Bai Yunfei pointed ahead and said, "The Bund is ahead, let's take a few steps." ”

Luo Lie said happily: "Let's talk while walking!"

Luo Lie knew that people like Bai Yunfei rarely had the courage to go out alone, and on the way to the Bund for the two of them, there were many plainclothes guards along the way. Although Bai Yunfei has become a figure in the French Concession, this does not mean that he can live as he wants, Mu Xiu will be destroyed by the forest wind, people are often cold in high places, Bai Yunfei lives more carefully than most people.

Bai Yunfei said: "Where has Brother Luo been at ease in the past few years?"

Luo Lie said: "It's hard for me to calm down, walk around, waste the years, although I am a few years older, I don't have much knowledge." ”

Bai Yunfei laughed: "You are always too modest, and you will achieve something in whatever you want to do with your ability, but Brother Luo is rare to look down on fame and fortune at a young age, which is also what Brother Wei admires you the most." ”

Luo Lie said: "Everything in this world is a double-edged sword, what you gain is what you lose, so it is the most difficult to do without losing." ”

Bai Yunfei thought about it carefully because of his words: "There are truths, but some truths are clear to everyone, but few people can do it, if a person never gets it, it doesn't matter if he loses it, but once a person has it and suddenly loses it, then he will take back what he lost at all costs." ”

Luo Lie smiled faintly, he knew Bai Yunfei's experience, and Bai Yunfei's words were talking about himself.

Bai Yunfei said: "I have been up and down several times, and I have worked hard to get everything in front of me, but now I find myself more and more unhappy. As he spoke, he had already walked to the teahouse they were going to, and Bai Yunfei's men had already arrived here to clear the scene, and his car was parked outside the teahouse.

The two went to the teahouse, Bai Yunfei called a pot of Longjing, ordered a few refreshments, Luo Lie looked out the window, and saw the boats shuttling back and forth in the Pujiang River, Bai Yunfei said: "In the past, Mu Sanye often came here, and now I have also developed the habit of drinking tea here." ”

Luo Lie smiled and said, "Third Master Mu didn't see the wrong person. ”

Bai Yunfei sighed and said: "In the past, I was very curious, why Mu Sanye always liked to sit here, originally I thought he liked to see the river view, but later I found out that sitting here can see the surrounding situation clearly, and will not become the target of others." ”

Luo Lie said: "It seems that you people don't even dare to relax after drinking a cup of tea. ”

Bai Yunfei said: "I am worried all the time, I have thought more than once about washing my hands in the golden basin and withdrawing from the rivers and lakes, can I retreat? If I retire from this position today, I may only be exposed to the streets tonight, I have too many enemies, once I take the initiative to put down the knife in my hand, then it is equivalent to losing my defense." ”

Luo Lie could understand Bai Yunfei's feelings, and said softly: "Since you have chosen your own path, you have to go on firmly."

Bai Yunfei said: "Looking back now, the happiest and most comfortable time I was when I first learned opera, if it wasn't for my voice, I might have sung on stage for the rest of my life." He looked at the river and thought thoughtfully, and was silent for a long time before he said: "The reason why I see you is not because I want to take advantage of you, I don't have many friends, and there are even fewer people who can make me trust, since I entered this industry, I have done a lot of bad things, but there is one thing I am worthy of my conscience, I have not betrayed my ancestors." ”

Luo Lie said: "Mr. Bai has always been a principled person. ”

Bai Yunfei said: "What does Brother Luo think of the current situation?"

Luo Lie didn't speak, because he had already understood this history, of course he knew the direction of the next history, and every new era would have to go through hardships and pains, and Luo Lie had no right to interfere and could not interfere.

Bai Yunfei said: "The Qing Dynasty has become the Republic of China, in fact, it is a change of soup and not a change of medicine, the so-called democracy, how can there be any real democracy, since the founding of the Republic of China, the warlords have been divided, all parties are constantly fighting, fighting for power and profit, deceit, infighting, who can really care about the life and death of the people, use iron-blooded suppression against their compatriots, and be subservient to foreign invasions, how can such a government win the trust of the people, and how can such a regime last. ”

Luo Lie said: "I'm not interested in politics, does Mr. Bai want to be in politics?"

Bai Yunfei shook his head and said: "With my foundation, being able to become a Hua Dong in the French Concession has reached my peak, and now there are many people in the entire Huangpu who are staring at my position, and I can't wait to pull me down from my seat and replace me." The French entrusted me with a heavy task, but their real purpose was to use my hands to oppress my compatriots and plunder the wealth of China. ”

Luo Lie said: "Since you know, why do you still do things for them?"

Bai Yunfei said: "I don't do it, someone else does it, it's better to let me do it than let others do it, Luo Lie, I heard that you are preparing to build a museum, I want to do my best." ”

Luo Lie said: "I have dispelled this idea." ”

Bai Yunfei was stunned when he heard this: "Doesn't it mean that you have already chosen a piece of land, and the main building has been built?"

Luo Lie said: "In the turbulent times, the gold in the prosperous times, in today's turbulent situation, it is easy to open a museum, but it is difficult to protect those antiques, and it is better to be scattered among the people during the tenure." Luo Lie's change of mind stemmed from his understanding of the direction of history.

Bai Yunfei sighed with some disappointment and said, "It also makes sense." ”

Luo Lie said: "Actually, Mr. Bai can do more charity and help more people in need. ”

Bai Yunfei said: "Who would believe that a person like me would believe in doing good deeds? others would definitely doubt my motives." ”

Luo Liedao: "Qinghong and I are going to set up a foundation to help those orphans who have been displaced. ”

Bai Yunfei's eyes lit up and said, "This matter is my share." ”

Luo Lie nodded and said, "Okay, no problem." ”

Bai Yunfei said: "Do you remember Zhang Lingfeng's person?"

Luo Lie said: "There is an impression. ”

Bai Yunfei said: "He has a cousin named Zhang Lingkong, who came back from studying in North America, has a lot of family property, and recently came to Huangpu to do business, and his momentum is not small. ”

Luo Lie could already see from Bai Yunfei's expression that he attached great importance to this Zhang Lingkong, but Luo Lie was not interested in this kind of competition in the mall, and smiled: "I don't know this person." ”

Bai Yunfei said: "Zhang Lingfeng is also here, although Huangpu is not small, but everyone looks down and doesn't look up, I think there will always be a time to meet, this weekend, Zhang Lingkong held a dance party in New World, I don't know if you are interested?"

Luo Lie laughed: "Mr. Bai's last dance party has already made me have a psychological shadow, and I am not interested in this kind of thing." ”

Bai Yunfei said with a smile: "Having said that, Zhang Lingfeng also knows the news of your return, and he shouldn't forget your old friend." ”

New World is built on the basis of the old Blue Mill, the scale is more than double the size of the past, Zhang Lingkong, the owner of the new world, is ambitious to build the largest nightclub in Huangpu, he wants to invite the most popular brand in the whole Huangpu, the most beautiful dancers are invited here, in fact, he is also doing this, in Huangpu is constantly poaching, almost poaching the pillars of the major nightclubs.

Zhang Lingkong's behavior naturally aroused the hostility of many people, but Zhang Lingkong not only had a strong relationship in politics and business, but also had a close friendship with Zhao Huchen of the Kaishan Gang, and as for the military circles, the North Manchurian warlord Zhang Tongwu was his own uncle. Therefore, although Zhang Lingkong has not returned to China for a long time, he has been regarded as a wealthy and well-eyed figure.

Zhang Lingfeng was smoking on the platform of the Pujiang Hotel at this time, and Lu Rulan was sitting on a rattan chair on the balcony, carefully smearing her nails. The two of them haven't seen each other for more than half a year, the corner of Zhang Lingfeng's eyes swept Lu Rulan, although they were separated by a distance, they could still see the fine wrinkles at the corners of Lu Rulan's eyes, thinking of the upheaval between the two just now, Zhang Lingfeng actually felt bored, women really couldn't help but get old.

Lu Rulan said: "I thought you forgot about me." ”

Zhang Lingfeng said: "How come? Recently, the war in Manchuria has been tight, and I really can't get out, no, I have just reached a peace agreement with Xu Beishan, and I am here." ”

Lu Rulan threw Zhang Lingfeng a wink, she couldn't know more about a man's heart, no matter how sweet Zhang Lingfeng's mouth was, but some things couldn't be hidden, she knew that Zhang Lingfeng was perfunctory, Lu Rulan said: "The business of the new world is good." ”

Zhang Lingfeng said with a smile: "It's not thanks to you, if it weren't for you escorting me, how could I have invited the most popular dancer in Huangpu in such a short period of time." ”

Lu Rulan said: "Please this word is inappropriate, to be exact, it is dug up." ”

Zhang Lingfeng seemed to remember something, he turned around and walked in, and after a while, he came out with a silver ticket, took Lu Rulan's right hand and put the silver ticket in her hand, Lu Rulan glanced at the silver ticket and said, "That's not what you told me at the beginning." She handed the silver ticket to Zhang Lingfeng.

Zhang Lingfeng smiled: "Too little?"

Lu Rulan said: "Didn't you say that half of the management rights of the new world are mine?"

Zhang Lingfeng said: "What's the use of you wanting to manage the right, don't say it's you, now even I won't interfere in the matter, my eldest brother ......"

Lu Rulan interrupted him and said, "Your eldest brother is your eldest brother, you are you, what you promised me, don't use your eldest brother as an excuse." ”

Zhang Lingfeng said: "At first, I thought that my old man would let me be in charge of the affairs of Huangpu, but he refused, and specially brought my eldest brother from the United States, and now he is responsible for everything, what can I do? Rulan, this money is a lot, if you still don't think it's enough, I can give you another 10,000 oceans." ”

Lu Rulan said: "What I want is not money, what I want is respect, Zhang Lingfeng, what did you tell me? What did you promise me? I have been with you all these years, have I asked for any status and status? Have I asked you to marry Ming Media? If you can't give me this, forget it, and let me continue to follow that old man, what do you mean? What do you think of me?"
