"It's okay, if Brother Oda Kiri has something, you can go out and get busy first, and I'll wait here myself." Geng Chaozhong hurriedly bowed.

"Then I'm sorry, I do have a little other thing on hand, please wait." Oda Kiritharo bowed to Geng Chaozhong and walked out of the house.

Geng Chaozhong didn't say much, picked up a copy of "Asahi Shimbun" on the side and looked at it.......

Meanwhile, in the next room, Kirijiro Oda was walking up to a gray-haired man, and at the same time respectfully said:

"Second Chief Suzuki, I've settled next door."

This person turned out to be Vice Minister Suzuki in the mouth of Oda Kiritharo, and obviously, he did not go to the Ministry of Education for a meeting.

Suzuki's second elder was more than fifty years old, although his hair was gray, but his back was straight, his lines were hard, and he looked like a person with extraordinary energy, and while listening to Suzuki's report, he put down the documents in his hand and said:

"Oda Kiri, what do you think of this new exchange scholar?"

"Report Suzuki-san, this person is very fluent in Japanese, with a distinct Hokkaido regional accent, obviously learning Japanese for a long time, and also, his speech and demeanor are also very comfortable, even with a little chic, it can be seen that he is also very confident in himself, in short, this is a relatively attractive man." Kirijiro Oda replied.

"More attractive?" A smile appeared on Suzuki's lips, "Oda Kiri-kun, you really look at people from a different angle, so, what do you mean, do we want to put him on the watch list?" ”

"This .......," Oda Kiri showed a hint of hesitation on his face.

"You know, the military department has given the Ministry of Education a quota, every school, must be designated among the visiting Chinese students and teachers, our quota is still three short, but in the second half of the year, there are only eight international students in our school at most, and it is really not an easy task to choose three out of the nine people who add this Zhou Xuanhe." Second Chief Suzuki spoke.

"I don't know what those soldiers with muscles in their heads think, we are just a normal school, even if the Chinese want to spy on intelligence, they should send people to the Imperial University of Technology, the Army Non-commissioned Officer School, the Rear Service Training Institute, why divide the suspects in our education school?" Could it be that there are still major secrets of the empire in our normal school? And those bureaucrats in the Ministry of Education, don't they have a little idea of their own, and let those arrogant guys ride on their heads and make a fortune?! Kirijiro Oda couldn't help but complain.

"Silence!"

As soon as Oda Kiritharo said this, Deputy Chief Suzuki immediately glared at him fiercely, he tapped the table with his fingers hard, and said in a low voice:

"Oda Kiri, it's okay if you talk to me about this kind of thing, but don't mention it to anyone! The rice balls of the Metropolitan Police Department are not as sweet as your mother's cooking! ”

"Hey!" Oda Kiritharo hurriedly bowed his head and admitted his mistake.

Although Deputy Minister Suzuki's words were harsh, Oda Kiri also knew that it was for his good, but the hand of the military department was really stretched too long, especially in the past few years, from the internal and foreign affairs of the empire, down to the clothing, food, housing and transportation of the common people, the military department had to intervene, and now it actually extended its hand to the education system, I don't know what to do!

"Oda Kiri, your political sense is too poor....... Suzuki sighed, "purging the interior and guarding against spies, this is an experience that only existed before the Russo-Japanese War, you are still young, you have not experienced this, I don't blame you, but you have to take care of your own mouth in the future, I don't want to use my old friends, just to rescue a mouthful assistant to the deputy chief from the Metropolitan Police Department." ”

"Oda Kiri knows, Mr. Suzuki, I'm really sorry!" Oda Kiri bowed his head in shame.

"Forget it," Vice Chief Suzuki waved his hand, "Let's go, come with me to meet this Mr. Zhou." ”

.........

In the next room, Geng Chaozhong was twisting his neck and moving his muscles and bones - to be honest, the movements and behaviors of the Japanese are relatively rigid and tight, imitating the Japanese for a long time, the muscles of the body are actually a little sore, and it is estimated that it will take a long time to get used to it.

was doing stretching exercises, the door was suddenly knocked, Geng Chaozhong hurriedly walked over, personally opened the door, but was greeted by an old man in his fifties, he saw Geng Chaozhong, the corner of his mouth rippled, and said with a smile:

"This is Mr. Zhou, I'm Kazuo Suzuki, the undersecretary of education at Tokyo Normal School, please advise!"

"Suzuki-san, nice to meet you!" Geng Chaozhong hurriedly bowed.

After some greetings, Suzuki led Oda Kiri behind him, came to the room and sat down, and briefly asked a few Geng Chaozhong about the situation and feelings of coming to Japan, Geng Chaozhong answered all the questions fluently, Suzuki bowed slightly, obviously very satisfied with Geng Chaozhong's quick thinking and words, took a sip of tea, Suzuki finally changed the topic, and asked:

"Mr. Zhou, how did you come up with the idea of visiting our Tokyo Normal School, you know, the vast majority of international students in your country like to study in Taoist engineering colleges, and there are very few who come to study education, even if they are interested in education, most of them will choose Europe and the United States instead of Japan, I am curious about your thoughts, please do not hesitate to teach."

"Vice Minister Suzuki," Geng Chaozhong couldn't help but smile a little at the corner of his mouth when he heard this, "I can't hide it, I have traveled to Europe before, and I deeply feel that my East Asian race is very different from the European race, and my physical maturity and mental development are also different. That's why I decided to come to your school to visit and study, and I asked Mr. Suzuki for more advice. ”

"I see," Suzuki nodded slightly, "What Mr. Zhou said is very true, I heard that Mr. Zhou used to teach at a girls' school in Nanjing?" ”

"Yes, I teach the general history of the West, and I am really ashamed to have shallow knowledge." Geng Chaozhong said humbly.

"No, no, no, I heard that Mr. Zhou is knowledgeable, has unprecedented insights, and has also gone to Shanghai for exchanges, not to mention," Suzuki paused slightly, "Mr. Zhou's Japanese is so fluent, this is really commendable, if Mr. Zhou has no opinion, I can arrange a few classes for Mr. Zhou, please Zhou Jun do not hesitate to advise, how about it?" If you find it inconvenient to use Japanese, you can use English, what does Mr. Zhou think? ”

"This ......"

Geng Chaozhong was stunned, the first time they met, this Deputy Minister Suzuki actually asked him to teach, and between the words, he obviously knew something about himself, which was unexpected.

Suzuki laughed, he glanced at Geng Chaozhong, and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhou, do you think I know you better?" ”

"Exactly," Geng Chaozhong nodded hurriedly, "The contemptible has only been teaching at Jinling Women's University for half a year, and the rest of the time is almost at home behind closed doors, but I didn't expect Mr. Suzuki to know so much about the contemptible people, which is really unexpected to me." ”

"Haha," Suzuki laughed, looked into Geng Chaozhong's eyes and said:

"Mr. Zhou, have you ever heard of Nanjing Tongwen Academy?"
