C4 (2/2)

A woman was singing in a soothing voice, ”Good flowers don't bloom often, good times don't last. It was the same everywhere in the world. Youth how beautiful, Shaoguang how beautiful, exhort the king to cherish, exhort the king more reality. Don't look at the warm spring wind today. It'll be winter soon. When the end of the world came, there was nothing Ye Xiao could do about it. ”Why don't you take advantage of this beautiful night and enjoy yourself, and try to be faster.” No one knew if the singing and the dancing, as well as the various surrounding scenes, were coordinated together. No one could say for sure, and no one paid any attention to them either.

In the center of the hall, there were rows of tables and chairs. There were a few hoodlums and slanders sitting there leisurely smoking their cigarettes. Behind them, a group of people whispered, ”It is all thanks to us, President Yuan. If it weren't for the fact that we surrounded the meeting with our swords and clubs and threatened the councilors, would the councilors have chosen him as their official president? He had chosen it again and again until it was dark. That's why the president invited us to the party today. ”That's good, we also need a chance to bring glory to our ancestors.”

All of them started to show off their achievements in surrounding the venue. Soon, they began to talk about it with great confidence.

Directly to the north was an exquisite table, and the chairs were arranged in a unique style. The surroundings were filled with flowers and flowers, and it looked extremely dignified. Sitting there facing the south, facing the north, was Yuan Shikai's chairman position. Later, there were a few tables and chairs to the left and right of him. These were the positions of senior government officials such as Li Yuanhong, Duan Qirui and Feng Guozhang.

A group of guards were busy setting the table. Bottles of German brandy were being served on the tables. Very quickly, the sumptuous dishes began to pile up on the tables. The entire hall was filled with smoke and noise.

Suddenly, someone rapped on the cloud deck. The frightened women screamed. ”Ah, too harsh!”

”Why did it start so soon? I haven't played enough. ”

After the shout, the Secretary of the Government walked to the front of the platform with a smile on his face. He clapped his hands and said loudly, ”Everyone, please be quiet!”

When he saw that the foreigners, if they did not hear him, were still laughing and joking with the women, he raised his voice again and called out: ”Honorable friends of the nations! Ladies and gentlemen! And the guests! The banquet was about to begin. Please take your places. President Yuan is also about to arrive at the venue to meet everyone! ”

After his secretary had said this, the foreigners stopped laughing and joking. The hall was in an uproar. Some of the foreigners pulled women into their seats.

There were also a few foreigners fighting over a woman. It made the woman scream, ”Ouch, it hurts!” ”Sir, be more gentle, it hurts me everywhere.” Then there was another wheeze. The foreigners teased him again. ” ”OK, come to me, don't go with him.”

The Japanese walked up to the lady and pulled her down, ”Please follow me miss, don't go with the Westerners.”

The Englishman pushed the Japanese away again and snatched the woman away. ”Come with me,” he said.

There were still fights over this. There were some Chinese people who didn't understand what was written in the English language on the table and were sitting around randomly. ”The foreigners again drove them away in stiff Chinese.” Go away, go away! This is not a place for you to sit. ” He made everyone humble themselves and then randomly look for a seat.

Secretary Lang saw this and frowned. Only after a long while did the hall gradually quieten down.

As soon as Secretary Lang turned around, he heard a shout from the doorway, ”President Yuan has arrived.” At the call of the guard, Yuan Shikai came walking steadily forward, dressed in a brocade gown, a yellow sundress, and a top hat. He carried a stick in his hand. His body was swollen and chunky, and he walked with a heavy gait. The hall immediately burst into applause.

Accompanying Yuan Shikai was a beautiful and graceful young lady dressed in a long dress. She was the goddaughter of Yuan Shikai, Zheng Yanyue.

Behind him were Duan Qili, Feng Guozhang, Li Yuanhong, Xu Shichang, Wang Jingwei, Duan Chigui and other top government officials.

It was unknown who shouted amidst the applause, ”Long live President Yuan Yuan!” Yuan Shikai was beaming with happiness as he greeted everyone with a smile.

Yuan Shikai walked up to the podium, took off his hat and handed it to the guards. When the entourage sat down, he glanced around, and then at the other foreigners. I have the honour of seeing you here, gentlemen of the Consul! Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for coming! I am grateful for the presence of my business and industry friends, as well as friends from all walks of life. ”

After he finished speaking, he felt his legs go weak and he sat down. The guard hastily brought him a cup of tea and placed it on the table. Yuan Shikai took a break and said, ”Guests and friends, I thank you for coming! I, Yuan Zhou, am very happy to have the chance to meet up with you all. ”

There was another round of applause. Someone even shouted, ”President Yuan, your lifespan is limitless!”
