Chapter 145 144. Taking both public and private considerations into account
The local servant came to Danyuan with a wheelchair and told Fu Xinghan and Ah Hui to go to the dining room to eat.
Upon seeing this, Ah Hui waved his hand towards the servant: "My legs are inconvenient, forget it, I'll just eat here!"
"Mr. Watanabe specially asked me to push you to the dining room. He said that today he has invited County Magistrate Jiang and Governor Yan to come. Please be sure to be there. After dinner, Mr. Watanabe will also play mahjong with the guests. Please participate.
"
After the servant finished speaking, he handed a stack of money to Ah Hui: "This is the capital Mr. Watanabe asked me to give to you."
Ah Hui took the stack of money, shook it with a smile, and stuffed it into his shirt pocket: "Okay, I'll go right away."
Fu Xinghan didn't expect Watanabe to invite Shuyou Jiang to play mahjong so quickly. It seemed that Watanabe couldn't wait to avenge his shame at the card table, and Shuyou Jiang was a popular figure in Watanabe's eyes and a traitor that Watanabe relied on.
, and the addition of Governor Yan means that what they talked about at the card table may be related to counterfeit money, and today's mahjong may be a bit mysterious.
"Then you wait outside and I'll change his clothes."
"Okay, Boss Yu."
After the servants exited, Fu Xinghan put Ah Hui into a suit and said with a smile: "Watanabe couldn't wait to use you. He must have wanted to wash away his shame at the card table. You let Watanabe get his wish this time."
, he will treat you as a treasure from now on."
"This is my value to Watanabe!" Ahui's mouth twisted.
Fu Xinghan whispered to Ah Hui: "Ah Hui, cheer up later and listen carefully to what they are saying, do you understand?"
"I know, don't worry, I know what I should do." Ah Hui smiled and winked at Fu Xinghan.
Fu Xinghan came to the dining room first. When Shuyou Jiang saw him, he immediately stepped forward and said, "Oh, Boss Yu, I thought you were going on tour with Cheng Jiaban in other places. I didn't expect to see you in Watanabe-kun's Xinlu today.
What a great honor!”
Although Fu Xinghan heard the implication of Jiang Shuyou's words, he still smiled lightly: "County Magistrate Jiang is so polite. Jade Dragonfly can be where it is today thanks to the support of Magistrate Jiang, Mr. Watanabe, Mr. Seto and other theater fans. I want to
Speaking of honor, I, as a Liyuan disciple, feel deeply honored to have met so many like-minded people."
Jiang Shuyou pulled Yan Ke over: "Old Yan, let me introduce to you. This is the Jade Dragonfly, Boss Jade, the pillar of the Cheng family class who played Princess Iron Fan so vividly that I mentioned to you.
Boss, this is Yan Ke, the president of Fuyun Bank."
"Oh, you are Boss Yu. I heard Brother Jiang mention it, and he was full of praise for you! I saw you today, you are really extraordinary!"
"Thank you very much, Mr. Yan."
At this time, the servant pushed Ah Hui into the dining room with a wheelchair. When Watanabe saw Ah Hui come in, he quickly introduced to Shuyou Jiang and Manager Yan: "This is the new guest I was talking about, Mr. Xu Xiaohui."
"Watanabe-kun, your new customer is so young!" Manager Yan smiled and stretched out his hand: "Hello, my name is Yan Ke, and I am the president of Fuyun Bank in Yujiang County."
"Nice to meet you, nice to meet you." Ah Hui smiled and shook hands with Yan Ke.
"I am the county magistrate of Yujiang County, and my name is Jiang Shuyou."
"County Magistrate Jiang, I have long admired your name." Ah Hui bowed his hand to Shuyou Jiang in greeting.
"What's wrong with Mr. Xu's legs? Why is he in a wheelchair?" Jiang Shuyou wondered how Ah Hui could become disabled at such a young age.
"Oh, Mr. Xu's leg was involved in a car accident a few days ago, but it's not serious. The doctor said it will take some time to recover." Watanabe covered up for Ah Hui.
"Oh, but it's lucky, lucky! Oh, where is Mr. Xu's job?"
"Oh, Mr. Xu is the magician I invited." Watanabe introduced him to Jiang Shuyou and Yan Ke before Ah Hui could speak.
"Mr. Watanabe is really good at recognizing talents! How about asking Mr. Xu to show us some skills?" Jiang Shuyou became interested after hearing this.
"Mr. Xu's legs and feet are inconvenient today. When Mr. Xu's legs and feet are flexible, we will ask him to perform some magic tricks for us." Watanabe quickly declined for Ah Hui.
A few people were chatting there, but Seto couldn't wait any longer and whispered to Watanabe quietly: "Watanabe-kun, hurry up and start the banquet. Yukiko and I are both so hungry that our stomachs are growling."
Watanabe nodded: "Come on, come on, everyone, please sit down and sit down. Let's eat and talk."
Most of the guests today were Chinese, so we changed to Chinese food. Everyone chatted while eating, and the atmosphere was harmonious. The things they talked about were nothing more than compliments on Watanabe and Seto, their appreciation of Fu Xinghan, and so on.
After dinner, Ah Hui was left behind. Seto also stayed because he wanted to discuss counterfeit money with Watanabe, Jiang Shuyou and Yan Ke, while Xuezi and Fu Xinghan left.
The five people came to a lounge, where mahjong was already laid out. Seto sat aside, and the other four people sat at the mahjong table.
"Today I specially invited Mr. Xu to accompany me and play mahjong with us. After Mr. Xu injured his leg, he stayed in the house and was very bored. I asked someone to come and play mahjong today. He was very interested. The four of us were just right.
Let’s gather a table together.”
"This is good, Watanabe-kun. From now on, you won't have to worry about missing three or one." Jiang Shuyou chuckled, and said with a smile in his heart: This Watanabe is just a young man. As long as someone plays with him, he will be happy.
He didn't care about winning or losing at all. Since he became obsessed with mahjong, he asked Chinese people like him to play mahjong with him every three days. Although he lost nine out of ten bets, he still enjoyed it and couldn't extricate himself. Today he called a lame man over to play cards. I'm afraid he was looking for someone to play mahjong.
He hired someone weaker than himself to back him up.
For the first half hour, everyone just played cards and didn't talk about anything else. Everyone had their own win or loss on the cards. But after half an hour, Watanabe started to win money. He repeatedly mishandled the cards and often touched himself. Watanabe was so happy that he couldn't stop talking.
They are no longer together. Jiang Shuyou and Yan Ke have been taking out money. They feel strange that this Watanabe is a mahjong novice. In the past, he lost nine out of ten bets when playing cards. The rest of the time, others let him go.
Yes, the sun is really shining in the west today, and I actually got all the cards.
"Watanabe-kun, I've been watching you with admiration for three days. I didn't expect your poker skills to improve so quickly!"
"County Magistrate Jiang, I'm very lucky today. I can get whatever cards I want. All my wishes come true!"
At about nine o'clock, Seto whispered a few words into Watanabe's ear, and Watanabe began to chat with Jiang Shuyou and Yan Ke in Japanese.
"Jiang Sang, how is the people's livelihood situation in your Yujiang County recently?" Watanabe started to talk about counterfeit banknotes.
Watanabe did not shy away from Fai, because in the torture room, he saw that Fai could not understand Ito's questions at all and had to wait until they were translated into Chinese before he could respond, so he concluded that Fai did not understand Japanese.
Therefore, he dared to talk about such secret matters with Seto, Jiang Shuyou and Yan Ke without any precautions.
"Watanabe-kun, about 200 million counterfeit banknotes have been issued in our county. The current price of agricultural products has increased by about 15% on average. Many people have begun to complain about the skyrocketing prices, especially grain. Now every stone of grain has increased.
Twenty percent. Many poor people are already planning to leave their hometowns and go to places with lower prices. At present, there are probably more than a thousand people leaving their hometowns in Yujiang County." Jiang Shuyou answered Watanabe's question while playing cards.
