Lost and Spy

Chapter 1205
Huang Fan is really obedient to his wife, wishing to be spoiled to the sky.

This time for Hu Meina's 25th birthday, he not only helped her spend it in the best restaurant in Zhenjiang, but also booked the entire Jinshan Hotel's ballroom.

There are quite a few gangsters of Huang Fan who came here, and there were 18 people sitting at the big table of [-] people.

Hu Meina's table was also full.

Pushing cups and changing cups, yelling five drinks and six six, drinking to the fullest, the brigade went straight to the ballroom without leaving the restaurant.

Jinshan Ballroom is a band specially invited from Shanghai, and there is also a Shanghai singer named Wei Mengzhu, who is considered a resident singer and has a certain reputation in Zhenjiang.

When the song started, it was a song that was popular all over Shanghai and even the whole country:

"Outside the long pavilion, beside the ancient road, there are green grass and green sky..."

The name of the song is "Farewell".

It stands to reason that Hu Meina's birthday is today, and it is not appropriate to play a song called "Farewell".

But no one found out.

Wei Mengzhu also sang like this on purpose.

Hu Meina is a frequent visitor here, she also sang in the past, and once wanted to go to Shanghai to develop, but it was a pity that she returned without success.

Every time she came to the ballroom and heard Wei Mengzhu sing, she always dismissed her and pointed her finger at her, saying that her singing was bad here, not good there, and her level was so low.

It's as if she herself is the real big singer.

These words reached Wei Mengzhu's ears. She came from Shanghai, and she was proud and arrogant, so she couldn't swallow it.I found an opportunity today, and as soon as I got angry, I sang this song directly regardless of the consequences.

Fortunately, no one heard that there was something wrong, otherwise catastrophe would have happened.

One after another, friends from Huang Fan and Hu Meina who didn't come to dinner came to the scene. The ballroom was almost full and it was lively.

After a few dances, I heard the cabaret manager come to the microphone:
"Boss Luo of Chunji Department Store gave Ms. Wei Mengzhu a ten-yuan flower basket!"

The name of this flower basket is different in different places.

Decades later, as nightclubs and entertainment venues bloomed everywhere, some cities in the south called it "flower sea".

It is to send flowers to the singers and dancers that they like, to show that they are interested in them, and to see their wealth.

As everyone knows, this trick has already begun in the Republic of China era.

Among the singer's appearance fees, the monthly fee is only a small amount, and this kind of flower basket is the big one, ten yuan. According to the negotiation with the dance hall owner, I can get three to five yuan.

Originally, the Japanese stipulated that the currency in legal circulation in Shanghai, Nanjing, Zhenjiang and other places was the Japanese yen, military bills, or the so-called "Huaxing Commercial Bank Notes" issued by the fake Huaxing Commercial Bank.

It's a pity that the common people don't recognize it, but they still recognize Dayang.

"Thank you Boss Luo." Wei Mengzhu immediately said sweetly.

Hu Meina, who had just returned from a dance, snorted: "The singing is not good, it's just to deceive people in such a small place."

Some people said, of course some people praised it. Huang Fan's friend, Boss He, who opened four pawnshops in Zhenjiang, immediately said flatteringly: "I heard it a long time ago, our Miss Mina was a big singer back then, and she can get along even in Shanghai. It's a pity that our fate is short, and we have never heard Miss Mina's beautiful singing, since today is a good day, how about inviting Miss Mina to show off her singing voice?"

When he said that, naturally a group of sycophants booed.

Hu Meina was already eager to try, but she looked at Huang Fan again and pulled Huang Fan's arm: "Darling, what do you think?"

"Sing, sing!"

Huang Fan was also very interested: "When the time comes, I'll have to rely on you, Lao He, to support me."

"Of course, of course." Boss He patted his chest and agreed.

Hu Meina finally had a chance to show off, and she was very happy.

Huang Fan made a signal, and someone immediately helped him pass the message.

The manager of the karaoke hall knew that it was Huang Fan's woman, so he didn't dare to neglect: "Everyone here today is blessed, the big singer who has retired for a long time, Miss Hu Meina... Ms. presents a song for you!"

Originally, I wanted to say "Ms.", but I changed it to "Ms."

Immediately, there was cheers and whistles.

Satisfied, Hu Meina came to the stage and opened her voice to present a song.

To be honest, she looks really good, but her singing level is average, which doesn't match the word "singer".

Wei Mengzhu simply dismissed it.

The question is, who is singing to her?

When the song is over, there is another colorful sound.

"Congratulations to the boss of Changsheng Pawnshop, and a flower basket of Dayang Fifty to Miss Hu Meina!"

At that time, another burst of applause was indispensable.

Hu Meina was triumphant, as if she had found the feeling of a big singer, and blew a kiss to Boss He.

"Boss Hou of the restaurant in front of the building gave Miss Hu Meina a flower basket of Dayang Thirty!"

"Boss Xu from Lingda Shipping Company gave Miss Hu Meina a flower basket of Dayang Thirty!"

Those who wanted to curry favor with Huang Fan sent flower baskets one by one.

Hu Mina was even more excited.

The limelight this time completely overwhelmed Wei Mengzhu.

Huang Fan was determined to make his wife look good, so he whispered to his followers: "Wei Mengzhu is on stage, no one is allowed to send her flower baskets."

Sure enough, Wei Mengzhu came up and sang two songs in a row, and no one sent flower baskets anymore.

This made Wei Mengzhu very wronged, and his spirit was also much worse, which caused another burst of laughter.

She has a contract with the ballroom, and she has to sing as many songs as possible for each show, and she has to sing, otherwise the compensation will be sky-high.

Singing the third song listlessly, the applause was sparse.

After finally making it through to the end of the song, and just about to step off the stage so as not to suffer this humiliation, suddenly a voice came:
"I'll give Miss Wei Mengzhu a flower basket of five hundred flowers!"

There was an uproar in the ballroom.

The manager was also dumbfounded.

From the opening of the Jinshan Ballroom to the present, no one has ever made such a big deal.

All eyes looked there.

Although the sentence was spoken in Chinese, it was very stiff and unfamiliar.

Huang Fan was furious.

The man stood up, and when Huang Fan saw him clearly, the anger in his stomach immediately disappeared without a trace.

Nobita!

That Japanese Nobi Nobita!
No matter how arrogant Huang Fan was, he would not dare to confront the Japanese.

The manager stepped forward and asked cautiously, "You just said, a flower basket of five hundred oceans?"

"Yes, five hundred oceans." "Nobi Nobita" Meng Shaoyuan said with a straight face: "But the Empire of Japan does not use oceans, but uses Japanese yen. According to the parity, I will give all of them."

"Hey, hey."

It’s a big deal today, and I was about to announce it officially, but Meng Shaoyuan stopped me again:
"Also, I will send another five hundred oceans to let that lady sing another song."

What is rich and powerful?

This is real deep pockets!
Splurge like water!

The manager is crazy:

"That... Your Excellency Nobi of the Great Japanese Empire, presented Miss Wei Mengzhu with a flower basket of [-] oceans, and another [-] oceans, and asked Miss Wei Mengzhu to present a song again!"

Wei Mengzhu himself couldn't believe that someone offered such a high price.

Some people are crazy with joy, and naturally some people will be crazy with anger.

Hu Meina, who was firmly in the upper hand, was so angry that her face was livid.
