As night falls, just when most people have finished their intense work all day, the day of the "Tom" docked at the customs dock seems to have just begun.
The colorful light bars surrounding the ship's hull are combined with the huge flashing neon signs. Against the backdrop of the clear light of the stars and the moon, the entire pier is rendered colorful.
As time went by, more and more guests arrived, and the unloading area originally used to temporarily store goods at the dock had to be changed into a temporary parking lot, which was soon filled with all kinds of high-end cars.
, like a small international auto expo.
"Good guy! Isn't it just a new product launch conference? How could it be such a grand event? Ming Cousin, is this something wrong?" Mingtai couldn't help but say as soon as he got off the car.
Before he could finish his words, Minglou hit him on the head.
"Children, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand! Don't forget that our Ming family is playing the leading role today. I don't know how many pairs of eyes are watching our every move, overtly or covertly, so be honest when we get up, otherwise be careful
I will report you to my eldest sister when I get back!"
"I know! You've said this three or four times along the way. Are you annoyed?" Mingtai curled his lips and said impatiently.
After saying that, he walked straight towards the "Tom".
"Look, just say a few words to him. I really can't control him anymore." After saying this, Minglou glanced at Li Qiang who was standing aside calmly. After seeing him nodding slightly, he felt relieved.
Come on, follow me quickly.
Although the "Tom" is a gambling boat, at the beginning of the renovation, a large enough space was reserved and converted into a high-end banquet hall with extremely complete supporting facilities. Its decoration is no less luxurious than that of the concession.
Any hotel and high-end club within.
And more importantly, because this is the territory of the Special Higher Education Course, if you don't have enough background, even if you have money, you may not be able to rent the venue here.
"Brother Mingtang, congratulations, business is booming!" As soon as they entered the banquet hall, Minglou and his brothers immediately came to Mingtang and congratulated him.
"You guys are here!" Mingtang, who was dressed in fine clothes, nodded in response at first, then frowned involuntarily and asked, "Why are you the only ones, where is the eldest sister?"
"Early the day before yesterday, news came from my old house in Suzhou that there was a fire in the warehouse, so my eldest sister hurried over."
"There's a fire in the old house? This is not a good sign!" Mingtang couldn't help but pondered after hearing this, "How is the situation? Is it serious?"
"Don't worry, Cousin Ming. Although the fire broke out, it was quickly extinguished. Apart from the loss of a little inventory, it did not cause much damage and no casualties."
"That's good, that's good." After hearing this, Mingtang felt relieved and continued, "Minglou, although my eldest sister has always been in charge of business matters, but she is not here today, so I can only
It’s up to you to do the work for you. Let’s go and go socialize with me first.”
After saying that, he looked at Li Qiang and others, "As for you, just do what you want, you are all family members, so I can't greet you well."
However, before he finished speaking, a slightly hoarse female voice rang out, "General Manager Ming, if you didn't inform me about such an important event as holding a new product launch conference, wouldn't you be too unfriendly?"
As soon as these words came out, they immediately attracted the attention of everyone nearby. The person who spoke was a Japanese woman wearing a kimono and wearing wooden clogs. There were two followers behind her, standing there with a smile and an imposing manner.
Complete.
When he saw that person, Li Qiang's expression immediately changed. When Minglou saw this, he immediately blocked him behind him and asked softly: "What's wrong, do you know that woman?"
Li Qiang nodded quickly and said with difficulty: "Of course I know you! This person is Kawashima Yoshiko's rival, and even the Japanese female agent who has the potential to replace her, Nakajima Nariko!"
"What did you say? She is Nakajima Nariko?" Minglou had obviously heard of this name, so he quickly frowned and continued, "As far as I know, shouldn't she be in Tianjin now? When did she come to Shanghai?
?”
"Who knows? Maybe it has something to do with the Qingdao talks or Wang Jingwei's upcoming plan to 'return the capital to Nanjing'!"
Just as he was saying this, an energetic voice sounded, and Yingzuo Zhenzhao, who was dressed in military uniform, walked over and said, "Miss Nariko misunderstood. This is not because General Manager Ming did it deliberately, but because I heard that you guys did it some time ago.
There was a lot of unpleasantness between them, so we arranged it this way."
"Major General Yingzuo's kindness is appreciated by Nariko, but I've already come here, so you can't just let me go back like this!"
"That's of course. Since Miss Nariko has sincerely come to support her, we, as the hosts, naturally have no reason to drive them away. We only hope that Miss Nariko can return home tonight with great pleasure."
"Don't worry, Major General, I'm not here to cause trouble."
"It's best this way, then... I have something else to do, you guys can talk." After saying that, Yingzuo Zhenzhao gave Mingtang a reassuring look, and then walked away.
"General Manager Ming, no wonder you were so tough when I was talking about cooperation with you. After a long dispute, it turned out that you had found the military as your backer. It seems that this little girl is really blind. Please explain where you offended me."
General manager Duoduo Hanhan!"
Mingtang never expected that the Japanese woman in front of him, who originally made him feel extremely difficult to deal with, would have a 180-degree change in his attitude towards him after seeing Ying Zuo Zhenzhao stand up for him.
He couldn't help but feel a little dumbfounded.
But even so, Mingtang still waved his hand very generously, "Miss Nariko, there is no need to be like this. As the saying goes, those who don't know are not to blame. Since it is a misunderstanding, as long as we talk about it, it will be fine."
However, watching helplessly as the two of them changed from tit-for-tat to current harmony, Minglou frowned unconsciously. You must know that an arrogant and powerful enemy is not scary, but an enemy who is flexible and flexible and knows how to tolerate.
That's the scariest thing.
Based on this alone, Minglou somewhat understood why Kawashima Yoshiko regarded her as his fierce rival.
At this moment, Li Qiang came over and whispered to Minglou: "Brother, the purpose of Nakajima Nariko's trip may not be that simple. Should Minglou's actions be postponed..."
"I don't think it's necessary." Minglou thought quickly for a while and said, "If you don't muddy the water, you won't be able to see the true intention hidden under the sand."
Li Qiang nodded quickly after hearing this, and then took a glass of champagne from the waiter who happened to be passing by. Then he pretended to be nonchalant and walked to Mingtai. He lowered his voice and said to him: "Start taking action."
