"Okay, that's it. Mr. Zhou's smile will be brighter. Boss Bai, please lean closer to Mr. Zhou, that's it..."
The spotlight flashed.
Wearing red wedding clothes, Zhou Sen and Bai Yulan took a wedding photo.
In addition to serious wedding photos, Zhou Sen and Bai Yulan also took many artistic photos. Of course, taking these photos was very hard.
Zhou Sen dedicated a weekend to dragging Bai Yulan out, found a professional photo studio, and paid a sum of money.
I took pictures of both interior and exterior scenes, especially when it happened to snow, and I captured quite beautiful snow scenes.
It's a pity that the final photo was a black and white photo, which has to be said to be a pity, but this regret can still be made up for in the future.
"I'm exhausted. I will never take wedding photos again." After returning home, Bai Yulan took off her high heels and walked on the floor wearing shoes and socks without any image.
"You want to do it again, you are so beautiful." Zhou Sen chuckled and glared at her.
"Why spend so much money and take so many photos?" Bai Yulan said with some distress, "This can't be used as food."
"When we get old, if you want to recall the style of your youth, you can only look for it from these photos. Do you think they are meaningful?" Zhou Sen said.
"Anyway, I feel a little sad after spending so much money..."
"You can make money again, but youth is gone and you can't come back. Yu Lan, let's not hold wedding banquets anymore. The money saved will be enough for us to take photos like this ten or eight times, right?"
"Forget it, I won't argue with you anymore," Bai Yulan said, "Our new Xiangfang store is opening, are you going to show up?"
"No, I have a sensitive identity. The Soviet Union has probably put me on a dangerous list. If I show up in public, I will easily give them a chance."
"You said the agents and killers lurking in Ice City will attack you?"
"It's not impossible, so during this period, I have to keep a low profile and try not to have too much contact with the outside world." Zhou Sen nodded.
"Then what happened when you asked Qin Lang to find a building for you?"
"I just want to open a small orthopedic hospital. It feels so good to treat illnesses and save people. I kind of like this feeling." Zhou Sen said.
"You really think that once this hospital is opened, do you really want to be a doctor and treat people?"
"I don't have to go every day. I can go one day or half a day a week. Our family's ancestral craftsmanship cannot be lost from us. Isn't it great to use it to benefit the people and leave us a way out?" Zhou Sen said.
"Is that what you think?"
"Of course, what other ideas can I have?" Zhou Sen said, "I want to build this hospital into the best orthopedic hospital in the whole Ice City. Not only Chinese medicine, but also Western medicine examination methods will be introduced. By then, this Our family can provide him with one-stop solutions for life, old age, illness and death."
"The ambition is not small!"
"That's right, if you are willing, the position of the next president of the Bingcheng General Chamber of Commerce will be yours." Zhou Sen said boldly.
"I don't want to be the president of the General Chamber of Commerce, otherwise I will be scolded in the spine." Bai Yulan said.
"Okay, let's just leave it alone!"
…
Bingcheng Railway Station.
Zhou Sen was called up early in the morning. It was Saburo Shibuya who asked his adjutant Ono to call him, telling him to arrive at the train station before eight o'clock.
The newly appointed deputy director of the Ice City Police Department, Matsuda Kikuo, arrived and asked him to accompany him to welcome him.
Although they knew they were coming, they came too suddenly, leaving no time for Bingcheng's colleagues to react.
Shibuya Saburo was probably confused too. This guy seemed to be having trouble getting along with Shibuya Saburo. Otherwise, why wouldn't he have informed him in advance and said hello?
This came quietly, obviously trying to catch Shibuya Saburo off guard. However, what is Shibuya Saburo? There are people from China to Manchuria, and the relationship with the Kwantung Army is very close. The military has Being able to entrust confidential tasks to him shows how deep his connections within the Kwantung Army are.
What's more, he was born in the army. Before he was forced to retire, he had reached the rank of colonel, which was equivalent to the level of a regimental commander. He was a middle-to-high-level officer in the army.
He was discharged from the army, got into the police system, and was demoted. Shibuya Saburo had deep connections in the military.
Zhou Sen didn't dare to neglect when he received the call. He got up quickly without eating breakfast and asked Wu En to drive him to the train station.
When he arrived, Shibuya Saburo and others were already waiting on the platform. It was freezing cold at 20 to 30 degrees below zero outside.
Standing on the unobstructed platform, even though I was wearing a lot of clothes, the cold wind still kept pouring into my clothes.
Zhou Sen saw many important figures in the police department, all of whom were wearing mink or fox fur, and some were wearing leather jackets.
The Japanese are very strict about hierarchy and cannot overstep their bounds. As a small police lieutenant, he could only stand at the back of the welcoming team.
Shibuya Saburo saw him, but did not say hello to him or let him come forward.
Obviously, on today's occasion, he didn't want Zhou Sen to get too much attention, but he called him here again just to let him see it.
Zhou Sen didn't want to stand out. Shibuya Saburo had this idea, which was exactly what he wanted. He could hide behind and smoke.
In the winter, it is normal for the train to be late. It was originally scheduled to arrive at eight o'clock, but it is normal to arrive late, sometimes even half an hour at night.
The train comes from Xinjing.
In fact, Matsuda Kikuo had already arrived in Xinjing. He originally thought that he would take his wife and children to play in Xinjing for a few days. Unexpectedly, he would suddenly come early.
No one had ever dealt with this Matsuda Kikuo. He was transferred from the mainland and could not figure out his character. Everyone stood on the platform with their heads high and their chests held high, for fear of giving a bad impression to future commanders.
The train has arrived.
Because the sound of the siren was heard, this was a reminder to the station ahead to prepare.
Zhou Sen took a glance and discovered that there was a band on the platform. This was obviously prepared to welcome Matsuda Kikuo, the deputy director of the new police department.
For me, if Matsuda Kikuo killed Shibuya Saburo by surprise, Shibuya Saburo would be unhappy.
He came to the train station to greet her with such fanfare and even called in a band. Such a temporary action could actually lead to such a reaction.
This is to show Matsuda Kikuo that he has control over Ice City. Don’t think that just because you are here, you can overpower him.
This is a silent confrontation.
The train entered the station slowly and stopped on the platform.
The VIP compartment door opens.
A Japanese man who looked a bit potbellied walked out of the car holding a middle-aged woman in a gorgeous kimono.
The band's welcome music quickly started playing.
This shocked the passengers who got off the bus. Even Matsuda Kikuo's face changed slightly. The small eyes behind his brown glasses shrank. He soon returned to normal. He let go of his wife's arm. He walked towards Shibuya Saburo with a smile.
Behind the two, there was a girl holding a little boy, both wearing traditional Japanese clothes. The girl was about sixteen or seventeen years old, as old as a flower, and the little boy was seven or eight years old. He looked around curiously, obviously. The novelty of arriving in a strange place.
"Matsuda-kun, long time no see!" Shibuya Saburo took the initiative to open his arms and hug him.
Matsuda Kikuo also walked over very friendly and gave him a hug. He was slightly shorter than Shibuya Saburo, and he was fat. When the two of them hugged, it looked very funny.
This "touching" scene was naturally photographed by reporters outside the cordon.
Saburo Shibuya enthusiastically took Matsuda Kikuo's hand and introduced his colleagues from the Bingcheng Police Department and the Binjiang Provincial Police Department.
Matsuda Kikuo shook hands one by one and bowed politely: "Please take care of me."
Of course, Zhou Sen was among them, and Shibuya Saburo didn't introduce him specifically, but Matsuda Kikuo took two seconds longer than the others when shaking hands with Zhou Sen.
Most people can't feel this, but Zhou Sen felt it in his heart, so he naturally paid more attention to Matsuda Kikuo. This fat man must know him.
It seems that I have to be careful.
Of course, it was still very natural on the surface, bowing with a smile on his face to express welcome.
As Matsuda Kikuo's family and Shibuya Saburo and his entourage headed towards the VIP exit, they deliberately took advantage of smoking to fall behind.
Zhou Sen glanced casually and suddenly saw a familiar figure walking down from the train, with bright eyes and bright teeth.
He suddenly felt as if his heart had skipped a beat.
Why is she here?
What kind of joke is this old man Pishkov kidding himself?
Zhou Sen pinched his mouth hard to avoid being blinded and mistaking similar people.
After feeling the pain, I opened my eyes again and saw that yes, there was no hallucination. It was her, Natasha, who had come to the Ice City.
Don't play like this.
Just as the Japanese are fools, Bingcheng is a dragon's den and a tiger's den. If you bring this woman here, isn't this a sheep entering a tiger's mouth?
Natasha obviously didn't see Zhou Sen. She was wearing a maroon windbreaker, a red scarf, calfskin boots, and carrying a box. Then she saw two Russians in suits coming forward.
It was someone from the Consulate General of the Soviet Union. He saw a car from the Consulate General of the Soviet Union parked at the edge of the platform. He should have come to pick her up.
What was Pishkov doing? He arranged for Natasha to work in the Consulate General of the Soviet Union. As a diplomat, Natasha was indeed much safer.
But why bother? Didn't he already have a relationship with Salman?
Do you not believe in yourself, or are there other reasons?
Or maybe Saburo Shibuya called him over to greet Matsuda Kikuo, and his purpose was not for him to meet Matsuda, but for Natasha?
If this is the case, then there is a mole in the Far East Intelligence Department. Otherwise, how could Saburo Shibuya know accurately that Natasha was taking this train...
The more Zhou Sen thought about it, the more creepy he felt. Shibuya Saburo didn't completely believe in himself until this moment, right?
If so, he would have to respond immediately.
Natasha was sent to Ice City as a diplomat, and the Japanese and special agencies did not dare to attack her without any reason, especially during the sensitive period when Japan and the Soviet Union were still in secret negotiations.
Whoever dares to stir up trouble at this time will definitely not be looked upon favorably by the top brass of the Japanese military.
So, Natasha is safe.
Since her life was not in danger, he had more options, and he decided that he must see Shibuya Saburo as soon as possible.
