Chapter 221: Ma Hansan, you're good enough!

Hong Zhiyou pushed the door open and walked in.

Inside was a scene of luxury.

Three-sided black leather sofa, white marble coffee table.

Even the floor was covered with high-grade carpet.

Beautiful large lamps hung above.

Worthy of being a headquarters unit, it was spacious and high-grade.

Lu Qiaoshan was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, wearing a gold-chain gold-rimmed glasses, crossing his legs, and playing with lighting matchsticks into an ashtray.

"Section Chief Lu!"

Hong Zhiyou put on a look of a rural child entering the city, standing at the door and rubbing his hands with a smile.

"Yo, isn't this that... that little Hong?" Lu Qiaoshan's crossed legs went higher, shaking his leather shoes, without any intention of standing up.

"It's me, Section Chief Lu," Hong Zhiyou pointed at himself and said.

"Quick, come over and sit,"

Lu Qiaoshan finally put down the matchsticks and beckoned.

"You're truly imposing here, more imposing than the Station Chief's office," Hong Zhiyou complimented with a smile.

"Heh heh.

"Him?

"This set of sofas I have, imported from France, is worth a whole room of his furniture," Lu Qiaoshan laughed with disdain.

"Brother Shan, you're truly developed now.

"Noble spirit is pressing,"

Hong Zhiyou walked to the sofa and sat down, "Ouch," he said in surprise, "It's truly soft, worthy of being imported goods."

"It's work time now; let's use official titles," Lu Qiaoshan looked at his brand-name watch and said faintly.

"Yes, Section Chief Lu," Hong Zhiyou said.

"Nice watch," he added.

"My son asked someone to buy it from Switzerland; it's purely handmade, the same model as He Yingqin's," Lu Qiaoshan laughed.

"Powerful.

"Section Chief Lu, I came in a hurry this time and didn't bring any gifts; your birthday is coming up at the end of the year, and I might not be able to come; a golden mouse, just as a celebration for you in advance,"

Hong Zhiyou took out a half-sized mouse made of gold from his bag and placed it on the desk.

"Yo."

Lu Qiaoshan sucked in a breath of surprise and picked it up to examine it.

It felt heavy.

The material was good; it must be worth a lot of money.

"Brother, look at you coming from so far away, why send something?" Lu Qiaoshan finally poured him a cup of tea.

"Section Chief Lu, I hope you don't mind.

"Back in Jinhai, you taught me many things.

"Little brother has always kept it in mind,"

Hong Zhiyou laughed.

"True.

"Back in Jinhai, without you, brother, I couldn't have retreated unscathed," Lu Qiaoshan shook his head and laughed lightly.

"How is Section Chief Lu doing here?" Hong Zhiyou asked.

"So-so.

"Nothing to do but send a document to Mao Renfeng, go to the Confidentiality Bureau to turn around; it's a job of picking thorns.

"Brother, I still know gratitude toward you.

"How about it? Want to work with me?

"Come over and be my secretary,"

Lu Qiaoshan asked with a smile.

"I want to, but the Station Chief wouldn't let me go," Hong Zhiyou said.

"Hmph.

"Wu Jingzhong's problem is very serious: corruption, bribery, leaking secrets during Boss Dai's trip, etc. If others don't know, can I not know?

"After the New Year, once Director Zheng enters the Ministry of National Defense as Vice Minister, I will be transferred to Deputy Director of the Sixth Department.

"At that time... He he.

"Brother, for the sake of our friendship, I advise you: leave early,"

Speaking of the Station Chief, Lu Qiaoshan changed his face immediately and said gloomily.

"Section Chief Lu, is there some misunderstanding?

"When sending you to Jingling initially, the Station Chief didn't even blink an eye.

"Besides, punishing you was acting according to official business,"

Hong Zhiyou said busily.

"Acting according to official business?

"Do you think I'm stupid? That was singing a duet with Li Ya; why send me to Jingling? Wasn't it all Zheng's greeting?

"I'm just letting him move; does Wu Jingzhong dare to move a hair of mine?

"I warn you, don't go down the same path as him, otherwise there will be no good fruit to eat,"

Lu Qiaoshan pointed his index finger and said arrogantly.

"No.

"Section Chief Lu, you say it like that, I don't know how to chat anymore.

"Forget it.

"I have a dinner appointment with the North American Ambassador, and a card game, so I won't stay,"

Hong Zhiyou shook his head, stood up, and said.

"North American Ambassador?

"You also have dealings with Smith?"

Lu Qiaoshan hurriedly put down his crossed legs and asked.

"Nothing much, just helping the National Government raise some military supplies, and a casual meal with Naval Commander Ke Er.

"Brother, your time is precious, so I won't disturb you,"

Hong Zhiyou stood up, tucked his bag, and prepared to leave.

Hong Zhiyou wasn't bragging.

This time, having settled the military aid, Ke Er, as a big shot of the North American military aid faction, sent an invitation as soon as he got off the plane, inviting him to the embassy for a meeting.

"Don't, Zhiyou.

"Since you're here, Brother Shan misses you; let's chat a bit more."

Lu Qiaoshan originally thought Hong Zhiyou hadn't made a sound for half a year, but didn't expect him to be getting more and more prosperous.

"Don't.

"I'm afraid if I stay any longer, you'll detain me and throw me into the Yuhuatai Prison,"

Hong Zhiyou said.

"Look, aren't you speaking in anger?

"Brother Shan isn't doing it for your own good?

"Wu Jingzhong holding that position, the Confidentiality Bureau Headquarters and the Ministry of National Defense have long been displeased with him; investigating him is a matter of time.

"If we weren't brothers, could I tell you this wind?"

Lu Qiaoshan pulled him and laughed.

"If Section Chief Lu says so, then I'm relieved," Hong Zhiyou sat down again.

"Brother, your wine in Jingling, have you... I went to an Italian restaurant to eat last time, and they served Axe Brand; that's your brand.

"I asked him where he got it?

"He said it was sold by Longdong; isn't that a shell company of the Song family?

"Brother, you're capable; you've even hooked up with Song Ziliang,"

Lu Qiaoshan rubbed his fingers and made a gesture of counting money, looking envious.

"Worthy of being in intelligence; nothing can be hidden from you.

"Yes.

"Longdong Company is my distributor," Hong Zhiyou said.

"I don't dare to think about Jingling.

"Can you share a batch with me?

"My son is going to be transferred to the East China Inspection Office next month and has to go to Suzhou; I inquired, and there is no agent there yet; get one for Lu Ming," Lu Qiaoshan said.

"That wouldn't be good; I've already promised Yu Shao in Hangcheng to be the agent for Suzhou and Hangzhou," Hong Zhiyou frowned and said with difficulty.

"Brother, what is our relationship?

"Brothers.

"Oh, you have benefits but don't give them to your own family, only to outsiders; this doesn't make sense.

"No matter what, you have to allocate at least a little of Suzhou to me.

"Otherwise, this friendship of ours, it doesn't make sense,"

Lu Qiaoshan pulled him with enthusiasm and pulled up a relationship.

"Yu Xuan in Suzhou definitely won't let go.

"I can say a word about Yangzhou and let him specifically allocate it to you.

"What do you think?

"But now the market price of this wine has risen, and the price might be more expensive than before,"

Hong Zhiyou said.

"Yangzhou?

"That's fine, that's fine.

"Having something to eat is enough,"

Lu Qiaoshan agreed fully.

"Old Lu, have you heard about Li Ya's matter?" Hong Zhiyou cut to the point.

"Sigh.

"Let this kid have dog shit luck; he can even catch an international spy while dating.

"The key is that this matter was hidden too deep.

"Only when the lawsuit started internationally did I understand what was going on.

"Colonel, Third-Class Cloud Banner Medal.

"Opportunities to make contributions these years are rarer than beauties; he bumped into great luck.

"Heaven doesn't help me.

"If I were still in the station, this contribution wouldn't have fallen on Li Ya's head,"

Lu Qiaoshan sighed sourly.

"Can't be; the sister-in-law wouldn't allow it either," Hong Zhiyou laughed

"I can't marry, but my son can always talk," Lu Qiaoshan said.

"That's true," Hong Zhiyou nodded.

"Li Ya has great ambition now. Without you, no one can control him."

"Section Chief Lu, you were set up by him. As the big brother of the Nanchang Investigation Section, having lost such a big skill, did you never think of getting it back?"

After a pause, he took a sip.

Lu Qiaoshan smiled and pointed at him: "You, little brother, are too cunning. It's Old Wu who can't hold it together anymore, right?"

Hong Zhiyou smiled and said nothing.

Lu Qiaoshan's face sank, and he said sharply: "Now you think of me? When you cooperated with Li Ya to drive me away, when you were single-mindedly blocking my path, why didn't you think of old feelings then?"

"Let's talk about Li Ya," Hong Zhiyou said.

"Don't worry, I can't swallow this evil breath for nothing. None of them should think of running."

"Wait for it. Next spring, watch how I deal with them."

"Jinhai Station, I will kill my way back sooner or later!"

Lu Qiaoshan said through gritted teeth.

"Alright, Section Chief Lu, then you go ahead and get busy, I won't disturb you."

Hong Zhiyou stood up and said.

He could see that Lu Qiaoshan's life must be quite miserable.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so eager when he saw that golden mouse.

Furthermore, there were many high-ranking officials in Jingling.

If he wanted to make money, he would have to wait in line.

Moreover, this person was vengeful.

He was probably dying to return to Jinhai to take revenge on Li Ya.

According to the Station Chief's meaning, since Yu Zecheng's position as Deputy Station Chief was already set, if Lu Qiaoshan could return to be the Intelligence Section Chief and fight with Li Ya to relieve the pressure on Yu Zecheng, that would be good.

Now it seemed there was no chance.

This person was too vengeful.

He even wanted to scheme against the Station Chief.

If Old Lu had expressed even a little gratitude or goodwill toward the Station Chief, this matter could have been done.

Now, this matter naturally couldn't be mentioned.

"Little brother, walk slowly, don't forget about the wine," Lu Qiaoshan stood up and sent him to the door.

"Take care."

Hong Zhiyou bowed slightly and walked away quickly.

Lu Qiaoshan turned back to his office, quickly took off the gold chain on his glasses, carefully removed it, and put it into a jewelry box. This was borrowed from someone.

After the show was over, it naturally had to be returned.

Since returning to Jingling, his family fortune had been completely scraped clean by Ke Shufen.

And he couldn't make any money here.

Life was incredibly tight.

His wife, Li Xiufen, complained at home every day, blaming him for letting Li Ya scheme against him, leaving the fairy-like life in Jinhai to come to Jingling and act like a grandson to others all day long.

Lu Qiaoshan was filled with hatred.

"Jinhai."

"I must go back."

"What I lost, I must get back."

"Li Ya, Wu Laogou, just wait!"

Hong Zhiyou went to the embassy for a brief meeting with Ke Ke.

This commander, who once had an excellent relationship with Dai Li, was very talkative.

Hong Zhiyou took this opportunity to talk about the 100,000 US dollars in supplies. Ke Ke was very generous, directly allocating 200,000 US dollars in supplies and selling them to him at a very low friend price.

At the same time, Ke Ke also sent Ambassador Smith and northern businessmen to start endorsing a new stock that Hong Zhiyou was secretly manipulating.

After all, it was a task assigned by the Jiang father and son.

Ke Ke understood and naturally helped with all his might.

Having settled this major matter.

Hong Zhiyou flew non-stop to Beiping.

When he arrived in Beiping, it was already past ten in the evening.

Ma Hansan sent Liu Yuzhu to drive to the airport to greet him in person.

Liu Yuzhu was wearing a black peony-patterned national-style cheongsam, with a hot figure, exquisite hair, and makeup, as beautiful as a fairy.

"Sister, what was transported in the first batch?"

While talking, Hong Zhiyou reached out and probed along the slit of her cheongsam.

"Annoying," Liu Yuzhu tapped him lightly and said coquettishly.

"They say a moment of a beautiful night is worth a thousand gold."

"Old Ma certainly won't give me this opportunity, so I only have this bit of cheap time in the car."

Hong Zhiyou laughed.

Old Ma was a shrewd person. If they stopped to do something, he would count on his fingers and realize the time was wrong, and he would immediately understand that these two were up to something.

Last time he sent Liu Yuzhu to Jinhai.

That was given by Old Ma, so Hong Zhiyou could naturally accept it.

Daring to take action on someone else's territory was just asking for trouble.

It would be even more troublesome if Ma Hansan suspected that there was something fraudulent about the Xiangdao matter.

In the face of beauty and money.

Hong Zhiyou still knew which was more important.

Liu Yuzhu knew his dead habits, scolded him a few times, and let him be.

"Transported about 70,000 to 80,000 US dollars in antiques and gold."

"You... the place you found has good scenery."

"As soon as Old Ma heard his adjutant secretly say that your island was related to the Rong family, he agreed decisively."

"He now trusts the Red Ticket and capitalists more than the people of the National Government."

Liu Yuzhu was worthy of being specially trained; her speech was still clear, but her voice was trembling slightly.

"I just feel sorry for Sister and the adjutant's trip to Xiangdao; you must have given him a lot of benefits," Hong Zhiyou blinked and laughed wickedly.

"Isn't this the trick you suggested?"

"Still here drinking cool vinegar."

Liu Yuzhu's face turned rosy, and she panted.

"Of course I'm jealous."

"No way, I dream of you every night. Once I've tasted it, I've been possessed for the rest of my life, and I'm afraid I can't forget it," Hong Zhiyou said while making witty remarks.

"You, only this mouth of yours is powerful," Liu Yuzhu rolled her eyes at him.

"Last time at the hotel, Sister also praised me like this," Hong Zhiyou laughed.

"Annoying!"

"You want to die, the car is about to flip."

A few kilometers away from Old Ma's mansion, Hong Zhiyou took out a handkerchief to wipe his hands and finished the job.

"Harmful person!"

Liu Yuzhu scolded coquettishly, quickly drank some water, and touched up her makeup in the vanity mirror.

Her expression quickly returned to a beautiful and capable state.

After getting out of the car, she smoothed her cheongsam, stepped on high heels, and led him inside.

When they arrived at the mansion, Ma Hansan was sitting with his legs crossed, reading a newspaper.

Seeing Liu Yuzhu and Hong Zhiyou, he looked at his watch; it was almost the same as the estimated time for the car ride. Secretary Hong was a decent person.

"Yuzhu, it's getting late, you go back and rest first," Ma Hansan ordered.

"Yes, Bureau Chief."

Liu Yuzhu walked out with a smile.

"Secretary Hong, thank you for the Xiangdao matter."

"We are heroes who see things the same way."

"A few days ago, I went to the headquarters to see General Officer Delin. He is very optimistic about the war in the Northeast and North China, especially Hu Zongnan's attack on northern Shaanxi."

"I don't think so."

"If this battle is lost, Fu Zuoyi should enter Beiping."

"If it's won, without foreign trouble, the Generalissimo should take the knife to the Gui clique and the Jin-Sui clique."

"As for me, I was a nail planted in North China by Boss Dai in a time of crisis. I am neither Huangpu clique nor Jiangzhe clique, not even as good as the old Cantonese clique like Zheng Jiemin."

"When the boss was alive, he wanted to pull me out after using me. Thanks to your blessing, little brother, I escaped a disaster."

"Now that he's gone, I'm even less favored. The Confidentiality Bureau sent a smoker, Wang Puchen, who follows me like a ghost, acting like a grandson in front of me every day. Does he think I don't know Mao Renfeng's thoughts?"

"Why remove me from the position of Director of the Beiping-Tianjin Office and Beiping Station Chief, and arrange a fat job for me? This is to bury me alive bit by bit."

"And I just accepted it all."

Ma Hansan raised his chin proudly.

"But you're right. Whether the National Army wins or loses, I'll have to take this knife sooner or later. It's better to listen to you, little brother, and prepare to run away early."

After a pause, he leaned back on the sofa and laughed with his hands spread.

"Bureau Chief Ma is thorough."

"I have something to ask of you this time. The Americans allocated 200,000 in military supplies. I want to use your path to send them over there, so please make it convenient," Hong Zhiyou said straight to the point.

His trust in Ma Hansan was even higher than in Wu Jingzhong.

Why?

The two of them carried the boss away together; they had long been friends who had shared life and death.

If Ma Hansan wanted to sell him out, it would be hard for him to escape.

If he had trouble, Ma Hansan wouldn't be much better off.

Don't look at the fact that they don't interact much and occasionally compete, but they are truly of the same branch.

This was also why Ma Hansan could "speak freely" and say these rebellious words when he saw him.

"You kid has guts. Don't you want your head?"

"200,000 US dollars in supplies, that's how many cars and how many people."

Ma Hansan frowned.

"The problem is that the Red Ticket pays high."

"Bureau Chief Ma, how can you be so sure that the future world belongs to the National Army?"

"Actually, you, General Officer Delin, Hu Zongnan, and Fu Zuoyi see it more clearly than I do."

"If the Red Ticket falls, the only beneficiaries will be the Jiang father and son."

"How many interests are involved in this?"

"Not to mention anything else, every time a US ship carrying military aid docks, how many people's pockets have been fattened along the way?"

"Except for the Generalissimo, no one wants to stop the war."

"Some want to be promoted to 'Viceroy of Shaanxi and Gansu,' some want to be 'King of the Side-by-Side.' All those iron-barrel formations are just reported to the Generalissimo. Where isn't there a gap secretly letting people pass to northern Shaanxi?"

"If it really can't be transported, the US observation group and reporters will go to northern Shaanxi."

"Why? If the war stops, what military aid is there to talk about?"

"The Americans are also panicked."

"With so many people in Yanbian, if they relied on the grain grown in the mud, they would have starved to death long ago."

"Placing another bet, in the future, whether going to Xiangdao or changing the world, isn't it an extra choice?"

"I am a businessman. If there is a huge profit, there is no reason not to earn it."

"Bureau Chief Ma, what do you think?"

Hong Zhiyou lit a cigarette and said unhurriedly.

Ma Hansan narrowed his small eyes and stared at him, laughing:

"Little brother."

"I just heard General Officer Delin say these words the day before yesterday at the headquarters."

"It's not simple that you can have this insight."

"Hmm, you are qualified to do this business."

"Since you know there are many roadblocks along the way, how much do you plan to take out?" Ma Hansan didn't say any more polite words and went straight to the point.

"10,000 US dollars," Hong Zhiyou said.

"10,000 US dollars isn't enough for me to dismiss those roadblocks."

"You are a businessman."

"I am still Lord Ma. Have you ever seen a god who doesn't eat incense?"

Ma Hansan sneered disdainfully.

"Bureau Chief Ma, just say it straight," Hong Zhiyou said.

"30,000 US dollars, not a cent less," Ma Hansan held up three fingers.

"30,000, isn't that a bit much?" Hong Zhiyou frowned.

"One cent less and this matter won't be done."

"My territory in Beiping is easy to handle, but once you leave Baoding and enter Shaanxi, you can't pass the customs without the corps commanders and staff under Hu Zongnan."

"Otherwise, without a name, what excuse do you have to ship so much cargo?"

"You caught the right time. Now the Generalissimo is fully supporting Hu Zongnan, and there are many transport teams, so no one will check carefully."

"30,000, no discussion."

"This is also looking at your betting theory. Otherwise, I would never touch this head-dropping job."

Ma Hansan said righteously.

"Alright, 30,000 it is," Hong Zhiyou agreed.

These 200,000 supplies were obtained at a low price.

According to the market and the scarcity in Yanbian, the actual value should be 300,000 US dollars.

Deducting Ma Hansan's kickbacks, and the miscellaneous expenses and transport costs in Jinhai.

He still had at least 50,000 US dollars in earnings.

Plus the Rong family's favor, etc.

It was definitely a huge profit.

"By the way, Bureau Chief Ma, do you know the head of the Fang Buting bank?"

"A friend's daughter wants to enter the Beiping branch."

"Can you help with some connections?"

Hong Zhiyou didn't forget to handle the business.

"Fang Buting is too straight, and he comes from a scholarly family. His ancestors were very prominent, and he is too arrogant in his bones. He looks down on people like me."

"He listens to me on work matters, but it's hard to talk about personal favors."

"However, I do know the vault manager of the branch."

"He specializes in money laundering for the municipal government and the garrison. His name is Cui Zhongshi, and I can introduce him to you."

"Manager Cui is very capable. This little thing won't be a problem once your money is in place."

Ma Hansan thought for a while and said.

Cui Zhongshi!

Uncle Cui?

"Good, how about tomorrow? Madam Jiang is passing through Jinhai, and I have to rush back," Hong Zhiyou said.

"Good, I'll call him for you now."

Ma Hansan picked up the phone and dialed a few numbers:

"Manager Cui, it's me."

"Come to my office at nine tomorrow morning, there's something to talk about."

"Good!"

He hung up the phone.

"Nine tomorrow morning!" Ma Hansan said.
