Chapter 632: Admiration is like a river flowing endlessly
After the ceremony, there was a banquet to come. Matsuzaki, relying on his status, did not want to stay and drink, and prepared to leave.
Lin Ze symbolically tried to persuade him to stay, "Mr. Matsuzaki, why don't you stay for a drink? All the important people in Peking want to toast you."
Matsuzaki laughed and thought that Lin Sang's words were always pleasant.
"There are still some things to do at the headquarters. Although Osako Michimasa is dead, we still need to work with that investigator to prepare a report and submit it to the headquarters. I won't drink today. When you make new achievements in Tianjin, I will hold a celebration banquet for you alone."
Lin Ze saw him out, and when he came back, he was instantly overwhelmed by the enthusiastic crowd.
"Major, I am Xiao Wang from the Peking Chamber of Commerce. Last time..."
"Master Lin! I'm from the Internal Affairs Department. I heard you scold Wang Yitang. That grandson was not very kind to us. You helped us vent our anger. I have to toast you!"
"Master Lin! I live not far from the Coordination Bureau, so we are neighbors. By the way, during the Chinese New Year, I went to your house to pay New Year's greetings. A few days ago, I got a golden Buddha. I don't know anything about it. Can you appreciate it for me?"
Lin Ze was shocked. Oh my god, I thought you were saying something in code!
"Thank you, sir, but I am not interested in the golden Buddha."
When he heard that he was not interested, someone next to him interrupted, "That's right, gold and silver, so vulgar, who is Mr. Lin? How can you pollute Mr. Lin's eyes with those filthy things? I have a jade Buddha, a jade Buddha! I'll send it to your door someday and invite Mr. Lin to visit."
Lin Ze dealt with it reluctantly with a forced smile. After all, one should not hit a smiling person. These people came to congratulate him today, so it would be bad to ignore them.
Seeing that Lin Ze was not in a good mood, the group of people retreated awkwardly after a while.
But they soon found a new target.
We are not qualified to make friends with Master Lin, nor are we qualified to make friends with Director Gao!
I heard that this person is Master Lin’s most loyal friend, even Master Lin calls him Big Brother!
"Hey Director Gao, I haven't seen you for a few days. You look even more imposing now. To be honest, I don't even recognize you as my brother."
"Uncle Gao, do you still remember me? Last time we had dinner, my father and I toasted you!"
"Director Gao, I have a golden Buddha at home. I don't understand this either. Please appreciate it..."
Lao Gao likes this. He is quite rich now, but he just likes to receive gifts. I don’t know why, maybe free things are more attractive.
"My dear brother, you have found the right person. You know, when Shengmin was still a patrol captain, he liked to give me antiques. I have helped him identify a lot of good stuff!"
Everyone immediately followed suit, "Oh! So, Master Lin has known you for a long time!"
Gao Shengping felt so happy!
"Of course. The first time I saw my brother Shengmin, I knew he was extraordinary. Even though he was not of high rank at the beginning, we were friends of the same generation. How about now? Look at him, how is he now?"
Speaking of this, Lao Gao himself couldn't help but sigh.
When Shengmin gave me a gift, I thought he was just a smart and capable young man. When the gendarmerie headquarters transferred patrolmen to do work, it was I who asked him to follow me!
But in just a few years, Brother Shengmin has grown to a level that even I have to look up to! !
Fortunately, in the past few years, my relationship with Brother Shengmin has become better and better. The faster he is promoted, the more I can benefit from him. Now, isn't this position of director and this huge fortune all thanks to Brother Shengmin?
Brother Shengmin is my benefactor!
On Lin Ze's side, President Wang came over with a glass of wine.
"Shengmin, is everything going well in Tianjin?"
As soon as Lin Ze saw this old coward, he started to complain, "President! You don't know, Tianjin is like a den of wolves and dragons! Alas! I am also unlucky, it would be so nice to live comfortably in Peking! You have to arrange for me to go to Tianjin, President, if I can't stay in Tianjin anymore, I will come to you, and I will follow you if you arrange a position for me in the Administrative Committee!"
Wang Kemin cursed the little fox in his heart!
"Shengmin, look at what you said. Everyone knows that you are capable. Didn't you make it through even the most dangerous places? And now you have been promoted to a higher rank. You see, we all work for the Imperial Army. Who has this honor?"
"Honor is not enough to make a living! President, you don't know that I have no money and no connections in Tianjin. If I had half the money as your committee, I wouldn't be in such a difficult situation!"
President Wang is stuck, damn it!
I shouldn't have come over to say hello to you!
I am such a bitch!
Lin Ze ignored him and continued, "President, please don't be embarrassed. I don't mean to ask you for money. Yes, your Administrative Committee has money, but one thing is one thing. You can't spend your money on us. Although this Assistance Bureau is still in Beiping, and although the brothers in the Assistance Bureau have made a lot of efforts to maintain public order, that is what they should do..."
"Shengmin! Don't say anything. Fifty thousand dollars, fifty thousand dollars. Consider it as an allowance for the brothers in the Assistance Bureau. I'll have someone send the promissory note to the bureau tomorrow."
Lin Ze stretched out his hand, made a five with the right hand, and then made a five with the wrong hand. "Oh, although my food and clothing expenses are high, fifty thousand can last for half a month..."
"One hundred thousand! One hundred thousand, the people, that's it!"
Lin Ze sneered, you old coffin man, I'm going to eat you!
When Lin Ze was a lieutenant, he made the administrative committee tremble in fear. Now that he is a major, it is easy for him to blackmail you, an old man!
This protection fee will be paid monthly and yearly in the future. The time has come to kill President Wang and replace him with someone else to continue the payment!
After saying hello and paying 100,000 yuan, President Wang didn't dare to stay any longer. He said he was not feeling well and left.
Gao Shengping also saw it and raised his glass and shouted: "Where are you going, Lao Wang? Have two more drinks!"
President Wang is so angry!
Damn it, when one person is in power, everyone around him gets promoted. How dare a tall fat guy like you call me Lao Wang!
He forced a smile and said, "I'm old, not as good as you guys. You guys continue drinking. I'll go back and have a couple of cigarettes and take a rest."
When everyone saw that Gao Shengping actually called President Wang "Old Wang", they were immediately filled with admiration for him.
In the corner, Jiao Zhenguo was drinking silently, with a lot on his mind.
Mr. Lin has been promoted to major, he can't be promoted any further!
If I continue like this, I'll be targeted too easily. What if one day the higher-ups issue an order to eradicate traitors, and the target is Mr. Lin? Should I do it or not?
Lao Jiao took another sip of his wine, his eyes full of sorrow.
