Before I could ask clearly, Yueyue said that she still had to deal with the urgent matter of practicing ascetics and would see her at six o'clock tomorrow afternoon.
After that, let the camel arrange for us to rest.
After Luo Tuo arranged a place for us, he asked us what we wanted to eat. He sent for the best cook.
I wanted to take my companions to visit Foreigner Street, but I refused.
After all, there are not many opportunities to take companions out. It is just a good time for him to take a look at what China has developed into in the thousands of years since Dashang.
Lao Jiang, me, and Banban, the three of us started feasting on the street. Banban actually liked eating pan-fried buns. Each of us ate more than a hundred, which made the boss’s eyes almost fall out.
"Is this handsome young man a descendant of the Heavenly Chixing Star?"
We also watched a movie in the evening and continued eating, drinking and having fun the next day until almost six o'clock in the afternoon.
In the courtyard, Yueyue joined us with the peacock and camel.
The peacock was wearing a red dress and a blood-red veil. Her graceful figure revealed only a section of her snow-white waist, making her look like a charming and enchanting female cardinal.
"Little brother Jinglan, we meet again."
As soon as she said hello to me, her eyes fell on her companion: "Hey, the handsome boy from last time is here too?"
"I don't know if you are married or not. I have prepared the dowry. There is a box of gold and silver jewelry. Let's blow out the candles and count them slowly tonight."
Peacock hooked his fingers at Banban, eager to sell himself out right now.
Banban was so uncomfortable that she hid behind me. I asked the peacock to be more reserved. After all, they are different species, so don’t take advantage of our Banban.
After saying that, I looked at Luo Tuo and Yueyue.
The camel is still the same as before, with a scimitar hanging from its waist, strong muscles, its entire back is hunched, and the skin on its face is sallow and dry.
But Yueyue was completely different. Her short hair turned into long hair, and she wore a red shirt worn by ascetics.
In fact, her facial features haven't changed much, but I don't know if it's because of her makeup, her clothes, or her temperament. In short, the Yueyue in front of her is no longer the cynical female college student, but a calm, measured, smart and capable strong woman.
"Li Jinglan, let's get acquainted again. My name is Gu Niannian!"
Yueyue stretched out her hand towards me.
When I heard this name, I was slightly startled. When Master Diao was alive, Yueyue tried desperately to distance herself from him, and even used her mother's surname.
But now she was finally willing to acknowledge Diao Ye as her father, and took the initiative to use Diao Ye's surname.
And if you keep reciting that word, there will be an echo.
Is it because she is also missing Master Diao?
I held my hand tightly with Yueyue and replied, "My name is Li Jinglan. Please give me your advice in the future!"
"Okay, everyone is here, let's set off!"
Following the loud roar of the camel, a few of us took the bus to the Paramount Hotel.
The Paramount Hotel is located in a wealthy area of Shanghai and is run by a mysterious French boss. It is known as 'the best hotel in the East'!
Yueyue told me that Paramount is divided into three floors. The first floor is a luxury restaurant, the second floor is a dance floor, and the third floor is a hotel.
Ordinary people who want to have a romantic candlelight dinner here are short of money. But this time Xue Jingxiang actually booked the entire hotel, which shows her strong financial resources...
The reception dinner started at seven o'clock, and we arrived at half past six. We were obviously punctual, but the two foreign waiters raised their heads arrogantly: "Sorry, this place has been reserved by Miss Xue! If you want to have a meal, please go there Elsewhere, if you are attending a meeting, please wait until the doors open at seven.”
"If you enter the venue at seven o'clock, it will be too late!" the camel shouted.
The two foreigners were indifferent and still guarded the luxurious glass door.
Luotuo was furious and was about to explode. I quietly pressed his shoulder and said, "Brother Luotuo, we are here to do business today. Don't make matters worse. Just wait for half an hour."
So we could only stand in the cold wind, looking extremely embarrassed.
Even if Lao Jiang wanted to smoke a cigarette to relieve his boredom, he was stopped by the foreign waiter: "Sorry, sir! Smoking is strictly prohibited here."
I was just about to persuade Lao Jiang to put out his cigarette when I saw a fat man in a tuxedo, surrounded by two bodyguards, about to enter the Paramount. He had a cigar in his mouth and glanced at us arrogantly as he passed by.
The strange thing is that when the foreign waiter saw him, not only did he not let him put out his cigarette, he even opened the door for him with a smile!
what's the situation?
Is this a difference in treatment?
Lao Jiang and I looked at each other, and the foreign waiter responded matter-of-factly: "Mr. Zhang has a noble silver card, so he is naturally different from you."
Hearing this, Yueyue, who was watching the theater behind her, finally sneered: "I said why do you think we are so disgusted with you? It turns out that we are dissatisfied with our mediocre clothes and lack of invitations."
"First, I am Chinese and I don't like your foreign rules."
"Second, if Miss Xue hadn't invited me, I would never have come to this concession in my life!"
"Third, does Frank, the boss behind you, think that once he has established a firm foothold in Shanghai, he will look down on me for renouncing me?"
Yueyue said the last sentence word by word, and it was obviously a confession.
As she spoke, she threw out an invitation in a nonchalant manner.
The highest level invitation, the gold invitation!
Above it is Xue Jingxiang's most respectful tone, begging for the ascetic to be able to support her.
Although Yueyue's words were light and airy, they were weighed down by the two foreign waiters, whose faces were pale and they didn't dare to breathe. They kept wiping their sweat with a handkerchief nervously: "Dear guests with golden invitations, please forgive us... I'm extremely sorry."
Luotuo deliberately asked in a loud voice: "Miss Nian is the most beloved daughter of Master Diao. Can we enter this door?"
"Can we get in?"
When they heard that the other party was actually Diao Ye's daughter, the two foreign waiters Jian Shu were frightened.
Although Lord Diao died long ago in the Dunhuang Desert, no one knows the truth.
What everyone saw was that Diaoye returned to Shanghai alive and reorganized the Buddhist monks. Under his superb management, the Buddhist monks had already covered the sky with one hand and controlled both black and white.
The foreign waiter opened the door and respectfully invited Yueyue to come in.
However, Yueyue never moved an inch, and after a while she said coldly: "You can see the sun tomorrow if you want, but now go out and shout a hundred times with your loudest voice, I look down upon others!"
It was obviously a deliberate move to make things difficult, but the two waiters rushed out as if they had received an amnesty.
They want to save their lives more than being embarrassed.
When leaving, I asked Yueyue if this would be too much? Yueyue smiled: "People like them have bullied many people in their country, so we should kill their prestige and let them know how to write the word 'respect'."
After entering, I found that there were three-story pavilions on the west side of the entire Paramount, surrounding the central stand like stars over the moon.
Red rosewood seats are placed on each floor of the pavilion, and West Lake Longjing tea is placed.
And in the central stand, with dazzling lights, those two priceless treasures have been placed!
