Reborn Bao Guowei, I really didn’t want to be a great writer!

Chapter 482: Breaking up with the Japanese woman? Zhang Taiyan has connections!
"Master, what did the Japanese women say to you last night?"

"Master, you can't let down Master's Wife, can you?"

"Master, please be clear-headed. It is impossible to be with a Japanese woman. You are going to get married soon."

"Master, you can't be confused."

Over the next few days, Cao Yanhai kept chattering in Bao Guowei's ear, as if he was afraid that Bao Guowei would really go astray.

But it seems more like mocking Bao Guowei for committing a "love debt".

After listening for a long time, Bao Guowei became a little impatient. He kicked Cao Yanhai to the ground and said unhappily.

"Are you done yet? Everyone has left, but you are still bringing it up. If anyone else hears this, I will make you the first eunuch in the Republic of China."

Cao Yanhai felt his lower body shrink. He was not afraid of anything else except this treasure, which he must not lose.

He shook his head and begged for mercy, saying: "Master, you can't let me become a eunuch. I, Cao, am the only son in my generation and I haven't married yet.

Besides, it’s the Republic of China now. It’s not like the Qing Dynasty where people were not treated as human beings.

This castration thing is not feasible~"

Bao Guowei didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He slapped his apprentice on the forehead and said, "If I don't castrate you, I'm afraid you will die in a woman's belly one day."

Others may not know, but Bao Guowei knows it all.

Since coming to Gusu, Cao Yanhai has been to Changmen quite often. It is an important commercial district in Gusu City with a large flow of people and convenient transportation. It has also become an important breeding ground for related industries.

Two years ago, Qian Dajun of the National Army was one of the Eight Vajras under Chiang Kai-shek.

When he was stationed in Beijing, he also rectified the prostitution industry and banned the former official prostitutes.

But this blockade led to the proliferation of private prostitution.

In the final analysis, the common people could no longer make a living, and many women were simply looking for a way to make a living.

Cao Yanhai is a kind-hearted person. While Bao Guowei is doing charity work outside, this guy takes his monthly salary and goes to Changmen to do "charity".

I heard that he was very generous and treated everyone equally.

In today's Changmen service industry, Cao Yanhai is extremely popular.

"Liao Yaquan left these two days, right?"

Walking in the yard, Bao Guowei noticed the direction of Liao Yaquan's room and asked.

"She left." Cao Yanhai nodded and said, "That woman was a professional. She left almost no trace. No one in the mansion noticed except me."

Speaking of this, Cao Yanhai couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive.

"Master, are we really going to let the tiger go back to the mountains like this? This woman is quite capable, keeping her here might be a disaster."

Bao Guowei sighed and said, "Forget it. She left a handle. If the Japanese military finds out that she was the one who leaked the information, Liao Yaquan will be in more pain than death.

That’s good.”

Liao Yaquan left quietly on his own, and Zhang Nianyue and everyone in the Zhang Mansion would not be affected.

Bao Guowei can also use the intelligence of these Japanese spies to do a lot of things.

Naturally, this information can only play its greatest role if it is not discovered.

Among them, Bao Guowei paid most attention to the Japanese deployment in the Northeast.

After seeing the list, Bao Guowei knew that this thing must be handed over to Zhang Xueliang.

The news that Liao Yaquan had left the Zhang Mansion quickly spread throughout the mansion.

The most surprised one was Zhang Nianyue, because Bao Guowei had already told her about Liao Yaquan's possible identity.

At the beginning, Zhang Nianyue was still a little wary, but after spending a long time together, she no longer felt that Liao Yaquan was a threatening person.

On the contrary, I feel that this is a woman with a kind heart.

Zhang Nianyue regarded her as her good sister, and even thought that if Bao Guowei liked Liao Yaquan and was willing, he could let her be his concubine or something.

But the other party just left without any warning.

It cannot be said that there were no signs, but Zhang Nianyue was busy preparing for the wedding recently and had no time to pay attention to the other party's changes.

"Is Yaquan gone? Why did she leave so suddenly? She didn't even wait until I got married."

After knowing the news, Zhang Nianyue felt a little disappointed and relieved.

The other party also left a letter, which roughly meant that a lost relative had been found in his village and Liao Yaquan was rushing back to meet him.

The letter congratulated Zhang Nianyue on her marriage and mentioned that her relatives had returned from abroad.

Later, Liao Yaquan planned to follow this relative to study abroad and perhaps never come back.

"But you didn't even see him for the last time?"

Zhang Nianyue naturally understood that these things were just excuses, but she still felt a sense of loss.

Many servants in the Zhang residence expressed regret when they heard that Liao Yaquan left without saying goodbye.

Lao Bao often saw this woman and couldn't help but sigh.

"Yaquan is a good girl. She is a well-educated lady and she is very skillful at work.

It's just that her life experience was a bit tragic, otherwise she would have been a lady from a wealthy family.

Now, God has a good heart and I have a relative to look after me. It is good to go abroad.”

There is also an old woman who is familiar with Liao Yaquan and is worried that she has been cheated.

"Could it be that Yaquan was deceived? She is such a beautiful girl, maybe someone in the village conspired to harm her? I heard."

In this era, a woman's beauty is a commodity and a resource, and she is easily targeted.

There were many different opinions in the Zhang Mansion, and most of them were about missing Liao Yaquan.

But life still has to go on, and within a few days, this person's name disappeared from everyone's mouth.

That day, Zhang Taiyan called Bao Guowei into his study, locked the door, and did not allow anyone else to come in, as if he had something to say.

Bao Guowei was not too nervous when he saw Old Zhang's mysterious look, and he just started making tea.

"Liao Yaquan is gone?"

"gone."

"That's a strange woman."

Bao Guowei raised his head and looked at the old Zhang with a white beard. He seemed to be not senile yet.

Without explaining, Bao Guowei simply said: "But I have solved it."

Zhang Taiyan looked at his apprentice strangely, took a sip of tea, and couldn't help but sigh.

"You've really grown up."

"Master is old too."

After thinking for a while, Zhang Taiyan said, "How is the novel? It is not easy to translate it into Japanese. You need to find a reliable translator.

"Knowing the teacher"

Reaching out his hand, Bao Guowei interrupted what Zhang Taiyan was going to say.

"I've finished writing."

This simple sentence almost made Zhang Taiyan choke on his tea, and his beard was stained with water stains.

Fortunately, after Zhang Taiyan followed the healthy diet and lifestyle guidelines given by Bao Guowei, and took various medications, his health improved a lot.

Otherwise, this cup of tea would definitely wet a large area of ​​his pants.

At this age, if your pants are wet, it can easily be misunderstood.

For an old man like Zhang Taiyan who values ​​his reputation so much, it would be better for him to die if he were to be criticized as having wet his pants.

"You kid, you want to deceive me again. When did you learn Japanese?"

Zhang Taiyan couldn't help feeling a little dissatisfied after almost stumbling. He knew that his apprentice had an outstanding learning ability and could communicate in English more fluently than some international students.

Can you speak Japanese?
When did Bao Guowei learn it? Did he have the conditions and time to learn it?

"Sir, please look."

Without further ado, Bao Guowei took out his recent manuscript from the side and handed it to Zhang Taiyan.

Zhang Taiyan opened the manuscript with a suspicious look on his face and read it carefully.

In his early years, Zhang Taiyan studied in Japan. Although he did not stay there for a long time, he was still able to do some basic Japanese reading. However, even Zhang Taiyan, who studied and exchanged in Japan, did not dare to guarantee that he could write Japanese at the publication level.

Why does Bao Guowei have such confidence?

Even with such doubts, Zhang Taiyan still felt quite uneasy.

In the past, when this happened, Bao Guowei would have slapped him in the face.

This time, of course, there were no surprises.

After reading the Japanese version of No Longer Human, the expression on Zhang Taiyan's face became increasingly strange.

Because he even found that this version also included some local Japanese slang.

This is undoubtedly a level that even an ordinary translator would find difficult to achieve.

Looking at the handwriting again, it is exactly the same as Bao Guowei's. It is not impossible that Old Zhang could not recognize his apprentice's handwriting.

He took a deep breath and couldn't help but look at Bao Guowei and said.

"When did you learn Japanese? I didn't see you looking for a Japanese teacher."

Bao Guowei's face was conflicted. He couldn't say that he had a database in his head, and he could learn and remember anything ten or a hundred times faster than ordinary people.

After thinking about it, Bao Guowei decided to be funny and said with a smile.

"Liao Yaquan who left, she is very good at Japanese"

"You boy!"

Zhang Taiyan, who had a bad temper, stood up immediately and glared at him.

It was because the master and the apprentice knew each other well that Bao Guowei dared to make this joke. He immediately waved his hand and said.

"Just kidding, sir, do you think I look like that kind of person?"

"Hmph~" The older Zhang Taiyan gets, the more his temper becomes like that of a child. He crossed his feet and looked at Bao Guowei with dissatisfaction.

The latter hurriedly explained, "I often go to Shanghai, and I met a lot of Japanese people at Mr. Yucai's place. I practiced speaking with them and learned some slang.

Coupled with regular self-study, over time, I will naturally reach this level.

Knowing yourself and knowing your enemy, you can fight a hundred battles without danger, right? "

After much persuasion, Zhang Taiyan was finally "cajoled" over.

The latter reluctantly accepted this reason.

However, Zhang Taiyan was still shocked, because this kind of learning ability was something he had never achieved even when he was young.

After thinking about it, his face became serious again and he asked.

"What about the publication and promotion sales in Japan?"

"Aren't you waiting for your assistance, sir?"

Bao Guowei showed a flattering smile on his face.

"Guo Wei still has to rely on his master a lot of the time."

Selling works to Japan is not an easy task.

At first, Bao Guowei wanted to rely on Liao Yaquan, but unfortunately he did not succeed.

Through Xun Ge'er, Bao Guowei found the relationship with Ozaki Hidemi.

This gentleman is a well-known member of Japan's underground left-wing and also has extraordinary influence in the journalism industry.

But relying solely on Ozaki Hidemi is definitely not enough.

Previously, Bao Guowei had expressed his need for help to Zhang Taiyan, but the latter was very secretive about it.

Now it seems that there are signs?
Zhang Taiyan showed a satisfied smile on his face. To be honest, the omnipotence that his disciple had always displayed still made him a little anxious.

After all, as a master, he seemed to have nothing to teach Bao Guowei.

Now that I have a direction and can help others, I feel much better.

"Do you remember what I once told you? If you ever go to Japan, you should follow the address I gave you and look for a literary club I founded."

Bao Guowei nodded and said bluntly.

"I remember now, Master, you were drunk at the time and told me something in a daze, saying that you had many friends in Japan and had secretly established a literary club, all of whom were famous figures there."

Hearing this, Zhang Taiyan's old face turned red, and he almost completely forgot the previous scene.

He immediately laughed and said.

"This is not important. What is important is our current situation."

Even though he is Old Zhang, he rarely gets drunk.

Fortunately, there is no convenient photography technology in this era, otherwise this dark history would have been left behind.

"Knapp, you know what?"

"All-Japan Proletarian Art Union?"

"Not bad, kid." Zhang Taiyan looked at his apprentice in surprise, and then explained, "It was a left-wing artist organization founded in Japan a few years ago, including writers, painters, and playwrights, and was dominated by Bolshevism."

Bao Guowei narrowed his eyes and said, "Master, you didn't seem to be very supportive of the left wing in the past? And when did you start to look up to the Bolsheviks?"

He looked his master up and down, wondering if he had secretly become famous in his heart.

Shaking his head, Zhang Taiyan said with a smile:

"Bingwen, you still don't know me well enough.

When I was in Japan, I was the chief editor of the Minbao newspaper and played a leading role in the Bolshevik ideology.

But I think more about learning from others and combining it with the wisdom of our ancestors to establish a democratic republic that belongs to us Chinese people.”

Hearing this, Bao Guowei immediately understood his master's background.

In fact, historically, Zhang Taiyan’s views were complex.

He once supported the Bolsheviks, but he was not a left-wing writer.

He opposed the parliamentary system and advocated a system similar to that of America.

Zhang Taiyan even supported Yuan Shikai, but they later became enemies.

He even had a "honeymoon period" with Chiang Kai-shek, but later he became dissatisfied with his behavior and sneered at it.

This is not because Zhang Taiyan was fickle, but because he was a real person in history and was inherently complex and multifaceted.

Regarding his proposals, Bao Guowei adhered to his long-standing principles, did not make many comments, and just listened quietly.

Then, Bao Guowei listened to Zhang Taiyan continue speaking.

"So, in my early years, I met many left-wing writers and artists in Japan, and many of the members of the literary club I founded later joined related organizations."

These words, like spring thunder, exploded in Bao Guowei's mind.

He never knew.

Did Lao Zhang have these experiences in Japan?

"Junzo Watanabe, Tomoyoshi Murayama, and someone called Kurara Yuto? These people are considered famous in Japan now, right?
There is also a politician named Aso Hisahisa, who once listened to my lectures and can be considered as half of my apprentice.

Now it also has some influence in Japan.

Ah~"

Zhang Taiyan patted his head.

"There is a Japanese businessman named Suzuki Bunji who discussed the national system with me. I went to write to him some time ago, and he just received a letter today."

After saying this, Zhang Taiyan handed the letter to Bao Guowei.

"This"

Bao Guowei was stunned.

Other time travelers might not know these characters, but Bao Guowei couldn't possibly not know them.

He has an encyclopedia in his head!
Damn!

These are the backbone of the left wing in Japan today, and each of them is well-known!

Lao Zhang doesn't often show off, but this time he does it's scary!
