"Ms. Gu?"
Ma Yong rubbed his eyes, looked over again, and found that he had not mistaken the person.
Gu Qingcheng is very easy to recognize, not that she has any special features, but that her clothes are a bit "offbeat".
In the stands, most of them were suits and dresses, or tunic student skirts.
The few women wearing traditional coats and skirts huddled behind their families like frightened quails.
Among the people Ma Yong knows, only Ms. Gu wears a conservative and complicated horse-faced skirt and a traditional bun, but she can still hold her chest and head high.
There is also the kind of confidence and publicity that comes from the bones, which is simply Gu Qingcheng's signature.
Not to mention, Gu Qingcheng was accompanied by a fat guy!
With so many obvious signs put together, Ma Yong felt that he had not mistaken the person.
only--
How could Ms. Gu get together with foreigners?
She seems to be chatting with a foreigner. This, this is too fantasy.
Ma Yong knew that Gu Qingcheng could read and write, and he also knew that she was really literate, but there was a big difference between Eastern and Western cultures.
Not to mention anything else, just language is like a huge threshold.
The two top soldiers who accompanied Gu Qingcheng for a walk in the city that day did not report to the adjutant after returning.
Because they themselves didn't believe that a country woman with big feet who was traveling far away for the first time could actually talk and laugh with foreigners.
If you say this, not only will you not be able to receive the reward, you may even be scolded by the adjutant.
Based on the principle that one thing is worse than one thing less, the two of them "forgot" the matter together.
The adjutant didn't know, so he naturally wouldn't report it to Ma Yong.
As for Ma Yong, he has been busy handling the accumulated military affairs these days. He went to the governor to request the purchase of ordnance and other supplies. When he had a little free time, he also invited Miss Chen, who was on a blind date, to eat steak and drink coffee.
Gee, it’s busy and annoying—those bloody steaks and bitter coffee, what’s so good about them?
The key is that Ma Yong doesn't understand those Western rules at all, and it's awkward to use a pair of knives and forks.
During meals, he would be scolded by Miss Chen and wouldn't even be allowed to speak.
Being busy and not in a good mood, Ma Yong naturally didn't have the energy to pay attention to anything else.
After not seeing each other for a few days, Ms. Gu brought him such a "surprise".
"What is it, Ms. Gu?"
Wearing an exquisite dress, white lace gloves on her hands, a hat on her head, and exquisite makeup on her face.
Ms. Chen's appearance, which was originally five to six points, was enhanced by her clothes and she could barely be considered a delicate beauty.
It was just the slight arrogance between her eyebrows that ruined her image a little.
She dislikes a rough guy like Ma Yong.
He has a simple mind, well-developed limbs, banditry habits, talks loudly, and chirps when he eats...
His teeth were yellow, and when he opened his mouth, he used curse words such as "Mom, you're a bitch."
I can't read a word, I can't even drink coffee, I'm really embarrassed wherever I go.
If it weren't for my age, if it weren't for my family still asking for Commander Ma, if it weren't for...
She just had a hard life, it was just that she was not taken seriously as a child, and when she grew up, she had to sacrifice for her family.
Feeling disgusted in her heart, Miss Chen had no patience with Ma Yong at all.
However, seeing that he looked like he had seen a ghost at this moment, Miss Chen still followed his line of sight curiously.
When she saw Gu Qingcheng's traditional coat and skirt that smelled of decay, she immediately lost interest.
Humph, another ignorant and old-fashioned woman.
Someone who should be called "Ms. Gu" actually has the nerve to call herself Ms. Gu!
"Commander Ma, don't pay attention to these unimportant people. I'd better introduce Mr. Felix to you."
"Mr. Felix is a famous surgeon. He and Mr. Bach are good friends."
Mr. Bach is a businessman in country D.
His family has quite a status in country D, and I heard that his uncle is a general.
Therefore, his business inevitably came into contact with ordnance.
Miss Chen knew that Ma Yong was trying every means to establish relationships with foreigners who could sell arms.
And Mr. Felix, whom she met in church and dance halls, was her greatest source of confidence.
Although she only met Mr. Felix once, and although she only spoke simple English and didn't know a word of D, among the people Ma Yong knew, she was definitely the one most likely to help him.
This is Miss Chen's confidence.
This was also the biggest reason why she was able to marry Commander Ma as his stepmother instead of being a concubine.
"Fei, why do you want to kill Mr. Fei? He is a doctor?"
Ma Yong was so confused by foreign names such as Felix and Bach that he couldn't react for a while.
"I want to buy arms and I don't want to see a doctor. Why do I need to pay for it?"
Ms. Chen: ...Idiot! I can’t even understand the causal relationship!
That is to say, he encountered troubled times and held a few guns in his hands, and then he became the commander of Yeluzi.
If left in the past, such an illiterate and simple-minded big-headed soldier would not be worthy of giving her MISS Chen a pair of shoes.
But...
Miss Chen was filled with sadness and always felt that she was a "beautiful girl with a bad fate".
Sighing secretly in her heart, Miss Chen endured her disgust and disgust and patiently explained: "Mr. Felix is a doctor, but he is Mr. Bach's personal doctor."
"Mr. Bach's uncle is a general in country D, so Mr. Bach can get ordnance."
Country D's ordnance is the most sophisticated, much stronger than those made in Hanyang.
"D domestic product?"
As a soldier, Ma Yong naturally knows which company has the best weapons.
After listening to Miss Chen's words, his eyes were shining brightly.
For a moment, his mind was filled with the most sophisticated and superior military equipment from Country D.
The question of why Ms. Gu was chatting and laughing with a foreigner was temporarily forgotten by him.
"Yes! Commander, don't you want to buy ordnance? We can get to know Mr. Bach through Mr. Felix, and then--"
Ms. Chen only found it very strenuous.
Alas, such a simple truth requires a lot of effort to explain.
too tired!
"Oh! That's great!"
As a soldier with beast-like intuition, Ma Yong naturally felt the disgust exuded by Miss Chen.
But, that's not important.
Originally, I was not a good match for a wealthy daughter like Miss Chen.
In addition, now that he has something to ask for from her, Ma Yong doesn't care even more.
To be honest, as long as someone can help him get ordnance, he will not care about the other party's disapproval, even if he treats the other party as an aunt, he will not give a shit!
"Oh, Mr. Felix is here, let's go! Let's get there quickly!"
Seeing that Ma Yong finally realized his importance, Miss Chen's eyes flashed with pride.
She raised her chin reservedly, caught a glimpse of the gray-haired figure out of the corner of her eye, and hurriedly tugged on Ma Yong's sleeve.
"Oh, okay! Let's go!"
Ma Yong was looking forward to it but also worried.
He hurriedly pulled on his military uniform and adjusted his hat, trying to make it look like there was nothing wrong with him.
As for Miss Chen, she was still complacent at first.
But when she walked up to Mr. Felix, her arrogant face instantly turned humble, and she greeted him stiffly in English:
"Hi! Mr. Felix! Hello! Do you remember me? I am MISS Chen. We danced together at the Grand Theater Ball."
Ms. Chen's English is not very good, and she still has a slight accent.
Moreover, she is not really confident. When facing foreigners, she always has a sense of inferiority and cowardice from the bottom of her heart.
Her attitude was extremely humble and flattering.
Before the other party could do anything, she softened her knees first.
"MISS Chen?"
Who?
It seems to be a bit impressive, but not deep.
People of different races are actually somewhat blind to each other.
As for Miss Chen, she is not the kind of bright and charming beauty. She does not have any iconic features. It is really normal for Felix, who has only met her once, to be unable to remember her.
However, when Felix saw that the other party was wearing a Western-style skirt and speaking broken English, he knew that she should be the so-called "new woman".
For such people, Felix is willing to show some kindness.
"Oh! It turns out to be MISS Chen, hello!"
Mr. Felix, adhering to the gentleman's demeanor, greeted Miss Chen politely.
Ms. Chen, however, regarded other people's politeness as "taking it seriously."
She was secretly proud of herself and subconsciously wanted to see Ma Yong.
She seemed to want to say: You see, I know Mr. Felix.
Ma Yong could not understand the chatter between Miss Chen and Felix.
But he can read people's faces.
He found that this foreigner with gray hair and blue eyes was smiling and talking to Miss Chen.
Smiling means closeness and a good relationship.
So, does Ms. Chen really know foreigners? The relationship between the two is not bad?
Ma Yong thought to himself.
Ms. Chen successfully received Felix's response, and she seemed to be encouraged.
She took a slight test, pointed at Ma Yong and said to Felix, "Mr. Felix, this is Commander Ma Yong."
"He has something he wants to discuss with you."
In fact, Miss Chen doesn't want to be so straightforward.
She wanted to chat with Felix first to further build a closer relationship.
But her English level is really limited, and she simply can't use words that are too profound or too euphemistic.
Moreover, Felix on the opposite side is not from Taiwan. Although he can speak some English, he is not as proficient in his native language as D.
Two people who are very good at English want to communicate in English and want to communicate at a high level, which is nothing more than a dream.
Felix was stunned for a moment, and his eyes subconsciously looked at Ma Yong.
When Ma Yong saw this, he thought that Miss Chen had successfully negotiated with Mr. Fei, so he forced out a kind smile and said stiffly to Felix, "Choke to death, choke to death."
Felix:…
It’s not that I dislike it, I just feel a little baffled.
The atmosphere is a bit awkward.
Felix looked around out of the corner of his eye and happened to see an acquaintance. He left Ma Yong behind and walked towards the person with a smile——
"Bayer! Why are you here at the racecourse again?"
PS: Dear friends, it’s the last day for double monthly tickets, and a certain person shouted with all his strength: Please give me monthly tickets! ┗|｀O′|┛Ouch~~
