Chapter 61
Shanghai, the largest city in the Far East.
Even more so at this time, Tokyo is far inferior to this dazzling city in the East.
Although many people know that the prosperity of this city is actually due to the national economic recession, for Shanghai in this era, being able to live in this city and settle down here is undoubtedly a blessing.
The most proud thing.
Paramount Ballroom.
Gorgeous neon lights highlight the splendor of this city. Pedestrians bump into the red and green lights that will flash all night long. Ten miles of foreign venues are secretly looking at each other with drunken eyes. Under the strange lights, it is difficult to distinguish between real and fake prosperity and luxury. Classic cars are swaying on the streets.
It couldn't even catch up with the laughter of the dancers at the door of the ballroom.
Suits and leather shoes, beaded and jade walking sticks, sparkling crystals and brilliant tourmalines.
Those who can appear here are either rich or noble.
Some regular customers here were welcomed in by the waiters guarding the door with smiles, nods and bows as soon as they got off the bus. In exchange for such humility, they received two slightly old-looking oceans.
Chen Nian came to the door without any obstruction.
Although he had never been to such a place, his pride from nearly a hundred years later made him look extremely confident.
Even the waiters thought for a moment that this might be the young master of some family.
He also bowed and welcomed Chen Nian in.
I have learned from old age, and after throwing away two oceans, I became more respectful to convenience.
I found a relatively secluded corner and sat down while ordering a glass of foreign wine and sipping it carefully.
The aged one is brandy.
But for some reason, it always has a rubbery taste when I drink it after drinking it for a long time.
Sure enough, our own Zhuyeqing and rice wine are better tasting.
The old face looks smooth, but in my heart I have already complained about this foreign wine, which makes me completely scratched.
He came to see Sisi.
I said before that I would come and take a look, but I didn't expect it would be so long apart.
The singers on the stage changed one after another.
Even today Chen Nian was extremely lucky to see Yao Li, the popular singer who sang "roses, roses".
"Rose Rose is the most beautiful
Roses roses are the most beautiful
Long summer blooms on the branches
Rose Rose I love you”
...
I have to say that it makes sense for the singers of this era to be popular, at least the gold content is really too high.
But after she finished singing this song, Chen Nian heard the music again.
It's really sweet music.
Yao Li continued to sing on top. What needs to be admitted is that the sweetness of the other person's singing was equally pleasant, but for some reason, Chen Nian suddenly felt a little upset.
Drink all the wine in the glass in one gulp.
It's spicy and feels like eating a big piece of rubber.
“Good drinker!”
At this moment, Chen Nian suddenly heard a voice, which was a little artificial. He looked up and saw a woman with heavy makeup coming towards him.
It was obvious that she was the one who spoke just now, but at this moment, Chen Nian looked at her with a somewhat... shy look?
"What do you call this gentleman?"
The other party swayed his waist, walked over with two glasses of wine, came to Chen Nian's side, put down one of the glasses, and then asked.
"Aged, aged vinegar."
"Puch...he is obviously a handsome young man, but he has such an old name."
There was no fluctuation on Chen Nian's face, and he even felt a little bored.
Why do the same words sound different when spoken by different people?
"My parents started it. Besides, I think it's pretty good." Chen Nian still remained indifferent.
The other party was obviously more interested because of his old indifference, and she was even more certain that this must be a young master from a wealthy family. Otherwise, her appearance would not make the other party even bother to reply seriously.
"By the way, my name is Wan'er. I sang on the stage just now. How did you feel?"
When Chen Nian heard this, he thought, had this woman sang there again just now?
I was just observing the surrounding environment, not paying much attention to it, and I also took a few more glances at Chen Nian, who was singing beautifully just now. As for me not having any impression of this woman, it was probably because of my limited ability and mediocre quality.
"not bad."
But after all, we are adults, so even if we have no impression, we should at least say a perfunctory word.
But just as Chen Nian finished speaking, a question suddenly occurred to him!
If Wan'er was singing on stage just now, wouldn't it mean that she is also an employee of Paramount?
And since everyone is singing, they should know Sisi!
When Wan'er heard the words "not bad", she thought on the spot that Chen Nian was finally starting to be interested in her, so she looked at Chen Nian with some enthusiasm: "Then Mr. Chen thinks that in this Paramount, besides
Besides Sister Yao, who sings the best?"
She just waited for Chen Nian to say her name, and then took advantage of the situation to get close to the other person's arms and be tender for a while.
After all, such a handsome man is rare even in Paramount.
There is a hint of heroism in his scholarly attitude, but the faintly bulging muscles that can be seen only after getting closer indicate that this person is not just a show-off.
If things go well, maybe we can have a romantic relationship tonight.
In the living room, Chen Nian said without thinking about the other party's question:
"Sisi."
This made Wan'er, who was about to come over, stunned on the spot.
Are you talking nice about another woman in front of this woman?
Just now when she was singing on stage, she fell in love with Chen Nian. She deliberately cheered herself up after getting off the stage and then came over with two glasses of wine.
Is it a man?
Wan'er was extremely embarrassed now. If she hadn't been wearing high heels, she would have wanted to cut a tunnel with her toes and fly to the United States on the other side of the world.
"Ha...haha...Mr. Chen, have you heard Sisi singing at Paramount before?"
"No, but I heard it elsewhere." Chen Nian looked at the other person and said with a chuckle.
"This man is damn charming! But why did he fall in love with Sisi? Isn't my mother bad?" Wan'er's heart was bleeding, but now she didn't know what reason to find to leave.
"Indeed, Sisi's singing is very nice, especially the sweet song she sang before. According to her, a friend gave her the song, but we asked her who it was, but she refused to tell us, so, we
I guess that person must have a different relationship with him."
Wan'er is still trying to get over the fire, wanting Chen Nian to think that Sisi already has someone else and give up.
But this song was given to me by Chen Nian, and I knew very well that this was just an exchange between everyone.
"Then why haven't you seen her recently?" Chen Nian asked suddenly. After going around in circles for a while, he finally asked what he wanted to ask the most.
Wan'er looked at Chen Nian and wanted to say that Sisi might have run away with some unknown man.
But in the end, when the words came to her lips, they turned into the truth she knew.
"About a few months ago, Sisi was spotted by Boss Huang and wanted Na Sisi as his concubine, but Sisi refused to agree. Finally, Sisi went to Boss Sheng, the boss of our Paramount store.
In the end, Boss Sheng told the public that Sisi was unwell and had returned to her hometown to recuperate. But we all knew that this was Boss Sheng hiding Sisi. Boss Sheng was very protective of her shortcomings. Boss Huang had no choice but to give up, but in private
