A thing that didn't seem like a big deal, and it just passed.

The usually domineering hooligan ruffian knelt at the door of a luxury store, and such a thing immediately spread throughout Jinling City, and the reputation of the Anqing Society was seriously affected in Jinling.

But these people can betray the country and the nation and become traitors, how can there be such a thing as face, they are still ruffians and hooligans who ordinary people can't provoke, but they both know each other that Liang Zi has formed a hate, which is a lifetime of hatred.

The Japanese appreciated Han Lin's approach, and they did not give up, but only let these ruffians who made trouble kneel in front of the store for half an hour, and the compensation was accepted, indicating that the matter was over.

Only Ying Zuo Zhenzhao felt very guilty, he felt that Han Lin's face was damaged, and this time he actually failed to kill two dogs to vent his anger, and his strength was a little low.

Jingle bells, the phone rings.

"I'm Han Lin, who is it?" Han Lin asked.

"I'm Zhou Gaohai, Brother Han Lin, you don't say hello to me when you come to Jinling, the store opened and invited the Gongbo to cut the ribbon, this is not treating me as a friend!" Zhou Qihai's voice came.

"Minister Zhou is also the Minister of Finance, the Minister of Police, and the Governor of the Central Reserve Bank, and in terms of the busyness of the work, the entire new government is unmatched, unlike President Chen, who does some retreat work, I don't dare to disturb you." Han Lin said with a smile.

"I can't say that, I can't be busy with work, I can't alienate my friends for work, I heard that your second store is about to open?" Zhou Gaohai asked.

"Opening on the 15th, if Minister Zhou can come with a face, I am very honored!" Han Lin said.

"Then it's decided!" Zhou Gaohai said.

Temporary residence in Zhougaohai.

"Lao Zhou, is it necessary to rush to be a ribbon-cutting guest?" Mrs. Zhou asked curiously.

She has seen with her own eyes that Zhou Gaohai's power within the new government is monstrous, and almost all the major senior officials of ministries and commissions are decided by Zhou Gaohai, although because of Chen Bijun's obstruction, he failed to become the vice president of the Executive Yuan, but to say that the actual power is second only to Wang Jingwei.

Zhou Gaohai is still very proud, he has held important positions in the Shancheng government for a long time, and once became the propaganda minister of the Shancheng government and the deputy director of the second division of the chamberlain, but there are not many people who can enter his eyes.

"Han Lin is a special person, do you know why the Japanese connived at his activities in the occupied area, and even pretended not to see it for the Shancheng government to steal confidential information? He is President Jiang's senior staff officer, and he can barely be called a staff member, a little worse, but it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a confidant, and the Japanese want to maintain private contact with the Shancheng government through Han Lin's identity. ”

"Although our new government has been formed, the Japanese side has been slow to publicly admit it, refuse to establish ambassadorial-level relations, refuse President Wang's visit to Japan, and are bent on negotiating with the Yamashiro government.

"There is an idiom in China called the three holes of the cunning rabbit, I keep in touch with Han Lin privately, there is no harm to me, people have no long-term worries, and one more step of chess may have a very important role." Zhou Gaohai said with a smile.

He is a seasoned politician, and he has never done things all the way to the black, of course, he is at this time when he is full of ambition, firmly believing that Japan can finally destroy the Yamashiro government and occupy the whole of China, this result is inevitable, therefore, he wants to grab power more and form his own faction, and has no intention of using Han Lin and the Yamashiro government to get involved.

It's just that out of the instinct of a politician, he wants to take one more step for himself, during the war, the situation is changing rapidly, and he has long been prepared to be temporary, the Japanese have frequent contact with Han Lin, and even become a guest, what does he have to fear?

"I also heard that the group of ruffians and hooligans of the Anqing Association went to Han Lin's industry to make trouble and collect protection money, but they publicly ran to the store to apologize, and scolded and beat the ruffians who made trouble in public, knelt outside the door for half an hour before leaving, and the whole Jinling was spread all over Jinling, which could make the gang bow its head, needless to say, it must be the Japanese who came forward to exert pressure." Mrs. Zhou said.

"A group of ruffians who don't know the height of the sky, they are all pawns that are used, and they can be abandoned at any time, I also heard that the opening ceremony that day was attended by Kage Zuo Zhenzhao, Oki Fan, Inu Yangjian, Nishi Yoshixian, and the gendarmerie Osa Oyamaya, and then Chen Gongbo, when they encounter such a thing, they deserve to be unlucky." Zhou Gaohai said with a sneer.

After the establishment of the Wang puppet government, it was also trying its best to win over the gangs, and Xu used high-ranking officials to act as thugs for his own regime, Chang Yuqing and others even became advisers, legislators, and supervisors of the Wang puppet government, and many high-ranking officials joined the gangs and used the power of the gangs to develop their power.

But in fact, these big traitors of Wang's puppet government have a very low opinion of a group of ruffians and hooligans, and in the eyes of the Japanese, the gang members are dogs, and in the eyes of Wang's puppet government, they are still dogs.

On April 15th, the Champs-Elysées No. 2 store was opened, and this time Han Lin really invited Zhou Gaohai to cut the ribbon, and Ying Zuo Zhenzhao, Inu Yangjian, Nishi Yoshixian, Oki Fan and Koyama Ya came again to congratulate, and also received the gift box for the opening ceremony of the No. 2 store.

"Lao Su, when your brother arrives, you are gone, you can't stand me!" Han Lin said with a smile.

Su Chengde, head of the Jinling District of the Secret Service Headquarters and director of the Special Police Department of the Ministry of Police, also came to the door of the store with a group of spies and took the initiative to undertake the work of maintaining order. It's just that this time, there will be no blind people to collect protection money again.

"Brother, you didn't say hello to me when you opened, you are a typical wicked person to sue first! This time, I also came uninvited, and I specially gave you the opening ceremony of the second store to stand guard on duty, which is interesting enough, right? Su Chengde also said with a smile.

"As the saying goes, you'd rather be a chicken head than a cow queen, you don't have the ability to mess around, Jinling is a pivotal place, it can be said that there are many opportunities, why follow Brother Shiqun and delay your future? As the saying goes, we are all old friends, and it's almost time to help the brothers, it's time to think about your future! Han Lin said meaningfully.

Su Chengde has great ambitions, in his previous life, because of Lin Baisheng, who relied on Wang Jingwei's "Mansion Faction", he committed Li Shiqun's taboo, and was removed from the post of Jinling District Mayor and served as the director of the Jinling Police Department.

After the abolition of the Ministry of Police, he left the secret service headquarters and became the director of the Jinling Police Department for a time, and concurrently served as the vice chairman of the Military Special Committee of the Wang puppet government, with the rank of lieutenant general.

In order to repay the Mansion faction and Lin Baisheng, he set up a spy organization, called the International News Agency, to collect intelligence for the Mansion faction, and his power also expanded rapidly, which annoyed Li Shiqun and forced Wang Jingwei to remove him, and since then he has lost power until he was finally liquidated.

"Brother, this is really thinking about me, it is not in vain for our old friends over the years, when it comes to the heart, wait a minute, it is actually not mature at the moment." Su Chengde nodded repeatedly.

Of course, he was unwilling to succumb to Li Shiqun, when he was in one place, he was still Li Shiqun's boss, every time he went to Li's house for dinner, he was like an uncle, Ye Jiqing saved Li Shiqun from prison and gave him a generous gift.

But feng shui takes turns, Li Shiqun relied on the Japanese to take refuge early, and was reused by the Japanese, he has now become Li Shiqun's subordinate, and when he came to Jinling, he was already thinking about how to catch the line of the big traitors of the Wang puppet government, Han Lin said this to his mind.

The opening of the Champs-Elysées No. 2 store was very smooth and lively, and that night, Han Lin and Lu Manyin came to Zhou Gaohai's temporary residence with gifts.
