Spy War 1929

Chapter 230 I Suspect a Conspiracy
Chen Ledao passed by among the workers, and many people had already remembered the appearance of the Inspector Chen who was asking for his wages for him. Seeing Chen Ledao passing by at this moment, they greeted him warmly.

People are in good spirits on happy occasions, and when they get the money, every worker has a bright smile on his face, and the earlier expression of anger and depression has disappeared without a trace.

Emotions are contagious, and when Chen Ledao saw the smiles on these people's faces, he couldn't help but draw a faint smile at the corner of his mouth.

I did a great thing this time.

Chen Ledao was about to walk to the front of the small building, a middle-aged man with a very simple and honest appearance rushed out to hold Chen Ledao's hand, his expression was very excited.

"Inspector Chen, thank you so much this time, if it weren't for you, we don't know when we will get our salary!"

The worker uncle held Chen Ledao tightly, and said excitedly.

Chen Ledao was taken aback by this person's sudden movement, and then quickly reacted.

"Uncle, you can't thank me, you all deserve it!

But uncle, you still know Grandet, it seems that you don't read too much! "

Chen Ledao said with a smile.

The word "Grandet" comes from Balzac's novel "Eugenie Grandet". This word is not as popular as it will be in the future, and almost all people who know it are educated people.

"Hey, no, no, I don't even know how to read, how can I read!" The uncle smiled and shook his head.

"It's my son, my son is studying in college, and he likes to talk in front of me when he has nothing to do.

That Grandet is a Frenchman, and our boss is also a Frenchman. Both of them are equally bad. I just remember this person's name. "

The uncle said with a smile, he was very chatty.

Looking at his appearance, it seems that he still wants to chat with Chen Ledao like this.

Chen Ledao hurriedly dealt with a few words and then walked away, how could he have time to chat with this uncle here.

And didn't you see that Anderson's face was almost as black as pot ashes not far away?

The voice of this uncle is quite loud, and Anderson probably heard everything in his ears!
Just as Chen Ledao was about to walk out of the crowd, another person spoke suddenly.

"Inspector Chen, tell the boss about our salary increase!"

When a younger worker saw Chen Ledao, he immediately shouted loudly.

This young man is more restrained than that uncle, seeing Anderson standing not far away, he is very face-saving, talking about the boss, not the iron cock.

Chen Ledao hadn't spoken yet, but Anderson's face darkened instantly when he heard this.

"Salary increase?!" Anderson's eyes widened.

I, Jimmy Anderson, would swear on God. This is definitely the worst thing I have ever heard. If it is false, God will die.

"Humph!"

Anderson snorted coldly, turned around with a dark face and walked into the small building.

rise salary?
Eat shit!

Seeing this, Chen Ledao quickly chased after him.

"Hey, Mr. Anderson." Chen Ledao shouted twice from behind, and walked quickly to Anderson.

"Henry, these people are too rude and greedy.

I will never give them a raise, absolutely not! ! ! "

Anderson raised his eyebrows and said through gritted teeth.

After he finished speaking, he walked upstairs, his leather shoes stepping on the stairs, making a thumping sound.Obviously very angry.

"But Mr. Anderson, the electricity is still cut off in the concession.

Although these workers are not making trouble now, they will not return to work unless their wages are raised. "

Chen Ledao hurried to catch up.

"No, I will definitely not give them a raise!!
Just now you heard that I paid them their salary, but instead of thanking me, they said I was Grandet.

These locals are so rude! "

It seems that Anderson has also read Balzac's novels, and he doesn't like Grandet in them very much.

Every Grandet will not like Grandet.

Chen Ledao smiled helplessly when he heard the words.

He has a little experience in coaxing women, but it is a bit difficult for him to coax G Anderson.

"But Mr. Anderson, how are you going to get them back to work without a raise?"

"They will return to work sooner or later. If they don't return to work, they will have no wages. Without wages, they will not be able to eat or buy clothes."

"But you just paid them half a year's salary, and they won't be short of money for the time being."

".Then I will make people stop, and the rest will not be paid!!"

"Mr. Anderson, if you do this, I can't guarantee that the patrols will be able to save you from the fists of those workers.

You have to know that wages are the lives of workers. If you don't pay them wages, they will dare to fight you.

Especially if you give some workers money, those who don't get paid will only fight you more crazily. "

Hearing this, Anderson froze.

He recalled the scene of those workers storming the small building before, and his expression suddenly became even uglier.

"I don't care, no matter what, I won't give you a raise!!!"

Anderson jumped in anger, but he didn't continue to say that he would not be paid.

"Let the people on the board of directors take care of this matter. Anyway, I won't give them a salary increase, absolutely not!!!"

Anderson is like a two-hundred-pound child at the moment, and when he gets a child's temper, he doesn't care about it.

rise salary?
Humph, unless you can get God to write me a letter!

Seeing this, Chen Ledao was a little helpless.

Anderson's left sentence was impossible, and the right sentence was absolutely impossible, which made Chen Ledao at a loss as to how to persuade him.

"Mr. Anderson, are you really not going to give them a raise?"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!!"

Anderson's angry words came over.

Chen Ledao showed helplessness and shook his head.

If it doesn't rise, it won't rise. Why are you shouting so loudly?

Looking at Anderson who had already walked into the office, Chen Ledao didn't intend to follow in, he turned around and walked downstairs.

The moment he turned around, Chen Ledao inadvertently revealed a faint smile.

If Anderson really wants to agree to a salary increase now, then this matter will be really difficult.

Going down to the corner of the stairs, Chen Ledao stopped, took out a cigarette from the cigarette case, and lit it.

Soon, smoke filled the corner.

I can't go down immediately, I have to stay in the building for a while, at least let the workers know that I have tried my best.

While smoking, thinking about Anderson's expression just now, Chen Ledao couldn't help laughing while shaking his head.

Now that these workers have money in their hands, they can strike more firmly.

The strike was brought up by Feng Jingyao to make Fabre back down. How could Chen Ledao disagree with the child's grandfather!
After smoking a cigarette, Chen Ledao looked at the time, and stood on the stairs for a few minutes before going downstairs and out of the small building.

Immediately, the workers looked at Chen Ledao expectantly again.

Inspector Chen helped us get back the wages in arrears. Inspector Chen should also be able to handle the salary issue!

Chen Ledao walked up to the crowd, with a look of helplessness and shame on his face.

"Everyone, I'm sorry, I couldn't negotiate with Mr. Anderson about everyone's request for a salary increase.

But don't worry, I will continue to talk to Mr. Anderson after he calms down. "

When Chen Ledao spoke, his face was full of an expression of "I'm sorry everyone, I've failed your trust, even his eyes turned reddish."

The workers have only received the owed wages, and they are very rational at the moment.

Inspector Chen helped them get their wages back. How can Inspector Chen be blamed for this!
"Inspector Chen, this is none of your business, blame Grandet if you want!!
Well, since he won't give us a salary increase, then we won't do it, and he will go to whomever he likes!

Am I right! ! "

It was the worker uncle just now who spoke

As soon as he said this, the workers immediately responded and responded one after another.

The appeal of Uncle Worker, which has been echoed by everyone, seems to be a very charismatic Uncle Worker. No wonder he can train a college student.

A group of patrolmen stood among the workers one by one. Hearing the boss's heartfelt words at this moment, they couldn't help feeling a little strange in their hearts.

It's the first time I've met such a captain.

Fang Shan's expression was complicated. Thinking of his previous behavior of letting the policemen point their guns at the workers, and thinking of the boss's teaching to him just now, regret and shame rose in his heart.

Compared with the boss, I am really far behind.

Only a person like the boss is worthy of being the inspector.

If this was put in the past, it would really be called loving the people like a son, right?
Fang Shan thought about all kinds of good things about Chen Ledao in his heart, and a perfect image of the inspector gradually formed in his mind.

Chen Ledao didn't know what Fang Shan was thinking.

Amidst the comforting voices of the workers, Chen Ledao got down to business again.

"I can't control everyone's strike, and our patrol room doesn't care about it.

But a strike is a strike, and you must not make trouble. If anyone dares to make trouble, I will invite him to the patrol room for tea! "

Chen Le said loudly.

Public is public, private is private, don't make trouble for me!

When the workers heard this, they all agreed.

Now that the wages have been paid, they have no reason to make trouble.

If wages are not raised, they will go on strike and stop working.

I only go to make trouble when I have too much time.

He waved his hand to call a few more intelligent police officers, and Chen Ledao personally explained to them, and then left them here to watch, before returning to the arresting room with other patrol teams.

Their patrol room is in charge of law and order, not in charge of workers' strikes.

Now that the workers are quiet and not making trouble, his work in the patrol room is done!

After Chen Ledao passed through the crowd again and left the factory gate, and there were no more workers around, the shameful expression on Chen Ledao's face suddenly disappeared and became normal.

Fang Shan and Wu Shiyi followed behind Chen Ledao with their respective team members.

Fang Shan raised his head and accidentally saw the scene where the boss's expression changed.

He couldn't help but froze, and his steps slowed down a beat.

In the French Concession tonight, it lost its usual noise.

The French Concession is usually brightly lit, but today you can't even see the lights.

Fortunately, the moonlight is good tonight, even with the moonlight, I can barely see the way.

In fact, tonight's power outage not only failed to make Ye Weiyang's business worse, but actually made Ye Weiyang's business even more prosperous.

There was a power outage in the concession, but Chen Ledao's Ye Weiyang didn't.

Tonight's night is young, just like in the past, the neon lights on the door are shining with various colors, and the door is still full of people coming and going, even more lively than usual.

There is no water and no gas, this has an impact on Ye Weiyang, but the impact is not that great, as long as there is wine and electricity, the dance hall is still a dance hall.

It is not so easy for people who are used to nightlife to suddenly let them go to bed early.

Some people went to the public concession and Chinese circles to have fun, while those who were too far away chose Ye Weiyang, the only bright dance hall in the concession.

Chen Ledao has seen many acquaintances in Ye Weiyang.

Tom and Hector came, Xu Zhimo brought his wife Lu Xiaoman and his good friend Yu Dafu, and Sheng Qi who hadn't seen him for a few days came with him.

At the same time, Xu Zhimo also brought another good friend of his - Hu Shi.

Another big celebrity.

Chen Ledao is very curious about this famous person, and similarly, this famous person is equally curious about Chen Ledao, a young man who has recently made a splash in Shanghai.

Chen Ledao chatted with them for a while, and then another acquaintance came.

Xue Liangying, who has been busy with business recently, unexpectedly took a break from her busy schedule today, and brought his barrister's fiancée to Ye Weiyang.

At first glance, Shi Ke is someone who seldom goes in and out of singing and dancing. After entering Ye Weiyang, he is quite curious about Ye Weiyang's environment.

Chen Ledao brought the two of them to Xu Zhimo and the others, after all, everyone knew each other.

After making arrangements for Shi Ke, Chen Ledao temporarily borrowed his fiancé away.

Take Xue Liangying to the office.

"Would you like a cup of coffee?" Chen Le said to Xue Liangying after sending Chen Xiaojun who was still in the office away.

"No, I don't drink coffee at night."

Xue Liangying looked around at Chen Ledao's office, although Ye Weiyang had been here several times, but it was his first time visiting Chen Ledao's office.

It's much better than his secretary's office.

"I heard that you recovered the arrears of wages for those workers in the power plant today?" Xue Liangying asked curiously.

"You know all about this?"

"Not only I know, everyone in the police department knows, I'm afraid even many people in the concession already know about it."

Chen Ledao smiled when he heard the words, and felt a little satisfied. It seems that Akun still has some ability.

It is not Chen Ledao's style to do good deeds without letting others know.

"You're going to be famous in Shanghai again this time. You're probably the first police officer to help the workers get their wages."

There was a smile on the corner of Xue Liangying's mouth, obviously he did something to Chen Ledao, and he was very satisfied.

"It's okay, serve the people." Chen Ledao chuckled.

Seeing this, Xue Liangying couldn't help shaking her head, Chen Ledao's smile was not showing humility, but showing embarrassment.

"Okay, tell me, what did you ask me to come up for?" Xue Liangying asked directly.

"Did you hear any gossip at the police station in the past two days?" Chen Ledao said.

"What gossip?" Xue Liangying was puzzled.

"What else can it be? I'm the Chief Inspector!"

Chen Ledao has been running on other things for the past two days, and has no time to pay attention to this matter. As for Ye Weiyang's information channels, he still can't find such news.

Chen Ledao had no choice but to ask Xue Liangying about it.

As for finding Fabre, although it is possible, it seems too urgent.

Seeing Chen Ledao's appearance, Xue Liangying couldn't help laughing.

"Is there any news, the director was negotiating with the Japanese about you and Makoto Murata two days ago, and as soon as it was settled, there was a strike here.

How can the director be in the mood to take care of you now? "

Chen Ledao felt a little regretful when he heard the words.

"Oh, by the way, you know about the water plant in Mailan District, right?" Xue Liangying said again.

"You mean a strike? I already knew that.

That kid Tielin heard from somewhere that I had dealt with Anderson. He came after me as soon as I returned to the patrol room from the power plant during the day. "

The strike at the water plant in Mailan District is almost the same as that at the power plant.

Both factories belonged to Jimmy Anderson, and the workers went on strike at the same time.

"I'm not talking about strikes. I just think it's a coincidence that the strikes of the two factories started almost at the same time." Xue Liangying had a look of suspicion on his face.

This incident was too coincidental. Xue Liangying felt that it was a little impossible to say that no one was behind the scenes.

Chen Ledao looked at Xue Liangying with a slightly strange gaze.

This kid can speak languages ​​of so many countries, what a brilliant brain!

Although Feng Jingyao didn't intend to hide this matter at first, but Xue Liangying realized that there was something tricky behind it so quickly, Chen Ledao still felt that Xue Liangying's brains were too easy to use.

"That's right." Chen Ledao nodded directly, without any intention of hiding it from him.

"Huh?" Xue Liangying looked at Chen Ledao suspiciously.

Chen Ledao's tone sounded like he knew something.

"This matter should have been arranged by Feng Jingyao." Chen Ledao said.
