1325: C1325 Flattery of the Emperor

C1325 Flattery of the Emperor

The emperor's reaction was quick. He immediately greeted Lei Zheng with a smile, "Hello, Secretary Lei. Good evening, Secretary Lei. Secretary Lei. You've come here to eat in person. "

The Emperor was just spouting nonsense. What was the point of coming here at this time?

The Emperor's flattering and even humble manner of speech towards Lei Zheng caused me to unconsciously have a few more scorn and disdain towards him.

I stood there and looked at Lei Zheng expressionlessly.

Lei Zheng stopped walking and looked at me and the Emperor. He first glanced at the Emperor, then looked at me: "Oh, you guys. "We also came here to eat."

Lei Zheng's words were obviously unnecessary, but even so, he was obviously surprised that I was here with the Emperor.

After saying that, Lei Zheng suddenly smiled and nodded at me.

I smiled back and nodded.

"General is treating Boss Yi to dinner tonight, I sent Boss Yi up." The King continued to bow as he said, "The General is waiting for Boss Yi in the Hibiscus Courtyard."

"Oh." Lei Zheng couldn't help but look in the direction of the Hibiscus Chamber, then he looked at the staircase we just came out from.

It seemed that Lei Zheng didn't know that Wu De was going to ask me out for dinner tonight. It seemed that Lei Zheng had some thoughts about me and the Emperor not taking the elevator and walking up the stairs.

"Did the general invite Secretary Lei to dinner as well? Are you going to the Hibiscus Courtyard as well? " The Emperor continued.

"Oh." Lei Zheng was surprised for a moment, and then said: "Hehe, no, I have a guest from the province who came to entertain us tonight. So Boss Wu also had a meal here tonight. So Boss Wu and Yi had an appointment to eat here tonight. Heh heh, good, good. "Why, why didn't you two take the elevator up?"

The Emperor said, "There are a lot of people coming to eat. The elevator has a lot of people. I was afraid that Boss Wu would panic and climb the stairs with Boss Yi."

"Yes." Lei Zheng nodded. He seemed to think that the Emperor's explanation was reasonable. He looked at me again and said, "Yi, long time no see."

"I haven't seen Secretary Lei in a long time." "No," I said.

"Boss Wu is treating me to dinner tonight. I would really like to join in on the fun, but unfortunately, I still have a guest here." Lei Zheng said.

"Secretary Lei is Big Leader, it's a busy day with thousands of opportunities. Boss Wu and I are on a private date, how would we dare to bother Secretary Lei?" I said, "Of course, if Secretary Lei condescends, you're welcome to come over and have a drink."

"Hur Hur, you guys go ahead. I have to accompany two tables of guests tonight. It's bad enough that I have time." Lei Zheng said.

"Then Secretary Lei, you go ahead." The Emperor said.

"Yes." Lei Zheng looked at the Emperor again, and then glanced at me again. Then, he brushed by the Emperor's shoulder and left.

"Hello, Secretary Lei." The Emperor said to Lei Zheng's back with a smile.

After Lei Zheng walked over, the smile on the Emperor's face suddenly disappeared. He then nodded at me and raised his voice by a few decibels. "Boss Yi — please —"

It seemed that the King's greeting was meant for Lei Zheng, who hadn't gone far.

The Emperor and I headed directly to the Hibiscus Room. Opening the door, we saw Wu De sitting in the middle of the room, with a leisurely expression on his face as he looked at the menu.

Seeing me enter, Wu De sat there motionlessly with a smile on his face: "Boss Yi is here. "Come, sit down."

With that, Wu De pointed to the seat beside him. The King immediately went to pull out the chair.

It seems that Wu De and I are the only two who will be eating tonight.

I sat down without hesitation and nodded at Wu De: "Boss Wu. Sorry to keep you waiting. "

At this moment, the Emperor came close to Wu De's ear and whispered a few words. Wu De's eyelids slightly twitched, then he nodded and calmly said: "Alright, alright, I understand."

The Emperor winked at me.

I immediately guessed that the Emperor seemed to have told Wu De about meeting Lei Zheng in the corridor.

Then, Wu De said to the emperor, "You can leave, and tell the waiter to serve the meal."

The King nodded and then smiled at me: "Boss Yi, you take a seat. I'll go."

I nodded towards the Emperor. "Thank you for bringing me up here personally."

"Boss Yi, you're too polite." After saying this, the Emperor left.

Then the waiter pushed the door open and began to serve the wine.

"Boss Yi, please smoke." Wu De pointed to a box of Chinese cigarettes placed in front of me.

Wu De didn't smoke that much, so he saw him do it occasionally.

I pulled out a cigarette, lit it, took two slow puffs, and looked at Wu De.

Wu De looked at me with an enigmatic smile.

"Boss Wu has been doing pretty well recently, right?" "No," I said.

"Fortunately, he's still living quite comfortably. "What about you, Brother Yi?" Wu De said.

"Thanks to Boss Wu, I'm still alive. Seems like, it's quite enjoyable." I laughed.

"I'm glad to see you live so well." Wu De nodded.

"I heard that you are living a very comfortable life, so I'm also very pleased." "No," I said.

"Hur hur. Thank you for your concern. " Wu De said.

At this point, the dishes were done and the waiter poured out the red wine.

Wu De raised his glass and said, "Bro, let's toast to the both of us who are still living happily."

"Okay, let's do —" I lifted my glass.

Putting down the glass, I said: "It's rare that Boss Wu still thinks about me even though he's busy. It's rare that you treat me to a meal." When I received your invitation in the afternoon, I was very excited for a while. "

"Oh. Is that so? It seems that I should have invited Brother Yi for a meal a long time ago. Wu De said.

"There's no need to be polite if the revolution is not determined by day and night. It's not too late now." I unceremoniously picked up my chopsticks and ate the food. While nodding my head, I said, "Hmm, this oily and stuffy prawn is pretty good at cooking and tastes really good. Come, you should also eat some. Don't just drink and talk and not eat."

It seemed that the one treating tonight wasn't Wu De, but me. I started to persuade Wu De to eat.

Wu De laughed, picked up the chopsticks and ate a mouthful of food, then put down the chopsticks: "Since Brother Yi's appetite is so good, then you should eat more."

"Boss Wu is treating. I have to have good appetite, I have to." I continued to eat.

"Eat slowly, don't choke." Wu De said.

I looked at Wu De: "What, you're not going to eat? With such a huge table of dishes and such a sumptuous meal, wouldn't it be a pity to not eat? "

"I'll be full if I don't get hungry just by watching you eat. "You can eat as much as you want. I'll watch you eat as good as you want." Wu De said.

"Hur hur." Laughing, I put down my chopsticks. "I am a boorish person who has never seen the world. Was my eating in a very shameful manner earlier? I'm so sorry, I've been ridiculed by Boss Wu. "

"If Brother Yi is a boorish person who has never seen the world, then I, Wu De, would be even more like an old villager." Wu De said.

"Of course not, how can I compare to you? You're someone who has often traveled abroad to see the world." "No," I said.

"I'm afraid you're not a person who hasn't left the country." Wu De said.

Obviously, Wu De was referring to me sneaking across the border to the Golden Triangle and going to Thailand.

I grinned: "I really have never been out of the country. I'm not like Boss Wu, who can leave at will and go wherever he wants to go." I didn't see you a few days ago. I heard you went to Japan? "

"I was just about to report my recent whereabouts to you, I didn't expect Boss Yi and Brother Yi to already know." Wu De said.

"There's no other way. Who asked me to be so concerned about you." As I ate, I took a sip from my glass.

"However, even though I am abroad, I am still quite concerned about matters within the country, especially matters regarding Hsinghai." Wu De also picked up his wine glass and took a sip, then he slowly put down his wine cup.

"Hmm, looks like you're wearing a dress with a Chinese heart. It's rare, very rare." "No," I said.

"What you're wearing doesn't have to be related to what you're wearing, right?" Wu De said.

"Maybe, maybe, maybe." "Of course," I said, "you may be wearing Chinese clothes, but your heart has already gone somewhere."

Wu De's eyelids twitched as he looked at me without saying a word.

I put down my chopsticks and looked at Wu De. "Hey, man, why are you always looking at me? "Don't tell me I'm handsome?"

"That's right, you're handsome. I want to see you!" Wu De nodded.

"Alright, then take a few more glances. Don't miss the chance to watch it in the future." "No," I said.

"If we say that we don't have a chance to see it, then there are two possibilities." Wu De said.

"Yes, two possibilities. Either you won't have a chance to see me or I won't have a chance to see you." I took over Wu De's words.

"You're very smart." Wu De said.

"There's still a huge gap between us." "No," I said.

"I don't think there's a need to beat around the bush when smart people talk to each other." Wu De said.

"Yes, straightforward is the best." "No," I said.

"Your men are following me and my men." Wu De said directly.

I nodded. "Well, yes."

"The answer was very straightforward!" Wu De said.

"F * ck, you've already sent the notice of the feast through my people. What else do I have to act cool for?" I said, "However, Boss Wu, I also know that you must have been arranging for people to follow me. Or someone related to me. "

"You already knew!" Wu De said.

"Yes!" "No," I said.

"I knew you knew!" Wu De said.

"But you continue to stir things up." "No," I said.

"If you don't like it, I can ask them to come back." Wu De said.

"Goodbye. Retreat and send back a batch that was discovered, then send another batch that is more concealed. Is it useful? " "No," I said.1

"Hur hur. I'm afraid you are the same. " Wu De said.

"Maybe." "No," I said.

"You see how honest our exchange is." Wu De said.

"It's actually very tiring to keep up the act. It's not bad to be honest once in a while." "No," I said.

"Yes." Wu De nodded: "Actually, I want to tell you, the people I sent to follow you, you can understand them as surveillance, or you can understand them as yes."

"What is it?" "No," I said.

"It's to protect you and those related to you!" Wu De smiled.

I was stunned for a moment and then laughed out loud: "Boss Wu, look, look, I just said that acting cool is tiring, so you continued acting cool. You're so humorous. "

"Isn't it funny? I mean it. I really care about you. I want to protect you. " Wu De said.

"I absolutely believe your concern for me. I completely believe it, but to say that you're protecting me, I truly don't dare. Say, should I thank you or should I blame you?" "No," I said.

"Understanding or not is your problem. You can thank me, but you can also blame me!" Wu De said.

"Hehe, would you believe me if I told you that the people I send are protecting you?" "No," I said.

"This." Of course I do. I am truly grateful from the bottom of my heart. Otherwise, why would Taxi Driver, who you sent me here today, return unharmed, and why would I sincerely invite you here for dinner? " Wu De said.

"Eh. "It seems like I've misunderstood Boss Wu's good intentions." I said as I picked up my glass: "Come, Boss Wu, drink to your master, to your sincerity to me."

Wu De raised his glass with a smile.

After putting down the wine cup, I lit up another cigarette and took two sips. I looked at Wu De and said, "Boss Wu, you invited me to dinner tonight, I'm afraid it's not just to show your magnanimity and concern towards me. There must be something else."

Wu De said, "Yes."

"Speak —" I said.

"Actually, you also know that a while ago, I took my people to Japan to relax. I've only been back a few days. " Wu De said slowly: "After I came back, I found out through some channels that during my trip to Japan, something big happened at Hsinghai."
