Perhaps it was Song Tianyao's last words, "Hong Kong, a place ruled by foreigners," that stirred something in Tan Jingwei. With a sigh, Tan Jingwei patted Song Tianyao on the back and said earnestly:
"Hong Kong belongs to the China person. One day, we China person will drive out the Britain from Hong Kong just like the Japan did when they invaded China. At that time, whether it's Hong Kong, Taiwan, Macau, or the mainland, only China person will remain. We won't need to distinguish between Shanghai people, Hong Kong, Macau residents, and Taiwan person like we do now. Everyone will be equal, without distinction, in a peaceful and prosperous era. Before every prosperous era arrives, there must be twists and turns. Just focus on your small business, strive to survive, and you will eventually see that day."
As Tan Jingwei patted Song Tianyao on the back, Huang Liu and Fourth Brother, who were playing chess, turned to look at the two of them at the same time. Only after Tan Jingwei withdrew his hand did they look away. Huang Liu pushed his pawn forward one step. "Advance the pawn."
"It seems Yu Shiting is really busy today." Song Tianyao looked out the window Boss Yu the servants in the courtyard, seemingly forgetting that there were four people waiting to see Yu Shiting inside. The closest Yu Family was already standing twenty or thirty meters away. "He can't be deliberately avoiding seeing me or you, can he?"
"I heard that Yu Shiting Boss Yu an adopted daughter who is even more beautiful than Boss Yu. It seems that apart from his family, very few people have ever seen her." Tan Jingwei smiled at Song Tianyao, "I heard this from a friend of mine from back in Shanghai."
Song Tianyao paused for a moment, then turned to look at Tan Jingwei with a more nonchalant smile, "Since you can bring it up, you must have a way to meet her, right? I don't care. I'm a notorious womanizer; I'm not afraid to offend Yu Shiting just to see a woman."
Tan Jingwei turned his head and pointed to the poem "Magpie Bridge Wanyan Liang" by Wanyan Liang hanging inside the building, and laughed heartily:
"Even when you were staring at this poem, I knew we were kindred spirits."
Their gazes fell upon a piece of cursive script hanging above the pavilion:
I stop drinking and singing, waiting for the moon to rise from the sea. But from where does this cloud come from, forming a vast, heaven-reaching obstacle?
He twisted off a bushy beard, his starry eyes snapped open, only regretting that the sword was not sharp enough. With a single swing, he severed Ziyun's waist, and upon closer inspection, saw the figure of Chang'e.
Chapter 479 Mashima Hospital
It's easy for men to get closer; any one of the four virtues—wine, women, wealth, and power—can spark a conversation with a stranger.
While Song Tianyao and Tan Jingwei were joking about Yu Shiting's adopted daughter in Sheung Wan, Hong Kong Island, out of boredom, someone in the Eastern District of Hong Kong Island was also talking about the two of them.
The intersection Wan Chai Hwo Tao Road Junction, Hong Kong Island.
Thailand warlord Sai Charonwan, dressed in civilian clothes, stepped out of a car, followed by his men, including Paitoon and Nairen. Paitoon frowned as he looked at the somewhat dilapidated building in front of him, on which hung the words "Men's STD Clinic".
"Sai Ba, they're so rude, in a place like this..." Paitoon said to Sai Zhalunwang.
Sai Charonwang waved his hand, a slight smile appearing on his wrinkled face, "It's not that they're being rude, we're all just living under someone else's roof. Don't be picky about where you meet for tea. Stop thinking of yourself as Nationalist Army; you're a Thailand expatriate residing in Hong Kong."
After saying that, Sai Zhalunwang walked towards the "Men's Venereal Disease Clinic".
The glass door of the clinic opened, and a man and a woman dressed in white doctor's coats politely welcomed Sai Zhalunwang inside. To the surprise of Paitoon and the others, the building, which looked dilapidated from the outside, actually had an elevator inside. They took the elevator to the third floor, where the two doctors led the way down a long corridor, inviting Sai Zhalunwang into an office with the words "Director" on it. When Paitoon, Nairen, and the others tried to follow Sai Zhalunwang inside, they were politely but firmly stopped at the door by the two doctors.
Just as Paitoon clenched his fist, about to make a move, Sai Zhalunwang spoke up from inside the office.
"Tun, Ren, wait for me outside."
Paitoon stared at the man and woman blocking his way, slowly backed away, and replied, "Yes, Sai Ba, I'll wait outside the door."
The office door was gently closed by a female doctor who looked to be in her thirties, but had striking features and a stunning figure. In the corridor, Paitoon and Nairen faced off in silence with the two doctors.
Inside the office, a thin, short old man in a suit was greeting Sai Zhalunwang. He stood straight and bowed slightly to Sai Zhalunwang, while Sai Zhalunwang bowed even further with his hands clasped together.
"Mr. Kondo."
"Hello, General, please sit down. Please forgive me for not being able to greet you personally at the door." Kondo Kohei, the owner of this men's venereal disease clinic, invited Sai Zhalunwang to sit on the sofa, personally poured him a cup of tea, and then sat down opposite him.
Sai Zhalunwang took off his felt hat and looked around the dean's office, examining the various photos and certificates hanging on the walls. "Mr. Kondo, you have a medical background?"
Kondo Kohei nodded. "Just like your family has served in the military for generations, my family has been doctors for generations."
"But why open such an embarrassing hospital?" Sai Zhalunwang looked at Kondo Kohei: "A male venereal disease clinic. I understand Chinese, and the name sounds very awkward."
Kondo Kohei gestured to Sai Zhalunwang to offer him tea. After Sai Zhalunwang drank the tea in one gulp, Kondo Kohei began to brew tea again, saying:
"As you can see, General, this hospital is very old. It was established three years before the Xinhai Revolution in China. At that time, there were quite a few Japan residents in Hong Kong. My father, Kondo Shogo, settled in Hong Kong and felt sorry for the inconvenience of medical treatment for Japan. So he raised funds from all over the world and established this hospital to serve only Japan residents. The doctors, nurses, and staff were all Japan. Look, that photo is a group photo taken when the hospital was first established."
As he spoke, Kondo Kohei pointed to a black and white photograph on the wall. Sé Zhalunwang looked over with a smile. In the photograph, a spirited middle-aged man stood in the center of a group photo, bearing a resemblance to Kondo Kohei in front of him.
