Spy Wars: Red Shopkeeper

Chapter 50 Exploitation
"Huh?" He Yun was stunned. She asked with a puzzled smile, "What do you mean by Japanese stamp verification?"

"By the way, why did you call us here today? Why are there two other people?" Lu Bowen asked.

"Of course there's something good about calling you here."

Gu Yansheng smiled and said, "Congratulations, you two, you're going to be bosses now."

Gu Yansheng talked about his activities in the project, and then talked about the prisoners in the prison and how Li Shiqun would feel if the tracking continued.

"You mean that if you use my connections to the Construction Bureau, I can get a share of the government salary?" Lu Bowen was stunned.

"Yes, not only can you eat the Japanese army's rations, you can also eat them without working."

Gu Yansheng directly explained to him what would happen next, "Go to the Construction Bureau and find their director later. Just say that you are my distant relative. He will naturally understand what will happen next. You are a businessman, so I don't need to tell you, right?
What you have to do is to set up an intermediary company and be your own boss. As for the employees, they can just wait for me to release people from prison and you can recruit them directly at the prison gate.

During the Battle of Shanghai, many people must have lost their homes because of collapsed houses. You want to recruit those who are homeless but willing to work and can endure hardships.

Let those who want to go home go home. There are a lot of people here anyway, so you can choose when the time comes.

The specific amount depends on the workload. I ask my superiors how much they need, and then you can discuss and decide with him. He said that using a few hundred people will definitely not be a problem.

Once you finish this task, you will have your first income.

Of course, on the surface, this is money given to me by others. I just keep it with you temporarily, and I am not in a hurry to take it.

Don't spend too much. After all, you are not actually my relative. I just happened to need someone to help me, and I chose you, a businessman couple who wanted to come to Shanghai to do business but are not doing well.

The benefits of helping me are obvious. Sharing some money is secondary. The most important reason is that you know that doing business requires connections, and you want to climb up my ladder to make your future path smoother.

So even if I don't give you a penny, you are actually willing to help me.

These two reasons are enough to convince anyone who asks.

This will give you the motivation to move freely in Shanghai.

You don't have to worry about No. 67 Li Shiqun. You haven't done anything out of line. If they want to follow you, let them. Just do your thing and pretend you don't know.

And if Li Shiqun insists on taking you back to find out the truth, the possibility is actually very small, but it doesn't matter even if it happens.

From today on, you will move. I found the address for you. You have seen the neighbor. She is the female assistant I mentioned earlier. You all know that I sent her to monitor you. But you were not planning to run away anyway, so just get along with each other as you should. Don't point it out.

If the people from No. 67 really arrest you, assuming he only arrests Bowen, and He Yun finds out that he didn't go home, he will notify me in the evening.

If he catches both of you, you will not be at home at night, and at the latest at work the next day, and this spy will tell me about it.

If you both go out for something in the future and are not at home, please tell me in advance. As long as you don’t tell me, and you two disappear again, I will assume that something has happened to you two, and then I will rescue you.

All you have to do is to tell Li Shiqun the relationships I just made up, layer by layer, and try your best to delay time. No later than 24 hours, I will show up and rescue you.

Have I made myself clear enough?"

He Yun was moved after hearing this. "Yansheng, you've already done so much? You have to seek your own position, and you have to help us think of so many things. The time is so tight, you must be under a lot of pressure. Thank you for your hard work."

"This is what lawyers do. If you don't think carefully, it's easy for others to find loopholes in court. It's okay if others find a loophole, but if a lawyer finds a loophole, he won't earn any legal fees." Gu Yansheng chuckled.

Lu Bowen patted Gu Yansheng's arm and said, "You have indeed worked hard, Yansheng. We will definitely cherish your plan and make good use of this environment for development. We will never let your efforts go to waste.

When it's completely safe, I will report this matter in detail to the organization. Your progress has already exceeded my expectations, and I believe it may have exceeded Minister Chen's expectations as well."

After saying that, Lu Bowen had a flash of inspiration, "You're not a party member yet, are you? Yansheng, I recommend you to join the party, and I'll be your introducer."

"Add me in." He Yun raised her hand.

Gu Yansheng raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Okay, I've wanted to join the party for a long time. When I was in Yan'an, I even wanted Minister Chen to personally introduce me to the party, but then we were released, so there was no chance anymore."

"Haha, He Yun, did you hear that? Yansheng still despises us." Lu Bowen joked.

He Yun smiled and said, "I don't think it's impossible. Doesn't the organization want cotton yarn this time?
I think this is a very important matter. If it is really accomplished, I will talk to Minister Chen and ask him to personally introduce Yansheng to the Party. Considering that so many soldiers will have clothes to wear, I think Minister Chen will definitely agree.

"That makes sense. Let's find a chance to talk about it." Lu Bowen encouraged him, "This can also be regarded as motivation for us to push ourselves to do our best to solve the organizational problems. It is also a major opportunity to work hard to resolve the party membership status of Comrade Yansheng, a member of our trio. Let's work hard together."

"come on."

"come on."

The three of them stretched out their hands and attacked together, giving each other a little encouragement and self-motivation. Behind enemy lines, it was this true comradeship that kept everyone together.

We should encourage when we should, and we should warn when we should.

Gu Yansheng took a sip of coffee and said, "The project won't last long, nor will it be a long one. During this time, you can plan your own business and trade in grain.

As for the manpower, we will select from the working people released from the prisons who are observed on a daily basis.

These people were selected by the Japanese and will be kept in jail for unknown reasons. Basically, they have no connections in Shanghai. It is worth looking forward to picking some of them and training them to be your capable assistants in the future.

But I want to emphasize that Li Shiqun is not a simple person. He is the director of the Central Bureau of Investigation and is a master of conspiracy tactics. This time I just took advantage of his suspicious character and went with the flow.

However, the Military Intelligence Bureau had been carrying out assassinations in Shanghai. Based on the Japanese's judgment of the situation in Shanghai, they would definitely need experienced people like Li Shiqun to help them.

My suppression of Li Shiqun is only temporary. It may not be long before he rises to the top, and it will be normal for him not to give me face at that time.

Therefore, in our future work, we must stay within the prescribed limits. This is something we must keep in mind, especially for cotton yarn.

Don't even look at it until I tell you you can touch it."

The two nodded seriously, "Don't worry, although we can't help much, we can do our best to not be a drag."

"What are you talking about?" Gu Yansheng sneered. "Let's pick out a few strong guys to be your bodyguards, and get a car. That way, even if Li Shiqun wants to take action, there won't be any noise."

"remember."

"Okay, your business is over now. One of the remaining two people is related to you, the assistant manager of the car dealership.

I have read this man's resume. He has been in Shanghai for a long time and has so many drivers under him. He can be considered a local tyrant.

When you need a vehicle to transport food in and out of the city, you can try to find him. Although he runs a rickshaw company, he must know people on the big truck side. It's a purely business relationship. As cellmates, you have communication, so it seems reasonable to outsiders.

I used him as a smokescreen for Li Shiqun."

"Then I understand. I was wondering why I saw the two of them."

Lu Bowen understood and said, "Just now at your gate, when the guards didn't let me in, I asked them about it. The professor hasn't left the concession in recent days, but the assistant manager has.

Judging from his facial expressions and gestures while speaking, he hasn't been invited by Number 67, so I judge that the risk is indeed not great for the time being."

"That's good news." Gu Yansheng smiled. "If we really run into a psychopath like Wu Sibao, arresting people without caring about anything would be a bit troublesome. But for someone like Li Shiqun who plays the long game to catch a big fish, we don't need to worry too much. We are clean ourselves, so it doesn't matter if we follow him casually.

In fact, I hope he keeps following us. The more he follows, the more he can prove our innocence."

"Haha, that's what I meant. If nothing else, let's go first. If we don't go now, the director will be off work."

"Okay, I'll ask the secretary to leave you an address. After we meet, you can go and rent a house. Just be careful with yourself.

From now on, you can call me anytime if you have any questions. If it's not convenient to talk in the office at home, start with Mr. Gu. If it's convenient to talk, start with Deputy Director Gu. If it's really urgent in the middle of the night, you can even come to my house to find me."

"Remember, we'll be leaving then." Lu Bowen stood up and held out his hand: "Take care."

"Take care of yourself."

"Yansheng, take more rest when you have time." He Yun said.

"I understand." Gu Yansheng smiled and nodded.
