On the night of December 24, the U.S. Consulate General in Guangzhou was brightly lit. George held a grand reception here and invited many celebrities in Guangzhou to participate to celebrate Christmas Eve together.
Ouyang Yun was originally not interested in participating, and his reasons were very good. Tensions were rising in North and Central China, and a major battle was about to begin. As a member of China's military armed forces, even though he was not assigned a combat mission, But you shouldn’t indulge in entertainment at this time,
This kind of reason is feasible to deal with George, but when it comes to the three prospective ladies, especially Gu Lianyun, it is not convincing at all. Gu Lianyun's reason to refute him is also very sufficient: "The more this is the case, the more you have to Act calmly. Only in this way can you give confidence to the people under your rule. Listen to me. Our whole family will be out for this cocktail party. Meiren, you and Liusu go and iron his new general uniform. Let’s learn from Bingjun. Commander-in-Chief, you can’t be too shabby.”
Gu Lianyun is worthy of being a diplomat in the United States. Not long after she came back, the internal affairs of the family were taken care of. Now, Pan Meiren, Bai Liusu, Liu Kui and others have already acquiesced in Ouyang Mrs. Yun’s status,
The three women worked together to make Ouyang Yun look like a groom. Then, Bai Liusu drove the family of four directly to the U.S. Consulate General in Guangzhou without any guards.
The Commander-in-Chief's family of four appeared together in public for the first time. This was a huge stunt. The family of four hadn't even appeared yet. In the lobby of George's Consulate General, this incident had already become the number one snack that night.
"General Ouyang Yun, the commander-in-chief of the Xuebing Army, has arrived."
The loud voice of the master of ceremonies sounded at the door. Surrounded by the three women, Ouyang Yun got out of the car and walked onto the red carpet.
George and others, who had been waiting at the door for a long time, immediately greeted me with smiles on their faces: "Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, it's great that you can come."
Ouyang Yun was still a little absent-minded when he got off the bus. When he got off the station, he found that his eyes were full of people. He was startled and gave George a military salute. He frowned and asked, "Why are there so many people?"
George smiled slyly: "I heard that your whole family is coming. We are here to see your ladies."
Ouyang Yun smiled bitterly, and then he realized why even this girl Bai Liusu was not wearing a military uniform today but was wearing a cheongsam instead. It turned out that she was vying for beauty and beauty. He knew that Americans could not do things for the sake of excitement. Behind the scenes There must be some purpose. After greeting a group of old acquaintances, he pulled George aside and asked: "Today is not just about celebrating Christmas. If you have anything to do, you have to say hello to me in advance, otherwise , don’t blame me for not giving you face then.”
George laughed loudly after hearing this, raised his thumbs and said, "I knew I couldn't hide it from you. Haha, it's nothing too special. I'm just taking the opportunity to hold a small charity sale." As he spoke, his face straightened and he said : "General, although I, George, am an American through and through, I have lived in China for so many years, been influenced by your country's questions, and understand the allusions of repaying kindness. I have been able to survive from a young consul to today. Our achievements are inseparable from your care and help from Xuebingjun. In my mind, I have long regarded you and Xuebingjun as my friends and second hometown. Therefore, for your army, I I have deep feelings. I heard that you are currently trying every possible means to build an aircraft carrier fleet, but there is a big gap in funds. Originally, I should have helped you make suggestions to those politicians at home, but you also know that I am a man of few words. , I’m afraid I can’t help you much in terms of policy, so I can only help raise some funds in a small way, you shouldn’t refuse, right?”
Ouyang Yun didn't expect that he still had such thoughts. He was very moved and said with a smile: "Of course, my friend."
"Haha, please come in then. The reception hasn't started yet. It's just waiting for you and your family."
Compared with the East and the West, the nightlife of Westerners is richer. This is why after Westerners settled in Hong Kong and Shanghai, they became Night Shanghai and the origin of the name Night Hong Kong. Guangzhou was once so extravagant. , at night, the neon lights flash and various nightclubs are noisy, and they always have to toss until one or two o'clock in the morning before stopping. After Xuebingjun settled in, because Jiang Shuren was disgusted with these, under his conscious control of public opinion, this trend After seeing the end, and the war situation became more tense later, in order to resist the war, this kind of extravagance and waste in life was completely put an end to it.
Of course, tonight is bound to be an exception,
Tonight, there were quite a few big guys invited to Xuebingjun. Four of the recognized six giants came, including Jiang Shuren, Li Tieshu and Ji Xingwen, who all brought their families, but Li Han did not come. Hun and Jiang Guangnai, the two new bosses, also asked their adjutants or relatives to bring their own items for the charity sale.
Under George's personal auspices, the charity sale and reception were held at the same time. Then something quite embarrassing happened for Ouyang Yun. The first thing that George brought out for the charity sale turned out to be his first dance tonight.
"The first item of the charity sale, Commander-in-Chief of the Cadet Army, General Ouyang Yun, has the right to dance for the first dance tonight. I declare that only ladies have the right to participate in this auction." George's face was red, thinking he was humorous. After saying this to Huamai, Ouyang Yun immediately became a supernova on the spot.
Ouyang Yun was talking to Li Tieshu with a bottle of red wine in his hand. He didn't hear what George said at all. But when he found that almost everyone's eyes were directed towards him, he tugged on his clothes without knowing why. He straightened his posture and asked Li Tieshu secretly: "What's wrong with me?"
Li Tieshu suppressed his laughter and relayed George's words. His face immediately turned red with embarrassment and he said angrily: "What do the Americans want to do?"
George was still showing off in a self-righteous manner and greeted the three Gu Lianyun girls: "Three beautiful ladies, I'm sorry, the Commander-in-Chief's first dance can only be dedicated to the glorious cause of anti-Japanese war."
Gu Lianyun and Pan Meiren were well-behaved and didn't say anything. Bai Liusu didn't want to work anymore. At that time, he threatened: "Yellow-haired devil, what are your intentions?" George was so frightened that he almost ran away.
On the lawn outside the consulate, Tsunene and his people were eating a buffet. The buffet outside was used to entertain distinguished guests and subordinates. They followed Takahashi Ryoko all the way, swaggering into the consulate area, and then looking for a place casually. Sitting down and starting to work,
Chang Gen didn't need to personally take action tonight, but there were too many people. He was worried about something happening, so he decided to sit in personally. Fortunately, George had greeted the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and he knew the process and the participants, so it didn't matter. Instead of panicking, Hu Tong's plainclothes Internal Affairs Department officers were everywhere, and from time to time someone would come close to report the situation in a certain direction: "Boss, there's no problem."
"Be careful. If you are not from Guangzhou, keep a close eye on them. By the way, there are also consulate staff."
"yes."
At this time, the charity sale in the hall is reaching its climax.
Ouyang Yun sat between Ji Xingwen and Li Tieshu, neither leaving nor staying, with a rather embarrassed expression.
After more than ten rounds of bidding, there are now only two people bidding. One of them turns out to be Shang Lian'er, and the other, to everyone's surprise, turns out to be Takahashi Ryoko.
This made Ouyang Yun very dissatisfied with his three women. In addition to him, the three of them had to compete with each other no matter what. After all, they were the legitimate ones. But now it seems that apart from Bai Liusu, they seem a little angry. , Gu Lianyun and Pan Meiren were like spectators, looking relaxed and comfortable,
Seeing their performance, he couldn't help but think maliciously: "It's a pity that my right to the first night is gone, otherwise..."
Japanese people should not treat things with common sense. As the saying goes, between true and false, it doesn't matter whether it is true or false. But Ouyang Yun couldn't believe that she fell in love with him at first sight. Although he was not very old, he was like a person from two lifetimes. , In addition, the butt determines the head, and what is in the mind all day long is some big things. How can he have such leisurely time to think about these children's things? What he can't figure out is why Shang Lian'er wants to get involved, Shang Lian'er Why did Er Ze come to join in the fun? She naturally had a reasonable reason, and this connection also lies with Pan Mei and Bai Liusu. It turns out that after the development of the past two years, Shang Lian'er and Liu Zheliang have secretly felt pain. Even Shang's father secretly nodded his head. Unexpectedly, Pan and Bai were responsible for this. Shang Lian'er, who didn't know the truth, naturally thought that it was an Oriental woman who was causing trouble. She not only seduced the commander-in-chief, but also wanted to fish him away. Her golden son-in-law, she will naturally confront her,
It's really a mess,
After five minutes passed, the first auction was finally hammered down, and the result was beyond everyone's expectations. Just when Takahashi Ryoko reported the astonishing figure of thirty-eight thousand silver dollars, and the second round of bidding was already underway, the price continued. In the unknown west corner of the hall, a bid sign was suddenly raised, and then a tall white man stood up and shouted: "Forty thousand."
The whole place was in an uproar, and everyone's eyes immediately focused there, including Takahashi Ryoko and Shang Lian'er. Everyone saw the tall white man first, and they couldn't help but feel a little weird. They kept silent but thought to themselves: I didn't expect that we always The commander's charm turned out to be huge. It was not only suitable for both Chinese and foreigners, but also suitable for both men and women. Standing next to him, he saw a Western girl wearing a dress, with blond hair and a pair of blue eyes. It suddenly dawned on him that he finally understood. What's going on? Everyone's eyes were wandering between the Western girl and Takahashi Ryoko. Occasionally they peeked at Ouyang Yun, which unknowingly pushed the atmosphere in the hall to a climax.
At first, Ouyang Yun thought that George did this because he fell into Takahashi Ryoko's beauty trap, but now he realized that there was someone else involved in the beauty trap. He was filled with hatred and said, "What the hell." Look. The look in Xiang George's eyes was quite unfriendly.
