Chapter 643: Returning the Favor (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
Junpei Uehara saw that everyone was full of interest, and he needed to find an opportunity to contact and discuss with all parties when he returned to Shanghai, and today is the right time.
Junpei Uehara laughed, held Ning Zhiheng's hand, and said: "That's great, Fujiwara-kun, it was too hasty to say that the day of separation was too hasty, and I haven't had the opportunity to talk to you in detail, and it's the right time for everyone to get together today!" ”
After speaking, with a wave of his hand, everyone left the train station with Junpei Uehara and went straight to Wujiang Hotel.
Ning Zhiheng had been preparing for the arrival of Junpei Uehara for many days, and booked the Wujiang Hotel a few days in advance, and the hotel was lit up everywhere and hung with welcome slogans.
The lobby of the hotel was already full of banquets, and everyone sat down one after another, and Lieutenant General Naoya Tada, as the commander of the garrison, stepped up to the front desk to give a welcome speech.
Then Junpei Uehara came to the stage and said a few words to everyone, and the welcome banquet officially began.
Ning Zhiheng had already invited the best artists and stars in Shanghai, as well as Japanese performance groups, to perform on stage one after another, and the scene was extremely lively, making the atmosphere of the whole banquet very harmonious.
The large dining table in the middle of the front desk is naturally the main table that welcomes Junpei Uehara, the Japanese social class is very hierarchical, and here are accompanied by the highest level figures in Shanghai, Lieutenant General Tada Naoya and several major general officers sit on the left, and on the right are Kuroki Yueichi and Ning Zhiheng, as well as the commander of the military police, Ryuji Katsuta.
Kuroki Yueichi was originally reluctant to stay here, but Junpei Uehara insisted on inviting him, and he couldn't refuse, Ning Zhiheng, as a son of the top aristocratic Fujiwara family, was also a friend of Junpei Uehara, plus the current dominance of Fujiwara Club in Shanghai's business community, and the host, of course he was qualified to sit here.
Although the commander of the military police, Ryuji Katsuta, is a big sa, he is the chief officer of the special department that supervises the army, and he is also Ning Zhiheng's close friend.
As for the others, they are far from reaching this level, even Uehara Junpei's direct subordinate, the chief officer in charge of the military intelligence department, Uemura Takashi Daisa, can only be lined up at the table next to him, and he does not dare to go beyond it.
During the banquet, Junpei Uehara comforted the military generals a lot, and encouraged them warmly, mostly formulaic words, but when he turned his head to Kuroki Yueyi and Ning Zhiheng, it was completely a joke and conversation between friends, which was extremely cordial and friendly.
It was clear at a glance between the relatives and the relatives, and several general-level officers nodded secretly to this, and President Fujiwara really had a deep friendship with Lieutenant General Junpei Uehara, which was different.
During the banquet, other high-level figures came to greet Uehara Junpei, Uehara Junping responded one by one at first, and then he was a little impatient, Ning Zhiheng simply came forward to answer for it, as if as the spokesperson of Uehara Junping, he talked and behaved freely, so that Uehara Junping couldn't help nodding secretly, the shy and quiet young man at the beginning, I haven't seen him for a few years, and he has been so calm, it's really current affairs!
The whole reception banquet was held until late at night, and then they were all happy.
Ning Zhiheng and Kuroki Yueichi accompanied Junpei Uehara back to his original residence, which was a villa where Junpei Uehara lived before the Battle of Songhu.
Junpei Uehara's family members can join the army, but Junpei Uehara, as the head of the intelligence department, has a special nature of work, so his family stays in Japan, and he lives here alone.
The whole villa, except for one guard, was only followed by two old servants, which seemed quite clean.
Junpei Uehara was in a good mood today, and he had some unfinished fun, so he invited Ning Zhiheng and the two to sit for a while, and the three of them poured tea and chatted in the study.
"Heimu-kun, after the Battle of Songhu, I went to the Nanwu Bookstore to see, it has become a ruin, I know that this is your hard work for many years, it was destroyed by the war, it is a pity, you can rest assured, I will come back this time, I will definitely build a library for you again." Junpei Uehara said with a smile.
Kuroki Yue waved his hand and said, "Uehara-kun, thank you for your kindness, I understand it, so I won't trouble you!" ”
"What, what are you and I polite? I'll order the Shanghai Municipal Government to start construction tomorrow, so you don't have to excuse yourself! ”
Kuroki Yueyi pointed at Ning Zhiheng and said: "Fujiwara-kun has rebuilt the library for me, and what is even more rare is that he found the original design drawings, and the new library built is exactly the same as before, I am very satisfied." ”
"Oh!" Junpei Uehara turned his head to look at Ning Zhiheng, his mind was spinning, this young man did things with love and righteousness, just for the kindness of Kuroki Yueichi, he did not hesitate to spend so much thought and financial resources in order to repay him, it was really rare!
Thinking of this, he already secretly had an answer to the matter in his heart, and said: "Fujiwara-kun has a heart!" Your changes in the past two years, let me be impressed, the original talented literary youth, now has become a rich business giant, I have heard in Nanjing, Fujiwara Club in Shanghai in the past two years, business is prosperous, I really don't know what has happened in the past two years! ”
Junpei Uehara has been fighting on the front line in the army for the past two years, and it was not until he returned to Nanjing from Wuhan two months ago that he had the opportunity to understand the situation in Shanghai, and when he heard about Fujiwara Kaisha, he didn't think that it was his little friend's industry at all, until he saw the name Fujiwara Tomohito, and then he reacted.
As the head of the intelligence department, he is extremely well-informed, and with an order, someone soon sent him some information about the Fujiwara Society, and Fujiwara Tomohito's performance in business made Uehara Junpei secretly surprised.
Ning Zhiheng naturally knew that an intelligence leader of the level of Junpei Uehara couldn't hide his own things from people at all, in fact, he didn't deliberately hide it, in Shanghai, Fujiwara Kaisha has become a business overlord in the de facto sense, this is a well-known thing.
Ning Zhiheng smiled bitterly, a trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes, and he said slowly: "General, the so-called current affairs make people, I originally wanted to find a quiet place to study and study, but in troubled times, I always ask for life!" At the beginning, in order to make a living, I had no choice but to do it, but I came to the current situation step by step, thinking about it, I feel like a dream, which makes the general smile! ”
Junpei Uehara nodded slowly, he knew very well that in the years of war and chaos, a weak young man was adrift in a foreign land, lonely, what did he go through to transform to this point, and he was also struggling and bitter to know himself.
"Fujiwara-kun, there is something I want to ask you, I received a letter from my home two months ago, saying that someone gave my family a rather luxurious villa, as well as a few shops, the person who came put down the real estate deed, just said that it was to repay my life-saving grace, and left in a hurry, our family didn't know why, so they wrote to me to confirm, I searched in many ways, and I didn't find this person, does this matter have anything to do with you?"
Junpei Uehara left the two of them here today, mainly to inquire about this matter.
Junhei Uehara was born in a civilian family, and his family background was ordinary, but later he gradually broke through the situation in the army, and the environment at home gradually improved, but it was only at the upper middle level.
After all, Japan's population is increasing day by day, the economic situation is gradually declining, and the people are complaining everywhere, and the overall environment is not very good, otherwise the Japanese top brass would not be in a hurry to launch a war of aggression against China and divert class contradictions in order to calm down the people's voices.
In this environment, the situation of Uehara Junpei's family can only be said to be average, and suddenly someone sent a large amount of real estate stores, all of which were just purchased in the name of the above Hara Junpei's family, and before they had time to ask, the person who came put down the deed, left a sentence and left, which suddenly made Uehara Junpei's family frightened, so they hurriedly wrote a letter to ask Uehara Junpei.
When Junpei Uehara received the letter, he was returning to Nanjing from the front line, and he was also confused, and he didn't know why, but later the investigation report of Fujiwara Kaisha was delivered to his hand, and then he suddenly thought of Fujiwara Tomohito.
The other party's repaid grace for saving his life can be confirmed to Fujiwara Tomohito.
You must know that the nature of Junpei Uehara's work is to detect and arrest soldiers who violate laws and disciplines, and enemy spy agents, and he can be said to have arrested and killed countless people in his life.
If you want to say that the enemy is everywhere, but there are almost no cases of rescuers, and anyone who is targeted by the intelligence department will have a good end?
In fact, this situation is the same at home and abroad, as long as it is done in intelligence work, which one will have a good end? Isn't it because doing this kind of work is all grudges, how can there be kindness to others? Everyone is afraid and disgusted because this kind of person has special power, and when there is a chance, they want to step on it and fall into the well.
So if you want to be Meng Weijun, don't be a spy!
Junpei Uehara knows his own affairs, he is in a high position, he is strict, and he does a lot of things to deal with others, where do he usually have any good fate, not to mention any life-saving grace!
But he had a life-saving move to Ning Zhiheng two years ago, when the war was about to start, and the Japanese were ready to send young men to the front line, Uehara Junpei cherished Fujiwara Tomohito's talent, so he made an exception and leaked the news to Fujiwara Tomohito in advance, telling him to flee Shanghai in time and avoid a war.
Now that I have seen the information of Fujiwara Kaisha, I think that the only person who has received his life-saving grace and has the financial strength to give so many real estate shops to his family is Fujiwara Tomohito, the president of Fujiwara Kaisha.
That's why he asked bluntly today, wanting to get to the bottom of this matter thoroughly.
As soon as his words came out, even Kuroki Yueyi on the side also looked at Ning Zhiheng in surprise, he knew that with this little friend's temperament, he had completely done such a thing to repay him, and he was not a good example.
When Ning Zhiheng heard this, he couldn't help but blush, and said a little shyly after a while: "This matter is indeed what I did, if it wasn't for the general's love and making an exception to tell the general in secret, so that Zhiren had the opportunity to escape from Shanghai in time, go to Hong Kong for development, and escape the catastrophe, I would not have today's situation, so I have always wanted to repay the general for saving his life, but I know that the general you have always been rigorous, and you will never accept my favors, and besides, you have been on the front line, you and I rarely see each other, and I have no way to repay each other, That's why I asked someone to buy some property in the name of your family in the country and send it to the house, and I ask the general to forgive me about this matter! ”
