Chapter 624
Regarding Chen Yongren's literary talent, Youqichuangongjingxiang also holds it in high esteem.
Their academic exchange was suddenly interrupted by a phone ring.
Ding-ling-ling~
"Hello?" Chen Yongren answered the phone.
"Chief Director Sir."
From the other end of the line came Anda Ershisan's voice.
"Uncle Anda, are you done with your work?" Chen Yongren said, laughing as he talked on the phone and played a game with Youqichuangongjingxiang.
"Chief Director Sir has arrived; no matter how important the matter, I should wrap it up quickly." Anda laughed and said: "Tonight at 8 PM, at the Sasaki Family Izakaya, I have reserved the whole establishment specially to welcome you and cleanse you of travel dust."
"The dishes at this place are quite good; I remember that you and Jingxiang returned together to Northern Peace."
"It's said that she has become your fiancée?"
"Heh, our two families are already engaged." Chen Yongren laughed: "We plan to marry after two years."
While speaking, Chen Yongren glanced at the time; it was already 7 o'clock, leaving an hour until 8.
Time really flies.
"Yo, that's great; tonight you can bring her along so I can meet your fiancée." Anda laughed.
"Really? Uncle?" Chen Yongren said in a low voice.
"Of course no problem; this is just a private gathering, and I'll also make some arrangements for your upcoming affairs." Anda added.
Arrangements?
Chen Yongren's heart stirred—this sounds like work has come up!
"Heh, uncle, rest assured, Jingxiang and I will definitely be there on time." Chen Yongren hung up the phone.
Youqichuangongjingxiang's expression held a hint of resentment as she clung to Chen Yongren's thigh, saying: "Chief Director Sir, I'm tired; I want to lie down for a while…"
"At 8 PM, Uncle Anda is treating us to dinner." Chen Yongren gently pinched Youqichuangongjingxiang's cheeks: "The time is about right; we can get ready now."
Hearing that, Youqichuangongjingxiang reluctantly nodded.
The two took a hot shower, tidied up, changed clothes, and then headed to the Sasaki Family Izakaya by car.
As for Lin Ke Xin,
She also clearly knew she had no reason to stay by Chen Yongren's side, so she could only remind him to drink less and wait for them at home.
Sasaki Family Izakaya.
A military department staff officer was to dine here, so naturally there were many military police stationed outside.
Under the leadership of a military police captain, Youqichuangongjingxiang linked arms with Chen Yongren and walked into the shop.
The interior consisted entirely of private rooms, with no open dining, thus ensuring great privacy.
A flirtatious madam in a black kimono, taking small steps, approached the two and bowed slightly.
In her thirties, with her hair coiled up.
The kimono could not contain her curvaceous figure; any slight movement would cause the fabric to tighten, and the cherry blossoms on her chest would bloom accordingly.
Tsk.
This woman really knows how to use her advantages.
"Miss Sasaki, these are the guests invited by the General; please take care of them." The military police captain was very courteous toward this female proprietor.
"Heh!" Sasaki Makoto smiled and bowed.
Huh?
Something's fishy!
Even though he's a lieutenant officer, he's being so polite to an izakaya proprietor?
Chen Yongren casually opened the scanning eye, glanced at the landlady's identity, and didn't expect to actually make an unexpected discovery.
Name: Sasaki Makoto
Age: 32 years old
Origin: Riben·Ishikawa Prefecture
Current identity: landlady of Sasaki Sake House
Recent situation: because of Anda's pursuit, she is very troubled, as her former husband died on the front lines, and she does not want to get involved with military personnel again.
Yo, fuck, kinda interesting.
Anda this old bastard still has good taste, actually took a fancy to a widow.
However…
This Riben young widow looks quite good, her figure is also great, she has a bit of the charm of Ishihara Satomi, and even more so than Fujiwara Rena, she has a bit more flavor.
Such a good dish, giving it to Anda 23 this old dog is such a waste.
Sasaki Makoto's eyes showed a hint of surprise.
Anda actually wanted to invite this young couple?
"Landlady, can you lead the way?" Chen Yongren asked.
"Sorry, I was rude, please this way." Sasaki Makoto slightly bowed, guiding Chen Yongren to a finely decorated area.
Here there are mountains and trees, and even a small river was made along the private rooms.
If you stay too long you won't fear getting rheumatism, Chen Yongren muttered to himself.
"Mr. Anda is waiting for you inside." Sasaki Makoto pushed open the sliding door and made a gesturing invitation.
"Chief Director Sir."
Inside, upon seeing Chen Yongren enter, Anda nodded slightly, glanced at Jingxiang, then shifted his gaze to Sasaki Makoto and gave a slight bow.
"Makoto-chan, from now on I'll trouble you."
Zuozuomuzhenqin bowed slightly, smiled and nodded, then closed the push door and left.
After the door closed, Chen Yongren saw that Anda's face still retained a smile.
Chen Yongren also saw through Anda's thoughts; the present situation showed that choosing to dine here was merely one motive, but foremost he wanted to help Zuozuomuzhenqin drum up business.
Damn it.
Handling private matters publicly, and again using public funds.
Those little Japanese devils everywhere are all the same.
"Uncle, the person has already left; what are you still looking at?" Chen Yongren said with a smile.
Anda stared, then snapped back: "I wasn't."
Chen Yongren didn't dwell on it, his expression saying he understood.
Anda lightly coughed twice to hide his embarrassment, then looked at Youqichuangongjingxiang and asked: "Chief Director Sir, this…"
"Uncle, this is my fiancée, Youqichuangongjingxiang." Chen Yongren said to Youqichuangongjingxiang: "Youqichuangongjingxiang, this is Uncle Anda."
"Uncle Anda." Youqichuangongjingxiang sweetly smiled: "Chief often mentions you to me, saying he wants to become a soldier like you; today I finally get to see Uncle Anda's heroic bearing."
Youqichuangongjingxiang is very clever, knowing what to say when needed.
"Don't listen to Chief's nonsense..." Anda said he didn't want to, but his expression betrayed him: "Youqichuangongjingxiang is truly a lovely girl; no wonder our Chief is so enamored of you."
The two began mutually praising each other's business.
"Uncle, are you trying to forget me?" Chen Yongren interjected appropriately.
"I almost forgot Chief." Anda looked at Chen Yongren and said: "Chief, this time you and Youqichuangongjingxiang have come to North Peace; are you planning to stay long term?"
"Or wait until your factory opens, then return to Riben?"
"The factory is secondary, Uncle Anda; I came mainly to stay by your side and study diligently, after all, back in Jinmen…"
Saying this, Chen Yongren's expression showed a hint of sorrow.
Anda immediately understood that the "Yuan Chief" referred to Chi Mu Chengping, who, unable to bear the pressure, committed suicide to apologize.
"I want to become an outstanding Imperial soldier and catch the culprit who caused Uncle Chi Mu Chengping to commit suicide!"
Hatred can cloud a person's eyes, but it can also let a boy grow up quickly.
Anda nodded satisfactorily: "There are no vacancies in the military posts for now…"
Hearing that, Chen Yongren's expression fell.
"But I can work something out to let you stay in the military as an exchange student..." Anda pondered and said: "From now on you…"
