Chapter 959 You are a gentleman
HB Tavern is a century-old establishment located in the heart of Munich. It was once a gathering place for dignitaries and ordinary people alike, and has now become a popular destination for tourists from all over the world.
The pub is a four-story white building in the late Renaissance style. Inside, it features long wooden tables and chairs, a souvenir shop, a stage for performances, and traditional Bavarian decorations. Due to its size and history, it is one of Munich's most iconic beer halls.
The tavern's interior is entirely made of wood, ancient and charming. The tables and stools are worn smooth, and the ceiling and walls are carved with exquisite portraits, all telling the story of its long history.
At HB Beer Hall, visitors can enjoy authentic German beer and traditional Bavarian cuisine, such as roasted pork knuckle and wheat beer, and experience a unique culinary culture.
The pub also has a special cabinet for storing regular customers' beer glasses, reflecting its unique pub culture.
Guided by the waiter, the group chose their seats in the courtyard.
"Mayor Tian, this German pub doesn't seem much different from our restaurants."
As soon as they sat down, a deputy mayor spoke up with dissatisfaction.
The deputy mayor's name is Jiang Wende, and he is an official from Yinshan.
Yinshan is located next to Wenshan and is one of the poorest cities among the six northern cities. In order to gain more say in the inspection team, a deputy mayor was arranged to come.
However, this deputy mayor was not selected as the deputy head of the delegation; he was only a member and didn't have much say.
Tian Fengyi frowned, glanced at the other person, and lectured, "Wende, you're being a bit superficial, or rather, you're having a bit of a peasant mentality."
When it comes to eating, the whole world is pretty much the same: a room with a few tables, and some staple food and side dishes on the tables.
If we break it down further, it boils down to seven words: firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, and tea.
But as high-ranking officials in China, with an average of doctoral degrees, we should at least have some substance and knowledge.
We shouldn't just eat to fill our stomachs; we should also consume some culture and nourish our spirits.
Jiang Wende secretly regretted his loose tongue and offended Professor Tian. He quickly tried to smooth things over with a smile: "Mayor Tian, what you said is a bit too profound. I am not knowledgeable enough to know how this 'food culture' is specifically manifested. Does it mean that a story is told before each dish?"
Tian Fengyi said, "Pretty much. For example, Dongpo pork and Taibai duck, which are familiar to us, are based on historical stories."
Otherwise, even if it's just a piece of fatty meat and a duck, no matter how good it tastes, why would it be remembered by the world?
Therefore, simply being full is only the first level. A true connoisseur understands how to perceive the hidden history, culture, and profound meaning within food.
Jiang Wende laughed and said, "Then I understand. But Germany has only been around for a few years. How much cultural heritage can it possibly have accumulated through its history?"
Tian Fengyi said, "You haven't done enough research. If this place doesn't have 'cultural heritage,' then there's nowhere in all of Germany that has 'cultural heritage.'"
Jiang Wende asked knowingly, "Oh? Then tell us, what's the background behind this?"
Tian Fengyi pointed to the crowded tavern, "Do you know why so many people come here?"
Jiang Wende shook his head.
"Seventy-six years ago, a figure who stirred up global events appeared in this tavern."
"who is it?"
"Hitler."
……
While Tian Fengyi was introducing the history of the tavern, he was completely unaware that several burly German men on the second floor were staring intently at him.
Because the tavern that Taefuji chose was the territory of the "Hell's Angels".
Raymond Thorne was overjoyed to learn that his target was openly present in the tavern.
They've been working on how to get Mary infiltrated Heathton for the past two days.
There's no way around it, you get what you pay for. Mary's air of sophistication was too strong; in a place like Heathton, frequented by celebrities, she was practically a chicken among cranes.
Before I could even go inside, the doorman stopped me and kicked me out.
They were planning to bribe the people inside, just like last time, to smuggle Mary in, but instead, she walked right into their trap.
One of the underlings suggested that since they were already there, they might as well just tie them up and take them upstairs, take a few photos, and complete the mission.
Redmond yelled, "Idiot, do you want to cause a diplomatic incident? Those people will definitely put us in jail!"
"Boss, what should we do?"
"How to do it is not our concern. Now, get Mary here as soon as possible. Seducing men is her specialty."
……
In the courtyard, Tian Fengyi was still talking animatedly.
"It was here that he joined the party, rose step by step to the top, and made the whole European continent tremble at his feet."
This country is still influenced by his ideas to this day, and we can see this from the number of visitors here.
"Mayor Tian, you know so much. No wonder you're a professor at Hanjiang University." As soon as Tian Fengyi finished speaking, someone started flattering him.
"Yes, yes, who would have thought that such an inconspicuous tavern would have produced such a person? If Mayor Tian hadn't told us about it, we would have missed it. I have to take a picture with this tavern."
Tian Fengyi was very pleased with such flattery and continued to share German history, from the devil's footprints in the Church of Our Lady to the gallery of beauties in Nymphenburg Palace.
It wasn't until a waiter brought the menu that Tian Fengyi's speech-like sharing was interrupted.
Tian Fengyi asked everyone to order food, saying, "Let me make this clear first: we've agreed beforehand that everyone should only order a little. Today, we're only allowed to drink a little more than a half liters, and absolutely no one should get drunk so it affects our work."
While having fun and making merry are fine, we must always remember the bottom line of safety.
Tian Fengyi would never joke about his career.
Dark beer, braised pork knuckle, black and white sausage, and sauerkraut were served one by one. With the alcohol taking effect, people gathered in small groups and chatted about everything under the sun.
While Tian Fengyi was talking absentmindedly with several high-ranking officials, his eyes involuntarily drifted into the tavern, lingering on the young and sexy women.
He was deeply attracted by the irresistible charm of German women, who were completely different from Chinese women and gave him a completely new feeling.
Chinese women are gentle and traditional. Although their clothing has changed with the advancement of reform and opening up, they are still relatively conservative in general, and most of them wear skirts that are only knee-length.
German women, on the other hand, are truly passionate and unrestrained. Since he entered the room, he has noticed no fewer than five women, all dressed boldly and exuding sex appeal.
What surprised him even more was that he saw many couples kissing passionately in public, a level of openness that was truly astonishing.
This place was like paradise to him.
A division-level cadre from the provincial Department of Justice noticed Tian Fengyi's expression and took the opportunity to start a conversation.
"Mayor Tian, you know so much about Germany, could you tell me about Germany's red-light districts? I've heard that Germany's red-light districts are different from ours; they are legal there."
Tian Fengyi waved his hand, "No, no, no, they are also breaking the law. Although Germany's red-light districts are more lenient in some aspects, they are still in a legal gray area overall."
They want to manage it, but they can't, and it's not easy to manage it.
In this respect, they are no different from us. On the one hand, they have to deal with the social problems that arise from this, and on the other hand, they also have to consider the relevant economic factors.
We often say that the sex industry is a driver of the economy, and the same is true in Germany.
If you want to attract capital and talent, a decadent and extravagant society is the easiest way to do so.
However, although Germany has not formally legislated to fully legalize prostitution nationwide, some states and cities have adopted relatively lenient management policies on sex work, creating a gray area of 'tacit acceptance'.
This phenomenon contrasts with policy differences in other European countries such as the Netherlands and Switzerland, and has therefore sparked intense social debate in Germany.
Supporters believe this could reduce sex-related crime rates and provide some social security for sex workers.
Opponents, however, insist that this will lead to more social and moral problems and negatively impact the city's image.
It is worth noting that this year, the German government has begun to pilot limited regulation of red-light districts in some cities, including measures such as establishing fixed business locations, requiring practitioners to register, and conducting regular health checks.
"So, does that mean Germany will be able to legalize it soon?"
"You could say that," Tian Fengyi nodded.
"Hey, we're early!" The section chief from the Department of Justice slapped his thigh.
One of them joked, "Haha, Director Wei, what, you want to give it a try?"
"Is Director Wei trying to promote the rule of law? He's promoting progress. How do you promote progress? Of course, you have to do it this way." A fat, big-eared cadre straightened his back.
Everyone laughed.
Director Wei retorted sarcastically, "What, Director Lei, you don't want to? Everyone here is a man, who dares to say they don't want to?"
The group of men all wore a knowing smile.
After all, anyone who's reached this level is no pushover.
Tian Fengyi had a sudden thought, but said very seriously, "Let's not think about it. We are all Party members and cadres, and we should set a good example. It's not worth it to stumble on this. Let's just have a drink."
Others scoffed. Who was Tian Fengyi? He was a leading cadre in one of the twelve cities along the Han River, and the most talked-about person.
This professor-mayor, under the guise of mentoring students, has ruined countless students, and now he's pretending to be a virtuous gentleman.
Jiang Wende wanted to build a relationship, so he said what Tian Fengyi dared not say: "Mayor Tian is right, we still need to be careful about the impact."
After all, our trip to Germany for research and professional development was entirely thanks to Qi Tongwei; he was the head of the delegation. If he goes back and complains about us, we're all finished.
Lei, the deputy director of the Pingzhou Municipal Finance Bureau, was unconvinced. "What's there to be afraid of? Today, we're all from provincial departments and other cities. We're all on the same side. Who would be stupid enough to file a complaint?"
Tian Fengyi was taken aback, and only then did he notice the change in personnel. There was a large group of people there that night, and he really hadn't noticed who came and who didn't.
Tian Fengyi asked the others, "Didn't you notify the cadres in Beishan?"
"We notified them, but they didn't want to come."
Why don't you want to come?
Director Wei said, "They are cadres from Beishan, so of course they are worried about Qi Tongwei's attitude."
After all, if you're going to be working for someone else, nobody dares to be the first to stick their neck out.
"If they don't come, they don't come. We'll feel more at ease, so we don't have to worry about someone reporting us if we do anything."
"Yeah."
Someone tentatively suggested, "How about a few of us... sneak off and check it out?"
Tian Fengyi hesitated for a moment, "This...isn't that a bad idea?"
"What's wrong with that? We just need to be careful."
"Yes, can Qi Tongwei keep an eye on us every day?"
"How about this, I'll go and scout out some information later, find out the situation in this area, and go see it for myself while ensuring my safety, okay?"
Hearing this, everyone was tempted.
Tian Fengyi still feigned concern, saying, "Let me make this clear first: I can only learn, not make mistakes."
As the group was wondering where they could find such "red industry" businesses in the vicinity, a sexy woman walked into the courtyard in bright red high heels.
The woman appeared to be in her thirties, with soft blonde hair falling smoothly over her shoulders and bright, expressive eyes.
She wore a black mini-skirt, with her thighs encased in black stockings beneath the hem, and a low-cut, loose white top that revealed a pair of large, wavy breasts.
She was incredibly sexy, attracting the attention of all the men nearby.
The woman glanced around the courtyard, her gaze lingering on Tian Fengyi's face, before slowly walking over.
Their hearts started pounding.
"Sir, I would like to sit in the courtyard, but all the seats here are full. Could I share a seat with you?"
Everyone stared blankly at the woman, unable to understand what she was babbling about.
Fortunately, Tian Fengyi, being a renowned professor, knew a few words of German and quickly stood up to invite the other party to sit down, saying, "No problem, it's my honor."
The woman sat down in the chair next to Tian Fengyi.
Everyone else looked at Tian Fengyi, their eyes asking what was going on.
Tian Fengyi explained that we had taken up all the space in the courtyard, and she said there was nowhere to sit, so she wanted to share a table with us.
Everyone then realized what was happening and felt somewhat envious of Tian Fengyi's good fortune.
The woman smiled and nodded at the group, then slowly took out a slender cigarette and lit it.
The unique aroma of the woman's cigarette, mixed with her sweet, fragrant breath, filled the air, making everyone's nostrils tingle with desire.
So sexy!
Their gazes involuntarily drifted to the woman's thighs and breasts; the black stockings accentuated her slender, straight legs, which stretched into the depths of the darkness, captivating the senses.
A black lace bra peeked out from the gap between the buttons of the white shirt, creating a deep cleavage that drew the eye.
Tian Fengyi coughed lightly twice to remind everyone.
"Miss, I'm so sorry, they..."
The woman smiled slightly, exhaled a puff of smoke, and said with a complicated expression, "It's alright, I'm used to this kind of look."
This attitude, however, made Tian Fengyi somewhat infatuated. His intuition told him that this German woman must have some kind of attractive past.
Tian Fengyi very gentlemanly called over a waiter, "Miss, as an apology, please allow me to pay the bill for this meal."
The woman maintained her faint smile. "Thank you, sir. You are a true gentleman."
