Rebirth: Outstanding

Chapter 5 The Second Young Master of Chu Family

The short song lasted more than ten minutes. The little singer accused the pipa for ten, and stopped talking. Looking at the guests in front of him, Song Tianyao picked up the tea cup and drank the tea in it, seeming to be unaware of the music.

The little singer was very well-behaved. He didn't make a sound or got up to interrupt Song Tianyao's thoughts, but gently fiddled with the pipa, playing a quiet and elegant tone.

It took another five or six minutes before Song Tianyao got out of his thoughts, turned his face to the side and smiled at the little singer, took out five yuan from his wallet and put it on the table:

"Quick but not chaotic, slow and constant, the pitch is not too high, the rhythm is not too fast, the tune is elegant, this is for you."

It was not until Song Tianyao spoke, that the little singer stood up, crouched and thanked Song Tianyao, but did not rush to get the money from the table, but was a little surprised that Song Tianyao, a young student who looked like an overseas student, knew how to evaluate what he had just done. The tunes played:

"Does your husband dabble in Pipa?"

"You just played the Chongming Pipa fingering. When I was in Shanghai, I had an old friend who was also proficient in Chongming pipa fingering." After Song Tianyao finished talking to the little singer, he thought of someone's shadow and waved his hand: " Thank you girl for the short song."

Only then did the little singer come over to accept the reward, and once again thanked him and retired.

Although for a moment Song Tianyao's expression attracted her to stay and listen to Song Tianyao's remarks about his deceased's past.

Wu Jinliang left for a full two hours. It wasn't until 5 o'clock in the evening that he returned with a look of excitement, pushed the door of the box open, and said to Song Tianyao before he was seated:

"Brother, it's done. The second son of the Chu family agreed. I have arranged it. At six o'clock, the third floor of Taibai Seafood Boat. After ten o'clock, the dance floor nightclub in North Point will go to the entertainment. The front row of the stage will cost eight in total. One hundred and forty-six yuan, there is still..."

Song Tianyao responded with a smile to Wu Jinliang: "Brother Liang, the money I sent will never be recovered. The rest is naturally your thank you."

Wu Jinliang had seen Song Tianyao's generous shots before, and he was no longer polite at this time. He sat opposite Song Tianyao and began to exhort the second son of the Chu family who was invited tonight.

In Hong Kong, there are many chambers of commerce and prefixes in various places. Except for the aborigines of the New Territories, the Chinese in Hong Kong at this time can only be regarded as foreigners. People from Chaofeng, Haining, Shunhua, Lu Zhao and other coastal areas come to Hong Kong to survive. We must take care of each other and unite with each other.

Therefore, these local chambers of commerce in Hong Kong are roughly equivalent to those Wen merchants, Zhejiang merchants and other chambers of commerce that later Song Tianyao contacted. Businessmen from the same region gathered together to share resources and contacts with each other to obtain the greatest benefits.

As for the association, it was originally an organization not to be bullied by other outsiders. Those who understand kungfu and loyalty stood up and gathered a group of brothers to be an organization for the fellow villagers. However, as the number of people in the association increased, the association was established. The original intention also changed accordingly.

The current situation is that the Chamber of Commerce raises the association, using the association to provide labor and umbrella for itself, while the association is to **** the Chamber of Commerce, by the way, find some dock jobs for the brothers in the association to solve food and clothing.

The chairman of the Chaofeng Chamber of Commerce is called Chu Yaozong. Its Liheng Commercial Bank is mainly engaged in the grain and oil business. It can be regarded as a leader among Chaofeng merchants. Commercial firms involved in the import and export of medicines and kerosene business.

Chu Yaozong has three sons. The eldest son Chu Xiaozhong is 29 years old. He is currently helping Chu Yaozong manage the business of Liheng Trading Company. Because Chu Yaozong is the president of the Chaofeng Chamber of Commerce, the entire Chamber of Commerce has to deal with all kinds of things, his own basic grain and oil business. It was handed over to the eldest son, and from a certain aspect, he told everyone that Chu Lianhai will be in charge of the lintel of the Chu family in the future.

The second son, Chu Xiaoxin, was born by Chu Yaozong Xuxian. He is 22 years old this year. He has an outgoing personality. When he was born, his family was already rich and wealthy, so he was quite the posture of some dudes. He likes flashy, bohemian, old-fashioned, and it is best to make friends. Chu Yaozong gave the Chu family's basic grain and oil business to the eldest son, and handed over the pharmaceutical business to Chu Xiaoxin. Although the pharmaceutical business was not large, the profit in January, excluding Chu Xiaoxin's expensive expenses, could make a slight surplus.

The third son, Chu Xiaozhi, is only twelve years old now. He and Chu Xiaoxin were born to the same mother and are still studying at this time.

The job Wu Jinliang introduced to Song Tianyao was to be the secretary of the second youngest of Chu Xiaoxin and the Chu family.

"The three sons of Chu Yaozong, as the saying goes, the emperor loves his eldest son, and the people love his son. Whether Chu Yaozong is an emperor or a commoner, he will not place too much emphasis on the second youngest of the Chu family, so even though Likang is said to be handed over to Chu Xiaoxin takes care of it all. He never asks, but in fact, Likang firm arranged for Chu Yaozong's uncle to stare at the dock. This uncle is not Suixian's brother, but the eldest son, Chu Xiaozhong's uncle, and the younger brother of Chu Yaozong's ex-wife who died of illness. The wife and uncle are always staring at the Likang firm’s business, looking for opportunities to take back the firm’s nephew, Chu Xiaozhong. The second youngster of the Chu family has already spoken out in various teahouses to find a clever secretary to help take care of it. Business, to keep this small industry, willing to pay a monthly salary of two hundred yuan for the secretary, brother, if you are really talented to learn, this is the treasure place to display your aspirations." Wu Jinliang sipped the fragrant tea in the dry tea, eyes Staring at Song Tianyao and said.

Song Tianyao nodded slightly, showing a smile: "After listening to Brother Liang, I think this job seems to be specially set for me."

The two of them drank tea in the teahouse and chatted until 5:30. Then they got up and took a rickshaw and headed to West Sham Wan, Kowloon Tong Tong. When they arrived at Sham Wan, Kowloon Tong, the lights were already on, and the boats on the sea were seen from a distance. There are many boats, magnificent and brilliantly lit, and various lights are reflected on the sea, and the scenery is magnificent. From time to time, small boats are rowed between various boats and piers to pick up and drop off guests.

Song Tianyao was no stranger to this kind of food boat in Hong Kong at this time. Later generations have seen many Hong Kong movies, and there are scenes about food boats. For example, in "Lie Hao", Wu Xihao saw fat fat for the first time. The mistress played by Ye Zimei, had a whole food boat for dinner, and asked her subordinates to walk with her fellow Wu Xihao who came to see her for two dollars.

But Song Tianyao's life was the first time he came to such a place. At this time, he was standing on the dock and looking at the food boats moored on the distant sea, but he didn't know how to call the other party to set a boat to pick him up.

Fortunately, following Wu Jinliang by his side, Song Tianyao did not speak. Wu Jinliang stood on the dock and pointed to a small boat that had just delivered guests: "Go to Taibai."

A short-dressed boatman supported Penny and docked the boat, and said politely to the two of them: "Please, please board the boat."

Waiting for Wu Jinliang and Song Tianyao to stand firmly on the boat, the boatman supported the boat and steadily rowed towards the location of the most gorgeous food boat in the deep bay, Taibai Seafood Boat, and saw the boat coming. The crew on the boat was early. The pedals were ready, and the boat was firmly connected to the boat. Two more capable guys came down and helped them to board the Taibai Seafood Boat.

The whole Taibai seafood boat is divided into upper, middle and lower floors. There are already a lot of diners on the middle and lower floors. They are chatting and listening to music at the wine table. It is a bit noisy. The third floor of the uppermost floor was ordered by Wu Jinliang Under the layers, when Song Tianyao followed Wu Jinliang to the third floor, the noise of the two floors below was suddenly blown away by the slight sea breeze, and his eyes were full of star-dropping fields and the magnificent scenery like a moon creek. Song Tianyao stood by a railing. , Said in his mouth: "Good view."

At this time, on the entire third floor, there was only a large platform for twelve people in the center, and there was no one else except the folks who bowed their heads around and waited to serve the guests.

Song Tianyao heard Wu Jinliang talk in the teahouse and said that the cost of covering the third floor of the Taibai Seafood Float was 500 yuan. This money was placed in Hong Kong in the 1950s. It was definitely a huge sum of money. But this is the situation, Song Tianyao But I think the money should be spent, but the scenery at this time is not expensive.

I admired the night view of the sea for a while, and did not wait for the time to reach seven o'clock. At this time, there was already a buddy on the steps downstairs who reminded: "A distinguished guest on the third floor!"

The guy near the stairs on the third floor stood up quickly after hearing it. He only heard the sound of footsteps on the stairs. A handsome young man walked up wearing a long trench coat and saw Song Tianyao and Wu Jinliang standing up. Wu Jinliang smiled and said hello: "Old Wu!"

"Less letter, please hurry up." Wu Jinliang hurriedly walked over and led Chu Xiaoxin to sit up. Chu Xiaoxin took off his windbreaker and threw it to the waiter at the back, while looking at Song Tianyao next to him, aside. Other than that, Song Tianyao’s appearance alone made him very satisfied at this time.

"Open the banquet." Wu Jinliang said to the distant buddy: "Greeting people to come up to accompany the wine."

Immediately, a guy went downstairs to make arrangements. After Chu Xiaoxin was seated, Wu Jinliang helped him pour a cup of tea. Then he introduced Song Tianyao to Chu Xiaoxin: "Xin Xiaoxin, this is our Chaofeng fellow, Song Tianyao, who was in Macau before. I am a manager of China at Ocean Bank, and I only came to Hong Kong recently. I always remember that Xin Shao said that I wanted to find a secretary. So as soon as Ayao arrived in Hong Kong, I would invite you out to see you. This is Xin Shao, Likang Commercial Bank. boss."

"Less letter, hello." Song Tianyao greeted Chu Xiaoxin politely.

After Chu Xiaoxin took his seat, he realized that his cigarette was still in his windbreaker. He wanted to turn around and greet the man to take out his cigarette. Song Tianyao, who was next to him, had already passed the 35 cigarettes by his hand.

Chu Xiaoxin smiled and nodded, took out a cigarette, and said to Song Tianyao, "Ayao, right? How old is this year?"

"Eighteen years old." Song Tianyao struck a match and handed it to help Chu Xiaoxin light the cigarette.

"Eighteen years old? Eighteen-year-old Manager Hua?" Chu Xiaoxin was stunned and glanced at Wu Jinliang. He originally thought Song Tianyao would be in his early twenties, but he was only eighteen years old. Is the 18-year-old boy going to be the manager of China? But Wu Jinliang didn't look like that kind of braggart, so Chu Xiaoxin took a puff of cigarette, handed the cigarette case back to Song Tianyao and asked, "Have you read a book?"

Song Tianyao took the cigarette case and lit a cigarette for himself and said, “After three years of studying at the Hong Kong Wenzhi College, he dropped out of school and worked as a manager of China for half a year at Maradu International in Macau.”

"It turns out that I have studied foreign languages, so it's no wonder that I can be a manager of China at the age of 18. Why didn't we read Huangren, if we read Huangren, we might still be classmates." Chu Xiaoxin nodded clearly.

Chu Xiaoxin was born in the best high school in Hong Kong, but he also knows about Wenzhi College. Like Huangren College, Wenzhi College is an official secondary school under the colonial government of Hong Kong. The teachings here are in English and Latin. Although not as famous as Huangren College, it is also considered a well-known institution.

As for the position of Manager Hua, to be honest, it’s not as reliable as Wenzhi College’s background. Many Chinese people now see ordinary Chinese employees working at Ocean Bank, and they are used to calling each other’s manager Hua. Chu Xiaoxin thought Song Tianyao at this time. It should have been an ordinary clerk in a foreign company in Macau for half a year. He wanted to change jobs when he returned to Hong Kong.

"Family has fallen, and dropped out of school halfway." Song Tianyao said to Chu Xiaoxin.

After this sentence was finished, footsteps on the stairs sounded, and three singers with signs of appearance were led by the guys and walked up.
