Lost and Spy

Chapter 231
Dining with big shots is definitely not a pleasant thing.

There are all kinds of rules to abide by, and most of the words can't be said indiscriminately, and even any sentence you say must be carefully thought out.

Perhaps one wrong sentence can completely ruin your future.

Meng Shaoyuan and Dai Li came early.

They came empty-handed.

The more you don't bring anything with you when you go to the house of these big shots, the more they can treat you as their own family.

The dishes on the table were not as rich as expected.

A total of four dishes and one soup.

It was originally agreed to be at 7 o'clock, but Kong Xiangxi didn't come back until it was almost [-] o'clock.

As soon as he came in, he apologized repeatedly: "It's late, it's late. When I was about to leave, I was called by the commissioner to talk about this year's financial projects. I'm really sorry."

Dai Li and Meng Shaoyuan stood up: "Minister Kong is busy with official duties, and the appointment is very important. We have nothing to do. We just waited for a few minutes."

In fact, Meng Shaoyuan also knew that Dai Li's words were absolutely wrong.

There are a lot of things waiting for his own two places.

"Come on, let's eat, let's eat."

Kong Xiangxi beckoned them to sit down, asked the servant to bring a bottle of foreign wine, and poured it into three wine cups: "Yunong, you drink a lot, drink more, I can only drink two or three cups with you."

No matter how much Dai Li drank, he couldn't drink recklessly like he did at Tang Zong's house that day.

"Xiao Meng." Kong Xiangxi's topic finally fell on Meng Shaoyuan: "I know all about what you did in Shanghai this time. You are very capable. I owe you a favor."

"Don't dare." Meng Shaoyuan said hastily: "It is right to work for Minister Kong."

It's not your Minister Kong's business, it's the committee chairman's business at all.

Know not to tell the truth, this is what all smart people do.

"Okay, it's good for young people to know how to be humble." Kong Xiangxi nodded slightly: "Two days ago, when he was sitting with the committee, he specifically mentioned you. You were not afraid of the airport and made the plane land safely. Before, I lent my wife a The car... I asked you when I saw you, is the car he gave you comfortable to sit in?"

"Comfortable, comfortable, much better than my previous car."

What Kong Xiangxi asked was nonsense.

Even if the chairman gave me a broken car, would I dare to say that it was uncomfortable to sit on?

However, Kong Xiangxi specifically mentioned the chairman, but also for other purposes.

This is to tell him there that the chairman thinks highly of him, so let him work harder for the chairman.

His boss, Meng Shaoyuan, had more than one Dai Li.

It's like a big company, Dai Li is a department director, but the real owner and management of this company is the chairman, general manager and chairman of the committee.

"Well, Yu Nong." Kong Xiangxi said immediately: "I have approved all the funds you reported. In addition, considering that after the Third Plenary Session of the Fifth Central Committee, your tasks will be more arduous, so after the approval of the chairman, I will give you a special grant. A sum of money has been added."

"Minister Kong, thank you very much, you have done me a great favor."

Dai Li hurriedly thanked him repeatedly.

The financial applications submitted by some units often have no follow-up for several months.

The supervisors of those units often stay in Nanjing, hoping to find someone who can speak up and approve them as soon as possible.

But how can it be so easy?

I heard that some departments, such as the "Ministry of Cultural Protection" established at the suggestion of the Americans, were originally Qingshui Yamen. I heard that the financial allocation last year is still in arrears.

Their minister lost his hair in handfuls in a hurry.

What can be done?This department is originally for foreigners to see, who will really take you seriously?

That minister, who worked well in the Ministry of Education before, didn't know which god he offended, and actually got him into such a Qingshui yamen.

For companies like Lixingshe, approving funds is relatively easier.

Especially now that Dai Li is being favored by the Chairman.

"Xiao Meng." Kong Xiangxi looked nonchalant: "I heard that you once rescued Tang Dujin? That is Song Ziwen's confidant. I think Song Ziwen also favors you."

Sure enough, I asked.

Fortunately, Dai Li had reminded himself before.

Meng Shaoyuan roughly explained how he rescued Song Ziwen: "Minister Kong, the situation is roughly like this...Meng Shaoyuan is just a spy. I don't know anything about Chairman Song's economic affairs. So I visited Chairman Song After one time, there is no communication."

Kong Xiangxi smiled in satisfaction.

This young man is really good, and he knows the truth about not being a fool.

"Let's talk about something serious." Kong Xiangxi is also a smart person, and this kind of topic is just passing by: "Yunong, you said that you want to set up an armed ranger to deal with emergencies. How is it going?"

"They are all preparing step by step." Dai Li immediately replied: "Among them, Meng Shaoyuan's special operations team was established in the form of an armed ranger. I plan to set up ten to fifteen such teams in the future..."

Why is Kong Xiangxi interested in these things?
Meng Shaoyuan found that Kong Xiangxi listened in great detail.

After Dai Li finished his introduction, Kong Xiangxi nodded slightly: "This is a good thing, we must do it as soon as possible. After the Third Plenary Session of the Fifth Central Committee, the country's trend has been clarified, and there are a lot of expenses in various places, but this armed ranger is very important. So, I am going to In addition, another sum of money will be allocated to you for special purposes, and this money will not go to the government's account."

Meng Shaoyuan suddenly realized.

Song Ziwen had previously established a private armed tax police headquarters, which was well-armed and not inferior to German weapon masters.

Kong Xiangxi is jealous, and he and Song Ziwen have conflicts and compete with each other. This is to follow the example of setting up a military force.

It's a pity, his talent is not as good as Song Ziwen's.

Song Ziwen of the Tax Police Headquarters is completely in control, and the officers are all his people.

What about Kong Xiangxi?

Actually want to use the Lixing Society to build an armed force loyal to oneself?
joke.

Dai Li is a generation of heroes who only know his allegiance to the Chairman, how could he use the armed forces of the Lixingshe for your use?
At most, it is just with the help of your financial power.

In addition, once the Anti-Japanese War broke out, all the armed rangers would be thrown into the battlefield, and Kong Xiangxi's careful planning would be in vain.

Dai Li also knew this very well, and said calmly: "This is very good. With Minister Kong's full support, it will be much easier to do things. Meng Shaoyuan's special operations team is the template, and the focus is on support. Form it as a special operations team."

Meng Shaoyuan found that the meal was worth it.

The intrigue, jealousy, and intrigue among the upper echelons have actually allowed me to take advantage of it.

Originally, most of the funds for the special operations team were paid by themselves, but now there are officials to help them with the money.
