Chapter 217 Don’t do business at a loss

No.1 Changde Road.

Hong Zhiyou got out of the car and went straight to the villa lobby.

Mei Qiuju was coaxing her granddaughter to sleep with a doting and happy look on her face. Hong Zhiyou stopped, walked closer and kissed the little girl.

"Mom, thank you for your hard work," he said gratefully.

"Why work so hard? They're our own children, they're so precious." Mei Qiuju said with a smile.

"Don't hold her all the time. You'll get shoulder periarthritis soon. If you really can't use it, let Chou'er hold her." Hong Zhi said with concern.

"You do not understand.

"This child is like a calf. You have to be like a cowherd and hold him from a young age. Even when he grows up, he won't feel heavy.

"Besides, I wouldn't feel comfortable leaving it to someone else to hold.

"What if it falls or gets bumped?"

Mei Qiuju said as she rocked the baby gently.

"Ok."

Hong Zhiyou pinched the baby's feet and asked with a smile: "Where is the teacher?"

"I came back and played with the child for a long time. I'm afraid he has just fallen asleep." Mei Qiuju said.

“I’m afraid I won’t be able to sleep.

"Mom, leave the child to me, you..."

Hong Ji You smiled and pointed to the bedroom door.

Not everyone can enter Wu Jingzhong's bedroom.

Maybe he will be a second Cao Cao.

I broke in and was used as an example.

Of course, it is also necessary to maintain an appropriate distance to show respect, so that there is a difference between superiors and subordinates, and everyone feels comfortable getting along with each other.

Many things are often ruined by being careless and indifferent.

In order to survive in this chaotic world, the most important thing Hong Zhiyou learned from Wu Jingzhong is "human affairs".

Always remember to understand people's hearts and pay attention to details.

Think ten or a hundred steps ahead when you take one step.

Only in this way can you live longer and stand more firmly.

"Just go and knock on the door yourself. He trusts you more than I do now." Mei Qiuju said with a smile.

"mom.

"You should go." Hong Zhiyou said.

"You kid..."

Mei Qiuju smiled and reluctantly handed the baby to him.

Walked inside and knocked on the door.

“Old man, it’s me.

“Are you asleep?

"Zhiyou has something urgent to discuss with you."

She knocked and shouted.

After a while, Wu Jingzhong opened the door, rubbing his throbbing temples.

"Zhiyou has been here for quite some time. He was afraid of waking you up, so he has been waiting outside." Mei Qiuju did not forget to speak well of her son-in-law.

Hong Zhiyou was deeply grateful.

Apart from anything else, I have an excellent mother-in-law.

"Pour the tea." Wu Jingzhong said.

"Chou'er, pour the tea, a stronger Tieguanyin." Mei Qiuju shouted.

"You guys chat."

She took the baby from Hong Zhiyou and went to Ruirui's room.

Soon, Chou'er brought over the brewed strong tea.

After Wu Jingzhong drank two sips, Hong Zhiyou said, "Teacher, Captain Li succeeded.

"James was caught having an affair, fled in panic, and fell to his death.

“Mei Yingxue and James’ translator Charlie Cao have been locked up in the torture chamber.

"Captain Li doesn't know what to do right now. You may have to go to the station."

"That's great." Wu Jingzhong smiled happily.

"Given Li Ya's personality of putting Jianfeng first, me second, and the chairman third, we must not allow him to be rewarded and promoted to colonel.

“Otherwise, he wouldn’t be eyeing the position of deputy station chief, but my position.

"This time when I went to Jingling, Jianfeng was obviously not as close to me as before. He probably thought I was too old and could not handle things as well as he wanted, and was not as effective as the Iron-Blooded Youth League.

"You've spent so much money on that foreign captain, it's time to do something about it."

After a pause, he frowned and said.

"Okay, I understand." Hong Zhi nodded.

“I won’t go to the station.

"It's better for you and me to stay out of this matter.

"Let Zecheng handle it. He is the deputy station chief and did not participate in the operation. Let him treat it as an international espionage case.

"This can also help train him and enhance Zecheng's prestige.

"Once it's handled, his momentum and reputation will be higher than Li Ya's. Jianfeng and the headquarters will have a name on their side. If they want to promote Li Ya to take his place, they will have to think twice."

Wu Jingzhong said everything without leaving out anything.

"Teacher is truly a Buddha. He can see everything clearly." Hong Zhiyou said with a smile.

“Politics is a big melting pot.

"When you are my age and have soaked in oil thoroughly, you will be able to do it with ease."

Wu Jingzhong said.

"Okay, I'll go back to the station now." Hong Zhiyou stood up and said.

“See, I forgot again.

"Public and private affairs must be clearly distinguished. Whether the affairs of the Party and the country are done early or late, it does not matter. If we neglect our own affairs, people will lose confidence.

“You are not Dayu, you have already entered the house, go and take a look.

"Women are delicate during confinement, so spend more time with them."

Wu Jingzhong frowned and called out to him.

"Yes Yes."

Hong Zhiyou accepted the order with shame.

……

Back room.

Mei Qiuju was holding the child and talking to Ruirui.

"Rui Rui, you made the right decision to find Zhi Youke.

“Before, I was afraid that he would be the only son because you would neglect him if you had a daughter.

“I didn’t expect he quite likes girls.

"I am finally relieved. Your grandmother was still worried about you until her death. If it weren't for your grandfather and your father loving you, I would have been relieved.

"I was planning to throw you into the river."

When Mei Qiuju talked about the past, her face was still filled with pain and lingering fear.

"Zhiyou, this child is really our family's lucky star. He relieves my worries." She said, patting her chest.

"Mom, he is the best at pretending. Please stop praising him. If you continue to praise him, he will not be able to tell the directions." Wu Ruirui said with a smile.

“Intelligence and talent are not fake.

"Mom can never be wrong about people. He has been very respectful to your dad since the first time he came to our house. He is still the same now that he has grown stronger.

“He is also very close to me, and he gives me whatever I want.

“That’s really thoughtful, more filial than you.

"If he is not honest, how high will the threshold for those generals, dignitaries, and the Rong and Song families to associate with him?

"There's also that gang leader in Shanghai, Du Yuesheng. He's sworn brother to Boss Dai, and he's a man who's seen the world.

"The last time I came to Jinhai for business, I made a special trip to our house to visit your father.

“That’s all because Chongzhi wants to save face.

"If he were cunning and sly, these cunning people would recognize him."

When it comes to her son-in-law, Mei Qiuju has endless good things to say about him.

"well.

"Your uncle is the best. He is closer to me than to his daughter."

Wu Ruirui smiled.

"That's right. You're such a fool that you just stay outside and I only see you twice a year. You're really stupid and careless." Mei Qiuju said.

As they were talking, Hong Zhiyou walked in: "Mom, Ruirui, what are you talking about that makes you look so happy?"

"You guys chat."

Mei Qiuju smiled and walked out carrying the child.

Hong Zhiyou leaned towards her and smacked her hard, "Great hero, what book are you reading?"

"economics.

"You have so many businesses, I have to be the boss anyway, I have to manage them, and do some fine work in advance, so that I can outshine those flowers and plants later."

Wu Ruirui blinked.

She knew some things were inevitable.

“You are so thorough, you are worthy of being the head of my Hong family.

"If it were the Qing Dynasty, she would be the Empress, and all the concubines and noble concubines would only be qualified to serve you tea and water."

Hong Zhi nodded seriously.

"Of course." Wu Ruirui said with a smile.

"Mrs. Wu, please invest more money in my business. It all depends on you to make it bigger and stronger." Hong Zhiyou said.

“Human spirit!
"Has Yingxue's problem been resolved?"

Wu Ruirui asked angrily.

"The person has been caught. Given Li Ya's temper, she will probably be in a miserable state." Hong Zhiyou said.

"Deserved it.

“Be careful, and stay away from things related to the Jiang family father and son in the future.

“That’s what Dad meant, too.

“By the way, Mrs. Yu gave me a pair of bracelets, they were not cheap.

"I think it's not easy for them to make money, so you should find a way to return it."

Wu Ruirui said.

"Need not.

"His family's Lao Yu took advantage of me, all by tens of thousands of US dollars.

"Just accept it with peace of mind."

Hong Zhi has the Tao.

"Oh, so much money. If I had known this, I would have asked her to give the baby a big red envelope." Wu Ruirui pouted and said with heartache.

“Little money-grubber.

"Don't lead my daughter astray.

"By the way, my mom said it's time to name the baby. My dad wanted to name the baby, but she wouldn't let him, saying she was afraid you would think too much."

Wu Ruirui said again.

"As for the name, no one can choose it, let the teacher choose it.

"I'm leaving now. There's still a lot of things to do at the station."

Hong Zhiyou stood up and said.

"Give me a kiss." Wu Ruirui said.

"Kiss where?" Hong Zhiyou was overjoyed.

"roll!"

Wu Ruirui felt an inexplicable pain in her cheek and kicked him away.

……

Hong Zhiyou drove back to the station.

"Where is the webmaster?" Li Ya rushed over immediately.

"The stationmaster stayed up all night and was hit by strong winds from the north and south. He fell ill when he returned home in the morning. He instructed that the spy case, as well as the routine work of the station during his convalescence, would be fully handled by Deputy Stationmaster Yu." Hong Zhiyou said.

"Why... did you fall ill?
"We plant trees and Deputy Station Chief Yu enjoys the shade. This benefit is too good to be true." Nothing else to say.

“Your brother has been accused of having sex with his wife’s sister-in-law while she was in confinement after childbirth.

"I won't say anything more. My fiancée cheated on me and was a foreign spy. This is both a dirty deal and a stinky deal.

"So if we get into trouble, Deputy Station Master Yu will just take advantage of the situation?"

Li Ya was so angry.

"What can I do? It was you who insisted that the stationmaster go to Jingling overnight.

“How old do you think he is? How old are we?

"It's okay to have a bad reputation.

"Anyway, you have done a great deed, so if you want to stink, it's better to stink. I really stink. Do Jianfeng and Director Mao know that someone like me is involved?"

Hong Zhiyou smiled.

Li Ya squinted at him, nodded and said, "Yeah, let him take responsibility.

“James is dead.

“Now I don’t know how to wipe this shit off.

"You have to help me, brother. Don't let Deputy Station Master Yu put the blame on me. That would be too disheartening."

"Not really. Aren't you two on good terms lately?" Hong Zhiyou said.

"You do not understand.

“I suspect that the batch of goods that Ma Hansankou had confiscated was dumped by Deputy Station Master Yu.

"If it really is his, then wouldn't that make us enemies?

"They are so good at pretending."

Li Ya shook his head and said half tentatively.

He was also unsure about this batch of goods, after all, Mei Yingxue
"Won't.

"I have asked, and it turns out that it is Ma Hansan's stuff. You are just suspicious. Don't keep staring at Lao Yu. After all, he is our superior now and also your old classmate.

"Logically speaking, you two should be closer than he and I are."

Hong Zhiyou knew what this guy was thinking, so he went along with it.

"That's it.

"Then I feel relieved." Li Ya nodded.

If there is a "clean person" in this station, Li Ya feels that it can only be Hong Zhiyou.

Compared to those who like power and red tickets, a person who likes money is simply too clean.

Li Ya himself likes money.

Therefore, most of the time he prefers to deal with Hong Zhiyou.

"Okay, I'll go to the interrogation room first. You should come up with a plan to deal with James's case with Deputy Station Chief Yu as soon as possible." Li Ya gave instructions and walked away with his hands in his pockets unhappily.

Hong Zhiyou arrived at the door of Yu Zecheng's office.

"Why are you standing there? Why don't you come in?" Yu Zecheng looked up and asked.

“Tsk tsk.

"The deputy station chief's office is definitely more impressive than the former confidential office director's.

"I changed to a new office, it's so spacious and grand, I'm not used to it."

Hong Zhiyou joked while standing at the door.

"You always speak sweetly. You haven't been back to the yard recently, and your sister-in-law has been nagging about not seeing you, our little junior brother, for three days. We missed you very much." Yu Zecheng closed the pen cap, stood up and said with a smile.

“Forget it.

"Senior sister is sincere in thinking of me, just forget it.

"You miss me, you must be here to make money and cause trouble again."

Hong Zhiyou came in leisurely.

"Is there anything wrong?" Yu Zecheng asked.

He was so smart that he knew the stationmaster and Li Ya were busy with important things recently. He went to get off work and left work on time every day without asking any questions or saying anything. In fact, he knew the intelligence like a mirror.

Luo Anping conveyed the organization's instructions very clearly. Even if he couldn't provide assistance, he at least hoped that Li Ya and Hong Zhiyou would accomplish the military aid.

Yancheng is currently surrounded by Hu Zongnan.

The troops in Northeast, South China and Central China were also short of guns, artillery, clothing and food.

Chiang Kai-shek was upset when military aid was cut off, and the organizational organs were even more upset.

If there is military aid, Chiang Kai-shek must get at least two of it through the organization's transportation and preparation.

With this two, the wise men of Yancheng can defeat this eight.

Without this stupidity, you would die of hunger.

"Li Ya's matter has been settled.

"Now we have the recordings, the bribes, the contracts, and the witness, spy Mei Yingxue.

“And the deputy head of the observation group is also dead.

“The news hasn’t spread yet.

"I'll leave it to you to handle what the stationmaster wants."

Hong Zhiyou didn't beat around the bush and spoke directly.

"Yes.

"As for the spy, we have to say that the station chief and Captain Li paid attention to this woman as soon as she returned to China, and they used a trick to capture her. It would be best if we could get some North American telegrams and top-secret documents that the station chief had collected as evidence before she returned to China.

"Otherwise, Mei Yingxue is the stationmaster's niece. I'm afraid someone will make a fuss about the teacher and Li Ya."

Yu Zecheng went straight to the point.

Hong Zhiyou leaned back, lit a cigarette and said with a smile:
"The teacher's trust in you was not in vain. I thought the same thing as you.

“When the document was being planned, I had already asked Mr. Situ in North America to get some of it.

"Then the head of the North American station and the intelligence station in Europe also spent a lot of money to get some signed materials.

“The dates are all in November.

"The stationmaster prepared a copy earlier and reported it to Jianfeng and Director Mao."

"It seems that I worried too much." Yu Zecheng said with a smile.

"It's better to worry more. The webmaster should focus on details. I will convey these words to you." Hong Zhiyou said.

"What should I do?" Yu Zecheng was not arrogant. Caution was ingrained in his genes.

“Quick decision.

"We only need to insist on one thing: Li Ya was carrying a gun when he caught the adulterer, and he pointed the gun at James.

“The testimonies of Mi Zhiguo and other officers should also guide them to corroborate this point.

"I will ask Mr. Kennard, the head of the observation group, to use this to bite Li Ya hard and make him unable to turn over.

“Otherwise, Jianfeng would most likely promote him to colonel.

"No one can escape with such suffering."

Hong Zhi looked around and said in a low voice.

"I know what to do." Yu Zecheng stood up and said.

"Let's go."

Seeing that Hong Zhi hadn't stood up, he turned around and urged him.

"The couple is spending some time alone now, it would be inappropriate for us to go.

"What if he strips you naked and beats you? Will you watch it or not?

"Yingxue's figure, be careful or I'll tell Senior Sister when I get back."

Hong Zhiyou smiled.

"Do you think I'm as good at this as you are?" Yu Zecheng rolled his eyes, sat back and started playing chess with him.

"The situation in Yancheng is tight. We have received intelligence that Hu Zongnan plans to launch a major attack before March of next year. The Chairman has appointed him as the 'Governor of Shaanxi and Gansu', and military equipment and food will be allocated at the highest level with priority.

"The campaign started in Lanzhou and then spread to southern Shaanxi and northern China, preparing for a decisive battle.

“Food is tight.

"Not only that, Wang Puchen, following Mao Renfeng's order, frantically cleared our underground organization's transportation lines in the Pingjin line, and the line I built last time was blocked again.

"Zhiyou, right now, apart from the all-powerful dealer Ma Hansan, there is no other way to go.

"Honestly, I couldn't sleep all night when I thought about the Yancheng headquarters and the important personnel who were in crisis all the time.

"When it comes to life and death, you have to think of a solution."

Yu Zecheng's tone was low and almost pleading.

"Let me correct you first. It's you, not us." Hong Zhiyou said.

"The military aid will be secured this time. I will ask General Filson to provide at least $200,000 in supplies. I will do something big for you."

Naturally, Hong Zhiyou couldn't do James's work for nothing, so he simply gave this benefit to Yu Zecheng.

“Two hundred thousand dollars in supplies.

"well.

“So rice, flour, medicine, and firearms are prepared in the ratio of 6:2:2.

"First, make sure there is food and manpower."

Yu Zecheng said happily.

"You make it sound easy. Even if Ma Hansan were to transport $200,000 worth of supplies, it would be very troublesome, and there's also Wang Puchen watching him.

"Also, we need to prepare at least 50,000 US dollars just to deal with Ma Hansan and the evil spirits he befriended.

“Let me put it this way, the supplies did enter Yancheng, but you really took all the money out of my pocket.

“I’m not like you who dedicate yourself in silence.

"You have to at least let the higher-ups know."

Hong Zhiyou rolled his eyes at him.

Seeing Yu Zecheng blinking his eyes, he added:
"It's almost the New Year. Since Rongbin has acknowledged me as his elder brother, he should come to my house to give me some gifts and visit me."

"Oh!"

Yu Zecheng immediately understood and laughed.

He was still thinking that with such a huge amount of funding, he would not be able to thank Hong Zhiyou even if he sold himself.

So it should be here.

"Don't worry. I will try to apply for a call with the higher-ups in the next few days to report your contributions in person and convey your thoughts about Rong Bin." Yu Zecheng said with a smile.

"That's more like it." Hong Zhiyou said with a smile.

He never goes short and never makes a loss in business.

If he gave Ma Han three cents, he would not be afraid even if Ma asked for more.

Very simple.

Liu Yuzhu's investigation in Hong Kong was very successful, and Lao Ma's first batch of property has begun to be transferred to Hong Kong.

Old Macata.

He turned around and killed Lao Ma, and they didn't lose anything.

And there is the Rong family.

He is a businessman, and relationships cannot be maintained by words alone. This is why Hong Zhi works so hard.

Otherwise, how can you borrow US dollars at a super low interest rate from the Rong family’s foreign bank?

"Ok.

"I think Captain Li is almost done with the interrogation. Let's go take a look."

Hong Zhi has the Tao.

As he walked, Yu Zecheng whispered:
"Luo Anping asked someone to inform Guo Youliang.

“It’s not what you think.

"They are in a normal relationship. Your sister is simply pursuing our ideals and beliefs. Guo Youliang is both a friend and a guide to her."

"Did no one warn him?" Hong Zhiyou said.

“Yes.

“The people sent there don’t know your influence on the organization, and we can’t go into detail.

"Guo Youliang felt that Xiaohui was a like-minded comrade and a new force in the revolution.

“He’s right to think so.

"Besides, if I talk too much, I'm afraid it will be even more detrimental to our identities."

Yu Zecheng told the truth.

"If it rains, it will rain. If my mother wants to get married, let her get married." Hong Zhiyou had already reported this to Wu Jingzhong many times.

Old Wu also knows the inside story.

In that case, if you can't do anything about it, just let it go.
