Chapter 40 Tanggu Agreement
Within a few minutes, the library arrived, and the curator, Hong Renyuan, saw Geng Chaozhong and Zhao Ersheng walking in talking and laughing, and his face suddenly sank.
Geng Chaozhong quickly restrained his smile, walked quickly to Director Hong, and explained: "Curator, Mr. Deng asked me to stay and listen to the class, and I couldn't refuse, so I ......."
"That's it," as soon as he heard that Mr. Deng was staying, Hong Renyuan's face was also relaxed, and he said gently:
"Xiao Zhou, near the end of the term, there are a lot of people who come to the library for self-study, it's best for you to go out at will during this time, after this time, the library will be much more leisurely, and it's not too late for you to do your own thing."
"Mr. Hong, I see." Geng Chaozhong arched his hand and was about to leave.
"Wait," Hong Renyuan stopped Geng Chaozhong, looked at him a few times and asked, "Do you know that little girl from Zhao Ersheng?" β
"I just met in class." Geng Chaozhong hurriedly replied.
"Well," Hong Renyuan nodded slowly, "Her father, do you know who it is?" β
"Who is it?"
Director Hong seemed to mean something, and Geng Chaozhong suddenly became a little curious.
"Zhao Kezhen, director of the Beiping Education Office." After Hong Renyuan finished speaking, he stared at Geng Chaozhong's eyes.
"Oh, it turned out to be after the eunuch gate." Geng Chaozhong's face changed.
From this point of view, this Yanda is still under the rule of Zhao Ersheng's father.
He had long seen that Zhao Ersheng's family background was extraordinary, and now he heard Hong Renyuan say that this Zhao Ersheng was actually the daughter of the director of the Beiping Education Office, no wonder Zhao Ersheng and the principal Situ Leiden were very familiar, and called him Uncle Situ.
"That's right," Director Hong nodded slightly, "Zhao Kezhen first served in the Beiyang government, with deep qualifications, many relatives and friends, he has no children under his knees, and he gave birth to such a daughter in his forties. β
"No, no, I just ran into each other when I went back to the museum, and I chatted a few words along the way, just nodding my head to each other." Geng Chaozhong waved his hand again and again, looking terrified.
"Well, I don't mean anything else, just a casual reminder." Seeing that Geng Chaozhong was scared, Director Hong couldn't help but smile slightly.
Geng Chaozhong understood what he meant, this was for fear that he would not know the situation and cause some unnecessary trouble, Director Hong was not bad.
"Well, I know, thank you Director Hong for mentioning it." Geng Chaozhong nodded vigorously,
"It's good that you know," Director Hong nodded and motioned, "Go and do something!" β
Geng Chaozhong agreed, turned his head to look at Zhao Ersheng, and found that the little girl was looking at him with curious eyes, Geng Chaozhong quickly turned his head and ran to the fourth floor.
.........
It's a week in the blink of an eye.
Although the affairs of the library are complicated, they are not too difficult, even if they encounter some foreign books, with Geng Chaozhong's skills, they can basically handle them easily, which makes the director Hong Renyuan overjoyed.
The reason why the associate director of this library has been vacant is because it is too difficult to find an associate who is proficient in foreign languages, because many of the books in the library of Yan University are donated by Harvard University and all walks of life in the United States, and many of them are in foreign languages.
However, in this way, Geng Chaozhong was miserable, jumping up and down all day long, complaining again and again, and sometimes even working until more than nine o'clock in the evening to sort out the books, so that there was no time to take time to deal with the cultural relics.
During this period, Zhao Ersheng often came over, but after Geng Chaozhong knew his identity, he naturally did not provoke, and often laughed it off.
At noon that day, Geng Chaozhong had just finished sorting out the books when he heard a commotion outside, and then a few students walked inβat this time, the final exam had just ended, and some students should have come to return the borrowed books.
Sure enough, as soon as several students came in, they put the books in front of Geng Chaozhong, and the first person was Zhong Yue, a junior in the Department of Political Science, who often came to consult his papers when he was about to graduate, and he knew Geng Chaozhong.
"Assistant Manager Zhou, this is the book I borrowed, you can check it." Zhong Yue handed over the two books.
"Well," Geng Chaozhong took the book, glanced at Zhong Yue, saw that his face was flushed, and he looked angry, and couldn't help asking, "What's the matter, classmate Zhong, who provoked you?" β
"Japanese!" Zhong Yue put down the book heavily and snorted.
"Japanese?" Geng Chaozhong was also taken aback, "I said Xiao Zhong, now that several divisions of the Japanese army are outside the city, you can be careful, don't cause big trouble, the school can't protect you." β
"You don't even read the newspapers?" Zhong Yue looked at Geng Chaozhong with a surprised gaze.
"What's wrong?" Geng Chaozhong was a little confused.
I've been busy these days, so how can I have time to read the newspaper.
"The Tanggu Agreement was signed! You didn't see the newspaper that was just released this morning? You really don't listen to what is going on outside the window, and only read the books of the sages! Zhong Yue was speechless.
"Oh, I almost forgot! Isn't it a secret agreement, though? This is announced? Geng Chaozhong was startled and touched his head.
"What a secret agreement, the Nineteenth Route Army has already poked out the news, and it is written in black and white in the newspaper!" Zhong Yue said speechlessly.
Geng Chaozhong sighed and picked up a stack of newspapers piled up next to him.
The library also includes current issues of newspapers published all over the country, but Geng Chaozhong waited until noon to get all the newspapers before he began to sort them out, and it was not yet time, so he let the little guy who delivered the newspaper put it on the table and left it alone.
The newspaper clearly wrote: The Tanggu Agreement was signed, and the sovereignty of North China was lost!
Geng Chaozhong picked up the newspaper and began to read it, and Zhong Yue's voice came from the side: "Our army has retreated to the front line of Changping and Shunyi, and if we retreat another thirty miles, it will be the city of Beijing!" The Japanese are still garrisoning troops in Miyun, what is the difference between this and the occupation of Beiping? β
"yes, yes, what kind of system is this." Geng Chaozhong replied as he flipped through the newspaper.
"Hey Assistant Zhou, your attitude is not right, it's just a sentence of what kind of system is it?! We're going to march, we're going to demonstrate! β
"It's good, it's good, you guys go!" Geng Chaozhong stared at a line of words in the newspaper and said casually.
The line reads: The above-mentioned police agencies are not to use secret armed groups that stimulate the feelings of the Japanese army.
Geng Chaozhong understood that this secret armed group was referring to the Fuxing Society.
No wonder no one came over after the collapse of Beiping Station for more than a week, it turned out to be like this!
"You're not going? We made an appointment to go to the vicinity of Dongzhimen in Beiping this afternoon and to demonstrate near the Japanese Consulate in Peiping! The sound of Zhong Yue came from his ears again.
"As for me, I won't go, I still have important things to do." Geng Chaozhong waved his hand.
"Something important? What could be more important than defending against foreign humiliation?! Zhong Yue's eyes widened and he stared at Geng Chaozhong fiercely.
