The entertainment tycoon of the Republic of China

Xie Yan had already forgotten how she got back to her room yesterday, she only remembered being helped into the car by Wen Heng at the end, and then she lost consciousness afterwards.

The next morning, Xie Yan opened her eyes and looked at the ceiling, and patted her forehead after a while.

Wen Heng could only send him back last night, and Mrs. Wen was by the side. He didn't remember the details of last night, so Mrs. Wen wouldn't see anything, would she?

In fact, Xie Yan and Wen Heng had a very close interaction before they were together, but Xie Yan didn't feel anything at all at that time, and now that the two have become lovers, even if they didn't do anything out of the ordinary, Xie Yan felt a little guilty , for fear of being discovered by others.

Xie Yan lay on the bed for a while before resigning himself to his fate and getting out of bed. The theater will open soon, and many things need to be dealt with by him, and Li Tianwei's matter is still a ticking time bomb. Xie Yan really has no time to spare. Falling in love is a good thing only in dreams.

After he got up, he looked at the clock on the wall. The hour hand was just at eight o'clock in the morning, which was the time when all kinds of things were waiting for the day.

After Xie Yan washed up, she opened the door and went downstairs. Before reaching the restaurant, she met Wen Yanhui.

"It's too early to regret, and you want to go to Erya's house to study again?" Xie Yan greeted with a smile.

"Yeah." Wen Yanhui was still dressed in a simple student style, and Miao Erya probably didn't know that her good friend was a young lady of the Wen family.

"By the way, Mr. Xie, I have something to tell you." Wen Yanhui suddenly thought of something and stopped, "Yesterday you asked me why Erya's sister is not married yet, so I asked Erya quietly."

"What do you say?"

"She said that the family my sister was going to marry thought they didn't have enough dowry, so they suddenly regretted the marriage and didn't want to marry." Wen Yanhui frowned, "When Erya said this, she was very angry. She said that the family came so soon After she got out, my sister's reputation has already become bad in the neighborhood, and I'm afraid she won't be able to get married if she wants to."

"Is it okay to say when the dowry should not be engaged? Why do you regret the marriage because of this?" Xie Yan felt that this reason was a little untenable.

"I asked the same question. Erya said that the family disliked their family for being poor, but because the elder sister was filial, obedient and clever, she never divorced her. Before her elder sister married, they used all kinds of excuses to manipulate her every day." work."

"How can I say that when I met Er Ya to help my sister get the dowry, her face was not very good-looking."

"That family has never seen my sister as a human being. Erya can't persuade her parents and sister. How could she be happy?" Wen Yanhui sighed. She had stayed at home for too long and never thought about it before meeting her. There are such things in the world.

Obviously the Miao family's parents and Miao's sisters are not bad people, why did the Miao's sister come to this point?

Xie Yan continued to ask, "According to what you said, the family put the Miao family sister under their command, and the Miao family sister also obeyed. Why did they regret the marriage?"

Wen Yanhui pursed his lips, "I heard from Erya that that man just hooked up with a rich man, so he made excuses not to want my sister."

Xie Yan didn't understand even more, "A rich man? Can a rich man like such a son-in-law?"

Wen Yanhui opened his mouth, as if he didn't know how to speak.

Xie Yan looked at her expression, thought for a while, and understood, "Is she a prostitute?"

"Yes." Wen Yanhui nodded again and again, "Erya said that the man hooked up with a prostitute who wanted to be good, and the prostitute saved a lot of money, but the man had to marry her as his wife to use the money for him. That man It's okay to be shameless, but my sister's reputation will be stinky if I do this, the neighbors around me secretly say that my sister is no better than a prostitute, and my sister hasn't been out of the house for many days..."

"..."

Xie Yan was silent. He hadn't met Miao Daya yet, but since she was protected by her younger sister Erya, at least it proved that she was a good sister.It's a pity that not all girls can dare to resist their fate like Erya, and the same mother will also have completely different personalities.

"Have you seen Erya's sister before? How is she doing now?"

"I went to Erya's house several times and my sister was there. Her hands are very skillful. She can embroider many patterns and make all kinds of snacks. Every time I go, she will make delicious food for us." Wen Yanhui Speaking of these made me feel even more uncomfortable, "If I hadn't asked Erya after you reminded me yesterday, I would never have thought that she would go through these things."

"Mr. Xie." Wen Yanhui stated his purpose, "Can you help Erya's sister find a way... I know it might be a bit abrupt to ask, but I don't know who else to turn to."

"..."

In fact, there is no need for Wen Yanhui to open his mouth. The sisters of the Miao family, Xie Yan, will definitely help. When he first came to this world, he was unaccompanied. The Miao family gave him part of the initial warmth and touch. According to reports, this is Xie Yan's criterion.

But Miao Daya's matter is not easy to deal with.

It is true that with the power of the Wen family, it is just a matter of saying to get rid of Miao Daya's remorseful fiancé directly. It is not impossible to help Miao Daya find a new husband's family with good conditions, but this is really Miao Daya. Ya really need it?

From Wen Yanhui's narration just now, Xie Yan has already understood that what Miao Daya really lacks is the confidence and courage like her own sister. The in-law's family, the final result will still be a tragedy.

"How about this." Xie Yan thought for a while, "I regret that you went to Miao's house today to meet Miao Daya, and told her that the modern theater on Furong Street is recruiting people to work. If she wants to go, she can go to the theater to report in the afternoon, and the salary is [-] Five bucks a month, plus a bonus for a good job."

"What does Mr. Xie mean?"

"Only economic freedom can achieve a higher level of freedom." Xie Yan casually used a word from later generations, "If you want to make Miao Daya confident, you must first let her feel that she can support herself, and even live a better life."

"I see, I'm going to tell Erya the good news, and let's persuade my sister to go to work together!" Wen Yanhui silently kept this word in his heart.

As for how to tell Miao Erya about this on the premise of concealing her identity, so that the other party will not be suspicious, that is something Wen Yanhui needs to think about.

"Go, be careful on the road."

Xie Yan watched Wen Yanhui leave, but did not see Wen Heng when he arrived at the restaurant. Although he knew that Wen Heng was busy with antidote research and could not be at home at this time, Xie Yan still felt a little disappointed.

"Mr. Xie." Fuzhu, the eldest maid of Wen's family, was waiting in the dining room. Seeing him coming in, she brought a plate with a smile.

"What is this?" Xie Yan was puzzled.

"Hangover soup." Fuzhu put the plate in front of Xie Yan, and lifted the lid neatly, "It was specially ordered by the second young master before he left in the morning, saying that you were drunk last night, and I am afraid that you will get up this morning and feel uncomfortable, so that I will let you eat." I'll be here waiting for you to bring it over."

"This is freshly warmed, drink it while it's hot."

"..."

Xie Yan's heart warmed after hearing Fuzhu's words, even if he didn't drink the hangover soup, it would be all right, but who doesn't want to be remembered by his lover all the time?

"Thank you Second Young Master for me." Xie Yan tried to answer calmly with a straight face.

Unexpectedly, Fuzhu chuckled, "You should thank yourself!"

"..."

Xie Yan looked at the back of Fuzhu who couldn't help laughing, and a bad feeling flashed in her heart. She always felt... I seemed to have overlooked something?

Fuzhu didn't come back, Xie Yan had nowhere to ask, so she could only keep her doubts in her heart, and finished her breakfast first.

Mrs. Wen seemed to be discussing something with Wen Jiulou in the study. Xie Yan didn't disturb them. After saying hello to the housekeeper, she went out and took the tram to Furong Street.

Yesterday at the birthday banquet in the inspection mansion, Gu Junzhi told Xie Yanyun what had happened in the teahouse in recent days, so Xie Yan did not go to the theater after arriving at Furong Street today, but turned to the teahouse.

Xie Yan still remembers the first day he came to this world, he came to Yunlai Teahouse and lived there for a long time. Yunlai Teahouse was his starting point in this world, and it has many meanings to him .

At eight or nine in the morning, when the teahouse is not open for business, the guys should be cleaning in the lobby. Xie Yan walked to the hidden door and knocked on it. Soon the door opened from the inside, and the person who came to open the door hadn’t seen him for a long time. Liu shopkeeper.

Seeing Xie Yan, shopkeeper Liu was also a little surprised, and quickly let him in, "Mr. Xie, why are you here?"

Shopkeeper Liu knew that Xie Yan had a very close relationship with the Wen family, and that he was the disciple of Bai Luoqiu, who was recently rumored in Hankou. Li Quan had already left the Yunlai Tea House. I will come to the teahouse.

Xie Yan didn't answer, and scanned the lobby after entering the door, "Uncle Liu, why are you alone in the restaurant, where are the other guys?"

"The owner is gone, where did you come from?" Shopkeeper Liu sighed, "I dismissed them all. Today, the Li family is coming to sell teahouses, so I won't work here anymore."

Shopkeeper Liu’s eyes were a little sad. Li Tianwei didn’t care much about the business of the teahouse. Shopkeeper Liu’s painstaking efforts to bring the teahouse to the restaurant for more than ten years were about to be sold. He looked at the tables and chairs in the teahouse and sighed again. sigh.

"In such a hurry?" Xie Yan didn't expect that the Li family would sell the tea house today, "This is not a small business, can it be sold in a day?"

"It is estimated that they want to sell at a low price. The two brothers of the Li family are afraid of Li Tianwei's return and refuse to delay. I am just a shopkeeper. What can I do?"

"Li Tianwei is missing?" Xie Yan pretended not to know anything.

"I've been missing for several days." Shopkeeper Liu shook his head. Seeing no one around, he lowered his voice and said to Xie Yan, "I heard that I was retaliated against. I don't know if I'm still alive. Anyway, I probably won't come back."

"What revenge?" Xie Yan's heart skipped a beat.

"Mr. Xie, do you know about Xie Ji Mi Xing?" Shopkeeper Liu shook his head after speaking, "Look at what I asked, you were not in Hankou when this happened, how could you know?"

"In short, this is probably the case. The Li family used to be friends with a Xie family who opened a rice shop. A month or two ago, Xieji rice shop suddenly closed down. Mrs. Xie and a baby, those who knew about it at the time sighed and felt sorry for them, saying that the good people of the Xie family were not well rewarded." Shopkeeper Liu's few words summed up what happened to the Xie family.

Xie Yan knew this a long time ago, and even rescued Mrs. Xie who was tried by Li Tianwei to silence her, but he definitely couldn't say it in front of shopkeeper Liu.

"What does this have to do with Li Tianwei?" he asked.

"I also heard from others." Shopkeeper Liu wiped his face, "Recently, there have been rumors in the market that Li Tianwei blindly worked for foreigners and tricked Xie's father and son out of the city to kill them, because Xie Ji Mi Xing was cheap for the poor. Selling rice at a low price has ruined the business of foreigners, and Li Tianwei's disappearance this time is because he did too many bad things and was secretly retaliated against."

The relationship between Xie Ji Mi Xing and Li Tianwei is a secret that only a few people know. The rumors shopkeeper Liu heard in the market should be the rumors that Mrs. Wen deliberately released. Xie Yan told Xie Ji Mi Xing After entrusting it to Mrs. Wen, she didn't take care of it any more. Now it seems that Mrs. Wen is going to shut down the Li family.

These thoughts flashed through Xie Yan's mind, but he remained calm on the surface, "I heard that Boss Li has a very good reputation in Hankou, Uncle Liu, are you making a mistake?"

"That's what someone who doesn't know him said. Li Tianwei and I have known each other for more than ten years. I think this rumor is probably true..." Shopkeeper Liu sighed, "Forget it, it has nothing to do with us anyway. If Li Tianwei really did such a wicked thing, let Xie's father and son pay for his life."

"Trouble comes from the mouth, it's better not to talk." Xie Yan nodded in agreement.

"Hahaha, you're right." Shopkeeper Liu didn't know what to think, and was quite emotional, "Mr. Xiao Xie, you haven't said why you came today?"

"Uncle Liu, do you know that my master Bai Luoqiu will officially perform in Hankou in five days?" Xie Yan made a fool of himself.

"Of course I know. It has been spread all over Hankou. Mr. Xunhuan personally said at the birthday banquet last night that he would go to the Presenter Theater to listen to Boss Bai's play in five days. Everyone was guessing where the Presenter Theater was. I wondered if it was Mr. Xie, is your pen name?"

"Wait—" shopkeeper Liu has been in the teahouse business for more than ten years, and his mind is very active, "This theater uses the current one as its name, so Mr. Xie, you..."

"I am the owner of this new theater." Xie Yan admitted with a smile.

"..."

"Crack!" Shopkeeper Liu was dazed for a few seconds, then suddenly patted the table, "What did I say, I said you are not simple!"

"Uncle Liu, slow down, don't slap your hands hurting." Xie Yan felt helpless.

Shopkeeper Liu calmed down, and didn't ask Xie Yan where he got the money to buy the theater, why he became the owner of the theater where Bai Luoqiu was acting, and who is not a good person after staying in the business for a long time, Xie Yan obviously didn't want to answer such questions As for the problem, shopkeeper Liu will not force others to make things difficult.

"So Mr. Xie, you came to see me today—"

"Please go to the theater and help me." Xie Yan agreed with his guess.

Shopkeeper Liu smiled so much that the corners of his mouth almost reached his ears. Although he is talented, there are not many people needed for the position of shopkeeper. Most business places have their own fixed shopkeepers. It is difficult to find a job with similar salary immediately after leaving Yunlai Teahouse.

Shopkeeper Liu was already prepared to tighten his belt to live after losing his job, but he didn't expect a new job to come to him before he was officially unemployed.

Although he still doesn't know where the present theater is, Shopkeeper Liu believes in Xie Yan's ability, and even more in Bai Luoqiu's appeal. This theater will definitely make more money than Yunlai Tea House.

Even if he is only a small shopkeeper in the theater, he will be better than he is now!
