Na, Wei, Ke.

What exactly do these three words mean?

Jonathan never figured it out.

chef?

Moroso is likely to return to his old career.

But this is no longer the port of Manila.

The faster Manila recovers, the more restaurants will open.

Jonathan really didn't know where to look.

He found a restaurant at random.

This is actually a pointless approach.

The food is tasteless in your mouth.

At this moment, the conversation between the guests at the next table caught Jonathan's attention.

"Let's try our luck at Nadel Street in the afternoon. Maybe we can find a job there."

"Yes, Nadel Street is quite complete, especially Swick Street."

At first, Jonathan didn't pay much attention.

But then, he suddenly became smart.

Nadelstrasse? Swickstrasse?

Moroso left his own handwriting, could it be the address?

A new door seems to have been opened.

Jonathan really wants to thank these two guests.

He ate a few bites of food in a hurry, put down his money and left the restaurant.

…

It only took Moroso one day to win the favor of Ilia and the two children.

He fixed the lock on the yard door and repaired several damaged pieces of furniture along the way.

Not only that, when he went out to buy tools, he also brought back two pieces of chocolate for his two children.

American chocolate!

You know, this is definitely a luxury item in Manila.

The two children were extremely happy.

"You are so kind to the children." Illya expressed her gratitude.

"this is for you."

Moroso took out a silk scarf from his arms and said sheepishly.

Illya's eyes lit up.

Although it is just an ordinary silk scarf, in Illya's eyes, it is the most precious gift in the world.

"Can I ask what you are doing in Manila and how long you will be here?" Illya asked tentatively.

"I was planning to do some business with my relatives, but unfortunately, my relatives were killed by the Japanese."

Moroso sighed: "Now, I don't know what to do. Let's find a place to live first. I am originally from Manila. My home was destroyed by the Japanese, so I had to rent a house.

here."

Ilia didn't hear the answer she was most afraid of, not to mention how happy she was.

"I have an idea." Moroso suddenly said: "To buy anything here, you need to go to Nadel Street, which is very inconvenient. I see your front room is very big, why not open a grocery store. I think, business

It will definitely be good.”

Illya's eyes lit up again, but then she had some regrets: "I don't know where to buy the goods, and I don't have the capital."

"I can help you."

"You?" Illya was surprised and happy.

"Yes, me." Moroso said seriously: "I have some money, which can be used to decorate the store and purchase goods. I don't like dealing with strangers, so I am only responsible for purchasing goods. Can you run it?

"

"Yes, of course."

Huge happiness fell from the sky, which Ilia had never thought of before: "You, why are you helping me like this?"

"I have liked you since the first time I saw you." Moroso began to take the initiative. He even held Ilia's hand: "You are so beautiful, every man will fall for you."

Heart-warming.”

Illya was so happy that she almost fainted.

She wanted to live with this man, but she never expected that happiness would come to her in such a short period of time.

Moroso had already investigated it.

Illya doesn't have any relatives, so she doesn't have to worry about being questioned here.

Moreover, the people living on Swick Street are extremely indifferent and never care about their neighbors' affairs.

Even if two neighbors go out at the same time, they will not say hello.

But this is what Moroso values ​​most.

As long as he can successfully live here for a year, he will completely integrate with this place.

Everyone would assume that Mr. "Gesso" has lived here since he was a child.

There will be no more Moroso in this world.

Poor Illya, she never thought that she was just a tool.

…

Nadel Street.

When Jonathan appeared here, he couldn't help but marvel that this street was the most well-preserved during the war after being in Manila for so long.

First, there is no strategic value here. At that time, Iwabuchi didn't pay much attention to it at all and only arranged a small team here.

After the US military began to attack, the commander of the Japanese team quickly abandoned his position and moved in the face of the huge disparity in strength between the enemy and ourselves.

Therefore, Nadel Street has also been relatively completely preserved.

Even the US military plane only dropped one bomb here.

There are many shops here.

Moreover, most of them are opened by foreigners.

Before the Battle of Manila, Iwabuchi captured numerous hostages three times, including a large number of foreigners.

After being rescued by the US military, most of these foreigners returned to their own countries, but many others chose to stay.

They keenly grasped business opportunities.

In a city that has experienced war, what is the most important thing to face?

reconstruction!

During the reconstruction process, business opportunities poured out like a tide.

But in the process of becoming hostages, they had already lost all their property.

What should I do if I find a business opportunity but lack funds?

Soon, someone solved the problem for them.

Two American funds issued loans to any non-Filipino who was willing to play a part in rebuilding Manila.

These two companies are foundations controlled by Peng Bilan and Couston.

A large number of loans were issued.

Manila's economic lifeline is completely controlled by foreigners.

Peng Bilan and Coston's companies are also making huge profits from huge loans.

Together, these people became a giant beast, greedily enjoying the dividends from Manila's reconstruction process, and corruptly sucking the blood of Manilans.

But who cares?

It’s not like no knowledgeable people have seen this.

There is a Filipino economics professor named Bim Alota who loudly calls out that this situation must stop. Otherwise, the Philippines will not be able to have political or economic sovereignty for a long time to come.

Foreigners are tearing at Filipino flesh and blood.

The stronger they eat, the more scrawny the Philippines will become, eventually turning into a white skeleton!

It's a pity that his cry is like a mud cow drowning in the sea.

Ordinary Filipinos don't care about this at all. They only care about what they eat today and whether they can survive tomorrow.

And what about those high-level Filipinos?

They are nothing more than a bunch of running dogs of the Americans.

Do you want a lackey to turn against your master?

Professor Bim Alota finally adopted a method, sitting in front of the Malacañang Palace to hold a hunger strike, demanding that foreigners be driven out and industries controlled by foreigners be re-nationalized.

I have to say that such a professor is really too naive.
