Hu Wenkai was welcomed into the box by Lao Yi, and he couldn't understand whether it was arranged by Lao Yi or the banquet arranged by Menina. The Yankees were talking and laughing in the box, and Jiang Qiuming and Sun Daming were smoking cigarettes in the corner of the box.

"Who will pay for Lao Yi's banquet today?"

"What's the matter, boss, I'm paying for it." Lao Yi said, grabbing his hair.

After Hu Wenkai glanced around, Lao Yi immediately knew what was going on, and hurriedly said: "Boss, these people are all friends made by Menina during this time, and they just drink and don't talk about things at night, and two of them were brought by Carl." ”

"Wen Kai, why did you come, just wait for you to start the table." Carl left his friend to talk to and walked over.

"Karl is not dark yet, and the banquet must be opened at least until it gets dark."

"Wen Kai, I can't talk about you, you have too many crooked reasoning. Carrota is not at home tonight, so let go and drink. ”

"Wine is not a good thing, it is better to drink less, drink less pleasant and drink more to hurt the liver." He was a little startled when he saw Karl's face glowing red.

Menina was surrounded by several people and couldn't get out of it and smiled apologetically at Hu Wenkai, Hu Wenkai nodded and said that he knew, what to do and leave him alone.

Hu Wenkai was pulled aside by Carl and said, "Wenkai, let me introduce you to Mr. Steven, who has just arrived in the United States. ”

Hu Wenkai stretched out his hand and said, "Hello Mr. Steven, welcome to China, is Mr. Steven working for the State Council?" ”

Steven shook Hu Wenkai's hand and looked at Carl.

Hu Wenkai said with a smile: "Don't look at Carl is not what he said, just look at you as an official, a typical diplomatic official, dressed in a formal suit and wearing a tie." Carl introduces your attitude, but the subordinate introduces the tone of the boss. ”

"It's better for General Hu to see it than to hear it, you can see my origin at a glance, and take the liberty of asking if you can guess my official position." Steven laughed happily, even if Hu Wenkai couldn't see through it, he would take the initiative to tell his origin next.

"It's better not to guess the official position, otherwise the wine won't taste good, but it's probably at the level of deputy secretary of state, Mr. Steven, don't admit it or deny it, let's talk about it after dinner."

Steven was extremely surprised in his heart, Hu Wenkai's guess was right, and the US Assistant Secretary of State is in charge of East Asian affairs. If Karl hadn't leaked it, then this Hu Wenkai would be too simple, at least too familiar with the United States.

After a few pleasantries, the dish was served. Hu Wenkai slapped his face and signaled everyone to be quiet.

"Tonight, Wen Kai is here to entertain Miss Menina and my distinguished friend Mr. Steven, please take a seat."

Hu Wenkai was amused in his heart, as soon as Steven appeared, he showed that he was superior to Carl, Carl was the vice consul, and he was not a businessman from the State Department who came from the United States.

When arranging to sit at the table, Hu Wenkai whispered a few words to Lao Yi, and Lao Yi nodded and walked out of the box.

It must be easy to lift a woman at the table*, and Menina has a good amount of wine, at least she doesn't refuse to come. The other two South American women are also heroines, and they frequently toast to the bar, while Batress and Blas have problems with language communication, and they drink very little.

Halfway through the banquet, Hu Wenkai slapped his hands again to signal quiet, and he had something to say.

"Ladies and gentlemen, our local rules, there are distinguished guests who come must have a prize game halfway, the game is to beat the drum and pass the flowers, and whoever stops the drums will have the opportunity to get random prizes."

Lao Yi took a small drum, blindfolded him and said, "I didn't look at the prize, it was prepared by the company at will, but there is luck in the big prize bet." ”

Menina contributed a handkerchief, and the people at the table were eager to try and everyone wanted to win the lottery, which is human nature. Lao Yi beat the small drum, and the handkerchief kept shifting in the group, and the drum stopped, and the friend brought by Menina happened to be holding the handkerchief in his hand.

Jiang Qiuming took the prize from the waiter and handed it to him, and after opening the box, he gasped for a beautiful watch. Everyone's enthusiasm increased, and they all asked him to make a cup of himself, and this guy was happy that he drank two glasses.

Lao Yi's drum beat sounded again, and everyone couldn't take their eyes off the fast-passing handkerchief, itching in their hearts to stop when the handkerchief was in their hands. The sound of the drum stopped as the handkerchief passed over Mrs. Butres, who rose to her feet excitedly, and immediately finished her own wine and drank another glass of her own accord.

Jiang Qiuming took the gift box from the waiter outside the door and handed it to Mrs. Butres, she eagerly opened the gift box and screamed, it was a gold bracelet. The people at the table gasped, the prize was too big. Mrs. Butress immediately put the gold bracelet on her hand, happily left her seat and walked over to the blindfolded old Yi, hugged him and kissed him on the head.

The atmosphere at the wine table reached *, Hu Wenkai shouted loudly that this definitely depends on luck, and the last prize, everyone looks at luck, good luck in a good life.

Lao Yi beat the drum, and with the sound of the drum, Menina's handkerchief began to pass, and everyone wanted to stay in their hands for a while, but Lao Yi's drum did not stop. Hu Wenkai was busy smoking a cigarette in his mouth, holding a ZIP lighter in his hand, and was about to light a cigarette when the handkerchief came over, so he had to give up lighting the cigarette and pass the handkerchief to the next person.

Lit the cigarette, snapped the lighter shut, and then the old drums stopped, and the handkerchief actually stopped in Steven's hand. Steven was about to hand the handkerchief to Carl, who shouted, "I'm just a little bit lucky, you can't be late, stop a second late." ”

Hu Wenkai laughed, this guy was obviously acting. Those who can come out and mix are shrewd people.

Stiwen looked like Mrs. Butres, and after drinking the wine in front of him, he added another glass and dried it up, and looked at Jiang Qiuming with his wine glass upside down. Jiang Qiuming took the gift box from the waiter's hand and handed it to Steven casually.

Hu Wenkai said that it was the last prize, and everyone stretched their heads out to see what the prize was. Steven was also excited in his heart, but he didn't expect that the last prize would fall into his hands, didn't he really verify Hu Wenkai's words, and he was lucky.

Opening the gift box, inside is a delicate carved wooden box, Steven gently pressed the hidden button, the wooden box lid popped open to reveal a pair of gold watches studded with diamonds. A table of people exclaimed, this final jackpot is so fucking big, too expensive.

Karl immediately shouted: "Good luck, pure luck, it's almost mine." Just one second. I'm going to kill you. ”

Steven, I don't know if Hu Wenkai has the intention to do it, then he will be stupid at home, and he wants to give gifts without leaving a trace, no wonder he is like a fish in water. In order to give himself a big gift, he actually spent an extra watch and a gold bracelet, and there was no trace of this gift, and no one could find a trace.

Menina stood up appropriately and said, "Good luck to Mr. Steven." I'll have one drink, and Mr. Steven will drink two. ”

Menina broke the surprise of everyone at the wine table and let everyone return to the banquet. Hu Wenkai thought it was still the same old saying, who is not a fucking fool, but saw that Steven did not refuse the prize but drank it with Menina.

Hu Wenkai has a target this time, and Steven's visit to China must be two things: one is to lay the ground for Vice President Coolidge's visit to China, and the other is probably for Peru. If he can stand up for Coolidge, he must be Coolidge's henchman, and when Coolidge becomes president, he will definitely climb up.

The United States is not as good as future generations, and there is no ordinary lack of diplomatic personnel, and a young diplomatic backbone like Steven will certainly not leave the administrative system easily.

With the prize, Steven spoke more and more casually, and Carl switched places and sat next to Menina, and talked quietly.

Carl was grateful to Hu Wenkai from the bottom of his heart, he knew that Hu Wenkai was not short of money, but this behavior really saved face for himself, and made him count himself in Steven's mind since Steven accepted the prize. He never thought that the gift could be given out so lightly, this Hu Wenkai is really a human spirit.

Menina proposes to go to the Riffy Road bar, and Carl looks at Steven, who is his boss, and Carl has to accompany him back to the consulate if he doesn't go.

Steven patted Carl on the shoulder with a red face and said, "Carl, you accompany them to the bar, I'll go back to the consulate to rest first, you don't have to accompany me." ”

Seeing Steven away, Carl put his arm around Hu Wenkai and whispered in his ear, "Wenkai, thank you." ”

"Thank me for what? Thank you for pouring you wine in a moment? Hu Wenkai pulled away his pig's trotters.

Lao Yi pushed the door into the Xiafei Road Bar, and immediately a waiter came to guide him to the old seat, a special box surrounded by four booths.

Lao Yi shook his fat body and said to the waiter: "Two bottles of Latour, two bottles of juniper, two bottles of whiskey, two bottles of vodka, a case of beer, and what are the dried fruits and fruits." ”

"Help me make a cup of Longjing and a few cups of coffee." Hu Wenkai added.

Carl was obviously excited, he didn't expect such a result today, and his hand snapped to invite the waiter to whisper.

Lao Yi smiled and said to Hu Wenkai: "Carl's reserved program is about to play, sing your song Only You, this guy will sing this song as long as he is happy." Today you help him get his boss, he ....... ”

"Nonsense, I'll help him fart, this guy is the precursor to Coolidge's visit to China, and he is in charge of East Asian affairs. It is estimated that he is also involved in the affairs of Menina's family in Peru. I'm just helping him by the way, mainly to get through the relationship for us. ”

While the two were talking, Karl stood in front of the band with his guitar on his back and said to the microphone: "Ladies and gentlemen, I will dedicate the song "Only You" written and composed by my friend Mr. Hu Wenkai to Miss Menina. ”

Menina's eyes lit up and she looked at Hu Wenkai with his mouth open and said dumb words, which really means the song you wrote, Hu Wenkai nodded. Carl has sung this song for a long time, and his singing voice is graceful and floating in the bar, and to be honest, there is really a charm.

"Lao Yi, how is it over there in Vladivostok? I guess not, right? ”

"I really forgot if you didn't mention it, Marshal Apleev wrote that Vladivostok is in a precarious situation, and the war situation there has deteriorated and erosive."

"Let them be able to transport the supplies out as soon as possible, I don't think they will support it until the end of October, and you arrange two ships to go over for the final rush shipment."

"Okay, what are they going to do after October?"

"Let's go to Lianyungang to repair first, and then we will have a place to go, but it's not us. Finally, remember to bring more infantry veterans when retreating. "Hu Wenkai began to fight the idea of Apleev, South America and Peru don't want mercenaries, I will go to Apleev, and the money will naturally be collected by myself.

"Boss, you want to use soldiers?"

", who said that?" Hu Wenkai immediately turned his face and scolded.

Hu Wenkai instructed Sun Daming when he watched Carl sing halfway: "Sun Daming hurry up and pretend to be deep water* for Miss Menina to toast." ”

Sun Daming acted like a conditioned reflex, after pouring Latour into the wine glass, he unscrewed the vodka and poured it into the center of the wine.

"Miss Menina, Carl has a habit of toasting him with beautiful women after singing, but he will pretend to refuse, and if you stop him from getting off the stage, he will pretend to be forced to drink it, and then his singing will come to a successful end." Hu Wenkai handed the deep water* to Menina and said in a flicker.

Menina giggled and said, "Really, he's so good at acting, you won't lie to me." ”

After speaking, he stood up, took a glass of Latour, and slowly walked to the music stage.
