The next morning, Lu Ming drove Du Juan to the Shengfu Liuyuan Garden. Lu Ming specifically told Du Juan some things, such as trying to wear simple clothes every day and try not to put on makeup. Since he wants to be a factory manager, he must
Slowly develop professional qualities.
When Sheng Youde saw the two people arriving, he asked the housekeeper to call a middle-aged woman and introduce them to them. This middle-aged woman was a distant relative of Sheng Youde and was now the manager of a spinning factory in Sheng's industry.
Although the spinning industry has been impacted by British and Japanese companies, and there are competitors like the Yan family in Shanghai, this is the foundation of Sheng Youde's business. Even if he loses money, he will not let the spinning mill close down.
There are many large and small spinning mills in Shanghai. Although the profits are meager, they can still support the workers and do not lose money.
When Sheng Youde and others started, the spinning industry was still a profit-making industry. Twenty years later, it has become a sunset industry. This is also an inevitable process for the development of the industry.
Sheng Youde asked Du Juan to call the middle-aged woman Aunt Sheng. Du Juan went to the spinning factory to serve as an apprentice to this Aunt Sheng to learn management, and her position was similar to that of assistant to the general manager.
Aunt Sheng was very enthusiastic on the surface, but Lu Ming could still feel her inner resistance. Won't it cause trouble for her if she hired a girl from the romantic field to be her apprentice to blind people? But this was Sheng Youde's arrangement.
That was an order, and she naturally had no right to refuse.
"Now that you are still an apprentice, I will give you a salary of fifty yuan a month first. I will increase the salary after you learn how to do it." Sheng Youde looked at Du Juan and said with a smile.
"Thank you, President Sheng. I can go to the factory to study, even if I don't get paid." Du Juan said with a smile.
She never thought that one day she would be able to enter a factory and become a manager. This was something she never dared to dream of.
"Don't worry, he will pay the salary. This kid is rich." Sheng Youde pointed the way and said with a smile.
Everyone laughed. Of course Sheng Youde was joking. Asking Lu Ming to pay Du Juan's salary didn't mean that the left hand went out and the right hand went in.
Du Juan followed her master Aunt Sheng away. Before leaving, she glanced at Lu Ming and felt a little uneasy. After all, this step was too big and she didn't react for a while.
What she has learned since she was a child is how to please and serve men, how to take money out of the pockets of rich people, and even how to use means to drain a man dry. Now she has changed her mind and has to learn to manage factory affairs. Between the two
The gap is too big.
Lu Ming looked at her encouragingly, the meaning in his eyes was: You can do it, believe in yourself.
Lu Ming has nothing to worry about. Du Juan will not be bullied by anyone when working in Sheng's Industry. He also believes that with Du Juan's intelligence, it is not a difficult problem to learn to manage a workshop or a small factory.
"You little bastard, you know that if you cause trouble for me, you are also causing trouble for yourself." After the two women left, Sheng Youde had something to say and called Lu Ming.
"This is also called trouble. I'm just doing it with a little effort." Lu Ming said unconvinced.
"I can do it with a little effort, but can this solve your problem? Don't think that I don't know your trivial matters. Can you decide what her future will be like? Can Mingzhu accept it?" Sheng Youde sneered.
Of course Lu Ming knew what Sheng Youde meant. The Lu family had family rules and men could not take concubines before they were forty.
Sheng Youde was reminding him in disguise that if Lu Ming and Du Juan really wanted to be together, Du Juan could only be a concubine and not even have the status of a concubine.
"I never restrict you from entering romantic places, but it's just for fun. You must not show your true feelings in a place like that. Once you show your true feelings, there will be endless troubles." Sheng Youde lectured.
"Old man, I know, how can I dare to be so presumptuous in front of you? This matter is a special case." Lu Ming said with a smile.
"Well, next time, I will let you teach you a lesson." Sheng Youde threatened him.
"Old man, you must not do it." Lu Ming pretended to tremble, just to coax the old man.
"This incident is also a lesson. You have to learn from it. A kid like yours, Inspector Zhang, is really moved by his true feelings. Now he must be miserable." Sheng Youde laughed sarcastically.
"It's miserable, but I enjoy it." Lu Ming turned around and laughed again.
Of course Sheng Youde was talking about Zhang Ziyang, who had a true love for Cai Lian and was determined to marry her.
"Enjoying it? He will suffer for the rest of his life. People like him are asking for trouble. You are young now. You are ridiculous in front of you and will regret it in the future." Sheng Youde said contemptuously.
Lu Ming didn't say anything. He knew the thoughts of Sheng Youde's generation, including some young men in Shanghai. In their eyes, the girls in Changsan Apartment were just playthings and should not be taken seriously.
When you get tired of playing, you put them aside, and finally look at them with contempt, thinking that they are slutty, dirty and despicable.
But Lu Ming didn't think so. What he saw in his eyes was the suffering and tears of the girls at Fengyue Place. It was a sin to wantonly trample and ravage them. As a man, he felt the same kind of original sin.
Therefore, not only did he not have any contempt for the girls in the romantic place, nor did he mean to play with them, but he was full of sympathy and compassion. As long as he could, he would help them and redeem a little of the sins of men.
He knew that he could not change the thinking of Sheng Youde's generation, but he did not want to join in the trend and change himself.
He knew that the main reason why Sheng Youde let Du Juan into his factory was because Du Juan had not lost his virginity. If he had brought lotus picking, Sheng Youde would probably have turned him away, and his face would not be of much use.
"Boy, this trouble has been solved for you. It's time for you to concentrate on your business," Sheng Youde said.
"Well, don't worry, old man, I've made arrangements, and I'm just waiting for the prey to take the bait." Lu Ming said with a smile.
He told An Gonggen and others that they had returned to Shanghai and their plan to trap Ozawa and others.
"Are those North Koreans really reliable?" Sheng Youde knew An Gonggen, but he didn't know whether he could take on a big responsibility.
"I have inspected it, and they have no problems. What we want to do is what they want to do, and their will is even stronger than ours." Lu Ming has no doubts about his cooperation with An Gonggen.
"The scale must be grasped well. You must control them firmly and not let their emotions go. If they kill the Japanese, they will cause big trouble." Sheng Youde gave serious instructions.
"Don't worry, they are all professionals and will strictly demand that they obey orders." Lu Ming said solemnly.
Lu Ming felt reassured by An Gonggen's people and even admired their professional skills. Of course, he also believed in their integrity.
If you compare An Gonggen's people with the policemen in the Shanghai Police Station, they are just like grown men and children.
An Gonggen and others are people who have struggled through life and death and never consider personal interests, because for them, this is a non-existent problem.
If anything, in their minds, the big benefit is the country, and the small benefit is life. They have decided to trade small for big, and have no other aspirations.
Sheng Youde's reminder is not unreasonable. Danger is one thing, but trustworthiness is another.
Hatred can indeed make a person lose his mind, but it can also make professionals focus more on their own goals. Killing someone can only vent their hatred, but it cannot help them achieve their goals.
"Well, if you have any problems, let me know in time. I can't come forward in this matter, and you have to be careful not to let the Japanese take advantage of it." Sheng Youde did not forget to give the final warning.
Sheng Youde admired the cooperation between Lu Ming and An Gonggen in his heart. This was an excellent combination, using the method of using four or two to move a thousand pounds, and the strength was balanced and reasonable.
In this way, the Japanese will shift their target to An Gonggen and the others, and will not implicate the Sheng family and Lu Ming. Even if the Japanese know it well, but there is no evidence, they can only suffer the loss of being dumb.
As for An Gonggen and others, they are not afraid of revealing their identities. What they want is to let Japan know of their existence. The Korean martyrs will not be able to kill them all, and they will haunt the enemy like wronged ghosts.
After Lu Ming came out of Sheng's house, he drove back to the apartment, but met a messenger at the door of the apartment.
