Chapter 55: Knowing
When Yan Shao returned to his residence in the carriage, the drunkenness on his body had almost disappeared. If it weren't for the fact that his face was still a little red, no one would even be able to tell that Yan Shao had ever drank.
"I'm finally back..."Getting out of the car, Yan Shao stretched his body. Yan Shao, who was a little uncomfortable because of the bumps in the carriage, suddenly felt much more comfortable. "Let's go, let's go in..."Waving his hand at Huang Hao and them, Yan Shao walked towards the courtyard.
Seeing Yan Shao walk in, Huang Hao hurriedly followed.
Huang Hao was not surprised that Yan Shao was so sober. Because in the past few days, they have been accustomed to seeing Yan Shao get drunk when he got in the car, but when he got out of the car, he was in the same situation as someone who had nothing to do. Of course, there are also curious people who have asked Yan Shao, but Yan Shao's answer is 'I recover relatively quickly', as for whether they believe it or not is another matter.
In the courtyard, several temporarily hired subordinates saw that Yan Shao was back, and hurriedly greeted him.
"Master, you're back..."
"Hmm..."nodded. What about Elaline? β
"The two young ladies are playing chess in the room..."Hearing Yan Shao's question, a teenage girl timidly stood up and replied.
These temporarily hired subordinates only know Yan Shao because this employer is very famous and treats people very kindly, and they don't know much about the others. After all, those novels still don't have Chinese versions, not to mention that even if they do, they may not be able to read them...
"Let's get busy first..."After waving his hand and signaling what they should do, Yan Shao walked to his room and knocked on the door. I'm back..."
When the door opened, there was a chessboard on the table, and there were not a few pieces left on the chessboard, and it looked as if a fierce battle had just taken place.
On the seat, Eleno and Caterina were arranging the chessboard with their jade fingers as thin as green onions, and when they saw that Yan Shao was back, they hurriedly put down the chess pieces.
"You're backβ" Holding a wet towel that had been prepared for a long time, Elano greeted him gently.
Although Katerina's expression on the side was still cold, she also walked over with a glass of juice.
Drinking all the juice in the cup, Yan Shao breathed a sigh of relief, after drinking the wine for a day, he had long wanted to remove the taste of wine from his mouth.
Putting the cup on the table, Yan Shao wiped his face with a wet towel.
At this time, the two people who were about to come over with a basin of water, their beautiful noses sniffed slightly, as if they had smelled something. After frowning and thinking for a moment, the faces of the two suddenly became ugly.
Handing the towel to Katarina, Elano put her face in front of Yan Shao, and her originally gentle smile became dangerous. "Is there anything you want to tell us..."
Standing aside, Katerina's expression was also like ice, but she didn't take out the dagger as usualββββββ that kind of thing would be taken once in a while, and it would be no deterrent if it was taken too often. So she just twisted the towel in her hand into a ball and shook it at the air beside her.
'Crackle'
I don't know how she used it, and there was a sound of a towel being thrown out of the whip by her.
In such a scene, not to mention that Yan Shao's wine was almost awake, even if he didn't wake up, he would be scared to wake up. Taking two steps back, Yan Shao swore to the sky. "No, really, I really didn't do anything!"
The conscience of heaven and earth, this is definitely the most real truth he has said in his life...
"Really?" Both had skeptical expressions on their faces.
From Yan Shao's body, the two of them can smell a very strong perfume smell, and it is the kind that only women will use.
The towel in Katerina's hand turned into rags, and Elanon's eyes narrowed dangerously.
Seeing that the two seemed to be really angry, Yan Shao, who knew very well that he was not their opponent, could only choose to confess and be lenient.
"Well, I did go to Qingdao with that Japanese...... Calm, calm!! Seeing that Caterina found a towel again, and Elaline on the other side also rolled up her sleeves, Yan Shao explained loudly while panicking. I've been to the Qinglou, but I really haven't done anything..."
Hearing Yan Shao say this, the two of them, who were still pressing step by step, finally stopped, but Katerina still snorted disdainfully. "The devil believes you..."
Elaline on the side was also full of disbelief, because both of them knew very well that Yan Shao was by no means a strong-willed person. Don't look at the beautiful words he usually says, if there is really meat to his mouth, it is absolutely impossible for him not to eat it...
"You believe me..."Seeing that the two still didn't believe it, Yan Shao shouted injustice. Think about it, where do you have the spare energy to mess with flowers and grass in me, I just have never been to the Qinglou, and I am curious, so I will follow the Japanese to see it, if you don't believe it, you can ask Huang Hao, I really didn't do anything..."
At this time, Yan Shao couldn't tell the two of them that the girl in the Qinglou was too inferior, so he couldn't avoid it, so he could hold it. If that's the case, he'll be dead today...
"Huang Hao..."Elaline pursed his lips and said with some annoyance. You men are all a nest of snakes and rats, a raccoon dog, and you can believe what he says...", but these words angered Taris, who was far away in Marseille.
When she was in Marseille, Taris said that she wanted to teach Yan Shao a lesson for Elaine, although she tried her best to stop it, but she never thought of letting Taris vent for her. Who would have thought that not long after, Tharis actually forgave Yan Shao, the reason was that there was mutual understanding between men, which made her feel bitter in her heart...
Anyway, even if there was still a look of disdain on their faces, after listening to Yan Shao's words, the faces of the two of them softened somewhat.
Seeing that the faces of the two softened a little, Yan Shao hurriedly leaned closer to the two of them.
"Otherwise, I'll prove it to you..."
"Proof?" The two of them were a little strange how to prove this kind of thing, so they couldn't take them to the Qinglou to ask, but before the two of them could ask Yan Shao how they planned to prove it, with a low shout, Yan Shao had already thrown the two of them to the floor.
A few hours later, the two sweaty people collapsed on Yan Shao's body, as if they had no bones. And Yan Shao, who was hugged tightly by the two, was sweating profusely while enjoying the blessings of all people, looking more tired than them...

At Jardine Matheson, the assistant manager was reporting to Harrison what he had just arrived.
"Just now our people reported that the Japanese from Mitsui and the Chinese surnamed Yan went to Yixianglou and did not come out of it until very late. And our people clearly saw that the Chinese surnamed Yan was helped into the carriage by the Japanese after getting drunk..." said the assistant manager, whose face showed a trace of worry. "Manager, if this continues, I'm afraid the situation will be unfavorable to us..."
"yes," the other assistant manager nodded. The current situation is obviously that the Chinese have colluded with the Japanese, and maybe our bids have been sent to the Japanese by the Chinese..."
Stroking his forehead, Harrison also felt a little headache.
Because Yan Shao never concealed his whereabouts, all foreign companies in Shanghai soon learned about the close contacts between Yan Shao and Mitsui in recent times.
At the beginning, some foreign companies didn't believe it very much, after all, even if they wanted to 'collude', they didn't do it so obviously. However, when they sent people to investigate, they found that Yan Shao would go out with Yamamoto Jotaro to drink and have fun almost every day, so a saying began to circulate among foreign companies, that is, Yan Shao had already negotiated with the Japanese, and they were only busy with a short time after they were busy going to the very end...
By the way, this statement is very marketable among foreign companies.
"Hmph, I think it must be that the Japanese know that they can't compete with us, so they will run over to curry favor with that Chinese, and then engage in some behind-the-scenes deals..." The first deputy manager spoke, his tone somewhat indignant when he spoke.
"That's right." The other nodded. "These damn yellow-skinned monkeys would use such despicable means in order to get business!"
It's no wonder they are in such a hurry, because the order from the Hong Kong headquarters is to win this business, if they can't get it, even if they won't be removed, it is estimated that they will not have any future in the foreign bank in the future.
Originally, in Shanghai, Jardine Matheson is the most powerful foreign firm, and it is also the most likely to win the bid, so naturally there is no need to worry too much. Now that the Japanese have actually used this means to snatch business from them, they are naturally anxious.
It's not that they haven't thought of using the same method to curry favor with Yan Shao, but they don't know what's going on, Yan Shao only agreed to Mitsui's invitation, but rejected all the invitations of other foreign firms, so that other foreign firms didn't even have a chance to curry favor with Yan Shao.
This kind of favoritism makes other foreign companies very strange, and at most he can only think that it is because the Japanese are of the same race as him that he will look at Mitsui and foreign companies differently, and even Yamamoto Jotaro himself thinks so.
So of course, Mitsui & Co. became the object of hatred of other foreign firms. After all, if you compete fairly, it doesn't matter, and if someone uses this method to steal business, other foreign companies really can't swallow this breathββββββ although they actually want to do it too.
On the other hand, while having a headache, Harrison always felt that this matter was not so simple.
"That Yan Shao, would he really easily hand over such a project that is very important to him to another foreign company because of the same race or deliberate flattery..."
Thinking back to his contact with Yan Shao in recent days, Harrison always felt that something was wrong.
"In any case, this business must not be given to the Japanese..."Thinking of this, Harrison clenched his fists.
