When Jiang Cheng slept carefree, there were countless people who couldn't sleep because of him.

In a small room, a man was hung in the air, his eyes were glazed, he was covered in scars, one foot had been cut into a skeleton by superb knife skills, and his mouth kept calling his mother, and he knew that he had a nervous breakdown. Dai Li looked at the testimony in his hand, and the more he looked at it, the more shocked he became, and the more he looked at it, the more angry he became, and said, "Hang this dead devil for me, until you hang yourself like this." After saying that, he walked out angrily, got into the car and drove to Meiling Palace.

At this time, Jiang was already asleep, but when he heard that Dai Li was visiting late at night, he knew that something had happened to Bacheng, so he asked Dai Li to wait for him in the study.

Jiang Zheng walked to the study in pajamas, saw Dai Li, and asked, "Yunong is so late, what's the matter?" ”

Dai Li stood up, handed the information in his hand to Jiang Intermediary and said, "Headmaster, I have found two secret Japanese bases in Nanjing overnight, and secretly attacked a person who came out to do business, and got the evidence, the list is true. ”

Jiang looked at the testimony that still had blood on it, and suddenly threw the testimony on the table and scolded, "Niang Xipi, these ungrateful guys, Yunong, you give me immediately-no, don't act rashly." ”

Jiang Zhong walked around twice and said, "From now on, closely monitor these people, but don't make any rash moves, I'm going to let these dogs help me pass on some news to their master, understand?" ”

Dai Lili said, "Students understand. He also said, "Principal, that Jiang Cheng's origin is unknown, and it can be seen from this list that there are penicillin, body armor and other things on this list, and the forces behind this person are extremely powerful, and we have to guard against it." ”

Jiang Zhong squinted at Dai Li, and asked, "Then what should I do according to your wishes?" ”

Dai Li was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, "Students only dare to mention Tijian, where do they dare to call the shots for the principal." ”

Jiang intermediary pointed at Dai Li and scolded, "I don't think you dare to do anything, Niang Xipi, is this position for you to sit in the future." ”

Dai Li was so frightened that he knelt on the ground again, I have to say, Jiang Intermediary has a very strange place, he likes to scold people very much, but scolding also has to be divided into situations, if it is between two people, it means that he values you very much, and the more you scold, the more you value.

Jiang Zheng walked around twice and said, "This person is indeed of unknown origin, as if it fell from the sky, I don't want to believe his nonsense, but this person is now we want to use it, and we have to use it well, so you are not allowed to touch him, now a qiē anti-Japanese center, as long as it can help us resist Japan, even the Red Party I will use it, not to mention a businessman who doesn't know what the origin is." ”

Dai Lian nodded and said, "I see." ”

Jiang intermediary said again, "But with the use of return, you really need to guard against it, you want to find a way to put some people around him, but it must not be discovered, you know?" ”

Dai Li hurriedly responded, "The students know that they will definitely not spoil the principal's plan." ”

In another place, in the dim hut, a man sneaked in and said to the middle-aged man opposite, "Why did Mr. suddenly come to Shanghai?" Still in a hurry to call me for a meeting? ”

The middle-aged man sighed, "I don't want to be so fast, but now that the shape has changed, let me ask you a question, how much do you know about Jiang Cheng now?" ”

The man shook his head and said, "Not much, he divided all of our work, and we all knew a small part of our business. And he's elusive, and I'm not by his side this time. But he would disappear for a while at a time, and then suddenly appear, and then a large amount of supplies would appear in the warehouse, and I don't know exactly when he got them to the warehouse. ”

The middle-aged man nodded and said, "Do you see his inclination towards the red and white parties?" ”

The man closed his eyes and shook his head, saying, "Let's say that he is inclined to the White Party, but he cares about the toiling masses very much, and he also says that he wants us to learn culture, and he feels that he has some revolutionary consciousness, and he is extremely supportive of anti-Japanese resistance." Let's say that he is inclined to the Red Party, he and Yu Qiaqing and Du Yuesheng's executioners are mixed together every day, and I don't see it well. ”

The middle-aged man asked again, "Then do you think we can contact him?" ”

The man nodded and said, "I think it's okay, at least we can be sure that he is definitely not a spy of the White Party, and the strength behind him is very strong, I think we can try to contact him, if nothing else, let him give us some penicillin or something, our soldiers can have a lot without sacrifice, I think we should take some risks." ”

The middle-aged man stood up and said, "You go out and be careful, I understand, you continue to stay lurking and strive to gain Jiang Cheng's trust." ”

The man nodded and walked out. The middle-aged man thought for a while and said, "Immediately generate electricity in Nanjing." ”

In the next few days, Jiang Cheng traveled around Nanjing City, while waiting for the commissioner that Jiang said to come to him.

Four days later -

Shanghai, Weihua Company opened again, today it is Lin Huaibu who looks at the store, looks at the sky is not completely bright, and thinks that today is going to be hard again, this business is too good and uncomfortable. Suddenly, he heard what seemed to be a commotion in the distance.

Lin Huaibu suspected that some force was making trouble, and hurriedly asked his men to go down and take a look, when he heard a shout.

"Down with the traitorous company! Down with the Weihua comprador group! Defend domestic production and oppose foreign goods. ”

Lin Huaibu simply doubted his ears, how could Weihua Company, which had always been doing patriotic business, suddenly become a traitorous comprador? By this time, he had already seen countless people walking this way.

Lin Huaibu shouted, "Close the door quickly, and call someone to inform Mr. Du of them." After saying that, he hurriedly closed the door, only to see countless merchants and workers dressed as people holding banners, and they did not attack, but kept shouting slogans outside the store.

Du Yuesheng couldn't help but be taken aback when he heard the news, and he was completely confused, until the protégé outside the door handed in a letter, which said from the China Textile Association, asking why Weihua Company wanted to buy a large number of foreign cloth and iron, and why it wanted to impact the Chinese textile industry and steel industry, which had finally developed in ten years. Du Yuesheng's mind turned, and he immediately guessed what Jiang Cheng was doing in Nanjing, and hurriedly sent a telegram to Jiang Cheng to ask what was going on.

Nanjing――

"Jiang Cheng, Jiang Cheng, wake up." Jiang Cheng was woken up by Yu Qiaqing, Jiang Cheng rubbed his eyes and looked at the clock, it was not yet eight o'clock, Jiang Cheng, who was tired of playing for a day yesterday, asked strangely, "Old Yu, what's wrong?" Why are you in such a hurry to wake me up? ”

"Look at it, this is Mr. Du's emergency call, what good things have you done?" Yu Qiaqing stuffed the telegram into Jiang Cheng's arms and hurriedly circled the bed.

Jiang Cheng took the telegram and read it, to the effect that a large number of workers' strikes suddenly broke out in Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and other places this morning, but this strike was not against the capitalists or demanding that the central directors and deputies immediately resist Japan, but against the Weihua Company, saying that the Weihua Company was ready to buy a large number of cheap foreign cloth and iron, dump it in China, and prepare to destroy China's industry, and that it was a big traitor and a traitorous company, and begged the government to seize the Weihua Company in order to bring peace to the world. At present, many patriotic young people have begun to attack the stronghold of Shanghai Weihua Company, and they are anxiously asking what is going on.

Jiang Cheng was simply stunned when he looked at the telegram, what was going on? Why did he suddenly become a big traitor who everyone shouted and killed?

Suddenly, Huang Biao walked in and said, "Boss, that Kong Xiangxi invited you to eat at the teahouse at noon." ”

Yu Qiaqing sighed and said, "There is no good banquet, Xiao Jiang, you have to be careful, I think this time the matter is not simple." ”

Jiang Cheng swallowed his saliva and nodded, he still didn't understand why he had become a villain.

Yu Qiaqing said again, "Go and prepare for the banquet, talk to others well, alas! You're still too young. ”

Jiang Cheng looked at the telegram and then at Yu Qiaqing, he could hear that Yu Qiaqing seemed to have guessed something-is he really too young?

At noon, Jiang Cheng arrived at the restaurant with a gloomy face, the banquet in the restaurant had been set up, Kong Xiangxi smiled like a Maitreya Buddha, and when he saw Jiang Cheng, he stepped forward and said, "Ah, Brother Jiang Cheng hasn't seen him for a few days, but I miss my brother, I don't know what is wrong with Brother Jiang Cheng?" Why is your face so ugly? ”

Jiang Cheng looked at Kong Xiangxi's smiling face, gritted his teeth and said, "Now I have to cover my face when I go to the street, what's the good way to feel?" I don't know who framed me like this."

Kong Xiangxi saw Jiang Cheng with a smile and said, "I've heard all those things about you, didn't I come to you right away, and you want to help you, those are some little people messing around, why should Brother Jiang Cheng take it to heart?" ”

After three glasses of wine, Kong Xiangxi said with a smile, "Actually, these things are easy to do, as long as Brother Jiang Cheng is willing to let the people see your sincerity, they will naturally believe that brother, you are really for the country and the people." ”

Jiang Cheng stared at Kong Xiangxi and asked, "Then according to Minister Kong's meaning, how should I show my sincerity?" ”

Kong Xiangxi looked at Jiang Cheng and said with a smile, "Now the whole country knows the penicillin of Weihua Company, as well as the miraculous effect of penicillin, since Brother Jiang is unwilling to move the factory to China, then if Brother Jiang is willing to contribute the formula of penicillin to the national government, I believe that the people know, they will definitely say that Weihua Company is a good company that loves the country and forgets its home." ”

Said and said with a smile, "Of course, our national government will not take it in vain, I will build a national government to make an exception to issue a blue sky and white sun medal, you know, this medal is not a military merit, this is a great honor, Comrade Jiang Cheng should cherish this opportunity." ”

Jiang Cheng was almost laughed at by Kong Xiangxi, obviously he wanted to take advantage of it, but he actually had to seize the opportunity himself.

Jiang Cheng didn't say anything, but asked, "What about helmets, military uniforms, and materials?" ”

Kong Xiangxi waved his hand and said, "At that time, as long as Brother Jiang makes a statement, saying that he will not let a piece of foreign cloth and a pound of foreign iron enter China, naturally no one will quarrel anymore." If there are still people presiding over strikes and other things, it must be a conspiracy of the Japanese, and we can resolutely crack down on them. ”

Jiang Cheng shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I can't do any of these things." ”

Kong Xiangxi sighed and said, "Jiang Cheng, I know that you are young and have ideas, these are all good, but your brain is too dead, you have to live a little, you have to be flexible in everything, otherwise it is easy to have accidents." Jiang Cheng asked, "I don't know what Minister Kong means, how should I live a little?" Kong Xiangxi thought for a while and said, "If Brother Jiang Cheng really has a heart, I think it's okay to come like this, you resell those things to domestic companies, and then we let them transfer them to the government, so that it won't become a domestic product." ”

Jiang Cheng felt familiar when he heard it, isn't this the truth of the so-called domestic production in many later generations. Jiang Cheng picked up the wine glass and said, "I'm sorry, Minister Kong, I can't do anything you say, I really don't understand why those people are targeting our company like this." I will go and ask Chairman Chiang for justice. After saying that, he bowed and withdrew. Kong Xiangxi saw that Jiang Cheng was really leaving, so he angrily slammed the cup and said, "This rude guy, I, a member of the Central Committee, am standing here and talking to him with good words, and he is actually leaving?" ”

At this time, a person walked out from behind the screen, this person looked young but in his early 20s, but he looked arrogant and domineering, looking at the place where Jiang Cheng walked and sneering, it was Kong Xiangxi's eldest son Kong Lingkan.

Kong Lingkan said unhappily: "I don't know that the sky is high and the earth is thick, and everyone thinks that if you catch up with Chairman Jiang, everyone will look down on you?" It's really funny. Hum!! After speaking, he persuaded Kong Xiangxi and said, "Dad, don't be too angry, do you think we are pushing too hard?" I've seen it for a while, and we'll persuade you again, but we'll have to do a good job of the penicillin and the medicine that have been sent over now. ”

Kong Xiangxi glared at him and said, "You still have the face to say, that Jiang Cheng has great powers, and now he is extremely valued by the chairman, I don't want to provoke him, but you have to fight him, I have my own sense of proportion in this matter, but this Jiang Cheng really treats himself as a dish." I don't know what to say, I don't think he knows our strength. We're going to give him some color. ”

Jiang Cheng knew in his heart that this time the public opinion aimed at him so much must have been fueled by the Kong family, although he didn't know why he targeted himself like this, but now he can protect himself, probably only Jiang Mediation, as long as Jiang Intermediary says that he is patriotic, who dares to object? said to Huang Biao, "Go to the National Government Building"

When Jiang Cheng's request to see was put on Jiang Cheng's desk, Jiang Zheng was worried about a large number of texts, all of which were aimed at Jiang Cheng, to the effect that he had heard that the White Army was preparing to buy a large amount of foreign cloth abroad, which greatly shocked the textile industry in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shanghai and other places, and people were panicking, and they went on strike in various places, hoping that Chairman Jiang would clarify the rumors and explain that he would not give up supporting domestic industry. Jiang Zheng knew in his heart that it had only been a few days, where could it spread so quickly all over the north and south of the country, and there would be a workers' strike -- this was just a threat to himself by the Jiangsu-Zhejiang consortium, and the leading Eight Achievements was his good brother-in-law, Kong Xiangxi.

Jiang Intermediary sighed and looked at the city of Nanjing outside the window, it is difficult, it is difficult to be a poor and weak Chinese head of state, he still needs the support of these capitalists, without these people, Chairman Jiang's money bag will not be bulging, the money bag is not bulging, the gun is not stable, from a small hooligan step by step to today's Jiang intermediary understands this truth better than anyone else. Look at yourself looking at the Hitler in the west, it's really more human than human, and it's infuriating.

Jiang said in a low voice, "Let Jiang Cheng come in." ”

When Jiang Cheng came in, he saw that Jiang Intermediary was looking out the window, not knowing what he was thinking. Jiang Cheng pondered for a while and said, "Chairman, I have something I want to report."

Jiang Intermediary slowly turned around and said, "You don't need to say it, I know all about you, I think about it this way, there is no war yet, so it is indeed not appropriate to buy a large amount of military funds - the matter of military materials will be forgotten like this." ”

Jiang Cheng hurriedly said, "Chairman of the National Committee, I don't provide materials for money, I really provide for the people, if it is really difficult for the government, I am willing to provide 300,000 sets of materials for free." ”

Jiang Zhong waved his cane angrily, walked around and said, "Why are you so ignorant of politics?" Will my central government lack your supplies? I have already thought of your words for you, and from now on you will take care of every word, I hope you can understand my painstaking efforts. When I tell you to take care of the whole situation, I want you to take care of the overall situation, alas, you have not been in China for a long time, and you are still too young. Too young to make a big deal. ”

Jiang Cheng couldn't help but say aggrievedly when he heard this, "Chairman, I'm already willing to provide supplies for free, why are you still angry." ”

Jiang intermediary closed his eyes and asked, "Now they are already saying that you are dumping at a low price, and now you say that you are providing it for free, do you want to have a head?" ”

Jiang Cheng was shocked when he heard this, and he couldn't speak.

Jiang pointed to the door and said, "Think about it yourself, Gu Quan-some things are not so simple. ”

On the way back, Jiang Cheng kept thinking, was he wrong? Is it wrong to want to give it for free? Why is it so hard to do something for the country? At this time, Gallagher suddenly said, "Jiang Cheng, I feel that you are blocking the way of some people this time. When Jiang Cheng heard this, he suddenly understood something, and he couldn't believe it, "Don't they take into account the interests of the country at all?" I'm doing this to increase our army. ”

Just when Jiang Cheng was distressed, Huang Biao said timidly, "That, the owner, someone gave you something." ”

Jiang Cheng looked at him and asked, "What's it?" Show me. ”

Huang Biao said, "When I was waiting for you outside today, I saw that there was a cigarette sale, so I bought a pack, and then I saw this from the cigarette, although I don't know what it was written, but I guess someone probably wanted to show you." ”

Jiang Cheng looked at it, and it was a note that said that at 8 o'clock tonight, Fuchang Hotel 406 asked you to see him.

Jiang Cheng looked at the note and thought about it, and couldn't guess who it was, and then thought about it, now his identity is still secret, and he can know that he will definitely not be an ordinary person, so it is better to go and see him.

The night comes to this ancient city again, Nanjing Fuchang Hotel, located in the central business district of Nanjing - Xinjiekou, is a famous "time-honored" hotel in Nanjing. During the Republic of China, it was as famous as the Central Hotel and the Capital Hotel, and was founded in the 21st year of the Republic of China.

The main building of the hotel was 6 floors, which was the tallest building in Nanjing at that time and one of the representative works of Western modernist architecture at that time. The hotel had the world's most advanced and rare OTS hand-cranked elevator in China at that time (at that time, there were only two in Nanjing, one in the "Zichao Building" of the National Government Office Building, and the other in the Fuchang Hotel).

When Jiang Cheng arrived at the Fuchang Hotel, it was the time when the crowd was buzzing, and in order to hide people's eyes, Jiang Cheng deliberately wore glasses and pasted a beard.

As soon as I entered, a foreign waiter asked in broken Chinese, "Does Mr. have an appointment?" ”

Jiang Cheng nodded and said, "Well, I'm here to find a friend, room 406." ”

The waiter nodded, called to ask clearly, the guest did have friends coming, so he took Jiang Cheng to the fourth floor. The fourth floor is the guest room, and when he came to room 406, Jiang Cheng asked Huang Biao to wait outside and knocked on the door by himself. The door opened, and it was an ordinary-looking young man who saw Jiang Cheng and asked, "Mr. Jiang?" ”

Jiang Cheng nodded, took off his glasses and asked, "It's me, the mysterious one, who are you?" ”

An elegant voice came, "Hehe, it's Comrade Jiang Cheng who is here, please come in, Xiao Zhang, you go and pour tea." ”

Jiang Cheng looked at it and was startled, it was actually Zhou Guansheng, who had a relationship with each other.

Jiang Cheng stammered and asked, "Mr. Zhou, do you know me?" ”

Zhou Guansheng said with a smile: "Your Weihua company is famous, and it is difficult not to be noticed." ’

Jiang Cheng nodded awkwardly and asked, "Do you have any advice for Zhou Gong when he called me?" ”

Zhou Guansheng pointed to the sofa and said, "You're welcome, sit, the ancients all said that Zhou Gong interprets dreams, and I, Zhou Gong, am specially here to solve your doubts." ”

Jiang Cheng sat on the sofa, caught Xiao Zhang's tea and asked, "Duke Zhou knows that I am confused?" ”

Zhou Guansheng nodded and said, "Comrade Jiang Cheng, has he been feeling very angry recently?" Obviously, you are dedicated to the country and want to use your own strength to do something for the country, but you run into walls everywhere, and even Chairman Jiang, who has the most expectations, suddenly does not support you. ”

Jiang Cheng sighed and said, "Zhou Gong Mingjian, I don't understand, I didn't rob their money, I came to send money, why did you target me?" ”

Zhou Guansheng laughed and said, "Who said that you didn't rob other people's money, you robbed it, or robbed it." ”
