Phi-Fic Chapter 210 The Girl from the Water and Clouds
Chapter 210 The Girl from the Water and Clouds
After only three glasses of wine, Director Tian stopped drinking and had to hurry to the headquarters of the 29th Army.
A lot of bigwigs are waiting there. If they don't report it quickly, there might be a conflict that night. Those hardliners can't bear it any longer.
"The 29th Army is indeed very similar to what is said outside. Other matters are easy to discuss, but if we get to the territory, I'm afraid it will be difficult to discuss."
Just now, Wang Manli was acting as the wine pourer and hadn't said a word. Now that she saw Director Tian leave, she finally spoke.
"This is perfectly normal. The 29th Army is affiliated with the Northwest Army. Originally, they were stationed in relatively impoverished areas. Now, they've finally found an opportunity to be stationed in the heart of the north. Over the past few years, their strength has grown considerably. If anyone else wanted to get involved here, it would be like tackling their very lifeblood. It's perfectly normal for them to have such thoughts."
Wang Manli understood that as long as you are an anti-Japanese team, our superiors will be very tolerant, but if you are not anti-Japanese, don't expect such a result.
"By the way, sir, Wang Zihan is here. Do you want to meet him now?"
Seeing that Li Shaoyi was a little worried, Wang Manli prepared to talk about something else.
"Just come in."
Li Shaoyi has always been very casual about such matters, but when this girl came in, Li Shaoyi immediately felt that she seemed familiar. She really gave people a stunning feeling. Standing next to Wang Manli, she was no less stunning.
Between water and clouds...
Li Shaoyi remembered that there was a girl named Wang Zihan. There was one character different in her name, but they looked the same. Wang Zihan: "Mr. Li."
Wang Zihan was still a little shy. After all, he had heard some of Li Shaoyi's resume. He was very famous throughout Peking.
"Don't be so reserved. Since you were recommended by Manli, you must have some abilities. You'll start your work tomorrow. Although I'm a bit more casual here, if you're not up to the job, I'm afraid I won't leave you alone."
Although the girl was pretty, Li Shaoyi had long been immune to her, so he had to say everything he needed to say to avoid getting angry later.
"Yes."
It turned out that the people in the municipal government secretariat also had an idea about their work, but Li Shaoyi was a little busy and didn't know much about military knowledge. He could slowly learn from him in the future. The most important thing was that this person was medium green, so there was no problem with his safety.
"Let's sit down and eat together. Director Tian didn't touch anything just now, and I can't finish it myself, so let's not waste it."
Li Shaoyi invited the two girls to have dinner together, and Wang Manli naturally did not refuse. This kind of thing happened many times before. Wang Zihan was still a little puzzled. He had never seen a boss inviting his secretary to dinner. In such a society, class was still very important, but in our boss Li, it seemed that there was no sign of it at all.
And when watching Wang Manli and Li Shaoyi talking, it seemed like they were just friends and could even make some harmless jokes.
"Is this really General Li who killed so many devils? How come I can't tell at all?"
After dinner, the two little girls sat in the car at the back, and Wang Zihan whispered his doubts.
"Don't worry. If we fight the Japs these past few days, you'll know what they're like. They've always been very kind to us."
Wang Manli shuddered when she thought of Li Shaoyi fighting the Japanese devils. When facing his own people, he was as warm as a spring breeze, but when facing the Japanese devils, he was like a devil from hell.
"This is your salary for this month. If your family needs anything, you can talk to the finance department, but we can only advance you two months' salary at most."
Wang Manli took out nineteen dollars, which was the salary of a trainee secretary.
"Nineteen dollars?"
Wang Zihan was dumbfounded. He had never heard that a trainee secretary could earn so much salary.
"It's quite a bit. If you get a permanent position after a month, that'll be 25 yuan. It's like that here. People working for the boss get paid well, but they have to work hard. Otherwise, wouldn't that be a waste of money?"
When Wang Manli saw Wang Zihan's surprised look, she felt very satisfied. Among all the secretaries in Peking, her income was not low. Of course, she had to deduct the gray income. If she added the gray income, the dozen or so dollars would not be enough.
The Japanese also knew the news that Li Shaoyi had returned to Peiping, but Commander Yamamoto was unwilling to hear reports on this matter. According to him, we have no other way to deal with Li Shaoyi at this stage, unless we launch a full-scale war immediately, but the timing is not right, so as long as Li Shaoyi does not go too far, we just have to endure it.
When we occupy North China in the future, we will settle accounts with Li Shaoyi together.
But just because you don't cause trouble for him doesn't mean he won't cause trouble for you.
When we woke up the next morning, the Peking Railway Gendarmerie was surrounded.
Lieutenant Colonel Yoshikawa didn't understand what was going on. In the past half month, all of them had stayed inside obediently. Even when food and drinks were delivered, they would hire Chinese to bring them in directly, and try to avoid going out and causing trouble as much as possible.
But even so, if he controls himself in everything, why is he surrounded today?
"Officer, what's going on here? Why are there armed sentries stationed near our camp gate?"
Although Lieutenant Colonel Yoshikawa felt uncomfortable, he still walked out of the barracks with two guards and went to ask what was going on. Two heavy armored vehicles were parked at the entrance of their barracks, only five meters away.
Although there were armed checkpoints in the past, most of them were dozens of meters away. Now they are parked five meters away, and our vehicles cannot get in. This is too much.
"How do we know what's going on? We'll do what our superiors order us to do. We'll be stationed here from now on."
A police sergeant said nonchalantly, even though we only have two heavy armored vehicles, you really can't get out.
At the police station at the train station a few hundred meters away, a large number of personnel are on standby. If you dare to fire the first shot, the mortars will follow.
"Then I'll go see your commander."
If it were someone else, Lieutenant Colonel Yoshikawa would have screamed and screamed, wanting to beat someone up, but he didn't have the courage to do that to these people from the railway station police station. Just think about the losses he had suffered in the past, wasn't that enough?
"Our commander is not available today..."
Just as the police sergeant was speaking, a truck drove over from a distance. On the truck were today's fresh vegetables and meat, which were specially supplied to the Railway Gendarmerie.
