Lost and Spy

Dudley never imagined that as the head of the Busaizong family, he, who was extremely respectable, would actually borrow a loan shark!

But no matter what, since it has happened, what is there to complain about?
At least, he had gained the upper hand in the competition with Grayson.

Moreover, the position of vice chairman of the "United Relief Fund" was within his reach.

With this position, the situation of the Busaizong family can be quickly reversed.

What are tens of thousands of dollars?

After completing all the loan procedures, thirty thousand U.S. dollars was smoothly handed over to Dudley.

However, Dudley would never forget what the damned loan shark said as he left:

"Dear Mr. Dudley, please remember to repay the loan on time. I don't want anything unpleasant to happen."

asshole!

Since when did a loan shark dare to talk to me like this?

Dudley suppressed his anger and knew that he should focus on his business first.

With the 30,000 US dollars that he had raised with great difficulty, Dudley rushed to the Americans as soon as possible.

After waiting for almost an hour, Dudley finally met Colonel Charles.

"Ah, Mr. Dudley, it's great to see you here." Meng Shaoyuan said with a smile.

"Yes, Colonel, I am glad to see you here too." Dudley said politely, "I wish you good health forever."

"Thank you."

The two chatted for a while, and Dudley finally got to the point: "Colonel, I brought you the money."

"What money?" Meng Shaoyuan didn't seem to understand.

"Well, thirty thousand dollars."

"Oh, yes, thirty thousand dollars." Meng Shaoyuan seemed to have just realized: "See, if you hadn't reminded me, I would have almost forgotten about it."

Dudley was getting really anxious.

It doesn't matter if you forget, but this involves the future of the Busaizong family.

He coughed lightly and said, "The United Relief Fund is an important organization for all Manila residents. It will play a vital role in the reconstruction of Manila."

Meng Shaoyuan nodded solemnly: "Yes, I agree with you very much. This organization will play an extremely important role in Manila and even the entire Philippines. Ah, I almost forgot my promise."

As he said this, he stood up and walked to his desk, took out a piece of paper from the drawer, then turned back and handed it to Dudley.

Dudley's hands trembled slightly as he took it.

That was the appointment letter he had long awaited and paid a heavy price for:

Appoint Dudley Busaizong as Vice President of the Manila United Relief Fund!

His hands were trembling slightly.

Honestly speaking, he has been through so many things that he should have been able to remain calm in the face of both praise and criticism.

But this time it was completely different.

This is equivalent to allowing oneself to enter the core power circle of Manila in one step.

The benefits this will bring to the Busaizong family in the future are almost unlimited.

Dudley expressed his gratitude again and again.

After chatting for a while, Dudley stood up and said goodbye.

Looking at the man's back, Meng Shaoyuan showed a meaningful smile at the corner of his mouth.

Not long after Dudley left, a person appeared in Meng Shaoyuan's office.

Dudley's archenemy:
Grayson!
"Colonel, you look really good." Grayson smiled and took out a document from his bag: "This is a little gift I brought to you, 20% of the shares of the new Manila Commercial Building."

"You are so polite." Meng Shaoyuan smiled brightly.

Grayson was laughing too.

He knows these Americans too well.

No amount of compliments can compare to real benefits.

Show loyalty?
How can shares be practical?

"Among all the Filipinos in Manila, I admire you the most." Meng Shaoyuan put away the documents and even gave Grayson a cigarette.

Grayson was flattered. He took out his lighter and respectfully helped Meng Shaoyuan light it.

Meng Shaoyuan took a puff of cigarette and slowly blew out two smoke rings: "Just before, Dudley came here, and I appointed him as vice chairman."

Grayson was not surprised, and he didn't even look jealous. "Ah, it looks like he has collected the $30,000. According to the agreement, it is only natural that he gets the position."

"Yes, as it should be." Meng Shaoyuan said calmly, "However, after the war, Manila has a lot of work to do and the workload is heavy. It is impossible to complete all the tasks with just a 'Joint Relief Foundation'. Therefore, after careful discussion, we decided to set up a new organization, the 'Manila American-Philippines Management Committee'."

Grayson smiled again, and meant it genuinely.

He listened to Meng Shaoyuan continue: "All semi-governmental and private institutions in Manila, as long as they are related to reconstruction, will work under the leadership of this committee. I will still serve as the chairman, but of course, I still cannot spare any energy. Therefore, I decided to appoint you as the vice chairman of this committee."

"I don't know how to express my gratitude." Grayson stood up and bowed deeply to Meng Shaoyuan: "What I can say is that no matter what happens in the future, I will always be yours!"

This is just a bureau.

Dudley spent a lot of money and finally got the vice chairman position he had always dreamed of.

However, the emergence of the "Manila US-Philippines Management Committee" made his position as vice chairman instantly worthless.

The Busaizong family will be dragged into an abyss of no return because of this decision!

This family will never have a chance to turn things around.

"I don't need any verbal statements." Meng Shaoyuan put out the half-smoked cigarette in his hand: "What I need is real work. I can support your family, and I can also give you what you dream of. But if I discover betrayal in the future, I think you know what will happen."

"The Busaizong family will be the best example." Grayson said without hesitation: "I will always remember this family and reflect on my responsibilities. I will also remember who has the final say in Manila and even in the entire Philippines."

"This is what I admire about you, my dear Mr. Grayson." Meng Shaoyuan stood up and said, "Go and do your thing. You know what I want and what I want to get. I don't want to be disappointed."

"Yes, Colonel, I swear that soon you will be able to see everything you want to see!" (End of this chapter)
