gold, silver, foreign exchange and other hard currencies at home. Although the issuance of gold yuan bonds seems to be going smoothly, in today's turbulent situation, who can predict its future fate?
In Cui Duo's eyes, a woman like Li is nothing more than a tool to vent his feelings. How could he possibly lend her such a large sum of money?
As Tong Tong said, it is useless even if Yu Li writes an IOU. People who are like duckweeds without roots may never see each other again in the next minute.
Cui Duo picked up the wine glass and said with a smile: "Let's figure this out slowly. Come on, Lily, drink a few more glasses with me today. Authentic bamboo leaf green wine is not common in Yanjin."
Yu Li knew that every time Cui Duo said, "We'll figure it out slowly," he actually meant that he didn't want to worry about it. The two had known each other for so long, and their temperaments and temperaments were somewhat understood.
After a while, a cry came from the street: "Roasted chestnuts with sugar, hot roasted chestnuts with sugar."
Yu Li's eyes flashed, and she said softly: "I want to eat roasted chestnuts with sugar candies, can you buy them for me?"
Cui Duo said: "There are so many good dishes, not enough for you to eat?"
"I just want to eat." Yu Li took Cui Duo's arm and shook it gently.
"Okay, okay, I'll buy it." Cui Duo stood up and walked out.
Hearing the sound of the door closing, Yu Li immediately took out a paper bag from her arms, which contained some white powder.
She hesitated for a moment, carefully poured it into Cui Duo's cup, and then stirred it a few times with chopsticks until the powder was completely dissolved in the wine.
After doing all this, Yu Li calmed down for a while and murmured to herself: "You are ruthless to me, so don't blame me for being unjust to you..."
A few minutes later, Cui Duo walked in with a paper bag filled with chestnuts and said, "It's still warm. Eat it while it's hot."
Yu Li pretended to be happy, peeled a chestnut and put it in her mouth, saying, "Well, it's really delicious."
"Shall we have a drink?"
"Okay, cheers!"
Watching Cui Duo drink the wine in one gulp, Yu Li secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
…………
After struggling to the point of exhaustion, Cui Duo felt like his eyelids were fighting. He thought about taking a break, but soon after closing his eyes, he began to snore.
Yu Li sat up and called softly: "Cui Duo? Cui Duo?"
Cui Duo had no reaction.
There is a chair on the other side of the bed, with Cui Duo's underwear and outerwear draped on it.
With Cui Duo's vigilance, Yu Li did not dare to touch his things even when she was asleep.
It's different today. The white powder Cui Duo drank is a sleeping pill that can make people sleep for more than five or six hours...
