Time Travel: Female Cannon Fodder of the Republic of China

After Zheng Mili signed, Ai Shutong gave her two copies of the contract and left her one. "Take this one with you. Don't forget to take it with you when I take you to meet someone."

Zheng Mili nodded solemnly and asked, "Chairman, when will you take me to meet the person?"

Ai Shutong put the contract in her hand into a pink bag and said loudly, "Wait a minute, I'll call and ask."

After saying that, he walked back to the office phone, picked up the phone and dialed.

I made three consecutive calls before I found He Lina.

"Sister Lina, you are so busy! I just called Shenhua's office and your home, but you were not there, so I called the Women's Department."

He Lina laughed, "Oh! I finally let you find me this time. Now you know how difficult it was for me to find you before!"

Ai Shutong: "I knew about this a long time ago, but there's nothing I can do! There are too many things to do, so I have to run around everywhere. Why did you go to the Women's Department? Did something big happen again?!"

He Lina sighed and said, "My husband is the deputy minister of finance of the military government and the acting minister. He called me a few days ago and said that the Northern Expedition Army was short of funds and asked me to help raise funds. I have been so busy these days that I have no time to eat."

Ai Shutong said quickly: "Oh my! This is a big deal. I'm really not looking for you at the right time. Sorry to bother you. Go ahead and do your work."

He Lina's hearty laughter came again, "It's okay! Shutong, if you have anything to say, just tell me. I won't be in a hurry."

Ai Shutong said briefly: "I want to talk to you about the sale of Fengda Flour Mill!"

The other side suddenly became quiet. Ai Shutong was not in a hurry and just held the microphone silently.

Sure enough, after a while, He Lina's voice came again, "This is a big deal! Are you at Fengda Flour Mill? I'll come find you."

Ai Shutong: "Yes, yes. You are so busy, it is unreasonable to waste your time. How about I go to the Women's Department to find you?"

He Lina was more than happy to do so. The Women's Department was her territory. If they were to negotiate, she would have a natural geographical advantage here. "Great! It's a good opportunity to try the food in our cafeteria. Come quickly. I'll be waiting for you!"

Ai Shutong agreed immediately, "Okay! I'll be there right away."

After hanging up the phone, Ai Shutong said to Zheng Mili who was waiting in the office, "Find a bag and put the contract in it. Don't let anyone see it. Let's go to the Women's Department to meet He Lina."

Zheng Mili nodded hurriedly, turned around and ran out.

Ai Shutong called her, "Wait a minute!"

Seeing Zheng Mili turned around, he instructed again: "When we get there, I won't signal you to speak. Don't speak on your own initiative. I will do the talking. Do you understand?"

Zheng Mili nodded, "I understand, Chairman."

Twenty minutes later, Ai Shutong set off with Hu Ying, Vasily and Zheng Mili.

The white Ford stopped at No. 158 Fuzhou Road. Vasily got out of the driver's seat first, turned around, bent down, and opened the back door. "Miss, please get out of the car."

Ai Shutong walked down in a beige dress and looked up at the three-story building in front of her.

When the three of them gathered behind her, she said without turning her head, "Let's go!"

As soon as I entered the hall, I saw He Lina, Tang E and a bald man in his forties.

He Lina was facing the gate. As soon as Ai Shutong entered, she saw her and waved to her with a smile, "Come on! Shutong!"

Ai Shutong walked over slowly, "Hello, Sister Lina! Hello, Director Tang! Who is this...?"

Tang Lina smiled and said, "Come, let me introduce you. This is Mr. Huang Furen, the head of the Huang family on Dongtai Road."

"Mr. Huang, this is Ms. Ai Shutong, the owner of the famous Fengda Machinery Flour Mill."

Ai Shutong was surprised. Isn't the Huang family on Dongtai Road the Huang Lanying family? !

She controlled her expression and looked at Huang Furen calmly. Although she had been to his house twice, she had never met this wealthy businessman from Zhejiang.

"I've heard a lot about you, Ms. Ai, hello."

Huang Furen was the first to greet.

Ai Shutong quickly reached out her hand and shook his. "Hello, Mr. Huang. I have heard of your name for a long time. You are our senior in business."

She didn't know this person, and didn't know whether he knew about her relationship with Shen Jiaxing.

Although the engagement between the Shen and Huang families no longer existed and he didn't need to take it to heart, the two families were unhappy at the time and he had a hand in it, so he was afraid that Huang Furen would hate him after he found out.

Looking at his smiling face, it seems that he doesn't know, but after several years of experience, Ai Shutong has not let down her guard. She has seen many people who say one thing in front of others and another behind their backs, and she cannot make a conclusion based on appearances.

After a few greetings, Huang Furen left.

Ai Shutong pretended to be curious and asked, "Sister Lina, Mr. Huang Furen is not a woman, what is he doing here?"

As He Lina led everyone to the office, she replied, "This person is here to help us in times of need."

Ai Shutong: "What do you mean?"

He Lina: "Didn't I tell you on the phone? Liao Zhengkai found me a big job and asked me to raise funds for the Northern Expedition. When Inspector Huang of the French Concession found out, he helped me contact Mr. Huang Furen to help me out of my urgent need."

Ai Shutong nodded in understanding. "I know that Inspector Huang has a brother who is in business and is very rich. It seems that he is Mr. Huang Furen."

Although I have known for a long time that Inspector Huang is Huang Lanying's uncle, sometimes I have to pretend to be stupid to get more information.

He Lina opened the office door and invited everyone in, continuing to chat with Ai Shutong.

"Yes! The Huang family has developed very well in the past few years. Not only has Inspector Huang been promoted, but Huang Furen's daughter has also married a detective. His family has considerable influence in the French Concession, and their business is getting bigger and bigger. The Xinxin Department Store was opened by his family."

"It's no exaggeration to say that he is making a fortune. He just promised to donate 200,000 dollars to us."

He Lina turned to Tang E and said, "Tang E, go and make another pot of tea."

There are not many people who dare to order this Shanghai upstart around like this now, and He Lina happens to be one of them.

Perhaps because he became the director of the police department, Tang E looked much more stable and his temper improved a lot than before.

"Okay, Sister Lina, you guys sit down and talk, I'll be back soon."

After Tang E left, He Lina changed the subject and said to Ai Shutong, "Shutong, you have always been very conscious. Now that Huang Furen has taken out 200,000 yuan, don't you want to show your appreciation?"

Ai Shutong felt like a fat sheep that had come to the door on its own initiative, and the wolf He Lina was salivating and waiting to bite her.

"Sister Lina, you really understand me. Am I not here to give you a benefit today?!"

He Lina raised her eyebrows and looked at her: "Oh? Is there such a good thing?"
