According to Chen Gongbo, it is equivalent to the foreign secretary of the municipal government during the Fu Xiao'an period, who is responsible for dealing with the consulates of various countries in Shanghai, the Ministry of Industry and other institutions in the concession.

The job depends on the mayor's trust, and the power comes from the influence of the mayor himself, not the added value of the position itself.

"I am going to set up a liaison office for foreign affairs of the municipal government, and all matters related to foreign countries in all subordinate bureaus, counties and district governments will be handled by the foreign affairs office when they are reported to the municipal government.

"On behalf of the mayor, the Foreign Affairs Office is responsible for the communication between the municipal government and the military and police in Shanghai, and all intelligence agencies and military agencies, including the police department and the secret service headquarters, are within your scope of work." Chen Gongbo didn't seem to know what he was thinking.

The powers of the Commissioner for Foreign Affairs are very general, and it can be said that there is no substantive power, but nothing more than coordination. However, Chen Mingxiang found that when it was actually operated, the gold content was very high, although Chen Gongbo had to be asked for instructions on major matters, and there was a lot of room for independent operation.

This is not a matter of oil and water, it is a bit difficult to make money, but in this capacity, he can contact the intelligence agencies of the Japanese army in a bright and bright way, so that he can collect intelligence by himself, and on the surface, he has to deal with these intelligence agencies, and the work needs it!

Just now, Chen Gongbo said that Jian Ren Guan, which refers to the official rank during the Republic of China, which is divided into four categories: special officials, simple officials, recommended officials, and appointed officials.

With the current structure of official positions, senior officials such as the premier, ministers, senior officials, and the mayor of Beijing, Shanghai and Hangzhou are specially appointed officials.

The deputy ministers of each ministry are vice ministers, directors, directors of provincial departments, mayors of prefectures and cities, and secretaries-general of the Beijing-Shanghai-Hangzhou government.

The positions of the minister's secretary of each ministry, the head and section chief of the section, the head of the district and the county head, and the director of the prefectural and municipal offices belong to the recommended officer and need to be reported to the Jinling government for approval, and the remaining low-level positions belong to the appointing officer, which only needs to be approved by the direct governor.

This kind of rank doesn't seem to mean much to Chen Mingxiang, what if he is given a special officer, he is a member of the Military Command Bureau, not a traitor of Wang's puppet government.

It is a big mistake to think so, if you want to mix the government in the Republic of China, the rank and seniority of officialdom are very important, take the Social Bureau as an example, the director Ling Xianwen is the recommended official, and when he encounters Chen Mingxiang, a simple official, he has no confidence in giving orders, and the director can't control the deputy director, which is a strict rule.

"Thanks to the favor of His Excellency the Mayor, Mingxiang can't ignore the promotion, does this position need to work in the city government?" Chen Mingxiang asked.

"The city government has two offices for you, and you come here for one day a week, and I approve you to find a place in the French Concession to open a separate government and build a house, and you can formulate all the establishments, and you can choose all the department staff, and you can apply for the funds, including all kinds of expenses for contacting the military and police commissions."

"Knowing that you don't have enough time to wear multiple hats, you can set up a secretary office to help you organize information and send it to you for approval." Chen Gongbo said.

Ah, it turns out that the mystery of the matter is here!

Although the functions of the Foreign Affairs Office do not have much oil and water, Chen Gongbo, as the mayor, can make up for it through the Municipal Finance Bureau, and it is not Chen Mingxiang's decision on how much it costs, who dares to express a different opinion on this?

I'll just say, Chen Gongbo, an old and cunning traitor, can't do things so unreliable, and it is unreasonable not to give some benefits after receiving so much money and goods from himself.

"Your Excellency Mayor, the two ladies are both talented and good-looking, they are the ladies of famous families in Shanghai, it is a pity to stay at home all the time, can you go to the secretary office of the Foreign Affairs Office to take up a part-time job? I'm going to set up four secretaries, divided into two offices, and two shifts in shifts, without delaying anything. Chen Mingxiang said.

"This is the work arrangement of the Foreign Affairs Office, you are the commissioner, just decide for yourself, I won't express my opinion, you can make a report!" Chen Gongbo said with a smile.

What kind of part-time job, that is, he reciprocated the favor by giving the sisters a name in the Foreign Affairs Office and receiving an extra income, and the work of the secretary's office must be taken care of by the other two secretaries.

Chen Mingxiang found that he was becoming more and more shameless, but if he did not do this, the benefits would not be maximized, this kind of work did not conform to the nature of a tactical agent, but it was in line with the nature of a strategic agent.

"Thank you Commissioner Chen for giving our sister this opportunity, I will be your subordinate in the future, please take care of it!" He Zhuoxian said with a smile.

"In order not to make it difficult for you and the mayor, we try to find time to show up at the Foreign Affairs Office, so as not to gossip." He Bingxian said.

These two sisters are not only smart, but also good at human feelings, Chen Mingxiang likes to deal with such people the most, especially women, taking advantage of them is also comfortable.

"In this case, you can choose the location of the office of the Foreign Affairs Office, and then be responsible for the decoration, including the office furniture, I will simply be a hands-off shopkeeper and just enjoy the ready-made." Chen Mingxiang said.

These are two intentions, the first is to let the two sisters enjoy a staggering amount of kickbacks in the process of buying a house, decorating and buying furniture, and sell personal favors to Chen Gongbo.

Second, the two sisters are so smart, they will definitely buy the best house in the French Concession, the most high-grade decoration, and the most luxurious office furniture, or how to make money?

Chen Gongbo faced his lover, and he couldn't help but approve the expenses, and the money from the Finance Bureau was not his, which can really be described as killing two birds with one stone!

Hey, the term killing two birds with one stone doesn't seem appropriate, it's more appropriate to kill two birds with one stone, that's what it means anyway.

"It all shows that Brother Xiang is thoughtful and understanding, and he does things without leakage, and when I see it today, it really deserves his reputation!" Chen Gongbo said with a smile.

Of course, he knew what Chen Mingxiang was arranging for this purpose, so was he satisfied with it?

Nonsense, of course, satisfied, but very satisfied, which also proves that Chen Mingxiang is very good at being a man and can solve problems for his boss.

He is worried about the expenses of the two sisters Zhuo Xian and Bing Xian, Shanghai is not Jinling, no matter how much money is spent here, the income that seemed to be loose in the past is not enough to spend recently.

The income given by Chen Mingxiang alone is estimated to be more than 100,000 legal currency, this foreign commissioner is not wrong, he knows my heart very well!

The two sisters are naturally happy, they are the kind of women who like to enjoy, they usually have a lot of expenses, a lot of extra income, and the level and quality of life can go up one step further.

Chen Mingxiang doesn't look at his young age, but his way of doing things is very sophisticated, and he doesn't lose to those old foxes in officialdom!
