The mage in the late Qing Dynasty

Liu Jiahui couldn't help but smile as she looked at Zhao Chuanxin who was busy and attentive to everyone.

Bring tea and water, arrange chairs to sit down, and ask Toad Boy to book a hotel so that he can rest in time for the night...

Shuangxi and Li Guangzong were flattered.

"Old Mrs. Zhao" used to be a man who only knew how to lie down on a chair, waiting for someone to take food directly to his stomach.

Since when have you been so diligent?

Could it be that what he often said, "I'm just diligent and not obvious" is true?

Shuangxi said: "Passing a salary, this is really impressive to me after three days apart. I have never seen you so diligent and discerning."

Zhao Chuanxin waved his hand quickly, with a face full of humility: "Low-key, low-key, although I am very good, but if you look around, who is not a progressive young man?"

Sure enough, the taste is still the same and will not change in ten thousand years.

Next, Zhao Chuanxin didn't care whether Li Guangzong, who was tired of work, still had the energy to work, so he started to talk about the progress he had made so far and his future plans.

People who can be model workers are usually energetic.

Li Guangzong looks gentle and gentle, and now he even wears a pair of myopia glasses.

In fact, I can't help but run and walk every morning, occasionally go to the gym to exercise, and sometimes go to the shooting range to practice shooting.

In short, as the saying goes, Lugang Town does not support idlers.

After listening to Zhao Chuanxin's words, Li Guangzong said excitedly: "Sir, you have completed the most difficult part for me. If you don't do it well next time, I will report it to you."

Zhao Chuanxin: "Don't be like this, I'm afraid, it's so bloody."

"..."

It’s not a big deal to catch the wind and wash away the dust, eat, drink and entertain, and then go to the “strong female” for a massage.

Li Guangzong is not that amazing talent, not as sharp as Li Ziyu.

But he did everything in a flawless and meticulous manner.

The night before, he did not rest directly after dinner. Instead, he endured his exhaustion and took notes with a pen and paper on a map of Hong Kong Island. I watched this for two hours, going through Zhao Chuanxin's rough plan several times in my head.

It was not like Zhao Chuanxin's extensive management. The next day he sent people to summon Jin Yacheng, Liu Wang and others to discuss with them the opening of a new store.

At first, Jin Yacheng and the others seemed very unconvinced by the new "Yankee"'s orders.

Why did you become the deputy head as soon as you arrived?

As soon as a feasible expert takes action, he will know if there is one.

When Zhao Chuanxin gave him suggestions, they just felt enlightened and the clouds cleared.

But Li Guangzong didn't give any suggestions. He directly started analyzing and making plans, explaining everything in detail from the aspects of project establishment, scale, budget, future prospects, etc., and arranging their next actions.

A group of rough guys could only listen, and they didn't know where to start if they wanted to refute.

Although the construction of Lugang Town was guided by a general policy of Zhao Chuanxin, the person who actually implemented it was Li Guangzong.

He can build a town, and naturally he can also plan the Xuantian Sect.

Originally, Zhao Chuanxin and Jianxuan Tianzong probably had the intention of playing around, and it can be said that it is unprecedented for a commercial group to have such a fairy name.

But Li Guangzong did not think it was child's play, but conscientiously improved various rules and regulations within the clan, praising the good and criticizing the evil, and making clear rewards and punishments.

This allows the people within the sect to follow the ladder of progress and rules, but they must also be restricted from acting rashly.

Jin Yacheng, Dakou Chang, Liu Wang and other leaders of various halls can only obey.

The boss is awesome, I'm going to kneel down.

Not only Jin Yacheng was convinced by them, but Zhao Chuanxin was also convinced.

When he took a pile of materials sent by Li Guangzong and flipped through them, he grinned almost to the back of his ears.

"Guangzong has the talents of Wang Zuo. Guangzong alone is like a fish in water!"

Li Guangzong smiled bitterly when he heard that Zhao Chuanxin was also called a loner and a widower. "Of the people recruited by Mr. Zhao, the only one with management skills is King Liu. The rest are just coolies at the bottom and can hardly make a difference. We are short of manpower."

"There are a lot of people in Hong Kong. If you pick out the people wearing glasses in the crowd and fight back, you can always build a team."

Only Zhao Chuanxin would come up with such a bad idea.

In fact, there are many schools on Hong Kong Island, and there are a lot of young people who want to be educated.

Li Guangzong added: "Midun invited us to the dinner. He also deliberately explained that because there is no hostess in the family and it is inconvenient to go to Hong Kong Island for some reasons, the dinner will be held at the Island Hotel."

Not having a hostess at a reception is considered rude, and not having a banquet on Hong Kong Island is considered disrespectful, so I made it clear.

Being a bachelor and a Jew brought Midun a lot of trouble.

Zhao Chuanxin doesn't matter.

Li Guangzong has come to Hong Kong Island, and he does not plan to stay here for a long time.

Before leaving, it was necessary to pave the way for Li Guangzong, so he agreed.

The Island Hotel was built near the sea and was one of the tallest buildings on Hong Kong Island at that time, with six floors.

Speaking of this hotel, I have to mention "Brother Haonan".

Many people believe that the "Hong Xing" in the comic was made up and that the prototype is Xin Ngee Ann, which has not yet appeared.

In fact, this is not the case. Hongxing has appeared since the second half of the last century, and its leader's name is Hong Fu.

They first started by contracting construction, that is, contractors.

Later, I somehow got a stake in the Hong Kong Island Hotel. It is said that this matter is related to Yuan Datou from the Mainland and the former celebrity Zhao Bingjun.

It is possible that the boss behind this Hong Kong Island Hotel is Zhao Bingjun.

In any case, Zhao Chuanxin led a group of people to the Island Hotel.

At this time, Hong Kong Island has become a little cooler. Hong Kong Island is the driest in this season and it will not rain for a long time.

Since Midun and the others were wearing suits, Zhao Chuanxin dressed up in leather boots, jeans, beige overalls and shirt suits in a unique way.

Although he was wearing a suit, it was not a tuxedo, and he wore a black cowboy hat instead of a top hat. He had no bow tie, no tie, not even a cufflink.

For comfort, the chest buttons of the shirt were casually unbuttoned, revealing a strong chest.

Only Li Guangzong was the most decently dressed. Evening dress, shiny leather shoes, beautiful bow tie, civilized stick, top hat...

At the entrance of the Hong Kong Island Hotel, Zhao Chuanxin patted Li Guangzong on the shoulder: "We represent the working class, so we should dress like this, don't worry. You are the protagonist today, as long as you give Midun face, that's enough."

He also stood back thoughtfully and gave the first place to Li Guangzong.

Not to mention, Li Guangzong, who was wearing an evening dress, was really quite impressive with Zhao Chuanxin and others behind him.

Work clothes are actually the uniforms of Xuantian Sect. We are usually wage earners. What would we wear if we don’t wear work clothes?

The doorman at the door of the Island Hotel was a little confused when he saw this posture.

Because the Island Hotel is currently one of the best hotels, it has always been a place for foreign exchanges, and people who usually come and go are either rich or expensive.

Although these people in front of me were dressed cleanly and neatly, at first glance, they did not look like the clothes they should wear on formal occasions.

Except Li Guangzong at the front.

Therefore, even though there were many people on the other side, he still stretched out his hand to stop them.

"Sorry, sir, you can only go in alone."

Li Guangzong was stunned: "Why?"

The doorman pointed to the sign that said: disheveled people are not allowed in.

Shuangxi had a very hot temper. When he saw that this man was Chinese, he actually looked down upon him.

He was immediately furious.

Just as he was about to step forward, he was stopped by Zhao Chuanxin.

Zhao Chuanxin took out a bottle of ink and a brush, dipped it in the ink, and stepped forward to write.

The doorman looked at it and wondered, "What's wrong with this?"

Just as he was about to stop him, Shuangxi held his neck with one hand.

This man's arms were strong and muscular. He could hardly breathe with one arm, let alone move.

Zhao Chuanxin covered the original handwriting and wrote: Foreigners and dogs are not allowed in!

He put away his brush and said to the blushing doorman: "Look, can't we go in now?"

Shuangxi then let go of the doorman.

The doorman twisted his sore neck and said angrily: "Very good, you are here to cause trouble. Just wait for me!"

With that said, he angrily ran back into the hotel.

In the blink of an eye, twelve powerful men came out with sticks.

No one saw it, but someone was quietly observing all this through the glass inside the door of the Island Hotel.

Zhao Chuanxin was dumbfounded. Is this a "FIT man" coming to challenge the special forces?

The quite skilled men selected from various halls of the Xuantian Sect were sweating nervously on their foreheads. On the other hand, the faces of the people from the Lugang Town Insurance Team were unusually calm.

They just silently took out their guns and loaded them.

Then, these big men with sticks stopped.

Shuangxi's pistol dropped by his side and he stepped forward silently: "You are carrying a rolling pin and want to set up a flowing mat?"

No one said a word, and some people's faces turned red.

It's an anticlimax, it's embarrassing.

Liu Jiahui laughed after hearing Shuangxi's words, which was very unkind.

At this time, a middle-aged man who looked pampered for a long time came out of the door.

"What is this doing?"

A big man turned around and said aggrievedly: "Hong Sheng, these people are here to cause trouble. They have guns."

At this time, Li Guangzong stepped forward and said, "Hello, I am Li Guangzong, deputy head of Xuantian Sect and representative of Lugang Town. I came to the banquet at the invitation of Governor Midun."

When the middle-aged man heard this, he raised his eyebrows and shouted at his own people: "You are already blind, how dare you neglect this distinguished guest?"

He knew that Li Guangzong was coming, and Li Guangzong was at the top of the banquet invitation list.

The doorman pointed at the logo modified by Zhao Chuanxin's graffiti.

After seeing the words "Foreigners and dogs are not allowed", the man's expression changed. He hurried forward and wiped the words clean with his sleeve.

Then he turned to look at Li Guangzong: "If you do this, I'm afraid the Governor will be displeased."

He wants to use Midun's reputation to dominate others.

Zhao Chuanxin would definitely not let Li Guangzong offend anyone. He said with a smile from behind: "Go and tell Midun, just say that Zhao Chuanxin is coming and ask him to come out to greet him."

The middle-aged man surnamed Hong didn't know who Zhao Chuanxin was, but he wouldn't foolishly ask Midun for instructions. He glanced at the wiped-off sign, thought for a moment and stretched out his hand: "Please!"

Just pretend this didn't happen.

Zhao Chuanxin felt that he was not the protagonist today, so he kept following behind.

After entering the door, he found a waiter who kept peeking at Li Guangzong in front of him.

When he noticed that Zhao Chuanxin was looking at him, he quickly turned his head.

This made Zhao Chuanxin have more questions in his mind.

On the invitation list, there were only three people, Zhao Chuanxin, Li Guangzong and Liu Jiahui.

As bodyguards, Shuangxi and the others could only guard outside the hall.

Zhao Chuanxin said: "What are you going to do? Go down and find a place to eat and drink, and come back when it's almost over."

Shuangxi did not refuse, leaving only one person sent by King Liu to wait for orders, while the others were taken away by him.

After entering, Li Guangzong and Liu Jiahui walked directly towards Midun.

Midun was more willing to communicate with Li Guangzong and Liu Jiahui than Zhao Chuanxin.

After all, everyone seems to be polite and polite, with at least eight levels of civilization, while Zhao Chuanxin only has two levels at most.

He originally thought that this place was dominated by foreigners, but Zhao Chuanxin saw many Asian faces.

He wormed his way into the crowd without any stage fright.

"Hello, madam, your smile is so charming."

"Hey, how old is this young lady? Where does she live? Has she ever been married?"

Because of his tall figure and delicate skin, the good-looking Zhao Chuanxin did not suffer the glares from women, but the men in the same industry glared at him.

Would Zhao Chuanxin care about this?

There is everything here, unlike the "De Da Western Restaurant" and "Kaisling Western Pastry House" during the Republic of China and other original Western food.

It should be the craftsmanship of French chefs, such as bomb ice fruit, salad, champagne sturgeon, lamb spine and Burgundy red wine, etc.

In Zhao Chuanxin's eyes, there is no difference between native creation and authentic creation.

He started directly, picked up a piece of fish on the dinner plate and stuffed it into his mouth, eating it in two or two bites.

Walking forward, I saw beef again, so I reached out and grabbed a piece.

But I didn’t drink. Neither red wine nor white wine can match the energy of a glass of kvass. It doesn’t have much alcohol content, but it’s very energetic and refreshing to drink.

There was an adaption student next to him, and Zhao Chuanxin pulled him over: "Go and ask the chef to make me three burgers, or I'll be hungry soon."

If you only eat meat, even if your stomach is full, you will feel hungry within two hours, and you still need to replenish carbohydrates.

Adaptation is difficult: "Sir, the chef is French, there is no German food."

The hamburger was originally invented by the Germans. Currently it is only popular in the United States as a fast food and is not available on the table.

"If he can't sandwich two pieces of bread with a lettuce leaf and some beef, what else can he do?"

The adaptive students were stunned.

It seems that this is also the case.

He had no choice but to give it a try.

Zhao Chuanxin set his sights on braised meat with original sauce again.

He knows a thing or two about cooking, and he knows that this thing is tenderly fried meat cubes, paired with a light white sauce. What tastes good is really good, and what tastes bad is really bad. It all depends on the sauce.

So, I tentatively took a piece and tasted it, and the taste was acceptable.

Then there was a woman with an S-curve shape and a low-cut long skirt next to her. She successfully attracted Zhao Chuanxin's attention with the lines of her back.

Zhao Chuanxin, a lover of beautiful buttocks, has really bad eyes.

He spoke glibly as usual: "Hi, ma'am, I really want to see what the person whose bare back makes me fascinated looks like."

The woman turned her head in surprise.

Zhao Chuanxin was stunned, his head was buzzing.

The woman's face was full of joy: "Ethan, why are you here?"

It was none other than Zena Keith, whom Zhao Chuanxin had had a sword-fight with.

Looking again, sure enough, there was a short figure not far away. It was her husband Chao Haiguang, but he was talking to others and did not see what was going on here.

Zhao Chuanxin looked around guiltily and found that Liu Jiahui and Li Guangzong were far away, and they were having a lively chat with Midun.

He said thiefly: "Zena, don't say anything, I sneaked in because I found the food here is delicious."

As he said that, there was an insect silk scarf in his hand. The scarf fluttered and quickly rolled up the invitation in the pocket of a man passing by.

With the scarf in his arms, Zhao Chuanxin took the invitation and "secretly" showed it to Zena Keith: "I just stole this person's invitation."

Zena Keith was still suspicious at first, but she saw that the invitation read: After Henry Bronte,

She believed it.

Zhao Chuanxin threw the invitation into the trash can.

Zena Keith said angrily: "You are really, it would be so embarrassing if this were discovered. If you had met me earlier, I could have found a way to bring you in."

She still can't forget the charm of that sword.

"It's no big deal. I'm not a celebrity, so why should I care about face? In fact, I'm bankrupt and very poor now."

"Huh?" Zena Keith exclaimed. "Oh my God, how could you go bankrupt? What have you experienced in such a short period of time?"

Zhao Chuanxin, who has at least seventh-level acting skills, looked full of sadness: "To be honest, I have been betrayed by my friends, abandoned by my relatives, and beaten by officials. In short, it is difficult to describe it."

He secretly looked at Zena Keith's expression, hoping that she would "give up on the difficulty".

After all, this woman was with Chao Haiguang just for money.

However, reality disappointed him.

Zena Keith's face was filled with concern: "God is so unfair to you. Ethan, don't worry, I can lend you a sum of money to help you get through the current difficulties and not sneak into the banquet to eat."

What?

I, Zhao Chuanxin, actually have a day where I have to eat soft rice?

Zhao Chuanxin was shocked.

Has it turned out that my strength has secretly reached this point?

He was secretly happy.

However, now we must find a way to get rid of this woman.

Because the last time he went to Japan, the port was under martial law, and he saw Asahi Hikari talking to the Japanese military police. Maybe people had already suspected him.

You can make your opponent look like a fool, but you can't really make him look like a fool.

He was upright and awe-inspiring: "What do you mean, am I, Ethan Zhao, a freeloader? Obviously, I am not!"

"You misunderstood." Seeing that Zhao Chuanxin had "hurt his self-esteem," Zena Keith hurriedly explained: "Ethan, I didn't mean that. This is just mutual help between friends, just like you bought my paintings before. , I was greatly encouraged. Later, my works were really welcomed and sought after to a certain extent!”

That day, Zhao Chuanxin spent a lot of money on paintings and boasted about it when he returned to Haiguang.

Art is something you praise and I praise and everyone praises it.

Asami Hikaru is not just talking nonsense, but he has actually had a lot of money recently, which makes people believe it.

As a result, Zena Keith's paintings gradually sold a few pieces and received praise from the art world.

Zena Keith's gratitude to Zhao Chuanxian is sincere.

"That's not okay!" Zhao Chuanxin said righteously: "I bought your paintings because I think they are valuable for collection, not to help you. It's because of your artistic level. Now, if you want to give me money, you are looking down on me. I!"

At this time, Zena Keith was so moved that Ethan still cared about her self-confidence.

She just wanted to go up and hug Zhao Chuanxin and kiss him hard.

But he quickly realized that the mood was right, but the situation was wrong.

"Okay, Ethan, where are your paintings? I want to buy them back!"

Zena Keith decided to save the country in a roundabout way and help.

"I'm sorry, I value that painting very much. Even if I go bankrupt, I won't sell it. You should give up."

Zena Keith's eyes were red.

Not only were the circles under my eyes red, but they were also watery. It didn't look like she was crying, but rather...

I can’t figure out what kind of emotion it represents?
