Paramount is the largest dance hall in Nanjing. Every night, people from the upper class gather here.
Military officers, businessmen, officials, celebrities, and even some foreigners are also willing to come here to hunt for sex.
This is a paradise for the rich and a holy place for a group of Cinderellas looking for Prince Charming.
There is only joy here, even though the brutal Japanese army is less than a hundred miles away from Nanjing.
In the two days since Dragon Boat Festival arrived in Nanjing, the war situation has been developing towards an unfavorable situation.
The pace of the Japanese attack never stopped. Even during the Dragon Boat Festival, many Japanese brigades and detachments were severely damaged.
It was as if the Japanese could not be killed no matter how hard they tried. They kept attacking and adding more troops.
At this time, the Xicheng Line was already in danger. But the senior officers at the top were still singing and singing every night.
Including Boss Dai from the Military Command, Director Xu from the Military Command, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Minister Wang from the Ministry of Munitions, Dean Zhang from the Justice Department, etc., they are all gathered in the VIP private room on the third floor of Paramount today.
And in addition to these old guys, there are also several younger generations. The eldest young master of the Kong family - Kong Yang, the son of the Minister of Foreign Affairs - Sun Wen. The son of General Shang - Shang Zhi is also here.
Shang Zhi was brought here by Sun Wenqiang. In fact, he was not interested in this kind of business.
But Sun Wen said, if you have a lot of money, you won’t bite your hand. You can get the money just by hanging your name. Why don’t you take it?
So Shang Zhi also followed.
There were more than a dozen people, old and young, sitting in the room, but they were not talking about any major national affairs, but how to deal with the Dragon Boat Festival.
Today's Dragon Boat Festival was a showdown for Boss Dai. In the morning, he talked to him about redeeming people, but Boss Dai refused. In the afternoon, he ransacked Wang Laohu's opium shop.
Boss Dai was even a little confused, because the Dragon Boat Festival had just entered Nanjing city but it had not been long, and it only took a day and a half to fully calculate.
But no one would have thought that he could find it in such a nook and cranny as Building 36, Beiqiao Street. This is simply a strange thing.
At this time, Director Xu smiled and said: "How is Lao Wang doing now? He has been with you for many years."
Boss Dai said: "What can I do? I scolded him and asked him to suspend his duties and reflect. Are we really going to kill him? Damn it, Wang Chuyi is stupid as well. There are so many ways to make money and he won't leave. Follow him."
His brother-in-law sells cigarettes. If he hadn't followed me for so many years, I would have really wanted to kill him. But his secretary made me crazy. Otherwise, how could I give the committee an explanation?"
Director Xu gloated: "So it seems that this Dragon Boat Festival, we still can't offend him? Lao Dai rejected him in the morning, and they gave him a slap in the face in the afternoon."
At this time, Sun Wen said disdainfully: "Uncle Xu, you think too highly of that kid. What does he have? He is just a bumpkin in a small temple. If the chairman of the committee did not protect him, he would have died many times.
Already."
At this time, Minister Wang of the Munitions Department also echoed: "Master Sun is right, if there is no commission to cover him, who is he during the Dragon Boat Festival?"
Director Xu sneered and said: "What you are saying is in vain. He is now a popular person around the committee member. What can we do? Can you make the committee member dislike him? The question now is, what should we do?
?Should you beat him or win him over?
If I hit him, I would have to kill him with a stick. I could see that this kid wanted revenge. In the morning, Lao Dai refused him, and in the afternoon, he put eye drops on Lao Dai.
And if you want to win over him, let Miss Bai go and give him face."
The Minister of Foreign Affairs snorted coldly: "Let Miss Bai go, what will we do in the future? Even if Nanjing falls, if we take Miss Bai to Chongqing, we can regroup."
Director Xu said: "Old Sun, the problem now is that if we let Miss Bai go, we still have a bowl of rice to eat. If we don't put it, we will lose all our bowls."
The Minister of Foreign Affairs said angrily: "He dares, but I don't believe him alone. This has turned the world upside down. I remember that Boss Dai helped cover up the fact that he killed Chief of Staff Li's goddaughter, right? He dares to be a freshman in junior high school,
We dare to do fifteen."
Director Xu shook his head and said, "Isn't that just a slap in the committee member's face? Then it won't be about us ruining our jobs, but the fact that there will be no more people to eat."
"Yes, what Director Xu said makes sense."
Boss Dai agreed. But at this moment, the remaining light from the corner of his eyes glanced at Kong Yang, who had been silent.
Boss Dai asked: "Master Kong? The Kong family is the largest shareholder of Paramount. If Miss Bai leaves, it will be your Kong family who will suffer the biggest loss?"
Kong Yang smiled and said: "Let me tell you uncles, our Kong family owes a favor to the Dragon Boat Festival. My uncle also recognizes this favor, so this time, our Kong family cannot come forward."
"Favor? What favor? Is it the time you were kicked out of Changshu?"
Sun Wen said disdainfully, in his eyes, is that considered a favor?
Kong Yang said with a smile: "Master Sun, I had the same idea as you at that time, but thinking about Changshu now, Dragon Boat Festival's decision to drive us out of the city at that time was the right one. Otherwise, we, as a branch of the Kong family, would all have died."
Inside Changshu City."
"snort!"
Sun Wen snorted coldly and stopped talking, and the entire private room fell into a brief silence.
Everyone seems to be thinking about it, but they all seem to be avoiding it, because the name Dragon Boat Festival is indeed a headache.
He doesn't play by common sense and never does things without regard for the consequences. Just like today. Boss Dai is sure that after he has offended so many people, he does not dare to offend so many high-ranking officials, including himself.
But who would have thought that he would dare to do this, and put eye drops on himself that night, so that he would be scolded by the chairman of the committee.
Facing such a young junior, what can he do? What can he do?
In his eyes, Duan Wu is a bastard. He has helped him so much secretly, and it's fine if he doesn't say thank you. He also has to wear small shoes and put on eye drops. Has his conscience been eaten by a dog?
?
Dong Dong Dong! Dong Dong Dong!......
At this moment, someone knocked on the door, and it was very urgent.
Boss Dai looked at the door impatiently, as did everyone else. Because at this moment, everyone was upset.
Kong Yang got up helplessly and went to see what was happening outside.
He opened the door, but it was Manager Sun at the front desk.
Kong Yang said displeased: "Didn't I tell you not to disturb me if you have nothing to do?"
Manager Sun nodded tightly and apologized: "I'm sorry, boss, it happened suddenly. There are three foreign businessmen clamoring to see Miss Bai. But Miss Bai, this,..."
"Excuse me. The more you do it at a time like this, the less likely you are to get yourself into trouble."
Kong Yang didn't want to cause trouble for himself and was about to drive Manager Sun away. Manager Sun's voice became louder in desperation: "Boss, the other party is willing to pay 100,000 U.S. dollars for the three of us to have a night of drinking with Miss Bai!..."
