Yuan Ye saw that everyone was looking at him with a serious expression. It seemed as if he was the head of the family. Ever since they learned about Yuan Ye's situation from Gu Yan, Yuan Ye's status in the family had indeed been raised invisibly.

Yuan Ye said:

"Mom and Dad, you've also heard from Gu Yan that I'm planning to start a business, and my teacher, Secretary-General Su from the municipal government, has agreed to help me.

But I need to organize the supply of goods in Hong Kong, so I need someone in Hong Kong to help me purchase the goods. Secretary-General Su will introduce me to the source of goods and help me to smooth out the relationship. These goods are in-demand materials, and there are two to three times the profit if they are shipped to Shanghai and sold.

That's what the high-ranking officials do, so this opportunity is rare.

The person who helps me purchase goods in Hong Kong must be someone I trust. I borrowed 50,000 US dollars from others as capital, which is a large sum of money. How can I feel at ease if it is not someone I trust?

I have work and cannot go, so I want you to go to Hong Kong and live there temporarily to help me purchase supplies. Hong Kong is not occupied by the Japanese, so it is safe there, and I will feel at ease with you staying there. What do you think?"

When Yuan Zhiqian heard this, he felt a little hesitant. Deep down, he was unwilling to leave Hangzhou and go to Hong Kong where he was unfamiliar with the place.

But this business opportunity for his son is very important. He also knows that not everyone can do this business. Without connections, it is impossible to do it. This is a business that can make a lot of money.

My son has borrowed so much money as capital. What if someone else runs away with the money? How can he pay them back? He can only feel at ease if he does it himself.

Moreover, I have been doing business for more than 20 years and am very familiar with purchasing goods. I will not be easily cheated by others. It seems that I have to go.

Yuan Zhiqian thought of this, sighed, and said:

"Okay, Shi Kai, I'll go and help you, I really don't feel comfortable letting anyone else go.

You are still young and I am old, so I should focus on your affairs.

But I'm just living there temporarily, I'll have to go back to Hangzhou eventually."

"Thank you, Dad. I knew you would help me."

Yuan Ye said happily.

Yuan Ye's mother naturally had no objection. Her son was the center of everything. At first, she was worried that Yuan Ye's father would not agree, but when she saw that he agreed after hesitating for a while, she was relieved.

"Brother, am I going to Hong Kong too?"

Yuan Wan asked.

Thinking about leaving his familiar teachers and classmates, he looked reluctant.

"You can go too. You can learn English in Hong Kong. Gu Yu will also go there after a while. It will be good for you to have company and make more friends.

My brother may need your help in international trade in the future, don't you want to help him?"

Yuan Ye said with a smile.

Yuan's mother also said:

"We've all gone to Hong Kong. How are you going to live in Hangzhou? You're all going to school anyway, so it doesn't matter where you go. You'll feel more at ease with us around. Besides, it's not like you won't be coming back in the future."

When Yuan Wan heard that Gu Yu would also go, she finally had a companion and would come back in the future, so she didn't say anything and expressed her agreement.

Yuan Ye was very happy to see that his family agreed to go to Hong Kong. As for whether they would come back in the future, they would decide when the time came. The Japanese would not invade Hong Kong for more than two years. During this period, at least they were safe. He had no worries and could focus on his work.

He raised his glass and said emotionally:

"Mom, Dad and Wanmei, thank you for your support. I will visit you in Hong Kong when I have time. Cheers to our next reunion in Hong Kong."

After saying that, he drank it all in one gulp. He felt that today's wine was particularly sweet.

"Shi Kai, we are a family, so don't say thank you, we will fully support you.

I wish Shikai's business success!"

After Yuan Zhiqian finished speaking, he picked up the wine glass and drank it all.

……

In the evening, Yuan Ye took his family back to his apartment. He and his father lived in one room, and his mother and Yuan Wan lived in another room. After settling in, he thought of calling Su Xiwu. Su Xiwu should be back and might be waiting for his call. If he didn't make this call, he was afraid that he would not be able to sleep well tonight.

Of course he couldn't play in his own home, so he made the excuse of going out to buy a pack of cigarettes, but his mother nagged him again, asking him to smoke less for the sake of his health, or even quit smoking altogether. Yuan Ye smiled and said, "Okay, okay, I'll quit smoking in the future," and went out anyway.

He went to a telephone booth on the corner and dialed the number of Su Xiwu's mansion.

The call was quickly connected, but it was Butler Ding who answered. Yuan Ye asked:

"Excuse me, has the Secretary General returned? I have something to report to him."

"The Secretary General just came back not long ago. I'll ask him to answer the phone."

After a while, Su Xiwu's voice sounded:

"I'm Su Xiwu."

There was a sense of fatigue in his voice.

"It's already been done. I was afraid you'd be worried, so I called you to tell you. I'll report the details to you tomorrow."

Yuan Ye knew that he couldn't say too much on the phone, so it was better to be cautious. Anyway, he had to accompany Su Xiwu to Iwai Mansion tomorrow, so they could talk in detail then.

"Okay, we'll talk about it when we meet tomorrow."

Su Xiwu also knew that he couldn't say too much on the phone, so he hung up the phone, feeling relieved. As long as Qian Hao escaped from Shanghai, nothing could threaten him anymore.

He was very satisfied with Yuan Ye's performance. This person was very cautious in doing things. He heard from Butler Ding that Yuan Ye did not come to his mansion, but called Butler Ding to tell Qian Hao to make another call, and he paid the money himself.

He felt a little strange at the time, but soon realized that his mansion might be under surveillance.

In order to confirm his guess, he deliberately observed the situation at the front and back doors from the upstairs windows and found that something was indeed wrong. There were some people he felt were very suspicious. This had never happened at his doorstep before and he didn't even notice it when he came back just now.

This almost made him break out in a cold sweat. He should have thought of this. Since Fu Quan'an and the Japanese suspected that Qian Hao was instructed by him, they might send people to monitor this place.

But he didn't expect that he would ask Yuan Ye to come to his mansion. If Yuan Ye came to the mansion and contacted Qian Hao, and then was followed out to meet Qian Hao, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Fortunately, Yuan Ye was cautious enough. He must have thought of this, so he came up with a solution in advance. This solution was clever enough. Not only did it not alert the surveillance personnel, but it also successfully contacted Qian Hao. He was really a smart man.

Su Xiwu was very glad that he asked Yuan Ye to do this, which was undoubtedly a very wise choice.

He could sleep well tonight, and he even saw the mayor's throne beckoning to him.
