Three days later, in a hidden teahouse in Zhangzhou, Lu Qianqian was led into a luxurious private room. Zhang Zhongmin hurriedly stood up to greet him, shook hands with Lu Qianqian tightly, and then sat down separately. Zhang Zhongmin personally served Lu Qianqian.

Pour the tea.

Zhang Zhongmin looked at Lu Qianqian's frightened look and said hurriedly: Brother Qianqian, you made it so difficult for me to find him!

Lu Qianqian also leaned over and smiled slightly and said: Yes, now that the country is facing a crisis, you all have important responsibilities and are running around. If you hadn't been appointed as Zhangzhou station chief, we don't know when we would have met?

Zhang Zhongmin also sighed and said: I have been away for a whole year, and I still can’t forget the brother who helped me in the crisis. If it weren’t for his help, how could I be where I am today?

Lu Qianqian smiled: You and I should help each other as friends, so you don't have to be polite. I'm summoned today. I wonder if the webmaster has any advice?

Zhang Zhongmin leaned forward and said, "How dare you, how dare you!"

Lu Qianqian then said: Although you and I are each our own masters, there is no gap. If you have anything to say, you might as well say it directly.

Zhang Zhongmin paused and said, "Since Brother Lu is so cheerful, I'll tell you the truth. I invited Brother Lu here today to deliver a message from Director Dai. He knew you were coming to Fujian and specially ordered me to invite Brother Lu to have a talk."

Lu Qianqian asked in surprise: Oh, Director Dai is very well-informed! What message does he want you to convey?

Zhang Zhongmin continued: In the past, we each had our own masters and fought against each other. Since last year, the Kuomintang and the Communist Party have cooperated for the second time and joined hands to fight against Japan again. Director Dai wants to be a friend with you!"

"Oh, really?" Lu Qianqian felt very sudden. He calmed down and asked, "I want to be friends with the famous Director Dai. But we are from a bad background and are afraid of bringing bad luck to Director Dai."

Zhang Zhongmin smiled and said, "Actually, you have misunderstood Director Dai. Senior agents like you are welcome by Director Dai regardless of their origins or background."

Lu Qianqian was even more surprised after hearing this.

"Director Dai really said that?" Lu Qianqian asked, staring at Zhang Zhongmin.

"Well, Director Dai said it himself on the phone!" Zhang Zhongmin answered truthfully.

After hearing this, Lu Qianqian picked up the tea cup, took a sip of tea, and said slowly: "After so many years of dealing with each other, I still can't see it. It's a pity! Within you, there have always been direct and collateral lines.

No, not to mention that I am an outsider! Your Director Dai is fickle and likes to kill and assassinate indiscriminately. I don’t like him very much, and I have never thought of seeking employment from him. However, you are a friend better than them all. I am very happy.

I’d like to make friends with you!”

Zhang Zhongmin smiled and said: "Thank you for your trust. We are friends!" He thought for a while and said: Director Dai told me personally that he really wants to make you a friend. You can put forward any conditions you have, Director Dai.

Say that your requirements will be met as much as possible.

After hearing this, Lu Qianqian asked in confusion: Oh, I wonder what kind of friend Director Dai wants to make with me? Ordinary friends or special friends?"

Zhang Zhongmin smiled and said: "Ordinary friends or special friends, Director Dai said this depends on you, it is up to you to decide."

Lu Qianqian said in surprise: "So Director Dai thinks highly of me. I heard that no one bargains with Director Dai."

Zhang Zhongmin went on to say: This mainly depends on the person. Director Dai said that as an ordinary friend, if you have something to do, you ask him; if he has something to do, he begs you. If he is a special friend, he can ask you immediately.

Take some of the responsibility.”

Lu Qianqian said with a smile: "The conditions offered by Director Dai are tempting enough. What if I don't want to be friends with him?"

Zhang Zhongmin continued: "Director Dai attaches great importance to you, but he does not trust you. His instructions are 'use them if they can be used, and kill them if they cannot be used'."

After Zhang Zhongmin threw the word "kill", he carefully observed the opponent's expression.

After hearing this, Lu Qianqian smiled lightly and said: You, Director Dai, are used to killing people. You kill anyone you don't like and you also kill those who have different political opinions. But we Communists are not afraid of being beheaded.

After hearing this, Zhang Zhongmin said calmly: I know you are not afraid of death, but this time it is an issue related to Brother Lu's future and destiny.

Lu Qianqian listened and said with a smile: I would like to thank Brother Zhong Min for his concern. You also know that our party is deeply supported and welcomed by people from all walks of life and has a broad mass base. Why don't Brother Zhong Min join our team?

Zhang Zhongmin smiled slightly and said: "Brother in front, please don't treat it as a joke. Director Dai is sincerely inviting you this time. After receiving Director Dai's call a few days ago, I also spent a lot of time thinking about this issue. Thinking about Brother Lu like this

Why didn't you join the Kuomintang? I thought about it for a few days, but it was just that you advocated resistance to Japan, and the government had not yet resisted Japan at that time. Maybe you were an idealistic person and thought that saving China's Three People's Principles was not enough, and that it must be communism.

In fact, China has not experienced capitalism, and the Three People's Principles are more practical. Director Dai said that Brother Lu published a "Zheng Zhong Matter" in "Ta Kung Pao", saying that you had never joined the Communist Party or left the Communist Party. In this way, Director Dai went to Chiang Kai-shek

The chairman of the committee can guarantee that you will immediately take on the responsibility of the department."

"Oh, Zheng Zhong is doing something!" Lu Qianqian said in surprise.

"Yes!" Zhang Zhongmin looked at him.

Lu Qianqian calmed down and said: "It is not difficult to post an announcement, but it will be criticized by thousands of people, despised by thousands of people, and will be infamy for thousands of years. Don't you realize that this is a very uneconomical thing? Don't you want your friend,

Will it leave a lasting infamy in history?"

Zhang Zhongmin interjected: "Of course I don't want to."

"Since that's the case, there's no need for me to start a protest!"

Lu Qianqian thought for a while and then continued: "You just talked about making friends. In fact, we Communists are the most loyal and it is best to make friends. No matter what party you are or who you are, as long as you are anti-Japanese and defending the land, we are willing to do it with them."

Friends, even those who have harmed and killed us in the past, in the face of the common enemy and in the face of national justice, we will ignore past grudges. Now that the Japanese invaders have invaded, large areas of the country have fallen, and the enemy is facing us, Chairman Chiang Kai-shek is not

Tell the world that "the land does not distinguish between north and south, and people, regardless of age, all have the responsibility to resist and defend the land." In the face of national justice, no matter what party or organization, what we should do now is to abandon the past grudges and consciously form a united front.

We must unite to fight external enemies, instead of being suspicious of each other and fighting internally, which will end up hurting our relatives and leaving our enemies unhappy, leaving behind a ruined historical infamy!

The logic behind Lu Qianqian's words made Zhang Zhongmin think deeply.

Lu Qianqian continued: Brother Zhang, please tell Director Dai that I, Lu, have accepted his kindness. Whether he and I can become friends does not depend on me, but on him. I also want to be friends with him and become special friends.

friends."

Zhang Zhongmin was silent for a moment, picked up the tea cup and said with admiration: "I will definitely convey your words to Director Dai, let us have a drink with tea instead of wine."

The two people raised their teacups and drank.

Lu Qianqian put down his tea cup and stood up and said: Brother Zhong Min, it's getting late, if there's nothing else, I'll take my leave first."

Zhang Zhongmin stood up, held Lu Qianqian's hand tightly and said, "Brother Qianqian, take care of yourself! I was deeply touched by what you said just now. Although we cannot be comrades, we can still support each other."

Lu Qianqian nodded and said: This is exactly what I expected. Thank you for your understanding and support. Brother Zhong Min, please take care of yourself!

The two waved goodbye at the door.

When Lu Qianqian walked out of the teahouse, there was already an underground party member dressed in plain clothes and pretending to be a rickshaw driver waiting there.

"Secretary Lu, you finally came out and made us all anxious!" said the person in charge of the underground party, wiping the sweat from his forehead.

"Well, I told you, nothing will happen."

"Secretary Lu, get in the car quickly."

The person in charge was protecting the front of the rickshaw, and other plainclothes officers were keeping a close eye on the surrounding security.
