Siheyuan: Cooking journey

Chapter 287 What do you want to thank me for?

He Yuzhu put away the silver needle, looked at her, and rubbed his eyebrows with a headache.

Keiko and Kana are friends who grew up together, but now their hostility is obvious, which makes him feel very difficult. After thinking for a long time, he decided to find more opportunities to talk to her and use words to resolve the gap between them.

After making up his mind, he looked at Kana who was sleeping quietly and felt a sense of tenderness in his heart.

From Jingzi, I learned that Kana's marriage was arranged because of him. Huang Ruo was bullied, and Kana was helpless and could only ask for help from the Yamamoto family.

When Kana was a child, her grandfather took her to the Yamamoto family, where she met Yamamoto Yasuo. The two met formally after they became adults.

After they met, Yamamoto Yasuo developed a liking for Kana and repeatedly showed his affection to her, but Kana declined. However, the status and influence of the Yamamoto family made it impossible for them to directly reject his marriage proposal. After all, the Yamamoto family's voice in this country is almost unmatched.

Even if she really chose to leave, where could she go? And the person she loved was already married. After much consideration, Kana could only accept her fate helplessly.

After learning about the background, He Yuzhu felt very sad. He gently stroked Kana's long hair and felt a little strange.

I always feel like I have some kind of indissoluble bond with the Yamamoto family.

Yukiko Nakamori's original fiancé was from the Yamamoto family. Now, another person with the same surname Yamamoto has appeared and wants to marry Kana, and is also using the power in his hands to put pressure on her.

What's even more coincidental is that the consortium behind Hosokawa is also supported by Yamamoto Yasuo. Last night, based on the information provided by Hosokawa, He Yuzhu found Yamamoto Yasuo.

At this moment, the other party should be lying in a hospital bed. This means that he can no longer target Yukiko Mori or Kana's family.

He Yuzhu didn't take the unexpected solution to Kana's predicament, but he was just worried about how to persuade Kana to settle down with him in Hong Kong.

According to Keiko, Kana is determined to become an independent new-age woman who does not rely on men, and she would definitely not be willing to live with a married man.

It seems that we still lack communication in our daily lives. I need to find more time to talk to her and get closer to her. Maybe she will agree to move in.

After staying in the room with the sleeping Kana and Keiko for a while, I saw that it was almost noon. Although I didn't plan to go to work today, I remembered that Mitsuki Hisayama was still waiting for news, so I called the company.

David answered the phone and learned that Huang Ruo had returned to Hong Kong because of the kidnapping and no longer planned to work here.

After asking about the sales of instant noodles, I was about to hang up when I heard David mention another important matter.

It turned out that Ye Shan was looking for him at the company early in the morning. As he was worried about the two people sleeping soundly, He Yuzhu told them that they could come to the hotel to discuss in detail.

I didn't wait too long. I just returned to my room and changed my clothes when there was a knock on the door...

The door opened.

Ye Shan stood at the door, still dressed in professional attire.

He Yuzhu invited her in and asked, "What's the matter?"

Ye Shan couldn't help but glance at him, with mixed feelings. Meeting again, just one glance was enough to confirm that although He Yuzhu and Wang Xuan looked different, their eyes were exactly the same.

So what if the appearance has changed?

Ye Shan knew there were many ways to do this. She intuitively felt that the two people were actually the same person.

But even if he knew, what could he do? Revenge? Now He Yuzhu represented the Red Country, how could he be dealt with casually?

And is there really such a deep hatred between the two? On the contrary, he saved his life once.

Obviously, He Yuzhu didn't want to mention the matter of his other identity. Even if he asked, it wouldn't change anything. He didn't even know how to start.

Ye Shan took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and started talking about instant noodles.

"About our consignment sales of instant noodles..."

He Yuzhu thought about it for a moment and didn't object. As long as the instant noodles could be sold, it didn't matter who the agent was.

"Okay, you can discuss this matter directly with David."

This answer surprised Ye Shan a little. She didn't expect him to be so straightforward.

"Is there anything else you want to talk about?" He Yuzhu looked at her again and asked.

"Actually, I have something to trouble you with."

Ye Shan lowered her eyes and said in a trembling voice, "Do you know a man named Wang Xuan? He's from the Red Country."

Wang Xuan?

He Yuzhu was stunned, not understanding why Ye Shan suddenly mentioned this name. He frowned in a pretentious manner, thought for a while, and then shook his head: "I don't know him."

Hearing him say that he didn't know her, Ye Shan pursed her lips and said seriously, "Thank you."

"no need thank me?"

He Yuzhu looked at her in confusion. She had just mentioned a name called Wang Xuan, and then she thanked him.

what is this?

Thinking of this, He Yuzhu wondered if his identity had been discovered. But he immediately dismissed the idea. He was very confident in his disguise. Whether it was the alias or the change in appearance, it was carefully designed and had nothing to do with his original identity. It was impossible to be easily discovered.

"Thank you for letting us do this business, which allows us to make some money."

Ye Shan lowered her head and looked at the ground. She was not looking at the ground but trying to restrain herself from staring at He Yuzhu.

Somehow, every time I see this man, I can't help but be attracted to him, especially after confirming that they are actually the same person.

Oh, so it was because of this matter. I really was overthinking it.

"There's nothing to be thankful for." He Yuzhu said casually.

"No, we still want to thank you. This may not mean much to you, but it is really important to us."

Ye Shan couldn't help but look at him, her eyelashes trembling and drooping, and she said with a somewhat lonely look: "Ye Ying should have mentioned the spy group and the killer group to you before."

"The original idea was to train a group of spies and place them in the major wealthy families in Japan."

"This plan sounds good, but it is actually not professional. There were many problems during the training process, and many people failed to pass the test and were eliminated for various reasons."

"Mr. Yamanaka thinks those who are eliminated can be left alone."

"But we couldn't stand it, so we used the training funds to secretly support these people. Later, Mr. Yamanaka found out, but he didn't say anything, but just reduced the funds by half."

"Later, we selected some of the eliminated people and trained them to become killers. These people successfully helped Mr. Yamanaka solve many problems, which allowed us to regain his funding."

"Even so, there are still some people who cannot even become qualified killers because they have different defects or difficulties."

"Moreover, being a killer is not an easy job. Whether it is during mission execution or normal training, it is easy to get injured, resulting in a high rate of physical disability."

"In Mr. Yamanaka's opinion, these people are no longer of any use and should be abandoned."

"These women have already experienced the pain of being abandoned by society."

"We didn't want them to suffer the same treatment again, so we set up a small farm in the suburbs to achieve a self-sufficient lifestyle."

"Although the spy training program has been carried out for many years and a lot of manpower, material and financial resources have been invested, it has failed to achieve the expected results; at the same time, more and more people are being eliminated."

"Food costs money, medical care costs money, and it is really expensive to maintain so many people."

"Although Mr. Yamanaka gradually reduced the amount of support, it was still barely enough to maintain daily life."

"However, Mr. He now proposed to disband the two groups, and Mr. Yamanaka fully agreed. He ordered that all funding be stopped immediately and the teams be allowed to disband on their own."

"It's good to regain freedom, but for this forgotten marginalized group, freedom is not the key to solving the problem."

"They have no special skills and have no idea how to integrate into the outside world. If they really leave the farm, they are likely to fall into a more miserable life, such as ending up in a red-light district. When we told them the news of the disbandment, no one wanted to leave."

"The days ahead will certainly be filled with hardships, but we have never thought of giving up on each other."

"We are really grateful to Mr. Ho for being able to earn a small income by selling instant noodles."

He Yuzhu frowned and asked in confusion: "I've seen the account book. Your Shanhai Gang's funds are not tight, right? Will feeding all these people put pressure on Shan Zhongyue?"

"In fact, the problem is not the number. Over the years, there are already hundreds of people. Supporting them for a long time is indeed a considerable expense."

Understood.

He Yuzhu was speechless for a moment. Although he had only met Yamanaka Takeru once, he was well aware of the old man's extreme attitude towards the Japanese - not just disgust, but even worse contempt for some radical factions within the Japanese.

If I had to spend so much money to take care of the Japanese...

He knew that he couldn't do that either.

But he also understood that not all people from hostile countries deserve hatred. The real targets that should be eradicated are those militants with malicious intentions.

Some of the great man's staunch supporters are good examples.

As for some left-wing young people, they are idealists who strive to change the status quo and to a certain extent cannot be considered enemies.

The Japanese orphans we adopted were just innocent children.

This surprised He Yuzhu. He had always thought Ye Shan was a cruel woman, but he never thought she had such a gentle and delicate side.

If you raise a cat or a dog for a long time, you will naturally develop feelings for them.

Not to mention people.

Ye Shan's decision,

Although He Yuzhu agreed, he still felt a little uncomfortable.

The original intention was to train spies, but it turned out to be such a burden that it became a relief center, almost a charity. This is unique in the world. Not to mention that the stubborn Yamanaka-dake was unwilling to provide funds.

No organization would support this.

"This is not a long-term solution."

He Yuzhu gave a reasonable suggestion.

"Now that they are free, they can slowly learn to be independent, adapt to ordinary people's lives, fall in love, and get married. This is the right way. We can't support them for the rest of their lives."
