Chapter 422 Full Moon Banquet

After the beginning of autumn, the weather cools down, and you must wear a coat sooner or later.

The sixth day of August.

It's the full moon for the two boys of Zhou Sen's family.

Zhou Sen deliberately asked for leave one day in advance. He will not go to work in the police department on this day, but the "Information Room" still needs to visit.

The working hours over there are fixed, and everyone can only schedule shifts, and they can go to work as they are scheduled, and he is the person in charge, and there is no such thing as "rest".

But he is more free, as long as there is no special business, as long as there is no job, he can do what he wants to do.

Even so, Zhou Sen had to leave early and return late every day.

He is busy all day long, but he doesn't know what he is busy with. This is Zhou Sen's current state, especially in the "Information Room".

Ono Dahiro didn't let anyone go, and he couldn't help it. At least now he could use this excuse to deal with Sato Hideo and let Sato Hideo put pressure on Ono Dahiro.

On the day when the two little guys were full moon, the weather was really good. When we got up in the morning, a red sun rose into the sky in the east, shining brightly.

Autumn is high and fresh.

Early in the morning, many guests sent their gifts to the Ningxiang Hall first, and Chang Bo was in charge of receiving them, receiving the gifts and registering them in the register.

Similarly, Zhou Sen and Bai Yulan also had to return a gift, basically an invitation to give one in return.

A pastry box, made by the house, a high-end silk scarf, a custom-made brass lighter, and two bottles of the special custom-made Bingxue Shao from the winery, which are jointly signed by Zhou Sen and Bai Yulan.

All packed in gift boxes.

Such a thoughtful return of gifts surprised many guests who sent gifts in advance, which not only promoted their own products, but also improved their grades.

This return gift is worth hundreds of dollars.

Such a large amount of money is not something ordinary people can afford.

If you don't make a move, it's enough, and if you make a move, it will be a blockbuster.

As for the invited guests, they are either politicians or high-ranking officials, or social businessmen and celebrities. They come to eat the full moon wine, or they are two children. The gift is double, and the value is less.
Therefore, the family has already vacated a storeroom for gifts. It is estimated that receiving gifts today will cause hand cramps.

Today, Bai Yulan can't come out to receive her, so Zhou Sen has to come alone. Fortunately, there are people to help, mainly Chang Bo, plus Jiang Rou and Qin Lang, four people, plus A Le, Wu En, Muren and Fu Changming A few errands, this manpower is barely enough.

Zhou Sen was alone, Bai Yulan didn't have her natal family anymore, her aunt Bai Mo'er was at most her natal family, after all she was married too.

Therefore, all etiquette is simplified.

After lunch, the people who looked after the house stayed until about three o'clock in the afternoon. All the family members went to "Food for Heaven". "Food for Heaven" is closed today. "Escort.

In particular, the "Information Room" was on holiday for half a day except for those who stayed on duty at the radio station, and all of them rushed over to help.

There were [-] tables for the banquet, of course, [-] more tables were prepared, and the actual number of guests was about [-] tables.

This is already a rare occasion, and the reporters who got the news have already been moved by the news.

They were all waiting at the entrance of "Food is the Sky". If anyone came to the full moon banquet for the two children of Zhou Sen and Bai Yulan tonight, they would just snap a picture and make it into the newspaper. That would be news.

It's just that they didn't dare to be too presumptuous. You must know that Zhou Sen's job in the police department is to manage the review of news publications.

It's really annoying that there is no way to eat in this line.

Arrange for Bai Yulan and nurse Xiumei to go to the room prepared earlier to rest together, after everything is arranged properly.

The host, Zhou Sen, had to go to the gate to greet the guests in person. As time passed, the guests who came to the dinner party were almost here.

Although the invitation says 06:30, it is impolite to be late for the banquet.

And if you arrive late, you will lose face if you don't get greeted by the director in person, so you usually arrive early.

Some will be half an hour to an hour earlier. After all, it is a very festive thing to give birth to twins in one breath. Men may not necessarily go to see the children, but wives are very curious.

Such a large-scale banquet is not only a place for socializing, but also a fair for vanity. Besides, although Zhou Sen is an inconspicuous little policeman in the police department, Bai Yulan has been in the ice city for many years. She is a role model for many women in the ice city.

The Japanese also know how to cover up the peace, and they need to use some people and events to paint themselves.

Therefore, for the full moon banquet tonight, the Puppet Manchukuo Bingcheng Government and the Binjiang Provincial Government have ordered to ensure that it is held safely, and they also specially sent people to attend.

Bai Yulan is the vice president of the Bingcheng General Chamber of Commerce. She has a certain social status. Even if she doesn't have a close relationship with the Puppet Manchukuo government on weekdays, she still has to express what she should.

"Vice Mayor Yu, please."

Zhou Sen also sent an invitation to the city government, but this invitation was not sent by him on his own initiative, it was requested there.

In fact, he didn't want to get involved with the people from the city government at all, but because Bai Yulan was in the business world and dealt with the city government, it was necessary to send invitations.

The deputy mayor Yu is considered an old acquaintance of Bai Yulan, so the diligence and thrift was sent to him, and the city hall arranged for him to represent him.

As for Mayor Feng, Zhou Sen didn't even think about it. He didn't know him well, and he didn't even know him.

Even Bai Yulan met Mayor Feng once when she took office, but later, when she was out in public, she never met in private.

"Officer Zhou, congratulations!" Deputy Mayor Yu cupped his fists slightly at Zhou Sen and congratulated him.

"Thank you, Deputy Mayor Yu, please come inside." Zhou Sen hurriedly said, "Is your wife not here?"

"She doesn't like excitement."

Zhou Sen nodded, expressing his understanding.

Bai Yulan has a wide network of contacts in the business world of Bingcheng, some of them were accumulated in the past, and some of them were re-emerged later.

Of course, some people drifted away, and some new friends got along very well.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhou Sen became acquainted with Bai Yulan's circle of friends. Even if he was prepared, he bowed his hands and said polite words. After a while, his voice began to get used to it.

At the beginning, they were all ordinary guests, but the later, heavyweight guests arrived one after another. Even though Zhou Sen had already arranged parking spaces, it was still not enough.

On both sides of the street at the gate of Shiweitian, there are cars parked for a while, almost catching up with the International Automobile Expo.

The Port District Police Station specially dispatched police officers to maintain order.

"Go and ask Qin Lang, is there any reserved parking space?" Zhou Sen called Ale to him and ordered in a low voice.

Ale nodded and ran away quickly.

After a while, A Le came over out of breath: "Brother, Manager Qin said that he rented a vacant lot next door for VIP parking, and it can park about [-] cars."

"Okay, for a while, guide the guest's car to park as I said." Zhou Sen nodded, Qin Lang is still very meticulous in handling things.

beep...

Zhou Sen saw that it was Su Wenqing's car coming.

Today's Su Wenqing not only came here by himself, but also brought his newly married wife here. Seeing the slight bulge of the lower abdomen, it has been three months at least.

This guy took advantage of the opportunity to hold a full moon wine for the two boys to make an official announcement, but he was quite good at taking advantage of it.

Zhou Sen gave A Le a look, A Le immediately understood, ran over, and communicated with Su Wenqing's driver...

"Brother Zhou, congratulations."

"President Su, congratulations." Zhou Sen glanced at Su Wenqing's wife, Xiaojiabiyu, and said with a smile.

"At the end of the year, you have to prepare the red envelopes, maybe we can still be in-laws!" Su Wenqing leaned forward and said in a low voice.

"I can't make up my mind about this." Zhou Sen wouldn't marry him. His two sons and daughters are free in love and marriage.

Su Wenqing smiled, did not continue the topic, and asked, "Where are the two little guys, do we want to go and see?"

"It's in the back. I'll ask someone to take you there." Zhou Sen nodded, and hurriedly called a maid who served as a welcome guest, and asked her to lead Su Wenqing and his wife there.

One after another, colleagues from the Police Department and the former Nangang Police Station also came over, Lin Dakuan, Song Ke, Zou Shuxun, Li Shaotang...

And Kobayashi, the chief of the inspection unit, also came with his wife.

There are more and more Japanese people, Kageyama from the Security Bureau, Akiyama Nosuke from the Secret Service, and Kato from the Gendarmerie also came...

Not to mention, the deputy director of the Police Department, Matsuda Kikuo, is here, and the deputy director of the intelligence department of the Kwantung Army in Bingcheng, Sato Hideo...

These rare characters all appeared at Zhou Sen's two children's full moon banquet, and they all brought quite expensive gifts.

This made the guests who arrived earlier feel terrified, and this obviously couldn't be Bai Yulan's face.

Bai Yulan couldn't invite these people at all, so the host of today's banquet, the police officer Zhou Sen who seemed to be out of luck.

Zhou Sen also knew that the arrival of these people was intentional, but he couldn't stop it. Now, everyone may think that he is the most famous traitor in Bingcheng.

Especially Lin Dakuan and other colleagues in the police department, seeing this scene, I am afraid that they are even more envious and jealous.

The muscles on Zhou Sen's face were almost numb from laughing. Fortunately, the time for the banquet is approaching, and he is about to enter the next round of battle.

"Brother, the time is not far behind, and all the guests are here." Qin Lang rushed over, and after tonight, the business of "Food for Heaven" will usher in a huge explosion.

"Okay, you go in first, and I'll come." Zhou Sen nodded. It is estimated that no one came from behind. As the master, it is time for him to carry out the following procedures.

Just as Zhou Sen let out a long sigh of relief and was about to turn around and return, a car horn sounded.

A black car came galloping, with a "creak", a sudden brake, and the car stopped at the gate of Shiweitian.

A man pushed open the car door and got out from the back seat of the car. When he looked up, he met Zhou Sen's surprised gaze.

"Zhou Senjun!"

"Ono-kun!"

Both of them were surprised, it was Shibuya Saburo's secretary Ono who came here, isn't he in Xinjing?

"Aren't you in Xinjing?" Zhou Sen hurriedly ran over to meet him and asked.

"Officer Shibuya sent me here." Ono smiled, he could imagine how surprised Zhou Sen was when he saw him, and he saw it too.

"The teacher sent you here, why didn't you tell me in advance so that I can send someone to pick you up at the station?" Zhou Sen asked hurriedly.

"Officer Shibuya also made a temporary decision. He knew you were busy, so he didn't notify you. It's not too late for me."

"I'm so happy that you can come, why are you late?" Zhou Sen said hastily.

"This is for you, it's a congratulatory gift from the teacher." Ono handed over a document rolled up in his hand.

"What?" Zhou Sen asked.

"You'll know when you open it." Ono smiled.

Zhou Sen said: "Since it was given by the teacher, let's look at it later, let's go in first, the banquet should begin."

"Zhou Senjun, let's open it first and take a look." Ono said with a smile.

Zhou Sen was puzzled, but still followed what Ono said, he opened the rolled-up file, and was a little stunned when he saw the content on it.

"This, this, Ono-kun, the teacher's courtesy is too heavy. I was promoted to a police officer not long ago, and now I am promoted to a police officer. This is not in line with the rules!"

"Rules are for ordinary people. You are not ordinary people. Your contributions to the empire are enough to get this promotion order." Ono smiled, "Of course, there are also some help here. It’s not that Chief Shibuya made an exception for you alone!”

"What do you mean?"

"Do you still remember the Captain Ando you brought back from your mission in Khabarovsk?" Ono said.

"What does Ando-kun have to do with this matter?"

"Ando-kun has a special status. He belongs to the royal family. Your rescue saved the reputation of the empire from being damaged. We could not reward you for this credit at the time. Now, you are assigned to work in the special intelligence room and you need a police rank that you want to match, so , Chief Shibuya proposed to make an exception and raise your police rank to another level, so that you can gain greater freedom and power." Ono explained.

"Thank you Mr. Shibuya, the students are so grateful!" Zhou Sen hastily said solemnly, although it was pretended, but he knew very well that Saburo Shibuya's trick was really clever.

If it were a different person, I'm afraid it would be a wholehearted devotion to Saburo Shibuya.

"Ice City hasn't been notified about this matter yet, and the people inside probably don't know about it yet. Whether you want to announce it or not is up to you."

"Today is my son and daughter's full moon, and they are the protagonists. As a father, I will not get involved, keep a low profile, low profile." Zhou Sen said hastily.

Ono nodded, Zhou Sen was as humble and cautious as ever, which is why Saburo Shibuya valued him more and more.

It is absolutely unacceptable for those who do intelligence work to show off their personalities.

"Mr. Ono, please hurry up, I think everyone is waiting inside!" Zhou Sen hurriedly led Ono into the hall.
