On the opening day of "Die Lian Hua", Huang Weitian invited several guests to cut the ribbon. These people who came to cut the ribbon were carefully considered by her and Chen Yibin, like Zou Fengmei, the daughter of Zou Shixiong, the warlord of the five southeastern provinces at that time. , her husband is also a senior general in the Southeast Warlords.
People like Zou Fengmei would not easily attend ordinary occasions. Because of Li Shaoyong's relationship, Huang Weitian often played mahjong with them. Playing in Zou Fengmei's game also represented her gradual entry into Southeast Asia. Regarding the relationship with the warlord, she was a young woman with no political ambitions, and she could only provide some convenience in Pingcheng under the rule of the warlord.
Like today, because of Zou Fengmei's presence and Wang Shouyun's relationship, there were naturally some soldiers to maintain order at the scene. Li Shaoyong, as Huang Weitian's husband, stood at the door to help receive guests, and Wang Shouyun also sat in the teahouse opposite to help maintain security on the scene.
In fact, Chen Yibing and Huang Weitian have already arranged the patrol room in this area, but the presence of Wang Shouyun and others is more to show the strength of "Die Lianhua", so that the local ruffians dare not come up to cause trouble.
For this purpose, Huang Weitian also specially invited another of her friends, Shen Lanlan, the third concubine of Zhang Shaobai, the second largest figure in the underworld in Pingcheng. Shen Lanlan was also met by Huang Weitian at Zou Fengmei's card game, because Huang Wei Tian always had a great time losing money and playing happily, so she made friends with several ladies who were close to her in Zou Fengmei's poker game.
Shen Lanlan has a sweet appearance. She was originally a young lady from the family of an old teacher. Because she was beautiful, the family had been waiting for a price until Zhang Shaobai saw her and hired her as his third concubine. Now she is the favorite of the Zhang family. Mrs.
After Shen Lanlan married Zhang Shaobai, she also spoke with a bit of Bai Xiangren's atmosphere, but she also said softly and softly: "My sister opens a shop, so I naturally want to support her, and I also told my master that I will let the people below grow up. Dim Sum, don’t be offended here.”
Huang Weitian naturally thanked her profusely, and promised that she would ask the third concubine to take a look at the new models first. The third concubine was naturally happy.
The third person Huang Weitian invited was Xiao Qiuyue, an actress who has recently become famous in Pingcheng. Xiao Qiuyue was the concubine of the underworld tycoon Zhou Yongcheng at the time. Zhou Yongcheng loved her very much and sent bodyguards to follow her whenever she went out. Whenever she had a performance, she would ask the newspaper to give her more publicity. Later, she even renovated an old theater so that Xiao Qiuyue could perform there, and every performance was always full.
However, when people in Pingcheng mentioned Zhou Yongcheng and Xiao Qiuyue at that time, they would all say that Zhou Yongcheng was confused. For pampering a woman from another family to this extent, wouldn't all sensible people say that Zhou Yongcheng was confused.
The fourth person to cut the ribbon was the wife of Song Shizhong, then president of Central Bank. Central Bank was the largest bank in China and a bank with official origins. Before the issuance and cashing of money were disrupted by later governments, it was China’s largest bank. Banks with the highest dominance and large and medium-sized enterprises want to get loans, in addition to private capital, they all want to get help from central banks first. Mrs. Song's appearance is naturally for the sake of the second brother Chen Yibing. Although Song Shizhong is He is the president of Central Bank, but the real person in charge is his second brother Chen Jiaxing.
Chen Yibing’s second sister-in-law spends all her energy playing mahjong and smoking cigarettes all day long. She basically doesn’t consider useful social activities like this, so in the future, the important social activities of the second brother’s family may shift to Chen Yibing. of.
Huang Weitian and Chen Yibing each occupied the position of a ribbon-cutting person. When the auspicious time came, amidst the sound of firecrackers, the six people cut out the red colored balls, and the signboard of "Die Lian Hua" was officially installed in Zhenguo Temple. The road appeared.
A group of Huang Weitian's rich lady friends poured into the store and began to select clothes. Naturally, they didn't care about the store's opening discount, they just wanted to help Huang Weitian gain popularity.
The reporter took a picture of them cutting the ribbon outside, and it is expected to be on the headlines tomorrow. It will be easy to get things done after accepting money from Chen Yibing and the others.
At noon, they specially set up a banquet at a nearby time-honored restaurant to treat these girls and ladies to dinner. Shen Lanlan and Zou Fengmei were dining at the same table as Huang Weitian and Chen Yibing. Before they finished eating, they saw a tall man The man knocked on the door and came in. Shen Lanlan looked back and called out softly: "Master."
The person who can be called "Master" by the third aunt is naturally Zhang Shaobai, the future number one in Pingcheng Baixiangren. Chen Yibing and the others stood up. Li Shaoyong and Wang Shouyun were also at the table, and they were the first to greet them. Wang Shouyun obviously I am more familiar with Zhang Shaobai, so I went up to say a few words of greetings to Zhang Shaobai. Zhang Shaobai smiled with his thin lips and said, "I can't come to see you because you are holding the place."
Zou Fengmei said from the side: "Zihan hasn't appeared in our card games to play with us for a long time. Is it because you forget things?"
Zhang Shaobai's narrow eyes showed a little smile at this time, and he said: "There is always one person in our family who plays with Sister Fengmei. Isn't that enough? Do we have to play together to win all your gold bars?" ”
Zou Fengmei was so amused by him that she said, "If Zihan came in person, I would be happy to win everything." Her eyes flickered and she looked around Zhang Shaobai, which was meaningful.
Zhang Shaobai looked back at her and said only: "I will definitely."
Everyone chatted with Zhang Shaobai. Most of the people present knew him. Only Chen Yibing was a stranger. Wang Shouyun introduced them. Zhang Shaobai said: "I am still your reader. , when I first read your article in the "Daily", I was thinking about what a 'stranger' would be like, and I was not disappointed when I saw it today."
Chen Yiping was wearing a moon-blue cheongsam and a green jade bracelet. She looked beautiful and noble. When she heard Zhang Shaobai praise her like this, she just smiled reservedly.
Zhang Shaobai stretched out his hand to Chen Yibin. Chen Yibin followed suit and immediately stretched out his hand to shake it. He felt that Zhang Shaobai's palm was dry and his fingertips were a little cold, but his grip was steady and strong. He smiled at Chen Yibin: "When I know you are Chen Jiaxing’s sister, I even told him, ‘No one in your Chen family is given free money.’”
Chen Yiping said politely: "It's just a little girl's sorrow. She can't go to the elegant hall, but it makes you laugh."
Zhang Shaobai said: "Don't be modest. I'm a rough person and can't read the literate things. I feel comfortable reading your article. I see literature like a human being." He also glanced at Wang Shouyun and said: " When I followed Qing to Shafer and came back, I heard him praise Chen Jiucheng's sister as being very amazing."
Chen Yibing glanced at Wang Shouyun and saw Wang Shouyun say: "Brother Zihan, don't talk about people behind their backs."
Zhang Shaobai smiled: "I didn't say this behind my back, I said it to my face."
Wang Shouyun said: "Isn't this still a penalty? A drink is the real thing." After that, he poured a glass of wine for Zhang Shaobai. Zhang Shaobai took the glass and poured it into his stomach like drinking water, and drank three glasses in a row. His expression did not change at all, and he even said to Chen Yibing: "I have already said hello to the people below you. If there is anyone who dares to bother you, just tell me."
Chen Yibing and Huang Weitian expressed their gratitude to him. Zhang Shaobai waved his hands and said that it was not worth mentioning. He led Shen Lanlan and said goodbye to everyone, saying that next time we would gather two tables of mahjong and have fun together.
When Chen Yibing and Huang Weitian went to settle the bill, the shopkeeper said: "Uncle Zhang just now has settled the money."
Chen Yibing had no interaction with Zhang Shaobai in her previous life. After this brief interaction in this life, she feels that this person is worthy of being the number one person in the underworld in Pingcheng for decades in the future. He has his own way of dealing with people. A character who can play tricks on everyone.
Xiao Qiuyue was also invited because of Huang Weitian's relationship. After the ribbon-cutting, she was surrounded by Zhou Yongcheng's bodyguards and left without even attending the banquet. Huang Weitian also muttered to Chen Yiping: "Then Zhou Yongcheng is fifty An old man who is many years old, Xiao Qiuyue is only twenty years old, how can she face Zhou Yongcheng's old face full of wrinkles?"
Huang Weitian added: "I heard that Zhou Yongcheng wanted to take Xiao Qiuyue into his home. Xiao Qiuyue didn't want to go, so she used the excuse of wanting to be the first wife to embarrass Zhou Yongcheng. Zhou Yongcheng also had trouble with this, so he treated Xiao Qiuyue Qiuyue keeps an eye on her very closely. If I hadn't borrowed her reputation, I wouldn't have invited her here."
This is what Huang Weitian and Chen Yibing were chatting about. Unexpectedly, a few days later, the newspaper published a report that "Zhou Yongcheng divorced his first wife Xue Renai and will soon marry Xiao Qiuyue." Huang Weitian looked at it The newspaper also said: "Zhou Yongcheng must be old and confused this time. His first wife also made great contributions to him. For the sake of a new love, he doesn't consider the past feelings at all."
Not only Huang Weitian said this about Zhou Yongcheng's divorce, but the people in Pingcheng also generally thought that Zhou Yongcheng was stupid.
But Xue Renai did not take any money and proposed to leave the house. This result was really beyond everyone's expectation, because Xue Renai always kept a close eye on Zhou Yongcheng's house. Zhou Yongcheng didn't even have a concubine in his house, which shows how powerful she was. In the end, Xue Renai didn't even want a cent. She cleans herself up and leaves the house. This clean and tidy attitude makes people who know her say that she is straightforward. She is worthy of being the "Sister-in-law Zhou" back then. She is still so courageous. People who don't know her say that she is too stupid. How much wealth does Zhou Yongcheng have? , she only needs a little of it, which is enough for her to live in the next life, and she actually leaves the house like this.
Zhou Yongcheng's divorce case suddenly became one of the most talked-about news among Pingcheng people after dinner. It attracted more attention than the news about the love interest of singers at that time. But these have nothing to do with the busy Chen Yibin and Huang Weitian, they are just chatting after dinner.
'Die Lian Hua' has just opened, and although the business has not yet fully opened up, the sales of both cheongsam and dresses are pretty good. Dresses are usually bought by foreign wives and new-style girls in Pingcheng, while cheongsams are more popular. Many women come to customize.
There are not many high-end handmade cheongsam customization shops in Pingcheng. The scale of the two that existed before was not as big as that of Dielianhua. In addition, Chen Yiping and Huang Weitian’s prices for dresses are not very high, so they usually come to the store. Customers who came to visit would visit the first and second floors together, so the number of customers gradually increased.
The weekend came again, and Chen Yibing still went to Bianshi to visit A Guang. Since the last time he mentioned that he would pick up A Guang to live in Pingcheng and got such an answer, Chen Yibing never mentioned it again. That day, he went to the Lu family and told Mr. Lu that he would take A Guang with him. Aguang went to Pingcheng for a day stroll.
Master Lu opened his mouth and agreed, but Mrs. Lu was very unhappy. She kept saying that she would take care of this and that for A Guang. If she really did what she said, she would not be able to go out at night.
Aguang is also very forgetful. He was very happy just thinking about going to Pingcheng for a day. He did not consider the mood of Mrs. Lu, so he was very happy and went to Pingcheng with Chen Yibing. After entering the city, Aguang leaned against the car window and looked hard at the world outside the window. He kept asking her what this was and what that was, and his little mouth kept talking.
At noon, Chen Yiping specially took him to a Western restaurant opened by a Frenchman for dinner. For Aguang, no matter how delicious the food was, this strange Western food made him feel more knowledgeable. Chen Yiping also specially found a corner Inside, he taught A Guang how to use a knife and fork in a low voice. Fortunately, A Guang was still fresh about Western food, and he learned it with great interest. He quickly mastered the skills, and the plate squeaked loudly as he cut.
At this moment, a voice sounded above Chen Yibing, "Jiahe?" She looked up and saw Wang Shouyun.
Wang Shouyun came alone in his regular clothes. Chen Yibing quickly greeted him and said to A Guang: "A Guang, this is Uncle Wang."
A Guang was still very good in this regard. He opened his eyes and called Wang Shouyun. His white and fat look made Wang Shouyun feel very strange. He touched A Guang's head and said: "This The child looks like Zhijie’s."
Chen Yiping replied: "Well, it looks more like it when I grow up."
Wang Shouyun suddenly felt that he had brought up the wrong topic, so he awkwardly changed the subject and said, "Why did you two go out to eat?"
Chen Yibing explained that he had brought A Guang to Pingcheng to see things, and invited Wang Shouyun to have dinner with him. He thought that Wang Shouyun had another meal, but it turned out that Wang Shouyun was just taking care of food and clothing by himself, so he sat down , ordered another steak next to A Guang, and ate with the two of them.
The two adults drank a little red wine. A Guang looked curious and kept asking what this was and what that was. Wang Shouyun had a good temper and kept explaining his 'why' to A Guang gently. Look Chen Yiping felt emotional in her heart.
Wang Shouyun saw that Chen Yibing was not speaking, so he asked: "Why don't you speak?"
Chen Yiping said: "I see you and A Guang getting along so well, it's just a sigh of relief."
Wang Shouyun said: "Yes, Zhijie and I are the same age. His son is already so old, but I am still alone."
Chen Yiping comforted him that there were so many famous ladies waiting for him to see, and said: "Last time at Huang Weitian's wedding, Miss Sun Xijing from the oil tycoon's family even asked about you."
Wang Shouyun smiled slightly and said: "I am now frightened by these arrogant girls."
Chen Yiping really didn't know how to comfort him. She couldn't open her mouth to comment on other people's family affairs. She only said: "Everything will be fine. I am a woman and I can survive it. You are a man and you can do it."
Wang Shouyun sighed. He and Yang Ranran have been divorced for some time. Except for a few words with Li Shaoyong, he has never mentioned it to anyone else. This kind of topic of love between children is not suitable for the military, and Yang Ranran and As soon as Shao Xing's affair was reported by the tabloids, everyone spread the news. Although he and Yang Ranran were divorced, the looks from everyone made him not want to mention these things.
On the other hand, Wang Shouyun was not unfamiliar with Chen Yibing when she was at her worst. When the two of them talked about this kind of thing, he actually relaxed and said: "Sometimes I really don't know what a woman is. What do you think?"
