In the city hall, Zhang Tianhao and Kono Kouko sat opposite each other on the coffee table, drinking tea and looking leisurely at the rainy weather outside the window.
However, the two of them were still in a pretty good mood.
"Mr. Qin, what, do you still like rainy days?"
"Yes, I prefer rainy days. Listen, the light rain hits the leaves, making such a silent sound, but when it turns into a drop of water, it falls again and hits another leaf, or grass, on the ground.
It will make an amazing noise."
"Gathering small things into something big is strength!"
Zhang Tianhao pointed to the small leaf outside the window and said casually, as if there was an inexplicable color and confidence in his eyes.
"Mr. Qin, your words seem to have other meanings!"
"No, I was just listening to the sound of rain. Especially at night when there is silence all around, I prefer to listen to the sound of rain. At that time, the light rain hit the glass and the windowsill, crying like a lover's whisper.
Complaining, it’s like a poet murmuring, more like night bugs frolicking!”
"Haha, I didn't realize that Mr. Qin's level is still so high, and he speaks well!"
"What I said there, I just said casually. What can I say? Xiangzi, you think of me too high. I'm just an ordinary person. I don't have any big ideals. Now I just hope to live a plain life.
"
Zhang Tianhao looked out the window, but his eyes were full of melancholy and loss, as if he had thought of something sad. His mood also became a little lost.
"Why, Mr. Qin was fine just now, but he seems to be in a bad mood now? Is there something on your mind? Do you need me to do anything?"
"It's nothing. I'm just going back to Shanghai soon, so I will inevitably feel a little disappointed and melancholy. After all, I am nostalgic for my hometown, and I don't want to go back, but I can't let go."
"It's human nature, it's almost time now, we should go on the field!" Kono Kouko looked at the time and said with a smile.
"Well, let's continue playing!"
Zhang Tianhao responded, then started to put down his cup, stood up, and followed Kono Kouko to the conference room.
…
Time passed very quickly, and everything became a little calm, as if the whole of Xinjing had returned to its original order, although various things happened every day.
But Zhang Tianhao and the others have been relatively stable during this period of time, and have not done anything out of the ordinary.
After a week of peaceful coexistence with the Japanese, Li Changcheng and his team also returned to the city and set up shop on Gaoshun Road in Nancheng District, which is relatively close to various universities.
Two of them can be considered as store clerks, while the other two can be considered as errands in the surrounding areas, and they are there to respond to the surroundings to prevent anything from happening.
April 30th, the weather is fine, it is a good time to open the door, it is auspicious.
Li Changcheng and his two men directly unveiled the big sign at the door, which read Mingxiang House. It was a teahouse with two floors. It was quite difficult to occupy this place.
As bursts of firecrackers sounded, bursts of smoke rose in front of the door, and passers-by started to pay attention to watch the grand opening of Mingxiang Building.
"Everyone. Everyone, today is the first day the store is open. In order to thank all my friends for coming to support me, all purchases today are 30% off. Everyone, 30% off. In addition, I will give you a small plate of melon seeds."
Li Changcheng clasped his fists and said loudly to all the onlookers who were watching.
As he finished speaking, many people walked into this teahouse one after another, perhaps wanting to try something new or wanting to drink tea.
"Are you the boss here?"
At this time, two policemen came over, looked at Li Changcheng in front of them, and asked loudly.
"It turns out they are two bosses. They are new to the store. I will ask the two bosses to support me a lot in the future. Please support me a lot."
As he said that, he took out a dollar directly from his body and stuffed it into the hand of one of the patrol officers, and said with a smile: "If the two bosses want to drink tea in the future, just come, it's free for both bosses here, you two can see
how?"
"My surname is Li. Boss Li is too polite. From now on, I would like to ask Boss Li for more help in terms of public security here!"
"Please, you two, you just happened to be here, so come and sit inside."
"That's so embarrassing!"
But even though he said this, people had already walked in.
"Waiter, serve some good tea to the two bosses!" As he said that, he shouted loudly to a waiter inside.
"okay!"
When the business was opening here, Zhang Tianhao was sitting in a cloth shop opposite there, watching Li Changcheng opening the business, his mouth just twitching, but he didn't say anything, instead he had someone make a cheongsam.
According to the size he said, it has been finished. I will come over today to see how it looks.
"Well, it's well done. I'm very satisfied. How about this? Can you take this cheongsam to the city hall and hand it over to Miss Kono Koko?" He said as he took out the money and handed it to the boss.
"Sir, no problem, do you need a name?"
"I'll write a card and you can send it too!"
"OK!"
Zhang Tianhao then took out a card from the table, wrote a sentence, signed his name and put it on his clothes.
"Send it over, and the refund fee will be included!"
He looked at the time and saw that it was already half past nine. At this time, it was time for him to go back.
After saying that, he left the place directly, got into his car and drove away.
…
"What, someone robbed a group of Japanese businessmen's goods last night, and all the Japanese guards were killed?" Qian Jun was stunned when he saw what his men had just learned.
"where?"
"On the road leading to Tong Yi, we were ambushed, and there seemed to be two cars of smoke and dirt!"
"Who is so brave? He actually robbed the Japanese of cigarettes. That is the lifeblood of the Kwantung Army and Manchuria!" Qian Jun was also surprised. Even he or Zhang Tianhao wanted to do this here.
I have done this before, but I didn’t dare.
But someone actually took a step ahead of them and took care of the matter directly.
"Damn it, who is so bold? Doesn't this make the Japanese Kwantung Army angry?"
He also had a look of shock on his face, and then he sat there and started thinking about countermeasures. The only thing he could do was to lurk and not take any action.
"By the way, you go down first and don't ask around. This matter has triggered an investigation by the Manchurian Railway and the Kwantung Army. The intensity is much greater than that of the police station and gendarmerie."
"yes!"
He is quite well informed here. At the same time, many Japanese secret service agencies such as Xinjing's Secret Service Section, the Manchuria Railway Investigation Branch, and the Military Police began to move into action.
The energy that exploded at this moment was truly extraordinary, and it was not much weaker than when Zhang Tianhao caused trouble a few years ago.
Although the city was not closed, all major underground black markets and even major opium dens in the city were searched.
Most of them went to the junction between the two places to survey the site. After all, the smoke and soil in the two cars was not a small amount, there were hundreds of kilograms of smoke and soil, and it was just gone.
The Japanese were naturally anxious, as that was their lifeblood, the military expenditure of the Kwantung Army.
However, the whole thing seems calm on the surface, but some gangsters and idle members of gangs can be seen wandering around throughout New Capital City.
The purpose of these people is self-evident. There are even more people outside the city, and many people are looking for them everywhere.
