Hearing that this dance hall was so powerful, Liu Fu decided not to go out, so he went to the dance hall upstairs to see the foreign bosses and local swindlers. As soon as the group of people left the door of the suite, a waiter came up and asked
After sorting out the needs, he took everyone upstairs to the ballroom. Because Liu Fu lived in the most luxurious suite and ordered 3 suites at once, many things in the hotel were provided for free, including tickets to the ballroom.
.
Liu Fu personally gave the waiter a tip of 20 US dollars. He liked the feeling of making others happy. The waiter really satisfied Liu Fu. Although the waiter did not make a fuss or shed tears of gratitude, he just gave a standard bow.
Bow, but Liu Fu still saw the surprise and happiness in his eyes.
"Mr. Liu, let me do these things next time. The tip you just gave him is enough for him to stay in the steerage here for a week. Didn't you say not to attract other people's attention? It's difficult not to attract attention.
Pay attention." Hu Jintai watched the waiter walking down the stairs, and then whispered to Liu Fu who was feeling good about himself.
"Then I paid too much. You were right to remind me. I'll pay attention next time. Um...is the rent here very cheap?" Although Liu Fu liked this feeling, he valued his own safety more. Hearing Hu Jintai say
It made sense, so he nodded and agreed, but he felt that if this hotel was really the most expensive hotel in Shanghai as Hu Jintai said, then the room price should not be so cheap.
"This is really the best and most luxurious hotel in Shanghai. The room you are staying in once hosted US President Grant. If it weren't for Sandro Company's reputation, this room wouldn't be rentable. But there are rooms below the third floor.
Compared with the rooms in the building behind, the price is cheaper. It’s about 60 US dollars a month.” Hu Jintai replied in a low voice.[
"Oh... Then I gave you a little too much..."
"Two meals and afternoon tea are also included." Seeing Liu Fu anxiously doing self-examination, Hu Jintai added.
"Okay, okay, let's go in and take a look." Liu Fu almost choked and quickly changed the topic.
As the two waiters opened the two doors carved with Western mythological characters, a burst of familiar yet unfamiliar music and a warm, fragrant and sweet breath mixed with the smell of cigar smoke came to my face.
Familiar because Liu Fu succeeded him in later generations
As long as you have touched this kind of breath and smelled this kind of smell, it must mean that there are many women inside. He said it is unfamiliar because this kind of music is in Liu Fu's memory. It seems that he has only heard it in a few foreign movies.
I don’t know the melody, nor the title of the song.
The ballroom is really big, a bit like the ballroom in the famous Diplomatic Club in Beijing in the 1990s, even bigger than that. The ballroom is basically a U-shape. The walls and the two corners are all one by one.
The small round table can probably seat 4 people. It is covered with a uniform yellow and green checkered cloth. The side facing the door is the dance floor.
There, a pair of people were dancing happily inside. Liu Fu had never seen this kind of dance before. He couldn't tell what kind of dance it was, but Liu Fu judged from the dancing postures of those people that it must be this kind of dance.
It is a great exercise for the body, because two people hold each other with one hand, and their legs and feet are constantly busy, almost as frequently as aerobic exercise.
Seeing Liu Fu and his entourage enter the ballroom, two waiters immediately came forward and helped them take off their coats and hats, then took them to the cloakroom on one side, and then another waiter came up. He led everyone to the two
At a table against the wall.
"Let's go over there. There is a sofa somewhere. This kind of chair is not comfortable." Liu Fu did not sit down because he found that there were two rows of sofas facing each other in the corner of one side, with a long coffee table in the middle. So he faced the
Hu Jintai said, taking the lead to walk over.
"Let's sit over there..." Hu Jintai said to the waiter, then took two steps to catch up with Liu Fu.
"Gentlemen, this is a VIP seat. It is reserved for distinguished guests of the hotel. It is not open to the public at ordinary times." The waiter ran after him and saw Liu Fu and others already sitting on the sofa. He quickly hunched over.
Explaining.
"We won't stay long. Besides, it's empty. VIPs don't come every day." Liu Fu was staring at a red-haired pony jumping happily on the dance floor. Her white hair
The colored shirt can no longer withstand the raging waves, it is very eye-catching.
"I'm sorry, sir... I really don't dare to make the decision. If the manager sees it, my job will be ruined." The waiter took the 5-dollar bill that Hu Jintai gave him and said in embarrassment through gritted teeth.
"Okay, let's not embarrass him, let's go and sit on the chairs." Liu Fu didn't need to ruin the waiter's job just because of a sofa, and he didn't have the idea of stealing the limelight.
"..." Just when Liu Fu was about to get up and change places, a voice that he couldn't understand but clearly understood was in Chinese came from nearby, and then a middle-aged man in a black suit walked over quickly.
, and gave the waiter a scolding. The waiter explained a few words at first, and then he did not dare to speak.
"Don't blame him, we came here on our own. He is asking us to change places. Let's leave now." Liu Fu was filled with sympathy, stood up and came to the side of the black suit, patted him on the shoulder, and spoke to him in Chinese
Explaining.
"Don't do anything, okay? Just go and have fun. You don't have to worry about our affairs." What Liu Fu didn't expect was that the man in the black suit turned around and said something rude.
He ignored the words and turned around and left.
"This is your manager!" Liu Fu was past the age of getting angry over trivial matters. Although he was despised, he didn't take it seriously. He just had questions about the service quality of this hotel and turned to ask the waiter.
"No, he is Mr. Lu's follower. Mr. Lu will be coming soon, and he will come to stand in front of you. You guys can go and sit over there first. I have to clean up." The waiter answered a few words casually and walked over quickly.
Bar counter.
"Who is Mr. Lu?" The seven people came and sat down at three round tables by the wall. Liu Fu sat at the innermost table, and Hu Jintai sat at the same table with him.
"The son of Lu Yongxiang, the governor of Zhejiang, was very powerful. Two years ago, Huang Huangrong offended him and he was arrested and imprisoned for several days. Later, it was Du Yuesheng and Zhang Xiaolin who came forward and spent millions of dollars to redeem him." Hu Jintai
Tutoring Liu Fu about some Shanghai rumors.[
"Oh, you are still good at holding a gun. No matter how fierce the gangster is, he can't defeat the army. No need to be restrained. You can drink when you need to drink and dance when you need to. I can't just play casually. If you agree, I will also find a dance partner.
Yes, that red-haired Yangma is pretty good, right?" Liu Fu picked up the red wine on the table, took a sip, and said to Hu Jintai.
"Hehe... That's good, but you also know that we are disciplined. During the mission, we are not allowed to drink, let alone let you have casual contact with people." Hu Jintai said with a smile.
"Well, I set this discipline. In the end, it became a discipline for me to control myself. Oh, it's done. No need to pretend to be pitiful. Where do you plan to take us to go shopping tomorrow?" Liu Fu laughed at himself.
"Well, let's go to the concession tomorrow. There are many foreign embassies and foreign companies there, as well as good French restaurants." Hu Jintai said thoughtfully.
"We can't just walk around Shanghai, even if we drive around." Liu Fu was a little dissatisfied with Hu Jintai's arrangement. The embassies of various countries have something to see, and there are many French restaurants in Xiangyang City.
It's even more boring. The chef in Helena's family is French, so she can eat whenever she wants. The foreign store is just a dilapidated building, and it is a business, not a museum.
"Actually, if Shanghai were to leave the concession area, there would be nowhere to go. There wouldn't even be a decent road. Especially in this season, when it rains, the roads paved with gravel and mud will be filled with mud and water.
, it’s still very uneven, there are flies and mosquitoes everywhere, and the river water in the ditch is also very smelly. I don’t even know where to take you.” Seeing that the boss was a little dissatisfied, Hu Jintai quickly explained.
"You're going too far. You're treating me like a fool." Liu Fu became even more annoyed when he heard Hu Jintai's explanation. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote at Qidian.com, and vote monthly.
