The entertainment tycoon of the Republic of China

As the weather turned warmer, bright white sunlight filtered through the huge glass windows of the bungalow, casting long shadows on the floor for the people in the living room.

When Xie Yan entered, the room was so quiet that you could hear a needle drop. The old lady of the Li family and several sons and daughters-in-law stood in the middle of the living room, and Bai Luoqiu took the time to drink tea in the upper seat, without any intention of inviting them to sit down.

Xie Yan looked at Li Fu who was at the side, and Li Fu made a helpless gesture to him.

The old lady of the Li family had obviously been left out for a while, her face turning green and turning pale, and when she heard Xie Yan enter the door, she couldn't hold back her face even more.

"Boss Bai, I'm afraid this is not how you treat guests, let alone the elders."

Bai Luoqiu drank tea without the slightest pause, the beauty lowered her eyes and her red lips were slightly parted. It was obviously a pleasing picture, but it made people feel a chill.

"Senior citizens?"

Bai Luoqiu shook his head, "There is no elder here."

"you……"

Li Fu couldn't stand it anymore, and interrupted Mrs. Li's rude words, "I said, you are here to ask someone to borrow money, right? How come you have such a big face here, you really think you are talking about it!"

"you--"

"This is the tutor of the White Mansion? Why do you speak nonsense as a servant?!" The adults of the Li family were still blushing, when a clear and clear child's voice suddenly sounded dissonantly.

"Uji!" Mrs. Li frowned.

"What are you afraid of? Can't you see that Bai Luoqiu is just watching us make jokes? Why bother with the actor first and then fight!"

……

Xie Yan raised her eyebrows, and looked at the child whose nostrils were almost lifted to the sky.The child standing behind Mrs. Li is about ten years old. He is well-dressed, with fine skin and tender flesh. He looks a lot like Li Tianwei. He is probably Li Tianwei's son, Li Yuzhi.

Sensing that Xie Yan was sizing him up, Li Yuzhi didn't panic at all, and turned his head to look at Xie Yan, his eyes were full of contempt and condescension.

"You are Bai Luoqiu's apprentice Xie Yan?"

"Well, I'm the owner of the Presenter Theater, the prospective son-in-law of the Wen family, the host of Minsheng Publishing House, the earliest user of the presenter's pseudonym, and Bai Luoqiu's apprentice—Xie Yan."

"..."

……

"Ah."

A chuckle came from Bai Luoqiu's direction, Xie Yan shrugged his shoulders, although he didn't have the same knowledge as a child, but it's not difficult to clean up this kind of little garbage that has been raised and abandoned.

Naturally, Li Yuzhi also heard Bai Luoqiu's laughter, his face flushed with anger, his whole body creaked and trembled, and he looked more like Li Tianwei.

"You, you...have no shame!"

"Shame? What is shame?" Xie Yan also laughed, "Is the Li family betraying the country and seeking glory, and the treachery is called shame, or you have repeatedly come to the White House to make troubles, and now you want to borrow money to call it shame?"

"I'm sorry, this kind of 'shame' is enough for only people like you to know."

Xie Yan didn't waste any more words with Li Yuzhi, and looked directly at Mrs. Li, "I've been looking for you several times, can you still learn to speak straight? Instructing the children to come out and speak your mind will make you appear less despicable." ?”

"..." After being unceremoniously exposed by Xie Yan, the old lady Li laughed twice, "I have heard that Boss Bai's apprentice is capable, and it seems that it is true, and it is not because of Boss Bai's false name as rumored outside. "

"You can shut up if you sow discord, I'm not my master, and sometimes I don't have a good temper."

"...I, we—"

"In order to cooperate with the Japanese to get a big discount, the Li family personally cut off the coal transportation line they originally operated. After the extermination of the Xieji rice line was exposed, the small businessmen who were originally attached to it also cut off contact. At present, the Li family Mortgage all the shops and coal industry with your foreign debts, and you have [-] silver dollars left. Sell your ancestral home and fields and pay off most of them, and then make a written statement and the whole family will go to the creditor's house to work together for ten years to pay back. of."

Xie Yanxin counted the current situation of the Li family, "Since the repayment is over, why are you borrowing money?"

"If you are worried that the creditor won't want to wait for you to pay back the money slowly, I can help you intercede, but it may not be successful."

"You, are you really going to force the Li family to die?!"

"Forced to die?" Xie Yan sneered, "Who?"

"You let us open up and say, what are you pretending here! You are a relative of the Xie family and a disciple of Bai Luoqiu, so you don't like us, did you use the hands of the Wen family to harm our Li family? "

"So, that's what you think."

Xie Yan shook his head regretfully, "Traitors seeking glory, vicious minds, mutilating compatriots, snakes and rats, you are the dregs on the land of China, you chose your own death, and you have no one to blame."

Such people lack the most basic etiquette, integrity and shame, no matter how many facts they tell, it is impossible to change their inner thoughts, Xie Yan is too lazy to waste any more words.

"What did you say just now? You dare to borrow money without fear, just show your cards, and let me see what dirty tricks you have."

Xie Yan walked to the sofa next to Bai Luoqiu and sat down, crossing her fingers in front of her chest, and looked at this group of scum in human skin with scrutiny.

In the past, when confronted as a barrister for evidence collection, such actions often meant that he had found a decisive breakthrough, which made his opponents frightened.

The Li family had never seen Xie Yan at that time, but at this moment they felt the same nervousness as people in another time and space a hundred years later.

The living room fell silent again, no one dared to answer Xie Yan's question, even if they thought they had the chance to win, they felt chugs in their hearts at this moment.

In the end, it was Mrs. Li who bit the bullet and said, "I don't know if Boss Bai has told Mr. Xie about the past with my eldest son when he was in the capital."

Old Madam Li originally thought that such half-covered threats could force Bai Luoqiu to speak, but Bai Luoqiu didn't even raise his eyelids, and Xie Yan didn't follow his assumption at all.

"I know, isn't it Li Tianwei who cheated money and sex, and the Li family used their power to bully others and beat them up."

"you……"

Seeing Mrs. Li's sluggish appearance, Xie Yan laughed, "You don't mean to use this to blackmail my master, make me prejudice against my master, and make him have to give you benefits just to keep his mouth shut."

"I said, do you go out to listen to the current news on weekdays? Have you read my views and attitudes on marriage in the newspapers? Do you know that I am going to marry the second young master of the Wen family soon? As long as you have a little brain, you will not Think I care about it."

"Bai Luoqiu lied to Tianwei. After spending his money, he turned his face and refused to recognize anyone. Afterwards, he never saw him again! An actor is not righteous. No matter how he used Tianwei in the past, he will treat you in the future!"

"I'll fart your mother!" Li Fu yelled violently, "Back then Li Tianwei spent all his money drinking and gambling two or three times after he had a falling out with his family. Come out! Has your conscience been eaten by dogs?!"

Xie Yanchong spread her hands to Old Madam Li, "I'm sorry, but I trust my family more than giving dogs to the Japanese."

"Okay, okay." Mrs. Li smiled angrily, "You don't mind, you trust him, but what about others? People in Hankou, people in Huaxia?!"

"Bai Luoqiu is not you. Without the protection of the Wen family, there is no gold medal for avoiding death like a presenter. He is the biggest actor in your theater. If Bai Luoqiu's reputation is completely rotten, thank you boss, you will How much less money?"

Li Fu's fists were clenched and creaked, "It's as if someone wrote back to the Li family, a dog traitor who would be spit on on the street!"

"Yes, we are traitors, we have already become notorious, so what?!" At this point, Mrs. Li stopped pretending completely, "The matter of my son and Bai Luoqiu broke out, and the Li family will also lose a lot of money!" Face, as long as we bite to death and refuse to admit it, how can you prove that we said these things?"

"The secret history of Bai Luoqiu's spring boudoir, the No. 1 character in Huaxia, will not be spread because the source of the news cannot be found. And the more you refute the rumors and stop them, the faster the news will spread. I knew this at the beginning. There are a lot of people involved, and many of them are in the capital, so the Wen family can't control it, right?"

"Anyway, the reputation of the Li family is already like this, so it doesn't matter if there are a few more scandals. But can your present theater stand up to such a toss?"

"I remember that foreigners seem to have always regarded the Modern Theater as a thorn in the side of the racetrack. By then, the 'anti-foreign cause' you have been thinking about will not die halfway!"

Madame Li's eyes were beating with destructive madness. A few meters away, Xie Yan's expression was still calm, but the power contained in his gradually sharp eyes was faintly more terrifying than the madness on the other side.

Xie Yan put down his clasped hands in front of his chest and sat up straight. Anyone who knew him well in his previous life knew that this was the behavior of lawyer Xie after his bottom line was violated.

However, before he could speak, Bai Luoqiu, who had been drifting away from the sky, suddenly spoke out.

"You want to borrow money, don't you?"

"Master..."

Bai Luoqiu shook his head, signaling Xie Yan not to interfere.

Mrs. Li thought her threat had worked, and she was overjoyed when she saw this, "Yes, borrow money."

"How many?"

"Fifty thousand silver dollars."

Li Fu scolded, "Ah Yan just said that you mortgaged the property and still have [-] yuan left!"

"After mortgaging the property, what will we eat and use as a family? How will the servants' wages be settled? Do you pay for it?"

"you--"

Bai Luoqiu raised his hand to stop the quarrel, Li Fu was unwilling, and finally obediently retreated to the corridor, walking back and forth in anger.

"Fifty thousand silver dollars, if you want to borrow, you can."

"Master?" Xie Yan was a little uncertain.

"But—" Bai Luoqiu paused for a few seconds, causing the Li family's ecstasy to hang again.

His gaze swept across the small coffee table at hand, stopped for a moment on an empty milk glass bottle, and then went straight to look at the Ru kiln vase behind.

The slender and slender hand picked up the precious turquoise porcelain, lifted it up gently, and dropped it to the ground like a broken bowl that he didn't care about.

There was a crisp crackling sound in the living room, followed by a crash of smaller fragments, splinters of ornate porcelain exploding on the pale floor, and finally silence.The sunlight swayed on the smooth glaze surface, and the light jumped and danced, as poignant as turquoise falling flowers.

Xie Yan knew what Bai Luoqiu was going to do.

"Kneel on it, kowtow to admit your mistake, one kowtow is [-] silver dollars, and if you kowtow [-], you can walk away with [-] silver dollars."

"Who will come first?"
