The Republic of China
Work related
Happen, prevent it before it happens. "Liang Yucheng was a little disappointed. If it wasn't for his high spirits to return to China to work, he might have found a job with a high salary in the UK. Now he regrets a bit, why he insisted on following his father's last wish, why he had to come back to serve the motherland after his studies ? Is it because the Liang family received the Holy Grace of the Qing Dynasty, and his father was the first batch of government-funded overseas students, so he had to repay it conscientiously? At first he wanted to repay it, but too many disgusting things left him only disappointed !
"China is a huge market, but unfortunately the relationship between people here is too complicated, I can't handle it, you must help me!" This is what Quentin often said.
"Well, what you said makes a lot of sense. Now that justice and morality are gone, it is indeed too difficult to be alone, and doing business is not that simple!" Erbeile recalled what Xiaojun said to himself just now, and everyone around It's jackals, tigers and leopards. If they don't show their sharp teeth, they will be eaten alive in the end. Isn't that the case with the nobles of the Manchu Qing Dynasty?
"It's good that you can understand our difficulties. Quentin and I are looking for like-minded friends, not just recruiting a few employees." So he selects people very carefully. First, he requires education and world experience. The most important thing is to really help the company, for which they can pay more.
After Mr. Liang left the room, he leaned against the bedside and thought about it. In the evening of the day after tomorrow, Xiaojun invited him to the Astor Hotel for coffee, and he didn't know what kind of medicine the other party sold in the gourd, but since he agreed, he couldn't refuse. They also said that their ticket company needs Zhou's care...
Early the next morning, the host who had just moved to Dengshikou got dressed and went out. His surname was Lu Mingsan, and everyone who knew him called him Sanye.The third master usually stays at home and occasionally goes out to do errands. People who know him think that he is a businessman and stays outside the customs most of the time, but what he does is not an ordinary business.
Lu San wore brand-new black leather boots and rode a rickshaw to the auspicious tea garden at the front door. When he entered the door, he lifted the hem of his gown, stepped upstairs and went straight to the private room, where someone was waiting for him.
It was none other than Lao Liu who was entertaining guests.
"Third Master, it's not easy to invite you!" The sixth child hurriedly asked him to sit down and poured tea courteously. For such a big deal, he had to find someone who could stand up to the situation, and this person was none other than Lu San .
"Sixth Master, you are welcome. What is the importance of looking for my younger brother today?" Lu San sat across from Lao Liu and served tea. Save face, after all, he wants to settle in Beiping in the future.
Lao Liu sighed sadly: "Oh, I didn't want to disturb you at first, but it's not that the Lian family can't do it this time, so I hope the third master can help me go this way." He wanted to try This person cannot be hired, if Lu San is there to help, it doesn't matter if there is no scoundrel Yan Si, he has some concerns, this is not an ordinary business, it is about human life, and it is about immeasurable money.
"You have to speak clearly!" Lu San put down his teacup, and calmly looked at the man across from him. One must always be on guard in the Jianghu, especially when facing such an old man.
"Beating Drums and Scolding Cao" was being performed in the tea garden, and there was a lot of noise, and the two of them had to get closer to each other when they were talking. On the contrary, this kind of place was more hidden, and no one would notice them.
"I will not hide what I have to say... Go to Zhishui to find ten middle-aged men. These people must have centenarians in their homes. Foreigners want to research new medicines, so they need their help to do experiments. Just put some blood, give each person 1000 silver dollars, including food and lodging, send these people to Tianjin, and I will give you the other half. If you promise, you can buy and sell 8 silver dollars." He asked for a price that is not low. It took ten and a half days to make a round trip, and it was only 6 yuan for Yan Si, but Lu San was worth the price.
"Oh, I'm only responsible for sending these people over, so I don't need to sign a certificate with them?" Lu San felt that there must be something strange about it. How could it be so easy to get 8 silver dollars these days, and I'm afraid that the money will be spent in the end.He can't take this risk, and he can't lose the basic sense of morality.
"Hehe, of course we don't need you anymore. We have prepared the paperwork. You only need to bring people to Tianjin, and you will settle the payment when you arrive. You will never be in arrears." The sixth son said firmly, he knew that Lu San was thinking about money, for money I can go down the mountain of knives and fry the oil pan, and live with my head on my hands.
Lu San bowed his head and thought for a moment, then smiled and replied: "Since we are here, let's finish listening to the play. This is a rare good show!" If he was asked to find a young man from the Changshou family, there were too many things he couldn't figure out, so he couldn't easily agree.
On the stage, Mi Heng beat the drum and sang: "Cao Cao's words are wrong, how can the dragon be hidden without water? How can the manger raise lions and elephants, how can the dog's lair live in the phoenix? One drum beats the sky and the earth, and the drum beats two drums to vibrate the Chao Gang .The drum beats three links to wipe out the adulterous party, and the drum beats Sitong Guotaikang. The drums make a continuous sound."
Mi Heng continued to beat the drums, and Xipi sang after shaking the board: "If you discipline your traitor, you will never die."
The spectators in the audience couldn't help applauding. This aria is very satisfying, like a warm wind blowing away the cold current in people's hearts, and making the usually dull faces a little more proud!
☆, Lian Jiazi
After Lu San finished watching the play, he said goodbye to Lao Liu, went to a restaurant on the corner, ordered food and drinks, and paid the bill first, and waited for Lao Liu to come out. He sat by the window on the second floor, just in time to see the scenery at the entrance of the theater clearly.
After a while, the other party walked out slowly and got on his own rickshaw.
Lu San hurriedly chased him out, and also called a car to keep a distance to follow. After walking for a long time, they arrived near the embassy area. The sixth man's foreign car stopped in front of a Japanese clinic, and hurriedly opened the door to enter.
He also got out of the car, looked around, detoured from the path behind the clinic, and jumped onto the gray wall without anyone noticing. His movements were as agile as a leopard. He squatted on the wall to check the situation in the yard. The backyard A black German shepherd dog was tied to sleep in the kennel, and if he acted rashly, he would definitely startle him.
Lu San calmly walked along the wall to the corner, jumped up to the roof with a "swoosh", lay down on the roof, judged the owner's location based on experience, put his ear on the tile, and listened carefully. The reason why he can live to this day is not only the fists and feet he learned from his master since he was a child, but also his excellent hearing. As long as he holds his breath and listens quietly, he can hear the conversations inside even through a thick wall. content.
The person Lao Liu met in the clinic was a Japanese doctor in his thirties. He was wearing gold-rimmed glasses, elegant, and wearing a white coat. While washing his hands, he said to Liu Ye who was sitting on the chair: Asked: "Did he agree?" I just finished the obstetric operation on a woman with dystocia, and I looked a little tired.
The clinic is small, but it looks very clean. The outer room receives patients, the inner room is the treatment room, and there are three wards through the narrow corridor. Two Japanese female nurses live in the attic. The reception here is foreigners, ordinary Chinese People cannot afford such an expensive consultation fee.
"Not yet, even if he doesn't agree, there is Yan Si, but I think Lu San is more suitable. He is a man of morality and abides by the rules. If he agrees to do this business, he will not break his promise, let alone betray him. Customer." Liu Ye tried his best to convince the other party that his biggest benefactor is Hirano Koji.
"Well, I understand that. You Chinese call this loyalty." Hirano wiped his hands and walked to the table and sat down. He spoke Chinese with a Japanese accent, but after ten years in China, he has already adapted to the local life. Everything is familiar, including the weaknesses of the Chinese people.
"He wanted to know more about it, but I didn't talk about it." Lao Liu wanted to smoke, but when he touched his pocket, he saw Hirano's stern gaze, so he had to withdraw his hand. The doctor doesn't smoke, and he hates other people smoking.
"Don't let the people who do things know too much. It's not good for us. My father told you that this is an absolute secret when we first cooperated with you 13 years ago. If it gets out, I can't guarantee what will happen." Hirano calmly As he said, what worries him the most is that Lao Liu won't be able to keep his secrets. If there are any consequences, he will have to run to close the momentum, which will be very troublesome. Everything should be clear and clear. People like to be simple and clear, and they don't beat around the bush like the Chinese do things.
"I won't reveal a word, it's just... I've been on the saddle for you for so long, just to join the church, can I have a nice word with the pastor?" His eyes were full of longing. He is over fifty years old, and he will die at some point. As long as he can live longer than others, he would rather donate all his property and leave his wife and children alone.
The Japanese doctor sneered: "I told you before that it is not a field you can enter. To join the church requires not only wealth, but also the wisdom and ability of the believers. There are rules for priests to review believers. You Do you also know what kind of people believers are?"
"Please, I'm so old, what I want is to live a few more years, to be like the pastor and his old man...!" Before the old man finished speaking, the doctor forcibly interrupted him.
"That's enough, don't talk anymore, you take care of the delivery, don't think about it, you go, I'm going to rest!" Hirano issued the order to evict the customer, and didn't want to talk nonsense with the other party.
Master Liu was in a cold sweat, and had to say with a smile on his face, "Yes, I'm going back, and I will definitely do what you asked me to do." But he was really not reconciled, he has been busy running around for more than ten years Not only for money, but also for the desire for immortality!
After the guests left, Hirano Xingzhi took off his white coat and walked into the laboratory in the backyard. He turned on the lights in the laboratory and looked at the white iron cabinet with a safety lock in the corner. He walked over and turned the combination lock to close the cabinet. The door opened, and it turned out to be a refrigerated cabinet. There were more than a dozen bottles of blood samples stored in the cabinet. He turned the glass test tubes one by one to carefully observe the color, and selected a bottle from the middle to take it under the microscope.
Hirano put a drop of blood under a glass slide and carefully observed it with his right eye. Under the microscope, the viability of blood cells in this bottle of blood sample was significantly reduced. Many cells were in a half-sleeping state and almost motionless. It seemed that the quality of these samples had dropped to the lowest level. At this point, when it is necessary to replace it, the new product must arrive in Tianjin as soon as possible.
After the sixth child left the clinic, Lu San also went back the same way. When he got home, his daughter had already fallen asleep. He closed the door of the child's room lightly and went to the living room, lit a pipe, and smoked while thinking about it.
He definitely can't do the sixth thing. Although he can't fully understand what the other party and the Japanese doctor are talking about, it must be an unreasonable business. Although he is just a bandit who can be punished by everyone, he can't do funerals for money It's a good thing, let's not spend 8 silver dollars, he Lu San should make a living by licking blood from the edge of a knife!
"Master, someone is looking for you outside!" Nanny yawned and walked in, presumably woken up by the knocking on the courtyard door.
"Go back and rest, I'm going to see the guests." After he said that, he strode out of the house and came to the gate. When he opened the door, he found that the person who came was the servant of Baylor's mansion that he met by chance that day.
"Little brother, is there anything you can do to find me so late?" No one would come to the door if there was nothing wrong, he could see the panic in Feng Ye's eyes.
Xiao Yezi bowed politely, and said in a low voice, "I know you are a man of your own, and I am here today to ask for something." Before coming, he had thought about it many times, but the person in front of him who could help him was afraid. There was only this strange outsider. He probably inquired about Lu San's background, and knew that the other party was not a local, and he was suitable to help him. In order to find out the whereabouts of his father, he would rather hand over all the money he had saved over the years to Lu San. three.
He smiled: "Let's talk in the room first!"
The two entered the north room, and Lu San made a cup of scented tea for Feng Ye, intending to sit down and chat. He couldn't guess this person, so he came to listen to the other party's argument.
"My younger brother's surname is Feng, and his name is Ye. He lived in Feng Village many years ago. In the autumn of 13 years ago, my father was dragged to sell blood by a group of people, and he never came back. On the night my father left, there were bandits in the village. Everyone except me was killed, I would like to ask my elder brother to help me find out the whereabouts of my father, if you promise, I will use all my savings as your reward." Feng Ye knew that this man lived by guns Yes, because when he was in the palace before, he often dealt with the emperor's guards. The temperament of those guards was quite similar to this person, and they also had a strong smell of gunpowder.
After hearing these words, Lu San seemed very calm. He picked up his teacup to drink tea, and then asked: "How do you know I can help you?" This is the most critical question, and his identity is not clear to ordinary people.
"I know you are a Lianjiazi, you smell of gunpowder, I used to be with soldiers a lot, and I am familiar with their smell, so I guess you can help me, besides, I have nothing else to ask now I'm dead!" He used to be just a eunuch in the imperial dining room, and he didn't have the ability to reach the sky at all, so he went to the doctor indiscriminately when he was sick.
Lu San lowered his head and asked, "Who did you ask about me?"
"The neighbors said that you are a businessman outside the customs, and you only go back to Beiping in winter. Forgive me, but you are not an ordinary businessman... I guess, you are probably a dart runner." He put his hands on his knees On the table, he was sitting upright, but he did not hide his eyes. After living for more than twenty years, this was the first time he fought for his own affairs.
The third master smiled heartily, saying that he is a dart runner is not an exaggeration.
"I have to figure out the reason for everything, so I know if I can help you. If I can do it, it's not too late to talk about it."
When Feng Ye heard this, he immediately became happy, and then said: "It's just that this matter for me may be very troublesome. I remember that the one who came to take away the men and father in the village was Yan Si, a gangster who lived in Beiping. There are some forces, and the sixth master who associates with him is also related to this matter."
As soon as Lu San heard that he mentioned Lao Liu, he knew that the matter of Feng Village was also related to the Japanese clinic, which made him even more curious.
"Little brother, let's not talk about Yan Si's rascal, just say that the sixth master is a character who can make you die and have no place to hide. You have messed up things that you can't do...whether I promise to help you or not." You, you can't talk about it with other people in the future, it's for your own good."
Xiao Yezi nodded understandingly: "I've heard of Liu Ye's name before, black and white, and even foreigners have face-saving people. I will keep my elder brother's words in mind!"
Lu San said approvingly: "You must have experienced many disasters, but the current situation is like this, every family has unspeakable sufferings, some things should not be taken too seriously, life is still alive!" As a relative, he can fully understand Feng Ye's mood, but the past is over, the key is how to survive in this difficult world, and try to live as well as possible.
☆, wishful thinking
After work on Saturday, Erbeile was invited to the Astor Hotel to have coffee with Zhou Junyu. The hotel is Victorian style, and the Western wooden furniture is elegant and luxurious, making people feel like they are in a foreign country. The foreigners who can be seen everywhere make this place very special In particular, the Chinese guests seem a little out of tune. Although the hotel is still being expanded, the guests still flock here unaffected.
They sat in the corner of the hall drinking coffee, tasting Black Forest cakes, chatting about some past events, and finally came to the privacy that Zai Jie didn't want to mention the most.
Brigadier Zhou looked at Baylor and asked with a meaningful smile, "Is your wife pretty?"
"It's okay, how many children do you have?" He didn't like to talk about this topic. He and Huarong were married by their parents. Whenever someone asked such a question, he would instinctively resent it.
"I'm not married yet. I often have to go to the battlefield. I don't have time. Sometimes I just find a woman to sleep with for a night. Most people who join the army live like this." Compared with himself, he is more worried about his sister's life-long affairs After all, the young girl's family is only a few years old, so he, the older brother, must choose a good husband-in-law for his younger sister.
"So that's how it is." He didn't expect Xiao Jun to marry late, but now it is a civilized society, and people don't advocate early marriage. He also thinks this is a very good suggestion. If most people can marry late and have children Maybe there will be fewer people. Young people have to work harder, accumulate wealth, and it’s not too late to start a family and stay there.
"Although the Republic of China is now, you banner people are still living in the shadow of the past. It is really unnecessary, but I think it is a great thing that you can come out and work for General Manager Liang." He looked down on the other party and always felt that he was a prodigal son.
The nobleman smiled wryly: "The main reason why I was able to work in the bank this time is because my younger brother Zaihong insisted on bringing me here. If it wasn't for him, I might still be hiding at home and reading every day." The wife is good at housekeeping, and they He doesn't waste money in his daily life, even if it takes another five or six years, there will be no problem, but if it takes a long time, he may have to sell the antiques at home, and he will really become a prodigal son.
"Since you live in Tianjin for the time being, we will have more time to move around. I just bought a house nearby, which is Western-style. Why don't you live with me? How can the dormitory of your foreign firm be compared to my house? I will give it to you." You prepare Simmons, let the servants serve you every day." He said that Erbeile would be with him, but now that their fate has come again, how can he let go of the opportunity?
Zai Jie frowned, and asked displeasedly: "What is it if I live with you?" They are not relatives, so why do they want to live together.
"Have you forgotten what I said back then? I want you to be with me, what else can we do, neither of us is stupid!" Although he has seen countless people, this is the first time he has met Er Baylor, Rare things are more expensive, wouldn't he be a fool if he gave up the great opportunity to others?
Lord Belle gave him a blank look, and then said indifferently: "Why don't you make any progress in this area!"
"It's not that I'm not motivated, but that I'm dedicated!" He tried his best to put gold on his face, but his words were not fake, and he never forgot the beautiful woman in front of him.
"You have found the wrong person!" He should not be included in the selection range by anyone, because he does not belong to either camp on both sides, but is caught in the gap. Those who live in the gap have no rights and can only accept it passively. .
"Ha~ It seems that your hobbies have shifted to women. How many friends do you have outside?" Zhou Junyu felt a sense of frustration. He thought that your son's interest should be with men, but he didn't expect to choose gentleness after so many years. Dear girl, although he also loves women, he still can't forget the special Lord Belle.
"No, my hobbies are not in those mundane things." He spends more time reading and writing, living a closed life, and occasionally goes outside to relax and listen to operas, but he doesn't like to talk to others. He has been like this since he was a child when he interacted with others. After the person opposite moved away, he no longer had a friend who could confide in him.
"It's like what you said. Don't people have to enjoy life? Don't you think reading is the greatest enjoyment in the world?" He didn't like reading when he was a child, so he ran away from school and joined the army. This decision was originally opposed by everyone in the family. Because he is the only son of the Zhou family after all, and bears the responsibility of continuing the incense.
Your young master put down his coffee cup and replied softly: "I don't have any other hobbies, and I don't like to meet so many people." Places with many people will make him uncomfortable, and most of them will be boring. The most difficult thing for people is to put Boredom has turned into fun, Zaihong is especially good at being in it, his elder brother Zaiqi is also better than him, he is very good at flattering, and now he runs to the emperor every day, thinking about the big event of "restoration".
"It's not bad to know more people. If you want to make things easier in the future, you might be able to start your own business in the future." After drinking his coffee, he wanted to smoke. After taking out his lighter, he smiled meaningfully at the young master. .
"Although foreign cigarettes are not as harmful as opium, it is better to smoke less." Zai Jie persuaded, so far he has not caught any bad habits.
"Smoking is the most effective when you are very tired and upset. I used to light cigarettes when I was squatting in the trenches because I was afraid that I would fall asleep. Shall I stay here tonight?" He pretended to take out his pocket watch to check the time, it was only nine o'clock, and there were many rickshaws waiting outside.
"I'll go back to the ticket office by rickshaw." He replied decisively, it seemed that this person only wanted to have sex with himself from the beginning to the end, thinking of this made him sweat hot, and couldn't sit still any longer.
"Your ticket office doesn't have a bathroom, so it's inconvenient to take a bath, so take a bath to relieve fatigue." Lord Baylor has loved cleanliness since he was a child, but can he be fooled?He is doomed to fail, even so, he will do his best to lure, this is probably the instinct of a man, the prey he wants to step into the territory again must be obtained.He held his cigarette and stared at Zai Jie calmly, as if he wanted to dig out more from that beautiful face, recalling that seductive expression and confused smell, he would feel hot in his lower abdomen, if it wasn't for Liang , he may not have the chance to see Zaijie again, hehe, if he doesn't see him, he won't miss it, thinking about it every day and night if he can't eat it is called torture!
Erbeile was in a dilemma. Originally, he was a person who didn't go to the bathhouse, and only took a bath at home. Now that he didn't have the conditions to take a bath, he could only scrub in the room. He always felt that the cleaning was not thorough enough, and his body was awkward.
Seeing your young master hesitate, Brigadier Zhou then lowered his voice and said: "I know you won't go to the bathhouse, let's go, can I still eat you?" After speaking, he dragged Erbeile upstairs and went straight to his order Nice suite.
The backs of the two were seen by General Manager Liang who came here to meet a British friend. He followed curiously and saw them entering the same suite. He is a person who has seen the world. Lenovo?Could it be that Lord Baylor and Brigadier Zhou are in that kind of relationship? Zai Jie is so pretty, it's not uncommon to provoke mad bees and butterflies, but the other party's vision is a bit poor, no matter what, you have to find someone who is talented and knowledgeable. A man with enough money, right? Could it be that someone is as strong as a cow and can survive overnight with a golden gun?Compared with these words, he is not bad!For some reason, he was a little jealous...
At this time, in the Western-style suite, Brigadier Zhou took off his coat, sat on the sofa and smoked, waiting for the beauty in the bathroom to come out, alas, he couldn't help but want to smoke again.
He couldn't help turning his head to look at the brown double bed. The white bedding was neatly laid out, and the mattress was also imported from the UK. It was absolutely comfortable to lie on...
Almost an hour later, Zai Jie came out of the bathroom wearing a bathrobe, but his hair was wet, so naturally he couldn't leave immediately.
"Is it comfortable to wash?" Zhou Junyu asked, his eyes fixed on the small piece of Baylor's exposed breast, which was white, tender and smooth, which made him even more fascinated.
"Well, I'll go back when my hair is dry." The fatigue of a week was gone, and he felt extremely relaxed, so he quickly sat on the opposite sofa and closed his eyes to rest.
"Just sleep here!" As soon as the words fell, Zhou Junyu walked over and hugged Zai Jie.
The young master opened his eyes in shock, and before he could make a sound, he let this man kiss him.The same atmosphere lingered, stronger than that summer, and the smell of the sweat of a grown man made him nervous.Usually he rarely kissed his wife, and almost forgot the pleasant feeling. Zhou Junyu held his face and teased him with his tongue. He even heard the "unbearable" voice, and he became more and more dizzy, but his hands But he didn't resist, but grabbed the armrest of the sofa very nervously.
The soldier finally released Erbeile reluctantly, stroked this beautiful face and said softly: "This time, I can't let you go!"
He was stunned, his whole body was hot, and he didn't know how to turn this embarrassing scene over.
"I'm quite grateful to the Republic of China. If it wasn't for the change of dynasty, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to reach you in my life!" Zhou Junyu picked him up after finishing speaking, and strode to the bedside.
When he was crushed under the other party, his rationality came back, and he hurriedly said: "...I can't do this kind of thing with you!"
Brigadier Zhou was very embarrassed, grabbed Zai Jie's hand and touched his baby bump: "You made me like this, and you still want to run?"
The young master turned pale in shock, turned his head and whispered, "I can't help you!"
"That can't be done..." He didn't want to give domineering orders, let alone annoy Zai Jie, so he simply lifted the beauty's bathrobe, groped for the smooth, satin-like skin, and quickly untied his belt.
Before Lord Belle could start cursing, he saw a terrifying object. If he really slept with this person, he might have killed half his life, so he hurriedly struggled to escape.
Zhou Junyu grabbed his waist with a smile, and while he was busy with his work, he assisted this lovely person from the side. His provocative expression made him really want to break into the city.
The young master gradually became intoxicated by it, forgetting that he was still in danger. After being tempted for a long time, he relaxed his vigilance, raised his neck and panted slightly, but his breath was taken away after a while...
☆, provocative
It was after eleven o'clock in the middle of the night that Zai Jie returned to the ticket office from Astor. When he opened the door of the dormitory and wanted to go in, Liang Yucheng suddenly appeared behind him and stopped him.
"I came back so late, I was waiting for you." He had just arrived, so he couldn't wait to check the situation. What is gratifying is that this person didn't spend the night outside, maybe Zaijie was just in the room with Brigadier Zhou Just chatted for a while.
"Please come in." Lord Baylor opened the door, invited the boss into the room, and was busy making tea again.
One of them sat on the bed, the other sat on the sofa, and they were silent for a moment before speaking.
"I saw you and Junyu in Lishunde just now." Mr. Liang didn't want to hide it, he just wanted to know the truth.
Holding the teacup, the young master couldn't think of anything to say, so he could only reply: "He asked me out for coffee, and we chatted late." He didn't fully expect that the other party saw him in the guest room.
"Oh... what kind of friends does Lord Baylor usually like to hang out with?" This answer disappointed him, Zai Jie deliberately concealed it, maybe this person's original hobbies were men, not women.
"I don't have any friends. Apart from my younger brother and elder brother, I basically don't walk around with others. Xiaojun, no, it's Brigadier Zhou who was my childhood playmate, so it's very kind when we meet again. He is also a straightforward person." He said to himself Gu Zi said, what happened just now is still vivid in his mind, he neither refused nor ran away, but acquiesced to a certain extent, although he and Xiao Jun did not have any substantial intersection, normal men are not Probably did those things, which made him a little frustrated.
"Do you like men?" As the boss, Mr. Liang shouldn't ask such private questions, but he said it without any restraint.
Zai Jie was stunned. The handsome General Manager Liang asked such a thing. How should he answer?He smiled stiffly: "You really know how to joke!" He had no choice but to say that.
"I'm not joking. Since I dare to ask, I'm not afraid that you will call me obscene." The business elite frowned slightly. This kind of question is not elegant, or a bit obscene.
Seeing Mr. Liang's serious face, he didn't speak for a long time.
"Does it make sense to know?" Er Baylor didn't think he was obliged to answer, so he simply spoke very stiffly.
"What's so good about him? It's easy to find any man with your conditions. Zhou Junyu is just a rough guy, so he's really not good enough for you!" He was very jealous. He has a good impression, even if it is a skin-to-skin relationship, he can completely accept it.
"It's not what you think. Nothing immoral happened between us." When he said these words, the young master's back was sweating.
"Forgive me for saying too much, this is your private matter!" Although Liang Yucheng didn't believe what he said, Lord Belle was obviously very disgusted and put up a thorn in his body. If he continued talking, it might affect their cooperative relationship , So he stood up and planned to leave.
Zai Jie thought about it again, but he still couldn't let the boss go back like this, so he also got up and said: "You are worried that such things will damage the reputation of the foreign company, but I also do this for the development of the foreign company. Didn't you say Do you need the help of Brigadier Zhou?" But when he said the words, he felt that it was inappropriate, which was like a slap in the face of the general manager.
Mr. Liang turned around impulsively, looked at Lord Baylor in surprise, and quickly answered: "Are you following the order?" He intended to take advantage of this person's appearance, but he did not intend to make the employee pay the price with his body.
"You are not the emperor, why should I follow your order, just do my best as an employee, it's getting late, we all have to rest!" Your son had no choice but to issue an order to evict the guests.
"If it's for our business, there's no need to go to that level. Just now I was speaking out loud, which only added to your troubles. Go to rest early!" After saying these words, Liang Yucheng opened the door and left.
Zai Jie, who was standing behind the door, was still a little puzzled, how could Mr. Liang, who had stayed abroad and seen the world, be such a gossip?
One month later, Baylor and Quentin returned to Peiping, planning to open a branch of the ticket office here.
The trip to Shanghai was not going well. Whether it is overseas trade, those warlords will have a big bite, and the situation has not yet stabilized. Neither Quentin nor Mr. Liang can predict the future direction. It is better to do a good job of the current business , and then develop step by step.
The preparation of the semicolon fell on the two Belle masters, who were busy renovating the shop in Dong’an Market. Unlike the main branch in Tianjin, the semicolon was completely in the traditional Chinese style, which was mainly to cater to local customers. The lottery players in Beiping pay more attention to traditional culture, which is completely different from the westernized Tianjin Wei.
Zai Hong was running errands, and Zai Jie, who stayed in the store, not only watched the workers work, but also helped Quentin sort out various expenses. He was also the leader in accounting, and he was highly appreciated by Quentin.
"Erbeile should take the time to learn English. I will bring a book over tomorrow. You can study it in your spare time. If you don't understand anything, just ask me." Quentin sat in front of the counter and said with great interest. People who can keep accounts in English and can write He and Yucheng will be much more at ease.
Zai Jie crouched behind the counter and entered the expense receipts for the past few days into the account book, then raised his head and said, "I will try my best." He also felt that it was necessary to learn foreign languages. English can be described as getting twice the result with half the effort.
"I'm going to the embassy to do business, and you can keep an eye on the ticket office." Quentin put on a thick woolen coat and hurried out, got into the rickshaw at the door and left.
Your son was still fiddling with the abacus carefully, completely oblivious to the stranger coming at the door.
"Congratulations on the opening of the new shop. Sir, would you like to ask the poor Taoist to count?" The person who came was a Taoist priest in Tsing Yi, about [-] years old, with a white cloth bag slung over his shoulder. , Immortal demeanor, people can remember it at first sight.
Zai Jie put down his pen, looked at the audience, got up and replied politely: "If it's for me, it's fine, but I want you to help me find out the auspicious time. We have to choose a date for opening." He doesn't like fortune-telling, But doing business always has to be auspicious, and Quentin is more in favor of it. On the day of the opening, we should cut ribbons and set off firecrackers according to the Chinese custom, and we must find lion dancers to have fun, and by the way, announce to the neighbors in the market There is a new shop opened.
"The impoverished Taoist surname is Liu, and he placed an order at the Yimu Niangniang Temple. Today, when he came here, he found that the place is full of red light, and there must be a big business, so he came here to enjoy the glory." The Taoist priest smiled, but he was actually looking at Erbeile.
"With your good words, please sit down, Taoist priest, and you can see which day is suitable for me this month.
"China is a huge market, but unfortunately the relationship between people here is too complicated, I can't handle it, you must help me!" This is what Quentin often said.
"Well, what you said makes a lot of sense. Now that justice and morality are gone, it is indeed too difficult to be alone, and doing business is not that simple!" Erbeile recalled what Xiaojun said to himself just now, and everyone around It's jackals, tigers and leopards. If they don't show their sharp teeth, they will be eaten alive in the end. Isn't that the case with the nobles of the Manchu Qing Dynasty?
"It's good that you can understand our difficulties. Quentin and I are looking for like-minded friends, not just recruiting a few employees." So he selects people very carefully. First, he requires education and world experience. The most important thing is to really help the company, for which they can pay more.
After Mr. Liang left the room, he leaned against the bedside and thought about it. In the evening of the day after tomorrow, Xiaojun invited him to the Astor Hotel for coffee, and he didn't know what kind of medicine the other party sold in the gourd, but since he agreed, he couldn't refuse. They also said that their ticket company needs Zhou's care...
Early the next morning, the host who had just moved to Dengshikou got dressed and went out. His surname was Lu Mingsan, and everyone who knew him called him Sanye.The third master usually stays at home and occasionally goes out to do errands. People who know him think that he is a businessman and stays outside the customs most of the time, but what he does is not an ordinary business.
Lu San wore brand-new black leather boots and rode a rickshaw to the auspicious tea garden at the front door. When he entered the door, he lifted the hem of his gown, stepped upstairs and went straight to the private room, where someone was waiting for him.
It was none other than Lao Liu who was entertaining guests.
"Third Master, it's not easy to invite you!" The sixth child hurriedly asked him to sit down and poured tea courteously. For such a big deal, he had to find someone who could stand up to the situation, and this person was none other than Lu San .
"Sixth Master, you are welcome. What is the importance of looking for my younger brother today?" Lu San sat across from Lao Liu and served tea. Save face, after all, he wants to settle in Beiping in the future.
Lao Liu sighed sadly: "Oh, I didn't want to disturb you at first, but it's not that the Lian family can't do it this time, so I hope the third master can help me go this way." He wanted to try This person cannot be hired, if Lu San is there to help, it doesn't matter if there is no scoundrel Yan Si, he has some concerns, this is not an ordinary business, it is about human life, and it is about immeasurable money.
"You have to speak clearly!" Lu San put down his teacup, and calmly looked at the man across from him. One must always be on guard in the Jianghu, especially when facing such an old man.
"Beating Drums and Scolding Cao" was being performed in the tea garden, and there was a lot of noise, and the two of them had to get closer to each other when they were talking. On the contrary, this kind of place was more hidden, and no one would notice them.
"I will not hide what I have to say... Go to Zhishui to find ten middle-aged men. These people must have centenarians in their homes. Foreigners want to research new medicines, so they need their help to do experiments. Just put some blood, give each person 1000 silver dollars, including food and lodging, send these people to Tianjin, and I will give you the other half. If you promise, you can buy and sell 8 silver dollars." He asked for a price that is not low. It took ten and a half days to make a round trip, and it was only 6 yuan for Yan Si, but Lu San was worth the price.
"Oh, I'm only responsible for sending these people over, so I don't need to sign a certificate with them?" Lu San felt that there must be something strange about it. How could it be so easy to get 8 silver dollars these days, and I'm afraid that the money will be spent in the end.He can't take this risk, and he can't lose the basic sense of morality.
"Hehe, of course we don't need you anymore. We have prepared the paperwork. You only need to bring people to Tianjin, and you will settle the payment when you arrive. You will never be in arrears." The sixth son said firmly, he knew that Lu San was thinking about money, for money I can go down the mountain of knives and fry the oil pan, and live with my head on my hands.
Lu San bowed his head and thought for a moment, then smiled and replied: "Since we are here, let's finish listening to the play. This is a rare good show!" If he was asked to find a young man from the Changshou family, there were too many things he couldn't figure out, so he couldn't easily agree.
On the stage, Mi Heng beat the drum and sang: "Cao Cao's words are wrong, how can the dragon be hidden without water? How can the manger raise lions and elephants, how can the dog's lair live in the phoenix? One drum beats the sky and the earth, and the drum beats two drums to vibrate the Chao Gang .The drum beats three links to wipe out the adulterous party, and the drum beats Sitong Guotaikang. The drums make a continuous sound."
Mi Heng continued to beat the drums, and Xipi sang after shaking the board: "If you discipline your traitor, you will never die."
The spectators in the audience couldn't help applauding. This aria is very satisfying, like a warm wind blowing away the cold current in people's hearts, and making the usually dull faces a little more proud!
☆, Lian Jiazi
After Lu San finished watching the play, he said goodbye to Lao Liu, went to a restaurant on the corner, ordered food and drinks, and paid the bill first, and waited for Lao Liu to come out. He sat by the window on the second floor, just in time to see the scenery at the entrance of the theater clearly.
After a while, the other party walked out slowly and got on his own rickshaw.
Lu San hurriedly chased him out, and also called a car to keep a distance to follow. After walking for a long time, they arrived near the embassy area. The sixth man's foreign car stopped in front of a Japanese clinic, and hurriedly opened the door to enter.
He also got out of the car, looked around, detoured from the path behind the clinic, and jumped onto the gray wall without anyone noticing. His movements were as agile as a leopard. He squatted on the wall to check the situation in the yard. The backyard A black German shepherd dog was tied to sleep in the kennel, and if he acted rashly, he would definitely startle him.
Lu San calmly walked along the wall to the corner, jumped up to the roof with a "swoosh", lay down on the roof, judged the owner's location based on experience, put his ear on the tile, and listened carefully. The reason why he can live to this day is not only the fists and feet he learned from his master since he was a child, but also his excellent hearing. As long as he holds his breath and listens quietly, he can hear the conversations inside even through a thick wall. content.
The person Lao Liu met in the clinic was a Japanese doctor in his thirties. He was wearing gold-rimmed glasses, elegant, and wearing a white coat. While washing his hands, he said to Liu Ye who was sitting on the chair: Asked: "Did he agree?" I just finished the obstetric operation on a woman with dystocia, and I looked a little tired.
The clinic is small, but it looks very clean. The outer room receives patients, the inner room is the treatment room, and there are three wards through the narrow corridor. Two Japanese female nurses live in the attic. The reception here is foreigners, ordinary Chinese People cannot afford such an expensive consultation fee.
"Not yet, even if he doesn't agree, there is Yan Si, but I think Lu San is more suitable. He is a man of morality and abides by the rules. If he agrees to do this business, he will not break his promise, let alone betray him. Customer." Liu Ye tried his best to convince the other party that his biggest benefactor is Hirano Koji.
"Well, I understand that. You Chinese call this loyalty." Hirano wiped his hands and walked to the table and sat down. He spoke Chinese with a Japanese accent, but after ten years in China, he has already adapted to the local life. Everything is familiar, including the weaknesses of the Chinese people.
"He wanted to know more about it, but I didn't talk about it." Lao Liu wanted to smoke, but when he touched his pocket, he saw Hirano's stern gaze, so he had to withdraw his hand. The doctor doesn't smoke, and he hates other people smoking.
"Don't let the people who do things know too much. It's not good for us. My father told you that this is an absolute secret when we first cooperated with you 13 years ago. If it gets out, I can't guarantee what will happen." Hirano calmly As he said, what worries him the most is that Lao Liu won't be able to keep his secrets. If there are any consequences, he will have to run to close the momentum, which will be very troublesome. Everything should be clear and clear. People like to be simple and clear, and they don't beat around the bush like the Chinese do things.
"I won't reveal a word, it's just... I've been on the saddle for you for so long, just to join the church, can I have a nice word with the pastor?" His eyes were full of longing. He is over fifty years old, and he will die at some point. As long as he can live longer than others, he would rather donate all his property and leave his wife and children alone.
The Japanese doctor sneered: "I told you before that it is not a field you can enter. To join the church requires not only wealth, but also the wisdom and ability of the believers. There are rules for priests to review believers. You Do you also know what kind of people believers are?"
"Please, I'm so old, what I want is to live a few more years, to be like the pastor and his old man...!" Before the old man finished speaking, the doctor forcibly interrupted him.
"That's enough, don't talk anymore, you take care of the delivery, don't think about it, you go, I'm going to rest!" Hirano issued the order to evict the customer, and didn't want to talk nonsense with the other party.
Master Liu was in a cold sweat, and had to say with a smile on his face, "Yes, I'm going back, and I will definitely do what you asked me to do." But he was really not reconciled, he has been busy running around for more than ten years Not only for money, but also for the desire for immortality!
After the guests left, Hirano Xingzhi took off his white coat and walked into the laboratory in the backyard. He turned on the lights in the laboratory and looked at the white iron cabinet with a safety lock in the corner. He walked over and turned the combination lock to close the cabinet. The door opened, and it turned out to be a refrigerated cabinet. There were more than a dozen bottles of blood samples stored in the cabinet. He turned the glass test tubes one by one to carefully observe the color, and selected a bottle from the middle to take it under the microscope.
Hirano put a drop of blood under a glass slide and carefully observed it with his right eye. Under the microscope, the viability of blood cells in this bottle of blood sample was significantly reduced. Many cells were in a half-sleeping state and almost motionless. It seemed that the quality of these samples had dropped to the lowest level. At this point, when it is necessary to replace it, the new product must arrive in Tianjin as soon as possible.
After the sixth child left the clinic, Lu San also went back the same way. When he got home, his daughter had already fallen asleep. He closed the door of the child's room lightly and went to the living room, lit a pipe, and smoked while thinking about it.
He definitely can't do the sixth thing. Although he can't fully understand what the other party and the Japanese doctor are talking about, it must be an unreasonable business. Although he is just a bandit who can be punished by everyone, he can't do funerals for money It's a good thing, let's not spend 8 silver dollars, he Lu San should make a living by licking blood from the edge of a knife!
"Master, someone is looking for you outside!" Nanny yawned and walked in, presumably woken up by the knocking on the courtyard door.
"Go back and rest, I'm going to see the guests." After he said that, he strode out of the house and came to the gate. When he opened the door, he found that the person who came was the servant of Baylor's mansion that he met by chance that day.
"Little brother, is there anything you can do to find me so late?" No one would come to the door if there was nothing wrong, he could see the panic in Feng Ye's eyes.
Xiao Yezi bowed politely, and said in a low voice, "I know you are a man of your own, and I am here today to ask for something." Before coming, he had thought about it many times, but the person in front of him who could help him was afraid. There was only this strange outsider. He probably inquired about Lu San's background, and knew that the other party was not a local, and he was suitable to help him. In order to find out the whereabouts of his father, he would rather hand over all the money he had saved over the years to Lu San. three.
He smiled: "Let's talk in the room first!"
The two entered the north room, and Lu San made a cup of scented tea for Feng Ye, intending to sit down and chat. He couldn't guess this person, so he came to listen to the other party's argument.
"My younger brother's surname is Feng, and his name is Ye. He lived in Feng Village many years ago. In the autumn of 13 years ago, my father was dragged to sell blood by a group of people, and he never came back. On the night my father left, there were bandits in the village. Everyone except me was killed, I would like to ask my elder brother to help me find out the whereabouts of my father, if you promise, I will use all my savings as your reward." Feng Ye knew that this man lived by guns Yes, because when he was in the palace before, he often dealt with the emperor's guards. The temperament of those guards was quite similar to this person, and they also had a strong smell of gunpowder.
After hearing these words, Lu San seemed very calm. He picked up his teacup to drink tea, and then asked: "How do you know I can help you?" This is the most critical question, and his identity is not clear to ordinary people.
"I know you are a Lianjiazi, you smell of gunpowder, I used to be with soldiers a lot, and I am familiar with their smell, so I guess you can help me, besides, I have nothing else to ask now I'm dead!" He used to be just a eunuch in the imperial dining room, and he didn't have the ability to reach the sky at all, so he went to the doctor indiscriminately when he was sick.
Lu San lowered his head and asked, "Who did you ask about me?"
"The neighbors said that you are a businessman outside the customs, and you only go back to Beiping in winter. Forgive me, but you are not an ordinary businessman... I guess, you are probably a dart runner." He put his hands on his knees On the table, he was sitting upright, but he did not hide his eyes. After living for more than twenty years, this was the first time he fought for his own affairs.
The third master smiled heartily, saying that he is a dart runner is not an exaggeration.
"I have to figure out the reason for everything, so I know if I can help you. If I can do it, it's not too late to talk about it."
When Feng Ye heard this, he immediately became happy, and then said: "It's just that this matter for me may be very troublesome. I remember that the one who came to take away the men and father in the village was Yan Si, a gangster who lived in Beiping. There are some forces, and the sixth master who associates with him is also related to this matter."
As soon as Lu San heard that he mentioned Lao Liu, he knew that the matter of Feng Village was also related to the Japanese clinic, which made him even more curious.
"Little brother, let's not talk about Yan Si's rascal, just say that the sixth master is a character who can make you die and have no place to hide. You have messed up things that you can't do...whether I promise to help you or not." You, you can't talk about it with other people in the future, it's for your own good."
Xiao Yezi nodded understandingly: "I've heard of Liu Ye's name before, black and white, and even foreigners have face-saving people. I will keep my elder brother's words in mind!"
Lu San said approvingly: "You must have experienced many disasters, but the current situation is like this, every family has unspeakable sufferings, some things should not be taken too seriously, life is still alive!" As a relative, he can fully understand Feng Ye's mood, but the past is over, the key is how to survive in this difficult world, and try to live as well as possible.
☆, wishful thinking
After work on Saturday, Erbeile was invited to the Astor Hotel to have coffee with Zhou Junyu. The hotel is Victorian style, and the Western wooden furniture is elegant and luxurious, making people feel like they are in a foreign country. The foreigners who can be seen everywhere make this place very special In particular, the Chinese guests seem a little out of tune. Although the hotel is still being expanded, the guests still flock here unaffected.
They sat in the corner of the hall drinking coffee, tasting Black Forest cakes, chatting about some past events, and finally came to the privacy that Zai Jie didn't want to mention the most.
Brigadier Zhou looked at Baylor and asked with a meaningful smile, "Is your wife pretty?"
"It's okay, how many children do you have?" He didn't like to talk about this topic. He and Huarong were married by their parents. Whenever someone asked such a question, he would instinctively resent it.
"I'm not married yet. I often have to go to the battlefield. I don't have time. Sometimes I just find a woman to sleep with for a night. Most people who join the army live like this." Compared with himself, he is more worried about his sister's life-long affairs After all, the young girl's family is only a few years old, so he, the older brother, must choose a good husband-in-law for his younger sister.
"So that's how it is." He didn't expect Xiao Jun to marry late, but now it is a civilized society, and people don't advocate early marriage. He also thinks this is a very good suggestion. If most people can marry late and have children Maybe there will be fewer people. Young people have to work harder, accumulate wealth, and it’s not too late to start a family and stay there.
"Although the Republic of China is now, you banner people are still living in the shadow of the past. It is really unnecessary, but I think it is a great thing that you can come out and work for General Manager Liang." He looked down on the other party and always felt that he was a prodigal son.
The nobleman smiled wryly: "The main reason why I was able to work in the bank this time is because my younger brother Zaihong insisted on bringing me here. If it wasn't for him, I might still be hiding at home and reading every day." The wife is good at housekeeping, and they He doesn't waste money in his daily life, even if it takes another five or six years, there will be no problem, but if it takes a long time, he may have to sell the antiques at home, and he will really become a prodigal son.
"Since you live in Tianjin for the time being, we will have more time to move around. I just bought a house nearby, which is Western-style. Why don't you live with me? How can the dormitory of your foreign firm be compared to my house? I will give it to you." You prepare Simmons, let the servants serve you every day." He said that Erbeile would be with him, but now that their fate has come again, how can he let go of the opportunity?
Zai Jie frowned, and asked displeasedly: "What is it if I live with you?" They are not relatives, so why do they want to live together.
"Have you forgotten what I said back then? I want you to be with me, what else can we do, neither of us is stupid!" Although he has seen countless people, this is the first time he has met Er Baylor, Rare things are more expensive, wouldn't he be a fool if he gave up the great opportunity to others?
Lord Belle gave him a blank look, and then said indifferently: "Why don't you make any progress in this area!"
"It's not that I'm not motivated, but that I'm dedicated!" He tried his best to put gold on his face, but his words were not fake, and he never forgot the beautiful woman in front of him.
"You have found the wrong person!" He should not be included in the selection range by anyone, because he does not belong to either camp on both sides, but is caught in the gap. Those who live in the gap have no rights and can only accept it passively. .
"Ha~ It seems that your hobbies have shifted to women. How many friends do you have outside?" Zhou Junyu felt a sense of frustration. He thought that your son's interest should be with men, but he didn't expect to choose gentleness after so many years. Dear girl, although he also loves women, he still can't forget the special Lord Belle.
"No, my hobbies are not in those mundane things." He spends more time reading and writing, living a closed life, and occasionally goes outside to relax and listen to operas, but he doesn't like to talk to others. He has been like this since he was a child when he interacted with others. After the person opposite moved away, he no longer had a friend who could confide in him.
"It's like what you said. Don't people have to enjoy life? Don't you think reading is the greatest enjoyment in the world?" He didn't like reading when he was a child, so he ran away from school and joined the army. This decision was originally opposed by everyone in the family. Because he is the only son of the Zhou family after all, and bears the responsibility of continuing the incense.
Your young master put down his coffee cup and replied softly: "I don't have any other hobbies, and I don't like to meet so many people." Places with many people will make him uncomfortable, and most of them will be boring. The most difficult thing for people is to put Boredom has turned into fun, Zaihong is especially good at being in it, his elder brother Zaiqi is also better than him, he is very good at flattering, and now he runs to the emperor every day, thinking about the big event of "restoration".
"It's not bad to know more people. If you want to make things easier in the future, you might be able to start your own business in the future." After drinking his coffee, he wanted to smoke. After taking out his lighter, he smiled meaningfully at the young master. .
"Although foreign cigarettes are not as harmful as opium, it is better to smoke less." Zai Jie persuaded, so far he has not caught any bad habits.
"Smoking is the most effective when you are very tired and upset. I used to light cigarettes when I was squatting in the trenches because I was afraid that I would fall asleep. Shall I stay here tonight?" He pretended to take out his pocket watch to check the time, it was only nine o'clock, and there were many rickshaws waiting outside.
"I'll go back to the ticket office by rickshaw." He replied decisively, it seemed that this person only wanted to have sex with himself from the beginning to the end, thinking of this made him sweat hot, and couldn't sit still any longer.
"Your ticket office doesn't have a bathroom, so it's inconvenient to take a bath, so take a bath to relieve fatigue." Lord Baylor has loved cleanliness since he was a child, but can he be fooled?He is doomed to fail, even so, he will do his best to lure, this is probably the instinct of a man, the prey he wants to step into the territory again must be obtained.He held his cigarette and stared at Zai Jie calmly, as if he wanted to dig out more from that beautiful face, recalling that seductive expression and confused smell, he would feel hot in his lower abdomen, if it wasn't for Liang , he may not have the chance to see Zaijie again, hehe, if he doesn't see him, he won't miss it, thinking about it every day and night if he can't eat it is called torture!
Erbeile was in a dilemma. Originally, he was a person who didn't go to the bathhouse, and only took a bath at home. Now that he didn't have the conditions to take a bath, he could only scrub in the room. He always felt that the cleaning was not thorough enough, and his body was awkward.
Seeing your young master hesitate, Brigadier Zhou then lowered his voice and said: "I know you won't go to the bathhouse, let's go, can I still eat you?" After speaking, he dragged Erbeile upstairs and went straight to his order Nice suite.
The backs of the two were seen by General Manager Liang who came here to meet a British friend. He followed curiously and saw them entering the same suite. He is a person who has seen the world. Lenovo?Could it be that Lord Baylor and Brigadier Zhou are in that kind of relationship? Zai Jie is so pretty, it's not uncommon to provoke mad bees and butterflies, but the other party's vision is a bit poor, no matter what, you have to find someone who is talented and knowledgeable. A man with enough money, right? Could it be that someone is as strong as a cow and can survive overnight with a golden gun?Compared with these words, he is not bad!For some reason, he was a little jealous...
At this time, in the Western-style suite, Brigadier Zhou took off his coat, sat on the sofa and smoked, waiting for the beauty in the bathroom to come out, alas, he couldn't help but want to smoke again.
He couldn't help turning his head to look at the brown double bed. The white bedding was neatly laid out, and the mattress was also imported from the UK. It was absolutely comfortable to lie on...
Almost an hour later, Zai Jie came out of the bathroom wearing a bathrobe, but his hair was wet, so naturally he couldn't leave immediately.
"Is it comfortable to wash?" Zhou Junyu asked, his eyes fixed on the small piece of Baylor's exposed breast, which was white, tender and smooth, which made him even more fascinated.
"Well, I'll go back when my hair is dry." The fatigue of a week was gone, and he felt extremely relaxed, so he quickly sat on the opposite sofa and closed his eyes to rest.
"Just sleep here!" As soon as the words fell, Zhou Junyu walked over and hugged Zai Jie.
The young master opened his eyes in shock, and before he could make a sound, he let this man kiss him.The same atmosphere lingered, stronger than that summer, and the smell of the sweat of a grown man made him nervous.Usually he rarely kissed his wife, and almost forgot the pleasant feeling. Zhou Junyu held his face and teased him with his tongue. He even heard the "unbearable" voice, and he became more and more dizzy, but his hands But he didn't resist, but grabbed the armrest of the sofa very nervously.
The soldier finally released Erbeile reluctantly, stroked this beautiful face and said softly: "This time, I can't let you go!"
He was stunned, his whole body was hot, and he didn't know how to turn this embarrassing scene over.
"I'm quite grateful to the Republic of China. If it wasn't for the change of dynasty, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to reach you in my life!" Zhou Junyu picked him up after finishing speaking, and strode to the bedside.
When he was crushed under the other party, his rationality came back, and he hurriedly said: "...I can't do this kind of thing with you!"
Brigadier Zhou was very embarrassed, grabbed Zai Jie's hand and touched his baby bump: "You made me like this, and you still want to run?"
The young master turned pale in shock, turned his head and whispered, "I can't help you!"
"That can't be done..." He didn't want to give domineering orders, let alone annoy Zai Jie, so he simply lifted the beauty's bathrobe, groped for the smooth, satin-like skin, and quickly untied his belt.
Before Lord Belle could start cursing, he saw a terrifying object. If he really slept with this person, he might have killed half his life, so he hurriedly struggled to escape.
Zhou Junyu grabbed his waist with a smile, and while he was busy with his work, he assisted this lovely person from the side. His provocative expression made him really want to break into the city.
The young master gradually became intoxicated by it, forgetting that he was still in danger. After being tempted for a long time, he relaxed his vigilance, raised his neck and panted slightly, but his breath was taken away after a while...
☆, provocative
It was after eleven o'clock in the middle of the night that Zai Jie returned to the ticket office from Astor. When he opened the door of the dormitory and wanted to go in, Liang Yucheng suddenly appeared behind him and stopped him.
"I came back so late, I was waiting for you." He had just arrived, so he couldn't wait to check the situation. What is gratifying is that this person didn't spend the night outside, maybe Zaijie was just in the room with Brigadier Zhou Just chatted for a while.
"Please come in." Lord Baylor opened the door, invited the boss into the room, and was busy making tea again.
One of them sat on the bed, the other sat on the sofa, and they were silent for a moment before speaking.
"I saw you and Junyu in Lishunde just now." Mr. Liang didn't want to hide it, he just wanted to know the truth.
Holding the teacup, the young master couldn't think of anything to say, so he could only reply: "He asked me out for coffee, and we chatted late." He didn't fully expect that the other party saw him in the guest room.
"Oh... what kind of friends does Lord Baylor usually like to hang out with?" This answer disappointed him, Zai Jie deliberately concealed it, maybe this person's original hobbies were men, not women.
"I don't have any friends. Apart from my younger brother and elder brother, I basically don't walk around with others. Xiaojun, no, it's Brigadier Zhou who was my childhood playmate, so it's very kind when we meet again. He is also a straightforward person." He said to himself Gu Zi said, what happened just now is still vivid in his mind, he neither refused nor ran away, but acquiesced to a certain extent, although he and Xiao Jun did not have any substantial intersection, normal men are not Probably did those things, which made him a little frustrated.
"Do you like men?" As the boss, Mr. Liang shouldn't ask such private questions, but he said it without any restraint.
Zai Jie was stunned. The handsome General Manager Liang asked such a thing. How should he answer?He smiled stiffly: "You really know how to joke!" He had no choice but to say that.
"I'm not joking. Since I dare to ask, I'm not afraid that you will call me obscene." The business elite frowned slightly. This kind of question is not elegant, or a bit obscene.
Seeing Mr. Liang's serious face, he didn't speak for a long time.
"Does it make sense to know?" Er Baylor didn't think he was obliged to answer, so he simply spoke very stiffly.
"What's so good about him? It's easy to find any man with your conditions. Zhou Junyu is just a rough guy, so he's really not good enough for you!" He was very jealous. He has a good impression, even if it is a skin-to-skin relationship, he can completely accept it.
"It's not what you think. Nothing immoral happened between us." When he said these words, the young master's back was sweating.
"Forgive me for saying too much, this is your private matter!" Although Liang Yucheng didn't believe what he said, Lord Belle was obviously very disgusted and put up a thorn in his body. If he continued talking, it might affect their cooperative relationship , So he stood up and planned to leave.
Zai Jie thought about it again, but he still couldn't let the boss go back like this, so he also got up and said: "You are worried that such things will damage the reputation of the foreign company, but I also do this for the development of the foreign company. Didn't you say Do you need the help of Brigadier Zhou?" But when he said the words, he felt that it was inappropriate, which was like a slap in the face of the general manager.
Mr. Liang turned around impulsively, looked at Lord Baylor in surprise, and quickly answered: "Are you following the order?" He intended to take advantage of this person's appearance, but he did not intend to make the employee pay the price with his body.
"You are not the emperor, why should I follow your order, just do my best as an employee, it's getting late, we all have to rest!" Your son had no choice but to issue an order to evict the guests.
"If it's for our business, there's no need to go to that level. Just now I was speaking out loud, which only added to your troubles. Go to rest early!" After saying these words, Liang Yucheng opened the door and left.
Zai Jie, who was standing behind the door, was still a little puzzled, how could Mr. Liang, who had stayed abroad and seen the world, be such a gossip?
One month later, Baylor and Quentin returned to Peiping, planning to open a branch of the ticket office here.
The trip to Shanghai was not going well. Whether it is overseas trade, those warlords will have a big bite, and the situation has not yet stabilized. Neither Quentin nor Mr. Liang can predict the future direction. It is better to do a good job of the current business , and then develop step by step.
The preparation of the semicolon fell on the two Belle masters, who were busy renovating the shop in Dong’an Market. Unlike the main branch in Tianjin, the semicolon was completely in the traditional Chinese style, which was mainly to cater to local customers. The lottery players in Beiping pay more attention to traditional culture, which is completely different from the westernized Tianjin Wei.
Zai Hong was running errands, and Zai Jie, who stayed in the store, not only watched the workers work, but also helped Quentin sort out various expenses. He was also the leader in accounting, and he was highly appreciated by Quentin.
"Erbeile should take the time to learn English. I will bring a book over tomorrow. You can study it in your spare time. If you don't understand anything, just ask me." Quentin sat in front of the counter and said with great interest. People who can keep accounts in English and can write He and Yucheng will be much more at ease.
Zai Jie crouched behind the counter and entered the expense receipts for the past few days into the account book, then raised his head and said, "I will try my best." He also felt that it was necessary to learn foreign languages. English can be described as getting twice the result with half the effort.
"I'm going to the embassy to do business, and you can keep an eye on the ticket office." Quentin put on a thick woolen coat and hurried out, got into the rickshaw at the door and left.
Your son was still fiddling with the abacus carefully, completely oblivious to the stranger coming at the door.
"Congratulations on the opening of the new shop. Sir, would you like to ask the poor Taoist to count?" The person who came was a Taoist priest in Tsing Yi, about [-] years old, with a white cloth bag slung over his shoulder. , Immortal demeanor, people can remember it at first sight.
Zai Jie put down his pen, looked at the audience, got up and replied politely: "If it's for me, it's fine, but I want you to help me find out the auspicious time. We have to choose a date for opening." He doesn't like fortune-telling, But doing business always has to be auspicious, and Quentin is more in favor of it. On the day of the opening, we should cut ribbons and set off firecrackers according to the Chinese custom, and we must find lion dancers to have fun, and by the way, announce to the neighbors in the market There is a new shop opened.
"The impoverished Taoist surname is Liu, and he placed an order at the Yimu Niangniang Temple. Today, when he came here, he found that the place is full of red light, and there must be a big business, so he came here to enjoy the glory." The Taoist priest smiled, but he was actually looking at Erbeile.
"With your good words, please sit down, Taoist priest, and you can see which day is suitable for me this month.
