"Lao Zhou has spoken. In order to welcome the friends who have just joined the salon, as per the old rules, all admissions are free before 12 o'clock tonight!"
As soon as the foreman finished speaking, a deafening cheer erupted from the dance floor downstairs. Several box doors upstairs were also pushed open, and several foreigners stretched out their heads and looked outside.
"Let's sing! Let's dance! Tonight is a sea of joy! Now I invite Miss Emma, a mezzo-soprano singer from Paris, France, to sing the classic song for everyone: Tu~Landot!"
The foreman sounded with a slightly tongue-in-cheek voice, and there was another loud cheer. Even the few British people who were equally reserved raised their wine glasses and whispered: "cheers."
"Manager Zhou, the results are good!" the foreman walked into Geng Chaozhong's office excitedly and reported to him.
"It's free, and the effect is naturally good." Geng Chaozhong glanced at the foreman who was hired from Shanghai with a high salary, "Remember, after 12 o'clock, you will be charged as usual. Make sure it is accurate. If you want to reduce the fee like last time, you
Just go back to Shanghai!"
"Don't worry, boss!"
The foreman put his arms across his waist, gave Geng Chaozhong a Western-style bow, and then left.
"Brother Six, what should we do next?" Wang Jianqiu came out from behind.
Until now, he doesn't know what kind of medicine Sixth Brother sells in his gourd, but one thing is certain, the time to take action must be before the end of the banquet tonight!
"Don't worry, once the fish bites the hook, you won't be afraid of it running away..." Geng Chaozhong smiled gloomily, took out two bottles of foreign wine from under the drawer, and handed them over, "Change these two bottles of wine to that one
In Takeuchi's room, be careful, don't be anxious, wait until after 10 o'clock, and then change him if he drinks too much, do you understand?"
"Understood," Wang Jianqiu took the bottle, thought for a moment, and said hesitantly: "Brother Six, isn't your target Kawasaki? Why do you want to attack Takeuchi again?"
"No, my target is not Kawasaki, Takeuchi is." Geng Chaozhong smiled mysteriously.
Wang Jianqiu didn't want to ask anymore, so he took the wine bottle and walked quickly.
.........
In the private room on the second floor, Kawasaki Masaaki and Shirome stood in front of the window of the private room, listening to the mezzo-soprano's passionate and penetrating voice. The voice was so beautiful that it made those who have always studied Western operas
Even Kawasaki, a layman, could tell that this singer was obviously not ordinary. Only the driver brought by Kawasaki remained at the door and remained silent.
After singing the song, Bai Mu still closed his eyes, as if he was reminiscing about the beauty of the singing. After a long time, he woke up from the singing, glanced at Kawasaki standing next to him, and said with shame:
"Search, my subordinate has lost his temper."
"Shirome, I didn't expect you to be interested in opera." Kawasaki was not impressed at all.
"Search, my subordinate once participated in an opera club in school when he was young, and he also has a certain understanding of opera." Bai Mu said.
"It's a pity that no one invited me to join when I was in school." Kawasaki sighed.
"Search, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to mention this." Baime apologized quickly.
He knew that the section chief was born as a civilian. Although he relied on his outstanding ability to become the section chief of the special higher education course in Peiping, he was not very impressive when he was young and went to the most ordinary military academy. What he said just now,
It obviously hurt the section chief's self-esteem.
Thinking of this, Byakume felt even more ashamed. He was about to open his mouth to continue apologizing, but Kawasaki waved his hand to stop Byakume and said:
"Since His Majesty Meiji formulated the national policy of leaving Asia and joining Europe, many of our soldiers and diplomats have been deeply influenced by Europe. Even the most outstanding 'Sanyu Karasu' of our Imperial Army was founded in a European club. It is a pity that
Yes, I only went to the most ordinary military school, but I didn’t have the opportunity to work with the top students from the Imperial Army University.”
"Toyotomi Hideyoshi also came from a humble background." Baime quickly added.
"Yes, you are right," Kawasaki smiled, "There is an old saying in China, 'Heroes do not ask where they come from.' When we look at the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Liu Bei is just a mat weaver and shoe seller, so Bai Mu, you don't have to think
It's a pity. In fact, I am very grateful for my previous experience, which allows me to see some things that others cannot see. "
"Hey Yi, thank you section chief for your teaching," Bai Mu bent down, glanced at the round table dance that was still being performed downstairs, and asked, "section chief, how long do we have to stay here?"
"Uh..." Kawasaki pondered and looked at the huge clock downstairs. The clock had already pointed to seven o'clock, but there was still quite a while before the banquet that Manager Zhou mentioned just now was over. He was
Hesitating whether to wait that long.
However, seeing Bai Mu's eager expression in a blink of an eye, he immediately made up his mind - the life in the station was too boring, and it was a rare opportunity for him and Bai Mu to relax. Moreover, what Manager Zhou said, he must feel
The “gift” of interest.
"Wait until the banquet is over, it's a rare trip," Kawasaki smiled and glanced at Baime, "Today is not a mission, you can relax, as long as you don't get drunk."
"Then shall we go with Mr. Takeuchi?" Baime asked again.
"Forget it, I'm afraid Takeuchi-kun doesn't like to drink with me." Kawasaki looked at Takeuchi's room opposite, and there was a burst of laughter from inside. Apparently, Takeuchi was busy hunting for women and had no time to take care of it.
Kawasaki's eyes turned to Boss Zhou's office again. Boss Zhou happened to be standing in front of the window enjoying the dance music downstairs. When he saw Kawasaki's eyes coming over, he raised the wine glass in his hand and saluted Kawasaki.
Kawasaki raised his glass in return and suddenly thought, there is still a long time until the end of the banquet, why not take this opportunity to have a good chat with Boss Zhou?
Thinking of this, Kawasaki turned to Baime and said: "Baime, you can move around freely tonight. I'll go talk to Boss Zhou."
"This..." Baime hesitated for a moment.
"I'll just ask Yanagawa to accompany me." Kawasaki pointed to the driver and bodyguard who had been standing at the door.
"Okay." Bai Mu agreed.
Since its establishment, this salon has been visited by celebrities from all over the world, and there has never been any bad incident. What's more, I believe that with Yanagawa's skills, no one can defeat the section chief.
Kawasaki smiled, raised his glass, and walked quickly to Geng Chaozhong's office.
"Mr. Kawasaki, you don't seem to have any patience?!" Geng Chaozhong smiled when he saw Kawasaki approaching.
"No, Mr. Zhou misunderstood, I just want to chat with you for a few words," Kawasaki smiled and shook his head, "As for your gift, although I am very interested, I am not in a hurry."
"That's good. I happen to have nothing to do, so let's go in and have a chat?" Geng Chaozhong spread his hands and pointed to his office.
