Yuan Ye quickly went to Hengyuan Grocery Store and met Gu Yan. He told Gu Yan about how No. 76 threatened the newspaper and killed patriotic journalists, and expressed his thoughts.

Gu Yan naturally expressed his support, and Yuan Ye quickly wrote a warning letter, the gist of which was that if patriotic journalists were killed by Agent No. 76, blood should be repaid with blood.

He asked Gu Yan to send the warning letters to the Japanese puppet newspapers and No. 76 in the afternoon. He estimated that these people would see it tomorrow.

In addition, he also instructed Gu Yan to collect information on the editors-in-chief of several Japanese puppet newspapers and well-known journalists, screen out targets for assassination, and let Yuan Ye arrange capable team members to track them secretly, but not to act rashly, just follow from a distance, and the action must be secretive and not be discovered.

After Yuan Ye made all the arrangements, he went to Yamozhai on Waibaidu Road to pick up the framed cursive calligraphy work of "Short Song". This was a gift from Iwai Yuichi, who was going to the banquet at No. 76 in the evening, to Ding Mocun.

Arriving at Yamozhai, Boss Li saw Yuan Ye and immediately said happily:

“Your things have been framed, and I have good news for you.

I framed the piece you painted yesterday evening and hung it on the wall this morning.

Guess what, someone bought it at noon."

"Oh, so fast? Do you know who bought it?"

Yuan Ye found it a little unbelievable. It was a bit too fast!

This was something he didn't expect. Are his works so easy to sell?

This gave him more confidence, and he thought that this must be the ability of a top calligrapher, and there would be no worries about not being able to sell his works.

Boss Li smiled and said:

"That person was a middle-aged man whom I didn't know. When he saw your work on the wall, he bought it immediately without bargaining and paid a thousand dollars without hesitation.

This shows that your calligraphy level is very high and has been recognized and liked by customers.

See if you can write one or two more works and put them here. I think they will sell quickly too.”

Boss Li earned 30% commission from Yuan Ye's calligraphy work, which was three hundred dollars. Naturally, he was unwilling to let go of this cash cow.

Yuan Ye has confidence that his calligraphy skills can be monetized, so why not do it?

He readily agreed to Boss Li's request and wrote two works in one breath, one in regular script and the other in cursive script.

After reading it, Boss Li was amazed again and felt full of confidence.

Yuan Ye took the money and the framed "Short Brother's Journey" and left Yamozhai. He went to Citibank again, opened an account in the bank, deposited 50,000 US dollars, and exchanged 50,000 French francs into US dollars.

Then he processed a draft of 50,000 US dollars, which he intended for his father Yuan Zhiqian to take to Hong Kong and withdraw at Citibank in Hong Kong as payment for business and their living expenses in Hong Kong.

After finishing these things, Yuan Ye looked at the time and found that the city government was about to get off work, so he rushed to the city government to pick up He Li to attend the dinner at 76 pm to welcome Ding Mocun to take office.

When Yuan Ye walked into the office of the First Secretary Department, it was just time to get off work.

All his colleagues had left, leaving only He Li and Chai Ruhai waiting for him.

He Li dressed up carefully, wearing a new, well-fitting red cheongsam. Her hair was tied up high, and she put a light powder on her face to make her skin look whiter. She put a light lipstick on her lips. She stood tall, beautiful and dignified.

When He Li saw Yuan Ye, she showed a surprised expression on her face and said:

"Shi Kai, you are finally here."

She always felt empty inside every day she didn't see Yuan Ye, and was looking forward to his appearance.

Yuan Ye nodded and smiled:

"I'm a bit busy today, so I came a little late. I guess I made you wait anxiously.

You look so beautiful today!"

He Li was very happy with Yuan Ye's praise. This was the effect she wanted to achieve. Her careful dressing was not in vain. What she was waiting for was Yuan Ye's admiring gaze. She didn't care about other people's appreciation and praise, which made her feel satisfied.

He Li said tenderly:

"Shi Kai, you are really good at talking."

Yuan Ye smiled and was about to speak when Chai Ruhai came out of the small office and said jokingly:

"Shi Kai, why didn't I realize you were so good at talking when we were in school? It turns out you were hiding it quite well!"

Yuan Ye curled his lips and said with a smile:

"It's not that I'm hiding it well, it's that you just don't pay attention to it at all. Your attention is all on the beauties in school."

Chai Ruhai pretended to be aggrieved and said:

"You are wrongly accusing me. I am a decent person. If I like to pay attention to beautiful women, why didn't I pay attention to the beautiful Secretary He in our office? Otherwise, how could you succeed?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he couldn't help laughing.

Yuan Ye knew that judging from the fact that Chai Ruhai tried so hard to get him and He Li together, a professional woman like He Li should not be Chai Ruhai's type, otherwise he would have made a move long ago. Of course, He Li should not be interested in Chai Ruhai either.

Yuan Ye laughed and said:

"It seems that I have wronged you. I apologize to you and I will treat you to a meal another day."

"That's more like it, remember, you owe me a meal.

Okay, enough joking, we should go, it’s not good to be late.”

The three of them walked out of the office chatting and laughing, went downstairs to the city government compound, got in the car and drove to No. 76 Jessfield Road.
