Chapter 295

Su Chunjun and Secretary Zhao toasted from table to table, from the hall to the small hall outside. At each table, everyone stood up, raised their glasses, drank together, and praised each other.

Secretary Zhao is a guest, carrying a glass of wine from the beginning to the end.

Su Chunjun is the main character, today is the time for him to appear, naturally can not be reserved, so from the beginning to the end of the drink, if not Secretary Zhao pained him, toast to the small hall will not allow him to drink, I’m afraid that he will have to crawl back.

Ms. Zhu accompanied Mr. Jiang for a long time, during which time she also received a few people.

In addition to Mrs. Shao, there are also some people who are not easy for Jiang to refuse.

For example, foreigners.

This time, on the grounds of the New Year’s banquet, Mr. Jiang had invited all the foreigners in the city.

Ms. Zhu didn’t see them when she came in just now, but now she has seen them all.

A moment a Frenchman, a moment another Englishman, followed by an American, and then the Russians, Spaniards, Portuguese, and so on.

And, of course, the Japanese.

Those who are still in the city are all people who want money and don’t want to die.

Even the French ambassador has fled, and the ambassadors of the countries that used to be in the city have all disappeared.

The people standing in front of Mr. Chiang and whispering to him are all bankers.

All from the bank.

Rare, isn’t it?

What’s even rarer is in the back.

Three of these bankers have the same last name.

Rothschild.

These three bankers representing different countries are all Rothschilds.

There’s something even rarer.

They came to see Mr. Chiang to sell.

To sell what?

Loans.

They came to ask Mr. Chiang if he wanted a loan.

They were all very enthusiastic, very considerate of the city, very considerate of Mr. Chiang, and they all thought that Mr. Chiang must be very short of money, and the government obviously has no money, so they could borrow money from their bank, and they were all very happy to help the government.

They were all very happy to help the government. Mr. Chiang said thank you, no, no, no, thank you.

He will be leaving soon. You can talk to his successor about this kind of thing.

Mr. Chiang also pointed to Su Chunjun and Secretary Zhao who were making a toast, implying that the future master of the city was there, so don’t come knocking on his door, and go bang on that clock.

As a result, the bank’s people were very understanding and said, “It’s okay, it’s the same to talk to you, we are willing to make new friends, but we value old friends more.

With Ms. Zhu Er’s experience in running charitable foundations, these bank taipans are hinting ……

–They can grant the loan to VIP Jiang, as long as VIP Jiang is willing to sign a loan contract with them, the benefits are greatly there.

Yes, she witnessed the bribe giving.

She had thought that VIP Jiang would happily accept it.

For these people, accepting money is a normal operation ah. Of course, after signing the contract, it is not known whether the money will arrive or not. After taking the kickbacks and walking away, VIP Jiang will definitely not care about the affairs here anymore, so this unjustified arrears will be Su Chunjun’s pot.

Maybe these foreigners are defaulting to the idea that Chinese women don’t know any foreign languages, and even if they do, it’s unlikely that they know several of them.

There are really not many people who know foreign languages at this banquet, not to mention women, not many men know foreign languages.

That’s why they just said it so graciously in front of her.

Zhu Er Miss held a smile on her face, listening and taking notes, intending to tell her family when she returned.

However, Essential Jiang surprisingly refused.

He said, “No need, no need, thank you for your kind words.”

When he sent everyone away and touched his teacup to hint at his thirst, Miss Zhu Erzhi beckoned the waiter over to serve the tea.

Essential Jiang drank half a cup of tea, turned his head and asked her with a smile, “I heard that Yan Yan is a high achiever, her studies are very good, how much of those foreign words just now can you understand?” Yo, this is knowing that she knows foreign languages.

Zhu Yuyan said softly, “I can only understand English.”

Chiang wants officer: “Not also learned French and Russian?”

Where did you get that information?

Zhu Er Miss was slightly surprised in her heart, Mr. Su was only a junior to Mayor Feng before this, she was only Mr. Su’s fiancée, was even her intelligence so detailed?

Zhu Yuyan modestly said: ”French and Russian have not been studied seriously, I can only memorize a few poems. The French and Russians just now had too heavy accents, many words, and spoke so fast that they couldn’t understand.”

Although Zhu Yuyan said that she did not understand, she had already told VIP Jiang to be secretly surprised in his heart.

After he had previously asked the Intelligence Department to carefully scout all of Su Chunjun’s intelligence, he had gotten information about Zhu Yuyan, and among her deeds, there were three things that most concerned Essential Chiang.

The first was her intelligence. She was not yet twenty years old, and she was already good at two foreign languages, English and Japanese, and had also learned French and Russian, so she was obviously a linguistic genius.

Secondly, the diplomatic flair she displayed in her dealings with the Japanese was also surprising.

Third, there is her talent for organization. Whether it was the Autumn Festival in Japan or a charitable foundation, it proved her ability.

The party-state was sorely lacking in talent.

If five percent of the reason he saw Su Chunjun as capable of taking on this important role was because of Su Chunjun’s wisdom and resourcefulness in the bureaucracy, the other five percent was because of Zhu Yuyan.

In politics, the power of women should not be underestimated.

Jiang is very optimistic about this young couple. Without any hesitation, he thought that if Su Chunjun and Zhu Yuyan could both serve the Party and the country single-mindedly, it would be a blessing for the Party and the country.

This time when he came here, the biggest gain was the two of them, and when he returned he would definitely report truthfully to the principal.

At the same time, he also wanted to test them more.

He said, “The Japanese have not yet come. The Japanese are a very proud and petty people, and they have now gained the greatest power in this city, so they won’t willingly run to talk to me like those people just now. In a moment, when Xiao Su comes back, you can go with Xiao Su to invite the Japanese over, and you might as well think about what you’re going to say when you see them.”

After he finished speaking, he saw Zhu Yuyan think for a moment and asked, “Dare I ask the VIP, what do we need the Japanese to do?”

Good question.

VIP Jiang gave the question three points and said with a smile, “What do you think is the most lacking in the city right now?”

That, of course, was supplies.

Zhu Yuyan whispered, “It’s impossible for the Japanese to open up supplies. They opened up the channels last time by using the Good Citizen Certificate, and this time, they should make other demands.”

So, what are the areas where our side can make concessions?

That was the key to talking to the Japanese in terms of being able to do so.

But after she finished that sentence, Essential Chiang just smiled at her, but refused to say any more.

Balls to the wall, you let me ask, but refused to give me the bottom.

Zhu Yuyan smiled as she mentally greeted VIP Jiang’s ancestors.

From her experience when she was working at the charity foundation, this smile without saying anything by VIP Jiang had a deep meaning.

The average person might think that a boss smiling at you without saying anything is a heavenly favor to be given to you.

Wrong.

Just the opposite.

Essential Chiang’s meaning was: nothing.

That is, he wanted the Japanese to expand their supplies in the cities, and probably dreamed of precious supplies of medicines and whatnot, and he knew full well that the Japanese supplied supplies on conditions.

But he wasn’t going to agree to any of them.

It was not for any righteous reasons like national hatred, the righteousness of the world, or for the sake of the country and the people.

The most probable reason was that Mr. Chiang really had no intention of agreeing to any of the Japanese conditions.

For it was impossible for Mr. Chiang and the representatives behind him to leave any evidence of submission to the Japanese.

Neither resistance nor surrender.

Not to resist was a lack of ability. Not to surrender is unwillingness to lose face.

Not willing to lose their own face.

So, the only way to offer is to stall.

That is, to do nothing, to sit back and watch things get worse.

It didn’t matter how bad things got, because when it really came to the time when someone needed to take responsibility, they would just find someone to push the pot.

In fact, Ms. Su and Prof. Dai once had a discussion on this issue.

At that time, she and her mother, as well as her sister and Shi Wuwei were all listening in, and even Zhang Ma came out of the kitchen and couldn’t help but want to listen in together.

It was like the government had completely given up resistance.

It was incredible. But as the situation gradually got worse and worse, with the Japanese expanding their power day by day, foreigners fleeing in droves, and the people on the streets could see it, it was as if the government wasn’t going to do anything.

In the end, even the people stopped hoping that the government would resist the Japanese, and the people began to hope that the other foreigners in the city would resist the Japanese.

The people said that the foreigners were still there and the Japanese dared not let their troops into the city.

Then the foreigners ran away too, and the people panicked.

Why was all this?

Zhang Ma wiped her eyes and asked, “Aren’t they making good money here? They are also powerful, so why don’t they want them anymore?”

The people thought that this city was beautiful and precious, the Pearl of the Orient, one of the most fashionable cities in this world, and that it was filled with lights and countless amounts of money, so it should be the safest place to live.

Everyone loves money. Foreigners invaded China also for money, they would never attack this place, it is the safest.

Who wouldn’t love money?

Prof. Dai and Mr. Su said it was precisely because everyone loves money that there was no resistance.

Prof. Die: “Because resistance is too costly.”

Don’t those armies stationed here want money? In order for the army to fight to the death, weapons must be available, food must be available, medicine must not be lacking, and all kinds of supplies must be supplied in sufficient quantities for people to be willing to sell their lives.

The adults above did the math and realized that it would be astronomical if they resisted, while if they did not, they would only lose a city.

Most importantly, their own wallets would not lose a penny.

Lives could also be saved.

So, it became what it is now.

Mayor Feng and the others were the ones who ran slowly, and the ones who ran early were no longer here.

Those people were now standing in the distance, watching the city slowly fall, how could they still be willing to contribute to a city that was about to fall?

So, Chiang wanted to give nothing to the Japanese.

And the supplies that the Japanese handed over, only he wanted to take some of them away.

I’ve seen people at the Miss Zhu Er Foundation who took a white slip for a donation, asked her to produce proof that the donation had been received, and then gave her a kickback – but not the donation.

Worse still, after giving her a receipt, she did not even give her a rebate, and then asked her to certify that she had received a certain number of donations.

There were even those who wanted to check the accounts and keep all the money of the foundation.

Suggesting that she should automatically make a confession.

And so on.

If she hadn’t pulled the flag of Ms. Su, the foundation would have become someone else’s money bag.

She had seen many ugly faces in front of money, and she was well adapted to this routine of Mr. Jiang.

So, after Mr. Su’s cheeks with wine dizziness came back, she got up with a smile, helped Mr. Su and said, “Look at you, you’re drunk, I’ll go with you to sober up.”

Said, will Su teacher hostage away.
