Time Travel: Female Cannon Fodder of the Republic of China

Bai Guo gently stroked his chest with his shaking hands, "Miss, why are you breathing so hard when you talk? You almost scared me to death."

Ai Shutong: "I was almost scared to death. Let me ask you, are there any maids or servants buried with the old woman in her tomb?"

Bai Guo: "I think so. Aunt Du drugged Sister Haitang and the others. I don't know how Aunt Du dealt with them."

"But from what Madam Du said, she is ready to be buried alive with the old lady."

"Bang——" Baiguo was frightened.

Ai Shutong slammed the steering wheel fiercely. "That old hag is so vicious. It's a different era now, and she still treats people as her own property."

Seeing that Ai Shutong was so angry, Baiguo guessed that this trip might not have been smooth and wondered if she had found the treasure.

He opened his mouth slightly, then closed it again.

Baiguo wanted to ask but didn't dare to.

When we returned to the Beijing Hotel in the city, it was already dawn.

Ai Shutong ignored Bai Guo behind her, walked in and went straight back to the master bedroom.

After finishing breakfast, Shen Jiaxing knocked on the door of room 308.

Seeing that no one came to open it, he hesitated and tried knocking a few more times.

After a while, the sound of shoes hitting the ground was heard in the room.

"Click——"

After the door opened, Bai Guo saw Professor Shen and quickly made an excuse, "The young lady didn't sleep well last night and said she wanted to catch up on some sleep."

Shen Jiaxing nodded, "Then I won't bother you anymore."

Shen Jiaxing took a few steps and turned around to look at Room 308 who had closed the door in confusion.

Shutong has always been diligent. Even if she didn't sleep well, she usually wouldn't be up past eight in the morning, unless...

Unless something occupied her energy, she would only take half a nap in the morning.

It has to be said that Shen Jiaxing knows Ai Shutong well enough.

But even so, he could not have guessed that Ai Shutong single-handedly robbed the tomb of the old lady of the Jin family in just one night!

Even if someone told him the truth, he would not believe it. Instead, he would think the other person was talking nonsense.

He walked slowly to Room 407, knocked on the door twice, and Xiao Cui opened the door for him.

"Brother, where are we going to play today?"

Shen Jiaxing adjusted his tie and said, "I came here specially to tell you that I don't have time to take you out today. I have some personal matters to take care of."

"You can rest in the hotel for a day or walk around the surrounding area."

Shen Jialing asked curiously: "What private matter?"

Shen Jiaxing knocked her head with his hand, "Private matter means that it is my own business and has nothing to do with you, so stop asking!"

At nine o'clock in the morning, Shen Jiaxing drove Allen's Pontiac to the Redux Company.

After passing through the revolving door and entering the lobby, a handsome young man in a suit and tie immediately came up to me and asked, "Sir, how can I help you?"

Shen Jiaxing nodded at him, "I'm looking for Allen."

Just as he finished speaking, Allen's secretary Ryan came over and bowed respectfully, "Director Shen, the general manager is already waiting for you in the office on the second floor."

He spoke fluent Chinese and won Shen Jiaxing's admiring look.

He nodded to Ryan, "Then I'll go up to find him, you guys go ahead and do your work! No need to call me!"

The sound of "knock knock knock" coming up the stairs was heard.

The handsome young man Shen Li couldn't help but ask: "Assistant Ryan, who is this? I have never seen him before."

Ryan taught him carefully, "This is one of the directors of our company. His Chinese name is Shen Jiaxing and his English name is Daniel."

"You have to remember his face. Next time you come, be respectful. If he says a few good words for you to the general manager, you will be promoted and get a raise in no time."

Shen Li quickly nodded and thanked him, "Thank you for your guidance, Assistant Ryan."

Shen Jiaxing knocked twice on Allen's office and heard your people say, "Come in."

He smiled and pushed the door open.

Allen laughed and stood up, pretending to shake hands with Shen Jiaxing. "Oh! God! Director Shen is here to inspect my work. I still have a lot of fake accounts to prepare. I'm so nervous."

Hearing such inappropriate words, Shen Jiaxing shook off Alan's hand, sat down on the sofa unceremoniously, crossed his legs and ordered Alan, "Go make me some coffee. You have to serve me well today. If you don't, be careful that I will punish you severely!"

Alan put his hands on his hips and looked at him, "Ouch! You dare to order the general manager to make coffee? I don't think you want to leave this door alive!"

When Shen Jiaxing heard him say this, he immediately remembered the scene when Ai Shutong pulled out a gun on the train, and his expression immediately turned serious. "I read the report you sent me. Right now, the best business for foreign companies is arms and medicines."

"I think we can arrange two more ships to transport arms and medicines. What do you think?"

After hearing this, Allen also said seriously: "I would like to, but adding a ship requires funds. Where can I find so much money?"

Shen Jiaxing shook his legs calmly. When Alan saw his smug look, he knew he had an idea.

"Go ahead! I said I'd treat you to lunch at noon."

Shen Jiaxing: "My idea is not that cheap. I want two guns and a thousand rounds of ammunition."

Alan glared at him unhappily, "You are not without money, why don't you buy it yourself."

Shen Jiaxing said confidently: "I am the director of Dexter & Co., if I buy it myself and let others know, it will be so embarrassing!"

Allen snorted coldly, "You don't have to come out to buy it. Just give me two hundred dollars and I will place an order for you directly from the foreign company. I can also give you a preferential price. Do you want it?"

Shen Jiaxing looked up at the ceiling with a proud look on his face, "Yes, of course I will. But how I ask for it depends on whether you are short of funds."

Alan gritted his teeth and said, "You treat me to lunch at noon!"

Shen Jiaxing refused to back down. "No, I just treated you to steak two days ago, and it cost me a lot of money."

Alan was dissatisfied and shouted, "Did I eat it alone? Didn't you eat anything? And there's your sister! There are two of you in your family, and I only have one, so you should pay for it."

Shen Jiaxing: "As the general manager of Dexter, it is your duty to increase sales. If you want me to help you, you have to treat me to a meal and give me gifts!"

Allen was about to retort, but Shen Jiaxing raised his hand to stop him, "I will be back to Shanghai in two days. You don't have much time left. You have to think it through."

Alan looked at the scoundrel on the sofa with hatred and really wanted to strangle him to death, but he wanted the funds. What should he do?

If Ryan saw the general manager he admired and Director Shen, who always appeared to be steady and intelligent, arguing like children in the office, he would be shocked.

In the end, Alan had to sacrifice himself for the sake of funds.

He ate and drank with me, paid the bill, and gave me two Mauser pistols and a thousand rounds of ammunition.

When they wanted to discuss the matter of introducing funds, Shen Jiaxing got drunk...

Alan shook him hard twice, and seeing that his eyes were drooping from sleepiness, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and let his men send him back to the Beijing Hotel.

Ai Shutong, who stayed in the hotel, locked herself in the room except for eating time.
