The Bourne Counterattack

Chapter 386 Charity Sale
Although the harmony between the husband and wife did not return to the previous one that night, at least there was no such big gap.

time.

It all takes time to make up for it.

Early the next morning, Jiang Liyao breathed a sigh of relief when she saw her daughter coming downstairs with Cheng Mo's support and a smile on her face.

Originally she wanted to talk to Cheng Mo, but now it seemed that it was not necessary. The young couple should resolve their matters themselves.

Quarrels at the head of the bed and peace at the end of the bed are perfectly normal between couples.

After breakfast.

Cheng Mo drove to Laozha Fang for work.

This week has been pretty bad, and Cheng Mo is not in the mood to do anything. Fortunately, Xu Qinghe, Lu Le and others helped him share the burden, so nothing serious went wrong.

Nothing big happened this week, otherwise I would be really blind.

He had to take one look and understand what was going on.

"Okay, thank you, boss." Xu Qinghe said, "Then you can watch first, I'm out to get busy."

There really weren't many things going on last week, but there were two things that caught Cheng Mo's eye. First, the Workers' Relief Society was holding a large-scale charity sale. All such charity sales must be reported to the police station. Large-scale events must be reported to the patrol bureau. Under control, otherwise, if something goes wrong, who will be responsible? The patrol room must arrange police forces in advance to maintain public order. Secondly, the White Russian mixed-race woman Niu Meibo they have been paying attention to actually got into the job rescue association and became a job rescuer. The right-hand man of Mr. Mao, the director-general of the association...

These two things were enough to remind Cheng Mo of that far-reaching assassination.

They now have Tan Shaoliang. For him, that is just a backup. Tan Shaoliang is closer to No. 76 and the Military Police.

"Boss, this is last week's briefing. I guess you must read it when you come today. Let's sort it out first." Xu Qinghe handed Cheng Mo a piece of information.

Everyone has their own information cocoon, especially in the Republic of China era when information was underdeveloped and relatively closed.

But there will still be such situations.

Plus she's now better at hiding and disguising.

The so-called briefing is a summary of a week's work. It lists the things done during the week one by one. It does not require any rhetorical writing. It only requires that things can be explained concisely and clearly. The simpler the better, even if it is just a few words, Cheng Mo wouldn't care.

And he belongs to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. People in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs are more disciplined in doing things, unlike those ruffians in the gendarmerie who do things by force.

Niu Meibo is not a household name in Shanghai, but at least he is a celebrity. Since he became a lackey of the Japanese, he naturally does not need to lower his profile anymore, but he is not unrecognizable, right?
Also, she was not in a social circle to begin with. Niu Meibo became famous four or five years ago. Today, it is hard to say how many people still remember her beautiful name.

At the moment, the only thing we can do is to take one step at a time and see what the Japanese want to do.

Many people cannot even go outside their living areas and know nothing about the outside world. Shanghai is already considered open.

When a person in a superior position really needs to do something personally, it is because the people under him are too bad. A real superior person can grasp the general direction, provide guidance, and then provide everyone with good logistics support, then he is basically qualified.

"Okay, I'll take a look at it later. I had something to do at home last week, so I couldn't take care of it. Thank you for your trouble. You can make an appointment later and I'll treat everyone to dinner." Cheng Mo said, although he is not good at sociability, but he can win over his subordinates. I still know the method.

"Go." Cheng Mo will have a regular meeting later, and he just has time before the regular meeting to finish reading this briefing.

Cheng Mo considered whether to remind the other party?
Now that I have encountered it, I can't ignore it. I definitely can't disclose it. I have to find a trustworthy channel.

Don't rush this matter now, Niu Meibo probably won't carry out the assassination so quickly.

…Society Relief Society Office.

"Sir, our charity sale application has been submitted to the police station, but it's still uncertain whether it will be approved this time. Last time, it was delayed..."

Mr. Mao also had a sad look on his face. Promoting anti-Japanese resistance in the concession and raising cold clothes and other supplies for the anti-Japanese people are not easy tasks, although the concession authorities will not stop you from holding charity sales to "aid refugees."

But they will do evil in secret, and even those No. 76 agents will disguise themselves as ordinary people and attack the charity venue, smash and loot, and make a good charity event a mess.

They don't know how many times they have experienced this, but they have never been discouraged or given up. Instead, they have become more courageous with each setback.

The less their enemies want them to do something, the more they will do it.

"There is also the issue of the venue. Xinxin Company, Yiyuan Dog Running Park, and the American Women's Rescue Society all agreed originally, but now they all regretted it..."

Mr. Mao rubbed his eyebrows and asked, "Is there any alternative address?"

"Sir, there are too few suitable venues for us to hold large-scale charity sales in the concession. The land is too small to spread out, and the space is too big for us to rent."

This is a real problem.

"Just saying, are there any places to choose from?"

"There is one thing, but they may not be willing to rent it to us..." said a weak female voice in the corner.

"Where?"

“Continental swimming pool.”

"Swimming pool, we are going to a charity sale, why are we renting a swimming pool? It's so funny..." Before he could finish, someone directly refuted it.

"The Continental Swimming Pool is an open-air swimming pool. It is only open in the summer. At other times, it is used for other purposes. It is usually rented to circus performances. But now, their boss has just changed people, and no circus has moved in yet. Now that area is Empty…”

"The rent isn't cheap, is it?"

"The rent is indeed not cheap, but do you know who the current owner of this mainland swimming pool is?"

"Who?"

"It's Cheng Mo, the detective from the Political Section of Laozha Capture House. The approval procedures for our charity sale also have to go through his hands."

"Sir, do you see?"

When Mr. Mao heard this, his eyes lit up: "We can give it a try. If we can accept their rent conditions, even if they are higher, we might be able to save a lot of trouble."

"We're just renting it for three days, can they agree?"

"If it's empty, it's empty, and you can't receive any money, so it's not a waste..."

"But the problem is, who should we rent to? We can't go directly to Inspector Cheng, right?"

"No, let's find out first how this mainland swimming pool is rented out, and then we can find someone to talk to." Mr. Mao raised his hand and said decisively, "I'd better go in person. This will show sincerity. Time does not wait. People, we are collecting more and more items. If we no longer organize charity sales, I’m afraid there will be no place to put them.”
