Chapter 110: The Smoke Never Leaves Your Hand
"Even-" Li Fengzhu stopped and stood in place, pursed his lips, and tried to guess Tang Shubai's abacus more deeply, "You still wish I could poke it out." When the time comes, there will be more people who know, and in order to maintain the precarious image of overseas Japanese, the concession authorities will probably send you to eliminate the influence. How to eliminate it, is it going to breed a public relations expense?"
These words seemed to hit the bull's-eye, and Tang Shubai's face stiffened for a moment: "This time...... I'll please. ”
The person in front of him is smart and special, and when he gets along with her, Tang Shubai can always have emotions in his heart that he has never felt before. It's not just a male and female attraction, because she has the ability to easily destroy everything he has carefully designed. Therefore, it is inevitable that there will be fear, even fear, but it will not easily come out of murderous intentions.
To be honest, Tang Shubai knew very well that what the Oriental people were most looking forward to him was not simply killing a few people, but to find those fires that were blown and born in the spring breeze, and only by completely eliminating the fires could it be regarded as merit. Li Fengzhu is a person with fire in his heart, and treating this kind of person to let her die physically is the last step, before letting her be destroyed in public image and degenerate spiritually. Therefore, after Tang Shubai realized her intelligence for the first time, especially her sobriety, he put down the gun that could kill her.
So, put aside business and talk about personal affairs. No matter how wise other women are, they are limited to the advance and retreat between men and women after all. After a few back and forth, the tricks have already been figured out. If you want something fresh, you have to change your opponent and start the game again. Until he met her, the kind of chess opponent and hating each other made Tang Shubai very greedy.
On the other side, Li Fengzhu got the answer from his reaction, so he didn't dare to say anything more. Self-expression should be done in moderation, and if you exert too much force all at once, it may be counterproductive.
Li Fengzhu's personal emotional experience is quite limited, and he has never had any thoughts about this since he lost his husband. There was the great grief of extinction in the front, and the pressure of survival in the back, and the troubles swept in wave after wave, so oppressed that she almost lost her normal desires. But these do not prevent her from knowing the game between men and women, as the saying goes, she has never eaten pork and seen a pig run, and the love problems of the people around her will inspire her. Even in the past, when I was teaching in a girls' school, the atmosphere of free love was beginning to bloom, and female students and male students had vindictive interactions, female students and male teachers crossed the line, and courtesans among female students caused trouble...... There are all kinds of male and female combinations, and she has seen a lot.
The two of them walked in silence, and then they came to Xu Street. Li Fengzhu paid attention to the merchants on the street, the shops of the Japanese overseas Chinese were well protected by the concession, and they could continue to do business again with a sigh of relief. Most of the Chinese businessmen who the Iron Fist Troupe asked her to squat in are still closed, and it seems that the vitality has been damaged a lot.
Tang Shubai stopped in front of the izakaya and said, "The population here is tight. I know that Miesley is a noble person, and that I am a little mean, but not enough to do anything to anyone. I don't want any news to come out just because you're having lunch with me because you're enjoying the light. "Anyway, ask for advice with your eyes.
"I almost believed it. When Li Fengzhu heard this, his face turned red with anger, and the angry blood rushed to his head and jumped suddenly on his temples. Although she was anxious to get close to her at this time, she would never forget how Tang Shubai used to play a fake and ambiguous role in front of her colleagues at Ta Kung Pao. The so-called bitch to set up the archway is alive today.
"Then are you still willing to come?" Tang Shubai salivated and asked her to go first.
Li Fengzhu's sharp eye knife was suppressed in the depths of her eyes by her might, and her hands were behind her back, pinching it so much that it was about to break the skin.
The izakaya is still open, but the entrance is undergoing a drastic makeover. The original iconic Japanese banners and lanterns have been removed and replaced with red lanterns. A standard Chinese wooden plaque with the words "Golden Flower Tavern" written on it leans against the wall and waits quietly for the changing of the guard. The warm curtain of the kimono beauty at the door was also removed, and it was discarded on the ground at random, and several black and stained shoe prints were stepped on by the helper. Look at the posture, even the gate has to be changed.
At a glance, it can be seen that it was a helpless move made under the influence of the anti-Japanese momentum in Tianjin.
The waiter also changed the bartender's dress, and Li Fengzhu almost didn't recognize it. The bartender confronted her, and although he smiled enthusiastically, he couldn't make up an idea between the face and the face.
The layout of the store has not changed at all.
The bartender couldn't be more familiar with Tang Shubai, so he explained: "Mr. Tang knows that the owner's business depends on the original flavor." When the guests arrive here, they are returning to their hometowns. But this time is not peaceful, and the more you look at this situation, the more you can't be peaceful, so you have to put old wine in new bottles. ”
Tang Shubai nodded in understanding, and he didn't need to look at the list to order food, just saying the three words "old" was enough.
Li Fengzhu closed the menu, piled it out, and said, "Guests are as good as they can be." ”
The bartender was in arrears, and his tongue was rolled up with something, and he did not dare to say or leave. It was Tang Shubai who first asked, "Is there anything else?" before he replied in a low voice: "The owner said that he would not do singing and dancing business during the day for the past two days." ”
After that, the two glanced at Li Fengzhu's reaction.
I only heard her sneer, took out a cigarette from her pocket, and naturally put it at the corner of her mouth. After hitting the tap fire, he took two puffs and spit out a smoke ring before he said, "Is it important to see what I do and what I think? I think it should be banned day and night, do you do it?"
Tang Shubai had no choice but to smile dumbly, signaling the bartender to go out first if he was fine. When he closed the door, he said, "I didn't know, you are good for this." ”
Li Fengzhu didn't think too much, and replied casually: "I will only smoke when I am annoyed." ”
Since the incident, she has gradually contracted the problem of smoking cigarettes. In the past, no matter how boring and boring I was, I would pick a place and ask permission to light a cigarette. Now, she is more and more unable to care about these things. When I feel that my heart is so depressed that I can't breathe, I will subconsciously start rummaging through the bag to find cigarettes.
Tang Shubai didn't know the hidden secret, thinking that she did it on purpose, and said with a dry smile: "It seems that it is my fault." ”
Li Fengzhu first stood still, and after a while, he rolled his eyes and found the ashtray on the table. She was just about to strangle it, but Tang Shubai stretched out his hand to support her wrist first.
"I'm kidding. Li Fengzhu held the corners of his mouth, trying to make himself look relaxed. He also took out the cigarette and asked Tang Shubai with his eyes if he wanted to have one.
But what she couldn't see was that smile was not only reluctant, but to put it bluntly, ugly. Tang Shubai had already smelled the abnormal smell emanating from her, and thought that she appeared today to dismantle the auction table. Now, it seems, it's not that simple. He smiled and shook his head, and moved forward, the buttons of his suit completely touching the edge of the table. One hand rested on the table, two fingers rubbing each other, observing its color, silently guessing what kind of secret she was hiding in her heart.
Li Fengzhu snorted the cigarette butt vigorously and spit out a big gulp of smoke, this swirling smoke blurred Tang Shubai's facial features, which could bring her a moment of tranquility. The thought that she could narrow down the Iron Fist members by finding out the private circumstances of the damaged traders in the Japanese Concession immediately became full of energy. However, the process required to find out the details is extremely repulsive in her heart.
Tang Shubai picked up the chopsticks, tapped the plate, and said, "I knew this was the case, and there was no need for this table of dishes, how good it would be to send you a pack of cigarettes." ”
The distraught Li Fengzhu was still smoking a lot, but he didn't notice that the cigarette was almost gone. This big mouth sucked the spark straight to her fingers. was burned all over his body, then he threw away the cigarette butt, raised his eyes and caught a glimpse of Tang Shubai eating vegetables, Fang replied: "I don't like a mouthful of cigarettes and a mouthful of food, it is not elegant, and it also spoils the taste." ”
While she lowered her head to pick up the vegetables, Tang Shubai's eyes slanted slightly, stared at her hot fingers and then withdrew.
Why are there so few words today, did I do something wrong to make him wary? Li Fengzhu was so nervous that the chopsticks in his hand almost fell. Fortunately, she had a quick hand, grabbed it in the palm of her hand, and simply knocked it on the plate. Swallowing the food in his mouth, he accosted: "I don't understand Japanese, but I remember that the light sign used to be written as if it was a flower, and the first word was a little similar to 'Sakura', and if I guessed correctly, it should be the meaning of Sakura Izakaya in Japanese." ”
Tang Shubai took a sip of wine and asked her: "The famous izakaya in the Japanese Concession, do you need to spend so much effort to guess?"
Li Fengzhu said: "No matter how famous it is, it is a new store opened this year, and I am not a player, so it is common for me not to know." ”
Tang Shubai was only half full, but he didn't dare to relax. Since Li Fengzhu opened the chatterbox, it means that each word has its own purpose, and he has to deal with it with all his might. Because he put down his chopsticks and said, "You mean, I'm proficient in eating, drinking, and having fun." ”
On the contrary, Li Fengzhu went out too early, and he was really hungry at this time. After eating two bites of food, Fang replied, "That's right." Mostly though, I like to guess, which is a pleasure. ”
"Occupational disease. Tang Shubai chuckled and commented, "But I'm afraid...... Maybe you didn't even notice it yourself, you have to be too strong, and you have a bad problem of not opening your mouth without speaking. ”
Every time she passed by, Li Fengzhu paid attention to her boring head, how to guess the meaning of cherry blossoms, but there was no one to help her confirm. At that time, I was so busy that my heels were almost on the back of my head, and I didn't think to ask for a while, but when I was free, rumors spread in the society, causing her to become completely dumb outside of work. This little question has been delayed in my mind.
However, if you think about it, this is indeed one of her shortcomings. If she could be more honest with her colleagues and friends, many misunderstandings would not exist, such as running away at yesterday's topic selection meeting. As long as one of Jiang Yiyao or Xu Xinqi knew what she was carrying, she didn't have to be so afraid to go back to the newspaper. However, her past forced her to get used to not causing any trouble to anyone. Because of her trouble, if she doesn't get it right, she will lose her life.
