Genius Agent

Chapter 138 Sudden Explosion

He doesn't know much about grand principles, but he's simple-minded and thinks very simply.

To run a business, you must make money; you can't lose money.

"Manager Chen, hello. I am Fu Jiu. Mr. Su asked me to come here to learn from you and help you."

The next morning, Fu Jiu arrived at the pharmacy. The pharmacy had already opened, but the other pharmacists had not yet arrived. The pharmacists were cleaning by themselves.

"Fu Jiu is here. Come in quickly. The teacher told me, 'Don't worry, I will teach you to read properly from now on.'"

The noodle shop owner was delighted to see Fu Jiu. He was very supportive of Fu Jiu coming to the shop, as it meant that the shop now had a true member of his own.

Noodles thinks very simply: the other pharmacists are all employees, they are not considered Su Yuncheng's people.

Fu Jiu is different; he is a new student of the Master, and the Master attaches great importance to Fu Jiu, nurturing him in the same way he nurtured them in the past.

They were even better to them than to them.

Noodles and Chen Ming felt no jealousy, only joy.

With someone like that accompanying him at the pharmacy, Noodles felt much more at ease. He believed that Fu Jiu, like himself, was someone who wholeheartedly cared for Mr. Noodles.

Unlike pharmacists who work in stores just to make money, they are not true members of the family, but merely employees.

He believed that Fu Jiu, like himself, wanted to start a business even without a salary.

"Is your pharmacy not making money right now?"

Noodles had met Fu Jiu before, and Fu Jiu's arrival provided him with someone to discuss things with.

Three cobblers with their wits combined can outwit Zhuge Liang. If we have the chance, we should ask Chen Ming and You Tiao again, and together we can come up with a solution. I believe they can definitely make the noodles a success.

"Yes, at least that was the case yesterday."

Noodles nodded. He was simple-minded and had only met Fu Jiu once, but he trusted Fu Jiu.

He mainly trusted Su Yuncheng; he unconditionally trusted anyone who was a member of the Master's group.

"Shopkeeper, you're asking me how to do business? I really don't know anything about it."

Fu Jiu gave a wry smile. He hadn't expected Su Yuncheng's business to be losing money right after opening. If it continued to lose money, the store definitely wouldn't last long.

Even if Su Yuncheng's family is large and powerful, they can't keep filling this hole forever.

His idea was correct, but he knew too little about Su Yuncheng. Even if he lost several times more, Su Yuncheng would still keep the pharmacy open and would never let it close down.

Su Yuncheng's goal is not now, but to stockpile medicine and make money in the future.

"You wouldn't understand either."

The noodles were a bit disappointing. The other employees in the store had arrived and were all at their seats, waiting for customers to arrive.

When someone buys medicine, Noodles doesn't need to be physically present, but he still stays next to the pharmacist, mainly to learn how to sell medicine.

Unfortunately, he really didn't understand pharmacology.

As for teaching Fu Jiu to read, it's fine when there are no customers, or at noon or in the evening. Now that the renovation is complete, the noodle shop is available all the time except when taking care of the shop's business.

At the newspaper office, Su Yuncheng was busy.

After the newspaper's sales exceeded 23,000 copies last time, sales have been increasing recently. The new reporters and editors are already familiar with the work process, and they know what the public likes to read.

Tomoo Muto relaxed the restrictions, allowing articles criticizing the Japanese to be published, which significantly increased the newspaper's sales.

Sales have now reached an average of 28,000 units per day, and breaking the 30,000-unit mark is just around the corner.

Sales increased, salaries increased, and all employees were highly motivated.

"Editor-in-chief, here is tomorrow's sample copy."

In the afternoon, Huang Chuanming delivered the sample, which needed Su Yuncheng's approval before it could be sent to the printing factory.

The newspaper editors have been categorized and each has their own supervisor, but Su Yuncheng has not yet officially expanded the newspaper; he is still the editor-in-chief.

"Put it here."

Su Yuncheng nodded slightly, and as soon as he finished speaking, he and Huang Chuanming turned their heads together.

【boom】

A muffled boom came from afar; it must have been the sound of an explosion, something that ordinary guns and cannons couldn't produce.

"I'll go get the car."

Huang Chuanming reacted quickly; no matter where the explosion occurred or what caused it, it was big news to them.

Just as he finished speaking, several more muffled thuds were heard, indicating that the explosions were still ongoing.

"Okay, go quickly."

Su Yuncheng had already gotten up and came to the large office outside: "Xiao Wang, Xiao Hu, take your cameras and pens and come with me."

"Hu Feng, you guys get on your bicycles and head to the scene immediately."

Su Yuncheng issued a series of orders, making quite a commotion. This time, he sent more people. In addition to the four people in the car, Su Yuncheng called for four more.

"Yes, editor-in-chief."

Everyone at the newspaper heard the commotion and realized it was an emergency. They immediately packed their things and prepared to head to the scene.

When Su Yuncheng, Xiao Wang, and Xiao Hu arrived downstairs, Huang Chuanming had already driven his car to the door and was waiting for them.

"To the dock."

After getting in the car, Su Yuncheng immediately called out, and Huang Chuanming, who was now a very skilled driver, immediately shifted gears and drove off.

Judging from the direction of the sound, it should be from the Shiliupu Wharf area.

The Shiliupu Wharf was located in the French Concession, near the Chinese-controlled area, and was under the jurisdiction of the Xiaodongmen Police Station.

The docks were lucrative, and the Xiaodongmen police station wielded considerable influence.

At the Xiafei Road Police Station, Lu Mingxuan was standing by the office window, and he also heard the noise.

Such a large explosion, and a series of explosions at that, someone's in trouble.

Fortunately, the incident didn't happen on his side this time, otherwise he probably wouldn't be able to sleep soundly at night. The last incident made Dillon very angry, and if something happened here again, even with Su Yuncheng's help, his position as chief inspector might be in danger.

"Go and see what's going on."

At the Wangjianglou Teahouse, the police captain, who was resting there, immediately stood up and shouted loudly at the moment of the explosion.

The people around him looked at each other.

The explosion happened on their side, and they even felt the ground shake.

Judging from the commotion, the explosion was quite large.

Who would dare to go see it under these circumstances?

"Go on, don't dawdle, Liu Er, you go."

Seeing that no one moved, the captain immediately pointed to a person. This was his jurisdiction, and with such a big incident, the chief inspector and the others would definitely be here soon.

Even the section chief might come.

If he can't even explain what happened when these important figures arrive, he's no longer a captain.

"Yes, Captain."

Liu Er cursed inwardly, thinking that going there at this moment would be tantamount to suicide, but he dared not disobey his captain's orders. He went out the door and slowly walked towards the explosion site.

The explosion occurred at a dock warehouse, and Liu Er saw many people running out.

Black smoke was billowing from a warehouse.

With such powerful explosions occurring several times in a row, the losses must be considerable. It's unclear which warehouse was affected.

Whoever it was, they were all harmed this time, Liu Er cursed inwardly as he walked slowly, occasionally stopping people who ran out to ask about the situation. If he could get the details, he wouldn't need to go back to the scene to check.

Who knows if there will be any more explosions at the scene.

Whether there's anyone there or not, if there really is a firefight, one bullet could kill him.

Huang Chuanming drove very fast and arrived at the Shiliupu Wharf in less than ten minutes.

From afar, they could already see the thick smoke in the sky, confirming that the explosion had occurred in their vicinity.
