"Come on, Xiaopeng, according to our customs, come and greet me on the first day of the Lunar New Year, and I want to give you New Year's money!" Chen Mingxiang took out a large ocean wrapped in red paper from the safe in the study.

Twenty oceans are a seal, and the weight is about one pound, and the standard oceans is 26.8 grams. There are also one hundred oceans, which weigh more than five pounds, making it inconvenient to use.

"Although you are all adults, you can't go back empty-handed. Twenty yuan per person is considered a red envelope. The depreciation of this fiat currency is getting faster and faster. The ocean is starting to rise again. Don't deposit fiat currency if you have money." Chen Mingxiang gave Li Zhendong and Xue Lin a fiat currency of twenty yuan per person.

When Lu Kunyu heard that this family was actually rescued by Chen Mingxiang, he felt a different feeling in his heart. His senior brother did not change and always maintained a kind heart, but he didn't want people to know.

"Sir, I will be able to move after the New Year. Please arrange an errand for me and Xue Lin. Our whole family cannot receive your favor in vain!" Li Zhendong said.

For people like him, not working without money is a whole lot of pain, not to mention that Chen Mingxiang gave him not only money, but also a temporary home.

"You find a few trustworthy friends and brothers to work at the transportation team of Huatong Trading Company, responsible for delivering goods to customers, and also help me collect some goods, such as grain, cotton, cotton yarn, pig bristles, tea, coal, etc. The car cannot come back empty, it would be too wasteful."

"As for Xue Lin, the pharmacies and clinics have started to open, and I have not hired an account, just to give you a seat, buy you a bicycle after the New Year, and run back and forth on both sides." Chen Mingxiang said.

"Uncle, I can work too. Give me an errand!" Xue Xiaopeng said.

"You are smart and you will still sell newspapers on the streets in the future. Your Uncle Chen's job is not easy to do. People are staring at you everywhere. You are wandering around my house and the company, and find a few smart newspaper boys. I will give you two cents a day."

"Remember, even if you see someone following me or surfing your head near my home and company, you don't have to make it clear. Just tell me secretly. I'll give you thirty yuan a month." Chen Mingxiang said with a smile.

Agents are the most dangerous profession. Be cautious and walking on thin ice. You may be exposed at any time. If you don’t show your own strength, maybe someone in the department will rebel and you will be exposed.

Chen Mingxiang was worried that someone in the agent headquarters or the special high school department would suspect him and secretly monitor him, so he thought of using Xue Xiaopeng's newspaper boy group as a daily eye and ear.

It is hard for the enemy to think that he would take such measures to deal with it. As long as he persists for a long time, he will definitely gain something. If he walks too much at night, he will eventually hit a ghost.

Chen Mingxiang had no airs, so Li Zhendong and his family stayed here to make dumplings, so the atmosphere at home was a little more lively, and they even drank two drinks at noon.

"What a beautiful garden villa, do you mean that this is our new home in the future?" After dinner, Chen Mingxiang took Lu Kunyu to the new home and took a look.

This is a typical European-style building, with floor-to-ceiling glass windows, floral sofas and golden chandeliers, red wooden floors, and fireplaces, giving people an exotic feeling, which Lu Kunyu likes very much.

"This is a house robbed by the military police headquarters. It was originally owned by a senior official in the mountain city, but no one has lived there. It was covered in dust. In two days, I will find someone to clean it up, change some bedroom furniture, organize the garden, and you can move over and live with me."

"Actually, there is also a garden villa, which is only four or five miles away. We don't need it now, so let's just stay idle for the time being. There are too many houses, which is also a problem." Chen Mingxiang said with a smile.

"You, a big man, are not suitable for worrying about this kind of thing. I will be responsible for cleaning the house. The walls do not need to be repainted. The furniture and doors and windows must be disinfected and wiped clean. Remove the sofa covers and carpets, and then ventilate and hang them for a few days."

"The curtains should be replaced with what I like, and the bed can be kept, but the bedding must be replaced with new ones, pots, pans, bowls, chopsticks, tea sets and wine sets, plus scattered things, give me two thousand yuan first, if not enough, I will ask you for it, and if there is too much, I will not return." Lu Kunyu said.

"What a pity, you can't stay at home. The environment in the Shanghai Stock Exchange is so chaotic and harsh. I'm really a little worried about you." Chen Mingxiang said.

This is the truth. He is very worried about Lu Kunyu's safety. Both the Japanese and the traitors of the Wang puppet government have taken extremely harsh measures against the underground party, and the Concession Bureau Police Department is not a good thing.

What's more serious is that the Military Control Commission and the Central Commission for Lianshancheng also seized the opportunity and attacked the underground party, and the living environment was difficult.

It is not scary to become an underground party. Judging from Chen Mingxiang's professional qualities, Lu Kunyu is too immature. She doesn't understand the fighting skills of underground work, and she may encounter danger.

"You are talking about puns, right? I know you are for my own good, afraid that I will encounter danger, but seeing the invaders doing all kinds of evil in the Shanghai market, watching so many ordinary people die miserably due to the war, some of them are still hungry babies, I just want to do something within my ability."

"Senior brother, I remember when you were in Fudan University, you were very brave and hated the invaders very much. During August 13, you and a group of classmates braved the guns and brought consolation to the soldiers of the War of Resistance, which proved that your heart was patriotic."

"Now you are from the agent headquarters and have a deep relationship with the Japanese military police headquarters. You are about to become the translator of the inspection team that controls the entry and exit of Shanghai Stock Exchange. Why are you unwilling to help your fellow villagers?" Lu Kunyu believed that he had found a suitable opportunity to talk.

"You are not well-informed and do not understand these things. My current identity is very sensitive, especially the audit team that is about to be established. It is an offensive job. Everyone knows that the materials are extremely tight during the war. The price at this time is several times or dozens of times higher than usual."

"What does the inspection team do? It is to control the incoming and outgoing materials for the Gendarmerie Command and not allow the flow of prohibited materials to the Kuomintang-controlled areas or base areas. I relax the inspection. The Gendarmerie Command is unhappy. Don't think that I have multiple positions, I will have nothing if the Japanese say."

"If I check strictly, who will dare to smuggle into the Kuomintang-controlled area? How many people do I have to dare to offend them in the Shanghai Municipal Government, police station, agent headquarters, gang leaders and even the army?"
