Shanghai morning

After get off work, just as Wang Yao stepped out of the gate of the foreign firm, he was suddenly stopped by an uninvited guest.He was unhappy but had to ask respectfully: "Mr. Honda, what are you doing?"

The person who came was Honda Ju. He was not tall, but because of his thin and well-proportioned figure, he was wearing a long black coat that fitted him. He seemed to be taller than his actual height. At first glance, he was tall and straight. man.

"Take the liberty to visit, is Wang Sang free now?" Honda Ju asked with a smile, his smile was like the expression of a cold-blooded animal before attacking its prey, and his deep black eyes stared straight at Wang Yao like a bottomless pit.

Wang Yao couldn't help shivering, he felt as if he was naked, being seen through by Honda Ju's icy eyes.

Seeing that Wang Yao didn't answer, Honda Ju was not in a hurry, he stared sharply into Wang Yao's eyes, saw through Wang Yaoqiang's calm appearance, and flinched uneasy.

"Wang Sang, you seem to be unwell?" Honda Ju approached a little closer and asked with a raised voice.

Wang Yao took a step back in shock. Behind him was the steps inside the door. He stepped on the air and lost his balance and fell backwards.Before the expected collision pain came, he was caught by an arm, turned his face in surprise, and met Honda Ju's soul-stirring eyes.

"Be careful, Wang Sang." Honda Ju sneered.

"Thank you." Wang Yao thanked him coldly.

"You haven't answered my question just now, do you have time now?" Honda Ju asked, or pressed.

"I have to go home and cook for my sister now..." Wang Yao wanted to find an excuse to leave, but he really wanted to go back and take care of Wanwan after school.

"In Japan, cooking is a woman's business." Honda Ju folded his arms, with contempt in his eyes.

"This is in China." Wang Yao suppressed his anger.

When the two were at a stalemate, Arthur came out and saw Honda Ju and Wang Yao talking, he couldn't help asking in surprise: "Mr. Honda, why are you here so late? Is there something important?"

Honda Ju's attitude towards Arthur was much more respectful. He smiled politely and said, "Mr. Kirkland, I have nothing to do with work. I invite Wang Sang personally."

As soon as Arthur heard it, he immediately said to Wang Yao: "Since Mr. Honda's kind invitation, of course you should accept it." He didn't ask what Honda Ju invited Wang Yao to do.

"But..." Wang Yao looked at Arthur as if asking for help.

"It's nothing but," Arthur interrupted him, "You have to be polite! Go!" After speaking, he couldn't wait to push Wang Yao lightly on the back. This action brought Wang Yao closer to Honda Chrysanthemum.

Wang Yao looked at Honda Ju, then at Arthur, he knew he had no choice.

Walking side by side with Honda Chrysanthemum on the streets of the Bund, it was late, the lights were on, and under the gloomy sky, the gray and white tall western-style buildings gave people a sense of endless vicissitudes.

The prosperity of Shiliyangchang is always particularly charming after night falls.

A gust of river wind blew, Wang Yao tightened his coat, but he couldn't make himself any warmer.

"Is it cold? Wang Sang?" Honda Ju asked almost close to Wang Yao's ear.

The cold voice will only make Wang Yao want to tremble even more.

"Mr. Honda, what do you want from me?" Wang Yao kept a distance from Honda Ju calmly.

Honda Chrysanthemum paced slowly but not carelessly: "I just want to share with Wang Sang, you won't refuse to appreciate this face, will you?"

Wang Yao asked suspiciously: "But I invited you earlier, but you refused?"

Honda Ju's smile became even colder under the dim street lights: "I'm sorry Wang Sang, but I think I should be the dominant party in our relationship."

Wang Yao stared at this man who was a little shorter than him, and he couldn't see much emotion from the other's delicate face, but Honda Ju gave people a strong sense of oppression, as if declaring to the world that he wanted to control everything .

After passing Nanjing East Road, the two walked to the door of a coffee shop under No. [-] on the Bund. Honda Ju made a gesture of invitation: "Wang Sang must be cold, don't you mind coming in for a drink? I treat you."

That was the place where Al invited Wang Yao to drink coffee before. Seeing the familiar signboard, Wang Yao couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and followed Honda Ju into it in a daze.

Wang Yao unconsciously walked to the place where he sat last time, and Honda Ju sat opposite him—the place where Al sat before.

Wang Yao hasn't seen Al since the Paramount ball.At that time Al asked him to wait for him, but he left without saying goodbye in a very rude way. He wanted to apologize to Al afterwards, but he didn't have the chance.Maybe Al has already returned to China, Wang Yao sometimes thinks so, he doesn't have the guts to ask Arthur about Al's situation.Wang Yao has always disliked foreigners, but now he faintly misses that brilliant blond hair and those clear blue eyes, which are more like the color of the blue sky than the gloomy sky of Shanghai.

The waiter's voice interrupted Wang Yao's fugue: "What would you like to drink?"

Honda Ju looked at Wang Yao with a smile, and he gave him the priority, but that expression made Wang Yao feel that this was not politeness, but caring for the weak.

After thinking for a while, Wang Yao said, "I want the coffee in a blue cup." Al ordered the last time. Wang Yao didn't know the name of the coffee, and he didn't like coffee, but the one with the gold border The sky blue cups resemble Al's eyes, which amuses him.

"Be the same as him." Honda Ju said to the waiter.

The coffee and desserts were served quickly, and Honda Ju generously pushed the whole plate of snacks in front of Wang Yao: "I don't like this, you can eat them all—oh, by the way, women love these desserts the most." thing."

This sentence is an obvious insult, but Wang Yao can't attack it.Maybe Honda Ju was taking revenge, last time at Paramount, Wang Yao spilled the wine in front of him.In any case, it was Arthur's order to associate with Honda Ju, and Wang Yao didn't want to lose his job yet.

"Is Wang Sang missing someone?" Honda Ju suddenly said, "Someone who likes to use blue cups, or someone who brought you here." His tone was meaningful, with a half-smile Staring at Wang Yao.

Wang Yao inadvertently let out a "huh", his expression softened, and there was a trace of warmth in his eyes.

"Is it Wang Sang's lover?" Honda Ju suddenly asked.

Wang Yao was stunned for a moment, his face was a little hot, and he quickly denied: "Where! I just thought of a friend."

But the bright color floating on the pale cheeks did not escape Honda Ju's sharp eyes. A trace of displeasure flashed across his eyes, but he immediately returned to a mask-like smile: "It's a good thing to miss someone, and it's even more happiness to be missed." .”

Wang Yao knew that he couldn't neglect the Japanese, so he forced a smile and said, "Then Mr. Honda is even happier. Mr. Kirkland always mentions you and hopes to deepen cooperation!"

Honda Ju waved his hand and said: "Mr. Kirkland is nothing more than wanting to deepen the trade partnership with Yokohama Specie Bank. I heard that CA-CIB has just rejected your loan request. It seems that Mr. Bonofova offended a certain Miss Qianjin."

When mentioning this embarrassing matter, Wang Yao didn't know how to answer: "I don't know much, this is Francis' private matter."

Honda Ju's eyes suddenly deepened: "Wang Sang, you are a smart man, I think you should know that I am not just the heir of Yokohama Specie Bank."

Wang Yao nodded: "Mr. Honda is still the Japanese royal family, with noble blood."

Honda Ju smiled with satisfaction: "Yes, I am the blood of the Emperor's family. I am not a businessman who only knows money and interests. My true identity is a soldier."

Wang Yao stared at Honda with wide eyes. Why does this young Japanese nobleman still have the status of a soldier?

Honda Chrysanthemum picked up the coffee cup elegantly, sipped it, and glanced at Wang Yao, who was restless, from the corner of her eye from time to time.Finally, he said unhurriedly: "I am a person of faith, and a small Shanghai cannot satisfy my ideals. What I am about to realize is the great blueprint of our Great Japanese Empire'Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere'. As a Chinese, you are very outstanding. There is an old saying in your Chinese that "the one who knows the current affairs is a good man". I hope Wang Sang can choose a good branch to live in, stand on our side wisely, and help us realize this great plan together. .”

Wang Yao's hand covering the coffee cup was trembling. Because of his excitement, he could hardly control his emotions: "What does it mean to stand on your side? Be a traitor like the woman next to you?"

"Wang Sang's words are wrong!" Compared with Wang Yao's anger, Honda Ju is much calmer and calmer, "The development of history has always been to replace the backward with the advanced, and to eliminate barbarism by civilization. Only the sober people choose the Great Japanese Empire It should be done. The future belongs to the Great Japanese Empire, and no country can refuse it." After he finished speaking, he knocked the empty coffee cup upside down on the saucer with a little force, making a crisp sound, as if the whole world was in his hands held in his hand.

"What China should look like, I'm afraid you are not the only one who has the final say! As for my future, don't worry about Mr. Honda!" Wang Yao stood up with a "swish" and strode away from the coffee shop. Disgusted Honda Chrysanthemum.

Honda Ju leaned back on the chair leisurely, sneered at the place where Wang Yao sat and the unfinished coffee.He reached out to pick up Wang Yao's cup, brought it to his lips, the bitter aroma of coffee filled his nostrils, he took a sip lightly.
