Chapter 137 The Arrogant Female Agent
After the neighbors left, Wen was just about to sit down when he heard Zuo Shuangtao's command: "I'm thirsty, go get me a glass of water."
Wencai was stunned.
This is called a secretary, it’s better to just call her aunt.
I haven't asked you to pour water yet.
As if seeing the displeasure on Wencai's face, Zuo Shuangtao said coldly: "To be honest, I am a special envoy sent by Jinling. On the surface, I am your secretary, but in fact I am your superior. From now on, you must listen to my instructions and cooperate with me to complete the tasks above, otherwise you will suffer the consequences."
As Zuo Shuangtao spoke, he took out a small palm-sized grenade pistol and pointed it at Wencai.
You can't blame her. Wencai's file is not something a trainee female spy like her can read.
Originally, she was sent here to be brought to Wencai by Old Wu, and then handed over to Wencai.
Another point is that when these girls joined the secret service school, the instructors brainwashed them.
Let them all think of themselves as the elite of the Military Intelligence Bureau and super agents serving the country.
They are actually just some toys!
When Wencai saw Zuo Shuangtao being so arrogant, he didn't get angry but laughed instead.
Quite unique!
If he were a man, he would probably have been killed for being so arrogant.
If she were a goddess, she would be asking for trouble.
Anyway, there is nothing to do now, so Wencai wants to tease Zuo Shuangtao to make her happy.
In an instant, a fawning expression appeared on his face.
"Chief Zuo, wait a moment, I'll go get some tea."
Then he walked out the door, and when he came back he was holding two glass bottles of Coca-Cola and handed one bottle of Coke to Zuo Shuangtao.
Coca-Cola came to Shanghai in 1927, and in 1936 it was still a luxury item, costing one dollar a bottle.
Most people simply can't bear to drink it.
You have to know that in the past, Adjutant Li only earned a few cents by pulling a rickshaw for a day. Adjutant Li would have to drive for two days without eating or drinking to earn this bottle of Coca-Cola.
Zuo Shuangtao, a little spy, had never drunk this before, so he asked curiously, "What kind of potion is this?"
"Drink it. The foreigners' sweet tea is very delicious."
Wencai flicked the iron lid of the Coke glass with his thumb and poured the cold Coke into his mouth.
These colas are all ice-cold colas. There is no passage of time in the storage space. No matter how much time has passed, it looks the same as if they were just put there.
That’s why Wencai put a lot of iced cola in the refrigerator.
As for refrigerators, they were not a rare item for wealthy people in Shanghai during the Republic of China period.
There is no need to import them even, Shanghai Huatong Electric Machinery Factory can produce refrigerators.
Refrigerators in the Republic of China were not made of plastic or metal like later generations, but were made of wood, like a square wooden cabinet.
Zuo Shuangtao tried to follow suit but couldn't open the iron lid.
Using your thumb to pop open the sealed iron cap of a glass bottle is a skill that not everyone can do.
Generally, you need to use a bottle opener when drinking soda or beer.
Wencai deliberately flattered him and said, "Sir, let me help you open it!"
Then he flicked the iron cover with his thumb and it bounced up into the sky but didn't fall down.
Zuo Shuangtao took a look and found that the iron cover was embedded in the solid wooden ceiling.
The power of the Nine Yin Claw is no joke!
Zuo Shuangtao stared at the iron cover on the ceiling in shock for a moment, and didn't seem to think much about it. He didn't even show the slightest shock, which made the writing look quite dull.
"It's delicious, and it's cold. It tastes so good right away."
Something as sweet as Coke had a fatal appeal to most people in the Republic of China.
Moreover, the Coke of the Republic of China is not a simplified version of Coke in later generations. It is a good thing mixed with real ingredients.
The two drank a bottle of ice cola.
Zuo Shuangtao also began to like Wencai a little more.
"You're a pretty good person. When I complete my mission and return to Jinling, I'll find you a really good job. Maybe you can become a private first class, which is better than being a fake director here."
The two of them became more familiar with each other, and Zuo Shuangtao probably thought that since his superiors would soon assign him a task, he would definitely need a local to be his assistant.
This guy looks unsophisticated, but sometimes when an agent is carrying out an assassination, the more unsophisticated and inconspicuous he looks, the more likely the assassination will be successful.
"Maybe this old man can be of some use later on!"
Zuo Shuangtao thought to herself.
After drinking the soda, Liang Runsheng also came back.
"Boss, what is this Demon Suppression Bureau for? Do we need to learn how to catch ghosts and demons?"
Liang Runsheng asked.
The Demon Suppression Bureau has no job content. It is a sinecure and a special department for leaders' wives to knit sweaters.
Wencai thought about it and felt that he should write something.
For example, the job responsibilities, guidelines, systems, work plans, etc. of the Demon Suppression Bureau.
He walked to the largest table and was about to sit down when Zuo Shuangtao suddenly shouted, "Why are you being disrespectful? I'll sit in this well-ventilated seat from now on. Lao Xu, sit over there."
The Demon Suppression Bureau did not have an independent director's office. This desk was independent and next to the window, and the location was well ventilated, so it was obviously the director's seat. Zuo Shuangtao pointed to the corner by the wall, and it was obvious that it was the cow and horse seat.
Before Wencai could say anything, Liang Runsheng got angry and shouted, "You little girl, you have no respect for your age. You don't know whether your hair has fully grown or not, but you don't know how high the sky is or how deep the earth is. You want to sit down? Wait until the boss is seated, then you can sit in his arms."
Liang Runsheng spoke with the tone of a gangster, vulgar and harsh, and without using a single dirty word, it made people feel extremely insulted physically and mentally.
"You're looking for death. If you talk to me like this again, I'll shoot you in the head."
Zuo Shuangtao was irritated by Liang Runsheng's dirty words. He touched the amazingly long white legs, pulled out a small black palm-fired grenade pistol and pointed it at Liang Runsheng.
Liang Run was afraid of guns. He looked at Wencai pitifully and asked his master to stand up for him.
Wencai smiled and said, "Runsheng, don't be rude next time. This is a special envoy sent by the higher-ups, Commander Zuo. You will listen to me in public from now on, but Commander Zuo is actually in charge of this place. Hurry up and apologize to Commander Zuo!"
Liang Runsheng was very clever. He knew that Wencai was going to tease Zuo Shuangtao, so he played along and said, "I am blind and don't recognize a great man. Commander Zuo, from now on in Shanghai, I, Liang Runsheng, will be your pawn."
Zuo Shuangtao blew a breath into the muzzle of the gun and then put the gun back on his long legs, with a look of satisfaction on his face as if he had killed someone.
She was extremely proud in her heart. She had recruited two subordinates right after arriving in Shanghai. It would be easy for her to wait for tasks assigned by her superiors in the future.
Wencai didn't want to write any work plan anymore, as the leader took care of everything.
"Commander Zuo, you are new in Shanghai, and I would like to welcome you. I wonder if I have the honor to do so."
"Okay, I'll give you this face."
It was noon and time for lunch. There was an internal canteen in the National Government Building and the food was pretty good.
Pay one cent and eat as much as you want. The dishes include spare ribs, braised fish, beef, mutton, and dozens of different kinds of meat and seasonal vegetables.
Many officials of the Republic of China ate and took things, and even packed up the food to take home after they were full.
Grassroots officers can support two wives and seven or eight children just by relying on the canteen.
When it was time for dinner, the entire bureau on the fourth floor rushed into the cafeteria like crazy.
Gao Jin, Ma Baoguo and others rushed to the elevator holding large white porcelain basins.
The people in the fourth floor offices all have idle jobs, and the most important thing for them in the day is to eat and go home.
Departments like the Transportation Bureau, Communications Bureau, Electricity Bureau, Tobacco Bureau, etc., which are really lucrative, will not eat in the cafeteria no matter how good the food is.
Their offices all have their own kitchens, and they have opened special restaurants nearby and hired great chefs to cook.
The real powerful people in the Republic of China would never go to the International Hotel every day to eat and drink at public expense as ordinary people think.
They have their own private chef for food and drink.
They seldom eat steak, beef or fish. They only eat game or rare foods.
Such as honey-pickled pangolin, red-bellied chicken stewed with ginseng, etc.
Wencai naturally didn’t have a private chef, so he could only take Zuo Shuangtao and Liang Runsheng out to eat.
