The administrative center of Shanghai is in People's Square. When traveling, everyone will go to Jiangbian Beach to take a look. The real geographical center is around Huashan Street. This is also the humanistic center of Shanghai. Huashan Street is surrounded by green trees, and the thick sycamore tree hugged by two people proves that the streets here have maintained their original flavor for at least a hundred years.
Every street around Huashan Street maintains the old flavor of the 1920s. The autumn wind sweeps through the sycamore trees on both sides of the street, blowing down the sycamore leaves all over the ground, red, green and yellow, spread on the road. , and looking at the street scenery, it looks like a yellowed old photo.
Many old buildings in this area are historic protected buildings with bronze medals. The garden house in front of you is also a protected building. It is composed of three parts. There is a two-story old building with a plank shape at the gate and parking on the first floor. , the second floor is the dormitory. There is also a simple and elegant small building that should have been newly built in recent years. The main building is a three-story bungalow with blue bricks and red tiles. The most eye-catching thing is the stained glass windows around the house, which add a sense of nobility and mystery to the main building.
Outside the door, there is a white sign of the company hanging under the door number, with the words "Shanghai Lottery Management Center" written on it. It is particularly busy today, and people wearing stand-up collar suits enter the yard from time to time.
The garden in the yard is not too big, but there are small ponds, rockeries, flower beds, lawns, and a small bamboo forest in the yard. On one side of the pond is the small bamboo forest, and the newly built house is behind the bamboo forest.
The interior of the house is a small theater that can accommodate fifty people. There is a long podium in front of a white screen on the stage, and three people are sitting side by side behind the podium. They were having a meeting and giving lectures. Thirty-one people were sitting in the audience and were listening intently. Everyone was taking notes carefully.
At this time, the door was pushed open, and a man in his thirties came out. This man was wearing the same dark stand-collar suit as everyone present. After entering, he immediately put away the same uniform as everyone present. His official expression changed to a playful smile, and he scratched the back of his head with his left hand and bowed to the people around him to express his apology.
At this time, a woman in her forties with a bitter and resentful look on the podium said sternly, "Comrade Ma Decai, do you know how late you are? Find a place to sit down first and report alone after the meeting."
"It's Minister Kim."
Ma Decai had no consciousness of being late at all. Instead of finding a seat in the corner of the back row, he came to the most conspicuous empty seat in the first row and sat down.
The person who presided over the meeting was an old man who was energetic and kind, but if you look at this old man, you will find that he has a pair of eyes that can see the world like a falcon.
Seeing that the unexpected episode had come to an end for the time being, the old man chaired the meeting and said
"The formal meeting topics have been discussed, and the reports from the heads of each province have been completed. Now let's talk about some digressions."
As he spoke, the old man picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea and continued, "Our headquarters has been staying in Shanghai in the past few years. Everyone knows the reasons. Shanghai is the focus of China's development in the next twenty years. There must be no loss. Good." Now everything is on track, and the battles between the big families and Jianghu people in Shanghai have come to an end for the time being. Therefore, after discussion by all members of our "Folk Religion and Special Affairs Committee", it was unanimously approved that next year our headquarters will Moved to South Vietnam Province.”
When the old man said this, he turned his attention to Ma Decai, who had just sat down. Everyone present then turned their eyes over.
People who can be attracted by Qin Dao will have certain characteristics that are different from ordinary people. Ah Fu is calm and analytical in situations, A Lu actually has a desperate heart under his cold appearance, Lu Huanxi is cynical and calm in times of trouble, Gong Gangsheng’s extraordinary persistence and persistence, and Ma Decai’s shamelessness.
At this moment, being watched by so many colleagues, Ma Decai did not feel embarrassed at all. On the contrary, some people blushed like crazy, and their eyes shone with golden light. He immediately stood up with his back straight, wanting to make a bold statement to express his determination.
Before he could speak, the old man waved his hand to him and told him to sit down, and then said, "Xiao Ma, don't worry. We all know your abilities very well. We'll talk about it alone later. Xiangjiang is now an important part of the handover between the old and new regimes." Moment, the coming year will be even more stormy. So I hope Comrade Xiao Ma that you will be mentally prepared to fight a tough battle."
The old man took another sip of tea to moisten his throat and then said, "One more thing, I heard that someone in the Jianghu recently offered a huge bonus of one million Lianzhong coins to find some children.
I also learned that the tragedy involving more than a dozen lives in Wudun Town in June this year was caused by a child named Muzishan, and that a vicious and violent brawl in a five-star hotel in Qinchuan City in August was caused by a child named Zhang. Children of the wrong path. "
"I also heard that Qin Dao, the third son of the richest man in Xiangjiang, had a falling out with his family, and then he ran to Dongning Island and was also targeted by these people. Not only that, but also the new head of Wudang, Ji Huatang of Dongning, Longhu Mountain ...from the Xuankong Temple...from the Beggar Clan...from the Baihua Clan...and Zhang Nian'er from the Zhang Family in Shanghai..."
The old man mentioned the names of more than a dozen young people in one breath, then paused and looked at the expressions of everyone in the audience before saying, "Anyone I just mentioned will have a higher achievement within ten years than everyone here." Man, in just over a year, so many children who can be called God’s talents have emerged. What’s going on? Of course, there are many young people who are worthy of God’s favor. I didn’t mention them just now. Why are our talented young people from China being targeted by foreign forces again? Who can tell me the reason for all this?"
In the study on the third floor of the bungalow in the main building, a ray of afterglow shines through the stained glass windows on the antique Chinese furniture. No one will doubt the authenticity of every piece of furniture and every piece of antique furnishings here. If there are fakes here, then there will be no real things in China.
Ma Decai opened the door. There were three people sitting in the study. After he greeted the two people sitting on the Diaolong Taishi chair, he came to the desk and said respectfully to the old man, "Mr. Guo, I'm here to make the quarterly report." ”
Mr. Guo quickly waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, we have seen those things. Now I have something else to ask you... Are you familiar with the Qin family's young master Qin Dao?"
Ma De started to break out in a cold sweat when he was asked this question. He knew that it was taboo to be involved with a person with such a background. It would be fine if the leader turned a blind eye and tacitly understood it, but It would be quite bad to be mentioned in front of someone like this.
Mr. Guo noticed that Ma Decai was so virtuous. He immediately softened his voice and said, "Xiao Ma, please sit down first. We are not questioning you. We all know about you. In the past ten years, you were just an ordinary civilian staff member of the Democratic Special Committee. A year ago, you started repeatedly breaking the law. Big and strange cases, you are also a well-rounded person, and you handle things properly. Your leaders have been promoted to high positions one by one by you. Your promotion speed over the years has been nothing short of miraculous. However, all of this happened after you met Qin Dao. matter."
After being beaten so hard by Old Man Guo, Ma Decai was already soaked through.
Old Man Guo saw that the old soup was almost simmering, and then changed the topic again, "The report you submitted on the financial invasion of Xiangjiang by the United States was taken very seriously and greatly rewarded you. The main reason we called you this time is to learn more about it." This Qin Dao."
After all the words, it was very clear whether he wanted to praise Ma Decai or to criticize Ma Decai. He immediately told some details about Qin Dao, including family affairs, studies, cultivation, and how to break up the family. Read it again.
After finishing speaking, none of the three people in the room expressed their opinions. As time passed by, Ma De realized that he had not said enough. He told in detail what Qin Dao encountered in Dongning Island. During Qin Dao's days in Dongning, Ah Fu and Ma De were closely connected, and Ma De was one of Qin Dao's trump cards. If there is a dispute with Dongning officials, he can let the Chinese officials intervene appropriately. So he knew very clearly Qin Dao's every move in Dongning.
After listening to Qin Dao's deeds in Dongning in detail, the three of them asked some questions. Then there was unconvincing silence again.
Old man Erqing Guo asked again, "Is there anything else? We would like to know more about his financial achievements."
Ma Decai thought about it carefully and said solemnly, "I don't know how powerful his financial methods are, but I know that he started preparing to fight against the financial speculators of the United States alone two years ago. Qin Dao is something special. He He has a very strong sense of identity with Chinese culture and his identity as a Chinese, which is a sense of national pride that ordinary people cannot understand. This gives him an inexplicable sense of responsibility for the famous Chinese people."
Old Man Guo asked curiously, "Really? Such a young man is very good. So why does he want to face those people alone. Is there any misunderstanding or dissatisfaction with us?"
When the topic reached this point, Ma Decai was somewhat aware of their purpose. He considered his words and said, "He said that the larger the machine, the more complex and precise it is, he must be prepared for all kinds of things, whether it is a tailwind or a tailwind." Or headwind, whether there is help or not, he will face it in the end.”
Seeing the satisfied expressions of these people, Ma Decai finally breathed a sigh of relief secretly.
He then added, "I remember the last time I saw Qin Dao was in Xiangjiang. At that time, he told me something specific about what might happen next year. He estimated that next year's financial war will be worth hundreds of billions or even trillions of Lianzhong coins. , then if he is prepared to face those giants alone, his accumulation in the past two years should be quite substantial, which can also prove his financial ability. I heard from him that he still has a team in the United States, two years ago Already laying out the nails there.”
Mr. Guo's expression relaxed a lot when he heard this, as if he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "In this case, we can rest assured that we can fully support him when the time comes."
Hearing this, Ma Decai finally breathed a sigh of relief. Just wanted to make a statement. Mr. Guo added, "By the way, how long has it been since you last contacted him?"
After Mr. Guo said this, Ma Decai suddenly realized that since they went to Dongning, he had been talking to Ah Fu on the phone almost every day, and he would talk to Ah Fu once in three days at most. But now that he thought about it, it seemed that he had not received a call from them for a week. Telephone. Ma Decai's cold sweat began to break out again. Qin Dao was not only his backer, but also his boss and his friend.
He immediately asked, "Mr. Guo, do you know anything?"
Mr. Guo replied with a serious face at this moment, "A week ago, they had a conflict with Europeans, Japanese people, and several major forces from the United States on a cruise ship on the high seas. After that, they did not return to Xiangjiang, nor did they return to Xiangjiang. There was no further trip to Dongning, their ship disappeared.”
