The lively old years have disappeared, and the ancient city of Nanjing seems to be still silent in the strong flavor of the year. In this season, the sky in Nanjing is dry and clean, the sky is high and the clouds are light, the temperature rises suddenly during the day, and the spring breeze begins to gently blow on the face, giving people a pleasing feeling. But not everyone is happy, and there are always lost people who are melancholy. On the first day of work after the new year, the various yamen of the state government began to work in a step-by-step manner. At this time, in an office of the Ministry of Finance, several male and female clerks chatted about the New Year's anecdotes, and there was nothing to do at work anyway, so everyone was talking about it to pass the time.

A beautiful young lady in the office seems to be bored with the short chatter of the parents, but bored with flipping through the outdated newspapers on the desk. The beautiful young lady was about twenty-five or sixteen years old, with long hair permed into a wavy shape, and a fair melon seed face that looked very foreign, which stood out from the rest of the women in the room. The beautiful lady's name is Mei Fang, and she returned to the mainland from the United States in October last year. Mei Fang moved to the United States with her parents when she was very young, and her father was in business in the United States.

In May 1930, Mei Fang graduated from Harvard University, a well-known institution of higher learning in the United States, with excellent grades, and was retained as an assistant professor in the Department of Mathematics by the school in view of her talent. Mei Fang was quite talented in mathematics, and was one of the few top students in the mathematics department of Harvard University at that time, and she was the only woman. The 918 Incident broke out, and the disaster-ridden motherland made overseas travelers worried. Mei Fang adhered to her father's wishes to return to China to serve. After Mei Fang returned with enthusiasm last year, she was assigned to a department of the Ministry of Finance as a small clerk. She can't display her talents, and her daily work is to write reports, which makes Mei Fang very depressed and disheartened.

Originally, she wanted to go back to the United States, but her father did not agree to her going back on the grounds that the national crisis was at hand and every descendant of Yan and Huang should be loyal to the country. In addition, her boyfriend, who she had been with for several years two years ago, died due to a shipwreck, and such a blow was also the reason for her to return to China. Because of Mei Fang's arrogant temperament and growing up in the United States, her Western thinking and lifestyle made her incompatible with the ladies in China, so most of her colleagues stayed away. Every day is to pass the day, the work at hand is too simple for Mei Fang, and the workload of a day is an hourly matter. Mei Fang's personality is exposed, unrestrained, and likes challenges and excitement.

Mei Fang flipped through outdated newspapers, and the Nanjing Times was mostly market news, and rarely touched on political matters. Nowadays, the KMT-CPC peace talks are the trend of the times, especially Jiangxi and Fujian, which are controlled by the Communist Party, and there is very little news in this regard. Suddenly, an article describing the love story of Ouyang Jian, a legendary figure of the Communist Party, aroused her interest. Ouyang Jian is also a person, Mei Fang has heard colleagues talk about it more than once. The love story is inherently attractive, and the handsome portrait of Ouyang Jian in military uniform next to the article made Mei Fang can't help but read it, and soon she was attracted by the wonderful content.

Ouyang Jian, as a prominent figure in the Communist Party, in her impression, the senior officials of the Communist Party are generally older, unkempt, malnourished or have a poor image, but she didn't expect Ouyang Jian to be so jade-tree-like, especially the description of his sad love story made her heart-pounding, and she didn't expect that there would be such an infatuated man in the world. Most of the negative propaganda of the Kuomintang slandered the communists, who did not know the fireworks of the world, and were emotionally indifferent. Suddenly, the character of Ouyang Jian aroused her strong curiosity, and a strong desire prompted her to want to understand this person.

For Mei Fang, who was completely westernized, she did not have the consciousness of following the rules, so she took half a month's leave to the section chief that day, lying that she was sick and needed to recuperate for a period of time. After all, it was a high-level talent who came back from the United States, and the section chief gladly granted leave. After packing up briefly, Mei Fang boarded a freighter bound for Wuhan from Shanghai to Jiujiang the next day. On the way from Jiujiang to Yunshui County, Mei Fang was attracted by the novel life in the base area, especially the spiritual outlook of the people, which opened her eyes and subverted the despicable propaganda of the Kuomintang. All the way to the eye is thriving, the people's life is peaceful, giving people a different feeling.

Arriving at Yunshui County, Mei Fang was attracted by the crowds of people coming and going from the south to the north, and she didn't expect the closed Yunshui County to be so prosperous. Although the streets are crowded with people and all kinds of businesses are mixed along the streets, they are orderly and especially in a good state of hygiene. Mei Fang found a clean hotel to stay in, and then walked around the county for a day, which greatly satisfied her curiosity. At the same time, she became even more scornful of the Kuomintang's negative propaganda. Jiangxi, controlled by the Communist Party, seems to have a passion like fire, which makes Mei Fang even more eager to see Ouyang Jian.

The next day, Mei Fang dressed up carefully and went straight to the headquarters of Yunshui County. In front of the headquarters, Mei Fang was stopped by the sentry, "Comrade, please show your pass!" "The Sentinel is unceremonious." I don't have a pass, I want to see Commander Ouyang. "Comrade, the commander didn't just meet him, please leave." "I'm here to admire, not an enemy or a killer, isn't the commander afraid of an unarmed weak woman?" "Comrade, this is a military powerhouse, don't mess around!"

"It is said that the high-ranking officials of the Communist Party are above board, and I think your commanders are just like that!" "Don't talk nonsense, get out of here now!" The sentry came up and shoved. "Tell you that I know Ouyang Jian, go in and report immediately! Delay my big thing, watch your head! Mei Fang made up a reason in a hurry. The sentry was a little dazed when he heard this, and hurriedly picked up the phone, and after a while, the security chief Gong Nan hurriedly came. Gong Nan looked at Mei Fang carefully and asked, "May I ask this young lady, who are you Commander Ouyang?" "I can't tell you this!" Seeing Mei Fang's arrogant demeanor, Gong Nan was also confused and had to pick up the phone.

Ouyang Jian's trip to Shanghai came and went very smoothly, and everyone was kept in the dark, but only Gong Nan's eyes were not hidden. As the Chief of Security, the Commander's safety is naturally his responsibility. Faced with Gong Nan's questioning, Ouyang Jian had no choice but to explain it to him, and promised not to make an example. Gong Nan politely said that if he violated discipline again, he had the right to report to the Military Commission. Under Ouyang Jian's vow, the matter was over. However, Ouyang Jian was very satisfied with Gong Nan's work. However, Gong Nan felt that the matter was very important, so he personally checked Ouyang Jian's security work.

At this time, Ouyang Jian was checking the materials of the cigarette factory, the first batch of Zhonghua brand cigarettes had been shipped to Ruijin a year ago, and the news came back that the Zhonghua brand cigarettes were good in taste and aroma, no worse than the cigarettes produced in Shanghai. As soon as it was a hit, Ouyang Jian began to arrange a large number of high, medium and bottom block cigarettes. High-grade cigarettes are mainly for special supply, medium and low-grade cigarettes are put into the market, and Ouyang Jian knows very well how much profit the cigarettes are. After punching and kicking to temporarily survive the financial crisis, Ouyang Jian was in a good mood.

The phone rang, and Ouyang Jian picked up the phone: "・・・・・・, what?" A beautiful modern woman wants to see me, know me? What's her name, Mei Fang? You let her in! Ouyang Jian's brain searched for a woman named Mei Fang. Could it be that it was a woman Ouyang Jian knew before, and Ouyang Jian was a little confused. In a room, Gong Nan said politely: "Miss Mei, I'm sorry we have to have a routine inspection?" "If you want to search me, don't forget that men and women don't kiss! Do you suspect that I, a weak woman, am an assassin? ”

Gong Nan walked out with a smile, and then a lesbian came in. Soon, Gong Nan brought Mei Fang into Ouyang Jian's house. Mei Fang looked at Ouyang Jian with a pair of bright eyes, and said without any shyness: "Commander Ouyang, you don't know me anymore!" Ouyang Jian was a little embarrassed, and even more concluded that Ouyang Jian must know this person, so in order to cover up, he motioned for Gong Nan and Xiaoma to go out. Miss May, we ・・・・・・. "Commander Ouyang, I've embarrassed you, I can't hide it, we don't know each other at all, to be exact, I know you and you don't know me."

"May I ask Miss Mei what's going on?" Ouyang Jian's hanging heart fell. "I came here, I saw your story in the Nanjing Times before, and I was particularly moved by your sad love with Lu Wenting, so I came!" There was such a ridiculous thing, Ouyang Jian looked at Mei Fang carefully and said, "Miss Mei, if I didn't guess wrong, you came back from Liuyang." "The commander is really sharp-eyed, Miss Ben grew up in the United States and reads. After the 918 incident, he was upheld by his father to return to China to serve. ”

"Where is Miss Mei on business?" "Miss Ben is on an errand in the Ministry of Finance in Nanjing!" When Ouyang Jian heard this, his face immediately changed and he became alert. "I heard that Commander Ouyang is heroic, do you suspect that I am an assassin?" "Not really, you're here just to see me? I advise you to go back early. "Miss Ben is full of enthusiasm to come back, but every day there is nothing to do and very boring, this time I came to Jiangxi because of your prestige to attract me, so to relax." Ouyang Jian concluded that there was a very Westernized woman in front of him, and she was also a bold and unrestrained woman. I felt a little funny and asked, "What did Miss Mei study in the United States?" "Ms. Ben studied mathematics at Harvard University in the United States and stayed on as a teaching assistant for a year after graduation."

Mathematics Department? Ouyang Jian's expression was refreshed, and he immediately took out a pen and wrote a very complicated equation on the paper. Mei Fang took the paper and said, "You want to test me?" It's unbelievable, a martial artist can do such a difficult math problem, no wonder you can become a legend of the Communist Party. Mei Fang thought for a while and wrote the answer directly. Ouyang Jian was slightly surprised: "Miss Mei can graduate from an institution of higher learning like Harvard University, which can be described as a woman's inadequacy. "It's not about heroines, this girl is just interested in abstract numbers!"

Ouyang Jian asked in English instead: "If Miss Mei is interested here, can she stay?" "Standard American English, it's incredible, you're begging me!" Mei Fang also replied in fluent English, and her eyes showed surprise, as if she had found a soulmate. "If I beg you, will you stay?" "Let me be a teacher here?" "No, let you decipher the Japanese army's ciphercode?" "Morse code! A very difficult job! ”

"Miss Mei, do you have the confidence to accept the challenge?" "Let me think about it!" "Miss Mei, completely voluntary, come and go freely!" In order to keep Mei Fang, Ouyang Jian put down all the work in his hand and accompanied Mei Fang in person. The next day, Dark Arrow sent a telegram that Mei Fang's situation was true. In this regard, Ouyang Jian tried his best to find a way to keep Mei Fang. A few days later, Mei Fang faced Ouyang Jian, her conceit and arrogance were gone, Ouyang Jian's profound knowledge and European and American way of thinking made Mei Fang feel admiring.

On this day, Mei Fang said emotionally: "Commander Ouyang, I have seen the future of the country in you, and I have also seen a talented man. I decided to stay, I stayed for you. ”
