All Heavens Pension started from the fiery era

Chapter 708 709. Social gatherings during the Republic of China

At this time, Kong Xiangxi was still far from becoming famous, and in Yue Hanzhang's eyes he was just an ordinary person.

Yue Hanzhang saw a look of surprise in his son's eyes, as if it was a big deal that he knew Kong Xiangxi, which made him wonder why his son had such a mentality.

He then said, "Your uncle Kong and I were born in the same year, so what's so strange about me knowing him?

We knew each other when we were young. When he went abroad to study, he had financial difficulties and I donated three thousand dollars to him.

Your uncle Kong originally came from a prominent family in Shanxi, but his father was a bit mediocre and had a bad habit of smoking opium, so the family business fell into ruin under his hands.

Fortunately, your uncle Kong is a very determined person. Under such difficult conditions and under great pressure, he went abroad to study.

Since returning from studying in the United States, he has been busy with the revolutionary cause and has also thought about reviving his family business. In the past two years, we have interacted more frequently.

He strongly recommended that we invest in Shanghai Commercial Savings Bank. After his analysis, I also felt that this small bank had great development prospects, so I was quite tempted. "

After listening to his father's story, Yue Wenxuan basically understood that his father and Kong Xiangxi should have a very close relationship.

Just the fact that his father gave Kong Xiangxi 3,000 oceans to support him studying abroad when he was young was a great favor.

With such a foundation, even if Kong Xiangxi reaches a high position in the future, he must adopt a superficially friendly and equal attitude when facing Yue Hanzhang.

Without Yue Wenxuan's financial support, Yue Hanzhang, whose family had gradually declined, would certainly not have been able to get along with Kong Xiangxi on an equal footing, and it was inevitable that their relationship would drift apart.

But Yue Hanzhang has a son named Yue Wenxuan, which means his future is destined to be more and more brilliant. Kong Xiangxi is now making friends with Yue Hanzhang as an important person. Even if he gets promoted in the future, Yue Wenxuan is still confident that he can keep this mentality when interacting with his father.

Even if Yue Wenxuan is unwilling to show himself too much, he can at least ensure that Kong Xiangxi always interacts with his father on an equal footing.

The situation will become more and more chaotic in the future. Yue Wenxuan does not want his family to be frightened because of the war, nor does he want his business and wealth to be coveted by those powerful people. Therefore, it is necessary to establish a top international and domestic network.

Without such a guarantee, Yue Wenxuan would certainly be able to protect the personal and property safety of his family, but it would certainly be more troublesome to deal with. If he could build a top-level network of relationships, when he encountered trouble, he might be able to solve it with just one phone call. He has always been a lazy person, so of course he wanted to save trouble.

Kong Xiangxi has shown signs of success now, and Yue Wenxuan is ready to remind his father, "Father, Kong Xiangxi and Mr. Sun have become closer. You should know this, right?"

"How can you be so rude to address your elders by their first names? Did your teachers at school teach you this?"

After scolding him, Yue Hanzhang continued to ask without waiting for Yue Wenxuan to answer: "How did you know?"

“We students and our teachers are also very concerned about current affairs. Don’t underestimate my sources of information. Many of my classmates and teachers have deep backgrounds.

There are some very confidential information, even if it has not yet spread in society, I, as a student, may already know it. "

In order to gain greater voice and more freedom for himself, Yue Wenxuan deliberately exaggerated.

"I thought you were always studying hard, but I didn't expect you to be so concerned about current affairs.

Your uncle Kong’s sister-in-law married Mr. Sun last year. Of course I know about such a big thing.

With this relationship, your position in the party will definitely become higher and higher in the future.

It is because of this consideration that I attach so much importance to this investment in the Magic City Commercial Savings Bank.

After all, the new list of shareholders includes not only your uncle Kong’s name, but also Mr. Sun’s father-in-law Song Yaoru’s name.

For such a small bank with two special shareholders, I think the possibility of losing money is very small. Since the risk is small, of course I have to invest. "

It seems that his father still has some vision. Since his father has seen this, Yue Wenxuan no longer mentioned this matter and just said:
"I also think this is a good investment opportunity. If you need the money urgently, you can take it from me first. Since this is a good investment opportunity, we should decide on it as soon as possible to avoid any unexpected changes."

"You'd better keep the money yourself. Even if you decide to invest, you don't have to transfer the money right away. Things won't happen that quickly." Yue Hanzhang did not intend to invest his son's money.

With Yue Wenxuan's help, after paying 10,000 yuan to the eldest uncle and the second uncle respectively, the Yue family's financial situation is still very good. Next, the confirmed matters such as the renovation of the ancestral house and the purchase of a car began to be implemented one by one.

Yue Wenxuan stopped worrying about family matters and began to enjoy his holiday life.

In my previous life, there were three good classmates. The four of us often got together, sometimes in other classmates’ villas, and sometimes in Yue Wenxuan’s Sanshanju.

For the first gathering after the holiday, everyone chose Yue Wenxuan’s Sanshanju.

Before the students arrived, Yue Wenxuan had already asked Huang Youjin to prepare all kinds of things, including fruits, drinks, snacks, and other entertainment items, such as musical instruments and phonographs.

The social activities and communication methods during the Republic of China period were very different from those in modern society, and had the characteristics of the times and a unique charm.

During the Republic of China period, teahouses and restaurants were the main venues for social activities, and some people with better financial conditions would also gather at home.

Teahouses are important places for people to communicate and negotiate. Almost everyone, young or old, male or female, will spend some precious time in teahouses.

In the teahouse, people savor the fragrant tea, chatting while sipping, which brings them closer to each other.

Restaurants were the preferred places for scholars and intellectuals during the Republic of China period. They would gather here with their elegant literary and musical talents, enjoy food and drinks, and listen to each other and exchange ideas and opinions.

During the Republic of China period, a unique social method was popular: photo studios. People would invite relatives and friends to go to photo studios, dress themselves up neatly, and pose in various ways to capture the beautiful moments in time.

This way of socializing became a major feature of social activities during the Republic of China period, and also reflected people's pursuit of beauty and cherishment of the passage of time.

In addition, a peculiar social activity called "dance carnival" appeared during the Republic of China period.

People will dance, laugh, enjoy food and drinks in the banquet hall, and express their emotions. This kind of activity is a stage for the rich and famous to show their wealth and status, and it has also become the best opportunity to make friends and expand their network.

Yue Wenxuan and several of his classmates were still young people. Although they longed to go to the dance hall, no one had ever been there because of their strict family discipline.

Their gathering places are mostly teahouses, restaurants and their own villas. Occasionally, if they feel like it, they will go to a photo studio to take a few photos.

Because it was something that had been agreed upon long ago, people had already arrived before eight o'clock.

The first person to enter the room was the original body's best friend Su Jiaxing, but he did not come alone, but came with his sister Su Jiahui.

This is a common occurrence and Yue Wenxuan was not surprised.

Although we have entered a new era, society still imposes great restrictions on young women. They cannot go out and party as often as boys, and can only find ways to find opportunities to go out.

If there is a gathering among family members and it is confirmed that there are no inconvenient people present, the young women in the family will often join in.

Such a gathering opportunity is rare, and Yue Wenxuan's sister Yue Suzhi also didn't want to miss it, so she followed Yue Wenxuan to Sanshanju early.

As the hostess, Yue Wenxuan's sister can receive the female guests arriving today.

Among the guests who are coming today, Su Jiaxing and Yue Wenxuan have known each other the longest. The two have known each other since they were just learning to read and write, and can be considered childhood friends.

Not only are the two people of similar age, they also have similar family backgrounds. They have a lot of common topics, and their relationship has become closer and closer over the years.

Su Jiaxing was a chubby boy of medium build, with an ordinary appearance, but his sister Su Jiahui was a tall beauty, although not as beautiful as Yue Suzhi, she was still a rare beauty.

As soon as the two entered the door, Yue Suzhi pulled Su Jiahui aside to talk in private.

Su Jiaxing sat down next to Yue Wenxuan and said mysteriously, "Wenxuan, I'm going to visit my aunt in the Magic City in a few days. I plan to find an opportunity to go to the big ballroom in the Magic City to open my eyes. Do you want to find a reason to go with me?"

"I'll give it a try, it may not work." Yue Wenxuan was indeed tempted. Although he was familiar with Demon City, the Demon City of this era was unfamiliar to him. He wanted to go and see what the Demon City of this era looked like.

"It would be best if we could go together, so I'd have someone to accompany me." Su Jiaxing was very happy to hear that Yue Wenxuan hoped to go with him, "To be honest with you, I'm a little scared to go to the big ballroom in Magic City alone.

I heard that although the big dance halls in Shanghai are fun, there are often some troubles.

My father strictly forbade me to go to the dance hall and have fun, so I dared not bring anyone with me. I could only go there secretly to broaden my horizons. With my small body, if I had a conflict with someone and a fight broke out, I would definitely be the one who suffered. "

"You are still young. It is not safe for you to go to the dance hall alone. If people see that you are an innocent teenager who knows nothing about the world, they might kidnap you as soon as you leave the door of the dance hall."

Yue Wenxuan was not sure if he could go with Su Jiaxing, and was a little worried about his safety, so he deliberately threatened him.

Su Jiaxing was really shocked. "That's impossible. How could they be kidnapped? Aren't people who run dance halls said to have powerful backers? If they can't even protect their guests, who would dare to go there to play?"

"You are too naive to think so. You were not kidnapped in the dance hall. How could the backstage of the dance hall be responsible for what happened after you left?

After your family pays the ransom, maybe you can get a share of the dance hall. You have to understand one thing: in this world, as long as there is profit to be made, no matter how crazy the thing is, it is possible to happen. "

Su Jiaxing was not very courageous to begin with. "After hearing what you said, I don't dare to go to the big ballroom in Magic City alone. If something really happens, it will be too late to regret it."

"You're right to think so. I definitely won't go to a chaotic place like a dance hall alone. Even if I want to go, I will definitely bring a few bodyguards with me.

Although we are young, we are also responsible for our own safety. We have bodyguards at home, so it is better to bring a few more people with us when we go to such chaotic places." Yue Wenxuan did not want his friends to get into trouble, so he used himself as an example.

The two had just chatted for a while when Yue Wenxuan's other friend, Zhan Zhaoxiang, came in with his sister Zhan Zhaoling.

Zhan Zhaoxiang is two years older than Yue Wenxuan, and they are now in the same class. Zhan Zhaoxiang is quite handsome, very active, and cheerful, and has a good family background. The Zhan family can barely enter the ranks of millionaires, and is considered a well-known family in Wuzhou.

Zhan Zhaoling was two years younger than her brother. She was not as outstanding as her brother, and her appearance could only be described as delicate. She and Yue Suzhi studied in the same girls' school. Although they were not in the same grade, they had known each other for a long time, so Yue Suzhi did not need to entertain them specially. After she entered the house, she got together with her two sisters, and the three of them soon started talking and laughing.

The last to arrive were Bai Yuanshao and his twin sister Bai Yuanwei. They were both one year older than Yue Wenxuan and had outstanding looks, but their clothes were a little simpler than the others.

The Bai family was a wealthy family a few years ago, but the business in which Bai Yuanshao's father invested heavily failed, and their financial situation took a sharp turn for the worse. Although they have not yet fallen completely, all aspects of their lives have obviously declined, and they can only barely maintain basic decency.

After the brother and sister arrived, all the people for today's gathering were present. Yue Wenxuan said:

"Let me first tell you about the arrangements for today's party. Let me know if you have any other opinions. If you have any, please speak up and we'll make further adjustments.

Here's what I'm thinking: let's not go out in the morning, let's just stay at home and listen to the phonograph, chat, and those who have talents can show off their talents. If you want to dance, we can also have a small dance party, I've prepared all kinds of dance records.

Let's have lunch at home. I've already booked a meal at the restaurant so we don't have to run around in this hot weather.

Let's take a break in the afternoon. When it's not too hot, we can consider going to a movie or going boating. As for which one to choose, we can discuss it later."
