My girlfriend is from 1949

Chen Huai'an happily held the camera, carefully checking the surface for any other marks.

But the previous owner took good care of it and maintained it well; there were no scratches or anything.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be labeled as grade nine and sold for nearly twenty gold bars!

In the most prominent position on the counter is Polaroid's latest camera, which is priced at only $89.

That adds up to only 263 silver dollars.

The difference is enormous.

However, for Chen Huai'an, being able to buy this Leica camera was already a great deal.

If brought back to the world of 2025, it would generate a profit of 700 million yuan after deducting all expenses.

With that money, you can buy 7000 grams of gold, based on the current price of 12 yuan per gram in December.

Each small yellow croaker weighs 31.25 grams, and 224 small yellow croakers can be cast.

This deal is a guaranteed huge profit!

Chen Huai'an fiddled with the camera, waiting for the salesperson to issue the invoice.

But his ears perked up as he heard Wang Hai's whispered report.

"public security bureau?"

A thought subconsciously popped into my head: I haven't had a foot massage in months, what does the police want with me? Could it be that technician number 88 has been arrested?

Chen Huai'an shook his head, trying to banish the strange thought from his mind.

Even if technician number 88 was indeed arrested, shouldn't it be the newly established police station in New World that's looking for him?

Lin Wan nodded in agreement: "We'll head over now."

They glanced at each other, and instantly understood each other through a knowing look.

Chen Huai'an didn't say much, and simply said, "Let's go."

Then he picked up the disguised camera from the counter and handed it out.

He smiled and said, "Comrade Wang, could you please carry this for me?"

Wang Hai was stunned, his wide eyes filled with surprise and joy.

As one of the few people who knew the inside story, I naturally knew what was inside that box.

That's the most advanced and latest camera in the future world.

And it's colorful!

He saw the results of the filming firsthand at the villa last night.

Not only does it have vibrant colors, but its clarity is also exceptionally high.

The black-and-white cameras of their time are incomparable!

Wang Hai is, after all, just a young man in his twenties, so he's naturally drawn to new things.

I wanted to touch it last night, but I was too embarrassed to ask because of how expensive and advanced the equipment was.

Now that I'm being held, I'm naturally happy to do so.

Even if I can't operate it, I still feel happy holding it in my hands.

Chen Huai'an then picked up his Leica camera and took a picture of the salesperson.

The mechanized rotation of the internal parts makes it a truly enjoyable user experience.

Suddenly, I realized that the digital camcorder I bought for 20,000 yuan yesterday wasn't so appealing anymore.

Holding the camera in both hands, I took a picture every now and then along the way.

He couldn't help but chuckle to himself: "When I get back and develop the photos, will people believe they were really taken during the Republic of China era?"

As the group walked out of the department store, a black sedan was already parked on the side of the road.

Chen Huai'an sat in the back seat, riding in a car he had only ever seen in movies and TV shows before.

However, aside from being new, the riding experience was truly indescribable.

Because of its simple chassis structure, the suspension system is mainly composed of leaf springs.

Therefore, the bumps are very noticeable when driving.

In terms of riding experience, it's not even as good as the Wuling minivan.

There weren't many vehicles on the road, but they weren't traveling very fast.

The presence of many rickshaws also affected the speed.

Even in the busiest areas, it's slower than a rickshaw!

More than ten minutes later, the car drove through the gate.

Soldiers in yellow uniforms guarded the entrance, and the previous police station sign had been replaced with a white sign with black lettering that read "Public Security Bureau".

Chen Huai'an looked out the car window and saw many people coming and going.

There were PLA soldiers wearing yellow cloth uniforms, some of whom had signs for the "Military Control Commission" on their arms, while others had signs for the "Public Security Bureau".

In addition, many veteran police officers in black uniforms were retained.

This also draws on the experience of the liberation of Beiping: old police officers who have not had the blood of underground party members on their hands can be retained.

If blood is stained, then they must face the judgment of the people and receive the punishment they deserve for their evil deeds!

Shanghai had only just been liberated, and these old police officers hadn't even had time to change into new uniforms yet.

However, the entry and exit were orderly, and there were obviously no problems during the liberation process.

In fact, the peaceful liberation of the Shanghai Police Bureau was due not only to the efforts of the comrades in the Police Commission.

Director Lu, the newly appointed scapegoat director, also played a crucial role.

If it weren't for his intervention to appease them, many of the desperados would have fought to the death.

Originally, Mao Sen only wanted to find someone to stand up and save the situation when the building was about to collapse.

He was able to represent himself and lead the police in a resolute resistance!

Unfortunately, he miscalculated.

It was his personal appointment that gave this scapegoat even greater power.

After Mao Sen fled, he became the de facto controller.

If Mao Sen, far away in Zhoushan, knew that the successor he personally selected had long been secretly colluding with the underground party, he would have been unaware.

They must be kicking themselves now.

Although the Public Security Bureau was established, in order to ensure a smooth transition, Director Lu continued to serve as the director.

However, on the surface, he is the head of a bureau and has jurisdiction over everyone.

However, the one who truly controlled the Public Security Bureau was Deputy Director Ding Yonghua.

The intelligence transmitted from his communication station saved the lives of many comrades.

At the height of the Kuomintang reactionaries' madness, he opened up secret channels to rescue democrats and send them to Beiping.

Director Lu also knew that he was only in a temporary position and would probably be transferred to another post in less than a year to make way for the deputy director.

Therefore, he kept a low profile in the bureau, usually staying in his office and ignoring everything else, rarely showing his face.

Every decision made must be approved by the deputy director before it can be implemented.

For Director Lu, being able to continue serving in the new government was already more than enough.

Led by Wang Hai, the three arrived at an office with a sign that read "Deputy Director".

The office door was open.

dong dong dong~

He knocked lightly a few times and politely said, "Director, Director Ding, Mr. Chen has arrived."

Zheng Changlin was chatting with another middle-aged man in a yellow military uniform when he heard the voice and immediately came over.

Ding Yonghua only needed one glance to determine that the young man dressed like a playboy was none other than the rumored Comrade Chen Huai'an.

That kind of temperament is something that people in this era can hardly imitate.

Ding Yonghua, as the de facto head of the H City Public Security Bureau, was qualified in terms of both rank and loyalty.

In the future, we will need his cooperation in many things.

Therefore, with the approval of their superiors, they informed Chen Huai'an and Lin Wan of the secret.

First, I closed the door, then I held your hands.

He smiled warmly and said, "Comrade Huai'an, thank you for your support of the Public Security Bureau. Based on the information you provided, more than a thousand spies have been arrested since last night!"
