Chapter 260: Punishment (I)
"Good!
At this time, a compliment came from a table not far from Gu Weijun, Gu Weijun turned his head to look over, and a trace of surprise flashed on his face. I saw that there was only a well-dressed young Chinese sitting on that table, and there were some Chinese side dishes and a pot of white porcelain Luzhou Laojiao on the table, which was particularly eye-catching in a room full of Western dishes. What surprised Gu Weijun the most was that behind the young Chinese stood a foreigner dressed in a manager's costume, whose demeanor was unimaginably respectful.
Gu Weijun has also been in contact with this foreigner in the past few days, and knows that he is the ship's first-class waiter manager, and is proficient in Eastern and Western cultures, can speak Beijing dialect better than most Chinese, and his status on the ship is only a little lower than the captain and first mate. Although this foreigner has a deep affection for the Chinese, he is only a polite friend when he gets along with Gu Weijun, and it is difficult to behave respectfully like the young Chinese in front of him.
These two people are Xu Changqing and Andy, the master and apprentice, originally Xu Changqing didn't want to participate in this kind of dinner dance, but in the end he couldn't stand Andy's persuasion, so he reluctantly participated. After arriving at the ball, Andy really gave him a surprise, not only made a few authentic Fujian side dishes, but also took out a pot of old Luzhou Laojiao, which also made him more satisfied with the new apprentice.
Because Andy has been standing behind Xu Changqing, this makes those foreigners at the dance think that he is a big shot. There was not much contempt in his words and eyes, but more curiosity was revealed, and even more, some foreign merchants who were engaged in oriental trade and noble ladies who were curious about oriental culture also came forward and wanted to make friends with him, so that his treatment at the ball was diametrically opposed to Gu Weijun and others.
Although he was not discriminated against, Xu Changqing could still feel humiliation from Gu Weijun and others, so the expression on his face had always been extremely cold. After that, he also heard the insulting words of the big-nosed foreigner, his brows furrowed slightly, and a trace of unhappiness arose in his heart, but then he heard Gu Weijun's humiliation and burden, which made him frown and nod, and couldn't help but applaud.
At this time, Andy leaned down and told Xu Changqing about Gu Weijun's identity. After Xu Changqing heard this, his face couldn't help but be slightly stunned. He has always paid attention to facts, he naturally knows who Gu Weijun is, and he can overwhelm everyone and become Sun Yat-sen's secretary as soon as he comes back from overseas with his own knowledge alone, from this point of view alone, Gu Weijun is by no means an ordinary person.
"Go and ask him to come over. Seeing such talents, Xu Changqing couldn't help but feel like making friends, so he commanded Andy.
Hearing this, Andy immediately stepped forward to invite him, and it happened that Gu Weijun was also curious about the young Chinese in front of him, and he always felt that this young Chinese seemed to have seen it somewhere, but he couldn't remember it. So he gave an order to the people beside him, and Andy led him, got up and walked towards Xu Changqing.
"Xu Changqing!" Seeing Gu Weijun coming over, Xu Changqing immediately got up and greeted him, stretched out his hand according to the Western handshake salute, and said.
"Gu Weijun!" Gu Weijun was also a simple and direct person, and he shook Xu Changqing's hand very naturally.
Xu Changqing led the people to the seat, then opened the wine jug with his own hands, poured a glass of wine for Gu Weijun, and raised his glass and said: "Mr. Gu's discussion of forbearance and humiliation just now is really admirable, after all, there is no shortage of hot-blooded men who serve the country and the people in my Chinese land, what is really lacking is those talents who have ambitions in their hearts and endure humiliation for the country, Mr. Gu is this kind of talent, please drink this cup to show my respect!"
"I don't deserve Mr. Xu's praise, Gu is ashamed!" Gu Weijun didn't refuse, drank all the wine in the cup, put down the cup, and sat down with Xu Changqing, and asked: "Gu took the liberty of asking, has Mr. Xu ever crossed paths with Gu?
Xu Changqing smiled and said, "Mr. Gu has good eyesight, I did see Mr. Gu when I got on the boat in Hong Kong, but Mr. Gu was surrounded by everyone at that time, I don't know if I have seen Xu?"
"Hong Kong?" Gu Weijun was stunned for a moment, and soon he remembered the figure that made Chen Hui extremely respectful, his expression immediately became very strange, and he tried to ask: "I don't know if Mr. Xu knows Mr. Chen Hui, the Hong Kong head of the Chen family?"
"After seeing Mr. Gu, you really saw me!" Xu Changqing was also stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "I do know Chen Hui, and I am also very familiar with the Chen family." ”
Gu Weijun, who knew the depth of the Chen family, immediately became restrained, and his demeanor also seemed respectful, and he clasped his fists and saluted: "Gu is really eye-catching......
"Mr. Gu doesn't have to be like this. Xu Changqing interrupted Gu Weijun's words and chuckled: "Although I have a very close relationship with the Chen family, and I have also had several relationships with some important members of your Republic of China government, we have our own friends. On this boat, Mr. Gu is okay if I am a patriotic young man, there is no need to use this kind of officialdom etiquette. ”
"Yes, sir. Gu Weijun nodded, and his demeanor became a lot more natural.
Xu Changqing saw that Gu Weijun was relaxed, so he asked some questions about his knowledge, and Gu Weijun also answered freely. After that, Gu Weijun also tried to ask Xu Changqing some current political questions, and at the same time, he was also surprised that Xu Changqing's views on the current political trend were far from being invincible to ordinary people, and they were almost to the point.
So, in this question and answer, the two exchanged each other's ideas as if they had been friends for many years. These two people are also learning things and have different views on many things. Xu Changqing always looks at some problems and events from the perspective of the overall situation as an outsider, and can often accurately find out the main points, but Gu Weijun is used to treating himself as an insider, and the first thing he thinks of is solutions and coping methods. The two have different ways of looking at things, but they can complement each other, which also makes them regard each other as confidants for many years after some conversation.
"Since Brother Xu has such profound knowledge and insights, why don't you use it to serve the country?" Gu Weijun hesitated for a moment and persuaded: "Brother Xu's whole body is the art of heaven and earth, and the country is now lacking talents like Brother Xu, if Brother Xu can join in, it will definitely ......."
"Mr. Gu, don't say it!" Xu Changqing interrupted Gu Weijun's words, sighed softly, drank all the wine in the cup, and said: "If it was more than ten years ago, Xu Mou might still have a passionate pride to change the sky for the sun and the moon, but after so many years of various changes, Xu's blood has long cooled down, and it is no longer possible to do things like you." ”
