Siheyuan: Yi Zhonghai was chopped off with a knife, who in the courtyard would not obey

A train conductor used a loudspeaker to announce that the train bound for Guangzhou was about to arrive at the station, and passengers should collect their luggage and prepare to board.

Chen Jianye and others lined up one after another.

After boarding the train, everyone took out the dry food they had brought to eat.

Chen Jianye also took out white steamed buns and a can of pickled vegetables from his cloth bag.

Actually, he brought two kinds of steamed buns: one was made of white flour, and the other was made of brown sugar.

It was made by Ran Qiuye and You Fengxia.

Knowing that he was going to the port city, the two prepared some dry food and waited for him to set off.

Zhang Jungang, Cao Chai, and the other three ate quite well.

They are all employees of the Ministry of Foreign Trade, and their basic standard of living is quite good.

After finishing their meal, the group closed their eyes to rest.

The train journey takes 46 hours, and they will spend the next two days on the train.

The rest of the journey was rather dull, and Chen Jianye and the others chatted occasionally.

The train was crowded and noisy, and they were worried about leaking secrets, so they couldn't talk about work-related matters.

On the third day, Chen Jianye clearly felt the temperature rise and knew that Guangzhou was approaching.

Upon arriving in Guangzhou, the group transferred to another vehicle and headed to the Luohu Port.

After reviewing the documents at the border, the group boarded a ship bound for the port city.

With the sea breeze blowing, Chen Jianye gazed at the land receding into the distance, a smile appearing on his face.

Once he arrived in the port city, he had many more things to do.

His pretext for coming to the port city for research was, of course, to see how his three chosen underlings were doing.

First is Lei Luo.

When he left, Lei Luo was still an undercover policeman. After Mingyang Printing Factory obtained one-third of the agency rights for hot water, he made a fortune every day.

To become a police officer in Hong Kong, you have to bribe people; the more money you bribe, the faster you get promoted.

Lei Luo should be a senior police officer by now.

Next is Wu Shih-hao.

The greatest skill that allowed this person to succeed in Hong Kong was his loyalty and ability to make friends.

With the Li family providing him with money, Wu Shih-hao, if not soaring to great heights, would certainly be able to build his own team and dominate a small part of Hong Kong.

As for Li Jiacheng...

Chen Jianye trusted him the most and didn't have too many expectations, because doing business isn't something that can show results in three to five months.

Currently, the company's main profit driver is undoubtedly its agency for popular products. As for the development of Mingyang Printing Factory, although Chen Jianye gave Li Jiacheng some guidance before leaving, he did not believe that Li Jiacheng could make significant changes in just a few months.

Victoria Harbour gradually became clearer in Chen Jianye's eyes.

The port city is getting closer.

"Jianye, you can stay with me this time. Once we get to the Ministry of Foreign Trade building, we'll take care of the paperwork for you."

Zhang Jungang came over and spoke first.

"Jun Gang, this time I want to take matters into my own hands and go to the Ministry of Foreign Trade once in the morning and once in the evening to write reports."

Chen Jianye shared his thoughts.

"No, absolutely not."

Zhang Jungang's first thought was that it wouldn't work.

Chen Jianye came to Hong Kong through the Ministry of Foreign Trade. If something were to happen to him, the consequences would be unimaginable.

For example, if Chen Jianye is injured, who will take responsibility?

Or, if Chen Jianye is persuaded by local businessmen to stay in Hong Kong instead of returning to the mainland, then the Ministry of Foreign Trade will bear a heavy responsibility.

The biggest potential problem is that Chen Jianye was recruited to work for reactionary forces, develop products, and oppose domestic activities.

Therefore, in addition to ensuring Chen Jianye's livelihood, Zhang Jungang also had the responsibility of monitoring Chen Jianye.

Before Chen Jianye could speak to explain, Zhang Jungang continued, "Jianye, this is Hong Kong. Although nothing happened when you came here last time, it doesn't mean Hong Kong is safe."

“Every year we lose several people here. Some are killed, some are turned to defect, causing great losses to the country.”

“You are the deputy chief engineer and technical leader of the steel rolling mill. If something happens to you, no one can bear the consequences. Even Minister Ye will be punished.”

"Okay, I was too naive. I'll listen to you."

Chen Jianye did not refute.

He really had to consider the interests of Zhang Jungang and others.

“Jianye, I know what you’re thinking. You think things are alright here in Hong Kong, not as bad as the propaganda in China makes them out to be.”

“I want to tell you that you only see the good side of the port city. We are government employees and we deal with big businessmen who cooperate with the country. They are very polite to us because they are considering the country’s reputation.”

"If you're an ordinary person, life in Hong Kong is actually very difficult. The government is extremely corrupt, the police officers are all greedy and lustful, the businessmen are only interested in profit, and the people bully newcomers."

“I’m not hindering your freedom, I’m just genuinely worried that you’ll be scammed and something bad will happen to you.”

Zhang Jungang explained again, his words earnest.

"Comrade Jungang, I understand what you mean. Port City is not a paradise; it has its own problems."

"I will carry out my work while ensuring my safety."

Chen Jianye said seriously.

"Okay, that's the best way to think about it."

Zhang Jungang breathed a sigh of relief.

Upon arriving in the port city, Zhang Jungang led the way out and was the first to undergo inspection and verification at the border.

He and Cao Chai, among others, received 15-day work permits.

Chen Jianye received a 7-day work permit.

The documents he submitted to Gangcheng stated a stay of seven days, and the permit issued by the Luohu Port also indicated a seven-day stay in Gangcheng.

Upon arriving in Hong Kong, the border crossing granted him a stay of seven days, as it always had.

The five people arrived at the Ministry of Foreign Trade building.

To take care of Chen Jianye, Zhang Jungang specially chose the room where Chen Jianye had rested last time.

"It still feels familiar, like I went back to China for two days and came back."

Chen Jianye put down his luggage, sat on the bed, and said with a smile.

“We feel the same way. We’re always running back and forth between the port city and the mainland. A year passes by after a few trips.”

Zhang Jungang put down his luggage.

After a quick wash, the group went downstairs for dinner.

Finally, they were able to enjoy a hot, wok-fried meal, and Chen Jianye and the others ate with great relish.

After finishing his meal, Chen Jianye went upstairs to sleep.

It took 46 hours by train, 4 hours by transfer, 2 hours by boat, and then another transfer.

After several days of travel, there was hardly any rest.

When he woke up, it was already past four in the afternoon.

"Jianye, President Tan contacted me and wants to host a welcome dinner for us. Are you free tomorrow morning?"

Zhang Jungang asked.

"Let's go together when we have time."

Chen Jianye agreed.

After straightening his clothes, he said, "Comrade Jun Gang, I'm going out for a stroll. I'll be back around 8 p.m.

"Okay, be careful. If you need anything, you can find a local police officer and show them your ID."

Zhang Jungang gave a word of advice.

Chen Jianye went out and hailed a rickshaw to take him to Tsim Sha Tsui.

As they got closer to Mingyang Printing Factory, Chen Jianye couldn't help but feel excited.

This is his first property in the port city, his real property.

"Master, stop here."

"We're still about ten meters away from Mingyang Printing Factory," Chen Jianye called out in Cantonese.

The rickshaw driver stopped the rickshaw and grinned, "Boss, if you had told me you wanted to come to Mingyang Printing Factory, I would have brought it right over to you."

"Oh, is Mingyang Printing Factory very famous?"

Chen Jianye was somewhat surprised.

Judging from the way the rickshaw puller spoke, it seemed as if he already knew the address of Mingyang Printing Factory.
