After leaving from No. 5 Hongshizhu, Li Yixin immediately returned to the office non-stop and wrote a note to the headquarters of the Central Union, reporting his current situation, showing that he had made certain progress in some aspects.

Among them, for the matter of becoming the boss behind the company, he just reported to Zhongtong that he had found a suitable person to manage the company's business on the bright side.

This is also a precautionary measure, because Li Yixin does not want Zhongtong to send someone to take over his company after learning that his company lacks a company manager on the surface.

The note reported to the Central Union was quickly taken away from the dead mailbox, and Li Yixin observed that the Central Union did not give him new instructions.

At the same time, he went to the Stone Town branch of the "Declaration" to publish an advertisement for the Jianzhong Trading Company to recruit a company manager.

Back in the company's office, Li Yixin began to think about how he should gain a foothold in the material control investigation committee, which is his most important and urgent work at present.

Obviously, that Wei Jianping was a little resistant to his sudden placement in the anti-smuggling investigation department, and even did not hesitate to use the method of giving Ma Wei to express his dissatisfaction, which can almost be said to be clearly excluded.

In fact, this is very unfavorable for Li Yixin's foothold in the Anti-Smuggling Investigation Department, and Li Yixin even speculates that the traitors in this committee are likely to have some shady deeds, so they will squeeze out him, an outsider, even if it is the face of Wen Mian, the puppet chairman of Huangshan Province, a big traitor.

Li Yixin thought about the various connections in Stone Town, and if he wanted to break the unfavorable situation in the Anti-Smuggling Investigation Department now, the most effective one was Shinnosuke Murakami, because his old classmate was a Japanese special high school, and this identity was enough to make all the traitors in Stone Town very afraid.

But Li Yixin didn't want to expose his relationship with the Japanese in front of Wei Jianping too early, this relationship could only be used as a hole card when it was a last resort, except for Murakami's special greeting and request for secrecy.

Take advantage of the warmth? This is a good idea, but Li Yixin has a feeling that Wen Mian's prestige in the Material Control Investigation Committee is not high, which can be seen from the meeting where he took office this morning.

If he takes advantage of Wen Mian, he may backfire and make his situation in the Anti-Smuggling Investigation Department even more unfavorable.

It would be nice if he could understand what kind of medicine was sold in this Wei Jianping gourd, Li Yixin seemed to have grasped something in his mind, but it was not very clear.

If you want to understand what Wei Jianping is doing with this committee, you must start with the traitors who are familiar with the situation in Stone Town, and he believes that no matter how secretive Wei Jianping does things, there will always be some people who know something.

Li Yixin thought about it, and it wasn't until it was almost dark that he finally remembered someone: Secretary Ma.

This person seems to be an inconspicuous character in the puppet Huangshan Provincial Government, but this person has been in the puppet government for a long time, and he should know something about what happened in Stone Town, especially the things in the Material Control Investigation Committee.

If you want to do it, Li Yixin has always been in a hurry for work. He immediately picked up the phone and dialed Ma Zhixin's number, which Li Yixin had already obtained when he first met Ma Zhixin.

Soon Ma Zhixin's arrogant voice rang on the other end of the phone: "Hey? Who is it? ”

"Secretary Ma, hello, I'm Li Yixin."

The voice on the other end of the phone suddenly lost its arrogance, and became cordial and enthusiastic: "Oh, it turned out to be Deputy Director Li, is there anything wrong with getting off work soon?" ”

"That's right, I haven't been in Stone Town for a long time, and I'm also very grateful to Secretary Ma's care. I think I want to invite Secretary Ma to a light meal alone tonight, you can decide the place, I don't know if Secretary Ma is willing to appreciate his face? ”

"Alas...... Deputy Director Li, where is this, you are too polite, why are you embarrassed to let you break the bank? Well, I'll arrange for it tonight, and our brothers will have a good drink, and we'll be closer to each other in the future." By the way, don't call me Secretary Ma in the future, this seems too distant, just call me Ma Zhixin. Okay, it's decided, at 7 o'clock in the evening, we will see you at the restaurant on Tianxia Road. ”

After speaking, he hung up the phone on the other end of the phone, for fear that Li Yixin would rush to treat him.

Regarding Ma Zhixin's attitude, Li Yixin knew that this was because the other party wanted to get closer to him, and of course, this was also the reason why he saw that he had something to do with the Japanese special high school, which was beneficial for him to learn about some material control and exchange committees from Ma Zhixin.

Looking at his watch, the time was already 6 o'clock in the afternoon, Li Yixin checked the map in his hand, and hurriedly went out to hail a rickshaw and rushed to the Liuyi Restaurant.

Although Ma Zhixin's posture is very low, Li Yixin still has a request today, so he doesn't want Ma Zhixin to wait first.

Of course, Li Yixin will not wait at the gate of the restaurant like he did with Shinnosuke Murakami, he opened a private room, ordered the wine and food, and then told the guy that if anyone asked about the private room that Mr. Li had booked, he would bring it here.

At 6:55, 5 minutes before the agreed time, the guy brought Ma Zhixin to the private room. As soon as he entered the door, Ma Zhixin bowed his hand again and again, pretending to blame: "Deputy Director Li, you are too polite, and my brother still can't catch up with you, forgive your sins." ”

Li Yixin stood up and extended his hand to the right, and said with a smile: "Your brother is a busy man, and besides, I am here today for a thank-you banquet, come on, come and take a seat." ”

"Don't rob me of the account today, or I'll leave. Hahaha......" Ma Zhixin opened the wine bottle after sitting down, filled it for Li Yixin and himself, and said with a wine glass.

"Let's not talk about that, I salute your brother for this glass of wine." After Li Yixin finished speaking, he drank the wine in the cup and lit up the bottom of the cup.

"Good! Brother Li is refreshing, and I am willing to make such a friend. Ma Zhixin also drank the wine in the glass, and then filled it again.

After eating a few chopsticks dishes, Li Yixin said with a sad face: "There are some people in this stone city who are bullying, today I invited my brother to drink, first, I want to thank my brother for taking care of me, and secondly, I also ask my brother to help me point out the maze, I am now black-eyed, and I don't know anything." ”

"Oh? What is it? Let's hear how many years my brothers have been in this stone town, and I don't dare to say that everything is clear, but there are few things that can be hidden from me. After Ma Zhixin drank a few glasses of wine, he heard that Li Yixin was in trouble, and felt that today's occasion was very suitable to get closer to Li Yixin, so he asked with concern.
