For two consecutive days, Yan Shuo met with all the registered personnel, undercover agents, and new recruits of the Military Intelligence Bureau's Shanghai Station on the third floor of the Yipinxiang Hotel, learning about the situation of each department and deploying follow-up work.
On the third day, he remained at the hotel and summoned the heads of various businesses under his empire to discuss the daily operations and future plans for Fengming Film Industry, the mine, the beverage factory, and other industries.
During this time, Miyamoto Ichiro made a special trip to ask Yan Shuo why he chose to work at Yipinxiang Hotel, and also summoned a large number of his subordinates, his expression carrying a hint of probing.
Yan Shuo was prepared and explained with a smile that most of the people summoned had high levels of education. The purpose of the summons was to assess, promote, and formally hire them in order to improve the talent structure of the business team. This explanation was reasonable and completely dispelled Miyamoto Ichiro's doubts, making him completely convinced.
After Miyamoto Ichiro left, Maeda Yuji followed, with a similar purpose to Miyamoto Ichiro: to be curious about Yan Shuo's recent actions.
Yan Shuo used the same excuse as before leaving, and before leaving, he gave Maeda Yuji a lot of Yipinxiang Restaurant vouchers and drinks, and put all the expenses on his own account.
Stefan saw this and was delighted, his eyes crinkling like a Maitreya Buddha.
Yan Shuo's move was undoubtedly helping him attract customers and enhance the restaurant's reputation. In the future, when these Japanese people come to dine, his business will surely flourish.
Not long after, Li Qun also came to see Yan Shuo. With a solemn expression, he mentioned that among the people Yan Shuo had summoned in the past few days, many looked familiar and were suspected to be colleagues of those who had defected from the Military Intelligence Bureau to the Japanese puppet regime.
Upon hearing this, Yan Shuo maintained his calm smile, patted Li Qun on the shoulder, and said, "You can arrange for someone to carefully screen them. Although I am just a businessman, I only look at ability when hiring people, regardless of their past. If you find anyone with problems, I will fire them immediately without any leniency."
Li Qun was very satisfied with this statement. When he left, Yan Shuo gave him about twenty packs of medium-sized Ziyun cigarettes, all with filters, with a total market value of more than 160 silver dollars. Li Qun accepted them with a smile and left happily.
Just after seeing Li Qun off, Yan Shuo was about to return to the third floor when his gaze inadvertently swept across the restaurant entrance. He saw a car slowly driving by, followed by a Japanese army tricycle with three Japanese soldiers on it, but no machine guns were being used.
A knowing glint flashed in Yan Shuo's eyes as he thought to himself: It seems that someone is trying to take advantage of me again.
Instead of turning away, he stood at the restaurant entrance, calmly watching the people in the car slowly get out, wondering to himself: Who is it that's here to join in the fun again?
The car door opened, and Yan Shuo immediately recognized the first person to get off as an acquaintance: Major Takagi Takayuki, the deputy head of the Japanese Army's Cultural Review Section in Shanghai.
Immediately afterwards, another person stepped out of the car. He was a Japanese lieutenant general in his fifties, dressed in a crisp Japanese military uniform, with a dignified expression and an imposing presence.
Yan Shuo understood perfectly well that Takagi Takayuki, ever since Yamaguchi Ami, an artist from Yan Shuo's company, joined him, had been constantly asking Yan Shuo for money and good wine under various pretexts. He also frequently interfered in the entertainment company's business, whether it was making movies or releasing records, he would always get involved and take a share of the profits, taking a considerable amount of money from Yan Shuo every month.
It is precisely because of this that a subtle relationship of "money makes them inseparable" has formed between the two, and Takagi Takayuki will often do Yan Shuoxing some favors.
