Chapter Forty-Six: Wine Enters the Bowels
At noon, the sun is beautiful and the wind is peaceful.
109 Kaiyun Street, Russian restaurant "West Bank of the Neva".
In the lingering and tactful piano music, Cheng Gongnian pushed open the wooden door of the restaurant and walked straight to the window counter on the south side, where Yan Yan had already been sitting.
"Dude, I ordered your favorite salmon sashimi, shrimp with cheese, roast beef and beetroot soup." Strictly said in style, "But you don't need to pay the bill, and my brother can't always scratch you?" β
Cheng Gongnian was in a very chaotic mood, how could he have the heart to listen to this, "Little master, don't say kind words, let's drink vodka today, it's strong and delicious!" β
"I said, why don't you get some red wine or something? Why do you still drink vodka today? Puzzled, he called out to the waiter, "Waiter, come have a bottle of vodka." β
Russian traditional vodka originally used barley as raw material, and then gradually changed to starchy potatoes and corn, making mash and distilling the original liquor has nothing special, but the original liquor is injected into the birch activated carbon filter tank when filtering, and through a slow filtration process, all the oils, acids, aldehydes, esters and other trace elements contained in the original liquor are removed, and a very pure vodka is obtained.
After a while, the waiter brought up all the dishes strictly ordered, Cheng Gongnian picked up the wine bottle, and poured most of the vodka into the tall wine glasses of the two, "Boy, you have followed me for so many years, accompany my brother to taste this old Maozi's spirits." After speaking, before he could strictly pick up his wine glass, he took a big sip himself, choking him and coughing.
"Boss, you slow down, you can't gobble up the wine. This emotion is not right, can we slow down? Yan Yan held the fork in his hand and glared at Cheng Gongnian.
Cheng Gongnian forked a piece of beef with a fork, put it in his mouth and chewed, "Little brother, just when you were looking for me, I just quarreled with that Qiu Zikun, that girl came up with a spicy force, it was really difficult to deal with, how like a Jiangnan woman, it was in the morning, a friend of mine had breakfast with me, and I saw her coming out of the Yingyun Hotel, you said that I was not at home at night, and she was not at home, isn't it strange, but it is angry that a middle-aged man came out with her, the man got into the rickshaw and left, and she also entered the Yanzhao noodle restaurant, I let me see. β
"Then you just asked her? Angry attitude? "Strictly cutting beef with a knife.
"How can I bear it? People are good, and the reason seems to be seamless. Then, Cheng Gongnian strictly said Qiu Zikun's set of rhetoric.
"Boss, you can't believe anyone's words like this, but you don't have proof. Listen to me, just let her believe that you agree with her statement, quickly apologize to her, stabilize her, and then continue to keep an eye on her, and when you have conclusive evidence, you can make another decision. Apparently not interested in beetroot soup, he nonchalantly stirred the soup back and forth with a spoon.
Cheng Gongnian asked in a low voice: "After all, this is my private matter, and I can't always trouble you, but who do I have trouble with?" You are my most trusted person, even my uncle is not credible, he said that in order to preserve his strength, Xu Tu will make a comeback, but I see that he is also subservient to the Japanese, and I don't understand him. Besides, I have something to ask you, now that our people are all settled, there is no problem with the operation of the radio station, right? Can the whereabouts of the 'Rime Project' be found? β
Strictly said: "The surviving people of our Furong Lane have all been settled, because the telegraph operator is dead, and only I can receive and receive telegrams by myself, and I will deliver the above news to you in time." I'll tell you two more things, one is that I arranged for my subordinate Pan Jiufeng to follow his sister-in-law three times, in recent days, she has gone to three places, one is to go to Guandi Temple the morning before yesterday, as if looking for something, and then returned to the newspaper office after giving incense to Guan Erye; One was when she went to Qiulin Department Store that afternoon, she seemed to feel that someone was following her and dumped Xiao Pan in the mall; Then there was the fact that she went to the Sakurayun Hotel last night, and she didn't come out again all night. She said she had only arrived there in the morning, which was obviously not right. β
Cheng Gongnian took another sip of vodka, "This Qiu Zikun doesn't seem to be the weak woman I liked back then, she really has something to hide from me, and her family is unfortunate, which makes me wonder if her feelings for me are so innocent." β
Strictly whispered, "There are even more exciting ones." Do you still know Qin Zining from the headquarters of Nanjing Lixing Society? He is now the deputy director of the confidential office of the headquarters, he was on duty last night, and we said something by secret telegram in the evening, he said that the headquarters is preparing to enter a higher national critical department as a whole, and the system is all being upgraded, and it is necessary to compete with the CC department, and he also said that although you are the captain of the action team in the Xinjing area, you are Deng Wenyi's protΓ©gΓ©, but you must be cautious everywhere, our top boss that Tan Zushou has been transferred, and this new boss is called. Buddha', is a person who wears a hat, ruthless, let's do things don't go off the board, otherwise it will be difficult to save my life, I have never seen it, just contact him through the radio, he rarely speaks much, the number of words every time he gives an order, and then quickly turn off the radio, the method is old-fashioned, the night before yesterday he also asked about the progress of the 'rime plan', he said that he found that the action team was slow, very unhappy. He also said that you have been in a restless mood recently, so you should adjust your mood. I also wondered, how did he get hold of you? You have to be careful. β
"Okay. It seems that the above is not monolithic, which means that this 'Buddha' is well aware of our situation and must hurry up the pace of action. The two of us acted separately, I sorted out my whereabouts that day again, looking for the 'rime plan', you have to arrange more effective people to pay close attention to Qiu Zikun's movements, I feel that she is becoming more and more mysterious, and if her affairs are not solved well, it will affect major events in the future. Cheng Gongnian listened to these strict words, and finally calmly defeated impulse.
Strictly watched no one, and whispered: "Brother, there is another thing, that is, one afternoon a thin person went to the newspaper office to find Qiu Zikun, that person was not good-looking, it happened that Qiu Zikun was not there, he left, I don't know who it is, I told me in the inside line of the newspaper." β
"Strange, who is this?" Cheng Gongnian's train of thought was disturbed by Qiu Zikun, and he was confused.
"In the past few days, I will arrange for someone to keep an eye on it, and maybe, the 'rime plan' may be in the hands of Qiu Zikun, which is not easy to do, but I have no intention of separating the relationship between your husband and wife." Strictly positive color said.
"That's naturally impossible, Zikun is also very bitter, if her background is not so complicated, I would like to believe her, but the reality is that she confuses me." Cheng Gongnian was very puzzled.
When the two were talking, two people came in the passage of the restaurant, one was Zha Chun'e and the other was Lu Songmian.
Lu Songmian and Cheng Gongnian met at the banquet in Zhishan Mansion, "Isn't this Major Cheng?" It's rare to see you here. β
Cheng Gongnian stood up and shook hands with Lu Songmian, "Miss Lu, I'm glad to meet." We couldn't talk much at the old mansion that time, but we were very close to each other. Who is this ......? β
"This is Miss Zha Chun'e from the Central Broadcasting Bureau, and she is my good friend." Lu Songmian said naturally.
"Fortunately, Miss Cha, I am in the Ministry of Military Affairs to contact Cheng Gongnian." Cheng Gongnian politely shook hands with Zha Chun'e.
Zha Chun'e's eyes lit up when she saw Cheng Gongnian, "How does my sister know such a young talent?" Chun'e is really fortunate to have three lives! β
Cheng Gongnian introduced Lu Songmian and the others to Strict, so naturally they couldn't go into details.
After all, Lu Songmian is a Kochi woman who returned from studying abroad, "Major Cheng, you eat yours, Sister Cha and I went over there." This meal was invited by the sister-in-law. β
Cheng Gongnian couldn't stand this, and hurriedly said: "Miss Lu, I'm here to invite you today, I heard that President Lu was injured, and I don't know what's wrong, if it weren't for trivial matters, I would have gone to visit a long time ago." β
"Major Cheng, thank you for your concern, my father is still in a coma, but his life has been saved, Sister Cha saw that I was upset, so she asked me out for some dinner, you can be busy with you if you have something, and when my father wakes up, my sister will invite everyone to have a good gathering." Lu Songmian obviously has a good impression of Cheng Gongnian, but in her heart, compared with Luo Shuangchen, this major has a little more weakness, which she doesn't like very much.
Cheng Gongnian waved his hand to them, "Those two please take care of yourself, I will invite you to this meal when you go back, don't fight with me, in the West, how can there be a reason for a man to eat and let a lady pay." β
Zha Chun'e was very polite, "Then thank you Major Cheng, invite us another day?" β
After speaking, the two of them walked towards the innermost table.
Strictly knew that it was not appropriate for him to talk too much to Cheng Gongnian in front of outsiders, "Brother, it's not appropriate to stay here for a long time, let's leave?" β
Cheng Gongnian glared at him, "Last time we were almost caught by the black dog here, and today we asked me to meet here?" You, why are you careless? β
Strictly speaking: "How could they have thought that more than half a month later, we would come here again?" And when Old Joe was looking for us, the dog didn't see us! The most dangerous place is the safest. β
"Is it safe here? See where you're going? Let's get caught! With a shout, a group of people rushed into the Russian restaurant.
