Chapter 178: Warlord Young Commander vs. Shanghai's No. 1 Socialite 2
Chapter 178: Warlord Young Commander vs. Shanghai's No. 1 Socialite 2
His words didn't sound fake. He threw the cigarette butt on the ground, rolled over it mercilessly with his shiny military boots, and walked inside.
There was no need to look for Shen Tingzhou, as everyone in the banquet hall was looking at him.
Standing there were Shen Zhongqing, who monopolized military and political power, Chun Juntang, chairman of the Shanghai Banking Association, and several military commanders of the Shanghai faction.
A beautiful lady stood among several middle-aged men.
Chun Nianren's carefully styled curly hair was draped behind her shoulders, and an exquisite white tulle hat adorned her right temple. She wore a white French lace dress with half-sleeves with fine pearl tassels, and pearl necklaces of varying lengths were wrapped around her slender white neck.
New and beautiful.
She was wearing white lace gloves on her hands and was holding Chun Juntang's arm.
"It is Uncle Shen who has shown me such kindness. I am ashamed to accept it."
Speak slowly and gracefully.
Shen Tingzhou felt like a feather was brushing against his ear, making him feel itchy and numb. He raised his foot and walked over closely.
His tall and superior figure caused quite a stir as soon as he came into people's sight.
Everyone knows that this dinner was ostensibly to celebrate Chun Juntang's election as chairman of the Banking Association, but in reality it was a gathering of the children of the Shen and Chun families.
Shen Tingzhou's attitude is crucial.
I don't know what they were talking about, but General Shen, who was known for his iron-blooded style and was in charge of Songhu, was laughing out loud.
Standing next to him was Jiang Qingzhao, commander of the 17th Division of the Shanghai Army.
Jiang Qingzhao saw Shen Tingzhou coming over, pointed at him and said with a smile to everyone, "Look, Xianlin is here!"
Shen Tingzhou was wearing a straight military uniform, his deep facial features gave off a cold and indifferent look that kept strangers away. He was holding a hat in his hand, looking dignified and heroic.
"Dad, uncles and aunts."
Governor Shen raised his hand and patted his arm with satisfaction, asked him to go see Chun Nianren, and introduced him to Chun Nianren in person.
"This is Uncle Shen's son, the fourth child in the family. You can just call him Fourth Brother."
There was an indescribable expression in Shen Tingzhou's dark eyes, and he happened to meet Chun Nianren's smiling gaze.
The ends of her slender eyes are adorned with a hint of elegance and shrewdness, and can truly be described as bright and charming, with a look of radiance and life.
These are a pair of extremely beautiful eyes.
Gemstones are inlaid to form fox eyes.
Chun Nianren smiled reservedly and called out obediently and reservedly.
"Fourth brother."
Shen Tingzhou felt like a feather was brushing against his ear again.
Governor Shen also introduced Chunnianren to him.
"This is the eldest daughter of your uncle Chun, Chun Nianren, your uncle Nianren's sister."
Shen Tingzhou's expression was unclear. Under normal circumstances, this kind of address would never come out of Shen Tingzhou's mouth.
But today it seems to be right at my fingertips.
"Nianren's sister."
Governor Shen laughed with satisfaction and continued to ask, "Then tell me, if I graduate from a British university, can I be your secretary?"
Be his secretary?
It turned out that his father was waiting for him here.
Shen Tingzhou stood still as a mountain, looking at the other party calmly, giving him face.
"If it's Nianren's sister, then it's a waste of talent in Tingzhou. I heard that Miss Chun is fluent in both English and French. It would be better for her to join the Senate, where she can better display her strengths."
Governor Shen laughed out loud after hearing this, but ignored him and pointed at him for instructions.
"First, let your sister be your secretary for two months to practice. When the time comes, you can arrange her place yourself!"
"That's enough! I still have things to discuss with your uncles, so you young people can go and have fun by yourselves. Nianren just came back, so you haven't had a good time yet, right?"
After General Shen finished speaking, he looked at Chun Nianren and smiled kindly, like an amiable elder.
"Let Xianlin take you shopping, and don't hesitate to ask him to pay for anything you like!"
Chun Nianren didn't dare to respond on his own and turned to look at his father.
Compared to the iron-blooded soldiers, Chun Juntang, dressed in a suit and tie, is elegant and easy-going.
He smiled faintly and nodded, patting the back of her hand.
"Go ahead. You just came back and you don't even have any friends. Go out and have fun."
Chun Juntang is naturally forward-looking as he can stabilize the economy in this current situation. He chose the Shen family and Shen Tingzhou was the one he chose for Chun Nian.
He could see that Shen Tingzhou's attitude was not very enthusiastic.
If the marriage between two families can be successful, it is a good thing; if it cannot be successful, it is no big deal.
Shen Tingzhou is just currently on his list of sons-in-law.
He nodded to Chun Nianren and said seriously, "Of course! We can't let Young Master Shen pay for it! Dad will give it to me when we get back!"
"Good dad."
Chunnianren put down his hand with a smile and greeted the elders present before leaving.
"Dear uncles, please take your leave."
Shen Tingzhou fell behind by one step.
"Xianlin, goodbye."
Shen Tingzhou walked past her twice, his eyes couldn't help but fall on the hem of her long skirt. The intricate lace swirled gracefully as she turned around, like reserved petals blooming in layers after being blown by the wind.
In the eyes of outsiders, there was only one word to describe the scene of Shen Tingzhou following Chun Nian closely as she left the banquet hall: perfect match.
Commander Shen looked happy and visibly satisfied, and he looked at Chun Juntang with a smile.
"Yuechen, let's talk in the study."
He came here today for another important matter.
Invite Chun Juntang to serve as Director of the Shanghai Finance Department.
There are many red and white roses planted outside the villa, swaying gracefully in the summer night breeze.
Jiang Dingbei chased them out.
"Hey! Where are you going? Wait for me!"
Shen Tingzhou stopped to think of Chun.
Jiang Dingbei chased up to her and took a close look at Chun Nianren. His eyes were about to pop out of their sockets because of his amazement.
"Miss Chun, nice to meet you. My name is Jiang Dingbei."
Shen Tingzhou's sharp eyebrows moved slightly, and his deep eyes were unfathomable, with a hint of contempt for others.
Chun Nianren looked at Jiang Dingbei, with his slicked-back hair and powdered face, and his air of being a nobody, and smiled knowingly.
"Fourth Young Master Jiang?"
The beauty smiled and Jiang Dingbei's eyes widened.
"Miss Chun knows me?"
Shen Tingzhou looked at her, and the lighter that had disappeared from his hand for a long time appeared in his hand again.
Chun Nianren nodded and chuckled, then turned and walked down the stairs.
There are bloodthirsty warlords like Shen Tingzhou, and there are also ambitious young people like Jiang Zhennan who leave their motherland in order to strengthen their country.
There are countless playboys like Jiang Dingbei who love to live a life of drunkenness and dreams.
"I know Mr. Jiang, he also studied in England, and I heard him mention you four brothers."
Of course, Jiang Zhennan was telling this as a joke, saying that Commander Jiang was illiterate and wanted to name the four brothers of the Jiang family in order from east, south, west, north, and left, Jiang Dadong, Jiang Danan...
In the end, he was stopped by Commander Jiang's wife, and they both took a step back to keep their names.
When it comes to Jiang Zhennan, the fourth young master Jiang becomes unhappy.
"My second brother should be back this year, but he insisted on getting a doctorate in physics or chemistry? I don't know what it would be useful for."
Chun Nianren did not make any comment on this, but Shen Tingzhou glanced at him meaningfully.
