Yang Zili took Zhang Shengyu to the agreed dance hall, the dance hall in Chongqing during the war, naturally there was no bright lights in Shanghai, just an auditorium of the original organ, which was blown up in a corner, and simply renovated it, except for the dance floor in the middle, on both sides is a semi-partition imitation high-backed train seat, four people in a room, but the seat is not a leather spring chair, but a wooden high-backed chair, covered with a layer of green canvas. It's a weekend, and the humble ballroom is crowded with people and loud music.

Yangzili saw at a glance that at the back against the wall, Ni Xin was sitting there with a slightly fat and bald man in his forties, Ni Xin smiled and got up to greet him: "You two, please sit down, I asked for four cups of coffee, and when I came up, I realized that there is only imitation coffee made of roasted wheat kernels, and the sugar cubes put in are not white, but red and black, so make do with it." ”

Yang Zili said with a smile: "The conditions were difficult during the war, and the two of you came from Shanghai, of course I don't know how hard our life is. Let me introduce: Mr. Shi Hongchang, the big boss; This is Zhang Shengyu, a major in the military command. ”

Ni Xin smiled and said politely: "It's an exaggeration, don't hide it from the two of you, our company's business is not small, but that's the boss's business, I'm an errand runner, make some hard money." By the way, here's what you want. ”

Ni Xin handed Yang Zili an envelope. Yang Zili pinched it with his hand, and he realized that it should be the exemption pass that he had been hanging in his heart. In front of Zhang Shengyu, it was inconvenient to look closely, so he made a look of not caring and put it in his pocket. Ni Xin opened the briefcase again, took out a stack of brand-new five-dollar bills, and put them on the table. After four years of all-out war of resistance, the economy of the Kuomintang region has become more and more difficult, inflation, material shortage, and the fiat currency, which is becoming more and more worthless and denominational, is the same hard currency as gold, and the delicate patterns on the banknotes appear particularly soft and attractive in the dim light. Ni Xin smiled: "There is something I want to ask Mr. Zhang for a favor, this is a little meaning, please smile." ”

The pile of banknotes in front of him can solve all his difficulties, Zhang Shengyu can't be unmoved, but he doesn't dare to reach out and take it: how can there be a pie falling from the sky out of thin air, he must find out what this person named Shi Hongchang, whom he met for the first time, needs to do for himself.

Without waiting for him to speak, Ni Xin said again: "People come and go here, Mr. Zhang will put the money away first, you are a public servant, let others see it, it's not good to misunderstand." Don't worry about it, if you can't do what I asked, it's not too late to pay me back. You are a military commander, I am a businessman, how dare the overlord be the bow, and it is difficult for a strong man? ”

This statement is reasonable, Zhang Shengyu said with a smile: "It's better to be respectful than to obey your fate, you and Director Yang are brothers, and I can't hide my situation from you, so I accepted it with an old face, and I think Mr. Shi won't embarrass me, right?" ”

With the thick US dollars in his pocket, Zhang Shengyu felt that his waist was a little straighter, and he had been sitting in the city for many days.

Ni Xin smiled slightly, remembering that when he studied at the Japanese Non-commissioned Officer School, he had a very strange course that year: psychology. In the second semester, this course was canceled, and I was the only student in the class who listened carefully and gained something. Refusing to accept a much-needed amount of cash may be possible for someone with strong self-control, but the same amount of money that has already been put in his pocket and then taken out and returned to others is too little. He smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Zhang is in the military command, so he should know about the explosion of the Kangci Pharmaceutical Factory that happened not long ago, right?" ”

"It's all revealed in the newspapers, and of course I know."

"These days of pseudo-traitors, it is really a heinous crime. You see, as soon as it exploded, the market reacted: the price of Western medicine, in less than a week, rose by two percent. In business, I am not afraid that you will say that we unscrupulous profiteers will make a fortune, but this provides us with an opportunity. ”

Speaking of this, Ni Xin took a sip of coffee and pretended to pause. Zhang Shengyu was like falling into the clouds and mist, and couldn't help asking: "To make you laugh, the more I listen, the more confused I become, how can I help?" ”

Ni Xin smiled and didn't answer, turned his head to Yangzili and Quan Kanhu and said, "When you come to the dance hall, why don't you dance?" Play in the next game. ”

The two understood, said "out of company", and left on their own to find a dance partner. Ni Xin said: "There is something you may not know: Boss Dai of your bureau has already promised the products of Kangci Pharmaceutical Factory to the military hospitals in various war zones before, what should I do if it is bombed like this?" Boss Dai couldn't afford to lose face, so he ......" Ni Xin approached Zhang Shengyu and said in a low voice: "Boss Dai secretly ordered Shanghai Station to purchase a batch of Western medicines for emergency purposes at any cost. Truth be told, our boss is a well-known drug king in Shanghai. Ni Xin pretended to be cautious, and saw that no one around him was paying attention to him and Zhang Shengyu, before continuing: "This is a matter of carrying your head, let the Japanese know, but it will destroy the nine clans!" ”

Zhang Shengyu will be suspicious: These words are not something that a businessman can make up out of thin air, and some of the situations involved are known to him, and some are not known to him. Who the hell is this person? Is this true or false? He asked, "Who is your owner?" If this business can be done, it can be regarded as a great thing for the country. ”

"You're right, we are all Chinese, so naturally we won't sit idly by. I often travel back and forth between Shanghai and the Guotong Region, and I see the lack of medicines in the Guotong District. But...... To be honest, if you work with your head in your head, you naturally want to make the most profits. This business is special, different from ordinary business, the selling price and purchase price, cost, freight or whatever, it doesn't matter. My brother-in-law...... Boss Huang often said: The duty of a businessman is to pursue the maximization of profits. ”

Zhang Shengyu secretly said that this person was the brother-in-law of the Shanghai Youth Gang boss Huang Jinlong, he thought about it and still didn't understand, and asked, "What does that have to do with it?" ”

"It has to do with Boss Dai's ability to bear. The price is low, it's not worth it, it's a life-related matter; The price is high, in case Boss Dai gives up, won't the risk taken for this business in the early stage become useless? ”

Zhang Shengyu said in his heart that this is really a profiteer, he wants money and doesn't want his life, and the bamboo pole is knocked on the head of the military commander, but this has nothing to do with himself. He smiled bitterly: "I want to help find out, but it's a pity that the official is lowly and can't see Boss Dai a few times a year." ”

Ni Xin smiled and said: "Find Boss Dai to investigate, that's a joke, to be honest, it doesn't matter to us, who doesn't want to make a few more money; As far as you are concerned, you are just taking advantage of your power and colluding with internal and external forces to betray the interests of the military command. But there is another person who knows Boss Dai's bottom line - Zhou Chengbin, the stationmaster of Shanghai Station, who specifically handles the purchase of drugs. ”

Zhang Shengyu seemed to understand: "Of course Zhou Chengbin knows, what do you mean ......"

"You are responsible for the telecommunications connection between the headquarters of the Military Command Bureau and the Shanghai Station, right? According to the process of negotiations between Zhou Chengbin and us, it is speculated that you only need to copy me a copy of the telegram sent to Shanghai Station from June 25 to 29, and then you can ...... "Mao Renfeng left Chongqing on the 29th, and before that, he will definitely telegraph Zhou Chengbin of his whereabouts, so that the Shanghai Station can arrange a guard."

Zhang Shengyu was taken aback, interrupted Ni Xin's words, and asked, "How did you know?" Who are you? ”

Ni Xin was not in a hurry or panic, and replied calmly: "I am just a speculative businessman begging for food in troubled times. It was Guo Xuan who told me, he used to be the stationmaster of Shanghai Station, and he cooperated with Boss Huang, and I met with him, went to him, and sent him ...... He was injured and hospitalized, and said that there was no way for the time being, and told me that you were responsible for contacting the Shanghai station, and asked me to try to inquire from you, and also said that you knew Director Yang, so I went to find Director Yang. However, Director Yang doesn't know the purpose of my search for you, if you don't believe it, you can go to Guo Xuan for verification. ”

Zhang Shengyu is a telecommunications professional in the military command, and it is impossible for Guo Xuan not to know each other. Ni Xin decided that Zhang Shengyu did not dare to go to Guo Xuan for verification.

Zhang Shengyu hesitated for a moment and said, "I can't help it, if Shangfeng finds out that I leaked secrets, the family rules of the military commander ...... Besides, according to the rules of the military command, power generation and translation are separated, even if you get the message, can you, a businessman, decipher it? Could it be that your identity is different? ”

Ni Xin smiled and said: "What is good about you, if you do what you do, you will be suspicious and suspicious." I can't decipher it, but Guo Xuan is here. Let me say one more thing: because power generation and translation are separate, you don't understand translating electricity, right? If something happens, I can't suspect you, what are you afraid of. ”

It was a matter of life and future, Zhang Shengyu didn't dare to admit it, and wanted to say something to refuse, Ni Xin said lightly: "Shi doesn't dare to force others, if you really can't trust me, Guo Xuan said that I can also go to the leader of your special secret power group." Mr. Zhang, we haven't said anything today, you return the dollar to me, since you are here, let's find a dance partner, relax, and then go our separate ways, I will go to visit Team Leader Yan early tomorrow morning. ”

Ni Xin did not work hard, but made Zhang Shengyu trust his identity a little more. Pay back? So what should I do? He stammered, "I...... I'm worried that in case, you don't know the family rules of the military commander, I'm really ......"

"Mr. Zhang, don't take it too seriously these days, you think, are you afraid that Shangfeng will know, am I not afraid of offending the military commander, and I can't eat and walk around? God knows about this matter, you know and I know Guo Xuan knows, don't say it won't leak secrets, even if the sky falls, there is Guo Xuan on top of it. You copy the telegram to me, and I will ask Guo Xuan to decipher it tomorrow, and then I will leave Chongqing. ”

Zhang Shengyu hesitated again and again, and finally nodded in agreement: "I believe in you once, in the past four days, there are only two telegrams sent to Shanghai, and I will hand them over to you tomorrow morning." ”

Ni Xin smiled: "Great, you come to this address tomorrow to find me." When you're down to business, what else do you want to drink? I don't know if there's a supper here, or let's dance too, although the conditions are poor, but as the saying goes, it's good to follow the local customs......"

Ni Xin pretended to be idle, how could Zhang Shengyu have this thought, and said with a wry smile: "Forget it, I'll go back...... Tomorrow at nine o'clock in the morning, where am I going to find you? The stakes are so big that you don't want a fourth person to know. ”

"This is the address, I'm waiting for Mr. Zhang. Don't worry, I've only had a head. Don't force you to stay, go slowly. ”

Zhang Shengyu took the note with the address handed to him by Ni Xin and left first. Ni Xin smiled lightly: It is not so much that Zhang Shengyu is not intelligent enough and was deceived into believing what he said, it is better to say that he subconsciously chose to believe. This is like a person who is about to fall into a cliff, when his former enemy throws down a rope, he can only hold on tightly, believing that the enemy who threw the rope is merciful, repays his grievances with virtue, and really wants to save him, instead of pulling him up, taking the opportunity to take revenge, and let him die even worse.
