Chapter 80 The show begins

A huge banner was hung in front of the Nanjing Grand Theater.

It says "Shanghai Labor Union invites celebrities from all walks of life to perform charity shows."

The path in front of the theater was already crowded with people, and celebrities from all walks of life came to show their support under the organization of the Labor Union.

The Shanghai Labor Union is definitely a very large organization.

Before the third armed uprising of Shanghai workers in 16, the Huzhou Guild Hall had been occupied by the Fengtian-Lu warlord army.

On March 3, after the armed workers' pickets captured the guild hall, the Shanghai Labor Union used the Huzhou Guild Hall as its clubhouse and officially resumed operations on the 23th.

A huge banner with white letters on red cloth reading "Shanghai Labor Union" was hung above the gate of the guild hall.

The convalescent villa became the base of the special forces battalion of the General Federation of Trade Unions’ picket team.

When the Battle of Shanghai broke out last year, the recuperation villa was also listed as a bombing target.

After the disaster, only the side rooms on both sides of Shed C remained in the villa.

In the past, Chen Yang would not have dared to provoke the Labor Union so blatantly. After all, everyone knew the details of the Labor Union.

That was the group that couldn't be more popular.

However, things are different now. In order to convince the Japanese that the article in the newspaper was written by the Red Party, he can only ask Gao Tianjiu to come forward and ask the union leaders to help organize a charity performance.

Moreover, Chen Yang also made a promise to the other party that he would bear the venue fees and all profits would belong to the union.

Unions also need money to maintain themselves, especially after the bombing, when everyone didn't even have a proper place to work.

Otherwise, they would not have exchanged tungsten mines for weapons in order to support military operations in northern Anhui.

That's really poor, there's nothing I can do...

Chen Yang's move was exactly what they wanted. They didn't have to spend any money themselves and could still earn some income for free.

The most crucial thing is that someone happened to publish the news of the Nanjing Massacre in the newspaper.

All the workers were furious and filled with indignation, so this charity performance was justified...

In front of the theater, Chen Yang stood at the door with Haili, waiting for the theater entrance. When he opened the system page, Chen Yang was slightly stunned.

There are several red dots hidden among the yellow dots.

When I clicked on it, I saw that they were all people from the Special Higher Police, but they were all subordinates of the First Action Team's Nagakuni Otari.

Chen Yang was very proud. It seemed that his efforts were not in vain. These little devils really set their sights on the Labor Union.

"Boss Chen, you're here quite early." A voice came. Chen Yang looked intently and saw Kong Lingwei walking over with a female companion.

This woman is obviously different from those heavily made-up stars like Zhou Xuan. Looking at her picturesque eyebrows and eyes and her delicate expression, she should be from a good family.

It is said that Miss Kong Er likes married women the most. It seems that the rumor is true.

However, such a girl actually wants to be a thief, which makes men a little angry...

"Hello, General Manager..." Chen Yang replied politely.

Kong Lingwei looked at Haley beside Chen Yang, his eyes constantly on her.

"Boss Chen, who is this?"

"Oh, she's my fiancée, Hayley, Louise."

"Sorry, she doesn't understand Chinese..."

Kong Lingwei said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, I also know a little English."

Damn, you are blatantly trying to cuckold me.

This is really something that the uncle can tolerate, but the aunt can’t tolerate..

In that case, don't blame me for being rude.

"Ha, the general manager is well-versed in both Chinese and Western culture. I admire him. I wonder who this lady is?"

The woman lowered her head shyly upon hearing this, and kept pulling Kong Lingwei's arm, obviously not intending to let Chen Yang know her identity.

Unfortunately, she didn't know that her information had already been seen by Chen Yang.

"Xie Huizhi, female, Chinese, wife of Qian Jinsong, commander of the 17th Division of the th Army of the National Army..."

Oh, she's still an official wife...

Kong Lingwei noticed something was wrong with Xie Huizhi and quickly patted the back of her hand, signaling her not to panic.

Then, he changed the subject and said, "Boss Chen, let's go in first."

After saying that, without waiting for Chen Yang to refuse, he walked straight to the theater door.

The guard seemed to know Kong Lingwei's identity and did not dare to delay for a moment and let him pass.

It's a privilege, it's amazing...

After entering the theater, Chen Yang discovered that those business celebrities had already found their seats.

He Tingran of Lianhua and Lin Guohua of Guohua Films are both members of Qilin Society.

No wonder Kong Lingwei felt like he was back home.

"General manager,"

"General manager..."

Seeing Kong Lingwei coming in, several tycoons hurriedly stood up to greet him.

"Everyone, please take a seat."

"Boss Chen, you and your wife can sit here."

Kong Lingwei asked Haley to sit next to her. Haley didn't understand why, but sat down happily, which made Chen Yang frown.

As the group sat down, Lin Guohua looked at Chen Yang and said, "I heard that Boss Chen got that little singer to perform in the main position."

"It seems that Boss Chen has put a lot of effort into winning..."

"However, there is a saying that goes 'You lose more than you gain'. In such a large gathering of thousands of people, you let a little singer perform the main show."

"If it's not done right, it will be a real joke."

Chen Yang smiled slightly and said slowly: "For us businessmen, the brave ones always die of overeating and the timid ones die of starvation."

"Boss Lin can't afford to lose, right?"

Humph, Lin Guohua snorted coldly and said in a gloomy tone: "Boss Chen, it is still unknown who will win. You are too arrogant to say this now. Do you think you will win for sure?"

"Of course," Chen Yang answered simply.

"Just wait and see." Lin Guohua turned his head and looked at the stage angrily.

After seven o'clock, the Nanjing Grand Theater opened its doors and crowds of people poured in, filling all 1,500 seats.

And even that wasn't enough, the corridors were packed with people.

The curtain on the stage slowly opened, and the host came on stage and gave an impassioned speech, which drew cheers from the workers below.

After the host finished his speech, he quickly invited the first performer of the evening party.

Kuang Liannian is a disciple of the famous Peking Opera artist Mr. Ma.

Generally, the first and last programs of a party are very important.

If the opening is not good, the atmosphere will not build up later, which is what people call a cold reception.

Kuang Liannian is Boss Ma’s favorite student, and he started off by performing Boss Ma’s signature play, “Borrowing the East Wind.”

With this excellent example, the actors who followed also began to perform with all their heart.

The best shows come one after another.

The audience was mesmerized by the more than two-hour performance and burst into applause.

Soon, it was time for the final performance of the evening.

When the host announced the performer's name, Gu Qinghuan, there was not much applause from the audience.

This name is really unheard of, but I don’t know how she could surpass Li Lan, Ruan Yu, and even Zhou Xuan, who are famous stars in Shanghai, and get the main position.

The lights around went out and the whole audience was silent. At this moment, a song that pierced the depths of the soul rang out from behind the curtain.

"A big river, with wide waves..."
