Eating with a big shot is definitely not a pleasant thing.

There are various rules to abide by, and most of the things you say cannot be said carelessly, and even every word you say must be thought carefully.

Maybe one wrong sentence can completely ruin your future.

Meng Shaoyuan and Dai Li arrived very early.

They came empty-handed.

The more you don't bring anything with you when you visit the house of a big shot like these, the more likely they will treat you as one of their own.

The food on the table was not as rich as expected.

There are four dishes and one soup in total.

It was originally agreed to be at six o'clock, but it was almost 7 o'clock when Kong Xiangxi came back.

As soon as he came in, he apologized repeatedly: "It's late, it's late. When I was about to leave, I was called by the committee to talk about this year's financial projects. I'm really sorry."

Dai Li and Meng Shaoyuan stood up: "Minister Kong is busy with official duties and relies heavily on appointments. We have nothing to do. We just waited a few more minutes."

In fact, Meng Shaoyuan also knew that Dai Li absolutely did not mean what he said.

He has a lot of things waiting for him in both places.

"Come, let's have dinner, let's have dinner."

Kong Xiangxi invited them to sit down and asked the servant to bring a bottle of foreign wine and pour it into three wine cups: "Yunong, you have a large capacity for wine. Drink more. I can only drink two or three cups with you."

No matter how much Dai Li drinks, he can't drink as much as he did at Tang Zong's house that day.

"Xiao Meng." Kong Xiangxi's topic finally fell on Meng Shaoyuan: "I know all the things you did in Shanghai this time. You are very capable. I owe you a favor."

"I don't dare." Meng Shaoyuan said quickly: "It's the right thing to do for Minister Kong."

It's none of your Minister Kong's business, it's basically the chairman's business.

Know better than to tell the truth, this is what all smart people do.

"Okay, it's good for young people to know how to be humble." Kong Xiangxi nodded slightly: "Two days ago, when I was with the commissioner, he specifically mentioned you. You were not afraid of danger at the airport and made the plane land safely. Before that, you lent your wife a

The car... The commission asked me to ask you when I see you, are you comfortable in the car he gave you?"

"Comfortable, comfortable, much better than the car I had before."

What Kong Xiangxi asked was nonsense.

Even if the chairman of the committee gave him a broken car, would he dare to say that it would be uncomfortable to sit in it?

However, Kong Xiangxi specifically mentioned the chairman of the committee for an ulterior purpose.

This is to tell him that the chairman of the committee values ​​him very much, so let him work harder for the chairman of the committee.

Meng Shaoyuan has more than one boss, Dai Li.

It's like a big company. Dai Li is a department director, but the person who really manages the company is the chairman, general manager and chairman of the committee.

"Well, Yunong." Kong Xiangxi said immediately: "I have approved all the funds you reported. In addition, considering that after the Third Plenary Session of the Fifth Central Committee, your tasks will be more arduous, so with the approval of the Chairman, I will give you a special

An additional amount of funding was added.”

"Mr. Kong, thank you very much. You have done me a great favor."

Dai Li quickly thanked him.

Financial applications submitted by some units often go unfinished for several months.

The supervisors of those units often stay in Nanjing, hoping to find someone they can talk to and approve them as soon as possible.

But how can it be that easy?

I heard that some departments, such as the "Cultural Protection Department" established at the suggestion of the Americans, were originally Qingshui Yamen. I heard that last year's financial allocation is still in arrears.

Their minister's hair was falling out in handfuls in a hurry.

But what can be done? This department is meant for foreigners to see, who will really take you seriously?

That minister, who had previously worked well in the Ministry of Education, had offended some kind of deity, and ended up being placed in such a Qingshui Yamen.

For companies like Lixingshe, approving funds is relatively easy.

Especially now that Dai Li is receiving the favor of the Chairman.

"Xiao Meng." Kong Xiangxi looked careless: "I heard that you once rescued Tang Dujin? He was Song Ziwen's confidant. I think Song Ziwen also favored you."

Sure enough, I asked.

Fortunately, Dai Li had reminded him before.

Meng Shaoyuan briefly explained how he rescued Song Ziwen: "Minister Kong, the situation is roughly like this...Meng Shaoyuan is just a spy. I don't understand anything about Chairman Song's economic matters. So I paid a visit to Chairman Song."

After one time, there will be no more contact.”

Kong Xiangxi smiled with satisfaction.

This young man is really good and he knows how to never be a mere wallflower.

"Let's talk about business." Kong Xiangxi is also a smart man, and this kind of topic is just passed by: "Yunong, you said that you want to set up an armed ranger to deal with emergencies. How is it going?"

"Everything is being prepared step by step." Dai Li immediately replied: "Among them, Meng Shaoyuan's special operations group was established in the form of an armed ranger. In the future, I plan to establish ten to fifteen such groups..."

Why is Kong Xiangxi interested in these things?

Meng Shaoyuan found that Kong Xiangxi listened in great detail.

After Dai Li finished all the introductions, Kong Xiangxi nodded slightly: "This is a good thing, we must hurry up. After the Third Plenary Session of the Fifth Central Committee, the national trend has been clarified, and various places have spent a lot of money, but this armed ranger is very important. So, I am prepared to

In addition, we will allocate another amount of money to you, which is earmarked for special use. This money will not go into the government's accounts."

Meng Shaoyuan suddenly realized.

Song Ziwen had previously established a private armed tax police group, which was well-armed and was no less than a German weapon master.

Kong Xiangxi was jealous, and because he and Song Ziwen had conflicts and were competing with each other, they wanted to follow suit and set up a military force.

It's a pity that his talents are not as good as Song Ziwen's.

Song Ziwen of the Tax Police Corps has complete control, and the officers are all his people.

Where is Kong Xiangxi?

You actually want to build an armed force loyal to yourself through Lixingshe?

joke.

Dai Li, a tyrant of his generation, only knew how to be loyal to the Chairman of the Generalissimo. How could he use the weapons of Lixingshe for you?

At most, it's just relying on your financial power.

In addition, once the Anti-Japanese War broke out, all the armed rangers were thrown into the battlefield, and Kong Xiangxi's careful planning came to nothing.

Dai Li also knew this and said calmly: "This is very good. With the full support of Minister Kong, it will be much easier to do things. Meng Shaoyuan's special operations team is a template, with key support, other special operations teams will be in the future."

Let’s organize it as a special operations group.”

Meng Shaoyuan found that the meal was worth it.

The intrigues, jealousies, and intrigues among the upper echelons only allowed themselves to take advantage.
