The Spy

Chapter 385 Home Job
"Don't worry, I will work hard to make my business bigger and stronger."

Xu Xiaoer replied immediately, and Guijing was even more satisfied. Catching Xu Xiaoer was equivalent to having another way to make money, and it was a stable one.

There is no need to worry about investigation. He did not embezzle any money and did not take a single penny from the Special High Police.

Even the capital that Xu Xiaoer used to do business came from his own money. This kind of no-cost business made him very comfortable.

"Have you had any difficulties at work recently?"

Kamei took the initiative to ask, Xu Xiaoer is their money bag, and there must be no problems with him. Whether in life or work, Kamei will give him the greatest support.

"There's nothing wrong with me, it's just that my staff is progressing too slowly, and I feel like I've let you down."

Xu Xiaoer lowered his head again, and his words made Kamei laugh.

"It doesn't matter. Chinese agents are very cunning, and the Special High Police themselves haven't found any useful clues. It's good that you have this intention."

Look at how good Xu Xiaoer is at speaking. Let him raise his own difficulties, but he ends up admitting his mistakes.

No wonder he is so successful in business. How could he not do business well if he is so good at talking and smart?
"Thank you, Section Chief. Don't worry, I will work hard and will never let business interfere with my normal work."

"wrong."

Kamei's expression suddenly became serious, and he looked straight at Xu Xiaoer: "Your main job is business, do you understand?"

Business is the mainstream. As for investigating cases, the Special High Section and the Detective Brigade have so many professional agents that they don't need Xu Xiaoer, a repeater from the Military Control Commission.

He also didn't think about how Xu Xiaoer could help him with the case.

As long as he has made contributions, Xu Xiaoer just needs to make good money.

Kamei has been at the headquarters for many years and is very familiar with the people and situations there. Their chief section chief is powerful, but also greedy for money.

If he gave him more money, enough money, he could keep his position as the head of the Shanghai Special High Section even if he didn't make any achievements.

So Xu Xiaoer’s main job is business.

As for the Detective Brigade, it was just a position arranged to facilitate his work.

Including the captain of the detective brigade, Kamei has never been so concerned.

"I understand. Fortunately, you reminded me, otherwise I might have made a mistake."

Xu Xiaoer replied softly, and his words made Kamei laugh again. He stood up, walked to Xu Xiaoer, and patted him on the shoulder gently.

"Yes, you are excellent. Don't worry, if you do a good job, I will promote you and make you rich. I will definitely make your life better than other Chinese people."

This is a promise, but also an attempt to win over others.

If Xu Xiaoer really helps him make a lot of money, he will be generous with his reward.

Even if it's a donkey pulling a millstone, you have to feed it so that it can work well. Guijing understood that he had to appease Xu Xiaoer.

As for warnings and threats.

Now that Xu Xiaoer is doing so well, he simply doesn't have the opportunity, let alone do it.

"Thank you, Section Chief."

Xu Xiaoer thanked him again, finished his report and left the office. He felt better when he got outside.

He felt disgusted dealing with these Japanese and saying things against his will.

But this is his job, his real job.

So far, the Special High Section and the Detective Brigade do not have any useful clues, and there is no way to investigate the Shanghai district. How powerful are the district chief and the master? How can these little Japanese compare to them?
In this regard, Xu Xiaoer is proud of himself.

Bai Xu gradually adapted to life in the new school. It didn’t matter what major she studied. She just didn’t want to have any regrets. As long as she could graduate from university successfully, that would be enough.

Ever since he met Dai Congxue that day, Bai Xu kept an eye on her in school for a long time, but never saw her again.

She didn't know what Dai Congxue did the last time he came to school, but Dai Congxue had changed so much, he must have experienced something.

She was smart and didn't ask any questions.

Dai Congxue is a member of the Red Party. The head teacher said so last time. He wanted to frame her just because she had a good relationship with Dai Congxue.

Fortunately, there was Xu Xiaoer, who prevented the head teacher from succeeding.

But she also understood that Dai Congxue was in danger now. If the Japanese discovered her whereabouts, they would definitely look for him everywhere.

Bai Xu didn't know much about the Red Party, but she at least understood that the Red Party, like the Guo Party, was an anti-Japanese force.

For the people in the occupied areas, their greatest hope at the moment is to drive the Japanese out of China.

It would be best to eliminate all these invaders. They are so hateful that they cannot even be called human beings.

The ten-day leave that Dai Congxue requested passed quickly.

Secretary Yang sent people to investigate many places and finally confirmed that Dai Congxue was not exposed and Bai Xu helped her keep the secret.

This is a rare fact, but it at least proves that Bai Xu is kind-hearted and will not help the Japanese to do evil.

"team leader."

When Xu Xiaoer came back from the warehouse, his subordinates immediately came forward to greet him.

Xu Xiaoer was a righteous man and often prepared special meals for them. Whenever anyone had difficulties, Xu Xiaoer would help.

"Xiao Yuan, go to the French Concession and ask Kaiser Company when their shipment will arrive?"

Xu Xiaoer gave the order directly. He originally had the support of Kamei and Takeda, so Captain Cao Xiangwen could not order him to do anything.

Cao Xiangwen once tried to see if he could control Xu Xiaoer, but was warned by Takeda.

Afterwards, he completely gave up Xu Xiaoer's team and led the other two teams to look for Chinese agents and strive to make meritorious service.

"Yes, I'll go right away."

Xiao Yuan is in his twenties and is from the Central Bureau of Investigation. He surrendered to the Japanese after being captured and is now under the command of Xu Xiaoer.

All the team members think it is a blessing to be assigned to Xu Xiaoer's team. Look at their team and then look at the other two teams who work extremely hard and are constantly scolded?

Their team eats well and does not work hard.

The other two teams worked from dawn to dusk and were not only scolded, but some of them were even beaten.

The people from the Special High Police never asked them any questions, including when they went out, unlike other teams which had to report, and they could even use the vehicles at will.

They knew very well that these special treatments were all because of their captain.

Many people even said that Cao Xiangwen was a useless idiot and that the position of captain of the detective brigade would sooner or later fall on their captain.

"Xiao Fan, go to the International Settlement..."

"Small……"

Xu Xiaoer gave orders continuously, and all the tasks given to them were business matters. Kamei had hinted before that he was taking small steps and could expand the scale of his business. Since he had Kamei's support, he had no worries and would just build up the business first.

Even if the capital is not enough, you can go to Kamei to ask for it.

In the smuggling business, the most important thing is relationships. With Kamei's relationship, he was able to do business smoothly and no one investigated him at all.

After receiving the task, Xu Xiaoer stayed in the office to drink tea. He looked around and his eyebrows suddenly twitched.

The office is full of old desks and chairs. The chairs sometimes creak, and the desks also need to be propped up, otherwise they are unstable.

The office furniture needs to be replaced.

The Japanese will not be so kind as to help them replace them. To the Japanese, they are just cannon fodder and they will definitely be let go first when danger comes.

Xu Xiaoer had to pay out of his own pocket to change his office environment.

Xu Xiaoer was very smart. The dividends that Kamei gave him were very small, only 10%, but he was the one doing the business and he was also in charge of the accounts, so there was no problem in taking a little from it, and he could guarantee that Kamei would not notice anything unusual.

Even if we send professionals to check, they won’t be able to find the problem.

Xu Xiaoer was very careful, and all the things he found were recorded in the accounts. Even if they checked every account in detail, they could not find any abnormalities. Xu Xiaoer had his own methods, which made it impossible for people to find any problems with these accounts.

Kamei’s evaluation of him was indeed correct; Xu Xiaoer was a business genius.

"Xiao Hu, stay here and look after the house. I'm going to Boss Li's place. Call me if you have anything."

Xu Xiaoer stood up and said that there was no need to buy furniture by himself. His goods were in short supply and many people wanted them. They would make money if they got them.

Just a hint and these people would deliver what he needed straight to his door.

Xu Xiaoer now understands the tricks in this area very well.

"Okay, Captain, don't worry, I'll take care of the house."

Xiao Hu immediately shouted that they didn't need to go out to investigate the case because it was very hot outside and there was a fan bought by the captain in the office.

How comfortable is it to stay in the office with a fan?
I drink some tea, read the newspaper, and go to the cafeteria to eat lunch at noon. These days are much more leisurely than before.

Xu Xiaoer drove to Boss Li's place.

After a few hints, Boss Li understood what Xu Xiaoer wanted and replied with a smile, "Don't worry, the things will be delivered to you soon."

Xu Xiaoer is a powerful person with close ties to the Japanese. He is someone he cannot afford to offend.

Besides, this little furniture is nothing. As long as he can get those goods from Xu Xiaoer, he can easily earn back the money for the furniture.

They are not expensive furniture, just some ordinary tables and chairs for office use.

"Thank you, Boss Li. The goods you requested will arrive in two days. I will arrange for someone to deliver them to you then."

"Thank you, thank you Boss Xu."

Boss Li understood what Xu Xiaoer meant. He would pick up the furniture when it was delivered.

Xu Xiaoer didn't like people calling him captain when he was outside. That was a title given by the Japanese and he didn't like it.

When people outside call him, they all call him Boss Xu.

This name sounds more comfortable.

"Okay, I'm going back first."

After Xu Xiaoer left, he did not return to the Special High Section directly, but went to a theater to listen to a play.

After being released from the Beijing Special High Section, Xu Xiaoer developed a hobby of listening to operas.

He has a dead letter box over here at the theatre.

There is no need to release intelligence, but you must come here frequently, otherwise when the need arises, it will be too conspicuous to come here specially.

And he knew that the Japanese would definitely keep an eye on him the first few times, so he did nothing.

After doing this many times and over a long period of time, the Japanese will let down their guard.

These are some of the little tricks Zhao San taught him, and they are very practical.

After listening to the opera, Xu Xiaoer drove back and found that all the team members who had been sent out had returned and successfully completed the mission.

In the Shanghai district, Xu Qingyun was looking through intelligence.

The Japanese did attack Anqing, but the Anqing defenders did not engage in a head-on confrontation with the Japanese. They were indeed no match for the Japanese.

But many people cannot accept that an important city, the gateway to Wuhan, is being handed over to others for nothing.

There were many articles in the newspapers cursing the Anqing defenders.

The old man was also very angry and wanted to severely punish Commander Anqing.

Unfortunately, despite many people's persuasion, in the end it was still a lot of thunder but little rain.

The fall of Anqing had the greatest impact on Wuhan. The Japanese Navy cleared the biggest obstacle of the Yangtze River, and naval warships could pass through the Yangtze River at any time to support the army's operations against Wuhan.

Xu Qingyun did not make any comment on this.

As a person of low status, your words do not count, no matter how good the reasons of the defending generals are, such as preserving combat effectiveness and defending Wuhan together, etc.

But it is a fact that they gave up Anqing.

As for Wuhan, Xu Qingyun knew better than anyone that it could not be defended at all.

The fall of Wuhan has entered the countdown.

In Chongqing, Xu Zhanjie is at Xu’s home.

Accompanying him were the two old men of the Xu family. Xu Zhanjie was Xu Qingyun's master, and they had a very close relationship. Both families had the surname Xu, so they could be said to be a family.

"Director Xu, thank you very much for taking care of my child. Under your guidance, my child has not brought shame to our Xu family."

Xu Jiaming first said that he was Xu Qingyun’s father and the one who made the decision today.

"Brother Jiaming, there's no need for us to be so polite. Just call me Zhan Jie."

Xu Zhanjie laughed. Although Xu Qingyun was his disciple, he didn't have much dealings with the Xu family. This was his first visit.

Xu Qingyun is such an outstanding disciple, he likes him very much.

He came to Chongqing this time to inspect the layout of the new headquarters. Xu Qingyun only provided them with a place, and all the furniture, cleaning, etc. had to be done by the Military Control Commission themselves.

Even if it was Boss Dai, it was impossible for him to ask Xu Qingyun to do everything for them.

Xu Zhanjie was very satisfied with the place provided by Xu Qingyun.

The location is very good and the area is large enough for them to use.

This place is not given for free. The Military Control Commission has to pay for it, or in other words, the Kuomintang has to pay for it.

But Xu Qingyun only wanted half of the money.

Where did the remaining half go? Everyone knows it.

Xu Qingyun knows how to get things done, and many people, including Boss Dai, are very happy about it.

"Then I'm being too arrogant, brother Zhanjie."

Xu Jiaming was not polite either. Their relationship was different, and being too polite would not be good.

Heaven, Earth, Emperor, Parents and Teacher, their relationship with Xu Qingyun is the latter two, as for the first three, they are basically symbols.

What really matters is the end.

"Brother Jiaming, I will be in Chongqing for a while, and I may come to bother you again in the future."

Xu Zhanjie was equally forthright. His student was very outstanding. In addition to providing an office space for the Military Control Commission, he also provided accommodation for him, Boss Dai, Secretary Qi and others.

These are all free.

Nowadays, the price of houses in Chongqing changes every day and has risen to sky-high prices. The value of these properties alone is very high.

What Xu Qingyun gave them must be good, they would not live in a worse place.

"Brother Zhan Jie, I am happy when you say that. You must come often in the future."

Xu Jiazhi took the initiative to say that Xu Zhanjie was the director of the Intelligence Department of the Military Control Commission, a powerful figure, and had a close relationship with their Xu family. Xu Zhanjie was equivalent to one of their backers.

Nowadays, more and more big shots are coming from Chongqing, and the Xu family is actually safer.

The more people come, the less likely they are to touch the Xu family.

The Xu family is not the most powerful family in Chongqing, but it can be ranked among the top at this time. Even the four famous families of the Guo Party cannot do whatever they want to the Xu family in Chongqing.

Simply put, given the current situation of the Xu family, the old man would have to think carefully before making any moves on them, let alone others.
