In the next two days, Lin Xiaotang left all his official duties to Shang Zhensheng. He took a rare holiday and accompanied Dong Jiayi with Datou. He Youqing traveled all over Shanghai. To be honest, Lin Xiaotang had not been there since he came to Datou.

He had never been so leisurely in Shanghai. He didn't go to many places in Shanghai. In contrast, Dong Jiayi was very familiar with Shanghai, so later on, the three of them followed Dong Jiayi around.

He Youqing got acquainted with Lin Xiaotang and Datou, and her personality gradually emerged. She was a girl who loved to talk and laugh. Like Dong Jiayi, she had a straightforward personality and didn't have so many twists and turns. Datou was hesitant in the middle and tried to test it in a very vague way.

Once, He Youqing didn't take it seriously. Lin Xiaotang asked Dong Jiayi privately what He Youqing meant to Datou. Dong Jiayi couldn't help but give him a blank look.

"It's only been a few days? We need to give Youqing a period of understanding. Anyway, her impression of Datou is not bad. Besides, I didn't fall in love with you at first glance!" After saying that, he picked Lin Xiaotang's hand.

Chin, smiled and ran away.

On the third day, just when Lin Xiaotang and others were about to go out, Chang Huan came. When they were escorting Gao Tao and Gao Tao, the two had already dealt with each other, and the apartment father was about to hand Chang Huan over to Lin Xiaotang, so they met.

Not unfamiliar either.

Chang Huan brought a message from my father-in-law, "A visitor from Nanyang has arrived. My father-in-law asked Brother Qi to come over and meet him."

Lin Xiaotang looked at Dong Jiayi apologetically, "I'm really sorry, I can't accompany you today."

Dong Jiayi smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. Anyway, my eldest brother arrived in Shanghai yesterday. I'll help you pack up and see him later. Let Datou and Youqing go out to play. If we are not present, maybe the relationship between the two can be further improved.

!”

Before, Lin Xiaotang's affairs were all taken care of by the little girl Shang Zhi. After Dong Jiayi came, she and several of her subordinates stayed at the Kehua Hotel. After the relationship between the two was established, Lin Xiaotang's internal affairs were handed over to her without hesitation.

Managed by Dong Jiayi.

Dong Jiayi also likes Shang Zhi, a smart girl, and secretly gives her a lot of gadgets brought from Thailand. It can be seen that Shang Zhi also likes her, a future young lady with a straightforward temper and a smile all day long.

Dong Jiayi stayed by her side all day long in the hotel, just like Dong Jiayi's little sister.

Dong Jiayi helped Lin Xiaotang choose clothes for going out, and then she had to tie him a tie. Lin Xiaotang usually hated wearing ties. When he saw this, he frowned. Dong Jiayi explained with a smile that the current official social life in Shanghai

In etiquette, wearing a tie is one of the most basic requirements. Although the weather is hot, this thing is still indispensable.

Fortunately, Lin Xiaotang introduced the latest air conditioners from the United States. A group of technicians at the Shanghai factory, including several specially hired Jewish technicians, improved the entire set of equipment at Lin Xiaotang's suggestion, and the cooling effect was significantly better than before.

Improvement. Kehua is currently equipped with such equipment. Although the scale of Kehua is not yet the most high-end hotel in Shanghai, after the air conditioning was installed, the business immediately doubled than before. In this summer, it is often

A room is hard to find.

However, Lin Xiaotang's current factory in Shanghai is not complete in scale, manpower and equipment, so at present, the production volume is far from meeting the needs of the entire market. Lin Xiaotang and Dong Jiayi have considered this matter together, since it is profitable

, you might as well let Dong Jiayi’s family join this business, occupy a certain share, and profit.

Use the Dong family's financial resources, connections and contacts to expand the air conditioning factory as soon as possible. This makes Dong Jiayi very happy. She is very happy that Lin Xiaotang can consider the problem from her own perspective. Although she and Lin Xiaotang have not told her family yet,

If this cooperation can be successful, it goes without saying that the relationship between the two will become more stable.

"Jiayi, where are you going later? I'll send you there first." Lin Xiaotang said to Dong Jiayi.

Dong Jiayi packed up her things and said, "Huizhong Hotel, are you on your way?"

Lin Xiaotang was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "Of course I'm on the way, I'm going there too."

Huizhong Hotel is a landmark building on the Bund in Shanghai. It is adjacent to the Peace Hotel. It was formerly known as the Central Hotel. It is the earliest comprehensive building integrating catering and accommodation in Shanghai. In the first year of the Republic of China, Mr. Zhongshan was elected here.

The first interim president of the Republic of China.

At the entrance of the hotel, Lin Xiaotang took Guo Zhui with him. After saying goodbye to Dong Jiayi, he followed Chang Huan, who was waiting in front of the door, into the lobby. After getting on the elevator, Lin Xiaotang asked Chang Huan, "Has your apartment already arrived?"

"Just arrived, people from Nanyang will be here soon!"

Lin Xiaotang glanced at Chang Huan, who was a little different from usual, "I don't think you are such a serious person?"

Chang Huan shrugged, "You will be my boss soon. Of course, there will be some differences from before."

Lin Xiaotang smiled, "Okay, it's not the first time we've dealt with each other, so don't stretch yourself, I don't have that many rules!"

Chang Huan smiled bitterly, "You're not my uncle yet, so you have to make me pretend to be mature and prudent!"

While they were talking, the elevator had stopped. Two men in suits who had been waiting in front of the door took Lin Xiaotang and Guo Zhui directly to a very secluded room on the fourth floor.

This is a large suite, equipped with a small conference room and bathroom. The furniture is all handmade in Italy. The teak walls and plaster-carved flat roof show a strong Western style.

There was no one else in the room except the apartment man. When the apartment man saw Lin Xiaotang, he quickly motioned for him to sit on the sofa next to him. The foreign waiter followed politely and asked Lin Xiaotang what he wanted, brought a cup of black coffee, and then left.

, Chang Huan, Guo Zhui and others were also standing outside.

The apartment owner frowned when he smelled the black coffee, "Why do you like drinking this?"

Lin Xiaotang took a sip and said, "There are too many things to do, this is more refreshing than tea!"

The apartment owner chuckled, "This will suit the appetite of the old guy who will be coming soon!"

Lin Xiaotang was very curious. He still didn't know who this big shot from Southeast Asia was.

The apartment owner stroked his beard gently and said, "This old guy can definitely write a book in his lifetime. When he was seven or eight years old, he went to Nanyang with his family, going through wind and rain. Within a few years, his family

With his extraordinary mind and accurate vision, the old man earned a fortune and became a famous Chinese businessman at that time.

. But you also know that at that time, the Manchu Qing Dynasty was corrupt, besieged internally and externally, and surrounded by great powers. We Chinese had no status at all. The local natives in Nanyang colluded with foreigners and committed adultery to seize his family's property. The old man was so angry that he vomited blood and died.

The family was scattered, and the whole family prospered for less than ten years before being destroyed."

"That year, he was only seventeen. He was chased by the natives and fled to the sea. He became a disciple of a wealthy man in the sea. He was already practicing martial arts and was very skilled. Since then, he has become famous on the sea.

He became a powerful figure all over the world. The wealthy man admired his courage and martial arts, so he betrothed his only daughter to him. After the marriage, they were harmonious. "

"But after experiencing many things, he also realized that no matter how arrogant he was, without a strong country behind him, he would be bullied wherever he went. For this reason, he cruelly left his newlyweds

Yan'er's wife and his father-in-law, who regarded him as his biological son,

My father resolutely traveled across the ocean to Japan, applied for the Imperial Japanese Army School, and actually succeeded. In the past few years, he suffered a lot in Japan, but he also learned a lot. During this period, he became strong

I met the person who changed my life—Mr. Zhongshan.”

"He was deeply attracted by Mr. Zhongshan's knowledge and revenge, and later joined the Xingzhong Society and the Tongmenghui. After finishing his studies, he returned to Nanyang and took over his father-in-law's business. The first thing he did after that was to board the

Shore, relying on his own ability and the help of Mr. Zhongshan, he once again revived the family, and borrowed his prestige among overseas Chinese to continuously provide arms and funds for the revolution, and also sent outstanding children of the family to participate in the country.

revolution."

Lin Xiaotang listened leisurely and fascinated, and couldn't help but clapped her hands, "This is what a real man does!"

The apartment owner couldn't help but pointed to the room they were in and said: "Xiao Qi, did you know? After the success of the Wuchang Shou Uprising, the Tongmenghui held a meeting at Huizhong Hotel to welcome Mr. Zhongshan back to China. This is the room where Mr. Zhongshan once stayed. He was elected

After he became the first interim president of the Republic of China, we celebrated him in this room and got drunk before we stopped!"

"Really?" Lin Xiaotang stood up suddenly and looked at the furnishings in the room carefully. An uncontrollable passion suddenly surged in his heart. This turned out to be a large room where the revolutionary sages once lived. There was a table and a chair in it.

They were all used by his old man, and this room actually recorded a great historical moment of our Chinese nation. When he thought of this, Lin Xiaotang felt his blood boil.

"Old Zeng, you old man is showing off your past deeds again!" The two doors of the room were pushed open, and with a sound like a bell, an old man wearing a white silk shirt stepped in.

He has a bronze face but a slender appearance. He has a short beard. Although his hair is all white, there are not many wrinkles on his face. He holds a folding fan in his hand and keeps fanning it.

"Why is the weather in Shanghai hotter than Nanyang? This Huizhong Hotel is also one of the best places in Shanghai. Although it is equipped with cooling equipment, it is still hot. By the way, the third girl told me that there is a place called Kehua.

There is something called, what is it called, oh! By the way, it is called an air conditioner. Once you enter the room, it is as cool as autumn. I plan to move there, how about it? "

The apartment owner stood up and said, "You old guy, you are still so angry at such an old age. If you want to live in Kehua, it's easy, the boss is right here!"

Only then did the old man notice Lin Xiaotang standing respectfully aside. He folded his folding fan and pointed at Lin Xiaotang, "Is that him?"

The apartment owner hasn't spoken yet.

Two more people hurriedly walked in outside the door. One was a middle-aged man in a white shirt, in his thirties, wearing gold-rimmed glasses. He walked up to the old man without opening his mouth.

Another figure wearing a lavender dress followed behind, scolding the old man angrily. "Dad, please walk slower. You are so old, why can't you be more careful!"
