Traveling through the Republic of China to become a special agent, the system is very easy for me

Yuan Ye said modestly:

"Thank you for your encouragement, Mr. Iwai. I don't think I can reach your level no matter how hard I try."

Iwai Yuichi laughed and said:

"Don't underestimate yourself. You are the smartest young Chinese person I have ever met. Your teacher told me that he is also optimistic about you.

To be honest, being a small clerk in the secretariat of the municipal government is really a waste of your talents. I admire you very much. Are you interested in working for me?

I heard from your teacher that you know several foreign languages. I need talents like you here. I will not treat you unfairly. I can even recommend you to a higher position in the government in the future."

After Iwai Yuichi finished speaking, he looked directly at Yuan Ye, observing his reaction.

Yuan Ye was not surprised by Iwai Yuichi's words. He had guessed that Iwai Yuichi might have this purpose. It seemed that Iwai Yuichi really admired him.

However, working at Iwai Mansion has its pros and cons. The pro is that you can be closer to the Japanese, but the con is that you will have less freedom in the future, and your status will not be as detached as it is now.

He was not afraid that others would call him a traitor. He was in Cao's camp but his heart was with Han. He did it all for the sake of resisting Japan. He was not a real traitor, so he had no concerns.

Even if he had thought it over and agreed to work in Iwai Mansion in the future, he could not agree to it immediately. Iwai Yuichi was a cunning and experienced spy chief. If he agreed too readily, it would arouse his suspicion.

Yuan Ye pretended to be very surprised and said:

"I am flattered that Mr. Iwai thinks highly of me. However, this happened suddenly, so I would like to ask Mr. Iwai to give me some time to think about it."

Iwai Yuichi was slightly stunned. Yuan Ye's answer was somewhat beyond his expectations. His wish was still very tempting. Few people would not agree immediately and miss this opportunity.

I wondered, was this a polite refusal, or did he really need some time to think about it?

In fact, from Iwai Yuichi's subconscious mind, he did not want Yuan Ye to agree immediately. This would make him re-examine this young man in his mind, and instead make him feel uneasy.

On the other hand, he didn't want Yuan Ye to refuse his invitation. After all, he admired this young man very much and hoped to use him for his own benefit.

This is indeed a very subtle mentality, and only Iwai Yuichi himself can understand it.

Yuan Ye's answer was in line with Iwai Yuichi's mentality, and made Iwai Yuichi hope that Yuan Ye could be used for his own purposes even more.

He didn't see anything unusual on Yuan Ye's face, so he was more willing to believe that Yuan Ye needed time to consider rather than a tactful refusal.

Iwai Yuichi's expression quickly returned to normal and he smiled:

"Okay, Shi Kaijun, you can think about it carefully. I'll wait for your reply."

"Thank you, Mr. Iwai. I've thought about it and will get back to you as soon as possible."

Yuan Ye said respectfully.

"No matter if I am from the Iwai Mansion or not, as long as Mr. Iwai needs my help, you can always come to me. As long as I can help, I will do it without hesitation."

Iwai Yuichi was very happy with Yuan Ye's statement. He was moved and said to Yuan Ye:

"Shi Kaijun, before you think about it, I need your help with something."

"Mr. Iwai, what is this?"

Yuan Ye asked curiously.

I thought I was just making a gesture, but I didn't expect Iwai Yuichi to climb up the pole and immediately ask for my help. I didn't know what it was, whether I could do it, and whether it was dangerous.

Yuan Ye even regretted his previous statement. Of course, he also wanted to let Iwai Yuichi know that he did not reject Iwai Yuichi's proposal, so as to prevent him from misunderstanding and thinking that his statement of considering it was a euphemism for rejecting him, thus causing unnecessary trouble. After all, this Japanese man was still very powerful and he could not offend him now.

"This matter is very simple. Before you leave the Secretary Section, I hope that you can help me pay attention to the situation of the municipal government, especially the mayor Fu Quan'an. You can report any situation to me."

Iwai Yuichi took a sip of wine and said.

"Okay, Mr. Iwai, that's no problem, but is there anything I need to pay attention to?"

Yuan Ye asked, pretending not to understand.

He was relieved. This matter was indeed simple. He thought, didn't Iwai Yuichi accept Fu Quan'an's generous gift yesterday? Could he target Fu Quan'an again? It seems that being a dog of the Japanese is really not easy.

He thought again, does Fu Quan'an really not know that it is not easy to be a dog for the Japanese?

Given his cunningness, he must have known that the reason he was still determined to be a traitor and a loyal dog of the Japanese was because he was willing to sell out the interests of the country and the nation for power. This kind of person really deserves to be put to death.

Yuan Ye couldn't help but worry about bribing Zhu Xiang again, and he didn't know what the situation was like today.

Iwai Yu nodded and said:

"Be careful not to be too obvious and don't let others notice. You just need to use your eyes and ears to see normally. You don't need to do anything special, just pay a little attention."

Iwai Yuichi knew that Yuan Ye was not a professionally trained agent, and the requirements for him were not high. He just needed someone to keep an eye on the place.

"Is that so? Then I know what to do."

Yuan Ye drank the wine in the glass.

Iwai Yuichi then drank the wine in his glass. Yuan Ye picked up the wine pot and poured wine for him and himself, then said:

"Mr. Iwai, you still have work to do this afternoon. How about I suggest this be your last drink?"

"I really have to work in the afternoon, so I can't drink too much. I'll find a chance to drink again next time."

After Iwai Yuichi finished speaking, he asked Yuan Ye casually:

"I led the investigation team to the municipal government yesterday. Fu Quan'an was very tight-lipped and didn't tell me anything. He only invited me to his office to appreciate two Tang Yin paintings and calligraphy.

A series of things happened in the municipal government. I feel that I don’t know much about his situation and I’m a little worried. So I think it’s necessary to pay attention to his situation from now on. That’s why I asked you to pay attention to him.

Your Secretary Section 1 directly serves him, so you should know his situation best. Is there any new development of Mayor Fu recently?"

Yuan Ye was stunned. Do you still need to ask me about this? Didn't Fu Quan'an tell him that he was going to negotiate with the concession authorities to take back the Shancheng government's jurisdiction in the concession and the police power in the area where the road was built beyond the boundary?

He actually said that Fu Quan'an didn't tell him anything and was just appreciating ancient calligraphy and paintings. What did he mean by telling this lie?

These two things are still in the confidential stage. Should I tell him?

Why did he do this? Was he testing himself?
