Spy Shadow

Chapter 134 Decadent Businessman

Chu Lingyun wanted her parents to move to Chongqing, but she definitely couldn't do it herself.

He needed to save the country and find a way to let the couple go through it willingly.

This method really works. The couple are both high-level intellectuals with very soft hearts. What they despise the most is that children from poor families cannot afford to study. Every time they meet such students, they will use their salary to subsidize them.

If this were not the case, Chu Lingyun would have been considered a second-generation rich man when he was a child. After all, their incomes were not low.

If you want them to leave Ningcheng, you have to attack their weaknesses.

The information Wang Sheng brought was very detailed. There were many foreign businessmen. In addition to the United Kingdom and the United States, businessmen from some European countries also counted.

Without Japan, Wang Sheng knew Chu Lingyun's attitude towards the Japanese.

After browsing for more than an hour and reading everyone's information, three of them caught Chu Lingyun's attention.

The first one is an American named Allen Smith. Smith came to China five years ago and has been engaged in the medical device business. He is one of the four major foreign medical device suppliers in Nanjing.

Unfortunately, due to poor management and Smith’s poor understanding of China’s national conditions, he not only failed to make money in the past five years, but also suffered a lot of losses.

His company went bankrupt three months ago and is still in Nanjing.

"Wang Sheng is doing a good job."

Chu Lingyun smiled. With such detailed information, it seemed that he had put in a lot of effort.

Smith is a bankrupt businessman, which is very suitable for Chu Lingyun's next plan.

The information contained Smith's address and phone number. Chu Lingyun picked up the phone and dialed the number.

"The phone is logged out?"

Chu Lingyun frowned. The call didn't go through. After asking the telephone company, he found out that the call had been canceled half a month ago, so naturally he couldn't get through.

Without the phone, the only option is door-to-door service.

According to the address in the information, Chu Lingyun came to Shanxi Road. The houses here are good, mostly two- and three-story villas. Many foreigners doing business in Nanjing live here.

"Moved?"

Knocking on Smith's door, Chu Lingyun once again received bad news. Smith moved away half a month ago, and a German couple currently lives here.

Is this Smith so miserable? Not only did he lose his phone, but he also couldn't keep his place of residence?

The new mover didn't know where Smith was, but he gave Chu Lingyun a friendly reminder that he could go to the police station to find out. No matter where Smith moved, foreign businessmen like him needed to register.

Through Wang Sheng, Chu Lingyun finally found Smith's residence. It was in an ordinary private house in the south of the city. The house was not big, with only one main room and a side room, and the furniture inside was very simple.

Smith himself was unkempt, with unkempt beard, and he seemed to have no energy. It took three minutes after Chu Lingyun knocked on the door for him to come out and open the door, and he smelled strongly of alcohol.

"Are you Smith?" His appearance made Chu Lingyun very disappointed. This was not the person he needed.

"Who are you?"

Smith can speak Chinese, but it is very stilted. It is not easy for foreigners to speak Chinese in this era, and there are only a few who can speak Chinese very fluently.

"Sorry to bother you." Chu Lingyun apologized with a smile and turned around to leave.

"Wait a minute, how did you find me, and what do you want from me?"

Smith stopped Chu Lingyun. He had been having a very bad life recently. After his business went bankrupt, all his former friends stayed away from him. Now he couldn't even afford a boat ticket to return to China. He sent telegrams to people in China asking for relief, but received no response.

Now he is trapped in China.

"Sorry, I must have found the wrong person."

Chu Lingyun turned to look at Smith and sighed again. There was no way he could deceive his parents like this. He was afraid that when he saw his parents, they would treat him as a foreign liar.

"Don't leave in a hurry. Are you looking for me for something? Is there anything you can tell me?"

Seeing Chu Lingyun leaving, Smith hurriedly shouted that now he only had a dozen legal coins left in his body. If he had no source of income, he would not be able to live here and would probably become a beggar.

Although Chu Lingyun was young, he looked impressive and was accompanied by bodyguards. No matter why he came to find him, Smith was unwilling to give up. He wanted to ask and see if he could bring any benefits to him.

Chu Lingyun turned around and looked at Smith carefully.

Smith is a typical white man with yellowish hair, a tall nose, and is quite tall. He is thirty-five years old, but he looks like he is in his forties at this time.

"Can you clean yourself up and let me see what you really look like?"

As far as appearance is concerned, Smith is undoubtedly qualified, but his decadent appearance makes Chu Lingyun very dissatisfied.

"No problem, please wait."

Smith agreed immediately, invited Chu Lingyun and others into the room, and closed the outer door, fearing that Chu Lingyun would sneak away while he was changing clothes.

Not long after, Smith came to the living room after cleaning up.

His appearance made Chu Lingyun's eyes light up a little. Smith, who was wearing a fitted suit, had his hair trimmed, and shaved off his beard, looked like a successful businessman, but the decadence was still obvious.

"Sir, what's your surname?"

Smith also boiled water and made a cup of coffee for Chu Lingyun. Even though he was like this, he still had coffee.

"My surname is Chu."

"Hello Mr. Chu, if you need anything, it's fine as long as I can do it, but we need to have a good discussion about the remuneration."

Smith's blunt Chinese made Chu Lingyun sound a little awkward, but fortunately he could understand him.

This Smith is quite smart and knows that he has something to ask for.

"I do have needs, but before that I wanted to know how you became like this. Even if your business fails, with your status and ability, it shouldn't be difficult to find a job, right?"

Chu Lingyun did not directly tell her the purpose of her visit. She had no intention of being honest with her when they met. When it came to the safety of her parents, Chu Lingyun would never be careless.

"I want to find a job, it's easy of course."

Smith raised his head and spoke arrogantly, but soon lost his temper: "The Chinese need me and they can't give me the minimum required remuneration. The only people who can hire me are my former business rivals. Even if I starve to death, It’s impossible to let them trample on my dignity.”

When he said this, Chu Lingyun instantly understood that this was an American with a proud personality.

They all ended up like this. They stopped working when the income was low, and they were unwilling to work for their former rivals, so they became what they are now.

"In that case, why don't you return home?" Chu Lingyun asked again.

Smith showed embarrassment, but still said: "I want to go back, but I don't have enough money left to buy a boat ticket back to China."
