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

Yuan Ye left He Li and soon came to Su Xiwu's mansion. He knocked on the gate, and soon a small door in the main gate of the courtyard wall opened. Butler Li stuck his head out and saw a strange young man standing outside the door.

He asked coldly:

"Who are you? What's going on?"

Yuan Ye said:

"Is the Secretary-General at home? I am the Secretary-General's student, Yuan Shikai, and I also work at the municipal government.

Please inform the Secretary-General. I have something to report to him."

After that, he took out his work ID from the municipal government and handed it to Butler Li. He knew that Butler Li didn't recognize him. After all, this was his first time here, so he needed to prove his identity before he could report.

Butler Li took the certificate, took a look at it, and returned it to Yuan Ye with a much better attitude.

Said:

"It's Secretary Yuan. The Secretary General is at home. Wait a moment. I'll go tell the Secretary General."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

After a while, Butler Li came back with a smile on his face and said:

"The Secretary General asked you to go see him, please come with me."

Yuan Ye followed Butler Li into the mansion and went to the study on the second floor.

The door of the study was open. Su Xiwu was sitting behind the desk. When he saw Yuan Ye coming in, he said enthusiastically:

"Shi Kai, you're here. This is your first time here, right? Hurry up and sit down and talk."

Then he said to Butler Li:

"Go make a pot of good tea right away."

Butler Li responded and walked out.

Yuan Ye said respectfully:

"Teacher, this is indeed my first time here. Originally, you asked me to come to the mansion for Qian Hao's incident last time, but later I realized something was wrong and didn't come in. Otherwise, this would be my second time here today."

Su Xiwu immediately sighed:

"It was all thanks to you last time. If someone else had done it, who knows what the consequences would have been.

You are indeed smart and capable, so I admire you very much! ”

Su Xiwu's words were not just a polite remark, but came from the bottom of his heart. He knew that if Yuan Ye had not handled Qian Hao's matter so well, he would probably be in prison now.

In his heart, he was still very grateful to this student, and he admired and trusted him.

Yuan Ye said modestly:

"Thank you for the compliment, teacher. It is my duty as a student to do small things for you. It shows that I trust you."

Su Xiwu saw Yuan Ye still standing and talking, and said angrily:

"Shi Kai, don't feel shy coming to my place. Come, let's sit down and talk."

After he finished speaking, he stood up from behind the desk and walked to Yuan Ye. He pulled Yuan Ye to sit on the sofa by the wall, sitting side by side to show their closeness.

The more he looked at Yuan Ye, the more he liked him. He was extremely talented, yet humble and not arrogant, which was very much to his liking.

More importantly, judging from a series of events during this period, he is very loyal to himself.

Although he was nominally the second-in-command of the city government, he was not well-received in the city government. However, Yuan Ye did not avoid suspicion and was always close to him, which was truly commendable.

Even someone as arrogant as Iwai Yuichi looked at him with admiration, praised him highly, and wanted to use him for his own purposes, which shows how extraordinary he is.

Su Xiwu asked kindly:

"Shi Kai, you came to me this evening and said you had something to report. What was it?"

When Butler Li came to the study to report just now, Su Xiwu realized that Yuan Ye's visit in the evening must be for important information to report.

Yuan Ye was about to speak when Butler Li came in with a teapot, and Yuan Ye immediately stopped talking.

Su Xiwu saw this and secretly praised the student for being very cautious.

This made him even more excited about what Yuan Ye was going to report.

After Butler Li poured the tea, left the study and closed the door, Yuan Ye spoke:

"Teacher, I got a message that Wang Jingwei secretly arrived in Shanghai this morning. I wonder if you know about it?"

Yuan Ye didn't know whether Su Xiwu knew or not, but after he finished speaking, Su Xiwu fell into deep thought, and he knew that Su Xiwu probably didn't know. What would he think of this news?

When Su Xiwu heard the news, he was shocked. He was a smart man and naturally knew what it meant.

He really didn't know before. After all, he had been sidelined for so long and was not as well-informed as Fu Quan'an.

Although Iwai Yuichi knew about it, he did not tell him. Perhaps he thought the matter was still confidential and could not be told for the time being.

Or maybe I wanted to tell him, but I was too busy and forgot.

It may also be that he thought this matter might be insignificant to Su Xiwu.

But Su Xiwu didn't think so. He knew that Wang Jingwei's arrival in Shanghai meant that the establishment of a new national government had been put on the agenda and would be carried out in full swing.

This means that many positions will be vacant and many positions in the original reform government may have to be replaced, which is a good opportunity for him.

He had to climb up to the high branch of Wang Jingwei in order to get an important position.

This was something he urgently needed to do right now, and he had to do it quickly, otherwise someone else would get there first. After all, positions don't wait for anyone.

But is this news true?

He himself didn’t know, so how did his student know?

Su Xiwu asked calmly:

"Shi Kai, how did you get this information? Is it reliable?"

Yuan Ye knew that these old foxes were inherently suspicious, and he didn't know whether this was an advantage or a disadvantage.

Su Xiwu was naturally no exception, and Yuan Ye was not surprised by his doubts about himself.

He said with certainty:

"This is what Section Chief Chai told me when he got off work this afternoon. He told me that this afternoon, he accompanied Mayor Fu to meet with Wang Jingwei."

Now Su Xiwu no longer doubted the authenticity of the news. However, he was still shocked when he heard that Fu Quan'an went to see Wang Jingwei in the afternoon!

I didn’t expect that this old guy would get there first!

This made him a little disappointed. He had just had an idea to go to see Wang Jingwei tomorrow with a large sum of money and ask Iwai Yuichi for help. He would take the opportunity of establishing a new government to take back the position of mayor from the old thief. Now it seemed dangerous.

But he was not particularly surprised. What he could think of, Fu Quan'an should have thought of as well.

He was appointed as the mayor of Shanghai by the Nanjing Reform Government. When the new National Government was established, the Nanjing Reform Government naturally ceased to exist, and the position of mayor of Shanghai had to be appointed by the newly established National Government.

If Fu Quan'an wants to keep his position, he must get closer to Wang Jingwei. Wang Jingwei is more informed than himself, so he will naturally go to see Wang Jingwei first and do everything he can, and of course he will spare no expense. But who knows what the result will be?

Su Xiwu asked again:

"Did Chief Chai tell me about their meeting?"

Yuan Ye knew that Su Xiwu was concerned about the outcome of their meeting, so he nodded and said:

"Chief Chai told me that Mayor Fu not only offered a large sum of money to Wang Jingwei, but also promised to withdraw more funds from the city's treasury to support Wang Jingwei in establishing a new national government.

Wang Jingwei was very happy and encouraged Mayor Fu, promising him to continue to be the mayor of Shanghai.

Su Xiwu frowned. He was not surprised by the result. Maybe he had no hope for the position of mayor, but there were other important positions in the new national government that he could still strive for. It was just that the competition would be fierce.

Should I go to visit Wang Jingwei tomorrow and do some work?

Will it be too late to know the news about myself?

Is it possible to spend money but not get what you want?

He was a little hesitant. If he had known the news earlier, he wouldn't have been so conflicted.

He wanted to hear Yuan Ye's opinion. This student of his was a smart man and might be able to give him some good advice.

Su Xiwu looked at Yuan Ye expectantly and said:

"I plan to go and see Wang Jingwei tomorrow, but considering that even Fu Quan'an has already gone there, will it be too late for me to go tomorrow?

Shi Kai, do you think I should go tomorrow?

I'd love to hear what you think?"
