Secretary Ono has worked in Bingcheng for many years and has always followed Saburo Shibuya. As soon as he came in, he attracted the attention of many people.
Ono followed Saburo Shibuya to work in Xinjing. Although he was not a big official, his position was too critical. He was Saburo Shibuya's absolute confidant.
Therefore, no one dares to underestimate him.
Such a person should be by Shibuya Saburo's side at all times, but Shibuya Saburo was not seen. It was obvious that he was sent here by Shibuya Saburo.
Everyone knows that Zhou Sen is a student of Shibuya Saburo, but Shibuya Saburo worked part-time at the police academy in Ice City, so anyone who has attended his class is considered a student.
Only Zhou Sen is different, because he was acknowledged by Shibuya Saburo himself, and sending Ono to represent Zhou Sen at the full moon banquet of Zhou Sen's two children further illustrates Zhou Sen's position in Shibuya Saburo's heart. .
"Mr. Ono..."
Ono's sudden arrival made it difficult to arrange this position, but fortunately Zhou Sen specifically explained that in order to prevent this kind of situation, a seat was reserved at the table for the Japanese guests of the National Police Agency.
In this way, there is no need to change and it can be arranged directly.
"Dear Mayor Yu, Director Bai, Deputy Director Matsuda..." On the temporary podium set up, Zhou Sen dressed up and stood in front of the microphone and said.
Zhou Sen thanked the many guests for coming to support him. After finishing his speech, he bowed deeply and received applause inside and outside the hall.
"Yu Lan, please say a few words."
Bai Yulan was wearing a cheongsam. Although she was a little bloated after giving birth, she could not hide her unparalleled elegance. She came up to her and said, "Good evening, distinguished guests. Today is the happiest day in my life. I am able to meet To meet a poor husband, marry him, and suddenly have a pair of twins, this is something I have never thought of before..."
When it came to the emotional part, Bai Yulan's eyes turned red and she was so emotional. If she hadn't been able to restrain herself, she would have shed tears on the spot.
Such an emotional narration moved even the female guests present, who even received thunderous applause after leaving the stage.
Bai Yulan was a pregnant woman and was still breastfeeding. After speaking, she naturally returned to the preparation room to rest.
The full moon feast begins.
Dishes with delicious taste and flavor began to be served from the back kitchen, along with jars of fine wine and freshly squeezed watermelon juice.
The male guests and female guests came separately.
Female guests are basically arranged in private rooms, while male guests are all in the lobby.
Generally, women don't like noisy situations. The private room is quieter. When men drink, the drinking will cause chaos and chaos. If they are arranged in the lobby, it will be more lively.
As for VIPs, those with status like Vice Mayor Yu were naturally placed in a private box with better privacy.
In this way, they would have more fun drinking and eating. Otherwise, they would sit down and have a glass of wine at most and then leave.
Zhou Sen won a lot of praise for such thoughtful and thoughtful arrangements.
"You should eat something to cushion your meal first, and you will probably have to toast at the table later." Bai Yulan instructed Zhou Sen.
"Don't worry, I know what's going on. I've prepared all the hangover medicine." Zhou Sen nodded and told Axiang, "Axiang, take good care of your sister Yulan."
"Don't worry, Brother Sen."
"Then I'll go." Zhou Sen nodded.
Zhou Sen began to toast from table to table, moving from the VIP box, to the lobby, and then to the ordinary box. He would not be able to bear it if they all moved down.
So he, Jiang Rou, Qin Lang and Chang Bo divided the work, and each of them was followed by someone to ensure safety.
Zhou Sen originally wanted to take Wu En with him, but after thinking about it, he decided not to and called Muren. Muren was much more flexible than Wu En, and his status was not bad either. He could speak for him and hold back the wine. No problem.
Wu En was assigned to Qin Lang, Chang Bo took A Le, and Jiang Rou was followed by her aunt Bai Moer.
There are twenty tables for each person, and a glass of wine for one table and one for that is a pound at least, not to mention it is just an appetizer.
Zhou Sen returned to the main table.
The main table was in the large box, and there were four tables. Two tables were occupied by Zhou Sen's superiors in the police system and Deputy Mayor Yu, and the other two tables were occupied by Japanese people from the Ice City secret service and intelligence system.
"Officer Zhou, congratulations!"
Returning to the main table, Zhou Sen was surrounded by people again. They were toasting one cup after another. It was not easy to offend anyone, so he had to bite the bullet and drink.
He drank from the east table to the west table, and then from the west table to the east table. He didn't know how much he drank. During this period, Mu Yun blocked a lot of wine from him.
Even though he vomited most of his throat and took anti-alcoholic medicine, Zhou Sen still didn't escape from being drunk in the end.
He swore that if he was born again in the future, he would never hold a full moon party again. This would be too painful.
Fortunately, nothing happened that night. It was lively and peaceful. All the guests came happily and went back full of joy.
There is no other way, I have to bite the bullet and see off the guests.
After sending away the last guest, Zhou Sen finally couldn't hold on any longer and collapsed on the ground.
"Quick, two people come and help my uncle in."
"How much did you drink?" Bai Yulan looked at Zhou Sen who was carried into the room distressedly and asked with concern.
"It's already mixed with water, but I drank too much. Otherwise, I would have fallen down long ago." Chang Bo said softly.
"Hurry, pack up and go home." Bai Yulan ordered. Zhou Sen, the male owner, was drunk and unconscious. Naturally, Bai Yulan, the female owner, had the final say in this house.
"That Mr. Ono hasn't left yet."
"Xiaoye, is he the Japanese who came last?" Bai Yulan frowned.
"Well, Mr. Ono is Shibuya Saburo's secretary. He came here as soon as he got off the train. There are no arrangements yet." Chang Bo said.
"Xiao Sen didn't explain?"
"As I said, I have booked a room at the Madil Hotel, but I don't have a car now, so I have to arrange for someone to take me there."
"Then quickly arrange for someone to send it over. Also, give two gifts in return, one for Shibuya Saburo and one for Ono himself." Bai Yulan ordered.
"Understood, I'll do it right away." Chang Bo nodded and quickly turned around and went out.
"Axiang, please distribute the undelivered pastries to the people who are working today and share them with each other. It's a small gesture."
"Yes, Sister Lan."
"I'm going to help Axiang." Jiang Rou said.
…
On the other side, Anna was also urging Cheng Yunfeng and others to pay attention to the content published in tomorrow's newspapers and immediately seize and seize any news that is unfavorable to Zhou Sen.
Even though the full moon banquet in the evening is lively and joyful, and seems peaceful, it is also the most likely to cause trouble afterwards.
Once any inappropriate reports come out, unpredictable things will happen. This is what Zhou Sen specifically explained.
Who knows what photos these reporters will take, and from what angle they will interpret and write articles. Risks must be nipped in the bud.
…
Zhou Sen didn't even know how he got back to Ningxiang Pavilion. Anyway, when he opened his eyes, it was already the next morning.
The sun shines through the glass window on my face, which is quite dazzling, and I have a splitting headache, which makes me miserable.
There was a glass of cold water that had been poured and placed beside the bed. He brought it over and hesitated slightly, but still tilted his neck and drank it in one gulp.
There will be no problems in the family, and he still has some confidence in this. If there were problems in the family, he would have been exposed long ago.
After quenching his thirst, Zhou Sen got off the bed and covered his head to relieve the pain.
I smelled myself, and a sour smell hit my nostrils. I drank too much last night, the most I drank in my memory.
In my current situation today, I guess I won't be able to go to class, so I have to take a rest at home.
I have to take a shower and eat something first. Last night, except for some padding at the beginning, I basically didn’t eat anything after that, and I basically vomited everything I ate. I didn’t get any bleeding from my stomach. This is still happening. It's because I took medicine before drinking.
"Uncle, you're awake. The lady said that you will take a bath when you wake up. Let me bring you clean clothes." Chang Bo opened the door and came in and saw Zhou Sen who had already gotten up.
"Well, thank you, Uncle Chang. I have a severe headache. Please ask Axiang to make me some stomach-warming millet porridge." Zhou Sen said, holding his head.
"It's already simmered. You can eat it after you take a shower." Chang Bo smiled and put down his change of clothes.
"Yeah." It wasn't that Zhou Sen was perfunctory, but that his head was not only dizzy but also in pain.
】
The sequelae of a hangover cannot disappear instantly.
It's autumn, so you can't take a cold shower in the morning. What's more, Zhou Sen is hungover and taking cold water can easily cause health problems, so he has to take a hot shower.
After taking a hot bath, Zhou Sen felt much better than when he got up, and his head didn't hurt as much.
I wiped my wet hair and brushed my teeth. After drinking wine, my mouth was filled with that unpleasant taste.
How can you see your wife and children if you don't clean it up?
He wanted to check on the child first, but Axiang had brought the millet porridge over, so he ate the millet porridge first. There was a little food in his stomach and he felt much better.
It's a full moon, and the two little guys are obviously bigger and taller. They look white and fat, and they are very cute.
They are well-nourished, sleep when they are full, and have no minor problems. The two little guys are growing up healthily and happily.
They didn't know who Zhou Sen was yet, but they were instinctively close to him.
She must have eaten enough, but she had just woken up, and she could still see milk stains on the corners of her mouth. She grabbed Zhou Sen's arm and tried to get up on her own.
Zhou Sen stretched out his hand to tease him, and the little guy chuckled. The sister next to him was much quieter than him. Seeing his father playing with his brother, his big dark eyes flickered and his eyelashes were very long. She is so similar to Bai Yulan.
Although he can't see it now, Zhou Sen believes that due to his and Bai Yulan's excellent genes, his daughter will definitely be a beauty in the future.
Bai Yulan opened the curtain and came in from the outside.
Seeing Zhou Sen playing with the two children, he said, "Xiao Sen, come with me."
"Okay." Zhou Sen nodded and walked out with Bai Yulan.
"This fell from your body last night. I saw it and put it away." In the study, Bai Yulan handed Zhou Sen the promotion order that Ono gave him yesterday.
"Oh, I forgot about this." Zhou Sen reached out to take it and said with a smile.
"Komori, you have been promoted two levels in a year. Even if Shibuya Saburo thinks highly of you and promotes you, he will not open the back door for you like this." Bai Yulan asked seriously.
"You mean this promotion is a bit sudden, right?" Zhou Sen understood Bai Yulan's thoughts as soon as she heard this. She was worried that she would be set up as a target. Not only would she become the jealous object of everyone in the police department, but she would also be criticized by "anti-Manchurians" People with lofty ideals to fight against Japan were targeted.
He is such a highly regarded "traitor", but not everyone can punish him. The full moon banquet last night is enough to show that the Japanese are deliberately flattering Zhou Sen. She is afraid that Zhou Sen will be generously rewarded by the Japanese high-ranking officials. It was hard for her to accept losing herself, completely becoming the other party's lackey, and transforming into a real traitor.
Therefore, when she saw Zhou Sen's order to be promoted to police left, she immediately became worried and vigilant.
"Yu Lan, I am actually surprised by this, but Xiaoye said that I am now in charge of the special intelligence room. If the level is too low and I cannot suppress the people under me, then it is also a reward, but this credit It cannot be told publicly.”
"Hou Gong, what great contribution have you made to the Japanese, and why do you let them treat you like this?" Bai Yulan asked.
"It's not a new achievement, it's a past achievement. When I came back from the Far East, I brought back a captured Japanese officer. That Japanese officer was a member of the royal family." Zhou Sen was not afraid to tell Bai Yulan that this matter was a big secret to the outside world. Not counting my own wife.
"What, you rescued a Japanese royal family?"
"Well, otherwise, I wouldn't have had the chance to come back, and I would have to continue to stay in Khabarovsk. Speaking of which, I have to thank him for rescuing him, and I would have the chance to return to the Ice City." Zhou Sen said .
"No, this Japanese royal officer should be a prisoner of war in the Battle of Halaha River last year. How did you rescue him?"
"It's a long story. As for me, Anna and I opened an orthopedic clinic in the name of husband and wife in Khabarovsk..." Zhou Sen gave an overview of the rescue process. Of course, some key information was naturally substituted and Hidden, because at this time, it is not suitable to tell Bai Yulan the whole truth.
Bai Yulan knew about Zhou Sen and Anna's lurking in Khabarovsk, but Zhou Sen didn't mention many details, and it was hard for her to ask. There are many rules and taboos in this industry, even between husband and wife. , what should be said, what should not be said, cannot be pried around, not to mention Zhou Sen is not affiliated with the military command, Zhou Sen never asks about her secrets, unless she can't hide it, or she takes the initiative to mention it.
Husband and wife should give each other some space, so that each other can feel relaxed. Otherwise, the suffocating feeling without privacy will force the person you love away.
"You have to be careful. Last night, so many guests saw so many high-ranking Japanese officials. I'm afraid their views on you will change from now on." Bai Yulan reminded.
"I know, but I can't help it. As long as we hold this full moon party, it will be inevitable. There are pros and cons to this. The cons are that some people will alienate us and even be wary of us. From then on, we will lose some friends. The pros are Well, many things will be much more convenient for us in Bingcheng, and more people will ask for our help. This can also be put to good use, allowing us to find out who is a human and who is a ghost. As for reputation, I I don’t care, time will tell everything." Zhou Sen explained.
