Liao's exquisite luncheon in the hall on the first floor of the small western-style building is about to begin. Xiaolong's charming Ye Qing, the youthful and beautiful and energetic Ye Zixin chatted happily with Zhou Chong'an and Zhang Xi who came happily, and asked from time to time where did the beautiful dishes on the table come from?

Zhang Xi's beautiful wife Sharapova introduced them one by one very thoughtfully, and her Chinese became more and more proficient and fluent, and Gong Qian and others felt fresh. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Info also admires Sharapova's intelligence, when she learned that Sharapova was the American chairman of the Oriental News Agency, Gong Qian and Ye Qing glanced at each other, immediately understood the mystery, and looked at An Yi who was chatting with Zhou Chongan and Zhang Xi in a low voice.

Chu Er, who was sitting between the petite and touching little nurse Mai and An Yi, was very worried, and felt very uncomfortable when she saw that everyone was chatting with each other, but no one was talking to her.

Mai, who has a pretty duck egg face, is quite restrained, but she is afraid that Chu'er, who is the hostess, will be left out in the cold, so she has the courage to quietly introduce Zhang Xi's wife Sharapova to Chu'er, and tell Chu'er, this white-Russian beauty with golden eyes and charm, is now the administrative vice president of the medical school and a professor of foreign languages at the Polytechnic University.

Chu'er has gotten used to a lot of things in the past few days. An Yi can sit up and let the nurses eat with him, and there is no condescension. Not to mention the slightest general's shelf, every time they were invited to eat together, Wheat and the others felt very happy, they talked to each other easily and equally, and discussed many issues, but there were too many guests today, and Wheat felt a little restrained, and Chu Er was not very comfortable in his heart.

Shen Fengdao came behind An Yi and approached to report in a low voice: "That Wen Gongzi went back to the Jiangnan Hotel in Hudong to change into a white suit, and rushed to see him with a large handful of roses. ”

Zhou Chong'an and Zhang Xi, who had already learned what had happened in the morning, stopped talking, and all looked at An Yi and grinned, An Yi shook his head helplessly, and commanded in a low voice: "That's it, if you refuse him to come in again, I don't know how to make a fuss and invite him in, I also want to meet this guy." ”

The orderly quietly added a chair under the long table in the direction of Zhang Yi, and neatly placed the dishes, chopsticks, knives and forks for the guests to choose freely. Tall, handsome, fair-skinned, and personable, Paul Wen quickly entered the door, glanced around excitedly, and his blazing eyes immediately stayed on Chu Er's stunned face.

Some of the people were surprised, some smiled, and some were full of doubts, and they all looked at this persistent guest. An Yi waited calmly with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and the spacious hall where Wang Cai was still whispering and bursting with chuckles suddenly became very quiet.

WinPaul seems to have remembered social etiquette. Awkwardly withdrew his gaze from Chu Er's face, held a large handful of roses, bowed to everyone very politely, and quickly said apologies and greetings in English:

"Ladies and gentlemen, please forgive me for taking the liberty of taking the plunge, it is a great honor to meet you in this quiet and beautiful place!

I, Paul Wen, a Chinese-American, is a good friend of Miss Ou, although there was some unpleasantness in the sunny morning, but it did not affect my respect for you and my love for the small and beautiful place of old Nanchang, the misunderstanding in the morning is just one,, x Bu episode, right! A small episode. ”

Zhou Chongan and Zhang Xi glanced at each other, and then looked at Ou Chuer, who was full of embarrassment, and stood up politely, welcoming Paul Wen in proficient English. Ding told him not to be restrained.

Wen Paul thanked him and sat down happily, and when he wanted to pick up the knife and fork, he suddenly saw that the ladies were still all standing politely, and hurriedly stood up again, apologized and begged everyone to sit down. Under embarrassment, he suddenly remembered the roses in his arms, and hurriedly walked to Chu Er, who was on An Yi's right, and offered his courtesy in English:

"Chu'er, it's for you, it's beautiful, right? I really didn't expect that there are such beautiful and precious flower varieties in the backward places of the old Nanchang, but unfortunately the supply of the quantity is too small, and the roses in the flower shop opposite the hotel were bought by me alone. To give! Chu'er, you are 10,000 times more beautiful than this delicate rose! ”

"Thank you! But Paul, don't you think it's boring to do that? Chu Er was quite panicked and annoyed and took a large handful of roses, turned around and handed them to the orderly behind her.

Wen Paul hurriedly caught up with the orderly, snatched the roses, looked around, and personally inserted the blooming roses into the beautiful white porcelain vase, holding the vase and carefully placing it on the low cabinet against the wall behind Chu Er, and fiddling with it very preciously. Only then did he return to Chu'er's side and whispered a long string of English to Chu'er, who had already sat down:

"I know that I can't tell you that you are a little unaccustomed to it for a while, and I also know that my sudden appearance has offended the young general next to you who holds heavy troops and kills people without blinking, but I can't suppress the longing for you in my heart, and I can't bear the pain of not seeing you every day, I'm sorry!

I shouldn't have said so many feelings in my heart in front of so many people, please forgive me for being abrupt, forgive a *** heart that can't control itself like a volcano"

"Shut up, Paul! If you still respect me and all your friends here, please sit down quietly for lunch, or you may leave and go back to where you ought to be, and wait to see my father in the evening. Chu'er glared at Paul Wen angrily.

Wen Baoli smiled, turned to his seat in the smiling eyes of everyone, and muttered as he sat down:

Fortunately, most of the people here couldn't understand English, but fortunately, Chu'er was so frightened that she looked at An Yi, who shook her head frequently. Under the shame, he could no longer hold back the embarrassment and anger in his heart, and said loudly to Paul Wen, who was smiling and complacently wrapping a napkin:

"Paul, your actions and words make me ashamed of you! You're too self-conscious to go, and you're "Okay, I'll give you a detailed explanation:

This Miss Gong is General An's sister. She is the director of the Central Party Department of the National Government, and although she is tolerant and kind, and does not accuse you, she knows exactly what you are talking about; These two are Ye Qing and Miss Ye Zixin, who have been studying in the girls' school run by the Shanghai Church since childhood, and Ye Ziliang, the younger brother of Sister Ye Qing and Sister Zixin's sister, is your classmate at Harvard Business School; Mr. Zhang Xi, the chief financial officer of this southern conglomerate, has a double bachelor's degree and a master's degree in finance from the University of Michigan, and his wife, Miss Sharapova, is a Russian-American, born into a Russian aristocratic family that moved to the United States, and is fluent in her native language, German, French and English, and is now the chairman of China's most famous Oriental News Agency; This is Mr. Zhou Chong'an, a doctor of economics who first came to the UK and then returned to France to study, the president of Jiangnan Enterprise Group, "proficient in English, German, French and other four Chinese; Even my fiancé An Yi X Xiao communicates in English, although he is now sick in bed. But I have been insisting on reading Clausewitz's English version of "On War" and Lesnov's "Theory of the Social Contract", understand? Your attitude is very rude, and I am ...... for your words and deeds Feel ashamed. ”

"Ahh This Wen Paul opened his eyes, looked at this in disbelief, looked at that line" A white face suddenly turned red: "I'm sorry! I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, I"

"It's all right, Mr. WinPaul Win, no one will blame you for that."

An Yi waved his hand, turned to Chu'er after finishing in English, and then whispered in Chinese that everyone could understand: "It's okay Chu'er, Mr. Wen is much better than the fake foreign devils I saw before." Don't be angry, Zhang grew up in a different environment, different living habits, disagreement is inevitable, let's eat. ”

Ye Qing and Gong Qian also whispered to comfort Chu'er, and Zhang Xi, who was kind by nature, whispered a few words to Paul Wen, who was closest to him, which immediately made Paul Wen relax a lot, and he stood up and apologized sincerely to everyone. After that, sit down respectfully and prepare for the meal. Before lowering his head, he didn't forget to quietly glance at Chu'er.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little embarrassing, Zhou Chongan quickly turned the topic to Ye Qing and asked Ye Qing why he had never mentioned that he had a younger brother studying in the United States before? Ye Qing smiled and told everyone some interesting things about his younger brother, and the atmosphere in the banquet quickly became relaxed and lively.

Paul Wen was full of praise for the food on the table, saying that he was born and raised in the United States and had never eaten such good food. Sharapova smiled and told him politely. Every dish on this table is delivered by the best restaurant in Lao Nanchang, and even this morally smoked ham is made by the German-Jewish chef of Lao Nanchang Western Restaurant, which of course tastes good.

The lunch ended like this, everyone drank afternoon tea and finished using up the fruit under the big camphor tree at the edge of the garden, Gong Qian and Ye Qing said goodbye and returned to Nanchang on business, although Ye Zixin was reluctant but was forcibly pulled by her sister. Zhou Chongan asked Ming Gong Qian and the others if it was the passenger ship the next morning, and suggested that everyone go together, and he also went to Nanjing and Shanghai to do some business.

Paul Wen pestered Zhang Xi and his wife, who were friendly to him, to ask this and that, and sighed and said that he could never have imagined that Old Nanchang was so prosperous and inhabited by so many people, which was not much inferior to Shanghai.

Chu Er supported An Yi and sent everyone to the gate of the garden, Gong Qian and the others said goodbye, and got into the car to see them off and left, leaving only Wen Paul standing at the garden gate alone, staring at the troubled beautiful Chu Er, her lips kept squirming, as if she had a thousand words to confess to Chu Er.

"Chu'er, you send Mr. Wen, he is going to do something incredible. This person who grew up in a foreign country is just different from us! An Yi whispered in a joking tone.

Chu'er bit her lip and nodded silently. told Wheat to help An Yi go upstairs to rest, strode up to Paul Wen and scolded angrily: "You cheeky guy, don't get out of here!" ”

Paul Wen was overjoyed, quickly flicked his shiny head, and bent down to salute:

"Thank you to my goddess, please" The dog can't spit out ivory in his mouth, go! ”

Chu'er walked to the front angrily, and Wen Paul couldn't help but follow quickly, dancing beside Chu'er, explaining something in a loud voice.

Shen Fengdao whispered to Mai to go back first. Holding An Yi's hand and walking back slowly: "Xiao Yi, you have to be good at this, and a woman's ears are soft." ”

"Lao Shen, don't talk about me, you should find someone too, do you really plan to be single for the rest of your life?" An Yi avoided his question and asked with a low smile.

Shen Fengdao shook his head slightly: "Foolish brother's life is like this, let it be." ”

"Go with the flow? Again, in many cases, going with the flow is the best way to cope. ”

An Yi let out a long sigh and looked back at the figures of Ou Chuer and Wen Paul who disappeared at the corner of the street. I felt a pang of trouble in my heart for no reason, and only after calming down my mood did I whisper:

"Inform Jinan, Xie Chi, Remembrance, Lao Yang, Huanqi, and Xia Jian that they will have a meeting tonight, and we will go back to Nanjing in a few days.

In addition, the matter of selecting and recruiting Ze electricians should be paid close attention to, and Du Yi should be called in, and from now on, we will start to set up the third intelligence group, and try to break the radio signals flying all over the sky, and strengthen this technical force is an important issue to be solved in our current letter, and it cannot be delayed any longer. ”

"Understood!"

In the early morning of the next day, the blue passenger ferry bound for Shanghai slowly left the Changbei Wharf, Gong Qian and Ye Qing waved politely to the Jiangxi Provincial Party officials who saw off the wharf, and the boat went out for several miles, and suddenly it rained continuously, accompanied by Zhou Chongan and others hurriedly invited Gong Qian to their own box to drink tea, Gong Qian and Ye Qing readily agreed, joking that only rich people like Zhou Chongan can enjoy the spacious and luxurious box, Zhou Chongan quickly explained that only the new passenger ferry of his Jiangnan Group Water Transport Company has such a comfortable box, If only two months ago, it would have been enough.

Ye Qing walked halfway and didn't see his sister Zixin coming, so he hurriedly told Zhou Chongan and Gong Qian to call Zixin to arrive.

Ye Zixin stood silently on the second deck of the ship, looking at the already misty Nanchang City from the railing. Let the drizzle wet and flow down, and his eyes are full of sadness and reluctance.

"Go back quickly, or you'll get soaked."

Ye Qing hugged her sister and wiped the water droplets from her face, and was startled when she saw the crystal tears welling up in her eyes: "Isn't the net okay?" Could it be that this misty and rainy Poyang Lake makes you suddenly sad? ”

Ye Zixin's tears poured out, threw herself into Ye Qing's arms, and hugged her tightly: "Sister, I'm in love with An Yi!" I didn't know that I loved him so much, he was a great man, sister, Ou Chuer and that two devil madman treated him like that. He didn't blame him at all, he was so broad and so great, "Sister, he is the person my sister has pursued all her life!" Woo."

"What?"

Ye Qing was so frightened that he screamed, looking at his sister who was crying in his arms. Ye Qing suddenly felt a burst of dizziness, and two tears slipped silently from her apricot eyes looking up at the vast sky, flowing down her smooth face and flowing all the way to her slender neck."
