"Brother Ziming." Zhou Yanming saw that the other party had seen him, and knew that there was no way to find an excuse to leave at this time. He walked over and smiled and pushed open the door of the box.

When Shen Yan saw Zhou Yanming coming in, he got up and stood up, and when he turned around, he saw a white man with an awl face, wearing a clean suit, and his hair was combed beautifully.

"Come on, let me introduce, this is Shen Yan, the head of the intelligence section of the Reserve Cadre Department, and he is my brother; This is Zhou Yanming of the Warden Division. After Xu Ziming finished speaking, he waved his hand.

The two shook hands, exchanged a few words and began to sit down.

"Brother Yanming, why is it so late?" Xu Ziming asked casually.

Zhou Yanming pretended to be remorseful and said: "I called a rickshaw, and I just fell asleep after lying on the car for a while." As a result, this master didn't know the way, and almost pulled me to Xuanwu Lake. ”

"What kind of coachman, I don't even know the Qinhuai River." Of course, Shen Yan knew that Yan Ming was deliberately lying this week, especially this kind of petty officials who often deal with people from all walks of life, all of them are masters of casual lies, so he deliberately asked provocatively.

Zhou Yanming couldn't hear the other party's off-string sound, so he casually said sloppily: "What's that!" Listening to the accent, it is estimated that he is a foreigner, and now there are many outsiders pulling rickshaws in Nanjing. ”

Xu Ziming saw that Zhou Yanming was a little unable to continue, so he hurriedly waved his hand and shouted: "Boss, our dish should be served, take a few more bottles of beer, and ask for Master Huang's brand." ”

After the owner answered, the clerk brought the prepared food and beer. Beer is a novelty for many people, since Huang Ke invested in the "Master Huang" brand beer began to be popularized among the people, but the price is not cheap, and most people drink some during the New Year's holidays, but for Zhou Yanming and these people, beer is already a commonplace drink.

The beer was opened, Shen Yan beckoned behind him, and the tall and tall horse staff officer immediately stepped forward and began to pour wine for Zhou Yanming, Xu Ziming and Shen Yan successively, he behaved a little rudely, and accidentally knocked over a bottle when pouring wine, causing beer foam to spill everywhere.

Staff Officer Ma hurriedly went to wipe it with his clothes, but unexpectedly dropped the big-eyed puff in his waist to the ground, Zhou Yanming didn't expect that the young Section Chief Shen was still bringing bodyguards with him to dinner, and he came with a gun.

He couldn't help but gasp, and a hint of horror and displeasure flashed in his eyes.

"Get out!" Shen Yan naturally noticed Zhou Yanming's subtle change, and the Tsushima staff officer, who seemed to be very annoyed, shouted. Staff Officer Ma was accompanied again and again, and hurriedly walked out of the door.

"Guy who eats!" Shen Yan yelled again, and Staff Officer Ma hurriedly ran in, picked up the pistol that was thrown on the ground, and then stood in the position just now.

"You two wait outside the door." Shen Yan said with some displeasure, and after the two answered, they pushed the door and stood at the door.

After these things were over, Shen Yan changed his face and said, "Don't be surprised, these rough people can't do things well." Let you see and laugh, see and laugh. ”

Zhou Yanming said with a smile: "Don't like to listen to the joke Section Chief Shen, I thought that the reserve cadres were all as personable as Section Chief Shen, but I didn't expect there to be such a rough person?" ”

Shen Yan waved his hand, "These two people are not from our pre-office, the two of them are the subordinates of Commander Batu of Mongolia. Commander Batu sent me to send me something, they can do it, and we were caught by Chief Yang, so it was the turn of the action group. You said, Chief Yang and Commander Batu are both old friends from the time of Xiguan, is there anything difficult about the two of them? ”

After speaking, Shen Yan deliberately laughed presumptuously.

Xu Ziming naturally knew the deep meaning, so he waved his hand and said: "Don't get in the way, don't get in the way!" Director Shen, don't be so harsh on your subordinates, doesn't Chairman Huang often teach us to be 'dear and sincere'! ”

"Yes, yes, you're a businessman who knows more than I do." Shen Yan also half-jokingly.

"That's right, otherwise how could Boss Xu get in and out of the car and live in a big villa?" Zhou Yanming, who was sitting on the chairman's seat, also said.

Xu Ziming waved his hand again and again, "It's all the brothers who help take care of it." Director Zhou, Section Chief Shen, you are both my nobles, so let's help each other. ”

"That's nature." As he spoke, Shen Yan picked up his wine glass and toasted with Zhou Yanming. After the two touched a few glasses, Shen Yan, who was overwhelmed by alcohol, already blushed.

After three rounds of drinking, the atmosphere was much better. The three of them began to call each other brothers, babbling a lot about what they didn't have, and they hooked their shoulders and kissed each other like a mother.

At this time, Shen Yan, who was a little drunk, suddenly sobered up, he put his hand on Zhou Yanming's shoulder, and said seriously: "Brother Zhou, brother actually has something to ask you for today. ”

Zhou Yanming had a cigarette in his mouth and said indifferently: "Just tell me anything." ”

"Okay, Brother Zhou is really happy!" Shen Yan clapped his hands, and the two Huma who were standing with guns outside the door pushed the door in, and the two put an inconspicuous tin box on the table.

Lao Hu, who was fiddling with the box, glanced at Shen Yan next to him, and Lao Hu went to open the box with understanding, and the moment he opened it, Lao Hu's dark face reflected a golden light that was not distinct.

Then, Lao Hu turned the box around and showed it to Zhou Yanming. Zhou Yanming was calm on the surface, but in his heart he was in turmoil, money and gold had the greatest impact on people, especially when the gold nuggets in front of him were neatly stacked together and emitted a faint golden light.

"Section Chief Shen, what does this mean?" Zhou Yanming took his eyes off the gold bar and asked lightly.

"Since we're brothers, I won't speak any more. That's right, Commander Batu of the Second Army of the Expeditionary Force entrusted me with something. Shen Yan did not shy away from it, and bluntly said what happened before and after, but he didn't say that he wanted these prisoners to become soldiers, but just said that Mongolia needs too many laborers now, and these husbands' deadlines are about to expire, so this is a last resort.

"I hope that Director Zhou can proceed from the general interests of the country and make a note for these prisoners, so that they can continue to carry out labor reform in Mongolia."

"I have already told Boss Xu about this, and he made a guarantee to ensure that it is correct. Even if it happens in the future, it won't be held back to you, brother. Shen Yan said it without reservation.

Zhou Yanming didn't answer, the chopsticks rained down, and a plate of fried bean sprouts seemed to have all entered his mouth. It's not that this plate of fried bean sprouts is delicious, it's just that he's thinking.

It's normal for him to think about such a big thing, but if he agrees after listening to it, it's not normal.

Shen Yan and Xu Ziming also stopped talking, quietly waiting for Zhou Yanming's answer.

For a few minutes, Zhou Yanming never said a word, and there were no more bean sprouts left on a plate.

"Brother Zhou, I'm afraid you'll have to eat this plate if you eat it again." Xu Ziming saw that the time was almost up, so he reminded half-jokingly.

Zhou Yanming smiled slightly, and then put down his chopsticks and sighed.

Shen Yan saw his expression and knew that he might take the opportunity to rip off the bamboo, so he waved his hand and asked Hu Ma and the others to go out first. Hu Ma and the two glanced at each other, and then looked at Zhou Yanming, and then went out.

Zhou Yanming was calm on the surface, but a trace of cold sweat broke out on his spine, today this is a risky fortune, it is not his style to take it, there is Xu Ziming's recommendation and guarantee, it is naturally no risk to take it, and this matter is not difficult to do, now many places are sending gifts and money to them, extending the period of labor of the prisoners in the local area, isn't the purpose to let these people do more work.

But this time there are still some risks, the 7,000 people in Mongolia are very numerous, and he really can't figure out what the other party wants these people to do.

But even if you don't take it, you may not be able to get out of this door.

He couldn't be clearer about what these people in the pre-cadre department were doing, and the person in front of him today deliberately brought two people from the action group, the meaning couldn't be more obvious, it was tantamount to telling himself that he would not help him, if he did, if he did

Seeing that it was almost over, Zhou Yanming sighed and said, "Brother Shen, it's not that my brother doesn't want to help you, it's just that this matter is not easy to do." ”

"That means it can be done?" Shen Yan said with a smile.

Zhou Yanming patted him on the shoulder and smiled slightly: "Aren't things all done by people?" Besides, Commander Batu's request is also reasonable, but in the current special period of the National War of Resistance, not to mention the shortage of labor, the prisoners are also in serious management. It will take some time to go through the normal procedure, but I will do my best. ”

When Shen Yan heard this, he knew that he had eyebrows.

Zhou Yanming said again: "Since they are brothers, I really don't hide it." Brother Shen, this is looking for someone to extend the deadline to open a strip, especially this kind of strip that has been extended for a few years, it needs to be dotted up and down, so let's take some of it and take some of it to dot it, and you can take the rest back and give it back to Commander Batu. ”

As he spoke, he casually took out a few gold bars from the box and placed them in front of him.

Shen Yan knew that he was deliberately humble, how could he do things without taking money, but this week, he was very familiar with the rules of officialdom, and he had a set of things to do.

"That's not going to work! Brother Zhou, you must accept these. Shen Yan pushed the box in front of Zhou Yanming. Zhou Yanming pushed it back again. The two of them humbly let go like this, and after a while, Xu Ziming reconciled from it.

"I said Brother Zhou, since they are all your own brothers, don't be polite. Besides, this is not Brother Shen's own money, Commander Batu's face is always to be given, take this money, try your best to do things, and it is true when things are done. ”

After Xu Ziming said this, Zhou Yanming pretended to make a gesture and reluctantly accepted it.

The three of them drank and talked until late at night, and when they left, Zhou Yanming carried the heavy box in his arms, and did not dare to call a rickshaw, so he directly called a car in the bureau before sending him back.
