The orchestra played sweet music again, as if what happened just now had never happened at all.

The guards and the red-headed Asan took away all the madmen, the injured, and the stunned followers.

"Gentlemen, it has been taken care of. Several Chinese people drank too much." Daisy calmly told General Director Arnold and Fan Kering (CS F

a

kli

) the vice president replied.

"These, these people are really vulgar and don't understand any real etiquette..." Fan Kering said with a frown.

"Don't get along with these people. They are not civilized people." Mr. General Manager still maintained his usual self-cultivation and arrogance.

"But that young man seemed to have subdued them all at once?" said a director who had been paying attention to the venue for a long time.

"That's Jack Ma, the general manager of Tianma Yang Company." Daisy introduced without any emotion in her words.

"Oh, Daisy, invite him over. Let's get to know this brave young man..." the general manager ordered.

Although there was an unpleasant episode, in the end, the dinner ended in a pleasant atmosphere.

Early the next morning, Ji Yunqing was at home.

There were newspapers everywhere in the living room with the following headlines:

"A shocking murder occurred in Licha Hotel",

"A high-ranking government official and a tycoon's son were fighting each other in the hotel,"

"Breaking out the brains, is this a distortion of human nature or a loss of morality?"

"Two men who fell in love and killed each other"



Ji Yunqing's face turned gloomy, he picked up a newspaper tremblingly, and threw it out...

Fourth Young Master Ji Mingli was kneeling on the ground, his head wrapped in a bandage like a rice dumpling. Lying on a stretcher.

"You rebellious son, what's the use of raising you? I might as well raise a dog..." Ji Yunqing was almost in tears.

Although he came from a shameless gangster background, Ji Yunqing has paid special attention to his face since he became a tycoon. This time, he was doing it with his bare buttocks - it was embarrassing to turn around.

And the embarrassing place this time is the Licha Hotel, the top place in Shanghai. It was not easy to find a way to get on the line with the Ministry of Industry and Commerce Bureau. What a great opportunity yesterday! It was just mixed up.

Thinking that these idiots were thrown out by the British guards and the red-headed Asan, the perpetrators of the beatings were not only unable to be held accountable, but also had to come to offer condolences and apologize. Ji Yunqing secretly swallowed many mouthfuls of old blood.

"This was not my son's idea, it was Section Chief Huang..." the fourth young master replied.

"You bastard, didn't you look at that little girl's beauty and you got a bad idea? Who do you want to kick the iron plate?" the old guy scolded.

"My family is unlucky, my family is unlucky." The old guy got more and more angry as he spoke, beating his chest and feet, and suddenly he got so angry that he passed away again.

Several concubines also kept crying and wiping away tears.

"Master (godfather), please calm down. Didn't Mingli fall into that kid's plot? That kid is very bad. No one expected that a dignified foreign bank manager would do such a dirty trick..." Apprentice Wu Sibao He and his goddaughter She Aizhen kept trying to persuade him.

The legendary "Thirteen Taibao" knelt in a row at the back, silent.

This is an awards ceremony...

The awards hall was decorated luxuriously and grandly, and there were many guests.

The host was very excited on the stage and announced loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, we will now award the awards for this performance..."

Sitting in the first row of guests were Mr. Jack Ma, Mr. Kevin White, MISS Liu, Ju Ran Yang Paul and other guests were also invited to attend...

"First of all, the first important award we give out is - the Best Actor Award," the host announced.

Unexpectedly, the highlight was at the beginning. After hearing this, Mr. Jack Ma adjusted his dress.

"The best actor is Mr. Kevin White! Let us congratulate him with warm applause!" The host's voice rose three times.

"How is it possible? This is unscientific!" Mr. Jack Ma was angry. He suspected that there was a shady secret behind this award!

"Oh, sir, our awards are jointly selected by a jury composed of experts and well-known artists from all over the world and the audience. They are absolutely fair, just and open..." The host was very well-mannered and softened his tone to Jack. Mr. Ma explained.

"Sir, the jury unanimously agreed that Mr. Kevin White's performance in this performance was natural and vivid, and he showed the sophistication, tact and cunning of a foreign comprador very well. His performance was traceless and advanced the story. It's a crucial role! What's especially important is that he chose the bottle of Latour just right..." the host explained patiently.

"As for you, your performance is too superficial and has no sense of hierarchy at all. The whole performance is exaggerated and superficial, and it completely fails to reflect the emotions of a young man who has been bullied, insulted and hurt." The host added.

"This..." Upon hearing this, Mr. Jack Ma was speechless and somewhat speechless.

"Next, we would also like to congratulate the two ladies, Jenny Smart and Daisy Williams, who played an important role in this performance!" the host announced again very excitedly, his voice raised five degrees. .

"Ladies and gentlemen, don't underestimate the role of supporting characters. Throughout the performance, these two ladies cooperated with the protagonist very well to advance the story. Their performances were three-dimensional and vivid. The jury unanimously decided to put them side by side..." the host also added While chattering, Mr. Jack Ma is about to go berserk.



"Finally, let us witness this great moment together. I declare that the best actress in this performance is - MISS Liu, Ms. Liu Shuxi!" The host's voice was raised an octave, and he was not afraid of breaking his voice. Said loudly.

"No, I protest!" Mr. Jack Ma was extremely angry. Although the relationship between Miss Liu and him was extraordinary, as a gentleman with a sense of justice, Mr. Jack Ma could not allow shady stories to appear!

"She doesn't have a single key line!" Mr. Jack Ma said angrily.

"No, no, no, sir, you are wrong. MISS Liu played a very good role in this performance as a woman who was bullied, wronged and forbearing. Although she had no lines, she won over the audience with her outstanding acting skills. The attention of MISS Liu completely became the focus of the audience, attracting the attention of everyone present at the time, and played a vital and unique role in advancing the entire story. Although MISS Liu did not have a single line, to use an ancient Chinese saying That's it - silence is better than sound at this time! This is the highest level of performance! So the jury and all the audience unanimously voted MISS Liu as the best actress of this performance! She deserves it!" the host said without pause. announced the much-anticipated news.

"No, no, you can't do this, I don't agree!"

"Jack, what's wrong with you?" Jack Ma heard someone calling him next to him, and someone pushing him...

Open your eyes, isn't this your own office in Zilin Building on the Bund? Next to him, Miss Liu Zheng was holding a cup of coffee and looking at him with concern. He was not as cold as yesterday at the reception. It was Kevin who pushed him. His foreign friends also looked at him with concern, but his eye circles were a bit swollen, obviously he had not rested well.

"What's wrong with me?" Ma Xiaoguang asked a little confused.

"You fell asleep. This spring is the easiest time to make people sleepy. If you want to sleep, you need to put on a coat or find a blanket. It's still a bit cold in the morning. Be careful of catching a cold. Drink a cup of hot coffee first." MISS Liu said softly.

"Mo Dan, I was dreaming just now." Ma Xiaoguang came back to his senses and said to himself, fortunately, his sleeping position was good and he didn't drool.

Alas, I lost points again.

Because everyone was having fun last night, everyone played late last night, so Kevin still has circles under his eyes, so Ma Xiaoguang dozed off in the office, but MISS Liu seemed to look good, I wonder if it was because of the makeup.

He immediately expressed his gratitude to MISS Liu and Kevin for their concern, and arranged the work of the foreign company in the past few days. The two executives had just gone out, and before Ma Xiaoguang could even sit down, someone knocked on the door again.

The fat man came in.

The fat man held a few newspapers in his hand and shook his head with laughter.

Without being polite to Boss Ma, he just sat down on the sofa next to him. The fat man sighed: "Boss Ma, how did you drive these two guys crazy?"

Ma Xiaoguang sighed and said: "What is driving me crazy? I didn't even raise my hand. Everyone can see it. There are hundreds of people in the entire Peacock Hall..."

Then he added: "That's what they asked for. I always wanted to keep a low profile in our line of work, as you know, but they kept forcing me. I can't really ask these little bastards Please beg for mercy. If my brothers continue to follow me and mess around, the party and the country will lose face."

"It seems that I still have to be careful not to offend the commander in the future, so as not to be driven crazy like these two guys." The fat man sighed.

In fact, Boss Ma still has a secret that he has not told Fatty, but with Fatty's wisdom, he also guessed that since Fatty used drugs at Sanyo Trading Company last time and achieved good results, Boss Ma has become more aware of the role of drugs in espionage work. He attached great importance to it, so he carefully collected and stocked all kinds of drugs, including narcotics, intoxicants, laxatives, and sweating pills, including the crazy drugs used this time.

The reason why I chose Latour red wine instead of others is because the aroma of Latour wine is rich and unique. The mixture of various aromas covers the medicinal smell very well.

As for the brain matter, it’s not real brain matter. We are agents, not gangsters. Foreigners don’t have cream cakes at their receptions. At that critical moment, by coincidence, someone handed Deputy Section Chief Huang a whole plate. The cream cake was smashed just like that, and the person who lost his mind couldn't tell whether it was really brain matter.

The fat man is not a fool, so he doesn't dare to tell the truth. He must keep some sense of mystery for the commander, otherwise he might be wearing small shoes one day. You see a few days ago, the commander was so happy that he had two big yellow croakers, so the commander's happiness is of the utmost importance. things.

"If you weren't a bad person, you wouldn't be crazy." Because he was in a good mood, Chief Ma did not refute the fat man's complaints.

"Let's get down to business." Commander Ma said.

"The Concession Patrol Office was investigating the cases of the past few days. The person in charge was Qi Zhaolin, but the Japs were ruthless and did not dare to tell the truth. They also did not work hard, but the other foreign companies of the Japs had obviously strengthened their guards. Several guild halls had more ronin. , there are also Japanese men in dresses with guns hidden in their waists probing around..." The fat man reported to Chief Ma what he had done in the past few days.

"How are the injured?" Commander Ma was still concerned about his compatriot.

"As you know about his condition, he needs to be taken care of. Besides, it's very difficult at home..." Fatty continued to introduce.

"No need to tell you the details, just go and take a look today."

Zhabei shanty town.

This place is a world away from Zi Lin Building, Li Cha Hotel and even Xin Xin Hotel.

There were small, dilapidated shanties, indescribable things scattered here and there on the ground, and the air was filled with an elusive smell.

In comparison, Fatty's home in Chengxing is more than ten times better than here.

In the home of the injured, Fatty and Ma Xiaoguang stood by the bed, constantly comforting the injured. Next to them were large and small bags of food. Nothing is more important than eating in these days. Thousands of people work a day just to have two meals. , although often not enough to eat.

"Brother Ma, Brother Yang, thank you so much..." the injured Huang Lichun kept saying. He was not good at words, so he could only express his thanks.

Huang Lichun came to work from the countryside in northern Jiangsu. There are two children at home who are waiting for food. One is three years old and the other is five years old. They are at the age of gluttony. Many of the things Ma Xiaoguang and the fat man brought are things they have never seen. There are things that I have never heard of, never tasted before, such as butter toffee, star pretzel crackers...and of course the most affordable rice, noodles, oil and meat. The two little guys almost dropped their eyes after seeing them.

Huang Lichun's wife ran away with someone. The reason is very simple. She is poor. Now her younger sister Huang Xiaoxue helps raise the two children. The whole family relies on her to wash clothes, mend clothes and do her own work. Now her leg is broken. At that time, I couldn't bear to pay for the treatment of my injuries, and I was even less willing to rest at home.

Huang Lichun said gratefully: "Two benefactors, how can I thank you..."

Ma Xiaoguang smiled and said: "When people are in the rivers and lakes, they should look out for each other and help each other. Brother Huang can rest in peace and recover. There is no need to worry about anything."

"brother……"

"Two benefactors, let's drink a bowl of water. Our house is simple. Don't mind." Huang Xiaoxue greeted the guests generously. Although she is a country girl, she has seen a lot of worldly people in Shanghai. She is busy with everything and is not busy. Stop, unlike some girls who just stay shy.

Huang Xiaoxue was dressed in old coarse cloth clothes, washed white, but very clean. Although the whole house was small, it was clean and tidy. There was no mess like other shanty towns that can drive people crazy at first glance. There's no weird smell like outside.

"By the way, Brother Huang, what are you going to do after you recover from your injury..." the fat man asked.

"I only have a little strength, so what can I do?" Huang Lichun replied a little confused.

"By the way, I have a friend in the rickshaw business who always wants to pull a rickshaw. After you recover from your injury, will you do it?" Ma Xiaoguang said.

"There's no way I wouldn't want to." Huang Lichun replied hurriedly.

"Okay, then you can rest peacefully and we will come see you in a few days. Don't worry about money..."

After the two left, Huang Xiaoxue took out the candies and gave one to each of the two children. The children were naturally beaming and running around happily.

Huang Xiaoxue asked her elder brother, "Brother, do you think they are really from Taihu Ding San? I don't think so. Everyone says that Ding San's people are all bad. Brother Ma and Brother Yang are good people at first glance."

Huang Lichun smiled honestly: "Yes, he is a good man."

Two good people are now squatting at the intersection of Jingweili and Weili. It is good to do one good deed every day, but what is more important is their own mission. The two elites have not forgotten it at all.

Squatting on the side of the road, the fat man couldn't help but asked quietly: "Boss, where did you get this rickshaw-traveling friend from?"

Boss Ma rolled his eyes and scolded softly: "Ma Dan, you can do this..."

After waiting for more than forty minutes, I met a familiar old friend.

When Koichiro Ozawa met Ma Xiaoguang, his heart was complicated. Reason and the responsibility of a Japanese intelligence officer told him that he was committing a crime, but another voice told him that it was actually nothing. This was just to reveal some irrelevant information by the way. That's all, there is still the most important thing - banknotes.

"Tell me about the recent situation." Ma Xiaoguang went straight to the topic and had no time to talk about life with him.

"Recently, a foreign company was stolen. The internal theory is that it was robbed. It is said to be war preparation supplies. The specifics are not clear. The army is responsible for those warehouses..." Ozawa said.

"Well, okay, this news is very important." He pretended to praise

"Also, the Navy has recently sent people to Jinling, but the rest is not something someone at my level can know..." Ozawa saw that the other party was not easy to fool, so he stirred up trouble.

"It doesn't matter, we are friends, why would we embarrass you?" Ma Xiaoguang smiled like a harmless white rabbit and a fox.

"Also...and there is the Inoue Mansion - Tongyuan Yang Company. Recently, top-secret information was sent to the Navy. We didn't have much contact with them before...This is the first time." Ozawa said anxiously.

"Oh... everything is fine! Well done." After saying this, Ma Xiaoguang stuffed a few bills into Ozawa's jacket pocket.

Walking on the street, Fatty saw what Chief Ma was thinking and didn't say anything. Maybe he was afraid of interrupting the Chief's train of thought.

"Fat man, what do you think?" Chief Ma asked.

"Is what this guy said true?" the fat man said.

"He has already boarded the ship and cannot get off. The truth or lies are not important. What is important is that we have to distinguish between them. The Japanese army and navy are fighting fiercely, and the various intelligence agencies do not have much contact. How could Tongyuan Yangxing do this this time? Giving intelligence to the navy? There's some inside story..." Ma Xiaoguang speculated.

"I think so, but we don't know the situation?" the fat man said with some uncertainty.

"You'll know after you go and see it," Commander Ma said with a confident smile.
