Spy War 1929

Chapter 209 We Are Ourselves
Feng Chengcheng was sitting on the sofa in the living room, holding a thread-bound book in his hand, and a cup of rich-colored coffee was placed on the coffee table in front of him.

The coffee was the same as it was when it was served, and it is still the same now, the only change is that at some point there is no steam coming out.

Feng Chengcheng was holding the book in his hand, but his mind was not on the book at all, her eyes always drifted involuntarily to the stairs.

Dad's study is on the second floor. After so long, there is still no movement.

Feng Chengcheng was bored waiting.

At this time the maid came over.

"Miss, the coffee is cold, can I give you another cup?" the maid asked softly.

At the same time, she accidentally saw the book in the lady's hand.

The lady had been looking at that page when she brought the coffee, and she was still looking at that page.

there is only one truth.

The corner of the servant girl's mouth could not help but draw a faint smile.

Everyone knows the heart of a young lady! !
"No, take it away, I don't want to drink now."

Feng Chengcheng waved to the maid, and then she returned her attention to the book.

In the study, Chen Ledao and Feng Jingyao had finished talking about Murata Makoto, but he hadn't asked what he wanted to know.

"Mr. Feng, you didn't arrange the patrolling of the house today, did you?" Chen Ledao said bluntly.

He wanted to find a tactful way of saying it, but after thinking about it, he decided to be more direct.

For an old fox like Feng Jingyao, no matter what he said, the other party could understand his true meaning at once, so why bother to beat around the bush.

"Why, do you think I arranged it?
If I arranged it, do you think it would be so easy for you to solve it? "Feng Jingyao hummed.

A joke, he, Feng Jingyao, has always said that if he gave Chen Ledao time to solve this matter, he would give Chen Ledao time.

Chen Ledao breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words.

Seeing that old man Feng had a tendency to blow his beard and stare, he quickly laughed.

"That's not true, just to make sure."

Feng Jingyao gave a faint "hmm", feeling a little displeased with Chen Ledao's suspicion that he did this.

This kid actually suspects the old man, he is really not big or small.

"You met Fabre, what is his attitude towards this matter?" Feng Jingyao asked.

He wants to see what that old yellow-haired Fabre wants to do.

He doesn't even want gold table tops, why doesn't he go to heaven!

Chen Ledao twisted his body and changed into a comfortable position.

"He wants to drive you out of the rental business, and also wants you to publish a self-criticism in the newspaper, promising not to do similar things in the future." Chen Ledao said.

Feng Jingyao's eyebrows and eyes darkened. Although he didn't speak immediately, Chen Ledao could still see what was going on in his heart - he (Fabre) yawned like a toad, with a big tone! !

Uncle Xiang smiled beside him, not caring much.

Anyone who listens to Fabre's idea will only take it as a joke.

"This new director really has great ambitions." Uncle Xiang smiled, not hiding the sarcasm in his words.

"Anyway, he is determined to do this now, and it may not be so easy to change his mind." Chen Ledao shook his head with a sad look on his face.

He was wondering how to do this.

Although Fabre is reasonable, he is also a stubborn old man.

The decision he made is definitely not that easy to change.

"This matter is not as difficult as you think." Feng Jingyao shook his head, he did not agree with Chen Ledao's statement.

How easy is it to change someone's mind?
Either intimidate or lure.

"Fabre has only come to Shanghai Beach not long ago, and he doesn't know the rules of Shanghai Beach yet.

Although this is the French Concession, it's not a place where the French say what they want. "

Feng Jingyao drooped his eyelids, looking listless, but what he said was domineering.

Chen Ledao watched Feng Jingyao boasting quietly.

No one knows how to talk big, but you can come up with a specific way!

Normally, now that someone has patted Rainbow Fart on Feng Jingyao, they will definitely say something like "Mr. Feng is right".

But Chen Ledao just looked at him quietly.

Feng Jingyao looked at Chen Ledao dissatisfiedly, this kid doesn't know how to cooperate at all, he really doesn't know how to behave.

"Fabre is firm now, that's because he hasn't encountered any real problems yet. When he encounters them, he will know how naive his thoughts are now." Feng Jingyao sneered.

The reason why Fabre dared to speak such nonsense was that he did not take Feng Jingyao seriously.

When he really sees his own means, he will retreat in spite of the difficulties.

Seeing Feng Jingyao's self-confidence, Chen Ledao was somewhat curious about what the problem Feng Jingyao was talking about.

It is not easy for Fabre to retreat.

Feng Jingyao seemed to see Chen Ledao's question, so he smiled.

"Hehe, the Chamber of Commerce will do a good job in this matter, and the French will put pressure on Fabre at that time.

You just need to give Fabre a step down, as long as he is a smart person, he will change his mind. "

A person who insists on going his own way will only be a fool.

Fabre can achieve the position of police chief, Feng Jingyao believes that the other party will not be a fool.

"What are you going to do?" Chen Ledao was curious.

Feng Jingyao shook his head and smiled with a meaningful expression.

"People, the most important thing is food, clothing, housing and transportation. These four things are indispensable."

Basic necessities of life, do you want to start from this?
Chen Ledao was very curious, but Feng Jingyao was trying to trick him again at this moment.

Feng Jingyao didn't care whether Chen Ledao was curious or not, he suddenly started to preach to Chen Ledao again.

"Remember, to foreigners, it's okay to give in appropriately, but if the other party doesn't know what to do, then you have to show some color to let the other party see."

Feng Jingyao spoke earnestly, Chen Ledao was already an unmarried son-in-law in his heart, and sooner or later the Feng family's property would need to be inherited by Chen Ledao.

Whenever there is an opportunity, Feng Jingyao wants to educate Chen Ledao.

Chen Ledao's ability is already outstanding among young people, but his father-in-law sees his son-in-law as flawed no matter how he looks at it.

Chen Ledao could only nod honestly.

He noticed the change in Feng Jingyao's attitude towards him, and he keenly grasped some of the reasons for it.

This is a good thing.

Chen Ledao thought it was a good deal to let the old man chatter for a few words, and he could get such a big deal.

Seeing Chen Ledao's low eyebrow and pleasing eyes, Feng Jingyao nodded in satisfaction.

This appearance is much more pleasing to the eye than when I first came here.

"Foreigners are powerful, so it's not good for us to have conflicts with them directly, so we have to think about ways before doing things. It's a stupid act for you to directly kill that Murata Makoto this time."

Going around, Feng Jingyao came back again.

Chen Ledao was speechless, he sensed something was wrong.

Feng Jingyao seems to be addicted to preaching, so let him play for fun!

"What Mr. Feng said was that the situation was unavoidable at the time. Fortunately, this matter is not bad at all. At least it can be used to divert Fabre's attention from the gold table."

cough cough cough.

Enough is enough, and if it goes on, it will hurt both sides.

Feng Jingyao finally stopped entangled in this matter.

"It's not going to take a day or two to get Fabre to change his mind.

After you go back, you should first settle the matter between you and the Ax Gang. "Feng Jingyao said.

Chen Ledao nodded,

Before Feng Jingyao got things out, Chen Ledao really had no way to make Fabre change his mind.

The role of lip service is limited after all.

The two were talking to each other in the study, but Feng Chengcheng was sitting in the living room waiting, the sofa almost collapsed for her.

What are they talking about, they haven't finished talking yet! !

Feng Chengcheng couldn't help muttering in his heart, put down the book in his hand, and his eyes began to wander around.

"What do you think of the position of chief inspector?" Just when the atmosphere in the room was about to fall into embarrassment, Feng Jingyao suddenly said.

"Ah?" Chen Ledao stared.

No way, Feng Jingyao even knew about Fabre wanting him to be the Chief Inspector?

If so, Feng Jingyao's news channel would be too scary.

"Let me say, what do you think of the position of Chief Inspector, or what do you think of you being that Chief Inspector?" Feng Jingyao said.

Chen Ledao couldn't figure out what Feng Jingyao meant.

Lao Ma is Feng Jingyao's man, is he testing himself by saying this?
Chen Ledao guessed in his heart, for a moment he didn't know how to answer this question.

Logically speaking, based on the relationship between Chen Ledao and Feng Chengcheng, of course Chen Ledao and the Feng family are closer.

But Lao Ma was the one Feng Jingyao promoted, and the other party listened to Feng Jingyao's everything.

Feng Jingyao should be clear that it is impossible for Chen Ledao to take the position of Chief Inspector.

When he refused Feng Jingyao's invitation and did not work under Feng's Chamber of Commerce, Chen Ledao had clearly expressed his intentions.

Although he was concerned about Feng Jingyao's family fortune, it didn't mean that Chen Ledao was willing to accept Feng Jingyao's always pointing fingers in front of him.

Chen Ledao was thinking miscellaneously in his heart, but he didn't belong to his mind, so he hurriedly grabbed two sentences and replied:
"Well, although Fabre has suspended Lao Ma's position, he has not shown any intention of letting me take over Lao Ma's position. Now Lao Ma's work is managed by Ma Long from the Political Department."

Chen Ledao didn't answer Feng Jingyao's question directly, but only talked about Fabre's attitude.

Even Fabre's attitude is a bit fake.

Feng Jingyao frowned upon hearing this.

"Didn't Fabre tell you that someone in the consulate recommended you to be the chief inspector?"

Hearing this, Chen Ledao's pupils shrank suddenly, Feng Jingyao knew everything about the consulate! !

But soon, Chen Ledao breathed a sigh of relief again, he found that he seemed to have misunderstood Feng Jingyao's meaning.

"Someone from the consulate recommended me to be the Chief Inspector? Who?" Chen Ledao pretended to be ignorant.

Although he knew that the man was Martin, Chen Ledao acted as if he just knew about it.

Feng Jingyao didn't doubt Chen Ledao, he frowned and said:
"This matter was told to me by the French consul Bernard. The suggestion to recommend you to be the chief inspector was the suggestion made by Martin, the counselor of the consulate, to Bernard.

Fabre should have known about this, why didn't he tell you? "

Logically speaking, Chen Ledao is Fabre's man.

Since Fabre wants to deal with himself, then replace Lao Ma with Chen Ledao, shouldn't Fabre try his best to facilitate this matter?
Three big question marks appeared on Feng Jingyao's gray hair.

At this moment, Chen Ledao's heart was surging with turbulent waves.

Damn, Feng Jingyao's news line has even reached Bernard! !

Chen Ledao cursed in his heart.

Fabre was still thinking about dealing with Feng Jingyao, but in the end his immediate superiors were all on the same team as Feng Jingyao! !
Chen Ledao suppressed the shock in his heart and maintained the expression on his face.

"Maybe Murata Makoto's incident happened today, let him forget it for a while." Chen Ledao just found a reason to prevaricate. .

"But who is that Martin? I don't know him?" Chen Ledao once again had this question in his heart.

Chen Ledao really didn't know about this.

Then Martin is not related, why did he recommend himself to be the Chief Inspector?
Chen Ledao expected Feng Jingyao to give an answer.

"You don't know Martin?"

Chen Ledao shook his head.

"I know Bernard from the consulate, but this is the first time I've heard of Martin."

Chen Ledao was not afraid that Feng Jingyao would not believe this, after all it was the truth.

Feng Jingyao was also confused.

Since Chen Ledao didn't know that Martin, why did that person recommend Chen Ledao to be the Chief Inspector?
Is it because of Fabre?

This name flashed in Feng Jingyao's mind, and it seemed that this matter could only be explained in this way.

"I'll talk about Martin's matter later, and now let's talk about the Chief Inspector's matter." Feng Jingyao said.

Without waiting for Chen Ledao to speak, he said directly:
"How about you become the Chief Inspector?"

???

Chen Ledao was confused.

what's the problem?

Why does everyone want to be the Chief Inspector by themselves?
"I'm going to be the chief inspector, what about the old horse?" Chen Ledao asked the doubts in his heart.

Feng Jingyao shook his head lightly, his eyes suddenly became dull.

"This time, the chamber of commerce and Fabre have a trouble, and there is always a price to pay.

Fabre is so hostile to me because he is afraid of my power in the patrol room.

If you want him to stop, you have to give him a step down. "

When Chen Ledao heard this, he immediately understood what Feng Jingyao meant.

"You mean to give up the position of Chief Inspector?"

Feng Jingyao nodded.

"As the police chief, Fabre and I only have a direct conflict of interest with the police station.

While I was putting pressure on him, I made concessions. He should know how to choose. "

"So, Lao Ma gave up the position of Chief Inspector and let me take over?" Chen Ledao said this in one go.

Chen Ledao suddenly admired Feng Jingyao's decisiveness.

It's no wonder that Feng Jingyao can have the status he has today, and Feng Jingyao has really mastered this method of willingness and gain.

Seeing that the position of Chief Inspector Ma was about to be lost, he immediately gave it up.

Let Chen Ledao take over, which can at least ensure that Feng Jingyao's interests are maximized.

It is better for Chen Ledao to be the chief detective than someone else to be the chief detective.

But Chen Ledao felt that if Feng Jingyao were to replace him, even in this case, he might not be willing to make concessions in such an important position as chief inspector.

Feng Jingyao smiled.

"Although the old horse was promoted by me, compared with you and me, he is an outsider after all.

Since you can use your own people, why use outsiders? "

Me and you are our own people?
Chen Ledao shook his head, he was noncommittal to the words in his heart.

ps: I have to say that I was a bit stuck in writing today, I started in the afternoon, and the result has been grinding until now
