313. A Circle (4/10)
After having a spicy and sucking delicious lunch, Qin Shiou and Winnie were in pain and happy. Liu Qing did not use American Chinese to fool the two of them. The method was pure Hunan cuisine, which was so spicy.
After lunch and resting for a while, Yan Donglei asked Liu Qing to take them to Captain James Cook Hall.
This synagogue is located on the east side of the top of the grow-hill, covering an area of about five or six thousand square meters, with very good greening. The building is surrounded by lush spruce, red maple and other trees, which have a very original flavor.
To the west of the venue is Captain James Cook, the most famous tourist attraction in Konabrook, the National Historic Site. A little further forward is a valley. If you climb up and look far, you can see the beautiful scenery of the valley by standing at the entrance of the hall.
When Qin Shiou and others arrived, many luxury cars were already parked in the square in front of the hall, such as BMW 760, Mercedes-Benz S series, Audi R8, Maserati President, Porsche Cayenne, etc. The luxurious Cadillac President One can only be regarded as an ordinary Volkswagen here.
"We Chinese are really rich." Qin Shiou sighed at the BMW on the left and Porsche on the right.
Liu Qing in the back seat smiled and said, "The main reason is that Canadian cars are cheaper, and the more luxurious cars are, the cheaper the greater the price than in China. So many of our compatriots come to Canada and have all gotten luxury cars. Anyway, the cars they drive in China are more expensive than they are now, and they are not as luxurious as they are."
After getting off the car, Qin Shiou saw someone standing together in groups of three or three and discussing. The atmosphere on the scene was no different from that of ordinary parties, but everyone dressed more formally.
As for the scene where he expected a big red banner at the door or someone shouted the slogan of anti-Japanese and national salvation, it never appeared from beginning to end, which made him, the little angry young man, feel a little regretful.
After Liu Qing got off the car, someone greeted him. Qin Shiou didn't know anyone, but these people were very friendly. After he and Winnie got off the car, they took the initiative to come up and talk to each other and introduce their identities.
After chatting with these people for a while, Qin Shiou said to Liu Qing: "Our compatriots are quite enthusiastic. I thought that if I come like a stranger, I will be excluded."
Liu Qing was the kind of outspoken Hunan Province man, and said, "How could it be that President Yan personally went to pick you up and had dinner with you. From this point of view, they knew that you were very good. They only know that you are good at making friends with you, and they can't ignore you."
Qin Shiou felt a cold sweat in his heart. The Chinese people's ability to observe words and expressions should be in the leading position in the international field.
At half past one, the group entered the venue one after another and began the first project of the party.
This conference has little to do with Qin Shiou. First, it introduces some achievements made by the Canadian Chinese Mutual Aid Association in the past year, and then the theme is to tell the development of Chinese people in Newfoundland-Labrador Province in local education, economy, politics, etc., and finally discloses the use of the Mutual Aid Association Development Fund.
This mutual aid association development fund is the parent of the proceeds from the auction tonight. Every income and expenditure is clear. At the meeting, anyone can ask questions to the financial director. The amount accuracy reaches RMB 100 million. There will definitely be no corruption, misappropriation, etc.
Qin Shiou has not been interested in meetings since he was a child. After graduation, he was tortured by meetings such as CNOOC for four years. So during this meeting, he held his mobile phone and chatted with his domestic classmates and friends.
It is already early in the country, but most people are night owls. As soon as Qin Shiou appears, a group of diving classmates emerge.
Mao Weilong shook his head and cursed that people were so heartbroken these days. Qin Shiou posted several angry expressions in succession and asked Mao Weilong who posted some of his private information on Weibo.
When it comes to Weibo, several classmates encouraged him to apply for a Weibo account. It may not be possible that he will become a big v in the future.
Qin Shiou was not interested, his goal was to simply live his own small life. What is being a rich man, a big V, or a celebrity was not within his life.
In the second half of the night, Qin Peng suddenly appeared and asked, "Xiaoou, the uncle said you are going to come back next week?"
The "uncle" in Qin Peng's mouth is Qin Shiou's father. Their family has a high generation. Although Qin Peng is as big as Qin Shiou, he can call his uncle Qin Shiou's father the grandfather according to his generation.
Qin Shiou said: "It's almost the same. When you go home for the Mid-Autumn Festival, how are you doing recently? Why are you still online at this time?"
Qin Peng smiled silly and said, "My wife is having a date for the past two days. I am afraid something will happen to me at night, so I will take a nap during the day and stay awake at night."
Qin Shiou sighed: "Damn, I'm going to be a grandpa right away? Oh my god, time is like water, brother, I still remember the scene when we went to Bailong River to catch fish with our bare butts in elementary school."
Qin Peng said speechlessly, "Look at your name, your generation is chaotic. Also, my son can't call you grandpa in the future. He will talk about his generation with your parents, and then talk about our feelings with you."
The two of them had a lot of fun chatting. Qin Shiou didn't know what they said at the meeting, but he knew that the tea party was about to start when his phone was about to run out of battery.
The tea party was transferred again and went to a small hall at the Winston Wooden Boat Hotel, where coffee, juice, tea, mineral water and other drinks were prepared. In addition, fruits, cakes, biscuits and other snacks were also available, which was carried out according to the afternoon tea model.
Qin Shiou was personally brought by Yan Donglei and introduced some people to him: "This is Mr. Kangsheng Inoki, the chief mechanical engineer of a large paper mill. This is Mr. Akita Guan Gu, the owner of Akanokawa Cuisine..."
After hearing the introduction, Qin Shiou was surprised. Why are there Japanese people there? However, it is not suitable to ask questions at this time, so he shook hands with these people one by one with a smile on his face and exchanged business cards.
Kangsheng Jingzhishang is a bald middle-aged man in his forties. When Yan Donglei introduced him, he bowed 90 degrees and then handed his business card respectfully with both hands.
Qin Shiou had no choice but to bow heavily. The Japanese behind him still bowed, and he could only keep bowing, as if he was attending the funeral of his leader.
After checking the business cards of these people, Qin Shiou saw that Kang Sheng from Jingzhishang was the mechanic of the "large paper mill". Then he realized that the so-called large paper mill is not a synonym. The name is that, and it is one of the four major super paper mills in North America, with business covering the world.
After introducing these people, Yan Donglei asked in a considerate voice: "Are you wondering if there are Japanese people on the 918th anniversary party?"
Qin Shiou also whispered: "Are these pro-Chinese Japanese people?"
Yan Donglei smiled and said, "You kid is so smart. Yes, they are all pro-Chinese Japanese. Every year on the 918th anniversary, the Japanese will come to participate to reflect on the war and alert future generations. Of course, they also want to take the opportunity to public relations and develop connections."
Qin Shiou felt that the latter was their purpose. Will the Japanese reflect on the war of aggression against China? Damn it, he didn't believe it. If you really want to alert future generations, then don't beautify the war and tamper with textbooks. (To be continued)
