Fu Quan'an put down the phone and was thinking about it. Yuan Ye was also busy. He realized that Yamada Hiroshi's arrival might be an opportunity. Fu Quan'an would definitely bring people to the city hall gate to welcome Yamada Hiroshi. Wang Jianwu was standing guard at the gate and was closest to Fu Quan'an. It would be easier to assassinate him at this time.

He felt it necessary to reveal the arrival of Yamada Hiroshi to Su Xiwu. With Su Xiwu's intelligence, he would surely perceive that this was a good opportunity for assassination. He asked Qian Hao and Wang Jianwu to be prepared. Moreover, if he reported such important information to Su Xiwu, Su Xiwu would surely trust him more. This was a good thing that killed two birds with one stone.

After Yuan Ye finished his thought, he stood up and went to the Secretary-General's office.

Su Xiwu seemed to be in a very good mood, and Yuan Ye knew why he was so happy. He thought that he would be even happier if he told him about the arrival of the Japanese consultant.

Su Xiwu saw Yuan Ye coming and stood up to make a cup of tea for Yuan Ye. Yuan Ye looked flattered and quickly stepped forward to grab the cup and said:

"Then I can ask the teacher to make me some tea, and I can do it myself."

Su Xiwu smiled and said:

"Okay, come to my place and be more casual next time. Just make your own tea. I drank the Longjing tea you gave me last time, and it was really good."

"That's great. If the teacher likes it, I'll give her some next time."

Yuan Ye also smiled. He clearly felt Su Xiwu's closeness and felt that the work he had done during this period was very effective.

Su Xiwu laughed and said:

"I appreciate your kindness. Your salary is enough to buy it several times."

Su Xiwu knew that the clerks in the secretarial department only earned 80 yuan a month, and they had to support their families, so how much could they have left?

But Su Xiwu was still very pleased. Hundreds of people in the entire city government compound knew that he and Fu Quan'an had a bad relationship and were trying to avoid him. Only a few people dared to get close to him. However, his student did not avoid suspicion and continued to show respect to him, even giving him his family heirloom, the purple gold stone inkstone. This was very rare.

In addition, this student is quite talented and smart, and is even more worthy of being won over. Thinking of this, Su Xiwu said:

"Do you want to start a business and make some money? I think you are smart, I can help you."

Su Xiwu decided to give Yuan Ye some sweet benefits so that Yuan Ye would follow him wholeheartedly, just like he thought Qian Hao was smart and a promising talent, so he promoted Qian Hao and won him over, making Qian Hao grateful to him and serve him.

Yuan Ye was overjoyed, because he had this idea a long time ago. He had a considerable amount of capital in his hands. He had thought about how to turn this dead money into living money to earn more money, but he couldn't find a suitable way out for a while.

Now Su Xiwu's proposal was an opportunity. He knew that Su Xiwu also had his own industries, especially a company called Hongda Trading Company, which did a big business. Su Xiwu studied economics when he studied in Japan. He had a good business mind and connections with the Japanese. He was doing well in both the political and business circles.

Su Xiwu agreed to help him, and Yuan Ye of course knew it very well. This was Su Xiwu's intention to win him over and make him work for him in the future. It was just a good opportunity for him to go with the flow, so why not do it?

So Yuan Ye said:

"I want to start a business and make money, but I don't have the right way. If there are teachers who can help me, I will be grateful to them."

"Doing business is not difficult, but it is difficult to grasp business opportunities. Now is an extraordinary period. Shanghai and the mainland are short of supplies, so there are a lot of business opportunities. However, these business opportunities are not something that everyone can grasp. You also need connections. I can introduce you to sources of goods in Hong Kong, and you can ship them to Shanghai. Of course, these are all smuggled goods. I have connections with the Japanese, and I can help you get them through there and get your goods released. Once you sell the goods in Shanghai, you can make two or three times the profit. It is hard not to make money."

When Yuan Ye heard this, he was overjoyed and immediately said:

"Thank you for your help, teacher. I will never forget you when I make money."

"Well, this is just a piece of cake, nothing to worry about. Just start small and take your time, and you'll be on the right track soon.

However, you can run a business without interfering with your work, and you can find someone to help you manage it.”

Su Xiwu reminded him that he knew Yuan Ye's value lay in the municipal government, and he certainly couldn't let Yuan Ye leave his position in the Secretary Section to do business, as this would go against his original intention.

Yuan Ye naturally knew what Su Xiwu meant and said:

"Teacher, don't worry, I will never affect my work for the sake of doing business. I still want to serve you like a slave."

Su Xiwu was very satisfied with Yuan Ye's statement. This student was indeed a smart man. He understood what he meant and immediately expressed his loyalty. This was exactly what he wanted to see. It seemed that his way of winning people's hearts was really effective.

Su Xiwu nodded and said:

"What is Fu Quan'an busy with recently?"

He originally only asked Yuan Ye indirectly, but now he no longer hides the truth. He has already regarded Yuan Ye as his eyes and ears in the secretarial department.

Su Xiwu asked directly about Fu Quan'an's situation. This was the first time for Yuan Ye. Yuan Ye knew that this meant that Su Xiwu had accepted him. Of course, it was unlikely that he would completely regard him as his own in such a short period of time.

Yuan Ye said:

"I was just about to report to the teacher. I heard from Section Chief Chai that Foreign Minister Chen Lu will come to Shanghai at noon tomorrow. It is said that it is for the issue of changing the flag of the concession. I don't know the specific situation. Fu Quan'an will go to the train station to meet Chen Lu."

"Oh, such an important matter was not reported in the newspapers at all. It seems that the news blockade is still very strict. But this is not surprising. There was a commotion in the concession a while ago because of the flag change. In addition, Chen Lu was being watched by the Shancheng authorities. Two assassination attempts on him failed. If they knew he came to Shanghai, they would definitely not let him go. This matter must be kept secret."

"Yes, this matter will definitely be kept secret. I also heard that Fu Quan'an received a notice from the Japanese Central China Front Command that the new Japanese consultant will come to the city government to take office in four days."

Yuan Ye knew that Su Xiwu would definitely be interested in this news.

Sure enough, when Su Xiwu heard this, he did not speak immediately, but fell into thought.

Su Xiwu was such a smart man that he immediately realized that this was a good opportunity. When the Japanese consultant arrived, Fu Quan'an would have to go to the gate of the city hall to greet him out of courtesy. He remembered that when Sasaki came, Fu Quan'an also went to the gate to greet him in person, and this time would be no exception. This created a perfect opportunity for Wang Jianwu, who was standing guard at the gate, to assassinate Fu Quan'an at close range. It seemed that just as Qian Hao said, God was on his side, Su Xiwu.
