Chapter 245: The Shenzhen-Hong Kong Taipan III with Amnesia
In the area around Han Shengtai's Wudao Sword Hall, in addition to the Window of the World and the Folk Culture Village, there are also many modern tourist attractions such as the Huaxia Art Center, OCT Sports Center, Creative Culture Park, and Happy Valley.
It's a spring night, and OCT is brightly lit and colorful. Every corner you can see is packed with tourists, bathing in the gentle and humid sea breeze of Shenzhen Bay.
Han Shengtai, Hua Nianping, Li Li, and his sister Han Shengmei had a seafood barbecue, and while enjoying the wine, they invited everyone to visit his Wudao Sword Hall.
As the elevator ascended to the fifth floor, you were faced with a Japanese-style decoration. You could hear the crisp sound of "crackling" sword strikes, as well as the sudden burst of sharp shouts from the students.
Among the several people, Li Li drank the most tonight. In addition to two large glasses of Hennessy XO, she also drank a few more bottles of beer with Han Shengtai.
She shouted that she had studied foil fencing for several months when she was in Sri Lanka, and she insisted that Han Shengtai find a coach to come over and compete.
Han Shengtai was delighted to see Li Li's interest and immediately ordered someone to take her to the locker room to change, and then invited a Japanese coach.
However, the coach was sitting cross-legged in a wheelchair.
After a while, when Li Li was fully dressed in military uniform, wearing a professional white fencing uniform, face shield and gloves, she came out with a foil sword in high spirits. However, when she saw that her opponent was actually a paralyzed man who was half shorter, she felt a little uncomfortable.
Happy.
"Shengtai, you underestimate me!"
Li Li shouted.
Han Shengtai smiled and said nothing.
The Japanese coach could hear the contempt for him in Li Li's words, but he didn't seem to care.
I saw him first stretching his neck, bowing deeply to Li Li, and then shouted "Hai" and reminded: "Miss, please be on guard, Mizoguchi Shunji is about to attack!"
It turns out that the Japanese coach who was paralyzed in a wheelchair was named Mizoguchi Shunji.
Li Li was frightened by the Japanese man's sudden "Hai" and took a few steps back. Realizing that the attacker was not malicious, she quickly opened her stance and prepared to defend.
"Hai" is an indispensable opening cry for almost all Japanese people in various competition situations.
Hua Nianping and Han Shengmei really didn't expect that although Mizoguchi Shunji was slumped in a wheelchair, he could jump freely, advance, retreat, and spin effortlessly, and he could swing his sword at Li Li like rain.
In less than two minutes, even though Li Li was jumping around, the electric referee device on her fencing uniform still turned on the red light several times.
"How can Miss only defend but not attack!"
Mizoguchi Shunji shouted loudly.
When Li Li heard this, she couldn't help but arouse a fierce anger in her heart. No matter how many times her fencing uniform would be poked by Toshio Mizoguchi, she just kept throwing herself at him in turn. However, after fighting for dozens of rounds,
Unexpectedly, the sword did not hit the opponent.
It wasn't until she finally ran out of energy that she lay weakly on the floor, took off her mask, and panted heavily with sweat, then finally said to Mizoguchi Shunji: "I'm convinced, Master!"
After Li Li changed her clothes, Han Shengtai led a few people to the guest room to take a short rest while he went to conduct a Japanese-style tea ceremony.
The layout of the reception room is simple and elegant. There is a tea stove in the middle, and there are several low sofas and cushions around it, which is quite like a Japanese tea room.
But Hua Nianping noticed that a very eye-catching frame was embedded on the front wall of the house and was covered with a layer of glass to prevent dust from intruding.
Inside the frame, there is an exquisite old-style cane, made of fragrant sandalwood, in deep purple-black color. The handle on the top of the cane is bright and shiny, as if it is made of pure silver, and there is a round hanging
The copper ring. The bottom one centimeter of the cane is made of steel, which is very strong and durable.
Hua Nianping judged that this cane was very similar to Mr. Zhongshan's in those days. It was a status symbol that accompanied him everywhere and contained many years of historical stories. It must be a rare and precious collection of Han Shengtai's Wudao Sword Hall.
.
After a while, Han Shengtai brought in a female tea master wearing a Japanese kimono. Mizoguchi Shunji also accepted his invitation and came with him to enjoy the tea.
In Japan, tea ceremony is a kind of spiritual cultivation and a noble art, with a complete set of procedures for lighting charcoal fire, boiling water, making tea and tasting tea.
Li Li took this opportunity to serve tea to Shunji Mizoguchi and asked seriously about the essentials of foil fencing. She mentioned that the person who took her to practice fencing in Sri Lanka was a famous coach from the UK.
"Who is the British coach? Mr. Mizoguchi in front of us has won the title of Paralympic runner-up in the international epee competition!" Han Shengtai said, "But even though he was the runner-up, he also ranked first."
"I won the first place, how can I be the runner-up?" Han Shengmei said in surprise.
"It's tragic," Han Shengtai said, "because in the competition for the championship and runner-up in that epee competition, Mr. Mizoguchi's sword was too violent. After his opponent was hit one after another, he suddenly sprayed in the middle of the competition.
A mouthful of blood came out and he died accidentally on the spot."
He added, "Mr. Mizoguchi felt guilty about this, so he took the initiative to retreat to the runner-up position and gave the championship title to the deceased."
After hearing Han Shengtai's thrilling description, Hua Nianping, Han Shengmei and Li Li all sighed with admiration for Mizoguchi Shunji.
Han Shengtai also introduced that in his five-way swordsmanship hall, Mizoguchi Shunji is a paralytic who sits in a wheelchair all year round, but he is proficient in kendo, archery, wando, aikido, and Iaido.
An all-around coach.
"When I'm done with this period of work, I will definitely come over and worship Mr. Mizoguchi as my teacher!"
Li Li said.
"Brother Nianping, I hope you can take time to come with Sister Li Li." Han Shengtai invited Hua Nianping, "This is not only a fighting technique, but also beneficial to physical fitness."
"I'm afraid my physical condition is very inappropriate." Hua Nianping shook his head and refused.
"Mr. Mizoguchi is half paralyzed. He is worse than you. Why should you feel ashamed?" Han Shengmei advised, "It just so happens that Sister Li Li can come with you."
"Why do you want me to accompany you?" Li Li hurriedly waved her hand and said to Han Shengmei, "You and Nianping are destined to be a couple. It is Shengmei's responsibility to take care of him anytime and anywhere."
She then smiled deliberately and said, "Besides, Tan Qibao has been calling me in the past two days. He is expected to come soon. I don't want him to have any misunderstandings."
"Tan Qibao," Hua Nianping looked at Li Li in surprise, and immediately thought of the thin man with a sharp face who had dinner with him at noon. "You and him?"
"Tan Qibiao is my fiancé!" Li Li replied bluntly.
"Didn't you say that you and him have broken up for many years?" Han Shengmei stared at Li Li doubtfully, unable to believe that what she said was the truth.
Many years ago, in order to rely on Uncle Tan Qibiao's personnel connections to send her younger brother to work in the Zhongwan Engineering Bureau of a central enterprise, Li Li accepted Tan Qibiao's emotional pursuit and lived an intermittent life with him in Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and other places.
Living together continuously.
Later, when he learned that the two of them had completely broken up due to a disagreement, Han Xicheng hired Li Li back to the Walter Group with a large sum of money and became the company's financial director.
"I was in Hong Kong and Kowloon at noon today, and I had dinner at the same table with Brother Tan. He is a friend of Mr. Li Zhiyue, and the two of them seem to have a close relationship."
Hua Nianping Road.
Now, since Li Li personally heard that Tan Qibiao was her boyfriend, she immediately changed the title to "Brother Tan" to show cordiality and respect.
"Li Zhiyue?" Han Shengmei thought thoughtfully and reminded Hua Nianping, "I heard that he is a radical figure in Hong Kong and Kowloon and is good at confusing students."
Hua Nianping felt a thump in his heart, thinking that fortunately, in the letter of intent signed in the afternoon, he only agreed to transfer one-third of the equity of the "New Sun and Moon" electronic newspaper to Li Zhiyue.
Li Li also revealed to Hua Nianping that Zhu Shangbiao and Li Zhiyue had been dating for a long time. She and Zhu Shangbiao had also accompanied his boss Lu Zhichao in the United States and had dinner with Li Zhiyue several times.
Lu Zhichao!
Hua Nianping remembered that at noon, Li Zhiyue once mentioned this name. He was a Chinese-American in Sanlan City.
…
As expected, Li Li was right. Tan Qibiao rushed back to Shenzhen from Hong Kong and Kowloon early the next morning and showed up at Hua Nianping's office.
"Hello, Shenzhen-Hong Kong Taipan!"
He greeted Hua Nianping flatteringly at the door.
"Brother Tan, please come in quickly!"
Hua Nianping immediately welcomed Tan Qibiao to sit down on the sofa, and poured water and made tea himself.
"Did he really lose his memory, or was he deliberately pretending to be himself?"
Tan Qibiao was secretly suspicious. Hua Nianping's politeness and enthusiasm made him feel uneasy and seemed completely confused.
"You are here to see Director Li Li!" Hua Nianping apologized, "I'm really sorry, she went to Guangzhou overnight last night."
"Smelly woman, I didn't expect her to run away again."
Tan Qibiao yelled at Li Li in his mind, thinking that he would not be able to get his password box back today.
But on his face, he put a smile on Hua Nianping and said without mind, "Ah, of course I know. She informed me yesterday afternoon that she would have time to meet me in Guangzhou this afternoon.
."
Hua Nianping knew that Tan Qibiao was obviously talking nonsense.
Because it was already past midnight when she came out of Han Shengtai's Wudao Sword Hall last night. Li Li suddenly came up with an urgent idea and planned to contact Xiaoqin immediately, and the two took the night train to Guangzhou.
She planned to get back the credit rating report on the Baoan bottling factory when she first started working at an asset appraisal company, and then quickly return to Shenzhen before noon to avoid delays in providing information to financing institutions.
Hua Nianping couldn't figure out why Tan Qibiao deliberately lied at this time. He felt that it was not convenient to expose him immediately, nor could he reveal Li Li's whereabouts.
"Chairman Hua, Secretary Hua, I actually came to Watt Company today to pay a visit to you, the Shenzhen-Hong Kong executive."
Tan Qibiao deliberately emphasized the words "Chairman Hua, Secretary Hua" very strongly.
He observed Hua Nianping's reaction.
"Ah, where did Brother Tan hear about it?" Hua Nianping asked in embarrassment, "The Walter Group has just established a branch. Everyone saw the identity record of the organization in my previous files and temporarily elected me to act as the branch secretary."
Tan Qibiao groaned in his heart, but he didn't expect that he was wrong.
"Besides, I'm not the chairman, let alone the Shenzhen-Hong Kong Taipan." Hua Nianping added, "Just call me brother Nianping!"
