"Meimei, how are you talking to these wives?"

"Don't mention it, they either say perfume or clothes, or they just brag about their husbands. They were all hypocritical, and the smile on my face was almost stiff."

"Haha, just get used to it. In the future, you will have no less chances of dealing with them." Lu Xiyan smiled.

"I don't want it."

"Well, you're still in school, and their circle probably won't pull you in." Lu Xiyan smiled, birds of a feather flocked, and people were divided into groups.

Women with truly independent thinking and personality are usually rarely willing to marry powerful people and are willing to be a vase at home. Those who are willing to bring them out to meet people are generally not their original marriages, and most of them are kept in the side room outside. How well can the socialites who rely on a face to make a living?

It is estimated that it is difficult for Meng Fanxing and them to have a common topic.

"What about you, those people just now are all the top figures in the French Concession. Look, you are talking to them quite well?" Meng Fanxing asked.

"They want to elect to serve as directors of the Chinese Tax Payment Council."

"They want you to be the Director of Hua?" Meng Fanxing was startled. Of course, she knew what the identity of Director of Hua meant to the Chinese in the French Concession.

"This matter has been brewing for a long time, but the candidate has not been decided. I thought I was chosen by them to accompany me, but I didn't expect that they would actually push me up." Lu Xiyan said.

"Did you agree?"

"Can I do not agree? I have no choice at this time." Lu Xiyan said.

"Did they push you up, and there was no intention?"

"Of course, these people are not fools. The four Huadongs are now, Zhang Xiaolin has the strongest strength and is supported by the Japanese. Although the remaining three people have a certain influence, their strength is far inferior to Zhang Xiaolin. They want to launch a person to compete with Zhang Xiaolin, and this person is me." Lu Xiyan said.

"Do they use you as a gun?"

"It can't be said that the person who competed with me for Dong Hua was from Zhang Xiaolin. Although it was three to two, these three could not fight those two. Therefore, they kept dragging it and failed to let Zhang Xiaolin succeed. This time, I happened to have a little meager contribution in controlling and preventing the spread of the epidemic. They took this opportunity to push me up. At this time, I have a great chance of winning." Lu Xiyan explained.

"If you want to be this Hua Gong, I am afraid that your family will be even more uneasy in the future."

"What we do is like sailing against the current, if we don't advance, we will retreat. This is a matter of no way. I have considered that if we follow the trend, the benefits will actually outweigh the disadvantages." Lu Xiyan said, "Dong Hua's identity is also a layer of amulet for me."

"Well, since you have decided, then go and do it, I support you." Meng Fanxing nodded.

"Thanks."

"You two have been separated for a while and then they get stuck together again. No wonder the newspaper says that you are now the most model couple in Shanghai." Tang Jin and Liu Xinying walked over with their arms in their arms.

"Sister Xinying, let's go over and talk to their men." Meng Fanxing let go of his arm and pulled Liu Xinying to the other side.

"Have you met Mr. Qi and Zhang Yishu?"

"Um."

“How to say it?”

"I agreed, but it is hard to say that tomorrow's by-election vote is a man named Zhang Xiaolin has always been arrogant and domineering, and it is difficult to deal with." Lu Xiyan said.

"As long as you agree to be the Director of Hua, you don't have to worry about the rest. This is still on the ground of the French Concession. If those members are not allowed to choose, they will naturally choose Zhang Xiaolin's people. But now some of them will choose what they will do without their brains." Tang Jin said.

"We still need to make complete preparations, and there are many things that have failed." Lu Xiyan said.

"This is an unnamed vote. Even Zhang Xiaolin, he can't do anything, right?" Tang Jin said.

"What if he tampered with the vote?"

"vote?"

"You mean, replace the votes, he dares to do this?" Tang Jin exclaimed.

"Although I don't know if he will do this, you plan to recommend me as Director Hua. I'm afraid he already knows it. If he doesn't want to lose, this is his only means. He dare not do something that threatens members, because once it does, it will cause a rebound in public opinion, and even his Director Hua will not be guaranteed. Therefore, he only needs to buy people to replace some of the votes before sing the votes and ensure that his people are elected. At that time, the fait accompli, and the Public and Directors Bureau can only recognize it." Lu Xiyan said.

"What should I do now?"

"Come here..."

"Gao, I'm afraid no one would have thought of this move. By that time, even if he wanted to change, it would be too late. Once the matter was exposed, he would not be able to get rid of it." After hearing this, Tang Jin gave Lu Xiyan a thumbs up.

"This is just for the sake of precautions, and I don't want this to happen either." Lu Xiyan said.

"In this matter, Mr. Oqi has to come forward. I'm afraid I don't have this face." Tang Jin said.

"Okay, let me tell you." Lu Xiyan sighed. After all, he was the one who benefited this matter. He went to find Oqi to express his attitude.

Although the French guild is still Saul's industry, the general manager is Oberman and the management is also dominated by Oberman. However, Oberman is just a professional manager. He receives a high salary and needs to be supervised.

Lu Xiyan is the supervisor appointed by Saul.

Therefore, Lu Xiyan has certain privileges in the French guild hall, such as having a private lounge, other priority, etc.

His meeting with Lao Mao was arranged in his private lounge at the French guild hall.

He is the only one in the private lounge with the keys.

He copied it and placed it with Hu Yunzhi, which was just in case of emergency. It came in handy today, otherwise he wouldn't find the opportunity to meet the old cat.

Hu Yunzhi was also here to celebrate the cocktail party, but he had no chance to come to Lu Xiyan, so he could only drink wine from a distance and say this to a few friends he knew.

This did not prevent him from eye contact with Lu Xiyan.

When the old cat came, he was waiting for him in his private lounge. Lu Xiyan used the excuse to find Consul Aoqi and went to the lounge alone.

The agreed signal knocks on the door.

The door opened, and the old cat dressed in a guild waiter showed half of his head, moved away from his body, and welcomed Lu Xiyan in.

"Comrade Judge, I finally saw you!" The two hands were tightly held together. No matter the old cat was excited, Lu Xiyan was also very excited.

"I've made you wait for a long time, Comrade Lao Cat."

"It's important to save people. I didn't expect a big epidemic to happen in Shanghai. If you postpone going to the epidemic area to wait for me, then I will be dead and never redeem it!" said the old cat.

"Thank you for understanding." Lu Xiyan thanked.

"Although I have been delayed these days, these days are not unreal. These days, I have spent time to learn about the struggle situation in Shanghai. This time I went to Yan'an to give a detailed report to the central chief." Lao Mao said.

"This is a good thing, Comrade Laomao." Lu Xiyan nodded.

"I want to listen to your suggestions on the underground struggle and intelligence work in Shanghai." Lao Mao asked seriously and solemnly.

"At present, the enemy has gained certain military advantages, but I judge that Japan has a small population and cannot withstand the consumption of such a war. Now it is provoking disputes in the north. I think they are likely to change their strategy towards China and change military conquests to political inducement. Judging from their importance to Wang Zhaoming, it is enough to change this direction." Lu Xiyan said.

"It seems that your sense of politics is very keen, comrade Judge." Lao Mao praised.

"I also analyzed this based on some of their recent political and military actions. If they continue to implement the current military strategy, we will certainly bear tremendous pressure, but their military strength and logistics are unsustainable. In particular, we have opened up a large number of anti-Japanese bases in their rears in North China, which has restrained a large number of Japanese troops. They are eager to digest the benefits they have taken now and achieve the goal of fighting to support war." Lu Xiyan continued.

"Well, it makes sense. The Japanese are not stupid. Of course, they understand the principle of taking the lead before the troops move," said Lao Mao.

"Shanghai will win a short period of peace in the future, but the underground struggle will become more and more intense. Moreover, as the war continues, Japan's plunder of the economy and resources of Shanghai and even China will continue to intensify. Once the European war breaks out, I think they will not give up on getting involved in the greed of a day."

"Your view is too bold. Do Japanese really have that big appetite?"

"I just feel that most of the military expenditure in Japan is spent on the navy, and they are still building warships in a steady stream. The Japanese Navy is already the number one in Asia. In the Western Pacific, only the US navy can compete with it. In Japan's external strategy, invasion and annexation of China is only the first step of his ambition. We are not the imaginary enemy of their imagination!" Lu Xiyan explained.

"Well, it's profound. People who have drunk foreign ink will look at the problem differently." The old cat exclaimed.

"I'm also thinking about it, and I don't know if what is said is right. I think the next step in the organization's work in Shanghai should not fight head-on with the enemy, assassination or assassination. Although it can relieve the temporary hatred, it will also cause innocent people to die. Of course, we are not saying that we will accept it. When it is time to take action, we should be ruthless and shock those traitors who are devoted to the Japanese. We must strike accurately and hit one blow. The impact will be much stronger than the several failed assassinations." Lu Xiyan said.

"Yeah, right."

"Also, the Japanese will inevitably block us in all aspects next, and it will become very difficult to obtain all kinds of materials. In addition to collecting intelligence, raising materials for the troops is the top priority. Managing underground material transportation lines can be said to be equally important as intelligence work."

"Well, Comrade Judge, your idea is consistent with the leader of your superiors." Lao Mao's eyes lit up, "Do you know, I came this time with the instructions of the leader of your superiors."

"Does the superior leader have any instructions?"

"The superior thinks that your current identity and position are very important, and you are extremely concerned about your safety, because you can do too many things for the party in this position. Originally, the superior planned to send you more personnel, but considering that you have too many identities, once strangers appear around you, it will inevitably attract the attention of outsiders. Therefore, the superior decided not to send you people."

"What does the superior mean? I need a manpower now?" Lu Xiyan said.

"Don't worry, listen to me." Lao Mao raised his hand and said, "It's not that the superiors don't send people to you, but that they don't send people to your side. They send people to the companies under your name through other channels. Of course, they generally won't contact you and don't know your existence, but you are their leader, and you can direct them to do things when necessary."
