"This is the gap." Chen Haihui looked around the ball venue hosted by the Governor of Hong Kong sent by His Majesty the Emperor, and commented with emotion, "It's really strange, why do I think the nightclub you created in Guangzhou is better than this real foreign aristocratic ball?"
How about being more impressive?"
Lin Youde curled his lips and said to himself: Nonsense, we are a hundred years ahead in design theory, okay? In the last time and space, Lin Youde was engaged in marketing planning and had to do some live events every now and then. He often met with people who were engaged in graphic design and stage design.
Helping people deal with them, and over time, he learned a lot. After traveling through time, he put those things into the decoration of nightclubs in Guangzhou.
But to be honest, Lin Youde himself felt that the dance in front of him was a bit petty. The dance held by the British Empire's frontier officials was attended by dignitaries from the British Empire in East Asia. This level of pomp was obviously not commensurate with the status of the participants.
Before, Lin Youde thought it was a bit strange that his nightclub was so successful, but now it seems that this success is easy to come by. In the future, when Lin Youde's nightclub opens in Hong Kong, it will definitely directly raise the status of Hong Kong's social circles to a higher level.
Chen Haihui was already singing a hymn: "In the past, I always thought that Brother Lin relied on foreigners to dominate, but now it seems that you have surpassed the foreigners. Look at the Hong Kong Governor, Robinson, who is nothing more than this. What a pomp and show.
Brother’s nightclub is just a little bit worse.”
Although Lin Youde has heard the name of the Hong Kong Governor several times today, he still can't help but want to laugh. In the past time, Hong Kong Translation was unique in the Chinese circle with all kinds of whimsical translations, especially in terms of people's names. Hong Kong Translation especially likes to use the names of foreigners.
It is translated into a pseudo-Chinese name that is completely in line with Chinese habits. For example, the last Hong Kong Governor Patten, Lin Youde thought he was Chinese until he was 18 years old. Little did he know that the name was a masterpiece of Hong Kong translation.
But after coming to this world, Lin Youde finally realized that this translation habit was not original to Hong Kong translation, but a "problem left over from history." In this era when China had just opened its eyes to the world, Chinese people still translated foreign names of people and places.
Maintain the habitual thinking of Chinese. Like this Robinson, the more modern translation is Robinson...
Another example is the American city of Atlanta, which was called Goose Liang Village at this time. People who didn't know it thought it was a place where goose feed was produced. Charleston was called Cha's Village, and everyone in the city probably had the surname "Cha".
Of course Chen Haihui didn't know why Lin Youde was smiling. He thought that Lin Youde was made happy by his honest words, so he also laughed together.
It should be noted that while the two people from Guangzhou were very dissatisfied with the pomp and circumstance of the ball, the dignitaries attending the ball were also very dissatisfied with the two unfamiliar-looking Chinese people. Nightclub tycoons in Guangzhou? Who knows that kind of thing?
So Lin Youde and Chen Haihui didn't even have seats. They could only stand by the ballroom window with wine glasses and watch the British gentlemen and ladies talking and laughing with the local Hong Kong gentry and dignitaries.
"By the way, there's no dancing at this party." Lin Youde, who was standing a little impatiently, said half-complainingly, "I'm tired of seeing all the ladies sitting down."
"Don't worry, the guest of honor hasn't arrived yet, so of course the dance can't start."
"Guest of honor?" Lin Youde glanced at the front of the ballroom, "Isn't Hong Kong Governor Robinson already there?"
"Don't you know this? Didn't you see the French warships parked in Victoria Harbor when you came? Today's dance is to welcome the visiting Governor of French Indochina and his party."
In other words, the Governor-General of French Indochina has not arrived yet.
As soon as Chen Haihui finished explaining, the attendant guarding the door of the ballroom loudly announced the name of Jean de Larsen, the governor of French Indochina. This governor who helped France win the French war against Siam immediately
Attracted the attention of everyone in the hall.
Lin Youde, like everyone else in the venue, stretched his neck to catch a glimpse of the governor.
The governor did not let the crowd wait in anticipation. He strode into the ballroom just a few seconds after the aide-de-camp announced his name, and the British Governor-General Robinson also came to greet him immediately.
But Lin Youde's eyes only stayed on the two most distinguished men in the room for a moment, and then he glanced at the beautiful girl who followed the French Governor into the ballroom.
The man had blond hair that reached down to his waist. He wore a blue and white dress decorated with gold stripes, which was full of a holy atmosphere. The old-fashioned and conservative design and style complemented the girl's quiet and gentle expression, highlighting the aura of a priest.
.
But the curves of her body perfectly outlined by the dress were like a blazing flame, which could easily ignite the heart of any man who looked at her - that was the power of a witch. Lin Youde had a feeling that she
The reason why I chose the current set of clothes was just to suppress my beauty with the old-fashioned and conservative clothes, so that the enchanting figure inherited from my mother would attract as few unfavorable eyes as possible.
Unfortunately, this behavior backfired. Her beauty clashed fiercely with the blue and white cage, making her even more eye-catching. Although no one was standing by her side, young gentlemen dodged their female companions from time to time and approached her.
The glances she cast and the disdain from the corners of the eyes of the girls and their best friends when they bit their lips all showed that she was the most dazzling and dazzling presence at this ball.
Lin Youde couldn't help but slander, Miss, if you want to cover up your beauty, first cover up the large piece of white snow on your chest. Damn, no matter how tightly you cover other places, those two lumps of flesh on your chest are so eye-catching, no matter how conservative you are.
It makes no sense!
She is like an ancient sword wrapped in a leather scabbard. Its appearance is as exquisite and beautiful as a work of art. It is harmless to humans and animals. However, the pure white exposed on her chest is like the space between the hilt, guard and scabbard.
The sword exposed inadvertently was only an inch long, but the cold light was striking. Her beauty had the texture of metal, and it was so sharp that it could cut into pieces any sanctimonious armor and pierce everyone's heart.
With brilliant scarlet color.
If he hadn't seen Xia Fanglan's human weapon before, Lin Youde's eyes might have lingered on that girl's chest like other wealthy young men in the venue.
Chen Haihui noticed who Lin Youde was looking at - in fact, he was looking at the same person just now.
"Brother Lin, I won't get involved in this. It's up to you. Do you know who she is?"
"Then what is Jean de Larsen's...daughter?" Lin Youde originally wanted to say his wife, but after comparing them, he felt that the age difference between the two was a bit big. In addition, he subconsciously did not want to take advantage of the old French man, so he guessed like this
.
Unexpectedly, Chen Haihui shook his head: "Brother Lin, that's... forget it, you can ask her yourself after you get her."
"Then you have to tell me her name?"
"Won't you ask her yourself?" After saying this, Chen Haihui looked at Lin Youde with a smirk on his face. It seemed that out of entertainment mentality, he had made up his mind not to reveal even a single word to Lin Youde.
Lin Youde shrugged, thinking that a girl who could be treated by Chen Haihui in such an entertaining way would probably not be of much help to Lin Youde's great cause - after all, Chen Haihui was still a member of Lin Youde's staff and was considered a confidant, so he didn't expect him to be either.
He would joke with Lin Youde about key issues.
"Okay," Lin Youde pretended to stretch his muscles and moved his shoulders and arms, "I'll let you see what I can do."
As a result, Chen Haihui laughed even more happily.
**
For a long time after that, Lin Youde quietly observed the girl he chose as his target.
It's strange that such a beautiful girl should be the queen of the ball, and there should be an endless stream of men inviting her to dance. But since the band started playing, the girl was sitting alone at the table prepared for the French Governor and his party, holding a high foot in her hand
Cup, a person drinks juice there.
All the men seemed to be content with admiring the girl's beauty from a distance. No one wanted to take the opportunity of dancing to grab that beauty and play with it.
This is not scientific.
This is a Western ball. Even if the real Queen of England comes to the ball, there are still men who dare to go up and invite her to dance.
Lin Youde glanced at Chen Haihui suspiciously, but found that this guy had already fallen in love with the foreign girl and was dancing on the dance floor. He had no time to pay attention to his boss's doubts.
Lin Youde swallowed hard.
"You'll know if it's a mule or a horse when you take it for a walk."
Just as the song was finishing, Lin Youde made up his mind and drank all the wine in his glass. He put the glass on the tray in the hand of the passing waiter, straightened his tie and walked to the unattended man with elegant steps.
The flower of the high mountain walks away.
"Beautiful lady..." Lin Youde remembered that this girl is French. If she didn't understand English, she would be making a big fool of herself. But now that the words had been spoken, the girl raised her head, emerald green
There was a mixture of doubt and slight curiosity in her eyes. Looking closer, I felt that this girl was even more beautiful, especially her skin, which was as fair as if she had been exposed to sex! She is indeed a white girl...
Lin Youde could only bite the bullet and finish the sentence: "Excuse me, can I dance with you?"
"I'm very happy." Unexpectedly, the girl readily agreed in fluent English. She elegantly put down the glass of juice in her hand, took Lin Youde's extended hand, and stood up.
The music started, and it was a waltz. In the last time and space, Lin Youde, who was in college, worked hard to learn ballroom dancing in order to get acquainted with girls and get rid of his innocence. In the end, he failed to hook up with girls after he learned the dance. Lin Youde felt that this was mainly because of socializing.
Dancing was too reserved and couldn't ignite a fiery passion, so he went to learn Latin dance. In the end, Latin dance became so perfect that it became his best sport, but he still didn't get any girls.
But after time travel, these all come in handy.
Lin Youde skillfully guided the beautiful girl to spin on the dance floor and feel the soft touch on the girl's chest. At this time, the girl suddenly spoke: "It's so interesting that a Chinese gentleman invited someone in the UK with an American accent.
A French lady dances, a simple thing, but it has something to do with four countries."
Lin Youde subconsciously replied: "Miss, you are wrong, Hong Kong is China's land."
There was a brief moment of surprise on the girl's face, and then she pursed her lips and smiled: "You are different from the Chinese people I have met so far."
Nonsense, Lin Youde is a time traveler, can it be the same?
"I hope this difference left a good impression on you."
"Of course, only those who respect themselves will be respected by others."
Lin Youde couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. He was also worried about the negative impact of the true thoughts he subconsciously spoke. Then he noticed that the girl cleverly avoided the question of "Is Hong Kong part of China or Britain?"
As expected, all girls who are immune to golden fingers are not fuel-efficient lamps.
After the girl started talking, Lin Youde began to chat with the girl word by word. They were all irrelevant topics, such as the girl's views on Chinese food, her views on Chinese clothing, and so on. The two of them were on the dance floor.
After swaying and swaying, the waltz came to an end. Lin Youde let go and held the beautiful girl's waist, which was restrained into an almost perfect shape.
He wanted to ask the girl to dance another song, but according to the rules, one person would change every song. Moreover, when he started, many people in the hall seemed eager to give it a try - until now, Lin Youde still didn't understand why no one asked him in the first place.
The girl dances.
So Lin You took the girl's hand to send her back to her position. At this moment, the girl spoke: "This kind of slow dance always feels like something is missing when dancing, don't you think so?"
"Do you want to dance Latin dance?" Lin Youde responded casually.
The girl squinted her eyes and smiled and replied: "Actually, I'm half Spanish."
Lin Youde stared at the girl's face, blinked, then turned around, raised his hands and high-fived three times, attracting the attention of the band conductor on the edge of the dance floor, and then he reported the name of a famous Latin dance song.
The band conductor nodded to express his understanding. No matter which country you are from, these well-trained British servants will try their best to meet your requirements as long as you are the guest of the master.
The song Lin Youde ordered had a guitar part in it, and the small band in the ballroom was a band prepared to play elegant waltzes. Naturally, there was no guitar as a commercial instrument, but the British musicians were really good at using it.
The way the violin is played with the strings brings out the flavor of the guitar!
Of course, this will inevitably make the music a little weird, but no one will care about such small details.
Lin Youde tapped the ground with his big leather shoes to the beat of the prelude, and at the same time made an invitation gesture to the girl.
The girl stood there and looked at Lin Youde with a half-smile, her eyes full of curiosity about this Chinese man. Then she made an incredible move - it looked like a man was undoing the belt of his trousers. The next moment, the bustle
It fell out from under the girl's skirt. She pulled up the gorgeous skirt, kicked off the untied bustle, and responded to Lin Youde.
As if they had spotted this opportunity, the speed of the music suddenly accelerated, and the two people standing opposite each other began to dance as if they were under a spell. The girl spun quickly, her skirt was like a blooming summer flower, and Lin Youde accompanied the girl all the time.
On the left and right, like green leaves and branches, support this beautiful flower.
Lin Youde went to learn Latin dance in order to have enough physical contact, and this French-Spanish girl was more open-minded than the girl who danced with Lin Youde back then, and her clothes had such a low opening. Lin Youde is a fool.
It was such a joy. After several movements, the tip of Lin Youde's nose penetrated the girl's cleavage. The temperature of the girl's skin and the light body fragrance wildly challenged Lin Youde's self-control.
The only fly in the ointment is that this mixed-race girl is much heavier to hold than the petite Zhejiang girl from the previous time and space. After all, her height and breasts are not there. In the middle of the dance, Lin Youde felt that his shoulder joint seemed to be dislocated several times.
This made him complain again and again about why there are so many moves in Latin dance that require the girl to be lifted up...
After just one song, both of them were breathing rapidly. Lin Youde was covered in sweat. Looking at the girl, although there was no sweat on her face, her fair breasts were already coated with a strange color of temptation from the fine beads of sweat.
The two of them just kept looking at each other in the hugging position, breathing heavily as if they had just done it, and the frequency of their chests rising and falling was also very consistent.
At this time, the French Governor took the lead in applauding, and then the applause echoed throughout the ballroom.
At this moment, the world turned into black and white.
Lin Youde just wanted to cheer, this is a great time to upgrade!
Like last time, he threw aside the big book that appeared and happily removed the flesh of the mixed-race girl's breasts. After rubbing it vigorously, Lin Youde stretched out his tongue and licked the girl's breasts.
"Yeah, it's salty."
Nonsense, you are not an alien, of course your sweat is salty.
Then Lin Youde looked at the mixed-race girl's lips, thought for a moment, and felt that there was a high probability that this girl would not be able to eat it, so it would be better to take advantage of it, so he kissed her without saying a word.
After kissing and licking for a long time, Lin Youde, who was finally satisfied, turned around and took the book. After opening it, he clicked on the fourth level of the business skill without hesitation: Bole: You can easily discover those with business talents among your employees.
This skill looks good, but as the skill name implies, this does not mean that business talents are more likely to appear among Lin Youde's employees, but that if he recruits potential business talents to his staff, it will be easier to identify them.
To put it simply, this skill is the same as its predecessors. The larger Lin Youde's organization, the better the effect.
After clicking the skill, Lin Youde quickly returned to the posture before time stopped, and then threw the book away.
After time started to flow, the girl finally pushed Lin Youde's body away.
"You made me partially change my view of Chinese people." The girl smiled again. Her smile was always light, like an orchid, unassuming but pleasing to the eye. "I wonder what your surname is?"
"Lin Youde, an ordinary Chinese businessman. Also, beautiful lady, may I ask your name..."
"Josephine Jean Césaire Joffre, First Class Chevalier of the French Republic, Commander of the Indochina Expedition of the Order of Saint Laurent."
