After leaving the Tevens Cafe, Chen Miao got on a tram, took to Tibet Road, then got off and walked to the Jockey Club Building.

"Brother Third, I haven't seen you one day. I heard you are sick?" As soon as I entered the door, A Chengju, who was familiar with him, came up and greeted happily.

"Well, I feel a little uncomfortable. The doctor said it was heatstroke." Chen Miao nodded politely.

He has a good position in the Jockey Club and is an assistant to the general manager. This position is usually only qualified for Westerners. He can take this position because of his personal ability.

Of course, he is not just the assistant to the general manager of the Malay Association, he is just one of the three assistants of the general manager John.

"Brother Third, you are back and have your leave. Mr. John has a bad temper these days, all because you are not here." Eva, the beautiful Miss Belarus at the front desk, said in a low voice.

"I understand, thank you." Chen Miao responded lightly.

Since he has entered No. 76, he will definitely not be able to continue working at the Jockey Club, but he may lose a lot of gray income in the future.

However, it doesn't matter. No. 76 is not a Qingshui agency. I guess those people's methods of making money are more ruthless and direct. Even if they don't interfere, they will have their own share. If they don't take the money, others will take it. Besides, they don't have to pretend to be aloof among a group of traitors.

Dongdong!

"Oh, my dear Sanshui, you finally come to work. You don't know that during the days when you are not here, my work and life are simply a mess..." As soon as Chen Miao came in, General Manager John rushed over excitedly and gave him a bear hug to meet him.

Chen Miao really didn't even have a chance to refuse. The injury on his left shoulder was squeezed hard again, and he was sweating coldly. If this continues, he even suspects that his injury is still going to be better. If there are any sequelae, there will be no room for reason.

"Mr. General Manager, I'm really sorry, I'm here to resign to you today." Chen Miao placed the resignation letter that had been prepared on John's desk.

"Sanshui, are you serious?" John said in surprise and looked at Chen Miao in disbelief.

"Mr. John, I'm serious," said Chen Miao. "I'm very happy to be able to work under your hands, but there is an old Chinese saying that you should separate when you should."

"Why? I don't pay enough?"

"I may have to have a new life. This job is not suitable for my current identity." Chen Miao didn't want to say it too bluntly, but it was already very clear.

Chen Mingchu searched his office with the spy No. 76 and took away his "typewriter". He didn't believe that John was not aware of it at all. Can't he guess his identity?

"Sanshui, are you sure you want to give up this job? I can add another 30% of your salary to you. Are you higher than both of them?" John still wanted to use a high salary to retain Chen Miao, because Chen Miao's ability is the strongest among his three assistants, which can help him the most.

He was a little confused. It was difficult to find a job like him in the Shanghai Concession, and how many people were unemployed and struggled on the hunger line, but he wanted to give up.

"Actually, Frank is good. He is just a little lazy. As long as you can fire him as a threat, I think he should be competent for my job." Chen Miao had to leave himself, and he couldn't be irresponsible. He had to recommend someone to replace him to John.

"That Western Cowboy, Frank?" John frowned. He seemed to have a very good impression of this person, but he would still seriously consider the person recommended by Chen Miao.

"If you confirm that he will take over my job, I will hand over the work with him in the next two days." Chen Miao said.

John said helplessly: "Okay, Sanshui, since you are leaving, I will no longer force you to keep you. You and Frank hand over the job, and then come over to get your final salary."

"Thank you, Mr. John." Chen Miao bent down slightly and bowed to John.

...

In the office of the Jockey Club, Chen Miao also had some personal belongings. He found a large cardboard box and put them away one by one. Then he told Frank the news of his resignation.

Flak was also surprised, but accepted his resignation and said he wanted to hold a farewell party for him, but was rejected by Chen Miao.

Then he quietly left the side door of the Jockey Club with his own belongings.

As for the remaining salary, he didn't get it. If he had the chance in the future, he would never come to run again in a short period of time.

Goodbye, the Jockey Club.

Fortunately, he rented a safe house on Maiyang Road, otherwise he wouldn't even have a place to stay now.

After a brief wash, changing into a clean shirt, Chen Miao went out again. He made an appointment with Four Yewen to have a drink in the Japanese tavern on Kaina Road in the evening.

When I came out, I found that the weather was a little stuffy and windless, and it was very likely to rain at night, so I turned back and took an old umbrella.

Chen Miao left the door at half past six, and when he reached the road, it was almost 6:40. It was about 7:00 when he made an appointment with Four Yewen.

Therefore, it is still time to go.

Four Yewen didn't say the specific name in the Japanese-style tavern on Kaina Road, so Chen Miao could only walk east and west along the street and search one by one.

I found a Japanese tavern called Chizuru. There were Japanese ronin samurai wearing wooden clogs at the door, and some Japanese in suits and ties. There were fewer Chinese and Westerners in and out.

I don’t know if it’s this one, and if there is a second Japanese-style tavern on Kaina Road.

I took out my pocket watch and looked at it. It was still early. Chen Miao continued to go west until he walked all over the entire Kaina Road and found that there was only this Japanese tavern.

Although Four Yewen didn't say his name, he didn't let him find the wrong place, because there was only this one on the whole road.

This is not Hongkou District, but some Japanese taverns in Hongkou District are not allowed to enter Chinese and Westerners except for Japanese soldiers and Japanese overseas Chinese.

As long as you dress neatly, anyone can go in and consume.

As soon as Chen Miao stepped inside, he saw two Japanese women in kimono at the door bent down to salute him, and then reached out to make a gesture of "please enter".

Although Chen Miao does not agree with the aesthetic view of Japanese people applying pink and red, their etiquette of treating people and things is indeed unaccustomable.

In addition to the welcome guests at the door, the people who shuttled inside were also women in kimonos. It is not clear whether they were all Japanese.

I heard that many of them came from the Peninsula and the Northeast.

Does Chen Miao know Japanese? Of course, he does it. He is still engaged in intelligence editing and the target is Japan. He needs to read Japanese books and newspapers. If he doesn’t understand Japanese, how can he do this job?

Therefore, although he doesn't go to Japanese taverns often, he is still clear about the situation inside.

With a few skillful answers, the waitress in the kimono naturally regarded him as an authentic Japanese, and she looked like a successful person.

Chen Miao walked around and didn't see Four Yewen. He probably hadn't arrived yet. He looked for an empty seat near the window and sat down.

This season, Japanese taverns also provide beer, mainly Asahi beer, which is produced by the Japanese Ale Co., Ltd. After being shipped to China, the price is very high and most people can't afford it.

Then there is sake and soju, and fruit wine.

Sake is a type of wine fermented at low temperature. It has a low degree and is purely brewed, and the price is slightly more expensive.

As the name suggests, soju is a distilled liquor, with a degree of generally above 20 degrees, but the taste is softer than that of Chinese liquor.

It is easy to understand fruit wine. Plum wine is an extremely special type among Japanese fruit wines. It is made of green plum juice, sake and burning.

Because Four Yewen didn't come, Chen Miao just asked for a glass of water and waited for a while.

Before I could wait, I saw a black car passing outside the window and parked at the door of the tavern. Four Yewen got out of the car in a suit.

In addition to him, Chen Miao also saw someone with Four Yewen, talking and laughing, and humbly entered the "Qianhe" tavern together.

"Brother Fu?"

Seeing the two of them coming in, Chen Miao stood up from his seat and raised his hand to greet him.

When Fu Yewen saw Chen Miao, he laughed and walked over with the man, pointing to the square-faced man who came over with him and said, "Brother Chen, let me introduce him. This is Tang Keming, the head of the intelligence department."

"Secretary Tang, I've been looking forward to it for a long time." Chen Miao reached out to him.

Tang Keming smiled funnyly: "Although I haven't seen you, I've already appreciated your style."

Chen Miao couldn't help but be stunned.

"Brother Chen, you forgot that you were in the gun room in the morning?" Fu Yewen squeezed his eyes at Chen Miao and reminded him.

"Oh, that's just an accident. I really can't stand a woman so arrogant and domineering..."

"Haha, just brother Sanshui, you dare to say this, but Xiao Duan's big mouth is so popular that he can spread it everywhere, so he knows the entire No. 76. It's inconvenient to speak in this hall. How about we change a place?" Four Yewen saw that there was no concealment nearby. How could these people say and do things?

"There should be a private room here." Tang Keming said.

After some exchanges and requests, I changed to a private room, so the conversation became much more private.

"Brother Chen, what are you drinking?" Fu Yewen sat down and said to himself as his master, "I forgot that Brother Chen has injuries. Drink some plum wine. Here is a good plum wine, and it won't hurt your body."

Chen Miao nodded.

"Keming, where are you?"

"I'm free." Tang Keming smiled. Obviously, he had a good relationship with Four Yewen, otherwise they wouldn't be so casual. Especially tonight, Chen Miao only invited Four Yewen, but he brought Tang Keming with him, which was enough to illustrate the problem.

"Then let's go to the sake bar, first ten rounds (the unit of sake measurement, one round is about 180 ml, and it is served in a porcelain bottle). If not enough, order it?" Four Yewen said to himself, "The side dishes here are pretty good. First, eight small butterflies, braised beef, boiled edamame, crispy peanuts..."

"Hayi." The waitress agreed and took the menu and prepared.

After sitting down and chatting for a few moments, the waitress brought the wine and food they ordered, which was very fast.

"Brother Chen is a talent for intelligence. My intelligence department needs talents like you. I don't know what Deputy Director Lin thought, but he actually arranged you to the Archives Department. What is our Archives Department on No. 76, but nothing?" Halfway through the wine, Tang Keming actually complained in front of Four Yewen and Chen Miao.

"To be honest, No. 76 has no shortage of people, but there is only a lack of professional talents like you, Brother Chen. It is really not something that Wu Yunfu can do when dealing with those Chongqing elements..."

"Brother Tang, you've drunk too much." Fu Yewen hurriedly stopped, "Brother Chen, when Tang Keming drinks too much, he's talking nonsense, don't mind."

"It's okay, Brother Tang is a person with true nature at first glance." Chen Miao mostly played the role of a listener tonight. Although he walked around No. 76 today and had a general understanding of the factional struggles within No. 76, many people have never seen it, especially the captains of the action team and those who are not in the office of No. 76. They all belong to which faction they belong. This needs to be figured out slowly.

Tang Ke obviously has a good relationship with Four Yewen. One of them is in charge of intelligence and the other is in charge of confidentiality, and they are all key departments. Lin Shiqun trusts them deeply, but they think they are social elites, so how could they not be with people like Wu Yunfu, who are from the bottom class? Naturally, they look down on them.

After all, Chen Miao was from the Military Commission's special training class, so he naturally classified himself as a social elite like Tang Keming, and he instinctively felt a sense of intimacy.

Four Yewen is willing to make friends, and Chen Miao also needs friends on No. 76, not to mention that Four Yewen is not that annoying and has a close relationship with Lin Shiqun.
