……

When Yu Yao was packing the books in the office, the door was knocked several times, which startled the rest of the teachers.Yu Yao sighed, and patiently said to the students who came in front of him: "Be gentle when knocking on the door."

Dong Yibai said: "What are you calling me for?"

Yu Yao pushed aside a few books in front of the table and found a box of tin candy. When he opened it, he found that Xu Zhiyuan had already eaten half of it.He had no choice but to pick a few pieces from them, hand them over to Dong Yibai, and asked, "Do you want candies?"

Dong Yibai took it in a daze, and looked at him suspiciously.

"Yesterday they all came to eat, but you and Fu Shubai didn't come, can you use this to make up for it?" Yu Yao said, "I asked Tong Qiu to send Fu Shubai's share, I'm missing you."

Dong Yibai was taken aback for a moment, then remembered to put on an air, and said: "I...what do I have to do with them!"

Yu Yao didn't mention what it was, and took out another thing from the drawer.It was a school badge.Dong Yibai was too lazy to look for the one after it was lost, so the left front chest of the school uniform was always empty.

"I asked the general affairs office in the courtyard to make another one for you," Yu Yao put it on for him, and said, "Keep the school badge safe and don't lose it." After wearing it, he patted Dong Yibai's shoulder.

Dong Yibai seemed to have lost his temper, the smell of gunpowder from before had been cleaned up, and his uncharacteristically calm reaction attracted the attention of many teachers.Dong Yibai avoided his hand and said, "Have you finished?"

"Ah."

He put down the candy with a coffin face, and said: "I... I don't like sweets, you can leave it to Xu." After speaking, he walked out the door for a moment, as if he felt that this was not enough Vicious, he came back and slammed the door down.

The teacher sighed: "This young master is still the same."

Yu Yao smiled helplessly, his childish behavior probably reminded him of Xu Zhiyuan again, so when the smile disappeared, some powerlessness emerged.

After finishing speaking, he packed up the books in his hand and put them on his coat to go out.

As soon as the front door closed, he heard someone calling him.

"Mr. Yu, what a coincidence." The man in the black hat smiled, "I happened to be looking for you."

After seeing his face clearly, Yu Yao smiled at him, with a hint of danger, and said, "Hello."

……

"Mr. Yu, this is the third time we have met," the man said.

"Including yesterday, it's the fourth time." Yu Yao said.

"Oh... I almost forgot." The man smiled, looked at the lake outside the pavilion, and sighed, "Since it is known that this place is really good, one side of the water and soil supports one side of people, and I don't know how many talents will come out in the future."

"Many talents have gone out, but some students have gone far, out of Huai City, across the ocean, but it has become more and more difficult to come back." Yu Yao crossed his fingers on his lap, Looking at him, he said, "Mr. Mou, you were also a student of Jiming."

"It's all about creating momentum for the times, and choosing a path is not as easy as you imagine." This Mr. Mou knew what Yu Yao meant, laughed a few times, and said directly, "The editors of Xihua Newspaper are all Chinese, and the publications are all Chinese. Chinese characters, but it is the Japanese who decide to control its 'power of life and death'. Just like now, the above sentence is closed, and I, who is in charge of supervision and processing, have to struggle with editor Li. Don't I want to scold that Japanese Do people meddle in their own business? I would like to, but it’s hard to do.”

Yu Yao didn't listen to his sigh, and continued to ask without changing his face: "The past few times you came to me to say that you want to restrict student contributions and report on student activities, and you need my cooperation. What does Mr. Mou need my cooperation this time?"

"Editor Li is stubborn and insists on making it impossible for me and my superiors to get off the stage," Mr. Mou sighed. "Now there are only two options left, either change the editor-in-chief, or stop publishing Xihua Daily—of course, shutting down is just for singing. In the form of black faces, Xihua News Agency is the largest newspaper in Huai City, and Xihua Daily is also the largest newspaper, holding the thread of public opinion, we foreign masters will close it wherever they are willing to say."

"If your newspaper insists on dismissing An Rong, I think an outsider has no right to interfere with anything." Yu Yao said vigilantly, "You came to me because you have other things to do."

Mr. Mou smiled, and started talking about other things: "Master Xu's matter has caused you a lot of headaches recently."

Yu Yao's face darkened, and there was no kindness on his face, and he said, "What do you mean?"

"The young master has some bad diseases and plots against you?" He said, "You must know."

"You're thinking too much," Yu Yao said coldly, "It doesn't seem to have anything to do with what we're talking about."

"Since you say no, that's fine. I was also surprised when I knew this kind of immorality," Mr. Mou said with a smile, "I hope it's just that the classmate heard it wrong, or the young master just said it casually. It was just a joke."

Yu Yao sharply said: "That classmate?"

"I can't disclose this to you." Mr. Mou just threw a hook and joked, "Otherwise, where would we put our professionalism in inquiring about news?"

Yu Yao looked at him calmly.

"Telling this to Mr. Yu, I just want to tell you," he said, "Editor Li's reputation in the industry is very high, coupled with Mrs. Xu's status, it is very difficult for us to issue the 'dismissal letter'... "He lowered his voice and said, "...If we can stain her reputation, whether it is through you or his son, we will definitely do our best. Just like Mr. Dong Dong forced It's the same for you to dismiss, but this time, it's not a child's play that a child can cope with after rehearsing."

"It seems that 'that classmate' told you a lot." Yu Yao smiled, "What do you want me to do."

Mr. Mou laughed, stood up, walked around behind Yu Yao, and said, "It's nothing, but our master Dongyang wants to get acquainted with you, and I hope you can spare the time."

"I don't know any 'Oriental Masters.'"

"But he knows you," said Mr. Mou. "He told me that he saw you at a dinner party. You were playing the piano at that time. You were elegant and beautiful. He said he met you for the first time. When I saw you, I just felt sorry for each other, you must be his bosom friend."

Mr. Mou patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "He recently learned about your distress, and asked me to tell you that he can relieve your worries. If you want to stay in Jiming until you retire, no one will trouble you. Likewise... Editor Li will also leave Xihua Society with 'honour', and we will not interfere with whatever she wants to find a next home."

Yu Yao remained silent, and Mr. Mou left it to him to consider, gave him a business card, and said, "Twenty-six, that is, three days later, Jirui Hotel will hold a night party, and he hopes you can attend."

After all, he lowered his hat and took his leave.

"Please tell him, this is really an offensive meeting ceremony. Please ask him to practice his etiquette before meeting," Yu Yao took the business card, curled it into a ball with one hand, put it in his pocket, and walked away He replied, "Otherwise I can't help but teach him with my own hands."

……

"Jirui Hotel... is it the one that Wu Tongqiu's brother went to help?"

"That's right, the owner of that house is surnamed Jin, and he often comes to see Tong Qiu." Fu Shubai said. "He was the one who invited Tongqiu to attend the night party of Ershiliu."

"There will be a big night party in Huai City every few months. I've messed around with a few of them... But I really don't know who is hosting it and who is participating in it..." Xu Zhiyuan held his chin in one hand , hugged the slender waist of the young lady beside her, and asked softly, "Do you know?"

The ladies blame him for being hard-hearted. In a few months, he won't come here for a full year, and he won't say he misses it when he comes.Especially the young lady in his arms who was unsuccessful in climbing the bed at the beginning, kept annoyed at this dead ghost for being ungrateful and ungrateful. Just to laugh, I was willing to call out "Master Xu" one by one.

Xu Zhiyuan sipped his red wine, stared at the front expressionlessly, and said, "I chased someone before, so of course I have to be pure-hearted."

The girls asked with interest: "Did you catch up?"

Xu Zhiyuan remained silent.

"Does it need to be said?" Observing his expression, the lady in his arms fiddled with the buttons on his chest, and said, "It must be that ignorant person who doesn't know Master Xu, who is better than our sisters." It's far away, and now I'm back in the gentle town, right?"

All the red flowers and willows giggled and said: "Yes."

"..." Fu Shubai thought that it would be fine for you to provoke him, and he would step on the taboo.So he glanced at Xu Zhiyuan, and quickly smoothed things over: "Then let's continue talking about Ji Rui..."

Xu Zhiyuan put down his wine glass, and suddenly clasped the person in his arms tightly. The young lady let out a coquettish sound, but felt that Xu Zhiyuan's strength was very strange.The arm he was holding hurt a little.

"I'm a little sad," Xu Zhiyuan said with a smile, "I've seen a beautiful woman but I can't get it. I only have some frivolous rouge and vulgar fans to talk about for comfort. Who can bear the gap."

The hostess girl, who was extremely keen in observing words and expressions, immediately noticed the low and even dangerous low pressure on his body, and the air was quiet for a while.But after collecting the money, he had to say what he wanted to make the guest happy, so he snorted, left his arms, and complained: "Damn ghost, why did you lose love and smell like a stinky literati, people can't understand. "

"How can you catch up with the white moonlight in Young Master Xu's heart." The girl immediately changed the direction of the joke according to the atmosphere, and responded, "Look, rouge vulgar fan."

"You vulgar woman has the nerve to talk about me."

Seeing the guests have a slightly relaxed smile, the scene has a happy atmosphere of laughing and cursing.

Pushed away by Xu Zhiyuan's low pressure, they gathered around Fu Shubai again.Fu Shubai sat upright from the moment he entered the door, as if he had taken refuge in Buddhism and escaped into Buddhism.Seeing that they tended to surround her, she folded her arms on her chest and said with a smile: "I have family rules in my heart, so I won't accompany you."

The ladies mourned, but they would rather sit with Fu Shubai than go to the scary Xu Zhiyuan, complaining: "Disappointing, Young Master Xu is broken in love, Young Master Fu is in charge, what are you doing here..."

Fu Shubai pointed his chin at the person opposite, and said helplessly, "Ask your young master Xu."

"Okay," Xu Zhiyuan pushed the goblet, and quickly refilled him with red wine, he said, "I asked you just now, do you know anything about it?"

After thinking about it for a long time, the topic returned to the "Jirui Hotel" which had been dragged away.Thinking: "The party..."

"I do know a little bit," said one person softly, "it's just that it's a bit..."

Xu Zhiyuan put a few silver dollars on her lap: "It's okay, tell me."

"Thank you, Young Master Xu..." She said with a beaming smile, "I know a friend who is the owner of Liluofang."

"Liluofang is a folk team, and the leader is a young man in his early thirties named Niantang."

Some of them echoed, "Oh, boss, I know you too."

"The one in the Huai City Concession... a foreigner from any country invested in a big theater. When it first opened, it hired Liluofang to support the venue. The boss was so capable that he almost squeezed out the manager and became the top leader there."

Fu Shubai knew about Liluofang, but he was not very interested in these arts, so he knew little about it, but he could guess it along the way: "You mean to say that they once performed for a night party?"

"That's right," the girl said, "Since returning to the Boss's house in Liluofang, I have learned a lot of crafts. Not only can I sing, but I am also proficient in foreign dance and musical instruments... Otherwise, the boss almost took over the big theater."

Xu Zhiyuan: "Go on."

The girl suddenly lowered her voice, and said: "But Liluofang not only provides performances for the party, but also provides rabbits-many businessmen and officials who frequent the dinner party like this, and they are as dignified as dogs in public. After reading, you can turn into monsters and goblins in private. It is said that this party is held every few months, just to let this group of people have fun in a high-sounding manner."

Those who heard it sighed a series of sighs, but the focus was very clear, and they were angry that business was not easy these days, and even men came to grab food from them.

Fu Shubai and Xu Zhiyuan looked at each other, Xu Zhiyuan said: "Do you know who is the regular guest of the dinner party?"

"Jin Jirui is one of them. The night party is held in different places every time, but this time it is held at his house. There is also Dong Jianshu..."

Xu Zhiyuan frowned and said, "Didn't Dong Jianshu have a wife?"

The young lady quickly waved her hand and explained: "I don't bear the accusation of slander... I just said that I go there often, and this dinner is also considered a high-class gathering. There are all great talents in the academic, business, and political circles. Selling rabbits is also carried out secretly. , little known, frequent visits doesn’t mean you just go to play with rabbits.”

"But I know one," a girl interjected, "that Liao De from the General Affairs Department of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, he must be."

Fu Shubai was stunned for a moment, and said: "...Are you sure, you can't talk nonsense about this."

"I'm sure," the girl said, "Boss Nian always scolds him for being the most indifferent. As long as the subordinates he sent over have been played by Liao, they will either be seriously injured or lie down for a day when they come back." .”

Xu Zhiyuan and Fu Shubai were thoughtful, and they didn't want to talk nonsense. After giving a lot of rewards to the girls who revealed the information, they left in the glitzy night of Paramount, dressed in flickering lights.

"Jin Jirui and Liao De must have been acquaintances before Wu Shenyuan disappeared. Otherwise, how could he have asked Liao De to pay on credit. Acquaintances are the most difficult to ask for debts. It is not a problem for him to ask Wu Shenyuan later." Fu Shubai said , "Also... Although Jin Jirui can't figure out Wu Shenyuan's whereabouts, I can see his care for Tong Qiu. This does not directly prove that he and Liao De are 'collaborating'."

"I always feel a little strange, it's just a feeling." Xu Zhiyuan said, "You also said that the bystanders are the ones who are confused by the authorities."

"It's also..." Fu Shubai lowered his eyelashes, and reflected, "I originally thought that there must be something wrong with Tong Qiu, an ordinary student with no background, who was suddenly invited to a party of that size. But I know that the invitation is When Jin Jirui was on the scene, he let down his vigilance."

"I'll go to the night party in three days to see." Xu Zhiyuan said.

Fu Shubai looked at Xu Zhiyuan and said, "Should I tell Teacher Yu and Tong Qiu about this?"

"Of course, we need to tell everyone." Xu Zhiyuan said calmly, "You have read too many stories, you, a lone hero who doesn't communicate with the team before taking action will not end well in reality."

"..." Fu Shubai said, "OK."

"But don't tell my uncle that I'm going to the party." Xu Zhiyuan rubbed his chin and said, "I may have to find another way."

"... find another way?"

"What can you find out if you go to the banquet normally? If you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't even be able to see the tiger's ass." Xu Zhiyuan said, "I'll go and meet the boss there."

Fu Shubai rubbed the center of his brows, and only then did he know the purpose of the young master dragging him to Paramount to "seek women" after telling him the bitterness of being rejected.He said: "Yuan'er, why do you feel that your IQ has been sublimated after you broke up in love." He concluded, "Could it be Teacher Yu's beauty and the ability to reduce intelligence."

"Bah, I'm already very smart," Xu Zhiyuan kicked him, and said, "And you, don't be so fucking broken-hearted. If I hadn't listened to your advice and confessed so early, I would have..." Probably Thinking of Yu Yao's indifferent and stubborn appearance again, Xu Zhiyuan's heart stopped, and he said irritably: "It's okay, it's okay...Get out, I don't want to talk."

"Is it up to me? If you hadn't said something wrong first, you would have caused this trouble. Confess as soon as possible to prevent the night from having too many dreams. Look, don't you have no dreams to do now?"

Xu Zhiyuan pointed at him and said, "Shut up."

"Okay," Fu Shubai pursed his lips, but couldn't hold back and continued, "Then, are you still chasing Mr. Yu?"

"He's much younger and prettier than him. I can find one in a few days. I'm sure there will be a marriage introduced by my parents." Xu Zhiyuan said calmly and freely, "I've never been in a tree. hanging from a tree."

"Really?" Fu Shubai spread his arms and said exaggeratedly, "I see that your 'heart and beauty' statement just now was so nice, it seems that the symptoms of 'hanging' are not serious."

"Shut up you bastard."
