After breakfast, Zheng Yi rushed to the Huafeng Trading Company above the Kowloon Wharf again, and found that Cao Mancheng, Song Ziqing and others had moved out, and only the dazed and confused Lai Dingbang and his wife remained in the company. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Facing Lai Dingbang and his wife, who both came forward, Zheng Yi did not show negative emotions on his face, looked at it and joked with a smile: "Look at the faces of the two of you, you must have not slept well last night, are you not used to the water and soil?" ”

Lai Dingbang followed Zheng Yi to the desk and sat down, and asked anxiously: "Boss, why don't Lao Cao and Xiao Song work with us anymore?" ”

Zheng Yi whispered thanks to Mrs. Lai, who brought the tea, motioned for her to sit down too, and then explained unhurriedly: "According to the instructions of the central government, the intelligence system is undergoing a major adjustment, and the Hong Kong liaison office in charge of Lao Cao has been merged with the Hong Kong intelligence station, and is directly under the jurisdiction of the Central Military Commission (zhongyangjunshiweiyuanhui), which has a high degree of independence and concealment, so as to carry out its work better." ”

"And I, like the two of you, have been assigned to the work of the Quartermaster Department directly under the Military (Junwei) Commission, and according to the order of the Central Committee, I will be the head of the Quartermaster Department, so in order to support our work, the intelligence station will transfer this company closest to the dock and located in the import and export trade zone to us, and you two and I will work in this place in the future."

Lai Dingbang's eyes widened and he asked in disbelief, "Is this...... How is this possible? ”

"How is it impossible? This is the need of revolutionary work, and you will not be reluctant to leave the intelligence system, right? Zheng Yi asked with a smile.

Lai Dingbang stood up excitedly and shook his head again and again: "Old ...... Boss, this ...... It's too sudden, isn't it? It doesn't matter if I leave the intelligence system, I've been mentally prepared for this after being arrested, but you're different! You are a general who led the army to fight, and you are a meritorious man who participated in the Nanchang Uprising and the Autumn Harvest Uprising, so isn't it nonsense that you left the army and went to Hong Kong to take charge of military logistics? ”

Zheng Yi solemnly admonished: "Comrade Lai Dingbang, don't forget the party's organizational discipline!" As long as it is needed by the revolution, where is not work? You are also an excellent party member from a tutor, and the oath of joining the party must not be forgotten for a moment! ”

Lai Dingbang hurriedly distinguished: "I didn't mean that, I ......"

"Stop!"

Zheng Yi didn't give Lai Dingbang a chance to explain at all, he had to let Lai Dingbang have a correct attitude: "I won't tell you the truth, you also know that modern warfare is about military logistics, to put it bluntly, it's about money!" ”

"What to take with no money to go to war? How to start a revolution without money? Shouting with your mouth or by desperately? You are a local party member who joined the instructor in Fuzhou after the Nanchang Uprising, and you have experienced the Guangchang Breakout, the Battle of Chaling and other vicious battles together, so you should know the importance of military logistics. ”

"As far as the Huhai Intelligence Station where you used to be is concerned, is your money money? Where did you get your radio? Every step is money! Do you understand? ”

"I don't understand!"

Lai Dingbang replied angrily.

Zheng Yi laughed: "It's okay if you don't understand, anyway, there will be time for you to understand in the future......"

"That's it! The two of you go upstairs to pack your luggage, move to my new home first, and then I will take you two to the hospital for a check-up, the child is more important than anything else! ”

"This place is temporarily closed, and in two days we will ask a construction team to come and renovate it, and then open it when the renovation is complete...... What are you still doing? Hurry up and clean up! ”

……

……

The day after Mr. and Mrs. Lai moved into No. 33 Baode Street, Zheng Yi and Liu Yu officially moved in, and the empty two-and-a-half-story villa and small garden finally came to life.

Subsequently, Zheng Yi and Lai Dingbang and his wife carried sumptuous gifts to the Xu family compound next to the University of Hong Kong to meet the long-lost Xu father and Xu mother's family.

The surprised Xu's father and mother hugged their godson Zheng Yi, burst into tears, and alarmed more than a dozen villagers in the entire compound, and finally pulled Zheng Yi's little couple and Lai Dingbang and his wife to prevent them from leaving, killing chickens and geese, and drinking freely, which lasted until late at night, and Xu's father and mother sent Zheng Yi and Lai Dingbang to their residence on Baode Street, and saw it with their own eyes up and down, so that they believed that Zheng Yi really moved to Hong Kong to settle down.

At nine o'clock in the morning the next day, Xu's father and mother sent a middle-aged couple from Huangzhou and one of their children to Zheng Yi's house to work as servants.

Zheng Yi was very satisfied when he saw the honest family of four, and learned that the servant's nine-year-old girl and seven-year-old boy, like the children of more than 30 Huangzhou villagers, entered the church school diagonally opposite the Xu family compound with the financial support of Xu Maofu.

After everything was settled, the Portuguese passports of Zheng Yi and Lai Dingbang were also issued, and Lai Dingbang and his wife still used their original names, and Zheng Yi's passport name was changed to Zheng Paul, his age was changed to 28 years old, and his address was No. 49, Corria Koening, Macau.

Zheng Yi called his father Zheng Lanting to find out that No. 49 Gao Kening Street is the property of the He family, and next to it is the well-known Xiwan Club in Hong Kong and Macao.

Considering that there were still more than ten years before the Japanese occupation of Hong Kong, Zheng Yi put this idea aside for the time being, and waited for the future to have time to visit Macau in person and take a look before making a decision.

Zheng Yi's villa is very spacious, there are two sets of guest rooms for a family of four living downstairs, and there is a master bedroom and two small rooms on the east and west sides of the small living room upstairs, which is enough for Zheng Yi and Lai Dingbang and his wife to live.

Liu Yu is very satisfied with his new job, the monthly salary is twice as high as in the Shanghai Oriental News Agency, there is a driver to pick up and drop off every morning and evening, and he can be with the man he loves when he returns home, and he follows Zheng Yi to the Xu family compound every three or five times, and has a meal with his godfather and godmother, and talks, and the small life is very fulfilling.

After Lai Dingbang knew that he could not change the current status quo, he simply opened his heart and accompanied his wife with a big belly, and every day he either took a walk in the small courtyard, basking in the sun, or learning English hard in his room, and lived a leisurely and happy life.

A week after moving into his new home, Xu still hasn't returned to Hong Kong, and Cheng has persuaded two British shareholders of Swire Shipyard and HSBC to start renovating the shipyard's processing shop.

Swire Shipyard purchased a complete rifle production line and more than a dozen semi-new and used machine tools from a bankrupt arsenal in Birmingham, England at a very low price, and ordered plate cutting machines, punching presses, crimping machines and other equipment for the production of steel helmets from Armstrong Machinery Company in India.
