Sassoon Building, Grand Ballroom on the second floor.

As mentioned earlier, after the fall of Shanghai, all industries withered, but the opium industry, the gambling industry, and the entertainment industry bucked the trend and became more prosperous than before the fall.

One of these entertainment venues is the Sassoon Building's ballroom.

Xu Meng was invited by a gentleman and had just finished a dance.

Back at the booth, Xu Meng saw Ergouzi looking at her with envy on his face.

"Brother Dog, why don't you go dancing?" Xu Meng sat down and asked casually.

As soon as the words were asked, Xu Meng regretted it, because Ergouzi had already said that he was an orphan and his adoptive father had died, so how could he have the opportunity to learn to dance on his terms?

Sure enough, after the second dog's face showed a hint of gloom, he drooped his head and said, "I won't." ”

Seeing the sad appearance of the second dog, Xu Meng was a little inexplicably distressed, and said softly at the moment: "I teach you, dancing is actually very simple, really." ”

After speaking, Xu Meng pulled the two dogs up from the card seat.

Ergouzi hurriedly excused himself: "No, no, I can't learn, I'm stupid, I'm really stupid." ”

The second dog is not stupid, he is afraid, afraid of getting along with a beautiful girl like Xu Meng in close proximity.

"You're not stupid." Xu Meng said, "My brother said, your marksmanship is good, you are the first in your special operations brigade, and your special operations brigade is the most capable in the national army." ”

"In other words, you are the most accurate gun in the national army!"

After speaking, without waiting for the second dog to refuse, Xu Meng pulled him onto the dance floor.

entered the dance floor, but the second dog was even more cramped, and he didn't know where to put his hands.

Xu Meng smiled and grabbed Ergouzi's left hand and put it on her waist.

The second dog felt a bang in his head, and all the blood rushed to the top of his head.

"Come, then gently hold my left hand with your right hand." Xu Meng gently grabbed Ergouzi's left hand again, and then pulled Ergouzi to slowly rotate up, "Take your left foot first, take a step forward, yes, Brother Gouzi, you are so smart." ”

Before the words fell, the second dog stepped heavily on Xu Meng's instep, and Xu Meng immediately screamed in pain.

Ergouzi's face immediately fell, he really had the heart to commit suicide, and said with great guilt at the moment: "That, Miss Xu, you don't, are you okay?" ”

"I'm fine." Xu Meng endured the pain, smiled and said, "Brother Gouzi, you don't have to be so restrained, and don't call me Miss Xu, you can call me Xiaomeng just like my brother, Xiaomeng." ”

"Little dream?" The second dog barked tentatively, feeling that his body was almost crispy.

"Hmm." Xiao Meng snorted lightly, and while guiding the second dog to step on the point, he continued, "However, your second dog's nickname is too ugly, otherwise, I'll give you a big name, right?" ”

"Really?" Ergouzi said, "You really want to give me a big name?" ”

"Hmm." Xu Meng hummed lightly, and said, "Brother Dog, others may not think it, but I think you are actually very good, but if you name you You, you will be too proud and complacent, not good, it's not good, it's called Xu Xiu, and it doesn't look like a male name, but like a girl, it's better to be called Liang, Xu Liang." ”

"Xu Liang?" Ergouzi looked at Xu Meng, and his eyes suddenly became hot.

Xu Meng was a little overwhelmed by the eyes of the second dog, and immediately lowered his head and said, "Brother Gouzi, why do you look at me like this?" ”

"Oh uh, nothing." The second dog woke up like a dream, quickly looked away, and said, "Xiaomeng, I'm sorry just now, I shouldn't have thought like that." ”

Xu Meng sighed and asked with a smile, "What did you think just now?" ”

Ergouzi's face immediately turned red, and he refused to say anything.

A dance music was soon over, and the second dog could only let go of the left hand holding Xu Meng's slender waist, and then returned to the booth.

As soon as he came back, Ergouzi saw Yang Dayan, Shui Sheng and Shan Wazi and a few of them were squeezing their eyebrows at him, and one of Ergouzi immediately turned red into a monkey's buttocks, but his heart was as sweet as drinking honey.

Ergouzi faintly felt that he should have fallen in love with Xu Meng, but he also felt that a girl like Xu Meng should not have any intersection with him, so he was extremely disappointed in his heart.

……

is extremely disappointed in my heart, as well as Xu Chao.

"I know you like me." Wang Jiazhi took a sip of red wine, stared at Xu Chao's eyes and said, "From your eyes, I can see that you don't deny it." ”

"Why should I deny it?" Xu Chao took a sip of red wine and said, "I just like you." ”

"You're braver than I thought, at least in love." Wang Jiazhi smiled and said, "However, I don't like you like this." ”

Xu Chao looked at Wang Jiazhi and said in a deep voice, "What do you like?" ”

In Wang Jiazhi's mind, the image of Li Shiqun immediately appeared.

Although she approached Li Shiqun with a purpose, it is an undeniable fact that she does like mature and stable middle-aged men like Li Shiqun, especially Li Shiqun's smoking voice, she is really fascinated.

However, Wang Jiazhi did not say what she thought in her heart, but said: "It's not like you anyway." ”

After speaking, Wang Jiazhi picked up the wine glass and walked away.

Looking at Wang Jiazhi's graceful back, Xu Chao was stunned.

At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded in Xu Chao's ears: "What's the matter, the courtship failed?" ”

"What courtship!" Xu Chao was furious when he heard this, but when he turned his head, he was immediately stunned and said, "Mayor? ”

It was not someone else who dared to speak just now, but Zhong Yi.

"Shhhhhh Zhong Yi hurriedly signaled silence.

He is now the image of George the American, not the Chinese Zhong Yi.

"Oh, Mr. George." Xu Chao said in a low voice, "When are we going back to Dumei Road?" ”

"You don't have to go back." Zhong Yi said in a low voice, "No. 70 Dumei Road has been served by No. 76, Li Chenglong and their whereabouts are unknown now, and their lives and deaths are unknown." ”

Xu Chao was shocked: "How can this be? ”

"In short, you don't have to worry about the military commander." Zhong Yi said, "I have a new task to hand over to you. ”

Xu Chao suddenly perked up when he heard this, and even the frustration of the failed courtship just now disappeared in an instant.

Zhong Yi said: "You tell Xiao Anzi that Sassoon's butler will come to him later, and he will recruit you into Sassoon's personal guard, so that Xiao Anzi agrees." ”

"Sassoon's personal guard?" Xu Chao was stunned.

"That's right." Zhong Yi said, "From tomorrow onwards, you will be members of Sassoon's personal guard!" ”

"Why?" Xu Chao frowned and said, "Why do we want to be a personal guard for a foreign devil?" ”

"Where did so much come from, why?" Zhong Yi said, "This is an order, it must be executed!" ”

Xu Chao sighed, not daring to say anything more.
