In the evening, the Chinese side held a small cocktail party to welcome the American delegation.
Of course, music and women are indispensable for a cocktail party.
The women attending the cocktail party, except for some pretty waiters in the hotel, were basically the female companions brought by the businessmen.
The band was invited from a dance hall.
Of course, these women and musicians are carefully selected and rigorously vetted.
The reception began, and amid the soothing music, men and women who had their own concerns clinked wine glasses from time to time, chatted a few words, or simply hugged each other and danced.
Lin Chuang sat in the corner, staring at Polot and Wang Hongjing. He wanted to see if Wang Hongjing would approach Polot again.
Wang Hongjing had been following Zong Yuwen and basically said nothing. He only said a few words when clinking glasses with Dexler.
Lin Chuang also noticed that Gong Shi was not with his father. He had been dancing with a beautiful woman in her thirties. After dancing one song after another, after a few dances, this guy actually dragged the girl with him.
The woman found Dexler.
"Needless to say, that woman should be from Shengshi Steel Company. It seems that Shengshi has also set its sights on the 100,000 tons of scrap steel. This is a beauty trick to get Master Gong to come forward to find Dexler.
.Hmph, it’s true, Mr. Gong, one hundred thousand tons of scrap steel belongs to your uncle. Can you go and beg your uncle to give you some of it? Go and ask Dexler to take care of it. Will he increase the quota?
?" Lin Chuang thought to himself when he saw this scene.
Just when he was thinking about this, Lin Chuang turned around and found that Wang Hongjing was missing.
Lin Chuang quickly stood up and looked around, but could not find him.
He quickly came to the door and saw Hao Ligang right there. He quickly asked in a low voice: "Brother, have you seen Wang Hongjing?"
"He has left. He said he was feeling unwell and went home. Don't worry, I have sent Zhu Xiaoguang to follow him." Hao Ligang replied.
"As a secretary, leaving the boss alone, why is this so suspicious?" Lin Chuang thought to himself.
"Okay, senior brother, you tell Zhu Xiaoguang not to expose himself, just remember where he went." Lin Chuang instructed.
"Okay, I will tell you as soon as there is news." Hao Ligang replied.
Lin Chuang returned to the reception hall and found Gong Shi already sitting where he originally sat.
"Hey, big brother, I'm looking for you everywhere. What have you been doing?" Gong Shi asked quickly when he saw Lin Chuang coming over.
"I'm going to relieve myself. If you don't dance with that girl in your arms, what are you doing with me?" Lin Chuang sat down opposite Gong Shi and asked.
"How is it? Is that girl pretty?" Gong Shi pursed his lips, and Lin Chuang took a look and saw that the woman was dancing with Dexler on the dance floor.
"It's not bad, she has charm and temperament, but she's a bit older. Young Master Gong, you won't fall in love with her, will you? Whose daughter-in-law is she?" Lin Chuang asked.
"She is the wife of Sheng Chuanhuai, the chairman of Sheng's Steel Company. Her name is Lan Yingying. Hey, don't say it, big brother, I'm really tempted." Gong Shi said with a smirk on his face.
"Come on! Put away your dirty thoughts. There are obviously new steamed buns to eat, why do you want to eat other people's leftover steamed buns?" Lin Chuang said disdainfully.
"What do you know?! What's the point of eating new steamed buns when you bring them over? It's only exciting if you grab someone else's delicious steamed buns. Do you know that I don't care whether the steamed buns are delicious or not? The key is to grab them.
The process is so exciting." Gong Shi said excitedly.
Lin Chuang listened and said nothing, tilting his head and staring at Gong Shi.
"What are you looking at?" Gong Shi asked.
"Let me see if you are sick? If you are looking for excitement, go to the corner and bump into it. If you don't think bumping against a brick wall is exciting, I will find you a stone to bump against." Lin Chuang replied.
"Go away! You poor boy doesn't understand anything. Think about it, if I catch Lan Yingying, we will secretly date, and then Sheng Chuanhuai will block her in the bed, and then Sheng Chuanhuai will find out about the hookup.
It’s me who is his wife. Although he is very angry, there is nothing he can do to me. Thinking about that scene is so exciting!” Gong Shi said excitedly, as if he had been given a shot of blood.
"Poverty has limited my imagination. You rich people are really good at playing. Okay, Mr. Gong, don't say this to a poor boy like me. I can't accept a dirty person like you. Stay away from me in the future."
Lin Chuang said with a look of disgust.
"Hey, what's the point of living your life without some excitement?" Gong Shi replied.
"I'm too lazy to pay attention to you. Hey, where is your follower?" Lin Chuang knew that it would not make sense to talk to him, and he was not interested in caring about his private life. Seeing that Min Tuo, who had been following him all the time, was not around, he asked casually.
"I said I felt unwell and went home," Gong Shi replied.
"Oh." Lin Chuang responded and thought to himself: "Another one who is not feeling well, another one who has left his master alone."
…
Americans love to play very much. By the time the reception ended, it was already eleven o'clock.
After sending Polott back to his room, Lin Chuang confirmed his safety, then returned to room 337 and invited Hao Ligang, Wu Liangce, and Tian Biyu to discuss what happened today.
"Today has been a very peaceful day, but I know that the hidden Japanese agent must not be idle. He must be secretly looking for opportunities to strike. Fatty, Xiaoyu, have you noticed anything suspicious?" Lin Chuang asked.
"No suspicious behavior was found among the people who approached Polot today." Wu Liangce went through the people who approached Polot that day in his mind, and finally came to a conclusion.
"I haven't heard anything suspicious here." Tian Biyu said.
"Brother, where are you?" Lin Chuang asked Hao Ligang again.
"No, everything looks normal." Hao Ligang said.
"Is Zhu Xiaoguang back?" Lin Chuang asked.
"He came back. He said that after Wang Hongjing left the hotel, he did not go home directly, but went to a warehouse and bought a kerosene stove." Hao Ligang replied.
"Buying a stove? How long has he been there?" Lin Chuang asked.
"A little more than five minutes." Hao Ligang replied.
"This time is within the normal range. However, he said he would not go home or go to the hospital when he was sick, which is very suspicious. What is the name of that warehouse?" Lin Chuang asked.
"Yonghui Warehouse." Hao Ligang replied.
"Oh, put this warehouse under surveillance. Oh, no, what do you call that warehouse? Yonghui?" Lin Chuang suddenly remembered something and asked again.
"Yes, it's called Yonghui. Do you know this warehouse?" Hao Ligang asked.
"Is it south of Dongtou Road, Zhongshan East Road?" Lin Chuang asked.
"Yes, have you been there?" Hao Ligang asked immediately.
"Oh, I've been there and bought something at that warehouse." Lin Chuang nodded, then stopped talking, frowned, and fell into deep thought.
"Isn't Yonghui Warehouse Yu Gaoyuan's warehouse? Wang Hongjing did not hesitate to lie and leave his superiors alone in order to see him. Is he also a member of the underground party? Why is he so eager to see Yu Gaoyuan? Is it possible that the underground party is also trying to get involved in this situation?
Are there any benefits to be gained from the negotiation?”
Thinking of this, Lin Chuang was secretly frightened.
