Yuan Ye thought that the security here was quite tight.

After a while, the guard came out. His face was not as ugly as before, and his voice was not as harsh as before. It was obviously the effect of the phone call.

"Mr. Yuan, Secretary Chai told you to wait here for a moment. He will be out soon."

"it is good."

Yuan Ye smiled.

A few minutes later, a handsome young man walked towards the door.

Yuan Ye recognized it was Chai Ruhai at first glance. He was still as handsome and suave as ever. To be honest, Yuan Ye was a little jealous when he was in college. Not only was his family rich, but he was also so tall and handsome, and he charmed many female classmates. Fortunately, Li Ruyi didn't like him. This was the only comfort for Yuan Ye.

Yuan Ye waved and called from a distance:

"Master Chai!"

Chai Ruhai quickly walked over and shouted excitedly:

"Marshal Yuan, you are not dead!"

Yuan Ye smiled and said:

"You wish I were dead!"

Chai Ruhai laughed, looked down at his watch and said:

"This is not the place to talk. It's already twelve o'clock. Let's go to the restaurant across the street and have dinner and chat while we eat."

The two of them had a good relationship when they were in school. Chai Ruhai was very happy to see Yuan Ye was still alive. He knew that Yuan Ye and several classmates had joined the Jiangsu-Zhejiang Commando Team, and heard that they all died. Now Yuan Ye suddenly came to find him, which made him suspicious. He hadn't seen him for more than a year, and he didn't know what Yuan Ye was doing now. Was he an anti-Japanese element?

The two of them came to the Grand Hyatt Western Restaurant opposite the city hall. When the dishes they ordered were served, Chai Ruhai asked the waiter to open a bottle of red wine. After pouring it, Chai Ruhai picked up the wine glass and said to Yuan Ye:

"Come, let's have a drink to celebrate our long-awaited reunion!"

The two clinked their glasses and drank them all.

Chai Ruhai asked:

"Shi Kai, what have you been doing for the past year?"

Yuan Ye sighed and said:

"A year ago, I was also hot-headed and impulsive, and joined the Jiangsu-Zhejiang Special Forces. Later, during the Battle of Nanshi, Shanghai, I realized the cruelty of war.

This war is really impossible to fight. The Japanese have planes in the sky and tanks and cannons underground. We have nothing.

The troops suffered heavy losses, and several classmates in my class died. I was seriously injured and sent to the rear for treatment. Luckily, I survived. After I recovered from my injuries, I was disheartened and went home to recuperate for a few months. Later, I returned to Shanghai and found a job as a clerk in a trading company. Today, I read in the newspaper that you are the mayor's secretary, so I came to see you. "

The cover identity Chu Yuntian gave to Yuan Ye was an employee of a trading company, which could withstand investigation.

"Shi Kai, you are still lucky. Those classmates died in vain. What's the point? Living is the most important thing. Only those who know the current situation are heroes. Fighting the Japanese is like an egg hitting a stone.

Look, Chiang Kai-shek lost Nanjing, and then Wuhan. Now he is hiding in a mountain city. What kind of situation can he expect?

You are right to come back now, you were too impulsive at that time."

Chai Ruhai dispelled his suspicion of Yuan Ye and smiled.

"I now know that I was too impulsive at the time. Weren't you also a passionate young man at the time? Didn't you often take to the streets to participate in marches and petitions?"

Yuan Ye said unconvinced.

"Do you think I really wanted to participate? Didn't I want to pursue Li Ruyi at that time?"

"After I left, did you catch up with me?"

Chai Ruhai sighed and said:

"She has always been lukewarm towards me. No matter how many women throw themselves at me, I just don't like them. I don't know what kind of boyfriend she wants."

Yuan Ye felt very relieved when he heard this, but he didn't show it on his face and comforted her:

"Ru Hai, there are many better women than her. Why do you have to hang yourself on a tree? With your conditions, you can find any woman you want!"

"That's true. Mayor Fu's daughter has taken a fancy to me and has been pestering me every day. She is better than Li Ruyi in every way except that she is not as pretty as her."

Chai Ruhai looked very pleased with himself.

"Congratulations, buddy. If you become the mayor's son-in-law, you will be very successful in the future. Don't forget me then."

Yuan Ye complimented.

"Don't worry, that's natural. Shi Kai, I think you don't need to be a clerk anymore, just follow me from now on.

I am Mayor Fu's secretary and the chief of the first secretary department. My department mainly serves the mayor and deals with Japanese people. You know Japanese, and the department needs talents like you. "

Actually, Chai Ruhai wanted to develop his own team. He was the mayor's secretary, but he had only been in the position for less than a year. He knew that his foundation was still shallow, and if he wanted to move up in the future, he would need his own team. So he wanted to bring Yuan Ye under his command.

He was not worried at all about Yuan Ye's history of joining the Jiangsu-Zhejiang Rangers. Many high-ranking officials in the government were originally officials of the Kuomintang. They had also been vocal in resisting the Japanese before, and now they had suddenly changed their ways and joined the government supported by the Japanese to serve the Japanese.

Yuan Ye didn't expect Chai Ruhai to let him join the secretariat. This was a little beyond his expectations. He originally just wanted to establish a relationship with Chai Ruhai, which might be useful in the future.

This is a good opportunity. With such an identity, he will be exposed to a lot of useful information. However, Chu Yuntian doesn't know whether he will agree to this. After all, they are the action department, which focuses on action. Collecting and spying on intelligence is the job of the intelligence department. Will they step in and do something else?

Should I ask Chu Yuntian for permission? What if Chu Yuntian doesn’t agree?

Are we just going to watch this opportunity slip away?

What a pity!

Yuan Ye decided not to worry about all these things. It was all for the sake of resisting the Japanese. Why was it so clear-cut? He would just act first and report later. He had done such things before.

Of course, he couldn't agree right away, he should be reserved, so he looked at Chai Ruhai and said hesitantly:

"Ruhai, can I do this? You have to know that I am in a state of trauma and I am afraid of the Japanese."

Chai Ruhai laughed when he heard this and said:

"Do you think I'm not afraid? Even Mayor Fu is afraid. It won't matter once you get used to it. As long as you work hard for the Japanese, the Japanese won't do anything to you.

China is so big and has so many people. Do you think the Japanese alone can manage it?

They need our service, too.”

Yuan Ye cursed in his heart, you traitor running dog. But he said:

"You're right, that's indeed the truth.

Okay, I promise you, I really don't want to be that lousy employee anymore. The salary is low and there is no future. From now on, I will follow you and follow your lead."

Chai Ruhai was very happy to hear Yuan Ye say this, and said with satisfaction:

"That's right. People go to high places, and water flows to low places. I'll go and greet them, and you need to report in as soon as possible."

"Okay, I'll report back in the next two days after I finish what I'm doing."

After saying that, Yuan Ye picked up the wine glass.

"Cheers to Secretary Chai's future success!"

The two looked at each other, smiled, and drank.
