Cheng Qianfan took off his sunglasses and looked at Gu Xinrui and Tang Xiaoye in surprise.
He looked surprised at how these two people got together.
"You two, what's going on?" Cheng Qianfan stepped forward and asked with a cold face.
Tang Xiaoye stepped forward and called out uneasily, "Brother Qianfan."
"Asking you." Cheng Qianfan ignored Tang Xiaoye and stared at Gu Xinrui with a gloomy gaze.
"Didn't you see it?" Gu Xinrui said with a smile, "I am pursuing Miss Tang now."
"I disagree." Cheng Qianfan shook his head.
"Brother Qianfan." Tang Xiaoye said with an angry look on his face, "I don't want you to interfere with my affairs."
Cheng Qianfan still ignored Tang Xiaoye. He frowned and said to Gu Xinrui, "Stay away from her."
"I thought we were good friends and you would bless me." Gu Xinrui's face darkened and he frowned.
"You two are not suitable for each other." Cheng Qianfan said.
"I think it's quite appropriate." Gu Xinrui said without giving in, "Qianfan, I have something to say beforehand. Xiaoye and I are in a free relationship. You can't beat the couple."
"I will discuss this matter with Uncle Zhang," Cheng Qianfan said.
"My family is all looking forward to my early marriage and having children." Not only was Gu Xinrui not threatened, she breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile.
"I will take some time to have a good talk with Uncle Fang about this matter." Cheng Qianfan ignored Gu Xinrui and turned to Tang Xiaoye.
After saying that, Cheng Qianfan turned around and walked towards the Sanya Room in the first row on the far side.
"What's wrong!" Gu Xinrui looked at Cheng Qianfan's back as he left under the guard of bodyguards, and kept staring until Cheng Qianfan knocked on the door and entered the southernmost private room.
"His bodyguards stayed outside." Returning to his private room, Gu Xinrui said to Tang Xiaoye, "This shows that Cheng Qianfan trusts the people in the private room very much."
"When I was young, Brother Qianfan was a very kind-hearted, energetic and passionate young man with a sense of justice." Tang Xiaoye shook his head and sighed, "I didn't expect him to become like this now."
"Mountains and rivers are shattered, and evil spirits are rampant. Just like the great waves washing away the sand, some people stand up for themselves in this most dangerous moment in China's history, while others fail to withstand the test of the times and expose their true nature." Gu Xinrui said in a deep voice, and he signaled Tang Xiaoye not to despair.
Yu sighed, "Did you notice the guests in the private room that Cheng Qianfan entered just now?"
"It's two men. The two men came out just now." Tang Xiaoye said. She knew what Gu Xinrui was going to ask, so she shook her head and said, "I haven't seen them before."
"Cheng Qianfan has many enemies. Not only are his men stained with the blood of his comrades, but even Chongqing is not very satisfied with his Zheng Zhi stance." Gu Xinrui said, "Even Zhang Xiaolin, that big traitor, wants to kill him.
.”
He lit a cigarette, took a puff and said, "So, as far as I know, Cheng Qianfan is very careful about his own safety."
"Just now, the lady was just going to pick up her child, but the bodyguard directly pointed her gun at her." Tang Xiaoye said, "But just now, he was very relieved and entered the private room without a bodyguard."
"Yes." Gu Xinrui nodded.
He became even more curious about the guests in the Sanya Room in the first row.
"Tell me, what is the identity of the person who can make Cheng Qianfan so relieved that he goes to see him alone?" Gu Xinrui thought.
The two people's eyes met and they both nodded.
The traitor lackey goes to meet his Japanese master!
…
"Mr. Zhuo, you are already at the door of my patrol room, why don't you go upstairs to meet me." Cheng Qianfan entered the private room and shook hands with Umesumi Sagami.
"Don't be surprised if you have official duties, Mr. Cheng." Umezuzumi Sagami said with a smile, "Next time, I'll be the one to bother you."
Official business?
Cheng Qianfan followed Umezu Sagami's gaze and looked at the other person in the private room.
The man was admiring a calligraphy and painting hanging on the wall of the private room with his hands behind his back.
"This gentleman..." Cheng Qianfan stepped forward and said.
The man turned around slowly.
"Attache Okada...Your Excellency!" Cheng Qianfan was extremely surprised, and then quickly bowed respectfully, "Your Excellency, you have come to Shanghai."
"Miyazaki-kun, it's been so many years since we last met." Okada Toshihiko said with a smile, "You still have the same style."
"Miyazaki Menglang, what a joke." Cheng Qianfan said respectfully.
"No." Okada Toshihiko shook his head, "You did a good job."
He motioned for Miyazaki Kentaro to sit down, "I heard what Sagami said about your current situation. Mr. Xiao Cheng from the French Concession is very good. You are doing a good job."
"Be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor and devote your life to the empire." Cheng Qianfan stood up immediately. Although he spoke in a low voice, his tone was firm and his expression was extremely pious.
"Sit, sit." Okada Toshihiko nodded with satisfaction.
He is indeed satisfied.
From where Umezu Sagami lived, he learned more about Kentaro Miyazaki. Compared with the passionate troubadour in Hangzhou, Kentaro Miyazaki now is obviously more mellow and mature.
Although Kentaro Miyazaki's words still show his passion and enthusiasm for His Majesty the Emperor, Okada Toshihiko believed that Shanghai's colorful world, especially Cheng Qianfan's extravagant life to hide his identity, would not be able to treat this imperial-blooded man
Youth does not produce corrosion.
In short, Kentaro Miyazaki is obviously not that innocent now.
For example, the enthusiasm in Miyazaki Kentaro's eyes just now is a little less than it was more than three years ago, and a little more performance-like.
Of course, the sincerity in the eyes is still there, and the enthusiasm in the eyes is still there.
Kentaro Miyazaki is a very good young man who has been tempered and still retains a certain degree of loyalty to the empire and his majesty.
Compared with the kind of subordinates who are full of fanaticism and only know how to kill, Okada Toshihiko appreciates this young man who has experienced the world, has a flexible mind, and has a certain degree of loyalty.
What does it mean to experience the world?
China is an official-based country, even in the French Concession. At the same time, the French Concession is a mixed bag. It is not easy to succeed in this small world.
Even with the support of the empire, Miyazaki Kentaro was able to pretend to be Cheng Qianfan and gradually climb up to the position of deputy chief inspector of the Central District of the French Concession.
He has his own power, and even if he looks at it with Toshihiko Okada's critical eyes, he must admit that Kentaro Miyazaki has done an excellent job.
…
Umezu Sagami moved out of the private room and personally kept watch outside.
It was also to avoid suspicion.
Looking at this posture, Kentaro Miyazaki also guessed that Toshihiko Okada had something important to discuss with him.
His expression became solemn and he looked a little nervous.
"Don't be nervous." Okada Toshihiko said.
"yes."
"A few days ago, I asked Sanbon-kun to second you to come to my place." Okada Toshihiko said, he was observing Kentaro Miyazaki's eyes.
Okada Toshihiko has always believed that eyes are a person's most sincere reaction organ, especially a person's instantaneous eye reaction, which can often reveal many signals.
He likes and is used to thinking about this.
"Section Chief...Your Excellency, but the Chief did not agree?" Cheng Qianfan was slightly surprised, then frowned and asked cautiously.
"The response was very quick, very good." Okada Toshihiko nodded.
"If the section chief agrees, he will definitely inform me to follow your orders..." Cheng Qianfan said.
Okada Toshihiko nodded, Miyazaki Kentaro's reaction was in line with his expectations.
This young man is very smart, and he frowned just now because he immediately understood that he came to see him this time behind Sanbonjiro's back, which would obviously make Miyazaki Kentaro very embarrassed.
"Is it difficult?" Okada Toshihiko asked.
"Your Excellency has summoned me, and Kentaro should accept the appointment." Cheng Qianfan said seriously, "However, after I leave here later, I will report the matter to the section chief immediately. I hope you will understand."
Okada Toshihiko took a deep look at Kentaro Miyazaki and said slowly, "Aren't you afraid of angering me when you say this?"
"Kentaro Miyazaki is from the Extra-High School Course." Cheng Qianfan said softly.
Okada Toshihiko pretended to be sullen, pointed at Kentaro Miyazaki, then chuckled and shook his head, "Sanbon-kun has a good subordinate."
He naturally knew what Kentaro Miyazaki meant: he was from the Special High School, so he was naturally loyal to Sanbonjiro. This was the rule!
"Do you want to hear what I want to second you to?" Okada Toshihiko asked.
"I don't want to." Cheng Qianfan shook his head, but smiled bitterly, and said to Toshihiko Okada, "Sir, can I leave now?"
Okada Toshihiko nodded, "Okay."
Then before the joy on Cheng Qianfan's face fully bloomed, Okada Toshihiko said, "I will talk to Sanbon-kun about the outcome of the meeting with you later."
After saying that, he stared at Kentaro Miyazaki.
Kentaro Miyazaki did not show any anger, or in other words, the anger just flashed past, and then he returned to calm.
"Miyazaki." Okada Toshihiko said.
"Hai."
"Your calmness is beyond my expectation, and of course I am very satisfied with it." Okada Toshihiko said.
"You are sir." Cheng Qianfan said with a serious expression.
These words made Toshihiko Okada's impression of Kentaro Miyazaki even better.
Yes, he is a commander. In this case, any anger expressed by Kentaro Miyazaki is invalid and can only show the man's rage and incompetence. On the contrary, after rational consideration, a calm response is the most correct.
This is a guy who understands current affairs and knows how to adapt.
And, speak nicely.
"Let's go." Okada Toshihiko stood up suddenly.
"Ah?" Cheng Qianfan was stunned.
"I'll take you to see Sanbon-kun." Okada Toshihiko's tone was unquestionable, "I'll talk to you in detail in the car on the way."
"Your Excellency, but, the section chief..." Cheng Qianfan looked hesitant.
"Sanbon-kun will agree." Okada Toshihiko smiled and said.
Cheng Qianfan fell silent.
Okada Toshihiko looked at Kentaro Miyazaki with an inexplicable smile. He naturally understood why Kentaro Miyazaki was silent. This is a smart and cunning guy:
Essentially, Miyazaki Kentaro should be resistant to being seconded.
This person's life as "Mr. Xiao Cheng" is so smooth now that he will naturally reject unknown and possibly dangerous secondment tasks subconsciously.
Miyazaki Kentaro's various behaviors before were all because he just said that Sanbonjiro did not agree to the secondment, which gave Miyazaki Kentaro hope. Therefore, Miyazaki Kentaro did not respond to this private summons behind Sanbonjiro's back.
Don't worry about anything.
But now, Miyazaki Kentaro is obviously a little flustered.
However, due to his long-term habit of obedience, Kentaro Miyazaki did not dare to raise any objections.
…
"Cheng Qianfan didn't get into his own car, he walked towards the two people's car." Gu Xinrui stood at the window and looked out.
"Not only that, the bodyguards didn't follow either." Tang Xiaoye said.
"Remember, these two people are most likely Japanese." Gu Xinrui said, "Even if they are not Japanese, they should be traitors."
"That person didn't get in the car." Tang Xiaoye said suddenly.
Cheng Qianfan was sitting in the back seat of the car with Toshihiko Okada. He saw that Umezu Sagami did not get in the car, but directly called a rickshaw and left.
"Master Zuoshang..." Cheng Qianfan said.
"Sagami did not participate in this mission." Okada Toshihiko said.
Cheng Qianfan nodded, and he understood the role of Umezu Sagami:
Tool man.
The meeting just now was an interview.
…
The road is crowded with people.
Inside the car.
Cheng Qianfan's attitude was respectful.
Okada Toshihiko asked and he answered.
"Standing member of the French Concession Executive Committee under the Shanghai Municipal Party Headquarters of the Kuomintang Southern Party Affairs Office." Cheng Qianfan said.
"It's too small." Okada Toshihiko shook his head.
Although his name is very long and he is a standing committee member, he actually has very little power. The most important thing is that even within the French Concession Executive Committee under the Shanghai Party Headquarters, Cheng Qianfan has several senior officials above him.
"According to Chu Mingyu, Cheng Qianfan's letter of appointment was written by Wang Quanhai himself, which clearly shows Wang Quanhai's favor and regard for Cheng Qianfan," Cheng Qianfan said.
"What's the use? It looks like a bunch of flowers, but it has no reality." Okada Toshihiko snorted coldly, "However, this is also in line with Wang Chuanhai's character."
He shook his head and said, "This former No. 2 figure in the Chinese Kuomintang seems to be gentle and charming, but in fact he is indecisive and has no courage."
As he spoke, Toshihiko Okada sarcastically said, "In Chinese terms, you have to be a bitch and build a memorial arch at the same time."
Cheng Qianfan (Kentaro Miyazaki) looked at Toshihiko Okada in surprise, do you Japanese think of Wang Chuanhai this way?
Okada Toshihiko shook his head. He thought Kentaro Miyazaki didn't understand the twists and turns involved. After all, although Miyazaki was smart and tactful, this kind of skillful political trick was different from others.
"Cheng Qianfan's power and energy in the French Concession, as well as the status of Cheng Qianfan's grandfather and parents in the Kuomintang, are enough to show that Cheng Qianfan is valuable to Wang Shuhai." Okada Toshihiko said, "But
, Cheng Qianfan’s biggest disadvantage is his shallow qualifications.”
"I understand." Cheng Qianfan thought for a while and said, "Wang Chuhai thought too much and thought that giving Cheng Qianfan too high an official position would cause criticism, but he didn't want to chill Cheng Qianfan's heart, so he simply decided to use this
A letter of appointment written in my own handwriting to show that I attach great importance to it."
"You just don't have the courage." Toshihiko Okada chuckled, "At the very least, I should give you the position of chairman of the French Concession Executive Committee."
His words were full of contempt for Wang Chuanhai, "I'm so hesitant to even write a bad check, tsk."
Cheng Qianfan caught the word "blank check" in Okada Toshihiko's unintentional words, and he knew that this was the true attitude of the Japanese towards the Wang family.
"Your Excellency, I still don't understand what mission you are talking about?" Cheng Qianfan frowned and said.
"This afternoon, Wang Reclamation will lead a delegation to Nanjing." Okada Toshihiko said in a deep voice, "You will go with him."
