The arms business has completely collapsed! Mrs. Hong can't buy the guns to lead the team! Director Zhai can't make up for the gap in military pay! This is the most helpless and distressing thing for him!
Also, Jiang Dachen’s attempt to get Boss Zhang to join the team could not be realized! These days, no one will invest easily, even with Luan Shigui as a guarantee!
The theft case of the city government's archives also went unsolved. Geng Jizhi died at the hands of unknown persons. Wang Changchun hid in Zhang Mansion, and no one dared to touch him.
Team leader Chen once gritted his teeth and said: "Boss Zhang wants to join the Japanese! Wang Changchun is just a thread!"
He believed that Team Leader Chen was right, at least it was possible! This Boss Zhang was far worse in style than Boss Du! He even wanted to join the Japanese! It was simply shameless!
When Gui Longhai was walking and turning Shangbang Road, he suddenly discovered a strange situation, which surprised him.
The streets were full of young students and citizens collecting donations. They were in small groups, holding cardboard boxes in their arms and holding a small flag in their hands, which read: "It is the responsibility of every man to fight the war and save the nation."
When several students saw him, they rushed over and gathered around him, saying with a smile: "Brother Gui, please donate some money for the Anti-Japanese War. Now the people all over the country are fighting the War, and the soldiers have to go to the front to fight the Japanese. I would like to donate a little."
Please support us.”
People were asking for donations by name, how could Gui Longhai refuse?
He smiled and asked: "How much do you want me to donate? Do you have an amount?"
A female student said: "Donating one cent is not too little, and donating one yuan is not too much. If you don't have any money with you today, it's okay to donate one or two cents."
The students all laughed happily and said, "Elder Guike has money, so he must donate at least one yuan."
Gui Longhai rummaged around for a while and found a five-yuan bill.
He held up the money and said, "Can you find it? How many banknotes are there in the box?"
The female student opened the box and said, "I'm looking forward to cutting it. I only have a few cents. I can't find your big bills, so I'll put some inside for cutting. Thank you on behalf of the frontline soldiers."
Gui Longhai still held up the money and said, "It's okay to put it in. May I ask? Who organized your donation?"
The female student said: "It was organized by the Allah Student Union, and we are all spontaneously fighting. Hey, hey, let us in quickly, so we can fight?"
Gui Longhai smiled and put the five yuan into their box.
He thought to himself, maybe it's not spontaneous, right? He looked at the street, and everywhere there were groups of students collecting donations, and even people who looked like housewives or employees.
He had a judgment in his heart that only an organization like Dr. Fu could accomplish this kind of thing.
He thought that it would be beneficial for the people of Shanghai to donate a small amount to the war of resistance.
Thinking of this, he decided to skip breakfast and go back to the station first.
Get into the director's car today. He has at least three places to go today.
One is Yali Bar. Let’s look for Takahashi again. We didn’t find him yesterday. Isn’t he hiding? The Japanese are scoundrels and don’t keep their word. It’s really abominable!
The other is to go to Qiaojiaong and see what is going on with Team Leader Chen and the others. Have they interrogated the old beggar? The most important thing is, what is the result of the "Demon Sword Project"?
The third step is to go to Gongji Hospital to find Dr. Fu. To find Dr. Fu, that can only be done after going to Qiaojia. He knows this sequence.
He turned from Fangbang Road onto Henan Road and walked southward, returning to the Nanshi Branch.

When Gui Longhai walked into Luan Shigui's office, he found that he was looking at him with a strange look in his eyes, and even a little smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He was very strange, so he sat down opposite Luan Shigui and looked at him.
Luan Shigui looked at him for a minute and then said as if he was revealing a treasure: "Long Hai, Ajuan came last night."
Gui Longhai hadn't turned around yet and asked casually: "What's the matter, do you still want money?"
Luan Shigui laughed, his whole body trembling with laughter, "Long Hai, that's not true. Ajuan said she wanted to keep getting along with me. She told me that I was the best person she had ever seen. To be honest with you. ,She was as docile as a kitten last night."
After he said this, he chuckled again, looking very proud of himself.
Gui Longhai understood, He Baotian is dead, Geng Jizhi is dead too! Tian Ajuan has no backer! If she doesn't return to Luan Shigui, how will she survive in the future! This bitch! As cheap as you want!
He said: "Director, what's wrong with you, do you still want her? A few days ago, she wanted to blackmail you! Have you forgotten?"
Luan Shigui smiled a little awkwardly, "Long Hai, the situation has changed a bit, and people will change too. You think I am a person like this, what else can you ask for? With a kitten-like woman in my arms, That’s it.”
Gui Longhai thought about it and realized that this was also the case. Besides, as long as Luan Shigui liked it, that was fine.
He said: "As long as she stops causing trouble for you, that's fine."
Luan Shigui nodded, but his eyes only looked at his own hands, scratching back and forth on the table.
After a moment, he reluctantly said: "Long Hai, Juhua's father is still in a little trouble. He called me just now and asked me how my fundraising was going. Oh, look, look, where am I raising money now? You have to invest! What’s the current situation? You all know it! It’s true!”
Gui Longhai understood that he had to solve the problem of Director Luan and his father-in-law.
He said: "Okay, I understand. Give me the car keys and I'll go talk to Chairman Jiang."
Luan Shigui opened his palm and threw his car key over. It could be seen that he had already prepared it.
In this way, Gui Longhai had to change his plan and drove to Longda Textile Company on Jungong Road again.

Gui Longhai walked into the little red building again and stepped into Jiang Dachen's office.
The person sitting in the outer room was no longer He Baotian, but a middle-aged woman with snow-white skin.
She looked at Gui Longhai in shock and asked, "Who are you? What are you doing?"
Gui Longhai said: "I'm looking for Chairman Jiang."
"Have you made an appointment? It's hard to go see someone without an appointment. Do you know the rules?" the middle-aged woman said exaggeratedly.
"Just tell him that I am Gui Longhai. Go ahead and tell him!" Gui Longhai said impatiently.
The middle-aged woman puffed her lips and looked at him again and again before getting up and entering the back room.
After a moment, she opened the door and said, "Come in, please. It can't be too long. Do you know the rules?"
Gui Longhai ignored her, went straight into the back room, and closed the door for her.
When Jiang Dachen saw Gui Longhai, he still followed his old rules. He got up and went to the corner, lit his gas stove, boiled a pot of water, and made him a cup of coffee. Then he sat down and looked at him with doubts.
Gui Longhai looked at the coffee in front of him, wondering if he was in the mood to drink it.
He said: "Chairman Jiang, you are still concerned about Boss Zhang's investment, right? As for this matter, if you want to ask Boss Zhang to buy shares, you must first raise funds. However, under the current situation, you may not be able to raise funds. Director Luan also wants to
I tried many methods and asked many people to help me, but it still didn’t work. The situation is not good!"
He looked at Jiang Dachen with a heavy expression, hoping that he could understand the current situation.
Gui Longhai understood that he did not understand the current situation at all and only cared about his Longda Textile Company.
He whispered: "Chairman Jiang, there is a war in Shanghai! We must fight!"
Unexpectedly, Jiang Dachen said: "I have experienced the war in Shanghai, you don't need to scare me with this! I have seen the Battle of Songhu in 1932! Some houses were indeed bombed. Do they want to bomb factories again?"
Even in a war, business has to be done! The Japanese also have to do business!"
Gui Longhai understood that this Jiang Dachen was a very stubborn person who always tried to get the best of him in everything.
He said: "Let's put the matter of war aside for a while. I think you can also put it aside for a while if you want to raise funds to ask Boss Zhang to become a shareholder."
Jiang Dachen stared at him, "Why? I can't delay my affairs!"
Gui Longhai could only say: "In fact, it can be dragged over. Think about it, He Baotian is dead, and Geng Jizhi of the municipal government is also dead. Now no one will stab Longda, right? As for those shareholders
, now everyone’s attention is focused on the war in Shanghai, and no one can care about Longda’s operating conditions. Finally, is Boss Zhang really eager to buy shares? I’m afraid not necessarily. So, just hold off.
No one will make things difficult for you, do you think this is true?"
Jiang Dachen looked at him in disbelief and said nothing.
Gui Longhai continued: "When the war in Shanghai is over and Shanghai is in ruins, there will probably be a shortage of supplies, right? Maybe your business will be easier. Do you think this is true?"
Jiang Dachen looked at him with a very puzzled look, as if he was weighing what he said.
"Can you delay it for a while?" he said.
Gui Longhai said: "I think it's okay. What can those shareholders and Boss Zhang do to you?"
Jiang Dachen seemed to be tempted, and finally asked: "When will the war start in Shanghai? I'm afraid it won't start, right?"
Gui Longhai stretched his head forward and whispered in a very serious tone: "Chairman Jiang, there must be a war in Shanghai! And, I estimate, it may be this month! Just wait and see!"
At this time, Jiang Dachen stopped talking and seemed to be thinking about Gui Longhai's words.
Seeing that he was moved, Gui Longhai hurriedly said: "Chairman Jiang, please think about it first. If you don't understand something, please call me, okay? Let me tell you, I often do this these days.
Having dealt with people in the military, I know a little bit about this situation. Just wait and see and then make a decision."
Gui Longhai finally comforted Jiang Dachen and breathed a sigh of relief.
In this way, he drove to Yali Bar. He hoped to find Gao Qiao.

It was around ten o'clock in the morning, and there was not a single customer in the bar.
The tables and chairs in the store are neat and the floor is clean. It has obviously been cleaned recently.
