Imagine the world

Chapter 513

Who is the largest employment agency in Dongguo Honggang Special Administrative Region?It is said to be the Hong Kong Jockey Club.It has more than 4000 full-time employees and more than 4000 part-time employees.

The Hong Kong Jockey Club is a gaming organization whose main business is horse betting. It also organizes horse racing and issues Mark Six lottery.But its self-definition is not a gaming institution, but a non-profit charitable organization.

"Happy deeds and good deeds benefit the community" is its external slogan.The main source of its charity money is the betting funds for betting on horses.The organization proudly claims that this is a successful combination of horse racing and charity, and has become an important urban symbol of modern Hong Kong.

Gambling must be labeled as charity in order to modify its moral sense, which can explain many problems in itself.

Gambling on luck, betting on horses, and betting on the Mark Six lottery may also be a kind of spiritual entertainment for the people of Hong Kong.But what kind of person needs or relies on this kind of spiritual entertainment, and even regards it as a possibility of changing his life?
Some people may say that gambling addiction is due to the expectation of getting something for nothing, or the envy of those who get something for nothing.But in this world, there are some people who work but get nothing.

The so-called work without gain does not mean that they cannot get wages for part-time jobs, but that no matter how hard they try, they will not fundamentally improve their situation and cannot achieve the desired "class transition".

Therefore, gambling has given them another kind of entertainment spirit, expecting to become lucky too, and exchange the little spare money they have left for betting chips.

In fact, as long as people live in a society with solid strata and some people are always above others, it is difficult for a person at the bottom to become a so-called successful person even if they win the lottery, because it is difficult to change their position in the social order.

The Pingjing Honggang Jockey Club clubhouse is of course not a gaming institution. The Jockey Club’s gaming business scope is limited to the Honggang Special Administrative Region, so it is just a clubhouse that provides consumer services for members of the Honggang Jockey Club.

Members of the Hong Kong Jockey Club are all over the world, and their identities are either rich or noble. New members need to be introduced by selected members before they can join. This is a bit like Rothschild's Vitality Club in Brussels.

The club only provides services to members. Princess Ketia is not a member of the Hong Kong Jockey Club, but she just said hello, and the Pingjing Hong Kong Jockey Club club gave her the highest standard of member treatment. She will have a banquet here tonight The wind from the guest.

It may be because Her Royal Highness is also an equestrian enthusiast and philanthropist.

The clubhouse is located on Wangzhaijing Jinbao Street, the most prosperous place in Pingjing. It has a large area, and the antique buildings are magnificent, and the interior decoration also shows the distinguished status of members.

Feng Zibin went to the banquet and drove a total of three cars. He sat in the middle one and brought eight entourages and bodyguards with him.These eight people have a lot of background, and they were specially sent by Bai Shaoliu, and their names are——

Smoke King Kong, Wine King Kong, Flower King Kong, Cloud King Kong, Fire King Kong, Blood King Kong, Wu King Kong, Iron King Kong.

The names of the Eight Great King Kong are not good people at first glance.

They were originally members of the Black Dragon Gang, a vibrant social organization in Binhai City in the Northeast, and they were the eight generals under Liu Peifeng, the leader of the gang.Later, the Black Dragon Gang let Bai Shaoliu clean up, and Liu Peifeng and the Eight Great King Kong became disciples of Zuohuai Villa.

Fortunately, the Black Dragon Gang made Bai Shaoliu disappear, otherwise they would have to be swept in sooner or later in Dongguo's many anti-crime operations.

In name, these eight people today are security personnel hired by Feng Zibin locally. On the way here, Hua Jingang said with a smirk: "Mr. Feng just drinks, let us do anything that needs to be done, we have already done it." Prepare to enter the police station."

Why does this sound so awkward?Feng Zibin came here for dinner in a serious manner today, but he didn't intend to make trouble.After getting off the car, the other six King Kongs stayed outside and waited. Feng Zibin only brought Yan King Kong and Hua King Kong into the independent wing of Jinghua Pavilion of the clubhouse.

The Eight Great King Kong are all nicknames, Yan King Kong is actually called Yan Beiyu, he is the oldest, and the most mature and stable person, he was a scout in his early years.

Flower King Kong is called Hua Mi Wu, the youngest, the only female among the Eight Great King Kong, a charming beauty.At that time, he was the manager of a high-end entertainment club in Binhai City, "Walking in the Clouds", and he was also the leader of the Black Dragon Gang to go to the venue.

Walking along the way, the staff of the clubhouse were very courteous. It should be that a special passage was opened for the guests of Her Royal Highness, and no other idlers were encountered.

The manager of the clubhouse greeted the guests in person outside the wing, and looked proud.

The three entered the wing room, and an electronic sensor door similar to an airport security check was set up in the middle of the corridor.There were also three people facing him, Sir Mace with two of Her Royal Highness's entourage.

Sir Mace also personally held an electronic detector, similar to the one used for airport security checks. He bowed politely and said, "Your Majesty, welcome! Please leave all the electronic devices with the accompanying people."

For private banquets, in view of the identity of Her Royal Highness, some sensitive topics may be discussed. Mobile phones and other things are not suitable to be brought in to prevent being monitored or videotaped.This is a tacit rule, and there is no need to explain it too clearly.

Huami Wujiao smiled and said: "This is the Eastern Kingdom, we don't carry any weapons."

Mace frowned secretly when he saw Hua Miwu, because she actually clashed with the Princess Highness tonight!But on the surface, he still maintained a decent demeanor, so he didn't say much.

Hua Miwu is wearing a lake-green cross-collar waist-length skirt today, with a section of lotus-colored Myrobalan tunic slightly exposed in the cross-collar.This is a modern oriental classical costume that has been improved and designed. There is no silk sash around the waist, but a very modern decorative belt.

If there is any difference, it is that her hairstyle is different from that of Her Highness the Princess.Hua Miwu combed her back in a bun and swayed her steps, walking and standing, how dignified, how dignified, how demure, how demure.

She is like a lady who came out of the painting, combining unrestrained sexiness with classical beauty, showing it just right.But once she smiled coquettishly and opened her mouth to speak, the invisible charming appearance and voice made one's bones itch, and the combination of dignity and enchantment was so perfect.

Metz subconsciously thought that fortunately there is no group photo session tonight, especially not allowing Her Royal Highness the Princess to take a photo with this woman, otherwise the answer is obvious who will be embarrassed if the shirt is bumped.

Of course, Her Royal Highness is more beautiful, but in terms of stealing the spotlight and ecstasy, flattery can't keep up with... Ugh!How can you compare the princess with this kind of slut?

According to etiquette, Feng Zibin who is invited to the banquet should also wear relatively formal attire.But Sir Mace didn't know Feng Zibin's clothes tonight, and he looked extremely coquettish, but if he changed to someone who knew his skills, it couldn't be said that he was not dressed formally.

Isn't this the clubhouse of the horse club?Therefore, Feng Zibin wore a pair of double-breasted arrow sleeves, which of course was an improved model with a modern design.

Arrow sleeves are suitable for riding and shooting, and various styles of ceremonial clothing have been developed later.The so-called double front is that there is no left and right gusset, and the front is opened in the middle.The arrow sleeves of this body are made of sky blue silk with dark silver patterns and cloud patterns. From the throat to the navel, there are five scarlet buckles with double phoenix holding pearls.

The so-called double phoenix holding beads means that the left and right buckles are made into the pattern of phoenix flapping its wings and flicking its tail, and the knots are equivalent to holding beads.Ordinary tailors do not have this kind of craftsmanship, and it is almost impossible to see it today.

The so-called no edge means that the cuffs have no borders.Straight sleeves, of course, look very narrow compared to the classical wide sleeves, but they are much looser than the sleeves of modern clothing.

This arrow sleeve looks like a long-sleeved silk trench coat, with the hem hanging down to three inches above the knee, and the left and right sides are opened from the waist down—this is a design that is convenient for riding.

This dress is very suitable to be equipped with a fan to blow it from the front, so that it will be more chic and cool.The sky-blue silk fits the natural temperament, but the vermilion double phoenix bead buckle is too ostentatious, and it looks too eye-catching.

Looking at Yan Beiyu next to him, he was also wearing arrow sleeves, but he was much more reserved and calm.Pure black bordered arrow sleeves, cuffs and front placket have navy blue lining, decorated with dark flower unicorn pattern, with simple button buckle.

Mace felt that it might be more appropriate if Feng Zibin changed into Yan Beiyu's clothes to meet the princess.

"It's just a routine security check procedure, please don't mind my lord." Sir Mace was still polite when he spoke, speaking fluent Lanxi.

Of course Feng Zibin could understand, it was not the first time he and Sir Mace had met.Last time at the awarding ceremony at Lacon Grand Garden Palace, all the guests communicated basically in Lanxi, and Sir Mace was also present.

For the award ceremony, there was of course a security check before entering the Laken Grand Garden, but it was just a simple routine check. Mobile phones and other things definitely did not need to be stored, and all the people who came were famous elites.

But on this occasion, this requirement is obviously a bit too much.For the sake of security, the princess's entourage hoped that Feng Zibin would go through the security check, which is understandable, but what's the point of leaving all the electronic equipment outside the house?
This is not the palace of Beli Kingdom, but Pingjing City of the Eastern Kingdom. Isn't the so-called Jockey Club a private restaurant on the street?It wasn't Feng Zibin who came to see Ketia, but Ketia invited him to dinner.

If there is any private topic that you don't want to reveal, then don't talk about it; if you say it, tell the other party and trust the other party, otherwise, what kind of guest will you invite?But Feng Zibin was not angry, nor could he be angry.

He is an unrestrained rich man and adventurer. He has received honors from the Belly royal family, and he is considered to be half aristocratic. Although he is not recognized by those old orthodox nobles, it is equivalent to getting a ticket to enter the circle.

Proper demeanor is very important, if there is any emotional gaffe, you may be ridiculed by this circle, I saw Feng Zibin took a step forward without hesitation, stretched out his hand with a smile on his face and began to unbutton his clothes.

Sir Mace's brain went down for a few seconds, and he was completely stunned on the spot!He held the security device and instinctively wanted to stop it, but Feng Zibin's hands were too fast, his fingers were unimaginably flexible, and as soon as he wiped them down the neckline, all five buckles were released.

The silk long gown was extremely smooth and smooth, and when the person who unbuttoned the front and stepped forward with his chest upright, the clothes fell directly and were draped on his left forearm.Feng Zibin's upper body was just this one, and there was no vest underneath, so he became shirtless immediately.

It is said that a piece of clothing is put on a shirtless arm, which is the posture of going to the bathhouse, but Feng Zibin's behavior is elegant and decent, without any embarrassment, he presses his belt with his right hand in a gentle manner, and also humbly speaks in fluent Lanxi "Where are the pants?" he asked.

His height is about 1.8 meters [-], his body is extremely strong and fit, his clothes are a little thin, and he is full of tendons when he takes off his clothes. It seems that he has made another explanation for the word "free and easy" in Dongguo dialect with practical actions: floating and romantic , Just take it off.

Feng Zibin or Hua Zhenxing, although he has learned a lot since he was a child, he is not a good boy who gets little red flowers every day.Don't forget where he grew up, what kind of hooligans haven't you seen?

Sir Mace felt almost suffocated and dizzy. Seeing that Feng Zibin had already stepped through the security gate shirtless, he quickly waved his hands and said, "No need, no need at all, Mr. Lord, put on your clothes quickly!"

Feng Zibin still had a sense of proportion. Although he asked about his pants, he didn't really untie his belt.

What he is wearing today is not dandy but linen trousers, a pair of straight-leg trousers made of primary color linen in the simplest style. Instead of a modern belt with a metal buckle, it is a chicken oil yellow satin ribbon tied with a gourd on the right side of the waist. Festival.

He was barefoot, no socks, but a pair of straw sandals.This is definitely not a disrespectful act, because his pair of Nine Dragon Cloud Shoes are already an exquisite handicraft.

Of course, there was no response from the security gate. In fact, with a glance, it is impossible for him to hide anything.The silk shirt and fine linen trousers were made of smooth material, and they didn't even have a pocket. Feng Zibin didn't wear any jewelry, and he didn't have extra items like glasses or watches.

Hearing Sir Metz's words, Feng Zibin re-dressed his clothes gracefully, turned around and said in a low tone, "What are you still doing?"

This sentence was spoken in Dongguo language, and it seemed to be questioning Yan Beiyu and Huamiwu.The two of them seemed to have just reacted, with astonishment on their faces, and their expressions were in place.

Yan Beiyu was very straightforward, and immediately began to take off his clothes unhurriedly. He was not shirtless like Hua Zhenxing, or he hadn't had time to be shirtless, because there was a pair of white shirts inside the arrow sleeves.

Huamiwu is a little more complicated. First, the decorative lace of the skirt is untied, and the cross collar is scattered, but there is no spring leaking out, and there is still a tunic inside.She looked shy and asked in a delicate voice: "Do I want to take it off too?"

Feng Zibin pointed to Sir Mace, and still said in Dong Guo language: "It is the request of this gentleman."

Regardless of whether he could understand or not, Sir Mace could guess what he meant, he just felt his blood rushing up, one head became two bigger, and he almost had a heart attack and cerebral hemorrhage at the same time, he stepped forward and waved his hands: "No, no, no ,Please do not!"

However, Feng Zibin also seriously changed into Lanxi and asked, "Mr. Sir, what do you say you don't want?"

"Don't take it off!" Sir Mace almost couldn't catch his breath, but he spoke in Lanxi language, which Yan Beiyu and Hua Mi Wu didn't seem to understand.

Yan Beiyu had already taken off her arrow sleeves, and was taking off her underwear.Hua Miwu didn't take off her skirt in a hurry, but took off the step shaker on her bun first, and threw it into the tray next to the security gate, making a crisp and pleasant sound.

Feng Zibin translated in a timely manner: "Sir Mace allows you not to take off your clothes!"

After hearing the words, Yan King Kong and Hua King Kong put on their clothes quickly, each of them was mature, steady, dignified and quiet.

Sir Mace was severely abused by Feng Zibin this time. You must know that there are surveillance cameras in the corridor. No matter who saw this scene, they would think that he actually asked Feng Zibin and his daughter The entourage undresses in public in the hallway!

It is even more brutal than the immigration security check of the US Immigration Service.

This is not just a matter of disrespect, if it gets out, it will also have a serious impact on the reputation of Her Royal Highness the Princess.Because he came to welcome the guests on behalf of Ketia, although there may be a small translation misunderstanding, but Lord Feng Zibin really took it off!

"Mister and Madam, I have arranged for you to wait in the private room next to you...Mr. Lord, please follow me. Her Royal Highness is already waiting." When he said these words, Metz had trembled. And the back of my neck is sweaty.

If possible, he didn't want to provoke Feng Zibin again, and he didn't even want to say anything. The idea in his mind was to contact the club quickly and delete the surveillance just now.

Feng Zibin was very self-cultivated, as if the scene just now had never happened at all, following Sir Metz to the dining room, Yan Beiyu and Huamiwu were entertained by themselves.

Hua Miwu suddenly called out from behind: "Mr. Lord, your fan!"

Feng Zibin turned around and took a rice paper fan, which was the same shape as the wind ring fan that Mr. Feng had given him back then. After unfolding, the word "Huanxiang" was written on it. The fan pendant wrapped in Yingluo was a dark brown regular ten Dihedral crystals.

Metz is not in the mood to scan the fan with the security device at the moment. Anyway, it looks like a structure of bamboo and paper. He led Feng Zibin to open the two doors, bowed and said: "Your Highness, Feng Lord Zibin has arrived!"

"My lord, I have been looking forward to meeting you again!" Ketia was already sitting in the room, and she got up to greet her at this moment.But she just got up from the chair and took a step outside, and didn't go to the door.

According to etiquette, it should be Feng Zibin who walked over to salute.

Feng Zibin did pass by, but only three steps away, holding a fan and performing a scholar's salute, that is, closing the fan, holding it in his hands and clasping his fists, a bit like holding a wat to go to court, and a bit like offering incense to someone , said with a smile: "It is fate that we can meet here!"

If the situation were changed, Sir Mace would definitely frown secretly again, because Feng Zibin did not say "it is my honor" as usual, but said "fate", but he is not in the mood to care about it now .

The guests and hosts were seated at both ends of the table, and Feng Zibin couldn't sit directly. He had to wait for Sir Mace to pull a chair symbolically and he said thank you before he could sit down.

According to age, gender, and status, the greeting after sitting down should be a part of praise. First, Feng Zibin praised Her Royal Highness's nobility and beauty.But Feng Zibin put the fan on his right hand, just stared at Ketia with a smile on his face, and didn't speak.

And Ketia also raised her arms naturally, showed her hanging sleeves, and said with a smile in Dong Guo: "There is an idiom in Dong Guo called "Hearts and Hearts". Today's meeting is really due to fate. Orient classical style clothing."

Sir Mace was standing behind the princess. He couldn't say anything, but he was unconsciously exerting force on his toes, as if trying to dig a hole in the sole of his shoe.

Possibly to show the affinity of doing as the Romans do, Ketia wore a lake-green cross-neck skirt today, which is the traditional style of the Eastern Kingdom. It has also been modernized by the designer, and it is not a complete ancient costume.

For example, the pipa sleeves of the skirt, the cuffs are not on the wrist, but in the middle of the forearm, revealing a section of tender white forearm, inadvertently showing the jewelry worn on the wrist, which is also more convenient for eating.The skirt is waist-tight and is tied with a modern decorative belt.

Ketia's lake green, paired with the natural azure, are both brown, looking very harmonious.

But Sir Mace couldn't remind the princess that one of Feng Zibin's attendants wore the same clothes as her today, the color and style were almost the same, but the patterns were different.

The flowery skirt is decorated with pine-patterned crane embroidery, and Ketia's skirt is probably a bird embroidered with a phoenix... Sir Mace doesn't know much about it either.

What really deserves careful consideration is Feng Zibin's inadvertent display of intelligence gathering ability.

What style of clothing Ketia will wear today is not a state secret, but it will not be disclosed to the public, and Feng Zibin obviously knew it in advance... which makes this mysterious rich man even more mysterious.

The princess opened her mouth on her own initiative, and Feng Zibin also said politely: "I'm sorry, I was a little rude, it was His Highness's radiance that made me lose my mind, your beauty can add color to any dress.

But in my opinion, maybe jasper is more suitable for His Highness's outfit today than emerald.Might be your sartorial consultant who doesn't quite understand the difference between the two..."

Ketia: "Oh, the jewelry designer didn't tell me this, is Mr. Lord an expert in this field?"

What she is wearing today is a set of jewelry. The earrings, bracelet, and necklace are all made of jadeite. They are very exquisite and beautiful. From the perspective of design and clothing matching, there is no fault. However, Feng Zibin is talking about another topic.

He introduced the difference between jade and jasper, including the texture and history and tradition, and also talked about "Jade has the virtue of a gentleman", what are the five derbys of jade that a gentleman should pay attention to...

The topic spread out like this. Lord Feng Zibin is very good at socializing, and both the host and the guest had a great time chatting.Sir Mace poured aperitifs for both of them, and the princess asked Feng Zibin what to drink?Feng Zibin said that guests can do whatever they want, and they can drink whatever they want.

This is an oriental meal, otherwise it would not match the attire of the two of them.The main course surprised Feng Zibin, but it turned out to be Pingjing Roast Duck with local characteristics, commonly known as crispy sliced ​​duck.

Ketia is very proficient in using chopsticks, and although she is not fluent in Dongguo, her level is quite good.The conversation between the two switched between Dongguo and Lanxi, and occasionally a few Hansi words were mixed in.

Although Beli is the headquarters of the Roba Union, and its capital Brussels is also known as the capital of the Roba Union, the Roba Union is not a unified country, but an economic cooperation body composed of more than 20 countries.

Beli Country is a small country with a population similar to that of Jili Country and an area similar to that of Huanxiang Tebang, but its location happens to be between the two most important countries in the Roba Alliance, the Hans Country and Lanxi Country.

Therefore, some of the residents in the territory speak Lanxi as their mother tongue, while others speak Hansi as their mother tongue. It is said that the Beli country football team often has internal strife, that is, two groups of players with different mother tongues and cultures often get along with each other.

Her Royal Highness doesn't eat much, even if she needs roast duck wrapped in lotus leaf cake, her dining manner is impeccable and elegant.After a certain period of time, no matter whether the main course is finished or not, the main course will be removed and replaced with a combination of East and West snacks, and the wine will be changed to another kind.

From the point of view of eating, it is almost the same, but from the point of view of chatting, the heat is just right. After a roast duck foreshadowed, the atmosphere has reached the most harmonious and relaxed stage. The princess said: "Mace, you go to rest first, I want to talk to Mr. Let's talk alone."

Sir Mace waited for the opportunity to go out, and hurried to find someone to delete the surveillance, only Feng Zibin and Ketia were left in the room.Feng Zibin asked with a smile: "What's your Highness, do you want to tell me alone?"

Ketia: "First of all, I want to express my gratitude to you, thank you for providing the Chunrong Pill, it is simply a gift from God to the world!"
