Chapter 869: Premonition One
After Hideki Tojo left, the reception was basically over, and the guests began to leave the Japanese Consulate General in Shanghai one after another. It's just a formality, the dignified Imperial Prime Minister came to Shanghai, and the scene was too deserted to be absolutely inappropriate, even if everyone hated the inside story behind his visit.
Zhou Gaohai said hello to Chen Mingxiang when he left, he wanted to go to the villa in the French Concession to accompany his little lover, usually the work is very heavy, the number of times he came to Shanghai is limited, and he will not seize the opportunity, he is also worried that the hat on his head will change color, and lonely women will sometimes make very crazy moves.
"Everything in Shanghai has been changing because of the war, and even the century-long public concession and the French concession, the glitz and glitz that have been famous throughout Asia are gone, and the only thing that remains unchanged is Paramount, which is still the familiar feeling of before."
"It's been a long time since I've been so relaxed, and it's strange to say that dancing somewhere else is just not as comfortable as Paramount." Li Shiqun danced a song, walked out of the dance floor and said with a smile.
With his status at the moment, he must have a high-standard reception after coming to Paramount, Chen Mingxiang invited two stars among the Paramount dancers to take turns to drink and dance with him.
Backing girls are a very legitimate profession at this time, and there is no shame in saying it, they just dance, drink, chat, and do nothing else, and no one cares about voluntary behavior.
And except for those Japanese or traitors, the guests rarely persecute the backup dancers, who will be regarded as hooligans, and the owners of every nightclub or dance hall also have a backstage, if the guests are allowed to bully the backup dancers, the reputation will be stinky.
Although the wind and dust dancers in Shanghai also have their own pride, when they meet Li Shiqun, the director of the secret service headquarters who is talked about in Shanghai, it is only a matter of vanity and grievance. Although this man is no longer in Shanghai, the city has always had his infamous legend.
"Since the minister is having fun, then just play all night, just in case my sister-in-law overturns the vinegar jar and blames her, don't sell me!" Chen Mingxiang sat on the sofa and said.
"Leave her alone, the pressure has been too much recently, I have long wanted to go back to Shanghai for two days, and the official position is getting bigger and bigger, but I always feel that there is a lot less fun!" Li Shiqun said.
This is true or not, it is true that when he was the director of the secret service headquarters, he lived the life of his dreams, there was no lack of power, no lack of money and no shortage of beautiful women, and everything he wanted was at his fingertips, but it was absolutely impossible for him to give up his current position as the chairman of the province and the secretary general of the Qingxiang Committee, retain the director of the secret service headquarters, and return to his previous life.
The two were talking, and Chen Mingxiang saw Fu Yewen, Wan Lilang, Chen Gongshu, Lin Zhijiang, Zhang Jinlu and others coming, and Xia Zhongming and his daughter Xia Danwei also came.
Chen Mingxiang looked at Xia Danwei, who was smiling like a flower, and frowned slightly, it is not appropriate for a girl's family to run to a place like Paramount after all.
Of course, Xia Zhongming doesn't care as a father, so he doesn't need to worry about it. Besides, if you dare to provoke the daughter of the deputy director of the Survey and Statistics Department, you have to have a little guts, and you will be shot when you go out!
"Senior, is it an honor to invite you to dance?" Xia Danwei said with a smile.
"Of course, it's my honor to invite the younger sister, please!" Chen Mingxiang took the initiative to stretch out his hand to invite.
He didn't have anything to do with Xia Zhongming, but the people present were very familiar with him, and they had all seen Xia Danwei, and they knew that she and Chen Mingxiang were in the same university, so it was not surprising about this.
If you want to talk about dancing, it is nothing more than practice makes perfect, Ji Ji's dancing skills are second to none in the whole Shanghai market, Chen Mingxiang's level is naturally improving by leaps and bounds, and the two have become the focus of the dance floor.
Chen Mingxiang has been precipitating in Shanghai for several years, and he can be regarded as a high-ranking person, with a mature and steady temperament, and he naturally has a charm when he wears an elegant handmade suit.
Xia Danwei was already beautiful and charming, and she was wearing an elegant Western-style skirt tonight, like a noble girl, which attracted the eyes of most men in an instant.
"Lao Xia, you can't be moved to make Director Chen your son-in-law, right? In that way, the fertilizer and water do not flow into the fields of outsiders, and the relationship is more intimate! Fu Yewen said with a smile.
Xia Zhongming is the deputy director of the Survey and Statistics Department, and Chen Mingxiang is the inspector of the Survey and Statistics Department.
"If you can really have a son-in-law like Director Chen, Lao Xia, you can be developed, with his care, you will definitely be rich and rich, and the Japanese will look at you differently!" Chen Gongshu also said with a smile.
Joking on such an entertainment occasion, what he says and what he hears is not taken seriously, everyone knows that Chen Mingxiang's woman Wang Zhen, that is a beautiful lady from the Jinling Wang family, a real family of poetry and books, Xia Zhongming Don't look at it as a deputy minister, at most he is a small nouveau riche.
But then again, with Xia Danwei's appearance, it is more than enough to be an aunt and wife for Chen Mingxiang, and she can be called a leader among the daughters of the upper class in Shanghai.
"Don't fool around, Director Chen may be okay when he hears it, beware of his favorite black cat when he hears it, and scratches your face with one paw!" Xia Zhongming also knew that it was the brothers who were joking.
"I heard that Zhou Gaohai went to the French Concession to find his little lover, but it's a pity, Mrs. Zhou is in Jinling, otherwise there will be another good show tonight." Lin Zhijiang said.
Everyone present laughed, Zhou Gaohai doesn't look at his high power, he is majestic outside, but he is managed by his wife at home, which has become a joke of the entire Jinling government.
Of course, the example of strict wife control is not only Zhou Gaohai, but also the No. 1 traitor Wang Jingwei, the story of these people can be compiled into a thick book, dedicated to their wonderful process.
"Brother, Lao Xia's daughter is very flexible, don't look at her age, but her communication skills are far more mature than her age, but she is a good helper." Li Shiqun whispered to Chen Mingxiang.
"Minister, I feel that you seem to have a lot on your mind, is it because of the arrival of Shibayama Kaneshiro that you have touched the cordon in the depths of your heart?" Chen Mingxiang asked.
Xia Danwei's words and deeds are very measured, with both youthful vitality and beauty, and outstanding intelligence, she is indeed a heart-warming girl, but unfortunately, he does not have such thoughts.
"You're right, I've been an agent for so many years, and I'll be wary of danger coming, I have a very bad premonition, the current situation is very unfavorable to me, you don't know, Chairman Wang has hinted at me and wants me to hand over the position of provincial chairman." Li Shiqun said.
