Back to the Republic of China to open a department store

Early the next morning, Luo Xiazhi waited in front of Gu Hanlin's small villa, but Li Ye was nowhere to be seen.

At about eight o'clock, Liang Shaolong called and said that Li Ye drank too much yesterday and couldn't get up today, so he told him not to wait.

Luo Xiazhi looked back at Gu Hanlin in surprise, and the latter thought for a while and said, you go to Luo Mansion first, we will meet at the department store.

Looking at Gu Hanlin's dark eyes, Luo Xiazhi returned to the Luo mansion with unexplained worries.

Here, he was warmly welcomed by the whole family as soon as he entered the door. Over there, Gu Hanlin went out, picked up a shovel that was placed at the door of his small villa, and walked two steps.

In the spring, he wanted to plant some flowers and plants in the yard, but there were too many things to do and he couldn't do it himself, so he invited the gardener to take care of it regularly. This should have been left at the door after the gardener finished his work yesterday.

Holding the shovel, he took two steps. Gu Hanlin looked back and thought: the movement is too loud and the impact is not good.He put the shovel back where it was, then turned around and picked up a brick, hid it in a cloth bag with a bamboo handle that was usually used to hold books, wrapped the bag in his arms, and went out to call a rickshaw.

There are only a few hotels that Liang Shaolong often rents, either the Huamao Hotel or the Yangtze Hotel. He dislikes the Peace Hotel where there are many foreigners, and every time he goes out, he is always singing "birds" so he doesn't like to stay.

Gu Hanlin decided to go to Huamao first, and if that didn't work, he would move to the Yangtze Hotel.

He was lucky, got out of the rickshaw, went straight to Liang Shaolong's private room, and only pressed the doorbell a few times before he heard an impatient answer from inside.

"Who? I didn't order room service..."

Wearing a casual satin pajamas, Liang Shaolong opened the door sleepily with half of his chest open, and said in a vicious voice.

"cousin!"

Liang Shaolong turned pale with shock.

Gu Hanlin pushed him away expressionlessly and walked in.

In the living room of the suite, there were wine glasses scattered all over the place, as well as the leftovers from last night's dinner, and torn clothes were scattered on the sofa.

Looking at the gray shirt and khaki trousers on the back of the sofa, Gu Hanlin's expression changed.

Yesterday at the train station, Li Ye was wearing this outfit!

He turned his head and saw that the door of the bedroom was ajar, he pushed it in regardless of Liang Shaolong's stop.

A mess of things proclaimed the "battle situation" in this room last night. On the big bed to the south, there was a person lying on the other side, and a neat short hair was exposed from the corner of the quilt.

The man seemed to be terrified, he could see the shivering back under such a thick quilt.

"cousin……"

Liang Shaolong rushed into the bedroom with a few steps, and saw Gu Hanlin standing there stiffly.

He licked his lips in embarrassment, and just as he was about to say something, he felt a golden light in front of him first, and then a sharp pain hit his forehead.Then he lost consciousness directly and fell straight backward on the thick carpet.

"Get dressed and come out."

Gu Hanlin shook the brick in his hand, turned his head and said to the people inside.

Then he grabbed Liang Shaolong's ankle and dragged him, a tall man of 1.8 meters, into the living room like a garbage bag.

The person inside is naturally Li Ye who was sent by Luo Xiazhi to chase him yesterday.

Because the clothes were left in the living room, and he didn't dare to come out to get them, finally Li Ye had no choice but to come out in only his pajamas.

The man standing outside used to be his principal, and the reverence for the teacher in his bones made him try his best to tighten the belt and pull the left and right pieces of fabric together as much as possible.

After all, the clothes were not for sitting upright. He crossed his arms and walked out cautiously, but two bare legs were still exposed underneath.Wearing a white robe, he trembled pitifully, like a heron standing in the wind.

Throwing the unconscious Liang Shaolong into the living room, Gu Hanlin ignored him.

I checked the living room and did not see a cold kettle.There was a bottle of red wine on the coffee table that was opened and hadn't had time to drink—although at this moment he really wanted to have a glass to get himself drunk instead of continuing to deal with these messy things.

Gathered the clothes hanging on the sofa to the side, found an empty place to sit down, saw Li Ye's embarrassed look from the corner of his eyes, he sighed secretly again, maybe the one who fainted now might be happier .

If possible, he would also like to switch positions with the evil Liang Shaolong.

"He forced you?"

He sat down and posed the first question.

Li Ye was taken aback, and shook his head as he folded his clothes.

Gu Hanlin finally breathed a sigh of relief, and kicked the bricks under his feet farther away.

"you like him?"

He looked at the child's pitiful appearance and asked the second question.

Then he saw Li Ye showing a confused expression.

"do not like?"

he asked.

"I... don't hate it."

Li Ye chooses words carefully.

"No... so 'hate'... huh..."

added again.

Not "like", just "less 'hate'".

Gu Hanlin suddenly sympathized with the guy lying on the ground.

"Did we drink together yesterday?"

Gu Hanlin saw that the cups and plates on the table were messed up.

"Um……"

Li Ye lowered his head, like a middle school student caught by the dean who played truant to do bad things.

"How old is this year?"

Gu Hanlin leaned back on the sofa wearily. He remembered that he was only 13 years old when he saw this child for the first time.

When Luo Xiazhi brought him to his office, he could only speak Chongming's rural dialect, let alone Mandarin, and even stumbled in Shanghai dialect.

And at that time, Liang Shaolong was already a big bastard who spent every night in sensuality.His uncle was still alive at that time, the "Qinglongtang" was still there, and Mr. Liang, the tailor king, was still Young Master Liang. He didn't know the sufferings of the world and caused trouble everywhere.

"After 21 years old..."

Shanghai people pay attention to false age, and children are born one year old.Some people are unlucky and born at the end of the year, so they will be two years old after the new year.

"brute……"

When Gu Hanlin scolded this sentence, his tone was exactly the same as that of his father, Mr. Gu, when he knew he had a boyfriend.

Luo Xiazhi once said with a smile that when he was with him, he was destined not to have a child of his own.He raised Li Ye and Xiaoxiao as if he was raising a son and a daughter. Thinking about it this way, he was very happy, and he also experienced the joy of raising cubs.

I don't know if Luo Xiazhi would be happy if he knew that his "son" had been slept by Liang Shaolong, and his "daughter" was so focused on running away from home to do things...

"Does Luo Xiazhi know that you like men?"

He expected he didn't know.

Li Ye shook his head.

really.

"You... want him to know?"

Hearing this, Li Ye's face turned pale, and his head shook like a rattle.It seems that getting Luo Xiazhi to know about this matter is more unbearable than being caught by Gu Hanlin on the spot about his relationship with Liang Shaolong.

"No, principal, don't tell the third master, please...please..."

Li Ye knelt down with a "slap", and his bare knees hit the carpet directly.

"It's okay, Xia Zhi and I are too... You know, he won't discriminate against you."

Sexual orientation is something that can't be changed. Seeing his helpless appearance, Gu Hanlin just assumed that he didn't know his relationship with Luo Xiazhi, and he was afraid that he would think that Luo Xiazhi would look down on him after learning about his orientation.

"I know, I've seen the matter between the third master and the principal a long time ago. But please, the principal, don't tell the third master, I really beg the principal!"

Li Ye was so flustered that he was about to cry. The last time he knelt and begged for help like this was when he was 13 years old. He knelt in the living room of "Yingzhou Xiaozhu" on Chongming Island and kowtowed three times to Mr. Luo.Then he was taken from that isolated island to the bustling big Shanghai by the third master.

Gu Hanlin sighed, "Understood, I won't tell him, don't worry."

He turned around and stood up, handing the clothes on the sofa to Li Ye.

"Hurry up and get dressed, your third master is still waiting for you in the department store... Do you want to work in the department store in the future?"

Li Ye took the clothes, kept saying "thank you", and walked quickly into the bedroom.

"stand up!"

Seeing that the bedroom door was closed, Gu Hanlin kicked Liang Shaolong, who was lying dead on the ground, with the upper of his shoe without even raising his eyelids.

Liang Shaolong blinked, covered his head and sat up grinning, "Cousin, you are too ruthless. What did you use to hit me?"

While talking, he saw the red brick under the coffee table that was bigger than his palm, and his expression changed, "You hit me with a brick? I'm your cousin!"

"Aren't you dead? You have rough skin and thick flesh."

Gu Hanlin kicked him again in a ruthless manner, making him jump up, "I know how much effort I used."

Liang Shaolong thought it was a matter of course, you had calculated well when you stabbed someone.

"what do you say?"

He pouted towards the bedroom.

"Drank too much……"

Liang Shaolong clutched his chest, his expression was three parts sober, three parts dazed, and four parts perplexed.To be honest, he didn't even know how he ended up with this kid.It's like drinking first, then fighting, then...

Looking at his expression, Gu Hanlin knew that it was a waste of time to ask him, but he was not reconciled to being given "a dog" to "a dog" and "arch" for him and Li Ye's "son"—you must know that he had known Liang Shaolong all his life. I never knew he liked men!

"you like him?"

When asked this question, he himself did not believe it.

"Um……"

Liang Shaolong scratched the back of his head, his face full of discomfort, he hummed a note like a mosquito.

Surprised.

"He doesn't like you..."

To be honest, thinking of Li Ye's expression just now, he began to sympathize with this "dog".

"I know, I was awake just now, and I heard everything."

Liang Shaolong said indifferently, "Everyone is an adult, what's the matter, do we have to be together? That's it. You give me the clothes, and I'll sit on your ass."

As he spoke, he simply walked over and pulled out the twisted clothes from under Gu Hanlin's body.When I pulled it out, I saw that it was as wrinkled as a pickle skin, and I couldn't put it on at all.

"Forget it, let's wear new ones later."

He threw his clothes on the ground again, touched the back of his swollen head, and walked into the bathroom with a painful expression on his face.

If it weren't for the tone of being too lonely, Gu Hanlin might have believed that he really didn't care.

"Hey...what's this called...you have to hide it from Xia Zhi."

Gu Hanlin raised his head and covered his forehead with one hand, feeling that his body was being hollowed out.

----------------

At less than a quarter of ten o'clock, the three of them rushed directly to Shimai Department Store, and Luo Xiazhi and a group of guests had been waiting there for a long time.

Today is the first day of the "Tianwaitian Wireless Broadcasting Station"'s official opening, and the first scheduled program will start at ten o'clock, hosted by Luo Xiazhi himself.

Standing in front of the flowery stage on the seventh floor, holding champagne and chatting happily with the distinguished guests, Luo Xiazhi showed a worried expression when he saw these people who were late.

Li Ye lowered his head and walked quickly behind Luo Xiazhi, because his pace was too hasty to reach an unspeakable part, he frowned in pain, and then called softly: Third Lord...

"What happened to you and Liang Shaolong? What happened to his head?"

Luo Xiazhi asked in surprise as Liang Shaolong shrank to the corner of the wall as soon as he entered the door, his head was still wrapped in a bandage.

"There was... a fight."

Li Ye replied with a guilty conscience.

"All right……"

Seeing how difficult it was for him to move, Luo Xia thought to himself that the battle was quite intense.

How did he know that this "fight" was not that "fight"...

"Now, please invite our Mr. Luo to unveil the 'Tianwaitian Radio Station'!"

Standing in front of the microphone on the stage next to the glass curtain wall, Xiao Feiyan in a golden cheongsam applauded and said.

As usual, below are her crazy "Aifei Fan Club". The men vigorously danced the flower cards and gave excited applause.

After handing over the champagne to Li Ye, Luo Xiazhi stepped onto the stage amidst all the attention and waved to everyone.

"Master Luo! Allah, 'Jiao Guan (very)' Huan Xi Nong!"

There was another wave of screams from under the stage. Luo Xiazhi looked down and found that there were a few "Mi Xia" flower cards scattered among the "Love Fly" flower cards, which made him drip a drop of cold sweat.

Regardless of the size of the flower cards, why are all the people holding the flower cards and screaming are elderly aunts and uncles... Is the age of his fans so "mature"?

The reporters raised their spotlights and cameras, and shot wildly at Rorschach. The long-lost appearance of the department store tycoon, far away from the social circles in Shanghai, deserves a lot of coverage!

"Master Luo, where have you been these past few months?"

"Master Luo, there are rumors that you and your elder brother are under house arrest for having an affair. Is this true?"

"Luo Sanye, may I ask if the rumor that you were poisoned and went to the doctor is true?"

The questions of the reporters became sharper one by one, and Luo Xiazhi, who had long been "battlefield-tested", kept a reserved and steady smile the whole time, and walked to the microphone in the center of the stage.

"Everyone..."

Everyone fell silent, and all looked forward to this young man who was more shining than a prince and richer than a king.

"I have one thing to announce... In a year's time, the current Roche warehouse will be replaced by a seven-story building next to the racetrack."

Luo Yunze stood on one side of the stage, looking at the young man standing under the spotlight with relief.

Such high-spiritedness, such high-spiritedness... Such an achievement before the age of 30 can only be described as a "business genius".

He still remembered that when he took him to meet the Jewish Sha Tong, the child stood in front of the office of the legendary old fox in Shanghai, his ankles trembled slightly with nervousness, and he almost fell when he entered the door. that scene.

But from the moment he stepped into that door, he started this magnificent entrepreneurial road.

Today, he is no longer a successful entrepreneur who needs a nudge from him to muster up the courage to face the world.After experiencing so many life-and-death events, he has grown up completely and become an eagle with wings spread.

"The name of that building, I will temporarily call it 'Seven Heavens International Hotel'."

Rorschach announced vigorously.

"This is not just a hotel that provides accommodation, it will include restaurants, large dance halls, bars, music salons, tea rooms, conference halls... Not only that, but also real estate and insurance projects."

If the previous few projects are not surprising to everyone, after all, Shanghai Bund already owns big hotels such as Chinachem, Heping, and Jin Jiang, but when they heard that Shimai actually extended his hand to the real estate industry and insurance and finance. After graduation, everyone at the quiet scene first exclaimed in unison, and then the reporters frantically pressed the shutter and asked questions impatiently.

"So Mr. Luo, are you planning to build this 'Seventh Heaven Hotel' if you haven't shown up in the past few months?"

"What made you consider entering the financial industry? Can the funds of Roche Commercial Bank and Shimai guarantee the simultaneous operation of so many projects?"

"Everyone, everyone..."

Luo Xiazhi pressed down with both hands, motioning everyone to lower the volume.

"The most important thing today is our opening ceremony of 'Tianwaitian'. In the glass house behind, our important guests can't wait any longer."

Behind Luo Xiazhi was a brocade rope. He held a section of the rope and pulled it down hard.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please see—"

The red curtain slowly fell to the ground, and right behind the stage, a crystal palace-like broadcasting room appeared in front of everyone.

All the staff inside were sitting there waiting for instructions with bated breath, and standing behind the golden microphone was a man with one hand on his hips, wearing a slim checkered long cheongsam, raising a cute little face like an apple, and smiling at everyone. ...

"Zou Xuan'er!! It's 'Golden Voice' Zou Xuan'er!"

Outside the glass room, everyone exclaimed.

Then, there was overwhelming applause and whistles.

Who is the hottest female star in Shanghai this year?

——Of course it's the new popular one, the "golden voice" Zou Xuan'er who is only [-] years old!

This young girl who is good at singing and writing and has a cute appearance, became popular two months ago with her wonderful performance in "Angel on the Road", and has become the first sister of her star film industry.

And the "Song of the Four Seasons" she sang in the movie has become a well-known song on the streets and alleys of Shanghai Bund, and everyone can hum a few words, regardless of age.Speaking of this "sweet sister" with a festive appearance and always smiling at the corners of her eyes, even grandparents who are not star-chasing will raise their thumbs up and praise "beautiful people and sweet songs".

As for the super beauty who was once popular all over the country, Miss Phalaenopsis, an old friend of Shimai Department Store, was married and became a woman at the beginning of the year, and she has since retired from acting, which made all movie fans very upset.It is said that at her wedding, a male movie fan who was almost in a daze broke in and acted violently.

The newly debuted Ms. Zou Xuan'er, because she is too young, is well protected by the company. Except for filming and recording albums, she seldom shows up. It is difficult for movie fans to meet each other.

Seeing her present as a guest at Shimai Department Store now, standing in front of the microphone, how can one not be excited.

"Ah, I'm so happy! I just came here today to buy a piece of floral cloth for my wife to make clothes. Just now downstairs they said that I was the hundredth customer who entered the door today, and they asked me to watch the show on the seventh floor. Originally I thought they tricked me into some kind of 'rat society', but I didn't expect to see Zou Xuan'er with my own eyes..."

A male customer with a piece of blue calico in his hand shed tears of excitement. He simply opened the package of the calico, blew his nose inside, and then continued to applaud.I'm afraid my wife will beat me to death if I don't go home.

"Can Zou Xuan'er sing today? Can I hear her singing live?"

A man holding a flower card of "Love Flying" may be about to "betray".

Under everyone's attention, Luo Xiazhi walked in through the soundproof glass door and stood beside Zou Xuan'er.

"What are they talking about? Why didn't I hear anything? Oh, it's soundproof inside, so what should we do outside?"

Just when everyone was wondering, the staff at the scene turned around and turned on the five or six radios with adjusted frequencies placed in the corner.

"Hi everyone, listeners. I'm Luo Xiazhi, the general manager of Shanghai Shimai Global Department Store."

Gu Hanlin looked at Luo Xiazhi who was waving at him in the glass room. He was clearly in front, but the voice came from the radio behind him, which felt very strange.

"Shaolong, isn't it interesting? You said that if the radio wave covers far enough, foreigners can hear it too?"

He turned around and wanted to talk to Liang Shaolong, but he saw that this guy who usually likes to join in the fun, leaned against the pillar next to him without saying a word, staring blankly at Li Ye who stayed on the stage, as if he was insane generally.

Gu Hanlin sighed secretly, thanks to the boy who always brags on weekdays, saying that he lived among the flowers and never touched himself.

Now it is really covered by a "leaf".It's the kind where he sticks it upside down and "sticks" it, which people are not very happy about.

It's really "one thing down one thing", God has arranged it all.

"Today is the first day of broadcasting of the 'Tianwaitian Radio Station' affiliated to Shimai Department Store. Today is Thursday, and it is ten o'clock in the morning. From now on, every Thursday at ten o'clock in the morning will be our "Star Golden Song" time. During this time period, you will hear the most popular singers in China, standing in the crystal glass studio on the seventh floor of Shimai Department Store, singing live songs for you."

As soon as Luo Xiazhi finished speaking, the crowd outside became commotion.

"What does Mr. Luo mean by this? He means that every Thursday from now on, there will be big singers singing live at Shimai? Are they singing here?"

"Then I will come here every Thursday to watch my favorite stars through the glass."

"I don't know if there will be a fee at that time?"

"Are you stupid, don't you want to pay for it? The most important thing is, I'm afraid you won't be able to see it even if you spend money."

A group of fans said excitedly while clutching their thumping chests outside.

What they didn't know was that there was already a group of fans who had listened to the broadcast on the road outside and knew that Zou Xuan'er was standing on the seventh floor of Shimai at this moment.

"Today, the singer we invited is Ms. Zou Xuan'er, who is loved by everyone with a 'golden voice'. Next, let Ms. Zou say hello to everyone!"

When Luo Xiazhi spoke, he gave up the microphone in a gentlemanly manner, and looked at him and came out from the side door next to him.

Except for Gu Hanlin and Li Ye, everyone's eyes were attracted by Zou Xuan'er whose vermilion lips were lightly parted.

"Third Lord..."

"Summer Solstice!"

As soon as he came out, he saw Gu Hanlin and Li Ye who was a step behind him.

"Looks like you've done it again. Congratulations."

Gu Hanlin borrowed flowers to present Buddha, took a small flower basket celebrating the opening from the table next to him, pulled off the ribbon on it three or five times, and handed it to Luo Xiazhi.

Luo Xiazhi laughed and took it generously.

Li Ye looked at the scene where the two were in such a tacit understanding, and turned his head sadly.

Then, he met the same resentful gaze of Liang Shaolong who walked to his side at some point.

Luo Xiazhi, who didn't know that there was an undercurrent between the two, walked to the window and looked down, holding the flower basket.

"I want to see Zou Xuan'er!"

"I want to go to the seventh floor, I have money! Let me go up!"

"Me, I'm here to buy a radio, give me a radio!"

"I buy it too! I buy it too! Let me in!"

As Rorschach had predicted in advance, the crowd kept pouring into Shimai Department Store.The security department, which had been prepared long ago, dispatched in an orderly manner, and began to maintain order on the scene, guiding the guests to the radio roadshow counter that had been arranged in the atrium on the first floor.

In the atrium on the first floor of Shimai, hundreds of radios of various styles and prices have long been placed, waiting for customers to purchase.

At the same time, on the side of the counter, there is a large poster of Zou Xuaner's real-life height. The poster clearly says: Today's top [-] spenders at this counter can shake hands with "Golden Voice" Zou Xuaner after the radio program ends. seconds and get an autographed copy.

The [-]st to [-]th winners will get a copy signed by Ms. Zou Xuaner.

The number of machinery and equipment is limited, so purchase as soon as possible.

"I'll buy it, I'll buy the most expensive one!"

"I also buy the most expensive one, I buy two! One for my dad!"

Listening to Zou Xuan'er's touching singing voice as golden as jade came from the radio, and seeing the turbulent passenger flow downstairs, Luo Xiazhi turned his attention to the seven-story "Sakura Department Store" diagonally opposite.

My second brother, I'm back who can't be beaten to death.

How will you face it?

The author has something to say: Yes, the unfortunate person who was born at the end of the year and turns two years old after the new year is me.
