The dinner was held in a warm atmosphere, with leaders at all levels attending the dinner and guests drinking freely as they witnessed and looked forward to the glorious future of the “Western International City”.
All present toasted to Li Chengyun, a heavyweight.
Infected by the city and bureau leaders of Yanjing City at the chief table, the drinking atmosphere at the adjacent table became more and more cordial.
Yang Qing, the elegant and plump secretary of the Chairman of the Dragon Python Group of Companies, lifted her gla*s of wine and said softly to Zhou Peng, who was sitting beside her.
“Captain Zhou, it’s a pleasure to meet you, I’ll have to ask you to take care of anything my little sister has to do in the future.”
Zhou Peng raised his cup and clinked it with the cup in Yang Qing’s hand and said, “Secretary Yang is very kind, here again, I also borrowed flowers to offer Buddha, to the completion of your company’s Western International City, if there is a need for me in the future, please Secretary Yang feel free to ask, I will definitely serve the dog’s horse …… ”
The company’s main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to the public.
Yang Qing was also quick to shake the gla*s of wine dry, then, picking up the bottle of Wuliangye handed over by the waiter, personally poured it into Zhou Peng’s gla*s and then poured wine for himself.
“Captain Zhou’s words are too much,” Yang Qing said while pouring the wine, smiling charmingly, “What kind of service is that? If you don’t mind, let’s call each other brother and sister in the future, what do you think?”
“Yes, it’s an honour to know such a beautiful big sister like you!” Zhou Peng made a flattered look, then lifted his wine gla*s and clinked it once again with the gla*s in Yang Qing’s hand, then put it to his mouth, raised his neck and blew it dry with a mouthful.
After the two of them drank three gla*ses of wine in succession, Yang Qing then clinked her gla*s to the other deputy bureau leaders.
As the saying goes, a woman comes with three points of alcohol.
Yang Qing was worthy of being Zhao Wenlong’s new secretary to the chairman of the board, and drank more than a dozen gla*ses of wine at a single sitting, showing a face that did not change its colour and a heart that did not jump, which was really admirable.
When Zhou Peng saw how spontaneous Yang Qing was, he was not willing to lag behind, so he offered to clink gla*ses and drink with her.
“Big brother, I can’t drink any more, if I drink any more I’ll get drunk,” Yang Qing pointed to the big beauty beside her and said, “I know big brother isn’t having enough fun here, in a while, let Miss Ma take you to Red Capital City to sing and drink!”
“Ah? Red Capital City nightclub?” Zhou Peng looked at Ma Xiaoli with a wary gaze.
“Captain Zhou, have you ever been to our place to play before?” Ma Xiaoli guffawed.
“No …… no ……,” Zhou Peng said with an embarra*sed look as he didn’t want to mention what happened last time.
“Then all the more reason to go to our place and have some fun, in the future, our nightclub still wants you, Captain Zhou, to cover it!” Ma Xiaoli pretended to look like she had no idea.
“Miss Ma, you’re welcome,” Zhou Peng saw Ma Xiaoli put gold on his face, smiled politely at Ma Xiaoli and complimented her, “You really deserve to be the head of Red Capital City nightclub, beautiful appearance, elegant temperament …… ”
“The first thing you need to do is to get to know the people who are in charge of the nightclub. ”
“I don’t need any pillars, it’s enough for you to accompany me!” Zhou Peng waved his hand repeatedly and said.
When he thought of the last time when Fan Yan, the head waitress of the nightclub in Red Capital City, introduced twin sisters named Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao to him, and the three of them were fooling around in the hotel room, he was beaten up by the bald man and others, he had a feeling of “once bitten by a snake, ten years afraid of a well rope”.
“Oh,” Ma Xiaoli smiled sweetly and said, “Captain Zhou, I’m not for sale, I never accompany customers to the table, don’t you hit on me, yo?”
“Why?” Zhou Peng asked with a slight interest.
“Because I’m a supervisor in a nightclub, what if I go AWOL and get fired by my boss? If I lose my job, who will support me?” Ma Xiaoli explained.
“It seems that your boss is a cheapskate who doesn’t know how to behave and is not solemn about human affairs.” Zhou Peng said playfully.
“Hee hee, our boss is sitting right next to me, don’t you dare denigrate him to his face?” Ma Xiaoli laughed.
“Huh?” Zhou Peng dropped his gaze to the man sitting next to Ma Xiaoli, only then did he realise he had lost his tongue and said awkwardly, “Mr Yang, sorry, just now ……”
“It’s okay, I know you were joking,” Yang Wenbin said with a smile, “but Ma Xiaoli is right, we have a rule in the nightclub that supervisors and foremen are not allowed to accompany guests to the tables, if you insist on asking her to drink with you, I have no problem with that and am willing to break this precedent for you ……”
“Since it’s your nightclub’s rule, don’t go against it, I was only joking with Miss Ma, why take it seriously?” Zhou Peng said crowningly, “Besides, as a criminal investigation team leader, I am not suitable to enter an entertainment place like a nightclub, let alone need any person to accompany me to sit on the table.”
“Today’s situation is special, Chairman Zhao Wenlong of the Dragon Python Group of Companies has asked me to make arrangements to invite the guests who come to the dinner party to dance, sing and drink together at our Red Capital City nightclub in a while, how spoilery would it be if you don’t attend?” Yang Wenbin explained.
“I …… I’m really not good at this, better forget it!” Zhou Peng said, shaking his head.
“Since Captain Zhou doesn’t want to go, I won’t force it, after everyone finishes eating, I’ll arrange for you to go to another place, do you think that’s okay?” Yang Wenbin suggested.
“Let’s talk about it then!” Zhou Peng replied noncommittally.
……
In a concert hall on the 6th floor of the Yanjing International Hotel.
The music was soothing, the lighting was soft, and the entire room was filled with pink grunge, butterfly flower wind chimes, and flowing gauze, like a fairyland.
This place is different from the performance hall where powerful music is played and the crowd of demons dance around, revealing a psychedelic, dream-like tone everywhere ……
The gra*s is green and the flowers are in full bloom.
The butterflies linger for a long time
A thousand years of love
I’ll never forget my love for Zhu Yingtai
……
As if by magic, the cla*sical music of “Liang Zhu” comes out from behind a pink gauze tent, where a pair of beautiful twin sisters are sitting.
One of them is seen with a guitar and the other with a lute.
The piece was played to perfection by their ensemble, showing the perfect combination of modernity and antiquity in a way that was pleasing to the eye and mind.
Zhou Peng sat at a table in the corner. Although he did not know much about music and did not have any musical cells, he was still infected by the cla*sical masterpiece “Liang Zhu” and the exquisite performance of the two sisters.
With the rhythm of the music, his fingers tapped lightly on the table while his unblinking eyes stared at the pair of sisters behind the light pink tent.
Instead, his mind flashed back to the last time when he was entwined with the pair of sisters named Big Qiao and Little Qiao at the Red Capital City nightclub ……
