Chapter 43: Taipei VIII
"You're so powerful, you didn't just invite Director Song." Zhang Aijia listened to Song Chuyu say a long ribbon-cutting speech, and spoke softly to Shen Chong: "I also invited a national treasure-level master." β
"Your grandfather is great, not me." Shen Chong tilted his head sideways and said in her ear, "It's so beautiful."
"You chose this dress, right?" Zhang Aijia was a little unnatural, she grabbed the hem of her clothes and said: "If my grandfather prepared it, it would definitely be a cheongsam, and it would never be this kind of red Western-style dress, it was too exaggerated, and the people around me looked at me like a monster." β
"You're not a monster, you're an elf." Shen Chong applauded with everyone and said, "Charming female goblin. β
Zhang Aijia pursed her lips and glanced at him, under the background of the dress, the style was infinite.
Among the several ribbon-cutting guests, only Song Chuyu is a serious government figure, the most suitable for officialdom articles, after he finished the congratulatory speech, the emcee Jiang Guang came to the stage, announcing that the auspicious time had arrived, and the ribbon-cutting ceremony began.
The crowd in the hall, arranged by the waiter, began to walk along the revolving glass door towards the square outside the theater, where a columnar building covered with red silk was erected, on which the name of the theater was inscribed.
In the bustle, all kinds of words, like the wind, fluttered around and flew into Shen Chong's ears.
"Why didn't Master Zhang come out?"
"Zhang Daqian gave Jiang Gongzi face, Shen Chong...... Hey, how can you invite his old man to come out and cut the ribbon in person. β
"That's right."
"But it's also a skill to be able to invite Jiang Sangongzi."
"The third prince is in business, the idle prince, he can invite if he has money, and the second prince is the prince."
"That's Zhang Aijia? It's not good. β
"It's just that she doesn't look as good as me in such gorgeous clothes, you look at her, she doesn't even have an ornament.
"Hey, that's it, I don't know how to dress up at all, where do you say Shen Chong has taken a fancy to her?"
"It's going to confuse people, you look at her like that, it's like a peacock opening the screen, cut."
After all, Zhang Aijia is still in her twenties at this time, and she is far from reaching the harmonious realm of being pampered and humiliated in later generations, and she only gritted her teeth angrily.
"Calm." Shen Chong smiled and comforted and asked, "Is it cold?" β
"It's fine." Zhang Aijia touched her smooth arm and said, "Fortunately, it's a sunny day, there is sunshine, and it's quite comfortable to bask in." β
The temperature in Taipei in February is already quite pleasant, the auspicious time is around half past ten, in the windless and cloudless sun, almost 20 degrees, wearing a dress is not cold.
Shen Chong stretched out his arm, asked her to hold it, posed a few times, and after letting the reporter take pictures, he walked towards the ribbon-cutting place and said: "Wind and rumors, it's not worth mentioning in the sun, you see, I'm not angry." β
"You're not rude." It is a woman's nature to love to dress up, Zhang Aijia, who is usually indifferent, is also a little entangled at this time, she stroked her collarbone with her hand and asked: "I don't wear accessories, will it be ugly?" β
Shen Chong shook his head, then separated from her, each standing in front of a big red flower.
The ribbon-cutting ceremony was designed in a special way, between the cylinder and the gate, a red ribbon was pulled with seven red flowers on it, and when the seven red flowers were cut, the red silk would automatically fall from both sides, revealing the name of the theater.
These seven red flowers, Jiang Xiaoyong, Song Chuyu, Wei Jingmeng, Shen Chong, and Zhang Aijia are each responsible for one, and the remaining two, one is in charge of Zhang Daqian's disciples, and the other is in charge of a ten-year-old girl - the fourth generation of the Jiang family, Jiang Jingguo's granddaughter Jiang Youmei, she was brought by Jiang Xiaoyong to play.
Zhang Daqian is very old, his health is not good, and he has eye diseases, so he sent a disciple to do it for him, and he did not come out to cut the ribbon in person, but as Shen Chong said, it is an honor for him to come.
Jiang Youmei is the only daughter of Jiang Xiaowen and Xu Naijin, the eldest son of the Jiang family, raised by Jiang Jingguo and Jiang Fangliang since childhood, when she was 7 years old, Jiang Xiaowen suddenly fell into a coma due to hereditary diabetes and alcoholism, and since then she has been bedridden and has no father's love, so she is favored by everyone in the Jiang family, and is the first lady in Taiwan.
When Jiang Guang announced that the auspicious time had arrived and the ribbon-cutting began, the seven people moved in unison, cutting the ribbon, and the curtain slowly slid down, revealing the name of the theater.
"Jiajia Performing Arts Cultural Center"

In the bright sunshine, in the uproar, under the words of the dragon flying and the phoenix dancing, Zhang Aijia turned her head to look back, as if the spring water of the whole world was rippling in her eyes.
"You've been so nice to me." Zhang Aijia hugged Shen Chong tightly and murmured, "What should I do?
"Be my woman." Shen Chong kissed her forehead and said, "It's as simple as that to be a happy woman. β
Zhang Aijia let go of him, looked at him, then held his face and kissed him.
"Alright, alright, otherwise, I'm going to be a hooligan again." After a long time, Shen Chong stroked her head and said, "Let's go, there is still something to do outside." β
"But the way I am now, where can I go out and meet people."
"White and red, different." Shen Chong flicked her cheek lightly and said, "Now the eyes of those women outside are all red and red, and they can't tell whether this is rouge or crimson. β
"Nasty ghost" Zhang Aijia looked at him sideways, then stood up, motioned him to get up, helped him tidy up his clothes very gently, and said, "You go out first, don't be seen." β
"What if you see it, anyway, everyone knows that you and I are a pair of mandarin ducks." Shen Chong kissed her with a flower on his mouth, then gently opened the door, looked left and right, and then Shi Shiran walked out of the changing room.
In the eyes of ordinary people, it is a new landmark in Taipei, in the eyes of artists, it is a cultural mecca, in the eyes of Zhang Aijia, it is a gift from a lover, and in the eyes of Wei Jingmeng, it is a vote of interests, as for what Shen Chong thinks, he himself is not clear......
Wei Jingmeng was a confidant of Chiang Kai-shek and Chiang Ching-kuo, father and son, who had been running the media for 50 or 60 years, and had participated in the construction of Taiwan's print media, television and film almost all the time.
However, he has no son, no successor, and his son-in-law died young, so he was discouraged in his later years, indulging in lust, in addition to the beautiful lady raised at home, there are many other women outside, and he is a famous love saint in Taiwan
Shen Chong is a young man, far-sighted, well-earned, tactful, extremely interested in the media, and deeply rooted in his love for his granddaughter, he is the perfect successor, so Wei Jingmeng moved his mind to pass on the mantle.
But Shen Chong's main business is in Hong Kong, he has a close relationship with the mainland, and he has never talked about marriage with Zhang Aijia, which makes him very insecure, so in August, after the two met, he went straight to the bottom and proposed that Shen Chong leave a family business in Taipei.
Shen Chong didn't say a word, and the next day he handed him the title deed and the check for the theater's construction budget - the title deed of Da'an District, worth $50,000, and the theater's construction budget was as high as $10,000.
This kind of attitude and sincerity made Wei Jingmeng feel great, and Shen Chong really entered the top of Taiwanese society and became one of the players.
The opening of the theater today is the ultimate purpose of Shen Chong's visit to Taipei, but not to cut the ribbon, but for a long-scheduled auction, an auction related to interests.
Outside the gallery area on the fourth floor, after being inspected, a uniformed and white-gloved security guard handed over a sealed Wen JiΓ n bag.
"Mr. Shen, this is your number identification."
"Thank you."
Shen Chong opened the bag, looked at the contents, and then gave it back to him, the man took it, put it into the shredder next to him, and after Wen JiΓ n completely destroyed it, he said, "Mr. Shen, you can go in." β
Walking into the gallery, I took Zhang Aijia to visit the time and space in different mornings, full of watercolor, ink, oil painting, sketches and other works of different styles and sizes, and there were only two or three guests who visited, old and young, each silent, looking at the painting without saying a word, ignoring Shen Chong.
Shen Chong walked around the gallery leisurely, pretending to admire a few paintings, and after remembering their numbers, he turned around and left.
Back on the first floor, the atmosphere of the reception at this time was at the same time, all kinds of people were staggered, talking, and seeing Shen Chong, he was even more enthusiastic.
"Zhou Youwang is a beautiful woman in the Beacon Fire Opera, Emperor Tang Ming sent lychees thousands of miles, Mr. Shen, what you did today, don't let the ancients, amazing, amazing"
"Indeed, indeed, Mr. Shen let us see what it means to be a daughter today, generous and generous enough."
"Don't dare, don't dare, I'm still far behind the ancient love saint."
"Mr. Shen, hello, my name is Chen Meimei, and my uncle is Chen ......"
"Mr. Shen, I'm a ...... of Superstar Film Company"
Shen Chong held the wine glass, circled left and right, and circled for a long time before he found Zhang Aijia, who was surrounded by a group of warblers and swallows.
"Where did you go?" Zhang Aijia immediately stepped forward, grabbed his arm, and said, "There are many sisters here who want to know you. β
"Really?" Shen Chong casually put the wine glass aside, and said with a smile: "It seems that my peach blossom luck has finally come." β
