Zhang Shizhao, once one of the five representatives of the Kuomintang-Republic Affairs Talks, was sent to Peking by Acting President Li Zongren to negotiate with Mao Zedong. Zhang Shizhao flew with the peace talks on the year, month and day. The negotiations were not clear. Later, the negotiations broke down and stayed in Peking for more than four months. He took Mao ZD's order to go to Hong Kong to persuade several wealthy gentry and businessmen to return to the mainland, and then came to Singapore by boat, hoping to do the work of Du Yuesheng and others.

"Mr. Zhang talked endlessly, praising Mao ZD for respecting the elderly and virtuous, and thirsty for talent. I asked him, did he want to settle down in Peking or to change his career or do business?" Du Yuesheng frowned when he saw Wu Ming and continued, "He said that under the rule of GCD, there is no need for lawyers, and doing business, I am afraid that the communist system will not allow it. However, Mao ZD told him in person that he did not need to worry about his personal life in the mainland."

"Mr. Zhang is very old and has a high interest in becoming an official! As long as he is an official, he can go with anyone, but he voted for GCD, but only said that he was to ensure his life. Since it is just for life, here, Taiwan, Hong Kong, the United States...any place is much more comfortable than the life on GCD." Du Yuesheng said with a little disdain.

"It's really unreasonable. It's too unkind to do things like this. GCD has been poaching here." Huang Yushuang said angrily: "Dehua, hurry up and ask someone to arrest the Zhang surnamed, don't let him disturb Mr. Du's tranquility."

Wu Ming shook his head gently and said to Du Yuesheng: "Zhang Shizhao is Mr. Du's friend. If we arrest him, wouldn't Mr. Du become an unrighteous person who betrays his friend? In my opinion, Zhang Shizhao's own decision. GCD should only send him to Hong Kong. But he was eager to make contributions, so he focused on Mr. Du, a heavyweight. As long as Mr. Du's direction changes, there will definitely be many people who follow him."

"You are right." Du Yuesheng nodded in agreement, "I tell you this because he often comes to the door. I don't know when this united front offensive will be over. You just send him gifts out of the country. Never let me bear the name of injustice."

"I understand." Wu Ming pondered for a while and nodded. "I will handle this matter well, not only will Mr. Du's reputation be damaged, but also will make Mr. Zhang retreat."

"I, Du Yuesheng, never do anything bad in my life. My direction has already been determined and I will never leave GCD." Du Yuesheng raised his voice and said, "This is my intention. In any case, I still know that it is fragrant and smelly. I, Du Yuesheng, have to do everything in my life. How can such a big thing make an exception? In short, I, Du Yuesheng, will never look back no matter what.

In the temporary residence where Wu Ming stayed, Zhang Shizhao was invited over politely.

"Why didn't Mr. Zhang say hello when he comes here?" Wu Ming stretched out his hand to signal Zhang Shizhao to sit down, and said lightly: "I wonder what Mr. Zhang's purpose is to visit relatives on behalf of the Chinese Communist Party government or on his own?"

"I'll come to visit a few old friends and persuade them to return to the mainland by the way." Zhang Shizhao was a bachelor and told him bluntly, "Mr. President, you sent a plane and a ship to take advantage of the chaos in the mainland to pick up a large number of financial, industrial and commercial giants and ordinary people. I'm afraid this is a suspect of taking advantage of others' danger, right?"

"I sent planes and ships, but they were all voluntary." Wu Ming smiled softly and said, "They live and work well here now, and most of them are Malayan nationality. Isn't it too kind to persuade them to leave?"

Zhang Shizhao retorted tit-for-tat: "Mr. President, I just persuaded them, and didn't force them. Is it a place where Malaya is allowed to enter and not leave?"

"You have to be strong yourself." Wu Ming pursed his lips and said slowly: "It is easy to let them go back. What the evacuated financial and industrial giants from the mainland only bring in a small amount of funds, and most of the assets are still in the mainland. If the mainland has a good industrial and commercial policy and a relaxed development environment, you don't have to slap your mouth. They will also go back. But if you only bring Mr. Mao Z's words, it may not work. Moreover, our attitude towards these financial and industrial giants is to welcome them when they come and leave. If the mainland does do a good job and they voluntarily leave, we will never stop them."

"But you can't bewitching people's hearts by talking nonsense here." Wu Ming said seriously: "Mr. Du and others are also friends. I know their style of being righteous. Even if I have made up my mind, I don't want to speak ill of you. Mr. Zhang is a smart person. It would be a bit of a loss of identity to do such a slap in a desperate situation, right?"

Zhang Shizhao pondered for a moment and said, "Since that's the case, I will go back tomorrow. However, Mr. President, please remember what I said today and come and go freely. Don't regret it at that time."

"Of course I won't go back on my word." Wu Ming waved his hand gently, pointed to the table and said, "These are laws and regulations issued by the Malayan government, and some measures to encourage industry and commerce. Even if it is a gift to Mr. Zhang to come to Malaya! Mr. Zhang would also like to give a few words to the leaders of the Communist Party of China: First, plant a good sycamore tree, and the phoenix will come naturally; second, shouting slogans and engaging in movements, you cannot build a good country. Communism is not poverty. Only when the people live a good life can it prove its superiority; third, leader politics cannot be guaranteed. People are not gods, and they will inevitably make mistakes. A person's mistakes will cause the entire country and the entire nation to be damaged, and the cost is too high; fourth, ideological differences do not affect learning from strengths and weaknesses, and whether there is or not. There is a reason for capitalism to exist. Communism has just emerged after all, and there is still a gap between beautiful imagination and reality. It is probably not realistic to achieve it overnight."

"Thank you for your kindness, Mr. President." Zhang Shizhao stood up and said coldly: "I will pass these words on to the leaders of the Communist Party of China. I also hope that Mr. President remembers that he is a Chinese and has the same roots as the people of the mainland. Never do things that make friends feel sorry for their enemies."
