Chapter 46: Tiger's Den and Wolf's Den
"Hey, Captain Zhang, what's wrong with your forehead?" Chen Miao suddenly noticed that Zhang Guozhen's left face had a blue forehead, as if he had been beaten.
Zhang Guozhen hurriedly reached out to cover it up and said awkwardly: "No, it's okay, I accidentally knocked on the door frame."
Zhang Guozhen is not tall. Unless it is a low cellar in the dark, he can knock his forehead, so the door frame is really short.
Chen Miao smiled and did not ask questions. There must be something wrong with this. People are unwilling to say it. If you continue to ask questions, wouldn’t that embarrassing?
"Brother Chen, I am here to pick you up to headquarters No. 76 on the order of our captain." Zhang Guozhen said.
"Mr. Four Yewen came yesterday and notified me. However, can you wait a moment? Miss Liang cannot be without people. I have called the girl who is serving her. When she comes, I will follow you. I will go there, right?" Chen Miao explained.
Zhang Guozhen nodded. He knew what kind of virtues his subordinates were. Not to mention taking care of people, they might not even be able to take good care of themselves, let alone a famous woman like Liang Xueqin, who could not be beaten or touched.
"Captain Zhang, do you carry cigarettes on you? Let's go and smoke a cigarette?" Chen Miao said.
"Okay." Zhang Guozhen said.
...
Qiao'er received a call from Chen Miao and rushed over from Nanshi in the morning.
"Third brother, what's going on? Why did Sister Xueqin get heatstroke?" Seeing Chen Miao from a distance, she jogged all the way, her nose covered with sweat.
"The doctor said he didn't have a good rest, and the weather was hot, so he had heat stroke." Chen Miao explained.
"Oh, I'll go in and see Sister Xueqin." Qiao'er, without any doubt, pushed open the ward door and went in excitedly. Chen Miao walked in with her.
"Qiao'er, are you here?" Seeing Qiao'er come in, Liang Xueqin sat up with support.
Qiao'er pursed and said, "Sister Xueqin, what's wrong with you? Lao Gu is sick, you are sick with you. Lao Cai is not feeling well these days. I am under a lot of pressure by myself."
"What's wrong with Lao Cai?"
"Old Cai is fine, he just feels a little slapped. The doctor prescribed him two doses of medicine, and it's much better after taking it." Qiao'er replied.
"Oh, that's good." Liang Xueqin breathed a sigh of relief. She was lying in the hospital. If Lao Cai was sick again, no one would take care of Tingxuelou.
Chen Miao knew that Lao Cai was heartbroken and scared. He had been in his half life and probably had never encountered such a thing. How could he not get sick if he was scared?
This heart disease also requires heart medicine. As long as Liang Xueqin is safe and sound, Lao Cai's heart disease will naturally be eliminated.
"Xueqin, since Qiao'er is here, I'll be relieved if she takes care of you." Chen Miao knew that it was time to leave, and he was so sad that he said too much.
"Stern brother, wait a moment." Qiao'er called Chen Miao.
"What's wrong, Qiaoer, do you have something to do?"
"Sister Xueqin can't get used to the food outside. I want to go to the vegetable market to buy vegetables for her, but it's too far back to Nanshi. Can I use your kitchen?" Qiao'er asked.
"This..." Chen Miao looked at Liang Xueqin on the hospital bed.
"Brother San, what are you doing in your kitchen?" Qiaoer smiled and muttered.
"Qiao'er, don't bother your third brother. I'll only stay in the hospital for two days to observe. I can be discharged if I have nothing to do, there is no need." Liang Xueqin said.
"It is necessary that patients can recover quickly if they eat well." Qiao'er said seriously.
Chen Miao smiled: "Qiao'er is right, it's me who neglected it. However, I have nothing at home. If you want to cook, you have to buy vegetables by yourself."
"Don't worry, brother, I know there is a vegetable market near your house." Qiao'er said.
Chen Miao took out the key from his pocket and put it in Qiao'er's hand and said, "Qiao'er, I'll give you the key and take good care of you Sister Xueqin."
"Don't worry, it's okay to hand it over to me." Qiao'er didn't notice something was wrong, so she put away the key. Liang Xueqin didn't even have the chance to make a sound to stop it.
...
The key was handed over to Qiaoer, and Chen Miao knew that he would probably not go back to Maggie's apartment again. There was nothing valuable anyway, so I'll find a chance to get it later.
It is only a ten-minute drive from the hospital to the 76th.
After Chen Miao arrived, someone from the registration department immediately led him to the reception room.
Anyone who joins No. 76 must fill out an affidavit and then hold an oath ceremony in the reception room, with the introducer serving as the emcee, and Ding Mohan or Lin Shiqun are responsible for supervising. After the ceremony, a reward will be given to participate, which is uncertain.
The affidavit is deposited into the registration section and handed over to the archives room for sealing and safekeeping.
"Brother Chen, we're meeting again." Four Yewen appeared in front of Chen Miao, holding a blank affidavit and a pen in his hand.
"Hello Brother Fu."
"Routine rules, Brother Chen, please!" Four Yewen unscrewed the fountain pen cap, put it on the other end in the opposite direction, and handed it to Chen Miao with a smile.
Chen Miao took the pen and the affidavits had templates, and the contents were similar. It was just that he had to write it himself. Only those who were illiterate would need to do it for others, and then press the fingerprint on it.
"Brother Chen, your word is so beautiful." Looking at Chen Miao's writing, Four Yewen couldn't help but exclaim.
"If Brother Fu has been sitting on the bench for four or five years, he can still learn this good word." Chen Miao smiled self-deprecatingly.
"Have Brother Chen ever been a teacher?"
"After working for a few months, why did Brother Fu ask this?" Chen Miao replied naturally.
Four Yewen smiled and said, "It's nothing. I think Brother Chen has both good literary talent. If he is a teacher, he will definitely be full of talents all over the world."
"Brother Fu, who am I writing about?"
"Oh, you don't need to write this. Sign your name and date, and then press a fingerprint, and then you will be considered." Four Yewen hurriedly said.
"alright."
Four Yewen held Chen Miao's affidavit in his hand and exclaimed: "It's done in one go, good words."
"Brother Fu has praised me, please take care of me in the future." Chen Miao said with a false fist.
"It must be certain, Brother Chen wait a moment and come soon."
Before Chen Miao waited for a long time, he saw Lin Shiqun and Four Yewen coming over. Behind them, there was a middle-aged man wearing short-sleeved crab-shelled face. He wore black-framed glasses, had a little high cheekbones, and a little unhealthy sallow complexion. He was sick and seemed to be blown away by a gust of wind at any time.
Ding Mohan!
Chen Miao had met Ding Mohan. He also taught in the Honggong Temple special training class, so it would not be an exaggeration to call him "teacher".
Of course, Ding Mohan may not remember him as a student, because Ding Mohan is not a special instructor, he just arranged a few classes temporarily.
Chen Miao still remembers that Ding Mohan was talking about "political intelligence" at that time.
In addition, Chen Miao and Ding Mohan have another relationship, that is, Fu Yewen just asked him "had he been a teacher?" He said he had been a teacher for several months.
Ding Mohan used to be the principal of Shanghai Mingguang Middle School, and Chen Miao also worked as a teacher at Mingguang Middle School for several months. At that time, the Blue-Yi Society arranged for him to go to Mingguang Middle School to carry out "school luck" and develop the Blue-Yi Society's peripheral organizations.
When he entered the school, Ding Mohan happened to resign from Mingguang Middle School.
It can be said that it was perfectly staggered, and they almost became colleagues.
"Brother Sanshui, let me introduce you. This is Director Ding Mohan of our No. 76." Lin Shiqun walked over with a smile on his face, pointed at Ding Mohan and introduced.
"Hello Director Ding." Chen Miao said with no humility or arrogance.
Ding Mohan looked up and down at Chen Miao, but didn't say anything, just nodded.
Lin Shiqun continued: "Today, Sanshui brothers joined our No. 76. I am his introducer, and Director Ding serves as the oath supervisor."
Since the opening of the 76th and the number of people has continued to grow, unless they are heavyweights, such as Wang Tianhuan, Lin Shiqun or Ding Mohan will be the introducer. It would be amazing for ordinary people to let Wu Yunfu or Ling Zhijiang be the introducer.
Chen Miao was able to let Lin Shiqun be the introducer himself. This is really an "attribute" within No. 76. Even Fu Yewen's gaze at Chen Miao was different from what he had just seen.
This kind of ceremony was just a formality. Ding Mohan and Chen Miao just shook hands routinely, talked a few words, and then took the people away.
Obviously, he has regarded Chen Miao as Lin Shiqun's person. Since he is not his own, there is no need to show that he is too close.
This also made Chen Miao see that the conflict between Ding Mohan and Lin Shiqun on No. 76 has been in a stage of openness.
The spoils are being divided, and there has been internal strife. It can be foreseeable that this No. 76 is probably the rabbit's tail and cannot grow.
"Brother Sanshui, this is for you." Four Yewen handed Chen Miao an envelope.
"What?" Chen Miao took it in surprise and found that the envelope was open. When he opened it, he saw a stack of brand new banknotes, with a denomination of ten yuan, twenty or thirty pieces.
"It's a lot, Wang Tianhuan only gave it five hundred." Fu Yewen smiled, obviously knowing how much money there was in the envelope.
Chen Miao nodded. He didn't have much money. In a place like Shanghai where he spent money, the little money was not enough to go to the fireworks place for several nights.
But for the poor, this is another huge sum of money, which can at least allow a family of three to survive for a long time. If it is not spent randomly, there will be no problem for a year.
After counting this, there are a lot more.
"Brother Fu, I am a person from No. 76, what about the errand?" Chen Miao put it away. Although he is not short of money, he also has many places to spend money. Since it is given for nothing, it will not be spent.
"Let's go, Deputy Director Lin is waiting to see you, and he will invite you to dinner later. Then, I will introduce you to meet everyone. The big guy took you to a quick look the day before yesterday, but he must have not seen it clearly, right?" Fu Yewen smiled and patted Chen Miao's left shoulder intimately.
"Ouch..." Chen Miao took a breath of air conditioning.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I forgot that you have an injury on your left shoulder. I'll get a drink later, haha..."
