"Tongwen Yuan? There is a Tongwen Yuan in Shanghai, but I have never heard of it in Nanjing." Geng Chaozhong frowned slightly.
"Haha, Mr. Zhou doesn't know something. Shanghai Tongwen School was moved from Nanjing. This Tongwen School is one of the earliest schools established by Japan in China! Regarding your situation, it is also Shanghai Tongwen School.
My colleague provided it to me, otherwise, how could I possibly know you so clearly, Mr. Zhou?" Suzuki laughed.
"I see, this is because I am ignorant," Geng Chaozhong suddenly realized, but then his expression changed and he said angrily: "Your school actually suspected that I was a spy and secretly investigated me?!"
"Jun Zhou, you are worrying too much!"
Seeing that Geng Chaozhong looked unhappy, Suzuki quickly shook his hand and said sincerely:
"As you know, since the signing of the Shanghai-Songsong Agreement, the number of students from your country studying in our country has increased greatly, especially this year. In addition to the overseas students and scholars sent by the government and selected by the government, there are as many as 10,000 students studying in our country. So many
People, and there have been some minor frictions between your country and China, so it is reasonable for our country to make a distinction. I just went to a meeting, and this is what the Ministry of Education said."
"Oh." Geng Chaozhong's face softened a little, but it was obvious that his anger still lingered.
Suzuki shook his head, sighed, poured a cup of tea for Geng Chaozhong himself, and said with a wry smile:
"Mr. Zhou, think about it. Since I told you this, it obviously proves that I, Suzuki, am aboveboard. In fact, we are helpless in response to the orders of the Military Department and the Ministry of Education. As an education institution, what secrets do we have?
But think about it, how can we not obey the orders of the military?"
"Then," Geng Chaozhong pondered, "since it is an order from the military, it is not easy for Zhou to say anything. But when Mr. Suzuki told me this, does it mean that he has some special care for me?"
"Yes," Suzuki nodded, "The Ministry of Education has informed us that people from your country who come to our school for study and exchange must be informed in advance that it is best to only move around the campus and not to go to some sensitive places, otherwise
, I'm afraid I will be deported if there is any inconvenience, please forgive me for this, Mr. Zhou."
"Can't we even go to Mount Fuji?" Geng Chaozhong asked angrily.
"Of course, of course," Vice President Suzuki nodded quickly, "but when you go out, it's best to ask students from our school to accompany you. This can reduce a lot of unnecessary trouble. But don't mind it.
It was definitely not Suzuki’s intention, and it was really a helpless move. You must know that this order from the Military and Education Ministry not only brought trouble to Mr. Zhou, but also brought more trouble to us. Suzuki really had no choice but to
Please take care of me, Mr. Zhou!"
After saying that, Suzuki stood up and bowed deeply to Geng Chaozhong.
Suzuki, as the academic director of the school, was only sixty years old, and was much higher than Geng Chaozhong in terms of official position and seniority. He actually gave such a gift. Geng Chaozhong couldn't help but be a little touched, and he quickly stood up and returned the gift:
"Mr. Suzuki's words are serious. Mr. Zhou is upright and comes to your country only to study. He will never do anything to harm the diplomatic relations between our two countries. Mr. Suzuki can rest assured!"
Suzuki saw Geng Chaozhong's serious face, finally showed a smile on his lips, and said sincerely:
"Of course I trust Mr. Zhou. What's more, Mr. Zhou is a well-known scholar in Shanghai and Nanjing. How can he be one of those stupid people? The reason why I candidly explain to Mr. Zhou today is because I am afraid of what might happen in the future.
Misunderstandings can easily cause Mr. Zhou to misunderstand our Tokyo Normal School. I can guarantee that our school has always been devoted to education and has never participated in politics. Everything is done to cope with the orders of the military. In the future, please ask Mr. Zhou
Please be considerate of me, Jun!"
After saying that, he bowed ninety degrees again.
Geng Chaozhong was a little tired. The Japanese red tape was really a headache, but as the locals did, he had to bow again and return the favor. After a while of politeness, the two finally took their seats and settled down.
After chatting for a while, Suzuki finally served tea to see the guests off and said:
"Mr. Zhou, since you and I understand each other, I will not keep you here. Mr. Zhou has just arrived in Tokyo and must be very tired. I will ask Odagiri-kun to arrange accommodation for you now. If you need anything in the future,
You can tell Odagiri-kun as much as you want, and he will definitely prepare everything for you."
"Then thank you, Deputy Commander Suzuki. I will take my leave." Geng Chaozhong quickly stood up and said goodbye.
............
Under the attentive care of Odagiri Jiro, Geng Chaozhong was soon arranged to a two-story dormitory building east of the school and moved into a single dormitory of about ten square meters - this was also because of Geng Chaozhong's
As a scholar, if you were another international student, you would be sharing a room with four people, which would not be such a privilege.
However, one disadvantage of this dormitory is that men and women live in mixed rooms, and there are many young girls in Japanese-style miniskirts coming and going in the corridors, which makes Geng Chaozhong look somewhat embarrassed.
After Odagiri said goodbye and left, Geng Chaozhong could finally lie in bed and think quietly about everything that happened today.
Tongwen Academy!
Of course Geng Chaozhong knew that this was the first junior college established by the Japanese in China. It was first established in Nanjing, but it was moved to Shanghai due to the Boxer Rebellion and was renamed "East Asia Tongwen College". However, this school is not just a college.
The university is so simple. It is a Japanese talent training institution in China. The focus is to cultivate a group of Chinese intellectuals who "know China and love Japan" and advocate for Japan's interests in China. And many of the students in this school have become Japanese
The senior spies in China can be said to be a spy base set up by the Japanese in China!
Fortunately, I have already assumed the identity of "Zhou Xuanhe" as a professor at Jinling Women's University, and I am not afraid of the Tongwen Academy investigation. This is one of the reasons why the acting boss chose me to come to Japan. If I were to come to Japan as another spy, I am afraid that he would not be able to do it.
However, Japan strictly censors it.
However, Japan is an industrial society after all, and its level of social management and population management is much higher than that of China. Now that the two countries have "frictions" over the issue of North China's autonomy, they must be wary of themselves as so-called "scholars." Just now
The attitude of Deputy Suzuki said it all.
The top priority is to get in touch with Yun Wei as soon as possible. At the same time, the acting boss should have already passed on the news of his arrival in Japan to the Special High School!
After a moment of silence, Geng Chaozhong lay on the bed fully clothed, planning to take a nap - there were still two hours until noon, just in time to catch up on some sleep. Later Odagirijiro would arrange for a student to come over and accompany him to have lunch.
