readx; When Chen Zhong heard Huang Jinrong's name, he suddenly raised his head and looked at Lin Meiniang, and said, "What, do you know him?" ”

"Childe, don't think about it, I don't know him well, it's a cousin of mine who has a good relationship with him. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info [Burning ^ Wen ^ Library]" Lin Meiniang was worried that Chen Zhong had thought of going somewhere else, so she hurriedly explained.

"Your cousin?"

"Yes, my cousin's name is Shang Xinlan, and she is a Peking Opera Kunling, and Huang Jinrong likes her very much."

It turned out that this Shang Xinlan was the adopted daughter of Liu Yang, the translator of the patrol house of the French Concession. Liu Yang is a native of Suzhou, and Huang Jinrong is a fellow villager, and in his early years, he took refuge under Huang Jinrong's door and ate together.

When Shang Xinlan was very young, she often walked around the Huang Mansion with her adoptive father, and Huang Jinrong liked her very much. A few years later, Shang Xinlan was slim and graceful.

So, Huang Jinrong was moved by this young girl and decided to make Shang Xinlan popular. Soon, under the influence of Huang Jinrong's spending of money, Shang Xinlan became popular all over Shanghai, and in the following days, she also earned enough money for Huang Jinrong.

Chen Zhong didn't know much about this period of history, and in his impression, there was a Peking Opera Kun Ling named Lu Lanchun in history who later married Huang Jinrong.

Therefore, of course Chen Zhong didn't know about the famous Peking Opera singer Shang Xinlan that Lin Meiniang said, but there was nothing surprising about it. Because Huang Jinrong himself likes to listen to dramas, there should be more romances between these tycoons and celebrities.

There are still too many unknown secrets in this world, which have disappeared silently in the long river of history, and perhaps future generations will never be able to find its traces in the historical materials.

Chen Zhong thought, the Hainan fleet has not yet arrived in Shanghai, and Song Qiaohui has not come to handle the bank's affairs, so there is no major event today, and it is okay to get acquainted with Huang Jinrong.

Huang Jinrong is a native of Suzhou. In his early years, he made a career in Suzhou with his own ability and courage. Before Huang Jinrong broke into Suzhou, he served as a third-class patrol in the Shanghai Concession, which was the kind of role used by foreigners in the French Concession to "inquire about the situation" and assist those foreigners in managing the affairs of the concession.

By chance, a consul from the French Concession in Shanghai was visiting Suzhou, and the Suzhou Chamber of Commerce entertained this Frenchman named Adolf, and Huang Jinrong happened to be present.

As soon as Adolf saw Huang Jinrong, he admired him very much and strongly invited him to Shanghai as a Chinese detective. As soon as Huang Jinrong took office in Shanghai, he attracted the support of the Chinese in the Shanghai Concession at that time.

Because, in the Shanghai Concession at that time, the Chinese had always been dissatisfied with the patrols of Indian Ah San and Annam. This time, the Chinese inspector came, and they were naturally happy. Huang Jinrong thus became the leading figure in Shanghai, and under the management of his wife Lin Guisheng, the Huang family became more and more prosperous.

Chen Zhong thought of this, so he asked Lin Meiniang: "Meiniang, you said that Huang Jinrong had a banquet for the French consul at the Modu Hotel tonight?" ”

"Yes, Huang Jinrong invited many celebrities in Shanghai. I thought, this is a good opportunity, so I'll come and tell you, you haven't waited for people to finish speaking, so you came here in a hurry, you big pervert! Lin Meiniang snuggled up in Chen Zhong's arms and murmured.

"My Mei Niang is so tempting, of course I am like a hungry wolf when I see you." Chen Zhong playfully buried his head in Lin Meiniang's chest, he believed that the Meiniang in front of him was Lin Xiaowan back then, and all his gestures and expressions were almost a person.

"Okay, Childe, don't make any more trouble, do you want to go with me?" Lin Meiniang gently pushed Chen Zhongdao away.

"Okay, I'll accompany our Xiaowan to meet this Shanghai tycoon." Chen Zhong picked up Lin Meiniang and kissed him wildly, and there was another * somersault, scoring twice.

At eight o'clock in the evening, the Shanghai Magic City Hotel is brightly lit and celebrities gather. Huang Jinrong invited celebrities from all walks of life tonight, in fact, just to make Pomeranians laugh, a dance party specially held for Shang Xinlan.

He wanted to win the red Shang Xinlan, so he did not hesitate to spend a lot of money. Because, at that time, Shang Xinlan was not a role in the entertainment industry in Shanghai, so Huang Jinrong used his influence and swaying his daughter to promote this small Peking Opera Kunling.

Of course, as Shang Xinlan's cousin and the famous courtesan Lin Meiniang, she naturally received high courtesy.

Lin Meiniang led Chen Zhong to Huang Jinrong's side on the second floor and said, "Boss Huang, I wanted to visit you for a long time, but you are busy with affairs and have no chance." ”

Huang Jinrong had also met Lin Meiniang a few times, and he was not too familiar. So, Shang Xinlan hurriedly said: "Brother Rong, this is cousin Lin Meiniang, and this is little cousin Chen Zhong." ”

Before coming to the ball, Lin Meiniang had mentioned this matter to this cousin and wanted to introduce Chen Zhong to Huang Jinrong.

Huang Jinrong just talked to them politely, and then chatted with Adolf, the consul of the French Concession next to him. Mr. Chen did not disclose his identity. Lin Meiniang was a little unhappy, because this Huang Jinrong snubbed her beloved man.

In the lobby of the Magic City Hotel, colorful lights are lit up, and almost all of Shanghai's celebrities gather at the venue tonight.

The businessmen and tycoons present all walked into the center of the dance floor with their dance partners, and a familiar and elegant dance music permeated the scene.

Everyone reveled in their joy, and the lights turned into pale yellow beams of light that surrounded a young man and a woman in the very center of the dance floor.

The man was dressed in a white suit, embellished with a red rose on his chest, and his tall figure made him look elegant and noble.

The woman was dressed in a beige bandeau gown, her skin was snow-white, and the gown set off the perfect curves of her body so charmingly.

Everyone's eyes moved with their dance, and their dance steps were full of fanfare.

The man's sword-like face had an arrogant and handsome smile, leaving infinite reverie for all the women present.

With a slight turn, the woman naturally fell into the man's arms, the man raised his hand again, and the woman was pulled back into the man's arms after two turns.

The woman's left foot was raised high, one hand was pulled by the man, and the two looked at each other affectionately, looking at each other for a thousand years, drunk in time and space.

When the intoxicating music ended, the whole dance hall burst into applause...... The man took the woman's hand and walked to his seat, and the crowd had not yet awakened from their beautiful dance.

Chen Zhong and Lin Meiniang's energetic dance activated the audience, and also let everyone know a pair of dazzling handsome men and women.

Just when they were intoxicated with the dance to their heart's content, a French girl was looking at Chen Zhong infatuatedly.

On the stage of the hall, the Western band played a bold and rugged Spanish dance music. The red, blue, yellow, green, and purple electric lamps swayed in the fragrant wind, like countless intertwined rainbows.

The skirt floated, the cheongsam waved, the shirt was blown up by the wind, the heel of the leather shoes sounded with a crisp sound, the lights in the night of the magic capital bloomed in front of me, and there was a starry light under my feet......

Chen Zhong picked up a glass of French red wine and looked at Lin Meiniang, who was soaked in sweat, under the flickering lights, she was very charming and charming.

At this time, Chen Zhong heard the conversation between Huang Jinrong and Adolf not far away. I learned that they were having a headache over the "pig stripping" in the French Concession.

Chen Zhong smiled faintly. I'll help you solve it! Thinking of this, Chen Zhong picked up his wine glass and walked over.
