<p class="ql-block"><b style="font-size:22px;"> 第十五章 </b></p><p class="ql-block"><b style="font-size:22px;"> Chapter 15</b></p><p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block"><b style="font-size:20px;"><u> 面对两位的盛情相邀，曾毅无法拒绝，只好笑道：“那我就听两位老兄的！”</u></b></p><p class="ql-block"></p><p class="ql-block"><b style="font-size:20px;"> Faced with the two men's gracious invitation, Zeng Yi couldn't refuse and smiled, "Then I'll listen to you two!"</b></p><p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block"><b style="font-size:20px;"><u> “这就对了么！”唐浩然很高兴，拍了拍曾毅肩膀，和他一起钻进了杜若的车。</u></b></p><p class="ql-block"></p><p class="ql-block"><b style="font-size:20px;"> "That's right!" Tang Haoran was delighted. He patted Zeng Yi on the shoulder and got into Du Ruo's car with him.</b></p><p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block"><b style="font-size:20px;"><u> 去酒店吃饭，再开公车就不合适了，杜若的警车此时已经换成了一辆很普通的丰田轿车，车牌也很普通，任谁看了，都会不想到里面坐着的是公安局局长。</u></b></p><p class="ql-block"></p><p class="ql-block"><b style="font-size:20px;"> It wouldn't be appropriate to take the official car to the hotel for dinner. Du Ruo's police car had been replaced with a very ordinary Toyota sedan with an ordinary license plate. Anyone who saw it would not guess that the Public Security Bureau Director was sitting inside.</b></p> <p class="ql-block"><b style="font-size:20px;"><u> 维纳斯酒店是一家顶级的会员制俱乐部，集饮食、桑拿、健身、酒吧、私人会所、演艺于一体，这里的会员非富即贵，全都是荣城有头有脸的人物，大富豪、大学者、大艺术家、以及各行各业的成功人士。想要成为这里的会员，着实不便宜，最基本的入会费，也得38万，可荣城的社会名流，仍然是趋之如鹜。</u></b></p><p class="ql-block"></p><p class="ql-block"><b style="font-size:20px;"> The Venus Hotel is a top-tier membership club, offering dining, saunas, fitness centers, a bar, a private club, and performances. Its members are either wealthy or prominent, all of them prominent figures in Rongcheng: wealthy individuals, scholars, artists, and successful individuals from all walks of life. Becoming a member is not cheap; the basic initiation fee is 380,000 yuan, yet Rongcheng's celebrities still flock to it.</b></p><p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block"><b style="font-size:20px;"><u> 杜若选择这里，也是费了不少的心思，去普通的地方，显示不出自己的诚意，更高级的场所，在荣城也找不出几家了。</u></b></p><p class="ql-block"></p><p class="ql-block"><b style="font-size:20px;"> Du Ruo had put considerable thought into choosing this place. Ordinary places wouldn't have demonstrated his sincerity, and there weren't many more upscale venues in Rongcheng.</b></p> <p class="ql-block"><b style="font-size:20px;"><u> 车子还没到酒店楼下，门童就跑了过来，一边开车门，一边用对讲机通知里面。门口站了两排迎宾小姐，各个姿色不俗，身形高挑，看到三人进来，齐齐鞠躬欢迎。</u></b></p><p class="ql-block"></p><p class="ql-block"><b style="font-size:20px;"> Before the car even reached the hotel, the doorman ran over, opening the door while using the intercom to notify the inside. Two rows of receptionists, each of them strikingly attractive and tall, stood at the entrance. Upon seeing the three people enter, they all bowed in welcome.</b></p><p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block"><b style="font-size:20px;"><u> 在迎宾小姐的陪伴下，曾毅跟着唐浩然和杜若步入维纳斯酒店的大厅，抬眼望去，大厅宽敞华丽、大气典雅，汉白玉铺就的地板，亮得可以映出人的影子，大得惊人的水晶吊灯，折射着璀璨光芒，令整个大厅披上了一层奢华气息。</u></b></p><p class="ql-block"></p><p class="ql-block"><b style="font-size:20px;"> Accompanied by the receptionists, Zeng Yi followed Tang Haoran and Du Ruo into the lobby of the Venus Hotel. Looking up, he saw the spacious, opulent, and elegant hall. The white marble floor was so bright it could reflect a person's shadow, and the astonishingly large crystal chandelier, reflecting a dazzling light, shrouded the entire hall in an aura of luxury.</b></p> <p class="ql-block"><b style="font-size:20px;"><u> 杜若偷偷打量了一下曾毅，发现曾毅的脸上始终是淡淡的微笑，神态自然大方，就好像这种地方他曾经来过很多次一样。杜若心中暗暗高兴，今天这顿饭是请对了，这绝对是世家子的派头，一般人哪能伪装得出来，看来唐浩然没给自己交底，这个曾毅肯定不是保健医生那么简单。</u></b></p><p class="ql-block"></p><p class="ql-block"><b style="font-size:20px;"> Du Ruo secretly observed Zeng Yi and noticed that he wore a faint smile, his demeanor natural and generous, as if he had been to this place many times before. Du Ruo secretly rejoiced that she had chosen the right person for dinner today. This person was definitely the son of an aristocratic family, and no one could fake it. It seemed that Tang Haoran hadn't given her the full disclosure; this Zeng Yi was definitely more than just a health doctor.</b></p><p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block"><b style="font-size:20px;"><u> 杜若订的包间，叫做聚义厅。这名字很有意味，唐浩然看到之后，哈哈一笑，然后率先走了进去。</u></b></p><p class="ql-block"></p><p class="ql-block"><b style="font-size:20px;"> The private room Du Ruo had booked was called the Juyi Hall. The name was very meaningful. Tang Haoran laughed at the sight and then walked in first.</b></p> <p class="ql-block"><b style="font-size:20px;"><u> 酒菜上齐，唐浩然举起酒杯，准备开始。谁知包厢的门此时被“砰砰”敲了两下，一个肥头大耳、满面红光的胖子走了进来，人未到，笑声先至：“对不住，对不住，不知道杜局长大驾光临，有失远迎，还望恕罪。”</u></b></p><p class="ql-block"></p><p class="ql-block"><b style="font-size:20px;"> The food and drinks arrived, and Tang Haoran raised his glass, ready to begin. Unexpectedly, there were two knocks on the private room door, and a portly, ruddy-faced man with a big head and big ears entered. He laughed before he even arrived. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I didn't know Director Du was coming. I didn't greet him. Please forgive me."</b></p><p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block"><b style="font-size:20px;"><u> 这番话估计是早在外面就想好了，话没说完，他看到了坐在首席的唐浩然，顿时吃了一惊，上前道：“哎呀，今天我卫胖子的罪过真是大了去，唐主任前来检查工作，我竟然一点都不知道，实在是该罚，我先自罚三杯请罪，然后再为领导敬酒。”完了，赶紧让身后跟进来的服务员把酒开了。</u></b></p><p class="ql-block"></p><p class="ql-block"><b style="font-size:20px;"> He had probably thought of these words long before he finished speaking. Before he could finish, he saw Tang Haoran sitting at the head of the table. He was startled and stepped forward, saying, "Oh, Fatty Wei, I've committed a terrible offense today. Director Tang was here to inspect our work, and I had no idea. I deserve to be punished. I'll drink three glasses of wine to apologize, and then I'll toast to the leader." He then quickly asked the waiter who followed him to open the wine.</b></p> <p class="ql-block"><b style="font-size:20px;"><u> 52度的五粮液，用二两的杯子，满满倒了三杯，这个卫胖子竟然连个停顿都没有，一口气喝完，然后又倒上一杯，道：“实在是该打，今天我太失礼了，领导们大人有大量，千万勿怪啊。”</u></b></p><p class="ql-block"></p><p class="ql-block"><b style="font-size:20px;"> He poured three full cups of 52-proof Wuliangye liquor into a 2-liang cup. Fatty Wei didn't even pause, downing the entire bottle in one gulp. Then, he poured another, saying, "I truly deserve a beating. I was rude today. Leaders, please be magnanimous and forgive me."</b></p><p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block"><b style="font-size:20px;"><u> 这个卫胖子叫卫子刚，是维纳斯酒店的经理，在荣城也算是一号灵通人物，他接到下面人报告，说杜大局长来了，就赶过来打招呼，却没料到唐浩然也在场，进门一开口，就把人得罪了，试想，有哪位领导喜欢被人当作空气啊！</u></b></p><p class="ql-block"></p><p class="ql-block"><b style="font-size:20px;"> This Fatty Wei, Wei Zigang, was the manager of the Venus Hotel and a well-informed figure in Rongcheng. Upon receiving a tip from his subordinates about Director Du's arrival, he rushed over to greet him. He hadn't anticipated Tang Haoran's presence, and the moment he opened his mouth, he offended him. Just imagine, what leader enjoys being ignored?</b></p> <p class="ql-block"><b style="font-size:20px;"><u> “你这个卫胖子，自己想喝酒，还找这么多理由，迟早喝你个胃下垂！”唐浩然显然认识这个卫胖子，笑着开玩笑。</u></b></p><p class="ql-block"></p><p class="ql-block"><b style="font-size:20px;"> "You, Fatty Wei, you want to drink, and you're making up so many excuses. Sooner or later, you'll end up with gastroptosis!" Tang Haoran, obviously recognizing Fatty Wei, joked with a smile.</b></p><p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block"><b style="font-size:20px;"><u> 听唐浩然这么说，卫胖子才松了口气，嬉皮笑脸地端着酒杯子上前，此时他注意到了曾毅，“这位是……”</u></b></p><p class="ql-block"></p><p class="ql-block"><b style="font-size:20px;"> Fatty Wei breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Tang Haoran's words. With a playful smile, he approached, holding his glass. He then noticed Zeng Yi and asked, "Who is this..."</b></p><p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block"><b style="font-size:20px;"><u> “这位是曾毅，你喊曾少就行了。”唐浩然道。</u></b></p><p class="ql-block"></p><p class="ql-block"><b style="font-size:20px;"> "This is Zeng Yi. Just call him Young Master Zeng," Tang Haoran said.</b></p>
