Chen Miao is not good at talking to women. Communication, which may be one of his few shortcomings.

I saw Bai Lu for the first time.

He is not tall, very beautiful, with shawl hair, navy blue cheongsam, and walks so elegantly, like a white orchid.

Intellectual, charming.

Chen Miao Cuncui looks at this famous female writer who is famous on the beach with an appreciative eye, and there is an admirer of her at home, who will never forget her.

However, how could such a high-minded writer get in touch with No. 76 and be recommended to go to Japan for an economic and cultural exchange group?

This is also what Chen Miao is puzzled in his heart, but he also knows that literati always have some attachments that are different from ordinary people, and they are sometimes more emotional than rational.

"Miss Bai Lu, what do you drink?"

"A cappuccino." Bai Lu beckoned, and the waiter came over and commanded softly.

"Latte, no added sugar." Chen Miao smiled slightly.

"What does Mr. Chen do at No. 76?" Bai Lu smiled shallowly and asked first.

"Oh, I'm just a handyman, sometimes a cameo photojournalist." Chen Miao smiled, he is also the vice president of "National News", and it is not wrong to be regarded as a cultural person.

"Miscellaneous?" There was a hint of a group in Bai Lu's eyes, obviously, she didn't believe what Chen Miao said, Lin Shiqun recommended a miscellaneous person to be a communication representative with her?

"Yes, I just do some work that others don't want to do and offend people." Chen Miao smiled and said, he said this, it is not a deception, strictly speaking, the inspectorate is a department that is angry at both ends, but he is better in this position, if he changes someone, he may be a transparent existence.

The other brothers don't like it, when something happens, when they are held accountable, they can't run away, but they are not angry at both ends, and they are all offending people?

"Mr. Chen said with a smile, although you are dressed very plainly, you are very clean and tidy, and you look like a person in a high position."

"How so?"

"As far as your sitting posture, as well as the tone and demeanor of your speech, this is not something that a small clerk can have." Bai Lu said, "There is an old Chinese saying that dwelling and moving qi and nourishing the body are transferred. It is said that a person will change his external temperament because of his identity and social status, just like Mr. Chen. ”

"Miss Bai is worthy of being a famous writer in Shanghai, admire, admire!"

"Mr. Chen has won the award." Bai Lu nodded slightly, "I don't know what Mr. Chen wants to know when he asks me out, or what instructions he has?" ”

What a smart woman.

Chen Miao nodded secretly in his heart, Lin Shiqun asked him to ask Bai Lu to come out alone to talk about it, naturally there was a purpose, to be exact, it was related to a Japanese economic exchange group, and this time there were not only poets, families, but also historians and so on.

Of course, these people were specially selected by the Japanese military department, and they were basically **** people who supported aggression against China.

"Miss Bai, there are two Japanese writers in this exchange group, I don't know if you have heard of it?"

"I haven't gotten the list of people for the exchange group yet."

"Then let me introduce you first, one of the two Japanese writers is the same as Miss Bai, and he is also a female writer, his name is Miyata Fumiko, and the other is Mishima Hawk."

Bai Lu nodded: "Miyata Fumiko, this name is familiar to me, I seem to have heard it somewhere, as for this Mishima Hawk, I don't know it, can you introduce the lives and works of the two of them?" ”

"Of course, Fumiko Miyata, born in 1903 in Shimonoseki, Yamaguchi, Japan, her father was a small merchant in the countryside, and she was an illegitimate daughter, abandoned by her father at the age of seven, moved to Tokyo with her mother, and worked as a maid, a female worker and a clerk after graduating from high school, because she usually loves to write...... She was also the only female writer among the Japanese writers......"

"As for Mishima Hawk, this person has never been to China, and I am not very familiar with his situation, but I know that he is not very old and his writings are unknown." Seeing that Bai Lu was listening and didn't interrupt him, Chen Miao continued.

"Thank you, Mr. Chen, for providing me with these materials, this has helped me a lot, if we don't even know who the other party is and what books they have, then how can we communicate?"

"Yes, this trip is mainly communicated by Miss Bai Lu, and I'm just doing some work within my ability, such as taking pictures, serving tea and water, etc." Chen Miao smiled.

"Mr. Chen is too modest." Bai Lu said, "I have read several articles of Mr. Chen in the National News. ”

"Miss Bai has read the article I wrote?" Chen Miao was very surprised, he occasionally wrote a series of small essays on "National News" to smear himself with the powder of cultural people, and he used not his real name, but the pen name "Da Mengsheng", which very few people know.

"Director Lin mentioned it, I found a few of your past articles and read them, and I saw that Mr. Chen is a person who understands life, and he observes the people and things around him very carefully, and the taste of the market is evocative." Bai Lu smiled slightly and said.

"Miss Bai, is this praising me?"

"Mr. Chan is a talented person, that's for sure."

"Really?" Chen Miao laughed, how he wrote it himself, he knew it himself, it can only be said that the writing is smooth, ordinary people can read and understand it, if you want to talk about literary style, it is really not at all, Bai Lu said that what he wrote has a 'market' flavor, and I don't know whether it is praise or sarcasm.

"Mr. Chen is married?" Bai Lu glanced at the ring on Chen Miao's left ring finger and said.

"yes, it just ended last year."

"Mr. Chen's wife must be quite beautiful, right?"

"Of course."

"Mr. Chen's answer was so confident, which piqued my interest, can I have a chance to visit it in person?" Bai Lu asked.

"Miss Bai can be a guest at the Humble House, then I am naturally welcome." Chen Miao remained silent, the first time they met, Bai Lu actually proposed to visit her home, which seemed a little impolite.

"Thank you."

"Miss Bai, it's not early, I still have something to deal with, if you don't dislike it, I'll take you home by car, or, do you have other arrangements?" Chen Miao felt that the first conversation could be over, and there was nothing to talk about if she continued to chat, instead of sitting here and being embarrassed, it was better to take the initiative and end it directly, and it was not a blind date, so there was no need to care about the other party's feelings.

"I'll sit down for a while, and then I'll go back by myself, Mr. Chen, if you're busy, don't worry about me." Bai Lu nodded elegantly.

"Okay, Miss Bai, I've signed the account, Miss Bai can just leave in a while, no need to tip anymore." Chen Miao nodded, and turned around and left directly.

……

Not long after Chen Miao left, a middle-aged man in a gray robe, a black hat, and a book under his arm pushed open the door of the café and walked in.

Seeing Bai Lu, he nodded slightly, walked over, and sat down with his back to Bai Lu.

"How's it going, seeing him?"

"yes, I see." Bai Lu picked up the cappuccino and took a small sip.

"How does it feel?"

"He reacts quickly, speaks very carefully, has a good grasp of the rhythm of the conversation, and is a very difficult person to grasp." Bai Lu thought for a moment and commented.

"Don't have too much contact with him, this person is a very powerful person, if you are seen by him, it will be trouble." The green shirt is humane.

"Then I just said that I was going to visit his house?"

"It's okay, his wife is the famous 'Pingdan' queen on the beach, you two can get to know each other, but don't have a deep relationship."

"I understand, Lin Shiqun has promised to keep in touch with us secretly, what should I do next?" Bai Lu asked.

"It's an honorable task to be close to him, to get to know him, to be part of his life, and to become like them in order to get what we want."

"I see."

"I'm leaving, it's up to you here, Lao Xu will be your liaison, if there is anything, you can go to him." The man in the green shirt lowered his head and whispered while drinking coffee.

"Hmm."

……

Chen Miao turned off the radio.

Yichang once again fell into the hands of the Japanese, and the Japanese base camp had no intention of occupying Yichang, and they were ready to evacuate after completely destroying the fortifications of Yichang.

The Battle of Zaoyi is over, and the aftermath of the war is still spreading, and this defeat has dealt a huge blow to the morale and morale of the anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians in Chongqing and even the whole country.

Yichang is the gateway to Chongqing, and if the Japanese army occupies Yichang for a long time and builds an advance airfield, Chongqing will be under the direct attack of the Japanese air force by virtue of the air supremacy held by the Japanese army.

It's a huge threat.

As far as the current situation is concerned, no one predicted what would happen next, and in Europe, after the German occupation of Europe, began to digest the fruits of victory, and even rumors of peace negotiations with Britain were even spread at one point.

The strange situation in Europe and the uncertainty of East Asia have suddenly entered a period of relative peace in the world.

In fact, everyone is preparing for the next big battle.

An even more tragic war is yet to come.

Chen Miao has already received the news from Ryuo Xilin, and in this exchange group, Ozaki is also on the list, and he is also here as an adviser to the Ministry of Economy of the Manchurian Railway.

Ozaki must have come here at this time to carry important information about possible changes in Japan's domestic political situation, and the Japanese government will completely turn to that and that direction, which is now a serious concern for the whole world.

After all, Japan has not completely broken with Britain and the United States, and although Japan is already an ally of Germany and Italy, Japan has not followed in Germany's footsteps and severed relations with Britain and the United States in order to obtain imports of scrap steel, oil, and rubber from the United States.

China is also very curious to know where Japan's policy will turn next, and this is undoubtedly stepping on a key juncture for China's anti-Japanese cause.
