Chapter 11 Minglou's Request

Wu Siren didn't know that Jiang Jiang's distant uncle was going to "tie" him, so he brought his newlywed wife Lan Yanzhi to the indispensable Paramount in the film and television dramas of the Republic of China.

Paramount is a comprehensive entertainment venue in Shencheng, with its full name "Parolemen Hotel Dance Hall". In 1929, the "Dahua Hotel" which opened on Gordon Road and opened a dance hall closed. There was no entertainment venue suitable for the "Northern District" in the west of Shencheng, known as the "Northern District". In 1932, businessman Gu Liancheng invested 700,000 taels of silver to buy Jing'an Temple to build a paramount hall, and named it "Parolemen" with a homonym. At the opening ceremony in 1933, Wu Tiecheng, who was then the mayor of Shencheng, personally attended the congratulations. At that time, the frequent visitor of Paramount was Zhang Hanqing. Later, the engagement ceremony between Chen Xiangmei and Chennard was also held here. The Chaplins also came here when they visited Shencheng, which shows how famous Paramount is.

"Sir, Madam, do you two have an appointment?"

A waiter stepped forward and asked.

"Someone has booked a private room on the second floor, and the surname is Ming, so we come to find him."

Wu Siren said with a smile.

"You are Mr. Wu! Mr. Minglou has been waiting for a long time, please come with me."

The waiter led Wu Siren and his wife to the door of the box and left politely. Wu Siren pushed open the wooden door of the box, and Minglou and Mingcheng immediately stood up to greet him.

"It's really a big change. I didn't expect that after seeing you for many years, Sai Ren became so heroic."

Minglou hugged Wu Saren enthusiastically and asked Lan Yanzhi to sit down.

"haven't seen you for a long time!"

Mingcheng also stepped forward and hugged Wu Siren. Although his words were short, they were full of concern.

"Your wedding is because Mingcheng and I have something to do temporarily and cannot participate. My elder sister can only transfer the gifts to you. I am really sorry."

Minglou filled the wine glasses in front of Wu Sairen and Lan Yanzhi with red wine, and said apologetically.

"Brother, you and my brother, don't be so disgusted. I didn't see Mingtai at the last wedding. What is he doing now?"

Wu Siren was deeply impressed by Mingtai in his memory. He was a guy who was very flirting with nonsense.

"The eldest sister sent him to study in Xiangjiang. The boy wanted to stay in Shencheng at that time, but was taught a lesson by the eldest sister, so he left reluctantly."

Mingcheng probably recalled Mingtai's embarrassing appearance at that time and said knowingly.

"I originally wanted to take revenge on this guy, but he bullied me a lot back then."

Wu Siren raised his glass and took a sip of red wine, and joked with a smile.

"Mingtai is probably not as good as you with one hand, but now he is much more mature and steady, and he is no longer as ignorant as he was when he was a child."

Minglou, the diamond king, sighed at the change of time and chuckled.

Wu Siren handed Lan Yanzhi an apple he had just peeled, turned around and smiled, "Brother, you might as well say anything. Our two families are family friends, and I have no choice but to define it."

Minglou glanced at Mingcheng and asked, "I heard that when Uncle Wu left for a few days, he would take your father-in-law and his family back to San Francisco. I wonder if he could take his elder sister and Mingtai away at that time."

"This is absolutely fine. Our family has many industries in the Americas. My elder sister used to give her a newspaper and a film company under my name to manage. I can also arrange for him to go to Columbia University directly. I just don't know what my elder sister thought and would like to leave Shencheng."

Regarding this small matter, Wu Siren just needs to inform his father Wu Yuanliang. He is happy to see Mingjing, a strong woman, come to the United States to help share Wu Yuanliang's pressure. The Wu family has many sunrise industries in North America.

"I have the final say in the Ming family. Sister will listen to me." Minglou said confidently.

Wu Siren really wanted to complain, "Brother, don't set up flags randomly, be careful to suffer bad consequences. In the original plot, Mingjing beats the three brothers of the Ming family all the way."

Wu Siren promised: "As long as my elder sister agrees, I will make arrangements immediately. The current situation is turbulent, and Japan is eyeing China. Sooner or later, there will be a battle, and it will be safer to leave Shencheng."

Minglou also echoed the sadness of spring and autumn when he heard this. Mingcheng suddenly asked from the side: "Xi Ren, what do you think of the Red Party that has always advocated stopping civil war and resolutely resisting Japan's invasion?"

Wu Siren said sincerely: "The leaders of the Red Party are a group of great patriots with ideals and ambitions. Unfortunately, the Wu family has great achievements and needs too much concern and cannot fight with these ambitious people. However, one day in the future, the Red Party will move towards the battlefield against Japanese invaders, and I will definitely provide help within my ability."

Wu Siren, who knows the future direction, feels that he will help the motherland more outside the Party and lacks a lot of constraints. He can let go of his hands and feet and do something big.

Mingcheng wanted to say something, but was stopped by Minglou.

"A few of us big men just care about greetings on our own, neglecting our younger brothers and sisters. We don't have to be polite if we want to eat."

Minglou is gentle and elegant, giving people the feeling of spring breeze, which makes Lan Yanzhi's favorability increase even though she knows that the other party has ulterior motives.

"Brother Minglou, you guys are talking to you, it's also very interesting to listen to me next to you."

Several people started to talk about love, flowers, snow and moon, no longer touched on sensitive issues, and they had a great conversation.

Two hours later, everyone was overjoyed and ended the party. Mingcheng went downstairs to settle the bill first. When he left the box, Wu Siren caught a familiar figure and said to Minglou: "Brother, you go first. Yanzhi is here for the first time to come to Paramount. I am going to take her downstairs to dance for a while before going home."

"Okay, brother won't be with you anymore. See you some other day!"

"goodbye!"

Looking at Minglou's figure moving away, Wu Siren whispered to Lan Yanzhi: "Madam, you go downstairs and wait for me first. I'll do something and go find you later."

Lan Yanzhi did not ask the reason and instructed: "Be careful in everything!"

When he arrived in a hidden corner, Wu Sairen knocked a passing waiter out from behind, then quickly changed into the other party's clothes, tidied up, and then held a bottle of red wine to knock on the wooden door of the innermost box on the left.

"Guest, the red wine you ordered has arrived."

"Yoxi, it seems that Feng Sang ordered us when he was leaving. Take the wine in!"

A Japanese man opened the door and reached out to pick up the red wine from Wu Saren's hand.

Bang!

Wu Siren smashed the neck bones of the Japanese who were receiving the wine with a knife.

"Baga, who are you?"

The remaining two people in the box began to touch their waists, trying to pull out their guns.

Click! Click!

Wu Siren quickly stepped forward, and in just two moves, he broke the necks of the two Japanese who were about to pull out the gun. He quickly shrank from the three bodies and took away all the cash and three pistols, without even letting go of the watch. Wu Siren took away a document from his briefcase and left.

He closed the door and quickly changed his clothes back. Wu Siren then swayed to the first floor.

"Is the matter done?" Lan Yanzhi asked in a low voice.
