Chapter 296 The Battle for Power and Position
Ever since he and Mu Wanqiu had skin-to-skin relationship, Lin Mu didn't want to stay in Tianjin any longer, so he asked Shen Qinghe to send Mu Wanqiu to Hong Kong, and at the same time sent a telegram to ask Li Ningyu in Hong Kong to take care of her. .

Perhaps Lin Mu's charm is strong enough, or perhaps it is the influence of the concept of three obediences and four virtues left in this era, Li Ningyu did not make things difficult for Mu Wanqiu, the "sister", but instead hugged her for warmth and became a close sister.

After Lin Mu took a photo of the copy for the party organization, he sent the original to Wu Jingzhong, the station master.Wu Jingzhong was very happy when he saw it, and said that the work has finally come to an end, we can finally breathe a sigh of relief, bring your wife to my house in the evening, let the child recognize the foster mother, and you can also show off your new epaulettes to the big guy.

So, Lin Mu hurriedly called home, and the old lady answered. Although Cuiping had been here for several months, he was still not used to the phone, the flush toilet, and the briquette-burning stove.He asked the old lady to tell his wife that there was a party tonight and asked her to prepare the newly made clothes.He also wanted to ask Cuiping to play with her hair, but finally decided to wait until he went back to pick her up.These trivial matters are the contradictions they have accumulated over time, and they cannot be resolved in a short while.

Sure enough, when Lin Mu returned home, Cuiping was still squatting on the balcony smoking a pipe, and did not do any of the things he arranged.The old lady bowed and apologized, saying that my wife is in a bad mood these days, and you should speak well, sir.He didn't want his servants to see their quarrel. Regardless of whether the old lady was ordered by the Military Command Bureau or the CCP organization, it would only be harmful if these things were spread.

Lin Mu tried to calm himself down, and said to Cuiping: "The station master invites you to see his wife tonight, and you need to dress formally."

Although Wu Jingzhong owned several houses in Tianjin, he always lived with his wife in the big house at No. 1 Changde Road in the old British Concession, so he attached great importance to secular etiquette, and often told his subordinates that general rules are everything, and chaos Gang Chang, everything is messed up.

Hearing Lin Mu's words, Cuiping packed up the cigarette pouch and "ashtray", went back to the bedroom, and said, "I don't want to meet those people, they are obviously murderous devils, but they sit together like a group of elementary school students." Mr. Lisven, the more I think about it, the more I hate it, and I can't help but blow up the grenade to kill them all."

Lin Mu had no choice but to say: "I have explained to you many times, this is the need of work and the need of the revolutionary cause."

Lin Mu has to convince Cuiping that this kind of entertainment cannot be shirked.The Military Control Bureau has extremely strict requirements on the internal unity of its subordinates. Therefore, whether it is the station master level, or the lower-level personnel such as detectives and clerks, various social activities and personal contacts are very intensive. However, Cuiping Every time you take part in this type of activity, it always brings discomfort to others.Of course, she did not have any special actions or words, but as soon as she arrived at the place, she tightened her pair of thick eyebrows, and the sun-burned skin on her face became darker and darker because of her gloomy expression. Someone spoke to her , she just tugged at the corners of her mouth, without a hint of kindness, nor a word.This is incompatible with the so-called "big family" atmosphere of the Military Control Bureau, especially those family members who were covered in jewels overnight because their husbands participated in the reception were greatly annoyed, and they couldn't help complaining at home, and the effect of these complaints It has already had an extremely adverse impact on Lin Mu's work.

So, Lin Mu personally took out a new Indian silk cheongsam for Cuiping, American glass stockings, and white high-heeled leather shoes made in England, and picked out a long string of pearls from the jewelry box.Lin Mu is not afraid of danger, nor is he afraid of sacrifice. However, doing these things makes him feel extremely humiliated.Although he never complained in his heart that the organization didn't understand him, he somewhat complained that the organization didn't educate Cuiping well.What he was doing was an extremely dangerous job, and Cuiping obviously didn't do him any favors in this environment.

While he was picking up the clothes, Cuiping kept her head down and sat on the edge of the bed sulking. At this moment, she suddenly said: "You shut me up at home all day, and you didn't regard me as a revolutionary comrade at all, let alone I was not given any revolutionary work."

Lin Mu could only persuade him with good words: "Your living in this house is itself a revolutionary work. In addition, if you want to relax, you can go out to play. There is money in the drawer and a car in the station. You can go anywhere and do whatever you want. It's all right."

"Do you want me to hang around like those rich ladies in your station? I'm an upright guerrilla." Cuiping raised his eyes to stare at him, his black eyes burning.

For the woman's resistance, Lin Mu had nothing to do. He finally realized Yu Zecheng's helplessness in the original play, so he could only say, "Then what do you think we should do?"

"Give me a job, formal revolutionary work." Cuiping showed the courage to do his part.

"You are illiterate, and..." Lin Mu snapped off the unpleasant words, and said again: "Now is the most critical period of the party's cause, the party asks you to lurk here, you should be happy to obey. Yes, because lurking is also one of the revolutionary tasks!"

Since the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, there was no contact with the party organization for more than half a year.It was a painful memory, requiring him to study and practice the hunt, torture and assassination of Communists while waiting for the opportunity to work for the party organization.Because he has gone through such a difficult test, he is very dissatisfied with Cuiping's attitude of underestimating latent work.He felt that Cuiping could not understand the organization's intentions mainly because she was not an intellectual.He did not intend to belittle the peasant and working class in this way at all, but this state of ignorance prevented Cuiping from having a deep understanding of the party's revolutionary ideals and struggle strategies.However, he was really not good at teaching students like Cuiping, and he couldn't convey the true intentions of the party to her clearly, because he was a democratic person of later generations and could only speak dry truths, while Cuiping had a tough temper and a personality Stubborn, the worst thing is to listen to the truth.Therefore, although they are revolutionary comrades, they cannot communicate their revolutionary ideas.For this reason, Lin Mu felt very painful in his heart, and it was the kind of honest and unforgettable self-blame.

In desperation, he had no choice but to compromise with Cuiping again, saying that after tonight's entertainment, he would definitely ask the organization to arrange tasks for her.

But Cuiping said: "The organization has already arranged it, and it is my task to assist you in your work."

Well then, Lin Mu had no choice but to take another step back.However, this concession finally brought him a little work achievement - Cuiping finally agreed to wash his hair with soap.

Perhaps it was because Lin Mu agreed to her request, Cuiping was still cooperative tonight, with her clean long hair tied back in a smooth bun, but she looked a bit old, not in keeping with the fashionable clothes Good match.Lin Mu stopped her from applying powder to her face, and only asked her to apply a little body oil and lipstick, because her skin was too dark to be powdered.

Wu Jingzhong smiled very happily when he saw Cuiping in a new make-up, and said that this is good, it looks really good-looking.He then ordered Lin Mu: "You are not allowed to treat my goddaughter harshly, and you must buy her some good clothes as much as possible."

Lin Mu clicked his heels to show his obedience, but he didn't notice that the station master's words were just a joke.

The wife of the station master Wu Jingzhong is a tall, rough old woman in her 50s. It is said that she is the daughter of a warlord in the Beiyang period. The look of a man.Cuiping bowed to Madam Wu Jingzhong to recognize her relatives, and the old lady also prepared very expensive jewelry and clothing for her as a meeting gift.All the colleagues who came to watch the ceremony were colleagues from the Military Command Bureau. Ma Kui followed Lin Mu closely, and kept complimenting him on his luck.

Lin Mu entertained Ma Kui without leaving, hoping not to offend him.This guy could be either his executioner or his rival in the Military Command Bureau.In the near future, there will be a vacancy for deputy station chief at Tianjin Station. Ma Kui and the director of the intelligence department, Lu Qiaoshan, have been fawning over this position for a long time, and Lin Mu was promoted in time this time, which naturally made him the position. One of the candidates for the position.After becoming the deputy station master, he can see the top secrets such as Chiang Kai-shek's handwritten warrant sent by telegram.This was also a task he had to complete. The higher his position in the Military Command Bureau, the greater his contribution to the party organization. Therefore, his relationship with Ma Kui had to be in dire straits.

Ma Kui talked a lot today, flattering Wu Jingzhong and Wu Jingzhong's wife very much.He also talked a lot to Cuiping, and even took the initiative to lead her upstairs and downstairs to visit the luxurious residence of the station master, and led the way half-bent, like a doorman in a hotel.This made Lin Mu regret not reminding Cuiping in advance, because Ma Kui's predecessor was flattered to death by him in this way.That person was the partner that the organization arranged for Lin Mu in the Military Command Bureau. After his death, Lin Mu often felt lonely.

This night, Cuiping suddenly became happy in the second half of the party, talking and laughing with the other wives. Her Baodi accent and Mrs. Wu Jingzhong's AH accent complement each other, but Lin Mu looked worried because, He couldn't figure out the reason for Cuiping's happiness.
