The Rise of the Writers of the Republic of China

"ha!"

Zhou Hexuan got up yawning, and just as he opened the door, a maid came over to greet him: "Mr. Zhou, good morning!"

"Okay." Zhou Hexuan nodded subconsciously.

"I'll get you some water to wash your face." The maid said and left.

In less than a moment, the maid had called for hot water, and even the toothbrush and toothpaste were ready.

Old Xu really enjoys it!

Zhou Hexuan looked at his watch, it was almost ten o'clock in the morning. He asked the maid: "Where are Zhimo and Xiaoman?"

The maid replied: "Sir goes to school early in the morning, and my wife is still sleeping. She usually doesn't get up until noon."

After Zhou Hexuan finished washing, the maid brought some newspapers and a letter: "Mr. Zhou, this is today's newspaper. And this letter, sir said that if you want to see the master, you can take the letter to visit."

"It's time to work." Zhou Hexuan said.

The maid said: "Breakfast is ready. There are lean meat porridge and soup dumplings, as well as milk and bread. Do you like Chinese food or Western food, Mr. Zhou?"

"Let's have Chinese food." Zhou Hexuan followed the maid to the dining room.

While eating and reading the newspaper, Zhou Hexuan learned from the news that the Northern Expedition had captured Shanghai. Just yesterday evening, when they were going to dance, Bi Shucheng left the troops and ran away alone, and all the remaining defenders surrendered.

Bi Shucheng is Zhang Zongchang's confidant, and he and Chu Yupu are also sworn brothers, and he is also a young and promising handsome guy.

At the end of February this year, Bi Shucheng led 20,000 Lu troops to support Shanghai under the order of Zhang Zongchang.

Most of Zhang Zongchang's Lu army belonged to the wine bag and rice bag, but Bi Shucheng was brave and good at fighting, and he could be called a fierce general. When he entered Shanghai with his troops in a murderous spirit, all walks of life in Shanghai trembled, for fear that this warlord would kill.

It was still Du Yuesheng who was so awesome that he resorted to a beauty trick and sent the famous Shanghai prostitute "Lao Liu" into Bi Shucheng's room.

"Lao Six" was born so beautiful that he fascinated Bi Shucheng, and since then fell into a gentle village, no longer involved in the military. Zhang Zongchang sent a telegram, Bi Shucheng turned a blind eye, he even ignored the soldiers under his command.

When the war broke out, Yang Shuzhuang, the commander-in-chief of the Beiyang Navy, asked Bi Shucheng to discuss the military affairs, but he couldn't see anyone at all. In a fit of anger, Yang Shuzhuang led his troops to surrender to the Northern Expeditionary Army.

Seeing the critical situation, Bi Shucheng was at a loss. The famous prostitute "Lao Liu" gave him advice again, persuading him to return to his righteousness and join the revolution. Bi Shucheng actually agreed, and after receiving the principal's secret promise, he actually informed the whole battle plan of the Zhi-Shandong Allied Forces.

In the end, he was caught by the Northern Expedition's plan to delay. When the enemy was about to enter the city, Bi Shucheng finally came to his senses. He was so frightened that he left the army and fled back to Shandong by boat overnight.

What awaits him is death!

Bi Shucheng was shot and killed by Zhang Zongchang when he returned home. Only the famous prostitute "Lao Liu" still missed the old love and went north to collect Bi Shucheng's body in person.

This is an old-school warlord who disregards the overall situation for a prostitute, how can he be invincible?

Zhou Hexuan finished his breakfast, packed up the underwear samples, and said to the maid: "When Xiaoman gets up, tell her that I'm going to see your master."

The maid quickly said: "Mr. Zhou, wait a moment, I will prepare the car for you."

Xu Zhimo's family has two small cars, which are specially used for the couple to travel, and the style is comparable to that of a wealthy family.

Xu's father, Xu Shenru, currently lives temporarily in the Zhejiang Lake Crepe Industry Office (Silk Industry Hall), and he is politically inclined to the old-school warlords. So when the Northern Expedition entered Zhejiang, Xu Shenru hurriedly fled to Shanghai for refuge, wanting to wait for the situation to be clear before making a decision.

Inside the hotel room.

Standing at the window, Xu Shenru sighed and sighed: "It seems that the world in the south has been captured by the revolutionary party. Yun Jing, you are ready to pay 5,000 oceans. I am going to pay a visit to Bai Chongxi tonight."

"Okay, sir!" The butler bowed and stepped back.

Soon the servants of the office knocked on the door: "Master Xu, there is a young man asking to see you outside. His name is Zhou Hexuan, and he is said to be a friend of Young Master Xu."

"Zhou Hexuan?"

Xu Shenru had a little impression of the name, and ordered: "Please come in."

Zhou Hexuan entered the room with a smile, cupped his fists and said, "Mr. Xu is well!"

"Nephew, please sit down." Xu Shenru also put on a smiling face.

Both of them were looking at each other, and Xu Shenru felt that Zhou Hexuan was a young man with great potential. Zhou Hexuan was also a little surprised. He thought he would see an old man with a white beard, but he didn't expect Xu Shenru to be a handsome old man.

Xu Shen is now 55 years old, but he is well maintained. He has a white face and no beard, wears glasses and a long gown. His appearance is 90% similar to Xu Zhimo, and his temperament is extremely refined. He is not like a businessman, but more like a university professor.

After Zhou Hexuan sat down, Xu Shenru personally helped him make tea, and asked, "What is your nephew's job now?"

Zhou Hexuan took the teacup and thanked him: "As the president of Peking University, I also co-run Ta Kung Pao with my friends."

Xu Shenru suddenly remembered that Liang Qichao had mentioned Zhou Hexuan in his letter, no wonder the name sounded familiar. His attitude was a little enthusiastic, and he said with a smile: "Mr. Ren has a lot of praise for you."

"Ren Gong is absurdly praised." Zhou Hexuan said.

With Liang Qichao as an endorsement, and Zhou Hexuan and Xu Zhimo being friends, then everyone is considered to be their own, and the atmosphere suddenly became much warmer.

After chatting for a while, Xu Shenru asked, "What is the so-called nephew's visit to Shanghai this time?"

"For business," Zhou Hexuan opened the box and took out the underwear sample and the monopoly certificate, "Let's see, uncle."

Xu Shenru didn't understand what he meant at the beginning, but when he understood the purpose of underwear, his expression suddenly became exciting: "Why would my nephew think of doing bellyband business?"

Zhou Hexuan said: "Women's liberation is being advocated today, just like letting your feet go, and breasts are also necessary. Only with healthy breasts can you feed healthy children. But after breasts are released, there is no new underwear to wear, and women are inevitably embarrassed when going out. .”

"It's a good business." Xu Shenru nodded. He is a well-known big businessman in Zhejiang, with a natural vision, and after hearing Zhou Hexuan's explanation, he immediately saw the business opportunities.

But in terms of morality, Xu Shenru couldn't pass the hurdle in his heart. He always feels that women's underwear is not on the table, and if he really sells this stuff, it will inevitably damage his reputation.

Zhou Hexuan said: "The atmosphere in the north is old-fashioned, so I plan to come to the south to do underwear business. But I have no roots and no roots, and I want to cooperate with my uncle to set up a factory. I hope my uncle can help me."

"Well," Xu Shenru straightened his words, "I am very optimistic about your bellyband business, but I am afraid it will be difficult for the world to accept."

Zhou Hexuan immediately said: "Uncle, don't worry about promoting public opinion, I will handle it. Uncle only needs to be responsible for factory management, raw material supply, and providing sales channels."

Xu Shenru thought about it and said again and again: "I can invest in shares, I can also help in production and sales, but I can't stand in front of the stage. Do you understand?"

"I understand." Zhou Hexuan smiled. But he was slandering in his heart: Damn, you have a share in making money, and I will come here alone, this is a very clever plan.

Xu Shenru said: "That's good, how much is my nephew planning to invest?"

"It depends on the situation. I plan to get another company to take a stake." Zhou Hexuan didn't have time to manage production and sales, and he didn't dare to hand over all the business to Xu Shenru, so he decided to cooperate with Zhang's family. Multiple shareholders can at least restrain each other.

Xu Shenru belonged to the old fox of Cheng Jing, who saw through Zhou Hexuan's thoughts at a glance, and immediately smiled and said: "My nephew is cautious, and he will make great achievements in the future."
