When Tang Ying changed into a long skirt and stepped onto the small stage between the hall on the first floor and the hall on the second floor, the celebrities from all walks of life gathered in the halls on the first and second floors immediately applauded, because then it will be the climax of the welcome dinner, and Tang Ying, a celebrity in Shanghai, will perform on the spot and perform "Young Grandma's Fan".

In fact, Tang Ying's acting skills and singing voice are still slightly behind the professional Kunqu Opera and Shanghai Opera operas, and in terms of beauty alone, there are not a few dancers in Shanghai who are more beautiful than her, but when the quality of acting, beauty, family background, conversation and cultivation is integrated, Tang Ying immediately stands out from the crowd.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for so many celebrities to flock to Tang Ying.

As soon as "Young Grandma's Fan" is performed, it is time for the dance party next, and many celebrities and sons who boast of being young and rich and suave are secretly gearing up, looking forward to dancing the first dance with Tang Ying.

The orchestra conductor of the hotel had just prepared, but Tang Ying gestured to him, the orchestra conductor was stunned, and then put down the baton raised high, and the musicians also put down the instruments in their hands.

Tang Ying dragged the floor-length skirt, walked to the microphone, and said, "Before the dance starts, I want to take a few minutes of everyone's time and say a few words

The celebrities and boys who were gearing up suddenly pricked up their ears.

Tang Ying said: "Little Japan is not dead in my heart, after the invasion of North China, East China, and turned to the Central Plains, the heroic soldiers of the national army are fighting bloody battles with the Japanese invaders on the front line, although I am only a woman, I can't go into battle to kill the enemy and serve the country, but I also want to do what I can, I want to take this opportunity to do something." ”

The hotel ceremonial director, who had been secretly instructed by Tang Ying, strode up to the stage, and then said: "Miss Tang Ying will donate 2,000 legal currency to the national army, and at the same time hope that everyone present can donate generously and give the national army as much help as possible

The celebrities and boys present suddenly realized that this was to raise donations, but they didn't mind, when they met students holding donation boxes on the street, these celebrities and boys may not be willing to pay for one, but for the sake of a Pomeranian smile, they are absolutely willing to spend a lot of money, and on an occasion like tonight, they can't lose face.

The logistics department members who were fortunate enough to attend the dinner were so excited that their faces were red, and it was difficult to make a fortune now

Soon someone began to take action, and the master of ceremonies began to shout after receiving cash or checks: "Ling Xianyang, a famous man in Shanghai, donated 2,000 legal currency; Fang Bofen, a celebrity in Shanghai, deducted 2,000 legal currency; Hu Shi, a professor at Peking University, donated 500 legal currency; Chen Wangdao, former president of Fudan University, donated 500 legal currency......"

These are just small minions, rats pulling drills, and the big heads are still behind.

Under the deliberate guidance of the hotel master of ceremonies and Tang Ying's encouragement, a fundraising activity has almost become a wealthy action, the more you go to the back, the more expensive the guests on stage, the larger the amount of donations, and the guests behind basically don't donate cash, they all donate checks, or bank checks.

Seeing Tang Ying smiling and smiling with the guests who came to the stage to donate, Xiong Qigongzi was unhappy, and immediately took out the check and wrote down the next number, and then stepped forward to pat it on the donation table, the master of ceremonies picked up the check and his hands trembled, and shouted: "Mr. Xiong Xiling, the general agent of Meiya Insurance Company in China, the nephew of Xiong Qigongzi, donated 50,000 yuan, and he cashed the ticket when he saw it."

There was warm applause in the hall, and Xiong Qigongzi bowed his head again and again, looking quite proud.

Xiong Qigongzi looked forward to his self-pride on the stage, and inadvertently angered another older son-in-law, this son-in-law is Kong Lingkan, the eldest son of Finance Minister Kong Xiangxi, Kong Dashao has been pampered since he was a child, and even Chairman Jiang loves him very much, and what he wants to do since he was a child has not been impossible, and he is the focus everywhere.

Don't look at Kong Dashao, who is only in his early twenties, but he is already the de facto head of the Central Trust Bureau, with millions of huge sums in his hands, and it is a dollar not legal tender

Speaking from the heart, Kong Lingkan didn't have much interest in Tang Ying, he just joined in the fun tonight, but Xiong Qigongzi's smug appearance made Kong Dashao angry, boy, rampant in front of my Kong Dashao, you are still tender, what if Tang Ying is your fiancée, tonight's first dance book is set to dance, as for you, where to stay cool.

Kong Dashao deliberately lost the face of Xiong Qigongzi, and he didn't come to the stage at the moment, but just beckoned the hotel master of ceremonies to him, and then took a cashier's check from the secretary's hand and handed it over, and said lightly: "The cashier's check of the Hankou branch of Citibank of the United States, 50,000 US dollars, will be redeemed at the sight of the ticket." ”

Fifty thousand dollars is definitely not a small amount, according to American prices, you can almost buy two fighter jets

However, for Kong Dashao, 50,000 US dollars is really nothing, when he was studying at St. John's University in Shanghai, Kong Dashao had tens of thousands of dollars in pocket money every month, and after joining the Central Trust Bureau, Kong Dashao's pomp was even greater, and sometimes he exported tens of thousands of dollars in one night playing cards with guests.

When the emcee reported Kong Dashao's donation amount loudly through the microphone, the audience was in an uproar, Tang Ying was also beautiful, and found Kong Lingkan, who was the old god from the crowd, and smiled softly at him.

Kong Lingkan took a cigar in his mouth and waved his hand at Tang Ying in a dashing manner.

Xiong Qigongzi was so angry that his face was pale, but he was helpless, compared to power, Kong Dashao is the nephew of Chairman Jiang, compared to wealth, Lao Tzu is the God of Wealth of the Republic of China, that is, he is a little inferior to others, in front of Kong Dashao, Xiong Qigongzi really has no temper at all.

Just when everyone thought that Tang Ying was going to dance the first dance with Kong Dashao tonight, a middle-aged man wearing a wide-brimmed top hat appeared on the stage in an unusually low-key manner, and put another bank cashier's check in front of the hotel master of ceremonies...... One hundred thousand pounds

The hotel master of ceremonies trembled and picked up the promissory note, and his voice trembled: "The guests of the No. 9 VIP room donated 100,000 pounds." ”

The guests present immediately looked at the No. 9 VIP room on the second floor, and Kong Dashao's expression froze there.

Tang Ying's beautiful eyes are also full of brilliance, dare to lose face in public, and make such a generous shot, I'm afraid there is only that one, Tang Ying didn't expect that so many years have passed, and he still can't forget himself, but then again, doesn't she still have the stack of love letters he wrote to herself?

In the corner of the hall, Feng Shengfa was also speechless, and asked Xu Shijiu in a low voice: "Ah Jiu, who is this person?" ”

Xu Jiu smiled: "Who else can there be?" Except for the eldest son of the Song family, who else dares to lose face in public. ”

"It turned out to be him." Feng Shengfa said abruptly, "It's a good nephew and uncle to compete for the wind, but it is cheaper for our 74th Army." ”

As he spoke, Kong Lingkan Kong Dashao had already stood up and left in a huff, obviously he had guessed who it was.

In the No. 9 VIP room, Song Ziwen was holding a goblet and leisurely sipping wine, he didn't intend to be jealous with his nephew, he just remembered the scene when he first met Tang Ying more than ten years ago, so he especially wanted to talk to Tang Ying, for which he did not hesitate to spend thousands of dollars, and even got angry with his own nephew.

With Song Ziwen's rich net worth, 100,000 pounds is really nothing, not to mention that he is now the chairman of the Bank of China, responsible for coordinating the banks to raise military spending, even if this donation is donated, Zuihou will still be deposited in the bank, for Song Ziwen, this money is actually just flowing from the left pocket to the right pocket.

It's just that what happened next was a little beyond Song Ziwen's expectations.

On the stage, Tang Ying stood in front of the microphone again.

"First of all, Tang Ying would like to sincerely thank all the guests for their generosity, your kind deeds will bring thousands of wounded soldiers back to the battlefield, in addition, I have a small suggestion." Tang Ying's soft gaze swept over the faces of celebrities from all walks of life present, and said unexpectedly, "I want to give this donation directly to the combat troops."

As soon as the words came out, the senior officials of the logistics and finance departments who were eating dessert were almost choked to death.

Song Ziwen, who was leisurely sipping red wine in the VIP room, also changed his face.

Celebrities from all walks of life present also whispered, everyone knew that the corruption of the national government had reached a hopeless level, Kong Xiangxi, as the minister of finance, even dared to take kickbacks for the purchase of guns and ammunition, and Madame Chiang even dared to put the money for buying airplanes on Citibank to eat interest.

However, it is one thing to know that the national government is corrupt, and quite another to directly single out it.

Tang Ying is very taboo to do this, if it weren't for her special identity, maybe there would be a spy from the Blue Coat Society coming to her door tomorrow.

"This donation is said to be a lot less, but it is not much, and if it is divided among the ten or twenty divisions, it will be like pepper noodles, and the effect is limited, so I want to give this money to the troops with the most outstanding combat achievements." As he spoke, Tang Ying's eyes fell on He Yingqin, the Minister of Military Affairs who was invited to the dinner, and asked, "General He, which unit do you say has the most outstanding combat achievements?" ”

This can stump He Yingqin, the Battle of Songhu and the Battle of Nanjing were lost, it is really not easy to find a unit with outstanding achievements, if you have to find a tall one in the middle, the 74th Army is undoubtedly the most brilliant.

In the Battle of Songhu, although the 74th Army killed more than 4,000 officers and soldiers, it also killed and wounded more than 4,000 Japanese soldiers, and was the only unit among the dozens of armies participating in the battle whose own casualty figures were close to the number of killed enemies, Qiu Weida's 30U Regiment also fought a beautiful ambush battle in Guzhai, killing more than 500 Japanese soldiers, which was also the only partial victory in the entire Battle of Songhu.

In the defense of Nanjing, the 74th Army also performed well, especially Feng Shengfa's 58th Division, which held Niushou Mountain, so that the Japanese Army's first regiment could not advance an inch, although the 74th Army suffered more than 6,000 casualties, but also killed and wounded nearly 4,000 Japanese soldiers, and its two divisions were the most outstanding among the 14 divisions participating in the battle.

However, when the words came to his lips, He Yingqin changed his words and said: "Of course, it is the Central Military Academy Teaching Corps. ”

"Really?" Tang Ying asked with a smile, "But General He, why did I hear that the 74th Army killed the most enemies in the Battle of Songhu, not the Central Military Academy Teaching Corps?" ”

He Yingqin choked slightly, and said: "The Central Military Academy Teaching Corps fought very bravely in the Purple Mountain. ”

"But the Purple Mountain was lost quickly, wasn't it?" Tang Ying said again, "It's the 74th Army, which fought extremely tenaciously in the southeast defense line, especially the 58th Division guarding Niushou Mountain, and the two elite divisions of the Japanese army attacked fiercely for several days, but they couldn't advance an inch. ”

He Yingqin was speechless, of course he couldn't deny this, and he had already seen that Feng Shengfa should have already been in contact with Tang Ying, and Tang Ying had already decided to hand over this donation to the 74th Army, asking for his opinion was just a formality, even if there were other troops fighting better than the 74th Army, the result would be the same.

"I seem to have seen General Feng Shengfa, the commander of the 58th Division, just now." Tang Ying smiled slightly, ignoring everyone's surprise, and asked the crowd in the audience, "Excuse me, is General Feng Shengfa here?" ”

When Feng Shengfa walked out of the crowd, the senior officials of the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Logistics, and the presidents of the major banks all stretched their necks, and He Yingqin also wanted to stop talking, they were all very concerned about how Feng Shengfa would deal with this donation, if Feng Shengfa was smart enough, he should hand it over to the Military Commission.
