Chapter 207 Dehe Tower

Jinling Dehe Tower is the favorite meeting place for the upper class of the Guo Party and dignitaries. The entire hotel is as high as six floors, making it the tallest building in Jinling City.

Zuo Zhong parked the car at the entrance of the hotel, and walked in with Director Li. The clerk recognized that the person was a regular customer, Director Li, and hurried forward to greet him.

"Mr. Li, there are dozens of freshly caught mandarin fish in the river today, and they are just right. Do you want the kitchen to serve you a squirrel mandarin fish?"

While taking over the coats of the two, the man proficiently promoted the signature dishes, as if live mandarin fish had become a rarity in the Republic of China.

Director Li smiled and looked at Zuo Zhong: "How about Secretary Shen, the squirrel mandarin fish here is really delicious, and many officers are full of praise after eating it."

Zuo Zhong looked around the lobby environment, and said nonchalantly, "Mum Shen never does things like following others' opinions, and asked the back chef to serve us Japanese dishes."

The guy shut his mouth decisively. Although it is a restaurant that specializes in Huaiyang cuisine, because it wants to entertain guests from all over the world, Dehelou naturally has chefs who cook foreign dishes, including Japanese dishes.

Zuo Chong and his wife chose a small box, and the waiter warmly handed over hot towels and brewed the new tea from that year. The service was very thoughtful, worthy of an old-brand restaurant.

Director Li wiped his face with a hot towel, and discussed with Zuo Zhong various secrets about the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The clerk quickly arranged the dishes and left in a low voice.

"Two gentlemen, the tableware has been prepared for you, please use it slowly."

Director Li, who was chatting, waved his hands, and the waiter stepped back from the private room respectfully, walked through the hotel lobby, back kitchen, and warehouse with a natural expression, and finally carefully opened the back door and stuck his head out to look around.

There was a person who had been waiting for a long time in the alley at the back door. When he saw the clerk, he beckoned immediately. The two whispered in their ears for a while. After the conversation, the person handed the clerk a thick stack of banknotes.

And farther away, Wu Chunyang recorded the time and events in his hand, and asked in a low voice: "Take a picture immediately, can you take a clear picture of that Jin Jiang?"

"I can't take a clear picture, the main thing is that it would be better if the distance is closer." The spy who took the photo replied regretfully.

Wu Chunyang shook his head: "It's fine if you can't get the picture clearly, the other party is a professional spy, and you must not startle the enemy by making mistakes. You should first remember the appearance of that guy clearly."

After a day of tracking, he found that the opponent's anti-tracking methods were very professional, and his actions were very decisive. He disappeared from view several times. If he didn't have the home court advantage, he might have lost it.

Facing an opponent of this level, one cannot be too careful. If possible, Wu Chunyang would prefer to conduct technical monitoring throughout the entire process. The risk of personal tracking is too great and it is easy to be exposed.

Over there, Jin Jiang gave the salary to the clerk, gave some instructions in a low voice, then turned around and walked out of the alley, and got into a car by the side of the road. Sitting in the car was Liang Yuandong, the director of Renxin Hospital.

"How about it?"

"The hotel I booked this morning. After entering, the two of them talked about the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. There are no abnormal extra seats or suspicious guests in the hotel. The environment is safe."

After hearing this, Liang Yuandong made a decision: "I'll go in and find out later. You watch outside. After dinner, follow up with Shen and go to his residence to have a look."

Jin Jiang nodded upon hearing the words: "Yes, Dean."

At this time, in the box, plates of exquisite Japanese food were brought up. Zuo Zhong and Director Li ate and drank at the same time. The atmosphere was very lively. Zuo Zhong learned some inside information about the Ministry of Foreign Affairs from the conversation.

For example, Dean Wang wanted to intervene in the personnel appointments of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs several times, but was pushed back by Director Chen's department. Of course, there was a bald shadow behind him, and the two sides fought repeatedly.

Zuo Zhong said with a smile: "It seems that our Dean Wang has a lot of ambitions. The chairman of the committee allowed him to come back from Germany, which is considered a special kindness."

Director Li drank two more glasses of sake, and his mouth was unreliable: "Who says it's not, the surname Wang wants to wrestle with the Chairman, it's really beyond his control."

In the eyes of many people, Dean Wang is too weak in character, has no position, and is not a leader worth following. Who would have thought that he would be so courageous and do such a big thing later.

"Deng Deng."

The chat was interrupted by a knock on the door, Zuo Zhong raised his eyebrows at Director Li, today's main character is finally going to appear on stage, it's not in vain for them to act for so long.

Zuo Zhong cleared his throat: "Whoever is, you can't even eat a meal safely."

"Secretary Shen, I'm Liang Yuandong."

Immediately, Liang Yuandong's characteristic scumbag voice sounded outside the door, very respectful.

Zuo Zhong immediately patted the table hard and cursed: "MD, come in."

Director Li was taken aback by this. He didn't know why Section Chief Zuo was targeting the target like this. Could it be that he wasn't afraid that Liang Yuandong would leave in a fit of anger.

Liang Yuandong opened the door and walked in, not angry at being insulted at all, with a humble smile on his face, he warmly greeted Zuo Zhong and the others.

"Hello Director Li, hello Secretary Shen, I didn't expect such a coincidence that we meet again here."

Zuo Chong poked Yusheng with his chopsticks, squinted and sneered, "It's really a coincidence, the surname is Liang, you don't want to take revenge on me out of unwillingness, do you?"

Liang Yuandong's smile was even bigger, and he waved his hands again and again: "Of course not, there are only ten large yellow croakers. Liang doesn't pay attention to them. Secretary Shen can rest assured."

The tone was loud, it seemed a bit seductive, hearing that there was something to be gained, a dude like Zuo Zhong should find a way to make some more money.

It's a pity that Zuo Zhong's purpose today was not to play cards according to the routine. After hearing these words, he didn't even look at Liang Yuandong, but picked up his wine glass.

"Director Li touches another one, don't spoil the interest of irrelevant people."

This sentence was quite blunt. Director Li smiled on the surface and drank the cup, but he was sweating in his heart, for fear that the situation would get out of control.

This was his first secret mission, and if something went wrong, he would not be able to explain it to Dai Chunfeng. Without the support of the Secret Service, his future would be in jeopardy.

Seeing Liang Yuandong standing aside, looking respectful without saying a word, Director Li pondered for a while and decided to say a few words, just to help Section Chief Zuo with a set of words.

So he put down his wine glass, tilted his head and said to Liang Yuandong: "Mr. Liang, you are a bit abrupt like this. It is not a good habit to follow others."

Liang Yuandong cupped his hands and smiled wryly: "The two officers really misunderstood Liang. I passed by and saw Secretary Shen's car, so I wanted to come up to say hello."

This explanation is very reasonable. It seems that the other party has thought about the possible problems before coming in, and it is difficult to deal with. Director Li smacked his lips and looked at Zuo Zhong.

Zuo Zhong put down the chopsticks in his hand and turned his head to look at Liang Yuandong. Liang Yuandong was not guilty at all, there was no dodge in his eyes, and a sincere smile filled his face.

Zuo Zhong seemed to think for a while, and finally let go: "Since you're here, sit down, don't say I won't give you a chance, if you have something to do, talk about it quickly."

Liang Yuandong didn't explain, he took out a stack of things from his purse, put his hands on the table respectfully, and then took a few steps back.

Zuo Zhong chuckled, and he didn't mind that Director Li was sitting beside him. He reached out and picked up the stack of things to look at. It was the bearer bonds of the Bank of England.

As for the amount, it seems to be at least a thousand pounds, a considerable amount of wealth, and it is estimated that it will take decades to save Mr. Shen's salary in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Zuo Zhong stroked the bond with his hand, and said in a very flat tone, "Money is a good thing, but sometimes it is poison that hurts people. Dean Liang, are you right?"

Liang Yuandong replied calmly: "Is it a good thing or a poison? Does it matter to someone like you, Secretary Shen? What matters is whether the money is enough, right?"

Zuo Chong smiled, pointed at him, and said to Director Li: "That's right, I'm starting to like this Dean Liang a little bit, he's a real person, as long as he can make money, he can discuss all issues."

Director Li complimented: "Yes, in the Republic of China, there are things you can't do, Mr. Shen. If Li was a teenager, he would also want to do things with you."

Zuo Zhong threw the bond on the table, and said cheerfully: "I've accepted the item. If you want to do your own business, I'll occupy the third floor. Don't think it's expensive, it's not mine alone.

If it's an official matter, such as transfer or promotion, except for a few special agencies, just tell me your name and position, and I will handle it for you within a week. Will Boss Liang be satisfied? "

Liang Yuandong bent down: "Then please trouble Mr. Shen. I have a good friend, Zhou Longyang, who is currently the Director of the Accounting Division of the Ministry of the Interior. He has always been very interested in diplomatic work, do you think?"

What a cunning guy, one is to test Mr. Shen's energy, and the other is to infiltrate Dean Wang's power into the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. No matter what, he will not suffer. He can do two things for one money. He really deserves to be a devil.

Zuo Zhong pondered for a while, then turned his head to look at Director Li, now is the time to reveal his identity, this is Director Li's task today.

Director Li pretended to hesitate, and said a few words to Zuo Zhong with a troubled expression on his face.

After Zuo Chong listened, his face showed concern: "Isn't it the former secretary surnamed Wang? He's just a small person. You can just find a place to settle it when the time comes."

Director Li frowned and thought for a while, then sighed: "Okay then, who told you, Mr. Shen, to open your mouth. I will do my best to work on this matter tomorrow."

After hearing this, Zuo Chong showed a satisfied smile, raised his wine glass and toasted Director Li. Director Li seemed flattered, and quickly drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.

Liang Yuandong was shocked, a glass of wine decided the personnel appointment, as long as Zhou Longyang's transfer was successful, Mr. Shen's identity would be preliminarily confirmed.

This can also show that Mr. Shen is very favored. The chairman of the committee has quite a few relatives, but how many people can decide the appointment of a director.

Zuo Zhong knew that the other party might not be at peace, but with the bald-headed Shang Fang Sword, the transfer was only a small problem, and Zhou Longyang wouldn't live long anyway.

He put down the wine glass, and asked with some surprise: "Is Boss Liang still leaving? Is it possible that Shen will send you off, and you and Zhou are waiting for the good news. I think there will be news soon."

Liang Yuandong bowed again and again: "Okay, Mr. Liang has thanked Mr. Shen on behalf of my friend. When the matter is settled, I would like to invite you to a party. At that time, I will invite Director Li to go with me."

get together?

Zuo Zhong's heart moved, and he said impatiently: "Okay, okay, let's talk about it when the time comes."
