In the lounge, Yelia was sitting on the sofa chatting with Wu Kefan. The translator Zhang Keyao was sitting behind the two of them and was busy talking from Chinese to English. When he saw Li Guolou coming out, Wu Kefan said angrily: "Hey, Bao
Sir, didn't your meeting last for three or four hours from the beginning? Why did it end so quickly? I haven't met the French distinguished guests yet. Xiao Lizi has nothing to do with you here. Translator Zhang conveyed my admiration for Jelia.
They all said it boldly and straightforwardly.”
Li Guolou ignored everyone's teasing and said: "Dear Jelia, why don't you go home and rest? Just ask your servant to stay here. Aren't you tired after sitting for such a long time?" He stretched out his hand as he spoke.
Lift Jelia up and learn the manners of an English gentleman without any coyness.
Jelia stood up gracefully, bowed slightly to say goodbye to the officers, and said: "I will spend lunch with Mike, and your expenses today will be recorded in my account."
Several officers were happy and regretful at the same time, so they could only give Li Guolou a lunch break, and later asked Li Guolou to find a high-end prostitute for them.
Li Guolou was a little dissatisfied and did not want to play the role of Turtle Gong anymore. He pointed at Zhang Keyao and said: "Brother Zhang, I leave the affairs of the three adults to you. You are such an old man and you can't ask for advice from a foreign girl."
? The chips are all in Xiao Wu’s hand, so feel free to use them. Yesterday you were new faces, and the foreign girl gave you a knife. Don’t be an onion today, and take more money home.”
When Zhang Keyao asked if it was true, all the chips went to Wu Defu, he patted his chest and laughed, saying: "Little Plum is on me, Marilyn is good, I'll go treat her to lunch first." He wanted to be the first to get started, and after lunch
He was afraid that if Marilyn was invited by another gentleman, he would have no chance.
Upon hearing this, Wu Defu turned to look at Bao Yiyi and said, "How about we also invite three foreign girls to have lunch together? Anyway, someone will sign the lunch bill."
Wu Kefan said anxiously: "Xiao Wu, do you still need to ask for instructions? Let's go quickly." After saying this, the few of them walked together arm in arm.
Bao acted like a senior official and walked at the back unhurriedly. Every time there was an event, he always picked the first-class prostitutes first, so he was never in a hurry.
Jelia looked at the departing figures of several Qing officials and said: "Mike, your officers are very good and have no airs at all, unlike us French nobles who walk around with their heads held high all day long and immediately stretch out their hands to take advantage of women when they meet them.
Your friend is just joking, but he doesn't dare to do anything. He is not as brave as you."
Li Guolou looked up to the sky and smiled, stopped and said: "Yeliya, you don't understand me. I have been assimilated by the British. I am just like the British at heart. I will not let go of a beautiful woman when I meet one."
Yelia hooked Li Guolou's arm, stared at Li Guolou with a pair of sapphire eyes, blinked her eyelashes, as innocent as a little girl, and said softly: "Mike, I'm not hungry yet, we'll wait."
I’ll go have lunch later and finish half of what I did in the morning.”
The two foreign gentlemen passing by couldn't help but turn their heads to look at Li Guolou and Yelia. They both understood the deep meaning in English and could read their expressions. The enthusiasm of the prom prince and princess has not diminished yet, and they are too enthusiastic.
Alright.
Li Guolou ignored the looks from the side and said: "Dear Yelia, I'm afraid it will be too long, so let's eat first, or ask the waiter to deliver the food."
Yelia's blue eyes were full of desire, and she couldn't bear to part with Li Guolou's delicate face. She nodded and said, "Well, I will listen to Mike. Let's deliver food at noon, and a bottle of champagne, and we will have a candlelight dinner in the evening."
Li Guolou couldn't help but asked worriedly: "Dear, will Robinson come?"
Yelia smiled and took Li Guolou away, saying: "What are you afraid of? This kind of thing is not allowed to happen here. Even if Robinson knew that I was in your bed, he would not come."
There must be an honest reason for catching someone in bed. How can a lover catch another lover committing adultery? Neither reason nor law is appropriate. Li Guolou is still too young and does not have this kind of experience.
"Oh! This is paradise!" Li Guolou understood that the people in the Jinjin Cave were protected.
Li Guolou and Yelia were lying on the bed. They did not draw up the thick curtains, but only pulled up a layer of white gauze. The light from the window shone in. The two naked people were looking at each other greedily.
.
After saying love words, they began to talk privately, and then the two of them understood some of each other's situation.
Jelia was thirty years old and had no children. She rented a bungalow in the capital, hired a foreign chef, chartered a carriage, and a personal maid (the chef and the maid were a couple). She came to the capital to meet her lover.
Robinson is a big businessman and has business dealings with White Shipping Company.
, it happened that Yelia's husband died, and Robinson took the initiative to care about Yelia's life. The two had been secretly dating for half a year. Yelia had begun to dislike Robinson for being more and more stingy with her, and there happened to be someone better.
A man replaced him, regardless of Robinson's feelings, and turned to Li Guolou.
Jelia Wood caressed Li Guolou, who was lying in his arms, and said, "Mike, actually, I have been watching you since you appeared here. Didn't you see it?"
Li Guolou smelled the scent of Yelia's hair and said: "I am a detective, now I know. When I played with sand crabs, you stood behind me and watched for a while, right?"
Yelia raised her head and said softly: "You are smart. I hate you when I see you playing cards. I wipe my sweat when I lose this little money. All these little tricks are fake, so I know you are going to win at a glance."
, you are a professional gambler."
Li Guolou said: "I just like to gamble with criminals. As for gambling, I rarely participate in gambling. If I can make money as a professional gambler, are you afraid that I can't support you?"
Jelia Wood is used to living a luxurious life of the rich. When looking for a lover, he also looks for rich people. There are many rich people in the circle of activities. A poor young man will not be Jelia Wood's choice. Jelia and
Xie Xiuzhu is a type of woman. Even if they are rich, they still want to be richer. They find the target carefully.
Jelia said softly: "Mike, I am a woman with status, and it is my fault that I have fallen in love with you. But if you want to marry me, you must first work hard, and secondly, convert to Catholicism."
Li Guolou sighed: "Jelia, even if I convert to Catholicism, the church will not bless us. We Qing people have committed bigamy, so we cannot get married in the church."
Jelia came to his senses and said: "Forget it, let's talk about it later. If you can prosper in the past two years, Mike, I will marry you. Things like faith can change at any time. I don't even bother to go to church now."
Li Guolou said: "Jelia, you can't accept Robinson's money. I will let you live a noble life. And White Shipping Company will go bankrupt one day. You'd better withdraw your shares as soon as possible, even if you suffer a loss, you will do it."
, otherwise you will have nothing in a short time."
Yelia put his hands on the bed, glared and said angrily: "I just scolded Xiao White's lawyer away, and I want to turn around again. I don't want to." Her breasts trembled in anger, as if Li Guolou was a bad person.
, trying to defraud her of her shares.
Li Guolou sighed and said: "Yelia, lawyers today are different from those in the past. In the past, only nobles and rich people became lawyers. They had high thresholds and high fees and were serious and responsible in their work. Now poor people can also be lawyers.
Become a rich man, what?
He can do anything. Little White will make false accounts, create a big hole in White Shipping Company, transfer the assets away, and leave you with a mess of debts, a leaky boat, and you will be asked to pay off the company's debts.
By then you won’t even be able to keep your bungalow in Tianjin.”
Jelia said angrily: "Then I will take the business back."
Li Guolou held Yelia in his arms and said: "Yelia, have you ever done business? Will the shareholders agree to you being the general manager? The controlling interest has been firmly controlled by Xiao White, and now
Little White is willing to offer you this price to buy the shares in your hands, but next year I won’t even get half of it, and the year after that you will jump into the Yellow Sea.”
Jelia asked suspiciously: "Then why did Robinson never tell me?"
Li Guolou was startled and asked: "Does Robinson know your situation?"
Jelia nodded and said: "Of course, I always have to find a man to discuss it. Besides, Robinson is a big businessman. Can I not ask his opinion?"
Li Guolou asked: "Does Robinson own shares in White Shipping Company?"
Jelia said: "A little, not much, just three percent."
Li Guolou sneered and said: "Luckily you met me, Yelia. Neither Little White nor Robinson are good people. Can the businessman not see the consequences? Robinson spends a small amount of money with you and gets it with Little White."
The bigger benefit, has Robinson ever met Little White alone? (Pause for a moment) Since you know that Little White is not a good person, don’t tie him up to do business, half of the shares will be empty.”
Jelia thought for a while and said: "Mike, I can tell a little bit from what you said. Robinson seems to be short of money now. He sold his house in Tianjin and said he would move to the capital for development, but he suddenly has to do so.
Why do you want to spend so much money? Business is guaranteed not to be as good as before."
"Middlemen like Robinson made a fortune by playing both sides when the relationship between the two countries was not good. Now that the foreigners and the Qing Empire are doing so well, the British Minister Justin Lear directly came forward to talk to Prince Gong Yi.
"Xin is negotiating, even the iron-clad warships will be sold to our Qing Empire. How many opportunities do you think Robinson Crusoe has to make a fortune? Robinson Crusoe is on the decline, and you are the right way to join me." Li Guolou boasted.
Yelia said softly: "I came to you not because you are rich, but because of this." Yelia stretched out her hand little by little, and it happened that she could not see anything because it was covered by the quilt.
Li Guolou lowered his head and kissed Yelia's small mouth deeply, and the two were close together again. A new round of journey began. There was a knock on the door, and Li Guolou angrily said: "Xiao Wu, you guys
Go play with sand crabs, I don’t have time now.”
The chaotic footsteps outside the door went away together with the hearty laughter. The two figures in the room were still entangled together, and the waiter leaned against the door to listen to the gasping sound. Another waitress also ran over.
Eavesdropping, the two waiters blushed and looked at each other. Later, the two waiters walked into the storage room together...
