Old Movies of the Republic of China II

"Master Ziran, hello."

Mrs. Du's surname is Hou, and her surname is Yuzhi. Today she is wearing a generous yet delicate light green cheongsam with lotus leaf sleeves. She stands up and reaches out to Qinghe.

Qinghe shook hands with her with a smile, and said, "Mrs. Du, I have long admired you. This is Mr. Du?"

Du Zhongyuan stood aside dryly: "Master Ziran, you can call me Zhongyuan."

The three of them sat down, and the aroma of the coffee shop lingered in their noses.

Hou Yuzhi rested her slender fingers on the handle of the coffee cup, and smiled, "Master Ziran, I'm not welcome, may I call you by your name?"

"of course."

"Zi Ran, you must have heard from Mrs. Zhang that Zhong Yuan returned to China after studying, and wanted to do something for the industrial development of his hometown. In Tokyo, he studied ceramic manufacturing in an industrial school. Now that he is back, we plan to start A machine-made porcelain factory."

Hou Yuzhi got straight to the point, appearing full of confidence.

Qing He said: "Of course I am happy to see the development of national industry, but the machine-made porcelain industry in Northeast China has been monopolized by the Japanese, and it is extremely difficult to open the gap."

"Are you going to shrink back because of difficulties?" Hou Yuzhi leaned forward slightly, and said, "I discussed this issue with Zhong Yuan, and we both think there is a lot to do."

"The quality of the porcelain produced by Shantian Porcelain Factory can only be described as average, even if the price is only a little cheaper than artificial porcelain. If we can open a large factory, we will be able to reduce the cost very low." Hou Yuzhi smiled slightly Smile, there are faint lines in the corners of the eyes, but they don't look vicissitudes, but have a charm that has been baptized by the years, "Zi Ran, Zhong Yuan and I didn't come on a whim. We have carefully studied the production and sales of Yamada Porcelain Factory, and compared them. Our advantages and disadvantages, with funds, the machine-made porcelain factory will definitely be able to develop very well.”

This is a very attractive woman with elegant demeanor and persuasive words. Qinghe remembered the words of Mrs. Zhang from the Education Department and had to admit that it was no accident that Du Zhongyuan abandoned his wife and son for him.

But this does not mean that he can accept what Du Zhongyuan did to his wife and young son.

The reason why people are human is that they must bear the responsibilities they should bear. If they only care about their own happiness, can they still be called human beings?

Du Zhongyuan took out a document bag from his handbag, "Zi Ran, here is our questionnaire and plan, you can take it back and have a look at it carefully, after reading it, I believe you will definitely support the establishment of the porcelain factory .”

Qinghe took it and put it on the table without saying anything.

Hou Yuzhi sat back, took a sip of coffee, and said: "The coffee in this cafe is not strong enough, Zi Ran, if you like it, you can go to the Pedofi Club with me next time. After returning to China, I will be there I have met many excellent friends who are passionate about the country, and I think you will be interested."

Qing He looked at him.

Hou Yuzhi smiled slightly.

This woman... Qing He thought, she knew his identity, knew his relationship with Zhang Zheng, and also knew how to arouse his interest and make him compromise.

Du Zhongyuan didn't say a few words from the beginning to the end, Qing He looked at him without any trace.For a man who couldn't stand him, he didn't seem that smart, and his demeanor was even a little dull.

This is the kind of person who, after returning to China, goes to the most upscale coffee shops by himself, wears a sharp suit and a high-quality briefcase, but is stingy to send a piece of ocean to his parents, wife and children.

Hou Yuzhi didn't talk about business anymore, she chatted with Qing He in the tone of chatting with a friend she hadn't seen for many years, talking about what she had seen and heard in Japan, the interesting things she met on the ship returning to China, and how sad she was to see the barren Northeast after returning to China .

She made Qinghe feel at ease.

She really is not an ordinary woman, Qinghe thought, Eucommia not only loves her, but also fears her.

When we parted, Hou Yuzhi handed over a card and said, "Zhongyuan and I are now renting at a friend's house, Ziran, you can call us here."

Qinghe paused, took a piece of paper from Wang Yongze and wrote the phone number of the Shuaifu.

Hou Yuzhi shook hands with him again, and said, "It's a pleasure chatting with you, Ziran, and I look forward to seeing you next time."

Wang Yongze glanced at the file bag that Qinghe put aside, "Qinghe, I have checked, what Mrs. Zhang said is not a lie, Du Zhongyuan did have a wife and four daughters in the country, and he did not die after he came back." Send money home."

Qinghe didn't speak.

Wang Yongze said again: "What do you think of him?"

"What do you think?"

Wang Yongze smiled: "I only glanced at it a few times, so I don't feel anything. But I looked at him in a daze, I'm afraid I'm a nerd, right? Don't storytellers often say that every time more dogs are slaughtered by righteousness, they are full of scholars. It is just right to use it on Du Zhongyuan."

"A nerd, can he still participate in anti-imperialist propaganda?" Qing He asked, "Have you found out, what else has he done in Japan in the past few years besides studying?"

Wang Yongze scratched his head: "It's hard to find out. Some of the people who studied with him worked in the Education Department, but they didn't know him well. It's hard for me to ask if I know him well. I heard that when Du Zhongyuan was in Tokyo, he often Participating in some gatherings among foreign students, his wife often follows him, that's all that person knows."

His wife?

Thinking of Hou Yuzhi's smile, Qing He felt even more strange.

"Qinghe, shall we go back home?"

Qing He paused, and said: "I won't go back, I'll go to Wang Xianben first."

"Hou Yuzhi?" Wang Xianben's expression was a bit strange: "A...woman?"

Qing He nodded, "She was born and raised in the capital, and later went to Tokyo, Japan to study abroad, and returned to China not long ago. You find a way to find out her bottom, and find a brother with good skills to follow her."

Wang Xianben said: "Master Ziran, can I ask, what is this woman's relationship with you?"

"Huh?" Qing He frowned: "Brother Wang, what exactly do you want to say?"

Wang Xianben cleared his throat, saw no one was around, and then said: "Brother knows, you are a boy, and boys like girls, but no matter what you say, you are the eldest and youngest now, and the youngest treats you so well." , you can't do something to be sorry for him."

Only then did Qinghe realize where he was thinking, and said, dumbfounded: "Brother Wang, you misunderstood, don't say I don't... don't like girls, even if I really like girls, she is already someone else's wife, how could I be right? Did she have such thoughts?"

"You don't like girls?" Wang Xianben rubbed his chin thoughtfully.

Qinghe sighed, Wang Xianben is good at anything, he is agile, quick in doing things, loyal to Zhang Zheng, and loyal to the people around him, the only thing is that he always misses the point.

"Brother Wang, Hou Yuzhi's husband wants to open a factory, and I'm considering whether to invest in their husband and wife." Qinghe explained: "I'll have another person evaluate the feasibility of the factory. The purpose is to revitalize the national industry."

"Of course the Chinese set up factories to revitalize the national industry," Wang Xianben was puzzled: "Zi Ran, what are you worried about?"

"I'm worried that they might have something to do with the Japanese," Qing He could only say, "It's said that Hou Yuzhi stayed with a prominent Japanese family when he was in Tokyo. I can't help worrying."

Wang Xianben was speechless: "This, this can't be done?"

Qing He shook his head: "I can't say for sure. The largest porcelain factory in Northeast China now belongs to the Yamada family. The head of the Yamada family, Mitsuo Yamada, has a lot of connections with the Japanese royal family. Logically speaking, it shouldn't be. But what if? Eucommia Yuan has no opinion in front of Hou Yuzhi, I am afraid that Hou Yuzhi wants to use him to do something that should not be done."

Having said that, Wang Xianben can only pat his chest and promise that he will investigate Hou Yuzhi to the bottom.

Wang Yongjiang has a strict personality, rich and powerful cannot be lewd, and mighty cannot be subdued.

As Zhang Yishan's director of finance department and supervisor of the official banks of the three northeastern provinces, one is to thank Zhang Yishan for his kindness, and the other is to use his talents to improve the financial environment in Northeast China and make people's lives more prosperous.

Wang Yongjiang really has a lot of capable people and strange people, sometimes he doesn't even look down on Zhang Zheng, and Qinghe's status as "the handsome son" has no deterrent effect in front of him.

Fortunately, his impression of Qinghe is not bad, and people who know how to repay their kindness are not far behind.

"Director Wang," Qinghe called Wang Yongjiang in the courtyard of the commander's mansion, "I wonder if you have time now, Ziran has something to ask."

Facing Qinghe, Wang Yongjiang always felt awkward.

"Hey, tell me."

Qinghe handed him the document bag in his hand, and said: "This is a document brought by a student who came back from studying porcelain in Tokyo. He wants to open a machine-made porcelain factory in Fengtian. I don't know about these, so I can only ask you for help." gone."

Wang Yongjiang took it over and glanced at it, "It's not a big deal, I'll let someone take a look at it when I go back, and then bring it to you."

It's not that this young man is unambitious, it's also that relying on others is not a long-term solution, and only by making money by himself can he spend it comfortably.

But it's still a bit too arrogant, asking him to handle such a trivial matter, does he really think that the director of the Finance Department is idle on weekdays?

Qinghe is the best at observing words and expressions, and she could hear her impatience from this short sentence, so she could only say: "Director Wang, I know this is an overkill, and such a trivial matter should not bother you, but there is really no one around me. People who understand this."

Wang Yongjiang paused, what does this mean?

Sure enough, Qinghe said: "If you have any talents, you can recommend them to me. Ziran dare not say anything else, and he will definitely not treat him badly in terms of salary."

Wang Yongjiang's expression is very subtle, the young people are playing around, and dare to ask for "talent" in front of him?

Qinghe met his gaze, smiled slightly, and said: "I heard that your son has returned from his studies, but he doesn't want to enter the finance department? Director Wang, Ziran knows that you think I'm just playing around, so of course I'm with your The vision is incomparable, but for the son, it may be better to rely on my own hands to spell it out bit by bit with me."

Wang Yongjiang's eyes were fixed.
