A hundred flavors of life

Chapter 62 The Old Foreign Devil and His Daughter (for further reading)

Central, a French restaurant.

Two European-style four-wheeled carriages were parked in front of the restaurant, and Hua Twelve and his half-breed disciple Williamson came out of the restaurant to greet the guests.

Four white bodyguards alighted from the first carriage to protect the carriage behind.

A tall, middle-aged white man in a formal dress came out of the second carriage.

The white man smiled and nodded when he saw Williamson, then turned around and stretched out his right hand. A beautiful Chinese young girl in the carriage helped him by the hand and walked off from the carriage.

At this time, Williamson stepped forward and bowed slightly: "Good evening, Uncle Mei, Miss Regina."

This middle-aged white man is the guest that Hua Shier is going to invite today, 'Francis Henry May', the Hong Kong Island Police Department in this world is also the head of the Hong Kong Island Police Force, SIR.

Before Hua Twelve entered the mission world, he learned about the world he lived in around 1900. In reality, there is also this Mei Sir. The Governor of Hong Kong, the head of the team, is a genuine golden thigh.

Francis Henry May smiled: "Hey, little Williamson, I haven't seen you for a few years and you have grown so much!"

The Chinese girl also gave Williamson a noble salute: "Hello, Williamson!"

Williamson turned his body sideways, revealing Hua Twelve behind him, and introduced to the two of them:

"Uncle Mei, this is my master, Chongyang, and the person who invited you to the banquet today!"

Then Williamson said to Hua Twelve again: "Master, I don't need to introduce you, the beautiful lady next to her is Uncle Mei's daughter, Li Zhenna!"

"Hi Mr. Mei!"

When Hua Twelve stepped forward, he would not bow to foreigners, but used the handshake that has become popular now.

Seeing this, two white bodyguards immediately stepped forward to block it, and Francis Henry May just glanced at Hua Twelve, without any intention of shaking hands with him, and just said lightly:
"My daughter played tennis with her friends for half a day today. I believe she is hungry now. Let's go in and talk about anything!"

"Daddy!"

Regina was told by her father that she was hungry in front of the two young men. She was a little embarrassed, with a shy expression on her face, and she shook Francis Henry May's arm resolutely.

This Li Zhennahua [-] looks familiar, she seems to be the daughter of the high-ranking official in "Project A Sequel", and now she matches, it should be Mei SIR's daughter.

He didn't shake hands with him, so Hua Twelve was not embarrassed at all, and made a please gesture with his outstretched hand:
"Mr. Mei, Miss Regina, please come inside!"

With a smile on his face, he scolded in his heart: "This old foreign devil!"

Francis Henry May let his daughter take his arm and walked straight into the restaurant. Unlike this arrogant foreign devil, before his daughter entered the restaurant, Chaohua Twelve nodded apologetically.

The four white bodyguards did not follow up the restaurant, but stayed outside to guard the carriage.

When the father and daughter entered the restaurant, Hua Twelve asked Williamson in a low voice:
"Why does this foreign devil have a Chinese daughter?"

Williamson heard a black thread:
"Master, I am of mixed race. Did you consider my feelings when you called the foreign devil?"

Hua Shishi said with a sneer: "We are our own people, can master say you, I say Lao Mei!"

Williamson shook his head with a wry smile, and explained:
"Regina is in the same situation as me. She is of mixed race, but she looks like her mother, without the characteristics of a white person. She also grew up on Hong Kong Island. You can see her as a Chinese!"

Hua Twelve nodded and entered the restaurant with Williamson.

Williamson had already ordered food, and when everyone was seated, the restaurant manager began to direct the waiters to serve the dishes. The pre-dinner drink was French sparkling wine, that is, champagne, the appetizer was French fried foie gras, and the main course was chicken stewed in red wine.

The delicious food was served on the table one after another, which made the guests and hosts very appetizing.

Francis Henry May and Williamson were chatting and laughing, but they didn't pay much attention to Hua Twelve, who paid for the treat.

Interestingly, Hua Twelve ignored him and tasted the delicious ingredients of this era by himself.

At the beginning, Li Zhenna just apologized for her father's arrogance, so she kept paying attention to Hua Twelve, but she found that the other party didn't seem to care about her father's rudeness, nor did she care about her embarrassing situation.

It's not the kind that doesn't care because of pleasing, but the kind that doesn't care, it seems that they don't care at all.

Moreover, after Hua Twelve became a rich man in the last world, others often invited him to eat western food. This is not a skill, so the memory is preserved intact, so the etiquette of eating French food is very standardized, as if he was born with aristocratic temperament .

If one didn't look at his appearance, Regina would have suspected that he was a nobleman from the European royal family.

This made her, who had heard about the other party's background from her father in advance, feel very interesting and strange.

So she decided to do Hua Shier a small favor, and immediately approached her father, whispering: "Daddy, I think out of politeness, you should ask Mr. Shen why he invited you to dinner, shouldn't you?"

After Francis Henry May ate, he wiped the corners of his mouth with a napkin, and then said to Hua Twelve:
"Chongyang, right? Since it was Little Williamson who brought you to me, I'll give him face and tell him your purpose!"

Hua Twelve also put down the tableware, and after wiping his mouth with a napkin, he smiled and said:
"Mei Sir, I believe you must have investigated my background before. I am still your subordinate, a Chinese patrolman in the Central District, and a three-time champion of the police force competition. I heard that the Police Academy intends to carry out fighting For the course, I think about the fighting course, I should be able to perform the duties of an instructor."

There was a smile on the corner of Francis Henry May's mouth, but it was not a smile, but a contemptuous mockery that felt funny.

"Chongyang, I know you!"

"I also know that you recently opened a martial arts gym, which made a lot of noise. The Flower Planter Times of your Chinese newspaper commented that you are grandstanding!"

"As your officer, I hope you can abide by the discipline of the police force, and don't do so many things even in your spare time!"

"As for the instructor of the Police Academy, Deputy Qi of the Police Department has recommended Officer Hong Tianci, who has returned from training at Scotland Yard, to be the instructor. I believe that the boxing he learned in our Empire on which the Sun Never Sets is much more useful than your sensational kung fu. !"

As I said before, the deputy in the Hong Kong Island police force means supervision. There are three Chinese assistants in the current police force. deputy.

The reason why Hua Shier covets the position of fighting instructor in the police academy is because the instructors are all trainee assistants. There is no accidental promotion to assistant assistants. As long as he can become a fighting instructor in the police academy, it will be very important for his career in the police force. It is definitely a shortcut to the south.

Hua Twelve was not surprised to hear Francis Henry May's outright refusal, but what made him frown a little was that the other party's attitude towards him seemed unfriendly.

The corner of his mouth raised slightly, revealing a smile:
"Mei Sir, don't rush to refuse. I don't think the boxing you mentioned is comparable to our Chinese martial arts. In addition, I believe that everything in this world has its price, including this instructor position. do you think so?"

Just kidding, the foreign devils in this era are almost robbed when they make money. Not to mention the police force, many positions in the municipal department are clearly marked these days. Walter Williamson found Francis Henry May, the head of the police force, who is If you want to spend a little money to get it right in one step, you won't have to worry about getting promoted step by step.

Sure enough, Francis Henry May saw that he knew the rules, and there was an imperceptible smile on his originally arrogant face.

But what people didn't expect was that Regina, who was originally interested in Hua Twelve, showed a disgusted expression at this time, and said to Francis Henry May beside her:
"Daddy, I'm a little tired, let's go now!"

Francis Henry May shrugged to Williamson: "I'm sorry, I'm going to send my daughter back. As for this matter, I'm sorry that I have already agreed to Assistant Qi, so let's stop here!"

As he spoke, he got up and nodded to Hua Shishi and Williamson, and took his daughter out.

Williamson got up to see off the guests, while Hua Twelve sat where he was and did not mean to see off the guests, but continued to eat. This meal was worth a lot, and it was all his hard-earned money. He didn't think about the matter anymore. Judging by the attitude of the old foreign devil, it was obvious that others had spent money, so he should think of other ways later.

Williamson sent Francis Henry May and his daughter out of the door, and waited for the two to get into the carriage before turning back and apologizing to Hua Twelve:
"I'm sorry, Master, I didn't expect that Uncle Mei would bring Li Zhenna here, and she despises this kind of profit deal the most!"

Hua Twelve shook his head indifferently: "It's okay, this road is blocked, there are other roads, come and eat!"

As he spoke, he snapped his fingers at the waiter, ordered two lobsters and one for each apprentice.

Bah, bah, bah
Intensive gunshots came from outside the restaurant. Hua Twelve and Williamson turned their heads and looked through the glass of the restaurant. They happened to see two carriages that had just turned around outside. Due to the shooting, several horses had been killed and fell to the ground. The ground, even the carriage was brought down.

Of the four bodyguards of Francis Henry May, two of them had fallen in a pool of blood.

The remaining two bodyguards, while shooting, desperately pulled Francis Henry May out of the carriage, and rushed into the restaurant again.

Francis Henry May yelled, "Regina, my Regina is still outside!"
