Chapter 32: Attending the Banquet (2)

  Wang Changhu walked into the gate of the Young Marshal's mansion, looked around and saw that the surroundings were brightly lit, with many people already arrived, chatting with acquaintances in the courtyard. Wang Changhu turned around and, seeing no familiar faces, headed straight for the center of this banquet - the Grand Qing Building.

  The Grand Green House was a three-story Romanesque-style green-brick building constructed between 1918 and 1922, with an observation deck on top and a basement below, covering an area of 2561 square meters. In 1922, Zhang Zuolin moved into the building to work; in 1928, Zhang Xueliang took office in Northeast China and worked in this building, with the first floor having offices for the Northeastern government officials, reception halls, banquet halls, secretarial departments, etc.; the second floor was Zhang Xueliang's office.

  Wang Changhu had some understanding of the Daqing Building, and in that world, Shenyang didn't go there less often. In his spare time, he strolled around many scenic spots in Shenyang; at that time, what he did was not a good thing, so he was very enthusiastic about Guan Gong's protection, so he also worshiped several times at the Guandi Temple of Shaofu Mansion, whether it was effective or not, but at least there was a spiritual sustenance.

  No one led the way, and a group of people quickly arrived at the banquet hall. At this time, many Americans were already standing inside the banquet hall, chatting with each other; Zhao Yu, Xu Yingfa, and Hua Fuer looked at the Americans with eyes shining blue light, and said to Wang Changhu: "Boss, can we slip away?"

  Wang Changhu nodded, and the three of them pounced on the American like wolves on a sheep.

  At this time, Huang Yihu was also anxious and scratched his ears, saying: "Boss, I want to go over there and take a look?"

  Wang Changhu took a look and saw that the dinner table was set up on the other side, and dishes were being served. Wang Changhu understood that tonight's banquet was similar to a cocktail party, very Westernized; he was afraid that Huang Yitao would make a fool of himself, so he said to Hu Jingzhong and Huang Yifei: "You two accompany him, don't cause any trouble."

  The three of them and Wang Changhu bowed and rushed towards the dinner table.

  By King's side were only Liu sisters and Officer Liu. At this time, Officer Liu said to Wang Changhu: "Tiger, you seem to have been here before?"

  Wang Changhu smiled and said: "Of course, don't you know what I do?"

  "Ah, I see! Old age is catching up with me; almost forgot!"

  Liu Xinyi and Liu Xinyu snuggled up to Wang Changhu like little birds, many perverts who passed by looked at the pair of twin sisters clinging to Wang Changhu's side, envying him to death. Every man who passed by Wang Changhu's side had his fists clenched tightly, with the same thought in mind: The two girls are not bad, unfortunately, one is already taken, if I were a pig, I would also want to get my hooves on these two white cabbages...

  Many people wanted to come up and greet him, but when they saw Wang Changhu's military rank, no one dared to move: a teenager with the shoulder badge of a senior colonel, who would dare to move? Maybe in a few years, he will be another young marshal-level figure, with a deep family background!

  At this time, the voice of the guard's announcement came from the entrance of the banquet hall: "The young marshal has arrived..."

  All eyes were focused on the entrance of the banquet hall: Shao Shuai walked in wearing a military uniform, followed by several Americans; he waved to everyone and walked to the center of the room, saying: "Today I'm hosting this banquet for my friends who are about to return to the United States. I hope our friends can leave China with beautiful memories in their hearts. At the same time, I'd like to introduce two good sisters I've just met, and he beckoned to the Liu sisters, who exchanged a glance with Wang Changhu, nodded, and walked hand in hand towards Shao Shuai. What surprised Wang Changhu was that Captain Liu also followed and stood behind Shao Shuai;

  "General Shao arranged the two girls on either side of him and said: "This smiling sister is Liu Xinyu, she's my older sister; while this shyly smiling sister is Liu Xinyi. Both are the granddaughters of General Liu Amin, our Northeastern Army instructor, and also my adopted younger sisters. I hope everyone will take care of them in the future. Thank you all."

  The young marshal nodded to everyone and thanked them in advance. At this time, Instructor Liu said a lot of words that surprised Wang Changhu and the young marshal greatly.

  Officer Liu said: "I am Liu Ahmin, these two are my granddaughters, still in the boudoir. If any hero wants to make an appointment, one person at a time, pay me 100 yuan; if going out for dinner, one person at a time, pay me 500 yuan. Those who are interested please come and sign up quickly!"

  Wang Changhu was about to get angry, but he thought for a moment and smiled. He patted his chest to signal the two women, who were already in tears, to calm down.

  The young general didn't know what was going on and asked: "Liu Shu, what are you doing? Are you trying to get yourself killed by that furious tiger?"

  Officer Liu said with a sad face: "I have no choice, since you last called me and took away two trucks of gold, I owed Wang Changtiger two trucks of gold, this is also my helplessness!"

  The young marshal said "oh" and said: "I'll go talk to him, let him cancel your debt."

  Liu instructor suddenly pulled the young marshal and said: "Don't go! If you go, this little scoundrel may come up with another trick to deal with me, this time I admit it."

  "Then can you still get up?"

  "Nothing's wrong," said Instructor Liu with a sly smile. "The wool is still on the sheep."

  Young General pointed with his hand and said to Liu: "Indeed a veteran of many battles, high, really high!"

  At this time, an American behind the young marshal was very interested in Captain Liu's words and asked: "Young Marshal, I would like to talk to the Hu Zi you mentioned?"

  Young Master turned his head and said, "What's this, Mr. Smith is also interested in my subordinates?"

  "Smith said, 'I'm a businessman, only interested in money. In a foreign land, I met an officer who shared the same hobby. To be honest, I'm really interested in him. Trouble Lieutenant to introduce me.'"

  "Mr. Smith, if you were to meet Wang Changhu, I'm not sure if the world would still be at peace, because the feeling you give me is the same as his - you're both reckless and daring individuals, and your combination will shock the world."

  Smith exclaimed "Oh!" and said: "Then I'm even more interested in Wang Changhu, I really want to get to know him, thank you, General."

  The young general helplessly shook his head and said: "Alright, follow me."

  Shao Sui took a step forward, and many young men immediately came to Liu's side, holding checks in their hands.

  "I want to make an appointment with Ms. Liu Xinyi for one hour," one said.

  "I'd like to invite Miss Liu Xinyu out for dinner three times." Another one said.

  "I've reserved both ladies." A loud voice shouted while holding a check for 10,000 yuan.

  ………

  Officer Liu was extremely busy and said to the Liu sisters: "Hurry up and come over to collect the money, you two are a waste of money!"

  The two sisters ignored him and walked directly towards Wang Changhu.

  "Officer Liu shouted: 'Hurry up and get someone to help, quick!' "

  Wang Changhu called over Hu Jingzhong, who was looking this way, and whispered a few words in his ear. Hu Jingzhong nodded and went to greet the approaching Liu sisters.

  At this time, Shao Shuai led Smith to the front of Wang Changhu and said: "Tiger son, this is Mr. Smith, a famous American investor."

  The two shook hands and exchanged a greeting: "Hello; hello."

  Then the two of them started staring at each other, as if they wanted to see some flaw in each other's eyes. But both parties smiled simultaneously and said: "Nice to meet you." "Me too."

  Young Marshal said: "Tiger, you chat with Mr. Smith, when the banquet is over, go to Lao Hu Ting, I have something to say to you." Wang Changhu stood up straight and replied: "Yes".

  "Looks like you have a lot of respect for him?" said Smith.

  "Yes, he is my idol and I have always respected him."

  "Alas! Heroes are never destined for a good end."

  Wang Changhu smiled and said, "You're wrong. The heroes you mentioned are the ones who don't care about their lives. History has never been written by these people."

  "What do you mean?" said Smith.

  "The real heroes are those who would rather die than lose face, only such people can write history."

  Smith smiled and said: It seems that you and I are the same kind of people. Now we have a basis for cooperation.
