    The Boniva Hotel is one of the few skyscrapers in Chinatown. The hotel is located at the eastern end of Chinatown, so this glass curtain building does not destroy the overall antique structure of Chinatown. However, because it has a history of nearly a hundred years,  It was the earliest skyscraper built by Western colonists on the east coast of Africa. Nowadays, the cost of repairing it every year is not a small amount. The city council has discussed related issues many times and is preparing to demolish it.  In the presidential suite on the top floor of the Boniva Restaurant, Zhang Sheng met Zhou Heng. In addition, there was Zhou Nan who was on bail and Zhou Nan's girlfriend, a Chinese girl who was also studying in Spain, named Liu Yaqiong, whose father was  A high-ranking official in the country, she had been coming to Tanik since the day Zhou Nan's accident occurred, and had been running around, but with little success.  In addition to these three people, there were three or four people present, including a lawyer named Wang from the mainland, who naturally provided them with legal advice; a counselor from the Chinese Embassy in Tambur named Chen, who was a good friend of Zhou Heng;  Mr. Maihan Daomai, Chairman of the Local Chinese Chamber of Commerce.  After everyone exchanged greetings, they entered the restaurant and took their seats. Soon the service staff served exquisite dishes one after another.  In the beginning, everyone naturally chatted a few words and toasted together. For the first three glasses of wine, everyone almost toasted Zhang Sheng together, saying "I wish Mr. Duke great success," "The Duke and Princess are in good health," etc. After three rounds, everyone  , they began to toast and talk to each other, and the atmosphere gradually became warm.  Zhou Heng was told by Mitchell's lawyer not to say too much about the case. Although it seemed that his cousin was released on bail because of Zhang Sheng's efforts, who knows what he was planning. If he was exposed to "bribery" again,  People's scandals are adding insult to injury.  Lawyer Wang is not very talkative. Although he is a well-known lawyer in China and is especially good at handling overseas disputes for the second generation, he obviously has no say at this table.  Counselor Chen was eager to establish a relationship with Zhang Sheng. After all, if he made friends with the future husband-in-law of the Queen, Minister of Defense, it would bring immeasurable benefits to his work in the embassy. Ambassador Du had kept secrets internally several times.  At the meeting, it was proposed to have more contact with the Chinese-American Minister of Defense, but he suffered from the lack of channels, and there are many examples. Chinese-Americans have gained a certain status in foreign political circles, and almost without exception they have to distance themselves from China, so I want to start from  It is actually very difficult to contact the Duke through diplomatic channels, but this is a God-given opportunity.  Mai Daohan's performance is even more obvious. Although he was invited by Counselor Chen to bring closer relations between Chinese people, because from a certain perspective, Mai Daohan, like the Duke, is a Chinese person struggling abroad.  , not to mention that Mai Daohan is also one of the shareholders of Bonihua Hotel.  But Mai Daohan obviously doesn't think so. He is a person of status, so naturally he can't talk about flattery, but every word must be said according to Zhang Sheng's wishes. He, the chairman of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce in Tambur  , the famous Mr. Mai in Chinatown is really insignificant in front of Zhang Sheng, especially since the Chinese officialdom is deeply rooted in the bone marrow. In this country that appears to be a monarchy system, Mr. Mai feels that the royal family is superior.  In fact, in Tanik, although nobles have clear provisions in the law to enjoy privileges, most of them are privileges with little substantive meaning that have not yet been abolished. Almost all privileges in public life have been abolished. For example, Queen Cypnus last year  This abolished one of the most important privileges of the nobles, which was the priority of queuing in public places. This law used to best reflect the superiority of the nobles.  What's more, the power of the royal family, which followed the Western system more than a thousand years ago, has always been greatly restricted. The monarch's power to rule comes from the law, and the monarch's will does not have the effect of law. This makes it very different from the Chinese emperor.  different.  In modern times, Tanik is a monarchy. Under the framework of the national constitution, the Freedom Charter, citizenship rights are not inferior to those in some democratic countries. In countries such as Saudi Arabia, the king serves as prime minister and the crown prince serves as deputy prime minister.  , what's more, the deputy crown prince serves as the second prime minister, etc. The real family rule is somewhat completely different.  Although Mr. Mai has been in Tanik for more than 20 years, it is obvious that he has not adapted to the essence of civil society life. Due to his identity and today's occasion, he did not show it clearly, but his intention to curry favor with Zhang Sheng also made people feel uncomfortable.  People can feel it fully.  Zhou Nan was drinking and eating, looking very depressed. However, his attitude towards Zhang Sheng was not as bad as Zhang Sheng imagined. Mr. Mai was toasting Zhang Sheng and talking about the recent renovation of his Sihai Restaurant. He hoped that  Before the opening, when His Excellency the Duke was able to taste the dishes, Zhou Nan raised his head and said, "Brother Zhang, how many old Burmese have you lost?" Zhang Sheng was slightly startled. Firstly, he didn't expect him to call himself this; secondly, he didn't expect him to call him that.  Asked this kind of question, he shook his head and waved his hands: "This is nothing to boast about, let's not talk about it." Zhou Nan said unconvinced: "No, you are a real hero. I offended you because of my ignorance. I want to express my gratitude to you."  Apologize!¡±  Zhou Heng glanced at Zhou Nan and sneered in his heart. His cousin was actually very naive. After knowing some things about Zhang Sheng and checking a lot of information, he really regarded Zhang Sheng as a modern hero. It was simply inexplicable.  Zhang Sheng smiled and raised his glass: "It's just a misunderstanding. It's all in the wine." Seeing Zhang Sheng and Zhou Nan finish the drink again, Mr. Mai smiled and applauded, and said: "The Duke is really powerful, just like Zhou Nan  As the younger brother said, I also know some of the past events of the Duke. He is a hero in this world, and the Duke is well-deserved. "Zhou Nan is not very good at drinking. After one glass of wine, his face became a little red. He filled another glass for himself, looking excited to Zhang Sheng.  Said: "Brother Zhang, the thing about you being shot has nothing to do with me, do you believe it or not?" Zhang Sheng nodded: "Of course I believe it, how could you set up a gunman to ambush me in advance? But the attack case, because it is  Brother, you go first. Even if I don't pursue the case, I still need to prosecute you according to Tanik Law. But judging from the consequences, I think you should be given a light sentence. You are a foreign national. I think in the end the judge will order you to be deported.  You don't have to worry about leaving the country, at most, and adding dozens of hours of social service order." Zhou Nan clinked glasses with Zhang Sheng again, drank the wine in one gulp, and said, "It doesn't matter if I'm sentenced to squatting for a few months. I'm not a thing.  , I¡¯m obsessed with provoking a hero like Brother Zhang, don¡¯t you deserve it? Brother Zhang, just don¡¯t mind, I don¡¯t dare to say that we don¡¯t know each other without fighting, but if Brother Zhang thinks that he knows me, I feel very lucky.  "Zhang Sheng smiled, drank the wine, and said, "You are too polite." I felt that Zhou Nan was not deliberately showing weakness, but was quite sincere. He did not expect that his own experience.  The reason why it touched him so much was because his circle was too narrow.
