Unconsciously, it was twelve o'clock at noon, although Liu Jianren was a little depressed because he did not reward him from Shancheng, but Chen Lei promised to give him 10,000 yuan of ocean to reward him, which made him feel much more comfortable.

After sending a telegram for Chen Lei to the General Administration of Military Command that Sun Chenglin was transferred to Hong Kong by plane and withdrawn to the mountain city, Liu Jianren said quite generously: "Team Leader Chen, for the sake of the 10,000 yuan bonus you gave me, at noon today, I will invite you to dinner, I wonder if Team Leader Chen appreciates his face?" ”

To tell the truth, since the fall of Shanghai Beach and the occupation by the Japanese, the Fifth Action Group of Zhongtong Shanghai Station has begun to go underground and lurk, and Chen Lei, as the team leader, has not yet had dinner with Liu Jianren, who is the deputy team leader.

In the past, Chen Lei had not yet taken the line of Iwai Ichiro, if the two of them showed up to eat together, in case a traitor betrayed the two of them, and the Japanese and Wang puppet spies sent people to capture the two of them together, then the Fifth Action Group of the Central Command Shanghai Station would have to be wiped out.

But now it is different, Chen Lei's current identity to the outside world is the Chinese assistant of the Japanese deputy consul general in Shanghai, Iwai Ichiro, and in the eyes of many Japanese mirror agencies and Wang pseudo-spies in the team, he is the deputy director of the Special Investigation Institute (Iwai Mansion), and no one dares to touch him easily.

As for Chen Lei's identity as both a central and a military commander, the Japanese intelligence agencies and Wang's puppet spies now know that even if Liu Jianren is exposed, it will not attract the attention of outsiders.

What's more, Liu Jianren was already a little unhappy because he was not rewarded, and in the face of Liu Jianren's invitation to have lunch together, he didn't think too much, so he happily agreed: "Okay, slut brother, let's have lunch together at noon today." You took 10,000 yuan from me now, and I have to slaughter you well. ”

After walking out of the studio, Chen Lei saw Ah Xiu, the clerk in the front hall, he stopped, and proposed to Liu Jianren, who was following from behind: "What, at noon today, since the slut brother wants to have a big meal, why don't you bring your clerk Ah Xiu with you, I think this girl is a good material." ”

Speaking of this, Chen Lei suddenly remembered something, so he leaned in front of Liu Jianren, and whispered in his ear: "After a while, I will recruit some personnel for the Iwai Mansion, and when the time comes, I will also ask the slut brother to agree to release the people, let Ah Xiu work in the Iwai Mansion, and she will be responsible for the liaison between the two of us in the future." I don't know what the slut brother, what do you think? ”

After listening to Chen Lei's proposal, it really gave Liu Jianren a big jump to Xia, the clerk he recruited, Ah Xiu, had only come to his store for about a week, and he had not yet had an in-depth understanding of Ah Xiu's personal and family situation, so Chen Lei planned to recruit Ah Xiu to join the fifth action group of their military command Shanghai Station, which was really too hasty.

Liu Jianren, who was quite shocked by this, after calming down, attached himself to Chen Lei's ear and persuaded him softly: "Team Leader Chen, are you in the water in your brain!" Ah Xiucai has only been working in my shop for about a week, he is only 17 years old this year, and he only has a junior high school diploma. As for his personal and family situation, we still don't know anything about it.

"Under such circumstances, how can we recruit him so quickly to join the fifth action group of our Zhongtong Shanghai Station. As the deputy leader, I strongly oppose it, and I firmly disagree with the current recruitment of Ah Xiu into the Fifth Action Group of our Army's Central Command Shanghai Station. Besides, Ah Xiu has no special skills, and if he joins us, he can only be a burden and a burden. If we want to recruit a girl to join, we must at least find someone with a specialty. ”

Seeing that Liu Jianren's opposition was extremely strong, Chen Lei did not flinch, and said very resolutely: "Brother slut, you can't recruit others to join according to the old standards of our previous Central Union. You said that Ah Xiu has no specialty, and I strongly disagree. Ah Xiu has an extremely simple and noble quality, that is, honesty and kindness, which is extremely important for a Zhongtong agent lurking in the occupied area.

"I met Ah Xiu only three times in your clothing store, and she made a very deep impression on me. When she sells clothes to customers, she doesn't recommend them to buy the most expensive ones, but they buy the right ones, which attracts many repeat customers for your clothing store. Besides, you give him several pieces of ocean to give her a day off, and she only takes two pieces of ocean.

"Also, when I entered the store today, Ah Xiu asked me very seriously and carefully, which shows that she is still very cautious and cautious. Her energy to break the casserole and ask the question is very commendable. So, in a few days, I have made up my mind to let Ah Xiu work beside me. If you continue to oppose him joining the Fifth Action Group of our Zhongtong Shanghai Station, then I will let her be my personal assistant, and then it will be okay. ”

Seeing that Chen Lei had said everything to this point, Liu Jianren felt that even if he tried hard to persuade him, Chen Lei might not change his mind.

"Team Leader Chen, since none of us can convince anyone. Okay, wait, let's ask Ah Xiu and let her decide for herself, whether to stay and work in my clothing store or go with you to be a personal assistant. Liu Jianren's mood had already improved, but now he was a little angry because of Chen Lei's absorption of Ah Xiu, so he had to resort to this last trick and let Ah Xiu make a choice between the two of them.

So, Chen Lei and Liu Jianren strode to the front hall of the clothing store, standing side by side in front of Ah Xiu, Ah Xiu, who had just sent off a guest, saw Chen Lei and Liu Jianren like this, which made her like a frightened bird, and she was so frightened that she hurriedly took two steps back.

Liu ...... Boss, Chen ...... Mr. Chen, you ...... What are you two doing here? After taking two steps back, Ah Xiu, who was surprised, asked hesitantly.

After Ah Xiu's inquiry, Liu Jianren did not hide it at all, so he went straight to the point and said: "Ah Xiu, Mr. Chen wants to let you go to his place of work as a personal assistant in a few days, do you go or not?" ”

Without waiting for Ah Xiu to answer Liu Jianren's question, Chen Lei immediately preemptively seduced and said, "Ah Xiu girl, things are like this month. I work in a building on Baoshan Road in Zhabei area, and in a few days we are going to open a newspaper, and I think you have a good personal image and conditions, and you are so young, I want you to be my assistant, with an independent desk, and I can get a salary of 20 yuan a month, and I can also take care of food and housing......"

Without waiting for Chen Lei to finish speaking, Ah Xiu, who was a little fascinated by what he heard, immediately lit up his eyes, interrupted Chen Lei and nodded in agreement: "Mr. Chen, the working conditions are so good, the salary is so high, and you don't have to worry about food and accommodation." Mr. Chen, don't say it, I'll go, I want to go now! ”
