1932: Playing with the Japanese Communist Party with a doll

Later, like other bosses, she learned to use the model of "basic salary + bonus + strict supervision", which slightly changed the status quo. However, the generous welfare benefits still made production costs extremely high, and it ended in failure.

This trip to Dalian to invest and open a store is her "last attempt" to use up her savings. If she fails this time, she will have to go home and raise her daughter.

However, the situation seems to be better than expected. Perhaps it is not a bad thing to stand on the stage?

Dong Zhujun thought of something, her eyes rolled slightly, and she suddenly regained her calm smile from the beginning, and even unconsciously took on a few softness in her tone:

"So, brother, what you mean is, can you help me solve these problems?"

"Of course I can. With me protecting you, I don't think many people in the Republic, let alone in the whole of China, would dare to provoke or embarrass you."

Fujiwara no Kanezane told a joke:

"If you're unhappy, go to Nanjing and shave Jiang Guangtou's head completely bald, then tell him I told you to do it. I guess he'll just have to swallow his anger."

It seems...I can't refute it...

"Well, Ms. Field and I have a good personal relationship. We also have mutual needs in our international relations. Cooperation is definitely greater than competition. You don't have to worry about government policy protection..."

As he spoke, Fujiwara Kanezane pointed to the port in the distance:

"As for the business environment, you've been in Dalian for a while now. You should have a pretty good understanding of the integrity of officials here and the labor protection measures, right?"

"Uh-huh.."

Dong Zhujun nodded subconsciously.

The reason why she had the courage to "abandon" the turbulent Shanghai and open a store in Dalian was largely because when she first came to investigate, she discovered the differences between this place and other places.

Putting everything else aside, she used to think that "labor protection," which she thought was something only a handful of "idiot bosses" like herself would proactively implement and which most bosses simply ignored, was actually a basic requirement here!

Have you ever seen an official forcing workers to sign legal labor contracts to protect their rights?

Have you ever seen a police officer helping workers to claim their wages and denouncing their illegal boss? Have you ever seen a safety officer meticulously checking factory safety measures? Even in her most naive years, she couldn't do this!

Although Dong Zhujun was still a little immature in business, she still had the basic vision.

From these small things, it can be seen that this "Five-Star Oriental Republic" is much more "advanced" than the Kuomintang government, cares more about the interests of the poor, and is more suitable for businessmen to do business.

Although they have many demands, the officials are generally honest and capable. They do not extort merchants, do not deliberately set up checkpoints, and have channels to resolve problems and handle them promptly.

For a businessman, this is paradise within paradise. "So, would you consider my proposal?"

Fujiwara Kanezane smiled and said:

"Madam, you don't want your company to go bankrupt due to debt defaults and your four daughters to live in poverty, do you?"

"There is nothing to consider, Your Highness."

Dong Zhujun didn't understand this cliché, but said without hesitation:

"You are so honest and the conditions are so good. I am not stupid. How can I not agree?"

"

after a while.

Dong Zhujun returned to "Jinjiang Cottage" and immediately hung an inconspicuous red scarf outside the "Red Gauze Curtain" room on the second floor of the restaurant.

Soon, a young man in his twenties quietly entered the Jinjiang Cottage from the back door and respectfully saluted Dong Zhujun:

"Mr. Dong, is there something special that you want me to come over for?" "The light..."

Song Zhiguang, a pseudonym, whose real name is Song Shilun, was a founding general of the Chinese People's Liberation Army in history. At the end of last year, he was brought from Jiangxi by someone in the name of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China. He is currently serving as one of the deputy commanders of the newly expanded armed police force.

what?

Who is the Commander-in-Chief?

Of course it’s our beautiful Miss Ma Shiling!

In short, Song Shilun's fame goes without saying. Why did he contact Dong Zhujun?

The reason was that after the White Terror in 1927, Song Shilun was arrested by the Kuomintang for openly opposing Chiang Kai-shek and spent a year in prison. After his release, he searched everywhere for the party organization but could not find one. His wanderings also made it difficult for him to make a living.

At this time, Dong Zhujun of Shanghai heard about this man's deeds and generously donated a large sum of money to him. She also took great risks and mobilized her own connections to help him find someone...

Many years later, Song Shilun became a founding general, and he still respected and cared for Dong Zhujun. Not to mention now, when he found out that she had come to "his territory" to open a restaurant, he immediately contacted her.

“It’s like this…”

Dong Zhujun informed Song Shilun of Fujiwara Kanezane's visit and the series of events that followed, and offered her own suggestions:

"...In this way, my hotel will surely attract more dignitaries and dignitaries. Then, your underground party can communicate, hold meetings, and connect here, and you will definitely be able to obtain more valuable intelligence;"

"Don't worry, don't worry about being exposed. After my first encounter with him, I can confirm that he's not a cruel person. Even if he's exposed, the worst that can happen to him is jail time!"

Song Shilun knew that since Dong Zhujun had already said so, regardless of whether it was true or not, he would not be able to persuade her. Moreover, this was indeed a good opportunity, and the Party organization had no reason to give it up. Therefore, he did not try to persuade her in this regard, but was concerned about another issue:

"Mr. Dong, if you do this, you might be seen as a thorn in the side or even a traitor by patriotic people who don't know the truth. Your safety..."

There is no doubt that in the eyes of some people, Dong Zhujun's behavior is equivalent to "pimping", or diverting precious national capital to the Japanese side. What else can she be but a traitor?

Just like today's assassination attempt, it was aimed at Mr. Lu Xun, whom the Party Central Committee had never criticized or abused. But next time, will it be Mr. Dong?

"It doesn't matter. I won't change my original intention just because someone misunderstands me. In his words, that... my heart and my actions are as clear as a mirror, and everything I do is just!"

(Grandma Dong’s original words: “I never change my original intention because of being misunderstood, I never doubt my beliefs because of being ignored, and I never slow down because of age.”)

"...Thank you, sir, for your contribution to the revolution."

"Well, not really. It's all for the sake of making China a better China..." Dong Zhujun skipped the topic, hesitated for a few seconds, and said:

"There are just two things I might need your help with." "Sir, please go ahead."

"First, please pass my handwritten letter to my husband, Xia Zhishi, and help me complete the divorce procedures. I'll be very busy for a long time and I'm afraid I won't have time to worry about such trivial matters;"

"Second, please help me take good care of my four daughters in Shanghai. It's okay for me personally, but they are still young, and I don't want them to have any accidents because of me."

"

The first request was easy to answer. Dong Zhujun and Xia Zhishi's marriage had already broken down, and many people knew that divorce was just a matter of time and procedure.

The second requirement...

"Mr. Dong, if that's the case, I suggest you move your daughters to the Northeast and enroll them in schools here, preferably in Shenyang. They'll probably be safer and receive a better education."

"Hmm? Why do you say that?"

"You might not know this, but the schools in Northeast China, especially in Shenyang, are absolutely the best in China in terms of facilities, teaching staff, educational philosophy, and security measures. If they were here, I could send someone nearby to protect them."

"I see... Let me think about it..."

the other side.

"Don't even think about getting rid of me!"

530 Xun Ge'er Pimp

"Don't even think about getting rid of me!"

"I'm telling you, I've been obsessed with you for a while now!"

"Fujiwara Kanezane! Don't think you can escape without anyone noticing! Don't even think about abandoning me!"

Don't get me wrong, this is not some infatuated woman fiercely pursuing the honorable Prince Kanezane, but rather a great writer expressing his frustration at the frequent "escapes" of a certain Prince Hachiman.

Your Highness runs fast.

"Xun brother, why are you talking like a gay..."

Fujiwara no Kanezane curled his lips and glanced secretly at the agent, who shook his head, meaning that his whereabouts would never be leaked.

In other words, is it Xun Ge'er's own "sixth sense"? What Zhou Xun in another world line?

"What cover..."

"Alright, alright. I'm going back to Shenyang soon anyway, so follow me if you want!"

"Go back to Shenyang? What are you going back there for?" "To choose a concubine!"

Fujiwara Kanezane rolled his eyes and said sarcastically:

"You have a happy family now, but I'm still young, alone, sleeping on my own, and I haven't even found a wife yet!"

"Humph! I don't think you can find someone to marry, you just don't want to get married and want to continue having fun."

Lu Xun's attention was indeed diverted. He snorted and looked at the agent again, revealing the expression of an elder worried about the marriage of a younger generation:

"So, do you have a candidate for your future new princess?" "Oh? What? You want to be my pimp?"

This is not surprising.

As the true ruler of the Northeast, Fujiwara no Kanezane's marriage naturally attracted the attention of countless people, and there were countless people who wanted to introduce him to a princess.

However, most of them are indirect. It is rare to see someone speak directly and without any scruples like Lu Xun.

"What do you mean by pimping?" "Okay, okay, how about being a matchmaker?" "Uh... matchmaker! Matchmaker!"

After spending so much time together, Lu Xun had become very accustomed to Fujiwara Kanezane's nonsense. He knew that he couldn't just follow his lead, or he would be led into a trap in no time. So he nodded and said:

"Yes, I do know a nice girl and I want to introduce her to you."

"Oh, then you can have her go to the Shenyang Imperial Palace to register! If she can't come, just send the registration materials over. We'll notify her if she passes the preliminary selection."

"You..."

Lu Xun had a look on his face that said, "This guy really doesn't want to get married."

"I just want you to get to know each other in advance. It's not like I'm picking cabbages at the market."

"Then why don't you ask her to come to Northeast China? How can I get to know her if she doesn't come?"

The Queen's Company was seriously short of staff, and Wanrong and Mintong were worried that they didn't have good subordinates to carry out their will, so they just sent people there.

The person Lu Xun introduced must have been an educated woman with a certain level of education and ability, right?

It's just right to trick him into doing hard labor.

"She's here, but I haven't told her about you yet..." "Then what the hell are you talking about?"

"It's just that it hasn't been said explicitly yet, but it was hinted at in the letter." "Oh? And what's her attitude then?"

"It seems that there is no objection..."

"Humph! You haven't shown me any loyalty! And you still want to enter my house..."

The two of them returned to Shenyang, arguing with each other all the way. Fujiwara no Kanezane didn't even go home, but was dragged by Lu Xun to the small courtyard where he lived, which seemed ordinary but was actually surrounded by many secret guards.

"...She and her father have already arrived in Shenyang and are staying with me. Better to be early than to miss the opportunity. Today is a perfect opportunity to introduce you two young people to each other."

"...OK!"

A strange and playful smile appeared on the corner of Fujiwara Kanezane's mouth:

"Since you introduced her, let me see what she looks like."

"Don't worry, it's just like what you said... well, no matter the looks or the personality, I guarantee you'll be reliable!"

As the two men walked in, Lu Xun shouted, "Brother Youyu! Brother Youyu! You..."

The rest of the words were stuck in his throat because an old lady with bound feet in her seventies or eighties was standing at the door with her hands on her hips, glaring at Lu Xun.

Xun Ge'er, who always faced the criticism with a cold brow, suddenly turned into a five or six-year-old child. He mumbled and said bitterly after a while:

"Mother, why are you here?"

The old lady's name is Lu Rui, she is 77 years old this year, she is the biological mother of Zhou Shuren and his three brothers. After her husband Zhou Boyi passed away, she took on the responsibility of raising three sons alone.

In that era, it took tremendous effort to support a family, raise three sons and educate them all into talents. One can imagine what kind of character such a woman had.

The old lady knocked the ground vigorously with her cane and said angrily in her somewhat distorted Shaoxing dialect:

"Why can't I come?"

"You are so old and still running around..."

"What's there to be afraid of? If I hadn't come here, I wouldn't have known you were a traitor!" "Mother, I'm not a traitor."

"What is not a traitor? I know everything!"

The old lady raised her cane and pointed it at Lu Xun, looking as if she was about to hit him:

"If you hadn't asked Ma Youyu to help you, how long would you have kept this a secret from me?!"

"

Lu Xun looked at a middle-aged man behind his mother, who bowed and said, "The old lady insisted on coming to Shenyang. I couldn't stop her, and she wouldn't let me tell you." Ma Yuzhao, whose courtesy name was Youyu, graduated from Tokyo Imperial University. He is currently the director of the Chinese Department of Peking University, a good friend of Lu Xun, and the initiator of the first officially promulgated legal Chinese character phonetic notation in Chinese history. Lu Xun also wrote a letter inviting him to take up a post in Northeast China.
