Chapter seven hundred and seventy-eight peers
Chapter 778: Walking together
Chen Fan and Zhang Shun are old acquaintances. They both graduated from Dengzhou Vocational and Technical School. Well, the highest education level is currently. The school has been moved to Liaodong, and Dengzhou people are still willing to call it that. Dengzhou now seems to have little to do with Chen Xie. In fact, any new official will be careful to adapt to all the rules here.
There are also crazy people, such as the county magistrate of Huang County who took the documents of the Ministry of Personnel and showed off his power after taking office. He became honest within a month. The reason is very simple. When the family goes out, they have to beware of the attack of rotten eggs and rotten vegetables and leaves. Even if there is money, they can't buy any daily necessities. If you want to have a meal of meat, you have to send someone to Dengzhou to buy it. Even so, you haven't bought it yet. The county magistrate beat a yamen runner and a board, but the three yamen runners ran away, and the clerks in each room refused to ask for a request, becoming a real lonely man. In the end, the county magistrate rode a horse and stayed for another five days after visiting the prefect. The problem was solved. The specific solution is unknown to outsiders. Anyway, after returning, they became honest and acted in accordance with the rules on the ground of Dengzhou.
For officials, Dengzhou is a paradise and hell. For both Chen Fan and Zhang Shun, Japan cannot be called hell, but it is definitely not a paradise. This land is just a countryside!
The situation in the concession is a little better. At night, there are street lights burning kerosene, so Edo cannot do it. The streets are narrow, the buildings are low, and the streets are not hygienic. It is not unfair to say that it is in the countryside.
The former general's mansion has been emptied and is undergoing renovation. In the future, this place will be the Japanese palace. Chen Xie, the original living facilities, was difficult to accept. After returning from Hakone, he moved directly into the headquarters of the concession, and now it is called the palace.
There may be no electricity elsewhere. The future palace must have electricity. Not only will it have electricity, but the high exterior wall edges, but also lights. When night comes, the entire palace becomes a colorful building. The project is not small, so Zhang Shun is very troubled. In contrast, Chen Fan's purpose is to come to inspect the feasibility of laying undersea cables on site.
While renovating the palace, a 30-meter high platform is being built in the eastern suburbs of Edo. Due to the earthwork and stone project, the construction period of this throne ceremony platform is expected to be half a year. After completion, a square platform will appear, with a ten-meter-high concrete exterior wall at the bottom, and reinforced concrete pillars upwards. Steps from the ground to the top are ninety-nine steps. Zhang Shun received the requirement that lights be pulled around the platform, and there are lights on both sides of the steps, and when night falls, this platform is a city's landmark building, a luminous building that can be seen from any direction.
The current power supply system is still DC power, and there are still many technical difficulties that cannot be overcome. Of course, this is a problem that the research institute at Xinghai Power Company headquarters needs to solve. Zhang Shun was in construction. When he received this job, Zhang Shun was in trouble, but he had to come yet. Because it was the order of his superior. Who asked him to take the title of the most capable young talent in the power company? Speaking of which, there must be something tricky in it. But it is not something he can resist.
Because of his low-keyness, Zhang Shun, a native of Dengzhou, had no idea of Chen Fan's origin, so he thought he was from an ordinary landlord family. Zhang Shun, who was a classmate for three years, took great care of Chen Fan, a guy with similar temper. After graduation, he flew away. One went to the front line of Liaodong to do engineering, and the other was busy doing his telegram research. Unexpectedly, when the two encountered each other on the Lushun Wharf, they found that everyone's destination was the same.
Chen Xie did not live in Edo Castle, so the two of them naturally ran away in Edo Castle. The official documents they brought with them needed to be controlled, so they had to go to the concession immediately. The city of Edo is not very attractive to them for the time being. Naturally, there is no interest in visiting. The most prosperous place in the entire Edo and its surroundings is the concession. However, this concession will not be changed in the future and will become part of Edo Castle. Chen Xie did not intend to reappear the word Tokyo.
"Brother Zhang, I have booked a room at the Eurasian Hotel, and I will check in together." After entering the concession, I naturally find a place to live. At this time, the difference between the two appears. You can stay in the best hotel in Edo, but not in the concession. The cheapest room in the Eurasian Hotel also costs ten silver coins a day, and Zhang Shun can't afford to live in even if he has a power company to reimburse. You should know that for a medium-sized family in Dengzhou City, the monthly expense is only ten silver coins, which is already a very high standard of living. For ordinary working families, according to a family of four, the monthly expense is only two to three silver coins. On the lower level, the normal expense of four family is only one and a half silver coins, which can ensure the family's food and clothing.
"No, the company's business trip subsidy is only five silver coins a day. Brother Chen should stay by himself and find another place to stay." Zhang Shun naturally refused. His family's situation can only be considered middle-level income. He works in the power company and his monthly salary is only eighty silver coins. He can't afford such a high-end restaurant.
After Chen Fan reacted, he felt ashamed. The education he received since childhood made him immediately make up for it: "I have also heard of Daming for a long time. I only have a luxury when I am on a whim. I can stay overnight and I can still invite you. Today's room has been settled. Even if I am treating you, I will find another place tomorrow." After saying this, Zhang Shun had nothing to say. Although this Eurasian restaurant is expensive, the room is very nervous. If you don't book in advance, you have to pay a deposit. If you don't stay, the deposit will be gone. Although it's only 30% of the advance payment, it's really a waste of time to pay.
Griefly, "Okay, let's stay together for one night. The teams around the world have to wait a few days." Both of them brought two followers to take the lead. When they arrived, they solved not only the residence problem, but also the office location.
Chen Fan then smiled and said, "That's right. Go to Edo together tomorrow. The rent of houses in the area is cheap. You and I might as well rent a next door office, which is convenient for each other."
Get off at the entrance of the hotel with a joke. Although it was the cheapest room, it was enough to make Zhang Shun feel that it was worth the trip when standing at the entrance. This is the highest building in the concession, the fifth-floor Eurasian Hotel. The first floor is the lobby, and the second floor is the house. In front of the revolving door at the entrance, two carefully selected Japanese women bowed and welcomed, wearing a cheongsam with embroidered shoes under their feet, and the seams were high. The snow-white thighs were exposed when they were moved. The plump and plump chest jumped and undulated with the bowing movement.
"I never thought that there were women with such figures in the Japanese world." Chen Fan inherited some Chen Xie's preferences, and the aesthetic view of long legs and thin waists was one of them. Zhang Shun smiled and said, "Brother Chen doesn't know that these women are not pure-bred Japanese women, they should be the evil of Dutch ghosts in Japan."
The two of them were not low, and the woman leading the way in front could hear it clearly, but she did not dare to have any dissatisfaction on her face. Chen Fan sighed heavily and said, "The Ming Dynasty is still a little late to develop overseas, otherwise how could such a tragedy come from?" A sympathetic face came out, which caused the woman in front to look back frequently.
There are very few women running around these days, so the hotel mainly consists of female waiters, and they are all dressed up and have different figures. If you have luggage to be sent into the room, you have to ask the passengers' opinions to send some male waiters from the hotel. The two of them brought two followers, so they naturally don't have to worry about the waiters in the hotel.
Zhang Shun is not a good guy. He is staring at other people's buttocks all the way. This is the thing of cheongsam. When looking from behind, the Japanese woman who is used to small steps can still see clearly the swing range when walking. If this is in the Ming Dynasty, the one who wears this way, it will definitely be a fair woman. Even an ordinary woman must be a long skirt to cover her shoes when facing outsiders. Seeing this guy's eyes, Chen Fan couldn't help but laugh in a low voice: "Why, do you like me?"
Zhang Shun smiled embarrassedly, Chen Fan didn't say anything. After the two of them moved into the room, the entourage put down their luggage and went downstairs to the servant's room in the backyard to settle down. Chen Fan then greeted the woman who was waiting on the side and said, "This girl, we will only stay for one day and leave. The hotel will not despise guests like us, right?"
The woman bowed slightly and said, "The two masters don't know what they said, "You guys will be VIPs when you enter the shop, and you will be treated with all your heart." After saying that, she handed over a beautifully printed booklet, Chen Fan opened it and looked, and turned around and said, "Brother Zhang, look here." Zhang Shun looked at it, and the words of personal service for twenty-four hours were intimate. He couldn't help but his heart beat faster.
"Five silver coins, this is not cheap!" Chen Fan smiled subconsciously and said to himself: "Of course I'm coming down to treat you." After saying that, he said to the woman: "Okay, stay, and let someone take me to the room."
After hearing this, the woman turned around and greeted her. A woman was waiting at the door and said, "Master, your room is next door."
At the hotel that I checked in at 10 o'clock in the morning, Zhang Shun did not come out of the room until the evening. After stretching his body comfortably, he went to knock on the door next door. The door opened, and a mixed-race woman appeared inside. When he saw him, he bowed and said, "Mr. Chen is taking a shower. Please come in and sit down."
The rooms are the same. The direction facing the sea is a long corridor. For safety reasons, you have to squeeze in with metal railings. Even if you want to jump off the building, you have to squeeze in. After entering the door, there is a small hall with sofas and coffee tables. Zhang Shun, who was thinking about the waitress before, looked at the layout of the house carefully.
When the curtain of the diversion was lifted up, Zhang Shun showed a knowing smile. It was not Chen Fan who came out, but a plump woman with a rosy face, and then Chen Fan was cleaned up. When he saw Zhang Shun, he smiled and said, "I'm here just right, let's discuss together how to act tomorrow." (To be continued.)
