Chapter 568 567 [Busy Mr. Zhou]

To be honest, Yu Peichen had a very good impression of Zhou Hexuan.

Zhou Hexuan was knowledgeable, handsome, and a well-known patriotic scholar, even foreigners praised him. Not only that, Zhou Hexuan also built many Hope Primary Schools out of his own pocket, supported college students to study abroad, and bought American corn to help the common people.

Anyone who can do any of these behaviors is enough to win the respect of the world.

What's more, Zhou Hexuan also sympathizes with the Communist Party and is willing to provide information to the Communist Party, which makes it easy for Yu Peichen to regard him as "one of his own."

But the problem now is that this "person of his own" lives in a luxurious garden house, and there are several aunts and concubines at home, which instantly destroyed the beautiful image that Yu Peichen had built in his heart.

At around 2:30 in the afternoon, Zhou Hexuan finished writing a plot of the novel and went downstairs to the reception room: "Miss Yu, I've been waiting for a long time."

"Mr. Zhou," Yu Peichen kept Nan Hanchen's instructions in mind, without showing any dissatisfaction, and said with a smile, "These are invitation letters sent to the newspaper office, and some letters from scholars."

Zhou Hexuan took it over, looked at it casually, and threw it away: "Miss Yu, all important letters are sent directly to my home. As for those sent to the newspaper office, they can basically be ignored. For example, the invitation letter just now, inviting me Joining a literary club in Suzhou, there is really no need for any reply."

Yu Peichen asked: "What about the letters from these scholars? One is from a professor at Guanghua University."

Zhou Hexuan opened the letter that Yu Peichen mentioned, and after reading it, he said with a smile: "The professor who popped up out of nowhere said that he wanted to discuss historical and academic issues with me. The views he stated in the letter are all from the second generation in Europe. I really don’t have any interest in talking to him about the clichés from thirty years ago. If I have that kind of leisure, I might as well write a novel with a few hundred words more. The letter from this person is not so much an academic discussion as an attempt to talk to me If you have a relationship, you can use my reply letter to bluff and deceive in the future."

"So that's the case." Yu Peichen was dubious.

Zhou Hexuan said: "Miss Yu, I am writing two novels at the same time. In addition to "Black Soil", there is also a "Legend of Galactic Heroes", which is serialized in a British magazine. And I have to write some critical articles, Contribute to "Fei Gong" and "Independent Review". So my time is precious, and those unnecessary letters, you can just watch and deal with them yourself."

Yu Peichen said worriedly: "I'm afraid that if I don't handle it well, it will delay Mr. Zhou's business."

Zhou Hexuan said: "Then you can come to me if you are not sure, and you can handle ordinary trivial matters by yourself."

"Okay." Yu Peichen said.

Zhou Hexuan took out a note and said, "You take this."

Yu Peichen opened the note and checked it carefully, and found that there were a few lines of English written on it, which was the contact address of someone in England. She asked puzzledly: "Mr. Zhou, whose contact information is this?"

"Ornis, the general manager of the British Royal Pharmaceutical Company," Zhou Hexuan said with a smile, "the sulfa drug is produced by this company."

Yu Peichen was overjoyed immediately: "Is it really a sulfa drug?"

Zhou Hexuan nodded and said, "The British Royal Pharmaceutical Company has just put into operation two new production lines, and the production of sulfonamide has been greatly increased, so it has decided to increase the shipments in Asia. If you need it, you can send someone to London to find Ornis directly. It is said that I introduced it, and you can get a long-term and stable supply of sulfonamides. As for the price of the drug, I can give you a little discount."

"Thank you, Mr. Zhou!" Yu Peichen suddenly felt that Zhou Hexuan was much more pleasing to the eye, and the bad impression he had had before was greatly changed.

Zhou Hexuan said: "Okay, there's nothing else to do today, you can go about your own business."

Yu Peichen asked: "Mr. Zhou, I'm your secretary. Am I only in charge of the newspaper's work? Do you need my help with your manuscripts, sending and receiving letters, and so on?"

"Cui Huifu, Ms. Cui, have you met her just now?" Zhou Hexuan smiled, "She is also doing the work of sorting out manuscripts and sending and receiving private letters, so there is no need to bother you. You can take care of the newspaper office." .”

These things used to be Liao Yaquan's work, but during Liao Yaquan's pregnancy, Cui Huifu took over. So Cui Huifu is not only the housekeeper, but also Zhou Hexuan's personal secretary. Her work efficiency is much higher than Liao Yaquan's.

Yu Peichen was a little disappointed when she heard that, because the newspaper office was full of trivial matters, and she couldn't get close to Zhou Hexuan at all times, which made it difficult for her to carry out the work assigned to her by the organization.

Yu Peichen asked again: "Can I come here often?"

"Of course no problem," Zhou Hexuan said with a smile, "You can communicate with Ms. Cui more, so that you can cooperate in your future work. She is very good at doing things, and you can learn from her, which is good for you."

Seeing that the two of them had finished their conversation, Cui Huipo came over with a telegram and said, "The telegraph office sent it just now. Please go to the Buddha Bathing Festival at Nanputuo Temple in Xiamen."

Zhou Hexuan was speechless: "What do a group of monks ask me to do? It's still as far away as Xiamen, so I won't go!"

Cui Huifu's expression was a little strange: "Master Hongyi and Lu Bicheng sent the telegram, and Lu Bicheng was still talking to you in the telegram."

No wonder Cui Huilou behaved unnaturally. She was as famous as Lu Bicheng back then, so there was naturally some rivalry between the two women.

Zhou Hexuan felt quite strange, Lu Bicheng should have practiced Buddhism in Europe. The last time he was fooled by Zhou Hexuan in the Netherlands, he actually returned to China, and it seems that he is still practicing with Li Shutong.

To be honest, Zhou Hexuan wanted to meet Li Shutong very much. Master Hongyi's "Outside the long pavilion, beside the ancient road" is very popular, and he can be regarded as a legendary figure in the Republic of China.

It's a pity that Xiamen is too far away. Zhou Hexuan didn't want to travel all the way to celebrate Buddha's birthday with the monks.

Cui Huilu asked, "How should I reply to the other party?"

Zhou Hexuan thought for a while and said, "I won't reply for the time being. I may go to the south in the near future. It's also possible to go to Xiamen by the way."

"Okay then." Cui Huifu said.

Zhou Hexuan picked up the newspaper on the coffee table, looked at the headlines of the international section, and then put it down helplessly.

Just yesterday, Eiji Amaba, Minister of Intelligence of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan, issued the famous "Amaha Statement". The content of the statement can be roughly summarized as follows: Japan is China's protectorate, Japan has the responsibility to protect China, and Japan also has the responsibility to maintain order in East Asia. If China unites with Western powers to put pressure on Japan, Japan will take severe measures; if the powers secretly help China fight Japan, even if it is financial and technical assistance, Japan will strongly oppose it.

In Zhou Hexuan's view, this statement revealed four important pieces of information.

First, the Japanese military has completely controlled the foreign affairs department, and the Japanese cabinet has become the mouthpiece of the military.

Second, this statement hides the "Greater East Asia Co-prosperity" policy. Japan not only intends to occupy the whole of China, but also sets its sights on the whole of East Asia.

Third, Japan is rejecting Western powers and wants to monopolize its special interests in China.

Fourth, Japan is in a very embarrassing situation diplomatically, and it has apparently collapsed with the European and American powers.

Zhou Hexuan said to Pei Chen: "You go back first, I want to write a review article on the 'Tianyu Statement'. Remember to come tomorrow morning to pick up the manuscript and ask Editor-in-Chief Wang to put this article in the next issue of "Fei Gong" magazine .”
