Chapter 204

Yuan Dadi stepped forward immediately, extended his hand to Chen Yongren, and smiled, saying, "Chen Yongren, hello. I am Yuan Xueguang."

That's quite interesting.

A German girl wants to learn Chinese, and now there's someone who wants me to teach German?

"Chen Sang, any difficulties?" Seeing Chen Yongren unresponsive, Iwai Eiji asked.

"None." Chen Yongren likewise shook hands and replied, "Of course no problem, as long as Mr. Yuan is willing, you can come to me anytime to study."

Hearing that, Yuan Dadi smiled and said, "With Brother Chen's words like that, I won't stand on ceremony from now on!"

"From now on, I'll trouble you, Mr. Chen, to teach me German."

No need to be so polite.

I was already thinking of how to sneak into Iwai Manor, and you all came to my door—why would I refuse?

Seeing Chen Yongren so agreeable, Iwai Eiji also spoke without reservation: "Chen Sang, rest assured, I'll compensate you for taking up your personal time."

After pondering for a moment, Yanji Yinger said: 'How about 10 yen per hour?'

Knowledge is power.

One hour can earn the monthly allowance of a Riben superior soldier.

Chen Yongren nodded.

'All right, Xueguang brother, remember to give me an invoice.' Yanji Yinger gave Yuan Dayi a look.

Yuan Dayi immediately understood, nodded and said: 'I'll take care of this.'

Damn it.

It seems not only Tengyuan Jintai and his group, but the old devil Yanji is also trying to make money.

How should I put it?

The situation is looking great!

The three of them were talking.

Tufuyuan Er, Tengyuan Jintai, and Gaoliu Xiuji walked in, their faces glowing red.

Especially Tengyuan Jintai.

Because he had found Chen Yongren yesterday to translate, Tufuyuan Er praised him profusely.

At the same time, he also ate a lot of biscuits, filling his stomach.

'Chen Sang!' Tengyuan Jintai was very happy, waved his hand, and quickly walked to Chen Yongren's side.

'General, your excellency, Director Fujiwara, Director Gaoliu.' Chen Yongren said.

'Chen Sang, how was your outing with Miss Daian yesterday?' Tufuyuan Er asked proactively.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Dayi couldn't help but look at Chen Yongren.

'Accompanying the German consultant's daughter out for fun?'

'What's going on? The more I listen, the more confused I get.'

'I'm finding it harder and harder to understand this guy.'

Chen Yongren also didn't hide anything, briefly explaining what happened yesterday.

Tufuyuan Er's face was full of praise: 'Chen Sang, well done.'

'Chen Sang, you did a great job; I knew assigning you to look after his daughter was right.' Tengyuan Jintai said: 'To win someone over, you often start by targeting those close to them.'

'This way, he will owe us a favor, and in the upcoming negotiations we can gain some advantage!'

'Excellency Fujiwara, you have great insight!' Gaoliu Xiuji echoed.

Just then, Consultant Jilinsi also walked over to them.

'Mr. Chen, we meet again.' Jilinsi laughed heartily: 'It seems today I don't have to worry about not understanding what they're saying.'

'Please give them my regards.'

Chen Yongren nodded and translated for Tengyuan Jintai, Tufuyuan Er, and the others.

They exchanged simple greetings and then entered the conference room again.

Yuan Dayi didn't know German, so naturally he wasn't qualified to enter; he was temporarily arranged to wait outside.

'Mr. Chen, my daughter came back yesterday, and when we talked at night, everything she said was about you.' Jilinsi said.

'My daughter has grown up after all.'

'I never expected that among all the talented youths domestically, none caught her eye, yet she took a liking to a Chinese person.'

'However, Mr. Chen is indeed very likable.'

'But since it concerns my daughter's lifelong happiness, I cannot afford to be careless.'

Is this German guy trying to make me his son-in-law?

Chen Yongren timely put on a fearful expression.

'Don't worry, Daian hasn't spoken ill of you; on the contrary, she said you saved her in a crisis. I only have this one daughter—if she were hurt, I would be heartbroken.' Jilinsi comforted.

'Since I accompanied Miss Daian on an outing, I naturally must ensure her safety.' Chen Yongren said politely.

'Chen Sang, what are you talking about?' Tengyuan Jintai, while speaking gibberish with Jilinsi, asked doubtfully.

'I saved her daughter yesterday, and he is expressing his thanks to me.' Chen Yongren bluffed.

Tengyuan Jintai muttered: 'If that's the case, he should make concessions to us at the negotiation table.'

They quickly walked into the conference room.

Both sides launched a heated discussion over the cooperation terms, nobody wanting to be the loser, each trying to gain more advantage.

Chen Yongren also acted as interpreter in the middle, translating their needs to the other side.

The two sides would at times frown tightly, at times burst into hearty laughter.

They all had a foe they feared most.

Boss Lin.

The focus this time naturally revolves around them.

After several hours of heated discussion, the German and Japanese sides finally reached an agreement.

When one treaty state goes to war with Boss Lin, the other must provide as much assistance as possible; the same applies if they have a dispute with Boss Lin or are threatened by him.

When one treaty party goes to war with Boss Lin, the other immediately declares war on him; if they have a dispute with Boss Lin or are threatened by him, they must provide each other with as much assistance as possible.

Furthermore, when one treaty state is at war or has a dispute with a third country other than Boss Lin, or is threatened by it, the other party should maintain a friendly attitude.

Regarding Italy, a cooperation agreement is proposed, stipulating that when one party to the agreement fights a third country other than Germany, the other party should maintain friendly neutrality.

And we must do our utmost to prevent other great powers from joining the war.

In short, the draft simply aims to use Italy to restrain Britain and France.

The Germans' intentions will become clearer, aiming to achieve hegemony in Europe.

Today's meeting ends here.

The three-country alliance is inevitable; Chen Yongren already transmitted the information yesterday in a very safe way; as for the National Government's countermeasures, that is not my concern.

Chen Yongren walked out of the consulate, and Dai An was waiting at the entrance.

Because he had already sensed through insight that Dai An was at the door, Chen Yongren also experienced little psychological fluctuation.

Today's Dai An is obviously carefully dressed; she is not wearing Western-style clothing, but instead a Chinese cheongsam.

Showing off her delicate curves, she looks quite distinctive.

The father and daughter met, whispering to each other.

Through the wind‑ear technique, Chen Yongren also heard what they were discussing—nothing more than some young ladies' feelings.

"Mr. Chen, Dai An is entrusted to you today; she likes Chinese a lot, you must teach her more." Jilinsi said.

"All right, Mr. Jilinsi." Chen Yongren gave a perfunctory reply.

Several second‑lieutenant Tsuchiya‑origin Japanese also showed ambiguous glances, encouraging with their eyes.

Yuan Dayi originally wanted to step forward at the opportunity, but seeing Dai An, he knew it was not appropriate for him to appear now, and quietly slipped away.

"Do you like it?" Dai An asked, blushing.

"The clothing is indeed not bad." Chen Yongren deliberately said.

"Mr. Chen, you…" Dai An became unhappy.

Just as he was about to speak, he heard a soft, sticky Chinese.

"Chen Sang, is she your friend?"
