Chapter 4 Kirijiro Oda

The conversation with Liu Hongbo lasted for about several hours, Liu Hongbo made a few sushi dishes, made a few Northeast side dishes, and held a "dinner party" that combined China and Japan.

It's just about his own task, but Geng Chaozhong never mentioned it, and Liu Hongbo was also interested, and didn't mention this stubble at all - for him, it doesn't matter what task Geng Chaozhong performs, what he has to do is to play a good Japanese and leave a good way out for Geng Chaozhong.

Drinking until the evening, Liu Hongbo was already drunk and unconscious, Geng Chaozhong took advantage of the night to sneak out and walked quickly in the direction of the Osaka Railway Station.

Osaka is eerily quiet at night, with little movement except for the roar of the whistle from the port in the distance, and the occasional few officers in black uniforms walk by on the asphalt road, but these officers talk and laugh, and look no different from the Chinese patrol officers.

Compared with China at this time, Japan's internal security was actually excellent, and there were few vicious incidents, and the Japanese police seemed much more leisurely; as for the residents, due to the economic crisis, the factories were closed, or they returned to their residences early, or went to places such as "izakayas" and "kabuchos" for fun, and no one paid attention to Geng Chaozhong, a "fake Oriental devil".

Geng Chaozhong rushed to the direction of the train station, while thinking about the scene of meeting Liu Hongbo just now - the head of the light pole of the Osaka branch of the secret service is actually not a very professional spy, and it is estimated that the acting boss's training for him is also very limited, but Liu Hongbo himself has no wife and no children, and has more than ten years of experience as a "Japanese", as long as he does not do anything particularly out of the ordinary, absolutely no one will suspect it, and this may also be the reason why the acting boss takes a fancy to him.

Forget it, don't think about it so much.

Geng Chaozhong shook his head silently, as long as there are no accidents, there should be no need for Liu Hongbo, an idle chess player, the top priority is to go to Tokyo first and connect with Yun Wei, who has been absent for half a year!

...........

After a night of train, at 9 o'clock the next morning, with the roar of the whistle, Geng Chaozhong, who was carrying a suitcase, walked out of Tokyo North Railway Station with the rolling flow of people.

a Japanese "gentleman" wearing a suit, carrying a civilization stick, but with a mustache on his upper lip; a "fashionable girl" with high heels and a long trench coat on her head, but with a traditional Japanese hairpin tied on her head; There are also many young people wearing black student uniforms and workers' hats, which constitute the unique scenery of Tokyo Railway Station, all of which are not much different from what Geng Chaozhong saw in Shanghai, the only difference is that people here walk much faster than the Chinese in Shanghai, and their expressions are generally very serious, which is also a significant change brought about by industrialized society - the pace of life of all people has been accelerated.

But for Geng Chaozhong, all this is relatively easy to accept, because he has seen people who walk faster and have more serious expressions.

Out of the train station, Geng Chaozhong walked outside with a familiar car, looking like a native of Japan, this is not because Geng Chaozhong has been to Tokyo, but just because of habit - he will not look around like a strange tourist, nor will he look around like a stranger who has just arrived in a certain place, he prefers to calmly study the road and street signs, which will reduce some unnecessary trouble for him.

At least, a few people with fierce faces, wearing open-chested kimonos, and looking like yakuza people didn't bother themselves.

got on the tram and found an old lady sitting next to him, in the other party's slightly disgusted eyes, Geng Chaozhong asked the location of the Tokyo Normal School, and it was not until he got up to leave that he heard the other party's whispered complaint:

"Hokkaido's cattle breeder!"

It turned out to be the fault of his Hokkaido accent - Geng Chaozhong smiled bitterly and stepped off the train, it seems that the so-called regional discrimination will not be an exception anywhere.

Half an hour later, Tokyo Normal School.

Tokyo Normal School, later known as the University of Tsukuba in Japan, was only a full-time junior college at this time, and the school buildings were also very simple, except for two four-story "high-rise buildings" that could be seen at a glance, and the rest were all low bungalows, not to mention compared with several universities in Shanghai, even compared with several schools in Nanjing, it was also far away.

"Visiting scholars from Shanghai?"

The janitor in the communication room looked at Geng Chaozhong with strange eyes, and it was not until he found a little shadow of "teaching and educating people" on Geng Chaozhong's smiling and amiable face that he picked up the phone on the table and began to report the situation to his superiors, while Geng Chaozhong waited quietly on the side.

Within a few minutes, a man in a suit with glasses came to the school gate with hurried steps, aimed at Geng Chaozhong at a glance, walked over quickly and bent over ninety degrees, and said:

"Your Excellency, I am Oda Kirijiro, assistant to the school's deputy secretary of education, welcome to Japan, welcome to the school, you are Zhou Xuanhe, Zhou San, right?!"

"Yes senior, thank you for your personal greeting, you are so polite!" Geng Chaozhong also bowed in return.

The assistant to the deputy secretary of education should be the secretary of the director of education, and it seems that this Oda Kiritharo should be at the lower level of the school management body, but it should also be the most convenient and fastest channel for him to understand the school.

"Please come with me, I have just received news that a scholar from China is going to visit our school, if there is anything neglected, please forgive me." Oda Kirijiro walked in front of him diligently to lead the way, and at the same time greeted Geng Chaozhong.

"It doesn't matter, it's our reason, you know, those stupid and inefficient Ministry of Education bureaucrats." Geng Chaozhong shrugged.

"Hehe, I understand, I understand."

Oda Kirijiro's old-fashioned face showed a little smile, and his complaints about the bureaucrats of the Ministry of Education can be said to be the biggest common denominator between the education circles of the two countries, and Oda Kirijiro suddenly had a good impression of this Chinese from the far west.

"Senior, if it's not presumptuous, can I call you Brother Oda Kiri in the future? You know, in China, we call our esteemed peers brothers, so I'll call you that, no problem, right? Geng Chaozhong said with a smile.

"Of course, it's an honor, of course you can call it that, if you keep calling seniors, it's too rusty." Kirijiro Oda replied with a smile.

"Thank you, strictly speaking, you are the first person I officially met in Japan, and I would love to make a good start to my trip to Japan and learn better about your country's advanced education system." Geng Chaozhong walked and bowed slightly.

"Of course, I also admire the profound and long-standing Chinese culture, and I would like to ask for more advice in the future!" Oda Kiritharo nodded hurriedly.

After a warm and respectful exchange, Oda Kirijiro took Geng Chaozhong to an office, a room on the third floor of the school's four-story office building, and beckoned Geng Chaozhong to sit down.

"Zhou Sang, you are different from the Chinese I have seen, you are very personable and charismatic, I hope we can become friends in the future, in the words of the Chinese, many friends and many roads, I hope that I will become your first road in Japan." However, please wait for me, as our Deputy Minister, Mr. Suzuki, has gone to the Ministry of Education for a meeting, and I am expected to be back in half an hour. ”
