Chapter 201 A Bigger Stage
"Ah, this may not be a good idea," He Yuehua said, "He is the military attaché of the consulate in Shanghai."
"Secretary He, you need to know your identity." Chen Yang said with a serious expression: "You need to figure it out. I don't need you to decide who I want to see and who I don't want to see."
"You tell him to go back where he came from."
"If there is a military warrant for inquiry, I will definitely cooperate with his investigation."
"What's so serious that it requires a warrant?" At this moment, a warm voice came from the door.
Chen Yang raised his head and was stunned.
"Aunt, why are you back? Didn't you say that things weren't going well and would take some time?" Standing at the door was Li Xianshu, whom she hadn't seen for a long time.
Today, Li Xianshu wore a purple cheongsam, which was rare for her. Her makeup was also very delicate, as if she was going to meet some important person.
"I have something urgent to do." Li Xianshu replied with a smile, and waved her hand, "Inukai-kun, if you have any questions, please ask me in person."
Behind him, Inukai Ken walked out with an embarrassed look on his face.
"Hello, Special Assistant Chen." Inukai Ken took a breath, calmed his mind and said, "There was a murder in the French Concession. This person came to Plum Blossom Tower yesterday and met you. Kuroda asked me to inquire about it."
"Who was here yesterday?" Chen Yang asked casually, "So many people come in and out of my place every day. Who are you talking about?"
"Oh, that person's name is Zhou Yuanyi, and he is the Commissioner of the Ministry of Finance of the new Jinling government."
"Him." Chen Yang suddenly said, "I've seen him before. I have an impression of him."
"He came to me because of the last time Commissioner Ma from the Ministry of Finance came to collect supplies."
"Is the position of Jinling Finance Commissioner bad feng shui? Why is it so easy for someone to die?"
Inukai Ken agreed with a smile and asked cautiously, "Besides talking about supplies, is there anything else to discuss?"
"Like, he wants to invest in your business?"
"I did say that once or twice." Chen Yang spread his hands and said, "Jinling's finances are tight. I originally wanted to find them some profitable businesses to maintain their basic expenses."
"However, Commissioner Zhou doesn't seem to be interested in this."
Inukai Ken suddenly realized that Chen Yang's Huazhong Oil Industry was in a loss-making state and he needed to find someone to take over.
Zhou Yuanyi obviously saw through Chen Yang's intention, so he did not invest any money.
That being said, he really had no reason to kill Zhou Yuanyi.
Why would you choose to kill someone when you haven't even gotten the money?
Inukai Ken nodded repeatedly and said, "I've finished asking questions. It seems that the death of Commissioner Zhou really has nothing to do with Special Assistant Chen."
"Assistant Chen, I'm sorry to bother you."
Chen Yang was too lazy to talk too much, and said, "Secretary He, please send Inukai-kun down."
Inukai Ken repeatedly said no and ran away.
"Chen Yang, you should be more polite to them." Li Xianshu shook her head again and again after seeing this scene.
"I heard that you held a gun to Section Chief Otani's head in the Special Higher Section and handed your resignation to Major General Sato Fumio."
"That's really bold."
Chen Yang shrugged his shoulders and said, "I'm fine. Why should I be afraid of them? You know, I am still the head of the Vertical Words Section on the surface. The consulate has the right to assist me in managing all matters related to the transportation of materials."
"If I don't teach them a lesson, these idiots will think I'm easy to talk to."
"Besides, I have made it very clear to General Sato that if the Empire is not confident in leaving the transportation matters to me, I can resign from the position of head of the Vertical Characters Section at any time."
Li Xianshu sighed and said, "Chen Yang, you come from a martial arts background, you should understand that in martial arts there is a saying that hardness cannot last long and softness cannot be defended."
"It's not a good thing for you to be so tough in your attitude towards things."
"We should be flexible in everything and give the other party some wiggle room."
"Flexibility?" Chen Yang laughed and said, "It depends on who you are dealing with. Not everyone is qualified to make me flexible."
Li Xianshu was not angry after hearing this. She felt from the bottom of her heart that Chen Yang was doing a good job now.
He has a somewhat tough attitude of a superior, which is in line with the empire's usual combat strategy. No wonder Yoshikawa, Sato and others speak highly of him.
"Okay, let's not talk about those things anymore. I came here because I want you to come with me."
"Go meet Tang Shaoyi."
"Tang Shaoyi." Chen Yang was stunned when he heard the name, and patted his forehead in confusion, "Is he the Mr. Tang who became a lower-ranking official but became more and more famous?"
"Oh, you know him." Li Xianshu nodded and said, "Yes, it's him."
This person's name was still very famous at that time.
He once served as the Governor-General of Beiyang Zhili, in charge of Tianjin Customs, and also served as Minister of Peace Treaty and Governor of Fengtian.
When Yuan Shikai restored the monarchy and proclaimed himself emperor, he was the first prime minister.
Later, Yuan Shikai was attacked by everyone. After he fell out with Yuan Shikai, he joined the Allied Forces and was later reused by Mr. Sun Yat-sen.
In 1932, he was invited to serve as the county magistrate of Zhongshan County.
In 1934, Chen Jitang, through his cronies, instigated county soldiers in Zhongshan to suddenly launch a mutiny in the name of demanding pay. They surrounded Tang Shaoyi's residence and forced him to resign.
Afterwards, he left Guangdong and settled in Shanghai. It can be said that this man's reputation in the south is extremely outstanding.
From prime minister to county magistrate, he can go up or down, bend or stretch.
He doesn't seem to care that much about fame, wealth and power. Does Li Xianshu want to find him?
"I've also seen your performance these days." Li Xianshu said calmly, "They don't let you access intelligence because they're afraid you might have problems."
"But the more you behave like this, the more they will doubt you."
"I've thought about it. The new government wants to form its own special committee. These people have no skills, but they have great ambitions."
"In that case, I might as well arrange for you to join. I hope you can serve as the deputy director of the new government's special committee and be in charge of the daily intelligence information collection and screening work."
"As for the position of director, it is just an empty title. In the future, Deputy Prime Minister Wang will concurrently hold the position."
"The intelligence work still needs you to take charge."
"This, this is not good," Chen Yang was stunned when he heard it.
As the deputy director of the new government's secret service committee, in charge of intelligence work, that does not mean he will be No. 76's immediate superior in the future.
Chen Yang waved his hands repeatedly and said, "It's not appropriate. This is really not appropriate."
"I am now the variable that is most likely to cause problems in the eyes of others,"
"If you ask me to do intelligence work again, it would be like roasting me on the fire."
Li Xianshu seemed to have known that Chen Yang would say this, and smiled slightly and said: "I have discussed this matter with Major General Yingzuo, and he also thinks that you can be competent for this position."
"Chen Yang, you will enter the power center in the future. Although transportation is good, this little capital is not enough."
"You need a bigger stage..."
[I have written 200 chapters, and suddenly I realized that I need to expand the scope, so I will write on a grand scale. Can you all support me and write a little for love? ]
