Put on leather shoes and the two walked out of No. 3, Lane 181, Hu Wenkai dragged down the small handbag in Carrota's hand in the alley, took out a stack of banknotes from his pocket and put it in, and said to Carrotta that the suit fits too well, and the banknotes are awkward in the pocket, so I will put them in your handbag for the time being.

She rolled her eyes at him, "You're pretty good at using my bag." Men don't talk to girls, and they don't talk to them.

The two took a rickshaw to the Dachang Hotel on North Sichuan Road, and on the rickshaw, Carrotta had no desire to rest, chattering non-stop about today's ceremony, guests and today's turnover increased sharply, and only when they arrived at North Sichuan Road, they asked the driver to stop at the roadside ice cream shop and buy an ice cream, and ate it in the car and said: "You can't eat, men should pay attention to appearance." ”

"You can eat it, you beware of eating the lipstick, whose money did you pay for it? You won't buy it with my money, will you? ”

"Of course who told you to put it in my bag, ah, don't really eat the lipstick." She scrambled to find the double-sided mirror and looked at her lips.

"Roar! "Hu Wenkai opened his mouth beside him and learned to roar the tiger.

"I'm going to die, I'm scared to death." She put away the mirror, raised her hand and hit Hu Wenkai.

"Wait, Carrotta, reach over and I'll take a look."

"Why, if I don't stretch, you'll play tricks on me."

"Stretch it out and let me see, such a beautiful girl has no ornaments on her hands, it's unreasonable, her hand reaches out and calls brother, I'll lend you something to wear on your hand."

"I don't call it, you're lying to me again."

"Swear to God that you will never lie to Carrotta Piggy"

"If I want to call, you will give it to me, you can't lend it to me"

"Greed, greed is a manifestation of the sinfulness of the soul, well, call it brother"

"Little brother Hu Wenkai," Carotta shyly leaned in his ear and screamed.

"Reach out, close your eyes" Carotta closed her eyes and stretched out her hand, the wind blowing her brown curls and a happy sweet smile on her face.

Hu Wenkai took out the two-carat diamond ring from his trouser pocket and put it on her index finger, Carotta opened her eyes and looked at it and said, "Pig, you are wearing the wrong one, it should be the middle finger." ”

As he spoke, he took off the diamond ring and put it on his middle finger before carefully inspecting the diamond ring.

"Are you engaged? Got a boyfriend? Wear your middle finger. Hu Wenkai teased her

"I don't care I'm going to wear my middle finger, oh my God, is this diamond ring real? It's so big, it's so beautiful," he turned around and kissed the unsuspecting Hu Wenkai on the cheek.

"Ah, lipstick, the diamond ring is a glass fake"

"I don't believe it, Wen Kai, you see the unique design of this diamond ring, a heart rolled up to wrap the diamond. I like it, what you just said was not borrowed. ”

"Okay, you're going to wear it, it's a two-carat diamond ring set in platinum."

"What does this ring mean?" Carrotta asked with a happy grin.

"Love with your heart, and if you are wrong, it is lard that covers your heart. Haha"

"If you're looking for a fight, Hu Wenkai, you can't say something human."

Carrotta happily fiddled with the ring on her middle finger, covering her mouth with her left hand and looking in the mirror. Women are naturally possessive of diamonds, and Carrotta's eyes are radiant. Carrotta suddenly asked, "Hu Wenkai, how many rings do you have?" ”

"What? How many? You think the ring is a cabbage, and this ring is the only one in the world. ”

"Aren't you Chinese men all married to several wives?"

"You're too relatable, and the little girl isn't ashamed."

"Isn't it? Many Chinese men have more than two wives. ”

"You want to kill me, if I marry two wives and don't annoy me to death, a woman is like a duck croaking all day long, and the two of them won't drive me crazy."

"When did I croak?"

"Carrota, you don't want to ......" Hu Wenkai put his head in front of Carrotta.

"Hu Wenkai, you pig! I won't tell you, anyway, I want the ring and count your acquaintance. ”

When the rickshaw arrived at the Dachang Hotel, Hu Wenkai got out of the car and walked to the other side of the car to help Carrotta walk down.

"Go give the money, piggy"

"You have the intention, be the shopkeeper," Carrotta took out the money from her handbag and gave it to the coachman, and then grabbed Hu Wenkai's arm and leaned against his body.

Wang Xihai and Li Congshan were waiting for Hu Wenkai in front of the hotel, and when they saw Hu Wenkai getting out of the car, they hurriedly greeted him, saying that everyone was about to arrive, and Hu Wenkai meant that when the table would start, it could not be postponed or advanced.

Wang Xihai introduced the situation of the box, almost all of the people who came to the table of the French Consulate were ordinary clerks, except for the first secretary Dewey, a table of the Public Board of Directors, a table of the Ministry of Industry, a table of the patrol room, a table of the patrol room in the public concession, a table of the Shanghai banking industry, a table of local Chinese businessmen, a few friends of your friend Chiang Kai-shek and a friend of the manager Ivanov, and a table of the company's middle-level manager, a total of nine boxes.

"Cigars and cigarettes are given to each box for them to choose from, so much money is spent, don't care about the money," Hu Wenkai arranged for Wang Xihai to say

"Ivanov manager has arranged everything, boss".

"You take me to Chiang Kai-shek's box."

Hu Wenkai pushed open the box, walked towards Chiang Kai-shek, and held Chiang Kai-shek's hand.

"Brother Kai-shek, I'm so glad you came"

"Wen Kai, congratulations, today I learned that you have placed such a big business in Shanghai in just a few months."

"Brother Kai-shek has won the award, Wen Kai's life for a year is not as meaningful as Brother Kai-shek's week, Wen Kai envy Brother Kai-shek for having an ideal and ism-based life."

"Haha, I didn't expect Wen Kai's mouth to be able to say so much" Chiang Kai-shek happily patted Hu Wenkai on the shoulder and pulled him to introduce a few people who came together. Chen Guofu, Dai Jitao, Li Hanjun, Shen Xuanlu. The first two Hu Wenkai were too familiar, and the back two were not impressed, he pretended to shake hands one by one with a pious face and said: "Brother Kai-shek, you let Wen Kai see the Chinese elite today, Wen Kai Rongxin." ”

"Everyone, please take a seat, it's Brother Kai-shek's friend and my Wenkai's guest."

Ivanov led Chiang Kai-shek to the guest of honor, and then introduced several Russian guests, all of whom were Ivanov's former friends in the literary and artistic circles. After instructing Wang Xihai to prepare a box of cigars and two bottles of wine gifts for each group, Hu Wenkai successively went to the box of the consulate, the box of the Board of Directors, and the box of the Ministry of Industry to greet him, and the banquet officially began.

After the wine passed thirty years, Hu Wenkai led a group of people into each box to toast one by one, thanking everyone for coming, because it was a toast on the scene, everyone was very casual, and each box had a small glass. The penultimate box is the French Concession patrol room, a group of people from Xingye Industry pushed open the door to toast to them, there are six people at a table who are French patrols and three Chinese, the lights in the private room are very dark under the smoke, Hu Wenkai can't see people clearly, please take care of the polite words, and turn around to leave after toasting.

"That's Boss Hu, can you please stay," a Chinese said.

"Oh? This is," Hu Wenkai asked strangely

A tall, thin man in a long shirt stood up and said, "This is the Chinese patrolling Huang Jinrong, Boss Hu."

"Hello Huang Patrol, what are your orders?"

"The young man sat down and said," said the middle-aged Chinese, who was bare-headed, chubby, and a little charitable.

"No need to sit, I'll just stand here and listen"

"My master, I want to ask your company if the land next to Nanjing Road can be transferred to him, the price is negotiable." Said the tall and thin man

"May I ask who you are?"

"My name is Du Yuesheng, and I am also from the French Concession Patrol House"

Hu Wenkai said: "Fortunately, fortunately, our company is doing business, so it is impossible not to do business."

"That's, that's, business is business, as long as the price is reasonable, my master would love to take that piece of land." Du Yuesheng's eyes stared at Hu Wenkai, and Huang Jinrong sat there silently.

A French patrol next to him said to Huang Jinrong that this Boss Hu had an unusual relationship with the consulate. Huang Jinrong nodded and did not answer.

Hu Wenkai was a little angry, what the hell would he dare to make up his mind in his company.

"Mr. Huang, Mr. Du, I usually don't ask about this transaction, if I ask about everything, I don't have enough time, so please talk to Manager Ivanov directly, I can make the decision and give priority to Mr. Huang at the same price."

Du Yuesheng was about to say something, but Huang Jinrong interrupted him and said: "Boss Hu is polite, you can't force it in business, right, business can't be a friend, let's have a drink."

"OK, Mr. Huang will have a chance to cooperate next time." After Hu Wenkai finished drinking, he led a group of people to the next box.

Du Yuesheng drank a glass of wine and said viciously: "Damn, the surname Hu doesn't know how to lift."

Several French patrolmen said with a smile: "Don't force it, Boss Hu's back is hard, last time you let people smash their company's glass, the public board of directors asked for a thorough inspection of the patrol room, and I almost couldn't pay the difference." ”

Huang Jinrong smiled and said: "You think too much, I just want to ask the price, business is not benevolent." Drink and drink, don't live up to Boss Hu's kindness. ”

The local Chinese businessmen at this table are all young people, probably the children of Chinese businessmen, but they really met an acquaintance, Sheng Enyi, and the two looked at each other and laughed, "It turned out to be you, it was you who bumped into you on the road in the morning" Sheng Enyi said

"Mr. Sheng, thank you for appreciating the light, it's me in the morning, how is Mr. Sheng's luck today?" Hu Wenkai said with a smile.

"Don't mention it, it's a very bad idea these days, and today thousands of oceans are gone, so a few of them called me over to drink and comfort me," Sheng Enyi said, staring at Carrota beside Hu Wenkai.

"There are wins and losses in this thing, and the gods can't stop it when the luck comes up. Mr. Sheng will definitely win next time, and if he wins, he will invite his brother to drink."

"Boss Hu, after all, people who do big business can talk, and Cheng will definitely invite you to drink next time he wins." The loser's eyes never took his eyes off Carrotta.

Hu Wenkai thought that he would not be able to make you feel uncomfortable if he didn't get something from you, so he patted Carrotta's hand and then raised his glass of wine and left the box.

Back in the company's box, Hu Wenkai asked Wang Xihai to go to the staircase to guard, and if the guest left the table, he would be notified as soon as possible, so that he could send the guest off in time. He also asked Schroeder and Ivanov to go to the bank table to accompany the drink, telling them to drink even if they were drunk, and if they wanted to go to the bar company to pay for the banquet in the evening, they should go.

At this time, the Shanghainese were really able to eat, and they couldn't see anyone leave the table for a long time. Hu Wenkai asked Sun Daming to change Wang Xihai back, and he was a little worried that he went to the bathroom to install the m9*. Finally, the people from the consulate began to leave the table, and Hu Wenkai hurriedly went out to see off the guests.

Dewey pulled him aside and said that during this time, Mr. Wilton would host a banquet for him at home, Hu Wenkai thanked him for taking care of the company, and Dewey took his hand and said meaningfully that they also thanked each other for taking care of him. Ivanov, under the instruction of Hu Wenkai, sent a lot of benefits to Dewey.

After someone left the table, the various boxes dispersed one after another, and after Hu Wenkai saw off a few important people, he returned to the box to continue to fill his stomach. Ivanov came in with a red face: "Boss, James invited a group of friends to the bar, Schroeder and me and Wang Xihai all went, you can also go with Carrotta." ”

"Ivanov, you want to drink, you go, Wenkai, we won't go. Ivanov: These people are not good people, and they want to get you drunk every time," Karotta said, glaring at Ivanov.

"You also had a share in the drunken boss last time Carrota, why am I not a good person anymore?" Ivanov lifted the old bottom.

"I'm too tired tonight, Lao Yi, you go and have fun, Wang Xihai won't drink or go together, and send them back at night." Hu Wenkai arranged.
