The Bourne Counterattack

Chapter 128 The First Dream

After meeting with Xu Baichuan, Cheng Mo received news from Wang Hai, saying that he had arranged for several people to apply for his assistant position.

Ask him if he can find a time to meet together.

This was arranged by Cheng Mo after meeting Tang Tao. After all, he only rarely appeared in Huajianshe. When he went there, he met Wang Hai directly and left directly after discussing the matter.

Cheng Mo asked him to arrange it for the morning of the day after tomorrow. It happened to be the weekend and he didn't need to skip work.

……

"I met the contact person from Lanyi Club. His surname is Xu. He is a tea merchant. He comes from Hangzhou. He is about thirty years old..." Cheng Mo briefly reported the situation about "Xu Baichuan" to Pride. , Of course, what should be concealed should be concealed.

“Based on your gut, what does this person look like?”

"Very capable, shouldn't be too difficult to deal with." Cheng Mo thought for a moment and said.

"Well, the Ministry of Industry and Public Affairs Bureau recently wanted to join forces to combat the Zodiac's terrorist activities in the public concession and the French Concession. Please remind the Blue Clothes Club not to get into trouble during this period. This is considered our cooperation. Sincerity,” Pride said.

"Are we going to completely drive the Zodiac out of the rental industry?" Cheng Mo was surprised.

"Well, these people are running amok in the concession, and we have tolerated them for a long time," Pride said.

"But behind these people are the Japanese. If we really do this, will we offend the Japanese?" Cheng Mo asked.

"These are all substantive criminal evidences. They know what they did. If they can't even do this, who will guarantee our interests in the concession?" Pride sneered.

In the final analysis, it is still for their own interests. If their own interests are not damaged, I am afraid that the British will not attack the Zodiac Society.

"Are you going to take action against the person who spoke about the Zodiac Society?"

"Let's issue a wanted warrant first," Pride said.

Cheng Mo nodded. This should be a tacit agreement with the Japanese side. The Zodiac would hand over some less important people and then withdraw from the rental area.

This is another deal.

"Understood, then I'll go and send him a message." Cheng Mo nodded, guessing that arresting and attacking him was just a show.

But a group of people will definitely be arrested, and Zodiac's properties in the concession will also be swept away. These properties must be valuable.

It’s hard to say who will own these industries.

Cheng Mo will not touch these gray assets. It will bring him endless trouble. He has enough troubles.

Cheng Mo received a secret message from Dai Yunong, which was a little late. This was a reply about the situation of "Gao Si". It only had four words: "pay close attention".

This is not surprising.

Gao Si just knew that the things he brought back would anger the old man, and he was worried that his safety would be threatened, so he did not dare to go back.

His worries are not unreasonable, but he also has political ambitions. He is a scholar, naive, with unrealistic fantasies, and even the idea of ​​​​"martyrdom".

……

The operation to arrest members of the Zodiac Society was quickly launched, and Cheng Mo was naturally among them. The Grand View Garden Bathhouse was the property of Chang Yuqing, the president of the Zodiac Society. It was naturally an important contact point for the Zodiac Society, and a deputy director was arranged. The chief is always responsible there.

Laozha and Chengdu arrest offices jointly arrested him.

In one fell swoop, all the members of the Zodiac Society in the bathroom of Grand View Garden were arrested. Of course, the important people got the news in advance and escaped one step ahead.

Those arrested were all middle-level and junior minions. Of course, a lot of things were found, including guns and ammunition, some property that was too late to take away, and a large amount of opium.

Chang Yuqing and many of the leaders of the Zodiac Society were wanted in the concession. For a time, everyone in the concession was shouting and beating the Zodiac Society, like a rat crossing the street.

With this move, the Ministry of Industry and Public Affairs Bureau gained a lot of support from the people and won praise. It was even reported in the newspapers.

The Japanese reaction was relatively cold, they just symbolically condemned the "violent" behavior, and then stopped.

Anyone who understands knows that the Japanese support Chang Yuqing, and even the things he did were planned by the Japanese.

It's just that the Japanese couldn't do it themselves, so they just borrowed Chang Yuqing's hand. But this time, they still thought of Chang Yuqing's sacrifice for them, so they didn't hand him over, but protected him.

If this has no use value, it would be hard to say. The Japanese have always liked to do the work of "unloading mills and killing donkeys".

They don't even have humanity, so they still talk to you about their loyalty?

After two days of fuss, the weekend is here.

Cheng Mo came to Huajianshe early in the morning. It was actually the "Zhengdong Library", with two brands and a set of people. However, it was obvious that Huajianshe's business was much better than that of the "Zhengdong Library".

In the past six months, they have also tried to publish several novels of similar genres. Naturally, they were not as popular as "Ghost Husband", but they did not lose money and made a small profit. At least now they can maintain the operation of Huajianshe.

After Cheng Mo came back, he formulated a series of policies. First, the direction of publishing was mainly romance, martial arts and science fiction. Second, he created the monthly magazine "New Novel" to solicit contributions from the whole society. Third, he established "Huahua" "Jian" Literary Award.

As a result, Huajianshe entered a stage of rapid expansion and recruitment, and Cheng Mo put his writing plan for "Six Dreams" into motion again!

The entire Huajian Club started to function as if it had been injected with chicken blood.

Wang Hai was so busy that he didn't even know what to do before. Now he was busy with endless things every day.

Cheng Mo was just a hands-off shopkeeper who didn't care about anything except throwing him a pile of manuscripts. In fact, during the special training in Hong Kong, in his free time, he sorted out the outline of "Six Dreams". During the special training, the environment was not suitable for writing novels. It was only when I returned to Shanghai that I had time to start writing.

The first dream has been created.

Today he came to interview an assistant and also brought the manuscript of "The First Dream". After half a year, it was almost time to publish his second novel.

Otherwise, some people should doubt that Jiang Lang died after "The Wind Rises in Loulan" became a blockbuster.

When Wang Hai saw the manuscript of "The First Dream", his hands trembled with excitement. After more than half a year, he finally got it.

As soon as I opened the first chapter of the manuscript, that familiar smell hit my face. Wang Hai, an old man who had lived for half his life, actually lost track of time while watching it.

If Cheng Mo hadn't reminded him that it was time to go interview an assistant with him, he would have forgotten that he still had work to do today.

The story is so exciting that you can’t put it down.

Wang Hai immediately called editor Tang Ling in and handed the manuscript of "The First Dream" to her, asking her to proofread it first and then prepare for subsequent publication.

Tang Ling was so excited when she saw the signature "The Wind Rises in Loulan" that she almost screamed. It was because of this that she resigned from "Novel Monthly" and joined Huajianshe. Now for half a year, all she has been thinking about is meeting The author of "Ghost Husband" is "Fengqi Loulan", but more than half a year has passed, and she has not seen the author in person, and has not even submitted a manuscript.

Except for the general manager Wang Hai, no one in the agency knew his identity or even how he got the agency publishing agreement.

The president of Huajianshe is also very mysterious. He has not been seen for several months. It is said that he is a person with a background. Every time he comes, he is accompanied by the general manager Wang Hai. Every time he comes and leaves in a hurry, he does not know anyone.

How could she not be excited when she suddenly saw the manuscript of the new book "The Wind Rises in Loulan"? The reason she came to Huajian Club was for this author.
