After returning to the dormitory, Liu Da went to the bathroom to take a shower and his drunkenness disappeared.
The moment he saw Zhang Yibo, Liu Dacheng had the intention to kill him. After learning his address, he was even more determined to get rid of him in his dormitory.
However, things backfired
At around five o'clock in the evening, Zhang Yibo was picked up by Yoshida Masao's people. Standing in front of the window, Liu Chengda saw Zhang Yibo in a suit and leather shoes, with his hair combed to a shiny finish, and got into a Japanese military vehicle with Li Shiqun.
Where are they going? Liu Dacheng couldn't help but be stunned.
I have to admire that party and state cadres have an astonishing amount of alcohol. Zhang Yibo was obviously drunk, but only a short time had passed before he became energetic again.
Liu Chengda tried to call Hideko Kawashima. Hideko Kawashima answered the phone almost immediately and shouted excitedly: "Dacheng-kun, I was just about to call you. Teacher Kato Shinmi is here."
Yes, there will be a welcome banquet at the Imperial Hotel tonight. You can join us."
Kato Shinmi, Liu Chengcheng’s mentor!
Shinmi Kato is a professor at Waseda University, a medical scientist, and a biochemist. His professional level represents the highest level in the same industry in this era. I never expected that he would come to Shanghai on the eve of the Spring Festival.
"Miss Xiuzi, is my status suitable for you?"
As soon as Liu Dacheng finished speaking, an order came from the phone: "Come downstairs in ten minutes."
Suzuki Anshu, wearing a Japanese military uniform, poked his head out of the cab, showing an iconic smiling face. As soon as Liu Cheng got in the car, he handed him a pack of cigars and said with a smile: "Suzuki-kun, thank you for your hard work."
"It is the bounden duty of a soldier to obey orders. Miss Kawashima is my superior, so of course I listen to her."
Suzuki Anshu gave a "you know" look, which made Liu Dacheng's ears burn. In Suzuki Xingshu's eyes, he and his team leader had already been "that". As far as he knew, Liu Dacheng had been there for many years.
I stayed overnight at Hideko Kawashima's apartment for the first time.
At 6:30 in the evening, the welcome banquet was held as scheduled.
Dr. Shinmi Kato sat at the head of the table in the middle of the banquet hall. Next to him sat Tada Shun, Yoshida Masao, Ding Mo, Li Shiqun, Fu Xiaoan, Zhang Yibo, and several other high-ranking officials from the pseudo-city government.
The Japanese have a very strong sense of hierarchy. You sit in whatever position you are in. People like Kawashima Hideko and Liu Chengda can only serve as foils and sit in the corners. Kawashima Hideko has long been accustomed to this kind of hierarchical life.
, I didn’t feel anything wrong. But Liu Chengda felt uncomfortable being bound by this invisible shackle. Kato Shinmi is his mentor, can I take the initiative to say hello to him on this occasion?
When Liu Da reached a dilemma, something strange happened.
While Kato Shinmi was chatting and laughing with Commander Tada Shun, she accidentally glanced at Liu Dafa and saw his familiar face. She immediately picked up the wine glass and stood up from her seat: "Commander, I'll excuse you.
"
Kato Shinmi walked directly from her seat to Liu Chengda. This action can be said to amaze the whole audience. Almost at the same time, all the guests' eyes were cast towards Liu Chengda!
Behind Shinmi Kato are Jun Tada, Masao Yoshida, Ding Mo, Li Shiqun, Fu Xiaoan and other heavyweights!
Originally, Shinmi Kato was the protagonist, because he took the initiative to approach Liu Chengda, which suddenly turned Liu Chengda into the focus.
Liu Chengda picked up his wine glass, stood up fearfully, and shouted: "Teacher"
"Dai, I'm really happy to see you here!"
Kato Shinmi toasted to Liu Dacheng, and other heavyweight officials also toasted to him. Liu Dacheng was so anxious that he almost suffered internal injuries and shouted quickly: "Teacher Kato, the students toast you, and I wish you happiness and longevity!"
Seeing Liu Chengda's embarrassment, Kato Shinmi laughed heartily: "I am a student, smart, hard-working, and able to endure hardships, but I am too reserved. You and the teacher are so polite. Come, I still have an empty seat over there.
, let’s have a few drinks with the teacher.”
After saying that, he took Liu Tatashi's hand affectionately, as if he were raising a child. Masao Yoshio, who was originally sitting next to Kato Shinmi, took the initiative to vacate a seat and let Liu Tatashi sit next to Kato Shinmi. Tada Shun
Fill his glass with wine yourself.
There were twelve tables of guests in the entire banquet hall, from all walks of life in Japan and the puppets. Because of the arrival of Kato Shinmei, Liu Dacheng, who had always been unknown, became famous in one fell swoop.
All the distinguished guests who came to pay homage to Kato Shinmei must do so together with Liu Cheng, and then it was the turn of senior officials such as Tada Shun.
Liu Dacheng knew that this was the teacher's intention to elevate his status!
Kato Shinmi never imagined that his favorite student would not only be in Shanghai, but also attend his welcome banquet. He was completely unprepared for this unexpected encounter.
After the banquet was over, the dance followed.
There is a dance floor on the second floor of the Imperial Hotel, which can accommodate more than two hundred people dancing.
Liu Dacheng solemnly introduced Hideko Kawashima to Shinmi Kato. Shinmi Kato guessed a thing or two from the closeness between him and Hideko Kawashima. She seemed very happy and said "good" several times. Hideko Kawashima also warmly invited
Shinmi Kato dances.
Liu Dacheng was sitting on a wicker chair, drinking red wine and admiring the graceful dancing on the dance floor. He noticed that Zhang Yibo was simply a "dancing idiot". He always enthusiastically invited different women to dance.
Liu Dacheng silently thought, since dancing is Zhang Yibo's major hobby, it should also be his major weakness, can he make a fuss about it?
Kato Shinmi got tired of dancing, so he chatted with Liu Chengda. When he learned that Liu Chengda was still working as a team leader in the Operations Division at Agent 76 Headquarters, he felt a little unhappy on his face.
"Commander Shun Tada, Section Chief Yoshida, you can't waste your talents like this. Liu Dacheng is my most proud disciple, how can you let him do such a rough job?"
When Ding Mo and Li Shiqun heard this, they couldn't sit still. They quickly took the blame and apologized to Kato Shinmi repeatedly, saying that they would reuse Liu Dacheng.
Liu Dacheng said deliberately and humbly: "Teacher Kato, thank you for your praise. There are so many talents in Shanghai. As a scalpel operator, it would be great for me to have a job."
"No, absolutely not!" Kato Shinmi ignored her own face and shouted directly to Tada Shun: "Sir Tada, you are the commander of the military police and my closest student at Waseda University. You can't treat me like this.
disciple!"
Tada Shun also didn't expect that Liu Chengda would be so valued by Kato Shinmi, and he quickly said that he would follow up personally. Although the empire is rich in talents, it cannot be wasted casually.
Liu Dacheng was infected by Kato Shinmi's enthusiasm and persistence, and looked a little embarrassed. He casually glanced at the hall and saw Wang Zhongzhi!
At this time, Wang Zhongqing was wearing a suit and holding a glass of red wine, sitting in a corner and quietly sipping red wine.
