"When I was the director of the military command, I held a high position of authority, and I also served as the director of the anti-smuggling divisions of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai provinces."
Meng Shaoyuan lit a cigarette and said: "You probably know that it is said to be an anti-smuggling department, but in fact we also smuggle. This is how our military commander's smuggling empire was established.
I know many big smugglers. I have done business with them before and it was very pleasant to cooperate with them. This time, two big smugglers arrived in Chongqing and found me secretly.
The war ahead is urgent right now, and a lot of materials are in short supply, and they can be sold for a sky-high price. The most lacking thing is materials, and the most indispensable thing is money! "
Luo Yazhi's eyes lit up.
But she did not speak, but continued to listen to what Meng Shaoyuan said: "Although this is true, I am no longer the director of the department, and I will not be able to help them dispatch so many supplies for a while.
They wanted it urgently. The prices on the black market were changing every day. If they stayed in Chongqing for one more day, it would mean a huge loss for one day. "
Luo Yazhi asked at this time: "Which way to go?"
Meng Shaoyuan was silent for a moment: "Japan!"
Luo Yazhi didn't find it strange at all.
These days, most of those who have some power and want to smuggle goods have something to do with Japan.
Are there too few strategic materials falling into the hands of the Japanese army?
"I have a way now, but I don't have the goods." Meng Shaoyuan finally revealed his true purpose: "Where is your Cape of Good Hope? Can you organize the supply of goods now?"
Luo Yazhi did not answer directly: "Now the Cape of Good Hope is also involved in the Qiaokou warehouse case. It is being closely investigated, and the supply of goods is also tight."
"Oh, that's it." Meng Shaoyuan looked a little disappointed.
Seeing her lover like this, Luo Yazhi smiled: "Your business is my business. No matter how tight they are, I will always find a way. Although the goods at the Cape of Good Hope cannot be moved for the time being, my other The place still has supplies!”
"Yeah?"
Meng Shaoyuan was surprised and delighted: "Is the number large?"
"It's very big." In front of her lover, Luo Yazhi didn't hide anything: "Is the other party's funds guaranteed to be sufficient? I only accept cash, and it cannot be a check from a domestic bank, preferably from an American or British bank."
"In terms of funding, there is no problem." Meng Shaoyuan said, "I don't want to make too much, just get the hard work fee."
"Why are you saying this to me?" Luo Yazhi's fingers circled Meng Shaoyuan's body: "What's mine belongs to you. I'll give you half of the money I earned this time."
The other half belongs to Jin Zhuxuan.
Meng Shaoyuan knew it well.
Meng Shaoyuan put out his cigarette butt and hugged Luo Yazhi again.
Luo Yazhi's whole body softened. Before she lost her mind, she said: "Let them come to see you tomorrow!"
…
Someone knocked on the door early in the morning.
Tong Lan opened the door in confusion, saw the people standing outside, and blurted out:
"Azu? Why are you here so early?"
"I'm really sorry, Mrs. Tong." Wu Yanzu was a little shy: "I have something to disturb you so early."
"you say."
"That's what happened."
Wu Yanzu blushed at first: "I am from out of town. My hometown was occupied by the Japanese. I fled to Chongqing. I am an English teacher. I thought it would be easy to find a job. Who would have thought that after I arrived in Chongqing, I discovered that it was not the case at all. .
I never found a job and ran out of money. Yesterday, I was kicked out by my landlord because I was late on rent for a long time. I have no relatives in Chongqing, and I only met Mrs. Tong a few days ago. "
Tong Lan understood immediately: "Come in and talk."
After letting Wu Yanzu in, Tong Lan didn't mince words: "Just wait, I'll give you the money."
"No, no, Mrs. Tong, you misunderstood. I'm not here to ask you to borrow money."
Wu Yanzu hurriedly took out a pocket watch and a gold ring from his pocket: "I am too shy to go to the pawn shop, so I want to deposit these two things with Mrs. Tong first, and I will take them when I have money." return.
This pocket watch was left to me by my father and is worth some money. If Mrs. Tong doesn't believe it, you can take it to the watch shop and have a look. I'll be waiting for you outside. "
"How come I don't know you?" From the first time he met Daniel Wu, Tong Lan had a great impression of this humble and polite young man: "Nothing is mortgaged or not, you have always been helping me, so to speak It’s too foreign.”
"That won't work." Wu Yanzu said seriously: "My father has taught me since I was a child that there is nothing to be afraid of when you are poor, but you can't lose your ambition. Madam Tong and I have never met each other, and I can't thank Madam enough for her willingness to help me. If Madam insists, If you don't want to accept it, then I'll have to go to the pawn shop, and I don't want this face."
Seeing Wu Yanzu being so stubborn, Tong Lan said, "Okay, leave the things here with me for now, you wait."
She turned around and went to the bedroom. After a while, she took out a stack of money and said, "Have you seen enough?"
"Too much, too much. My things are not worth the money."
Seeing that Wu Yanzu was still refusing, Tong Lan forced the money into his hand: "If you don't accept it, I will be angry. You have already said that when you have money in the future, just give it to me." .”
"Then, thank you, Mrs. Tong."
"Tonglai, Mrs. Tong, just call me Tonglan."
Tong Lan checked the time: "You haven't had breakfast yet? I just made it. Just wait, I'll wake up my son, and we'll have breakfast together before we leave."
This time, Daniel Wu was not polite.
Tong Lan's son is Jin Chengrui, who is only five years old.
The three of them had breakfast together, and Tong Lan was about to send his son to kindergarten.
Wu Yanzu stood up and said, "I have nothing to do anyway, so I'll go with you."
Tong Lan thought about it, the kindergarten was not far and not too close, and it was not worth calling a rickshaw. It would be nice to have someone to talk to and keep company on the way there, so she agreed at that time.
After walking for a while, I met a familiar neighbor's wife. She greeted her politely and looked at Daniel Wu: "Hey, is this your husband?"
Tong Lan's face turned red: "No, it's my brother."
"Hey, look at my eyes, see you another day."
Tong Lan found that it was nothing at first, but when the neighbor's wife said this, her heart beat a little faster.
She and Wu Yanzu are similar in age, and they take a child to school together. Can they not be misunderstood by others as a couple?
After sending Jin Chengrui to the kindergarten, Tong Lan had nothing to say: "Where is your luggage?"
"They are all placed in the grocery store next to where I live." Daniel Wu replied smoothly: "Sister, I really want to thank you this time. When I find a job, I will be the first to tell you."
He actually came down the slope and called me.
Tong Lan had always been alone and dependent on her son. Suddenly there was a man beside her, and she couldn't explain what it felt like:
"When I'm free from now on, I'll come to my sister's house to have dinner, and you won't have to talk to me."
"I know, sister, I will definitely come!"
