Chapter 38: Paramount Ballroom
Standing in front of the gate of the Paramount Ballroom, Zhang Xuewu still hesitated slightly, Zhang Xuewu regretted why he wore a military uniform today, the mountains and rivers were broken, the people were devastated, as a soldier, he didn't think about fighting again, washed away the shame with blood, but went in and out of such a luxurious place to kill his fighting spirit?
Looking at the high-ranking officers who were entering and leaving unscrupulously, Zhang Xuewu almost turned around and left angrily, but Maitlin on the side grabbed Zhang Xuewu and said in half-baked Chinese: "Zhang, you must not leave, otherwise Miss Mary will be angry, she will be angry, and she will not introduce beautiful girls to us, understand?" ”
Zhang Xuewu shrugged his shoulders helplessly at several instructors who surrounded him and said in German: "Okay! My dear friends, but please remember that this is not the case, my country is under the aggression of the enemy, and it is better for me to come less or not to come on this occasion as a soldier! ”
This is an agreement between Zhang Xuewu and the German consultant, that is, the German consultant must speak Chinese to Zhang Xuewu, and Zhang Xuewu speaks German, which is an excellent practice process for both parties, it can be said that through the contact with the German affairs consultant, Zhang Xuewu's German level has improved rapidly, especially in terms of professional technology and military terms, Zhang Xuewu's German dictation ability is almost a leap to improve.
Zhang Xuewu took off the military uniform on his upper body, took off the military hat and folded it a few times, hugged it in his arms, and entered the Paramount Ballroom together, Zhang Xuewu didn't notice at all that behind him there was a flower girl with a flower basket watching not far away!
Li Han saw a silhouette that was very familiar to her and she couldn't forget, she was even completely sure that it was the benefactor who saved their mother and daughter, and afterwards she asked people to inquire in many ways, only to know that the benefactor's name was Zhang Xuewu, and he was the cousin of the young marshal Zhang Xueliang! The benefactor left a large sum of money for their mother and daughter before leaving, and told them that Beiping was not happy, and it offended Wang Bancheng, so the mother and daughter came to Nanjing and bought a small courtyard.
Li Han didn't expect to see his benefactor in Nanjing, but the neon lights of the Paramount Grand Ballroom made the little girl stop and sigh! Obviously, this is not a place for little girls dressed in patched cloth clothes, and the ladies and courtesans who enter and exit are all wearing dresses or cheongsams with curly hair, and wearing high heels with white legs exposed.
Li Han gritted his teeth and looked at the door for a while, but was driven aside by the doorman, and was about to leave, when he suddenly heard a very gentle and lazy voice on the side: "A red rose as usual!" ”
Li Han turned around and was stunned for a moment: "Sir, it's you!" ”
So I hurriedly selected from the flower basket for a while, and then I was a little sorry: "Sir, this is it!" The war in Shanghai and the flower ships are unloaded at the mouth of the Sanjiang River, and today it was delayed, so the flowers are not as fresh as yesterday! ”
The young man in the white suit smiled slightly and said, "Little sister, you are more delicate than a flower!" Hehe! ”
Li Han blushed and said: "Sir, don't take lightly my hard-working little woman, otherwise your celebrities will all come to me, and the little woman will still sell flowers here to make a living!" ”
The young man looked at the two girls beside him and smiled casually: "They don't dare, although this place in Nanjing is Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, but ordinary people still want to give me Shen Haopeng three points of face!" ”
Shen Haopeng? Li Han tilted his head, obviously he had never heard of such a person, and a young lady beside Shen Haopeng said disdainfully: "It's really a bun from the countryside, this is the second son of the Shen family, the young owner of the Wanguo Bank, the largest bank in Shanghai since the opening of the port, headquartered in the United States, if it is not a war, it is your blessing to see it." ”
Although Li Han has never enjoyed the luxury and dignity of Zhenzhen Gege, he has always heard people say that the children who live nearby are willing to respect her as Gege, no matter how big or small, Li Han can't stand this feeling of superiority, so he said lightly: "That's the little woman who has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, so I won't disturb your Yaxing!" ”
After saying that, Li Han turned around and was about to leave, Shen Haopeng immediately snorted very unhappily and said, "Where is there a place for you to interject when Young Master Ben speaks?" ”
Shen Haopeng took two quick steps to stop Li Han and smiled slightly: "Look at your appearance, you want to go in and find someone, right?" Do you want me to help? ”
Li Han glanced at Shen Haopeng, and said expressionlessly: "It's okay to help, but the premise is that you are voluntary and have nothing to do with me, and I won't receive any favor from you after this matter, what do you think?" ”
Shen Haopeng was slightly stunned, and said helplessly: "What a sharp-toothed flower girl, okay!" I'll help you once today! ”
With Shen Haopeng in nature, no one dares to stop Li Han anymore, and the doorman at the door is not a fool, the young master of the Shen family must buy a flower here every day, almost rain or shine, sometimes give US dollars, sometimes give Xianyang, and one is a handful, so that the welcome manager of the Paramount Grand Ballroom almost wants to change his career to sell flowers, and Shen Haopeng's idea is simply Sima Zhao's heart, everyone knows.
But tonight, Shen Haopeng was very curious, this Nizi was originally very disdainful of people who went in and out of this kind of place, how did she change her surname today? Who the hell is she looking for? Shen Haopeng helped Li Han out of satisfying his curiosity.
In fact, when Shen Haopeng first met Li Han, he was attracted by her aura, what is Nanjing? The mausoleum of the prime minister of the capital of the Republic of China's political axe is located, and Li Han's family has fallen when he was born, but her mother Li Yunfang has been a person who has enjoyed the glory and wealth of the people, and is also the master who is proficient in all kinds of books, chess, calligraphy and painting, and educates Li Han naturally according to the set when she was a child!
However, Li Hantian's surname is stubborn and active, and he failed to become a lady, but over time, he has also been contaminated with some of his mother's temperament and manners, which are what fascinates Shen Haopeng the most.
After entering the dance hall, Li Han was stunned in place in the melodious dance music, it turned out that there were hundreds of pairs of men and women hugging each other on the big dance floor? On the stage, a woman in an almost transparent cheongsam is singing night primrose in a greasy voice! Seeing this scene, Li Han stomped his foot and scolded the fox spirit in a low voice.
Looking at the flow of people upstairs and downstairs, coupled with the flickering lights, Li Han still regretted a little, he shouldn't have come in, wouldn't it be over waiting outside the door? Besides, what should I say when I see my benefactor?
Li Han remembered Zhang Xuewu's fierce expression when he rolled up his sleeves to punish Wang Bancheng, and when he thought of Zhang Xuewu's distorted expression, Li Han couldn't help but want to laugh.
Li Han's slight smile from the bottom of his heart can be described as beautiful and beautiful, as charming as a blooming peony, even Shen Haopeng, a veteran of the love field who shuttles among the flowers, was stunned for a while!
Shen Haopeng realized that he was a little out of shape after a while, and looked at the two female companions beside him who were pouting, Shen Haopeng said politely to Li Han: "Why don't you come and sit down with me first, eat a snack and drink some drinks, and I'll help you find it when the dance music stops?" ”
Li Han hesitated, and was indeed hungry, so he nodded lightly and said, "If I eat your snacks, then I won't charge you for your flowers tomorrow!" ”
Shen Haopeng made a gesture of please, Li Han had just walked by, and the three of them stopped, and one of them rubbed his eyes and said, "Impossible, right?" How could it be her? ”
