When Chen Lei took Sun Chenglin out of the Hawker Bakery, he told the others that he would give Sun Chenglin a secret mission to carry out, and did not tell the others that Zhang Lincheng secretly left Shanghai Tang and might never come back.

After returning from the airport in the Shanghai Public Concession, Chen Lei called another rickshaw and went to the modern clothing store on Nanjing Road in the Public Concession.

As soon as he entered the store, Chen Lei was warmly welcomed by the clerk A Xiu, and hurriedly stepped forward to ask: "Mr. Chen, welcome!" Are you here to buy clothes, or do you have something to do with our boss Liu? ”

After listening to Ah Xiu's inquiry, Chen Lei replied without thinking: "I came here today, not only to buy clothes, but also to find you Boss Liu for something, both of both." ”

When Chen Lei finished answering, Ah Xiu asked again: "Mr. Chen, do you want to take a look at the clothes here first, or go to our boss Liu to talk about things first?" ”

What made Chen Lei curious was how the little girl in front of him, who looked like she was only seventeen or eighteen years old, had the spirit of breaking the casserole and asking the end, and she had to ask for a result.

After breathing a long sigh of relief, Chen Lei replied: "Miss Axiu, I came to your store to buy clothes, I wanted your Boss Liu to tailor-made, so naturally I want to see you Boss Liu first!" ”

It was only at this time that Ah Xiu stopped on the road of questioning, and instead said: "Okay, Mr. Chen, our Boss Liu is in the studio in the middle, he usually doesn't let me get close, if you have something to do with him, go over by yourself." ”

After saying goodbye to Ah Xiu, Chen Lei strode over, stood in front of the studio with the door closed, first knocked on the door twice, and then said: "Brother slut, I'm Chen Lei, I have something to do with you, you quickly open the door and let me go in to talk to you." ”

As soon as Chen Lei's voice fell, he heard a "squeak", the door opened from the inside, Liu Jianren made a "please" gesture, and said very politely: "Brother Chen, I happen to have something to look for you, hurry up and come in to talk." ”

When Chen Lei walked into the studio, Liu Jianren walked out, he came to Ah Xiu, and instructed: "Ah Xiu, I will talk to Mr. Chen about some things in the studio, during this period, if a guest comes to me to make clothes, or other things, I will tell the guest that I am not there, and let you convey it on your behalf." ”

Regarding Liu Jianren's order, Ah Xiu nodded blankly and replied, "Okay, boss, I wrote it down." ”

After telling Ah Xiu, Liu Jianren turned around and returned to the studio, locked the door from the inside, and took Chen Lei to open the mechanism on one side of the wall, and entered the dark room separated by a wall.

"Team Leader Chen, Deputy Director Dai of the Military Command Bureau sent a commendation telegram an hour ago, you can take it and take a look!" Entering the dark room, Liu Jianren handed over a translated telegram to Chen Lei's hand and said expressionlessly.

It stands to reason that since the commendation telegram was sent from Shancheng, Liu Jianren should be happy, how could he still be expressionless, which made Chen Lei feel a little strange.

After Chen Lei took the telegram and read the contents of the telegram at a glance, he felt that Liu Jianren couldn't blame him for not being happy about it, and if it was him, he wouldn't be happy.

Because in the text of the commendation telegram sent by Boss Dai, only the international intelligence team of the Shanghai Station of the Military Command, as well as Chen Lei, the team leader, and Sun Chenglin, a member of the team, were commended.

Chen Lei, the head of the international intelligence team of the Shanghai Station of the Military Command, was awarded the Order of Baoding of the First Class and rewarded with 10,000 yuan; Sun Chenglin, a member of the International Intelligence Group of the Shanghai Station of the Military Command, was awarded the Order of Baoding of the second class, and was rewarded with 5,000 yuan, and was promoted from captain to major; The other members of the international intelligence team of the Shanghai Station of the Military Command awarded the Order of Baoding of the third class, and each of them was rewarded with 500 yuan.

As for Liu Jianren, deputy head of the Third Action Group of the Shanghai Station of the Central Union, there was no mention in this telegram of commendation, saying that Liu Jianren's contribution to the task of blowing up the munitions depot of the Japanese Navy Headquarters in Shanghai was almost exactly the same as that of Sun Chenglin.

It stands to reason that Liu Jianren should also be awarded the Order of Baoding of the second class, rewarded with 5,000 yuan, promoted to one level in military rank, and promoted from the current major to lieutenant colonel, but on the commendation telegram, Boss Dai didn't even say a word of thanks to Liu Jianren, how could he not make Liu Jianren feel angry.

"Brother slut, the commendation telegram sent by Boss Dai did not mention your name, is it because the telegram sent to Shancheng did not pay more attention to your own contribution after you and Sun Chenglin carried out the task of blowing up the arms warehouse the night before yesterday?" Chen Lei felt that Liu Jianren's name should not be absent from this commendation telegram, so he asked Liu Jianren in confusion.

Before carrying out the task of blowing up the munitions depot, Chen Lei instructed Liu Jianren in advance that after he returned to the modern clothing store safely after carrying out the mission, he should immediately send a telegram to Director Chen of the General Administration of Central Statistics in Shancheng and Deputy Director Dai of the General Administration of Military Command, and he must truthfully explain his role in this mission in the content of the telegram.

When Chen Lei finished his inquiry, Liu Jianren sighed and replied: "Team Leader Chen, after I finished my mission the night before yesterday, I first sent a telegram to Director Chen when I returned to the store, reporting to him about the bombing of the Japanese Navy Headquarters' munitions depot and asking Director Chen for instructions. Director Chen's reply to me was that in the telegram sent to Deputy Director Dai of the Military Command, I was not allowed to mention Liu Jianren's contribution to the mission in this operation.

"At the beginning, I naively thought that Director Chen would communicate with Deputy Director Dai. As a result, because I didn't mention it, Deputy Director Dai didn't reward me, and Director Chen didn't call me back. Now, I don't take the initiative to send a telegram to Director Chen or Deputy Director Dai about the award, right? Doesn't that seem like I'm very utilitarian, and I can't afford to lose that man. ”

Later, Chen Lei learned that Director Chen of the Central Command and Deputy Director Dai of the Military Command had received telegrams from Liu Jianren respectively, and they both used this to ask for credit in front of the president, and they both refused to give in to each other, insisting that it was their own people lurking in Shanghai who blew up the Japanese naval headquarters munitions depot in Shanghai.

After a day's investigation, according to the news content reported by the major newspapers in Shanghai, it was pointed out that the person who blew up the munitions depot was a military commander agent lurking in Shanghai.

Originally, this was a very good example of cooperation between the Central Command and the Military Command, but because of the open and secret struggle between Director Chen of the Central Command and Director Dai of the Military Command, Liu Jianren, who should have been commended, did not even have a word of praise in the end.

Seeing that Liu Jianren was unwilling and didn't want to be like Shancheng to ask about this matter, Chen Lei said quite generously in order to appease him: "Brother slut, you think this is good, I will give you the 10,000 oceans that I rewarded me with, so you should have a better balance in your heart." ”

To say, Liu Jianren, since he joined the Central Union, his only advantage is that he is not close to women, of course, his two major preferences are promotion and wealth, when he learned that Chen Lei was going to give away 10,000 yuan of ocean, his mood just now was still very low, and now he is immediately much more comfortable.

Seeing that Liu Jianren's mood had obviously improved a lot, Chen Lei struck while the iron was hot and instructed him: "Brother slut, you can now help me send a telegram to Deputy Director Dai of the General Administration of Military Command." I just paid you 10,000 yuan, and since you have taken the money, you can do more things for me. ”
