Spy Wars: I can get rewards by being a bully!

Chapter 564: The director is really strong!

After listening to Niu Saner's report, Lin Ze ordered: "If there is no change, then just execute it. In addition, please send a message to Zheng Xiaji of the Police Department for me. I will invite him to dinner tonight. Let's set it at... Dengying Tower."

"Yes!"

Niu Saner went out to do something busy. Lin Ze leaned back in his chair and pressed the doorbell lazily.

Well, the new office has also been installed with an electric bell, and the only thing left is to move the big fish tank over.

I don’t know how those fat goldfishes have been eating during the days I was away from Peking.

Not long after, the secretary Song Yuzhen pushed the door open.

Tianjin was opened as a port relatively early, with many concessions, and Western-style clothing was very popular.

Song Yuzhen also changed her clothes. She wore a beige dress shirt with a bow on the collar, which looked formal yet playful. She wore a rose-colored suit with dark patterns and small half-high-heeled leather shoes.

She walked with her hands on her lower abdomen, her head held high and her chest held out, her posture graceful. She quickly came to Lin Ze and whispered, "Director, do you want me to give you a massage?"

Lin Ze nodded. He had just finished work, so what was wrong with relaxing?

Seeing Lin Ze nod, Song Yuzhen smiled, stood behind him, and put her hand on Lin Ze's shoulder.

Even though she often gave Lin Ze massages, Song Yuzhen couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

The director is really strong!

I don’t know what kind of perfume or powder Song Yuzhen used, but a faint scent of jasmine wafted through the air, making people feel relaxed and happy.

It's windy outside today and the temperature has dropped a lot.

But there was a fireplace in the small villa, and it was warm as spring.

Lin Ze reached back and felt something warm.

...................

"Director Lin posted a message to me?"

At the Jintang Bridge, at the Police Department, Zheng Xiaji was somewhat surprised after listening to the reports from his subordinates.

Since Lin Ze arrived in Tianjin, apart from meeting at the station, they have not had any private contact.

Zheng Xiaji had carefully studied how to get along with Lin Ze. Not only did he ask people about Lin Ze's style of doing things and his hobbies, he also made two phone calls to Gao Shengping. One was to exchange ideas with his colleagues in Peiping, and the other was to find out through Gao Shengping how to get along with Lin Ze.

After all, Lin Ze is a big shot in the front army. As a police chief and captain of a corps, Zheng Xiaji wants to make progress. He can either follow the path of the North China Administrative Committee, the path of the front army, or the path of the local forces in Tianjin.

However, the local forces in Tianjin respected Zheng Xiaji more than being close to him. Firstly, he was not a local, and secondly, the Tianjin Gendarmerie Command had originally intended to keep the Police Department and the Special Municipal Office clearly separate and did not want them to merge, resulting in mediocre relations between the two sides.

This would not have been a big deal in the past, but now the Tianjin Gendarmerie Headquarters has become an empty shell and the Liaison Department is leaderless, which has resulted in Zheng Xiaji suddenly losing his backing.

Compared with Osako Michimasa who had not yet taken office, Lin Ze was not only Chinese, but also a patrolman, which gave Zheng Xiaji a natural driving force to get closer to him.

However, these days, Lin Ze has been "making trouble" everywhere, which makes Zheng Xiaji a little hesitant.

What if Lin Ze becomes a hated man in Tianjin? If I get too close to him, wouldn’t I be in a passive position?

After hesitating for a long time, Zheng Xiaji decided to go to the banquet.

When someone invites you to dinner, you have to give them face. The worst that can happen is that you just don't express your opinion at first.

.............

That night, we went to Yinglou Restaurant.

This is the leading restaurant in Tianjin, and it opened right after the renovation.

First it was in Nanshi, and later a store was opened on the Blue Plate Tramway in the French Concession.

It is this store that has made Dengyinglou so glorious.

After the business became booming, he bought a house across the street and used it as a "classy restaurant".

That is to say, there are only private rooms, no individual seats. Ordinary customers are all old customers, and only the very distinguished ones can go to the "elegant seats", which are private and safe, almost the same as a club.

In front of the door is a golden plaque that reads "Dengyinglou Restaurant". It was written by Zhang Zhitan, the former Minister of the Interior who later resigned and lived in the concession.

There are four plaques on the pillars at the entrance, which read "Manchu-Han Banquet, Northern and Southern Dishes, Banquets, and Seasonal Snacks."

These four plaques are of great significance as they were written by the little emperor’s teacher, Chen Baochen.

The two floors of the elegant seat are filled with nanmu tables and chairs, the walls are covered with calligraphy and paintings by famous people, the antique shelves are filled with rare treasures, and the tableware is a set of porcelain that came from the palace. This kind of luxury is one of the best in Tianjin.

It was past six o'clock in the evening and it was already dark when Lin Ze's convoy arrived at Dengying Tower.

That's right, it's the team.

The two cars in front led the way, the two cars in the back brought up the rear, and in the middle was Director Lin's bulletproof car.

When they arrived at Dengying Tower, the shopkeeper opened the car door himself, but he was stopped by the guards. He could only smile awkwardly and stand by with his hands hanging down.

Lin Ze got out of the car, and Song Yuzhen followed closely behind. Today she had to play the role of Niu Saner and was responsible for handling various affairs.

"Shopkeeper Xiao Wang, I have to trouble you today."

The reason why he is called Shopkeeper Xiao Wang is because his father passed away last year and Shopkeeper Xiao Wang has just taken over the restaurant. However, this man has a quick eye and is thorough in his work, and is well-received by everyone.

When Shopkeeper Wang heard this, he was so excited that he trembled a little. He bent down 90 degrees and said, "Don't worry, Master Lin, we won't accept any guests in this small building today. If you have any instructions, just let me know."

Lin Ze nodded, shook his shoulders, and the cloak fell down. Song Yuzhen caught it accurately, put it on his arm, and followed him in.

Song Yuzhen looks quite like Bingbing, and Uncle Lin has also satisfied his addiction to being a belt bro.

When they arrived in the room, Zheng Xiaji arrived soon after.

Lin Ze was very polite and went downstairs to greet him personally.

But before he reached the door, Zheng Xiaji had already come in.

"Shengmin, hey, what are you doing down here?"

"Brother Zheng, I am very grateful for your presence. I should have gone to the door to meet you, but I was busy appreciating the treasures on the antique shelf just now. I came down late. Please forgive me, brother."

Zheng Xiaji laughed, "Shengmin, don't tell me, when I first came here, I felt almost like I was in the palace. Wow, it's so magnificent! I stared at it for a long time and almost didn't have time to eat!"

It is better to praise a person with words than to praise him/her by himself/herself. Praising a person is not about flattery, but about continuing the conversation.

Given their status, who would care about the so-called rare antiques?

They are just some stuff.

But what we talked about seemed to be real.

Lin Ze turned sideways and said, "Brother Zheng, please!"

The two of them went upstairs, sat down as host and guest, and then ordered the food to be served.

Coincidentally, Zheng Xiaji also brought a woman, who looked to be about 27 or 28 years old, wearing a police department uniform, to help with things.

It seems that Lao Zheng is also one of these people!

Dengyinglou is also a Shandong cuisine restaurant, but it is more luxurious and exquisite.

Shopkeeper Wang personally served the dishes, such as vinegar and pepper fish, duck tongue and radish soup, first-class official bird's nest, braised black sea cucumber, three white vegetables in fermented wine, braised mullet eggs, and crispy shredded duck rolls, and the prices kept rising.

After discussing it, the two decided not to use any expensive liquor, but instead ordered a bottle of Zhigu Kaoliang liquor.

After two glasses of wine, they stopped talking about business and talked about humanities, and they were having a great time.
