"Mr. Li, first of all, thank you for your support of our work, and here's to you."
Of course, there is also a banquet table in the room. It is not sumptuous, but the dishes are very unique. They look beautiful, but the taste is another matter.
Zhu Tong knew that Director Dou would not drag him here for no reason. He had a drink with Director Dou, looked at his watch, and said, "It's getting late, please just tell me if you have anything. I still have an appointment."
"Then I'm not welcome." Director Dou sat down, put away his smile, and suddenly changed his face. "Mr. Li, I must explain that Senator Lehman's visit to Xijing is not a big deal to us.
The test. No...please hear me out. I don't mean to blame you. On behalf of the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government, I would also like to thank you for inviting such an important guest to us. Lei was reported in newspapers in Beijing and Shanghai today.
News of the arrival of Senator Mann and his entourage in Xijing. For remote provinces like us, any similar report is precious; it has a positive effect on improving our image. Colleagues in the publicity department were the happiest, as they had originally wanted to express their gratitude in person
Thanks, for you and Senator Lehman..."
"I really don't have much time;" Zhu Tong had to interrupt Director Dou. It was already past ten o'clock, and he had no patience to listen to Director Dou's long speech; "There is no need to thank Senator Lehman this time.
It’s just a purely business activity.”
"Business activities?" Director Dou shook his head and said, "If it were just purely business activities, Governor Wang would not go to Beijing."
Seeing that Zhu Tong didn't answer, Director Dou added, "The secretary wanted to arrange an informal meeting with Senator Lehman, but Governor Wang left. Those of us who are subordinates...can you understand?"
Zhu Tong nodded, no wonder Wang Xiangjie suddenly went to Beijing.
When the Provincial Party Committee Secretary meets Senator Lehman, the local media will of course report it. The Propaganda Department will definitely treat this informal meeting as an important foreign affairs mission and recommend it to the central media. I am afraid that other media will follow suit.
What I mean is that I want to take this opportunity to send some information to the outside world, to show the secretary's international vision, and to add a cornerstone to the road to promotion or renewal that may not exist. Even if he cannot be promoted or renewed, he can still be promoted when he is old enough.
It would also be good to be transferred to a coastal economically developed area to work for one term or three or two years before the line begins.
When the secretary meets with the U.S. senator, will the governor meet? Do you want to accompany him to the meeting? What will be discussed during the meeting? These are all things Wang Xiangji has to consider.
Now that Wang Xiangjian is gone, the secretary is certainly not happy, and Director Dou's job becomes difficult. She must communicate with Senator Lehman and determine the topics that both parties are "interested in" during the meeting. Senator Lehman is from the United States.
It would be ugly if we talked about some unpleasant issues.
Everyone knows that Senator Lehman is a patient of "Miracle Doctor Li Xiang" and even his friend. Moreover, Senator Lehman seems to obey the advice of this young Chinese doctor of traditional Chinese medicine, and their friendship is extraordinary. Just a year ago, Lehman
The senator also went to Shanghai to detonate the mysterious "Peach Blossom Pond Water" case and helped "Miracle Doctor Li Xiang" resolve a very dangerous crisis. The people and events affected by that incident have not been completely resolved to this day.
Wang Xiangjie seems to have been one of the beneficiaries of that crisis.
Now that Governor Wang Xiangjian has left, Zhu Tong's attitude has become very important. Director Dou must first do the work of "Miracle Doctor Li Xiang". Of course, the leaders will not give specific instructions. Everything needs to be understood by Director Dou.
.
"Mr. Finney has left." Director Dou said again.
"I think we might as well wait and see." Zhu Tong thought about it, but still couldn't figure out whether he should help Director Dou. But he wanted to understand one thing: before he understood what Wang Xiangjie meant, he couldn't do anything.
Decide.
"What's the reason?" Director Dou asked distressedly; "I know it's rude to ask such a question, but without a proper reason, I will be criticized."
"It's simple." Zhu Tong pointed to the east; "Mr. Finney has returned to Shanghai, and the few hours he stayed here were not pleasant. Director Dou should know his special identity, and he should also know that Mr. Finney is
Cultural officer of the U.S. Consulate General in Shanghai. As a cultural officer, Mr. Finney has close contacts with certain cultural people in Shanghai. There are also many international media reporters in Shanghai. If Finney complains about those people, if these
If my complaints are reported by the media, I will be fine. It doesn’t matter how much Mr. Finney scolds me. However, once such reports appear, Senator Lehman can only conduct business activities, and any official-related reports will become very serious.
sensitive."
"That's a good reason." Director Dou thought about it with a cold face. He had no better way, so he could only nod in approval.
"Any more questions?" Zhu Tong stood up and was about to leave; he asked casually out of politeness.
"There is a problem." Director Dou said bluntly. At this time, she had already understood Zhu Tong's temper; "At tomorrow's opening ceremony, Senator Lehman's speech cannot exceed five minutes."
"What's the point of this?" Zhu Tong asked puzzledly.
"It doesn't make sense, it's required by etiquette." Director Dou said seriously; "If Mr. Finney had not released any news, the informal meeting between the secretary and Mr. Lehman should have lasted about ten minutes. Then, the time for both parties to express their opinions
It won’t take more than five minutes.”
"It's inexplicable." Zhu Tong said sadly, opened the door and left.
Zhu Tong somewhat understood why Wang Xiangji went to Beijing. The secretary must like to play these little tricks, and especially likes to make a big fuss out of such inexplicable details. Wang Xiangji does not want to wade into this muddy water, nor does he want to be inexplicably manipulated by the top leader.
If he is restrained by tricks, it will damage his image.
Official prestige is reflected in these inconspicuous details.
Before leaving, Zhu Tong did not forget to turn around and say: "Say sorry to Mr. Ba for me."
Director Dou nodded and silently stared at his back in a daze.
There was only half a bottle of whiskey left on the table between Lan Zhanjiang and Qin Keqiang. Zhu Tong sat down and apologized repeatedly. He was five minutes late, and the two of them had been here for at least half an hour.
Western bars, even in five-star hotels, still have ethnic elements.
This is decorated according to the standard quiet bar design, but there is an extra stage in the middle. Several ethnic minority dancers, wearing shiny and transparent simplified and sexy quasi-ethnic costumes, stretch their arms on the stage to the rock version of ethnic music.
Rotating rapidly, constantly showing off those snow-white slender thighs...
Zhu Tong noticed Lan Zhanjiang's abnormality at first glance. He was so interested in looking at those thighs that he didn't seem to notice Zhu Tong sitting down opposite him.
With Lan Zhanjiang's knowledge, experience, education, lifestyle and cultivation he has received since childhood, how could he be interested in such a woman? Unless... Zhu Tong and Qin Keqiang exchanged glances and followed Lan Zhanjiang's gaze.
Oh...there is indeed one outstanding lead dancer among the dancers.
From her curvaceous figure to her charming appearance, coupled with her sultry charm in every gesture, her crystal-clear and smooth skin, and her mesmerizing eyes, she can be called a top-notch woman at the level of a stunner.
In the bar, most of the men's eyes were rolling on her; Zhu Tong couldn't help but take a second look, and soon realized her charm.
The dancer stretched out her arms and bent her waist, dancing all over the place, dancing with a strip of colorful silk in a graceful and elegant way, which contrasted with the snow-white neck and chest.
The music gradually slowed down, the lead dancer fell down, and then led his partners backstage.
Lan Zhanjiang withdrew his gaze, raised his glass and said to Zhu Tong: "I didn't expect that there is such a stunning beauty here. Just dancing here makes this trip worthwhile. Convener, cheers for her!"
"No problem cheering, Brother Lan should know my habits." Zhu Tong waved to the waiter and ordered a bottle of white wine.
When the wine was brought, Zhu Tongcai raised his glass and toasted to Lan Zhanjiang and Qin Keqiang.
Zhu Tong and Qin Keqiang have not seen each other for nearly two months. The logistics company run by Shiqimen is on the rise, attacking cities and encircling territories everywhere; Qin Keqiang has almost become a trapeze artist.
It's rare to have time to sit down and chat.
But among people in the world, a look or a gesture can convey a lot of information. Zhu Tong could feel that Qin Keqiang did not really have free time, he was forced to come here by Lan Zhanjiang.
"Let me just say, making money is not everything in life. Brother Zhu, do you dare to make a bet with me, one hundred thousand? If I give one hundred thousand, she will definitely stay with me for three days." Lan Zhanjiang seemed a little drunk when he spoke.
It was a bit out of tune, but Zhu Tong knew that she must be the dancer.
"One hundred thousand US dollars or RMB?" Zhu Tong asked.
"Of course it's US dollars. For such a woman, one hundred thousand US dollars is nothing. Is it?" Lan Zhanjiang took out a gold pen, wrote a few words on a business card, called a waiter over and said: "Please give it to
The lead dancer just now." Also thrust in at the same time were two hundred-dollar bills.
The waiter bowed respectfully and went away with his business card.
"I made this bet." Zhu Tong stared into Lan Zhanjiang's eyes and said, "Tonight, she will not show off her charm in Mr. Lan's bed."
"What are you betting on?" Lan Zhanjiang asked confidently.
"A question;" Zhu Tong's lips showed smile lines; "A question without any restrictions. The losing party must answer it without any concealment."
Lan Zhanjiang stretched out his hand and gave Zhu Tong a high-five. Then he looked at his watch, stared at the entrance of the stage, and tasted the wine in a graceful manner.
Time passed minute by minute, and when the ten-minute timer expired, the lead dancer did not appear.
"Do you need my help?" Zhu Tong asked with a smile; "Although I won, I am also happy to do good deeds that are beautiful to adults."
"Is it another gambling game?" Lan Zhanjiang asked, his face a little red.
"If you want to bet, I have no objection." Zhu Tong raised two fingers; "It's almost the same as the first bet, but if you lose this time, you have to answer two questions. I promise to have her show up within fifteen minutes.
In front of you."
"Fifteen minutes?" Lan Zhanjiang looked around. On the stage was a singer performing a folk song without any accompanying dancers. "I bet. If I lose this time, I will answer three questions for you. If I win, you will answer one question for me.
.”
"The account cannot be calculated like this, and the chips of the two gambling games cannot offset each other. If I lose, I will answer your two questions, and Young Master Lan will still have to answer my one question. If I win... Haha! Can we start the timer?" Zhu Zhu
After Tong finished speaking, he stretched out his wrist, revealing the specially made CK watch.
Lan Zhanjiang also stretched out his wrist and glanced at Zhu Tong's watch. He seemed to have no feeling at all, as if he had completely forgotten that this watch was given to Zhu Tong by him.
Zhu Tong waved to the waiter who had just delivered Lan Zhanjiang's business card and whispered something in his ear.
The waiter shook his head in embarrassment, and Zhu Tong uttered another sentence.
The waiter looked at the direction of the stage, then at Lan Zhanjiang, and finally lowered his head and communicated something with Zhu Tong in a very low voice.
Three minutes later, the waiter walked towards the stage again.
"Twelve minutes left." Lan Zhanjiang looked helplessly at the direction in which the waiter disappeared and asked, "Winning or losing, I want to know what you said to him."
"Is this a problem?" Zhu Tong touched his chin.
"Consider me prepaying the bet." Lan Zhanjiang raised a finger; "If I win, you only need to answer me one more question."
"I admit it;" Zhu Tong turned to ask Qin Keqiang; "Brother Qin also wants to know?"
"I am indeed a little curious." Qin Keqiang replied.
"Okay, I'll reveal the mystery to you two." Zhu Tong leaned over the stage, and Lan Zhanjiang and Qin Keqiang also came over.
"First, I asked the waiter her name. The waiter offered a price of one hundred, and I agreed; secondly, I asked the waiter if she had a boyfriend or husband. The most important thing for such a charming woman is a suitor.
There must be many rich people who want to take her into their golden house. The waiter offered two thousand, but I did not counter-offer. He said that Miss Xin not only has a boyfriend, but her boyfriend is also a very powerful man. He is a big brother.
How about it, do you need me to continue? This bar belongs to that big brother. In other words, he is the boss here."
"The underworld;" Qin Keqiang smiled; "Mr. Lan, one hundred thousand dollars may not be able to move people's hearts. The boss here is also not short of money."
"Brother Qin has a good vision. Miss Xin doesn't come to dance for money. She is a real dancer. As long as she can dance on the stage, nothing else matters." Zhu Tong said with emotion.
He had just seen some clues. Only dancers who truly love dancing can perform such passionate dances. But the moment she looked back before leaving the stage, the dazzling look in her eyes dimmed.
The waiter's words only confirmed Zhu Tong's guess; but in any case, Lan Zhanjiang's attempt to seduce ordinary women would definitely be ineffective. Such a famous flower must already have a master, and he must be a capable woman.
A powerful character who can stand up to the table.
"Her surname is Xin? What's her name?" Lan Zhanjiang asked eagerly without any intention of shrinking.
"Xin Yun." Zhu Tong looked at his watch. It was another three minutes. The waiter came over and quietly handed him a red card.
Zhu Tong stuffed a whole stack of unopened banknotes over. The waiter looked down and walked towards the door pretending to be calm.
After getting 10,000 yuan, he will leave this western city as quickly as possible and venture into the wider world. The salary level here is not high. He can't save 10,000 yuan even after a year of hard work.
"Do you always carry so many banknotes with you?" Lan Zhanjiang was stunned to see that stack of banknotes...
"In ten minutes, I got her phone number. And, with Miss Xin's permission."
"How did you do it?" Lan Zhanjiang asked in surprise.
"I offered 10,000 yuan and asked the waiter to bring a message to Miss Xin. He brought the message and I paid the money." Zhu Tong waved the card proudly; "I asked the waiter to tell her that Young Master Lan is the president of an investment company.
, was born in France and grew up in Europe, loves art and cherishes dancing talents like Miss Xin. Mr. Lan hopes to provide her with a bigger stage in Shanghai, Beijing, and even across the country. The $100,000 is just the signing fee."
"Aren't you cheating?" Lan Zhanjiang was unwilling to give in. One hundred thousand US dollars was nothing, but it could provide a bigger stage for Miss Xin. Such a promise was a bit unreliable for him.
"Sooner or later, she will leave here. If it wasn't us, someone else would definitely find her. My sister's Neptune Entertainment needs such talents. Isn't Mr. Lan not willing to do the same thing?"
After hearing what Zhu Tong said, Lan Zhanjiang thought about it, took the card from Zhu Tong's hand, and went to make a call.
"No need." Zhu Tong said softly; "Look, Miss Xin is already here."
At the stage where the lights were dim, Nana walked over with a gentle step, her white skirt fluttering.
Zhu Tong leaned back and tried to make himself as comfortable as possible.
The following things have nothing to do with him.
It is Mr. Lan Zhanjiang who wants to sleep with Miss Xin. Of course, all consequences arising from this must be borne by Lan Zhanjiang.
He just wants to enjoy a farce that may be funny or bloody in comfort.
Of course there will be no calm wherever "Miracle Doctor Li Xiang" goes. As the saying goes, if you have too many debts, you won't be afraid of paying them back, and if you have too many lice, you won't be afraid of itching.
No matter how much trouble Lan Zhanjiang makes, Zhu Tong is not afraid of being implicated. As long as Lan Zhanjiang is kept here and no one is killed, nothing big will happen.
The only one who was a little worried was Qin Keqiang. He winked at Qin Keqiang and signaled him to avoid it at the right time.
It didn't matter at this glance, I saw Qin Keqiang's haunted expression.
Is it that serious? I have seen almost half-naked people just now. Miss Xin Yun put on clothes... Zhu Tong turned his head and his heart trembled.
The white figure floated in front of me like a cloud.
Xin Yun on the stage is certainly a dazzling pearl.
The Xin Yun, which has been washed away from the lead, is even more beautiful... it's intoxicating.
As a pimp who personally hooked up Xin Yun, Zhu Tong felt regretful for the first time.
Lan Zhanjiang's ability to taste women is indeed one or two levels higher than his own.
