Zhang Leyi knocked on the door and walked into Zhou Hexuan's office, smiling and saying: "Have a rest, it's time to eat."
"Come here," Zhou Hexuan took out a letter and said, "This is the letter of introduction written by me. You give it to Liao Yaquan... Oh, that's the female student from Shandong."
Zhang Leyi took the letter and went out, and soon came in with Liao Yaquan and said, "Brother Zhou, she refused to leave. She said she wanted to thank you in person."
"Thank you, Mr. Zhou," Liao Yaquan stood up from behind Zhang Leyi, handed over a piece of manuscript paper and said, "Mr. Zhou, this is the notice I wrote just now, please take a look."
Zhou Hexuan took it and took a look, and found that Liao Yaquan's handwriting was beautiful, but his literary talent was only passable. He smiled and said: "Put it here with me, I will ask "Ta Kung Pao" to publish it tomorrow, and I also wish you an early reunion with your relatives. By the way,
You take the letter of introduction and go directly to the Supervisory Office. There is a Haihe River Cleaning Committee there, and they will help you arrange work."
"Great, then when should I go?" Liao Yaquan asked.
"It's fine today and tomorrow," Zhou Hexuan took out two big dollars, "If you're short of money, I'll lend you some first and you can find a hotel to stay in tonight."
Liao Yaquan was even more happy that she could use the excuse of paying back the money to approach Zhou Hexuan in the future. She quickly accepted the silver coins and said, "Mr. Zhou, I'll leave first."
"Go ahead and work hard." Zhou Hexuan encouraged.
Liao Yaquan left the newspaper office happily. Zhang Leyi looked at her back and frowned: "I always feel that something is wrong with this female student."
"What's wrong?" Zhou Hexuan asked.
"I don't know, it's a bit strange anyway." Zhang Leyi said.
Zhou Hexuan hugged Zhang Leyi's slender waist and joked: "Are you jealous?"
"No," Zhang Leyi recalled. "When I communicated with her just now, I found that she spoke generously and behaved well. She looked like a young lady from a wealthy family, not like a poor female student."
Zhou Hexuan smiled and said: "It's normal. Progressive female students with higher education are naturally different from ordinary women."
"Maybe I'm overthinking it," Zhang Leyi said.
After being reminded by Zhang Leyi, Zhou Hexuan actually felt that something was wrong. But he couldn't tell what was wrong. He could only vaguely feel that there was something wrong.
It can only be said that Liao Yaquan is still too young. This is her first mission after graduating from spy school. She acted too eagerly and deliberately, not as natural as a senior spy. But her acting skills are really good, and she can express various emotions
Her expressions and facial expressions are so lifelike that she can be called a movie queen.
Zhou Hexuan didn't think about Liao Yaquan anymore. He walked to the editorial hall and shouted: "It's time to eat!"
Before Li Shoumin, Shen Congwen and others responded, an old man suddenly walked in from outside the door and said with a playful smile: "Have you eaten? Then I came just in time. Who is treating you at noon today?"
Everyone looked over in surprise, not knowing who it was.
Only Zhou Hexuan greeted him happily and said, "Mr. Taiyan, why are you here in Tianjin?"
Zhang Taiyan directly threw a scroll over and said with a smile: "I didn't have anything to eat when I stayed in Shanghai, so I came to the north to catch the autumn wind. I know you like to ask for words everywhere, so I will give you this set of words. Hurry up and get me something delicious."
"
"No problem, you tell me what you want to eat!" Zhou Hexuan took the scroll and said happily, Zhang Taiyan's words are not easy to ask for.
Ever since President Chang went on a killing spree in Shanghai, Zhang Taiyan has expressed strong dissatisfaction, publicly expressed his opposition to the Nanjing National Government, and called himself a "remnant of the Republic of China." Later, the Nanjing authorities announced a list of 66 "wanted reactionary academic leaders", and Zhang Taiyan ranked first.
Not only was he wanted, but his two properties in Shanghai were also confiscated.
Zhang Taiyan hid in the Japanese hospital in the Shanghai Concession for a while, then entrusted his wife to a friend to take care of him. He took a boat to the north to meet friends, and when passing by Tianjin, he stopped by Zhou Hexuan to catch up with him.
"It's Mr. Taiyan!"
Zhang Taiyan's reputation was so great that not only Shen Congwen and Li Shoumin were extremely surprised, but even Zhu Xiang and Zheng Zhengyin hurriedly came forward to pay their respects.
Everyone came to the restaurant, and Zhou Hexuan ordered a table full of delicious dishes. Zhang Taiyan was not satisfied and asked the waiter: "Do you have stinky tofu here? The smellier, the better."
"Ah?" The store clerk was a little confused, and then said with a wry smile, "To be honest with this old gentleman, our store really doesn't have stinky tofu."
Zhang Taiyan said: "What about other smelly things?"
The shop assistant was also a wonderful person and joked: "I can help you look through the rancid bucket, maybe I can find a few rotten eggs."
"Haha," Zhang Taiyan laughed and cursed, "Get out!"
Zhou Hexuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He took out a piece of gold and said to the shop assistant: "Go and help the old man find some stinky tofu. They are always sold in Tianjin. The rest of the money is yours."
"Okay, just wait." The store clerk said happily.
Zhang Taiyan was overjoyed and said with a grin: "Damn it, it's said that money can make the world go round. Buying a few pieces of stinky tofu for a piece of ocean will cost you a lot."
"Money is a bastard, you can still make money if you use it." Zhou Hexuan said proudly.
"Haha, this is a good saying, you can drink it with wine," Zhang Taiyan raised his glass and drank it all in one gulp. After finishing the drink, he said, "I read your boy's "The Dog Officer" and it was quite interesting. Don't you have the manuscript yet? Read the series. I’m just too lazy to wait.”
Zhou Hexuan said: "I have written more than 100,000 words. I will give it to you when I get back."
"That's good," Zhang Taiyan asked again, "What's the final outcome?"
Zhou Hexuan said: "That dog was skinned and eaten by a soldier. It was a soldier under his son."
Zhang Taiyan thought for a moment, waved his hand and said: "No, no, this ending is not strong. It's best to change it."
Zhou Hexuan thought for a moment and said: "It would be better to do this. When the protagonist wakes up, he realizes that it was all a dream. Then he decided to change his ways and do good things for the people. However, he was repeatedly excluded and framed by his colleagues. Even the wealthy businessmen who had supported him before Those who opposed him were eventually shot as rebels."
"This is good!" Everyone praised.
After three rounds of drinking, the waiter finally brought the stinky tofu, and everyone backed down.
Only Zhang Taiyan looked ecstatic, picked up a piece, threw it into his mouth, tasted it carefully, and said: "Gu Hongming has returned to China and lives in Peiping. Do you want to meet Xiao Zhou?"
"That's good. I've long wanted to see Mr. Gu's style." Zhou Hexuan said happily.
Zhang Taiyan said: "That old guy likes fame and wealth, and likes to be flattered. Buy something valuable as a gift, but it shouldn't be too tacky. Give him a few tall hats, and I'll make sure he has piles of calligraphy written for you in ten or eight pairs."
Zhou Hexuan sweated furiously. Has his reputation for being fond of asking for words spread so loudly?
Zhang Taiyan finished a few pieces of stinky tofu and suddenly whispered: "Boy, you are in danger. The "Tanaka Memorial" has caused too much trouble. Based on my understanding of the Japanese, they will definitely come to trouble you. I'm here this time From the north, I’m just reminding you!”
"Thank you for your concern, sir." Zhou Hexuan was very touched. He and Zhang Taiyan had only met each other once, but the other party actually came to Tianjin to warn him. Where can he find such a friend?
Suddenly, Zhou Hexuan thought of the female student named Liao Yaquan. Isn't that the alias of Japan's number one female spy, Yunko Minami!
Zhou Hexuan was so shocked that he broke into a cold sweat.8
