Hu Wenkai was numb across the square table, this is the confused generation after the war, so simple and direct. He involuntarily stepped back, her fingers running against his chin and falling.

"Jennifer, let's go dance." Hu Wenkai couldn't help but pull her up and walked to the dance floor.

The dance floor was elegantly paved with solid wood, and the Belgian girl meekly followed him onto the dance floor. Hu Wenkai took her to gently ripple on the dance floor, this girl should not have been professionally trained, and the dance steps are always a little different in rhythm, just a little bit different from the perfect fit.

It's 1922, and families in these small European countries will definitely ask dance teachers to train their children to dance as long as they have a little status, which can only show that Jennifer's family is a rising nouveau riche.

"Augre, are you French?" Jennifer whispered in his ear.

"My passport is French."

"And what nationality are you?" Jennifer asked inquiringly.

"Actually, I'm a wandering bad man, I'm not a gentleman, I specialize in deceiving the hearts of simple girls, and I make a living from it." Hu Wenkai began to talk nonsense.

"Giggles, O'Gray, you're so humorous, how many girls have you deceived?"

"It's a shame to say that I didn't cheat the girl, but I let the girl cheat all the money in my pocket. Now girls are too cunning to deceive. Expect to get one or two tonight. Hu Wenkai crossed her right arm and looked down at her with his head down.

"Ogray, you're doomed to fail tonight, Christina and I only have two hundred dollars on us, and we're too scared to stay in the hotel, for fear that we won't be able to buy a train ticket home tomorrow." Jennifer couldn't stop laughing.

Nima, these girls are really good at playing poor travel, and they will talk to rich men when they have no money. But fortunately, I still know that the last two hundred dollars will be withheld to buy a ticket, think about it, two hundred dollars in this time and space is equivalent to the use value of twenty thousand dollars in the future.

"Why don't you find a cheap hotel to stay in and take a regular train back to Europe?"

"No, the two of us are running for the Orient Express, and we will regret not taking the Orient Express."

It's so stubborn, what's the difference between this tone and the little girl asking for an iPhone in later generations. But think about it, $200 is probably enough for two people to sit in a small box for four people.

Hu Wenkai didn't want to answer, he couldn't answer unless he agreed to take them to Paris in his high-class box.

Jennifer knew it was not appropriate to make such a request, and O'Gray said that he had gone to Paris with his fiancée, and that it was not appropriate to bring them with him.

Hu Wenkai's mind at this time came up with the scene of Christina and Jennifer lying in the Istanbul train waiting room with their suitcases and their tickets for the next day.

"Bauman, he leaves Istanbul early tomorrow morning, and he has two more days to use in his hotel." Jennifer seemed to know what was going on in O'Gray's head and took the initiative to explain.

He couldn't help but put his mind at ease and said, "Don't think so much, enjoy the drinking party at Pera Palace tonight." ”

"Hmm." Jennifer leaned over softly, and the hand on his right shoulder hooked his neck.

said that enjoying the cocktail party didn't make you enjoy me, Hu Wenkai was in a relaxed mood in an unfamiliar environment, and took her to dance slowly in the direction on the dance floor.

"Ogray, you're handsome and tasteful." Towards the end of the dance music, Jennifer suddenly whispered almost in his ear.

It is no wonder that many people in China in later generations described the European ball as a mate selection venue, and both men and women who met their hearts would speak out bluntly.

Back at their desk, Bowman and Christina had already sat down and drunk, and there were two men and three women standing at the square table, and it seemed that there were no seats for a long time.

Hu Wenkai said casually: "Friend, if you don't mind, you can put it together." ”

As soon as his voice fell, five men and women stretched out their hands as if to introduce their names, but the wine party was too noisy to be heard clearly, Hu Wenkai had to keep shaking hands and nodding.

The waiter appeared quickly, placing five wine glasses on the table, and he added two bottles of red wine.

Broken English became the lingua franca, and it was eventually figured out that it was Austrian, German-speaking Austrians, two couples and a female sister. Christina speaks German very fluently and acts as a translator.

Coincidentally, these two are directors of the Austrian United Steel Group, Hu Wenkai naturally became enthusiastic, and he was going to visit this company when he went to Germany.

Typical of Germanic origin, the woman is well-defined and has blue eyes and curly blond hair. Hu Wenkai beckoned to the waiter and asked the waiter to serve two bottles of brandy and one bottle of vodka. Fruit and pastries fill the small square table.

For his strategy is to make friends first and then talk about business, and then there is nothing to talk about with them, Tianfen's steel entering Europe will inevitably overstock their living space.

Wine is the best catalyst, and a group of people who are obviously very strangers frequently raise their glasses for a while to become familiar with it, Hu Wenkai must be a swinger in their eyes. Who would be so generous to a stranger, and when they knew that Bowman and the two young ladies had just met at noon, and that O'Gray and they had met two or three hours ago, the five of them opened their mouths and let out a sound of surprise.

Mr. O'Gray is in Europe, except for Adele, no one knows his identity, what is Hu Wenkai afraid of, he doesn't care about holding the wine glass and signaling to everyone.

"Life is too short, every inch of time is a precious gift from God, I don't dare to waste time and enjoy every minute of it. Cheers to enjoy! ”

Unexpectedly, a swinger said such a thing, and the Austrians had to echo him, raising their glasses and taking a sip.

The advantage of being close to the sea is that the nights are cool, and the carved windows on the first floor of the Pera Palace Hotel are all opened, and the cool breeze of the strait blows away the turbid air indoors. The crystal chandelier hanging in the center of the reception hall shook slightly, and the rhythmic fast dance music sounded.

They all got up to show off their dance movements, the type of dance music originally came from Vienna, and the Austrians were born waltz dancers.

Christina moved her seat to Hu Wenkai and said, "Ogray, are these Austrians potentially connected to you?" ”

"How so?"

"You're so passionate about strangers, they're husband and wife, not single women like Jennifer and me."

"Christina, I'll tell you a secret."

"Hmm."

"I like married women, and I find it challenging."

Christina had a look of surprise on her face, and immediately realized that it was Ogray who was deliberately teasing her. He rolled his eyes and said, "Do you think I believe it?" You didn't look at their lady with the same lustful eyes I did. ”

"Christina, I'm obsessed with you?"

"Anyway, I think it's a lust fan looking at me." Christina laughed, and thought to herself that you should only tease me, but I could not tease you.

Hu Wenkai picked up a glass of wine from the square table and handed it to Christina, picked up a glass himself, and the two wine glasses touched.

Hu Wenkai looked at Christina's black eyes with bright light with a look of affection, staring at her aggressively and motionlessly.

Christina didn't dare to show weakness at first, her eyes did not retreat at all, and she met Ogray's eyes, Ogray's body slowly approached her, and as her body got closer, she realized that the eyes were so crazy that they almost swallowed her in.

She was timid, but she also retreated, her eyes drooped, and she raised the wine glass in her hand and took a sip gently.

"Christina, this is what the lust fan is looking at you." Deep French rings in my ears. Her body softened involuntarily, her face flushed, and she responded in a panic: "Well, I know." ”

This O'Gray was so invasive, her heart was pounding, and she felt as if it was hanging outside her body and stirring violently.

I don't know if it's the atmosphere or the effect of the wine, Christina feels that she is too frivolous today, and she and Jennifer will find a small hotel to spend the night after eating at the Pera Palace restaurant, but she didn't expect that she would follow Augre to the bar.

Money is no problem, she can send a telegram home to get a traveler's check from the post office, and Jennifer must use a fixed amount of money to travel around Istanbul and take the Orient Express home. She had a bad feeling that she wouldn't sink into O'Gray's arms today, and the thought of it gave her the feeling that she would get up and leave here at once.

When the dance was over, the people returned to their seats, and Jennifer was unhappy that Bowman had stepped on her foot several times, muttering that Bowman was clumsy in dancing. Christina kept giving Jennifer a look, meaning it was time to go.

"Christina, if you don't dance to the last song tonight, I won't be willing to leave." Jennifer held a lady's cigarette between her fingers, and Bowman diligently lit it for her.

The lady's sister seemed to translate Jennifer's words into German.

The two ladies said to Christina that the ball had just begun, and that this ball was a prelude to the departure of the Orient Express, and that they had also come inexplicably, the Orient Express tomorrow afternoon.

Christina said they didn't have tickets, and that O'Gray had tickets for tomorrow's premium carriage, but that he would ride the train with his fiancée.

Under the persuasion of these two ladies, Christina did not insist on the idea of leaving, and Anxin picked up a cigarette, and the man opposite immediately took out a lighter to help her light it.

Eight people actually chatted in different tones, and the lady's sister was called Helenie, who had the muscular body of a later tennis player, and had fiery red curly hair.

She asked about Hu Wenkai's profession, and there was no need to talk nonsense about the profession Hu Wenkai.

"Miss Helenie, I have a business that overlaps with your family, steel."

Helenie looked at him in surprise and quickly turned back to the two men in German.

He took the cigarette out of his pocket and handed it to the two Austrians, who glanced at the cigarette and uttered the strange pronunciation of the word Tianfen in his mouth.

Hu Wenkai nodded with a smile, and the two men opposite immediately stood up and stretched out their hands as if they wanted to get to know Hu Wenkai again.

Hu Wenkai had to get up and shake hands, and said to Helenie that I will visit your company in a month, and I will ask the European office to send a letter to the past, and dance and drink to the bar tonight.

Hearing Hu Wenkai say this, the two of them showed a radiant brilliance on their faces, nodded and sat down quickly, thinking that there will be time for the same train tomorrow.
