Chapter 298

“Suzuki-san, look.” A Japanese man alerted beside Suzuki Saburo, who turned his head towards the door to see Mr. Su changed his clothes, holding his beautiful young fiancée on his arm while talking and slowly walking towards VIP Chiang’s table.

The men of the Japanese Chamber of Commerce occupied three tables, and those present were all Japanese businessmen who had opened companies in the Japanese Concession.

Their goal was certainly not to be satisfied with a small store in a tiny concession in a city; all the businessmen here wanted to open their companies all over China! This is just the starting point.

Now that the Japanese army had finally gained an advantageous position in the city, the merchants who had followed the army to China and supported it in the war were going to start making money!

So they desperately needed society to become peaceful so that they could open factories, produce and sell their goods.

Although Saburo Suzuki is not very old, his family, Suzuki, has been the president of the Chamber of Commerce for four generations.

He had come to China on a family mission to turn China into a place of production and sale for Japanese businessmen, so that the people of this country would produce Japanese products, use Japanese goods, and make money for the Japanese.

He said, “Wait a little and see if Mr. Su and Miss Zhu will come to speak to us.”

A Japanese man asked, “Suppose they don’t come?”

The Japanese around him gave nonchalant looks.

Suzuki Saburo looked at these fools and said with a sneer, “If he doesn’t come, we’ll have to take the initiative to find them!”

Another Japanese man said unwillingly, “Mr. Suzuki, the Japanese are now ……”

Suzuki Saburo: “Shut up! You are not a soldier! Just let the soldiers hold the guns, we just need to stand behind the soldiers to make money. We have to be friendly to the Chinese so they will come willingly to buy our stuff and work in our factories.”

His eyes swept over the Japanese men, and though there were still some who looked resigned, they all bowed their heads in submission.

Saburo Suzuki: “You fools! If there are people who do bad things, there must be people who do good things. If everyone in a country did bad things, we would be hated by everyone. But if there are bad people and good people, then those who are bullied will think we are very good people because they are afraid of the bad people. With just a little bit of effort, we can easily win the hearts and minds of the Chinese. All of this is written in the Chinese Art of War, and you have absolutely no idea what a subtle technique that is.”

He nonchalantly reprimanded the Japanese, many of whom were much older than him.

“I don’t care if you can understand what I’m saying, but I demand that you must do as I say. Otherwise, his company will never be able to gain a foothold in China, he will never be able to make another penny, and I will make sure that he doesn’t even have the money to buy water!”

Suzuki Saburo said sinisterly.

Su Chunjun who was back in front of VIP Jiang of course had to apologize first.

VIP Jiang: “Still lacking exercise. Sit down, everyone is waiting for you.”

After Su Chunjun and Miss Zhu Er sat down, they were greeted with a new set of toasts.

But Su Chunjun could sit down this time, and he could toast everyone with a glass of wine like Secretary Zhao did just now, that is, he didn’t drink it, just sip it every time.

Men have men’s socializing, and women have women’s socializing.

Mr. Su’s place was surrounded by a bunch of people, and Zhu Er Miss’s place was also surrounded by a bunch of people.

She is all women here.

Mrs. Shao, standing on the left hand side of Miss Zhu, half crouched down, crouched down in her ear and introduced to her in a thoughtful and detailed manner whose wives these people are, what positions their husbands hold, and with whom they are related.

Zhu Er Miss felt that she had really underestimated Mrs. Shao.

Mrs. Shao has a wonderful way of speaking, some people come to toast for Miss Zhu, but also block the wine, but also with people to fight for wine, her thin body looks really worrying, but she fights for wine fiercely, one time is ten cups, a drink is two rows of twenty rows, ten white wine cups on the table, not anyone has the guts to challenge.

However, Ms. Zhu underestimated these women!

There was more than one wine hero like Mrs. Shao.

After all, almost all of those who could be brought here by the men were new-style wives, and old-style wives were almost non-existent.

In the past, Mayor Feng’s Mrs. Feng was an old-fashioned wife, so those who came to socialize with Mrs. Feng at that time were all old-fashioned wives, tying their little feet and wearing embroidered shoes.

However, today’s banquet held by Jiang dignitaries did not bring their wives, but the New Year’s banquet is a “family banquet”, is a rare holiday with the people to enjoy the festival, with the intention of pleasing the gentlemen to use their brains, not only did they bring their wives here, almost all of them are beautiful and beautiful wife.

Zhu Er Miss boldly guessed, she suspected that many of these beautiful wives are “aunts” and “small public house wife”.

There may also be a lot of dancing girls from the dance hall.

So the style of these wives are more bold and wild.

Zhu Er Miss also learn from Mr. Su, put a wine cup in front of her, and from time to time, put it up to dip her lips as if she had drunk, and the rest of the time is to eat the food.

This is a banquet isn’t it?

She was here to eat ah.

Besides, the cook at Mayor Feng’s residence is very skilled, and the dishes are all good and big.

A pot of turtle roasted eggs over here, a plate of fried crab legs over there.

She took a spoonful of turtle soup, ate two chopsticks of turtle meat, and then took a piece of hairy crab cut into pieces, fried bright red crab legs are already crispy, the crab meat inside is locked in the fresh flavor, click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click, the aroma is unbelievable.

Zhu Er Miss concentrated on picking crab meat with a small silver fork, crab yolk are digging and eat, eat with gusto, is a table in the chaos of a splash of clear water.

Another clear stream was VIP Jiang, who was also picking crabs carefully and eating them.

Secretary Zhao was serving the dignitary, he could not care less about eating.

Eat out of the tip of a plate of crab shells, Zhu Er Miss stopped to rest, pour a cup of warm yellow wine to drink a drink, and then told Mrs. Shao to take a break, also eat something and then continue to compete with others, and then give their own Mr. Su a bowl of picking the crab meat, shouting that he hurry to eat.

Secretary Zhao poured yellow wine for VIP Jiang and tsked, “This Ms. Zhu really knows how to love people.”

VIP Jiang was already full, he just couldn’t get off the table yet, wiping his mouth with a handkerchief and saying, “Envious?”

Secretary Zhao shook his head and sighed, “There’s nothing I can do about envy. I wasn’t able to be poor enough to rent the Zhu family’s house back then, so naturally I didn’t get a fiancée as good as Miss Zhu.”

A fiancée like Miss Zhu Er is unattainable. Both the family had to be enlightened, but also the girl herself had to be smart, and most importantly, the girl had to know what she was doing.

In the past, only the big families would educate their girls this way, with a view to them being able to help their husbands.

Essential Chiang: “Little Su is just too lucky. Running away from home still calls for him to meet such a suitable wife.”

Marriage is all about being in the right family. If Su Chunjun was still at home, it would have been easy for him to meet a lady like Miss Zhu, but it would have been harder for him to escape.

At this time, Secretary Zhao and VIP Jiang both saw a Japanese woman come over and politely clink glasses with Ms. Zhu, and then drank her own wine.

Secretary Zhao whispered, “The Japanese can’t wait.”

Essential Chiang: “Uh-huh.”

See how Second Miss Zhu responds.

Zhu Yuyan looked at the girl with a smile; she wasn’t wearing a kimono, she was wearing a Western-style dress, and if she hadn’t been speaking Japanese, she wouldn’t have looked much different from the Chinese misses at school.

She said, “My name is Yoshiko, hello Yanji, I’ve been looking forward to meeting you.”

Zhu Yuyan said curiously, “Why do you want to meet me? Where did you hear about me?”

Why is it that every Japanese person seems to have heard of her?

She asked Yoshiko to sit down.

Yoshiko smiled and said, “I heard it from the girls who came to my house to help out. They said there was a Japanese friend at the university in China, you. I really wanted to go to college too, but my family never agreed. Because I’ve already been to a girls’ high school and graduated, my family thinks I should think about my marriage now instead of continuing to go to school.”

She said, “My family is a businessman, and my father has already booked my marriage for me, so can I invite you over when I get engaged?”

Zhu Yuyan immediately showed great interest, “Is it a Japanese wedding? Please be sure to let me attend.”

Jia Zi’s eyes were bright and her smile was friendly and beautiful as she smiled, “Ahhh, you really do like Japan. Unfortunately, I can only have a Western-style wedding in China, and I won’t be able to have a formal wedding until I return to Japan. I would love to wear a wedding dress though. When I have a wedding in my hometown, I can invite you to it, and you can visit my hometown. My home is in Miyagi.”

Zhu Yuyan: “Miyagi ah ……”

Yoshiko asked curiously, “Do you know Miyagi?”

Zhu Yuyan: “I know there’s a Japanese guy with the last name Miyagi who’s a player.”
