Chapter 315: The Banquet

Everyone has their own secrets, and everyone has their own different missions. Lao Fan has his principles and missions, and he also has them.

Chen Miao continued to stay in Zhaofeng Park for a while, and also 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 other courtyard where he was Lane 1136 in Yuyuan.

Lin Shiqun spared no effort to take advantage of the Wang family, but Chen Zhibo and Zhou Fuhai belong to two factions. Can Zhou Fuhai feel comfortable when he stepped on two boats like this?

He seemed to have violated the taboo of politicians.

Tonight, he is not the protagonist, so he doesn't have to consider Lin Shiqun, but there are some things that have to be guarded against, whether it is a gentleman or a villain.

There are some things he must be careful about.

"Brother Third, do you think it's better for me to wear that dress?" When he returned to Maggie's apartment, Liang Xueqin was also changing clothes and was about to go out at any time.

"That gray tress is good. We wear simpler clothes and don't be overwhelming." Chen Miao said.

"Oh." Liang Xueqin put down the purple cheongsam in her hand, reached out to pick up the gray tweed coat, put it on, and looked in front of the mirror.

"Xueqin, tonight, we are just accompanying guests, and we must be careful when talking and eating. If it involves political aspects, you will say that you are not interested or don't understand. Anyway, you are an actor who sings Pingtan, and they will not make things difficult for you." Chen Miao said, "and try not to drink too much alcohol or drinks to avoid needing to go to the bathroom."

Liang Xueqin nodded.

"Don't bring the gun. Xiaoqi and I are here, and I can't protect you?" Chen Miao saw Liang Xueqin put the thunder in his palm into his small leather bag and reminded her.

"Yes." Liang Xueqin took out the gun and put it in the drawer of the dressing table.

"Qiao'er, if you are afraid at home alone, go with us. You and Xiaoqi are just a companion in the car?" Chen Miao said to Qiao'er.

"Brother Third, I won't go. Stay at home and cook hot water to wait for you to come back." Qiao'er hesitated for a moment, but still didn't go with her.

“Okay.”

Chen Miao and Liang Xueqin rushed to the villa of Lane 1136 in Yuyuan. It was the time when thousands of families were lit. The concession was now an isolated island, surrounded by Japanese troops.

As long as the Japanese army wants to enter, they can do it at any time.

However, Japan does not want to go directly with Europe and the United States, and the time is not yet ripe.

Chen Miao got out of the car first and opened the car door for Liang Xueqin, then took her hand and got out of the car: "Third brother, I'll do it myself."

"Oh, the Sanshui brothers and sister Xueqin are here." Ye Yuru called out a black Shujin cheongsam, put on a sable vest, and walked out of the gate to welcome guests.

"Sister Yuru."

"Quick, please sit inside." Ye Yuru enthusiastically held Liang Xueqin up the steps with one hand and pointed the direction of the living room behind the door with the other hand.

"Where is the director?"

"He is taking a shower upstairs and changing clothes." Ye Yuru explained.

When he arrived at the living room, Chen Miao met another guest tonight, Xia Zhongming and his wife. He had never seen her before, and she had seen her for the first time.

"Mum Wu, serve tea."

"I had known that Director Chen had long hidden the Pingtan Queen of Shanghai to the golden house. I finally saw it today. It was so beautiful." Xia Zhongming couldn't help but exclaim when he saw Liang Xueqin.

"Secretary Xia, my sister-in-law is still here." Chen Miao smiled, "Be careful when you go back to the washboard tonight?"

"Haha..." Xia Zhongming smiled awkwardly. Mrs. Xia looked at Liang Xueqin with curiosity. She had a master, so she was not so worried.

"Sanshui and his brother and sister are here?" As he spoke, Lin Shiqun came down from the upstairs with a refreshed look on his face. He saw everyone in the living room and greeted him.

"Hello director."

"Sit and do. Mr. Zhibo just called. He still has some things to deal with, and he will be there in a while." Lin Shiqun laughed and raised his hands slightly.

Big people are always the last to appear, which is in line with official customs.

After chatting for a few seconds, the Four Yewen and his wife also arrived. In this way, including Lin Shiqun and his wife, there were four pairs, and a large round table was filled with ten people, and Chen Zhibo was probably the only one left.

But Chen Zhibo's wife did not come to Shanghai with him. Could it be that he came alone tonight?

It is unlikely that if Chen Zhibo attended the banquet alone, Lin Shiqun would not have asked them to bring their wives with them.

Chen Zhibo should have brought a female companion, but he doesn’t know who this female companion is.

A person who is willing to be a traitor and is expected to be a traitor will have more conscientiousness in his private life? Chen Miao feels that this requirement seems to be a bit high.

Men have their own topics about men, and women also have topics about women. They all separate and started chatting casually.

As we talked about this, we naturally talked about the case of Zhaofeng General Association.

Chen Miao was the person in charge of this case. Xia Zhongming and Fu Yewen were curious and naturally asked. Chen Miao could only deal with it carefully. Some words could not be said casually, even if these two were Lin Shiqun's confidants.

Not long after.

"Director, Mr. Zhibo's car has arrived!" Zhang Lu quickly stepped in and reported.

"Let's go, let's go to the door to greet me?" Lin Shiqun stood up and greeted.

Sure enough, Chen Zhibo was wearing a brown tweed dress, with a big back and a short hair on his arms. He got off the car with a very elegant woman.

"Mr. Zhibo and Miss Mo are here. The humble house is so full of glory. Come and invite it inside!" Lin Shiqun welcomed the two into the gate courtyard with great enthusiasm.

After entering the living room, Lin Shiqun introduced Chen Zhibo to Chen Miao and others one by one, and shook hands politely and exchanged greetings.

When introducing Liang Xueqin, a famous Pingtan guy who is famous in Shanghai, a bright light burst out from Chen Zhibo's eyes.

Especially when Lin Shiqun introduced that Liang Xueqin and Chen Miao were about to get married, their eyes were obviously disappointed, and all this was observed in Chen Miao.

However, Miss Mo, brought by Chen Zhibo, always greeted others with a smile, and I couldn't tell any special changes in her heart.

vase?

Chen Miao didn't believe that in such an occasion, Chen Zhibo would bring a vase over, and the others were their wives or were preparing to get married like Chen Miao.

Chen Zhibo wants to bring a female companion, at least he has some identity.

"Ye Wen, Sanshui, Zhongming, the beautiful and generous lady beside Mr. Zhibo's side is Mo. She is the secretary of Mr. Zhibo's entourage. She graduated from the Department of Political Science at Yan University and is a talented woman!"

"Mo Xin, please give me some advice!" Mo Xin said generously.

"Miss Mo is polite."

After some politeness, Lin Shiqun asked someone to serve tea, and everyone chatted in the living room. Chen Zhibo was very interested in Liang Xueqin. The other wives had no talent and could not find any topics to talk about when they first met.

This is probably why Lin Shiqun insisted that Chen Miao take Liang Xueqin to the banquet.

Chen Zhibo is indeed very talkative and knowledgeable. He is worthy of being a scholarly family. He has a special liking for old feelings. Many of the lyrics in Pingtan come from old and lyrics, which can have many common topics.

Putting aside his identity and political stance, Chen Zhibo does attract women to admire him. Mo Xin can tell that when he looks at his admiration and admiration, he can see it.

Everyone encouraged it.

Liang Xueqin, who had not spoken for a long time, sang two excerpts from "The West Chamber" and "The Legend of the White Snake", which won a lot of applause.

"Mr. Zhibo, Miss Mo, let's go to the table. The food will be cold in a while." Lin Shiqun urged.

"Okay." Chen Zhibo was still a little unsatisfied, but those who came to have dinner today were not here to listen to the meeting, and they could not forget the important things.

After three rounds of wine.

On the grounds that he did not talk about politics but only talked about the romanticism, the topic returned to Liang Xueqin.

"What a pity, if Miss Liang's voice doesn't sing from now on, it will be a big loss in the Pingtan world!" Chen Zhibo couldn't help but sigh.

"Yes, Sister Xueqin, although we women are married, it is their duty to take care of our husbands and children, but times have changed. Men and women are equal, and we must also have our own careers, what do you think?" Ye Yuru echoed.

"This is because of some trivial matters. After hearing that Xuelou is closed, I plan to open another bookstore, but I haven't found a suitable garden, so it's delayed." Chen Miao explained.

"That's right, with Miss Liang's identity and status, the garden will definitely not work if it is small."

"The venue matters are easy to solve, but it really doesn't work. Let's buy a piece of land and build one by ourselves." Ye Yuru said magnanimously.

"If we build a bookstore, we have time to go to the house. We can also make an appointment to drink tea, play cards, etc. There is a fixed place here, 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 did not object. On the contrary, from the smile on the corner of his mouth, he seemed to be very encouraging.

This woman named Mo Xin is afraid that her status is not simple around Chen Zhibo. The talented woman of Yan can express her opinions in front of Chen Zhibo at will. Is she really just a secretary of the follower?

Obviously not.

"Miss Mo's words make sense. This is a good idea. If you build this bookstore, there will be many benefits." Ye Yuru hurriedly flattered.

"Sanshui, what do you think?"

"Director, since my sister-in-law and Miss Mo both said that there are so many benefits of building a bookstore, I don't agree with it. But since we build a bookstore, we are naturally aiming to make money. If we don't do the business that loses money, it's better to set up a club or something to entertain ourselves." Chen Miao said hurriedly.

"Well, Sanshui's words make sense. If you don't make money, it's better not to build it." Lin Shiqun echoed.

"Director Lin and Director Chen, I personally suggest that after the bookstore is completed, the management matters will be fully handed over to Ms. Liang. We can help share the cost. If you make a profit, you can pay dividends. If you can't make a profit, you can just take it as a pleasure. What do you guys say?" Mo Xin suggested with a smile.

"Miss Mo's suggestion is pertinent. Come on, I suggest a drink for this suggestion." Lin Shiqun laughed and stood up and raised his glass.

"Dry!"

...

"Mr. Zhibo, please walk slowly. Welcome to come frequently with Miss Mo."

"Thank you, Director Lin, for being able to listen to Miss Liang's song. Chen's trip is worth the price today..." Chen Zhibo was reluctantly helped by Mo Xin into the car.

"Director Lin, sister-in-law, we have also said goodbye." Chen Miao and Liang Xueqin also said goodbye and left.

"Go slowly."

"Third brother, I'm a little scared." In the car, Liang Xueqin snuggled tightly in Chen Miao's arms. The meal tonight was not delicious, and even the table of carefully prepared dishes were eaten in her mouth, which was as delicious as chewing wax.

"Don't be afraid, I'm there. I believe that third brother, we can overcome these difficulties." If it weren't for the trust of these senior Japanese and puppet spies and obtaining 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 house to attend the banquet was probably because he was attracted by the power of the agents in Lin Shiqun's hands. He, a latecomer, wanted to have greater voice in the Wang family's group, and was inseparable from the support of his subordinates.

As for Lin Shiqun, in addition to pleasing Zhou Fuhai, he was also desperately trying to lean on Wang. This guy wanted to bet on both ends.

In order to gain power, he really did everything. He was so disgusting toward Chen Zhibo's flattering attitude tonight at the table.
