You were allowed to marry into No. 76 family, and you were promoted to director?

Chapter 366 Offended
"I'm giving you three minutes to vacate the meeting room."

The receptionist looked at the Japanese idiot in front of her with a bitter expression:

"Sir, it's not that I don't want to reserve the meeting room for you, it's just that we can't afford to offend the people in the sixth-floor meeting room today."

A middle-aged man with a small mustache stared at the receptionist with a sinister gaze.
"So you dare to offend me!!"

Just as the receptionist was about to speak, Dao Ya stepped forward leisurely, her face full of curiosity, and said:
"【Japanese】Uncle Toyota?"

Upon hearing the familiar voice, the middle-aged man quickly turned around.

Upon seeing Dao Ya arrive, his contorted face instantly broke into a smile. After a split-second change of expression, the man greeted her with a hearty laugh:

"Xiaoya, you've arrived! I'm sorry, we're not ready yet!"

Daoya smiled and shook her head:

"It's alright, I can wait a while. But haven't Uncle Toyota and Uncle Taro arrived yet?"

That's right, the man who was arguing heatedly with the lobby receptionist just now was none other than Jiro Toyoda, the current Director of the Naval Affairs Bureau of the Ministry of the Navy.

With the financial support of Toa, both Toyoda Jiro and Iitaro have achieved their goals and been promoted.

Jiro Toyoda was promoted to the position of Director of the Naval Affairs Bureau of the Ministry of the Navy as he had hoped.

Iitaro was even more impressive, and was directly promoted to the position of Chief of the Operations Department of the Naval General Staff.

These two positions are of paramount importance in the Imperial Navy.

It's easy to imagine how much money Dao Ya spent to get them into power.

The world is full of goodwill, and the world is all good.

With these two in the Navy, Daoya quickly came into the view of other naval commanders.

Today's gathering was organized by Iitaro to introduce Toa to his other colleagues, so they would know that following Iitaro and Toyoda Jiro would inevitably lead to promotions and wealth.

As for Doya, this big spender, Iitaro and Toyoda Jiro naturally had to appease her.

At the same time, it also lets the people they've won over know that they have capital backing them.

However, at first, Iitaro did not set the location at the Cathay Hotel. Daoya said that she happened to have a business deal to discuss there.

Upon hearing this, Iitaro immediately made a decision. "It's just the Huamao Hotel, right? Perfect for business. Let's meet there and show our support for Daoya. Let those who do business with Daoya see that she has the support of the Navy."

Iitaro understood perfectly that interests are mutual.

Since Daoya has helped them so much, let alone a little convenience, even if Daoya asked to bring a group of people with special identities out of the sea from Shanghai, Iitaro and Toyota Jiro could do it.

Of course, this also makes it easier for them to control Daoya.

However, Toa has never given them such an opportunity, which is why Toyoda Jiro and Iitaro are so careful in maintaining their relationship with Toa.

"Xiaoya, don't worry, they'll be here soon, but before that..."

Jiro Toyoda glared at the receptionist with a sinister look.

Although Smith in the French Concession dared to refuse the demands of the Japanese army, he would never dare to bare his teeth at the navy.

Therefore, even in the French Concession, Jiro Toyoda did not restrain himself at all.

The receptionist was terrified when she saw that Jiro Toyoda had actually pulled out a gun.

"I'll say it again, vacate the meeting room for us immediately, otherwise, you don't need to do this at all."

The receptionist, trembling, hurriedly said:

"Madam, please calm down. I'll get our manager right away."

"Damn it! What the hell were you doing this morning? Go and call the manager over here right now!"

Daoya quickly stepped forward:
"Uncle Toyota, this is the French Concession, it's best not to use guns."

Toyoda Jiro snorted coldly:
"Xiaoya, don't worry. Those horse-riding bastards in the army don't dare to go head-to-head with the French Concession, but our navy isn't a bunch of cowards."

"Also, Xiaoya, let me tell you something else today: in Shanghai, you can walk around with your head held high. Anyone who dares to touch you is disrespecting my navy! So what if it's the French Concession? Xiaoya, you're here to discuss business today, so naturally you'll need the best conference room."

"Iitaro also instructed me that this business deal must be discussed in the conference room on the sixth floor. Our people will go with you to support you!"

Dao Ya's lips twitched slightly. Fortunately, she really did have an appointment to discuss business at the Hua Mao Hotel.

Last night, after deciding to come and find out about the situation from Smith this morning, Dao Ya arranged to meet someone at the Cathay Hotel to have a good excuse.

Interestingly, the person who initiated the deal was Dao Ya, and from her tentative inquiries, it seemed to be an antique transaction.

"Uncle Toyota, thank you so much! This deal is done, and we'll be preparing for our next shipment to go overseas."

Jiro Toyoda's eyes lit up. This was great! As long as they had goods to ship overseas, they could make a fortune.

They admired Daoya's generosity. That's right, in order to help Daoya escort the goods to their destination, Daoya not only paid a fee that was 30% higher than the market price, but also gave him and Iitaro an extra thank-you fee.

In this way, not only would the Navy make money, but he and Iitaro would also receive a substantial thank-you fee in addition to taking 20% ​​of the basic escort service fees.

It's no wonder they enjoy associating with Dao Ya; they practically worship her.

As their cooperation deepened, both Jiro Toyoda and Iitaro discovered that Toa's real strength lay not in her supply channels, but in her business acumen.

Without Dao Ya, even with those channels, the two of them were certain that they would never earn the same amount of money as they could by following Dao Ya.

Therefore, Iitaro and Toyoda Jiro were reluctant to let go of such talented individuals.

In many public occasions, Iitaro and Toyoda Jiro directly referred to Toa as their niece, which shows how much they wanted to be associated with her.

Even if others want to get to know Toa and establish a connection with her, they will inevitably have to go through Iitaro and Toyoda Jiro.

The people I introduced to Dao Ya today were mostly their subordinates, and some were their peers.

As for the higher-level ones, sorry, Jiro Toyoda and Iitaro still have their own agendas.

What if Daoya gets in touch with a higher-ranking naval officer and stops involving them?
Therefore, the two of them strictly controlled the degree to which they introduced the people to Daoya.

Soon, the manager was summoned to the scene.

Upon learning that Jiro Toyoda was a member of the Navy and a high-ranking officer, the manager of the Cathay Hotel nearly burst into tears.

They couldn't afford to mess with the people in the conference room on the sixth floor. Kagesa, Watanabe Kyoko, and Chen Yibo were one thing, but Smith was in there too!
If they offended the French Concession Governor because of the navy, the Cathay Hotel might not be able to stay in business.

If they didn't want to offend Smith, they would have to offend the Navy. They were well aware of the strength of the Japanese Navy, and if they offended it, their future would not be easy.

After all, the Japanese Navy was someone even Smith dared not offend.

The manager hurriedly informed Toyota Jiro of the situation in the sixth-floor conference room. At that moment, Iitaro arrived with a group of people. The manager stood weakly to the side, watching as Toyota Jiro ignored Iitaro as soon as he arrived, while the group that had come with him chatted and laughed around Toa.

The manager was relieved to see this.

But less than two minutes later, Iitaro looked at him with a gloomy expression. Not only Iitaro, but all the naval officers who came with him were staring at him with murderous eyes.

"Smith? Heh, I don't care who's in the sixth-floor conference room. I only have one request: clear the room immediately. We want the sixth-floor conference room! If you have any questions, have Smith come and talk to me."

"As for the others, if they're not satisfied, let them come find me directly!"

Watching the manager leave in a hurry, Dao Ya stepped forward and said:

"Uncle Iitaro, it doesn't actually have to be in the conference room on the sixth floor."

Iitaro waved his hand, looked around at everyone, and said:

"Xiaoya, you don't need to worry about this."

"We came here to discuss business, but we couldn't even get a room in meeting room number six on the sixth floor. People will think we're easy to bully!"

At this moment, Jiro Toyoda also said with a smile:

"Yes, Xiaoya, you don't need to worry about this. The conference room on the sixth floor is yours. Even if Smith comes, it won't make a difference!"

In the conference room on the sixth floor of the Cathay Hotel.

Chen Yibo, who had already begun signing the agreement, was all smiles.

With Song Shiyun's support, he will be able to quickly gain a foothold in Shanghai.

Chen Yibo's visit this time is not just to promote Wang Da, but also to prepare for his future rule in Shanghai.

Needless to say, with Kagesa's full support, he has nothing to worry about.

The most important thing now is to get the funds in place.

As the president of the Osaka Chamber of Commerce's Shanghai branch, Kyoko Watanabe naturally had to provide some funds.

This was a direct order from the cabinet; otherwise, given Watanabe Kyoko's status, she would never have attended such a meeting.

Kyoko Watanabe scoffed at Chen Yibo's feint.

Kyoko Watanabe had absolutely no liking for Chen Yibo, a coward who didn't even dare to show his true face in front of the public.

Furthermore, Kyoko Watanabe felt that Chen Yibo's actions were utterly foolish.

He cultivates someone who is almost identical to himself to stand in the spotlight, while he himself only stirs up trouble behind the scenes.

Kyoko Watanabe thought to herself, if one day Chen Yibo had an accident, wouldn't that mean the fake would become the real?

At that time, Chen Yibo's network of connections, family assets, wife and children all became that guy's.

Kyoko Watanabe wondered if Yoshihiro Chen had considered this possibility.

After calming himself down, Watanabe took the document, carefully examined it, and was about to sign it when a knock on the door suddenly sounded.

In the conference room, everyone frowned.

Song Siren's heart was pounding. He was afraid that his daughter would not be able to distinguish between the pros and cons and would kill Chen Yibo right there.

As a Kuomintang agent deeply embedded in Shanghai, Song Shiyun had a clear understanding of many things.

He knew his daughter's personality perfectly well.

When everyone's eyes were focused on the door, Song Shiyun finally breathed a sigh of relief, because the person who pushed the door open was not Song Yuanyuan, who was disguised as a waitress.

The manager stood awkwardly at the door, forcing a smile as he looked at everyone and said:

"Mr. Smith, gentlemen, someone has requested to use this conference room."

As a witness invited by Chen Yibo to witness the signing of the agreement, Smith felt embarrassed and ashamed that such a thing had happened on his own turf.

"What did you say? Didn't you tell them who's using this place?"

The manager looked tremblingly at everyone in the conference room:
“I told them, but they didn’t care. They even said if I was dissatisfied, I should go and talk to them directly.”

Smith narrowed his eyes slightly. In the French Concession, he would not allow such an arrogant person to exist.

At that moment, a spy walked past the manager and quickly approached Kyoko Watanabe, whispering a few words in her ear.

Kyoko Watanabe looked at Kagesa with a half-smile. Kagesa's face was gloomy. He didn't expect that as soon as he arrived in Shanghai, someone would give him a hard time.

Moreover, Kagesa has secretly arrived in Shanghai to catch everyone off guard and set up the Mei Agency before they can react.

Kagesa knew that Watanabe Kyoko wouldn't tell anyone about this, but now that someone had come to cause trouble, if people found out that he had come to Shanghai, people like Doiyuu, Uchiyama Yokono, and Aizawa Keiko probably wouldn't let him establish the authority of the Mei Agency so easily.

"Mr. Chen, I will give you an explanation for this matter. Please wait a moment, I'll go see who dares to cause trouble in the French Concession!"

No sooner had Smith finished speaking than a voice rang out from afar, growing louder as it approached:
"No need, we've come ourselves!"

Just seconds after hearing the sound, Iitaro and Toyoda Jiro appeared at the conference room door with a group of people.

Upon seeing not only Smith in the meeting room, but also several other people whom Iitaro had never expected, Iitaro's expression changed slightly.

Jiro Toyoda also frowned.

"Kagesa!"

"Mrs. Watanabe!"

Kyoko Watanabe stood up, nodded and smiled at Jiro Toyoda and Iitaro at the door, and also glanced with surprise at Toa standing next to Jiro Toyoda, and a well-dressed, slick-haired man next to Toa.

Kagesa's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot; now, even if he didn't want to hide it, he had no chance.

Kagesa was truly surprised that the Navy would actually appear here. At the same time, he cursed inwardly, "Damn it, Iitaro! Not only did he see me, but he also called out my name in public!"

Seeing that Watanabe had already stood up to greet Iitaro, Kagesa had no choice but to stand up as well, nodding to Iitaro with a gloomy expression.

Smith's expression turned extremely ugly when he saw that they were Japanese naval personnel.

He really couldn't afford to offend these people.

Otherwise, if the Japanese navy were to blockade the area, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Of course, what surprised Smith the most was Daoya. She was actually with the Japanese Navy, and it seemed that the Navy was treating Daoya very politely.

After all, besides Iitaro and Toyoda Jiro, Smith also recognized several other high-ranking Japanese naval officers.
