Back to the Republic of China to be a editor

"Master, don't forget about your appointment tonight."

……

"Okay, Old Sun, can you tell me who the blind date is tonight?" Tang Hua asked Sun Shi before getting into the car as he walked out of the gate of Shanghai Jiaotong University.

"Secretary Sima knows, I haven't asked him yet, but you will know when you see Sima Mianqun in a while." Sun Shi said, "Master, you must treat this matter with caution and don't play tricks on the spot. This is what Commander Cai told Secretary Sima Zhang Luo's."

"Commander Cai, Commander Cai," Tang Hua said helplessly, "Those who don't know may think that Commander Cai Tingkai is my uncle."

"Actually, what you said is correct. Commander Cai and the master are in neighboring villages, so he regards the young master as his nephew. And, don't forget that Mr. Li also intervened in your affairs. Don't worry, he must look good. , the young master is 1 meters tall and suave, and the girl's family must also be a big beauty. Moreover, she must be of the right family."

The location of the blind date this time is in the ballroom, Paramount.On Tang Hua Road, I have been thinking about which family's daughter will set the place for the first meeting in the ballroom. It seems that the daughter of this family is not only rich, but also very fond of playing.

When the group went to the dance hall upstairs, they first saw Sima Mianqun.

"Young Master Tang, you really know how to check time," Sima Mianqun said with relief when he saw Tang Hua, "We agreed on a date at 08:30, and now it's 28:40... [-] seconds away."

"I'm not very punctual," Tang Hua said with a smile, "Girls will definitely not arrive early for appointments, and they will often be a few minutes late..."

"Don't interrupt," Sima Mianqun looked towards the entrance of the ballroom, "She's here."

A young girl and a seriously dressed old aunt appeared in Tang Hua's vision.

"Come on, let me introduce you. This is Tang Hua, the only son of Tang Xiong, a former Shanghai municipal councilor and business tycoon. This is Xie Jiahua, Zuoma Youhua, the daughter of Xie Xiaochu, chairman of the board."

Xie Jiahua?

After the two sides introduced, Tang Hua sat at the small table, looking with interest at this famous lady who had been "hot searched" in Shanghai several times during the Republic of China.

"Mr. Tang is a top student at the Virginia Military Academy in the United States. After graduating last year, Admiral Shang Zhen originally asked him to serve in the military delegation stationed in the United States, but because of family reasons, he returned to China. Now he has taken over the entire family business. Mr. Cai, Chief Prosecutor Li Jichen, General Fan Shaozeng and Fan Shaozeng are very good young masters." Sima Mianqun continued to introduce the two parties to warm up the scene, "Miss Xie is also a daughter of a famous family, beautiful and generous, proficient in singing, dancing, poetry and prose... ..."

"Young Master Tang, you've been staring into my eyes since you sat down."

Xie Jiahua spoke, her voice was soft and soft, and there was some coquettishness that had been deliberately trained.The girl is 1 meters tall, and she is already medium-tall among women of this era. She has a fair and delicate oval face, but she has short hair, which is typical of students in this era—like two peeled grapefruit peels hanging on her head. on both sides.The lipstick tone is a bit exaggerated, and the face seems too long - if the face is short like Jing Tian's, it will make the facial features look cramped, but Xie Jiahua's will make the face look very long.Fortunately, he has a pair of big eyes, which is in line with Tang Hua's 65st century aesthetics.

"Because...your eyes are so beautiful." Tang Hua replied with a smile, "There are sun, moon, winter and summer, sunny and rainy mountains and rivers in it. But my eyes are more beautiful because you are in it."

Xie Jiahua chuckled, and remembered that she forgot to cover her mouth after laughing. "Young Master Tang..."

"Just call me Tang Hua."

Seeing Tang Hua and Xie Jiahua's first words, the three of them seemed very happy.

"Young people communicate, those of us who are old...huh?" Sima Mianqun said.

"Yes, then let's wait outside the door to get some fresh air."

Tang Hua and Xie Jiahua sat opposite each other at the small coffee table in the ballroom.Inadvertently, the two had stayed for half an hour.

"Tang Hua, why didn't you become an officer in the military academy you studied in the United States?"

"Japan has already surrendered." Tang Hua answered briefly in one sentence.

"However, there are so many national troops in Shanghai now, and all of them are very impressive."

Tang Hua smiled first, thought for a while, raised his eyebrows and asked:

"Is your father released on bail now? What are your plans for the future?"

Xie Jiahua, who had been chattering non-stop just now, fell silent.He lowered his head and lowered his eyes, not knowing how to answer.

"Tang Hua, did you know about my dad from the beginning?"

Xie Jiahua's father, Xie Xiaochu, is indeed somewhat famous in Shanghai.He used to be the general manager of Nanyang Commercial Bank, the director and business manager of Zhongnan Weiying Manufacturing Factory, and the chairman of the Chemical Raw Materials Industry Association—it is a pity that these positions were held after Shanghai was occupied by the Japanese army.Therefore, after the recovery of Shanghai, Xie Xiaochu was branded a traitor, saying that the label might not be accurate, but he really was.Xie Xiaochu is not a neutral businessman who concentrates on making money in a low-key manner. He is also keen on politics. He is a member of the Wang Puppet Economic Committee and has a heated fight with Li Shiqun.The government gave him the conclusion that he was an "economic traitor".

When the national army robbed Shanghai, even legitimate businessmen dared to ransack their homes directly, let alone Xie Xiaochu. Within two rounds, Xie Xiaochu was found out. He was arrested and locked up first, and all his properties were seized. .Afterwards, Xie Xiaochu's family entrusted a lot of connections, and they were barely saved, but the factory chamber of commerce was still sealed.The demands of the KMT’s receivers are also very simple. I’m not interested in imprisoning you or shooting you. I’m interested in your money.From bail to court, the more money you spit out, the lighter the sentence.

Historically, Xie Xiaochu was sentenced to only two and a half years in prison. It seems that his money was wiped out by the robbers.

As for Xie Xiaochu's daughter, Xie Jiahua, the first time she appeared on the "Hot Search" was in August 1946—the Miss Shanghai beauty pageant a few months later.Xie Jiahua was good at singing and dancing, and was beautiful (although Tang Hua only gave a cautious evaluation of this, but that was the way the public felt at that time), and he had the highest voice to win the championship.However, during the voting, Fan Shaozeng spent money and used his connections to promote his concubine Wang Yunmei, whom Tang Hua had met, to the championship, and Xie Jiahua came in second.

Fortunately, through this beauty pageant, Xie Jiahua became famous and successfully found a wealthy son-in-law - a wealthy businessman who was ten years older than her. He married into a wealthy family and successfully alleviated the family's financial crisis.After that, she stepped into the showbiz and quarreled with her rich husband, that was another hot search content.

This controversial actress in the history of the Republic of China is just around the corner.Tang Hua's words just now broke Xie Jiahua's psychological advantage. The character of the rich lady collapsed, and she became a precarious family where the head of the family was tried, the property was seized, and the family might be ruined at any time.The blow may be too hard.

"Jiahua, that's why I don't want to join the national army." Tang Hua said seriously to Xie Jiahua, "You have also seen the national army in Shanghai. Some of your father's property...maybe it has nothing to do with Wang Jingwei. Let's clear up the relationship, but I believe there must be a part of it, which may be a lot, and he can earn it as a businessman Zheng Jiang. But the receiving officers of the national army and the government are all like hungry wolves, and they can't wait to take you The family was wiped out, and even killed. I have heard such cases in Shanghai for the past few months. Joining such an army is unjustifiable regardless of conscience or morality."

When Tang Hua uttered the words to kill and kill, Xie Jiahua's expression changed from lonely to uneasy, and his voice trembled a little. "How can I save my dad?"

Chapter 19, Campus Singer ([-])

On the night of the "blind date", Tang Hua and Xie Jiahua sang and danced at Paramount, and it was almost midnight when the show ended.

What Xie Jiahua feared the most was his father's trial. Tang Hua told him in an optimistic and relieved tone that the matter was not serious, and his father's life was definitely not in danger.Tang Hua also hinted slightly that he should be able to solve this problem.After listening to Tang Hua's analysis, Xie Jiahua returned to his silly look.

The dance is so beautiful...

When Xie Jiahua is on the dance floor, she must be the focus of the audience.And Tang Hua's dancing can only be so-so, like doing radio gymnastics... Who in the 21st century still dances this old-fashioned cuddling and hugging slowly, so there is no learning to talk at all.Not all of Xie Jiahua's dance partners were Tang Hua. When someone came to invite Xie Jiahua to dance, Xie Jiahua first refused some who did not want to dance with him, and then looked at Tang Hua with questioning eyes, asking if he would approve.

……

The next morning, while Tang Hua was still having breakfast, Secretary Sima Mianqun called.He first asked how the conversation went yesterday, and Tang Hua said that the conversation was very good.Sima Mianqun urged him again as usual, and then said something serious.

After the first meeting of CAGO, the organizational structure basically took shape.During the first meeting, Tang Hua suggested that after the establishment of the ADMO, get in touch with zg, Cai, Li and others also had this intention, so some time ago, the ADMO's boss in Chongqing got in touch with Vice Chairman Zhou, and Proposing to send a representative to Yan'an to visit and investigate is also to strengthen the communication and cooperation between the two parties.Vice-Chairman Zhou readily agreed, and said that Yan'an would receive the NGO representatives in a grand manner.

Tang Hua was of course the one who went to Yan'an for a visit on behalf of the people.On the one hand, this suggestion was originally put forward by Tang Hua, on the other hand, on the side of the People's Procuratorate, there are some concerns about whether to send a few veterans to Yan'an.The elders are too eye-catching, and their whereabouts are leaked ahead of time, which is very troublesome.Therefore, one should be sent to Yan'an who is not a veteran, but who can hold the table in terms of position, seniority, or blood relationship—such as Tang Hua.

According to the progress of the civil promotion and the preparation work in Yan'an, we can leave around April 4th.This means that Tang Hua can still stay in Shanghai for nearly a month.

"Old Sun, I'm going to Jiaotong University in a while." Tang Hua said, "The futures fund will report at noon, and you will receive the two managers."

"Yes, master. Let the little six be the driver, and let Guo Fengnian accompany the car....One more thing, at 4 o'clock this afternoon, EMI Records will send someone to negotiate." Sun Shi checked the itinerary.

"EMI? Oh, are you here to talk about the release of the album "Questions of Thousands of Times"?" Tang Hua said.

"Yes."

"Hehe... Four o'clock is too early, and my salon at Jiaotong University is not over yet. Old Sun, tell them to go directly to Jiaotong University to find me at four o'clock in the afternoon."

"I'm going to call EMI right now. EMI company actually wants to ask the young master to write some songs for their company's popular singers. This time, besides Manager Feng, there is also Zhou Xuan. They seem to be very sincere."

"Zhou Xuan? Zhou Xuan with the golden voice?"

"Exactly."

"Hey! Wait for a while. Old Sun, I'm still at Jiaotong University in the afternoon, and I'll let their EMI people pass by. But...suit, yes, suit, find out the suit I ordered in Hong Kong."

Tang Hua combed his hair carefully in front of the mirror, cleaned up his whole body, and checked whether the leather shoes were spotless before going downstairs.
