Lost and Spy

Chapter 181 A Train Encounter
As soon as Meng Shaoyuan was promoted, he was ordered to help Director Dai renovate his hometown house.

What a face-saving thing is this?
Everyone envied the two places.

Zhu Yanni and the others also kept muttering, why don't you take yourself when you go to Zhejiang?

I thought about playing alone.

They didn't know what a dangerous mission Meng Shaoyuan was going to carry out this time.

Maybe, there is no way to come back.

Top secret mission!

Meng Shaoyuan didn't say anything to anyone.

Only Tian Qi seemed to smell something faintly.

"The incident has just ended, we have too many things to do in Nanjing, and you have just been promoted, and the official letter of appointment has not yet come down. At this time, Director Dai sent you back to your hometown to get the blueprints? Is something wrong?"

Tian Qi is a very shrewd person.

"Don't ask so many questions, everything is working normally." Meng Shaoyuan smiled: "Lao Qi, the house is in your hands, and Cheng Depei will show me there. Also, Narumi Shimamoto and Mayu Nishimura are closely guarded. At the base, Strengthen training, hand over the selected people to Yue Zhenchuan for training, don't relax for a moment.

The first group will be handed over to you for the time being, my appointment has not yet been made, and the second group will not move for the time being, but pay more attention, whoever may become ours, whoever has no hope, will be squeezed out by me.Sooner or later, there will be rectification.Especially the candidates for several squadron leaders must be cautious, and it is best for them to be all of us. "

The more Tian Qi thought about it, the more it tasted bad.

Something must have happened.

"Other things, don't ask any more." Meng Shaoyuan's expression became serious: "You know the rules of our Lixing Society, you have to have a sense of what you should ask and what you shouldn't ask."

Tian Qi nodded silently: "No matter what you do, come back safely. Our group of people can lose anyone, but we can't lose you. If you are not here, the team will disperse."

"Well, I'm not here... Lao Qi, are you fucking cursing me to death? By the way, you go to Hangzhou for me."

"Go to Hangzhou, what to do?"

"There's a guy there who owes me a lot of money, and it's time for him to pay the interest... This guy can be of great use..."

……

From Nanjing to the northeast, the journey is long.

Trains, cars, and trains take turns.

Meng Shaoyuan only took a look at Luo and followed him.

His current identity is "Zhu Yanfan", the deputy general manager of "Shanghai Angus International Firm".

Going to the Northeast is mainly to buy mink fur and other Northeast specialty products and ship them to Hong Kong and other places.

And Luo Yiyi's identity is his housekeeper.

Wearing a Western-style suit, a black woolen coat, and a top hat, how amazing it is.

"Manager Zhu, are you going to the Northeast just like this?" Luo looked him up and down.

"Yeah, what's the matter? There are still rules on what to wear in the Northeast?"

"Cheng, Cheng, you wear it, you wear it. I can tell you in advance, in this season, in the Northeast, it is not enough to dress beautifully."

……

To go to the northeast, Nanjing is inconvenient, so I have to go to Shanghai.

From Shanghai all the way to Tianjin, then take a car to QHD, and then take a train out of Shanhaiguan.

Meng Shaoyuan bought a first-class car.

In order to show the dignity of being a person in this carriage, a big "I" is marked on the carriage.

As soon as you enter, you will know why the fare of the first-class train is so expensive.

The equipment in the carriage is gorgeous, the seats are large, the ground floor is carpeted, the dressing room, toilet and so on are all available.

Even the chairs are covered with velvet, once you sit down, your whole body will be snug and soft, supporting your whole body.

The decoration equipment of the second-class car is slightly inferior to that of the first-class car, but it is also an upholstered chair with a relatively spacious seat.

Waiting for the third-class car is completely different.

The seat is hard and extremely cramped.Especially at night, when the lights are dim and there are many people, it is impossible to read books, newspapers, or sleep, so everyone says that taking a third-class car at night is simply a hell of a trip.

Moreover, the position of the carriage is also particular.

In terms of passenger car arrangement, third-class cars are generally next to the locomotive, followed by second-class cars, and finally first-class cars.The reason is simple, the closer you are to the locomotive, the stronger the vibration.

If there is an accident on the train, the closer to the front of the train, the more dangerous it is.In addition, the closer you are to the locomotive, the more soot from the train floats, making your face dirty.

The first thing you do when you arrive at the station in a third-class train is to shake off the soot on your body.

However, in the cold winter, the arrangement of passenger cars will be reversed, the first-class car is closest to the locomotive, and the second-class and third-class cars will follow.This is because the hot water in the train heater comes from the boiler. Naturally, the closer you are to the locomotive, the hotter the heater will be.

There is a more important point, not only does the third-class car have no sleeper berths, but passengers are not allowed to enter the dining car.

"Manager Zhu, I'm enjoying the blessings with you." As soon as he entered the carriage, Luo was dazzled: "This is the first time for me to take a first-class train, and this is a countryman coming to the city, and everything is new. "

This is going to the Northeast to seek death... No, to die generously, you can't treat yourself badly when traveling.

Pooh, why do you always think of a dead word?

The train moves.

How comfortable it is to sit in a first-class car.

There are not many people in the first-class car, there are only nine people in total, more than half of them are foreigners.

This foreigner is also particular about taking the train.

Generally speaking, missionaries and employees of banks and foreign firms take second-class seats.

The people in the first-class car were either foreign businessmen, or those from a certain consulate, or foreign tourists visiting China.

There are only two teams of Chinese here.

Meng Shaoyuan and Luo glanced at a middle-aged man in a cotton gown.

The two sides also introduced themselves.

Of course Meng Shaoyuan wished to be the manager.

And on the business card that the middle-aged man handed over, it said "Xie Songshan, General Manager of Xinjing Daxi Firm".

From Changchun?
Meng Shaoyuan immediately paid attention.

This is the destination of my trip.

Immediately got close to him.

Xie Songshan often comes to Shanghai to do business, and Shanghai and Fengtian are flourishing.

As soon as he heard that "Manager Zhu" was going to the Northeast to purchase goods, Xie Songshan's eyes immediately lit up, and he kindly invited Meng Shaoyuan to go to his firm anyway, so that the two sides could discuss cooperation.

"Angus is a big foreign company. I wanted to negotiate business with the other party several times, but I couldn't get in. I never thought that at such a young age, Manager Zhu is actually Angus' deputy general manager."

Xie Songshan had a flattering expression on his face.

Well, Angus is indeed a big foreign company, but he doesn't know which way the gate opens.

As for Mrs. Qiangwei, I begged her to help me find an identity, but why did I set up such a big foreign company?
As for why he became the deputy general manager at a young age?
All with one mouth.

When it was time for dinner, Xie Songshan wanted to make friends with Meng Shaoyuan and insisted on treating him to dinner.

Meng Shaoyuan was not polite either.

After entering the restaurant, ordering food, and just chatting for a few words, a foreign couple passed by them, and when they turned around, they looked surprised: "Hey, Charles!"

Charles?
call yourself?
Charles Meng?

The foreigner then warmly extended his hand to Meng Shaoyuan: "Charles, why are you here? I didn't see you in the first-class car just now."

"Ah, I didn't pay attention either, it's great to meet you here..."

Meng Shaoyuan was at a loss, who is this?I don't even know his name.

The foreigner's wife asked in English: "Charles? Dear Allen, is this the Charles you keep talking about?"

"Yes, Charles, let me introduce, this is my wife Alice."

"Hello, Alice."

Meng Shaoyuan understood a little bit, this couple came to help him, right?

This woman called out "Dear Allen" on purpose, telling herself the name of this buddy there.

"Let me introduce you, Manager Xie Songshan Xie of Daxi Commercial Firm...this is..."

As soon as Meng Shao said the original words, Alan took out his business card and handed it over.

Hubert Allen, Director of the Board of Directors of Citibank Shanghai Branch.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, it's a pleasure to meet you." Xie Songshan cupped his hands repeatedly.

A few people simply dine together and chat casually there.

Luo Yiyi, as a "housekeeper", is not qualified to dine with them, so he sat at another table.

Meng Shaoyuan was a little absent-minded.

"Sorry, go to the bathroom."

Halfway through eating, Xie Songshan said hello, got up and went to the bathroom.

"Mrs. Cai." Alan said immediately after Xie Songshan left.

Madam Qiangwei, Cai Xuefei?
Meng Shaoyuan suddenly realized.

It turned out that Meng Shaoyuan asked Cai Xuefei to help him find an identity and asked Dongbei. As soon as Mrs. Qiangwei heard it, she knew that he was going to perform a mission again.

It just so happened that her friends Alan and Alice were also going to Tianjin. Cai Xuefei asked them to take the same train on purpose. If something happened, she would pretend to meet Meng Shaoyuan on the train and say hello to confirm Meng Shaoyuan's identity.

Sure enough, Alan saw Meng Shaoyuan chatting with a Chinese person as soon as he got into the car, and immediately found an opportunity to "encounter" Meng Shaoyuan in the dining car.

Well, I owe Madam Qiangwei another favor.

"Hey, Charles." Allen suddenly raised his voice: "After dinner, we will play cards together? The other people in the carriage are all Americans. Let me introduce you."

"Play cards, you guys play, I don't know how." Xie Songshan came back and sat down with a smile.

"I'm not particularly proficient." Meng Shaoyuan said very modestly.

……

From Shanghai to Tianjin, although the journey was long, the people in the first-class car all knew each other, had dinner together, and played cards together after dinner.

Meng Shaoyuan's card skills are really not very proficient.

They were playing Texas Hold'em.

Meng Shaoyuan, who is not very proficient in card skills, seems to be very lucky.

When the train finally entered Tianjin Station, the last deck of cards was over.

Allen stood up, and the Americans around him all had bitter expressions:

"Charles, your luck is too good. You won a lot in the past two days, right?"

"It's okay, it's okay." Meng Shaoyuan was always so humble: "It's more than 2 U.S. dollars. Sorry, I will treat you to dinner when I return to Shanghai."

"Hey." When everyone was busy packing their luggage, Allen grabbed Meng Shaoyuan's shoulder: "Honestly, do you know how to play cards?"

"Really not." Meng Shaoyuan looked innocent: "I don't even know how to gamble."
