The Bourne Counterattack

Chapter 126 Tang Tao and Xu Baichuan

Cheng Mo didn't have to worry about the wedding preparations. He told his sister Cheng Hua the date and then went to a suit shop to take a measurement.

Then there is the regular commute to and from get off work every day, and then there are dates with Su Moer, meals and so on.

I go back in the evening and do some more creative work. "Ghost Husband" continues to make good profits and has been sold to Japan and Southeast Asia.

The continuous income can support a publishing house, but he still has a new book. Next, he wants to write the "Six Dreams" series.

After writing "Six Dreams", he doesn't plan to write any more romance novels. As for what to write next, he'll have to wait and see.

As for the filming of the movie, he left it all to Wang Hai, and he directly became the hands-off shopkeeper.

On this day, Cheng Mo received a notice from traffic officer Chen Yougui that Senior Brother Wen Qiu wanted to see him.

Cheng Mo went happily.

When he came, he saw that there were guests at home. He was stunned for a moment, and then he understood the purpose of this meeting.

"This is Comrade Tang Tao, a native of Chongming. He graduated from Normal College. He is twenty-four years old this year. He has been working in Xuzhou before. After the battle in Xuzhou, Hankou was evacuated. I asked the Southern Bureau for someone, and he was sent here." Wen Qiu introduced it to Cheng Mo.

"Hello, Cheng Mo." Cheng Mo introduced him proactively and shook hands with him.

"Comrade Tang Tao, from now on, you will be Comrade Cheng Mo's deputy. He has many identities. I will explain it to you in detail later," Wen Qiu said.

"Yes, Comrade Wenqiu." Tang Tao nodded slightly and spoke authentic Shanghainese, which instantly made Cheng Mo less worried about him adapting and integrating into the life in the concession.

"Comrade Tang Tao hasn't applied for the job at Huajian Club yet, has he?"

"..." Tang Tao was confused after hearing this and didn't understand what was going on.

"I haven't told him about this specific task yet." Wen Qiu hurriedly explained, "The thing is like this, Comrade Tang Tao, you need to have a cover identity when you come to work in Shanghai, and as Comrade Cheng Mo's deputy, you are You can appear next to him publicly and handle some affairs for him, so that your relationship with him will not appear out of the blue. Therefore, Cheng Mo and I discussed it and arranged an identity for you. This identity is a publishing house. Assistant to the President.”

"This publishing house was invested and established by me. I am the president, but outsiders don't know about it. There are very few people who know about it now. I usually work in the old police station of the Ministry of Industry Bureau Police Department, publishing I usually don't go there and leave it to the general manager Wang Hai, who is also one of the shareholders. But there are some things that I still need to handle, so I need an assistant to help me. Of course, This is just one of the reasons, and the other is that there are too many eyes on me and I easily attract attention. Every time I come to see Senior Brother Wenqiu, I always have to be careful not to follow behind me, but you will be different..."

"Comrade Cheng Mo and I are both graduates of Waseda University, and I was ten years ahead of him." Wen Qiu explained why Cheng Mo called him "senior brother."

"The publishing house is always recruiting people. After Comrade Tang Tao settles down, he can apply for the job. On the surface, you and I just met during the interview." Cheng Mo explained.

"Understood." Tang Tao nodded. He had been working underground for three years, so he understood this little thing.

"What does Comrade Tang Tao know? I want to have a comprehensive understanding of it?"

"What does Comrade Cheng Mo want to know?"

"I want to know, Comrade Tang Tao, if you know how to drive and take pictures, as well as your fighting and tracking skills. Can you use a radio?" Cheng Mo asked.

"I know how to drive and take pictures, but I'm not good at it. When it comes to tracking, I haven't learned it systematically. I know the radio, but I haven't learned it yet, let alone how to use it."

Cheng Mo said: "It doesn't matter. I haven't learned it before. You can learn it. It's nothing. I know what you know. When there are work arrangements, I can let you do it."

"Ok."

... Lu Jingshi called. The people arranged by the military commander had also arrived in Shanghai, and they also arranged to meet at the Qinglian Pavilion Teahouse.

"Fourth brother!"

"Lao Liu?"

"It's really you, haha..." After more than half a year apart, the brothers who slept in the same room in the Qingpu class instructors' dormitory suddenly met, which really surprised Cheng Mo.

It seems that the person sent by the military commander to cooperate with his tasks in the concession is Xu Baichuan. If he sends someone he is familiar with, there will be no problem with the tacit understanding.

"Shangfeng said that he would send me to work in Shanghai. I thought to myself, aren't you in Shanghai? Maybe I can meet you. I didn't expect that after arriving, I would have to listen to your orders." Xu Baichuan laughed heartlessly. stand up.

"Fourth brother, how have you been these past six months?"

"Forget it, after the Qingpu class was dismissed, I was assigned to the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Action Committee and entered the third brigade. In the battle with the Japanese army, I suffered heavy losses. Most of my men were killed or injured, and the students we taught also died. Many of them finally broke out and began to reorganize into the Loyalty and Salvation Army. Before coming here, I served in the third detachment of the Loyalty and Salvation Army..." Xu Baichuan explained.

"Fourth brother is pretty good, he's become a lieutenant colonel."

"Hehe, when we were in Qingpu class, you were the youngest among the six of us, but you were the most serious, and you will definitely have the greatest achievements in the future." Xu Baichuan said, "As expected, you are now leading the fourth brother and me."

"Fourth brother, you are not allowed to mention anything about me in Qingpu class to anyone, do you understand?" Cheng Mo reminded him extremely seriously.

"Oh, what should we call us from now on?" Xu Baichuan immediately stopped his voice. He knew the stakes. Not to mention, before coming here, someone specifically told him what he could say, what he couldn't say, and what he could do. There was nothing he couldn't do, and he didn't dare mess around with it.

"What is your status in Shanghai?"

"I came from Zhejiang, a tea merchant, and planned to open a tea shop." Xu Baichuan said, "My family did this when I was a child. Later, my family fell into ruin and I didn't like doing business, so I joined the army."

"Then I'll call you Boss Xu."

"Boss Xu, yes, it sounds nice. Then what should I call you?" Xu Baichuan asked.

"Little Cheng Tan, or little Mr. Cheng."

"You became a detective?"

"Public concession, deputy detective, I got such a position because of the boss's relationship." Cheng Mo explained.

"I understand, I understand..." Xu Baichuan nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

"How are Brother Tian and Brother Zhuang doing?"

"Tian Lao Tian went to Linli and is said to be continuing to work as an instructor. Zhuang Lao Er went to Chongqing. I really don't know what he did. The third lao went to who knows where. The fifth lao seemed to have gone to Xi'an. After we separated, we We have gone our separate ways, and I don’t know if we will see each other again in the next year or so. Maybe we won’t see each other again.” Xu Baichuan was very happy. He actually didn’t want to come to Shanghai to lurk, but he didn’t dare to disobey the order from above, so he had to come.

Now that he saw that Cheng Mo was partnering with him, all the dissatisfaction disappeared.
