Chapter 2

The family downstairs had long since moved to the rented area, and the courtyard patio was just big enough to drive a motorcycle in.

Cheng Mo’s place of work was in the famous Four Row Warehouse, he had even visited it before and was quite familiar with the inside, and it was less than five hundred meters in a straight line from where he lived now.

Downstairs, through an alleyway of more than fifty meters, to XZ North Road.

The big battle was about to start.

The street that should have been lively and prosperous was now in a state of depression, all that could be seen were the sandbagged positions and barbed wire pulled up, and the stores were basically all closed.

In addition to the soldiers with loaded guns, almost no ordinary people can be seen, there are, but also lowered their heads and hurriedly walked.

Both sides are actively doing war preparations, all kinds of fortifications as well as anti-artillery bunkers have actually long started secret construction, some even a year in advance.

Counting the time, less than five days left from the outbreak of the war, in fact, sporadic conflicts have already begun before this, both sides of the sword, the air can smell the strong smell of gunpowder.

The weather is sweltering.

The weather forecast said there would be rain, but it was hard to say when this rain would come down.

Ten minutes of walking, Cheng Mo walked a sweaty, sure that this new body of his is not bad, young, not weak, there is still a lot of room for improvement.

The tram to Zhabei has long since stopped running, the original him to work can take the car.

The four lines of savings joint business office has long been closed to the public, all the business is gradually moved into the concession, it is said, will continue to move west.

Where to go in the end, the upper management will not tell a small person like him.

Go in through the side door.

To the savings hall, the eye is a mess, fallen chairs, scattered blank savings catalog, and did not take away the office supplies, as if the bandits ransacked general …….

The second floor came a quarrel, the sound is very big, listen to the voice, should be his business section of the chief Xu Jianmin and cashier Lao Dong.

Listen carefully, they quarrel is a sum of money in and out of the problem, the course director embezzlement misappropriation of public funds, was found by the old Dong this cashier, he wanted to take advantage of the chaos to wipe out this account, war together, some of them can not be said to be bad debts, who will go to check the ins and outs of these bad debts, the old Dong seems to be some shafts, but also for fear of the back to check out the burden of responsibility, insisted on writing the statement on the… …

Lao Dong is also one of the people who stayed behind this time, he is a cashier, the bank’s money is not his, he is not more than this.

Xu Jianmin rushed out of the office in a rage, Lao Dong dragged him from behind, and the two fought on the second floor.

Cheng Mo decided not to meddle in the matter, anyway, this has nothing to do with him, he is a custodian of the class, can not control people cashier class.

This place will not be long to be estimated by the military control, and will be used as a big war of the Chinese combat command center, as a stay behind, want to be safe, you have to stay here.

The Great War opened, this place was originally a warehouse, reinforced concrete, and built incomparably strong, has long been secretly hoarding a large number of supplies and food, and underground bunkers, is the safest place, he decided, first move home.

From this side across the Suzhou River, the opposite bank is the public concession, when he changed his mind, if he wanted to run, he could also leave at the first time.

He also did not dare to guarantee that he would not become the coward and coward that he hated.

One after another, people came over again, he was not the only one who was forced to stay behind, the four lines were arranged, after all, there were still quite a lot of collateralized goods in the warehouse that had not been transported, there was basically no way to transport these goods, if they were left here unguarded, it would not be reassuring.

“Cheng Mo, you have eaten yet, Ara today brought a scallion pancake, mom hand-made ……” Cheng Mo turned around and saw a small girl wearing glasses, not tall, with short hair, wearing a basket-colored checkered cheongsam, gentle and quiet, holding a piece of scallion pancake in her hand, searching for a memory, this little girl is named Cheng Mo. After a memory, this little girl called Zhang Lin, local people, home in Zhabei.

Zhang Lin is a financial school graduates, after graduation into the four banks in the Jincheng Bank as a savings officer.

Cheng Mo’s organizational relationship is in the Salt Industry Bank, although they do not belong to the same bank, but work in the same joint office.

He is Japan to study back, the starting point is naturally much higher, from the general manager of the secretariat down to the front-line department work, which is obviously as a training object.

Unfortunately, the current situation, even the best future also need to have a life to survive, not to mention that the people above themselves are first concerned about escaping, which still care about him?

The little girl looks pretty, is the character is more introverted, the original owner of the memory, this little girl to him is some good feeling.

But so active or the first time, Cheng Mo some small touched, after all, lived so many years, the first time a girl initiative.

Dead fat mansion is not the right to fall in love.

Unfortunately, at this time, which still have the heart to talk about love?

But people have some good intentions, can’t refuse it, not to mention that he is really hungry, this way over, did not see there are selling breakfast.

“Thanks.” Cheng Mo took the scallion pancake from Zhang Lin’s hand.

“Cheng Mo, I heard that you were chosen to stay behind?” Looking at Cheng Mo who was in the middle of wolfing down his food, the little girl asked with some depression.

“Well, how are you?”

“I’ll move to the French Concession with my mom and dad tomorrow, or you ……” Zhang Lin lowered her head, her voice like a mosquito said.

“Well, it’s good to leave, sooner or later this place will fall into a battlefield, it’s good to be able to leave.” Cheng Mo quickly finished a piece of scallion pancake, seems to be somewhat unfulfilled, Zhang Lin again handed over the piece in her hand.

“Aren’t you going to eat it?”

“I still have …… in my bag,” Zhang Lin hesitated and said sheepishly.

Cheng Mo hadn’t reached out to pick it up yet.

“Cheng Mo, the detention staff is having a meeting ……” Old Dong, who covered his face and crooked his mouth, shouted out, obviously he had suffered a loss in his encounter with the class president.

“Cheng Mo, will we see you again?” Zhang Lin gathered her courage and asked.

Cheng Mo didn’t turn around, he just reached up and waved his hand high and back, he didn’t know if he would survive, it was better not to give hope.

The little girl Zhang Lin’s tears fell indisputably.

The beautiful flower of love has not yet blossomed and has already withered.

Remaining staff is still quite a lot, Noda’s conference room location is still full, there are twenty to thirty people, responsible for presiding over the meeting is a manager of the Bank of Communications Zhabei branch, the face is somewhat unfamiliar, and for Cheng Mo, at a glance, there are not a few familiar faces.

He had only been here for a month or so, how many people could he recognize?

“Xiao Mo, this way.” Hearing someone call out to him, he followed the sound and looked over, a man in his thirties, wearing a white short-sleeved shirt and suit pants, his hair combed meticulously, a decent person at first glance.

The supervisor of the Salt Bank’s Custodial Division’s first warehouse, his top boss, Song Qingren.

As far as he knew, Song Qingren’s family had long ago made a way out for him, and it was impossible for him to be on the list of those who stayed behind, so why had he come over for the meeting as well?

“Supervisor Song.”

“Call Brother Song.” Song Qingren warmly pulled Cheng Mo to his side and sat down, then handed over a key from his hand, “Xiao Mo, this is the key of our first warehouse, now it’s given to you for safekeeping, there are quite a lot of good things in there, it’s all registered, so you can keep an eye on it, you can’t supervise and steal.”

“Big brother Song, such an important matter is given to me alone?” Cheng Mo wanted to curse, when I am stupid, how dangerous is it to stay?

“Big brother Song believes in you, amongst the younger people in the custodial class, your ability is unrivaled, this time to stay behind, the above is also precisely because of your guts and sense of responsibility, when the crisis passes, this position of brother is yours.” Song Qingren patted the back of Cheng Mo’s hand and assured him.

What a big pie, definitely bigger than what Zhang Lin had given himself.

Trying to get himself to stay and send himself to his death, on a promise that he didn’t know if he could fulfill, fooling the ghost?

“Brother Song, if it’s a critical situation, in order to save myself, can I have the right to use the items in the warehouse?” Cheng Mo looked up at Song Qingren and asked.

“Of course you can.”

“I want written authorization from above, can you give it?”

“This is afraid that it is not possible now, the above has already withdrawn from the Concession and Nanking, the written authorization you want, where can I get it for you?” Song Qingren was worried.

Cheng Mo did not say anything, although he knew that Song Qingren did not have good intentions, but at this time, people do not take for themselves, he harshly criticized the other party is not helpful.

After all, he can go, but took the initiative to stay, I really do not know the original body head in which the tendon wrong.

Maybe it is that kind of ideal of defiance.

Young.

Blood is still hot.
