Chapter 221: Prom
Tonight's ball will be held at the Li family's Shengqi Hotel, there is a large auditorium on the second floor of Shengqi, which is specially used for balls and banquets, and is a frequent gathering place for Shanghai's upper circles.
When Zhou Min and others walked into the hotel, there were a large number of onlookers, reporters around, and many people who knew and didn't know each other.
"Look, the people of the Zhou family are here"
"Wang Gongzi is really wearing today"
"Isn't that the eldest lady of the Zhou family, she's back"
"The one who wears white clothes is the eldest son of the Qian family in Jiangsu"
"The other one is the second miss of the Zhou family."
"Who's that guy in black, I've never seen it before"
“”
In short, Zhou Min and the others attracted everyone's attention as soon as they appeared, and then suddenly a reporter squeezed forward and came to Zhou Min and asked: "Miss Zhou, I heard that you and Miss Wu have just returned from the front line, why do you want to go to the front line to work in the army, everyone knows how dangerous the front line is"
For the reporter's question, everyone present was very curious. The Zhou family has such good conditions, just donate some money, why go in person.
"If the country lives and dies, how can it be avoided because of misfortune and fortune" Zhou Min left such a sentence, and walked in with the people around him.
Leaving behind the thoughtful crowd and other reporters frantically taking pictures.
"Zhimin, Minmin, Katsuji, you can count it, please come in quickly"
"Mingdong, you go and get busy, we don't need to be polite between brothers. ”
"That's right, Zhimin, why don't you introduce me to this gentleman. Li Mingdong's gaze fell on Chen Yunzhang beside Zhou Min.
"Mingdong, this is Mr. Chen, a water cultivator in Jiangxi, and Min Min met in Jiangxi. ”
"It turned out to be Mr. Chen, and I am fortunate to meet him"
"Mr. Li is polite"
Chen Yunzhang said coolly, for Zhou Min holding himself, not Qian Li, he is very beautiful now. It's to attract everyone's attention, but it's still very cool.
"Zhimin, you take everyone in first, and I have to meet the others here."
"Okay, Mingdong, you're busy"
Zhou Min and his entourage walked up to the second floor and entered the auditorium for the banquet, this auditorium is large enough to accommodate hundreds of people is not a problem, the decoration is even more splendid, completely European style, the ceiling of the auditorium is a huge crystal chandelier, the auditorium is reflected in the brightness, now there are a lot of people in the auditorium, there are all well-dressed people, men's clothes and leather shoes, women's dresses, and some rich old people wearing horse coats and skirts.
The smell of extravagance greeted you.
"Hey, isn't this Zhou's niece? When did you come back from Nanchang, and I've been talking to your other uncles about you these days?"
"Thank you Uncle Wang for your concern, I have just returned to Shanghai, and I was invited by Li Gongzi to hold a ball, and I was invited to participate in this ball,"
"Haha, niece Zhou, this future is the world of your young people, we are all old bones, and we can't dance anymore"
"Uncle Wang said with a smile, you are old and strong now. I'm in good spirits."
"Haha"
The people who went to the dance were all greetings, familiar and unfamiliar, and they had to talk about topics for a while, which was a good opportunity to get closer.
This is, a group of people walked in at the door, it was Flanders and others, representatives of the British in the Shanghai Concession, as soon as he entered, everyone greeted them warmly, sycophants, and kept overflowing.
Zhou Min, Xiaoxue, and Chen Yunzhang stood behind and didn't step forward, this kind of thing of seeing people talking nonsense would just let Wang Zhimin and Qian Li deal with it.
A lot of people came one after another outside, representatives from various countries came, and the last one to arrive was the Japanese, the representative figure was Mitsui, who was very red when he met the enemy, Mitsui saw Zhou Min's smiling expression and suddenly became cold, and his eyes were gloomy and said: "Miss Zhou, I didn't expect you to come back from Nanchang" The meaning of the words is why you didn't die outside.
"Although there are many dangers in the Nanchang territory and the fighting continues, I still saw the fire of the explosion at Nanchang Airport, to be honest, it is extremely gorgeous, and I want to see it again. ”
"Hmph"
The short battle between Mitsui and Zhou Min made the people around feel cold, for Mitsui's provocation, Zhou Min was a little surprised, Mitsui is a person who is very deep in the city, how can he suddenly provoke, there must be a demon when something goes wrong, which makes Zhou Min have to be vigilant.
More than 20 minutes later, the main owner Li Mingdong came in from outside, walked to the stage, and said loudly with a microphone: "Welcome to Shengqi Hotel to participate in today's dance, on behalf of Shengqi Hotel, I wish everyone a happy and happy play tonight." ”
After Li Mingdong finished speaking, the applause came to mind.
"Today's ball is to let everyone relax in the tense situation, and on the other hand, it is also to provide a platform for everyone to communicate. ”
As Li Mingdong's voice fell, the music sounded, and dancers and singers appeared on the stage, singing about Night Shanghai.
As soon as the music started, the atmosphere began to heat up, some of the guests watched the performance, some danced on the dance floor, some women gathered around the family to listen to his bragging, and of course, more men gathered around the women to show their courtesy.
Flender and these foreigners sat together and chatted notoriously about the situation and the interests of various countries in China.
The older generation is an old fox, and they are further negotiating cooperation and sharing the interests of Shanghai Tang.
The more alternative ones are Zhou Min and his party and the Japanese.
Looking at Mitsui's frosty face, no one wanted to find themselves bored, mainly some Japanese businessmen whispered around him.
And Zhou Min and the others were sitting in a corner, sipping wine, and talking in a whisper.
"Let's prepare, there are fifteen minutes until half past seven, when Li Mingdong will go back to the room to answer the phone, Xiaohu and Zhu in the room have been ambushed, and then catch Li Mingdong and transport him out from the channel where the garbage is transported. But in the meantime, we have to deal with the two of them, so as not to make the bodyguards guarding the door of the room suspicious, and if they can't do it, they will be knocked unconscious. ”
"Minmin, I'll do this, you can rest assured. I know his bodyguard well. ”
"By the way, we also have to be careful of the Japanese, if we act, the Japanese will definitely make trouble. The main focus of the Japanese is me, and I'll be at the dance tonight, and the rest will be up to you. ”
"Don't worry, Minmin"
Zhou Min is still a little nervous about tonight's actions, there are two main actions tonight, one is to capture Li Mingdong unknowingly in a chaotic situation, especially to guard against the Japanese, and the second is that the bandits and others who have been ambushed outside the Li family's mansion enter the Li family, loot it, and by the way, eliminate some of the Li family's combat forces, and then point explosives in the Li family's security.
Zhou Min and the others hated the Li family in their hearts, if it weren't for the follow-up planning, they really wanted to collapse Li Mingdong directly.
Just as Zhou Min was waiting tormentedly, a flower suddenly appeared in front of her.
Zhou Min was stunned by the sudden appearance of red roses.
"Miss Zhou, let me introduce myself, my surname is Zhang, my name is Zhang Zhanlong, can I have the honor to dance with you?"
Zhang Zhanlong, who is this, Zhou Min looked at this handsome man with a little oily hair and powder, and he was very speechless.
Not to mention that Zhou Min was speechless, Qian Li and Chen Yunzhang were also stunned by this uninvited guest, and they were secretly scolding in their hearts: Where did it come from.
Looking at Zhang Zhanlong, Zhou Min suddenly had a flash of inspiration, anyway, he wanted to attract the attention of the Japanese, so it was better to dance with him, just to cover the actions of others.
"Oh, it's half past seven, I've been here for so long and I just want to do something, Mr. Zhang, it's an honor to be your dance partner, Xiaoxue, Katsuji, Weimo, you also go to dance, anyway, this is a dance party, don't be idle" Zhou Minjiao smiled.
"Miss Zhou, please"
"Please"
