Espionage, codenamed Ant, moving expert

Tokugawa did not come alone, but with a large entourage.

Among them were three lieutenant generals, five major generals, and more than a dozen colonels.

Moreover, Tsuchi's two most outstanding students, Fangzi and Yunzi, accompanied him, and they were almost inseparable.

That evening, a grand banquet was held at the Peace Hotel to welcome Tokugawa and his entourage.

Ministers from various countries, their wives, and heads of multinational trading companies were all invited to attend.

Li Ya, due to his special status, was also among those invited, becoming the only person from the Dragon Kingdom to attend the banquet.

Although attending the banquet, one can only wander around the perimeter and cannot enter the core area at all.

Even after the banquet ended and he returned home, Li Ya still hadn't found a way to eliminate several high-ranking members of Unit 731, let alone take down Tokugawa.

Li Ya did not give up and arranged to meet Chen Zheng at the business.

Over the course of two days, Chen Zheng spent most of his time in the space, and his injuries had almost completely healed.

Xiao Hei was amazed by his recovery speed.

Generally, injuries of this severity will prevent normal movement for at least ten days to two weeks.

Chen Zheng had been acting normally for three days, showing no signs of injury whatsoever.

Arriving at the trading company through the space, I first went to the front shop to take a look and show my face.

After Tokugawa arrived in Shanghai, the investigation stopped, the ronin had nothing to do, and Oda returned to the trading company.

Upon seeing Chen Zheng, his face lit up with a smile:

"The manager is here. Please have a seat. Waiter, pour some tea."

Chen Zheng didn't give Oda a friendly look:

"Are you blind? Can't you see the staff are all busy? You're just sitting around anyway, would it kill you to pour a cup of tea?"

Oda wasn't angry; he smiled and said:

"Alright, alright, I'll go get it. Please wait a moment, Manager."

Tang Asheng rushed over and brought over a cup of tea:

"Manager, what brings you here today?"

It wasn't that Tang Asheng liked serving people; he simply didn't want the cup to be touched by the dirty hands of the Japanese.

If Oda weren't still somewhat useful, he would have been sent home long ago to avoid getting in the way.

"My employer sent me here, but I don't know why."

Upon hearing that his master was coming, Oda became even more excited, and took the opportunity to discuss profit sharing in front of the two of them.

Oda didn't dare mention it before, firstly because the trading company had only been open for a short time and hadn't made much money.

Secondly, it was out of consideration for the Mitsui and Ii families.

When Tokugawa's general arrived in Shanghai and was said to be staying for some time, Oda suddenly became bolder.

I heard that General Tokugawa not only wanted to commend some soldiers who had made military achievements, but also to commend outstanding Japanese merchants who did business in China.

If Oda can get into Tokugawa's commendation ceremony and show his face on stage, he is confident that he can restore the glory of the past.

There's a problem now: to get into the awards ceremony, you have to pay the embassy a large sum of money.

They're talking about a deposit to show off their financial strength. If they haven't even earned any money, how can they be qualified to meet General Tokugawa?

There was no question of any commendation.

Where did Oda get the money? Seeing that the trading company was doing very well, he planned to advance his share of the profits.

Chen Zheng and Tang Asheng were discussing the business, while Oda stood at the door, waiting for Li Ya, his eyes practically bulging with anticipation.

Finally spotting the owner's car, he strode forward, waving his hands:

"Boss, boss, you've finally arrived!"

Li Ya wondered, when did Oda become so enthusiastic?

Before the car had even come to a complete stop, Oda ran to the car, opened the door, and carefully placed one hand on the roof, as if afraid that Li Ya would bump his head.

Li Ya casually pulled out a banknote, without looking at its value, and handed it to Oda.

This person, who usually loves money more than anything, surprisingly didn't answer this time.

"Boss, I opened the car door because I saw you were happy, not to ask for a tip."

Li Ya didn't say a word, but simply stuffed the money into Oda's pocket and went into the trading company with Uncle Zhong.

Oda was behind, wanting to overtake Uncle Zhong and follow Li Ya, but Uncle Zhong didn't give him the chance.

When Oda walks on the left, he walks on the left; when Oda walks on the right, he walks on the right.

Oda was so anxious that he stomped his feet, but he didn't dare to touch Uncle Tadashi because the other man exuded a strong sense of oppression.

Oda felt that if he made any outrageous moves, this middle-aged man would definitely kill him without hesitation.

After Chen Zheng and Li Ya exchanged greetings, Tang Asheng introduced the business operations of the company.

Within just a few days of opening, the business actually earned more than 30,000 yuan, giving Li Ya a pleasant surprise.

He didn't expect that Chen Zheng was also a shrewd businessman.

A few days ago, he led a raid on the Okamoto Brigade camp, but failed to kill the 731 men, which Li Ya found very regrettable.

I was really saddened for several days after learning that Chen Zheng was injured and might not be able to participate in the follow-up operations.

Until the banquet ended last night, Li Ya couldn't think of a solution, so he asked Uncle Zhong to go to Chen Zheng's house.

Upon returning and learning that Chen Zheng's injuries had almost fully recovered, she felt as if she had grasped at a last straw and immediately arranged to meet him at the trading company.

After Tang Asheng finished his report, Li Ya praised him a few times and suggested going to the backyard for tea.

Oda wanted to follow, but was stopped by Uncle Tadashi:

"Why are you following along when the master and the head manager are discussing business?"

Oda puffed out his chest and said arrogantly:

"I'm a shareholder too, why can't I go?"

Uncle Zhong sneered:

"You're no shareholder at all. You only need to be there when it's time to get your share of the profits. Otherwise, go do whatever you want."

When it came to dividing the money, Oda's voice rose a few decibels:

"Yes, I'm going to get my share of the money, don't stop me."

Chen Zheng had already walked to the cherry blossom tree, but after hearing Oda's words, he came back:

"Oda, are you fucking money-mad? The trading company has only been open for a few days, how could I possibly give you a share of the profits?"

Oda's abbreviation:

"Manager, the business hasn't been open for long, but it's already making money! And it's time to share the profits."

Chen Zheng raised his hand to slap Oda:

"Who told you the trading company made money?"

Oda took a step back and said:

"I heard what the second manager said just now."

Moth

I still couldn't dodge it and got slapped.

"You only listen to what you like, right? The workers' wages and the warehouse laborers haven't been paid yet, and that's not even considered a cost?"

And those goods, they just fell from the sky, they cost nothing, right?

If you dare mention money to me again, I'll replace you immediately.

Three-legged toads are hard to find, but two-legged Japanese are everywhere.

After Chen Zheng finished speaking, he ignored Oda and turned to leave.

Oda suddenly knelt down and grabbed Chen Zheng's trouser leg:

"Manager, I don't want a share of the profits, I just want to get my share of the money in advance, not a penny more."

Chen Zheng turned around and kicked Oda away:

"What the hell is the difference between this and profit sharing? Tell me honestly, what do you need the money for? Give me a good reason and I'll talk to the boss."

If your reasons are insufficient, or if you're plotting something nefarious, I won't let you off the hook.

Oda explained the reason with tears streaming down his face.

When Chen Zheng heard that Oda needed to pay money to the embassy to attend the Tokugawa Admiral's commendation ceremony, he suddenly had an idea.

Oda still looked unpleasant to him.

"What a load of bull! It's a complete waste of money; it's just a money-making scheme! I can't even get past that, let alone my employer. It's definitely not going to work out!"

"Yes, there are benefits, and big benefits at that!"

"Tell me what the benefits are."

Oda didn't dare to hide anything and told Chen Zheng in detail.

The final sentence is:

"Okay, I understand. I'll talk to the employer and let you know the result tomorrow."
