When the convoy arrived in Suzhou, it was already dark, which was also planned in advance, just in time for dinner, Chen Mingxiang put the car in the office, and the car of the military police of the Qingxiang Committee pulled him and Wang Manyun to the restaurant.

Although Li Shiqun has become the provincial chairman, he still gives Chen Mingxiang a lot of face, and sets up a feast in the best restaurant to catch him up, in addition to the deepening cooperation between the two in terms of buying and selling, the key is that Chen Mingxiang came to Suzhou this time to discuss with him how to deal with Su Chengde.

In addition to Haruki Nakasa and Wang Manyun, Shunji Kaneji, head of the economic special service of the Cheongxiang Committee, Kenfumi Shigeto, chief of the military police of the Kiyoxiang Committee of the General Headquarters of the Dispatch Army, and Kiyosa Ogasawara, staff officer of the Second Section of the General Headquarters of the Dispatch Army, also attended the banquet.

These are the emperors sent by the Japanese army to the Qingxiang Committee, and at the same time, the **** has improved the grade of the reception banquet, which also shows from the side that Li Shiqun has a very close relationship with them.

"You have made great contributions to the empire in Suzhou, and you have also worked hard for the work of the Jinling government, and I have brought some red wine and cigars from Shanghai, which is a little personal heart, and I express my respect and condolences to the elites of the empire."

"You are all warriors of His Majesty the Emperor, and you don't see such things as money, but life during the war was relatively hard, and I would like to extend my greetings to your families." Chen Mingxiang said with a smile.

Chen Mingxiang naturally did not waste this opportunity, and each Japanese officer was given two cases of French red wine and a case of cigars, plus a red envelope of two thousand US dollars.

He doesn't come to Suzhou often, and if he wants to maintain the relationship, he has to use this lowest and most effective means, and if he doesn't spend the money in his hand, he will lose his value.

After such a long period of exercise, Chen Mingxiang is already very proficient in saying some flattery against his will, his face is not red and his heart is not beating, and he looks very "sincere" and natural.

These Japanese officers were not unaware of Li Shiqun and Chen Mingxiang's behavior of reselling grain in private, but they held Li Shiqun's benefits in one hand and Chen Mingxiang's benefits in the other, and as long as they did not harm the interests of the Japanese army, they would turn a blind eye, so the atmosphere at the wine table was very lively.

"Chen Jun came to Suzhou this time, is it for business or private affairs? I saw the Qingxiang plan sent by the Shanghai Special Municipal Government, and in the personnel structure, you will serve as the director of the blockade materials management division of the Shanghai branch of the Qingxiang Committee, and you are also one of the committee members. Kaneji Shunji Nakasa said with a smile.

"This is also an inevitable result, Chen Jun is known as the most loyal follower of the Great Japanese Empire, has made great contributions to the cause of our Empire, and has been highly praised by the General Headquarters of the Dispatch Army, and is also a registered figure in the base camp, he should enjoy such treatment." Kenfumi Shigedo said with a smile.

Who doesn't know that you secretly took Chen Mingxiang's protection money to escort his industry?

Although the Japanese officers present did not say anything, they were clear in their hearts that Shigeto Kenwen was Chen Mingxiang's umbrella within the scope of Soviet Province!

Some time ago, the people of Huazhong Silk Co., Ltd. and Chen Mingxiang were harvesting raw silk in the countryside at the same time, and there was a conflict between the two sides because of the price.

Chen Mingxiang's silk reeling factory gave a lot of money, and the people of Huazhong Silk Co., Ltd. did not give enough cost price, and the people were of course willing to sell to Chen Mingxiang's silk reeling factory.

The people of the Central China Silk Co., Ltd., with the support of the Japanese army, were basically crabs, and they had always been on rampage, and there were fierce physical clashes on both sides.

However, after receiving the report, Shigeto Kenfumi's gendarmerie rushed to the scene without asking any questions, and when they went, they beat the people of the Central China Silk Co., Ltd. all over the ground looking for teeth, knowing that there was a Japanese inside!

The senior leaders of the Central China Silk Co., Ltd. were furious and approached the Central China Liaison Department of the Xingya Academy, but when General Taiji Ota heard that it was Chen Mingxiang's industry, he didn't care at all.

This is not to say that he has much friendship with Chen Mingxiang, but the Japanese chaebol has never listened to the command of the Central China Liaison Department of the Xingya Academy, and when something happens, he comes to the door and really treats him as a grandson?

There was no way, Huazhong Silk Co., Ltd. sent a document to the provincial government of Suzhou Province to question, and Li Shiqun didn't care about it, but said that the people of Huazhong Silk Co., Ltd. snatched raw silk by force, which caused a very bad impact on the imperial army and the provincial government in the local area.

Find the General Headquarters of the Dispatch Army to come forward, then it will be even more useless, this point of buying and selling those military bigwigs can't see in their eyes, what kind of bullshit and bad things will also make trouble to the supreme command body, I am a military organ, not to wipe your ass!

It's not that Chen Mingxiang's status is high to a certain extent, but this fact is too small, so small that it is not worth paying attention to, how much is a few cars of raw silk, and it is a bit of a fuss to deal with it.

"Don't mention it, I'm also trying to avoid the gossip in Shanghai, come to Suzhou to relax, and take a look at the industry in Suzhou and Hangzhou by the way, you may know that many of the things I do involve the military secrets of the imperial army, which cannot be made public."

"But at the moment, there is a crooked wind blowing in Shanghai, and I actually say that I am a corpse vegetarian, holding multiple positions and taking the government's salary but not doing things, and some people say that I will only bribe the leaders with sycophants, so I have come to this point, anyway, the words are getting more and more ugly."

"Dean Chen also felt that people's words were terrifying, so he supported me to leave the Shanghai market for a period of time, out of sight, out of ear, and quiet in my heart." Chen Mingxiang sighed and said.

There must be a reason for the absence of wind and waves, and everyone present knew that this was not false, and Chen Mingxiang's main job was to purchase materials for the Japanese army and do underground smuggling, and the rest of the work could not be taken care of at all.

In particular, the foreign affairs commissioner of the city government and the deputy director of the social bureau basically do not see his shadow, which creates a false impression for people, and they do not work with money.

Recently, the market of the Chinese reserve bonds has been bullish, and the municipal government's finances are abundant, and Chen Gongbo has approved a large amount of activity funds for these two departments, which has aroused the jealousy of many subordinate departments of the municipal government.

In particular, the Foreign Affairs Office does not see any concrete achievements in the eyes of the people, except for holding a cocktail party, a group of people squatting in the office to drink tea and chat, there is really no need to exist.

In addition, Chen Mingxiang gave Mo Guokang a valuable gift, which was said by herself, plus the two sisters, Zhuoxian and Bingxian, worked in the Foreign Affairs Office, hanging the position of secretary, and it was strange that there were no people in the establishment, and there were no gossips.

"Jun Chen, why do you bother with the opinions of these vulgar people, you just haven't heard it, with the empire and the Jinling government as your backing, who dares to do anything to you, what can they do?"

"Actually, Dean Chen's personality is a little weak, for these people who chew the root of their tongues, they find that one by one takes them away, and some people are waiting for the top, and letting it go is not a good solution, you came at the right time, His Excellency Shunroku Hata will inspect Suzhou the day after tomorrow." Sunny Nakasa said.
