Coming out of the Tivens Cafe, Chen Miao got on a tram, sat on Tibet Road, and then got down and walked to the Jockey Club building.

"Third brother, I haven't seen you for a few days, I heard that you are sick?" As soon as he entered the door, Ah Chengcheng, who was familiar with him, greeted him happily.

"Well, it's a little uncomfortable, and the doctor said it's heat stroke." Chen Miao nodded politely.

His position in the Jockey Club is not low, he is the assistant to the general manager, this position is usually qualified to be done by Westerners, and he can sit in this position because of his personal ability.

Of course, he is not the only assistant to the general manager of the Jockey Club, he is only one of the three assistants to the general manager John.

"Third brother, you have come back to cancel your vacation, Mr. John's temper has not been very good these days, all because of your absence." Eva, the beautiful white Russian lady at the front desk, bowed her head and whispered.

"Got it, thanks." Chen Miao responded lightly.

Since he has entered No. 76, the work of the Jockey Club will definitely not be able to continue, but I am afraid that there will be a lot of gray income in the future.

However, it doesn't matter, No. 76 is not a Qingshui organization, it is estimated that those people's means of making money are more ruthless and direct, even if he doesn't mix with it, he can't do without his own share, if he doesn't take the money, others will take it, besides, he can't be guilty of being in a group of traitor spies, pretending to be high.

Knock knock!

"Oh, my dear Sanshui, you finally came to work, you don't know, during the days when you were away, my work and life were simply a mess......" As soon as Chen Miao came in, General Manager John rushed over excitedly and gave him an acquaintance bear hug.

Chen Miao really didn't even have a chance to refuse, the injury on his left shoulder was squeezed again, and he broke out in a cold sweat from the pain, and if it continued like this, he doubted that his injury was okay, and if there were any sequelae, there would be no place to reason.

"Mr. General Manager, I'm really sorry, I'm here to resign from you today." Chen Miao put the resignation letter that had been prepared long ago on John's desk.

"Sanshui, are you serious?" John was stunned and looked at Chen Miao in disbelief.

"Mr. John, I'm serious." Chen Miao said, "I am very happy to be able to work under you, but there is an old Chinese saying that when it is time to separate, you must be separated. ”

“Why？ Am I not being paid enough? ”

"I may have a new life, and this job is not suitable for who I am now." Chen Miao didn't want to say it too bluntly, but it was already very clear.

Chen Mingchu searched his office with agents from No. 76 and took away his "typewriter", he didn't believe that John didn't know anything about it, and he couldn't guess his identity?

"Sanshui, are you sure you want to give up this job, I can increase your salary by another thirty percent, you are higher than both of them?" John still wants to use a high salary to retain Chen Miao, because Chen Miao's ability is the strongest among his three assistants, which can help him the most.

He didn't understand how difficult it was to find a high-paying job like his in the Shanghai Concession right now, and how many people were unemployed and struggling on the hunger line, but he had to give up.

"Actually, Frank is good, he's just a little lazy, as long as you can fire him for blackmail, I think he should be able to do my job." Chen Miao wants to leave by himself, and he can't be irresponsible, so he has to recommend someone to John who can replace him.

"That western cowboy, Frank?" John frowned, he didn't seem to have a very good impression of this person, but the person recommended by Chen Miao, he would still think about it seriously.

"If you confirm that he will take over my job, then I will have a handover with him in these two days." Chen Miao said.

John said helplessly: "Okay, Sanshui, since you are leaving, I will no longer force you to stay, you and Frank will hand over the work, and then come over to receive your final salary." ”

"Thank you, Mr. John." Chen Miao bent down slightly and bowed to John.

……

In the office of the Jockey Club, Chen Miao still had some personal belongings, he found a large cardboard box, put them away one by one, and then he told Frank the news of his resignation.

Flack was also surprised, but still accepted his resignation, and said that he would give him a farewell reception, but Chen Miao refused.

Then he quietly left through the side door of the Jockey Club with his belongings.

As for the rest of the salary, he didn't go to collect it, and if he had the opportunity to talk about it in the future, he wouldn't come to the Horse Racing Club again in a short time anyway.

Goodbye, Jockey Club.

Fortunately, he rented a safe house on Maiyang Road, otherwise he wouldn't even have a place to stay.

After a brief freshening up and changing into a clean shirt, Chen Miao went out again, and he asked Fu Yewen to have a drink at a Japanese tavern on Kaina Road in the evening.

When I came out, I found that the weather was a little hot, windless, and it was very likely to rain at night, so I turned back and took an old umbrella.

Chen Miao went out at half past six, and by the time he arrived at Kaina Road, it was already almost six forty, and the appointment time for Fu Yewen was about seven o'clock.

Therefore, there is still time to come.

In the Japanese-style tavern on Kaina Road, Fu Yewen didn't say the specific name, Chen Miao could only walk along the east and west of the street, looking for it one by one.

I found it, a Japanese-style tavern called "Chizuru", there are Japanese ronin samurai wearing clogs at the door, and there are also some Japanese in suits and leather shoes, and there are relatively few Chinese and Westerners in and out.

I don't know if it's this one, and if there's a second Japanese tavern on Kaina Road.

took out his pocket watch and looked at the time, Chen Miao continued to go west, until he walked the entire Kaina Road, and found that there was only this Japanese tavern.

Although Fu Yewen didn't say his name, he didn't let him find the chance to find the wrong place, because there was only this one on the whole road.

This is not Hongkou District, some Japanese-style pubs in Hongkou District, except for Japanese soldiers and Japanese expatriates, Chinese and Westerners are not allowed to enter.

As long as you are neatly dressed here, anyone can go in and spend it.

As soon as Chen Miao stepped into the door half a step, he saw two Japanese women in kimonos at the door bending down to salute him, and then stretched out their hands to make a "please enter" gesture.

Although Chen Miao doesn't agree with the Japanese aesthetics of painting pink and red, their etiquette of receiving people and things is really irreproachable.

In addition to the people who greet guests at the door, the shuttle service inside is also a woman wearing a kimono, and it is not clear whether they are all Japanese.

I heard that many of them came from the peninsula and the Tohoku.

Does Chen Miao know Japanese, of course he does, he is an intelligence editor, the target is still Japan, and he needs to read Japanese books and newspapers, if he doesn't know Japanese, then what else can he do in this job?

So, although he doesn't often go to Japanese taverns, he is still clear about the situation inside.

After a few skillful answers, the waitress in the kimono naturally thought of him as an authentic Japanese, and he still seemed to be a successful person.

Chen Miao walked around, but didn't see Fu Yewen, it should have been before he arrived, so he found a vacant seat near the window and sat down.

During this season, Japanese taverns also serve beer, mainly Asahi Beer, which is produced by Nippon Ale Co., Ltd., and after it is shipped to China, it is very expensive and ordinary people cannot afford to drink.

Then there is sake and shochu, as well as fruit wine.

Sake is a type of liquor fermented at a low temperature, with a lower degree and a slightly more expensive price.

As the name suggests, soju is a distilled liquor, and the degree is generally above 20 degrees, but it still has a softer taste than Chinese baijiu.

It is easy to understand that plum wine is a very special type of Japanese fruit wine, which is made by mixing plum juice, sake, and cautery.

Because Fu Yewen didn't come, Chen Miao just asked for a glass of water and waited for a while.

didn't wait long, I saw a black car drive by outside the window, stopped at the door of the tavern, and Fu Yewen got out of the car in a suit.

In addition to him, Chen Miao also saw a person, with Fu Yewen, the two talked and laughed, and they also entered the "Thousand Cranes" tavern together with each other.

"Brother Fu?"

Seeing the two of them coming in, Chen Miao stood up from his position and raised his hand to greet him.

When Fu Yewen saw Chen Miao, he also smiled, walked over with the man, pointed to the square-faced man who came over with him, and introduced: "Brother Chen, let me introduce, this is Tang Keming, the head of the Intelligence Section." ”

"Section Chief Tang, long admiration." Chen Miao stretched out her hand to go over.

Tang Keming smiled humorously: "Brother Chen's name, although I haven't seen you, I have already experienced your demeanor." ”

Chen Miao couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

"Brother Chen, did you forget, in the gun room in the morning?" Fu Yewen squeezed his eyes at Chen Miao and reminded him.

"Oh, it was just an accident, I really can't see a woman so arrogant and domineering......"

"Haha, it's just Brother Sanshui, you dare to say this, and blame Xiaoduan's big mouth, preaching it everywhere, and the entire No. 76 knows, it's inconvenient to talk in this hall, how about we change places?" Fu Yewen saw that there was no shelter in the vicinity, how could they talk and do things in public?

"There should be a private room here." Tang Keming said.

After some communication and request, I changed to a private room, so that the conversation was much more private.

"Brother Chen, what are you drinking?" Fu Yewen sat down, and said with the self-esteem of the master, "Forget, Brother Chen is injured, drink some plum bar, the plum wine here is good, it won't hurt you." ”

Chen Miao nodded.

"Keming, what about you?"

"I'm free." Tang Keming smiled, obviously he had a good relationship with Fu Yewen, otherwise they wouldn't be so casual, especially tonight Chen Miao only invited Fu Yewen alone, but he brought Tang Keming with him, which is enough to explain the problem.

"Then clear the bar, first come to Shihe (the unit of measurement of sake, one is about 180 ml, and it is served in a kind of porcelain bottle), isn't it enough to order again?" Fu Yewen said to himself, "The appetizers here are still good, first eight Fluttershy, braised beef, boiled edamame, crispy peanuts......"

"Hay." The waitress agreed, took the menu, and went down to prepare.

After sitting down to chat a few words, the waitress brought in the wine and food they ordered, which was very fast.

"Brother Chen is originally a talent in intelligence, my intelligence department is in need of a talent like you, and I don't know what Deputy Director Lin thinks, so he actually arranged you to go to the archives department, what does our archives department at No. 76 have, nothing?" Halfway through the wine, Tang Keming actually complained in front of Fu Yewen and Chen Miao.

"To be honest, there is no shortage of people in No. 76, but there is a shortage of professional talents like Brother Chen, and dealing with those Chongqing elements is really not something that Wu Yunfu can do......

"Brother Tang, you've drunk too much." Fu Yewen hurriedly stopped, "Brother Chen, as soon as this Tang Keming drinks too much, he talks nonsense, don't mind." ”

"It's okay, Brother Tang looks like a person with a true temperament." Chen Miao mostly played the role of a listener tonight, although he walked around No. 76 today and had a general understanding of the factional struggle in No. 76, but there are still many people who have not seen it, especially the captains of those action teams, and those who are not working in No. 76, which faction they belong to, which point still needs to be slowly figured out.

This Tang Keming obviously has a good relationship with Fu Yewen, one of them is in charge of intelligence, the other is in charge of secrets, they are all key departments, and they are deeply trusted by Lin Shiqun, but they think they are social elites, how can they not get along with people from the bottom like Wu Yunfu? Naturally, I looked down on it.

After all, Chen Miao came out of the special training class of the military commander, so he was naturally classified into the ranks of social elites like Tang Keming, and he instinctively had a sense of closeness.

Fu Yewen is willing to make friends, Chen Miao also needs to have friends at No. 76, not to mention that Fu Yewen is not so annoying, and has a close relationship with Lin Shiqun.

As for Tang Keming, he was pulled over by Fu Yewen, and he said some drinking and drunken words on the table, isn't this hinting at him, asking him to choose a side in Lin Shiqun's small circle?
