Rebirth: Outstanding

When I met Chu Xiaoxin again, Chu Er Shao was no longer the second son of the rich family who was jealous and fierce fighting with others in the wine yard. His hair was carefully combed with wax, his clothes were neat and his leather shoes were shiny, and he was the place where he had a small gathering with Song Tianyao in the evening. It is no longer the magnificent Retiro nightclub or the Golden Phoenix Ballroom in the past, but the Silver Moon Ballroom on Central Avenue.

Compared with dance halls such as Lichi and Jinfengchi, the Silver Moon Ballroom is now a bit outdated. The decoration and lighting changes are far less colorful than those of other newly opened ballrooms. There is a dance hall, the hall is scattered, and a dozen boxes are added. All of the Silver Moon Ballroom, compared to those nightclubs that now provide one-stop services such as sparrow pavilions, tea houses, restaurants, etc., do not know how shabby it is.

In the usual way, it is impossible for Chu Xiaoxin to come to such a place, but now, he is a frequent visitor here, such as Retiro, Jinfengchi, etc., but rarely go again.

The youngest guests who come to the Silver Moon Ballroom for entertainment are almost forty years old. These guests can be said to have been the first group of the Silver Moon Ballroom when the Silver Moon Ballroom opened in 1930. Guest, now twenty years later, these guests are already a new generation of Hong Kong Chinese entrepreneurs. Even Chu Xiaoxin’s father, Chu Yaozong, would only come to Yinyue if he was occasionally invited by his peers to the dance hall to listen to music. The ballroom, when they were young, the Silver Moon Ballroom was considered a new thing, so they were used to being sensual and graceful. Now they are older and still like to dance in the outdated Silver Moon Ballroom, but the Silver Moon Ballroom has not changed. They But everything has changed. From the time when he was young, he first set foot in the Silver Moon Ballroom. The ambitious young man who started from nothing, or the rich man who inherited his ancestral business and pioneered and forge ahead, has now become a leader in various industries. The worst title is also the director of Baoliang Ju. Or members of the Tung Wah Group of Hospitals, justices of the peace, etc.

Over time, there is even an unwritten rule in the Silver Moon Ballroom. If there is no Justice of the Peace or Po Leung Ju, the Tung Wah Group of Hospitals and so on show the honor of social status, don't lose face at Silver Moon.

Of course, this rule is not compulsory. At first, it was just a joke, but it really slowly spread, because if you change to the dude status before Chu Er Shao, you come to the Silver Moon Ballroom, don't say you want to be an uncle in the Silver Moon Ballroom. The head of the young group, it is estimated that even if all the pocket money is thrown out, the popular dancers in the Silver Moon Ballroom will not have time to dance with him, so many rich boys also take the initiative not to go to the Silver Moon Ballroom. After all, they are jealous and brave. They were all the big businessmen of the previous generation with the title of Justice of the Peace, and they had the privilege of arguing. It would be easier to castrate yourself.

"The last time I saw me was because I asked me to help you go to the United States. Why did you see me this time? Can you ask me once, not so purposeful?" Chu saw Song Tianyao being taken into his box by the waiter. Xiaoxin smiled and stood up, stretched out his hand to punch Song Tianyao's shoulder, then strangled Song Tianyao's neck again, grinning and said, "Is there no longer your boss in my eyes?"

Sitting on the sofa next to him was a young beauty in a simple dress. She was just sitting quietly beside Chu Xiaoxin, but when she saw Chu Xiaoxin got up and greeted Song Tianyao affectionately, she immediately stood up beside him with a decent look on her face. With a polite smile, he watched the movements of Song Tianyao and Chu Xiaoxin.

Chu Xiaoxin waited for Song Tianyao to be restrained, and then let go of his arms and introduced the beauty to Song Tianyao: "This is Lu Peiying, my girlfriend, her father is a barrister, and Mr. Lu Wenhui, a member of the Legislative Council."

"Hello Miss Lu, this is Song Tianyao." At first, Song Tianyao thought that the other party was the dancer Chu Xiaoxin held in the Silver Moon Ballroom. At this time, hearing Chu Xiaoxin's introduction, he stretched out his hand and leaned slightly towards the other party and greeted him politely.

Lu Peiying and Song Tianyao shook hands, and smiled and said, "Hello, Mr. Song, during this period, whenever Brother Xin encounters troubles, he will mention Mr. Song's name. I have heard the name too much. Many times, Brother Xin has always said that if there is today, it is all Mr. Song helping him."

"I'm used to being around Mr. Chu. He can't change his words for a while. There is no such exaggeration. I just ran errands next to Mr. Chu." Song Tianyao said modestly.

From hearing Chu Ershao introducing Lu Peiying as his girlfriend, and then hearing Lu Wenhui’s name, Song Tianyao concluded that Chu Ershao this time, whether he wanted it or not, the ending would be to marry this beauty named Lu Peiying, Chu Ershao Neng Marriage with the Lu family, it is impossible to have a daughter. This Lu Peiying should be the daughter of Lu Wenhui, but even if it is a concubine, it is probably something that many young talents toss and turn but can't ask for.

The Lu family is one of the four major Chinese families in Hong Kong in the eyes of the British. The head of the Lu family is currently the chief Chinese unofficial member of the Hong Kong colonial government. General Counsel, Permanent Member of Po Leung Kuk Law, Permanent Advisor of the Tung Wah Group of Hospitals, Councilor and Counselor of the University of Hong Kong, Lo Man Kam, winner of the Order of the Lord of the British Empire.

Lu Wenhui is the third brother of Lu Wenjin. He is currently one of the partners of Hong Kong Lu Wenjin Law Firm. He is a well-known barrister, Justice of the Peace. He has served as a member of the Urban Council of Hong Kong. He is now an unofficial member of the Legislative Council of Hong Kong and a recipient of the obe official medal of the British Empire. , Star Ferry Co., Ltd., Hong Kong Tram Company, China Light and Power Company, and many other listed companies on the board of directors.

In addition to Lu Wenjin, the head of the Lu family, and Lu Wenhui, the third son of the Lu family, there are two other people in the Lu family. They are Lu Wenhui’s second brother Lu Wenxian, fourth younger brother Lu Wenhao, and the fourth son Lu Wenhao is now a Justice of the Peace and Justice of the High Court of Hong Kong. , The second child, Lu Wenxian, set foot in the business sea, Jardine's Chinese Executive Class, Justice of the Peace, the Chinese Chamber of Commerce Managers, and the chairman of the Hong Kong Federation of Foreign Firms and Offices.

When other large Chinese clans were still rejoicing in obtaining the title of Justice of the Peace, the four brothers of the Lu family, each of whom had the least valuable title was the title of Justice of the Peace.

Don't look at the Chu family as the leader of the Chaozhou Chamber of Commerce, but when it comes to talking about their social status in the eyes of the Hong Kong colonial government, the Lu family has more than one choice. The Chu family is a businessman after all, and the Lu family is already a prominent political figure.

If the identity of the Chu family and the Lu family were to be simply distinguished, one sentence would be enough. When the head of the Lu family, Lu Wenjin, saw the Governor say a word, it would be called a motion. Chu Yaozong, the Patriarch of the Chu family, saw the Governor say a word, at most it was called an opinion.

The status is clear at a glance.

Even if Lu Peiying is Lu Wenhui’s concubine daughter, it is not Chu Er Shao who got rich overnight. Obviously this is a typical Chinese family marriage, but Chu Er Shao is lucky. Lu Peiying is a beautiful girl, himself. The appearance of the students is also handsome, which is considered to be a good match. It is not like the difference in appearance between men and women when many other families are married.

When Song Tianyao and Chu Xiaoxin were seated, Lu Peiying smiled and stood up over there: "You talk to Mr. Song, I will go outside to enjoy jazz with my second wife."

"Go." Chu Xiaoxin nodded.

Lu Peiying left the box lightly, Song Tianyao looked at Chu Xiaoxin and asked curiously: "Second sister-in-law?"

"Her brother Lu Dechang and his wife were also chatting with someone in the box of the Silver Moon Ballroom. I just went to say hello." Chu Xiaoxin picked up the French orchid on the table and poured the red wine into the two goblet glasses. After giving Song Tianyao a cup of liquid, said.

Song Tianyao lowered his head and smelled the scent of wine, and said to Chu Xiaoxin: "Big brother, I feel like I haven't seen you for a while, you seem to be mature?"

After touching a wine glass with Song Tianyao, Chu Xiaoxin smiled bitterly after a sip of the wine: "Of course I am mature. The woman outside, a good wife and a good mother, is coming. We have known each other for only two months, so she is about to get engaged, but this lady is totally absent. It's fun, you think she is so dignified, two people are respectful as guests, think about it, she talked like this when we entered the bridal chamber with me, can you bear it?"

"Hey, I don't know the good fortune in the fortune. If you are not the boss of Likang, and a young talent, how can you have the opportunity to discuss marriage with the daughter of the Lu family. The Lu family has always only married the He family, who is in the right place." Song Tianyao also took a sip. After drinking, he said to Chu Xiaoxin: "Moreover, the daughter of the Lu family is famous for being virtuous and will not be jealous. I remember that it should be the aunt of Miss Lu who married the younger brother of the Patriarch He Dong to make a big house. The husband is different every night? The little concubine and lover brought more than 30 homes together."

"That's the He family, I dare bleat? I'm not afraid of her, I'm also afraid of her old bean!" Chu Xiaoxin sighed heavily: "I feel more and more that being a Justice of the Peace is not as free as before. Now I come out and drink. When I come to the Silver Moon Ballroom, all my friends who are drinking and chatting are people who are in my teens and 20s. What are you talking about? I think I have become a thirty or forty year old guy."

"Then I will take you to the United States for a while, and relax in Japan? See the exotic customs?" Song Tianyao said to Chu Xiaoxin with a smirk.

Chu Xiaoxin's eyes lit up immediately: "Really?"

"Really, I want to ask you for help before going over." Song Tianyao looked at Chu Xiaoxin.

Chu Xiaoxin leaned back on the sofa and said, "What is it? You know you won't come to see me kindly."

"Guimei is going back to Hong Kong, she will be very short of money. I have talked with the ghost Shi Zhiyi, and he will help me take the lead in the arrangement. I want to ask Likang to guarantee a loan from HSBC." Song Tianyao voice Said to Chu Xiaoxin calmly.

Chu Xiaoxin was stunned for a moment: "Loan? I'll give it to you if you are short of money? Besides, of course, the loan is to go to the Chinese Bank. Why do you cheapen the interest? How much do you lack?"

"Two hundred thousand dollars." Song Tianyao blinked, staring at Chu Xiaoxin's stunned eyes, and said a number.
