Chapter 1 Floating on the Sea

In June in Shanghai, it was already hot and irritating.

Qiao Zhicai, as the second young master of the Qiao family, has the reputation of a gentleman, but he does not have the financial resources of a gentleman. Because the old lady of the Qiao family attaches great importance to the character education of her three sons, she firmly grasps the financial power. Qiao Zhicai wants to play something fresh, so he always has to dig out his mind to raise money everywhere.

Since Jin Shijie promised to introduce him to business, Qiao Zhicai immediately visited the manager of the Jin family department store. After Jin Shijie's instructions, the manager introduced him to a good way to make a fortune.

Qiao Zhicai is familiar with the black market vendors. Walking in the market is also very flattering. He saw the opportunity and sold the department store in his hand at a high price. Through this reselling and reselling. Exponentially increased the bankroll for their own fun.

Jin Shijie hung up the phone and asked him to go to the opera garden to watch the play, and Qiao Zhi knew that Jin Shijie had fallen in love with a small drama Wenxiang, who was a newly popular actor. Watching the drama is fake, and hooking up with fans is real.

Jin Shijie called his friends to go to the play to cheer for him. And another general affairs brother, Gui Erye, is also competing with him.

The two of them don't let each other go, today you send a flower basket and tomorrow I will send a costume. Jin Shijie didn't pay much attention to small dramas, but after this competition, he felt that he couldn't lose face, and he had to get people.

Qiao Zhicai said: "Are you idle!" Spend money on such a thing! It's not worth it! ”

Jin Shijie paused: "I'm just idle." If you don't go today, don't come to see me again. “

Qiao Zhicai had no choice but to get into the Jin family's newly purchased convertible car. The car, with red men and green women, came to the theater in all directions, and it happened that the helpers called by Qiao Zhicai also arrived. A group of young second ancestors were chatting and laughing at the entrance of the theater.

Who knew that Jin Shijie was extremely sad, and was caught by the eldest brother of the Jin family who heard the news. The boss of the Jin family scolded Jin Shijie for a while, and finally said, "Mom has a headache today." You hurry home with me. ”

Jin Shijie muttered: "Mom has a headache, I should find a doctor, what do you want me to do?" ”

The eldest of the Jin family was in the prime of life, and he used a civilized stick to pump his younger brother like a spinning spiral, and picked up Jin Shijie like a chicken and stuffed it into the car.

Jin Shijie has a tenacious mind, but he does not have a strong physique. Seeing that he couldn't escape the fate of going home today, he hurriedly stuffed the check book to Qiao Zhicai. said: "You help me hang red silk to reward Wenxiang." Don't lose to Gui Lao Er. ”

Qiao Zhicai was about to excuse himself, but the car emitted a puff of smoke and dust, and it had already disappeared from the corner of the street.

At this time, the theater manager hurriedly went out to greet Jin Sishao, who knew that Jin Sishao had been kidnapped by his eldest brother. I had to pinch my nose and pick up Qiao Ershao, and a group of them rushed upstairs. There are two private rooms on the second floor of the opera garden.

Qiao Zhicai looked downstairs and saw that Second Master Gui was also sitting below. With a lot of entourage and friends around him, it was lively.

A good show begins. The second floor here is also quiet, and everyone drinks tea and watches the play.

During the intermission, red silk was played in the center of the stage. It said that Second Master Gui had a bounty of 1,000 yuan.

Qiao Zhicai saw that he was not to be outdone, and immediately asked someone to write a note and send it over. The red silk hung on the stage was a bounty of 2,000 yuan.

Second Master Gui can't show weakness in front of a group of friends, and the two losers come and go. In the end, Qiao Zhicai gritted his teeth and raised the bounty to 10,000 yuan. Gui Lao Er stopped following. A familiar film director said, "It's really rare for Second Master Qiao to be so generous!" Rare! ”

Qiao Zhicai's smiling face was sour, thinking that he had spent 10,000 yuan for Jin Shijie recklessly, and his heart was almost bleeding. I don't know if Jin Shijie will settle accounts after the fall.

Na Wenxiang was dressed in a costume, and Jiao Di came out to thank Qiao Zhicai for tea. Qiao Zhicai let out his eyes and looked at this little drama full of ayaluo, feeling that the makeup was too thick and his eyebrows were gathered in a cloud of mist. In short, I can't see people at all.

Even after Qiao Zhicai went home, Mrs. Qiao asked him what the famous character looked like. Qiao Zhicai replied with a puzzled face: "It's not good!" It looks like a dough on a rough look, but if you look closely, it's still falling down. It's not as good as our sister-in-law. ”

provoked Mrs. Jo and the grandmother to scold him for being a ghost.

Early in the morning, Qiao's family had breakfast. Master Qiao and the eldest brother of the Qiao family, Yiying, both went to the Yamen to handle official business. Although Qiao Lijie is on vacation, he refuses to waste time having fun. He is still researching with school professors.

Only Qiao Zhicai had no official duties or schoolwork, and lay in the room for a long time with nothing to do. I went out to watch movies with a group of friends. His group of fox friends and dog friends, Master Qiao, are very disdainful. Once they meet, they will inevitably scold their son like a rooster crowing. And the combat effectiveness is quite strong, and it can chirp all morning.

Qiao Zhicai didn't dare to use the family car. I quietly hailed a rickshaw and rushed to the cinema.

It's still early before the movie starts. He was hanging out at a candy store next to the theater. There are a lot of glass jars in the candy store. Yellow ginger candy, green plum candy, red strawberry candy, and fruit hard candy are round like jewels, shining in the sun.

Qiao Zhicai tasted a strawberry candy. Seeing that these candies are good-looking, I was fascinated by them. At that moment, he suddenly heard his name called.

Qiao Zhicai looked to the side, and it turned out to be his father's colleague Duan Qilin. Duan Qilin is not too hot, dressed in a suit and leather shoes, and carries a fashionable and modern lady.

Duan Qilin nodded to Qiao Zhicai with a smile and asked, "Why is the second young master so free today?" Is it out to see a movie? ”

Qiao Zhi was just about to say hello when the candy in his mouth gurgled and rolled out. Qiao Zhicai was stunned for a moment, although his face was thick, it was rare to turn red.

Duan Qilin was actually silently admiring Qiao Zhicai for a long time. Qiao Ershao is wearing a white short-sleeved shirt and black trousers today. The fluffy short hair is not oiled, and it looks refreshing and full of vitality. Like a young middle school student who has no experience in the world. That's why I love it. Seeing him embarrassed at this time, he smiled heartily and said, "My brother still likes to eat candy!" “

Qiao Zhicai didn't expect him to be so lively. smiled and said, "Mr. Duan, you know that I am the most idle person in the family, what can I do if I don't come out for fun?" ”

Duan Qilin and the three of them stood at the door of the cinema for a while, and then entered the dark theater with a smile.

This time, the theater is showing a new play called Conspiracy and Murder. It may sound bloody, but it's a tragic romance. The Miss Lin brought by Duan Qilin was moved by the plot and cried like a tearful person. Qiao Zhicai has always been gentle and patient with women, and handed Miss Lin a handkerchief beside him.

Qiao Zhicai said: "Women who dare to love and hate like heroines." It's really admirable. But in the end, it's just movie fiction. Miss Lin doesn't have to cry so sadly. ”

Duan Qilin felt that Qiao Zhicai was lively and hearty, and he was not the most unsuccessful second ancestor of the Qiao family as the outside world said. Then he said: "Since the second young master likes to watch movies, there will be another film next week that is the story of an American cowboy." Second Young Master, let's take a look at it together. ”

Qiao Zhicai didn't like to socialize with his father's friends. However, I felt that Duan Qilin was very interesting, so I agreed casually.

A few days later, Duan Qilin was really riding in his Chevrolet car. Come to Qiao's house to visit. The car drove into the gate of Qiao's house, and Duan Qilin also rolled down the window to enjoy the scenery of Qiao's house.

There is a green lawn in the back garden of Qiao's house. The white bungalow is like a pearl on the green carpet, shining in the sun.

Qiao Zhicai was sitting under his plane tree at this time to cool off. He had recently bought a white swing and placed it under the tree for his amusement.

Qiao Lijie sat beside him, lying on a table to write and draw despite the heat.

George took this new-school romance novel as a fan and fanned himself. Seeing his younger brother's hot neck, he sweated and worked hard to write. knocked on the table and said, "Third child, drink some cold soda to cool off." ”

The third child thought he was noisy, and said irritably: "Oops! Second brother, don't interrupt my train of thought all the time. ”

Qiao Zhicai stepped on the grass barefoot, leisurely shaking his swing chair. While kicking his brother with his foot, "You drink a little, and the poison won't kill you." ”

Qiao Lijie was overwhelmed. Finally picked up the cold soda and took a sip. The cold liquid flowed down his throat and into his stomach, and sure enough, he took away a little heat. He took the wet towel handed by Qiao Zhicai to wipe his face. said: "Second brother, why don't you go out to play today?" ”

Qiao Zhicai was not happy, "What are you talking about, as if I know how to play." ”

Qiao Lijie said: "Then second brother, do you have anything else to do?" ”

Although Qiao Zhicai wandered all day long, he refused to hear from people that he was idle. He rolled his eyes and was about to retort to his brother. saw Duan Qilin coming over.

Duan Qilin is tall and fast. Qiao's errand followed behind, as if he was about to fly.

Qiao Zhicai wanted to stand up, but the swing swayed and couldn't get his wish. Duan Qilin really walked too fast, and in a blink of an eye, he came to the two brothers.

Qiao Zhicai had no choice but to calmly maintain his sitting posture and said, "It turned out that Mr. Duan was here." You may be seated. ”

Duan Qilin took a close look at the Qiao brothers in the sun. Last time, there were a lot of black people, so I didn't see it clearly. This time you can finally enjoy watching it.

I saw Qiao Lijie wearing a shirt, and he cleaned up and down neatly and meticulously. Qiao Zhicai was wearing blue silk pajamas and stepping barefoot on the grass. Both of them had ordinary deep eye sockets and high nose bridges, and those eyes seemed to be able to speak, and at this time, they faced Duan Qilin together and expressed a little doubt.

Qiao Zhicai also felt that his image was not suitable for receiving guests. smiled and said, "Let Mr. Duan see the joke, it's too hot today, I'll go change my clothes first." ”

Duan Qilin was in a happy mood towards these two beautiful young people. The face is naturally very pleasant. said with a smile: "Qiao Ershao's demeanor is very much like the style of a famous man of the Wei and Jin Dynasties. ”

Qiao Zhicai also smiled. "What kind of celebrity am I?"

He beckoned Duan Qilin to sit down, and said to the messenger: "Go and inform the master, Mr. Duan is here." ”

The messenger said on the side: "The master went to the yamen this morning and hasn't come back yet!" ”

Duan Qilin waved his hand. "Second Young Master. Didn't you say you were going to the movies last week? I'm here today to deliver your tickets. ”

Qiao Zhicai didn't expect him to take it seriously. I took the ticket and looked at it. "Great. It's hard to buy tickets for this movie, and I'm thinking about going there. ”

Duan Qilin nodded and said, "Yes, there are two tickets here." You can also ask a friend to go with you. ”

Qiao Zhicai pushed his younger brother. "How? Lijie, you come with me. ”

Qiao Lijie did not show any mercy to the second brother in front of the guests. said: "I'm still busy, you can tell someone else to go." ”

Qiao Zhicai glared at him. "You're leaving soon, so don't spend much time with your second brother."

Qiao Lijie smiled at him. "Not accompanied!"

Qiao Zhicai's watery gaze turned to Duan Qilin again. His peach blossom eyes often have a little water, as if he is about to cry at any time, but in fact, it is because his eyes are not very good.

Duan Qilin saw Qiao Zhicai's coquettish appearance, and felt that he was scheming and unscheming, and his heart moved.
