"Lao Yu, you are not righteous!" In a restaurant room full of alcohol and smoke, a lieutenant colonel officer wearing a military uniform but with his arms open was holding Yu Haiguang's shoulder with one hand and holding a cup with his other hand. Hold a full glass of white wine, pretending to drink it in the sea light. Instead of trying to stop the lieutenant colonel, the others here kept making noises, trying to force Yu Haiguang to drink the glass of liquor. "Lao Yu, you must drink this glass of wine today, and not even a drop is left!"
Yu Haiguang had drank a lot, and his originally dark and red face now had a faint bluish-white color. People who had been drinking all year round would know that this person could no longer drink anymore when he looked at his appearance. Yu Haiguang felt his throat was itchy and was about to vomit on the spot. Naturally, he desperately refused, but the lieutenant colonel did not want to let him go. "No...I really can't...if I drink any more, I'm going to vomit!"
Yu Haiguang felt that he was not in a good state and could hardly speak clearly. If he hadn't bit the tip of his tongue cruelly, he might not have been able to complete the sentence. Yu Haiguang looked like he had drunk too much now, but the other people in the private room seemed unwilling to let Haiguang go. "Lao Yu, I can tell you that we all entered the military system at the same time. There are not many old people left in the same group as us. You can't become the chief of Chongqing Station and ignore us old people. Are you brothers?"
A fat man sitting opposite Yu Haiguang grabbed the wine glass in front of him with a smile. Not only did he drink up the wine in the glass with a quick movement, he also deliberately flashed the bottom of the glass at Yu Haiguang. Yu Haiguang was helpless after being repeatedly persuaded to drink. He had to endure the discomfort and poured the wine from the glass into his mouth. But what no one expected was that Yu Haiguang poured the drink into his mouth and immediately vomited without restraint.
Yu Haiguang forcefully drank wine until he vomited on the spot. Only then did everyone in the private room quiet down, and everyone focused their attention on the lieutenant colonel. "Lao He, the fat-headed fish is also drunk. Why don't you tell us what your plan is? With so many of us gathering together, we can't just come and eat him, right?" The speaker was still here at this moment. The fat man was drinking neatly just now, but the cup in front of him had been replaced with hot tea.
The lieutenant colonel, who was still drunk and dazed before, had already sat up straight, and there was no trace of drunkenness on his face. "You guys, don't always call me Lao Yu as a fat-headed fish from now on. He is also the chief of Chongqing Station now. If he really turns his back, he may not be the one who suffers." The lieutenant colonel officer who was called Lao He by everyone, After looking around, he lit a cigarette and started talking about business.
"The war ahead is unfavorable, and a large number of government agencies will go south to Chongqing one after another. As early as two months ago, I had arranged for people to come to Chongqing to make preparations in advance. The housing prices at that time were not very high, but look at now, in Chongqing city Housing prices in Chongqing change three times a day. With our little family resources, even if we buy a house in Chongqing, we probably won’t have much money left. We all have families and families, and we can’t afford to have a family just for the sake of a house. Are you going to eat or drink?"
The officer surnamed Lieutenant Colonel He and everyone in the private room were the first batch of personnel from the Military Command Headquarters to go south. They were in Wuhan before. Although they were not as good as in Nanjing, they still had enough food and clothing. But after coming to Chongqing, these people who originally wanted to live a free and easy life suddenly found that it was almost impossible for them to live a free and easy life in Chongqing with their little wealth. The ridiculously high housing prices have frustrated many of their plans to buy a house to settle their families.
Even if they rent a house, they are regarded as outsiders by Chongqing people and will not be able to find suitable housing for a while. The officer surnamed He and Yu Haiguang joined the military in the same batch. Although their relationship is not very good, the only one they can turn to for help now is Yu Haiguang. After all, Yu Haiguang is the chief of the Chongqing Station. But just before the banquet started, the officer surnamed He happened to overhear the conversation between Yu Haiguang and his subordinates, and then he realized that Yu Haiguang had no intention of helping at all, so the drinking scene happened in the private room.
The officer surnamed He turned his head and glanced at Yu Haiguang, who was lying drunk at the table, and then said loudly, "I am a man who only cares about himself. I don't think he will help us with our affairs. But after all, he is the station of Chongqing Station." Commander, when we get along with each other in the future, it is best for everyone to keep it in check, so as not to be tricked by others without you knowing it." The words of the officer surnamed He made everyone present secretly nod their heads. Almost everyone who can appear in this wine shop They are all familiar acquaintances.
"I received a telegram from Lao Tian in the afternoon. The next batch of Lao Tian will come to Chongqing. According to him, Zhang Jianghe is better off than Yu Haiguang now. We people, although we don't have a good relationship with Zhang Jianghe, can still be considered. He is an old man from the military command. I personally feel that at this time, don’t worry about face all the time. The most important thing is to take good care of your family. Lao Tian said that Zhang Jiang and this person are pretty decent people who take soft things but not hard ones. Honesty."
As soon as the officer surnamed He finished speaking, someone immediately said, "Old He, you are not thinking of finding Zhang Jianghe, are you? Don't forget that when Zhang Jianghe was transferred from the Nanjing headquarters, we people were behind it It was a push. At that time, no one at the headquarters thought Chongqing was a good place. Moreover, when Zhang Jianghe came to Chongqing, he heard that he only came to Chongqing with three or four close followers. He was almost a polished commander who came to Chongqing. .”
The person who was talking had drunk a little too much. When he was talking, he didn't even notice that the expressions of the other people at the wine table had changed. The military command seems to be monolithic, but in fact, like other departments of the government, internal factions are constantly fighting. Even officers surnamed He and others who don't like to fight are still forming small hills to keep warm. When Zhang Jianghe was at the Nanjing headquarters before, he was also a Sanren, but he was from Huangpu and was disliked by the officer surnamed He and the other real Sanren.
When Zhang Jianghe took the initiative to apply for transfer to Chongqing, the group of people led by the officer surnamed He secretly did a lot of tricks. Thinking about it now, what they did back then was indeed a bit unfair. If they had to turn around and now need to turn to Zhang Jianghe for help, they probably shouldn't have done those little tricks in the first place. After hearing this, the officer surnamed He put down the tea cup in his hand and sighed secretly, and the expression on his face became richer.
"There's no way! When Zhang Jianghe was at the Nanjing headquarters before, he didn't stand out. Who would have thought that they would be much better than us! You have also been around the city in the past two days. , you should know what the situation is like in the city! I have talked with Lao Yu in the past two days, and he said that after Zhang Jianghe was transferred to Chongqing, he often arrested Japanese and puppet spies in the city. The headquarters ordered Zhang Jianghe to form a special investigation team. I want to come They took a fancy to Zhang Jianghe’s ability to capture Japanese and puppet spies and the temperament of the bureau chief. Everyone should know that Zhang Jianghe is a direct descendant of the bureau chief!”
When the officer surnamed He said this, he was actually implying that if he didn't hug Zhang Jianghe's thigh at this moment, he might not have such a good opportunity in the future. "That's good! I didn't expect that it's been a while since I last saw you. Lao He's ability to judge people has improved so much!" As soon as the officer surnamed He finished speaking, the door of the private room was pushed open from the outside, with a smile on his face. Bai Zhanshan came in from outside the private room. How could it be Bai Zhanshan? After everyone in the wine shop saw clearly that it was Bai Zhanshan who came in, they all had doubts in their hearts.
Bai Zhanshan has been at the military command headquarters for a long time, so he naturally knows the officers surnamed He, but their relationship is not as close as that between him and Zhang Jianghe. Bai Zhanshan's appearance was actually not sudden. When Officer He and his group invited Yu Haiguang to the wine party, they were secretly watched by people arranged by Bai Zhanshan. Bai Zhanshan, who entered the private room, didn't care about the way Officer He and others were eyeing him. He just checked on Yu Haiguang, who was already asleep, and then pulled up a chair and sat down next to Officer He.
"Lao He, you guys are not honest! When I was in Wuhan, I always told you to drink. Now in Chongqing, you go out to drink and eat meat, and you didn't even think of telling me! What's the matter! You're worried that I'll make you poor!" Bai Zhanshan said provocative words, but there was always a smile on his face. It seemed that he was talking deliberately, so people like the officer surnamed He didn't pay too much attention.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Bai Zhanshan gradually sat up straight, and the smile on his face disappeared a lot. "Forget it, since you don't welcome Mr. Bai, I'll keep the story short! I'm here today just to be entrusted by others. Before you came to Chongqing, Lao Tian sent a telegram to Zhang Jianghe, asking Zhang Jianghe to take care of you. . Zhang Jianghe is a loyal person. He guessed that you must be dragging your family south to Chongqing. What you need most is a house." When Bai Zhanshan mentioned the house in his words, the officer surnamed He and the others finally looked up at Bai Zhanshan.
"We don't have many houses. Most of the houses that were seized during previous cases were requisitioned by higher-level units. Zhang Jianghe and I asked some local friends for help and exchanged two houses with them in the city. The area of those two courtyards is not small. They only need simple repairs and renovations, and they are enough to accommodate your family. Here are the keys and addresses. Although the two courtyards cannot be transferred, you can always live in them without paying rent. "
There is a free house to live in. Before the officer surnamed He said anything, other people at the wine table had already picked up the wine glasses in front of them and expressed their gratitude to Bai Zhanshan. "Old Bai, I have to thank you for making peace with Zhang Jiang, otherwise, my family would have to continue to live in the hotel. Come on, come on, I'll drink this drink, you can do whatever you want!" The atmosphere instantly became lively, and even the officer surnamed He took Bai Zhanshan to drink several drinks in a row.
