Chapter 539 A Refined Young Lady from the Republican Era Gets the Male and Female Protagonists Killed (41)
"There are only two people in the entire BH city who could invite this expert: either you or Commander Liu. But based on my understanding of your recent work plans, you don't intend to continue expanding and improving your weapons factory. Therefore, I guess it was Commander Liu who invited him."
So, around the designated arrival time, I spent a few days there, and took advantage of the chaos to invite the Orff expert to my factory for a while.
"Hahahaha, is there anything you can't do? So, you took all the money I gave you to upgrade the factory?"
Jin Shu nodded.
"This gun is a way of repaying your initial investment."
"This gun of yours is probably the most successful investment I've made in recent years, Jin Shu. I'm really curious about you. Is there anything in the world that you can't learn?"
Jin Shu thought about it seriously.
"Putting aside the differences caused by the physiological structure of men and women, there should be nothing in the world that I cannot learn."
The key is whether she wants to learn or not.
Although he spoke with great confidence, he didn't come across as arrogant.
After all, Jin Shu did this to an exceptional degree.
Jiang Beilou looked up and silently gazed at her, his overflowing appreciation and admiration concealing the secret feelings hidden in his eyes.
"I do have something else I'd like to ask you."
"Please speak."
"Why didn't you keep such a good thing for yourself? Why did you help me?"
Jiang Beilou had ulterior motives when he asked these questions.
The man, who appeared calm and composed on the surface, was actually slightly tense at this moment.
Jin Shu put down her coffee cup and then turned to look into the man's eyes.
"Possessing a treasure is a crime; I've understood this saying since I was a child. Although I have the ability to develop this new Mauser pistol, I currently lack the ability to protect it."
Once this is made public, Kim could become the target of public criticism.
But Chairman Jiang is different. Giving you this gun is the perfect thing, and I'm sure he won't treat me unfairly when he receives it.
Jin Shu spoke the truth.
The light in Jiang Beilou's eyes gradually faded, but quickly disappeared, finally turning into a mixture of smiles and helplessness.
"Hmm, you're quite good at reading my mind. Alright, you must be tired by now. I'll have the driver take you home to rest. As for the gun, I'll keep it. Here's the check; consider it a purchase."
Jiang Beilou made no mention of the gun's craftsmanship, but instead handed Jin Shu an exorbitantly priced check.
That's an astronomical price, enough for a woman to live a life of luxury for ten lifetimes.
Jiang Beilou has always been generous, and it is said that Jin Shu not only saved his life, but also helped him out of a predicament in front of so many people.
As for the upcoming production of the new Mauser pistol, outsiders believe that the owner of this weapons factory is Jiang Beilou, but in reality, it is Jin Shu.
Jin Shu signed a five-year agreement with Jiang Beilou, under which all weapons produced in her factory would be sold on her behalf by the Beilou Chamber of Commerce, with the Chamber taking a cut and the profits split 50/50. This not only allowed Jin Shu to secure the maximum benefits, but also freed her from any risk of being targeted, allowing her to sit back and relax, focusing on production and collecting money.
On days when she has nothing to do and stays at home, Jin Shu still enjoys reading the newspaper.
Eventually, she even started her own newspaper, hired more than a dozen reporters, and with the backing of the Beilou Chamber of Commerce, the newspaper's business flourished.
So Jin Shu no longer needed to buy newspapers elsewhere. Every day, someone would deliver the newspaper to her, and Jin Shu could keep track of all the big and small events happening in the entire city of BH without having to do anything.
She saw a rumor in the newspaper.
This section is an entertainment segment specially created by Jin Shu, dedicated to reporting on the gossip of celebrities and high-society figures in BH City, as well as film and television stars. As long as it is something that people are interested in, Jin Shu will send people to stake out and film it.
And so this news story came about.
"Zhang Jisheng, a young major general under a northern warlord, is suspected of having a falling out with his translator fiancée."
The love-hate relationship between these warlords is one of the most interesting topics among the young women and middle-aged women in BH City, and Zhang Jisheng, as the youngest and most handsome major general, has always been a regular protagonist in these gossip stories.
With the agreement reached between General Liu and Jiang Beilou, General Liu transformed into an honorary general of BH City, specifically responsible for protecting the safety of BH City during the turbulent years of war.
Zhang Jisheng became the youngest director of the BH Municipal Security Bureau. With a formal position, his reputation was not as impressive as before, but he had more real power, which made him particularly popular among young women.
So after the news of their breakup spread, Jin Shu specially arranged for her reporters to conduct an exclusive interview with him.
It's not that I'm really interested in his love life, it's just that I might as well make some money off him.
The next day, the entertainment section's front page headline read: Director Zhang personally admitted to breaking up with his fiancée.
"They admitted it themselves? Didn't these two propose in the newspaper a long time ago, and the wedding dress and everything were already ordered? How could they just break up like that?"
"I personally interviewed them, so it's definitely true. I even asked why, and Zhang Jisheng said it's because the two of them don't get along and it's impossible for them to get married!"
"Men really can change their minds so quickly. He really said in front of so many people that he would stay with Zhao Hanying forever, but it hasn't been long since then and he has announced their breakup."
"Neither of them are good people. I was chatting with a friend about Zhao Hanying the other day. She's also a reporter. Last week, when she was staking out the theater, she saw Zhao Hanying hugging and kissing an old man as they got into a car together!"
"Really? An old man? Has Zhao Hanying gone mad? She'd leave Zhang Jisheng to hug and kiss an old man?"
"Really? I saw it with my own eyes! And my friend even said that the old man she saw looked like... like Commander Liu!"
Jin Shu sat in the office next door, listening to the two girls talking in hushed tones outside.
There was no way around it; Jin Shu's hearing was just too good. She could hear things clearly even through a wall.
"General Liu?! My God, you must be mistaken! General Liu is over fifty! He could be Zhao Hanying's father! How could that be? Besides, he's so ugly, how could Zhao Hanying, with her background, possibly be with him!"
"I didn't believe it at first either, but then my friend showed me the photo! That photo is still in their newspaper office. I heard that Zhao Hanying told them not to talk about it, otherwise it would have been exposed long ago!"
