Lost and Spy

Chapter 874 A Good Gift
Ji Quanrong deliberately dressed up, and even had his hair done by a French hairstylist.

The asking price of this French hair stylist is very expensive. For a simple hairstyle, the asking price is equivalent to five dollars.

But in order to make a good impression in front of that Japanese beauty, Ji Quanrong spent the money.

He came to the restaurant early.

Several bodyguards sat scattered.

These are the bodyguards that Wu Sibao personally selected for him.

After waiting there for a while, the waiter opened the door of the restaurant.

Seeing the person coming in, Ji Quanrong's eyes lit up.

Matsumoto Manako!
Today's Manako is wearing a light blue dress with a ponytail, which makes her look more pure and beautiful.

In her hand, she was carrying a bag.

Ji Quanrong vowed that he must get this beauty!

"Miss Matsumoto, please."

Ji Quanrong graciously opened the stool.

"Thank you."

Manako smiled, as charming as she could be.

Ji Quanrong's heart was about to melt: "Miss Matsumoto, let's see what you need to eat."

"It's up to Mr. Ji to decide."

Look, look, this is a woman.

I heard that for Japanese women, men have the highest status at home!

If he can really get this woman, then his good days will come...

……

Meng Shaoyuan was sitting in the car and saw Manako enter the restaurant.

No one is following.

He was a little curious, Habara Koichi, did he really let Mainako go just like that?

……

"Mr. Ji, thank you for your lunch. I'm so sorry."

Manako put down the knife and fork, and took out the bag: "This is a small gift, I hope you don't dislike it."

Ji Quanrong's eyes lit up.

Gift?

A gift from Manako to herself?
Ah, I am handsome and handsome, how can a little girl like Manako resist her charm?
"Thank you so much." Taking the bag, Ji Quanrong's hands trembled slightly: "Can I have a look?"

"Of course, Mr. Ji."

Ji Quanrong carefully took out a box from his bag.

Slightly heavy.

He opened the box and was surprised to find that there was a clock inside.

Send the bell... send the bell...

In the impression of Chinese people, "send bell" and "send bell" are homonyms, which is very unlucky.

Manako didn't notice it at all: "This is our Japanese custom..."

Ji Quanrong still knew some Japanese customs.

The Chinese are very taboo about sending clocks, but the Japanese are different.

In Japan, people are keen on giving bells
Because, in Japanese, Zhong is written as "timepiece", which is homonymous with "Dengqing" and "Denghui", and has the meaning of "festive and auspicious". ,

At the same time, the clock is a symbol of moving forward despite the severe cold and heat throughout the year. Sending the clock has the meaning of encouraging the other party to work hard, look forward to the future, never slack off, and strive upward.

Thinking of this, Ji Quanrong was relieved a lot.

What's more, it was given to me by Mainako.

"Thank you so much." Ji Quanrong put it away solemnly: "Look, Ms. Matsumoto even gave me a gift, but I didn't prepare anything."

Manako smiled: "It doesn't matter, Mr. Ji can also give me a gift when we meet next time."

"sure."

Ji Quanrong wished he could hold Ma Naiko in his arms right now.

It's a pity, my uncle still has something for me to do in the afternoon.

It doesn't matter, since Ma Naiko has already taken a fancy to her, is she still afraid that she won't have a chance?

I am about to become the son-in-law of the Japanese chief...

……

"District Chief Meng, come out."

"Well, I see. After Ji Quanrong leaves, drive the car over immediately."

……

"Miss Matsumoto, I'll see you off."

"Ah, thank you so much, no need. I'm going to do some shopping, and I'll call a rickshaw home later."

"Okay, Ms. Matsumoto, see you next time."

……

A car stopped in front of Ma Naizi, and the door opened: "Do you need me to take you?"

Manako smiled like a flower: "Of course I need it, Mr. Shaoyuan."

……

Ji Quanrong closed his eyes and rested in the car for a while, then opened his eyes, and saw the gift that Manako gave him.

Although this is a Japanese custom, it is really unlucky for a Chinese.

By the way, I'm going to see Mr. Yamamoto, the manager of Japan Tanker Corporation in Shanghai, who is the key economic figure of Japan in Shanghai.

On behalf of Ji's family, he went to discuss cooperation with Mr. Yamamoto.

Wouldn't it be fine to give this clock to Mr. Yamamoto?

It not only pleases the customs of the Japanese, but also sends out unlucky things.

Ji Quanrong laughed when he thought of this...

……

"Manako, you are resting here for a few days, and I will arrange for you to evacuate from Shanghai."

"Mr. Shaoyuan, what about you?"

"I have to go back and come to accompany you when I'm done."

……

Sure enough, Changqing Yamamoto, the Shanghai-based manager of Nippon Oil Tanker Co., Ltd. was very happy to see the gift from Ji Quanrong.

"Always move forward." Yamamoto Changqing said with a smile: "Mr. Ji, the clock you gave is very meaningful. It means that we must seize every minute and second to build a prosperous world. * circle and struggle."

"Yes, Mr. Yamamoto."

Ji Quanrong said flatteringly: "This time I am here on behalf of Boss Ji, and I am also talking about how to carry out comprehensive cooperation with the Japanese Oil Tanker Club."

"We attach great importance to Boss Ji's prestige in Shanghai..."

……

"Wu Jingyi..."

As soon as Meng Shaoyuan entered the office, Wu Jingyi pulled him aside as soon as Meng Shaoyuan spoke, "Someone is looking for you."

"Who?"

Wu Jingyi hesitated for a moment, and said a word in a low voice.

"Ah? Who?"

"real."

Meng Shaoyuan was stunned...

……

"Okay, that's the initial cooperation intention."

Yamamoto Changqing was very satisfied with today's talks, no matter what conditions he put forward, Ji Quanrong agreed without hesitation.

It is said that Ji Yunqing is loyal to the Great Japanese Empire, and now it seems that it is not an exaggeration at all.

Sending the clock, it really has a good meaning.

"We should have a drink."

Changqing Yamamoto stood up.

At this moment, there was a sudden "boom", and a violent explosion filled the entire office!
……

On October 1938, 10, a bomb exploded in the office of the general manager of Nippon Tanker Corporation in Shanghai.

An important representative of the Japanese economy in Shanghai, Changqing Yamamoto, who had organized two assassinations before the KMT but failed, was killed in the bombing.

At the same time, Ji Quanrong, the nephew and grandson of Ji Yunqing, the leader of the Shanghai Bund Youth Gang, was also killed in the bombing.

It is said that the bomb was hidden in a bell brought by Ji Quanrong.

From another point of view, it is very likely that this was a well-prepared assassination. With a bomb, Ji Quanrong met the unsuspecting Yamamoto Changqing.

This person may have been bought by the military commander a long time ago!
So are there other forces behind him supporting him?
……

"Say it again, who wants to see me?" Meng Shaoyuan asked with wide-eyed eyes.

Wu Jingyi said word by word:
"Your father, right now, is waiting to see you in your office!"
