During this time, Lu Chengzhou came into contact with Gong Qi Yihuan from the Social Affairs Bureau.
Gong Qi Yihuan is an assistant officer of the Social Affairs Bureau, but he is not a soldier. He used to be a ronin.
Letting a ronin serve as the assistant officer of the Social Affairs Bureau shows that Japan is really short of people.
Gong Qi Yihuan does have a plan to raise one million yuan to buy millet from Shanxi.
Gong Qi Yihuan's plan only allows ten businessmen to participate, and each businessman's stock capital cannot be less than 50,000.
He doesn't want to expand the scope, he just wants to cooperate with truly capable people.
Although he set a threshold of 50,000 yuan, in fact everyone will exceed this amount.
Gong Qi Yihuan even believed that only five people could raise one million yuan.
Huang Xiaoan only has 30,000 yuan, but he wants to participate in this wealth journey.
However, Lu Chengzhou and Gong Qi Yihuan had just come into contact, and they were not yet at the stage where they could discuss plans to purchase rice.
In the evening, Lu Chengzhou originally wanted to ask Gong Qi Yihuan for a drink, but with the current situation in Haigu, it was difficult to find a place where he could calm down and drink.
After Lu Chengzhou got on the boat, he was surprised when he heard Zhang Baotou's words.
"Dadong Company is seizing labor?" Lu Chengzhou said in surprise, but as soon as he finished speaking, he understood immediately.
Dadong Company was established under the instruction of Wen Peishi, who always believed that serving the Japanese was his duty.
If Dadong Company is really here to provide employment opportunities, that would be really weird.
Lu Chengzhou was still thinking that these people in Haigu City finally did something.
"It's said to be job placement, but in fact it's just hard work. If you don't get what you want, you will lose your life." Zhang Baotou sighed.
He didn't tell the story about Zhu Biao. The reason why he told Lu Chengzhou about Dadong Company was to see Lu Chengzhou's attitude.
Although he helped Lu Chengzhou do many things, he never helped Lu Chengzhou do anything to betray his country and seek glory.
Otherwise, he would not have found out that Lu Chengzhou was a Japanese spy.
"Who did you listen to?" Lu Chengzhou asked casually, but he subconsciously took out his cigarette.
"I also heard what others said." Zhang Baotou said nervously.
Lu Chengzhou didn't ask again, Zhang Baotou obviously didn't want to tell him.
It is really difficult for ordinary people to hide their emotions.
In the evening, after Zhang Baotou went back, he went to Zhu Biao's residence, and Zhang Baotou temporarily rented a room for him.
"I brought you two kilograms of steamed buns and pork head meat." Zhang Baotou hadn't tasted meat for a long time.
"Oh my god, I've already smelled the fragrance." Zhu Biao almost rushed forward and snatched the paper bag from Zhang Baotou's hand.
He stuffed almost the entire bun into his mouth.
"I told Lu Chengzhou about Dadong Company." Zhang Baotou took out his cigarette and said slowly.
"What...what did you tell...him for?" Zhu Biao said in surprise when he heard Zhang Baotou's words with his mouth full of things.
"Don't worry, I didn't say anything about you." Zhang Baotou said quickly. He and Zhu Biao were old friends, so naturally he would not talk about Zhu Biao to Lu Chengzhou.
"You have to be careful with Lu Chengzhou. If he tries to trick you, don't talk nonsense." Zhu Biao warned.
After Lu Chengzhou returned home, he did not sleep immediately. What Zhang Baotou told him surprised him.
It can be said that the Japanese did everything they could to obtain forced labor, and Wen Peishi also tried every means to flatter the Japanese.
Originally, Lu Chengzhou thought that Wen Peishi was just sending people to other places to evacuate the refugees, thus solving Haigu's problem in disguise.
Who would have thought that Wen Peishi was trying to deceive refugees into working as laborers.
The next morning, Lu Chengzhou went to No. 11 Red Wall Road and assigned Ma Yuzhen a new task to find out the truth about Dadong Company.
"According to investigations, Dadong Company deceived mature men from Haigu into working as laborers in the name of resettling refugees and helping people find jobs. If this really happens, we must stop it in time and disclose the truth to the public." Lu Chengzhou Zhengse
say.
"Don't Dadong Company belong to the Flood Relief Society?" Ma Yuzhen said in surprise.
"It is precisely because of the pretense of relief that people are easily fooled." Lu Chengzhou said thoughtfully.
"I will find out as soon as possible." Ma Yuzhen said. She is a reporter from Yongbao and the deputy leader of the intelligence team of Haigu Station. It is really easy to find out about this matter.
"You must do it as soon as possible. I don't know how many people will be deceived by them every day." Lu Chengzhou warned.
These people were deceived into working as laborers and may never come back.
"I will do it as soon as possible." Ma Yuzhen said, no matter which side you stand on this matter, you should do your best.
She believed that if the organization knew about this matter, they would definitely make every effort to investigate it.
After leaving No. 11 Red Wall Road, Lu Chengzhou went to the French Concession along Yingkou Road. He was looking for a suitable place to invite Gong Qi Yihuan to dinner.
There are many hotels and restaurants in the British and French Concessions, but not many can still operate normally during floods.
When Lu Chengzhou's boat arrived at the corner of No. 21 Road in the French Concession, he suddenly saw Detai Matheson.
Upstairs of Detai Foreign Trade Co., Ltd. is the Dahua Hotel. This hotel is located on the top floor. Such water depth will not affect the business.
Lu Chengzhou went to ask specifically and found that the Dahua Hotel was indeed open.
After returning to the military police unit, Lu Chengzhou went to find Ishida Qiuo and wanted to ask him to have dinner at the Dahua Hotel at noon.
"Why did you suddenly go to the French Concession to eat?" Ishida Qiuo said with some surprise.
"The Dahua Hotel is located above Detai Foreign Trade Co., Ltd. Although you have to take a boat there, it does not affect your meal." Lu Chengzhou explained.
"It's costing you money." Ishida Qiuo knew that the Majestic Hotel is very famous, not only for its good taste and good environment, but also for its very expensive price.
"At noon, I would like to make an appointment with Gong Qi Yihuan, the assistant officer of the Social Affairs Bureau. Do you have any objections?" Lu Chengzhou asked.
Even if Ishida Qiuo objects, for him, it is just an extra meal.
The consumption at Dahua Hotel is indeed very expensive, but he still won't worry about it.
"Of course." Ishida Akio said.
Ishida Akio nodded, and Lu Chengzhou made an appointment with Gong Qi Yihuan.
In the name of Ishida Qiuo, Gong Qi Yihuan readily agreed.
Gong Qi Yihuan was just a ronin. If the Japanese army had not occupied Haigu and lacked manpower, he would not have been qualified to be an assistant officer in the Social Affairs Bureau.
Akio Ishida was an imperial soldier and a member of the military police unit, and Gong Qi Yihuan was under the supervision of the military police unit.
Gong Qi Yihuan also hopes to have a good relationship with the military police.
This was Lu Chengzhou's first official contact with Gong Qi Yihuan. After having a meal, it would be much more convenient to contact him again.
When they first met, Lu Chengzhou didn't prepare anything for Gong Qi Yihuan, but after spending more than an hour with Gong Qi Yihuan, he discovered that Gong Qi Yihuan was actually a greedy person.
