As soon as Mitsui Shou's carriage came out of the Xiao Mansion, Jiro Suzuki couldn't help but say: "Mitsui-kun, this matter has finally succeeded, this is a big business, the amount of the first few installments will definitely exceed 10 million taels, and the two of us will also be promoted because of this merit, should we celebrate in advance now?" ”

"Hahaha, of course, of course we have to celebrate, we won't get drunk tonight, where do you say we're going to celebrate?" Mitsui Shou laughed, and the smug expression on his face was revealed.

When it comes to eating, drinking, and having fun, among the Japanese in Shanghai, Jiro Suzuki is a well-deserved leader, he thought for a while and said: "Mitsui-kun, I heard that the dance hall of the Huizhong Hotel has recently brought a lot of beautiful Dihua girls, and there are Dihua girls from all over the world, which is very charming, why don't we go there?" ”

"Yo Si! Let's go to Huizhong Hotel! Mitsui Shou agreed, and at the same time said to the driver of the car: "You drop, drive to the Huizhong Hotel!" ”

"Hey!"

When Xiao Zhenlei came out of the western-style building, he changed into a black suit, with a black top hat and tie, at this time, Mitsui Shou and Suzuki Jiro's carriage was not far from Xiao Gongyuan, he immediately got into the carriage and said to Goudan: "Dog, follow the carriage in front!" ”

"Yes, sir, sit tight!" As soon as the dog agreed, he drove the carriage to the gate of the yard, and Zhou Chuandong, who was at the door, immediately opened the gate of the yard.

"Sir, do you want to ask Opiin to come along?" Zhou Chuandong shouted.

"No need!"

The new building of the Huizhong Hotel was completed and opened to the public only last year, because it is wide from east to west and narrow from north to south, so its main entrance is located on Nanjing Road, and the side by the river beach has become a side entrance. The new building was designed by Shi Gaota, an engineer of Xiangtai & Co. Wang Fa Kee Construction Factory was undertaken, and at that time, the Ministry of Public Concession Bureau was skeptical that the Chinese could do such a project, and the license was delayed. In the end, Wang Faji's boss asked Yang Sisheng to guarantee the project.

The new building is 30 meters high. The six-storey brick and wood structure has a Renaissance architectural style. The exterior wall is made of white bricks, inlaid with red bricks as the waistline. Doors and windows have rounded arches and flat arches. The main entrance is a turnstile door. There is a garden on the roof, and a baroque pavilion is built on the east and west sides of the garden, and you can sit in the pavilion on the east side and watch the tide of the Huangpu River in summer and autumn. The pavilion is connected to a semicircular wall at the northeast corner of the building. It makes the building look more upright and luxurious. On the ground floor is a large dining room that can accommodate more than 300 people at the same time. The hall is surrounded by teak wood parapets and a flat ceiling decorated with plaster carvings. In normal times, the hall is isolated by a screen, and the screen is removed to form a large auditorium, which can be used for large gatherings. There is a band that can also be used as a dance hall, and in order to compete for business with the Licha Hotel, the Huizhong Hotel also has to get some beautiful women from all over the world to accompany the dance.

The carriage had stopped for a while on the side of the road diagonally opposite the Huizhong Hotel, Xiao Zhenlei sat in the carriage and lifted the curtain to watch Mitsui Shou and Suzuki Jiro enter the hotel, he jumped down from the carriage and said to the dog: "Just wait for me here, don't go far!" ”

"Yes, sir!"

Xiao Zhenlei walked towards the Huizhong Hotel and sorted out the suit on his body. Thinking about how to take away the copy of the document in the briefcase in Mitsui Shou's hand, he is not a professional spy and thief, this kind of thing is a bit difficult for him.

Walk to the door of Huizhong Hotel. The two doormen bent down to salute, and Xiao Zhenlei followed the revolving door into the hotel, reaching out and pulling the brim of the black top hat down so as not to be inadvertently seen by Mitsui Shou and Suzuki Jiro.

Xiao Zhenlei walked towards the ballroom, which was surrounded by some screens, and some tables and chairs were placed around the screens. This is a private seat for guests who are tired of jumping to sit and rest. You can also order some snacks and drinks,

Xiao Zhenlei stood at the mouth of the screen. He was tall, his head just above the height of the screen to see the ballroom. A gramophone loudspeaker in one corner of the ballroom is playing ballroom dance music in English, some men and women hugging each other and slowly twisting their bodies, and the surrounding tables and chairs are full of guests, men and women, women are East Asian women, and Western women are wearing cheongsam, kimono, and Korean costumes, and Western women are wearing various colors of thin-waisted and open-breasted court dresses. Xiao Zhenlei knew at a glance that these people were dancing girls, they were wearing makeup on their faces, and Jiro Suzuki and Mitsui Shou had just found a place to sit down and ask for a bottle of wine, and their two or four bodyguards were standing behind them.

Xiao Zhenlei thought about how to get that copy of the text in his hands, and only by getting the copy back of the text would Mitsui Shou and Suzuki Jiro have no handle to threaten him. His eyes kept looking at the situation in the dance hall, and suddenly he felt a gaze look over, his gaze went up, that gaze came from a foreign woman, what surprised him was that the foreign woman was actually very beautiful, he moved in his heart, and thought about it, so he hooked his finger to the Western beauty, the woman was stunned, and then smiled and got up and walked out of the surrounding screen and stood in front of Xiao Zhenlei.

"Hello beautiful young lady, it's a pleasure to meet you!" Xiao Zhenlei smiled and made a gentleman's salute and said in English.

This Western beauty was a little dazed, and muttered a word in her mouth, Xiao Zhenlei was suddenly stunned when she heard it, and immediately changed to German: "It turns out that Miss you are German, what a blessing!" ”

The Western beauty did not expect to meet a German-speaking Chinese here, and was a little happy and asked: "Demar, my name is Demar, what do you call it, sir?" Is there anything you want me to do? ”

Xiao Zhenlei smiled: "Yes, Miss Delma, you can call me Lei." I would like to ask you a favor, do you see the two Japanese sitting over there? There are two of the four bodyguards behind him, yes, that's them, there is a briefcase on the table in front of the short man, and there is a kraft paper bag in it, I need it, I want to ask Miss you to do me a favor to get it in your hands and give it to me, of course I will pay a price that satisfies you! ”

Hearing this, Delma's face turned pale instantly, and he hurriedly shook his hand and said: "Oh, sir, no, I can't do this kind of thing, and I can't do it, you know that I only came to this Far Eastern city from Germany this morning, I am completely unfamiliar with this place, if I am caught, I will be killed by them!" ”

It turned out to be a chick, I rub! Why is the idea so memorized? Xiao Zhenlei couldn't help but curse secretly in his heart, but since the matter had been told to this woman, this woman couldn't get out of it, he quickly took out a stack of banknotes from his pocket and stuffed them into Delmar's hand and said with a smile: "Look, Miss Delma, aren't you here to make money?" This is half of your payment, as long as you get the text and give it to me, I will pay you another half of the money, do you think it's okay? That's a hundred pounds, the equivalent of more than two thousand German marks, and I think you'd have to work here for a long time to make that much money, don't you? ”

Delmar looked at the money in her hand, she hesitated, she really needed money, otherwise she would not have run from Germany thousands of miles away to the Far East to make money.

When Xiao Zhenlei saw her like this, he knew why she hesitated as soon as his mind turned, and hurriedly said: "Miss Dema, it's actually very simple to get that Wen Jiàn, you just need to dance with him, pour him wine by all means, get him drunk, and then hint that you can sleep with him, he will naturally take you upstairs to open the room, and after he falls asleep, you will open the briefcase and take out the Wen Jiàn, and then go out of the guest room and hand the Wen Jiàn to me, it's as simple as that!" ”

"Is it that simple?" Delmar was a little moved when she heard this, but she was still a little scared, "But what if I get caught?" ”

Xiao Zhenlei hurriedly said: "Don't worry, please rest assured, if you are caught, I will definitely find a way to save you, you see I don't want them to know that I did this, right?" ”

Delma looked at the stack of banknotes she was holding in her hand, which could not be faked, and she hesitated and asked, "Really?" You promise? ”

"Of course, I swear!" Xiao Zhenlei raised his fist and swore solemnly.

"Okay!" Delmar struggled inwardly for a long time, and finally agreed. (To be continued)
