"For a person who is accustomed to living in Beiping, like me, if the wind does not blow in winter, it feels like a miracle; There is no wind in Jinan's winter. ”

- Lao She

It is true that there is no wind in Jinan's winter, but it is by no means a warm and sunny weather as Mr. Lao She said—perhaps this warmth is only relative to Beiping.

At least, Geng Chaozhong is not warm at all now.

Geng Chaozhong wore a thick lint robe, a thick rabbit ear cotton hat on his head, and thick cotton leather shoes under his feet, and walked tremblingly on the street of Quancheng Road, stepping on the stone ground with both feet, and a fine layer of dust was raised, which was stained on the upper of the shoes with his footsteps, like a layer of earthy yellow cloth.

In the blink of an eye, it was already 29 weather, and Geng Chaozhong had stayed in Jinan for more than a month, but the so-called major task had not appeared.

Geng Chaozhong's task is to follow East Street to the Great Wall News Agency on Quancheng Road at about 8 o'clock in the morning every day, and listen to a group of sour literati chatting and farting. Then, at about 3 o'clock in the afternoon, he returned to the party headquarters across the street to report to Liu Yiban on the dynamics of Jinan's cultural and ideological circles.

Annoying!

When people stay in Jinan for a long time, they will unconsciously become "heavy", but Geng Chaozhong doesn't like this kind of heaviness, he prefers the brightness of Qingdao.

But walking into this low-slung Chinese-style courtyard today, it feels a little different.

Because the yard is full of jovial atmosphere.

One of the people of a group of gentlemen wanted to run a newspaper, and one of them said to the crowd: "The most important condition for the success of a newspaper is that the news must be fast, and the name of our newspaper must reflect the word "fast." ”

A clear voice came from the courtyard.

Geng Chaozhong looked inside, and a young man in a suit, with a handsome face, and a bright look between his eyebrows, looked a bit like a movie star, standing in the middle of the courtyard and talking.

The so-called reporters/editors, who were usually scathing, sat or stood on the stone benches around the courtyard, all with smiles on their faces, looking intently at the young man standing in the middle of the courtyard.

Geng Chaozhong's eyes widened.

Is the sun coming out of the west?

These poor literati, who laugh at each other at every turn, and talk sour all day long, can actually listen to people quietly, and the object of listening is still a young man who is less than twenty-five years old?

The handsome young man had already seen Geng Chaozhong at a glance, nodding with a smile on his face, as if he was greeting, but he continued to tell his story:

Then one person said, "Why don't our newspapers have the name 'Modern World' to reflect the speed of news reporting?" ”

There was a sudden burst of laughter in the courtyard, and someone spoke: "The present world! Wonderful! ”

The young man's hands pressed down slightly, and he continued to shake his burden:

At that moment, another person suddenly shouted, "I've found a more suitable name for the newspaper, so I might as well name it 'The Newspaper'!" ”

Hahaha!

There was a burst of laughter in the courtyard, and this joke mocking the second ancestor made the poor literati in the courtyard very satisfied, and they all applauded!

Geng Chaozhong also clapped his hands and laughed a few times in agreement, and then continued to look at this young man who became the focus of the audience as soon as he came in.

And this young man had already walked towards Geng Chaozhong, stretched out his hand from afar, and smiled warmly, like a spring breeze in winter, which made people feel warm in their hearts.

Unconsciously, Geng Chaozhong's mood became happy, and a smile involuntarily appeared on his face.

It's strange that no one has ever been able to affect their mood in this way just by a few slight gestures and smiles.

Geng Chaozhong also stretched out his hand and shook hands with the visitor, and his clear and mellow voice shook Geng Chaozhong's eardrums:

"Contemptible Nanfei, you are Mr. Hua, right?"

Geng Chaozhong was stunned.

Fly South!

Which one is flying south?!

Thinking in his heart, Geng Chaozhong couldn't help but ask:

"Which one flies south?"

"Hehehehe," the young man replied, as if he was very amused by Geng Chaozhong's question:

"Naturally, it is a flying bird from Nanjing, hence the name Nanfei."

Geng Chaozhong calmed down, his complexion returned to normal, and said with a smile:

"The contemptible person is Hua'an, please follow me."

"Wait a minute," Nan Fei turned around, picked up a suitcase from the stone bench next to him, said goodbye to everyone, and followed Geng Chaozhong out of the door and walked to East Street.

Liu Yiban told himself that there would be a person who came from Nanjing for business recently, but he didn't say his name, only that the other party knew his pseudonym, and he would take the initiative to contact him when he arrived.

However, Geng Chaozhong never expected that it was this person who came to connect with him!

Geng Chaozhong silently suppressed the excitement in his heart, and led Nanfei into the Kuomintang Shandong Provincial Party Department across the street, which is also the location of the Jinan Party Affairs Investigation Bureau.

Although the back building of the Kuomintang Shandong Provincial Party Headquarters is close to East Street, it is completely different, quiet and cold, with the unique tranquility of an ancient house.

Several departments are located in this large quadrangle, and they look very shabby.

But this is also something that can't be done - under the nose of Han Dashuai, the Jinan Party Affairs Investigation Department naturally can't be too high-profile.

In a department in Xiangyang, the courtyard, Liu Yiban is sitting next to the stove in the office rubbing his hands and baking the fire - as a southerner, Liu Yiban has a deep hatred for the weather in Jinan, basically, except for going to the toilet and going out on business, he basically will not take a step out of the door.

"Section chief, someone is here in Nanjing!"

Geng Chaozhong's voice came from outside the door, Liu Yiban looked up, and a very handsome young man walked in with Geng Chaozhong, Liu Yiban quickly stood up and greeted him, grabbed the young man's hand, and said with a smile on his face:

"Secretary Minami! I've waited for you! Sit down, sit down! ”

The two humbly sat down, and Liu Yiban pointed to Geng Chaozhong, who was standing next to him, and said:

"Geng Chaozhong, some time ago, he followed Director Cao to visit the Soviet Union and made meritorious contributions."

Nan Fei stood up suddenly, held Geng Chaozhong's hand again, showed respect on his face, glanced back at Liu Yiban, and said with a slight reproach in his tone:

"Section Chief Liu, this is yours!"

Liu Yiban was stunned, but Nanfei over there spoke again:

"Captain Geng, who has made meritorious contributions, has made great contributions! In addition to the Blue Sky and White Sun Medal awarded to Zhang Shaoshuai and other five peaks, Nanjing counted the sixth-level Baoding Medal of Captain Geng! Even Director Xu often mentions it to me! said that you, Section Chief Liu, led the team well, and he was also honored in front of the principal. I also heard Director Xu say that the principal proposed at that time that he must meet Section Chief Liu and this outstanding young man when he has the opportunity! ”

Liu Yiban and Geng Chaozhong were praised by Nanfei in a few words, and they felt that the whole person had floated out of the clouds, and they could be compared with Zhang Shaoshuai! How awesome this has to be!

Liu Yiban asked again and again:

"Really? Did the principal mention me? ”

"That can be fake!" Nan Fei was stern, "The director has also mentioned you several times, and I don't tell you because I am afraid that you will be proud!" ”

"Hahaha!"

Liu Yiban's face seemed to be blooming, and the whole person was a little crazy!

I don't know why, this Nanfei is listening!
