MTL - After Waking up Beside the Villain-Chapter 185 Go to "Pear Garden of the Republic of China" 29 Doctor Chu, you...
Gao Lan's reception banquet was quite interesting.
First of all, if this type of banquet is called a reception banquet, most of them are so-and-so. This is to receive friends from afar, and to wash away the dust. Even in such an era when the new and the old are alternately impacted, and strange things are emerging in an endless stream, but I have never heard of myself hosting a banquet for myself.
But this does not mean that Gao Lan's books that are full of culture have really been read into the dog's stomach, but this banquet held in Wanghailou, originally It was Adams who came to greet Gao Lan and led Gao Lan to see the dignitaries in Haicheng.
This was prepared more than a month ago, but now that Adams, the master, has suffered misfortune, the banquet has no plans to end there.
Obviously, Gao Lan is not someone who can't even hold a banquet by himself, so his move is nothing but an expression of his attitude, and he is still standing on the German side .
After coming to Haicheng for nearly a month, after meeting countless people, no matter what Gao Lan thought in his heart, he still insisted on his original choice on the surface.
In other words, after being trapped by Yu Jing, she had to stick to her choice.
This is not a good thing for Chu Yunsheng and Yu Jingzhi, but it is by no means a bad thing.
The time for the reception was set at seven o'clock in the evening.
On this day, Chu Yunsheng and Yu Jingzhi arranged everything, one in formal clothes, the other in military uniform, and drove towards Wanghailou.
Wanghai Building lives up to its name.
This high-rise building was built during the Daoguang era. It is a traditional Chinese building standing in the middle of countless foreign houses. The mahogany beams, the plaque with gold characters on the blue background, and the fire red hanging under the eaves lantern.
At this time, many restaurants known as Western restaurants were painted outside, but the inside was still the Eight Immortals table and long benches. However, Wangjiang Tower is the exact opposite of these restaurants. Its surface is not much different from those of the old restaurants in Peiping, but the interior is very western, and it is not much different from the famous Pujiang Hotel and Peace Hotel in Haicheng.
As soon as Chu Yunsheng came to this world, he met the dance held by Yu Jingzhi.
It was in the Golden Mansion, a half-ocean building rarely seen in Peiping. If it wasn't for Yu Jingzhi's roots, and he deliberately kept a low profile, it should have been more lively and brilliant.
But the ball at the Golden Mansion cannot be compared to Gao Lan's banquet.
The gate of Wangjiang Tower has been surrounded by soldiers with live ammunition, not only the team brought by Gao Lan, but also many foreign faces , Look at the uniforms should be German people.
& nbsp;
& nbsp; Invite Yu Jingzhi to the banquet.
Everyone sat at a table, wrangling, and re-dividing rights.
This is the rule on the table, and it cannot be broken easily.
Welcome at the entrance of the hotel are Gao Lan's adjutant and a German second lieutenant.
Seeing Chu Yunsheng and Yu Jingzhi coming together, no matter if it is true or not, the smiles on the two people's faces widened a bit, and they attracted a lot of enthusiasm Two distinguished guests entered.
Tall and magnificent arches, majestic and elegant columns, and exquisite stained glass, in a dark wood structure and snow-white lacquer, together This splendid and atmospheric Western-style hotel is formed.
The intricately shaped chandelier hangs high, emitting a large amount of bright light.
In the largest banquet hall of Wangjiang Building, the reception banquet has begun, which is a Western-style buffet dinner. There are long tables in the hall, and there are people everywhere. Most of the people who came into view were dressed in western clothes, neatly dressed and in high spirits. The guests chatted and laughed, and the music filled the ears.
Chu Yunsheng and Yu Jingzhi entered, followed by Lu Yun and Liu Er respectively.
There are not many guests like them who came a little later, so as soon as the door of the banquet hall was opened, Chu Yunsheng felt a lot of betting eyes.
"Mr. Yu is here."
Gao Lan's adjutant's voice was neither high nor low.
Even if he didn't say it, there were few people in this hall who didn't know Haicheng Yu Jingzhi. Several people came over immediately, greeting Yu Jingzhi respectfully.
Not far away, Gao Lan, who was held in the moonlight by the stars, also walked quickly, seemingly completely forgetting the unpleasantness of the last meeting, Lang said with a smile: "Who am I? It turned out that Mr. Yu came. No wonder the hall was quiet for a while, but it was captured by Mr. Yu's demeanor."
"I don't know who this is..."
His hospitable gaze moved to Chu Yunsheng next to him, revealing a little doubt.
Yu Jingzhi smiled politely and said in a natural tone, "Welcome Mr. Gao to Haicheng. This is my friend, Chu Yunsheng."
"Chu Yunsheng—Doctor Chu?"
Gao Lan's expression changed slightly, and he blurted out subconsciously.
At the same time, more eyes were watching in the hall, with different meanings, but not too many unfamiliar ones.
Clearly, Chu Yunsheng, who played an important role in Adams' death, was put on the spotlight by various forces after he broke up with Louis. in the list.
Only after that, Chu Yunsheng stopped working in the hospital and lived a secluded life. Many people knew his name and saw his photos, but they really saw him Yes, but not many.
Gao Lan's eyes were full of strangeness.
He paused for a while, with a stunned look, he stretched out his hand to Chu Yunsheng friendly, and said with a smile: "So this is Dr. See you."
Chu Yunsheng had anticipated the reaction of the people present and did not care. Since he chose to appear here openly, he was naturally prepared.
"Mr.
Chu Yun's voice was flat, and he shook hands with Gao Lanxu.
Gao Lan smiled and looked at Chu Yunsheng again, and said kindly: "I heard that Dr. Chu has studied abroad and achieved excellent results in university, which is rare. A genius, seeing him today, he really deserves his reputation, he should be considered a young talent. After returning to the country, can you still get used to it?"
"By the way, someone told Gao that Dr. Chu had always wanted to set up a factory by himself. After this year, can it be done?"
These words may seem like greetings, but they reveal obvious guidance and temptation.
Yu Jingzhi glanced at Gao Lan with a half-smile, but said nothing, tilted her head and took two glasses of champagne from the waiter's plate.
“Nowadays, there are many people doing business, but few are doing well. Chu knew that he was not suitable for running a factory and doing business, so he gave up the idea and changed it. The hospital." Chu Yunsheng took a glass of champagne from Yu Jingzhi's hand, looked at Gao Lan, and replied lightly.
His attitude was normal, but when people around him saw Yu Jingzhi handing him a drink, they were all secretly surprised—
Yu Jingzhi's attitude towards this doctor is unusual. Could it be true that the intelligible information is true?
"So, that factory didn't work?"
Gao Lan was surprised, looked at Yu Jingzhi with a smile, and said, "Dr. This Haicheng up and down, no one should give some face. If Haicheng is inconvenient, Dr. Chu might as well come to Jiangbei to see, Gao is also looking for some like-minded friends and wants to build a pharmaceutical factory. "
Since the news of antibiotics leaked out, the word "pharmaceutical company" is not insensitive.
At this moment, the door of the banquet hall opened again.
The conversation ended, Chu Yunsheng followed the eyes of everyone, but saw that it was none other than the Englishman Peter, who brought the French Julian, a big man active in the social arena, and a tall man with an unfamiliar face wearing a US imperial uniform.
The three were followed by Du Tianming whom they had not seen for a long time.
Since Tianminghui was slashed by Yu Jingzhi, I felt a little helpless, and many industries and sites were gradually eroded by Jiuliuhui. Yingjili occasionally shoots behind his back, making Jiuliuhui a little afraid. Such Tianminghui would probably have long lost the status of the second largest gang in Haicheng.
In today's era, the torrents are surging, and the underground forces in Haicheng are also rising.
Under such a situation, Du Tianming's pressure can be imagined. Fortunately, he is also a person who is used to kneeling. He doesn't feel ashamed to bow to Pete. He turns around and can still change his face and be domineering among those yellow faces.
It's just a change in power, so that his waist is no longer so hard in front of Yu Jing.
"This is James of the American Empire, who just came down from the battlefield in Europe not long ago."
Walking to one place, after a simple greeting, Pete introduced.
Gao Lan immediately shook hands with James and talked with James, and led everyone to a resting sofa.
As they passed, the people at the banquet smiled and nodded to greet Pete and others, but they were a little more enthusiastic than facing Gao Lan.
Several people sat down to chat, and the waiter brought wine.
"Whiskey?"
Pitt raised his glass to James.
"No, no need, Pete. You know, our Navy prohibits alcohol." James said, looking at the valet, "Sir, please give me a glass of ice. water, thank you."
Pitt laughed: "Actually, it doesn't matter if you drink a little, the war is over, it's time to rest."
"It's not accurate, Pete." said Julien, the Frenchman with an artist's temperament, "Maybe it will have to wait until this month, or next month, when the European When that meeting is over, the war is truly over. This requires patience and caution, otherwise it is likely to cause some unnecessary disturbances.”
Speaking of the European conference, several foreigners could not help but swept their eyes to the four Chinese people present.
Chu Yunsheng noticed these glances, and he was also observing the others present.
Pete was still casual, like he was just talking about small things.
James smiled and pulled a cigar from Julian's cigarette case. Julian didn't smile, with some obvious other meaning in his eyes. Yu Guang looked at Yu Jingzhi.
Yu Jingzhi didn't seem to notice Julian's scrutiny. Wei Wei tilted towards Chu Yunsheng a little, and lazily looked for a support.
The exact opposite of him is Du Tianming, who is sitting at the very edge, with half of his **** hanging from the sofa chair, and everyone is only posing with a smiling face.
Gao Lan glanced left and right, and suddenly said, "The European meeting has been going on for several months, and it should be time to end it smoothly."
Hearing this, Julian glanced at Gao Lan: "Oh, you China also hope that the European conference will end smoothly? I can't see it, Mr. Gao ."
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere here suddenly froze.
Some people who wanted to come over to toast smelled this strangeness, stopped and looked at it quietly.
Zama, Gao Lan looked embarrassed, sighed, and said with a smile: "Mr. Julian, this must be a misunderstanding. As one of the victorious nations, China naturally It is to hope that the European conference will end smoothly and the world will regain peace. On this point, we and France are of the same mind."
Julian's expression softened slightly, his deep romantic eyes rolled, and said: "If this is what most people in China think, then Okay. But unfortunately, I have seen a lot of protest speeches and dissenting speeches during this time, and they are very loud and active in the streets, in schools, and in the newspapers."
"This makes me disappointed in China. We in France are very eager for peace to come."
Gao Lan said: "Mr. Julian, please believe that this is just an extremely rare individual phenomenon. Most Chinese people advocate peace and respect the European Conference. result."
"Oh yeah?"
A smile gradually appeared on Julian's face, and he said, "What does Mr. Gao usually like to do?"
"I like to play golf." Gao Lan also laughed.
He doesn't really like golf, but he does like all Western and modern things. This is the same as he hates foreigners, but is happy to make friends and discuss interests with them.
He called it one yard to one yard.
Then, Gao Lan and Julian chatted about golf, and they seemed to have a good conversation.
This is a scene of a Chinese and several foreigners. Seeing this, Chu Yunsheng has a general understanding of the purpose of Gao Lan's hosting of this banquet today - to fight Under the banner of Germany, he said that he hoped France would believe him, but I am afraid that the real thoughts in his heart are not side by side with these two families.
And Julian, as if he was really persuaded by Gao Lan, deftly lifted the past, not to mention the European conference.
But seeing his expression, Chu Yunsheng felt that this matter was obviously not the past.
He seemed to be waiting for something.
Sure enough, within a few minutes, at the door of the banquet hall, two more people came in one after the other. These two people are not far away, but they are distinct, and their expressions are unfamiliar.
The first to arrive was the titular Oriental tycoon Kotaro Yoshida, who was in a hurry with sweat on his forehead, obviously it was really late, not because The identity or the bad relationship with Gao Lan is deliberately late. The former can be seen from the three of Pete, and the representative of the latter is naturally Yu Jingzhi.
He stood tall and short, smiling politely at some familiar people.
When he found this sofa among the guests, his smile became more sincere, and he pushed back some toasters and walked over quickly.
And after him came Louis of France.
This is also an acquaintance, but Chu Yunsheng feels that people who are acquainted with him and Yu Jingzhi don't seem to be doing well recently, such as old age Many Du Tianming, such as Louis, who was pushed in a wheelchair by a servant at this time, with gloomy eyebrows and unwillingness.
Seeing this corner of the most powerful group of people in Haicheng, Louis' face changed, and he turned his head and whispered to the servant. , and then head here.
Chu Yunsheng sighed as he looked at the two figures.
Good one you sing and I will appear.
"Mr. Yoshida, long time no see!"
"Louis, I didn't expect you to come. Your injury hasn't gotten better, do you need me to recommend a doctor for you?"
After a brief conversation in English mixed with a little French, Yoshida Kotaro sat on the chair beside Pete, Louis put the wheelchair next to Du Tianming, and the same Julian, who was French, looked obviously unfamiliar.
Even though I just tore off my face not long ago, gun to gun, and sold out each other's secrets and intelligence like crazy, but at this moment, sitting around At one table, everyone is really like old friends for many years, warm and friendly, chatting openly, showing the hypocrisy and wonder of human beings to the fullest.
Chu Yunsheng found the seating distribution here really interesting.
As long as someone takes a ruler to measure the distance between the sofa and the sofa, and the distance between the person and the person, they can easily distinguish the similarities and differences between the close and the close, and the position and interests.
"What were you talking about, gentlemen?"
Yoshida Kotaro asked with a smile.
"Just chatting," said James.
Julian said: "It is about the discussion of the European conference, I think Mr. Yoshida will also care about this."
"Of course, Mr. Julian." Yoshida Kotaro glanced at the several Chinese people present, his eyes were divided between Yu Jingzhi and Chu Yunsheng After a pause, his smile became more modest, "We Dongyang are very longing for a peaceful world, and we are willing to use our strength to defend peace."
Julian smiled: "I am very relieved, Mr. Yoshida. This is enough to prove that we are like-minded friends. You know, I am very disgusted with those who are not peaceful If there is any problem, you can sit down and talk about it, there is no need to use guns."
"As Mr. Gao told me, most Chinese people are peace-loving and support the outcome of the European Conference, I would like to believe this. Or there are some people , and didn't want to believe our sincerity and belief, but that's okay."
"I don't support those who go to the streets to shout strikes and strikes, like Mr. Fang Jiming Fang's door-to-door visit, I am willing to accept it."
Chu Yunsheng changed his sitting position slightly.
He probably knew what these people were going to say.
Sure enough, the next second, Pete said: "Is that so, Julian? Mr. Fang has also been to my place, but I think I and your answer It's the same. We're all outsiders to the European meeting and have absolutely no role. I'm very sorry for not being able to help him."
"But I know that Mr. Fang is very sincere, and I am very interested in the magic drug he brought. In fact, a long time ago, I heard it mentioned by a scholar in China."
Julian raised his eyebrows and smiled: "It's the kind of drug called penicillin, they classify it as a class of antibiotics, antibiotics, this is also It's a new term. I can't believe this is a drug developed by Chinese people, it's very unusual."
Yoshida Kotaro's eyes flashed, and he said, "Listen to Mr. Pete, this drug should be the first to be discovered by the English."
At this time, Gao Lan showed a little stunned look just right, and turned to look at Chu Yunsheng: "Doctor Chu, I heard that this medicine is by Mr. Yu's side. It was developed by one of the doctors of Philip, so shouldn't it be you? If I remember correctly, the country where you studied before seems to be England?"
In just two sentences, everyone's attention was drawn to this two-seater sofa that had been silent.
See pics.
Yoshida Kotaro said unintentionally, and added to Gao Lan: "This is really a coincidence, I have not seen this Doctor Chu, but Doctor Chu is Yu's friend, shouldn't be shameless enough to steal other people's research results, right?"
"This is the second time I see Dr. Chu. But this is the first time I heard that Dr. Chu went to England to study, is that so, Dr. Chu? "
Pete asked, looking at Chu Yunsheng with a smile on his face that used to hold a gentleman's demeanor.
One after another line of sight nailed it like a knife.
As a result, half of the sofa chairs are dimmed, like a small moth corpse covered by a turquoise lampshade, stiff with edges and corners .
But some of them recovered from that stiffness—
Chu Yunsheng's eyes slowly swept across the faces of foreigners or compatriots, his expression was calm and indifferent, but the words he said were quite Surprisingly.
"Penicillin is indeed the result of my stealing from Mr. English Fleming, but in this world, I am indeed the first person to discover and develop penicillin ."
He said seriously.
This is absolutely true.
But as soon as the contradictory truth came out, everyone in the room was successfully stunned. logic.
Even Pete, who has been strategizing from beginning to end, is confused-everyone knows that he is just looking for a random reason to justify and **** that drug. , Why did Chu Yunsheng really admit it? Moreover, who is this Fleming, how have you never heard of it?
Suddenly, there was a moment of silence between the sofas.
Yoshida Kotaro opened his mouth to say something.
But before he could change the rhetoric of inducing questioning in his throat into a righteous condemnation, Chu Yunsheng said again: "However, I think Mr. The scholar in question is not Fleming."
"If Mr. Pitt has any doubts about this, he can go back to China and develop penicillin with the scholar himself. After all, the scholar predates me and Mr. Fleming , found it. It should not be a problem to develop into a drug and mass-produce it."
He paused, and his voice was cold: "Or, rather than returning to China to develop, what Mr. Pitt wants is the ready-made one that I and Mr. Yu have in hand. Medicine?"
The fig leaf was covered and covered, and it was ripped off in the end.
Pete's expression slowly sank, and he did not speak.
Julian looked at Chu Yunsheng seriously, but suddenly smiled: "Doctor Chu, your pride and self-confidence are actually very ridiculous to me."
He shook his head and sighed: "You must know, this is the British and French Concession. Like you, these people live in this rotten and old coffin-like country. The reason why people who can breathe this fresh, free and noble air comes from the concession and the gift we have come here."
"The country of China does not have the knowledge you have learned, nor can it produce sophisticated machines. Your knowledge is learned from England, and the instruments and machinery you use come from Europe and North America."
"Dr. Chu, maybe your gratitude is wrong."
Speaking, he glanced meaningfully at Yu Jingzhi beside Chu Yunsheng.
A ding.
The champagne glass with only a light layer of wine left wiped the edge of the tablecloth and the dinner plate, and was placed on the table by a slender hand .
The owner of the hand leaned into the large sofa chair, the military boots were lifted and rested on the lap.
He raised his eyebrows, showing a gentle smile that was very different from his present indulgent gesture, and then said in Chinese: "Julian, don't follow me. Fart here."
