Chapter 796 This is simply outrageous!
Chu Xin, who had been hiding in the shadows and listening to the whole process, finally understood. It turned out that she had misunderstood. It wasn't some important person making a scene, but rather the commotion caused by these Japanese people who had just finished the foreign trade fair in Guangzhou and were preparing to go to Shanghai.
As for that so-called Director Cheng, she still doesn't know if he has ulterior motives, but the fact that he was able to let the passengers outside pass in time suggests that he knows what's important.
As for why China still traded with Japan during such a difficult time, Chu Xin actually knew a little about it.
Its core purpose is to fill gaps, break blockades, acquire technology, stabilize people's livelihoods, and plan strategies. It is being carried out slowly in a "semi-official, semi-civilian" model, which both provides emergency relief and achieves the purpose of strategic planning.
This is a measure taken by the state after careful consideration. In recent years, the Great Leap Forward, natural disasters, and the split between China and Russia have cut off 70% of China's foreign trade channels, creating an urgent need for new alternative markets and technologies.
Establishing trade relations with Japan could both break the Western blockade and undermine the alliance between the United States and Japan.
Of course, these are things that only the highest-level leaders of the country would worry about. As a time traveler who only knows a little bit about history, Chu Xin believed that even if the people of Japan had a grudge against her, she would not act rashly and resent the country. Such behavior would be considered weak.
So after understanding the cause and effect of the matter, she decided to leave this place to meet up with Yang Zheng and Ge Shaoting.
Before she could even slip out of the government guesthouse, she saw someone even more suspicious than her. He was short, with a buzz cut and a slightly chubby build. Normally, such a person would be very ordinary and wouldn't attract attention in a crowd.
However, his behavior was really despicable. Chu Xin only glanced at him and immediately thought of a scene from an old movie she had seen before. The Japanese soldiers who sneaked into the village in "Hands Up" were just like that.
A glint of malice flashed in her eyes, and a chill settled on Chu Xin's pretty face. Even if the guesthouse was full of Japanese people, this person's behavior was definitely suspicious.
She suddenly turned her footsteps and followed the other person lightly and silently.
After circling around, the man spotted a secluded corner, straightened up, and adopted an arrogant and haughty demeanor. He then casually swaggered outwards and walked towards the reception area of the guesthouse lobby.
"Haha, sorry to keep you all waiting. I suddenly had an upset stomach and had to go to the bathroom. I'm sorry to have taken up your time."
As he spoke, he walked up to Matsumoto Ken and, feigning remorse, bowed deeply to him, saying, "Mr. Matsumoto, please forgive me!"
As for Cheng Pide, who was in charge of their entire itinerary, he acted as if he didn't even see him, and was extremely arrogant.
Cheng Pide already knew what kind of person this so-called senior technician Nakamura was, so he ignored his provocation and went straight to the point, asking, "I wonder where technician Nakamura has gone? I've searched the whole guesthouse and haven't seen you anywhere?"
"Is this what you call a land of etiquette? You even pry into the private affairs of your guests? What, do you have something valuable that I would steal?" Nakamura said, his smile growing increasingly malicious as he spoke, "Or are you going to secretly collect and study even my excrement?"
These words immediately caused an uproar in the hall. The Japanese side all laughed with disdain, while the Chinese side clenched their fists in anger and glared at them. This was simply too much!
