Chapter 386
Now, there was no one to trust.
In the past, although she didn’t trust the Kuomintang, she felt that in a situation like the one at hand, the Kuomintang wouldn’t at least backstab Su Chunjun and her, but she’d thought wrongly, and it was clear that Su Chunjun had long since been given up on-and she’d gone so far as to mistakenly think that Su Chunjun’s competence and mellowness was valuable to them, that the proficiency he’d demonstrated in the official world would be useful.
As it turned out, she thought too well.
She sat on Su Chunjun’s lap, wrapped her arms around his neck, and asked half-heartedly, “Is it true that you didn’t send a gift to the superior official.”
This, indeed, is not sent.
Su Chunjun wrapped his arms around her thin waist, shook his head, and laughed, “Indeed, I was negligent.”
He didn’t send a gift to the superior officer because he didn’t think it was necessary – because he originally didn’t know how long he would stay in this seat ah. His current mission had always been to stay in the local area, so in that case, what was the point of giving a gift to the superior official? If he was transferred, what about his mission?
Since you don’t want to go, you can save the step of giving gifts to the officials.
Like Jiang, who has been here before, and Zhao Shuli, who followed Mr. Zhang, and even Mr. Zhang, he was here like a grandson to serve them, and when they left, he turned his face away and forgot about them, and didn’t think twice about continuing to contact them to maintain the friendship or something.
This is a big taboo in the officialdom ah.
He was too lazy to do anything unnecessary.
So no matter if it was VIP Jiang, or Zhao Shuli, or Mr. Zhang, no matter how good the relationship was here, after leaving it was that no one remembered anyone.
This time is very dangerous.
However, he had earned it by taking the opportunity to do something to get rid of the Intelligence Department.
He said, “While the new Intelligence Department is still here, I will contact a ship to send you to England.”
Zhu Yuyan: “What’s wrong with you? When did I say I was leaving. Yamamoto’s side is the right time to make a move. If I leave, will you contact him yourself? Do you have someone in mind? Or do you also want to recruit a concubine to contact him for you? Can you find someone credible and reliable in the interim?”
Su Chunjun shook his head, “It’s always necessary to make two preparations. Yamamoto’s place is another matter, I can’t just rely on you to contact Yamamoto, have you forgotten about Suzuki? He is the most suitable person.”
Zhu Yuyan willed him, “Prepare the boat, are you leaving or not?”
Who knows, Su Chunjun said, “I have to look at the situation, if the situation is not right, I may not leave.”
What the mission is he doesn’t know, now he can’t go, but in the end what orders are given to him, he is going to follow them, if he needs to be sacrificed, then he is also sure to send her away before he is sacrificed.
He would never let her sacrifice along with him.
Zhu Yuyan didn’t think that he would be willing to live – her mood suddenly changed, and it was like flowers blooming in her heart, a large sea of flowers spreading out!
She was willing to sacrifice with him when she thought he would follow the city.
For the sake of her ideals, for the sake of saving lives, she did not fear death.
But if he was willing to live, then of course she was happier! For to live was to have the possibility of seeing that wonderful world again.
If there was someone in the world who shared her ideals, and the two of them worked together to advance and retreat together, then what was there to fear if there was a mountain of daggers in front of them, and an infernal hell under their feet.
She said, “Since that’s what you’re planning to do, then fine, I have no opinion.”
The two of them discussed a bit more about how to find Suzuki.
They both agreed that Zhu Yuyan could reduce the number of times she went to Yamamoto’s place, gradually distancing herself to avoid being kidnapped by the Japanese.
She said, “Suzuki’s place can only be lured and coerced.”
Su Chunjun: “I’ll do it. Suzuki Saburo is a very easy to see through person, he doesn’t believe in the myth of Japanese militarism, he doesn’t even have any loyalty to the Japanese state, but he aspires to the big money makers there in the United States and Germany, and he thinks that’s the ultimate dream of a businessman.”
In other words, Suzuki wanted to be a big capitalist.
It wouldn’t be a problem to get him to sell Japan if he was given the chance.
As a matter of fact, he was now semi-betraying the Japanese military under the guidance of Su Chunjun and Zhu Yuyan.
Because although the Japanese military supported Suzuki and these businessmen to do business in China, they were taking a cut. Suzuki, of course, wanted to make all the money himself, and he would not have been so willing to give the Japanese military a cut if he had not been afraid that the military would catch him and give him a treasonous offense.
However, he also knew very well that his business was better under the patronage of the Japanese military.
It was just that Su Chunjun had been trying hard to prove to him that to be an umbrella, he was actually more qualified than the Japanese military. That’s what made Suzuki fall back.
Zhu Yuyan: “So will he be willing to pry Yamamoto’s corner?”
Su Chunjun: “I’ll ask around first to see who will replace Yamamoto.”
Zhu Yuyan: “Then I’ll contact the German and American drug manufacturing companies.”
The very next day, Zhu Yuyan organized another charity fundraiser and sent out invitations to many drug brokers and agents in the city. Of course, in the name of charity, one certainly couldn’t expect everyone to come on their own accord.
So she foxed the security team to bring their guns to block people, and the invitations were personally delivered by the people with the guns, and the guests that came were more than enough.
Those who didn’t come also let the security team go and invite them.
So the people who came that day were quite complete.
Zhu Yuyan asked these drug brokers to donate money, goods and medicines, and during this period, some doctors and nurses from the hospital were invited to come and talk about how short of medicines the hospital was now.
The hospital was basically short of everything. In the latter days, needles and infusion tubes were disposable, but now they were all reused, and even contagion couldn’t be a concern because some hospitals even had courtyards full of patients, and there wasn’t enough room for beds, sheets, pillows, gowns, and so on.
Such fund-raisers were almost daily in town, and no amount of kind-hearted people could afford to donate every day, so that in the end everyone had to harden their hearts coldly.
It’s not like she can’t understand. These days, even holding a gun wasn’t quite enough to find people to donate.
However, her main purpose today wasn’t fundraising either, but rather contacting drug dealers to find medicine for Yamamoto.
She invited each of the drug agents of this era into the small dark room one by one for a close conversation.
Drug agent number one was a Chinese man with no background in studying abroad, spoke no foreign languages at all, and was even originally a gang member.
How did he become a drug agent?
Because he makes money smuggling drugs, of course. In such a business, the gangs would definitely want to do the same, and they would also want to make money together.
This guy memorized the codes of German and Japanese drugs.
At first he was smuggling for the gangs, but after the business got bigger, he kicked the gangs out.
He kicked the gangs out and did it himself.
He is also a capable person.
Zhu Yuyan directly gave him both drugs, all names, no number.
This person is now also a suit and collar, he said: “Mrs. Su, without a number to find it will be troublesome ah.”
Zhu Yuyan: “The first one is easy to find, it’s the most fashionable new drug in the U.S. Nowadays, you should memorize this symbol and just buy it according to the injection.”
She wrote the symbol “Ra” for him to see, “Two letters, capitalized R in front, lowercase a at the back, no punctuation in the middle. Be careful when you bring this medicine back, wrap it tightly, it leaks poison.”
This person: “I understand, fighting poison with poison. Yellow-haired devils also understand this?”
Zhu Yuyan laughed: “Yellow hair ghosts have a long history of taking poison, they call it medicine. However, not as fine as us, they are not regardless of the three sevens to pour into the mouth, we also pay attention to a combination.”
This person laughed and said, “OK, then I will find it for you.”
Zhu Yuyan took out a gold bar: “Deposit.”
The man collected the gold bar and left.
The second medicine generation is German, Jewish nation, he is the earliest batch of merchants who came to China, a mouthful of Chinese language is no different from Chinese people, he even wears a long shirt Magua, once also participated in the Xiu Cai examination, it is said that the emperor ran away without waiting for the release of the list.
He used to be in the textile business, then he opened a shipyard, and then he started to be a pharmaceutical agent, and although his business has gone through several ups and downs, he is supposed to have not suffered too many losses.
He lived in the French Concession, and is said to have married a small-footed wife and taken a new-style woman as a concubine, and had four or five children of mixed blood.
His Chinese name was Marvid.
“Mrs. Su.” It wasn’t the first time he had dealt with Zhu Yuyan.
Zhu Yuyan got up to greet him and shook his hand, “Vader, long time no see, have a seat.”
After sitting down, Zhu Yuyan said bluntly, “Vader, can you buy insulin from Schneider? I need it, the price is negotiable, just be quick, it’s best to get it within three months.”
Ma Weide was surprised, “Is it your family friend who is sick?”
Zhu Yuyan smiled and said, “Yes, it’s a good friend of mine, he’s very sick, and this medicine can’t be left for a moment. I’ve thought of many ways and could only come to you.”
Marvid said, “It’s not hard, it’s just that there’s no guarantee of time. I can also only go back by boat to buy it, and if I go back and forth, three months is a bit tight.”
Zhu Yuyan took out another plate of gold bars and pushed it over, “No matter what, please think of a way.”
Ma Wei De said, “Must it be made in Germany? Will other countries work?”
Zhu Yuyan pretended to hesitate and pondered for a moment, saying, “I don’t understand if there is any problem in changing this medicine to another company, it’s better to be Schneider’s. If it is Japanese or American, what if it hits a problem? I won’t be able to handle it well.”
Ma WeiDe said, “insulin hit all the same, and the United States out of drug fast. In this way, I can ask around, first give you the medicine to find, you get to use a use, there is no problem and then give me money can also.”
Zhu Yuyan gratefully said, “You really helped me a lot.”
