November 8, 1938, evening, 7 o'clock.

Chongguang Hall.

Tonight, Kenji Doihara hosted a special banquet to entertain the special envoy from Chongqing:

Meng Baifeng!

Today, except for Kenji Doihara, all the guests are Chinese.

Meng Baifeng, Miao Chengfang, Tian Qi, Li Shiqun.

"Everyone."

Kenji Doihara was in high spirits: "Mr. Shiqun came to Shanghai. Due to his busy official duties at the time, I never properly greeted him. Today, Mr. Meng has also come to Shanghai. It just so happens that I can host a banquet to wish China the best."

With the goodwill between Japan and Japan, the ***** circle will be realized as soon as possible!"

"Long live the Sino-Japanese friendship, the ***** circle!"

Several Chinese people raised their wine cups together.

A completely Japanese banquet.

Individual drinks and dishes were placed in front of each person.

"Director Miao, you don't look happy?"

Kenji Doihara paid attention to details.

"Your Excellency, Director of the agency, I can't be happy." Miao Chengfang sighed: "I have no money!"

Doihara Kenji couldn't laugh or cry.

After the money was robbed, Miao Chengfang stared at him every day asking for money.

But the problem is that I still have no way to reprimand him.

He smiled bitterly: "Director Miao, don't worry, the newly mobilized funds are already on the way, and nothing will happen this time."

After saying that, I was afraid that he would continue to ask questions, so I clapped my hands.

Five geishas came out.

Then, amid the music, the geisha danced a Japanese dance.

Doihara Kenji watched it with great interest.

Tian Qi felt like yawning.

Meng Baifeng watched intently.

"It is said that Mr. Meng is a romantic and talented man." Li Shiqun, who was sitting not far from him, suddenly said: "Is Mr. Meng interested in someone else?"

"Haha, Mr. Shiqun knows my heart well." Meng Baifeng said with a smile: "I like all five of them. I am very decisive in everything else, but when it comes to choosing women, I love all the beautiful ones."

Li Shiqun said "Haha": "That's difficult. Your Excellency Doihara thinks so highly of Mr. Meng. When the time comes, let him give the order and he will accompany you."

"Hey, it's romantic but not vulgar. It's really romantic." Meng Baifeng said sternly: "When you give an order, you are using force. Mr. Shiqun knows a lot about Japan, and he also knows that this Japanese geisha, although

It also has the word prostitute, but the meaning is quite different. If you want them to be willing to accompany you, they must agree to it themselves."

"Mr. Meng is very knowledgeable and I admire him very much."

"I don't have to be modest about this." Meng Baifeng said nonchalantly: "In addition to my deep understanding of Japanese culture, I am also proficient in Chinese, Japanese, and English. I can converse in French and Latin, and I know a little bit of German."

"Amazing, amazing." Li Shiqun gave a thumbs up.

He knew that Wang Jingwei liked Meng Baifeng very much, and he deliberately got close to him today.

In the future, Wang Jingwei will form a new government sooner or later with the support of the Japanese. Whether he can gain huge rights in it, Meng Baifeng may play a big role.

After the song ended, applause broke out.

The five geishas had already received their orders and sat down next to each of them consciously.

"Wait a minute."

Meng Baifeng suddenly said: "I want her to accompany me."

He was referring to the geisha who was about to sit next to Kenji Doihara.

"Oh, why?" Doihara Kenji asked with great interest.

"When we were dancing just now, she looked at me three times in total." Meng Baifeng smiled and said, "What's your name?"

He spoke pure Japanese.

That skill pursed his lips and smiled: "My name is Yamashita Shoyoko."

Meng Baifeng acted as if no one else was around and just looked at Chudaizi: "Tell them, do you like me?"

Good guy, that's so direct, isn't it?

Meng Baifeng's eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts: "Wen Huan went down to Yangzhou and saw each other off at the top of Chushan Mountain. He put his hands around his waist and looked, and saw that the river was not flowing. Come on, come on, Chudaizi, why do I need to come to Shanghai?

I'm in a hurry to see you off. Let me hold your waist and I'll take you to see the Huangpu River at night!"

He was already handsome and personable, and he seemed to have magical powers when he spoke. Chudaizi actually walked up to Meng Baifeng and sat down next to him.

Meng Baifeng picked up the wine cup and brought it to Chudaizi's mouth, and Chudaizi took a sip.

Then, Meng Baifeng did not shy away, raised the cup and drank it all in one gulp, laughing "haha": "Drinking a drink with a beautiful woman, if you kiss her lips, how lucky and wonderful it is!"

Kenji Doihara couldn't help but applaud: "Now I know what a romantic celebrity is. With every gesture, we can make our great beauty, the first son, serve you willingly. Who can do that except Meng Baifeng?"

"What kind of war do you want?" Meng Baifeng really hugged Chudaizi's waist: "If I have a beauty, it's like I own the world."

"Okay!" Doihara Kenji raised his glass again: "When the ***** circle is realized, I will help you find as many beauties as you want! Cheers!"

"Doihara-kun, don't forget these words, cheers!"

It's really fun.

This is the first time for Tian Qi to see Meng Baifeng.

"Mr. Tian, ​​please have some wine."

The geisha next to him picked up the jug and poured wine for him.

Tian Qi moved slightly: "Thank you."

His mind was not on drinking at all.

Here comes another traitor.

A different kind of traitor.

You have to admit that this is a really charming person.

"Director Miao, Deputy Director Tian, ​​Mr. Shiqun."

Ken Doihara returned to the subject: "The situation in Shanghai has changed too much at present. What are your opinions?"

The plan for Pinpoint against Maimang was drawn up by Li Shiqun. He quickly said: "Before, I had anticipated that today's situation would happen. My opinion is to continue to persevere and never take a step back. Kill to stop killing.

Unwavering!"

"What do Deputy Director Tian mean?" Kenji Doihara turned his attention to Tian Qi again.

"Mr. Li Shiqun's plan is feasible." Tian Qi blurted out: "But the consequences are something we have never thought of before. Mr. Li Shiqun, please don't be angry about what I am going to say next. I know that you once worshiped Ji Yunqing as your teacher.

, but Ji Yunqing is a very complicated person, and both cases are related to him."

"It's nothing more than frame-up." Li Shiqun said nonchalantly.

"Maybe." Tian Qi said coldly: "But when a person is used by opponents again and again, then this person will become one of the links among us that is most easily broken through."

"Perhaps, this is what the military commander wants to see." Li Shiqun argued: "We want to control the Shanghai Public Settlement, and Ji Yunqing is definitely a very important chess piece. I am not saying this because of my special relationship with him.

If we adopt an attitude of distrust now, it will only help the military commander and put us at a disadvantage."

Tian Qisi was unwilling to give in: "Shanghai Tang can not only rely on Ji Yunqing, but also Zhang Xiaolin. Even if there is no one, we can still establish another person. Mr. Li Shiqun, you said you have no selfish motives, I don't think that is necessarily the case.

?Ji Yunqing's existence may not be beneficial to us, but it will be of great benefit to you without any harm."

"Deputy Director Tian, ​​what do you mean by this?" Li Shiqun became a little angry.

The two people were talking to each other, and they were fighting each other, and the smell of gunpowder gradually became stronger.

But at this time, Meng Baifeng and Shodaizi were feeding me a sip of wine and I'd feed you a sip of food, and they were whispering to each other, completely indifferent to what was happening.

Kenji Doihara listened with great interest and had no intention of stopping them at all.

The way to employ people is to have two subordinates who compete with each other, so that all the energy in them can be released.

Tian Qi is a capable person, and Li Shiqun is also a capable person.

Two capable people cannot join forces.

"Okay." Miao Chengfang interrupted the argument in time: "Everyone has his own opinion, and there will be no result in arguing. Who is right and who is wrong will always be proven."

"Yes, yes." Doihara Kenji also took the opportunity to say: "But I believe that both Deputy Director Tian and Mr. Shiqun are wholeheartedly thinking about peace between China and Japan. I hope that in the days to come,

, you can cooperate sincerely with each other. There will always be arguments, but I don’t think this will affect our career!”
