Chapter 260: Punishment (Part 1)

"Okay! Well said!"

At this time, a praise came from a table not far away from Gu Weijun. Gu Weijun turned his head and looked over, with a hint of surprise flashing on his face. He saw only a well-dressed young Chinese man sitting on the table, with some Chinese side dishes and a pot of white porcelain Luzhou Laojiao. This scene was particularly eye-catching in a room full of Western dishes. What surprised Gu Weijun the most was that behind the young Chinese was a foreigner in manager's clothes. His manner was unimaginable.

Gu Weijun has also contacted this foreigner in the past few days and knew that he was the top-class waiter manager on the ship, and was proficient in Eastern and Western cultures. He could speak Beijing dialect better than most Chinese people. Moreover, his identity on the ship was only a little lower than that of the captain and first mate. Although this foreigner had a deep affection for Chinese, he was only a friend of etiquette when he got along with Gu Weijun. It was impossible to behave and look respectful like the young Chinese in front of him.

These two were the master and apprentice Xu Changqing and Andy. Originally, Xu Changqing didn't want to attend such a dinner party, but in the end he couldn't resist Andy's persuasion, so he reluctantly participated. After the dance, Andy really gave him a surprise. Not only did he make a few authentic Fujian side dishes, but he also took out a pot of aged Luzhou Laojiao, which made him more satisfied with the newly accepted apprentice.

Since Andy has been standing behind Xu Changqing, the foreigners at the dance thought he was a big shot. They did not show much contempt in their words or sight, but more curious. What's more, some foreign merchants who do oriental trade and noble ladies who are curious about oriental culture also came over to make friends with him, which made his treatment at the dance completely opposite to Gu Weijun and others.

Although he was not discriminated against, Xu Changqing could still feel humiliation from Gu Weijun and others, so the expression on his face always seemed particularly cold. After that, he also heard the humiliating words of the big-nosed foreigner, frowned slightly, and felt a little unhappy in his heart. But then he heard Gu Weijun's theory of enduring humiliation, which made him nod and couldn't help but applaud.

At this time, Andy bent down and told Xu Changqing that Gu Weijun's identity. After Xu Changqing heard this, his face was slightly stunned. He had always been concerned about practical things and naturally knew who Gu Weijun was. He could only rely on his own knowledge to overwhelm everyone and become Sun Yixian's secretary. From this point of view alone, Gu Weijun is definitely not an ordinary person.

"Go and invite him here." Seeing this talent, Xu Changqing couldn't help but feel like making friends, so he ordered Andy.

Upon hearing this, Andy immediately stepped forward to ask for an invitation. Gu Weijun was also curious about the young Chinese in front of him. He always felt that he had seen this young Chinese, but he couldn't remember it. So he gave instructions to everyone beside him, and then led by Andy, stood up and walked towards Xu Changqing.

"Xu Changqing!" Seeing Gu Weijun coming, Xu Changqing immediately stood up and greeted him, followed the Western handshake gift, stretched out his hand, and said.

"Gu Weijun!" Gu Weijun was also a simple and direct person, and he shook Xu Changqing's hand very naturally.

Xu Changqing led the people to the seat, then opened the wine pot with his own hands, poured a glass of wine for Gu Weijun, and raised his glass and said, "Mr. Gu's theory of enduring humiliation just now is really admirable. After all, there is no shortage of passionate men who serve the country and the people on my land of China. What they really lack are those great talents who have ambitions and endurance for the country. Mr. Gu is such a talent. Please drink this cup and express my respect!"

"I can't bear Mr. Xu's praise, Gu is ashamed!" Gu Weijun did not refuse, drank the wine in the glass, put down the glass, and sat down with Xu Changqing, and asked: "Gu took the initiative to ask, did Mr. Xu have ever had an intersection with Gu? I don't know why Gu felt like he had seen him before when he saw him?"

Xu Changqing smiled and said, "Mr. Gu has such a good eye. I did meet Mr. Gu when I boarded the boat in Hong Kong, but Mr. Gu was surrounded by everyone at that time. I wonder if he had seen Mr. Xu?"

"Hong Kong?" Gu Weijun was stunned. He soon remembered the figure that made Chen Hui extremely respectful. His expression immediately became very strange, and he tried to ask: "I wonder if Mr. Xu knows Mr. Chen Hui, the head of the Chen family, the Hong Kong family?"

"I have really seen me after seeing Mr. Gu!" Xu Changqing was also stunned for a moment and smiled: "I do know Chen Hui, and I am also very familiar with the Chen family."

Gu Weijun, who knew the depth of the Chen family, immediately became restrained, and his behavior seemed respectful, and he clasped his fists and said, "Gu is really blind..."

"Mr. Gu doesn't have to do this." Xu Changqing interrupted Gu Weijun and chuckled: "Although I have a very short relationship with the Chen family and have met several times with some important members of your Republic of China government, we each have their own relationships. On this ship, Mr. Gu will just think that I am a patriotic young man, and there is no need to use such etiquette in the officialdom."

"Sir, right." Gu Weijun nodded, and his behavior became much more natural.

Seeing that Gu Weijun relaxed, Xu Changqing raised some questions about his knowledge, and Gu Weijun responded freely. Later, Gu Weijun also tried to raise some current affairs issues to Xu Changqing. At the same time, he was surprised to find that Xu Changqing's views on current affairs trends were far beyond the reach of ordinary people, and almost hit the nail on the head.

So, during this question and answer, the two exchanged their ideas as if they had been friends for many years. The two of them were both knowledgeable and had different views on many things. Xu Changqing always looked at some problems and events from the overall situation as an outsider, and often could accurately find out the key points. However, Gu Weijun was used to treating himself as an insider. The first thing he thought of was solutions and countermeasures. The two had different ways of looking at things, but they could complement each other. This also made them regard each other as confidants for many years after a conversation.

"Since Brother Xu has such profound knowledge and insights, why not serve the country?" Gu Weijun hesitated for a moment and advised: "Brother Xu's whole body is the art of conquering heaven and earth. The country is now lacking talents like Brother Xu. If Brother Xu can join in, it will definitely..."
