Chapter 228

When I saw Chu Xiaoxin again, Chu Ershao was no longer the second son of the rich family who was jealous and aggressive in the wine market. His hair was carefully combed with hair wax, his clothes were straight, and his shoes were shiny. The place where he gathered with song TIANYAO at night was no longer the magnificent Lichi night club or jinfengchi dance hall in the past, but the silver moon dance hall on Central Avenue.

Compared with the dance venues such as Li Chi and Jin Feng Chi, the silver moon dance hall has become a little outdated. The changes in decoration and lighting are far less colorful than those newly opened dance halls. A dance hall, scattered seats in the hall and more than ten boxes are the whole of the silver moon dance hall. Compared with those nightclubs that will provide one-stop services such as sparrow hall, teahouse and restaurant, I don't know how poor I am.

As usual, Chu Xiaoxin could not have come to such a place, but now he is a regular visitor here. Instead, he seldom goes to the happy events such as Li Chi and Jin Feng Chi.

The youngest guests who came to Yinyue ballroom for recreation were almost 40 years old. When Yinyue ballroom opened in 1930, they were the first group of luxury guests who competed with each other here. Now 20 years later, these guests have been the new generation of Chinese businessmen in Hong Kong, including Chu Yaozong, Chu Xiaoxin's father, If they are occasionally invited by their peers to come to the dance hall to listen to music, they will only come to the silver moon dance hall. When they were young, the silver moon dance hall was a new thing, which made them accustomed to the sounds and graceful and romantic. Now they are old and still like to come to the outdated silver moon dance hall to dance, but the silver moon dance hall has not changed, but they have all changed, The ambitious young man who started from scratch when he was young, or the rich childe who inherited his ancestral career and made progress, has now become a leader in various industries. He has the worst title, and is also a director of the Baoliang Bureau, a member of the Donghua Third People's court, a justice of the peace, and so on.

Over time, there was even an unwritten rule in Yinyue ballroom. Don't go to Yinyue to lose face without the honor of demonstrating social identity, such as justices of the peace, Baoliang Bureau, Donghua third hospital and so on.

Of course, this rule is not mandatory. It was only a joke at first, but it has really spread slowly, because if you come to Yinyue dance hall as a dandy before Chu Er Shao, don't say you want to be an uncle and youth group leader in Yinyue dance hall. It is estimated that even if you spend all your pocket money, the popular dancers in Yinyue dance hall won't have time to dance with him, Therefore, many rich CHILDES also take the initiative not to go to the Yinyue dance hall. After all, they are jealous and aggressive. The other party is a generation of mall bosses with the title of justice of the peace. They have the privilege of pointing deer as horses. Even in the end, they are scolded by their parents and think about it behind closed doors. They rob women with those people? It's easier to castrate yourself.

"Last time I saw you, I asked me to contact you to the United States. Why did I see you this time? Can you ask me out for a date? Don't be so purposeful?" seeing that song TIANYAO was brought into his box by the waiter, Chu Xiaoxin stood up with a smile, reached out and beat song TIANYAO on the shoulder, then strangled song TIANYAO's neck, grinned and said: "Is there no you in my eyes, boss?"

On the sofa next to him sat a young beauty in a simple dress. Originally, she just sat quietly beside Chu Xiaoxin, but when she saw Chu Xiaoxin get up and say hello to song TIANYAO, she immediately stood up, with a decent and polite smile on her face, watching the actions of song TIANYAO and Chu Xiaoxin.

Chu Xiaoxin, after song TIANYAO was softened by his plea for mercy, released his arm and introduced the beauty to song TIANYAO: "this is Lu Peiying, my girlfriend, her father is a barrister and a member of the Legislative Council, Mr. Lu Wenhui."

"Hello, Miss Lu, this is song TIANYAO." at first, song TIANYAO thought that the other party was the dancer held by Chu Xiaoxin in the silver moon ballroom. At this time, hearing Chu Xiaoxin's introduction, he stretched out his hand to the other party, leaned slightly and said hello politely.

Lu Peiying shook song TIANYAO's hand slightly, smiled and said, "Hello, Mr. Song, during this time, whenever brother Xin encounters trouble, he will mention Mr. Song's name. I've heard this name too many times. Brother Xin has always said that it's all Mr. Song who helps him today."

"I'm used to Mr. Chu. He can't change his mouth for a moment. It's not so exaggerated. I'm just running errands with Mr. Chu." song TIANYAO said modestly.

After hearing Chu Ershao's introduction that Lu Peiying was his girlfriend and Lu Wenhui's name, song TIANYAO concluded that Chu Ershao would marry this beautiful woman named Lu Peiying this time, whether he wanted it or not. Chu Ershao could marry the Lu family, and it was unlikely that she would have a daughter. Lu Peiying should be Lu Wenhui's daughter, but even if she had a daughter, I'm afraid she would be a lot of young talents Jun tossed and turned but couldn't get it.

The Lu family is one of the four Chinese families in Hong Kong in the eyes of the British. At present, the owner of the Lu family is the chief Chinese non-official member of the Hong Kong colonial government. He has successively served as the non-official member of the three municipal councils of the Urban Council, the Legislative Council and the Executive Council, the general counsel of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, the permanent member of the law of the Po Leung Kuk, the permanent adviser of the three chambers of Tung Wah, the president and counselor of the University of Hong Kong, and the winner of the Jazz Medal of the British Empire Brocade.

Lu Wenhui is Lu Wenjin's third brother. At present, she is one of the partners of Lu Wenjin's law firm in Hong Kong. She is a well-known barrister and justice of the peace. She has successively served as a member of the Hong Kong Municipal Council. Now she is a non official member of the Hong Kong Legislative Council, a winner of the OBE order of the British Empire, and a director of the board of directors of Star Ferry Co., Ltd., Hong Kong Tram company, China Light and power company and many other listed companies.

In addition to Lu Wenjin, the owner of the Lu family, and Lu Wenhui, the third, there are two other people in the Lu family. They are Lu Wenxian, the second brother of Lu Wenhui, and Lu Wenhao, the fourth brother. The fourth Lu Wenhao is now a justice of the peace and a justice of the high court of Hong Kong. The second Lu Wenxian has set foot in the business world. The Chinese class of Jardine's foreign firm, the justice of the peace, the duty manager of the Chinese Merchants Association, and the president of the Housing Federation of Hong Kong foreign firms.

When other Chinese families were still delighted to get a title of justice of the peace, the title of justice of the peace was the least valuable title on each of the four Lu brothers.

Although the Chu family is the leader of the Chaozhou chamber of Commerce, when it comes to the social status in the eyes of the Hong Kong colonial government, the Lu family is better than the Chu family. After all, the Chu family is a businessman, and the Lu family is already a prominent political figure.

If we want to simply distinguish the identities of the Chu family and the Lu family, one sentence is enough. Lu Wenjin, the owner of the Lu family, will be called a motion when he sees the governor of Hong Kong. When Chu Yaozong, the master of the Chu family, saw the governor of Hong Kong and said a word, it was called opinion at most.

Status is clear at a glance.

Even if Lu Peiying is Lu Wenhui's daughter, Chu Er, who became rich overnight, did not dump her. It is obvious that this is a typical Chinese family marriage. However, Chu Er Shao is lucky. Lu Peiying is a beautiful girl, and his own appearance is also handsome. It is a perfect match. It is not like that there is too much difference between men and women in many other family marriages.

When song TIANYAO and Chu Xiaoxin sat down, Lu Peiying over there smiled and got up: "you talk to Mr. Song. I'll go outside to enjoy jazz with my second sister-in-law."

"Go." Chu Xiaoxin nodded.

Lu Peiying left the box with light steps. Song TIANYAO looked at Chu Xiaoxin and asked curiously, "second sister-in-law?"

"Her second brother Lu Dezhang and his wife also chatted with people in the box of the silver moon dance hall. I just went to say hello." Chu Xiaoxin picked up the French orchid on the table, poured red wine into two goblets, and gave song TIANYAO a cup.

Song TIANYAO lowered his head to smell the wine and said to Chu Xiaoxin, "boss, I don't feel like I've seen you for a while. You seem to be mature?"

After touching the wine glass with song TIANYAO, Chu Xiaoxin smiled bitterly after tasting the wine: "Of course I'm mature. The woman outside came from a good wife and mother. Everyone knows her for only two months and is about to get engaged, but the lady of the family has no interest at all. Look at her so dignified. They respect each other like guests. Think about it. When she and I entered the bridal chamber, she spoke like this. Everyone can stand it?"

"Hey, I don't know what happiness is in the midst of happiness. If you're not boss Likang and a young talent, how can you have a chance to talk about marriage with the Lu family's daughter? The Lu family has always only married the he family who is in charge of the family." after taking a sip of wine, song TIANYAO said to Chu Xiaoxin: "Moreover, the Lu family's daughter is famous for being virtuous and won't be jealous. I remember that it should be Miss Lu's aunt who married the brother of He Dong, the owner of the he family, as the big room. Mr. He is different. He sings every night? Concubines and lovers are brought into the house together for more than 30."

"That's the he family. How dare I? I'm not afraid of her. I'm also afraid of her old beans!" Chu Xiaoxin exhaled heavily: "Now I feel more and more that being a justice of the peace is not as free as it was at the beginning. Now I come out to drink and come to the silver moon dance hall. All my friends who drink and chat are people in their teens and twenties. What are you talking about? I think I've become an old man in my thirties and forties."

"I'll take you to the United States and Japan for a break? See the exotic customs?" song TIANYAO said to Chu Xiaoxin with a bad smile.

Chu Xiaoxin's eyes lit up immediately: "really?"

"Really, I don't want to ask you for help before." song TIANYAO looked at Chu Xiaoxin.

Chu Xiaoxin leaned his body against the sofa and said, "what's the matter? I knew you wouldn't be kind enough to see me."

"Ghost sister is going back to Hong Kong. She will be very short of money. I talked to ghost man Shi Zhiyi and he will help me take the lead in arranging. I want to ask Likang company to guarantee and borrow a sum of money from HSBC." song TIANYAO said to Chu Xiaoxin calmly.

Chu Xiaoxin was stunned: "loan? You are short of money. I'll give it to you. Besides, of course, the loan is to go to the Chinese bank. Why do you make the interest cheap? How much do you lack?"

"Two hundred thousand dollars." song TIANYAO stared at Chu Xiaoxin's stunned eyes and said a number.
