The entertainment tycoon of the Republic of China

I have never been a good person who repays evil with virtue.

When Bai Luoqiu said these words, Xie Yan who was standing beside him could clearly feel a fierce aura emanating from the other party, as if the blade in the darkness finally revealed a cold light for a moment.

What complaint does he have, and what "reward" does he plan to get?

Xie Yan was a little curious about Bai Luoqiu's past, but the other party obviously didn't want to talk about it now, and he wouldn't ask too much.

The world has never been so beautiful. As we grow older, we will eventually find that everyone is doomed to only carry what they are destined to carry, and then move forward step by step with the burden, staggering towards the light in their hearts.

Seeing that Bai Luoqiu had already made a decision, Li Fu had no choice but to get up to get a name card and a silver ticket, and go out to do errands. upstairs study.

"Sit down." Bai Luoqiu sat behind the wide and long ebony carved lacquer table, and pointed to the opposite seat.

"Okay." Xie Yan heard the sound and sat down.

"I just said that I won't ask whether you remember the past or whether you have anything left by your family on you." Bai Luoqiu straightened the cloak on his shoulders, "As long as you say so." Round the past, not to be noticed by others, whatever you say."

Xie Yan was a little surprised, but remained calm on the surface. The meaning of Bai Luoqiu's words seemed to be telling Xie Yan that although he would not hurt Xie Yan, there were many other existences who coveted Xie Yan besides him. , Let Xie Yan think about how to make a joke in advance.

"Master has said so, can't you tell me who are these 'others'?" Xie Yan asked directly.

When she was working in her previous life, what Xie Yan was best at was to find the loopholes in the other party's reactions while questioning them directly and face-to-face, and at the same time quietly investigate based on the loopholes behind his back.

If you do this, the person being interrogated will form a preconceived impression that he will say everything to his face, let his guard down, and finally be taken advantage of by Xie Yan.

However, Bai Luoqiu is obviously not such a mediocre person.

Facing Xie Yan's questioning, he just shook his head slightly, "Everyone."

"what?"

"I've just told you that it's possible for everyone, including me, so don't tell anyone the truth."

"..." Xie Yan was silent for a few seconds, and finally smiled, "Okay, I see."

"Let's get down to business." Seeing that he understood what he meant, Bai Luoqiu nodded, and took out the Wen Wei Po that published "Hankou Romance" from his hand, "You wrote this?"

"It's me." Xie Yan admitted, he immediately recognized the newspaper that he bought from the newsboy when he left the house this morning.

Master Hong, behind Wen Wei Po, liked Hankou Qiyuan very much. After negotiating a price with An Yujing and getting the full manuscript, he cut two newspaper columns and published the novel the next day without waiting for a schedule.

"Hankou Romance" has a total of more than 8 characters. Wen Wei Po plans to publish every 5000 characters as an issue, and publish an issue every other day. It will take a month to finish publishing this novel. Today's issue is the first issue. There are more than [-] words in total, and the plot of the story is the same as in the storytelling, and it ends when Yan Laowu fishes Aisha's coffin by the river.

According to the results of discussions with An Yujing, the readers of the novel version of Romance in Hankou are mainly young students and progressive people. Xie Yan really wants to know the public's reaction after the novel is published in the newspaper. Unfortunately, he has to meet Bai Luoqiu today, so he has no choice but to Put this thing aside for now.

"Master, how did you know that I wrote it?" Xie Yan asked after glancing at the newspaper. Although he hadn't deliberately concealed his identity, he hadn't publicized it either. Bai Luoqiu just arrived in Hankou today. It stands to reason that you shouldn't know this.

Could it be that Fang Qingming was on tour...

"Fang Xunxuan sent someone to deliver this newspaper to me, saying that you wrote it." After Bai Luoqiu finished speaking, seeing that Xie Yan didn't show any surprise, he nodded slightly.

"However, Fang Xunxuan's move is more to test and remind me, not to deliberately target you, so you don't have to worry."

"Fang Xunxuan invited Master to Hankou, is it because of the racetrack?" Xie Yan was noncommittal, and changed the question.

"It seems that you have really changed." A trace of surprise flashed in Bai Luoqiu's eyes.

"Since you mentioned the racecourse, I think you already have a certain understanding of the situation there, so I won't say more." Bai Luoqiu gently tapped the table, "I know you don't want to learn to sing, and you don't want to stay any longer. In the Dechun class, I will give you two choices, which one do you want to choose."

"What choice?"

"The first choice is my original plan before I met you today." Bai Luoqiu looked at Xie Yan, "I can help you buy a small house in Hankou and help you make a living , and give you 20 yuan a month to ensure that you can live a nourishing life."

This choice sounds very considerate, and it directly covered Xie Yan's entire second half of his life without worrying about food and clothing. If it wasn't for the wrong occasion, Xie Yan would have felt that he was helping some unworthy old rich man to make a will. The old rich man was afraid of being spoiled. The child can't bear the family property, and he is afraid that he will have a bad life, so he can only worry about it.

Having a house, an iron rice bowl, and a monthly guarantee of 5000 yuan is a life that countless people dream of even in modern times.

"What about the second choice?" Xie Yan asked directly without any emotion.

"The second one?" Bai Luoqiu's eyes became more serious, "The second choice is to deal with the racetrack with me."

"Why did you choose me?"

"Because it can actually be your business." Bai Luoqiu seemed to remember something, but finally just shook his head, "When the time is right, I will tell you your life experience and some secrets I know."

"As for now, Fang Xunxuan plans to build a new entertainment venue near Furong Street. My reputation is the original gimmick of this venue. Since you can write a story like Hankou Romance, and you know about the racecourse, you want to come I already have my own plans for this, so, do you want to follow me into this situation?"

Bai Luoqiu stared at Xie Yan, "This is not an easy matter, I hope you think it through carefully, if you choose the first way to deal with it, I can help you get through it."

"Isn't Master tired?" Xie Yan asked suddenly.

"What?" Bai Luoqiu didn't react.

"It's nothing." Xie Yan smiled, "I just want to tell you that besides you, there are many people in this world who are also working hard for a common goal. Don't take everything on yourself."

"Although I don't remember my own life experience, but my elders can become friends with you, and I think they will not be the ones who abandoned the country." Xie Yan responded to Bai Luoqiu's gaze, "In this case, as their descendants, I am What face do you have to live alone in troubled times without worrying about food and clothing?"

As the person who occupied the original owner's body, how could he be alone with peace of mind?

Bai Luoqiu looked at the young man in front of him, as if seeing someone through him, and paused for a few seconds to avoid the other person's gaze.

"Then you chose the second one."

"Of course, my friend and I have already planned to arrange a stage play of Romance in Hankou to attract the audience and compete with the racecourse. Besides, there are many new stories under preparation." Xie Yan said frankly, "If Master, you plan to directly create For the playground, I also have some ideas for your reference."

For example, the ready-made experience of those entertainment venues in later generations, one-ticket-take-all, competitive voting, meet-and-greets...even selling popcorn milk tea at every turn, are all things that can be replicated in this era.
