Espionage codename: Shen Gongbao

Wang Xuesen returned to his office and leaned back in his chair, deep in thought.

The amount on the list is as high as two thousand yuan.

Ding Mocun said it was a special fund directly allocated to Tang Huimin, and that he was urging them to hurry up.

This is no small sum.

What is Tang Huimin doing?

Li Shiqun would never agree to the purchase of guns or the recruitment of personnel.

Tang was mainly in charge of the education sector.

Since Dingmo Village has moved out of Zhou Fohai's village, it is highly likely that the funds are for printing pro-Japanese newspapers or for subversion.

The matter is urgent.

We need to find out more details.

If the goal is to win over the enemy, it would be best to thwart the plans of these traitors, turn the tables on Tang Huimin, and curry favor with Li Shiqun.

This is a win-win situation!

Thinking of this, Wang Xuesen hummed a little tune and walked towards the accounting office on the first floor.

"Director Wang."

Every now and then, acquaintances would greet me.

Wang Xuesen didn't put on airs; he offered cigarettes and waved to everyone.

Arrived at the accounting office.

Ye Jiqing was chatting with two young men while cracking sunflower seeds.

"Oh, Director Wang is here."

"You guys chat, I have something to do with the action team, I'll be going now." The man with a scar on his forehead stood up, nodded to Wang Xuesen, and left first.

"Take care, Captain Yang." Wang Xuesen smiled and nodded.

He didn't know this person.

However, judging from his striking resemblance to Ye Jiqing, it is not difficult to guess that he is Ye Jiqing's younger brother, Yang Jie, the captain of the second team of the action brigade.

"Hey, Xuesen, what a rare guest!" Ye Yaoxian quickly stood up and said.

"Mrs. Li, Director Ye," Wang Xuesen greeted her with a slight bow.

"You, why don't you come and introduce yourself?"

"Anyone who didn't know better would think that I, the head of the accounting department, am just like Old Tang, and that I don't get along with you."

Ye Yaoxian smiled and led the way to a tea table, where he immediately began to stir up trouble.

"Director Ye, I..." Wang Xuesen had just picked up the list when Ye Yaoxian smiled and said, "Sister, we're almost out of tea. I'll go to the general affairs office to get a box. You two can chat."

"Xuesen, have some tea."

"Director Ding has given you another difficult task, hasn't he?" Ye Jiqing said, gracefully sliding the lid of the cup with her delicate fingers.

"Nothing can be hidden from you, Madam."

"Mao Ziming couldn't secure the funding, so it's fallen on my shoulders now."

"I'm pleasing neither side right now."

"I'm causing you trouble here, and you don't even like me over there. Sigh, if I weren't afraid of letting Mr. Wang down, I would resign right now."

"Don't you think I could make more money and have an easier time doing some business in the foreign concessions than this?"

Wang Xuesen poured out his grievances as if he were seeing his own sister.

"Wherever there are people, there is a world of its own."

"It's not easy to gain a foothold anywhere in this world."

"Here, I'll sign it for you."

Ye Jiqing gently accepted the note, signed it, and stamped it.

"No, Madam, this is no small sum. Aren't you going to ask about it?" Wang Xuesen said in surprise.

"Sign first, then ask questions."

"Old Li thinks highly of you and has given me word that your case will be handled specially," Ye Jiqing said with a smile.

"You're still closest to Director Li."

"I truly... have no way to repay you," Wang Xuesen said gratefully.

"You are welcome."

"Didn't Sibao and Aizhen both tell you? We're family!"

"However, this amount of money is a bit excessive. What did Director Ding say?"

Ye Jiqing's smile vanished, and he asked.

Wang Xuesen got up, walked to the door, looked around, closed the door behind him, returned to the sofa, and said in a low voice:

"They didn't say exactly what it was, but they vaguely mentioned that it was special funding for Tang Huimin."

"oh."

"Director Ding also said that you can call Mr. Fo Hai for more information."

A hint of wariness flashed in Ye Jiqing's eyes. After a moment's consideration, she smiled again and said, "Xuesen, go get the money. I'm thinking of picking a day when it's convenient for you to come to my house for a visit."

"I'm very happy with what you sent me."

"Madam, as you know, I just enjoy playing around. I don't have the skills to deal with guns and cannons or engage in fighting, but I have plenty of connections when it comes to rouge and cosmetics."

"American goods, French goods, British goods, whatever you want, just say the word."

"I'm not bragging."

"Anything Madame Chiang uses, as long as you recognize its name, I can get my hands on it for you."

Wang Xuesen flattered.

"Really?" Ye Jiqing's eyes lit up with excitement.

That was Madame Chiang Kai-shek, who enjoyed all the riches and fashion trends of the world!

If I could enjoy the same level of luxury as her, I would feel incredibly proud.

"Madam, do you think I have a few heads to lie to you?" Wang Xuesen chuckled.

"I knew you were capable."

"Go ahead and get busy. Come to the accounting office and chat with me when you're free." Ye Jiqing liked this kid more and more.

A clever and worldly-wise person.

Only idiots like Ding Mocun and Tang Huimin would push things out.

As soon as Wang Xuesen left, Ye Jiqing picked up the phone and dialed Li Shiqun's office number: "Old Li, Tang Huimin withdrew two thousand yuan, saying it was special funds. Have Sibao send someone to secretly investigate what this guy is up to."

"Don't let him get away with this."

After hanging up the phone, Ye Jiqing hugged her ample bosom and laughed.

Wang Xuesen was deliberately tipping him off.

The little guy holds a grudge quite a bit.

This means they're joining forces with their own husband, Lao Li, to get revenge on Tang Huimin.

Get on track.

Getting it right!

……

Wang Xuesen went to the finance department to collect the money and then knocked on Ding Mocun's office door.

I entered the office.

Ding Mocun was talking to Tang Huimin, and judging from their expressions, the two were not having a very pleasant conversation.

"Director Ding, Director Tang," Wang Xuesen said with a smile.

"Did you get the money?" Tang Huimin asked impatiently.

"Got it."

Wang Xuesen took out the paper bag containing the banknotes and placed it on his desk.

"Great, Lao Ding, with this money I'm sure I can..." Tang Huimin glanced at Wang Xuesen, then hesitated.

"Old Tang, this money isn't easy to get. You should thank Xue Sen." Ding Mocun was just about to do Wang Xue Sen a favor.

"Thank you, Deputy Director Wang."

Tang Huimin coldly tossed out a sentence, took the money, stuffed it into his bag, and left.

"Director, you see, this isn't me holding a grudge."

"I almost knelt down to Ye Jiqing to get this money back. I don't know how much money my wife will lose to her at the mahjong table tomorrow."

"I've been busy here, inside and out... sigh!"

Wang Xuesen shrugged speechlessly.

"Xuesen, I've seen your good intentions. Old Tang is just like that, calm down." Ding Mocun had no choice but to comfort him.

"Did Ye Jiqing ask?" he asked.

"I told her that Mr. Fo Hai knew about this, so she didn't ask any more questions, but she approved it reluctantly, especially the funding for your eight-man guard," Wang Xuesen said.

"That bitch!"

"Get the chamber of commerce matters done quickly, quickly."

Ding Mocun cursed bitterly and urged again.

"Director, please continue with your work." Wang Xuesen bowed and withdrew.

He is, after all, a newcomer.

Ding and Tang have been partners for a long time, and now that things are getting heated, Ding can see through Tang's ulterior motives at a glance.

Only by nourishing things silently, seeping in little by little.

This is equally devastating to someone like Ding Mocun, who is arrogant, sensitive, and suspicious.

come back to the office.

Wang Xuesen stood behind the curtains, peering downstairs through the gaps.

Tang Huimin hurriedly got into the car with his trusted confidante Ying Ying.

About a few minutes later.

He saw Wu Sibao change into civilian clothes and lead a few people out of the gate by car.

They must have gone to keep an eye on Tang Huimin.

……

Five o'clock in the afternoon.

Wang Xuesen stood at the window and saw Wu Sibao's car return.

He lit a cigarette, took a couple of puffs, glanced at his watch to check the time, and then picked up his briefcase and walked into the lobby.

"Hey, Captain Wu." Wang Xuesen, seemingly having run into him by chance, greeted him, pretending it was a coincidence.
