Chapter 179: Thank you for helping me
If the godfather really signs the contract as soon as he sees it, that shows his purpose is not pure.
Now, carefully examining the contract actually proves he wants to start a company.
"How much capital are you preparing to invest?" Chen Dian continued asking: "We..."
Chen Yongren thought for a moment, placed the briefcase on the table, and gestured for Chen Dian to open it himself.
Although Chen Dian was doubtful, he still opened the box himself.
As soon as a gap opened in the box, Chen Dian hastily closed it.
Money.
The box is full of money!
If I'm not mistaken, everything inside the box is US dollars.
Chen Dian rubbed his eyes, looked, thinking he was doubtful, glanced at Chen Yongren, and still thought he was mistaken.
"Any problems?" Chen Yongren asked deliberately.
Chen Dian said nothing and abruptly opened the box.
Although he was mentally prepared, seeing that box full of greenbacks, he couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air.
So much money?
"Godfather… this…"
The money Chen Yongren prepared completely exceeded Chen Dian's expectations.
He had thought it would be at most ten or twenty thousand dollars, but the actual amount taken out far exceeded his imagination.
"Not too much, not too little, a total of fifty thousand dollars." Chen Yongren smiled: "Since we're starting a company, let's start a big one; that benefits both sides."
"If you can quickly grow the business, I'll get a larger share."
This godfather before us is truly wealthy and imposing.
When people are poor, their ambitions are short, and horses are thin with long hair; now is not the time to rush ahead.
Chen Dian pondered for a moment, realizing the organization indeed lacked funds, and with money in hand he could do more, so he ultimately nodded in agreement.
The two parties quickly signed the contract.
Two copies, one each.
Before parting, Chen Dian again sincerely thanked Chen Yongren, then took the money and left the hotel.
Chen Yongren also didn't think too much.
Investing to start a company is a long-term business; the greatest benefits will come later!
Because his own code name had been leaked, to avoid the Japanese noticing any clues, Chen Yongren also temporarily halted all external activities during this period.
In order to better gain Fujiwara Chinta's trust and secure his reliance, Chen Yongren would occasionally leak some trivial, half-true half-false information to him during this period to confuse him.
Moreover.
Chen Yongren also deliberately set up some fake contact points in Songhu, leaving behind Military Statistics Bureau-related documents so that the Ninth Group's "eradication" could earn more merit.
I've mastered this set of tricks myself, played with great skill by Chen Yongren, and never made a mistake.
Fujiwara Chinta grew increasingly satisfied with Chen Yongren's performance.
Of course.
All of this, Chen Yongren had obtained approval from his superiors.
All telegraph correspondence records were placed by Chen Yongren in the system warehouse.
Even if something happens later, it's absolutely a non-stick pan.
Fujiwara Chinta increasingly felt that discovering Chen Yongren, establishing the Ninth Group to assist his work, was an extremely correct choice.
Hua Lei, under Chen Yongren's careful guidance, also made rapid progress.
After testing, ordinary petty thieves simply cannot withstand three moves from Hua Lei.
Chen Yongren also occasionally does her makeup, letting her perform some liaison tasks.
Hua Lei always completes them perfectly.
However, Hua Lei still does not know Chen Yongren's true identity.
Chen Yongren is also waiting for a suitable opportunity to tell Hua Lei the truth.
Not only Hua Lei, but also Fujiwara Linai has made progress.
Under Chen Yongren's staff education, Fujiwara Linai's Chinese proficiency also improved quickly.
Under Chen Yongren's careful guidance and Fujiwara Linai's personal experience, they also gained a profound understanding of idioms such as "hesitating," "playing to strengths and avoiding weaknesses," and "time flies like an arrow."
She also finally understood.
What is meant by "practice yields true knowledge"?
Under Fujiwara Chinta's direction, Chen Yongren occasionally visits the hospital to see Fujiwara Xiuji.
After two months of rest, Gaoliu Xiuji's injury has mostly healed, and he gradually accepts the fact that he cannot stand up.
Under Chen Yongren's thoughtful care, Gaoliu Meizizi's mood improved greatly, gradually emerging from the shadow of Gaoliu Xiuji's injury.
While visiting, they also had to bring some fruit for Gaoliu Meizizi to eat.
But when Chen Yongren just arrived at the hospital, he learned that Gaoliu Xiuji had already been sent early to the operating room for suture removal observation, preparing for discharge.
Chen Yongren, meanwhile, continued to stay in the ward, accompanying Gaoliu Meizizi.
"Mrs. Meizizi, this is a hospital; if people see you being so greedy, it's not good." Chen Yongren said firmly.
"What's wrong with the hospital? Can't one eat fruit in a hospital?" Gaoliu Meizizi tidied her hair, hefting the large banana in her hand, her eyes shining.
Immediately, she couldn't wait and gulped down the banana before her in one bite.
She then savored it carefully.
Sweet and delicious, without the usual banana's odd flavor.
The bananas produced in China really taste good.
Thanks to the fruit farmers' cultivation, they grow very well.
You can't hold it with both hands, it's sweet but not cloying, and eating one leaves you feeling completely full.
"Chen Sang, where on earth did you buy this kind of delicious stuff? It's simply amazing." Takayanagi Mitsuko chewed the banana twice and swallowed it whole.
She then wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, unable to suppress a happy sigh.
"Japan doesn't have fruit this delicious."
Takayanagi Mitsuko, recalling how she had just wolfed it down without any decorum, blushed and said, "Chen Sang, sorry—I haven't eaten anything this delicious in ages."
"It's all right, madam; I'll bring you more next time." Chen Yongren smiled.
"No need for next time—I want this one now. Anyway, Hideyoshi is about to be discharged; we can't let it go to waste." Takayanagi Mitsuko picked up the banana again and ate it without worrying about appearances.
Since she liked it, Chen Yongren stopped stopping her and let Takayanagi Mitsuko continue.
At the same time, he didn't forget to film Takayanagi Mitsuko eating the banana.
"How annoying, Chen Sang." Takayanagi Mitsuko said, though her body obediently struck the pose.
"By the way, Chen Sang, Director Fujiwara secretly came to see Hideyoshi yesterday." The enthusiastic Takayanagi Mitsuko suddenly glanced at Chen Yongren.
"Oh?" Chen Yongren asked, "Did he come to the hospital?"
Upon reflection, I realized I hadn't seen Fujiwara Kinta in a few days.
That old devil lately I don't know what he's up to—whenever I go, he's busy and refuses to see anyone.
It's said he now lives inside the agency; even Fujiwara Rina and Fujiwara Yuko hardly see him.
"Director Fujiwara said Lord Tsuchihi is coming back soon, and mentioned something about a weasel—this time he's returning to Songhu, which could stir things up, so Hideyoshi definitely needs to be ready." Takayanagi Mitsuko said after a moment's thought.
"I also overheard them talking about this at the entrance; I don't know if this information is of any use to you."
"No matter whether it helps or not, thank you for your trouble, madam—you still haven't forgotten to help me at a time like this." Chen Yongren smiled.
"You're the one helping me." Takayanagi Mitsuko munched on the banana, mumbling.
"Director Takayanagi seems to be back, Mitsuko—watch out so the director doesn't see you and scold you." Chen Yongren said.
