Chapter 699 Ye Xiaoqing
“Qingmei.” Li Cuiqun asked his wife to sit down.
He took out an opened bottle of red wine from the cabinet and poured the wine for Ye Xiaoqing himself.
“Brothers, I wish you great achievements and live up to your ambitions.” Ye Xiaoqing raised his glass.
The two clinked glasses.
"Being able to settle down on Daxi Road is considered the start of my career. Logically speaking, I should be happy." Li Cuiqun put down his wine glass and said, "However, you can see the actual situation."
He took another sip of wine and said, "There are still three kilograms of nails in the broken boat. My new boat is just a few stinky fish and rotten shrimps."
Hearing this, the smile on Ye Xiaoqing's face faded a little. He glanced at Li Cuiqun and saw that he didn't look lonely, but more like laughing at himself. Then he felt relieved and asked, "Brother Qun, what do you mean?"
“My personal abilities are already understood and recognized by the Japanese.” Li Cuiqun said, “However, in addition to outstanding leaders, a strong special agent organization also needs a backbone that can do things.”
He shook his head slightly, "Talents, what we urgently need now are talents who are willing to follow me and do big things."
He only has three or two rotten fish and shrimps in his hands, which he obtained from the Qinggang through his wife's relationship.
These people are very brave and fierce. If they are asked to take turns with their axes and go out on the street to kill people, it is fine, but it is obviously not possible for them to do espionage work.
"It's a pity that I have never been reused in the Party Affairs Investigation Office and my reputation is not good." Li Cuiqun sighed and said, "If not, I would have gathered followers if I shouted from a high position."
"I must build up a team that can do things and achieve things as soon as possible, so that I can further win the support of the Japanese." He said.
“Brother Qun, have you decided?” After hearing what Li Cuiqun said, Ye Xiaoqing frowned and asked.
“Have you guessed it?” Li Cuiqun glanced at his wife in surprise.
“You suddenly mentioned Dingmu Tun a few days ago.” Ye Xiaoqing smiled and said, “Looking at what you are thinking, I have some guesses.”
Li Cuiqun took a deep look at Ye Xiaoqing and suddenly burst into laughter, showing joy, "My parents are the ones who gave birth to me, and I am my Qingmei who knows me."
Li Cuiqun has a very clear and clear understanding of how to develop and expand his own power:
Absorb former government agents and even traitors from the Red Party to strengthen themselves.
However, he knew that he had little reputation and status within the government's secret service organization. It was basically impossible to raise his voice and attract all kinds of responses.
At this time, Li Cuiqun thought of his old acquaintance and boss, Dingmutun, whom he worked with at Social News.
This person also joined the Red Party in his early years, and later joined the CC Party.
Two people were arrested because of the "Ma Qiwu Case". He was in a humble position and had no one to rescue him. He was detained for more than a year. During this period, he was tortured and humiliated by his colleagues in the Party Affairs Investigation Department. In the end, his wife Ye Xiaoqing sacrificed his life to save him and escaped from prison.
However, Ding Mutun was well-connected within the CC department and was soon released on bail by his old friend Wu Xunya, director of the Shanghai Social Affairs Bureau.
Since then, Dingmu Tun has had a prosperous official career. He once served as the director of the third division of the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics of the National Military Commission, and was even on an equal footing with Dai Chunfeng and Xue Yingzhen.
However, Dingmutun was ordered to entertain Zhang Teli, the former leader of the Red Party, in Hankou. Later, Dai Chunfeng secretly reported to Chang Kaishen that Dingmutun had embezzled entertainment expenses, and Dingmutun was investigated and punished.
Now I even heard that the National Bureau of Military Command was split up. Xue Yingzheng’s branch became the Central Bureau of Military Command, Dai Chunfeng’s second branch was labeled as the Bureau of Military Command, and the three branches in Dingmutun were simply eliminated, leaving him only a member of the Military Commission. The vacant title of major general and counselor was given.
According to the information he obtained from Jian Jianwu, a fellow villager of Dingmu Tun in Shanghai, Dingmu Tun cursed Chang Kaishen for being unfair and was very depressed and was "recuperating" in Hong Kong.
If Dingmu Tun ascends to the top and shouts, the followers will be very heavy.
This made Li Cuiqun think about inviting Ding Mutun to come to Shanghai, and the two of them could work together to "do something big".
However, what made Li Cuiqun hesitant before was that he knew that his influence was far less than that of Dingmutun, and he was afraid that after Dingmutun came, he would be completely reduced to a subordinate.
"Brother Qun, the people in Dingmu Tun are old and cunning." Ye Xiaoqing said, "If this person comes to Shanghai, I'm afraid he will be detrimental to you, brother Qun."
"Qingmei, you don't have to cover up for me. You are so old and cunning. To put it bluntly, my influence is far less than this person." Li Cuiqun said, and he smiled tenderly at his wife.
Ye Xiaoqing understood this smile: her husband has always valued face, but that was in front of outsiders. In front of her, he was willing to look at her with a sincere heart.
“Dingmu Tun is an old wolf.” Li Cuiqun smiled proudly, “I am a young tiger.”
He took a sip of wine and said, "Let's recruit Dingmu Tun first and rely on this person's reputation to build a foundation. As for the future, I have already planned it."
Ye Xiaoqing looked at Li Cuiqun's high-spirited and smart look, and felt happy, "Since Brother Qun has already made a plan, I feel relieved."
"It is imperative to invite Dingmu Tun to Shanghai." Li Cuiqun added, "However, before my old friend comes to Shanghai, it is best for me to recruit a few capable men here."
"It seems that you already have a goal, Brother Qun?" Ye Xiaoqing smiled and said, "Let me guess?"
As she spoke, she blinked, "Who in Wu Shanyue's detective brigade do you like?"
"I would like to call Qingmei the female Zhuge." Li Cuiqun showed a look of shock and joy and praised, "Indeed, just as Qingmei said, I have taken a liking to Wu Shanyue's detective brigade."
"Who is he?" Ye Xiaoqing asked curiously, "If he can attract the attention of the brothers, he must have some ability."
"To be exact, it's two people." Li Cuiqun said, "Wang Kangnian, the deputy captain of the detective team."
"Wang Kangnian, I have heard of this person. When he was in the Party Affairs Investigation Department, he was very good at catching red party members. Now he is with the Japanese. It is said that he is still very keen on catching red party members." Ye Xiaoqing thought and said, " Is there anyone else?"
“Tongxueyong.” Li Cuiqun said.
Ye Xiaoqing shook her head slightly. She had never heard of this person.
“This man used to be a member of the Red Party. Wang Kangnian led the detective team to arrest him,” Li Cuiqun said.
Ye Xiaoqing was about to ask when the phone on his desk rang.
Li Cuiqun didn’t answer the phone immediately. After the ring rang for another two seconds, he picked up the phone and said, “I’m Li Cuiqun.”
“Li Sang, I am Qingshui Dongsan.”
"Mr. Qingshui." Li Cuiqun subconsciously bent down, then immediately straightened his spine and said loudly.
Ye Xiaoqing noticed Li Cuiqun's two actions. He frowned slightly at first, and then chuckled in his heart.
At this time, Li Cuiqun had hung up the phone.
“Brother Qun, what does Qingshui Dong San want from you?” Ye Xiaoqing asked.
"Qing Shui said he wanted to introduce a friend to me." Li Cuiqun said with a thoughtful expression.
