Chapter 315: Going to the Feast
Everyone has their own secrets, and in the same way, everyone has their own different missions, and Lao Fan has his principles and missions, and he also has them.
Chen Miao continued to stay in Zhaofeng Park for a while, and then got up and left.
He wanted to go back to Maggie's apartment to pick up Liang Xueqin, and then the two of them went to Lin Shiqun's private dinner in the annex of Lane 1136 of Yuyuan.
Lin Shiqun really spared no effort to catch the Wang family's road, but Chen Zhibo and Zhou Fuhai belong to two factions, he stepped on two boats like this, can Zhou Fuhai feel comfortable?
He seems to have committed the taboo of politicians.
Tonight, he is not the protagonist, and he can't think about Lin Shiqun, but there are some things that have to be guarded against, whether it is a gentleman or a villain.
There were some things he had to watch out for.
"Third brother, do you think it's better for me to wear that dress?" Back at Maggie's apartment, Liang Xueqin was also changing her clothes, ready to go out at any time.
"That gray tweed is good, let's dress modestly and don't dominate." Chen Miao said.
"Oh." Liang Xueqin put down the purple cheongsam in her hand, reached out and picked up the gray tweed coat, put it on, and looked at it in front of the mirror.
"Xueqin, tonight, let's just accompany the guests, we have to be careful when talking and eating, when it comes to politics, you just say that you are not interested, or you don't understand, anyway, you are an actor who sings and criticizes, and they will not embarrass you." Chen Miao said, "And try not to drink too much alcohol or drinks, so as not to need to go to the bathroom." ”
Liang Xueqin nodded.
"Don't bring the gun, Xiao Qi and I are here, and I can't protect you?" Chen Miao watched Liang Xueqin put the palm thunder into the small leather bag he carried with him, and reminded him.
"Hmm." Liang Xueqin took out the gun and put it in the drawer of the dresser.
"Qiao'er, if you are scared at home alone, come with us, it just so happens that you and Xiao Qi are companions in the car?" Chen Miao said to Qiao'er.
"Third brother, I won't go, stay at home, boil hot water and wait for you to come back." Qiao'er hesitated, but still didn't go along.
"It's fine."
Chen Miao and Liang Xueqin rushed to the annex of Yuyuan 1136 Lane, when the lights of thousands of homes were on, and the concession was now an isolated island, surrounded by Japanese troops.
As long as the Japanese army wants to enter, they can do so at any time.
It's just that Japan doesn't want to go to war directly with Europe and the United States yet, and the time is not yet ripe.
Chen Miao got out of the car first and opened the car door for Liang Xueqin, and then took her hand and got out of the car: "Third brother, I'll come by myself." ”
"Oops, Brother Sanshui and Sister Xueqin are here." Ye Yuru said a black Shu brocade cheongsam, put on a mink shoulder, and walked out of the gate to greet the guests.
"Sister Yuru."
"Come on, please sit inside." Ye Yuru enthusiastically helped Liang Xueqin up the steps with one hand, and pointed to the direction of the living room behind the door with the other.
"Where's the Director?"
"He's upstairs taking a shower and changing clothes." Ye Yuru explained.
Coming to the living room, Chen Miao saw another guest tonight, Xia Zhongming, and his wife, who had never seen it, but it was the first time to see it.
"Mother Wu, serve tea."
"I have long known that Director Chen gave the famous Queen of Pingtan to Jinwu to hide Jiaojiao, and I finally saw it today, it is really beautiful." When Xia Zhongming saw Liang Xueqin, he couldn't help but admire.
"Secretary Xia, my sister-in-law is still there." Chen Miao smiled, "Be careful to go back to kneel on the washboard at night?" ”
"Hehe......" Xia Zhongming smiled awkwardly, but Mrs. Xia was very curious and glanced at Liang Xueqin more, she was not so worried.
"Sanshui and his younger siblings are here?" While speaking, Lin Shiqun came down from upstairs with a refreshed face, saw everyone in the living room, and greeted him.
"Hello Director."
"Sit, do it, Mr. Zhibo just called, he still has some things to deal with, and he will be there in a while." Lin Shiqun smiled, his hands raised slightly.
The big shots are always the last to appear, which is also in line with officialdom conventions.
After chatting a few words, Fu Yewen and his wife also arrived, in this way, counting Lin Shiqun and his wife, there are four couples, and a large round table is full of ten people, and it is estimated that Chen Zhibo is left.
But Chen Zhibo's wife didn't come to Shanghai with him, did he come alone tonight?
It is unlikely that if Chen Zhibo went to the banquet alone, Lin Shiqun would not have asked them to bring their respective wives over.
Chen Zhibo should have brought a female companion, but I don't know who this female companion is.
A person who collaborates with the enemy and betrays the country and is willing to be a traitor, how much does he expect his private life to be? Chen Miao felt that this requirement seemed to be a bit too high.
The men had their own men's topics, and the women also had women's topics, and they were separated and chatted casually.
After chatting about this, it naturally came to the case of the Mega Association.
Chen Miao is the person in charge of this case, Xia Zhongming and Fu Yewen were naturally curious and asked, Chen Miao could only deal with it carefully, some things really can't be said casually, even if these two are Lin Shiqun's henchmen.
It didn't take long.
"Director, Mr. Zhibo's car has arrived!" Zhang Lu walked in quickly and said goodbye.
"Let's go, let's all go to the door to greet you?" Lin Shiqun got up and said hello.
Sure enough, Chen Zhibo passed on a brown tweed tunic suit, with a big back, and a woman with short hair and a very temperamental woman on his arm and got out of the car.
"Mr. Zhibo and Miss Mo are here, the humble house is really shining, please come inside!" Lin Shiqun greeted the two of them into the gate courtyard with great enthusiasm.
After entering the living room, Lin Shiqun first introduced Chen Miao and others to Chen Zhibo one by one, and shook hands politely and greeted him.
When introducing Liang Xueqin, a famous commentator on the beach, Chen Zhibo's eyes obviously burst out with a bright light.
Especially when he heard Lin Shiqun introduce Liang Xueqin and Chen Miao to get married, his eyes were obviously disappointed, and all this was observed by Chen Miao.
However, the Miss Mo brought by Chen Zhibo has always been smiling and welcoming, and I can't see any special changes in her heart.
Vase?
Chen Miao didn't believe that on this occasion, Chen Zhibo would bring a vase over, and the others were their respective wives or like Chen Miao who were ready to get married.
Chen Zhibo wants to bring a female companion, so at least he has some identity.
"Ye Wen, Sanshui, Zhong Ming, this beautiful and generous young lady next to Mr. Zhibo is surnamed Mo, is Mr. Zhibo's entourage secretary, graduated from the Department of Political Science of Yan University, and is a talented girl!"
"Mo Xin, give me a lot of advice!" Mo Xinnuono said generously.
"Miss Mo is polite."
After some politeness, Lin Shiqun asked people to serve tea, and everyone chatted in the living room, Chen Zhibo was very interested in Liang Xueqin, and the other ladies had no talent, and they couldn't find anything to talk about when they met for the first time.
This is probably also the reason why Lin Shiqun had to let Chen Miao take Liang Xueqin to the banquet.
Chen Zhibo is indeed extraordinary, his knowledge is not bad, he is worthy of being a scholarly family, he has a soft spot for the old, and many of the lyrics in the commentary are from the old words, which can have a lot of common topics.
Regardless of identity and political position, Chen Zhibo does have something to attract women's admiration, and Mo Xin can see one or two when he looks at his reverent and admiring eyes.
At the instigation of the crowd.
Liang Xueqin, who had not opened her mouth for a long time, improvised two sentences of excerpts from "The Legend of the West Chamber" and "The Legend of the White Snake", which won full applause.
"Mr. Zhibo, Miss Mo, let's sit down, the dishes will be cold for a while." Lin Shiqun urged.
"Okay." Chen Zhibo is still a little unsatisfied, but the people who came to eat today are not here to listen to the church meeting, so he can't forget about business.
After three rounds of drinking.
On the grounds that he doesn't talk about politics, only about Fengyue, the topic returns to Liang Xueqin.
"It's a pity, if Miss Liang's voice doesn't sing from now on, then this is a big loss for the criticizing world!" Chen Zhibo couldn't help but sigh.
"Yes, Sister Xueqin, although we women are married, it is our duty to teach each other husband and children, but the times are different, men and women are equal, and we must also have our own careers, what do you say?" Ye Yuru echoed.
"Because of some trivial matters, after listening to the closure of Xuelou, I planned to open another bookstore, but I didn't find a suitable garden all the time, so I delayed it." Chen Miao explained.
"That's right, with Miss Liang's identity and status, the garden is small, and it definitely won't work."
"The matter of the site is easy to solve, but it really can't be done, let's buy a piece of land and build one ourselves." Ye Yuru said magnificently.
"If this is a bookstore, we will have a place to go, and we can also meet for tea, play cards or something, this has a fixed place, which is also good." Mo Xin echoed, and it could be seen that she was very interested in this matter.
Judging from Chen Zhibo's attitude, he didn't speak out against it, on the contrary, judging from the smile on the corner of his mouth, it seemed to be very encouraging.
This woman named Mo Xin is afraid that her status next to Chen Zhibo is not simple, Yan Dacai can express her opinions in front of Chen Zhibo at will, is she really just a secretary?
Apparently not.
"What Miss Mo said makes sense, this is a good idea, and it will be really beneficial to build this bookstore." Ye Yuru hurriedly slapped a sycophant.
"Sanshui, what do you think?"
"Director, since Mrs. Sister-in-law and Miss Mo have said that there are so many benefits of building a bookstore, how can I disagree, but since we have built a bookstore, it is naturally to make money, and we will not do the business of losing money, so it is better to get a club or something, and entertain ourselves." Chen Miao said busily.
"Well, Sanshui's words make sense, if you don't make money, then it's really better not to build." Lin Shiqun echoed.
"Director Lin, Director Chen, I personally suggest that after the bookstore is completed, the business affairs will still be handed over to Miss Liang, and we can help share the cost, and if we earn it, we will share the dividends, and if we can't earn it, we will have fun, what do you all say?" Mo Xin suggested with a smile.
"Miss Mo's suggestion is pertinent, come, I propose to make a toast to this suggestion." Lin Shiqun laughed, stood up and raised his glass.
"!"
……
"Mr. Zhibo, you go slowly, you and Miss Mo are welcome to come often."
"Thank you Director Lin for your hospitality, I can listen to Miss Liang's song, Chen is worth the trip today......" Chen Zhibo was reluctantly helped into the car by Mo Xin.
"Director Lin, Mrs. Sister-in-law, we also say goodbye." Chen Miao and Liang Xueqin then also said goodbye and left.
"Walk slowly."
"Third brother, I'm a little scared." In the car, Liang Xueqin snuggled tightly in Chen Miao's arms, tonight's meal was not delicious, and even the table was full of well-cooked dishes, eating it in the mouth, it was the same as chewing wax.
"Don't be afraid, with me, I believe that the third brother, we can get through these difficulties." If it weren't for the trust of these Japanese puppet spy leaders and more intelligence resources, he would never let Liang Xueqin do things she didn't like.
The reason why Chen Zhibo came to Lin Shiqun's mansion for a banquet is that he also took a fancy to the power of the agents in Lin Shiqun's hands, he is a latecomer, and if he wants to have a greater voice in Wang's group, he can't do without the support of his subordinates.
As for Lin Shiqun, in addition to currying favor with Zhou Fuhai, he is still desperately trying to lean on Wang's body, this guy wants to bet on both ends.
In order to get power, he really did everything, and the flattering attitude towards Chen Zhibo at the table tonight was almost licked on his knees, which was really disgusting.
