After she became the daughter of a vicious warlord, she cleaned herself up

Jiang Shiyuan glanced at his watch and suggested with a smile: "Brother Jing, thank you for agreeing to help me with the stock affairs today. Why don't I treat you to dinner?"

"Just think of it as a wish for a big rise in the stock price of Jiayuan Pharmaceutical, and a lot of money rolling in!"

When Chen Jing'an heard this, he immediately perked up, thinking that this little girl had finally come to her senses and was willing to take the initiative to treat him to a meal!

"Okay, where do you want to eat?" Chen Jing'an asked excitedly with an expectant look on his face.

"Then let's go to the Lowe Hotel on Xiafei Road. I happen to have a VIP courtesy card that can give me a discount!"

Chen Jingan's eyes lit up, "Okay, let's go to the Lowe Hotel. I haven't been there for a long time!"

"I never thought you were quite good at living!"

Jiang Shiyuan smiled complacently, "Of course, it's so cool to go to such a high-end restaurant and get the best deal!"

As night falls, Xiafei Road is bustling with traffic and neon lights flashing.

The entrance of Lowe Hotel is filled with luxury cars and well-dressed people, showing the decadence and extravagance of the foreign concessions.

Chen Jing'an parked the car and walked side by side with Jiang Shiyuan, chatting and laughing as they entered the hotel.

"Good evening, sir, ma'am, do you have a reservation?" the waiter at the door asked respectfully.

"I don't have a reservation, but I have this card." Jiang Shiyuan said, taking out the VIP courtesy card from her exquisite little handbag.

The waiter took the card, checked it carefully, and a smile immediately appeared on his face.

"It's Miss Jiang. Hello, hello, please follow me!"

The waiter respectfully led the two to a private seat by the window, lit candles, and poured them the premium red wine that the store provided as a gift. Everything was arranged perfectly.

Jiang Shiyuan handed the menu to Chen Jingan, who ordered a few of Lowe Hotel's signature dishes. The two ate and chatted in a relaxed and harmonious atmosphere.

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Chen Jing'an put down his knife and fork, looked at Jiang Shiyuan who was in high spirits opposite him, and his heart moved.

"Ayuan, after dinner, I'll treat you to a movie, okay?"

Jiang Shiyuan was slightly stunned. After traveling through time for so long, she had never been to a movie theater from the Republic of China era!

"Okay, what movie do you want to watch?"

"I heard that the Grandview Cinema has just released a new domestic film called Street Angel, which has received very good reviews. Shall we go and see it?" Chen Jing'an suggested with a smile.

"Okay, then let's go to the Grandview Cinema!" Jiang Shiyuan smiled and agreed happily.

The Grandview Cinema is located on Jing'an Temple Road. It was once China's first wide-screen cinema, the first stereo cinema, and the first four-star cinema.

It enjoys the reputation of "the first cinema in the Far East" and is also one of the most famous landmark buildings in Shanghai.

When the two arrived at the cinema, there was already a long line at the door, and it was crowded and bustling.

Chen Jingan finally bought two movie tickets for Street Angel, and let Jiang Shiyuan squeeze into the screening room with popcorn and Coke, holding her shoulders.

The two found their corresponding seats and sat down. Jiang Shiyuan looked at everything in the Republic of China Cinema with curiosity, feeling it was novel and interesting.

In the real world, she had heard of Street Angel, a classic Republican film starring Zhao Dan and Zhou Xuan, who were very famous movie stars at the time.

The film is set against the backdrop of urban life in Shanghai in the 20s and tells the love story between the singer Xiaohong and the drummer Chen Shaoping.

In addition, the film also vividly reproduces the miserable life of the lower class people in Chinese cities in the 20s through the tragic and happy experiences of several small characters in a joyful and passionate tone, and severely criticizes those wealthy businessmen and industrialists who are unkind and greedy.

Although the film was in black and white, the interesting plot, superb acting skills and moving soundtrack deeply attracted Jiang Shiyuan.

She seemed to be really in the movie, sharing the same breath and fate with the protagonist, and feeling the love, hatred and emotions of that era.

The one and a half hour movie ended quickly and thunderous applause broke out in the theater.

"What do you think, Ayuan? Do you think this movie is good?" Chen Jing'an turned his head and asked her with bright eyes.

"It's great!" Jiang Shiyuan was quite excited, and instantly turned into a professional film critic. "It's funny and realistic, and it sees the big picture from the small. It's a good film that can make people think deeply!"

Chen Jing'an took the empty popcorn bucket from Jiang Shiyuan's hand, threw it into the trash can, and then grinned.

"As long as you like it, I will take you to the movies often in the future!"

Unexpectedly, Jiang Shiyuan waved his hand in a nonchalant manner, "Oh, no, no, I just want to indulge myself tonight."

"Starting tomorrow, I will devote myself to the research and development of domestic sulfonamides!"

When Chen Jingan heard this, the light in his eyes dimmed instantly, and then returned to the appearance of a happy puppy.

"Right now, work is indeed the most important thing, so I fully support you and will definitely not hold you back!"

The two followed the crowd out of the cinema. It was already late at night and the street lights were dim, making their figures look particularly slender.

Chen Jing'an drove Jiang Shiyuan back to the downstairs of Wanguo Apartment and even politely went around to the passenger seat to open the door for Jiang Shiyuan.

"Brother Jing, I had a lot of fun tonight. Thank you for treating me to a movie!" Jiang Shiyuan thanked him sincerely.

Chen Jing'an wanted to take the opportunity to embrace Jiang Shiyuan's slender waist and give her a gentle kiss on the forehead, so as to bring them closer.

But after Jiang Shiyuan got off the car, he seemed to stand far away on purpose to avoid physical contact with him.

When Chen Jing'an realized this, he felt a sudden pang of sadness in his heart. He raised his arm slightly, but finally slowly put it down.

Finally, he could only say reluctantly: "You're welcome, Yuan. I'll be leaving first. You should get some rest early..."

Jiang Shiyuan waved at her, "Yeah, you too, drive carefully on the road!"

Watching Chen Jingan's car disappear into the night, Jiang Shiyuan turned and walked into the apartment building.

She had indeed deliberately distanced herself from Chen Jing'an just now. Although the two of them were engaged, Jiang Shiyuan knew very well that this marriage would definitely not take place in the end.

This was true in the original version of “The Lantern Bearer,” and it is even more true today.

Therefore, she didn't want Chen Jing'an to fall too deeply, and she would definitely not respond to his love.

Born in this turbulent and chaotic era of the Republic of China, they should focus on things more important than love!

After returning to the room, Jiang Shiyuan had no desire to sleep.

So she unfolded the letter paper and began to write the interrogation report of the Japanese spy "Nightingale" in Inoue Mansion last night.

The pure gold nib of the Parker fountain pen kept sliding across the letter paper, making a rustling sound in the quiet night.

Inoue Mansion, this Japanese spy tumor buried in Shanghai for many years, it's time to eradicate it completely!
