Conquering the world from the Kaiser's driver

On March 3, Berlin newspapers published this incident, but did not spend too many words to describe it. They only roughly summarized that a Chinese in Alsace led workers to launch a strike. There was no photo of this Chinese person, nor was his name mentioned.

Only a small number of people in Berlin paid attention to this matter. Although this caused Alexandrine and others who were worried about Lin Shangzhou to not know the news, Klein also did not notice this matter. This was a good thing for Lin Shangzhou.

That afternoon, a copy of the Strasbourg Workers' Daily appeared on the table of the government office in Paris, the capital of the French Commune. The government official behind the desk was very surprised by the content of the newspaper. On the one hand, he did not understand German and did not understand why the newspaper was delivered to his desk. On the other hand, it was because the person who delivered the newspaper told him about the content of the newspaper.

"A Chinese man led German workers in a strike in Germany and achieved a complete victory."

This reminded him of the Chinese he met in Paris. Because they could not read newspapers, he entrusted his subordinates to deliver newspapers to those Chinese.

Ten minutes later, the newspaper was handed to a handsome Chinese man in an apartment in Paris.

He looked at the contents of the newspaper with great interest. He could understand some German and could understand what the article was about. He happily took the newspaper into the inner room and handed it to a young woman.

To them, nothing could be more interesting than a Chinese leading a workers' strike.

Chapter 54: Going Out (I)

On the afternoon of March 3, when Lin Shangzhou was resting leisurely in the living room, he heard the sound of the door opening. Turning his head, he saw Letitia, who looked tired. She was holding a cloth bag with a chicken in one hand and a cloth bag with vegetables in the other.

Seeing her carrying things, Lin Shangzhou stood up and walked towards her, saying hello as he walked, "Are these all things your family asked you to bring?"

Letitia looked at him in surprise and nodded.

"Fritts, when did you come back?"

"I came back on the evening of the 27th. Didn't you hear about me leading the workers in a strike?"

Lin Shangzhou asked after taking the bag.

"strike?"

Letitia was stunned and stood there, her eyes full of disbelief. Lin Shangzhou led the workers to strike?! When did it happen? She had no idea about it at home.

Lin Shangzhou came to the kitchen with the bag. He turned around and saw the shocked expression on Letitia's face and remembered that she had returned to her hometown.

"Ah... I forgot you were back home. It's normal that I didn't know."

As he spoke, he pointed to the table in the living room.

"About the 27th, there's a newspaper on the table, you can take a look."

Letitia still couldn't believe it. After all, this matter was too shocking.

"really?"

She looked at Lin Shangzhou in confusion, then went to sit on the sofa, picked up the newspaper on the table and opened it. The first thing she saw was the photo of Lin Shangzhou raising his arms and cheering.

After seeing the photo, her doubts disappeared without a trace, and were replaced by admiration for Lin Shangzhou.

"Fritts, you are awesome!"

Letitia gave Lin Shangzhou a thumbs up. She didn't know much about strikes, but judging from the fact that most of the articles and reports in the newspapers were about strikes, this incident had a really big impact.

"Humph, of course."

Lin Shangzhou smiled proudly. Now, if anyone praised him on this matter, he would accept it generously. Who doesn't like to be praised?

He was packing up the things that Letitia brought back. The vegetables were easy enough, but the main problem was the chicken. Lin Shangzhou looked at the chicken in the bag and didn't know what to do with it.

If it was dead, it would be fine and I could stew it directly tonight, but this one is alive.

(Take it to the butcher shop and ask them to help you process it?)

Lin Shangzhou thought to himself, I can’t kill a chicken at home, right?

Letitia was sitting on the sofa reading an article in the newspaper. She laughed out loud when she saw how Lin Shangzhou disgusted the factory owner.

"Hahahaha, Fritz, are you negotiating? You're just trying to piss me off on purpose."

"I won't treat this black-hearted boss well. He deserves it."

Lin Shangzhou said disdainfully.

Letitia turned the newspaper over and looked at the photo again. Then she noticed the bandage on Lin Shangzhou's left arm, so she asked with concern: "Fritts, how is the injury on your arm?"

"He's almost well. Just wait for him to heal on his own."

Lin Shangzhou raised his left hand and said to Letitia that the bandage had been removed long ago and the scratch was very shallow and would heal after a while.

"It's okay."

Letitia closed the newspaper, stood up and walked to the kitchen door. She stood there looking at Lin Shangzhou who was busy inside, looking hesitant and hesitant. She wanted to say something but didn't dare to, so she could only stand there awkwardly.

Lin Shangzhou turned his head and saw the shy Letitia. He felt very curious. It was the first time he saw Letitia like this. She was like a little girl.

"What's the matter with you looking like this?"

Lin Shangzhou turned around, pinched his waist, looked at her and joked, "Could it be that you fell in love with me after seeing my handsome photo in the newspaper?"

"that…"

Letitia did not answer his question, but looked away with a vague look. After hesitating for a few seconds, she made up her mind and looked at Lin Shangzhou.

Lin Shangzhou suddenly felt an uneasy premonition in his heart. He was sure that what the girl was going to say next was not a good thing.

"I've told my parents... the person I live with is my boyfriend, and I came here just to take you home to meet my parents..."

"Forehead…"

Lin Shangzhou didn't know what to say. This girl really gave him a huge surprise.

Pretending to be a boyfriend... He had seen this before, but he didn't expect it to happen to him today, and he did it without asking for permission later. It was just pretending... It became real after pretending for a while.

Lin Shangzhou put his hands on his waist and looked at Letitia seriously and said, "Do you know what you are talking about?"

Seeing that he was angry, Letitia hurriedly apologized to him repeatedly.

Lin Shangzhou waved his hand to stop her, then asked, "Tell me why you want me to pretend to be your boyfriend."

"My parents want me to marry the son of another wealthy businessman in town."

"They're forcing you to get married... He's a wealthy businessman, and there's definitely no harm in marrying his son. Why are you resisting?"

Hearing Lin Shangzhou's calm words, Letitia stamped her feet unhappily and said angrily:

"I don't want my parents to decide who I will be with in the future. I want to choose my lover myself!!"

"And my dad made me marry him so that he could get investment from a wealthy businessman!"

Hearing Letitia say this, Lin Shangzhou suddenly realized that there were some special things about this girl. She didn't want her parents to decide her future. Should he help her and let her break free from her parents' control?

Moreover, Letitia said that her father let her marry the rich businessman's son in order to obtain the rich businessman's investment, and he hated this behavior of sacrificing children for profit.

"So Fritz, can you help me?"

Letitia said to him sincerely, and Lin Shangzhou was very conflicted. If he disagreed, he felt that he would regret it later, but if he agreed, he would feel guilty...

"Forehead…."

After seeing Letitia's pleading eyes, Lin Shangzhou gritted his teeth and nodded.

"Okay, I'll help you."

After Lin Shangzhou nodded, Letitia jumped up happily, then hit her head on the door frame with a bang and fell to the ground.

"Be careful, don't get hurt."

Lin Shangzhou chuckled and walked forward to help Letitia up.

Letitia stood up, rubbing her head with one hand and her butt with the other, hissing and breathing in the cold air. She walked to the sofa and sat down, then turned her head and said to Lin Shangzhou embarrassedly: "That... Fritz..."

"What's the matter?"

Lin Shangzhou looked at her helplessly and asked.

"Just... can you borrow a car?"

"car?"

Letitia nodded.

"Well, that rich man's family is very wealthy. If you pretend to be my boyfriend, you can't be that bad..."

"Tsk...Okay, I'll go to the newspaper office this afternoon to ask my colleague if he's willing to lend me his car."

Lin Shangzhou took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and nodded.

"Really? Thank you so much!"

Letitia raised her hands and shook them happily.

Then Lin Shangzhou went out and rode his bicycle to the newspaper office. After arriving at the newspaper office, he was about to look for Monkie. Before he had taken a few steps, the deputy editor-in-chief came out of the office. After seeing him, he walked towards him with a smile.

He stopped and looked at the deputy editor-in-chief who was walking over and greeted him.

"Fritts, are you ready to come back to work?"

The deputy editor asked with a smile, and then said generously: "It's okay if you want to take a few more days off. You can take as many days off as you want."

"Thank you for your kindness, Deputy Editor-in-Chief. I came to the newspaper office to ask Monk if I could borrow his car."

Lin Shangzhou said to the deputy editor-in-chief. When he heard that he wanted to borrow a car, the deputy editor-in-chief became interested. Thinking of what he knew about Lin Shangzhou from Monk and others, he seemed to understand something. He patted Lin Shangzhou on the shoulder and said, "Drive mine. Just don't crash it."

As he said this, he took out the car keys from his pocket and handed them to Lin Shangzhou without even asking him why he wanted to borrow the car.

"Deputy Editor, this won't work. I'm driving your car. How do you usually get to and from get off work?"

Lin Shangzhou waved his hand hastily to refuse, but the deputy editor-in-chief pressed the key into his hand and said with a smile, "That's nothing. Your contribution to our newspaper is totally worth giving you my car."

"Take it, take it. Just don't break it."

Faced with such an enthusiastic deputy editor-in-chief, Lin Shangzhou could not refuse and had to accept his car keys.

Then the deputy editor-in-chief took Lin Shangzhou downstairs to find his car. After sending Lin Shangzhou to his car, he temporarily exchanged mounts with Lin Shangzhou. Lin Shangzhou drove his car and he rode Lin Shangzhou's bicycle.

Lin Shangzhou drove the deputy editor-in-chief's car back to the apartment. On the way back to the apartment, he thought of Andy and Lin Wenhua, so he planned to go to Andy's home and the Chinese students' apartment respectively tomorrow.

In the morning, I went to Andy's house first, and then followed Letitia to her house. After coming back in the afternoon, I went to the Chinese students' apartment to say hello to them.

Next I just wait to go out tomorrow.

Chapter 55: Going Out (Part )

At 8 o'clock in the morning on April st, Lin Shangzhou took Letitia to the deputy editor-in-chief's car. Sitting in the passenger seat, Letitia said embarrassedly: "Sorry, I asked you to borrow your deputy editor-in-chief's car..."

"Nothing. Our deputy editor-in-chief is happy to lend me the car. If you feel sorry, just don't show any flaws when you meet your parents."

Lin Shangzhou said as he started the car, and his words caused dissatisfaction in Letitia.

"Please, I'm a girl. Even though I'm asking you for help, I'm also very shy to be so close to a guy so suddenly. It's inevitable that I'll feel a little uncomfortable."

Lin Shangzhou curled his lips, stepped on the accelerator and said nothing.

"Let's go to my co-worker's house first, and then to yours, is that ok?"

He asked Letitia after they were on the road.

"No problem, just be at my house before noon."

Letitia nodded. Even if she had some questions in her mind, she didn't have the nerve to bring them up. After all, she was the one who asked Lin Shangzhou for help, and she had already made enough requests.

More than 20 minutes later, Lin Shangzhou arrived at Andy's home, which was located in a relatively remote place in the city of Strasbourg. This place was indeed far from the factory, one was at one end of the city and the other was at the other end.

Lin Shangzhou and Letitia got out of the car. He came to an old house that looked very old according to the house number written on the note.

Letitia looked at the house and asked:

“Is this your co-worker’s home?”

"Well, I'm going to help him get the money to his family."

Lin Shangzhou nodded, walked up and knocked on the door.

After more than ten seconds, the door opened a little, and a woman looked at Lin Shangzhou vigilantly from behind the door.

"Excuse me sir, what can I do for you?"

"Hello, I am Andy's co-worker. He asked me to deliver his salary to you."
