Chapter 20 Wealth
The next day, Lu Chengzhou received a call from Hiroshi Kawasaki, asking him to go to the Yoshino Hotel on Suma Street in the evening.
Lu Chengzhou was very surprised, he only established his classmates yesterday, and asked him to meet again today, is he too eager?
Thinking of Kawasaki Hiroshi's identity, Lu Chengzhou did not refuse.
When Lu Chengzhou was thoughtful, he didn't see anyone else.
Lu Chengzhou was surprised, shouldn't it be a class reunion tonight?
"Lu Jun, I want to ask you to be the executive director of the alumni association, I wonder if you are willing to give in?" Kawasaki Hiroshi looked around and immediately threw out the topic.
"Am I up to it?" Lu Chengzhou said "flattered".
"When you were in school, you got good grades and you were a role model for others to follow. After graduation, he was promoted the fastest, and the kidnapping case solved this time is a very typical case. Kawasaki said with a smile.
"Thank you for the teacher's encouragement and affirmation, then I'll give it a try. Big things still depend on the teacher, and I only do specific work. If there is something that you don't do well, ask the teacher to criticize and correct it in time. After Lu Chengzhou pondered for a long time, he said solemnly.
"Actually, there's nothing to do in the class reunion, you can definitely do it." Hiroshi Kawasaki was satisfied with Lu Chengzhou's attitude.
Lu Chengzhou was about to speak when a Japanese man in a kimono walked in.
Hiroshi Kawasaki immediately introduced Lu Chengzhou: "This is Mr. Nozaki, the owner of this restaurant, and a good friend of mine. ”
Like ordinary Japanese people, Nozaki is not tall, dark-skinned, and looks strong.
"Mr. Lu, please take care of me when we meet for the first time." Nozaki bowed to Lu Chengzhou and said humbly.
"I'll often meet here in the future, and if I'm not there, you can go directly to Nozaki." Hiroshi Kawasaki said as he introduced it on the side.
"Mr. Nozaki is polite, I will ask you to take care of me in the future." Lu Chengzhou stood up, bowed to Nozaki, and said politely.
Lu Chengzhou and Nozaki's gaze collided in the air, and Lu Chengzhou immediately retracted his gaze.
He was secretly surprised in his heart, Nozaki was like a beast, his eyes were full of aggression and wildness.
"As long as everyone appreciates their faces, all the expenses of your classmates here will be discounted by 5% in the future." Nozaki said immediately.
"50% off? So you're not going to lose money? Lu Chengzhou said embarrassedly.
"It's my honor to have you here. Kawasaki-kun is my good friend again, and that's how it should be. Nozaki said enthusiastically.
"Thank you, Mr. Nozaki." Lu Chengzhou said politely.
After Nozaki left, Lu Chengzhou took a deep look at his back, and he felt that Nozaki was not like a restaurant owner.
Nozaki's eyes tried to show modesty, but Lu Chengzhou saw a hint of cunning in the depths of his eyes, like an old fox seeing its prey.
"Lu Chengzhoujun, yesterday you said that you want to start a family, do you have any specific ideas?" Hiroshi Kawasaki asked.
"Work hard and try to save more money to marry a daughter-in-law." Lu Chengzhou hurriedly said.
He didn't know what Kawasaki Hiroshi meant, so he didn't dare to speak casually.
"I heard that the inspector of the British Concession can get married at any time, and the inspector and deputy inspector are allowed to marry at most, and the patrol police can't marry more than three percent?" Hiroko Kawasaki asked.
"This is for India, in fact, if China catches, there are even fewer people who can approve marriage." Lu Chengzhou said with a sigh.
"It doesn't matter, you just graduated, and when you have some savings in your hand, you should be able to be promoted to inspector after solving a few more cases, and you will not be restricted from getting married at that time." Hiroshi Kawasaki said comfortingly.
"With this salary now, if you want to save money to marry a daughter-in-law, I'm afraid it's more difficult." Lu Chengzhou sighed and said.
"Have you ever thought about getting an extra salary?" Hiroshi Kawasaki said suddenly.
"How do you get it?" Lu Chengzhou's heart moved, and he asked quietly.
Kawasaki Hiroshi asked himself to come to the party today, most likely, just to introduce himself to a "financial road".
"Of course, you played to your strengths, you were the inspector before, and now you are the deputy inspector......" Kawasaki said meaningfully.
"I can't do anything about knowing the law and breaking the law, isn't this what the teacher has been teaching." Lu Chengzhou said lightly.
"How could a teacher let you do something illegal? For example, if a reporter is interested in the British Concession case and other things, and is willing to pay for these news leads, is it a crime? Kawasaki asked.
"Strictly speaking, it's also a violation." Lu Chengzhou said slowly.
"As long as you don't say it, it's not a violation." Hiroshi Kawasaki said with a smile.
"The teacher should know that our uniformed patrols have very few chances of encountering major cases, and I think that journalist friend may be disappointed." Lu Chengzhou said.
"Journalists, I'm curious about everything. If you're worried about money, I think he'll be willing to pay monthly, have good leads, and pay separately. With this extra income, it will be easy for you to want to marry a daughter-in-law. Kawasaki Hiroshi hurriedly said.
"This ......," Lu Chengzhou said in a deep voice.
"Ninety percent of the things in the world can be solved by money, for example, today's party, if there is no money, it will be dispersed in the future." Hiroshi Kawasaki persuaded.
"And what about the rest of the Ichsei?" Lu Chengzhou asked.
"The remaining 10% will need more money to solve." Kawasaki Hiromasa said.
"The teacher has a point, but ......," Lu Chengzhou said hesitantly.
"But what?" Hiroshi Kawasaki asked.
"How much can you give me in a month?" Lu Chengzhou asked.
"Well, that's easy to say." Kawasaki Hiroshi breathed a sigh of relief, he thought that Lu Chengzhou would have to resign.
After Lu Chengzhou left, Kawasaki Hiroshi sat alone in the room, and after a while, the short and stout Nozaki walked in and bowed to Kawasaki Hiroshi, and he knelt opposite him.
"Kawasaki-kun, how's it going?" Nozaki and Kawasaki Hiroshi did not speak Japanese, but communicated in Chinese.
"Basically, there is no problem, for these Chinese, money can solve most of the problems." Kawasaki said proudly.
"Thank you so much Kawasaki-kun, and I thank you again on behalf of Nozaki Mansion." Nozaki hurriedly stood up, bowed to Kawasaki Hiroshi, and said gratefully.
Nozaki is certainly not a restaurant owner, but the person in charge of the Nozaki Mansion located on Suma Street.
Nozaki Mansion is a secret agency appointed by the Kwantung Army, and the person in charge, Nozaki, was a retired major of the Japanese Navy.
The main task of the Nozaki Mansion is to collect information on the British, French, and Italian concessions, including political, military, and economic developments.
"It's all in the service of the Empire, it's nothing." Hiroshi Kawasaki said disappreciatively.
"The alumni association you formed, all the funds, can be taken care of by the Nozaki Mansion." Nozaki said sincerely.
"No, this cost is the responsibility of the garrison, you only need to be responsible for Lu Chengzhou's expenses. I negotiated with him that I would pay fifty dollars a month, and if I provided information, I would pay an additional bonus. Hiroshi Kawasaki said.
"Thank you so much, can this Lu Chengzhou be used by me?" Nozaki asked.
"Isn't he going to use it for you now? These Chinese, with very light bones, only have money in their eyes. When Kawasaki Hiroshi talked about Lu Chengzhou again, his eyes were full of contempt.
As an excellent subject of the Great Japanese Empire, he felt that the Chinese were an inferior nation, and if it were not for the benefit of the empire, he would not have run to China and put down his body to associate with these Chinese.
"This person is not an ordinary person, and if he can remain loyal to the Great Japanese Empire, it will be of great benefit to us in gathering intelligence." Nozaki said.
"Always be vigilant enough against the Chinese and never trust them completely." Hiroshi Kawasaki admonished.
