Chapter 1044 They don't even try to hide it from people!
Even after the event ended, Gu Baoheng didn't get a chance to speak to Master Lin alone, which made him somewhat uneasy.
That night, Gu Baoheng, who was staying at the Six Nations Hotel, felt restless and couldn't sleep. He also drank alcohol and felt angry.
He summoned his attendant and said, "I've heard that there's a place in Beiping called the Seventh or Ninth Hutong?"
The attendant immediately understood. "Oh, I've heard of a place where you can drink tea, listen to music, and sober up. Why don't you go and give them some pointers?"
Gu Baoheng's mood finally improved. "The curfew is about to start. Let the hotel arrange a car. Let's stay there for the night."
The attendant was also very happy. Director Gu must be willing to spend money in such a place. He would probably spend a lot of money to sleep with the top courtesan. The attendant didn't need to sleep with the top courtesan. He could just sleep with a maid. After all, with such a big customer, the madam would have to offer a buy-one-get-one-free deal.
He hurried downstairs to find someone to arrange a car, but to his surprise, Del Mo smiled and said, "I'm sorry, all the cars have been used to take the celebrities to the banquet tonight. How about I arrange a limousine for you?"
If it were anyone else, the attendants would have already started cursing.
Unfortunately, this Delmo was a foreigner. His attendants weren't afraid to beat up ordinary people, even restaurant owners, but when it came to foreigners, they always preferred to downplay the issue.
He ran upstairs and reported the incident to Gu Baoheng, who also scolded him, asking why he hadn't slapped the man twice.
The attendant whispered, "Director Gu, the restaurant manager is a foreigner. Think about it, running such a large business on Japanese territory, and the manager is a Westerner... there's something to this..."
Gu Baoheng waved his hand, "Then forget it."
The attendant thought Gu Baoheng had given up on the idea of visiting brothels, but to his surprise, Gu Baoheng added, "A rickshaw it is! Bring me my fur coat, so I won't be cold on the way!"

Lin Mansion, Flower Hall.
The small charcoal stove sat on a copper plate, filled with the finest silver-thread charcoal.
The water in the small copper kettle was bubbling and boiling. Lin Ze picked it up and poured it into a small purple clay teapot.
Two cups of tea were poured. "Miyamoto, it's getting cold. Have some black tea. It's from Fujian province. I can't tell the difference between good and bad, but it's not bad."
Miyamoto, keeping his eyes down and his mind focused, held up the teacup, smelled it, and praised it as good tea.
He felt more at ease when Mieko wasn't around.
"Miyamoto, how was your trip back to Japan?"
Miyamoto shook his head. "Mr. Lin, to be honest, this trip back didn't quite achieve my goal. Miyamoto Trading Company has indeed become a behemoth, even holding its own against established conglomerates. However, things are different in China and Southeast Asia compared to Japan. In Japan, those established conglomerates value their deep-rooted foundations..."
Lin Ze chuckled, "They haven't been rich for generations, have they? 'Inherited heritage'? I think they just want to be barbecued..."
"barbecue?"
Lin Ze coughed and said, "Miyamoto, enter the industries you can. You must enter industries like iron manufacturing and shipbuilding, even if those conglomerates unite to resist you. As for the others, focus on acquisitions and mergers. In addition to focusing on industries, you can also pay more attention to land."
"Yes, please rest assured. I never dared to dream that Miyamoto Trading Company would be where it is today. If it weren't for you, I, Miyamoto, would still be just an insignificant small businessman. How could I be a guest of honor for so many important people like I am today?"
"This is nothing. Miyamoto, when you go to Tianjin in the future, if you have nothing to do, talk to Dominic more often."
"Old Duo? That American?"
Lin Ze smiled and said, "You might have to rely on him a lot when you do business in Japan in the future!"

People are always full of energy and enthusiasm when they go to visit brothels.
By this time, the wind in Beiping was already quite cold at night, but Gu Baoheng, wearing a fox fur hat and a fur robe, did not feel cold at all.
The attendants weren't cold either, because they were sweating from running alongside the carriage.
A gentle breeze blew, and the effects of the wine intensified. Gu Baoheng shook his head and swayed, "The scenery in this capital city is indeed different from other places. In Nanjing, it was all about the elegance of the Qinhuai River. From boarding the boat to going to bed, it would take at least ten or fifteen days. But look at Beiping, where you can ride in a rickshaw, feel the wind, chat, and enjoy a more open and unrestrained atmosphere. It has a unique kind of rugged beauty!"
The attendant, in his habitual attempt to flatter, found himself forced to shut up as soon as he opened his mouth.
Just two alleys away from Qin Sheng Alley, several people suddenly darted out from around the corner.
The driver was startled, turned up the carbide lamp, and angrily shouted, "What are you doing, playing tricks on me in the middle of the night! I'm carrying important guests, if..."
Normally, a coachman wouldn't dare to curse like that.
But today's guests are from the Six Nations Hotel, and they've brought their own servants. They're obviously important people, which gives the coachman the confidence to curse.
I originally thought these people would apologize quickly, or simply ignore me and leave.
Unexpectedly, these people walked towards the coachman.
By the light of the moon and the carbide lamp, it was clear that the group was dressed in black and had their faces covered.
The driver was terrified.
No way, there are actually roadblocks in the city?
"You, squat down over there."
"Hey!"
The driver obediently put down the cart and squatted down to the side.
Gu Baoheng was half sober by this point, and cursed himself for being a bit too high-spirited today.
To come out like this with only a personal attendant and no guards, and then encounter something like this, is truly bad luck...
"Gentlemen, it's late at night. I have some money here. Let me treat you to a drink."
Gu Baoheng certainly didn't have any money on him, but with a gesture, his attendant naturally stepped forward to give him the money.
This servant, who usually bullied ordinary people, was trembling with fear at this moment, and took out a few silver dollars and handed them over.
The burly man in black at the head of the group took it, then looked with interest at the rather handsome attendant.
His attendants felt uneasy under his gaze.
The man spoke, his voice rough, "Take off his clothes."
The attendant was dumbfounded and on the verge of tears.
After a while, his cries could be heard coming from the alley.
"No, at least find a room!"
"chilly!"
"The ground is freezing cold; what if someone gets sick from the cold!"
Gu Baoheng was also dumbfounded.
What the hell!
They don't even try to hide it from people!
Then he became genuinely frightened. If he were treated the same way, and the news got out, he wouldn't be able to continue as an official; he would be so ashamed that he would kill himself!
"My lords! I have money, please show me some respect!"
As the burly man worked, he said, "Isn't all your money in this servant's arms? Or do you rich people like to carry money on your person when you go out?"
Gu Baoheng's throat bobbed, his mind filled with chills.
"Alright, stop looking, you take off your clothes too!"
