Chapter 68 I almost became sworn brothers with a forty-year-old man



Xu Zhuohua's eyes darted around, and she looked at Xinghua.

Although this girl is chubby, she is incredibly flexible. If you teach her any dance move, she will definitely learn it in less than three tries.

When it comes to teaching people to dance, Xinghua is the most suitable person.

"I'll pass. I don't have the time or interest, and I have a bad impression of Paramount. Since Mr. Huo has shown his sincerity, I won't refuse. My friend here is also a master. If Mr. Huo is interested, you can try to persuade her to come out of retirement."

Mr. Huo's eyes lit up. "May I ask how this young lady is addressed?"

Xinghua tugged at Xu Zhuohua's sleeve, "Miss, what are you talking about?"

Xu Zhuohua raised an eyebrow and looked at Boss Huo. "I think we need to discuss this and reply to Boss Huo tomorrow."

Mr. Huo was afraid that Xu Zhuohua was subtly refusing him, so he took out a gold pocket watch from the inside pocket of his suit jacket.

"To show my sincerity, this is my deposit for this young lady."

Xinghua looked blank and didn't dare to answer, "Miss."

Xu Zhuohua smiled and accepted the gold watch from Boss Huo. "Okay, thank you."

Boss Huo knew that Xu Zhuohua had agreed, and he smiled like an old chrysanthemum, "See you at the same time tomorrow."

Xu Zhuohua walked away holding Xinghua's hand, and Xinghua kept asking her questions along the way.

"Miss, what kind of job are you hiring? Did you just sell me out?"

"Hahahaha!" Xu Zhuohua laughed so hard she almost fell over. "Your indenture was torn up by your second brother a long time ago, how could I sell you?"

"Then why did Boss Huo give you such an expensive gold watch just now? Wasn't it to buy my deposit?"

Xinghua looked aggrieved, and Xu Zhuohua couldn't help but tease her, "Yes, it is indeed a deposit, but it's not for you, it's for me."

"No, Miss!" Xinghua grabbed Xu Zhuohua's clothes and shook her back and forth. "Miss, you should just sell me!"

"Okay, then I'll sell you."

"...Um...Miss...Waaah..."

Apricot Blossom cried again.

Xu Zhuohua hugged him tightly, "Oh dear, I'm not going to sell you, I'm going to have you teach dancers to dance."

Xinghua looked up, her eyes brimming with tears, and asked, "Huh?"

"I'll teach you to dance. You can go to the Paramount and teach dancers. You'll get ten silver dollars a day."

Xinghua's eyes immediately lit up with stars, "Ten yuan?!"

"Hmm, maybe more. Do you want to go?"

"I want to go!"

Xu Zhuohua was very happy that Xinghua did not refuse because Paramount was a messy place.

Aren't you scared?

Xinghua shook her head. "I'm not afraid. Didn't Miss say that we should be self-reliant?"

Xu Zhuohua tapped Xinghua on the head, "Not bad, Xinghua, you're quite enlightened now."

I gave Xinghua some expedited training and changed her name to Xu Xinghua.

I am fortunate to have been born in China.

The next day, the master and servant went to the Paramount Ballroom together.

The Paramount Ballroom is quiet during the day, without any messy lights creating a chaotic atmosphere. The dancers are not heavily made up; upon closer inspection, they are just young faces.

Xinghua taught very seriously, and more importantly, she was very happy, as if she had found the meaning of life, radiating light.

Xu Zhuohua sat in the private room when Boss Huo handed her a bundle of tied-up silver dollars, which Xu Zhuohua glanced at casually.

"Boss Huo, ten silver dollars is too much."

Mr. Huo smiled and said, "I am very touched that Miss Xu is willing to put aside past grievances, so I have raised the price to twenty yuan."

Xu Zhuohua weighed it in his hand. "Twenty yuan a day, isn't Boss Huo afraid of going bankrupt?"

Mr. Huo looked up at the opulent decorations in the private room. "Miss Xu, don't you know the magic of the Paramount? Making money is like printing money every day."

Xu Zhuohua: "Since Mr. Huo is so lucky, I won't stand on ceremony."

"It is my honor that Miss Xu does not stand on ceremony with me."

Xu Zhuohua raised his glass, "Then let's wish each other a pleasant cooperation."

Mr. Huo also raised his glass, saying, "It's a pleasure doing business with you."

After a glass of wine, Boss Huo was in a good mood and became more talkative.

“Miss Xu is really different from other young ladies I’ve met. You’ve never looked down on someone like me.”

Xu Zhuohua laughed: "We're all just trying to make a living. As long as Boss Huo is eating well and enjoying himself, that's all that matters."

Boss Huo shook his head. "Actually, that's not the case. Those wealthy and powerful families all look down on people like me."

Xu Zhuohua frowned slightly. "The future will be different from the present. In the future, it will belong to the people."

"Is it the same as what Mr. Lin Shuwen said?"

Xu Zhuohua was surprised, "You went yesterday too?"

Mr. Huo nodded, "Hearing Mr. Lin's words is more valuable than reading books for ten years."

"I didn't expect Mr. Huo to be such a sentimental person. I'll consider you a friend."

Boss Huo's eyes suddenly lit up. "Really? We're in such high spirits today, why don't we become sworn brothers and sisters right here and now!"

Xu Zhuohua was stunned for a moment, not expecting Boss Huo to be so enthusiastic. She didn't want to become sworn brothers with a man in his forties.

"Never mind..."

Fearing that if they didn't refuse, Boss Huo would have to swear a blood oath.

"Miss!"

At the critical moment, the savior arrived.

Xinghua came in carrying a huge bouquet of flowers, as happy as a fool. She threw the flowers away and then rushed into Xu Zhuohua's arms.

"Miss, I'm so happy!"

Seeing the close relationship between the master and servant, Boss Huo quietly left the private room.

"Miss, I just saw Young Marshal Cheng. He went into a private room."

Xu Zhuohua didn't care much; he was sure the man wasn't there to see him anyway.

Given Cheng Muyun's personality, if he wanted to find me, he wouldn't go to another private room; he would come directly to me.

"He probably has something on his mind."

Xinghua nodded. "Maybe so. There's a policeman with a cold expression in the private room. They're probably talking about something very important."

A policeman with a cold face?

Chen Hede?

How did they end up together?

Yes, to mingle.

No, I have to go and take a look.

Xu Zhuohua walked to the door. "Which private room?"

Xinghua pointed to the opposite side, "That one."

A person appeared in the corridor, and the two immediately turned their heads away.

Liang Shaozun walked into the door that Xinghua had just pointed out, and then gently closed it.

Liang Shaozun? Chen Hede? Cheng Muyun?

How did these three people end up together?

Why is Chan Hok-tak also involved with Leung Siu-chun?

Although it's fake, he was real in history!

Danger! Danger! It's extremely dangerous!

Xu Zhuohua pushed open the door to the private room next door, put her ear close to the wall, and tried to hear what the three people were saying.

Liang Shaozun's voice came through, "Sorry I'm late."

Cheng Muyun said, "It's alright, sit down first. How did it go with taking over Liang Shaozun's affairs?"

Chen Hede disliked the fake Liang Shaozun's face very much and said in an unfriendly tone, "What's so difficult about taking over the work of a scoundrel?"

Liang Shaozun said, "We're basically ready to get started. Shall we take action?"
