Chapter 644: Uncle and Nephew Recognize Each Other (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
Of course, Ning Zhiheng did not do this to repay any life-saving grace, at the beginning, Junpei Uehara just didn't tell him the secret of the war, and he would not stay in Shanghai to wait for death, he would definitely get out before the war.
It's just that Junpei Uehara's leaked news gave him an excuse to flee Shanghai.
His real purpose in doing this is naturally to curry favor with Uehara Junpei, as early as when he entered Shanghai to establish the Fujiwara Society, he has been waving the banner of Uehara Junpei, how much wind and rain has this banner shielded him!
Isn't it because Ishikawa Takeshi knew that he was a friend of Junpei Uehara, so he deliberately befriended him and became one of his right-hand men.
It was for this reason that the commander of the gendarmerie, Ryuji Katsuta, never discounted his requests, and it can be said that he responded to his requests, and with the strong support of Ryuji Katsuta, Fujiwara Kaisha was able to take the major Japanese chambers of commerce under its command, and achieved the status of Fujiwara Kaisha today.
Therefore, Lieutenant General Junpei Uehara is the real backer of Ning Zhiheng who was able to show his strength in Shanghai and be like a fish in water.
For this big backer, Ning Zhiheng has always tried his best to hollow out his mind and spend financial and material resources to restore the Nanwu Library for Kuroki Yueyi, isn't the main reason because Kuroki Yueyi has been a friend of Junpei Uehara for many years? It is also a bridge of communication between himself and Junpei Uehara.
For Uehara Junpei himself, Ning Zhiheng did not put much effort into it, he had sent people into Japan many times a long time ago to investigate, first, to investigate the real Fujiwara Tomohito's life experience and specific circumstances, and second, to investigate some of the circumstances in Uehara Junpei's family.
When he learned that the situation at Junpei Uehara's family was not satisfactory, he immediately had his own idea.
Ning Zhiheng knows that for these men with families, giving money is not enough to make them grateful, they will only think that it is due to their own ability, but if they can benefit their families, this nature is completely different, and the effect is very different.
Therefore, Ning Zhiheng has always liked to use real estate to impress the other party, so that you have to accept it, and you must accept it.
This was the case for Ryuji Katsuta at the beginning, a top villa made Ryuji Katsuta very glorious in front of his family, and immediately made the two of them best friends.
For Kuroki Yueichi, the gift of Nanwu Bookstore has made Ning Zhiheng famous in Shanghai's literary and artistic circles and academic circles, who doesn't know that President Fujiwara is a person who values love and righteousness.
For the top boss Huang Xianzheng, as well as his teacher He Feng, the many properties donated by him have raised Ning Zhiheng's status in their minds by another level.
Now it's the same for Uehara Junpei, Ning Zhiheng ordered someone to buy a large amount of real estate as a gift, and deliberately asked people to leave only one sentence, and left in a hurry without revealing their names.
Because he knew that the ability of Uehara Junping would soon be able to find himself, and everything was so logical.
Although Junpei Uehara himself was in a high position in the Japanese army invading China, he rarely took care of his family members in Japan, and he had always felt quite guilty in his heart, and now Ning Zhiheng suddenly gave so much real estate to his family, so that Junpei Uehara, who was far away in China, was very relieved and had no worries, and his attitude towards Ning Zhiheng was suddenly very different.
This is also one of the reasons why Junpei Uehara has always maintained a warm attitude towards Ning Zhiheng at the welcome banquet today.
"Fujiwara-kun, I only reminded you because I cherished your talent and to repay you for your hard work in sorting out my manuscript, but for this little thing, you made a special trip back to China to buy real estate for my family, this gift is too heavy!" Junpei Uehara said with emotion.
Now that the family has taken over the property, naturally it can't be returned, and Uehara Junpei has no intention of returning it, and he is not a clean official, and the large amount of wealth in his hands is still pushed out.
He also knows very well that Fujiwara Tomohito is thriving in Shanghai by virtue of his influence, and he only needs to continue to endorse Fujiwara Tomohito, and this favor is enough to return to Fujiwara.
Ning Zhiheng also opened his mouth and said: "General, Fujiwara can have today, it is all thanks to the general, please smile at this little kindness, and besides, there is also a friendship between friends, please don't take it to heart!" ”
On the side, Kuroki Yueichi also opened his mouth and said: "Uehara-kun, don't shirk it, you see that I'm not the same, after returning to Shanghai, I saw the Nanwu Bookstore that had been restored, didn't I have to accept it, did I still have to go back and live up to my friend's heart?" ”
Kuroki Yueichi's words made Junpei Uehara's face soften, and his smile bloomed, and he nodded and said, "Okay, Fujiwara-kun, I'll appreciate it this time, and you can tell me anything in the future, I'm not an unreasonable antique!" ”
Ning Zhiheng couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this, knowing that after receiving this gift, he would be able to let go of his hands and feet in the future, under the banner of Uehara Junpei, expand his smuggling empire, and even extend his tentacles into Nanjing, the capital of Gyeonggi in the future.
Because he knew that next year, Nanjing would become the capital of the puppet government in the limelight, an important base for the Japanese invasion of China, and all the important measures and measures of the Japanese puppet government were formulated and implemented here.
Therefore, Nanjing will inevitably become the center of competition between Chinese and Japanese agents, and he hopes to once again take the lead in this espionage battle and make all preparations in advance.
Ning Zhiheng raised the teacup in his hand at this time, turned his head to look at Kuroki Yueyi, and said in a sincere tone: "At the beginning, I was struggling in my hometown, and I came overseas to live in desperation, which can be said to be penniless, and my livelihood is unsustainable. One more glass to the two division commanders! ”
Ning Zhiheng's tone was sincere and his words were sincere, which made Junpei Uehara and Kuroki Yue couldn't help but be moved, and they all raised their glasses.
Junpei Uehara also said sincerely: "Fujiwara-kun, I know that you have been lonely since you were a child, and it is not easy to have today, I have been friends with Kuroki-kun for many years, you call Kuroki-kun Mr., I will be obsessed with you, so that in the future, you and my uncle and nephew will be commensurate, in order to show closeness, don't be too angry!" ”
Uehara Junpei's words are intended to take the relationship between each other further, and from then on, the two are no longer simple friends, but also the family relationship between the elders and juniors, which is also the result of Uehara Junpei's great attention to Ning Zhiheng.
I have to say that the Japanese identity chosen by Ning Zhiheng is extremely advantageous, a child of a top aristocratic family, in the hierarchical Japanese society, first has an advantage in blood.
Then it happened to be the down-and-out side branch disciples, which happened to give people pity and sympathy.
Coupled with his own outstanding talent, he is extremely in the eyes of Uehara Junpei, and he has a life-saving grace for him, so that Uehara Junpei cherishes him a lot.
All these factors add up, which makes Junpei Uehara, a powerful intelligence boss who is accustomed to the world and has been weathered for a long time, decide to tie the interests of each other together and take the relationship between the two people further.
Ning Zhiheng heard Uehara Junping say this, where was there any prevarication, his face showed ecstasy, and he hurriedly said: "Thank you general, no, thank you uncle for your love, Zhiren is willing to drive in the future, and he will live up to his uncle's expectations!" ”
Kuroki Yueichi also said happily: "It's also a great blessing for your uncle and nephew to recognize each other today, come, let's replace wine with tea, dry!" ”
The three of them toasted together, and the atmosphere was very harmonious for a while, and they talked about it late at night, and then they said goodbye and left.
Ning Zhiheng sent Kuroki Yueyi back to his residence, and then he returned to his home, and he was also excited to sit on the chair.
He didn't expect that his gains today would be so great, and all the previous preparations had perfectly achieved the expected results, even far beyond his expectations.
Junpei Uehara was a high-ranking general in the center of the Japanese military, especially the top officer in charge of the intelligence department, and his power was as great as you can imagine.
With the endorsement of Junpei Uehara, his future work in Shanghai will be better carried out, and it has also added an extremely solid protection for himself, at least the general intelligence department will no longer have any doubts about himself.
Of course, Junpei Uehara himself is also an extremely experienced intelligence chief, and when he gets along with him, he must be mentally uplifted, and he must not show the slightest flaw, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable.
Early the next morning, Ning Zhiheng went to visit Uehara Junpei again and gave several ancient regular script books he had collected to Uehara Junpei.
Junpei Uehara was extremely satisfied with this gift, he has always liked elegance, especially calligraphy, and his only pastime is writing in his spare time during the march, and his calligraphy is quite famous in the army.
"Uncle, there is a special gathering place for scholars and artists in Shanghai, called Mulan Society, not far from the east of the city, usually Mr. Kuroki and I often go there to meet, there are a lot of calligraphy everyone, are good pen pals, one day you are free, I will accompany you to go around, you can discuss and exchange, with your calligraphy attainments, it will definitely surprise everyone!"
"And this kind of place? That's great! Junpei Uehara was very interested, he himself loved literature and calligraphy, but there were very few people in the army, and he felt lonely, and now he knew that there was such a good place, and he was immediately quite moved.
"It was founded by a few artists from the diaspora after the Songhu War, and now dozens of artists and scholars have gathered, and Kuroki Yuesheng and I are one of them!" Ning Zhiheng said quite smugly, looking like he liked elegance.
"Great, but I need to do a lot of work when I go back to Shanghai this time, and it is estimated that it will take a while to deal with it, and when I have free time, I will call you, and you will accompany me to take a look!" Junpei Uehara nodded in agreement, and then looked at Ning Zhiheng again, "Speaking of which, my work this time has something to do with you!" ”
"What does it have to do with me?" Ning Zhiheng's heart tightened, but there was a look of curiosity on his face.
Junpei Uehara nodded at Ning Zhiheng and said with a smile: "Haha, you Fujiwara family bigwigs are coming to Shanghai, and I came to Shanghai this time to welcome him!" ”
When Ning Zhiheng heard this, his heart was shocked, although he had already prepared for this day, but when it came to the end, he still felt caught off guard!
