1928: The Rise of Giants

Chapter 98 The Russian Lady’s Invitation (Third update, please subscribe for a monthly ticket, my grades are too bad, I can’t persist anymore)
Ye Luo and Mérieux chatted happily, and both of them got what they wanted from each other, and the goal of the dance was achieved.

With his worries over, Merieux stood up with a smile and walked onto the dance floor with his wife, greeted by screams and cheers.

Ye Luo was not very interested in this kind of ballroom dancing. His dance partner Lin Ruxian was having a lively chat with a group of noble ladies. He was enjoying himself leisurely and was about to drink some wine when a white and soft little hand suddenly stretched out.

He raised his head and what caught his eye was a head of long wavy golden hair, and a woman's unique body fragrance hit his nostrils!

"Handsome and handsome Mr. Ye, can I invite you to dance with me?" Belarusian noblewoman Nia Ivanova bent down and extended her hand to invite you to dance. In her low-cut dress, a pair of heavy, white and tender fertile fruits were rising and falling. All in sight.

The Belarusian beauty has three characteristics: exquisite facial features, tall figure, and big breasts and buttocks. Ivanova is 34 years old this year. During the Republic of China, she was already considered an older aunt-level woman. However, in Ye Luo’s opinion, she is the one who knows best. MILF level of fun and men.

She seemed to be deliberately teasing Ye Luo. After getting the promise, she put her soft little hands into his palms. When Ye Luo held her waist, she deliberately pressed her body tightly to let him enjoy the ultimate softness and smoothness!
"Mr. Ye, I heard that you have traveled to many countries. I wonder if you have ever been to Russia?" Ivanova's voice was sweet, and she snuggled into his arms like a little girl, blinking with her big beautiful eyes. He seems to be curious about everything about him.

Ye Luo smiled and shook his head. Going to Russia as a Chinese at this time is not fun. His main social circle is still in the great powers such as Britain and the United States.

The two chatted casually. As soon as Ye Luo looked at Ivanova, he knew that she wanted something from him, but she didn't speak, so he pretended not to know.

After the song ended, Ivanova seemed to be in a good mood. She refused Verdi's request to dance, and coquettishly asked Ye Luo to dance with her again.

Jumping to the middle of the song, Ivanova was dripping with sweat, gasping in a low voice, flushed, and asked lightly: "Mr. Ye, do you have an appointment tonight? I live at No. 13 Maiyang Road, and I am the only one at home. My daughter is here, if it’s convenient for you, you can come and play.”

"We have to take a look at the situation tonight." Ye Luo was quite amused by her bold invitation and asked with a smile, "Mrs. Ivanova, isn't your husband on the beach?"

"He died in the Shiyue Revolution. I only fled here with my daughter. She just graduated from St. John's University this year." Ivanova's eyes showed a hint of sadness, "I love my husband very much, but it's a pity that He will never be reunited with us."

"Sorry." Ye Luo hugged her and comforted her softly.

Her daughter was able to attend St. John's University. This Belarusian lady had more energy than he imagined.

"Actually, I want to ask Mr. Ye for something. Please promise me." Seeing his hesitation, Ivanova quickly said frankly, "I heard from your wife that you want to open a dance hall in Shanghai, right? ?”

"That's the plan." Ye Luo nodded.

"My daughter and I are both proficient in the dance industry. If we can work in your dance hall." Ivanova bit her lip and whispered, "You know, the White Russians living in Shanghai have a very difficult life."

This is true.

After the Shiyue Revolution, people who followed the leadership of Tsarist Russia and believed in the orthodox consciousness of the Orthodox Church chose to go into exile.

The ensuing Russian Civil War caused people fleeing the chaos to flee regardless of their faith or caste.

Those with money and connections fled to Europe and the United States through Eastern European countries or Caucasus Turkey, and then established countless Russian communities overseas, continuing the lives of upper-class nobles and elite groups.

The majority of people without money had to cross the vast Siberian wilderness, climb over the dense forests and rivers of the Xing'an Mountains, and finally arrive at the unfamiliar eastern land.

Here they are called "White Russians" because they are the group corresponding to the red "Red" Soviets.

A large number of women in exile from these groups have to enter the sex industry to make a living. Those who have the conditions and resources will enter the ballrooms of large hotels to work as accompanying dancers, dancing with famous Japanese writers, Chinese political upstarts and international wealthy businessmen. .

Those who do not have the conditions and resources basically end up in brothels, or solicit clients on the street, and make a living as prostitutes at the lowest level.

There are even specialized Belarusian brothels, the most famous of which is in Xiafeifang where Ye Luo lives!
In the newspaper of the past few years, there was this description: "In the bustling neighborhoods of Shanghai, there are many Belarusian women. They recruit wealthy people. Once the price is negotiated, they immediately get on the rickshaw together. Go home; some will take guests for a walk home. In the large ballrooms of many well-known hotels, sexy Belarusian ladies dance in miniskirts, showing off their thighs and buttocks. Guests drink bottle after bottle Open the champagne, and each bottle costs 1-5 oceans. After a few hours, the girls who are tired from dancing come to accompany the guests to drink or go out to sleep. It is said that the cost of a night is usually 20-30 oceans."

"Japanese and Chinese women also in Shanghai do not have such high prices. They are only worth an ocean a night. Some Chinese gambling people even mortgage their wives. There are many such cases, which makes their My wife can do anything, but the price is a little higher, usually 1-5 oceans, and the expensive ones can go up to 6 oceans!"

This is what you don’t see under the spotlight. "If you are professional dance teachers, I am willing to hire you to work." Ye Luo smiled and nodded, "Of course, that will have to wait until the ballroom officially opens."

"We are very professional! Not only that, I actually know most of the Belarusian dancers in Shanghai. As long as you have needs, I can call them together to serve you." Ivanova smiled and nodded, enthusiastically He promoted himself and his daughter, "My daughter Anna and I are the most professional dance teachers! Please rest assured!"

"Well, I have fully felt your professionalism." Ye Luo is convinced of this. Ivanova's dance is moving and graceful. It is indeed a great pleasure to dance with her. She should have systematic and professional training. Ballroom dancing.

As for the Belarusian dancers she mentioned, they are also an indispensable resource for the dance hall business in the future.

Nowadays, there are few dancers and their lives are miserable. But after ballroom dancing became popular, a large number of dance halls sprung up. At that time, a dancer's monthly income could be as high as 300 yuan, which was comparable to that of a university professor!
Even more than the salaries of many movie stars today.

The booming development of this industry has brought a new breath to Shanghai's entertainment industry.

After the two reached an agreement, Ivanova stood up on her tiptoes and kissed him on the cheek, causing the women around her to scream in surprise.

Handsome, tall and wealthy men are always popular everywhere, regardless of nationality.

Ye Luo proved this.

Not long after he left the stage, many beautiful foreigners came over to invite him to dance, and he became the most popular man in the room.

Finally having free time, Ye Luo quickly chatted with George to avoid those women from bothering him again.

"Have you read those papers?" Ye Luo asked with a smile.

George looked at him with a wary look on his face: "That's enough. Do you want to see me again?"

"I can't hide it from you. I need to extradite a large number of American dance teachers and people working in the ballroom industry to live in Shanghai for a long time. There are so many people, I'm afraid I need your help from the Ministry of Industry and Commerce to handle it." Ye Luo winked at him.

George raised his forehead and said, "Oh my god, is this such a tricky thing every time?"

"There is no other way. It is very troublesome to live in the public concession for a long time without approval from the Ministry of Industry and Commerce. There are so many foreigners. Okay, your reward is my new thesis."

"name?"

""On the economic crisis that swept the United States and the entire world in 1929"!"

"Oh my God! It's a promise, won't you give it to me in batches?"

"Well, I'll try my best."

"it is good!"

After the two of them finished laughing and chatting, the dance party came to an end.

In the evening, Mérieux and Verdy saw Ye Luo off and invited them to meet again another day.

Lin Ruxian, who was slightly drunk, was put into the car by him. Ye Luo drove her back to No. 31 Xiafei Road, and then returned to the consulate with Shi Jianqiao.

Under Shi Jianqiao's dull expression, Ye Luo picked up Ivanova, who had been waiting for a long time, into the car, and then sped towards her home!
