After lunch, the three of them came out of the No. 2 box, and Feng Chen was at the bar of Jinjiang Sichuan Restaurant, in front of Dong Lanjun and Mao Liying, and called the president of Zhonghui Bank.

The phone was quickly connected, and the other party didn't ask Feng Chen too much about what he was doing with renting the hall on the first floor, and he agreed very happily.

"Boss Dong, Miss Mao, you can pull the materials for tomorrow's bazaar over in the afternoon and arrange them, and I will immediately notify Wang Tiemin of the "Current Affairs Weekly" magazine and ask him to arrange someone to help you." Feng Chen put down the phone and said.

"That's really thanks to Mr. Feng!"

Donglan Jun was polite, but Mao Liying, who was beside her, didn't seem to appreciate it, she just looked at Feng Chen with a complicated look, and didn't say anything like thanks.

The three of them walked out of the restaurant with greetings, Feng Chen said goodbye to Donglanjun and Mao Liying, and drove his car directly to No. 23 Xingfu Lane on Hankou Road.

Dong Lanjun accompanied Mao Liying, drove his own car, and drove towards the Shanghai Women's Club on Nanjing Road.

"Sister Dong, Feng Chen is obviously a traitor, why are we still begging him for help?" Mao Liying, who was sitting in the passenger seat, turned her head, glanced at Dong Lanjun and asked.

"Traitor? Why do you say he's a traitor? Dong Lanjun asked rhetorically.

"Obviously, some time ago, he led people to destroy all the progressive anti-Japanese newspapers and periodicals in the Shanghai Concession overnight, including our three publications, what do you say such a person is not a traitor?" Mao Liying laid out the facts.

"Li Ying, what you said is right, this is all an obvious thing, he led people to destroy all the anti-Japanese newspapers and magazines in the concession, but didn't he release all the people he arrested?" Dong Lanjun didn't know how to explain to Mao Liying.

"Sister Dong, you should know that this person also served as the director of the Institute of Sino-Japanese Culture, and openly engaged in traitorous acts, Sister Dong, you should have less contact with these people in the future." Mao Liying persuaded Donglanjun.

"Hehe, Liying, I'm different from you, I have no party or faction, I'm just a businessman who works hard for life, I see people differently than you see people." Dong Lanjun smiled slightly and drove the car seriously.

"What's the difference? A bad guy is a bad guy, and a traitor is a traitor after all! Sister Dong, are you Chinese? A traitor like Feng Chen, who works for the Japanese, should have been the target of our hoeing and raping a long time ago, but I have never understood why he is not in the list of hoes and rapes of my superiors. ”

Mao Liying was a little emotional.

"Liying, listen to what the eldest sister said, Shanghai is a place where fish and shrimp are mixed, and the environment is complicated, especially to do your kind of work, you must have a pair of discerning eyes."

Dong Lanjun held the steering wheel, said this, turned his head to look at Mao Liying, and continued.

"I have worked hard here in Shanghai for many years, and I have opened a restaurant, and I have seen too many people, some people look humble and gentleman on the surface, and they are dignified, but behind them they do some things like men and prostitutes, and some people you see him acting like a bad person on the surface, eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, and doing all kinds of evil, but he may be a person with lofty ideals."

Dong Lanjun's words couldn't be clearer, that is, you can't look at a person from the appearance.

"Sister Dong, what kind of person do you say the rogue tycoon Du Yuesheng is?" Mao Liying changed the topic and asked.

"Mr. Du Yuesheng Du and Mr. Feng Chenfeng, they have helped me a lot, so I said, you can't see from the appearance, whether they are good people or bad people, take Du Yuesheng as an example, in the face of national righteousness, he still refused the temptation of the Japanese, hid in Hong Kong, and raised funds for the anti-Japanese resistance, do you say he is a bad person or a good person?"

Dong Lanjun's words made Mao Liying fall silent for a while.

"Sister Dong, I really admire your personality, since I met you, I feel like you are like my own eldest sister, but are you willing to hear what happened to me?"

After a while, Mao Liying said quietly.

"Liying, I'm willing to listen, you can say it." Dong Lanjun slowly pulled the car against the side of the road, turned his head to look at Mao Liying, nodded sincerely, and said.

Next, Mao Liying told Donglanjun what happened to her.

"I was born in a family of small officials in Hangzhou, and when I was 6 years old, my father committed suicide because of high debts, and I followed my mother to Shanghai to join Chen Zhaoyue, a relative of Qixiu Girls' High School as the director of education.

My mother and daughter live in Qixiu Girls' Middle School, my mother works as a handyman at school, I am open-minded by nature, but I am not inferior because I am from a poor background, I often encourage myself, people are not poor, and poor people can read good books.

When I was 7 years old, I was able to read music and play the piano with Chen Zhaoyue in the music room, and when I was 8 years old, I was able to play piano songs proficiently when I was studying in Qixiu Girls' Primary and Secondary School.

In high school, I was able to speak English fluently and work as an English teacher in the primary school to save money for college.

After graduating from high school, I was admitted to the law department of Soochow University, and after only one academic year, I was forced to drop out because my family could not afford the expensive tuition.

At the same time, I also joined the Shanghai China Working Women's Association, was willing to work in society, and participated in the "Dongwen Society" run by the underground party organization of Jianghaiguan, becoming an activist and embarking on the revolutionary road.

On August 13, 1937, when the Songhu Anti-Japanese War broke out, the underground party branch of the customs quickly established the customs Chinese wartime service group based on the backbone of the "Dongwen Society".

I often say to people that we have endured six years of grief and indignation, and this time we can no longer back down, the flame of resistance against Japan has been ignited, and the soldiers are fighting bloody battles with the enemy on the line of fire, and we should also make contributions, and at the moment of national crisis, we must be diligent and thrifty, and support the war of resistance with material resources.

I raised a lot of money and goods for the soldiers on the front line of the Anti-Japanese War, and then we bought cloth and sewed clothes, and just after noon on August 23, Japanese planes flew over Nanjing Road, strafing the downtown neighborhoods, pedestrians fled one after another, and shops were closed.

On that day, I had just rushed to Nanjing Road to purchase some cloth for sewing soldiers' underwear, but I realized that the enemy plane had already flown above the roofs of several large companies and dropped a heavy bomb, and the Nanjing Road was suddenly full of flesh and blood.

I didn't care so much, so I had to go from house to house knocking on the door of the store, shouting as I knocked on the door.

When I finally knocked on the door of a cloth shop, the guy inside poked his head out and said, "You want to buy cloth?" Do you see when this is? It's a war, the situation is so urgent, let's wait for tomorrow to come back.

At that time, I said eagerly, boss, be kind, the anti-Japanese fighters at the front are still bleeding, and I bought cloth to make clothes for the soldiers at the front, in order to support the soldiers to defeat the Orientals as soon as possible.

The shopkeepers were finally moved by me, closed the door, invited me in to talk, and they helped me pick out a lot of cloth.

By the time I walked out of the store with these pieces of cloth, the entire Nanjing Road was empty, and where could I hire a rickshaw? I had no choice but to hold the cloth in both hands, and I stopped and carried a few pieces of cloth back alone.

When I arrived at the women's club, I was sweating profusely, my legs were weak, and I collapsed on the floor of the regiment headquarters.

The heroic resistance of the soldiers at the front has inspired the masses of the people and aroused the patriotic enthusiasm of the citizens of Shanghai, which in turn has inspired the fighting spirit of the soldiers at the front.

Hospitals and many schools were full of wounded people, and I led a comfort team to bring apples, oranges, canned food, and other condolences to the Red Cross Hospital, Taihe Hospital, and Xiaoshadu Peicheng Girls' School in the sweltering heat, and walked to the Red Cross Hospital, Taihe Hospital, and Xiaoshadu Peicheng Girls' School to comfort the wounded soldiers.

I told the soldiers about the situation of the Anti-Japanese War in various places, sang anti-war songs with the comfort workers, and was welcomed by the wounded.

In November, the Chinese troops withdrew, the Japanese army occupied Shanghai, and after the occupation of Shanghai, the two concessions were surrounded on all sides by the Japanese occupation area, which was called the isolated island, and I continued to contribute to the war of resistance in the isolated island. ”
