Time Travel: Female Cannon Fodder of the Republic of China

Ai Shutong ordered a black pepper steak, a vegetable salad, and a mushroom soup.

He Lina looked at her and smiled. "That's all? Are you trying to save me money? See what else you want to eat and order two more."

Ai Shutong: "Then I'll order some more fruit. If I order too much, it will be a waste if I can't finish it all."

Recently, maybe the little guy in her belly is pushing up her stomach, so she doesn’t eat much at each meal, but she has added two meals a day.

Seeing that she was reluctant to start, He Lina directly ordered grilled steak, grilled pork chops, fried eggs, toast, grilled sausages, etc.

When the dishes came, a large table was set.

After taking a few bites, He Lina got to the point, "Shutong, what do you think about what I told you last time?"

Ai Shutong looked up at her and said, "Some time ago, a couple came to me and were very interested in Fengda."

"That lady has been to a girls' school and is a modern person. She agrees with the idea of ​​emancipating women and has promised to keep the treatment of female workers the same. I want to talk to her further!"

He Lina frowned and asked, "How come it happened to be you? Don't be fooled!"

Ai Shutong smiled and said, "I told her that I had found a buyer, and she said she was willing to compete fairly."

He Lina put down her knife and fork and said seriously, "Shutong, I've always known that you are a person with high ideological awareness. Since you want to do something for the female workers, selling it to me is the best choice."

"Think about it, I am the Minister of Women's Affairs, serving women, but this is my job."

"Besides, we have known each other for such a long time. You know my character. Selling it to me is safer and less troublesome than for you to find a buyer outside."

Ai Shutong nodded: "I said the same thing to him, but he was very considerate of me. He thought I only sacrificed for others and felt very sorry for me. We are like soulmates."

He Lina: "It seems that you have a good impression of her. You can make an appointment when you have time. Let's meet and make her your friend."

Ai Shutong: "Okay!"

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, they went to Nishang again. Ai Shutong personally picked out two sets of clothes for He Lina. After seeing her off, she returned to Fengda.

It was sunny on March 9.

"Tuk-tuk-tuk-"

There was a knock on Ai Shutong's office door. She thought it was Hu Ying, so she said without even looking up, "Come in."

"Tap-tap-tap-"

The footsteps stopped in front of the desk.

Ai Shutong didn't hear the voice, so she looked up and asked, "What's wrong?"

But what I didn't expect to see was Zheng Mili.

Ai Shutong frowned subconsciously, "What's the matter?"

Zheng Mili bowed to her first, and then said: "Chairman, I came here to rescue Zhang Yongquan, please help me."

After a pause, he continued, "Whatever you want to know, just ask me. I will tell you everything I know."

Ai Shutong threw the magazine aside and said, "It's been so long, I thought you guys had rescued Zhang Yongquan!"

"What? He hasn't been rescued for such a long time. Aren't you afraid that he will die in prison?"

Zheng Mili had a look on her face that looked like she was laughing and crying. "I'm sorry, Chairman. We Republicans have been persecuted by the Democrats, and many of our compatriots have died."

"It's not that we don't trust you, it's that we're afraid that more brothers and sisters will be killed."

Ai Shutong: "Then how can you tell me?"

"Have you received approval from the higher-ups?"

Zheng Mili nodded slightly and whispered "Yes."

Ai Shutong rolled her eyes and had no intention of getting entangled with her. She asked directly, "Tell me how Zhang Yongquan was arrested. Did you pay to redeem him?"

Zheng Mili said quickly: "Zhang Yongquan was in the French Concession and was arrested by the police there."

"Before, the government's patrol officers and military police were not allowed to enter the French Concession to arrest people, so we let down our guard."

"We set up several contact points in the French Concession without much cover-up."

"One day, the police suddenly broke into the contact point and arrested many of us."

"At that time, important information about the Republican Party was found on Zhang Yongquan, and he was directly taken to the police station."

"The police department set up by the Democratic Party in Shanghai was trying its best to arrest Republicans. Our people offered money to redeem us, but not only did they not release us, they also detained us."

Ai Shutong: "Oh? Do you need me to rescue the detained people?"

Zheng Mili quickly said, "No need, he's already out."

"He pretended to be Zhang Yongquan's cousin and later found someone to mediate, saying that he had no knowledge of Zhang Yongquan's joining the party. He also paid a fine and was released."

Ai Shutong nodded: "I see, it means that Zhang Yongquan is a Republican, the evidence is irrefutable!"

"I can't just go to the police station to save people, right? You've also learned from previous experience, and it would be useless if you went."

"I have to find a connection to get close to Zhang Yongquan."

Ai Shutong touched her chin and thought for a while, then looked up and said, "You go back first, and I'll let you know when I've thought it through."

A few days later, Ai Shutong called Zheng Mili to the office and took out a contract for her to sign.

Zheng Mili was shocked when she saw it. "Chairman, this is 10% of Fengda's shares. You want to give it to me?"

Ai Shutong shook her head. "I thought about it. I can't rely on Zhang Yongquan. Why not let you have a relationship with him? How old is he?"

Zheng Mili: "In his twenties?!"

Ai Shutong sighed helplessly, "You don't know? Then have you seen him?"

This time Zheng Mili nodded confidently, "Yes, he looks like he's in his twenties."

Ai Shutong: "Okay, just be his fiancée!"

"In order to save your husband, you are willing to offer 10% of Fengda's shares. How about that? I think He Lina and Tang E will definitely be interested."

Zheng Mili's eyes instantly turned red.

Ai Shutong asked in confusion: "What's wrong? No? Do you have a man you like?"

Zheng Mili shook her head violently, "No, I was just too moved. I didn't expect the chairman to make such a great sacrifice to save our friend."

Ai Shutong coughed twice uncomfortably, "Cough-cough-"

"Fengda owns the most advanced flour milling machine. It is now a big piece of fat meat. Everyone wants to take a bite."

“But because I’m a female worker in the factory, my choices are limited, and I didn’t think about how much I could sell it for.”

"Don't even mention 10% of the shares. If the buyer is sincere enough, I can even give up half of the shares!"

Zheng Mili couldn't hold back her tears any longer, and they fell down.

Ai Shutong looked at the girl who was showing her emotions and laughed, "Hey! You are not suitable to be an underground party member. With your level, you will only be arrested in the future, and you may even lose your life."

Zheng Mili wiped his face fiercely with his sleeve and said righteously: "As long as I can save my compatriots from suffering, I am willing to sacrifice my life."

Ai Shutong felt that she couldn't do what she did, so she stopped talking and handed her a pen.
