Chapter 1595: Demons are dancing wildly and clowns are gathering together!
Mao Xuanyi, carrying a square wooden gift box tied with a silk ribbon, and accompanied by a servant, strolled to the entrance of Pukou Hotel.
"Zhu Chenjie from Jiujiu Trading, here to congratulate on behalf of General Cheng." Mao Xuanyi put the gift on the ledger and said with his hands clasped together.
"Mr. Shimoji, from Jiujiu Trading, and Cheng Qianfan from the Central Police Station in the French Concession." The translator whispered to the Japanese officer Koichiro Shimoji beside him.
"Yoshi." Shimochi Koichiro nodded slightly. As a military figure, they had no direct contact with the "Little General Cheng" from the French Concession. However, they knew that this person was close to the Empire and was said to have close relations with some people in the Military Police Headquarters.
"Please come in." The interpreter said with a big smile on his face. He knew the power of 'Little General Cheng' in the French Concession better than Japanese officers like Koichiro Shimochi.
Mao Xuanyi also smiled, took off his top hat to greet the Japanese officer, then put on his top hat and entered the hotel.
……
"Brother Zhu." Zhou Baorong approached Zhu Qitong who was talking to someone and handed him a cigarette. "You guys have made a lot of money recently."
"It's just a small thing, just to make a living." Zhu Qitong took the cigarette and nodded at the man who just came in, "That's how you make big money."
"Who is it?" Zhou Baorong hadn't noticed the door just now, and when he saw that the person coming in looked unfamiliar, he couldn't help but ask.
"Didn't you hear that guy introduce himself? He's from Jiujiu Trading." Zhu Qitong said.
He snorted coldly, "Compared to us, Mr. Cheng's Jiujiu Trading is making a fortune every day."
As he spoke, he lowered his voice and said, "I heard that this Mr. Cheng is deeply trusted by Secretary-General Chu Mingyu?"
"Brother Zhu is well-informed." Zhou Baorong glanced at Zhu Qitong, "It is said that the Cheng family and the Chu family are close friends. Cheng Qianfan calls Secretary Chu uncle."
"Tsk." Zhu Qitong said with a click of the tongue, "He has a good relationship with the Japanese and has also made contact with Mr. Wang. This guy will be very powerful in the future."
"Mr. Wang and Secretary Chu are too far away. We can't reach them." Zhou Baorong flicked the ash from his cigarette and said calmly, "Besides, whose world is ruled now? The Japanese."
The two men smiled at each other. Before the Japanese came, they were just small people who made their fortune by working for the Japanese. Naturally, they had to clung to the Japanese.
Under normal circumstances, a Japanese general like Toda Seiichirō would be unable to find the temple gate even if they carried a pig's head. But this time, when they heard that General Toda was holding a birthday banquet and welcoming guests from all sides, the two of them naturally seized this opportunity and showed their goodwill early.
……
"Team leader." A member of the Special Intelligence Department who had sneaked into the hotel as a temporary worker came up to Mao Xuanyi.
"What's the situation?" Mao Xuanyi asked.
"The Japanese have already sent people to watch the kitchen early on," said the team member. "It would be difficult to poison them."
Sheng Shuyu, Song Fuguo and the young Taoist priest from the Special Affairs Department studied the action plan together. They thought it would be best to find an opportunity to poison the food, which would be the easiest way.
However, it now appears that this strategy is no longer feasible.
"I originally wanted to leave them with an intact body, without blood." Mao Xuanyi sneered, "In this case, let's follow the second plan."
"clear."
Mao Xuanyi straightened his clothes and walked among the many traitors and spies with a smile.
Knowing that he was here to celebrate the birthday on behalf of Jiujiu Trading, everyone treated him warmly. As for the famous Mr. Cheng, some people wanted to make friends with him. Even some people who were proud of their status were unwilling to condescend to chat and laugh with Cheng Qianfan's representative, but they would not be too arrogant to avoid offending him. After all, everyone was more or less aware of Mr. Cheng's vindictive nature.
"Everyone, everyone, the birthday banquet is about to begin. Please take your seats as soon as possible." The interpreter stood in front of the stage and said loudly with a smile on his face.
Behind him stood several Japanese officers, looking at everyone with arrogant smiles.
These traitors and spies, who usually bully the people, all took their seats obediently, looking at the stage with expectant and respectful expressions on their faces.
"Next, we invite today's birthday boy, General Toda Seiichiro of the Great Japanese Locust Army, to the stage." The translator said loudly, "Everyone applaud."
The crowd immediately applauded and welcomed her, and the old man in a long gown and jacket hurriedly bowed and shouted, "Welcome to the Majesty."
Mao Xuanyi watched all this while clapping, and snorted in his heart.
It's really a place where demons are dancing wildly and all the clowns are gathered together.
……
Seiichiro Toda, dressed in a Japanese military general's uniform and with medals on his chest, came on stage amid warm applause.
As the portly Japanese general stepped onto the stage, the applause became even louder.
Seiichiro Toda stood on the stage, looking at the many 'guests' with a smile on his face.
He nodded with satisfaction, and then talked a lot.
"The general said," the translator quickly said, "he is very grateful for the presence of all the distinguished guests. This is his birthday, a personal matter. The general has always been poor. According to the general's original intention, a bowl of birthday noodles is enough to make him happy and satisfied. He did not intend to mobilize a large number of troops."
"However, your generosity is the best proof of the friendship between Japan and China. Your Excellency the General cannot refuse your generosity, so I have to go against my principles and have fun with you on this special day."
"Your Excellency the General is really poor." A traitor shouted loudly, "On this occasion, the glory of the Great Japanese Empire shines brightly. We should thank Your Excellency the General for giving us a chance to thank the Great Japanese Empire for the blessings it has brought to China and Shanghai."
……
The interpreter quickly translated the man's words to Seiichiro Toda.
"Yoshi." Toda Seiichiro laughed and talked a lot.
"The general deeply feels your kindness," the translator said. "The general is very happy. He highly praises you all as the most sincere friends of the Empire of Japan. He believes that with friends like you, Japan-China friendship is worth more expectations."
The translator looked at the person who had just spoken, "The General highly praised this friend as a model of a sincere friend of the Empire of Japan."
"Your Majesty, thank you for your praise. I am Zhou Baorong, the head of the Shanghai Youth League. I was just saying some words from my heart." Zhou Baorong was overjoyed and quickly bowed and said loudly.
There was a burst of warm applause.
Some people looked at Zhou Baorong with envy and jealousy, feeling very annoyed that they did not speak first and let this guy get the first chance.
"Your Excellency General, you have worked hard."
"The Japanese locust army came from afar to rescue the suffering Chinese people. It was really hard work."
Soon, the traitors, who were afraid of being left behind, spoke up and expressed their loyalty and filial piety to Toda Seiichirō and the Japanese.
The translator translated quickly on the side.
Seiichiro Toda watched these scenes and laughed happily.
