After finally arriving at the hotel, the splendid hotel lobby and spacious and luxurious rooms dazzled the two of them. Even Chen Wanli couldn't help but look around and marveled, while Zhao Qinghu was a little dizzy after the elevator and entered the room. Huhu sat on the soft sofa in a daze.
Chen Wanli also joked that it was Grandma Liu who entered the Grand View Garden. At the same time, he also said that staying in this kind of hotel was too luxurious and he was afraid that he would waste a lot of money.
Zhao Qinghu, who had been sitting for a while before coming back to his senses, felt a little uneasy when he looked at the elegant, clean and tidy room and the sofa that felt like he was sitting on the clouds.
Only then did he realize that he was feeling uncomfortable holding his urine, so he embarrassedly asked where the hut was.
This means that both Zhang Xiaoping and Chen Wanli were a little careless. They didn't realize that this was Zhao Qinghu's first time staying in a high-end hotel, and that Zhang Xiaoping was introducing the details of the next day's meeting to Chen Wanli. They just pointed to the bathroom door. , let Zhao Qinghu solve it by himself.
When Zhao Qinghu entered the bathroom, he was a little dumbfounded.
The smooth and jade-like ground made him feel embarrassed to step on it. The silver-rimmed wash mirror is bright and dazzling, the white wash basin and the two unknown porcelain jars, one large and one small, are as smooth as jade and spotless.
Zhao Qinghu guessed that the large white porcelain tub was used for bathing, because it was somewhat similar to the wooden bathtub used by ordinary people.
But Zhao Qinghu was a little confused as to what this small round porcelain jar squatting on the ground was used for.
The key is, where is the pit?
Of course he didn't know the toilet. Even most people in the Republic of China during this period didn't know the toilet, let alone how to use it.
So, our Zhao Qinghu, who is known as Jiangdong Tiger Head, searched all over the bathroom and couldn't find a place to pee. You might as well have a hole.
He also wondered if this small white porcelain tub was just for convenience, but seeing the smooth surface of the pool and the small curve of clear water at the bottom of the toilet, he didn't dare to urinate in it.
He held his pee in the bathroom and pondered for a long time, until Chen Wanli came out to urge him, and then he came out sweating.
Originally, it would be enough to just ask about this kind of thing, but after joining the mercenary group, Zhao Qinghu knew very well the shortcomings of himself and his brothers. It was fine that he had been with Chen Wanli for a long time, but he felt a little inferior in front of Zhang Xiaoping. I'm so embarrassed to ask.
And he also thought that he would go out soon anyway, and then he could just find a corner wall where no one was around and solve the problem.
Unfortunately, it backfired because it is harder to find a deserted place in Shanghai in broad daylight than to find a needle in a haystack.
So as Zhang Xiaoping enthusiastically led them through the streets and alleys, introducing some of Shanghai's customs and tasting street food, Zhao Qinghu gradually couldn't walk anymore.
At this time, he only felt unbearable pain in his lower abdomen. Every step he took felt like needles pricking him, and his face turned purple from the pain.
Chen Wanli, who was already familiar with this chivalrous young man, discovered something strange about Zhao Qinghu.
At this time, Zhao Qinghu stopped hiding it. If he kept pretending, his bladder would really explode.
After knowing the whole story, Chen Wanli and Zhang Xiaoping were both dumbfounded. Unexpectedly, they almost had an accident while staying in a high-end hotel.
When he finally found a public toilet deep in the lane, Zhao Qinghu was already carried in by Zhang Xiaoping and Chen Wanli because his bladder was so painful that he couldn't walk.
After they returned to the hotel, Zhang Xiaoping, who felt very guilty, quickly introduced all the facilities in the room to Zhao Qinghu, and apologized to Zhao Qinghu again and again.
Zhang Xiaoping's apology is of course sincere, just because they have been there too. I think that when they were a bunch of country bumpkins from Dawangzhuang, they also made a lot of fools of themselves when they first stayed in a big hotel in Zhengzhou. The difference between Zhao Qinghu's performance now is the difference between the eldest brother and the second brother.
Zhao Qinghu felt refreshed after falling thousands of miles away. He knew this but blamed himself for being too shy and not asking anyone. Naturally, he would not blame Zhang Xiaoping, the landlord.
But he still blushed and asked Zhang Xiaoping and Chen Wanli to keep his secret, especially if it was not spread to the ears of the brothers in the Jiangfang Brigade, otherwise everyone would know that he, the captain, almost died of urination when he arrived in Shanghai. I'm afraid it was really true. I'm too embarrassed to see anyone.
Now that Chen Wanli is Zhao Qinghu's direct boss, he naturally wants to protect the face of his officers, and of course he will not tell anyone.
Zhang Xiaoping felt guilty, and was even more afraid that he would be scolded if his senior brother found out, so he naturally agreed.
But he now understands that he still has to learn from his senior brother in many ways.
I think back when my senior brother took everyone to stay at Zhengzhou Jianguo Hotel, he was afraid that the brothers would make a fool of themselves, so he asked people from the Central Party Committee and the hotel waiters to explain to everyone the various facilities in the room. That's it, the brothers still made a lot of jokes, which became the basis for everyone to tease each other later.
There is still a big gap between me and my senior brothers in these aspects.
Of course, this episode is just a digression.
But he said that at this meeting, Zhou Wen specially invited Liu Ruolan to come, just to let her become familiar with the current internal mechanism of the mercenary group. Moreover, Zhou Wen was worried that it would be awkward for her to attend such a meeting for the first time, so he specially asked her to play the role of the meeting secretary to enhance the sense of participation.
The reason why Zhou Wen wants to hold this meeting is because Mr. Situ will return to the United States from the United States in the near future, and he also brings more than 3.5 million US dollars in cashier's checks. These U.S. dollars were donated by overseas Chinese in North America to fight against Japan. The principal paid special attention to them and asked Adjutant Wang to notify Zhou Wen and ask him to be prepared.
During this period, Zhou Wendu took his brothers to conduct security training at the Lujiaqiao base. Several master guards sent by the principal's attendant's office came to guide the training. Even Adjutant Wang personally came to inspect and provide guidance several times, and the results were very good. good.
In fact, for these masters of the mercenary group, the main purpose of training is to learn some professional security knowledge and establish preliminary awareness, as well as to change some behavioral habits. As for mobility, the instructors in the Attendance Room were speechless after seeing the brothers' skills. Frankly speaking, only the few guards with the best skills in the Attendance Room could barely compare.
In the near future, Zhou Wen will take his brothers to Nanjing and conduct several joint trainings with the guards in the attendant room. At the very least, everyone must keep their faces together, otherwise when people on both sides are accidentally injured or misunderstood during the operation, it will be an international joke.
Once Zhou Wen leaves, he will have to wait until Mr. Situ returns to the United States before he can be free, so he must make arrangements for the mercenary group before leaving.
