The Lu family's decision to send their grandchildren across the ocean to study is a decision made for the century-old continuation of the Lu family, and it is also to find a glimmer of life for the country.

Lu Sanye, whose full name is Lu Kunzheng, pinned on the grand ambitions of the Lu family, not only him, but the entire Lu family sent out more than 20 grandchildren, but as the eldest grandson of the main family, he naturally became the leader of this group of people.

Although he is the leader, Lu Kun was only thirteen or fourteen years old when he went to study in the ocean. When he actually left the land and set foot on the ocean-going land, everything was so incredible for him.

Studying abroad and learning advanced ideas, the more I realized that the old Chinese thought was stubborn and pedantic, and saving the country became a fool's dream, even if I learned, I only learned the work of a half-legged cat, and if I didn't choose to cure it radically, I would only be self-standard, Lu Kunzheng was very disappointed in his motherland, and the Lu family was also disappointed.

Since the establishment of the new national government, everything has changed again, the change of the system, the establishment of the new government, so that Lu Kunzheng has found a glimmer of hope. In response to the call, he resolutely returned to China, and with him, there were also a group of grandchildren of the Lu family, and began the road of "industry to save the country".

He first settled in Shanghai and opened a number of light industrial factories, which brought good economic benefits. Then he began to cooperate with the government to build infrastructure, donate money, and open roads. It can be said that one-tenth of the construction of the new look of Shanghai is due to him.

The business was booming, and Lu Sanye began to build entertainment facilities, building a Western-style restaurant and dance hall at the famous "Guifang" crossroads, with daily customers, extremely luxurious, hedonistic.

Lu Sanye was a young man who was unruly all his life, and there was never a woman who could tie him, but when he reached middle age, he was planted in the hands of a woman. A well-known celebrity in Shanghai, but also a courtesan under Lu Sanye, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a celebrity picked up by Lu Sanye.

Her name is Gui Xue, the daughter of a small landlord, but she went to Shanghai because of all kinds of things and became a third-rate song hall courtesan, with an indifferent and noble temperament, which is inviolable.

Gui Xue and Lu Sanye have an indissoluble bond, Lu Sanye saved Gui Xue by accident and fell in love with her, he was willing to do anything for Gui Xue. According to rumors, half of the reason why Lu Sanye opened a song and dance hall in "Guifang" was because of her. built a song and dance hall, Gui Sanye gave it to Gui Xue with pride, Gui Xue used a novel transaction method to make the entire song and dance hall popular all over Shanghai, and since then she has gained a firm foothold in Shanghai and become a celebrity in high society.

The whole Shanghai people know that Lu Sanye loves Gui Xue to the core, and Gui Xue is lukewarm to people, even for Lu Sanye. Gui Xue doesn't like Lu Sanye, which is also a well-known thing. After all, they have received advanced cultural education, and they can't do such a thing by force. So, every once in a while, the gossip in newspapers and magazines will eventually be written by reporters about how Lu Sanye made Miss Gui sad, but it turned out to be thankless, resulting in laughter and generosity, which is also an after-dinner conversation.

This is also the first day of the Lunar New Year, Lu Sanye wanted to surprise Miss Gui, and specially invited magic masters and acrobatic troupes from abroad, just to make the beauty smile. And in order to embody the superb memory of magic and acrobatics, he specially asked his men to go outside to "invite" a female beggar to cooperate with the performance.

As a result, there was a situation where Xiao Lan was taken to the dance hall, but he didn't know what the reason was.

On the third floor of the cabaret, there is a large stage on which stands a strangely dressed Westerner, a magician, and a troupe of acrobatic tools.

On the side of the stage, there are only five gorgeous tables and chairs, and only two people are seated in the center of the stage, one left and one right, a man and a woman.

Lu Sanye saw that Gui Xue didn't have much expectation on his face, he was also impatient, and wanted to call someone to urge, but when he turned his head, his subordinates just brought someone, a female beggar, dressed in tatters, dirty, and couldn't see her face clearly.

Lu Sanye didn't care who came at all, he just asked for a female beggar, and now that he came, the purpose was hit, his impatience was swept away, and he said with a smile: "Someone brought?"

Dogleg stepped forward and looked flattering: "Yes, Third Master, the person you want is here." After that, he turned his head again, glared at Xiao Lan, and motioned for her to hurry up.

Xiao Lan could suppress Lin Zhaodi's mood, but she didn't change from this magnificent scene, she was a little stunned and seemed to be cringe. waited until the dog leg reminded her that she hurriedly stepped forward.

But Lu Sanye waved his hand and refused: "Just stand there, you don't need to come over." He didn't want this female beggar to get too close to him, she smelled bad, and when she ran out, he gave him a little money, and he let her go.

Xiao Lan could feel the arrogance in Lu Sanye's eyes, she was brought by someone, and she had to be angry, she could only continue, at least she knew that her life was not in danger now.

"What do you want to do?" Gui Xue, who had been silent for a long time, saw Xiao Lan's appearance, and was reluctant to ask Lu Sanye what his purpose was.

Gui Xue was wearing a light-colored cheongsam, the green was like the green of lotus leaves mixed with tea, light and high-pressure, wearing a white half-length jacket, holding a hand stove to keep warm. The corners of his eyes are indifferent, not asking about the world, but also impatient.

Lu Sanye naturally didn't answer her question, drank the teacup and took it vaguely, and said with a smile: "You'll know later." "He bought a pass.

Since Lu Kunzheng said that, Gui Xue didn't bother to entangle, withdrew his gaze that fell on Xiao Lan, and ignored it anymore. did not show the slightest expectation of Lu Sanye's "surprise", she was always that indifferent, so Lu Sanye was fascinated.

The magician is ready, but the acrobatic troupe is still sorting out the tools, according to the arrangement, first the magician and then the acrobatic troupe.

So, Xiao Lan stood in place and was able to watch a whole free magic show, but the whole scene was extremely depressing, only a few people came to watch, and naturally not too many people applauded. Gui Xue didn't show much interest in everything, and her subordinates didn't applaud, only Lu Sanye was applauding alone, and there were doglegs echoing.

The magician took out all the housekeeping skills and ended the show as a finale. Lu Sanye chose to use magic to surprise Gui Xue, it was precisely because he was amazed by magic when he watched a magic show for the first time abroad that he wanted to share it with someone he liked.

But the result was not as he imagined, Gui Xue was still not interested.
