Chapter 363

Zhao Shuli said cheerfully, “Okay, I’ll go back and get ready. Ah ah, how embarrassing, just me going alone.”

Su Chunjun also guessed that he was going to leave. However, the two of them have the friendship of working together, not to mention that Zhao Shuli has also helped him a lot, and has never taken a stand since he was left to help him. Now people want to go, naturally want to let people happy to go, later can also remember a favor.

Su Chunjun said: “Then tomorrow I will take you to see Mr. Zhang, and prepare a gift for you. You can’t forget me when you go back.”

“How can I forget?” Zhao Shuli kissed him on the shoulder, hugged him and said, “Brothers don’t say two words, I’ll wait for you to come back!”

The next day, Zhu Yuyan at the breakfast table heard about Zhao Shuli to go, said: “What have to do to order people to do, do not be polite.”

Zhao Shuli hurriedly stood up, “Thank you, ma’am.”

Su Chunjun took the congee and buns and said, “Sit down, sit down, sit down and eat, we still have things to do after eating. Are you also going out today?”

Zhu Yuyan: “Yes, I’m going to see Suzuki Yoshiko.”

The two couples ate breakfast and went to their own business.

Zhu Yuyan first wrote a letter to Suzuki Yoshiko and had a bouquet of flowers prepared and sent to Suzuki’s house immediately.

An hour later, she made another call to the Suzuki family.

As expected, Suzuki Yoshiko still didn’t come over to answer the phone, but said that she had already received her letter and thanked her very much for her kindness.

Zhu Yuyan: “I would like to visit Mrs. Suzuki today, I wonder if it’s convenient?”

There was a pause of half an hour before she got back to her, saying “yes”.

Since it was convenient, Zhu Yuyan was ready to stand in front of the Suzuki family’s front door at three o’clock in the afternoon.

Suzuki Yoshiko had disappeared since the last time she had been screwed over. Zhu Yuyan suspected that she had gotten “sick” and might die of it. Naturally, she had some sympathy for Suzuki Yoshiko – but that sympathy was really running out, so she was thinking more about whether she could do something more with this incident.

That’s why she came running to visit the sick.

Standing in front of the Suzuki family’s door, following the Japanese servant of the Suzuki family all the way in, she had been mentally calculating how to get a word in edgewise when she saw Yoshiko Suzuki, how to irritate her, how to achieve her goal, and so on.

While calculating these things, there was not the slightest bit of guilt in her heart.

Suzuki Yoshiko was short-sighted and stupid, but in truth, it didn’t do her any harm. By all rights, she should have felt guilty for counting on Suzuki Yoshiko like this.

But strangely, she did not feel guilty, nor did she feel guilty, and she sympathized with her out of the position that “not even her fellow countrymen would help her”.

As a Japanese, her husband did not protect her and did not trust her, so she, a Chinese, did not have to do anything.

But the servant did not lead her to Suzuki Yoshiko’s room, but to a pavilion overlooking the water.

Then the servant opened the window, and only then did she see that across a small pool, the room opposite was Yoshiko Suzuki’s room.

Of course, she did not see Suzuki Yoshiko, but she did see many people in that room, all of whom seemed to be maids, and not only Japanese maids, but Chinese maids as well.

For she heard Chinese.

The Japanese were very willing to use Chinese servants, but on the contrary it was the Chinese merchants who preferred to buy Indian servants for window dressing.

All the Japanese merchants she had seen used Chinese servants, but of course the Japanese servants were more noble, because if the family was not big enough, not noble enough, there would not be a servant in the family, and to be able to use a servant meant that the Japanese family in Japan was not small enough, and even allowed him to bring a servant to China.

The Suzuki family of course used Japanese servants.

But now it looked like they were starting to use Chinese servants as well.

Being too far away, she couldn’t hear what the Chinese maids over there were saying, but she could hear that they were busy with their work.

At that moment, Suzuki Saburo arrived, and he bowed first at the door and said, “Ms. Zhu, long time no greetings. Thank you very much for coming to visit Yoshiko, it is truly an honor for the Suzuki family to have a caring friend like you.”

Zhu Yuyan did not get up, but simply turned to him and jawed in salute.

In the past, of course she would have gotten up, but now that Suzuki Saburo had lost the battle against Su Chunjun, she didn’t have to be so respectful to him anymore.

Suzuki Saburo did not sit in the upper seat even when he came in, but sat opposite Zhu Yuyan.

At this time, two Japanese maids came in and brought in two food cases, which were set with Chinese tea and western tea snacks.

Unlike later in life when matcha tea became popular all over the world, the current Japanese people had not made an effort to toss their own products, they preferred western and Chinese things.

Suzuki Saburo also wears a suit on his body, and Suzuki Yoshiko wears more western clothes when she goes out.

On the contrary, Chinese women married to Japanese businessmen wear kimonos, huh, does domestication start with appearance.

You don’t have to talk when you have tea, you have to taste the tea first.

She picked this time to come over because it was the western style afternoon tea time, which is also in line with the Japanese people’s desire for the west.

While savoring the tea, Suzuki Saburo said, “My wife, Yoshiko, gave birth to our firstborn son yesterday.”

Zhu Yuyan immediately looked up – it wasn’t even Suzuki Yoshiko’s due date yet.

It was still at least a month away.

Premature labor?

Zhu Yuyan: “Congratulations. I’m so happy for you guys. Yoshiko must be very happy too, she’s a woman who loves her family passionately, with all her enthusiasm. When will we get to meet our cute little son? I’ll be sure to have a gift ready, and Yoshiko, I’d like to congratulate her in person.”

Suzuki Saburo slowly filled his cup with tea and shook his head, “Now that we have a child, of course Yoshiko will have to concentrate on taking care of him. Yoshiko is a traditional Japanese woman, she will put all her heart and soul into her family, and if her family needs her to take care of the child, she will be dedicated to it.”

He means …… Suzuki Yoshiko won’t appear again?

Zhu Yuyan didn’t retort, she calmly finished savoring the refreshments and excused herself, going home and arranging for another gift for the Suzuki family’s youngest son to be sent over.

When Zhao Shuli was free, she asked him if Suzuki Saburo had any recent movements. Suzuki Yoshiko’s boutique called Ichio how is it.

Zhao Shuli hadn’t really paid attention to it, after all, their entire goal was placed on Suzuki Saburo, a Japanese store that had nothing to do with the big picture really didn’t have the effort to pay attention to it.

However, since there was a hint from Zhu Yuyan, Zhao Shuli hurriedly went to check, and got the news at eleven o’clock that night.

Suzuki Saburo had given away Suzuki Yoshiko’s pride and joy, Kazuo.

It was given to a Japanese merchant who sold soy sauce and wine.

This Japanese businessman’s business is carried out very poorly, after all, Japan has soy sauce wine, China also has soy sauce ah, this Japanese businessman said that his soy sauce used to eat fish is particularly good – the city hit the oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar in the small store, a wide variety of everything.

China is really confident in the area of food.

Even if everything is foreign nowadays, but soy sauce, vinegar and such small things, no one really aspires to foreign goods.

So this Japanese businessman’s ambitions hit a brick wall.

Like him, there are many Japanese businessmen in the Japanese Chamber of Commerce. In fact, the Japanese Chamber of Commerce in the businessmen, but there is no very surprising technology, and the city is the whole of China can be counted on the cutting edge of the city, even the ladies look at the pictorials have the United States news translation, what new technology and new goods here is not it? French champagne, American Coca-Cola, German cigarettes and cigars, all are available here, not only the genuine article, but also cheap cottage goods.

There are actually very few Japanese businessmen who can make money at the moment, and to a large extent, it is still thanks to the blessing of the current market stop strike.

Su Chunjun, when selecting Japanese merchants, also focuses on selecting those that he can use – in other words, goods that are in short supply.

In other words, they were in demand. Since they were in demand, they were definitely making money.

For example, Suzuki Saburo’s tinplate factory, such as that doll factory, such as the next glass bottle factory, and need a lot of labor clothing factories, textile factories, and so on.

Soy sauce does not need a factory, soy sauce only needs a workshop.

Su Chunjun could hardly look this kind of small Japanese businessman in the eye.

Suzuki Saburo didn’t look it in the eye before either, but he found an opportunity to ease the antagonism between him and the Japanese Chamber of Commerce.

Right after he gave that storefront to a Japanese soy sauce merchant for free, someone was finally willing to speak for him and take his side in the Japanese Chamber of Commerce.

He locked up his wife and then gave away her estate to curry favor with his opponents.

Zhu Yuyan sighed, “What a smart man. Pity.”

It’s a pity that Suzuki Yoshiko, such a good pawn, can’t be used anymore.

Su Chunjun: “It doesn’t matter. The Japanese Chamber of Commerce is no longer ironclad, and Suzuki Saburo is already on our boat, he can’t get off.”

Zhu Yuyan smiled at his words.
