Tang Baozhu half-believed and half-doubted as she followed Xie Xin into the gate of Paramount. The lights were already on and guests were coming in one after another. When Ying Shi saw Xie Xin coming in, he hurried forward to greet him.

"Thank you, Master. You are here. I have reserved a private room for you."

Xie Xin nodded and walked towards the private room with familiarity.

Tang Baozhu raised her eyebrows. She saw through it but didn't expose it. They were all regular customers. He said he was not a playboy who was only looking for fun. But if he said this to others, he would only fool the girl.

Song Xiaohua followed Tang Baozhu all the way and was dazzled.

"Oh my god, this is the legendary Paramount, Miss Tang Er, it's so beautiful."

The first floor is basically a dance hall, with a gramophone, carved screens, classical furniture, red ambient lighting, plus retro hits and a jazz band, which is really eye-catching.

The private room is on the second floor. The inside is open, and you can clearly see the performances in the dance hall.

After Xie Xin ordered the fruit plate and wine, he closed the door of the private room and poured a cup of tea for Tang Baozhu.

"Miss Tang Er, time is running out, so I won't beat around the bush with you."

Tang Baozhu had just sat down, and the chair wasn't even warm yet. When she heard Xie Xin's words, she felt a little uneasy.

"Mr. Xie, you don't have to be so polite. I will definitely not refuse any help I can give."

When Xie Xin heard Tang Baozhu say this, he said frankly,

"To be honest, Miss Tang Er, I have been deeply moved since I heard your words in Suhe Town last time."

Tang Baozhu frowned, only to hear Xie Xin continue,

"You said, 'Even if it means bankruptcy, it doesn't matter. It's for the sake of prestige in the inheritance of Chinese intangible cultural heritage. The Japanese invaders and other scoundrels want to get involved in the silk weaving business. It's simply a pipe dream.' This is enough to show the heart and spirit of Miss Tang Er."

Tang Baozhu breathed a sigh of relief.

"You're talking about this, isn't this what we should do? To face death with equanimity and to refuse to surrender is the spirit of our Chinese people."

Xie Xin clapped his hands.

"Well said. I actually have another reason for bringing you here. This place is not only a place of entertainment, but also a place where the Japanese invaders like to stay. You can find out a lot of good things here. Besides, I am a small shareholder here."

Tang Baozhu hesitated for a moment. Why was Xie Xin always a small shareholder?

"The Xie family is very good at doing business. They don't put all their eggs in one basket."

Xie Xin waved his hand.

"Don't joke, I know I'm not cut out for business. That's why the Xie family's fortune was scattered all over the place. But my father supported me. Otherwise, the Xie family would have climbed into the top ten of the Shanghai rich list. But the Xie family motto is that every man is responsible for the fate of his country."

Tang Baozhu paused for a moment while holding the teacup, and suddenly realized something.

Xie Xin was a member of the Patriotic Association and an active activist against the Japanese invaders, but Xie Xin died young because of this.

Xie Xin was able to gamble the entire Xie family and use all of it to participate in the fight against the Japanese invaders. This spirit is worthy of praise. Moreover, Xie Xin later lost his life because of this. How could such a great patriotic hero have any bad intentions?

She suddenly understood why Xie Xin was looking for her.

Xie Xin wanted to persuade Ning Jinchuan to join the Patriotic Association and donate money to it, but Ning Jinchuan would not easily break his business principles, so Xie Xin wanted to persuade Ning Jinchuan through her.

"Mr. Xie, I understand. If I can do it, I will definitely not refuse."

Xie Xin looked at her with sparkling eyes.

"Do you really understand what I mean?"

Tang Baozhu smiled.

“Of course, this process is difficult, but perseverance is the belief that you will win. I believe you will succeed.”

"Thank you for understanding me. Ning Er is right. You are a good confidant. This is the turning point for our nation's crisis to great rejuvenation. We can only succeed."

Looking at Xie Xin who was full of fighting spirit, Tang Baozhu suddenly felt inferior for a moment. The future era was created by them with their flesh and blood. The future stability, prosperity and prosperity were all the result of their hard work. She suddenly understood the meaning of her transmigration into the book.

To protect the family business, change the fate of the original owner, and devote oneself to fighting against the Japanese invaders and liberating China, this is a more meaningful thing.

"Mr. Xie's words made me feel a lot. I suddenly understood what I wanted and was determined about what I needed to do in the future."

Xie Xin was a little excited and spoke incoherently.

"I knew it, I knew it, we are allies. I was right. He is a mentor and a helpful friend. It is rare to have a few bosom friends in life."

"Let's not talk about this. Do you have any problems that need to be solved now?"

Xie Xin pursed his lips and said frankly,

"The situation in China is not optimistic now. The troops stationed in other provinces chose to surrender unconditionally because of insufficient funds. The provinces fell in an instant and were occupied by the Japanese invaders, turning into a hell. Now the Patriotic Association has noticed that the Japanese invaders seem to have the next move. The Shanghai Army Governor Cao Yang was injured some time ago and retreated to the second line. The Shanghai Army has temporarily scattered because it has no leader and no funds injected. So we want to raise funds, recommend a patriotic Shanghai Army Governor, and then build a tough Shanghai Army."

Tang Baozhu pondered for a moment.

"Perhaps, you can consider Qiu Hu. He is someone I know. His character and personality are acceptable. You can investigate him first. As for the funds, they cannot be raised in a short time. You can slowly think of a solution."

Xie Xin nodded.

"It's a coincidence. I know a lot about Qiu Hu. He was born in the army and has been with Cao Yang for some time. He has made good military achievements, is efficient in doing things, and has a fair personality. He is indeed a hot candidate. As for whether he can become a military governor, it depends on his own ability. The key is funding. If Ning Jinchuan is willing to give in, it will definitely not be a difficult task."

"It's understandable that Mr. Ning doesn't agree. After all, he has the entire Shanghai Chamber of Commerce behind him. He will incur a lot of interest if he uses funds. Moreover, for him, this is something that doesn't have any return. He values ​​profit, so of course he will consider profit first."

Xie Xin sighed slightly.

"So, this is where I'm in a dilemma. Cao Yang used to ask him for money a lot, and he's not that heartless. The Shanghai Army was able to rise largely because of his support. Now Cao Yang has retreated to the second line, and his previous money has gone down the drain. He has no intention of investing in the army again. I want to appeal to his emotions and reason with him, but he doesn't want to see me at all, and won't even give me a chance."

Tang Baozhu thought of what she had said to Ning Jinchuan before. It was also a case of moral kidnapping and national justice. Although Ning Jinchuan seemed unwilling and unconcerned on the surface, he eventually sacrificed his own interests to help the Tang family overcome the difficulties.

"Maybe, he's not the kind of person who values ​​profit, maybe he's also afraid of being soft-hearted, so he just avoids you."

"No matter what, I hope I can convince him this time."
