After talking about serious matters, Minglou poured wine for Wang Yan, raised his glass and said with a smile: "I already know about my sister. You helped me get a batch of goods from my teacher Wang Furui, and asked my sister to Use your sign to thank you for your care and help. I’d like to toast you in Minglou.”
Wang Yan nodded with a smile, bumped into him, drank the wine, put some food between his hands, and said while eating: "Actually, it's not much help. Using people's money to eliminate disasters, Miss Ming is very good at this point. Generous. For 50,000 yuan of medicine, Mr. Wang just moved his mouth and gave me 10,000 yuan. This money is very profitable."
"You are joking. With your status, why would you care about the ten thousand US dollars? There are many people in Shanghai who want to send you money, but Minglou has not heard of many people who can actually send the money to you. On hand. Not to mention that your brand is used casually? My sister is used to being in trouble, so she will take you seriously, so what can you do? Now Minglou is back, working in the new government again, and also working part-time as the deputy director of the Special Committee , If anything happens in the future, just give me your orders. If you can do it, Minglou will not refuse."
Mingjing acts under Wang Yan's name. Mingjing himself said so last time when he withheld goods because of Wang Furui. Speaking is something that has different meanings depending on the environment, tone, demeanor, etc.
Ming Jing told him that he was his neighbor on the outside, and it felt polite inside. After all, he had said before that Ming Jing could come to him to solve any problems. But in fact, he didn't know very well whether Mingjing really played his brand.
Now it seems that Der Spiegel is really using it. Needless to say, when she was targeted, as long as she calmly said that she and Wang Yan were neighbors, had given gifts during the move, and had dinner together, that would be enough to avoid 90% of the trouble. And those people did not have the opportunity to come to Wang Yan to confirm, and even if they had the opportunity, they did not have the courage to ask.
As for those who can talk to Wang Yan, like Wang Furui, if Mingjing cannot solve the problem, they will come to Wang Yan for help. In this way, Wang Yan will not be troubled. And after the thing is done, it will be more convenient for her to make a sign next time, because there are examples that can be verified. Wang Yan did open his mouth to help Ming Jing.
Therefore, although Mingjing sometimes has no brains, sometimes he still has enough brains, otherwise he would not be able to run the Ming family's industry well...
Wang Yan waved his hand: "You should be aware of my reputation. Everyone in Shanghai, from celebrities and tycoons to traffickers and lackeys, knows that Wang is greedy for life, afraid of death, greedy for money and lustful. You don't need to praise me so highly. As far as I know , Miss Ming is a capable person, otherwise you think Wang’s brand is so easy to use?”
Perhaps knowing that Wang Yan was greedy for money and lust, Minglou frowned, but he still kept a polite and low-key attitude: "What do you mean?"
Seeing him like that, Wang Yan knew that he was wrong. He shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It seems that Wang is really notorious, and his greed for money and lust is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. But don't get me wrong, I have no other intentions towards Miss Ming. I mean is on the other hand."
"On the other hand, it means..."
"Red Party."
"Red Party?"
Minglou was calm and composed, and even his eyes did not change. His frown deepened, indicating that he did not understand: "You said that my sister is a red party member? Impossible! I don't know her well? She took over the Ming family at the age of seventeen. , because she cannot handle the family business if she marries outside, she has not married yet, and she only wants to keep the family business passed down from the Ming family. She just thought that if we brothers start a family, she can hand over the family business and give it to We take care of our children and enjoy a comfortable life. How could she be a red party member?"
"You may be a red party member, I may be a red party member, anyone may be a red party member, how can it be impossible for Miss Ming?"
Seeing Wang Yan's suddenly serious face, Minglou couldn't maintain it no matter how good his acting skills were. His pupils shrank and his face twitched for a moment. Because he was really a member of the Red Party, he saw that Wang Yan was serious but not fake. He was unable to grasp the accurate situation and felt uncertain, so he lost his composure for a moment.
He waved his hands and laughed, shaking his head repeatedly: "You are joking, Mr. Wang. I have talked about you with Mr. Zhou Fuhai, Mr. Eiichi Iwai, and Section Chief Minamida of the Special Higher Education Course, and they all agreed that everyone has it. It may be a red party, but you are not possible. They say that you are an extremely selfish person, and you are also someone who does not like to play small tricks. You keep everything on the surface. They say that your only secret is your wealth, this is a
A secret that even you don't know. "
Seeing Wang Yan laugh out loud at being praised, he continued: "As for Minglou, to be honest, I don't like the Japanese and Wang Zhaoming and others, but as you said, people have to bow their heads under the eaves. They put I was called back from the UK. If I refused, I would lose my head and a different place in the UK. So even though I work under Wang Zhaoming now, I can’t help but just make a living. As for my sister, she is doing her job. Many businessmen do have objections to the Japanese having sex with men and women, but they will never risk the annihilation of the Ming family to get involved in those things."
"You are right, but I am overthinking it. But it doesn't matter if Miss Ming is really a red party. I still do business with the red party, and I sell penicillin exclusively. I have made a lot of money by following the red party. But I don’t care, and that doesn’t mean others don’t care either. If someone gets caught, it will be dangerous. There is no such thing as perfect in the world, and there are many things that can be followed. Miss Ming, please be careful."
Wang Yan suddenly changed his smile and raised his glass to invite a drink: "Look at me, I just eat carrots and don't worry about things. I talk too much. Come, have a drink."
"Thank you for your concern, I respect you."
The two of them ate and drank, chatting about the economy, the domestic and international situation, and the local customs. Although he had long known that Wang Yan was well-read and an educated person, it was only after he came into contact with him this time that he understood what Wang Yan was like. Such a person has so many identities and is trying to survive among many forces. He has to admit that there are really no fake people under the famous name. Wang Yan is more terrifying than the legend...
While Minglou and Mingcheng were paying their respects, Wang Yan got on Qisi and drove back to the concession.
"How was your chat with Mingcheng?"
Qi Si let out a long breath: "I am not his opponent, and I have never talked to him."
Wang Yan laughed and said, "What's the point? Mingcheng is ten years older than you and has only ten more experiences than you. He has traveled all over the country and even went to foreign countries. It's normal that he can't talk to him. What did you say?"
"It's nothing, I just asked about you briefly, and the rest is to talk about what I did all day. I also said that I would like to fall in love with you, and we would go out and have fun together when we have nothing to do in the future."
"Then what did you find out from him?"
"It always rains in London..." Qi Si talked about the foreign things he learned from Mingcheng. He was quite excited at first, but as he talked, he felt boring: "This Mingcheng is not simple."
His voice was low and his tone was firm, indicating that he was serious and hoped that Wang Yan would take it seriously, but he was still a little childish.
"In this day and age, who can live a nourishing life?"
"Then what if he comes to me in the future?"
"Go with him. You know what to say and what not to say. Just fool around with him. It doesn't cost you money anyway. Just have fun."
"I think so. I don't have much money. Brother Shi is still careless. He is so rich and yet he wants me to pay for his fun outing. It's really..."
Wang Yan laughed and listened to Qi Si complaining about Shi Changxing bullying children, which was quite interesting. Shi Changxing was more active and loved to play and make trouble. He would tease Qi Si, a silly boy, whenever he had nothing to do.
At the entrance of the hotel, watching the car drive away, Minglou let out a sigh of relief and followed Mingcheng into the car and left: "Go home."
"Brother, what happened?"
"Wang Yan said that the eldest sister is a red party member."
"What?" Mingcheng stabilized his mind and kept the vehicle running normally: "Wang Yan, do you have evidence?"
"He said that nothing in this world is perfect." Minglou recalled the previous scene, thinking about Wang Yan's demeanor and tone: "I think he must have got some information. A person like him, Everything he said and did was on point, otherwise he wouldn't have told me these things. As for the evidence, do you think that's important?
What he wants is not evidence, what he wants is someone who knows who is who, so that he can use or avoid it to maintain the current balance. But you can rest assured that he is doing business with the Red Party openly and only for penicillin. Therefore, even if the eldest sister is really a Red Party member, even if he really has some evidence, he will never betray the eldest sister unless he feels guilty. Long. "
「
Then what will you tell eldest sister when you go back? "
"Of course I'm telling you directly. It's not like you don't know my eldest sister's temper. She's beating me to death even though she's beating around the bush? Well, I'll make it clear when I go back and ask my eldest sister about these things. It's not a big problem. Wang Yan can be trusted, otherwise Yan'an won't do business with him. How was the conversation with that Qi Si?"
"It's okay. That kid is still young and has no morals. What I learned is basically consistent with what I learned from Yu Manli. Wang Yan really has no secrets. But I still feel something is wrong. How can a person have no secrets?"
"The Japanese also think so, Wang Zhaoming and Zhou Fuhai also think so, Dai Yunong and Wang Tianfeng also think so, and perhaps the organization also thinks so. But they have not found Wang Yan's secret, the only secret, No one knows how much money he has. He is an extremely smart and cunning person, and he knows that only in this way can he survive in the cracks.
You also know his resume, and every step he takes is solid. Although his rise has been dramatic in the past two years, it is also due to the current situation and his accumulated experience. And what he always adheres to is that he does not resist Japan, but he cannot block others from doing things. If he had any other ideas, he would have died last year and would not be alive now. So we don’t need to pay too much attention to him. Our target is still the Japanese and the Wang Puppet Group. "
Mingcheng nodded, and then asked: "I met Yu Manli last night and showed her true face. Ming Manli and Wang Manli are neighbors, and we will definitely see them in the future. Wang Yan is not an ordinary person. Yu Manli told me It’s not like she’s very wealthy, and she goes to the prince’s mansion every now and then. There will definitely be times when she bumps into her in the future, and she won’t be able to hide it from Wang Yan. What will she do then?”
"As I said before, Wang Yan himself does not resist Japan, but he will not stop others from resisting Japan. Even if he knows, it doesn't matter. This is why I asked you to use the code name "Viper" to meet Yu Manli. If exposed, Wang Yan will only know you. Of course, he will definitely doubt me, but it doesn't matter even if he knows, it will make it easier to use his power to do things in the future. You didn't see the letter Wang Tianfeng gave me. In fact, Wang Yan knows much more than we thought.
Before the military commander suffered losses, Wang Yan knew the military commander's many liaison stations in the French Concession. At the same time, he also remembered the faces of at least dozens of military commanders. In other words, the previous actions of the military commander were carried out under his nose. But the fact that there have been no problems for so long is proof enough that he can be trusted.
On the other hand, since he can find the liaison station of the military commander and remember the appearance of the personnel, then why can't he find the liaison station of the Red Party and remember the appearance of the Red Party personnel? He joined the Central Patrol Bureau in the 17th year of the Republic of China. At that time, the Communist Party was targeting the Red Party. However, by the July 7th Incident in the 26th year of the Republic of China, he had not betrayed the Red Party during these nine years.
And you also know about his parents. In the early days, they were workers' representatives in Shanghai, which is also related to the Red Party. It was these things that allowed him to do business with the Red Party for many years, and now he was able to sell penicillin exclusively. Don't worry, this person is still very reliable. "
Wang Tianfeng is a very responsible person. After he decided to leave, he told Minglou all the information he had about Wang Yan, so that Minglou could make a judgment and decide how to contact him.
Based on the information he knew, Minglou's judgment on Wang Yan was basically the same as Wang Tianfeng's. It works, but I don't expect any more. The main reason is that Wang Yan has too much power in Shanghai, even more powerful than Du Yong back then, and he can't get around it in anything. Even if he bypassed it, Wang Yan would know afterwards that no matter big or small could be hidden from him.
Mingcheng said he understood and didn't ask any more questions. Minglou leaned back on his seat tiredly. It was too much trouble to talk to someone like Wang Yan. Every word he said had to be carefully considered. He also had to analyze the intention of Wang Yan's words and pay attention to expression management. It was too exhausting.
But after a while of silence, Mingcheng, who was driving in front, suddenly said, "Didn't you two talk about Wang Manchun?"
"What do you want to talk about?"
"It's impossible for Wang Yan not to know what happened between you and Wang Manchun in the past, and it's also impossible for him not to know that you already know about the relationship between him and Wang Manchun. Why is there nothing to talk about?"
"Are you telling me tongue twisters here?" Minglou was a little annoyed. He knew that Mingcheng was deliberately looking at his smile.
He said: "How many years have it been since Wang Manchun and I? Now she has become the executioner of No. 76, what can you say?"
"I don't think so. In the two days since you came back, Wang Manchun has been ogling you."
"I look at you just to see my jokes. She may have feelings for me, but that's because of what happened before. To say how much real feelings there are, it's just a joke. Otherwise, how could she arrange for someone to investigate me? Are you still testing me? You just have to deal with it, let her play with Wang Yan."
"I guess Wang Yan is really playing with her, just to deal with the Japanese. Wang Manchun is very beautiful, which suits his taste. People like him don't care about women."
"Since you know everything, why do you talk so much nonsense? Drive your car well..."
Looking at Minglou's furious look through the rearview mirror, Mingcheng laughed...
In Ming's mansion, Ming Jing was sitting on the sofa in the living room reading the newspaper. When he saw Ming Lou and Ming Cheng coming back, he asked, "Aren't you working for a big man and a woman? Why did you come back at noon?"
She was still angry because Minglou did not come back to see her as soon as possible after returning to Shanghai, and even more because he worked for the Wang Puppet Government like a Han woman.
Minglou didn't bother with this and went straight to the point: "Sister, I have something to tell you. Let's go to the study to talk."
After saying that, he turned around and entered the study room on the first floor.
Ming Jing put down the newspaper without knowing why, and looked at Mingcheng standing aside: "What's going on, so mysterious?"
"I don't know either, eldest sister, you'd better ask eldest brother." Mingcheng shrugged, picked up the newspaper and sat there to read it himself.
"I see, you are all going to rebel. When you grow up, no one will listen to what I, the eldest sister, say. Mingtai is the best, and you two can't point it out."
Ming Jing kept mumbling, but still went to the study and sat down on the sofa: "Tell me, what's the matter?"
Minglou closed the door, walked over and sat aside: "Sister, tell me the truth, are you a red party member?"
..."What are you talking about? I am devoted to running the Ming family's industry, how can I have anything to do with those people? I scolded them for being a Han woman, because I am Chinese and I can't stand them, but that's not the case It means that I am a red party member. Who said I am a red party member? Do they still want to arrest me? Is it Wang Manchun, that snake-hearted woman? There is no good person in the Wang family."
After a moment of confusion, Ming Jing looked unhappy, denied it, spoke firmly, and tried to change the subject.
Ming Jing's response was normal, but her reaction just now, in Ming Lou's eyes, was the answer.
He sighed: "I had lunch with Wang Yan at noon. What he told me, do you think he was wrong?"
"Then I acted under his name, why didn't he come to me?" Ming Jing seemed to be well prepared and confident.
Minglou was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses: "You mean, your superiors instructed you to do this? They just confirmed it, and even if Wang Yan knew it, he would treat it as if he didn't know anything?"
"What about superiors and subordinates? I am not a red party member. Besides, when I am in trouble, I just mention that he is a neighbor of our family and don't say anything else. What does it matter? Who can't take advantage of it? "
Organized and disciplined, even if his own father is resurrected, he cannot admit it. Minglou understands very well. He shook his head and said: "There is no such thing as perfect in the world. Many things have traces to follow. Miss Ming, please be careful. This Those were Wang Yan's exact words, and he was right. Sister, I won't say anything if you join the Red Party, but you must be careful and be cautious in doing things.
When I came back, Wang Manchun sent someone to investigate my past. Will she investigate our Ming family's property? When we discover some clues, if we follow the clues, it will be a small thing to damage our Ming family, but it will be a big deal to damage the lives of other anti-Japanese comrades from the Red Party..."
Ming Jing did not answer, but frowned and asked, "If you have this awareness, why do you want to work for Wang Zhaoming?"
"You have your party and missions, and I naturally have mine. Sister, you must be careful when you act. During this time, take stock of your affairs.
Next, see where there are still problems and avoid any omissions. "
"You mean, you are a *** person?"
"Okay, eldest sister, let's stop here." Minglou smiled, rubbed his head and said, "Wang Yan is indeed a man of the world. He has a good drinker. I'm so drunk now that I feel really uncomfortable. I'll go and let him go. Ah Xiang made a bowl of hangover soup, and after finishing it, she had to do something. There are too many things to do in preparing for the establishment of a new government..."
Ming Jing took a long breath, stood up and glared at Ming Lou: "If you can't drink, just drink less. It's not easy to worry at such an old age. Wait..."
Having said that, he turned around and left, his footsteps very brisk, and a little bit excited...
