Ning Zhiheng looked at Ishikawa Takeshi and asked, "I asked you to open up the transportation route from Shanghai to southern Jiangsu, but you haven't started yet, have you?"
Takeshi Ishikawa blushed, his lips twitched, and he awkwardly replied, "I'm so sorry! I'll get started right away!"
He knew that Ning Zhiheng was quite dissatisfied with his work. As one of the shareholders of Fujiwara Company, he had a responsibility to contribute to the development and growth of Fujiwara Company. Moreover, Ning Zhiheng had given him too much, not only in terms of money, but also in terms of his current status and future in the military, which far exceeded his initial expectations. From the bottom of his heart, Ishikawa Takeshi was sincerely grateful to Ning Zhiheng.
He believed that meeting Fujiwara Tomohito was the luckiest thing in his life, and that it completely changed his life. So when Ning Zhiheng expressed his dissatisfaction with him, Ishikawa Takeshi felt extremely ashamed.
Ning Zhiheng was indeed dissatisfied with his behavior. After all, opening up transportation channels in southern Jiangsu was an extremely important matter that would greatly help his smuggling business.
“Wu Zhi, in the past few months, our company has integrated smuggling resources in Shanghai. These smuggling companies have become our suppliers. Now, our monthly cargo transportation volume has increased significantly. However, our transportation capacity to Jiangxi has been restricted. Therefore, we must open up a transportation line to southern Jiangsu as soon as possible to divert some of the goods to this direction and recover funds as quickly as possible. You need to know that every minute and every second is money. Don’t waste your energy on those pointless tasks.”
Ning Zhiheng once again warned Ishikawa Takeshi, not wanting him to focus his energy on dealing with Chinese spies.
To be honest, Takeshi Ishikawa is indeed a shrewd and capable young military officer. As Ning Zhiheng's representative, he has been running around organizing the entire smuggling channel, and his work ability is absolutely outstanding.
Furthermore, the fact that the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics (CBIS) agents were still unable to escape Ning Zhiheng's pursuit during this operation to capture them is enough to prove everything.
"Hey, I'm so sorry, it's all because of me that the company's work has been delayed!" Takeshi Ishikawa bowed again in apology.
Ning Zhiheng finally smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Wu Zhi, you're too kind! We met when we were poor. Back then, you were just an ordinary low-ranking officer, and I was just a scholar who had wandered overseas with nowhere to live. It's really not easy for us to get to where we are today, so we must cherish everything we have now."
We are not only close friends, but also like brothers. We are still so young, and we have a long road ahead of us. We should encourage and support each other!
For a moment, Ishikawa Takeshi was deeply moved by Ning Zhiheng's heartfelt words, and the scene of his first meeting with Ning Zhiheng two years ago came back to mind.
A young military officer wearing an armband greeted and chatted warmly with a refined young man approaching from the opposite direction; it all seemed like yesterday.
Now, both of their identities have undergone tremendous changes, especially Fujiwara Tomohito, who is now a far cry from his former self. He is composed, has an extraordinary temperament, and exudes an awe-inspiring authority with every move, displaying the demeanor of a superior.
"Zhiren, I understand your good intentions. Please rest assured, I will work even harder to contribute to the company and will never let you down!"
Seeing that his emotional appeal had worked exceptionally well, Ning Zhiheng couldn't help but nod in approval. Ishikawa Takeshi was his most capable assistant, and it was essential to appease and win him over.
"There's one more thing. When I visited Colonel Katsuta, I brought up your promotion again. He has promised to work on it for you soon. You've made another contribution this time, so if nothing unexpected happens, you'll be promoted soon. Takeshi, keep up the good work!"
Takeshi Ishikawa was overjoyed. He knew that although Takashi Katsuta had promised to apply for a promotion for him, he had not taken any action. This time, he must have sent a lot of money to satisfy Takashi Katsuta and finally start paving the way for him.
"Tomohito, I'm so sorry to have troubled you again!" Takeshi Ishikawa sighed softly and said again, his gratitude beyond measure.
While the two of them were chatting and laughing, the transportation of valuables in the old house had already been completed.
The arranged vehicles were parked at the entrance, and some workers loaded the furniture from the house onto the trucks, filling several trucks to the brim, before finally driving away.
In a car not far away, the surveillance personnel from Shanghai Station kept a close eye on the other party's movements until all the people had moved out of the Lian family's old house. They did not find anything unusual before they went back to report to Guan Han.
That afternoon, Ning Zhiheng personally escorted a truck into the International Settlement.
After several transfers, the valuables were finally transported to the basement of the Tan Mansion. Ning Zhiheng's return brought great joy to everyone.
Zuo Rou, who had been in charge of the affairs of the Tan Mansion, couldn't help but smile when she saw Ning Zhiheng's sudden arrival. She stepped forward to greet Ning Zhiheng and said with a smile, "Why is it so sudden this time? You didn't even tell me beforehand. And what's the story behind these boxes?"
Ning Zhiheng said with a smile, "This time it's a bit sudden. I brought back a lot of good things, but I don't know exactly what they are. Let's go take a look together!"
Ning Zhiheng gestured for everyone to step back, and he and Zuo Rou walked hand in hand into the basement, where the most important items of the intelligence department were stored, including many precious cultural relics and antiques that Ning Zhiheng had previously acquired.
