"All the information is clear, and they are being refitted over there."
Gan Ning came in to report: "Kang Chenshu has been to the warehouse several times and observed it carefully. We called him over and asked him to see if there were any inappropriate places. It is now completed."
"Well, hurry up." Meng Shaoyuan nodded: "The shipment will start tomorrow. Remember, there must be no problems. According to the information provided by Kang Chenshu and Jin Axe, Ji Yunqing purchased a new Chevrolet truck without a license plate. He is planning to donate this truck to the Japanese as well. He will also bring the money and the truck, he is really a good man."
Gan Ning sneered.
"Okay." Meng Shaoyuan checked the time and said, "Hurry up and handle it. I will personally supervise the formation tomorrow."
"Yes."
…
Master Meng is now a family man.
Once a man has a family, some subtle changes will naturally occur.
For example, after work, the first thought is to go home.
Dai Li was right, it was better for agents to get married as late as possible.
Once you have a home, you now have worries about many things that you didn’t worry about before.
By the time we got home, it was almost time for dinner.
So far, Meng Shaoyuan has lived in Qiangwei Mansion for a relatively long time.
This is understandable, as a newlywed.
In the entire Rose Mansion, the one who is most dissatisfied is probably Butler Qiu who has a bad face all day long.
Speaking of which, Butler Qiu was seriously dissatisfied with this marriage.
But he is just a steward, how can he take care of his master's affairs?
Another thing that made him collapse was that on the day after Meng Shaoyuan and Cai Xuefei got married, a telegram from Nanyang arrived:
"Suspended, please discuss!"
That means the marriage is on hold because Cai Xuefei's family has not yet agreed.
But……
Why did you call me back so late?
Butler Qiu wanted to cry but had no tears.
He was quite smart and secretly hid the telegram.
Otherwise, let Cai Xuefei know that her housekeeper actually made a report behind her back, and she would be walking around without food.
By the way, there's that Araou.
Why did he live in Qiangwei Mansion?
Still saying that you need to take care of the master?
Take care of the master and go back to your own home!
Butler Qiu feels that his position in Rose Mansion has been seriously challenged...
…
"Steward Qiu."
After returning home, Meng Shaoyuan put on his slippers and said, "Please clean my leather shoes."
"you!"
Butler Qiu swallowed his anger.
Tolerate.
Who asked me to be my uncle?
"By the way, there is also Butler Qiu." Meng Shaoyuan stopped Butler Qiu who was carrying his leather shoes and wanted to go out: "Why were there wrinkles in my suit yesterday? How did you do it?"
I will endure!
Butler Qiu endured serious dissatisfaction: "Yes, old... master, my... fault..."
The sound of "Master" made Meng Shaoyuan feel happy: "As a housekeeper, he has the important responsibility of managing a large family. When it comes to work, he must be meticulous, serious and responsible."
"Yes, sir."
The villain succeeds!
Butler Qiu scolded Meng Shaoyuan's father, mother, grandfather, grandmother, and eighteen generations of ancestors in his heart. He had been in the Cai family for so many years, when had he encountered this?
"This..." Meng Shaoyuan pondered for a moment: "Steward Qiu, as for you, you have a heavy workload and cannot take care of many things, which is human nature. Therefore, I want to reduce your workload a little."
What?
Before Butler Qiu could come back to his senses, Meng Shaoyuan had already said, "That's what I thought about it. Look, Alao is here now. Can you share more of the work with him?"
This has seriously touched Butler Qiu's bottom line. In his opinion, his position as steward of the Cai family is sacred and inviolable. He tried his best to sound as normal as possible:
"Master, I can totally do it. There is no need to trouble other people."
"I said Butler Qiu, why don't you understand what I mean?" Meng Shaoyuan said in a nonchalant manner: "We can implement a dual-steward system and a competitive recruitment system..."
"What...what?" Butler Qiu didn't understand at all: "What competition...what recruitment?"
"Competitive recruitment." Meng Shaoyuan explained in particular: "Whoever is more capable will take this position."
"Meng Shaoyuan!" Butler Qiu, who couldn't bear it anymore, completely exploded: "You villain, you are despicable and shameless, you are retaliating! This is the Cai family, don't..."
"Calm down, calm down." Meng Shaoyuan said with a smile: "Are you scared? You said you always looked down on me before, but you didn't expect that I have become the master of this place now, right? I'd better be your housekeeper with peace of mind, Alao still wants to I'm busy with my own house, so I don't have time to take care of things here. I said Butler Qiu, please be polite to me from now on."
Butler Qiu was speechless...
…
Dinner has been prepared long ago.
What surprised Meng Shaoyuan was that Cai Xuefei actually invited a special guest:
Yamashita Yuri Ai.
Meng Shaoyuan's cheek suddenly felt a pain.
I still haven’t forgotten that slap.
"Miss Yamashita was drunk that day." Seeing her husband's embarrassed look, Cai Xuefei smiled slightly: "We didn't entertain her well, so I specially invited her to dinner to apologize."
"No, I lost my composure that day." Yamashita Yuri glanced at Meng Shaoyuan, her eyes a little complicated: "I should be the one to apologize."
You guys are just apologizing, don’t you know that I’m embarrassed, young master?
"Okay, let's eat." Cai Xuefei greeted.
The atmosphere was a bit awkward.
Cai Xuefei also specially prepared a bottle of wine.
But, in this environment, this wine is a bit unpalatable, right?
"Shao Yuan-kun, I have something to show you." It was Yamashita Yuri who was the first to break the embarrassment.
She took out a newspaper from her bag: "Please look at the front page."
It was a Japanese newspaper and the headline on the front page was:
"The Empire of Japan's goodwill delegation to China, led by the head of the delegation, Kazuo Kaibei, Vice President of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, will arrive in Shanghai soon..."
Mitsubishi Heavy Industries?
This Japanese company that would become famous in the future was definitely not a good bird during the Anti-Japanese War.
Since Mitsubishi Heavy Industries was officially established in 1873, Mitsubishi has actively participated in every war of the Japanese Empire. During the Sino-Japanese War of 1898 alone, the chaebol headed by Mitsubishi donated up to 80 million yen in military expenditures to Japan, accounting for the total wartime military expenditures. one third of .
In return, the Japanese government gave Mitsubishi a virtual monopoly on the domestic shipbuilding, mining, and banking industries. The world's largest transportation company "Nippon Yusen Line" and Asia's largest shipyard "Nagasaki Shipyard" are both under the name of Mitsubishi. By serving the war of aggression, Mitsubishi gradually grew into Asia's largest chaebol.
After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Mitsubishi immediately joined the plunder of the Northeast. It seized all the shipyards in the Dalian area and built a luxury hotel called "Mitsubishi Kantoku Kaikan" in Changchun, the capital of the puppet Manchukuo State, to entertain the chaebol and Kanto Military upper echelons.
In the Battle of Songhu in 1937 and the Battle of Wuhan the following year, the four aircraft carriers and two battleships used by the Japanese Navy were all produced by Mitsubishi. Later, Mitsubishi looted 1,350 tons of tungsten ore from Nanpeng Island in Guangzhou and destroyed the island. The foundation is completely hollowed out.
Therefore, Meng Shaoyuan has never had a good impression of this Japanese company.
But what does the vice president of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries’ visit to Shanghai have to do with Yuri Yamashita?
"Shaoyuan-kun." Yamashita Yuri's voice was low: "Do you still remember how my father died?"
of course I remember.
Yamashita Yuri's father is Yamashita Arakushige, a spy developed by He Ruyi.
Later, he was killed by a ronin sent by a Japanese right-wing group.
How smart Meng Shaoyuan was: "Is your father's death related to this man named Haibei Kazuo?"
"Yes." Yamashita Yuri Ai replied as expected: "My father and Kaibei Kazuo have known each other for a long time, and they are very good friends, but my mother told me that this person betrayed my father..."
How unreasonable!
Isn't Yamashita Yuri's father-in-law his father-in-law? How dare you kill your father-in-law? This is unbearable!
Meng Shaoyuan slapped the table: "You bastards, ah, I'm not talking about you, I'm talking about this Haibei Kazuo. He dares to come to Shanghai for being a villain. Teacher Yamashita, you are my teacher, and my teacher's father is equivalent to mine..." As a relative of mine, I will definitely help you avenge this!"
"Thank you, thank you, Shao Yuan-kun!" Yamashita Yuri said gratefully.
Cai Xuefei smiled slightly.
My husband, far from helping others to avenge him, was just trying to please Mr. Yamashita.
She had already guessed that her husband and Yamashita Yuri's relationship was unusual. How could a man and a woman live together without trouble?
Coupled with the fact that Yamashita Yuri lost her temper at the wedding banquet that day, Cai Xuefei felt even brighter.
It's impossible for Cai Xuefei not to be jealous, but now that she is Meng Shaoyuan's real wife, managing this family, she has to find a way to help him solve the evil that her husband has done outside, right?
I just didn't expect that the original intention was for Yamashita Yuri to come to dinner and ease the relationship between the two, but it would lead to such an incident.
"Shaoyuan-kun, this Haibei Kazuo is also a veteran spy." Yamashita Yuri said quickly: "When we were in Hangzhou, Mr. He specifically told me about him. He was sent to the Northeast from China very early. He serves as the general manager of Mitsubishi Shipbuilding Company in Northeast China, plunders local resources, and is a major spy leader in Northeast China."
oh? Meng Shaoyuan really paid attention to this.
Japan has colonized Northeast China for a very long time and has accumulated a lot of colonial experience.
After Japan occupied Shanghai, Nanjing and other places, it also urgently needed to stabilize various occupied areas. Is it possible that this so-called visiting delegation is here to impart experience?
If it is really what I guessed, then I have to pay close attention to it. Publicly and privately, Haibei Kazuo cannot easily enter and leave Shanghai easily.
Shanghai is really an important place.
We have just received information from Miao Chengfang that a Japanese official named Yoshikawa Gomon is about to arrive in Shanghai.
Now, Haibei Kazuo and the visiting delegation are here again?
It’s lively.
Everyone comes to Shanghai.
After you sing, I will appear.
Moreover, those heavyweights will appear one after another in the coming days!
