Chapter 693: The West Can’t Want Me, Right?
That night, Matsuzaki invited him to have a drink and a meal together.
Lin Ze declined politely. He had already promised Lao Gao that they should sit together every time he returned to Peking, otherwise it would be awkward.
Lao Gao is now considered a general of the Lin faction. Whether for personal purposes or for external display, they must unite closely on various occasions.
I didn’t go to the restaurant at night. Although the restaurant is nice, I can’t go there every day.
Lao Gao prepared a table in his villa and invited a chef from a big restaurant to ensure both taste and safety.
In the evening, it was still the trio of Lin Ze, Lao Gao and Jiao Zhenguo.
As soon as they met, Gao Shengping asked nervously, "Shengmin, are you okay? There's a lot of talk in Peking, what's going on?"
Lin Ze shook his head. "Director, I won't say anything. We are not their people after all. What can we do? This is a blow to my power. But it's okay. It's all in the past. He will be his general and I will go to Tianjin. We will just take it one step at a time!"
When Jiao Zhenguo heard this, he became excited.
This Okamura is different from the idiot Yuan and Terauchi Juichi. The two Japanese generals were really nice to Lin Ze before, at least they didn't use this kind of method.
From what Mr. Lin said, it seems that he is dissatisfied with Okamura.
So is it possible to win him over?
Even if we cannot make him completely go to the red zone, at least we can develop him into a middleman, who may be of great use when necessary!
Lin Ze saw him like that and knew that Lao Jiao was thinking about something again, so he patted him, "Lao Jiao! What are you thinking about? Are you still thinking about how to catch a spy and make a contribution?"
Lao Jiao was startled.
He even had some doubts as to whether Master Lin already knew about it and was teasing him on purpose every time.
But this is a bit too unbelievable. Mr. Lin probably doesn't know his own identity, but he has a humorous personality and works for the Japanese only for profit. If he can be provided with enough benefits, can Mr. Lin also work for the Red Zone?
"Look at what you said. Since you went to Tianjin, we can't solve major cases now, and we don't need to solve minor cases. We can only do our job as usual."
After a few pleasantries, everyone took their seats.
After three glasses of wine, Lao Gao sighed, "Shengmin, it's better to be in Tianjin. At least we don't have to be under the eyes of the front army headquarters. We can see that General Okamura is not easy to get along with."
"Director, what's wrong? Have you encountered any difficulties recently?"
Gao Shengping laughed, "It's not that difficult, but it's a bit sad. I tried my best to climb up before, but now that I've climbed up, I find that it's nothing special. I've reached the end of the road, and I don't have the energy and spirit to do that any more."
It is just as Wang Xiaoshou said, when you are an official you cannot be too high a position, nor too low a position. It is meaningless to be too high a position, and it is also meaningless to be too low a position.
If we really talk about happiness, Lao Gao may not be as happy as when he was director.
At that time, I was pursuing low-level interests all day long and devoted myself to studying extortion. Even if I could only collect a few hundred yuan, I would be happy.
Now?
Not to mention a few hundred dollars, even if I get a few small yellow croakers, Lao Gao won’t even look at them.
Jiao Zhenguo curled his lips and said, "Director, you are just showing off. Now you hold great power and are a shareholder of the Northern Reserve Bank. You have no shortage of money and power. In Beiping, there are not many things that need you to do, and there are not many things you can't do. For example, my sister-in-law's relatives, even if they are not related at all, have been arranged for places. Isn't that enough?"
Lin Ze thought to himself, my sister-in-law’s family is in great trouble. In a few years, the whole family will become traitors!
Lao Gao chuckled, "Zhenguo, you are right. I finally understand. I must have accumulated merits in eight lifetimes to be able to have this day. Otherwise, how could I have met Shengmin?"
After that, Lao Gao whispered mysteriously, "I just don't know how long this life can last. Have you heard that? Ghost... The Imperial Army's war in the southwest is not going well, and the logistics can't keep up. A few days ago, the higher-ups issued an order to strictly prohibit the black market, but how can the black market be stopped!"
Jiao Zhenguo said casually: "There are no outsiders here today, so I will say a few more words. I think that we can't just keep moving forward, we also have to think about the road ahead."
Gao Shengping ate a peanut. "I was thinking, although I didn't bully the good people or take their lives, I am a complete eater, drinker, whore and gambler. The West can't want me, right? But the South, ah, to be honest, I really don't trust them. I heard that those bastards are even worse than us. We know how to make money in moderation, but they, as the saying goes, drain the pond to catch all the fish, drain the pond to catch all the fish!"
Jiao Zhenguo coughed and said, "I think that no matter what happened in the past, as long as you want to leave a way out, there is a chance."
Lao Gao looked suspicious. "Zhenguo, you're not going to vote red, are you? That's right, you came from the south, you can't go back, if you want to leave, you can only go to the west, haha!"
Jiao Zhenguo's face flushed, and he looked at Lin Ze's expression and shouted, "Hey, hey! Director, you can't say that."
Looking at the two of them like this, could it be that Jiao Zhenguo has tipped off Lao Gao?
Don’t be fooled by Lao Gao’s careless appearance all day long, he is not stupid. Why would a fool sit at this table?
A few people were chatting and laughing and drinking a lot of wine, when Niu Saner suddenly came to report.
"Master, I don't want to disturb your interest, but I need your advice on something."
The three of them put down their wine glasses and looked at Niu Saner.
"Sir, since I'm in Peking, I thought I'd go to the Administrative Committee to ask for some money. Chairman Wang had already agreed to this, but today I asked the accountant from the Assistance Bureau to go, and the people in the Finance Department said they don't have the money for the time being, so we have to wait."
Lin Ze laughed out loud, but Gao Shengping and Jiao Zhenguo frowned.
Is Wang Kemin so short-sighted?
Lin Ze hasn't done anything yet, so are you so impatient to distance yourself from him or even add insult to injury?
Lao Gao snorted coldly, "Has this Old Wang really lost his mind? I will arrange for all the patrolmen patrolling near the Administrative Committee to withdraw. Don't even mention whether they are safe or not. Even if someone throws a bomb into their yard, I won't care."
Jiao Zhenguo said: "I will find a few hooligans in the prison. It's just a bomb. The detective team has many of them."
Lin Ze waved his hands, "That's it, no one should be hard on them. He begged me before, so I accepted his money. Now he doesn't want to give it to me anymore, but I don't want it anymore. If you want to give it to me again in the future, it won't be this price!"
Master Lin didn't even take the hundreds of thousands seriously.
Regardless of whether this was arranged by Wang Keming, he must pay the price.
Lao Wang is really awesome to jump out and become a target at a time like this!
"Come on, continue drinking. Niu Saner, you should sit down and eat something too."
