Chapter 432.

“Chief, there’s a person claiming to be the president of the ‘Xingya News Agency’ who wants to see you.” Not long after going to work, Lu Le knocked on the door and came in to give a report.

Xingya News Agency? Cheng Mo instantly realized that this was the external propaganda department of the Xingya nation-building movement, subordinate to the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which was one of the agencies of the Iwai organ.

This president should be that senior.

He and this senior met a few times, but the friendship is shallow, and there is nothing too deep communication, and now, he half a foot on the boat of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the future is certainly less to deal with.

Xingya built the country this series of theoretical articles are this senior hand concocted, the Japanese sent him to see himself, is it counseling himself to write articles? This was really giving face.

“This is a senior of mine, go ask him to come to my office.” Cheng Mo commanded and said.

Lu Le promised.

A few moments later, Lv Le brought a man in his early thirties in, and Cheng Mo naturally recognized him at once as his senior, Yuan Xueyi, who he had briefly crossed paths with.

“Senior, long time no see.” The two shook hands, Cheng Mo greeted warmly, “Tea or coffee?”

“Coffee, I’m used to drinking it.”

“Good.”

Lu Le was about to go brew coffee for the two of them when he was instructed by Cheng Mo to go out and make it himself.

“I apologize for taking the liberty of coming to the door, senior brother.” Yuan Xueyi said.

“Senior brother where are you talking, you are not only my senior, but also my senior brother, we are very close in this relationship.” Cheng Mo laughed and said.

“Yes, we are both disciples of Elder Cao, I entered the door earlier than you, I am your senior brother.” Yuan Xueyi also smiled.

“Elder brother studied political economy in university?”

“Yes. How about senior brother?”

“I studied International Relations, but so many courses between the two cross over, we should have a lot in common.”

“Yeah.” Cheng Mo brought a cup of coffee to Yuan Xueyi, “Senior brother, please.”

“Smells good, senior brother’s coffee making skills are really good, senior brother can only drink it, he can’t cook it.” Yuan Xueyi gave a big praise.

“Does senior brother want to add sugar?” Cheng Mo pushed the saucer containing the put sugar over.

“Uh, thanks a lot.” Yuan Xueyi took a piece of sugar and added it in, and probably felt that it wasn’t enough, so he added another piece.

“Senior brother doesn’t add sugar?”

“I don’t like adding sugar when I drink coffee.” Cheng Mo gave a slight shake of his head, “I like that original flavor.”

Yuan Xueyi nodded, people have their own favorites, it’s too normal, even between couples there are differences in taste.

“Senior brother, senior brother came here today, he has written something and wants to ask senior brother to correct it.” Yuan Xueyi put down his cup and slowly spoke.

“Senior brother’s masterpiece, I will definitely read it carefully.” Cheng Mo also put down the coffee in his hand and gave a solemn response.

Yuan Xueyi took out a thin pamphlet from the briefcase he was carrying, held his hands flat and handed it over.

Cheng Mo also stretched out his hands to receive it.

It was actually a handwritten version of the Xingya Nation Building Essay.

“How long has senior brother been writing this essay?” Cheng Mo took it and didn’t immediately flip through it, but asked.

“It’s already been published, right here in the New Declaration, as well as reprinted in many newspapers in Shanghai.” Yuan Xueyi said, “This is a collection of previously published articles that I made into a collection and revised a bit more.”

“Elder brother, I’m a small detective in the rented world, I can’t get involved in such a big event, are you looking for the wrong person.” Cheng Mo said without moving.

“Hey, senior brother is a detective, what about the future, this once the concession is recovered, where should senior brother go?” Yuan Xueyi said, “Senior brother is preparing to build the Xingya National Construction Movement Committee, and sincerely invite senior brother to join.”

“I’m afraid it’s inappropriate in my capacity, right?”

“Senior brother has also considered senior brother’s identity and concerns, so he can give senior brother the identity of an advisor.” Yuan Xueyi said.

“Advisor ……” “Senior brother can not use his real name, pseudonym is also possible.”

This Yuan Xueyi was obviously authorized from above before he came over to find Cheng Mo, otherwise, they didn’t have too many encounters, so how could he venture over to visit a less familiar senior brother? “Senior brother, can I think about it?”

“Of course, of course, after senior brother reads it, can I correct senior brother, senior brother’s talent that’s above mine.”

“Senior brother is flattering, my skills are not as good as senior brother’s by a long shot, I will have to rely on senior brother more in the future.” Cheng Mo hurriedly said.

“Right, it’s the end of the year, our classmates who used to stay in Japan are planning to organize a small-scale gathering, and I would like to invite senior brother to attend together.”

“Who are all the people?”

“Some senior brothers have met last year, some are probably not, all are Chinese.” Yuan Xueyi gave an explanation.

“Good.” Cheng Mo nodded, such a gathering, he was not too good to refuse, besides, he also needed these contacts, even if there were traitors working for the Japanese in there, at this time he also needed to make false pretenses.

“Then I will take my leave first!” Having finished what he needed to do, Yuan Xueyi didn’t intend to stay much longer and directly got up to say goodbye.

“I’ll see senior brother off.”

“Chief, is this Yuan working for the Japanese?” After sending Yuan Xueyi away, Lu Le followed Cheng Mo in and asked.

“Yes.”

“Will you be …… interacting with him?”

“He was my senior in college, and we studied under Master Cao together, so I can’t refuse to see him, right?”

“But, he’s a traitor now.”

“Lu Le, if I work for the Japanese one day as well, what would you think?” Cheng Mo asked after a slight pause.

“How could the chief work for the Japanese?” Lu Le had a look of disbelief on his face.

“People sometimes, have to bow down to reality, Ah Le, you won’t understand if you’re not in my position.” Cheng Mo did not reply and sighed, “Alright, you go out and do your business.”

“Yes, chief.”

He knew very well that once he turned to Japan, many of these people under his hands would not understand, and he couldn’t explain it, this team would probably be centrifuged.

Of course, there was nothing to be done about not understanding, he had more important things to do, and he couldn’t let that stop him.

Not understanding now didn’t mean that he wouldn’t understand later, never.

But it was just a momentary misunderstanding.

For this matter, he had a long talk with Tony Kai Ziwei for an afternoon, and finally Tony Kai Ziwei was convinced by him.

Agreed that he was in a position to ostensibly collude with the Japanese, and at some point, use him to shelter some people.

Tony Kai Ziwei at first felt unnecessary, but after a process of silent analysis, he changed his mind.

Japan and Germany is a military alliance, once Germany is going to conquer and unify Europe, it is bound to have a war with Britain and France.

And military alliance is not talk, once Germany declared war on Britain and France, then Japan also need to declare war on Britain and France.

And Japan has always wanted to occupy the Concession, so the opportunity, they will not let go, and, judging from the European war situation, the outbreak of the war will not be too far away, and even close at hand.

Then once the Japanese army occupied the Concession, what about the British expatriates in the Concession and those of them with special status? They needed someone who could protect them.

Cheng Mo was undoubtedly the very right person.

In Chinese terms, they also needed to save for a rainy day.
