Yamamoto drove the car to the door of the Haitian Hotel and let Du Xiaowei get out of the car first.

He himself stayed in the cab, looking outside, observing his surroundings.

Despite his disguise, he still didn't want Shuichi Ida to see it.

Du Xiaowei walked towards the hotel lobby, and at this time, a thin young man greeted her: "Miss Weizi, Mr. Ida has been waiting upstairs for a long time, please come with me!" ”

As he spoke, he politely pushed open the door of the lobby for her.

Du Xiaowei nodded and walked in unceremoniously. This man, she knew. Shuichi Ida's assistant was seen at the gate of the airport that day.

When she entered the door, Du Xiaowei turned around and waved her hand at Yamamoto in the car. Then, following the assistant, we walked to the elevator of the hotel.

Yamamoto saw Du Xiaowei enter the lobby, so he hurriedly pushed open the door of the cab and got out of the car.

Then, he shoved the key in his hand into the hand of the parking doorman, and then quickly followed.

As soon as Yamamoto walked into the lobby, Jia Haoming's Land Rover slowly stopped at the door of the Haizhou Hotel.

Just now, the security guard who was in charge of keeping an eye at the door of Dingxin Company called and told him: "Yamamoto and Du Xiaowei have already driven out. ”

So, without saying a word, I drove over.

After getting out of the car, he looked at the piece of Rolex in his hand. It's 5:48 p.m., and we're just over two hours away from Kawasaki's deadline for offers.

He thought that when Ichiro Yamamoto and Du Xiaowei came to the Haizhou Hotel at this time, they must have come to find Shuichi Ida.

It seems that they finally can't hold their breath anymore.

Seeing the doorman parking at the door, he drove Yamamoto's Honda into the parking lot on the first floor of the hotel. The corners of Jia Haoming's mouth curled, and a slight sneer appeared on his slightly thin face.

He knew, they had just gone in. He suddenly had the feeling that the praying mantis was catching cicadas and the yellow finch was behind.

He picked up a beautifully wrapped bouquet of roses from the back seat, then stepped out of the car, dropped the key to a doorman who had come to park the car, and headed to the hotel......

Idada's assistant led Du Xiaowei to the door of a private room in the western restaurant on the third floor: "Miss Weizi, Mr. Ida is inside, please come in!" ”

As he spoke, he respectfully pushed open the door of the private room for her.

Du Xiaowei looked back at Yamamoto who was following closely behind, and saw that he was pushing open the door of an adjacent private room, and after making an OK gesture to her, he flashed and walked in.

Du Xiaowei pursed her lips and smiled, turned back to the assistant and said, "Thank you!" ”

Then, I walked quickly into the private room.

The private room is not very large, more than a dozen square meters, and the panoramic glass curtain wall has a panoramic view of the whole city. The private rooms are heated and lit with orange sconces and melodious music playing. Elegant and warm.

By the window, there is a white square dining table. Next to the dining table, a middle-aged man with an obese figure and a gray kimono sits.

He is Shuichi Ida.

Tonight's Shuichi Ida seems to be a little polite. Seeing Du Xiaowei coming in, she hurriedly got up and gave up her seat: "Miss Weizi, please take a seat!" ”

Then, he waved at the assistant at the door and motioned for him to leave. The assistant bent down in response, then turned and walked out into the hall.

Du Xiaowei walked to the opposite side of Jing Tian and said politely: "Thank you, Mr. Jing Tian, for keeping you waiting!" ”

After saying that, he took off the pink coat on his body and hung it on the hanger next to him. Then, sit down gracefully in front of him.

At this time, a waitress walked in with a recipe in her hand: "Mr. Ida, can you order now?" ”

Jing Tian nodded, and pointed at Du Xiaowei: "Please Miss Weizi order first!" ”

The waiter understood, immediately walked up to her, and respectfully handed her the recipe in his hand.

Du Xiaowei took it and took a look, it was full of various Western-style dishes. Only then did she know that Ida invited her to eat Western food.

"Miss Weizi, I'm sorry. I invite you to eat Western food today, you won't mind, will you? Ida asked with a smile, at this time, he had a bit of a gentleman's demeanor.

Du Xiaowei smiled slightly: "It's okay, the guest is as you please!" ”

As he spoke, he flipped through the menu. Looking at the dazzling array of dishes above, she felt a little overwhelmed.

Fortunately, I only ate Western food with Li Zhejun a few days ago. Otherwise, in front of this Japanese today, you have to look foreign!

So, as she had last time, she ordered a caviar, a clear soup, a drink, a few snacks and a medium-rare steak.

After a while, several neatly dressed and smiling waiters walked in from outside, carrying various dishes.

Looking at a few wine glasses in front of her, Du Xiaowei said that she didn't drink. Therefore, ask the waiter to take the glass away. The waiter was about to put away the wine glass, but Ida smiled slightly: "Miss Weizi, how can you not drink when you eat Western food?" ”

As he spoke, he took a bottle of red wine from the waiter and poured it for her personally. Du Xiaowei had no choice but to agree.

Looking at the table full of all kinds of large and small tableware, Du Xiaowei couldn't help frowning.

To be honest, she hates eating Western food.

It's not because it's not tasty. It's that there are too many rules, and the etiquette is too cumbersome, which makes her a little unbearable.

For example, drinking wine should be paired with different drinks depending on the dish. For each different drink, you have to change the glass.

Therefore, at a banquet of Western cuisine, there are usually three or four wine glasses of different sizes arranged in a horizontal row in front of each diner. They are: champagne glasses, red wine glasses, white wine glasses and water glasses.

In addition, you should drink red wine when eating red meat, and drink white wine when eating white meat.

These are not counted, there are more strict particulars: when drinking, you must drink white wine first, and then red wine; Drink light-colored wine first, then dark-colored wine; Drink the short-aged wine first, then the older wine; Drink the mild sake first, then the sweet liquor......

It is said that Orientals like red tape. However, in Du Xiaowei's view, Westerners like mothers-in-law and mothers. This can be seen in eating Western food.

What made her even more puzzled was that Ida actually liked to eat Western food, and he also paid attention to these cumbersome dining etiquette.

This is very different from Yamamoto, who is also Japanese. He doesn't like to eat Western food and thinks it's a waste of time.

Despite this, Du Xiaowei still discovered a benefit of Western food. That is, when you eat, you don't have to worry about being advised to drink that kind of high liquor.

At this time, the dishes were ready, and Jing Tian politely raised his glass to Du Xiaowei and invited her to drink.

Du Xiaowei said, "Thank you!" He picked up his glass and took a sip.

This is called an aperitif.

After a few glasses of red wine, Du Xiaowei's face was already flushed with a hint of ruddy.

Jing Tian secretly looked at Du Xiaowei and saw her in the candlelight. Bright eyes and bright teeth, pretty face flushed, dignified and charming, I couldn't help but start to shake my heart.

Du Xiaowei saw the color in his eyes, so she hurriedly found a topic to divert his attention: "Mr. Ida, are you really coming to China for the first time?" ”

Ida nodded, "Yes." ”

Du Xiaowei asked again: "Then what is your impression of Haizhou?" ”

Ida thought for a moment and instinctively looked out the window.

At this time, it was just after six o'clock in the evening, and the night had already begun to fall. Haizhou at night, a sea of lights.

Jing Tian stared outside for a while, stretched out his thumb, and said in a few Chinese words he had just learned: "Haizhou is very big...... Very advanced...... The night was charming. It looks like it's as ...... as Tokyo, Japan."

Then, he said in English: "I always thought that China was very poor, and I didn't know that it was developing so fast, which is really surprising......

Du Xiaowei nodded, she heard what Yamamoto said. In Japan, there are still many people who do not know about China and think that China is still the same as it was 30 years ago. Except for Beijing, everywhere else is poor.

After taking a sip of soup, Ida suddenly asked, "Miss Weizi, what's interesting in Haizhou?" When I'm done with what I'm doing, I want you to take me to see it, I want to know about modern China. ”

Du Xiaowei nodded: "Okay, I'm willing to be your tour guide......

Although, she is not from Haizhou. However, it was the university I attended in Haizhou. Therefore, I am still familiar with the city of Haizhou.

So, like a few family treasures, in a Japanese that is not very fluent, he introduced some scenic spots and customs in Haizhou.

Ida listened with interest and nodded incessantly.

……

When Du Xiaowei enthusiastically introduced Haizhou to Jing Tian, Jia Haoming had already come to the door of their private room.

Just now, in the elevator rushing to the sixth floor, he met Ida's assistant.

After inquiry, it was learned that Jing Tian was not in the room on the sixth floor, but invited Du Xiaowei to dinner in the private room on the third floor.

So, I hurriedly changed to another elevator and hurried over.

Jia Haoming stood at the door of the No. 8 private room and wandered for a while, taking advantage of the fact that there was no one in the corridor, he gently pushed the door of the private room open a crack. Then, the probe took a look inside, and sure enough, he saw Du Xiaowei.

She sat in a chair by the window and kept talking.

And sitting across from her should be Ida. However, the crack in the door was too small for him to see.

It can be seen that Yamamoto is not in it.

Seeing Du Xiaowei talking and laughing with Jing Tian inside, Jia Haoming's heart was as uncomfortable as being scratched by a cat.

He wanted to know, what were they talking about inside?

was in a hurry, at this time, a waitress on the floor, holding a bouquet of pink tulips, passed by him. Jia Haoming's heart was moved, and he suddenly remembered something.

So, he hurriedly stopped her: "Waiter, who are you giving this flower for?" ”

The waiter replied, "Private room No. 19." ”

Jia Haoming took out 1,000 yuan and a tip of 500 yuan from his pocket and asked the waiter to buy him a bouquet of such flowers. The waiter nodded happily.

A few minutes later, the waiter came running out of breath with a bouquet of pink tulips in his arms. Jia Haoming took the flower, pretended to look at it, and praised it: "Well, yes, this flower is very beautiful!" ”

As he spoke, he quietly slipped a button-sized black bugging device into the petals of the bouquet of flowers.

It was he a few days ago, online*. When I went to see Ida at noon that day, I wanted to put it in his room, but I didn't have the chance.

This time, it came in handy here.
