Hans was disappointed that he was not able to get Freon technology from Meihua in the end.

In the investigation of the printing and dyeing market in Shanghai, especially the widely used indigo, he found that the Meihua Chemical Company monopolized this market worth tens of millions of yuan, which shows that the Asian printing and dyeing market has broad prospects.

However, BASF's withdrawal from the joint venture is equivalent to giving up the Asian printing and dyeing market, which will be too difficult to enter in the future.

Like a piece of flesh being gouged out, Hans appeared at a banquet in Kadoorie Gardens with a sullen expression on his face. As for the huge fertilizer and gunpowder markets, without the support of the US-China consortium, BASF is unlikely to be able to achieve anything in Asia.

He didn't know that the Meihua laboratory was developing a highly effective broad-spectrum insecticide.

Hans is not the protagonist today, so his emotions are cheap and no one cares about him.

At this moment, there is a burst of sad music in the ears, and the rhythm of flamenco sweeps by, bringing a sad love story of the Iberian Peninsula, like crying and complaining, soothing the wounds of the soul.

This is Situ Nan's showtime, an acoustic guitar, a chair, a microphone in front of him, a white shirt with two buttons unbuttoned, light blue jeans, Converse sneakers, his eyes slightly closed, as if immersed in some past, only to see the clean and slender fingers like a magician's hand plucking the strings unhurriedly, and the beautiful and unique notes ripple like ripples in the empty hall made of marble in Kadoorie Garden, which is intoxicating.

Even the band behind Situ Nan sat quietly on the sidelines, quietly enjoying this very personal style performance.

He should be an artist more than a commercial one. Hans commented in his heart.

Many people feel the same way.

For example, Lu Xiaoman, who walked into Kadoorie Garden for the first time. Begin her on this palatial house. The artful architecture is full of curiosity. When I heard this song, I was deeply fascinated.

If it weren't for Wang Geng's prompt, she couldn't imagine that the gentle and clean man not far away actually had terrifying power, and such a big man would still have superb artistic attainments?

The art is the same, although I don't know much about Western music, I have never seen and heard the acoustic guitar, Lu Xiaoman is a good singer, and he can be regarded as a good voice of China, Lu Xiaoman has a special feeling when he listens to Situ Nan's music. I thought: Although others are in front of me, my heart is chasing the past time thousands of miles away with the wind.

Isn't freedom and romance and meticulous love exactly what you diligently pursue?

Lu Xiaoman sank into reverie, so that Wang Geng's eyes beside her stayed on her face for a long time without noticing.

After the song, Situ Nan withdrew from the faint sentimentality, raised his head, saw the surprised and appreciative eyes of the people around him, smiled slightly, stood up and held the acoustic guitar in his hand and said, "The song I played just now is called Sad Spain." The instrument I have in my hand is called the acoustic guitar, which originated in Spain. It is widely used in blues, jazz, flamenco and other music. It is hardly disseminated in China, but I believe that it will be a musical companion for young people in the future. ”

After speaking, he nodded to the audience, and smiled at a middle-aged violinist behind him: "It's your turn, my dear chief engineer." But Liang Zhu won't perform, just have a jasmine. ”

Situ Mengyan, the chief engineer of the Jiangnan Shipyard and a part-time violinist of the Kadoorie Garden Band, smiled and nodded in response, slowly walked to the microphone, and began to perform the tunes he learned from Situ Nan - I really don't know where Situ Nan got so many good tunes, but rarely show them.

Compared with Situ Nan, Situ Mengyan is much more famous in Shanghai, and many people know that the chief engineer of Jiangnan Shipyard loves music, and their family is obsessed with music.

"Could it be that people with the surname Situ are all musical wizards?" Seeing Situ Nan coming over, Wang Geng hurriedly brought his wife to meet him, and complimented him with a smile.

"Just by chance!"

Situ Nan smiled faintly and looked back at Situ Mengyan who was performing hard not far away, "That Mr. Situ is a rare bosom friend, and I appreciate his music. Of course, it would have been better if he had been as optimistic about the welding process and the sectional construction process as I did. ”

Situ Nan was talking about the shipyard, Wang Geng couldn't answer for a while, and seeing Situ Nan's eyes fall on Lu Xiaoman's face beside him, Wang Geng introduced: "My wife, Lu Xiaoman, likes to sing and paint, and loves to deal with cultural people. ”

"Xiao Man, Mr. Situ is unparalleled in talent, if he hadn't unintentionally publicized it, he would have been famous all over the world."

When introducing Situ Nan, Wang Geng praised him sincerely.

"Queen of Peking Campus, when I was in France, I heard Mr. Gu Weijun mention Miss Lu's good name, there are very few women like Miss Lu who have both wisdom and beauty, and I am very happy to see me today."

Situ Nan said with a smile, and took the initiative to reach out and shake hands with Lu Xiaoman, the pampered Mrs. Wang felt really good.

"Mr. Situ has an overreputation, how can the little talent of this little woman of mine be compared to you, the song you played just now is so good."

Lu Xiaoman said with a smile, she was very happy to hear Situ Nan praise her.

Queen of Peking Campus, that is her favorite title, and it is also the most brilliant and happy period, in the domestic social field at that time, Lu Xiaoman was the leader, and there is really no other woman who can compete with her.

She will not put the pride in her heart on her face, but she has a charming and reserved smile on her face, which looks decent and generous. Born in an official family, she understands that her fame is nothing in front of a mysterious big man like Situ Nan.

Situ Nan chatted with Lu Xiaoman for a few words, and found that this celebrity really has a bit of a temperament that makes people feel like a spring breeze, generous, cheerful and polite, coupled with her beauty and good background, such a woman can easily become the darling of the social field.

Before Lu Xiaoman, Situ Nan knew Lin Huiyin, who was in the prime of his life, and his temperament was more elegant and less kitsch, and he was not as popular as Lu Xiaoman in the circle of friends.

Interestingly, the talented girl Lin also came today, and with her was her newlywed husband Liang Gongzi.

"What are you talking about so happy? Mr. Szeto. Lin Huiyin walked up to Situ Nan and saw Wang Geng and his wife, and she said hello again. called "Senior Brother Wang". Hou smiled and said to Lu Xiaoman. "This must be Mrs. Wang's wife Lu Xiaoman, right? Hello, I am Lin Huiyin, and this is my husband Liang Sicheng. I've always heard my friends mention Mrs. Wang, and today I finally met her. ”

Liang Sicheng followed Lin Huiyin's side step by step, and politely greeted Situ Nan and Lu Xiaoman.

Wang Geng is Liang Qichao's apprentice, so the relationship between the two sides has always been not shallow, but a few years ago, Lin Hui studied abroad because of Liang Sicheng, and Wang Geng was busy with his career. The two sides haven't seen each other in years.

And Lu Xiaoman saw Lin Huiyin for the first time, and when she saw Lin Huiyin, she was a little surprised, and couldn't help but look at the woman in front of her who was almost as famous as herself, with short hair and plain clothes, a cotton shirt and simple jeans, this dress was monotonous and a little weird, on this occasion, shouldn't she wear a silk cheongsam to set off herself with a noble atmosphere?

In a social setting, Lu Xiaoman saw a woman in pants for the first time. Are all the people who come back from overseas like this?

Although Lu Xiaoman is fluent in French, he is also very good at diplomacy. But she has never stayed abroad, she has not really seen the outside world, and she doesn't understand the outside style very well, and most of the diplomatic etiquette she accepts comes from elegant French missionaries, and she doesn't understand the American-style "vulgar and realistic" style, so it is not surprising that Lin Huiyin feels a little strange.

If she doesn't linger in the so-called upper-class society and cultural celebrity salons in Shanghai and goes into the workplace to work hard, she will find that in today's Republic of China, the capable and durable, efficient denim and workwear styles have spread among the middle and lower classes of society and a small number of upper-class people.

Lin Huiyin didn't have the consciousness of being watched, and when he saw Lu Xiaoman's eyes on his clothes, he was surprised by his dress, and smiled embarrassedly: "Sicheng and I were arrested by Mr. Situ as soon as we came out of the office, and we didn't have time to change our clothes, which made Mrs. Wang laugh." ”

Liang Sicheng smiled and nodded, not very talkative.

"But Mr. Situ won't care, will he?" Lin Huiyin showed cute little tiger teeth in his smile, a little cunning, and led the topic to Situ Nan.

Turning his head, it turned out that Situ Nan's dressing style was the same as Lin Huiyin's, shirts and jeans, free and easy-going, which was a trend in the Meihua department.

Lin Huiyin studied in the United States, and after returning to China, she worked in a Chinese-American company, participated in the construction of the Yangtze River Bridge, and dealt with construction workers all year round.

"Haha. Of course I don't care, I'm happy to see Sister Lin, and besides, we're fellow believers, Sicheng, don't you say? ”

Situ Nan answered with a smile, and added, "Women in skirts are certainly elegant and delicate, and women in pants may be more capable of facts and contribute more to society, so I have always encouraged women to enter the workplace." A woman who is not financially independent cannot be independent. ”

He's there, and that's the home field.

In the social scene of Kadoorie Gardens, the style is free and laid-back, never serious and serious.

His words were moving.

Liang Sicheng nodded, mumbled, and glanced at Lin Huiyin beautifully, full of love, and it was hard to open her heart.

Fortunately, he knew that the Mr. Situ in front of him had no other meaning, otherwise he would call Lin Huiyin warmly every time they met, and constantly praise his temperament, so he would have to worry.

"It seems that I am lonely and unheard, and after marrying you for a few years, I feel that I have regressed, and I don't understand the trend of Shanghai." Lu Xiaoman smiled awkwardly and said thoughtfully.

"Dressed like this because we often run the construction site, and over time we get used to it, and we are used to being wild outside, not as extreme as Mr. Situ said. Hehe! ”

Lin Huiyin said and resolved Lu Xiaoman's embarrassment. After all, the people around Lu Xiaoman are happy young grandmothers.

Hearing her say this, Lu Xiaoman's eyes returned to Lin Huiyin's face, and he had a good impression of her, and felt that she was a lot more pleasing to the eye, Lin Huiyin's appearance was not delicate, but her temperament was elegant, but she was a little dark, and her skin was a little rough, maybe it was because she ran too much on the construction site and was exposed to the wind and sun, but it did not affect her self-confidence at all.

"Sister Lin and Liang Gongzi focused on their careers, and when they were building the Yangtze River Bridge in Wuhan, they didn't suffer less, it was not easy, but you did something big in the end. I see that you couple will leave a good story in history. ”

Situ Nan ignored Lu Xiaoman's face and continued to praise.

also gave a thumbs up to Lin Huiyin and his wife, different from the politeness that praised Lu Xiaoman just now, and his attitude towards Lin Huiyin and them was sincere.

"Mr. Situ said it well, now the country is short of practical talents like Hui Yin Sicheng, and the teacher is proud of your achievements."

Wang Geng praised.

Situ Nan glanced at Lu Xiaoman out of the corner of his eye, and saw that her face didn't seem to be very happy, so he thought to himself: This woman is more frivolous and vain, but she doesn't have Sister Lin's steadfastness. This also created a big difference in their fate on the road of love, and the talented poet could not impress Lin Huiyin, so he had to throw his enthusiasm to Lu Xiaoman.

Situ Nan vaguely saw the figure of Zhang Youyi on the staircase on the second floor, she didn't come over, and when she saw Situ Nan looking over, she seemed to be a little weak and avoided it, and hid in Xu Zhouyang and other American and Chinese executives to discuss business and politics and other men's topics.

"We're just doing our job, and we still have a lot to do professionally. In addition to our mentor, Mr. Mao Yisheng, we are also grateful to Mr. Situ for his help to me and Huiyin along the way.

From William University to the Yangtze River Bridge to today's architectural firm, although we have not met a few times, you have always been a mentor and friend to me and Sicheng, thank you for giving us the opportunity, and thank you for your enthusiastic charity to make such a huge project miracle as the Yangtze River Bridge come true. ”

Lin Huiyin's words were quite touching, and there seemed to be a trace of admiration for Situ Nan in his words?

Because she vaguely knows that whether it is William University or Meihua University, the Yangtze River Bridge, the Greater Shanghai Construction Plan, Baoshan Xingang and other major events, there is Situ Nan's influence, and many novel modern buildings are inspired by Situ Nan.

The news came to Lin Huiyin's ears from Mao Yisheng and other people from the Meihua family, although it was not confirmed by Situ Nan, but Lin Huiyin was convinced, because she had met Situ Nan in Paris ten years ago, and her father spoke highly of Situ Nan, and she knew that Situ Nan was a great person at that time.

At that time, I didn't really understand what Situ Nan was about, but in the later years, everything that happened at home and abroad, the establishment of revolutionary power in South China and China, the great development of industry, and the rapid expansion of the Meihua consortium, Lin Huiyin slowly realized how hard-won these changes were!

Situ Nan was not hypocritical, nodded and smiled calmly.

It is difficult to express the feeling of an unpredictable prophet, seeing through the fog of history, and experiencing the real existence of the fate of celebrities and seemingly inadvertently changing.

What Lin Huiyin didn't know was that because of Situ Nan, his righteous father did not go to the northeast to pull the head of the revolution and was beaten to death, but joined the Wuhan government and worked quite energetically in the legal system.

Wang Geng, who originally went to the Northeast to serve, did not go to the Northeast, but instead got a higher position in the South, but unfortunately it seems that he can't escape the fate of frustration in love!

Thinking of this, Situ Nan secretly sighed in his heart.

On the surface, he chatted with Lu Xiaoman and Lin Hui because they were still very enthusiastic, and Situ Nan was hearty and generous, and talked humorously, which won their favor. Of course, Situ Nan has no crooked thoughts about these two beautiful women and wives of the Republic of China. After all, no one is a pervert like Cao Cao and Temujin. (To be continued.) )
