Chapter 212: The Mat at the Japanese Dinner

Chapter 212: The Mat at the Japanese Dinner

The next afternoon, butler Anthony drove to Huangpu Pharmacy on time and picked up Zhang Dongliang.

Anthony has lived in Shanghai for several years and is familiar with the roads in each neighborhood.

After Zhang Dongliang gave the address, Anthony drove to the designated location with ease.

This is a typical Japanese-style building in Hongkou District. After Anthony parked the car in front of the villa, he ran over to open the door for Zhang Dongliang, and Zhang Dongliang got out of the car.

"Mr. Zhang, should I wait for you here or come pick you up later?"

"You don't have to wait for me here, Anthony. Just go home and have dinner, and then come pick me up in two hours."

"Okay, Mr. Zhang, I'll be waiting for you at the door in two hours. Have a good dinner."

Anthony bowed and drove away.

There were three people standing at the door of the villa. One of them was the bow-legged man that Zhang Dongliang saw yesterday, standing at the door to greet guests.

The other two were Nihongo ronin carrying samurai swords and acting as security guards.

Zhang Dongliang had just taken out the invitation when the bow-legged man ran up to him and said, "Zhang-san, please come in."

Don't you want to see the invitation? Zhang Dongliang felt a little disappointed.

I had originally thought that I would have some conflict with those two ronin when reading the invitation, but now my wish has been dashed.

In fact, when Zhang Dongliang got off the car, Bow-legged was shocked to see that the driver was an American. Because he had seen Zhang Dongliang before, he didn't need to look at the invitation.

"Please come in, Mr. Zhang. Mrs. Yamaguchi is waiting for you." Bow-legged man said as he led Zhang Dongliang forward.

When I was almost at the entrance of the villa, the door opened and Yamaguchi Kaori came out.

"Mr. Zhang, I'm sorry for not welcoming you in person." Yamaguchi Kaori bowed to welcome the guest.

"You're welcome, Miss Xiangzi."

"Please come in, Mr. Zhang."

After entering the villa and passing through a sliding wooden door, I arrived at the reception area.

"Sir, please take off your shoes." As soon as he entered the reception room, a clay woman bent down and took off Zhang Dongliang's shoes.

Zhang Dongliang has never eaten mud-bone cuisine because he doesn't like it, and he hates the practice of taking off shoes at every turn.

It would be fine if they wore slippers, but they didn't. They just walked around in socks, which was really uncomfortable and disgusting.

Forget it, just treat it as a life experience. There is no need to bother with such trivial details.

When the maid helped him take off his shoes, Zhang Dongliang looked up and saw that Xu Wenqiang was already waiting there.

Xu Wenqiang was beaten like a pig's head by Liu Ming and others from Jingwumen a few days ago. The swelling would not go down so quickly.

From a distance, Xu Wenqiang's face was blue, purple and black. This face, coupled with his British-style formal suit, made him look unserious.

"Mr. Xu, you went to steal someone's young lady. Did you get beaten by her husband?"

"You~~"

At this moment, Xu Wenqiang felt his anger rising to the sky.

"I will endure it, I will endure it, I must endure it." This is Yamaguchi Kaori's residence, this is Yamaguchi Kaori's territory, Xu Wenqiang dare not act rashly here.

"It's just a joke, Mr. Xu, don't be so angry."

"Besides, Mr. Xu already has a beauty like Yamaguchi Xiangzi, how could he still do those things?"

Zhang Dongliang's poisonous tongue flew out like a dart.

Xu Wenqiang did have extraordinary self-control and patience. He suppressed his anger and did not respond to Zhang Dongliang's words.

"Zhang-san misunderstood. Xu-san and I are just working partners. There is nothing else going on."

Seeing that Zhang Dongliang seemed to have a deep misunderstanding about this matter, Yamaguchi Kaori hurriedly explained.

"How could I have any misunderstanding? Didn't the newspaper say that? You already have two children."

Xu Wenqiang now really wanted to pull out his gun and kill Zhang Dongliang. He could no longer tolerate it.

But when he touched his pocket, he found that his gun had been taken away by the guard when he entered the room.

"That's all nonsense in the newspapers. Please don't believe it easily, Mr. Zhang."

"Zhang-san, please take a seat."

It seems that Zhang Dongliang has a lot of dissatisfaction with Xu Wenqiang, and he will not let go of the slightest problem.

This question also involved herself. Could it be that this Chinese man coveted her beauty and was dissatisfied with Xu Wenqiang? Yamaguchi Xiangzi thought secretly.

However, they couldn't be allowed to fight at this time, so Yamaguchi Kaori quickly spoke up to smooth things over and arranged for Zhang Dongliang to take a seat.

There was a long desk. Yamaguchi Kaori and Xu Wenqiang were kneeling on one side of the desk, and the other side was reserved for Zhang Dongliang.

After Yamaguchi Kaori knelt down, she held the wine jug and prepared to pour wine for Zhang Dongliang, but she saw that Zhang Dongliang was still standing beside the table, looking hesitant.

"Mr. Zhang, why don't you sit down?" Yamaguchi Kaori felt very strange when she saw Zhang Dongliang's look.

"Ms. Yamaguchi Kaori, my knees are not very good. I really don't like kneeling. Please forgive me."

"Isn't kneeling a noble etiquette in ancient China? Is it possible that Zhang Sang is not familiar with this etiquette?"

"Ms. Yamaguchi Kaori, do you have any misunderstanding about the etiquette of kneeling?

In ancient times, the Chinese adopted the method of kneeling, mainly because there were no stools to sit on at that time, so they had no choice but to kneel.

How stupid is it to kneel down instead of sitting on a stool?"

Yamaguchi Xiangzi suddenly felt that what Zhang Sang said made sense. But she was a noble, so she had to kneel down. Etiquette was a big deal and could not be ignored.

Zhang Dongliang searched the small world with his mental power for a long time and found a stool. "Okay, this is it."

A mysterious smile suddenly appeared on Zhang Dongliang's face.

"Ms. Yamaguchi Kaori, I actually have a hidden identity that you may not know."

Yamaguchi Xiangzi was delighted: "Could it be that Zhang Dongliang has fallen for my beauty so quickly?"

"What do you mean by that, Zhang Sang? Does Zhang Sang have any big surprises for us to see?"

Yamaguchi Kaori suppressed her inner surprise and asked Zhang Dongliang with a calm expression.

"Yes, Ms. Yamaguchi Kaori, I have another hidden identity. Sometimes I often play the role of a magician."

"Magician?" A look of suspicion appeared on Yamaguchi Kaori's face.

The expression on Zhang Dongliang's face became even more mysterious.

"Look, Ms. Yamaguchi Kaori, since I don't like kneeling, there must be a way to solve this problem, otherwise this dinner party can't go on."

"That Zhang Sang you~~"

"Ms. Yamaguchi Kaori, please look~~"

Before Zhang Dongliang finished speaking, he took out a stool with his hands behind his back.

"Is this a Chinese stool?"

Yamaguchi Kaori was a little incoherent and her face was disheveled in the wind.

"Yes, Miss Xiangzi, look at this problem~~ Isn't it solved like this?"

Zhang Dongliang put the stool on the ground with a smile, sat on it, and looked at Yamaguchi Xiangzi and Xu Wenqiang who were kneeling opposite him, his heart filled with joy.

"Ms. Yamaguchi Kaori, if you sit on your knees often, you will become bow-legged. This is not a good thing for a beautiful woman."

Zhang Dongliang gave a kind reminder.

"Would you like me to help Miss Yamaguchi Kaori conjure up a stool?"

"No need, Zhang Sang, really no need."

Yamaguchi Kaori's brain has crashed, and this time her speech is truly incoherent.
