Republic of China small businessman

Today's banquet is a charity auction held to raise funds.

He Dongting took the lead and had many followers.

He Dongting is a long-established businessman with a high net worth in the Shanghai stock market. In addition, he is from a scholarly family, so he can be regarded as a Confucian businessman.He is now in his forties, which is the golden period of his career development, but he is stable, fair, and looks quite amiable and handsome, he looks like a university professor, not a big shot in the business world.

Boss He brought his son He Shuwei along with him this time. Master Jiu took a look at him, but he was just an ordinary young man, about eighteen or nineteen years old.

Bai Mingyu muttered behind Master Jiu: "It's really as good as the rumors say."

Master Jiu glanced at him.

Bai Mingyu felt guilty, but he still whispered: "I'm not wrong, I've read about it in the newspapers, He Dongting's son is pretty average, he doesn't have any skills and keeps making troubles, if this is left in our house, my father and I will have to deal with it a long time ago." Eldest brother is laying the board in the ancestral hall." Bai Mingyu concluded, "Boss He is not good at being a father."

Master Jiu said, "How dare you talk about others?"

Bai Mingyu restrained himself and followed Master Jiu obediently, without saying a word.

He Dongting saw them from a distance, stepped forward to greet them two steps, and warmly invited Master Jiu to sit in a box with him.This time it was a post from the He family. Master Jiu came here for the first time, and this Boss He was very polite to Master Jiu: "I heard that you came a long time ago, but I haven't been able to see you. I saw you today. Beidi Bai Jiuye's name The number really lives up to its reputation.”

Jiu Ye said: "I'm ashamed, I'm busy with things, I haven't been able to meet Mr. He."

He Dongting said with a smile: "Where, where, I heard that the Bai family bought several pieces of land in the eastern suburbs. How are things going? Is there anything I can help you with?"

Master Jiu had a few words of politeness with him, and the two of them came and went with each other, but they maintained a superficial harmony.

Someone brought in the list booklet, but He Dongting didn't even read it. He put it aside and asked someone to take pictures of a few things at random.

Master Jiu chatted with him for a while in the box and took a few pictures.

The money is going to be donated, but it doesn't matter.

Most of the items taken by Lord Jiu are porcelain. Among the five pieces, there are three pieces of blue and white porcelain, and a small blue and white bowl with a phoenix pattern. It's a baby.

He Dongting asked with a smile: "Brother Bai likes blue and white flowers?"

"It's okay, it's just that the family prefers this thing, and they are young and ignorant. Buy it for him to play with for a few days, and it will be fine after he gets used to it." Master Jiu's tone was light, but he didn't take it slow, and took another shot while speaking. .

Seeing that he liked it, He Dongting didn't try to compete with him. When the two of them were chatting, he handed over the brochure at hand to his son who was sitting beside him and asked him a few words.He Shuwei held the brochure and picked out a few items, except for the gold ornaments, which were gem hairpins. He Dongting frowned slightly, but he still bought them for him.

Soon a staff member came over with a small box, and He Shuwei couldn't sit still after taking the jewelry, so He Dongting waved his hand and let him go out.

Master Jiu glanced at it, and He Dongting pinched the center of his eyebrows, and said helplessly: "The dog is playful, let him go."

Master Jiu looked at Bai Mingyu who was sitting blankly by the side, and said to him, "Go out too, don't go too far."

Just as Bai Mingyu was about to agree, he suddenly heard He Dongting talk about the newly opened nightclub, and immediately regained his energy, and sat aside, refusing to leave.

Master Jiu looked at him, and Bai Mingyu said in a low voice, "Master, I will stay here to serve you."

Xiao Xie is not here, so he has to watch for Xiao Xie. Hearing about Paramount and Cirrus is exciting.

Bai Mingyu looked at the brochure in his hand with piercing eyes, and pricked up his ears to listen hard.

He Dongting didn't know Bai Jiu very well, he only thought that he likes to be lively at his age, and invited: "If you are interested in dance parties, I can have someone take you to drink some wine, there are a few people in my family who are about your age Junior, maybe you can get along."

Master Jiu shook his head and said, "I'm not used to going to those occasions, and I can't let go."

He Dongting smiled lightly: "I heard that you came back from overseas, but you are very conservative."

Master Jiu: "There are strict rules at home."

He Dongting: "Really, what hobbies do you have on weekdays?"

"Xi Jing."

He Dongting laughed, this man looked young, but his tone of voice was old-fashioned.

He Dongting was quite good at talking, and he chatted very kindly. He sat there and chatted with Master Jiu about the family affairs: "Just now, did you buy that little bowl for the children at home?"

Master Jiu nodded and said, "Yes, the pattern on it looks pretty good, and the size is suitable."

He Dongting found out that there was a lot of talking about this baijiu, so he also talked about raising children. The two exchanged experiences with each other, and they were very happy.

Talking about his son, He Dongting shook his head and sighed: "I'm ashamed to say that that child was spoiled by me. He's not in good health. He suffered from some illnesses when he was young. He won't be willing to let him go out to suffer for a while."

Master Jiu put down his cup, and said slowly: "My family is not bad, with excellent grades and studies, can ride and shoot, and can speak foreign language."

He Dongting asked: "Oh? But you specially invited a teacher?"

Master Jiu said softly, "No, but I have learned from me for a while, and some German engineers in the winery have learned a few words randomly, and I can barely have a conversation."

"You are well educated."

"It's just him."

As Master Jiu said, he took another pair of blue and white porcelain vases.

It's a pity that it was from the Xuande period, with a slight iron color and a dull color.

Master Jiu sighed in his heart, these are not as good as the few ones kept at home, but they are better than nothing.

He Dongting shook his head and said with a smile: "You also bought too much. Others don't know it, and they think you have opened a porcelain shop."

Master Jiu said: "That child has always been honest and responsible by my side, it's rare that he likes something, and he's not sure when he buys it, it's ridiculous."

Bai Mingyu had a strange expression on his face, no matter how he heard it, he felt that Master Jiu was talking about Xiao Xie.

Sitting there, Bai Mingyu only heard the word "Xia Lesi", and heard nothing else, and was shown a face - although Master Jiu didn't mention a word of Xiao Xie, but every sentence was the shadow of Xiao Xie.After listening for a while, Bai Mingyu couldn't sit still any longer, so he found an excuse to go out and take a few steps to catch his breath.

In the lobby outside, He Shuwei was talking and laughing with a few friends with a young girl, who coaxed her into trembling laughter.

Bai Mingyu couldn't get used to a group of old foxes inside, but he didn't want to talk to a bunch of idiots outside. These people didn't understand anything, and when they got together, they only knew about clothes and women, which had no meaning at all.

Bai Mingyu added in his heart, it's not as good as Xiao Xie, although Xiao Xie's chess skills are not as good as him, but he can still ride a horse and shoot a gun to hunt rabbits, these idiots know nothing.

He Shuwei also saw him, and greeted him first. It's not good for Bai Mingyu to make things difficult for Master Jiu here, so he can only walk over.

He Shuwei introduced him to the people around him, and said in a gentle voice, "This is the Second Young Master Bai from the Northland, Bai Mingyu."

The people around offered red wine to him, and soon other people pressed their wrists, and said with a smile: "I'm afraid the customs in the Northland are different from ours, maybe you have to drink white wine, Second Young Master Bai, I heard that wine is brewed in your family." Can you recommend any good wine, we also want to change our taste recently." He was right, but his tone was a bit condescending.

Bai Mingyu said lazily: "Beidi wine is strong, I'm afraid you will die from drinking it."

The man who asked the question didn't look very good.

Bai Mingyu looked at him, and said again: "Really, I won't lie to you."

After a moment of silence, the girl who was sitting next to He Shuwei let out a chuckle, half-hid her smile with a fan, looked at Bai Mingyu with smiling eyes and said, "You are really interesting, hey , so you people from the north can't drink wine yourself?"

Bai Mingyu said: "Of course I can drink. We are tall and strong, which is different from everyone here."

After saying this sentence, the faces of the young men present were not very good.

He Shuwei is soft-tempered, even smiled, coughed and said: "I also envy the physical fitness of the people in Beidi. I always have small problems on weekdays, and it is really incomparable."

The fashionable girl didn't seem to notice the tense atmosphere, she was still looking at Bai Mingyu: "Are all the people in the North as tall as you? Can I touch your arm, I haven't seen you like this before."

Bai Mingyu said with a dark face, "I've never seen you like this before, is it plausible? You, the family didn't tell you whether men and women can kiss each other?" He had never seen such a frivolous one, without any femininity at all.

The girl's face darkened, she snorted, and turned her head to ignore him.

The person who was the first to ask a question sat there with his legs crossed, and said, "I don't know that Beidi's wine is so powerful. I really need to experience it some other day." When he was talking, he kept staring at Bai Mingyu with dark eyes. Measured.

Bai Mingyu is very tired of such a person, who is usually praised by a group of people there, and he can hold grudges even if he is stabbed.

He Shuwei persuaded him a few words, but Bai Er had already seen this young master He in the box just now, and he didn't dare to fart in front of He Dongting, he was respectful.Bai Mingyu's impression of him was even worse, he couldn't even get mad, he only knew that he was a worthless coward who begged for money from Lao Tzu for food, drink and entertainment.It's not as good as a group of cronies around me, who dare to pick things up anyway!

Bai Erbai Mingyu couldn't talk to them anywhere, sitting there felt uncomfortable, so he simply stood up and pulled his collar: "It's getting hot, I'll go sit in the pavilion outside, excuse me."

When he got up, his clothes were loose, he accidentally touched the jade pendant he was wearing, and quickly stretched out his hand to protect it.

Someone on the opposite side sneered, "You bumpkin, who still wears this now?"

Bai Mingyu's jade pendant was given by Lord Jiu, and it was too late to cherish it on weekdays. He was immediately angry when he heard this, and before he could speak, he suddenly heard someone behind him say: "Oh, I didn't know that Pei Yu was going to be made fun of. Your habits are really different from mine in the North."

The girl sitting there's eyes fell on the person who walked over, and they immediately lit up, with a shy blush on her face.

Xie Jing walked behind Bai Mingyu, with black hair and black eyes, with a slightly cool look. He held an umbrella in his hand, and raindrops fell along the ribs of the umbrella, splashing tiny drops of water.

Bai Mingyu said in surprise, "Why are you here?"

Xie Jing said: "It's raining, and Manager Sun Fu said that Master Jiu went out in a hurry and didn't bring an umbrella. I'll bring an umbrella to Master."

Xie Jing has a handsome appearance, and her voice is like the sound of jade. The girl sitting opposite her body becomes numb after only a few words. She couldn't help but ask shyly, "Who is this?"

Bai Mingyu took the lead and said, "My brother."

Those gangsters couldn't be picky about Xie Jing's appearance, they could only pick about his clothes, someone snorted and said, "Another bumpkin."

Xie Jing glanced at the jade pendant on Bai Mingyu's waist, looked up at the pocket watch and top hat he was wearing, and said, "A gentleman in ancient times must wear jade, and a gentleman does not wear jade for no reason. Do you know the reason?"

"But it is--"

Xie Jing didn't intend to let the other party talk, and cut off: "It's because jade has the virtue of a gentleman. The color of jade is warm and lustrous, which is for 'benevolence', and the body of jade is dense and firm, which is for 'wisdom'. The edge does not hurt the thing, it is for 'righteousness', the jade body is humble and humble, it is for 'ritual', the jade body does not cover up each other, it is for 'loyalty'... This is "Book of Rites Engagement" It’s recorded.” He glanced around and frowned slightly, “Why, haven’t you read the Book of Rites?”

Bai Mingyu was overjoyed: "Xiao Xie, stop talking, they haven't read this book."

Xie Jing nodded, suddenly said: "No wonder."

However, the word "plain" came out of his mouth, as if the person opposite had never read a book.

These words were even more irritating than what Bai Mingyu said just now. It was like pouring a spoonful of boiling oil on people's hearts. He was angry and anxious, but he couldn't think of any rebuttal words for a while.

He Shuwei said: "My friend, there's no need to say that. Now Mr. Huang Mingyou Huang also talks about 'promoting Western learning, saving the country and preserving it'..."

Xie Jing's eyes fell on him, and he said in a cold voice: "I didn't see that you are sitting here to save the country. I'm afraid Mr. Huang will be chilled if he sees it." I can't hold it anymore.

He Shuwei couldn't hold back the smile on his face.

The two Beidi people standing opposite were not willing to be soft and hard, and Bai Mingyu was very aggressive, not to mention, the newcomer was beautiful, but he was also a tough one. It sounded like he had read a lot, so it was the most difficult thing to deal with.

The fashionable girl sitting next to He Shuwei secretly glanced at Xie Jing from time to time. Xie Jing looked handsome, and she was prettier than the most popular movie star nowadays. The real person stood in front of her, with exquisite facial features, but The temperament is cold, with pines and snow, and lonely bamboos.When any girl saw it for the first time, she couldn't help but feel a frenzy in her heart. She peeked at it at first, but then stared at it blatantly, hoping that the other party could look at her for a while.

Xie Jing didn't look at her.

He Shuwei saw it, and frowned, and it took a long time for him to let go.

The tone in Bai Mingyu's heart was completely compliant, and he followed Xie Jing away happily, talking to him in a low voice as he walked, trying to coax him back: "Xiao Xie, you don't know how many women here are winking at Lord Jiu. There are also many women at the meeting, much more powerful than the girl outside, breasts are breasts, butts are butts."

Xie Jing looked at him and said nothing.

Bai Mingyu made up there: "Really, I didn't lie to you."

It just so happened that the auction ended, Master Jiu came out with a group of people from the chamber of commerce, surrounded by middle-aged and elderly men in suits, leather shoes or robes, the only young ones were their attendants, who seemed to be in their thirties.Master Jiu was followed by Zhang Huwei, with an unshaven face, carefully guarding Master Jiu's side in the crowd.

Xie Jing looked at it for a while, then turned to look at Bai Mingyu, there was a woman here.

Bai Mingyu: "..."

Bai Mingyu made up for it and said, "Today is a special case, but usually there are quite a few." He couldn't hold on anymore, so he showed his cards and said, "Okay, I just want you to come and accompany Master Jiu... Well, come and stay with me, the head office will do it You’re not here these days, I’m too young to talk in front of you, and every time I’m asked to chat with the same youngsters, and after chatting a few times, my lungs are about to explode.”

Xie Jing thought for a while, and suggested: "Go back and read more, and be more tactful when you scold people."

Bai Mingyu didn't want to study, he just wanted to thank Jing for helping him piss people off.

Bai Mingyu: "I'm also afraid that you will fall out of favor, but are you fighting for it?"

Xie Jing: "Who am I fighting against?"

"..."

This is true, and now Xiao Xie is really the only one in charge.

Master Jiu came over and asked, "What are you talking about?"

Bai Mingyu was so frightened that he coughed and refused to let Xie Jing say anything. Xie Jing glanced at him, and Bai Mingyu turned his back to Master Jiu and gesticulated with him: "I treat you to dinner, mutton pot——"

Xie Jing smiled and said: "Second Young Master said some interesting things, Master, it's raining heavily outside, I'll take you back."

He accompanied Master Jiu to the door, held up the umbrella, and said in a low voice: "Master, slow down, be careful of the water."

He Dongting happened to pass by him, and when he heard the voice, he subconsciously turned around, but he didn't see the other person's face clearly, he only saw a figure, and when he wanted to take a closer look, the umbrella fell down, covering most of his face, only showing a delicate chin .

He Dongting watched, suddenly stunned.

He Shuwei came over and called out to his father respectfully.

He Dongting looked at the figure who held the umbrella for Bai Jiu, and for some reason, he felt a sense of familiarity in his heart, but he couldn't figure out the reason for it for a while, so he nodded and said, "Let's go."

Bai Mingyu followed behind and became an umbrella himself. He was completely immersed in the joy of Xie Jing's arrival. He usually felt that Xiao Xie was cunning, but when he was unanimous, he only felt happy.Bai Mingyu followed to the side of the car, and suddenly saw Master Jiu looking at him, subconsciously backed up, and got into the next car behind.

Master Jiu shook Xie Jing's hand in the car, scratched his palm twice with his slightly cold fingertips, and was quickly clenched.

Xie Jing warmed him with both hands, and asked in a low voice, "Is it cold, sir? I also brought a coat."

Master Jiu smiled and said, "It's not cold."

With big hands, he held Xie Jing's instead, and asked after a while: "How is the family, is grandma getting better?"

"It's great."

After a while, Master Jiu asked again: "Stay here for the night, why don't you leave?"

However, Xie Jing's ears felt hot when he heard the ordinary sentence, and he said calmly: "Well, I will keep watch for the master."

Master Jiu was in a good mood, rubbed the back of his hand, and said slowly: "What do you want to eat tonight?"

Xie Jing thought for a while, then laughed again: "Second Young Master said to invite me to eat mutton pot."

Master Jiu nodded and said, "Okay, then eat this."

Dinner at night was different from Bai Mingyu's idea. Master Jiu sent someone to invite the most famous chef in Fushunlou to bring a piece of mutton. In a brand new copper pot, the beef, mutton, and various vegetables and mushrooms were neatly arranged on the plate, and the next person served it. It was the first time he ate "restaurant" at his own home.

When Master Jiu took his seat, Bai Mingyu was stunned for a moment: "Does Master also eat together?"

Master Jiu said softly, "Why, I can't eat it?"

"No, no, of course not." Bai Mingyu sat down and poured a glass of wine for Master Jiu, but when he wanted to drink himself, Master Jiu stopped him and told him, "You have to go to the factory tomorrow, so you shouldn't drink alcohol. , eat more vegetables."

Bai Mingyu agreed.

As soon as he sat down, he saw Steward Sun Fu coming over with a small pot of hot wine and poured a small cup for Xie Jing.

Master Jiu just watched and didn't stop him.

Bai Mingyu's nose is sharp, and he smelled it when he moved slightly, and he said with a groan, "That's why I came from my hometown..." His eyes met Master Jiu's, and the words on the edge of his mouth abruptly turned Son, "I specially brought wine for Xiao Jing Ye."

Master Jiu said: "I have a heart."

The wines brought from Heihe are different, especially Bai Mingyu, which is a treasured wine selected by the family, Qinghe Baijia may not have a few jars, he is greedy when he smells it, and eats the mutton in his mouth It’s not so fragrant anymore, if a mouthful of plump and tender mutton dipped in sauce is paired with a mouthful of shochu—whether it’s cold or hot, it’s scalding in the throat, then the taste is delicious.

After eating the mutton pot, Bai Mingyu was sent back early.

The next morning, Bai Mingyu came to greet Master Jiu, but Master Jiu answered through the door and gave him some instructions, but he didn't show up.Second Young Master Bai didn't understand it at first, and when he got downstairs, he asked Sun Fu where Xie Jing was, but Sun Fu smiled and said, "Xiao Xie is busy."

Bai Mingyu muttered, what is there to be busy in the mansion.

When I got into the car, I suddenly realized that I couldn't lift my head with my blushing covered.

Ahhhh—Xiao Xie is so shameless!He hooked up with Master to do such and such things in broad daylight! !

Bai Mingyu was mad and envious at the same time, he even wondered if he could be like Xie Jing after getting married, could blatantly do such an insulting thing, and he didn't know if his aunt would like to spoil him like Master Jiu .
