In the editor-in-chief's office on the highest floor of the Xinmin Newspaper office building, Xu Chengyan stood upright, half-sit on his seat, and respectfully talked softly with the editor-in-chief Naohito Eguchi.

Ever since Naohito Eguchi learned about the relationship between Xu Chengyan and Yoshinoemon, he had paid special attention to this young Chinese man. Today he specially called Xu Chengyan to his office. His amiable attitude surprised Xu Chengyan.

Naohito Eguchi knew that Xu Chengyan's Japanese proficiency was extremely high, so he communicated in Japanese throughout the whole process. The result still surprised him. This young man spoke with a pure Kansai accent. When talking, he didn't feel any violation at all.

Where he was harmonious, his favorable impression of Xu Chengyan suddenly increased.

At this time, Naohito Eguchi stood up, took out a thick book from the bookshelf, walked closer, gently placed it in front of him, and introduced with a smile: "Shengyan-kun, I specially collected this, you can take it back

Take a good look."

"This is?"

Xu Chengyan quickly picked up the book with both hands. It was a Japanese book. On the cover, he saw the words "Comprehensive Survey of the North Country" written in large characters. Then he saw the author's name below, and he immediately looked at Naohito Eguchi in surprise.

"This is Mr. Yoshino's work!" Xu Chengyan looked surprised.

Eguchi Naohito smiled slightly. He knew that although Xu Chengyan was a student of Yoshinoemon, he was Chinese after all. He probably didn't understand the unknown side of Yoshinoemon, so he introduced it carefully: "Yes, it is Mr. Yoshino's work.

Published in the 9th year of the Showa era, this book was a masterpiece that Mr. Yoshino spent twenty years on field trips to China and collected extremely detailed information. It was almost half his life's effort and is very important to us in the world.

It is of great reference value and military value to further understand northern China before the war. It can be said that everyone working in northern China has read this book.

In view of its precious value, it is only published internally by us and cannot be seen by ordinary people. I also had a hard time getting this book. As a student of Mr. Yoshino, you should read it more."

When Xu Chengyan heard this, he quickly picked up the book and said gratefully: "Thank you so much. I will read it carefully. I feel ashamed to say that. As a student of the teacher, I don't know much about the teacher's past experience, so I can just pass it."

Please read this book carefully."

"Yes, that's what I mean!" Naohito Eguchi nodded with satisfaction, "Son Yan, I have already inquired about Mr. Yoshino's specific address through my friends in Peiping. News will come back soon, and I will also

I hope you teachers and students will reunite as soon as possible and it will be a good story."

Naturally, Xu Chengyan was well aware of the unusual enthusiasm shown by Eguchi Naohito. Coupled with the "Comprehensive Review of North Country" in front of him, he was almost certain that all this was to further build a closer relationship with Yoshinoemon.

relationship, this once again confirmed that my Japanese teacher must be a person with different identities and reactions.

Xu Chengyan nodded and saluted, and said respectfully: "Thank you for your kindness. Being able to have the opportunity to meet the teacher again is what I look forward to most. I have to trouble you with everything."

Eguchi Naohito laughed, waved his hands and said: "It's all a small effort, not worth mentioning. However, Chengyan-kun, if you have the opportunity to go to Peking to meet your teacher, please be sure to convey my respect to Mr. Yoshino for me."

"sure!"

Xu Chengyan naturally agreed, and then asked with some confusion: "Are you saying that Mr. Yoshino is in Peiping now?"

"Yes, as far as I know, Mr. Yoshino is currently in Peiping, responsible for supervising the administrative work of the new government. He has a heavy responsibility!"

Xu Chengyan was immediately surprised. Although he had guessed that Yoshinoemon's identity was indeed extraordinary, he was probably just a famous scholar or something like that.

But if, as Naohito Eguchi said, he is responsible for supervising the administrative affairs of the puppet government in North China, this position can definitely be regarded as a high-level government position.

Seeing Xu Chengyan's surprised expression, Naohito Eguchi was not surprised. He went on to explain: "Mr. Chengyan, you may not be aware of Mr. Yoshino's status in our Japanese academic community. Mr. Yoshino has worked hard and worked hard for decades, and has made great achievements.

, not only has a lofty status in the academic world and has many followers, but also has sufficient influence in the military. That’s why I want you to read more of Mr. Yoshino’s books, as well as several of his early works.

, I will also collect it for you as soon as possible. You should read it carefully and understand it, it will be of great benefit to you."

Eguchi Naohito did not hide his words from Xu Chengyan and directly told the situation. He knew that Xu Chengyan was also a smart man and should understand his intentions.

Xu Chengyan understood naturally and nodded quickly in agreement: "Thank you for your advice. I will go back and understand it carefully. If I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely repay your kindness. Please believe me!"

Seeing that Xu Chengyan was so sensible, Eguchi Naohito was extremely satisfied. The two chatted for a few more words, and then Xu Chengyan said goodbye and left.

After leaving the editor-in-chief's office, Xu Chengyan looked at the "Comprehensive Review of Northland" in his hand, looking forward to it. He could see that he would be able to gain a foothold in Xinmin Newspaper with the help of his teacher-student relationship with Yoshinoemon.

If there is a problem, you can even take it a step further, and your future work will be much easier.

He was in a good mood and walked down the stairs quickly, just in time to see Ji Yun exiting Tetsuo Takahashi's editor-in-chief's office.

Today is the time for Ji Yun to apply for a job at Xinmin Newspaper. In order to cover up his relationship with Xu Chengyan, Ji Yun deliberately postponed it for two days. However, looking at Ji Yun's expression at this time, he was afraid that this application would not go well.

Ji Yun also saw Xu Chengyan, but there were other staff members coming and going in the corridor at this time, and it was inconvenient for the two of them to talk. Ji Yun had no choice but to nod slightly to Xu Chengyan, and then the two of them passed by.

Xu Chengyan came to the door of Tetsuo Takahashi's office and knocked gently on the door. After getting a response, he pushed the door open, nodded slightly and said, "Sir!"

"Oh, Chengyan, you're here!" Tetsuo Takahashi looked up and saw Xu Chengyan coming in. He stood up and walked out from behind the desk, and made an invitation gesture, indicating that he could sit down on the sofa nearby.

The two people sat opposite each other and looked at the book in Xu Chengyan's hand. Tetsuo Takahashi nodded slightly and said with a smile: "Is this given to you by the editor-in-chief Eguchi?"

"Yes, it's all because of your support. The editor-in-chief took great care of me and specially gave me this book. It's written by Yoshino-sensei. I, a student, know nothing about it. I'm really ashamed!"

Seeing the sincerity on Xu Chengyan's face, Tetsuo Takahashi laughed, took the book in Xu Chengyan's hand and looked through it. He had always admired Yoshinoemon, so naturally he had read this book a long time ago. He put the book back on the desk and nodded.

Said: "This is also the kindness of the editor-in-chief. To be honest, I think the editor-in-chief Eguchi has also revealed some information to you. Currently, Yoshino-senpai has a transcendent status in the new government. If you can get his care, your future is limitless. As you

Friends and teachers, we are willing to help you."

"Of course I understand this!" Xu Chengyan quickly expressed his position, "As long as Chengyan can see the teacher, I will definitely convey my respect to you, but if you are driven, you will obey your orders!"

"Haha, that's serious! That's serious!" Tetsuo Takahashi's face was full of smiles. He didn't need a heavy hammer to play the drum. This young man understood everything.

Moreover, he was extremely satisfied with Xu Chengyan's special move to report to him about Eguchi Naohito's gift of a book. This clearly showed that in Xu Chengyan's mind, his status was different from that of Eguchi Naohito, and he did not hide anything from him.

If you don't hide it, the relationship will obviously go to a new level.

Although he had always had a good relationship with Eguchi Naohito, otherwise he would not have told Xu Chengyan that he was Yoshinoemon's student, but Xu Chengyan's actions still made him feel very comfortable, secretly thinking that he was not wrong about the person.

Thinking of this, he continued: "To be honest, I am optimistic about your talent, but the job of a reporter is not just about writing and knowledge, but more importantly, practice, and your ability to communicate with people.

You still need more experience in how to deal with people and things you encounter.

Now I have a very important job on my hands, you might as well give it a try."

"Please do as you please!" Xu Chengyan naturally agreed.

"That's right!" Tetsuo Takahashi coughed lightly and cleared his throat, "Currently, Nikko Club is organizing an important large-scale event. The purpose is to mobilize capable Chinese people to actively donate food to alleviate the increasing tension on our front.

of food supply.

Consultant Nakamura also attaches great importance to this and requires us, Xinmin Newspaper, to focus on publicity, follow up and report on the entire event, and make this event even bigger.

The editor-in-chief and I have discussed and planned to open a column on this event to specifically promote this food donation campaign. In the past, such important work was handled by Watanabe-kun. Now I think you can also participate and transfer

Mr. Bian will take you along to familiarize yourself with this type of work as soon as possible.

During this period, you can call on personnel from the Ministry of Current Affairs and the Ministry of Social Affairs at will and report the progress at any time. If you have any difficulties, you can just ask me and Editor-in-Chief Eguchi."

Food donation drive?

This immediately made Xu Chengyan secretly happy. He had just accepted the task of sabotaging the food donation campaign and was still worrying about how to get started. Now the opportunity was presented to him. He could participate in it legitimately, which was of great help in completing this task.

Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated and immediately nodded in agreement: "Please rest assured, although I am inexperienced, I will try my best and will never let you down!"

"Okay, you are brave enough to overcome difficulties. I believe in your ability!" Tetsuo Takahashi said with a smile, stroking his hands.

So he picked up the phone and informed chief reporter Kyousuke Watanabe to come to his office.

After a while, Watanabe Kyosuke knocked on the door and came in. Seeing that Xu Chengyan was there, he couldn't help but feel a little strange.

Tetsuo Takahashi smiled and introduced: "Watanabe-kun, this is Xu Chengyan, who has just joined the Ministry of Current Affairs. He will be your assistant for the report of this food donation campaign. You have rich experience. I need to teach you more about Chengyan."

Yan Jun, let him get familiar with the job as soon as possible."

Watanabe Kyousuke had met Xu Chengyan before, and he also knew that it was definitely abnormal for such a Chinese to suddenly appear in the critical department of the Ministry of Current Affairs. Although he had some guesses about Xu Chengyan's origins, as soon as he joined, he made himself personally

Come on, this is too unexpected.

At this time, Xu Chengyan had already stood up and bowed to Watanabe Kyousuke: "Please take care of me, Watanabe-kun!"
