Time Travel: Female Cannon Fodder of the Republic of China

Simple people who do impolite things can also make others feel uncomfortable.

Mrs. Lin might have noticed something and pulled the hem of Du Wanqing's skirt. Du Wanqing immediately looked away and looked at Ai Shutong.

"I heard that Miss Ai is studying at St. John's University. She is truly a role model for our generation."

Ai Shutong was in no mood to beat around the bush with her, so she asked, "Miss Du, what's the matter with you coming here today?"

Du Wanqing quietly glanced at Mrs. Lin next to her.

Mrs. Lin said softly, "Miss Ai, do you remember that Wanqing gave you the address of the Dahua Hotel on the train a few years ago?"

Ai Shutong nodded generously and admitted, "I remember!"

Mrs. Lin continued, "To be honest, the Dahua Hotel was opened by Wanqing's father. It was recently closed down because it offended Baron Henry."

"Boss Du wants to apologize to the Baron, but he doesn't know how to do it. He wants to ask Miss Ai for help."

Ai Shutong smiled and said, "If you had come to me a few days ago, this wouldn't be a big deal."

"But during this period, many people called me a traitor and a running dog. I was afraid that if I walked out on the street, people would throw rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs at me."

"So I have never dared to go out. I can't help you with this matter. Please ask Miss Tu and Mrs. Lin to find someone else."

Mrs. Lin hesitated and said, "This..."

Du Wanqing spoke up at this time, "It's easy. Just clarify in the newspaper that you are not a traitor and you will dare to go out, right?"

Ai Shutong smiled at Du Wanqing who was giving the idea, "Then I'll have to trouble Miss Du. If Miss Du can help me restore my reputation, I'm willing to be the middleman."

After the two left, Ai Shutong immediately called Shen Jiaxing and told him that Du Wanqing had come.

Shen Jiaxing has also found out a lot about Du Rixiao's interpersonal relationships in the past few days.

"Du Rixiao is a big shot of the Cao Gang, the boss of the five docks in Dapu, and has a good relationship with Inspector Huang of the French Concession Police Department. He is considered to be a man who has connections with both the black and white worlds."

"Fortunately, the Majestic Hotel is in the International Settlement. If it was in the French Concession, we might not have been able to leave the house that day!"

"Also..."

Ai Shutong took a deep breath and said, "Tell me! What else?"

Shen Jiaxing: "Inspector Huang of the French Concession Police Department is Huang Lanying's uncle."

Ai Shutong: “…”

"Does he not care about the trouble his niece caused?"

Shen Jiaxing: "Maybe it was Inspector Huang who instructed Boss Du's daughter to come to our house this time."

"Boss Du is the best at judging the situation and networking."

"He has many properties in the International Settlement. There is no need to offend the British aristocracy."

Ai Shutong: "I understand. Let's see how the situation develops first."

Shen Jiaxing: "Okay, keep in touch anytime."

The next morning, Ai Shutong read in the newspaper that Dahua Hotel had apologized to the person involved in the chopstick incident.

The above describes in detail and exaggeration the arrogance and domineering behavior of Indian waiters at that time, and how the customers were deeply humiliated by them.

The customer called the police just to protect his own rights and interests, and there was nothing wrong with that.

The directors of Dahua Company have voted to fire the Indian waiter, giving him the punishment he deserves.

Hereby, the board of directors of Dahua Company apologizes to the six customers.

He also stated that the hotel waiters' service awareness would be improved through training, and such incidents would never be allowed to happen again.

Finally, we ask everyone to stop disturbing the six innocent customers.

That night, Ai Shutong received a call from Du Wanqing.

Ai Shutong agreed to help and told Du Wanqing that she would try her best to help them get Baron Henry out.

She will be notified once the specific time and place are determined.

After hearing this, Du Wanqing hurriedly thanked him.

Ai Shutong felt relieved and went to No. 23 Nanjing Road the next day. The dirty and messy teahouse had been completely transformed.

The signboard was also changed to 'Nichang Clothing Store'.

Ai Shutong walked in and saw Zheng Qiuying and Luo Cisui packing their things in the hall.

Luo Cihui saw someone coming in from the corner of her eyes, looked up and saw it was her, she laughed happily, "Oh! Manager Ai finally showed up."

Zheng Qiuying turned around and smiled, "Have you solved that problem?"

Ai Shutong stepped forward and helped them to arrange the fabrics, "It's almost done!"

Zheng Qiuying: "Then is it time to open our clothing store?"

Ai Shutong nodded and asked, "Has Aunt Xu come today? How much of the drawings we gave her has she completed?"

A month ago, Ai Shutong combined clothing styles from pictorials and department stores, drew twenty fashion design drawings, and handed them to Luo Cihui.

After discussing it, they decided to have Zheng Qiuying and Luo Cihui make the pattern, and then hire two experienced tailors to sew it.

Xu Ma was the tailor they hired.

Luo Cihui sighed, "Here she is, cutting clothes in the inner room!"

"It's too slow for Xu Ma to do it alone. She has only completed half of it. It seems that we need to recruit two more experienced people."

Ai Shutong: "Let's hire another one! After the business opens, we'll see how things go and decide whether to hire another one."

"I want to go to Lilac Garden to look for Madam Ina. I heard from Mrs. Haas that she is the trendsetter of Shanghai."

"I want her to introduce me to a clothing supplier."

"Our store has two floors with a total area of ​​more than 200 square meters. With such a large space, we can sell both pre-made and custom-made clothing."

Zheng Qiuying clapped her hands in agreement, "In the past few days since you came, I was thinking that such a big store would look too empty if it only displayed twenty pieces of homemade clothes."

"Now we can fill those spaces with ready-made clothes."

Ai Shutong couldn't help but laugh when she was recognized.

When she returned home in the evening, Ai Shutong put down her bag and prepared to knock on Li Zhong's door.

At this time, Xia Yu called her, "Miss, are you going out again?"

Ai Shutong: "Go call Ina."

Xia Yu said mysteriously: "Li Rong is back!"

Ai Shutong raised her eyebrows and looked at her. Seeing that the young lady was interested, Xia Yu continued, "She came back this afternoon. Her clothes were torn and dirty. She was as thin as a pole and didn't look very energetic."

"When I first saw it, I was shocked. I thought it was a beggar sneaking in!"

Ai Shutong: "Did Aunt Li come back with us?"

Xia Yu shook his head, "He's the only one."

Ai Shutong nodded, hesitated for a moment, and decided to make the call.

She wanted to visit Lilac Garden tomorrow, but if she didn't say hello in advance, Ina might not be at home.

At this time, she suddenly had the idea of ​​installing a phone for herself. Although it would increase her expenses, it would not only be more convenient for her but also more private.

When Ai Shutong saw Li Rong, she felt that he had changed a lot. If Xia Yu hadn't given her a heads-up in advance, she might not have been able to recognize him.

Not only did he become darker and thinner, but his eyes also lost their former brightness and became lifeless.
