Two days later, Huang Fei-hung finally found the new admiral, Sir Zheng, and arranged a meeting with the foreigners from England and America at the Jiangxi Restaurant. He wanted to ask the foreigners for compensation for Ninth Uncle's injuries.
Because both Ye Xuan and Achasu had returned from overseas, the two of them could speak Western languages. On the other hand, Huang Fei-hung didn't know how to speak Western languages. Therefore, for this meeting, Huang Fei-hung brought the two of them with him so that they could communicate with the foreigners about compensation.
The meeting time was 10 am, but when Huang Fei-hung's group arrived at the Jiangxi Restaurant, it was only 9 am. Since they had arrived early, they naturally couldn't wait outside. Huang Fei-hung brought the two of them into the restaurant.
"Ding! System Quest: Defeat American businessman Mr. Jishan's bodyguard, Tiger. The system will determine the reward based on Tiger's injuries. Light injuries will be rewarded with 1000 Cultivation Points, heavy injuries will be rewarded with 2000 Cultivation Points. Upon failure, 1000 Cultivation Points will be deducted. "
Just as Ye Xuan was about to step into the restaurant, a system notification suddenly appeared in his mind. Hearing this quest, Ye Xuan's expression darkened. It seemed that today's negotiation wouldn't go smoothly.
"Sir, I'm sorry, what do you need?" As soon as the three of them entered the hall, a foreigner wearing a white suit walked over with his hands behind his back. He looked at Huang Fei-hung's group with disdain and spoke in English.
In the eyes of these foreigners, the Chinese were a lowly race. Western restaurants were a place for the nobles to eat. These poor Chinese couldn't afford to eat western food. There were even some western restaurants that had a sign that said, "Chinese and dogs are not allowed."
Seeing the foreigner's gaze, Ye Xuan became angry. A cold light flashed in his eyes.
Huang Fei-hung's eyebrows furrowed, but he didn't explode. Instead, he turned to Ya Casu and said, "Ah Su, explain to the manager."
"Yes!" Gritting his teeth, he smiled confidently, took two steps forward, and said to the waiter in English, "Excuse me, I'm sorry to bother you!" We have an appointment with China Pacific Corporation's Mr. Jishan and the British Navy's General Wigans. I guess they have already booked a table for us so that we can have a leisurely discussion. " After a pause, he smiled and turned to Huang Fei-hung and said, "This is our master, Huang Fei-hung. Please take us to our table. Thank you!"
After a few months of interaction, Huang Fei-hung and Ye Xuan knew that Ya Casu was tongued when he spoke Mandarin, but was very fluent when he spoke English. Therefore, Xuan, Yue Hung, Huang Fei-hung, Huang Fei-hung, Huang Fei-hung, Huang Fei-hung, "Huang Fei-hung, Huang Fei-hung, Huang Fei-hung," Chen, said, "This is Huang Huang Fei-Fei. ", Mandarin," Huang Fei-sat, ", said.
"Gentlemen, this way, please!" Hearing that these three people had an appointment with Britain's General Wigans and America's Mr. Jishan, Huang Fei-hung immediately put away his contempt. He extended his hand and invited them to the table.
"Please take a seat!" When the three of them sat down, the Arabian waiter came over and handed each of them a menu. He said to Huang Fei-hung, "Sir, please, here is your menu!"
Huang Fei-hung opened the menu and saw that it was all written in English. He was startled for a moment, then closed the menu and said to Ye Xuan and Ya Casu, "Ah Hsuan, Ah Su, you two decide. Just order a few desserts!"
In the end, the three of them ordered two cups of coffee, a cup of tea, and a few desserts. They ate as they waited.
The three of them waited for another hour. At this time, the new admiral, America's businessman Jishan, Britain's General Wigans, and a few soldiers walked in, talking and laughing. Ye Xuan was paying attention to a foreigner with long hair and a red suit behind the American businessman Jishan.
"Admiral!" Seeing these people, Huang Fei-hung quickly got up and walked to the middle-aged man wearing the Qing Dynasty's official uniform. He cupped his fist and greeted.
"En, Huang Fei-hung, you arrived early." The admiral turned a blind eye to Huang Fei-hung's greeting. He just casually nodded and warmly invited the two foreigners to sit.
A trace of anger flashed across Huang Fei-hung's face, but he quickly concealed it. Now that the foreigners were powerful, even the government was somewhat afraid of them. Although he had the heart to do things for the people, he was still a martial artist, a commoner.
Everyone sat down, but whether it was the admiral or the two foreigners, none of them looked at Huang Fei-hung. The admiral was even more envious of the two foreigners, laughing and chatting unceasingly.
Standing behind Huang Feihong, Ye Xuan listened to the commander asking about British folklore and American scenery. It was as if he had come here just to chat with the two foreigners and had completely forgotten about what Huang Feihong had told him. A sense of sullenness had been accumulating in his heart. In contrast, Huang Fei-hung acted as if nothing had happened. It was as if the three people sitting in front of him were air. He sat there and slowly drank his tea.
Half an hour after another half an hour, the Admiral chatted with the two foreigners for a long time. Finally, as if chatting idly, he mentioned that a few days ago, a person had mistakenly entered the British merchant ship.
"Trespassing on the British Empire's ship should have been shot dead. However, for the sake of the relationship between our two countries, the British Empire has decided not to pursue this matter any further. This is the stance of the British royal family. General Wigans from the United Kingdom glanced at Huang Fei-hung, who was standing to the side, and said to the Admiral in an indifferent tone.
"General Wigans, your government is very generous." The Admiral smiled and nodded in praise. Then he said to Huang Fei-hung, "Huang Fei-hung, General Wigans from the United Kingdom and Mr. Jishan from the American merchant ship have magnanimously decided not to pursue the matter of the vegetable seller trespassing on the ship. You should also stop insisting on helping the vegetable seller ask for compensation. Let's just forget about this matter. What do you think?"
"Admiral, Ninth Uncle only boarded the ship to sell vegetables. He didn't forcefully trespass. He just didn't distinguish the British and American flags. Sir, if the United Kingdom doesn't compensate, it would be unfair to Ninth Uncle. The people of Foshan already know about this. Why are you making the people angry? "Huang Feihong's eyebrows furrowed when he heard the inspector's words. He clenched his fists tightly and asked the inspector.
"Anger?" Seeing that Huang Fei-hung actually dared to question him, a trace of anger flashed across the Admiral's face. He sneered, "Huang Fei-hung, which yamen sent you here? You are only a commoner. What right do you have to discuss policy with the government? Right now, the capital is engaged in the Westernization Movement. Our relationship with the foreigners is harmonious. Don't disregard the righteousness of the Court because of a trivial matter. Huang Fei-hung, endure for a moment and calm the waves. Take a step back and the sky will be clear. "
Ye Xuan, who was standing behind Huang Fei-hung, slowly clenched his hands behind his back when he heard the Admiral's words. A human life was actually treated as a trivial matter. This dog of a government official …
Huang Fei-hung was clearly angered by the Admiral's words. His breathing suddenly became heavy. Ya Casu, who was beside him, hurriedly opened his fan to help him calm down.
After taking a deep breath and calming the anger in his chest, Huang Fei-hung picked up a piece of bread in front of him and said to the Admiral, "Sir, this bread is made from our flour."
"Why? Do you also appreciate western cuisine?" The Admiral was puzzled by Huang Fei-hung's sudden mention of a piece of bread.
"The foreigners drew a concession in our territory and even set up a restricted area. If our countrymen are still suspicious of each other while tolerating the foreigners, sooner or later, we won't even have the flour to make steamed buns." Huang Fei-hung looked at the Admiral with an angry expression.
Seeing that Huang Fei-hung dared to lecture him in front of two foreigners, even though the foreigners couldn't understand Chinese, the Admiral felt that his dignity was being challenged. His expression darkened. "Huang Fei-hung, I know you have a close relationship with the Black Flag Army's Liu Yongfu. He thinks that he's too far away from the Southern Court, so he's always going against the Court. Now, the Court has sent me to the South to watch over you and find someone to punish as a warning to others."
As soon as he finished speaking, he slammed his palm on the table and looked at Huang Fei-hung viciously. His warning was clear. If Huang Fei-hung didn't know what was good for him and insisted on seeking compensation from the British, the Admiral would deal with him according to the law.
"Kekeke!!!" Huang Feihong's eyes were wide open. He slowly clenched his fists, making cracking sounds. It was clear that he was extremely angry inside. It was as if in the next moment, he was going to throw a punch at the inspector's head.
Bang! Bang!! Bang!!!
