Chapter 372: The Maritime Merchants' Dinner (Part II)
To be honest, Li Ran's dancing skills are really average, but Richelieu's teaching is obviously not in vain.
His dance steps are decent, but he will not be embarrassed, and there will be no embarrassment of stepping on the woman's shoes again.
And Akagi's dance level is surprisingly good.
Slowly, the dance steps of the two changed from the initial incongruity to coordination.
Li Ran was in the middle of it, and he could feel that Akagi was deliberately cooperating with him, and he said in a voice that only two people could hear:
"I didn't think you could dance so well?"
"The Admiral is not bad, I heard from Richelieu, the Admiral has been learning dance for less than a month. ”
"Ha, to be honest, dance is similar to martial arts in some ways. ”
"Martial arts?" Akagi felt a little fresh, but didn't ask too much:
"Anyway, the Admiral's physical coordination is very strong, and the more you jump, the better it gets."
"Is there a chance to dance with you in the future?"
"Alas, I'm afraid that there were too many people around the Admiral at that time, and I'm afraid Akagi didn't have that kind of opportunity. ”
Akagi said, a trace of embarrassment flashed in the depths of his eyes, and he hurriedly snorted:
"Oh, hah. ”
After speaking, the music also happened to enter the climax part, and the power in Li Ran's hand increased.
Akagi held Li Ran's hand, and the dance steps of the two changed from tender tango to passionate tango.
The dance steps of the two people became more and more intense, and as the dance steps became more and more intense, those in the audience who originally wanted to see Li Ran's jokes couldn't help but open their mouths wide.
Because they think they are doing better, especially if the female companion is still a shipwreck like Akagi, who is beautiful and beautiful, you must know that when it is pleasing to the eye, it is easier to be distracted.
Li Ran obviously didn't show the frizziness that young people should have.
Dance is an elegant sport, the merchants present are the essence of the people who have attended dozens of banquets, and the character and temperament of some people can be seen from the dance steps, whether there is self-cultivation or not, and you can get a glimpse of one or two in the dance skills.
In their opinion, Li Ran's dance steps are actually average and decent, however, it is precisely because they are slightly higher than the beginner's dance steps, but the strength and cleanliness contained in them make his dance steps a little more robust.
Akagi was originally a ship lady with an oriental appearance, and it has a little more harmony with this robustness.
And Akagi herself is in this dance, so she can naturally feel the strength of Li Ran's dance steps.
It made Akagi feel great, she wasn't as weak as she looked.
The Admiral in her impression should be like this.
Originally, she thought that the Admiral was just a weak scholar, but until now, she realized that perhaps the Admiral was hiding the enthusiasm that he didn't feel in his heart.
It's just that she knows that this passion doesn't belong to her yet.
Admiral, Akagi is really liking you more and more.
Finally, the dance music also came to an end, Li Ran ended with a beautiful sideways embrace, and Akagi was also very cooperative, showing a heartfelt smile.
"Bang Bang Bang ......"
The audience burst into thunderous applause.
Li Ran let go of Akagi gently, and then gasped slightly, his state just now was just a sudden improvement, but he didn't expect that Akagi could maintain such elegance even under the influence of his fierce dance steps.
"I really envy you, you don't blush and pant like this, whew. ”
"Well done, Admiral, look at their reaction. ”
Akagi meant something.
When Li Ran heard this, he realized that the music had stopped, and instead of applause, he quickly reacted and showed a heartfelt smile:
"Let everyone laugh. ”
"No, Major General Li is young, and his dancing level is already very good. ”
"Yes, yes, it's strong, it's rare. ”
……
These compliments made Li Ran frown slightly, he himself weighed his dancing skills very clearly, the hypocritical compliments, and the smirk, made his original good impression of the maritime merchants also wear out.
Akagi noticed Li Ran's mood swings for the first time, her brows furrowed slightly, and she reminded softly:
"Admiral, I know you don't like this, but there are times when spectacle is necessary, and hypocrisy is a disguise skill. ”
"Perhaps. Li Ran knew that Akagi didn't want to be emotional, he wasn't so impulsive, he didn't like it or not, but such a scene was, in the final analysis, a necessity for human sophistication and communication.
"Everyone, let's continue the dinner, Akagi and I will rest first, you don't have to worry about me. ”
Li Ran knows that there may be more and more such cooperation in the future, and there will be more and more such dances in the future, and he must learn to adapt.
"Yes, yes, Major General Li is also tired, everyone, let's continue the dinner. ”
Of course, Elquites knew the meaning of Li Ran's words, after all, the two sides only used the dinner party to achieve certain goals, and Li Ran performed a dance, which was not just as simple as dancing a dance, revealing that he was willing to cooperate with the maritime merchants.
Presumably, those old foxes will not understand this information.
Sure enough, hearing Elquitus' words, the other maritime representatives also spoke up one after another.
Now that the purpose of the dinner has been achieved, it is time for them to let go of their worries and enjoy themselves.
The so-called self-cultivation is not only reflected in the dance, but also in how a banquet ends perfectly.
Li Ran had already made a good start to the day for them, and it was necessary for them to draw a perfect end to this dinner.
What is at stake is their commercial future after the route near the Dawn Town.
Li Ran took Chicheng in his arms, left the noisy dinner hall, and came to the fountain pool, he looked at the European-style fountain in front of him, and said with emotion:
"They know more about the world than I thought. ”
"The Admiral doesn't like it?"
"It's not that I don't like it, it's just that I don't fit in. ”
"I think the Admiral is still a good annoyance, and I don't want the Admiral to force myself to adapt. ”
"Akagi, I'm not the kind of person that others can force me. ”
"Really?" Akagi was noncommittal, she glanced at the statue on the fountain, and a hint of murderous intent flashed in her eyes:
"Admiral, no one can force you, and if there is, then the sisters of Akagi and Minato will help you clear it. ”
"You say that, you make me feel like a villain, and your admiral has no ambition to conquer the world. ”
"Then what if, the people that the Admiral cherishes are ......"
"Akagi, I don't like people to figure out my mind, I'll tell you about that pocket watch later. ”
"Admiral, did you already know?"
"Guess, after all, my pocket watch is not a valuable item, and it is not surprising that it is placed in the Admiral's office. ”
"I'm sorry. Akagi also knew that he had violated a secret that the Admiral did not want to touch.
"It's okay, it's just that I don't want to distract you because of my own affairs, and now our enemy is still the deep sea. ”
However, the people that the Admiral cherished were also important, and Akagi was willing to help the Admiral. ”
"It's not time yet, I hate trouble, so in the case of insufficient intelligence, I don't want too many people to know about the pocket watch for the time being. ”
"I see. Akagi also knew that she couldn't continue, so she changed the subject:
"Admiral, after this dinner, the death route will surely become more and more prosperous, and I believe that it will not be long before the Admiral will be able to master a golden route on his own. ”
"Do you master it yourself?" Li Ran glanced up at the night sky, and the stars were shining:
"Then let's hope that day comes sooner. ”
"It's going to come soon. A hint of resoluteness flashed in Akagi's eyes:
The Admiral doesn't like trouble, so Akagi will help the Admiral solve it! Whoever touches someone the Admiral cherishes must pay the price!
