When Xiao Yatong and Gao Jiu entered the door, they found that the ground was in chaos.

The ancestors of the Xiao family were wealthy families. During the Qing Dynasty, Xiao Yuanshan's grandfather passed the Jinshi and worked as a scholar in Shandong. The Xiao family was a real scholar-in-law. After the fall of the Qing Dynasty, Xiao Yuanshan's father embarked on the road of business. Xiao Yuanshan also went to Germany to study, and after returning, he inherited his father's family business.

Xiao Yuanshan is stubborn and smart and capable, and is a very well-educated person. Gao Jiu rarely saw him get angry before, but now he can make him angry like this, which shows how serious the Japanese are in oppressing him.

Xiao Yatong quickly stepped forward to comfort her father, and Gao Jiu asked the two servants who came to hear the news to go in and pack up the things on the ground.

Under Xiao Yatong's comfort, Xiao Yuanshan gradually calmed down. With Xiao Yatong's company, he sat on the sofa and talked with Gao Jiu.

Gao Jiu asked: "Master, please tell me the matter in detail. Maybe I can give you an idea."

Now that Gao Jiu has great magical powers, Xiao Yuanshan is worried. When he heard Gao Jiu say this, he told Gao Jiu about the incident.

It turned out that the Japanese wanted to continue to march south to achieve their goal of annexing the whole of China, and urgently needed to stabilize the rear. Jinan was one of the important industrial and commercial cities during the Republic of China period, and the development of industrial and commercial was a very important aspect of Jinan. The newly established pseudo-government had all been decided on personnel arrangements in other aspects, but in terms of industry and commerce, a person who could replace Xiao Yuanshan was not yet found.

The Japanese came to work on Xiao Yuanshan again and asked him to serve as deputy mayor in charge of industry and commerce in the pseudo-regime. Xiao Yuanshan once again expressed his refusal.

This time, the Japanese came prepared. They used various excuses to seize the two most important enterprises under Xiao Yuanshan's name and freeze a large amount of assets he had in Japan's Praise Bank.

That's not all, the Japanese threatened the lives of Xiao Yuanshan and his daughter. The Japanese gave Xiao Yuanshan ten days to consider, otherwise he would be responsible for the consequences.

Gao Jiu asked, "Master, what are your plans now?"

Xiao Yuanshan shook his head dejectedly and said, "I really don't know what to do. Now I am the president of the Chamber of Commerce of Japan Maintenance Association and have been called a traitor. If I serve as the deputy mayor of the pseudo-regime, the traitor's crime will probably not be washed away in this life. At that time, either dies from the Military Affairs Command Operation Team of the State Government or the anti-traitor team of the underground party.

If I don’t agree to the Japanese’s request, I will die faster and will implicate Yatong. Alas, I’m really desperate now, and I’m afraid I can only escape overseas.”

Gao Jiu said: "Master, I am frank, your current actions are under the surveillance of the Japanese, and you can't even leave even if you want to."

Xiao Yuanshan said, "I know this. Japanese people are monitoring wherever I go now. But I have no other way except this road."

Xiao Yuanshan was in a very bad mood and knew that it would be difficult for him to escape from Jinan City safely. Even if he escaped, more than 90% of his industries would be confiscated by the Japanese. He could only make a comeback overseas by relying on a small amount of savings in the Ome National Bank.

If you want to see the industry passed down by your ancestors, it will be destroyed soon. You can imagine Xiao Yuanshan's mood.

Xiao Yatong looked at Gao Jiu and said with hope: "Ajiu, what are you going to do in this situation now? Hurry up and come up with an idea."

Gao Jiushi sympathized with the situation of Xiao Yuanshan and his daughter. In the war-torn era, it was difficult for ordinary people to survive. If you had to do business in the occupied areas, it would be difficult to maintain unless you devote yourself to the Japanese.

Gao Jiu knew the historical process, and Xiao Yuanshan's situation was very embarrassing. Not to mention that he was a senior official of the pseudo-government, even if he had only the experience of serving as the president of the Chamber of Commerce, he would be regarded as a traitor after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War.

Even after the War of Resistance Against Japan, Xiao Yuanshan escaped, no need to say what consequences would he have as a capitalist in the future.

Gao Jiu believed that Xiao Yuanshan's only way out was to go far away and avoid disasters abroad.

Gao Jiu said: "Master, there is no way out. I have some suggestions for your reference."

Xiao Yuanshan is now like a drowning man. Gao Jiu's words were like giving him a life-saving straw. He asked hurriedly: "Ajiu, what's the idea? Tell me quickly."

Gao Jiu told Xiao Yuanshan what he thought.

Xiao Yuanshan had many questions in his mind. He kept asking questions to Gao Jiu, and Gao Jiu answered them one by one.

Xiao Yuanshan and Xiao Yatong really didn't expect that Gao Jiu was so familiar with the situation of various major countries in the world. He saw so far-reachingly about the situation in the whole world. He had unique insights in military, politics, and economy, and even the future development direction of industry and commerce, and even the convincing predictions. Not only that, he also had many connections in both parties.

Nowadays, Gao Jiu gives Xiao Yuanshan and his daughter the feeling that they are both, and can only be described in four words - unfathomable.

Xiao Yuanshan said with relief: "Ajiu, it seems that God has treated me very well with the Xiao family. I saved you at the beginning, but now you are the only one who can save our whole family."

Then he said, "Ajiu, I believe in you, everything will be done as you said."

Xiao Yatong said with admiration on her face: "Ajiu, I really didn't expect that you are so powerful now!"

Speaking of this, she half-joking and half-seriously said: "Ajiu, come back and be a driver for me. With you by my side, I feel much more at ease."

Gao Jiu smiled and said, "Okay! I think the best profession in the world is really not to be a bandit, but to be a follower with the eldest lady."

Xiao Yatong couldn't help but giggle.

Xiao Yuanshan felt more and more relieved when he saw his daughter and Gao Jiu's relationship. He really didn't expect that he had saved a young man who was about to starve to death on the roadside, but it was just a small task and he didn't care about it at all.

Who would have thought that this young man now became his strong backer?

Gao Jiu was also very happy. Not only could he repay Xiao Yuanshan and his daughter for saving his life, but he also found one of the most powerful helpers who could help him develop overseas.

Xiao Yuanshan still has many questions to ask Gao Jiu for advice. He said, "Do you have a place to live in Jinan City? Why not just live in our own home."

At this moment, he really began to regard Gao Jiu as a part of his family.

After all, Gao Jiu is a person that the Japanese are focusing on. He does not want to bring danger to the Xiao family. It is best to minimize the number of appearances he appears here as much as possible.

He said, "Master, I have a place to live outside. I will leave a phone number for the lady. If you need it, just call me at any time."

Xiao Yuanshan smiled and said, "Ajiu, I understand your feelings. However, you are still safe to live at home. I will soon become the deputy mayor of the new government, and no one dares to come to search at home."

Speaking of this, he said with some self-deprecating words: "It seems that it is also beneficial for me to be the deputy mayor."
