Liu Qiwen opened the door and saw that it was Zhao Yuanliang, the director of the four divisions. When he came in, he stood at attention and saluted: "The humble Zhao Yuanliang has seen the general." Then he burst out laughing.

"You bastard is quite well informed." Lu Ming also laughed.

"I said Officer Lu, why don't you wear a general's uniform? You haven't seen a colonel walking around wearing a military uniform every day." Zhao Yuanliang said.

"I'm just afraid that if I wear it, someone won't dare to wear a military uniform anymore. Wouldn't it be attractive to others and spoil the scenery." Lu Ming laughed.

"You are always thinking of others and wronging yourself. It depends on who. I don't think it is necessary." Zhao Yuanliang said.

Ever since Weng Bailing publicly challenged Lu Ming last time, everyone knew that the two were incompatible, and the people below naturally needed to stand in line.

But except for Huang Yanning who is Lu Ming's confidant, the others are not in a hurry to stand in line and are in the wait-and-see period.

Standing in line is a very serious matter. If you stand right, you may be successful for a lifetime, but if you stand wrong, you may be hit hard, or even devastated.

Of course, the sooner you stand in line, the better, and you have to express your loyalty as early as possible. If the situation is clear, it is worthless to express your loyalty.

Zhao Yuanliang was the first among several directors to show his loyalty.

"Forget it, a certain villain is successful, we don't have the same knowledge as him, it's okay, Director Zhao, I'm generous, so let him perform for a few more days." Lu Ming sneered.

In the past, Lu Ming had no intention of dealing with Weng Bailing. At most, he had different interests and had less contact with each other.

Now the situation has changed, Weng Bailing has his eyes on An Yi, this is a very dangerous signal, Lu Ming can't hide even if he wants to.

That being the case, Lu Ming must confront him head-on, otherwise An Yi, Mr. Dong, and even himself will live in danger for a long time.

"Everyone is waiting to congratulate you." Zhao Yuanliang smiled.

"Really, why did I only see you coming alone?" Lu Ming sneered.

"Sir, you really can't blame others for this matter. If you want to blame it, blame you for being too low-key. Others can't figure out your intentions, so they dare not stand up rashly." Zhao Yuanliang said bluntly.

"You mean that I am too kind, and you want to change your taste and let me stimulate you?" Lu Ming laughed.

"Sir, this is exactly what this subordinate means." Zhao Yuanliang stared into Lu Ming's eyes and said.

"Director Zhao, drink tea." Liu Qiwen stepped in at the right time, trying to buffer it and give Lu Ming some room to maneuver.

"Director Zhao, please sit down and speak slowly if you have something to say," Lu Ming said.

"Everyone is afraid that you don't dare to persevere. If you stand on your side, you will shrink back at that time, and we will be unlucky." Zhao Yuanliang sat down and said.

Lu Ming thought about it, Zhao Yuanliang's words made sense, he was usually too low-key.

Originally, he just wanted to take care of the finances and didn't want to take care of other messy things. When Kang Ze was here, he took the initiative to pull him to do things, and he couldn't shirk it. Naturally, he often showed his face in the club.

After Weng Bailing took office, the situation quickly reversed.

In the process of arresting the Shanghai Working Committee of the Communist Party of China, the two collided for the first time.

Liu Qigong of the second action brigade went out to carry out the mission, but without Lu Ming's consent, the rift became more obvious.

Although Lu Ming went to Nanjing on a business trip at the time, according to the procedure, at least he had to make a phone call to see if Lu Ming had returned to Shanghai.

But Weng Bailing directly issued an action order, which clearly skipped over Lu Ming deliberately, or did not take him seriously at all.

Weng Bailing restrained Lu Ming everywhere, his eating was already ugly, and he put on a stance that he wanted to compete with him.

"To be honest, I don't want to embarrass everyone. Standing in line is quite a brain-consuming thing. Don't you think so?" Lu Ming said with a relaxed expression.

"When it's time to stand in line, you have to stand, but you also have an advantage, that is, you can see who is really standing with you." Zhao Yuanliang smiled.

"Actually, everyone doesn't know me. When I joined the Fuxing Society, I never thought of fighting with anyone. But if someone wants to step on my head, I won't agree. To put it bluntly, he can't do it." Lu Ming smiled generously.

Just as he was talking, Huang Yanning came in and said with a smile, "Director Zhao is also here."

"Deputy Station Master Huang, why are you here?" Zhao Yuanliang smiled.

Ordinarily, Huang Yanning should be the first to come over, but Huang Yanning just received a call, and after talking for a long time, he came late.

"Master Lu, congratulations on being awarded the rank of Major General and the Order of the Blue Sky and White Sun." Huang Yanning smiled.

"This is also a commendation for our Shanghai station, not an honor for me alone." Lu Ming said modestly.

"By the way, Master Lu, how did I hear that we will reorganize next year?" Huang Yanning glanced at Zhao Yuanliang and asked in a low voice.

"Well, it is going to be reorganized, and it will be greatly changed. It is estimated that many people will be transferred." Lu Ming said lightly.

"Oh, such a big move, is there any news that can be disclosed in advance?" Huang Yanning just got the information from a classmate of Huangpu who is a staff officer in the Ministry of National Defense.

"Next year, the Military Investigation Bureau may be established. The secret service of our headquarters will be merged with one of the Central Executive Committee, and the sub-stations in various places will naturally become sub-stations of the Military Investigation Bureau. However, the two aspects are mixed together. The sub-stations are going to lay off a lot of staff, and of course the laid-off people will not lose their jobs and will be transferred to other places." Lu Ming said.

"This place is like heaven, who wants to be transferred to another place." Huang Yanning said with a wry smile.

"It's not a matter of willingness or unwillingness. Whoever is axed will have to leave. There is no room for bargaining." Lu Ming said.

"Mr. Lu, didn't you say that you will leave next year?" Zhao Yuanliang asked.

"I may leave here next year and form another organization." Lu Ming laughed.

"In this way, you are now the boss. What kind of organization is that?" Zhao Yuanliang asked.

"Temporary secret, we will know when the time comes." Lu Ming really didn't want to reveal the secret service school too early.

"Then can I go with you?" Zhao Yuanliang asked eagerly.

"You are the first one to come to my office today. Can the new organization lose a desk for you? As long as you are willing." Lu Ming snapped his fingers to indicate approval.

"I protest, I was the first to come to the office, before you." Liu Qiwen interjected.

Everyone laughed, and Zhao Yuanliang's heart opened up.

He was apprehensive before he came, fearing that standing on Lu Ming's side would affect his future development, but now he is not worried.

Since Lu Ming wants to set up a new organization, no matter what it is, he will be a veteran if he follows it, which is a hundred times stronger than receiving Weng Bailing's influence here.

There is another reason why Zhao Yuanliang is willing to hang out with Lu Ming, that is, he will never be short of money to hang out with Lu Ming.

If Lu Ming left the Fuxing Society, it would be hard to say whether the expenses and cadre benefits here would be as good as they are now.

Huang Yanning didn't ask this question. He was already Lu Ming's confidant. Wherever Lu Ming went, he would definitely follow him. This is something that needs no explanation.

At this moment, Weng Bailing also came in. He didn't feel anything when he saw Huang Yanning, but when he saw Zhao Yuanliang here, his eyes immediately turned cold, but only for a moment, his face was filled with a smile again.

"Mr. Lu, your trip to Nanjing this time is a double blessing. How are you going to celebrate?"

"The celebration is skipped. I'm going to invite everyone to drink tonight, and I'm discussing where to go." Lu Ming said generously.

"Of course it's the Huamao Hotel." Zhao Yuanliang hurriedly said.

"Then let's make it at Chinachem. Please help me go to each office to say hello." Lu Ming said politely.

Huang Yanning and Zhao Yuanliang nodded in agreement, taking the opportunity to leave Lu Ming's office.

Lu Ming and Weng Bailing sat side by side on the sofa, drinking tea and talking, people who didn't know would think that these two were close comrades who fought side by side.

As soon as Weng Bailing came in, Liu Qiwen's expression suddenly changed. She took out a box of [-] cigarettes and a lighter from the drawer, and walked out.

Lu Ming looked at her back and thought about it.

"Secretary Liu seems to have a problem with me?" Weng Bailing said with a smile.

"She's a secretary, how dare she have any objections to the officer, I guess she's a cigarette addict." Lu Ming laughed.

"Mr. Lu, why do you never smoke?" Weng Bailing asked.

"I was raised in a strict family from a young age, no smoking was allowed, and I got used to it when I grew up." Lu Ming said lightly.
