Chapter 393
Su Chunjun felt that Yan Yan must have encountered something that was difficult for her to accept, but she refused to tell him.
For the next few days, he waited silently and observed quietly. But found nothing.
Yan Yan had always been the smartest person he had ever met, and if he was referring to women alone, he had never seen a smarter woman than her.
Since the two of them shared the same mind, nothing seemed to be difficult for her. After he met her, she had always been so smart and resourceful.
Suddenly, there was a secret between them.
He didn’t feel sad, rather it was like he was back in his youth, when he was still serving as the second young lady’s tutor, fighting with her every day in order to teach this smart girl well.
She is at ease to hide it from him, is not going to easily spit it out.
When Su Chunjun thought about this matter during his work break, he didn’t feel heavy, and even smiled, which startled both the listener and the secretary around him.
The Intelligence Department has been prepared to send new people over, this time from other places to urgently transfer over, may be considering the local intelligence department was he was a pot of money, if the two sides are not dealing with, worried about a second assassination plus fire. Therefore, Secretary Zhao Shuli Zhao, who had already left, was ordered to become this new Intelligence Minister’s deputy minister, the second-in-command, and followed him over to build the new Intelligence Department.
Zhao Shuli personally made a phone call yesterday through the encrypted phone, words of affection, not only did not blame him for killing the last intelligence department, but also said that thanks to this incident he can be promoted two levels, due to the disaster.
Su Chunjun did not prevent there is an old man came back, the heart of suspicion, mouth also want to knock, said: “Now here is a fire pit ah.”
Zhao Shuli on the phone in a relaxed tone to take the trick, said: “never rich and powerful in the risk of seeking well.”
Su Chunjun sighed: “I thought we could sit together and drink tea next time, but I didn’t expect you to sit at someone else’s table this time.”
Zhao Shuli: “Whose table is not important, which side of the chair is important.”
Su Chunjun: “Then which way did you set your chair?”
Zhao Shuli: “That goes without saying?”
The two sides hung up the phone after some yin and yang.
When Su Chunjun remembered this incident, he put down the pen in his hand, hung up the phone to the living room side, and asked, “Where is the wife?”
The maid in the living room answered the phone and whispered back, “Madam is still in the small living room.”
Su Chunjun hung up the phone, went out and downstairs, heading straight to the small living room.
Zhu Yuyan was indeed counting the accounts and writing thank you letters for the donations. On her desk were a month’s worth of newspapers and magazines, on which she had labeled in red all the new business firms, chambers of commerce, companies, banks, and so on, all of which were the targets of her new fund-raising efforts.
Although the business on the market is not doing well, but that is the business on the surface is not doing well, the ordinary people on the street to do business, the ordinary people who open a store have a hard time.
The business in the underworld is doing great.
It’s a little bit of a downturn, but it’s a little bit of a upturn.
Now the streets are full of □□□, Chaozhou Gang, Qing Gang’s power has risen greatly. One reason is that the people have been displaced, and many young adults who have lost their homes, jobs, and sources of livelihood have been absorbed into the □□, and the other reason is that the government has become weak, while Japan doesn’t mind that the □□ is running rampant, and the Japanese and the □□ are cooperating in buying people and smuggling at the same time.
With money and then people, □□ became strong.
This city is really a place where the poor and the rich can’t survive, but now the rich have changed.
Zhu Yuyan writes thank you letters when she sees a new company opening in the newspaper, with uniform pricing ranging from one thousand dollars to five hundred dollars, depending on the power behind them.
Although most of these companies are owned by □□, □□ doesn’t want to mess with Su Chunjun and Zhu Yuyan, who are known to be a wealthy couple. They are afraid that if they don’t pay up, Su Chunjun will get them into trouble, and Zhu Yuyan, as Mrs. Su, can pretend to be her husband’s authority, so they prefer to get rid of their money and get rid of their disasters.
Compared to the previous decade or so when Zhu Yuyan watched Zhu Yanshu make offerings to various bureaus, now she had the feeling that she was also collecting protection money.
After all, there is no fear that the other party will not pay.
With a “stable” source of income, it would be easier and more stable for her to place orders for smuggling ships.
This was like receiving money and giving it to the □□□.
That’s probably why they were so quick to pay.
It was also darkly humorous to say the least. The British soldiers on the British warships were eating potatoes, and the British newspapers were advocating every day for the British to scrimp and save and support the British army, but the smuggling ships from India were bringing shiploads and shiploads of corn into Zhu Yuyan’s warehouse.
Corn from England, wheat from the United States, peanuts from Peru, all this smuggled in food should have gone to feed the British and American soldiers, but instead it came to China and became food for the Chinese people.
This is the power of the dollar.
After Zhu Yuyan finished writing a letter of thanks, she saw Su Chunjun standing at the door smiling.
She said, “What’s wrong?”
Su Chunjun: “Do you have anything else to do later?”
Zhu Yuyan: “I have to place a few orders for the packaging factory, it’s not important. Come over.”
She moved the books and newspapers placed on the sofa beside her, patted the sofa, and called out to him to come over and sit.
Su Chunjun strides over and sits down, saying, “I have good news to tell you.”
Zhu Yuyan: “Good news?”
Now there is actually good news, then she must hear it.
Su Chunjun: “Zhao Shuli is coming back, he is the vice minister of the Intelligence Department this time, newly appointed, jumping several levels in a row.”
Zhu Yuyan also cheered up when she heard it was an acquaintance, last time when Zhao Shuli was around, a few people got along well, and she didn’t hate this person, even if it was a colleague of unknown enemy, she still hoped it was someone she didn’t hate.
She smiled and said, “It’s really good news, is the Intelligence Department finally organizing all the manpower to be sent over?”
Su Chunjun mentioned to her that because the people over here died too thoroughly, the Intelligence Department back there should have called back all the spies and manpower from this generation, not daring to send them under him again. Now is the time to send people, but also need to organize a team first, to avoid him to stuff people into it again.
Su Chunjun did intend to stuff people in, and he wanted to stuff Driver Chen in.
Chen Driver instead refused after a few days of hesitation.
Driver Chen said, “It’s all about hooking up over there, I can’t do it, I’ll let them eat me if I go in.”
Su Chunjun: “What are you afraid of with me as your backer? Whoever doesn’t serve you you just take them out.”
Driver Chen shook his head, “Then sooner or later, I’ll fall too, Mr. Su, don’t harm me, okay? I’ve honestly followed you for a few years, I’ve done hard work even without merit.”
Since Driver Chen was unwilling, Su Chunjun had no choice but to give up.
Now that there is Zhao Shuli, then this Cypriot matter can wait for now.
Zhu Yuyan said, “Then should we pack up a house for him? He used to live here too.”
Su Chunjun: “Pack it up, I’m sure I’ll be the host if they come. I’ll choose a house for them in the city first, then invite them to be my guests, and then invite Zhao Shuli alone, he wouldn’t dare not come.”
It seemed that Su Chunjun was treating Zhao Shuli as a dish on his own plate, grasping him tightly and not wanting him to run away.
Zhu Yuyan found the previous records on Zhao Shuli, decorated the house according to his preferences back then, and found two Suzhou cooks.
During this time, she didn’t even bother to pay attention to Yamamoto and Jin Juli.
After deciding to do this, she started to distance herself from Jinjuri.
Although it might not work, it was still necessary to reduce suspicion.
Although she didn’t go to Yamamoto’s house, Yamamoto’s information still came in an endless stream.
The fact that Yamamoto was sick was already known to the outside world, but it was rumored that Yamamoto had enteritis, and it was also said that it was a very serious case of tooth decay and inflammation, both of which could cause wasting, and Yamamoto’s abstinence from food could be justified.
It was Zhu Yuyan who doubted that Yamamoto could really have enteritis or tooth decay instead of diabetes.
She was thinking of assassinating Yamamoto while taking away Jinjuri, so that people would focus their attention on Yamamoto and not think that Jinjuri was the target, and whether it was successful or not, the matter of helping Jinjuri to escape would be easier.
And the means she can think of is to utilize Yamamoto’s illness.
But if his illness is fake, that would be troublesome.
She asked Su Chunjun if she could get more detailed information about Yamamoto’s case.
Su Chunjun said, “I’m trying to figure it out, and there might be a better chance with Suzuki.”
Because, the Japanese side didn’t know exactly what Yamamoto’s illness was.
The Japanese side only knew that Yamamoto was seriously ill and that it might affect his work, but because Yamamoto refused to admit that he was ill, refused to hand over his case, refused to let the military doctor see him, and even hid the doctor who treated him.
So the Japanese side also wanted to know what Yamamoto’s illness was and how he got it.
Su Chunjun: “The Japanese side doesn’t trust Yamamoto either.”
Zhu Yuyan: “Is it so complicated ……”
Su Chunjun smiled and said, “Japan is a gatekeeper plus warlord government, it’s complicated as hell.”
