376 Awkward Night

Regarding these two beautiful women and wives of the Republic of China, Situ Nan has no crooked thoughts. After all, no one is a pervert like Cao Cao and Temujin, who has a special fetish for wives, and especially likes to use force.

In order to make Lu Xiaoman happy, seeing that Situ Nan was open and had no intention of objecting, Wang Geng shook out Situ Nan's glorious deeds, and said that Situ Nan was the founder of the Meihua Foundation and that the Meihua Foundation promoted the reform of pinyin and writing, and promoted the government's implementation of four-year compulsory education.

Literati may not be very interested in money, at least on the surface, they are not keen on discussing money, but they are naturally sensitive to words and works, and Wang Geng's little secret of Situ Nan really attracted the attention of the two beauties.

"It turns out that you wrote the strange book on the rise of great powers? Pinyin and simplified Chinese characters are yours tooβ€”"

Lu Xiaoman looked at Situ Nan in surprise, and when she saw Situ Nan nodding, her bright eyes widened a lot, and her small mouth opened slightly, looking incredible.

"Mr. Liang didn't scold the simplified Chinese characters, I don't dare to show up easily!"

Situ Nan shook his head with a smile, looked at Liang Sicheng, who was also surprised, and said lightly.

He just did something that a traverser would basically do, and there was nothing to be proud of, to put it bluntly, it was because he didn't adapt to it, and he turned around to change society and make it become familiar to him.

Liang Sicheng was a little embarrassed, his father didn't have a good impression of simplified characters, and the older generation of cultural people hated and resisted simplified characters, which was normal.

However, their boycott was of little avail, and a whole set of modern Chinese, such as pinyin, simplified characters, horizontal writing and typesetting standards, and vernacular Chinese, had been popularized in society, and the Shanghai Poster Industry Group controlled by Situ Nan and Song Meiling controlled several large publishing houses across the country, and played an irreplaceable role in promoting the popularization and standardization of Hanzi.

"Why didn't you tell me about this?" Lu Xiaoman glared at Wang Geng. Some complained.

Because Mr. Situ has never cared about the so-called reputation. I don't like to be in the limelight either. Fame will bring him trouble and trouble, so friends who know him will not talk nonsense with others. You often meet with Hu Shi, didn't Hu Shi tell you? ”

Wang Geng explained with a smile.

Lu Xiaoman was still a little unhappy, Wang Geng never discussed work with her, and she didn't care about Wang Geng's work, but she didn't expect Wang Geng to know so many things but hide them from her, which still made her feel like she couldn't speak.

"Oh!" Lu Xiaoman responded, but did not reveal the thoughts in his heart.

At the moment, I am in the palatial palace-like Kadoorie Gardens. The guests are either rich or expensive, there are not many characters, and the scene is not noisy, but they all have quite a background, and they are extremely prominent, and the celebrities and celebrities they usually make friends with seem to be inferior to the characters here, even if their father is an official in the tax department of the Beiyang government, he may not have the ability to enter Kadoorie Garden.

On the contrary, it is Wang Geng, who is like a fish in water on such occasions. Everywhere you go, you get a warm greeting from others.

Situ Nan had no intention of showing off anything and diverted the topic. asked about the work status of Lin Huiyin and his wife.

Lin Huiyin told Situ Nan that in addition to being busy with the work of the architectural firm, the couple also found time to give lectures at the university.

There is a shortage of construction talents in China, and other colleagues in the architectural firm also have the experience of working part-time at the school.

"The firm takes on a lot of important design projects, and it's common to work overtime and go to school on weekends." Lin Huiyin smiled and said with emotion, "Originally, when I was studying architecture in the United States, I felt that I had a lot of homework, and I kept myself busy in order to improve my grades, but I didn't expect to return to China to work, so I was so busy that I didn't even have time to write letters to friends." ”

"If it weren't for Mr. Situ's invitation tonight, Huiyin and I might have to work overtime in the office to design drawings for a school." Liang Sicheng added. It's a bit of a woman singing with a husband.

"Reciting poetry against each other and drinking and talking about joy may leave a few good stories, but it is the people who really promote social progress who do practical things. Congratulations, you have found a way to realize the value of life. ”

Situ Nan immediately turned into a dream mentor, poured chicken soup for the soul of Lin Huiyin and his wife, did not hesitate to praise the newlyweds, and glanced at Lu Xiaoman next to him, intentionally or unintentionally.

Lu Xiaoman felt very uncomfortable, Situ Nan's words seemed to have insinuations, compared with the busy Lin Huiyin, didn't she Lu Xiaoman seem to be idle and idle?

In fact, Situ Nan, Wang Geng, and Lin Huiyin are all workaholics in the workplace, but Lu Xiaoman has no job.

Lu Xiaoman felt that he was compared to Lin Huiyin, but he couldn't refute it, he could only be secretly angry, he still had a good impression of Situ Nan, but now he felt that Situ Nan was a good teacher.

What made her even more angry was that Wang Geng actually echoed Situ Nan's point of view, not noticing that his wife might have been inadvertently snubbed by a few of their workaholics.

They discussed topics such as architecture, industry, and construction, but Lu Xiaoman was not interested, but he had to listen patiently, as if he was very interested.

Lu Xiaoman's "torment" didn't last long, and the conversation with Situ Nan came to an end, and it moved on to the most fashionable topic for all ages at the moment - movies.

Situ Nan saw Ruan Lingyu get rid of a middle-aged man and come to his side, and the man didn't seem to give up, and followed, but he stared at Situ Nan coldly, hesitated for a moment and slowed down, and finally walked over.

But before he could speak, Situ Nan said coldly: "It's not easy for Boss Tang to make the tea business the biggest in Shanghai, and it has been thanks to the help of his good wife all the way to achieve today's achievements, and I don't like someone to involve the little princess of Kadoorie Garden in other people's families. ”

Tang Jishan was reprimanded by Situ Nan as soon as they met, and his face was hot and painful, shocked and angry. Surprised that the owner of Kadoorie Garden actually knew himself, but he was disgusted with himself, angry that he was so rude, he reprimanded himself when he opened his mouth, how can he say that he is also a figure with a head and face in Shanghai, known as the king of tea, but he was ignored by Situ Nan, how could he not be annoyed?

Tang Jishan admired Ruan Lingyu very much in her heart, and was fascinated by her style when she watched her movies. finally squeezed into the Kadoorie Garden, and when I met Ruan Lingyu, I naturally had to use my means.

It's a pity that the chick has a cold attitude and doesn't say anything. I was also slapped in the face by the owner of Kadoorie Garden!

What made Tang Jishan even more humiliated was that. Situ Nan disdained to talk to Tang Jishan. Talking and waving his hand, he drove Tang Jishan away like a fly.

Situ Nan is so rude! It's too overbearing!

Lin Huiyin and Lu Xiaoman watched the scene just now in surprise, and thought carefully in their hearts, when Situ Nan looked at Tang Jishan coldly just now, the momentum was really scary, and it was in strong contrast with the pleasant face, gentle and elegant performance just now, and they didn't look at Tang Jishan without saying a word. Was it scared away?

"That was Boss Tang of the Huacha Company just now?" Lu Xiaoman pulled Wang Geng's arm and asked in a low voice.

"I don't know how thick the sky is when I have a few stinky money, and I don't know what kind of place this is! Hum! Wang Geng shook his head and sneered, if Tang Jishan was not interested just now, he wouldn't mind coming out to teach him a lesson, so that he could have the opportunity to show his might as the commander of the Shanghai garrison in front of Situ Nan.

"That guy still dares to pester you, you tell me, I'll clean him up!" Situ Nan asked Ruan Lingyu and said with concern.

"Actually, it's nothing, it's just a few words." Ruan Lingyu said.

I was secretly strange. Before meeting Tang Jishan, Situ Nan had warned Ruan Lingyu. If he meets a man named Tang Jishan one day, ignore him. Ruan Lingyu listened to Situ Nan's words, but she didn't expect Tang Jishan to be at home tonight, when Tang Jishan said her name, Ruan Lingyu's attitude became cold, and she turned to leave, but she didn't expect Tang Jishan to come over, which angered Situ Nan.

Situ Nan hates Tang Jishan very much, Ruan Lingyu doesn't know what the reason is, Situ Nan doesn't say it, she won't ask questions, and she doesn't want to go against Situ Nan's intentions. Because she believes that Situ Nan will not harm herself.

"It's okay, you're simple, you have to remember, a middle-aged uncle with a little money, a rich second generation who is idle, what these two people like to do most is to play with a little famous woman, but when something happens, these guys are not useful, I look down on these people the most."

Situ Nan admonished.

Saying something in front of others, Ruan Lingyu felt shy, blushed, and nodded.

Fate is really a wonderful thing, some people are destined to meet, Tang Jishan and Zhang Damin, who are entangled in Ruan Lingyu, have appeared or are about to appear in Situ Nan's field of vision, Situ Nan doesn't want the tragedy to happen again, it will make him lose face.

"I'm not in Shanghai, you take care of her more, so that she won't be bullied stupidly." Situ Nan did not forget to ask Wang Gengdao.

"Okay." Wang Geng didn't say a word, but responded. Situ Nan instructed that if Tang Jishan or anyone else is not interested, there is no need for Wang Geng to take action, and there are many people who want to clean up Tang Jishan. And there is no need for off-the-board tricks at all, using upright business methods is enough to make Tang Jishan bankrupt.

Tang Jishan, the so-called king of tea, is not generally far behind the Nanhua grain store that operates tea planting, processing, transportation, export, and sales in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Guangdong, Hunan and Yunnan provinces.

Ruan Lingyu was secretly moved, she told Situ Nan Lianhua Film Company that the script was optimistic about the overnight romance, and the funds for filming the movie overnight were almost ready, so there was no need for Situ Nan to invest. Situ Nan didn't care, it was just the product of a whim.

Situ Nan lacked interest, but the topic of movies aroused the interest of Lu Xiaoman and Lin Huiyin, and she asked Ruan Lingyu, a female star, about making movies. Especially Lu Xiaoman, this woman often runs to the theater to sing big operas out of boredom, so as to consume her rich emotions and pass the boring days.

Singing on stage is actually no different from making a movie, they are all acting.

Situ Nan and Wang Geng walked away, leaving the central topic of those women, it was impossible for a man like them to revolve around a few women, and he had to deal with other guests.

The two found a quiet corner and sat down, Situ Nan looked at Lu Xiaoman and Ruan Lingyu talking excitedly, and said to Wang Geng with a smile: "Miss Lin has a calm and down-to-earth personality, quiet and assertive, while Miss Lu is much more lively, but when you meet a dull person, you will inevitably be left out." ”

The muscles on Wang Geng's face twitched slightly, and there were some things that didn't need to be pointed out, but he didn't expect it to reach Situ Nan's ears. Situ Nan said this, he didn't know how to answer, although he said it very tactfully, he said the contradiction between their husband and wife's incompatible personalities.

Thinking of Situ Nan's wisdom of knowing people, Wang Geng vaguely realized that his marriage was going to be tragic.

"Personality incompatibility can also be said to be complementary personalities, which is not entirely a bad thing. I'm afraid that one party will not accept the reality, refuse to compromise, and insist on breaking the original things to pursue what she longs for but can't get. "Situ Nandao.

Wang Geng's heart sank, he didn't speak, sighed, and said quietly: "I can't revolve around her, and I'm reluctant to deal with her." I hope it can be made up, otherwise the villain will succeed. ”

It seems that Wang Geng has not given up yet. Situ Nan thought to himself, and didn't encourage him to clean up the "adulterer". Wang Geng is a gentleman, with his wisdom, his means, and his ability, if he wants, there are countless ways to make someone ruined or worse than dead.

"Hu Shi is not authentic, not enough friends, and he doesn't dare to come to see me." Situ Nan scolded with a smile, and added in his heart, "I almost stole without guarding!" ”

"That's right." Wang Geng agreed, nodded and smiled.

However, the mood that was only slightly relieved quickly disappeared, because Zhang Youyi and Xu Shenru came over, and when the two sides met, the atmosphere seemed indescribably embarrassing.

The old man of the Xu family was in a good mood, under the recommendation of Zhang Youyi, he just had a short and friendly meeting with Xu Zhouyang of Meihua Electric, and also met Yang Yongtai, the mayor of Shanghai.

Zhang Youyi's mood was not as good as that of Master Xu, although she was a little embarrassed, she still smiled in front of Situ Nan and Wang Geng.

"You are Xu Zhimo's father, the master of the Xu family?" Wang Geng greeted him like a sneer, he tried his best to keep his tone indifferent, and the disgust in his heart still couldn't be suppressed, as if to say, "Oh, it turns out that you are the so-and-so who can't teach your son!" I just happened to meet, and I want to reason with you."

"I've seen General Wang, and it's Xu Shenru." The old man of the Xu family was angry, maybe he was old, had many wrinkles, had a thicker face, and gave people a polite and friendly attitude, but he was choked by Wang Geng, but his face still didn't show anger.

Wang Geng is not a bitter person, he doesn't care about himself, nods to Situ Nan, and leaves "out of company".

As soon as he left, the atmosphere was much more relaxed. Zhang Youyi secretly breathed a sigh of relief and helped the old man of the Xu family talk to Situ Nan.

Situ Nan has always loved Zhang Youyi, although he didn't have much to talk about with the Xu family, he showed a friendly attitude towards the Xu family.

The old man of the Xu family thanked Situ Nan for the gift he gave to his grandson last time, and Situ Nan asked why he didn't bring the children over as guests? Kadoorie Garden welcomes Zhang Youyi's mother and son to come and visit.

Interestingly, tonight's Kadoorie Gardens is destined to be an awkward night. When he met Lu Xiaoman, the old man of the Xu family received a cold face from Wang Geng, and he threw the cold face to Lu Xiaoman.

Lu Xiaoman wanted to please the master of the Xu family, but he was unexpectedly treated politely by Zhang Youyi. Zhang Youyi didn't seem to have a grudge against Lu Xiaoman, but she had a cold attitude towards Lin Huiyin.

And Lin Huiyin seemed to be a little weak in the face of Zhang Youyi, and Liang Sicheng, who was standing beside her, comforted his wife in time. He plays a supporting role, and although the role is quiet, it has a bit of the thrill of victory.

These families, all kinds of faces, complicated relationships, Situ Nan secretly saw it in his eyes, some funny, some helpless, the plot was bloody enough, and it was later made into a TV series, which became the past of the Republic of China that later generations talked about. (To be continued.) )
