To be honest, Yu Peichen had a very good impression of Zhou Hexuan.m.
Zhou Hexuan was extremely knowledgeable, handsome, and a well-known patriotic scholar. Even foreigners praised him. Not only that, Zhou Hexuan also spent his own money to build many Hope Primary Schools, support college students to study abroad, and buy American corn to provide relief to the people.
.
Anyone who can do any of these actions is enough to win the respect of the world.
What's more, Zhou Hexuan also sympathized with the Communist Party and was willing to provide information to the Communist Party. It was easy for Yu Peichen to regard him as "one of his own."
But the problem now is that this "own person" lives in a luxurious garden house and has several concubines at home, which instantly destroyed the beautiful image Yu Peichen had built in his heart.
At about 2:30 in the afternoon, Zhou Hexuan finished writing a novel plot and went downstairs to the reception room: "Miss Yu, I've been waiting for a long time."
"Mr. Zhou," Yu Peichen kept Nan Hanchen's instructions in mind and said with a smile without showing any dissatisfaction, "these are invitation letters sent to the newspaper office, as well as letters from some scholars."
Zhou Hexuan took it, looked at it casually, and threw it away: "Miss Yu, important letters are sent directly to my home. As for those sent to the newspaper office, you can basically ignore them. For example, the invitation letter just now, inviting me
There is really no need to reply if you join a literary club in Suzhou."
Yu Peichen asked: "What about the letters from these scholars? One of them was sent by a professor from Guanghua University."
Zhou Hexuan opened the letter mentioned by Yu Peichen. After reading it, he laughed and said: "A professor came out of nowhere and said he wanted to discuss historical academic issues with me. The views he stated in the letter were all from the European Second World.
I really have no interest in talking nonsense to him about the clichés from thirty years ago. If I have that leisure, I might as well write a few hundred words of novel. This person’s letter is not so much an academic discussion as it is an attempt to talk nonsense to me.
If you have a good relationship, you can use my reply letters to deceive you in the future."
"So that's it." Yu Peichen was dubious.
Zhou Hexuan said: "Miss Yu, I am currently writing two novels at the same time. In addition to the other two novels, there is also one that is serialized in a British magazine. And I also need to write some critical articles, which will be contributed to and. So my
Time is precious, you can just take care of those unnecessary correspondence yourself."
Yu Peichen said worriedly: "I'm afraid that I can't handle it well and delay Mr. Zhou's business."
Zhou Hexuan said: "Then if you are not sure, just come to me. Just take care of ordinary little things by yourself."
"Okay." Yu Peichen said.
Zhou Hexuan took out a piece of paper and said, "Take this."
Yu Peichen opened the note and looked at it carefully, and found that there were a few lines of English written on it, which were the contact address of someone in the UK. She asked in confusion: "Mr. Zhou, whose contact information is this?"
"Onis, the general manager of the British Royal Pharmaceutical Company," Zhou Hexuan said with a smile, "sulfa drugs are produced by this company."
Yu Peichen was immediately overjoyed: "Is it really a sulfonamide drug?"
Zhou Hexuan nodded and said: "The British Royal Pharmaceutical Company has just put two new assembly lines into production, and the output of sulfonamides has been greatly increased, so it has decided to increase shipments to Asia. If you need it, you can send someone to London to find Ornis directly.
He said that because I introduced him, he could get a long-term and stable supply of sulfa. As for the price of the drug, I could offer a slight discount."
"Thank you, Mr. Zhou!" Yu Peichen suddenly felt that Zhou Hexuan was much more pleasing to the eye, and the previous bad impression was greatly improved.
Zhou Hexuan said: "Okay, there is nothing else to do today, you can go and do your own thing."
Yu Peichen asked: "Mr. Zhou, am I your secretary, am I only responsible for handling the work at the newspaper office? Do you need my help with your article manuscripts, sending and receiving letters, etc.?"
"Ms. Cui Huifu, have you met her just now?" Zhou Hexuan said with a smile, "She is also doing the work of sorting out articles and manuscripts and sending and receiving personal letters, so I don't need to trouble you. You can just look after the newspaper office.
."
These things used to be Liao Yaquan's job, but when Liao Yaquan was pregnant, Cui Huifu took over. So Cui Huifu is not only the housekeeper, but also Zhou Hexuan's personal secretary. Her work efficiency is much higher than Liao Yaquan.
Yu Peichen was a little disappointed after hearing this, because the newspaper office was full of trivial matters and she couldn't get close to Zhou Hexuan at all times. This made it difficult for her to carry out the work assigned to her by the organization.
Yu Peichen asked again: "Can I come here often?"
"Of course it's no problem," Zhou Hexuan said with a smile, "You can communicate more with Miss Cui to facilitate your future work cooperation. She is very good at what she does, and you can learn from her, which is good for you."
Seeing that the two had finished talking, Cui Huifu came over with a telegram and said: "The telegraph office just sent it, asking you to attend the Buddha Bathing Festival at Nanputuo Temple in Xiamen."
Zhou Hexuan said speechlessly: "What do a group of monks ask me to do? It's so far away from Xiamen, so I won't go!"
Cui Huifu's expression was a little strange: "The ones who sent the telegram were Master Hongyi and Lu Bicheng. Lu Bicheng was still telling you about old times in the telegram."
No wonder Cui Huifu acted unnaturally. She was as famous as Lu Bicheng, so there was naturally some competition between the two women.
Zhou Hexuan felt quite strange that Lu Bicheng should have practiced Buddhism in Europe. Last time he was fooled by Zhou Hexuan in the Netherlands, but he actually returned to China and seemed to be staying with Li Shutong to practice Buddhism.
To be honest, Zhou Hexuan really wanted to meet Li Shutong, Master Hongyi's famous "Beside the Changting Pavilion, Beside the Ancient Road", and he was indeed a legendary figure of the Republic of China.
Unfortunately, Xiamen was too far away, so Zhou Hexuan didn't want to travel all the way to celebrate Buddha's birthday with the monks.
Choi Hye-moo asked: "How should I reply to the other party?"
Zhou Hexuan thought for a while and said: "I won't reply for now. I may go to the south in the near future. It's also okay to go to Xiamen on the way."
"Okay then." Cui Huifu said.
Zhou Hexuan picked up the newspaper on the coffee table, looked at the headlines of the international section, and then put it down helplessly.
Just yesterday, Japan's Minister of Foreign Affairs and Intelligence, Eiji Amaha, issued the famous "Amaha Statement." The content of the statement can be roughly summarized as follows: Japan is China's protectorate, Japan has the responsibility to protect China, and Japan also has the responsibility to maintain the order of East Asia.
Responsibility. If China unites with Western powers to put pressure on Japan, Japan will take severe crackdowns; if the powers secretly help China fight against Japan, even if it is financial and technical assistance, Japan will strongly oppose it.
In Zhou Hexuan's view, this statement revealed four important pieces of information.
First, the Japanese military has completely controlled the foreign affairs department, and the Japanese cabinet has become the mouthpiece of the military.
Second, this statement hides the policy of "Co-Prosperity in Greater East Asia". Japan not only intends to occupy all of China, but also sets its sights on the entire East Asia.
Third, Japan is rejecting Western powers and wants to monopolize its special interests in China.
Fourth, Japan is in a very embarrassing situation diplomatically, and has seemingly broken up with the European and American powers.
Zhou Hexuan said to Peichen: "You go back first. I want to write a review article on the 'Tianyu Statement'. Remember to pick up the manuscript tomorrow morning and ask Editor Wang to put this article in the next issue of the magazine."
