Chapter 54 It really was him
Back in his office, Su Yuncheng gently tapped the table.
What did the Special Higher Police send six people to do a year ago? If Xiao Wei was infiltrating the French Concession, where are the other five?
Japan is their greatest enemy in the future, and these people will be their enemies no matter where they are.
Find an opportunity to find out where they are all and secretly eliminate them.
Creating an accident won't work. One accident is fine, but if six people have accidents at the same time, even a fool would know there's something wrong.
Grandpa once said that killing someone was the most foolish thing he could do.
Using someone else to do the dirty work is a good idea. Aren't Shen Mozhou and his group from the Special Service Department? They would be interested in these lurking Japanese spies.
In the evening, Shen Mozhou and Chen Yansheng stood respectfully.
The Chief then sat in the armchair that Shen Mozhou had previously sat in. Shen Mozhou had not expected the Chief to suddenly come to Shanghai.
Could it be that Director came to Shanghai to have Su Yuncheng tell his fortune?
If that's the case, it would be utterly ridiculous.
"Chief, we've been observing Su Yuncheng for some time now. Apart from not knowing about the situation in Japan, he's been performing well in all other aspects..."
Shen Mozhou reported softly. Judging from the Chief's expression, Shen Mozhou understood that the Chief had indeed come for Su Yuncheng.
The comrade didn't ask a single question about the warships.
"I'll arrange to meet him tomorrow."
After Shen Mozhou finished his report, the section chief gave the order. Shen Mozhou was slightly taken aback, then quickly bowed his head and said, "Yes, section chief."
The next morning, Su Yuncheng arrived at the newspaper office; all 11,000 copies of the newspaper had been sold out that day.
With sales consistently exceeding 10,000 units for ten consecutive days, Su Yuncheng fulfilled his previous promise and gave everyone a 20% raise.
Their newspaper sales have now stabilized at 11,000 copies, and Su Yuncheng has instructed the printing plant to print an additional 500 copies every day.
If they can maintain this sales volume for a month, then even their peers in the Shanghai newspaper industry will acknowledge that they are a medium-sized newspaper.
For the newspaper, taking this step is indeed crucial.
Su Yuncheng also completed the six-month task assigned to him by Muto Tomohiro ahead of schedule.
"Yuncheng, the newspaper should work hard to increase sales to 20,000 copies."
At the train station, Muto Tomohiro said to Su Yuncheng, who had come to see him off, that the newspaper sales had reached the target ahead of schedule, which had increased Muto Tomohiro's ambition.
"Senior, to increase sales, we need to expand our workforce and acquire more equipment."
Su Yuncheng smiled. It would be foolish not to seize such a good opportunity.
"Sure, just do whatever you need. Money is no object."
Muto Tomoo immediately agreed, explaining that the newspaper didn't actually spend much money and could generate profits on its own.
Moreover, the higher the newspaper's sales, the greater the future profits.
"Thank you, senior brother."
With Muto Tomoo's consent, the newspaper could then expand as a matter of course.
"Senior brother, have a safe journey."
Su Yuncheng saw Mutō Tomohiro and his group off to the train. Mutō Tomohiro waved his hand, saying that things were going smoothly in Shanghai and he hoped things would go equally well in Nanjing so that he could return to China soon.
He didn't want to continue being someone else's subordinate; this time, he was determined to secure a consul position for himself.
"Teacher, Su Yuncheng is back."
Outside the newspaper office, Shen Mozhou and Chen Yansheng had arrived early and had been waiting for two hours. Su Yuncheng had just returned from seeing off Mutō Tomohō.
"Call him and ask him out."
Shen Mozhou nodded. The tasks assigned by the Chief were always the most important. The Chief wanted to see Su Yuncheng today, and he had already arranged the location, which was the teahouse he had visited before.
The environment there is quite nice, and it's close to the newspaper office, making it the perfect place to meet.
"Yes."
Chen Yansheng left, found a private public phone booth, and dialed the newspaper's number.
Shanghai has many coin-operated phone booths like this, but making a call is not cheap, and installing a phone is even more expensive, so telephones are destined to have little to do with ordinary people.
Su Yuncheng had already parked the car downstairs at the newspaper office. Although it wasn't a new car, it was still a sedan.
The people at the newspaper were very happy when they learned that the car belonged to them.
Although no one can drive, at least the newspaper now has a car, so they will all have the opportunity to drive in the future.
This is a car, you know. Many people have never even ridden in one, let alone driven one.
The happiest person was Huang Chuanming. Su Yuncheng had told him that he would teach him to drive and repair cars in the future to enhance his abilities.
【Ring ring ring】
The phone on the table suddenly rang. Before Su Yuncheng had even finished reading the first newspaper, he grabbed the receiver.
"Hello, I am Su Yuncheng."
"Hello, Editor-in-Chief Su. Our boss would like to invite you out for a chat. Would that be convenient for you?"
Chen Yansheng's voice came through, and Su Yuncheng's eyebrows twitched. The Special Service Department had come again?
They've been contacting me quite frequently lately, but thankfully they know to avoid suspicion and haven't come to my door directly.
"When?"
After thinking for a moment, Su Yuncheng did not refuse, but he wanted to make it clear to them this time that they should not come looking for him for no reason in the future.
It's troublesome for them, and it's troublesome for themselves.
"Noon, Wai Yuk Tea House."
After Chen Yansheng finished speaking, he hung up the phone. Su Yuncheng glanced at the receiver and gently shook his head.
What do these people want to do if they meet near them?
Su Yuncheng didn't think much of it; he would find out what they were planning by noon.
It was soon noon, and since the place was very close, Su Yuncheng didn't drive.
Walking all the way, Su Yuncheng soon arrived at the teahouse.
Shen Mozhou had booked the entire second floor, and now only their people were up there. The section chief was sitting in the room with the best view.
"Editor-in-Chief Su, welcome."
Chen Yansheng picked up Su Yuncheng and led him upstairs. Su Yuncheng immediately sensed that many people in the rooms on the second floor were watching them.
Some people were even peeking through the crack in the door.
Su Yuncheng couldn't hide anything from those who were paying attention to him, but most of these people were just curious and had no malicious intent.
It's good that he meant no harm; otherwise, he would probably have to find a way to leave immediately.
However, there were people like this in every room. They had booked the entire second floor. Could it be that Shen Mozhou wanted to see him? Who was it that made such a big fuss?
Thinking back to when Shen Mozhou invited him to Nanjing, Su Yuncheng secretly shook his head. Could it be that the future powerful boss has arrived?
"Editor-in-Chief Su, please."
Chen Yansheng led Su Yuncheng to the door of the private room, knocked gently, and bowed slightly when the door opened.
Shen Mozhou opened the door, and there were three other people inside. One person was sitting, and two others were standing behind the sitting person.
Su Yuncheng narrowed his eyes upon seeing the seated man.
It really was him.
Su Yuncheng had seen the entire book introducing him in his dream. The book had his photo, but it didn't look particularly like him. He looked younger now than in the photo.
However, it is easy to tell that the person in the photo and the person in front of you are the same person.
