1928: The rise of giant merchants

Sitting in the Rolls-Royce Phantom, Tang Ying felt uneasy.

If she hadn't received a call from her brother who scolded her for not continuing to visit the Ye family, and heard from him what Ye Luo said when he was in Jinling, she couldn't muster up the courage to come to the Ye family to talk. Business.

Tang Ying is three years older than Ye Luo. She is already 27 years old this year, but she likes to call her Brother Ye Luo. In the past few years, she was in her prime, and many celebrities came to the Tang family to propose marriage, but she did not like her. The Tang family also knew that since they met Ye Luo, she had the intention of not marrying Ye Luo.

Unfortunately, Luo Hua was ruthless. Ye Luo married Bai Xiuzhu on December 5, 1928, completely cutting off Tang Ying's thoughts.

Since then, Tang Ying has gradually stopped interacting with the Ye family.

She was afraid of touching the scene.

Tang Fulu called her a few days ago, and her words seemed to encourage her to become Ye Luo's concubine. Tang Ying was so angry that she was so cheap. Unexpectedly, her father Tang Nai'an agreed with her and urged her to go to Ye Mansion as soon as possible to communicate with her.

Tang Ying was still struggling in her heart. Should she obey their wishes and fulfill her own wish, or should she wait and see?

Unexpectedly, Ye Luo suddenly mentioned going to her house today, which suddenly upset Tang Ying's heart.

Cao Fan drove all the way into the French Concession and stopped in front of the Tang family villa.

A large number of convoys came to a stop behind them. A dozen elite members of Ye's Security Company got out of the car and checked the surroundings first. After confirming that everything was correct, they came over to help Ye and Luo open the door.

"Brother Luo, what a grand occasion." Tang Ying said something funny to cover up her nervousness.

"Well, recently Jianqiao went to compete with Ting En and the others in martial arts. All the available people around me are busy, so they can only transfer people from the company to protect us." Ye Luo smiled helplessly. He finally realized the important things in his previous life. The painful feeling of characters traveling around in groups.

It's really cool, but more of an inconvenience.

However, the situation is getting more and more chaotic now. The people who want to kill him are probably lining up from Shanghai Beach to Suzhou City. They can travel through time and live a new life. Ye Luo doesn't want to capsize in the gutter.

"Yes, someone assassinated you several times before. I was frightened when I heard Qingqing explain the cause and effect." Tang Ying followed and led him to the villa.

Seeing that it was the young lady and the second young master, the housekeeper immediately called his entourage to pick them up, while he hurried in to inform the master and his wives.

Upon hearing that the famous second young master came to visit in person, Tang Nai'an quickly called his wife and all his concubines. A group of people from top to bottom of the Tang family were neatly arranged in two rows, which looked extremely grand.

"Hello, Uncle Tang. Don't be offended if you drop by without prior notice." Ye Luo smiled and shook hands with Tang Naian.

Tang Naian glanced at Tang Ying, who had followed Ye Luo back, and then at the tall and handsome Ye Luo. He felt that the talent and appearance of the man were a perfect match, and he smiled broadly: "Second Young Master, if you can come here, this is my Tang family." It’s an honor for me, come on, come on, let’s chat while drinking tea.”

Her father's unusual enthusiasm made Tang Ying's face feel hot.

She has an inexplicable affection for Ye Luo, but in fact a lot of it stems from Ye Luo's fame in the circle of celebrities.

These ladies are now eager to squeeze into the Ye family. It is best to be a concubine. If not, they are even willing to be a lover, or even a one-night stand!

Over time, Tang Ying, a top socialite in the socialite circle, felt more and more that only Ye Luo was worthy of her.

The sense of vanity is greater than the sense of admiration.

But now that she saw it, she truly realized how powerful Ye Luo was.

My brother and parents all respected Ye Luo very much before. He is the number one tycoon in Shanghai. Who doesn't respect him? Tang Ying could understand, but she didn't know whether they really respected him or expressed respect.

Just like the current deputy mayor Bai Xiongqi.

Although he holds a high position and is the second-in-command in Shanghai, his awkward position and low family background make it difficult for him to squeeze into the real upper echelons of power in Jinling.

Everyone respects him, more because he is Ye Luo's uncle.

With the same power, Zhang Qun from Jinling's high-level faction, Wen Yingxing, a direct descendant of Song Ziwen, and Dai Ji, who holds military power, are completely different. The celebrities in Shanghai really respect these people.

Tang Ying can feel this difference.

This is a political sense unique to celebrities.

But this is the first time in so many years that my father has received such a grand ceremony at home for a junior!

Sheng Enyi came here not long ago, and Lu Xiaojia came before. Tang Nai'an didn't care much about these juniors who were also distinguished.

Tang Ying looked at her father's flattering smile and felt that if Ye Luo was willing to call him brothers at this moment, he would probably blurt out "Brother Luo"!

"What are you doing, Xiaoying? Go to the kitchen to make tea and serve snacks." Tang Naian looked at Tang Ying who was dumbfounded and couldn't help but scolded him in a low voice. Then he smiled at Ye Luo and said, "A Luo, please don't Don't worry, Xiaoying wasn't like this before."

"Oh, I got it~" Tang Ying followed her mother to the kitchen with her mouth flat.

Ye Luo chuckled and continued: "Uncle Tang, I heard that you often go to Longhua Prison to treat prisoners?"

"It's not often." Tang Naian waved his hands quickly. Longhua Prison was one of the headquarters of the Intelligence Department, and all reactionaries were imprisoned in it. He didn't want to leave such an impression in Ye Luo's mind, "Occasionally. You know, The interrogation methods there are harsher than those in ordinary prisons. Some prisoners are not beaten, but they don’t want them to be tortured to death, so they..."

"I understand." Ye Luo nodded, "Will Uncle Tang go to Longhua Prison in the near future?"

"I'll go there in two days. Is there something wrong with the second young master?" Tang Naian looked at him.

Ye Luo briefly talked about Hu Shi.

This guy is very famous, and he has a good personal relationship with the principal and his wife. Before arriving in Shanghai last night, Ye Luo called the principal's wife. After getting permission, Ye Luo was going to go to Longhua Prison to do a favor and send Hu Shi off.

Of course, the principal's wife only said that she would turn a blind eye to this. It was absolutely impossible for them to admit personally that they could let such reactionary elements go.

Therefore, how to go to Longhua Prison, how to meet Hu Shi, and how to send him out all fell on Ye Luo.

If "this" had been another person, Tang Nai'an would have kicked him out long ago.

What a joke!

Hu Shi was arrested and imprisoned for writing an article questioning the principal's dictatorship!

Of course, you should stay as far away from this kind of person as possible.

Still going to save him?

But the person in front of him was Ye Luo.

Moreover, Ye Luo had already said that he would do everything, and Jinling also acquiesced.

This is a big favor.

Thinking of those Shanghai aristocratic families that quickly took off after being connected to the Ye family, Tang Nai felt relieved and agreed.

"Thank you very much, Uncle Tang." Ye Luo stood up and thanked him. (End of chapter)
