Chapter 61 Selling, Drinking, Selling, Drinking

Schultz walked into the special city park in the city center. This small park, which is only a few dozen acres, is a good place to be quiet in Harbin.

Stepping across the bridge and walking to the island in the middle of the lake, Schultz sat on a bench and pretending to appreciate the scenery, Schultz observed the pedestrians passing by.

Half an hour later, a middle-aged man wearing a top hat and a robe walked over with a small suitcase.

"Sir, what time is it?" asked the middle-aged man.

Schultz raised his wrist and glanced at the watch and replied, "Five 20."

He deliberately said for ten minutes.

The middle-aged man bowed slightly to greet him and then sat beside him and placed his small suitcase between the two.

He took out the metal cigarette box and opened it, and the middle-aged man handed it to Schultz.

There were only three cigarettes in the cigarette box. Schultz said thank you and reached out to pick up the cigarette in the middle.

He took out the lighter in his pocket and lit his cigarette first, then lit the cigarette for the middle-aged man as if he had just remembered it.

It is impolite to do so.

"Why haven't the pianist arrived yet?" Schultz asked in a puff of cigarette and looked into the distance.

He refers to the radio operator.

"The Japanese investigated too hard and were blocked outside." The middle-aged man whispered.

"Now you can only operate it yourself. The organization found an old Connediger thing for you to use." said the middle-aged man.

Schultz glanced at the small suitcase and said, "So small? It would be great if I could build a thirty-meter-high antenna."

"You can only launch dozens of kilometers with a simple antenna. You can forward it to you after receiving it by other intelligence stations. Pay attention to the time of sending it!" the middle-aged man replied.

Schultz could only nod helplessly. With the transmitter around him, there was a little more danger.

"There is still a sum of money in the box. The organization allows you to integrate into the expatriates in Harbin as soon as possible. The focus is on the Russian expatriates!" The middle-aged man said, looking into the distance as if he was admiring the scenery.

"In recent years, the Japanese have established various anti-Soviet organizations among the Russians in the Northeast. I heard that they have also recruited young Russians to form three troops. Harbin troops, Hailar troops and Hengdaohezi troops. The organization believes that this is not an ordinary unit, but an intelligence unit. You must understand the situation of this unit as soon as possible. Some of the Russians in Harbin must know it." The middle-aged man continued.

"In order to carry out your work better, you can develop several peripheral intelligence officers. Don't worry about this, take it slowly. The people who develop must be absolutely reliable!" said the middle-aged man at the end.

After saying this, the middle-aged man stood up and smiled and nodded to Schultz and then walked out of the park.

Schultz used his feet to put the small suitcase closer to him and then observed for a while, then he picked up the suitcase and walked out of the park.

Madame Genet took the account book of the month handed over by the translator Zhang Lixing and glanced at it and was about to put it down.

She was stunned when she saw the last summary figures in the account book.

Madame Genet put down the account book and thought about it and asked Zhang Lixing: "How many cocktail parties did we hold in May?"

"Four times, madam." Zhang Lixing replied.

Madame Gene nodded. The number of times the reception was held was no different from other months. The scale was no different. But why was the summed amount of expenditure much less than in the previous few months?

Although Madame Genet was not concerned about money, she could tell at a glance that the amount spent in May was too low.

"Take all the books of the previous few months and last year," Madame Gene ordered.

Zhang Lixing agreed to go out and came back soon after holding a stack of books.

Madame Genet just looked at the last summation of the amounts one by one. Compared with the expenses in May, these figures were much larger.

The only change in the French consulate in May was to change a purchaser, which saved a lot of money for the French consulate!

Madame Genet calculated roughly in her mind. If she had spent the same amount last year at the same amount in May this year, the money she saved in a year was enough to buy first-class tickets for two trips from Shanghai to Marseille!

"Kukau!" Madame Genet couldn't help but say. After saying this, she hurriedly shut up.

Swearing is an act that is not in line with her gentlemanly image.

This account book was recorded by Zhang Lixing. He had known what the problem was. The consulate used to be too brave to buy old money.

This time it was replaced by Qian Xiaobao, and all the previous problems were immediately exposed.

Just now, Madame Genet called Lao Qian the greedy pigs lightly in French.

"Have Lao Qian recovered from his illness?" asked Madame Gene.

"Not yet. I heard that he was seriously ill." Zhang Lixing replied.

"Even if it's done, let him get out!" said Madame Gene. This was her second time cursing today.

"Is that little guy here? Let him come to see me immediately." Madame Genet said in a short moment, changing her smile.

Zhang Lixing only saw this smiling face when Madame Gene met a handsome and handsome young man at the cocktail party.

When Zhang Lixing found Qian Xiaobao, he was joking with two Russian girls who were servants in the French consulate.

The parents of these girls fled from Russia to Northeast China around 1920. So they grew up in Northeast China since childhood. The Northeast dialect is no different from Qian Xiaobao and they can speak Russian.

Qian Xiaobao went to the consulate every day to chat with these two girls in the name of learning Russian.

"Natasha, how do you say handsome in Russian? For example, what should you say if I want to say that I am very handsome?" Qian Xiaobao asked with a smile on his face.

"This is very simple. I'll teach you now." Natasha said with a smile.

Then she said in Russian: I am a toad.

As soon as Natasha finished speaking, the other girl kept giggling.

Qian Xiaobao immediately looked at Natasha with caution and said, "You are very bad! You are a witch riding a broom living in the big forest!"

At this moment, Zhang Lixing walked in and said to Qian Xiaobao: "Madame Gene wants to see you now, come with me quickly."

Qian Xiaobao made a face to the two girls and went out with Zhang Lixing.

"What's the matter? Is it going to hold a cocktail party again?" Qian Xiaobao asked.

"No. Madame Gene is very satisfied with you." Zhang Lixing said.

When Madame Genet saw the two of them walking in, she said to them: "Come with me." After that, she took the lead to the second floor and opened the door to a room.

This room is the small living room outside the bedroom of the Gene couple.

Madame Gene pointed to the big box one meter high in the corner of the wall and said to Qian Xiaobao: "This thing is broken, take it outside to repair it. If it is repaired, it will be yours."

Zhang Lixing looked shocked. This is a French Thomson radio, which is valuable even if it is broken.

Listening to Zhang Lixing's translation and looking at Zhang Lixing's expression, Qian Xiaobao knew that the square big box was a good thing.
