Chapter 80
The day of the interview with Shihei Inagaki was a thunderous day.
A few dark clouds were secretly held in the sky, piled up heavily, like a huge terrible net pressed heavily between the blue bricks and red tiles.
Hua Ting just stepped into the door of Juxin Hall, and was greeted by a young man dressed as a soldier, he stood still in front of Hua Ting, and said after respectfully saluting her: "Hello Miss Bai, Mr. Inagaki is eating in room 201 on the second floor, Miss Bai upstairs, please." ”
Hua Tingyi raised his eyebrows, stepped towards the handrail wooden ladder in front of him, and saw through the carved wooden window of the second-floor box, and vaguely saw an officer wearing a military hat sitting inside.
The box was quite large, and there were four garrisons at the four corners, with straight waists and shoulders, solemn faces, a holster pinned to the waist, and the barrel of the gun shook a little warm yellow. There were a few delicate refreshments on the mahogany table, and a pair of slender but bony hands held the teacup of thin celadon and gently rested it on the table, and the dark red liquid shook twice, almost swinging out.
Hua Ting raised his eyes slightly, and went up along the hands, only then did he see the appearance of Inagaki Zhiping, tall, with broad shoulders and narrow waist, wearing a dark blue military coat, his complexion was whiter than that of ordinary officers marching and fighting, with long eyebrows in the sideburns, and a high nose bridge that made the silhouette as clear and resolute as a knife cut, but such facial features actually had a pair of peach blossom eyes, and a smile brought a bit of evil spirit, adding a bit of handsomeness to this majesty.
I thought it would be a middle-aged man with a fat head and big ears who was brutally slashed by a ruthless pig-killing knife over the years, but I didn't expect that he looked quite domineering, and he was a little similar to Bai Qihong.
"Miss Bai, please be seated." Inagaki Shihei covered his robe and got up to give up his seat, picked up the pot and personally added a cup of tea to the flowers.
Hua Ting smiled at the corner of his mouth and sat down generously.
She is wearing a very new Western-style riding suit today, the velvet black vest outlines the beautiful figure, the white shirt has a delicate stand-up collar against her slender neck and the edges and corners of the chin show three points of pride, a pair of knee-length leather boots under her feet, and a pair of black and bright straight hair handsomely coiled a handful of balls on the top of her head.
"Thank you." Hua Ting took the tea handed by Inagaki Zhihei, smiled and thanked him, but there was a little alienation and politeness between his eyebrows, which was different from his usual smile.
Inagaki Zhiping nodded, took a sip of tea, looked at Hua Ting's face, and said with a smile, "Miss Bai is handsome and clear, and she is not like Mr. Bai at all." ”
The words are complimentary, but the tone is frivolous.
Hua Ting laughed and did not answer, but said, "Mr. Inagaki speaks Chinese very well. ”
"I've been in China for a long time." His right hand was lightly clasped on the edge of the table, and his eyes never took off the clear and moving eyes on the other side.
Hua Ting quietly took a sip of tea, crossed his legs and crossed his legs, the tips of his leather shoes touched the corner of the table slightly, and his smiling eyes narrowed, "I specially asked Mr. Inagaki to come to Juxintang today, presumably Mr. should have guessed my intention." ”
Inagaki Zhihei looked at her, his words were still casual, the corners of his lips were slightly raised, and he didn't see a smile in his eyes when he looked into her eyes, "What...... Is Mr. Bai still not satisfied with the price he agreed before? "It's straight to the point.
Nonsense! The ghost is satisfied!
"Mr. Inagaki doesn't think that the price he offered is really a little ......" Hua Ting took a piece of osmanthus cake to his mouth with two fingers, and said with a thick smile, "Does it look like a robbery?" After that, he bit the osmanthus cake, and his round fingertips rubbed his thin lips, and a simple action was a little more romantic.
Inagaki Zhiping's eyes twitched, and he didn't suspect her for being presumptuous, but laughed lowly, pulled his right hand, and sent a cup of Jin Junmei that had just been poured in his hand to Hua Ting, and said with a gentle smile, "Then Miss Bai thinks...... What is the best price? ”
Hua Ting raised his eyes and smiled, only to see that Gu Pan's eyes were like water, and his eyes were a little bewitching red, "According to the price that Mr. Bai originally offered to Mr. Inagaki, it is very suitable." "Selling up the soft words of Wu Nong in Jiangnan, pay attention to the figure of a head with a lowered eye.
This is the same thing that learns, that is, the eyes are charming.
Inagaki Zhihei looked at her, raised his hand slightly, put his lips on the celadon cup, and raised his eyebrows ambiguously: "Miss Bai doesn't seem to be sincere. ”
"If you want to say that you are insincere, Mr. Inagaki is more insincere, right?" She held the cup in the palm of her hand, and then tilted her head and smiled at him, her beautiful face was a little smart and pretty, and the deliberately crumpled waves in her eyes were even more undulating, "Doing business is about mutual benefit and mutual assistance, but Mr. Inagaki only blindly considers the little interests he has at hand and abuses his power to bully the market, not only that, but Mr. also threatens to cut off the sea route and seal off people's financial routes, which is really not a gentleman's doing," she teased with hot tea, "After a long time, who would dare to cooperate with someone like Mr. Inagaki?" ”
The gentle and gentle words taught Inagaki Zhiping to be stunned when he heard it, and he was not angry, but laughed, "What Miss Bai said actually makes sense, but ......" Inagaki Zhiping laughed heartily, "In this way, I don't get much benefit, right?" ”
"Why is it no good?" This Japanese is really cheap and sells it, "Mr. Inagaki might as well go to the people and ask, how much is opium worth?" ”
Inagaki Zhihei seemed to be in a good mood, and the smile in his eyes was a little more real than before, "Making opium is already trying to make huge profits." ”
"But we also need to pay attention to fair cooperation." Hua Ting smiled faintly, "The Chinese pay the most attention to the word "reason", but judging from Mr. Inagaki's request, it seems too arrogant, right?" ”
"Miss Bai means I'm unreasonable?" Inagaki raised his voice slightly, but there was not a trace of anger on his face.
"Exactly."
Inagaki Zhihei didn't speak, but just looked at the pair of eyes that were slightly bent in the flowers, and it was rare to keep smiling.
"Hate only hate, lying monks and laymen, where are the world's gardens and trees Buddha? Where is the Buddha of Light with branches and leaves? Where is the quicksand Buddha on both sides of the rivers and lakes? Where are the 840,000 Buddha Buddhas? ”。
The tune of "Sifan" downstairs is long and roundabout, and it is the water mill cavity, which seems to be glutinous rice grinding out sticky juice in the stone mill, and the throat is lingering, tactful and soft.
After singing the song, Inagaki Shihei finally spoke, "Miss Bai should know that I won't do business without benefits." ”
"But it seems to me that in this opium business, Mr. Inagaki has received no less benefits than Mr. Bai." Hua Ting picked up the teapot and filled the empty cup in Inagaki Zhiping's hand with tea, but was unexpectedly caught by this bony palm.
The teapot shook slightly, and with a slight exertion of force, Shihei Inagaki put the teapot back in place, but this hand was still covered on Hana's left hand.
Hana didn't look at him, but he stared at her eyes, "I can agree with the price you said, but ......" Inagaki Zhihei bent his five fingers and shook her palm hard, "What kind of benefits is Miss Bai going to give me to show her sincerity?" ”
Hua Ting's eyes fell on his face, and he was silent for a long time before he curled the corners of his lips and smiled lowly, "Mr. Inagaki, my husband is downstairs." The voice was so light that it was not half fishy, and a pair of raised eyebrows swept the pink rouge, and it was seen that Inagaki Shihei began to feel slightly drunk.
As soon as Shihei Inagaki moved his tail finger, Hanating withdrew his hand.
"Just kidding Miss Bai." His tone was not half wavering, it seemed to be just early morning and afternoon gossip.
"So, this business ......"
"Sincerity." Inagaki Zhihei gently spit out these two words, but he taught Hana to shudder.
Inagaki Zhihei is really notoriously difficult, and Hua heard that he refused to give up lightly, so he was ready to face the difficulties early, "So what kind of sincerity does Mr. Inagaki want?" ”
Inagaki Zhihei stared at her for a long time, raised his hand and asked someone to bring a white copper smoking gun, although he didn't speak, there was a casual smile in his eyes.
Every inch of Hana's skin stood on end with trembling, she knew Inagaki Shihei's intentions, but she still maintained a face without flaws, and her smiling eyes slowly swept back and forth on this smoking gun.
"I don't know about this thing, has Miss Bai ever tasted it?" Inagaki Zhihei carefully moved the copper cigarette gun to Hua Ting's hand.
Thunder sounded outside the window, and there was a faint smile in his eyes.
"Mr. Inagaki means......" Hua Ting was obviously smiling, but his eyes were desolate, and that kind of contradiction revealed a faint fierce light in Hua Ting's eyes, "It's for me to ......"
"Take a bite." (To be continued.) )
