Chapter 844: There Is a Kind of Victory Called Retreat

Several people were chatting and smoking.

After a while, the oldest Liu stood up and said, "The hole in our house has come out, let's go first."

Du Fei and several others responded together and looked out the window of the mail room.

I saw a middle-aged woman coming down from upstairs. When she saw Lao Liu coming out, she immediately started laughing.

Although I couldn't hear what they said, I could see a kind of passion that is rare among middle-aged couples.

At this moment, Zhu Ting also walked down from above.

Du Fei smiled, stood up and said, "I'll take a step first, see you guys~" .??.

Everyone met by chance and came and went as they pleased.

Although they have introduced each other, no one will take this as an opportunity to make friends.

Maybe it will be used for something in the future and I can think of such a person.

Now he just nodded.

Du Fei went out, met Zhu Ting, and said hello to Mr. and Mrs. Liu.

Zhu Ting and Lao Liu were not in the same department, and they did not know each other.

After all, there are hundreds of people in Xinh Club, and Zhu Ting has only been here for a short time, so it is impossible to recognize them all.

When she came outside, she was blown away by the cool night breeze. Zhu Ting shrank her neck and said, "It's quite cold today."

Du Fei smiled and took out a woolen scarf from his arms: "I thought of it earlier. Here, put it around~"

Zhu Ting smiled sweetly, took it and said, "As thoughtful as you are."

Wear a scarf and go hand in hand with Du Fei to pick up the bicycle.

In fact, Du Fei wanted to buy a car more than once.

It's just that at his current level, driving a car is too high-profile, and after careful consideration, it's still inappropriate.

Then he suppressed it.

Zhu Ting was not so squeamish. She put on her scarf and got on her bicycle, then headed home against the wind with Du Fei.

After returning home, Zhu Ting tidied up and the two of them went to bed and lay down.

Although his family had a TV, the TV programs at this time were very limited and not much to watch.

On the contrary, it is not as practical as a radio.

After washing her face and applying some emollient cream, Zhu Ting got into bed and asked, "Hey, Xiao Fei, did you receive a visiting group from Japan?"

Du Fei said "Hmm" "Who did you listen to? Why do you ask this?"

Zhu Ting said enthusiastically, "Say, how about I interview them? I wonder what the situation is like in Dongyang now?"

Du Fei smiled and said, "I follow Midi's father, and my life is pretty good."

Zhu Ting patted him and said, "Don't be dishonest. I'm telling you what's right!"

Du Fei said, "I'm not joking~ How else do you think a dozen college students can organize a visiting group? They don't have any official background. Although it doesn't cost money to come to our place for food and accommodation, the round trip expenses still cost. There are other expenses, but they are all paid for by yourself..."

And at the same time.

In the guest house where the visiting group stayed.

In Nagano Toban's house, Okamoto Shinzo and another young man stood dejectedly.

Nagano Toban frowned and said, "That's really what they said over there? Did you take out Mr. Yamada's name card?"

Okamoto Shinzo said helplessly, "I'm very sorry. We have already obtained Mr. Yamada's name card, but... the other party still insists that Lin Tiansheng is not in the capital."

Nagano Toban was silent for a moment, "Mr. Yamada is a veteran of Toyo's popular industry. He once paid a visit to x. If even his name card is not available, it seems that Lin Tiansheng is indeed not in the capital. They haven't said when he will come back?"

"Sorry~" Okamoto Shinzo apologized again.

Nagano Toban waved his hand, "What a pity~ According to Mr. Yamada's judgment, this year's incident in Xiangjiang is likely to be a test for them. Lin had expected it, but Du was a new face, but his status as the son-in-law of the Zhu family , it seems that it is not incomprehensible... Now that I can't see Lin, Du has only one choice..."

The next day, Du Fei rode his bicycle to the unit.

As usual, I simply packed up and picked up today's newspaper to read.

But at this moment, Li Dong knocked on the door from outside and came in.

"Da Li, come in and sit down."

Du Fei put down the newspaper, stood up with a smile and sat down on the edge of the sofa.

Li Dong is now in charge of the affairs of the Dongyang delegation, so it should be the same thing when he comes here early in the morning.

Sure enough, as soon as Li Dong sat down, he said, "Section Chief, it's those little Dongyang guys."

Du Fei said "Hmm" "What's wrong with them? Are they trying to make trouble?"

Li Dong said hurriedly, "That's not true. They want to go to Quanjude today."

Try the roast duck and hope to invite you along. "

Du Fei frowned, "Eating roast duck? That thing is very expensive. Our entertainment fee is not enough."

The Foreign Economic and Trade Commission's foreign-related entertainment has standards. Generally, the entertainment standards vary according to the level.

A delegation of Japanese students like this one is unofficial and the level of hospitality is very low.

Logically speaking, eating roast duck is definitely not enough.

Li Dong said, "They know that they will take the money themselves this time, but the group leader, Okamoto Shinzo, said that he hit it off with you and wants to invite you to join him."

"We felt like old friends at first sight?" Du Fei curled his lips and said, "I fell in love with a little devil at first sight."

When Li Dong heard this, he also smiled and advised: "Section Chief, we are international friends after all~"

Du Fei also smiled and said, "Yes, we are all international friends, and we don't get anything for nothing." He then said, "Li, go and make arrangements. By the way, tell the comrades in Quanjude that you don't need to be polite to them and do it again." All menu prices have doubled.”

Li Dong was startled for a moment, then he laughed, gave Du Fei a thumbs up gesture, and then hurried away again.

After sending Li Dong away, Du Fei didn't take it too seriously.

It was just a bunch of Japanese who wanted to eat roast duck. If they wanted to eat it, let them eat it. Pay the price. No one should cheat.

But they insisted on asking him to go. Du Fei was a little confused. He didn't know what these Japanese were up to.

Then he picked up the phone and told Zhu Ting that he had a social event in the evening and might be late. He asked her to go back to the government compound with Zhu's mother.

In the evening, they came to the guesthouse where the delegation stayed.

Because the daytime schedule was full, if they wanted to eat roast duck, they could only go at night.

Du Fei met Okamoto Shinzo again and said with a smile, "Okamoto-kun, thank you for your invitation."

Okamoto Shinzo bowed slightly, "Dusan, it's my honor."

However, unlike Du Fei's expectation that all the staff would go out, there were only eight people who went to eat roast duck this time, including Du Fei.

Then they took a bus to the door of Quanjude.

Everyone walked in and went straight to a large private room.

Quanjude often entertains foreign guests and is very experienced.

Li Dong had arranged everything, and the duck was roasted in advance. When they came, it was almost cooked.

In addition to the duck, Okamoto Shinzo ordered a few more dishes.

He should have done some homework in advance, and the dishes he ordered were quite standard.

But when it came to what to drink, Du Fei interrupted with a smile, "Mr. Okamoto, don't order wine. You treat me to duck, and I treat you to wine." He raised his hand and looked at the watch, "It should be time now."

As he was talking, the door of the private room was knocked.

A waiter followed in, followed by Sun Dasheng, holding a box of Erguotou, and walked into the room and called Du Fei "Section Chief".

Du Fei smiled and said, "Red Star Erguotou, our Beijing liquor, goes well with roast duck."

"Erguotou?" Okamoto Shinzo obviously hadn't heard of Erguotou. "Sorry, Dusan, I only know "Bai Gan" and "Moutai" in China."

Du Fei smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, I'll let you know today."

As he was talking, Sun Dasheng had just said goodbye and left, and a young man who was considered tall among the Japanese came in from outside.

Du Fei had an impression of this person, the deputy head of the delegation, Nagano Toufan.

He was about 1.75 meters tall, with very broad shoulders, and looked very burly.

And his aura was stronger than that of the head of the delegation, Okamoto Shinzo.

As soon as Nagano Toufan came in, he bowed first: "Sorry, Comrade Du Fei~I'm late."

"Comrade?" Du Fei was stunned. Where did he get this from?

Okamoto Shinzo explained beside him, "Dusan, Nagano-kun is the secretary-general of the Kansai branch of the Oriental Youth League."

Du Fei heard this and realized that the "comrade" was not wrong.

"Comrade Nagano

Hello~" Du Fei was surprised, and then overjoyed, and shook hands with Nagano-kun.

In fact, he had known Nagano-kun's identity from the information.

It's just that now that he brought it up, he naturally had to take it up, otherwise it would be embarrassing.

After a round of greetings, the host and the guest sat down.

Du Fei sat next to Nagano, and Okamoto sat on the other side.

"Nagano-kun, you joined the party in 1963, so you are still my predecessor!" Du Fei laughed and chatted.

Nagano-kun said, "I am very ashamed. Although I joined the party early, I have not made any achievements. Dusan's actions in Hong Kong have greatly hit the arrogance of Teikoku Zhuyi. He is really a role model for my generation and is admirable."

At this time, the duck in the store was served.

Du Fei and his friends stopped praising each other and started watching the master slice the duck. Du Fei then demonstrated how to roll a lotus leaf pancake.

The Japanese ate until their mouths were full of oil.

But it should be said that Japanese people don’t eat much.

There were several big men, and only Nagano Dongfan was quite generous. The others were like eating cat food. ??

They didn’t even eat the two ducks.

But they were quite active in drinking.

They were eager to try Erguotou after hearing Du Fei introduce it.

But they thought it was Japanese sake, and they filled up all the half-liang wine cups.

Du Fei laughed in his heart and didn’t remind them.

Sake, that thing, has an alcohol content of only 15 or 16 degrees, and the highest does not exceed 30 degrees.

Red Star Erguotou, 53 degrees.

After drinking it in one gulp, the Japanese choked and almost rolled their eyes.

Several people started coughing.

On the other hand, Nagano Dongfan seemed to have seen this before. Although his face flushed, he did not lose his composure.

After finishing, he exhaled a breath of alcohol and felt his throat burning. He could not help but shout "good wine".

Du Fei smiled and picked up the bottle, "Good wine, drink more."

"Ha~" Nagano Dongfan accepted all the wine and drank two in a row with Du Fei.

Not to mention, this guy has a good alcohol tolerance. After nearly two taels of Erguotou, he didn't react much except that his face was a little red.

After the chef who sliced ​​duck went down, there was no limit to the content of the chat.

In addition, after a few glasses of wine, people's self-control began to decline, and some words that were hidden in their stomachs and difficult to say came out.

One of the Japanese youths said, "Du Sang, excuse me for being presumptuous."

Du Fei looked at him. He remembered that this man seemed to be called Taro Nakamoto. Since he got off the train that day, he had an arrogant look on his face and looked at everything with a sense of scrutiny.

"What do you have to say, Mr. Nakamoto?" Du Fei put down his chopsticks with a smile, guessing that there would be no good words below.

Taro Nakamoto said, "This is my first time in China. Before coming here, I heard a lot of legends. The powerful China defeated the United States head-on, and a few years ago, it made India surrender. But..."

Du Fei has been waiting for these two words for a long time.

Taro Nakamoto said, "However, when I came here this time, I only saw difficulties and..."

Before he could say the more unpleasant things next, Nagano Toban shouted: "Nakamoto-kun, you are drunk!"

Just when Taro Nakamoto was talking, he was suddenly poured cold water on him.

If Du Fei was furious, he wouldn't be afraid at all.

Anyway, in two days he would just slap his ass and leave.

But Nagano Toban is someone he cannot offend.

Taro Nakamoto shuddered and immediately shut up.

Nagano Toban turned to Du Fei and said, "Du Sang, I'm very sorry. Mr. Nakamoto is too drunk and his words were inappropriate just now. I apologize on his behalf and will fine him three drinks."

As he spoke, he started pouring himself wine.

How could Du Fei let him punish himself?

That would be acknowledging that what Taro Nakamoto said just now hit a sore spot.

Du Fei reached out and held down Nagano Toban.

Nagano Toban struggled for a moment, and his expression suddenly changed.

The Nagano family is a famous samurai family in Kansai.

Although the samurai has long since declined in modern times, he has experienced rigorous training since he was a child.

His power is far greater than that of ordinary people.

But at this time, he

Being grabbed by Du Fei's wrist was like being clamped by a vise, and he couldn't break free at all.

"Dusan~" Nagano Toban called out.

But Du Fei patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "Nagano-kun, don't be nervous. In fact, what Nakamoto-kun said just now is right."

Nagano Toban was stunned, and the young people in the delegation present were also a little surprised.

Unexpectedly, Du Fei actually agreed with what he just said.

Especially for Taro Nakamoto, who deliberately provoked him, Du Fei's reaction was beyond his expectation.

Du Fei paused and continued: "I know that Japan has developed very well in recent years, and people's living standards have improved rapidly. This is a fact, and there is no need to deny it. As for the reason..."

Having said this, Du Fei smiled and said: "You are all the elites of the East, so you shouldn't understand, right? In the current environment, the reason why the East has been able to develop is because of the support from the United States. They need You are on the front line and become their bridgehead. I say this, is it okay?"

Nagano Toban nodded with a stern expression.

Even Taro Nakamoto had nothing to say.

As Du Fei said, they are all elites, not ordinary people. Of course they understand what Du Fei said.

"Actually, speaking of it, our situations are quite similar..."

Du Fei looked at them and said slowly, "But the biggest difference between our two families is that we can refuse and say 'no,' but you...can't."

Taro Nakamoto's face suddenly turned ugly, and Nagano Toban was also a little moved.

In fact, Du Fei spoke like a knife, seemingly unhurriedly, but his words directly penetrated people's lungs.

Du Fei continued: "However, any choice comes with a price. We refuse..."

Du Fei looked at Taro Nakamoto, "Nakamoto-kun, what you just said is the price you pay."

Everyone is understanding, and everyone present understood what Du Fei meant.

Du Feizhuan asked, "Nakamoto-kun, if you had a choice now, would you choose the current prosperity or the temporary difficulties like us?"

"I..." Nakamoto Taro blushed.

He wanted to bite the bullet, but that meant nothing.

It would be fine if he was just an ordinary citizen, but he is not.

He considers himself an elite and a forerunner of Toyoko no Ming. He has his own ideals and beliefs.

"Sorry, Dusan, I'm too superficial! Please forgive me!" Taro Nakamoto finally chose to face it, stood up from his seat, bowed deeply, and expressed his apology.

Du Fei said, "Nakamoto-kun, you don't need to apologize. But you have to understand that life is never a straight road. Victory lies in the distance, and the road is tortuous. We must always be mentally prepared to encounter difficulties. There is a kind of victory called retreat. , there is a kind of failure called occupation..."

Taro Nakamoto's face turned pale and he was ashamed.

Just now, the prosperity he was showing off was precisely this kind of failure...

After this interlude, we ate and drank for a while.

Du Fei followed the bus and took these staggering Japanese people back to the guest house.

When he was done, he took out his bicycle from his pocket and returned to the courtyard.

I haven't seen Qin Huairou in the past month, so I just happened to go back today to comfort her.

Meanwhile, in the guest house room.

Nagano Toban returned to the house and immediately got into the bathroom.

Although he has a good drinking capacity, it is only relative to the average person.

I drank too much with Du Fei just now, so I just held it back and didn't spit it out in front of Du Fei.

After I finished vomiting, I still felt burning in my stomach, but I felt much better than before.

A few minutes later, Okamoto Shinzo knocked on the door and came in.

He had also just finished vomiting, but because he drank less, his condition was better than Nagano Toban.

"Nagano-kun, are you okay?" Okamoto Shinzo asked as he came in.

Nagano Toban waved his hand, "It's okay. Make arrangements tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow. I want to meet Du Fei alone."

Okamoto Shinzo said, "Nagano-kun, have you decided?"

Nagano Toban nodded: "That's him! If we want to succeed, in addition to accumulating strength, we must have strong foreign aid. Otherwise... Gowala

This is our lesson. "

Okamoto Shinzo could see that Nagano Toban had mixed emotions.

They had known each other for a long time and knew about Nagano Toban's past.

Once, Gowala was Nagano Touban's idol, and he longed to become the Gowala of the East.

But now the idol is dead.

"I know, Nagano-kun, don't worry." Okamoto Shinzo nodded solemnly, and then asked, "By the way, what did the liaison office say to you this afternoon?"

Nagano Touban snorted coldly, "What else can I say? It's just those old-fashioned things, a bunch of people who are just sitting there doing nothing."

Okamoto Shinzo said, "Even so, we should also strive for all the power we can. I heard that the father of Honda, the director of the representative office, has a great influence in Osaka."
