384 [The French Consul General is also a book lover]

Previous Chapter

"The rain and clouds are only at the edge of the dream. I had no choice but to wake up the screen window and sleep inconveniently...... Spring, if you are in the mood, the dream is not far away. ”

The famous actors on the stage were singing the Kunqu opera "Peony Pavilion", and Huang Jinrong, who woke up from sleep, only heard the second half, but still slapped his hands and shouted: "Okay!" Appreciation. ”

Gold was rewarded with 50 yuan, Du Yuesheng and Zhang Xiaolin naturally couldn't be idle, and when they finished singing two more paragraphs on stage, they also rewarded 50 yuan each.

50 yuan is not a small amount, and the continuous high reward in the VIP room here quickly attracted the attention of the surrounding audience.

There were several foreigners sitting in the box next door, and one of them said with a smile: "I seem to hear Du Yuesheng's voice." ”

"It's him, as well as Huang Jinrong and Zhang Xiaolin," another foreigner stood up, looked over the partition of the box, and suddenly said in surprise, "That seems to be Mr. Zhou Hexuan, sitting with Du Yuesheng." ”

The foreign woman who was watching the play said happily: "Is it the author of "The Goddess"? ”

"Yes, ma'am." The foreigner who stood up and looked at replied.

The foreign woman hurriedly said: "Hurry up and ask someone to buy a copy of "The Goddess" and come back, I want to find Mr. Zhou to sign it." ”

"Buy me a copy too." Another foreign woman said.

The foreigner at the beginning smiled and said, "Just buy two more copies of "The Rise of a Great Power"." ”

"And Titanic!" Suddenly, a foreign girl shouted, "That one is so touching, I am moved to tears every time I read it." ”

The foreigner smiled and said: "Dear Leda, "Titanic" is not sold in Chinese. ”

"Then go home and get the English name!" The foreigner girl persevered.

An hour later, the opera on stage was completely over, and the audience began to get up and leave.

Before Du Yuesheng stood up, he saw a few foreigners walking towards him, and he hurriedly greeted him: "Mr. Gan, Mrs. Gan, Miss Gan, Mr. Fei, Mrs. Fei, a few people also came to listen to the play." ”

Not only Du Yuesheng, but also Huang Jinrong and Zhang Xiaolin also hurriedly greeted, because these foreigners are all powerful figures in Shanghai, namely: French Consul General in Shanghai Gan Gelin and his wife and daughter, Shanghai French Concession Patrol Director Fei Volli and his wife.

Du Yuesheng has many titles and positions, such as adviser to the Army, Navy and Air Force Commander-in-Chief, such as the Central Military Commission Major General Senator and the Executive Yuan Senator. But these are fictitious titles that have no real effect other than to improve social status.

What Du Yuesheng really values the most is the position of a director of the board of directors of the Shanghai French Concession, which is the highest position that Chinese can climb to in the French Concession.

"Hello Mr. Du." Several foreigners obviously attach great importance to Du Yuesheng, and when they shake hands and greet each other, their attitudes and tones are relatively normal, and they are completely communicating as equals.

However, when facing Huang Jinrong and Zhang Xiaolin, the foreigners were much more arrogant, as if they were talking to their subordinates.

Du Yuesheng is still very proud, the entire Shanghai Tang, no matter which concession of the foreigner high-level, has to give him some face. He built the Du family ancestral hall next year, and on the day of the priest's ancestor, several foreign consuls general in Shanghai were all present to watch the ceremony.

At this moment, the brilliance on Du Yuesheng's body completely covered Huang Jinrong and Zhang Xiaolin. He smiled and introduced: "This is Mr. Zhou Hexuan Zhou." ”

"Oh, of course I know Mr. Zhou," Gan Gelin took out a copy of "The Rise of Great Powers", "Mr. Zhou, I am your loyal reader, please sign me." ”

"And mine." The foreign girl took out the English version of "Titanic".

Immediately afterwards, two more copies of "The Goddess" and one "The Rise of a Great Power" were taken out, and several foreigners surrounded Zhou Hexuan, as if fans were chasing stars.

Du Yuesheng, Huang Jinrong and Zhang Xiaolin were all stunned, they only knew that Zhou Hexuan was very famous abroad, and now seeing the actions of a few Frenchmen, they finally had a first-hand experience of Zhou Hexuan's influence.

In fact, this is very understandable, the Goncourt Literary Award has a high status in the eyes of the French, and it is normal for Zhou Hexuan, as the winner of the Goncourt Prize, to be surrounded by several French people asking for autographs.

This has nothing to do with social status and interest entanglement, it is completely the respect of the French for the great writers, and the leaders of the Green Gang like Du Yuesheng will not understand.

"Mr. Zhou, do you have time on weekend afternoons? I would like to invite you to my home. Mrs. Gan Gelin asked cautiously, for fear that Zhou Hexuan would refuse.

Zhou Hexuan smiled: "Of course, my honor. ”

"Great!" The French girl danced with joy.

Gan Gelin smiled and said to his wife: "Emma, you can hold the salon more grandly and invite all the celebrities and scholars from all over Shanghai." It will be a rare event to have Mr. Zhou to participate. ”

"I will, I'll prepare the invitation list when I get back tonight." Mrs. Gan Gelin said excitedly.

The French Concession Patrol and Housing Director Fei Volli and his wife have also been talking around Zhou Hexuan. They stay in China all the year round, and they don't have any wonderful literary and entertainment projects, and they have to wait for the country to send them if they want to read this French document, and they have great admiration and admiration for Zhou Hexuan, a university scholar who has caused a sensation in France.

What's more, Zhou Hexuan also invited Einstein and Le Corbusier to China some time ago. This move was wildly sought after by the Chinese and foreign circles, and Zhou Hexuan was also regarded as a top international scholar, and all foreigners who had lived in China for a long time had heard of Zhou Hexuan's name.

This wonderful star-chasing mentality is also incomprehensible to the three green gang leaders.

Zhou Hexuan instantly became the central focus, Du Yuesheng, Huang Jinrong and Zhang Xiaolin completely became foils, standing there stupidly without even having a chance to interject.

Everyone chatted all the way out of the theater, and Gan Gelin took the initiative to shake hands and said, "Mr. Zhou, I am waiting at home this weekend." ”

"Mr. Consul is gracious." Zhou Hexuan said with a smile.

The French girl asked, "Mr. Zhou, can you give me a hug?" ”

"Of course, beautiful young lady." Zhou Hexuan smiled and took the French girl into his arms.

The French girl closed her eyes and said, "Oh, I'm dying happily." ”

"Hahahaha." Several other foreigners laughed.

When everyone dispersed, the three leaders of the Green Gang looked at each other.

Zhang Xiaolin said in a sour tone: "These ghosts are really strange, and they have such respect for a scholar." ”

Huang Jinrong said in a staggered manner: "Yes, when Gan Gelin met with Commander-in-Chief Jiang, his nostrils were also facing the sky, and the surname Zhou was bigger than Commander-in-Chief Jiang's." ”

"So, you have to read more," Du Yuesheng said with a smile, "This scholar is different from us, and he is not at the same level at all." They have their circle, and no matter how many disciples you and I have, no matter how much money we earn, we are not qualified to squeeze into that circle. ”

"Cut, that's so wicked." Zhang Xiaolin is still pantothenic acid.

Du Yuesheng said mysteriously: "Don't believe it yet. I heard that when the group of people returned from the Trans-Siberian Railway at the beginning of the year and passed through Moscow, the head of the Soviet Union, Stalin, met with two people by name. One is Einstein, the other is Zhou Hexuan, and even Li Shizeng, the fourth elder of the Kuomintang, is not qualified. ”

"Really?" Zhang Xiaolin was surprised.

"Of course it's true," Du Yuesheng said with a smile, "I heard that Stalin returned the corporal and invited Zhou Hexuan to stay in the Soviet Union, and this matter was spread all over Li Shizeng's educational delegation." ”

Huang Jinrong listened and didn't speak, and when he returned to his home, he said to the people around him: "When Mr. Zhou comes to Shanghai in the future, he will take more care of him, and take the initiative to help solve any trouble." ”
