"Just before Major Sugawara’s birthday banquet was to start, He Tiantian had already received an opportunity to travel on assignnt."
"Sugawara, next week there’s an important conference in Jinling. I’ve heard that a noble from our country will be attending. You go and cover it," soone said.
It was nearly noon when He Tiantian leisurely made her way to the office.
When the departnt head saw her, instead of scolding or criticizing her, he was very polite and assigned her a task.
"Go to Jinling?" He Tiantian was sowhat surprised.
However, upon further reflection, she could understand why; this body was officially a reporter for the "X Daily News."
Even though she spent her days dangling around the Shadow Organization, she still sent so photos to the newspaper every month or wrote articles promoting the "East Asia Prosperity."
If there was an important conference or negotiation, they still needed journalists to sing praises about it.
He Tiantian also found related records in the original host’s mory. When Mr. Wang was eting with the Pseudo Governnt in Jinling last year, the original host had gone there to cover it.
This ti, there was probably so big movent in the Pseudo Governnt again, which is why the departnt head was dispatching "Sugawara Kosuke," a Japanese journalist, to go on assignnt.
"...Jinling, huh? It’s quite far, and I’ve not been feeling well lately—" He Tiantian began to express her reluctance while covertly gesturing the money-twirling motion with her hand.
Departnt head: ...Such a money-grubber!
Clearing his throat and suppressing the disdain in his heart, the head chuckled and said, "Don’t worry, you’ll get double overti pay, and all travel expenses will be reimbursed. Plus, there’s a bonus!"
Go on, there’s plenty of money!
"All right then, as a journalist, I should be at the forefront!"
Only when assured of the financial compensation did He Tiantian take on a righteous and strict deanor, not forgetting to boast about herself.
Departnt head: ...
Regardless of what curses he was muttering in his heart, the departnt head handed over the details of the conference ti and location to He Tiantian.
He Tiantian didn’t delay and imdiately scurried ho.
"Annie, I’m going on a business trip to Jinling!"
"I heard a Japanese noble is coming to Jinling to negotiate with that Mr. Wang, and I’m going to take so photos."
"...It’s just a week back and forth. You’ll be alone at ho with the child; you have to be careful."
"Although Lv Yaohua has been behaving lately, we still have to be cautious of him doing sothing sneaky behind the scenes. People like him are bullies who fear the brave and are opportunists."
"But don’t worry; even if he tries to cause trouble, you should turn to my uncle for matters related to the Shadow Organization, and for the Constitutional Army, seek out Miyamoto Jiro."
"As for the neighborhood, there’s no need for concern. Chief Ma of the public concession and Zhao Liu of the Green Gang, they’re both my people!"
While holding the child, He Tiantian watched Qu Anni pack her luggage and kept rambling on.
It had been almost a month since she arrived in this world, and relying on Sugawara Kosuke’s identity, she had made so connections.
Black and white, devils and foreigners; although all relationships were entangled in interests.
But as long as the identity of Sugawara Kosuke didn’t fall and Qu Anni wasn’t definitively proven to be part of the Red Party, going to those people would always result in so help.
"Also, the combination to the safe in the study is our son’s birthday. If you encounter any issues and urgently need money, just help yourself!"
He Tiantian said generously, "We are a couple; my money is your money!"
Qu Anni silently noted all the relationships He Tiantian ntioned.
Her heart ward in waves.
Her husband was only leaving for a few days, but he had everything arranged perfectly.
Qu Anni was a strong woman, but no matter how resilient, she too yearned for care and love from her family.
Her husband’s constant babbling stirred warmth in her heart once again.
Especially the last sentence, Qu Anni felt incredibly comforted.
No one knew better than she did just how greedy and stingy her husband could be.
Even though they frequently struck it rich lately, her husband remained stingy with himself.
Yet he scrimped and saved gold bars for her to "give to charity."
Sotis, handing over the money given by her husband to the organization made Qu Anni feel inexplicably guilty.
As a Red Party warrior, she was willing to sacrifice everything for her beliefs: wealth and even her own life.
But her husband wasn’t a Red Party mber.
He was just an ordinary person from Hua Country of that era: diligently making money (by extorting traitors), not seeking great wealth (the gold bars and US Dollars filling the safe), only wishing for a simple life with a warm bed for his wife and child.
Uh, sothing odd has slipped in there!
Qu Anni shook her head vigorously, hastily discarding the random thoughts cluttering her mind.
