1928: The rise of giant merchants

Before the plan to relocate cultural relics to the south was implemented, the senior officials in charge of Beiping's political affairs held a meeting and proposed to auction cultural relics to exchange funds for oceans to buy airplanes to support the anti-Japanese war and save the country.

Fortunately, after the efforts of Yi Peiji, Ma Heng and others, and after Ye Luo telegraphed Zhang Hanqing, the turmoil over the auction of cultural relics was finally calmed down.

Hearing that Ye Luo would strongly support the relocation of cultural relics to the south, Zhang Hanqing swept away his previous attitude and directly discussed the relocation plan with Wang Guowei and others in his villa.

The difficulty of relocating cultural relics this time was very great. The first batch of cultural relics to be relocated to the south was as high as more than 2,000 boxes. Each box of cultural relics had to be protected by straw paper, cotton, straw, etc. to prevent damage during relocation.

After everything was ready, Ma Jue called Ye Luo again and told him that the relocation of cultural relics to the south would be divided into five batches, divided into three groups, across 20,000 miles, avoiding the war on the way, and escorted by the aircraft provided by Ye's fleet and Ye's Film Company.

When they learned that the cultural relics were escorted by the Yeh Charity Foundation, the warlords along the way sent troops to assist, and no one came forward to rob them.

In this way, when the cultural relics were moved south, the pregnant Lin Ruxian boarded the plane to New York accompanied by Ye Qingqing and Lin Yuan, and the group left Shanghai in the night.

The principal was so happy. He originally thought that Ye Luo was invited to serve as a committee member, which was a manifestation of "disloyalty" to him. Now that the organization was finished, he hurried to say that it was thanks to Ye Luo's contribution.

The second concubine Li Shuting and the fourth concubine Bi Yunxia hurriedly called Ye Hao and the bodyguards stationed outside, and drove them all the way to the Yeh United Hospital.

After all, the last time he asked Ye Luo to help dissolve the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Association, Ye Luo also successfully "did it".

"Wrinkled, ugly, is this my son?" Ruan Lingyu disliked her son very much. When she saw Ye Zhuohua, she said the same thing.

Ye Luo rolled his eyes at her and was speechless.

As February approached, the Civil Rights Protection League organized by Madam Sun and others became more and more powerful. Its members included the current left, center, and right factions. Many people used to quarrel when they met, but now they are in the same organization and have reached a consensus.

Due to the conflict between Hu Shi and Madam Sun and Yang Xingfo, a large number of right-leaning democrats planned to withdraw from the league, and Madam Sun and others voted to expel Hu Shi.

Ye Luo walked over and asked anxiously: "How are A Ruan and the children?"

It was thought that this organization would become the largest anti-Japanese civil group in the open, but unexpectedly, the Civil Rights Protection League, which was so vigorous, became a big joke only one month after its establishment.

On the other hand, this organization gradually developed towards Beijing and Tianjin City. Zhang Hanqing was naturally unhappy about this, but at Ye Luo's plea, he still gave these people a break and did not kill them all.

Xiang Songmao knew that he, the general manager of the company, had actually dragged down Ye's investment. It was supposed to be a money-making industry, but he turned it into a loss-making industry. He always felt guilty towards Ye Luo.

The news that the third generation of the Ye family had another son spread quickly.

Ye Luo hurriedly said goodbye to Minglou, and then rushed to the hospital with Shi Jianqiao.

Ye Luo didn't believe in this stuff at first, but now that he had time traveled, he still had awe for ghosts and gods, so he immediately asked Ma Yongzhen to take people to the temple to donate 200,000 yuan.

It's better to cram at the last minute than not, right?

Fortunately, this was just a simple accident. Ruan Lingyu shouted loudly and full of energy inside, and it sounded like there was nothing wrong.

If the assassination of Mrs. Sun, Lu Yucai or Hu Shi would inevitably cause a huge wave of resistance, so he aimed the butcher knife at Yang Xingfo, who was the most jumpy and had no identity background.

Xiang Songmao, who was in charge of Ye's Pharmaceutical Company, also rushed to see the situation, and was relieved to see that Ruan Lingyu was fine.

If Ruan Lingyu had any more trouble, he would have to resign.

As for Huang Chujiu, who was in charge of the Sino-French Pharmacy in the early years, he was eventually dismissed due to his excessive greed and left Shanghai with a large sum of money. It is said that someone saw him being captured by the Japanese in the north, and his final whereabouts were unknown.

"Ah Ruan, you are so beautiful, he will be beautiful when he grows up." Bai Xiuzhu said with some envy as she sat on the bed. She planned to hold Ye Luo tightly and shake the head of the bed for the next few months.

"Madam and the young master are both safe and healthy, congratulations to the second young master." The surgeon smiled and bowed to Ye Luo.

Ruan Lingyu seemed to have a good physical condition. When Ye Luo went in to see her, except for a little sweat on her forehead, she could speak and eat, as if she could get out of bed and walk at any time.

The first wave of people who came to congratulate were naturally the veterans of Ye's investment: Ma Yongzhen, Zhou Xiangsheng, Wu Liande, Ding Li and others.

When he received the news, Ye Luo was still drinking coffee with Ming Lou, discussing the "pirate hijacking incident" that had occurred on the Riqing ship, and considering how to send the brothers who had finished their work to a safe place.

Not long after, she successfully gave birth.

In recent years, Ye Luo has strongly supported his various medical research and sent talents to study abroad, which can be said to have greatly promoted the improvement of the domestic medical system.

Even Xu Wenqiang and his wife, who had just returned from the north, came to thank him. Situ Feifei, who almost became one of Ye Luo's wives, also rolled up her hair and got pregnant. She changed from a little girl to a noble lady who took care of her husband and children.

Ye Luo didn't want to take the blame, so she wrote a letter directly to Mrs. Sun, hoping that she would clarify to the public that she was only an honorary member, not a real leader.

"I wish so." Ruan Lingyu stuck out her tongue and looked at Bai Xiuzhu, "Sister Xiuzhu, you can name this kid? I like the name Zhuohua very much. It's a pity that it would be better if he was born earlier."

In February, Ruan Lingyu was lying on the sofa eating snacks with a big belly. Suddenly, her stomach was cramped and bleeding from her lower body, which frightened her.

The doctors rushed out like a tide and were surrounded by the Ye family in an instant.

This doctor was the famous doctor in Shanghai who had operated on Xiao Aqiao and was poached by Ye Luo. He was a disciple of Tang Yulu's father and has now been promoted to the vice president of Ye's United Hospital.

This time, Ruan Lingyu was even more outrageous. She had a heavy bleeding for no reason, which frightened Li Shuzhen so much that she went to worship the Buddha in a hurry, wondering if the Ye family had been too smooth in recent years and neglected the gods and Buddhas.

In this way, this organization rose from the ground overnight and turned into ruins overnight.

Even though his women gave birth successfully several times before, Xiao Aqiao's caesarean section still became a shadow for everyone.

Fortunately, these days, this noisy concubine has been strongly requested by Li Shuzhen to live in Ye Mansion. When her stomach was in trouble, Xiaoli and others were there.

The principal gradually realized that it would be absolutely terrible if this so-called civil organization continued to develop. He had to find someone to kill as a warning to the monkeys.

Mrs. Sun understood his intentions. The organization could hold on, in fact, it also relied on the financial assistance of Ye's investment. She immediately wrote a letter, saying that the collapse of the organization was due to political differences. Ye Luo was only the person in charge of the funds and had nothing to do with it.

It seemed that Bai Xiuzhu had become a convention to name the third generation. She frowned slightly and began to think.

After a while, she suddenly smiled and whispered: "Why not call it Ye Zhen?"

"Ye Zhen? Zhen'er? It sounds good! But what does it mean?" Ruan Lingyu asked with her head tilted.

"And the strings are tied together, the clouds are like falling snow shoulders. The circles are repeated for Shen Yan. It seems that my true love is endless and forever connected." Bai Xiuzhu smiled and said word by word, "This means that your true love for our husband is endless, and you finally become a couple." (End of this chapter)
