Emperor Winter
Xu Wenqiang nodded with a smile and invited,"This is just a friendly martial arts meet. I have heard a lot about Master Chen and I admire him very much. Don't let such a small matter affect our relationship. Let's go. I'll treat Master Chen to a meal today.”
Finished talking, Xu Wenqiang brought Dian Wei down the arena first.
The disciples of the Jingwu Sect gathered around and asked.
"Eldest Senior Brother, what exactly happened just now? This Xu Wenqiang wouldn't have played a trick, right? How can I defeat you in one move?"
Chen Zhen's face turned stiff as he scolded," Shut up! Master Xu's kung fu is obvious to all. I, Chen Zhen, am not a sore loser. If you say that again, I'll punish you with a month of confinement."”
The disciple stuck out his tongue and didn't dare to say anything else.
Chen Zhen looked at Xu Wenqiang's back and muttered,""I'm afraid I won't be able to reach Master Xu's realm in my entire life…"
Xu Wenqiang and Chen Zhen went straight to the Great Three Yuan Hotel. The surrounding crowd gradually dispersed. They could still hear the faint sounds of discussion. They were all discussing today's match. Each of them was in high spirits. They wished that they were the ones on the stage at that time.
In the crowd, a shifty-eyed man looked at the backs of Xu Wenqiang and Chen Zhen. He took a deep breath and turned to disappear into the crowd.
At the Japanese Embassy.
The shifty-looking man in the crowd knocked on the door of the Japanese ambassador to China.
Kitano Yuzo put down his work and said in a deep voice,""Come in."
The man pushed open the door and walked in, standing in front of Kitano Yuzo.
"What's the matter?"
This man was a secret agent that Kitano Yuzo had secretly trained in Shanghai. He was in charge of gathering information that he needed.
"Ambassador, I went to watch the match between Chen Zhen and Xu Wenqiang today."”
"Oh?" Kitano Yuzo showed interest and asked,""How many minutes did Xu Wenqiang last in Chen Zhen's hands?”
In his opinion, how could Xu Wenqiang be a match for Chen Zhen? Chen Zhen's martial arts was probably not inferior to Japan's number one samurai, Taoka Jiro, or even stronger.
"Ambassador, Chen Zhen was defeated by Xu Wenqiang in just one move.”
" Oh, he only took one move. This Xu Wenqiang seems to be just…" Kitano Yuzo's eyes suddenly widened."What did you say? Chen Zhen was defeated by Xu Wenqiang in one move?”
"Yes." The man nodded affirmatively.
Kitano Yuzo took a deep breath and leaned back in his chair, deep in thought.
He knew about the news that the Japanese had sent Taoka Jiro, but now it seemed that even Chen Zhen was not his match. He was afraid that Taoka Jiro would not be able to last long under Xu Wenqiang, and might even lose more miserably than Chen Zhen.
Kitano Yuzo frowned deeply. The dignity of the Great Japan Empire could not be challenged. It seemed that he had to think of a way…
Chen Zhen and Xu Wenqiang chatted to their heart's content. Chen Zhen admired Xu Wenqiang's martial arts and wanted to befriend him. After the banquet, the host and guest were happy.
Chen Zhen was a theater fan. After dinner, he dragged Xu Wenqiang along and invited him to the theater. Xu Wenqiang wasn't very interested in this, but he couldn't refuse, so he followed Chen Zhen.
In the car, Xu Wenqiang had just sat down when the system notification sounded in his ear.
"This round of lottery draw begins. Do you want to draw now?”
Xu Wenqiang's brows twitched, and he nodded and said,""Lottery!"
The wheel spun and the treasure chest opened.
An opera disc fell into Xu Wenqiang's hands.
[Drama Disc (Complete): It contains all kinds of singing styles and programs.]
[Remarks: Learn all of them, you will be a master of opera!]
What was the use of this thing?
Xu Wenqiang was speechless. He shook his head and kicked her in his arms.
Chen Zhen brought Xu Wenqiang directly to the Meihua Theater.
Xu Wenqiang knew that this place belonged to Feng Jingyao's business and was now managed by his subordinate, Li Wangqi.
In fact, Xu Wenqiang also had a theater under his own hands, called the Lido Theater, but the business was very bleak. Xu Wenqiang didn't go much, so there was basically no business.
However, as soon as he arrived here, Xu Wenqiang felt the difference. The people here were almost overcrowded, and the high hall was full.
Chen Zhen pulled Xu Wenqiang to find a seat and sat down. Soon, the show began.
The loud and clear singing echoed in the theater. Chen Zhen was tapping the beat with an intoxicated look on his face, enjoying it very much. Xu Wenqiang, on the other hand, had nothing to do. He didn't understand what the song was about at all.
It wasn't until a female senior student appeared that the atmosphere at the scene became even more enthusiastic. Many people cheered loudly and pulled Xu Wenqiang's gaze back to the stage.
This female senior was dressed in a dignified manner. She held three strands of long beard in her hands and walked in a square manner. The moment she opened her mouth, her skills shocked everyone.
Listening carefully, Xu Wenqiang also noticed that this female senior's singing was different from the previous ones. The singing was solemn and heavy, and there was no female sound in the Kun sound. If one closed their eyes, they would not be able to imagine that this was a woman singing.
Xu Wenqiang tugged at Chen Zhen, who was immersed in his thoughts, and whispered,""Who is this woman?"
"You don't know, Master Xu?" Chen Zhen came back to his senses and smiled. This woman was very famous in Meihua Theater. Her name was Meng Xiaodong.”
Meng Xiaodong!
Xu Wenqiang was shocked. He had naturally heard of Meng Xiaodong's name. Later generations called him " Winter Emperor ". He was the disciple of the famous senior student Yu Shuyan and one of the outstanding successors of the Yu Sect. His reputation was similar to Mei Lanfang's.
Xu Wenqiang looked at Meng Xiaodong on the stage. He could tell that the woman in front of him was only fifteen or sixteen years old. She was still far from becoming the Winter Emperor.
It just so happened that he had just drawn an opera disc, so he might as well give it to Meng Xiaodong. If he could poach her to his theater, then the theater would immediately be revived.
As time passed, the performance in the theater finally ended. Many people were still reluctant to leave as they reminisced. Xu Wenqiang stopped Meng Xiaodong in a corner of the theater.
Meng Xiaodong looked at him strangely. She didn't know what this man wanted to do.
Xu Wenqiang smiled as he took out the opera disc and handed it to Meng Xiaodong.
"You sang very well just now. This disc is for you. I hope it will be of help to you. If you need anything, you can come and find me.”
Meng Xiaodong looked at him and saw that he didn't have any other intentions. She thought that he liked her admirer, so she didn't pay much attention to it and put away the opera disc.
Meng Xiaodong left the theater and returned home. She originally wanted to go straight to sleep, but today's performance was not too tiring. She remembered the opera disc that Xu Wenqiang had given her, so she took it out and put it on the record player.
Melodious music slowly flowed out from the record player. Meng Xiaodong was stunned when she heard the sound. She had never heard this kind of singing style and style before, but it was so integrated that it made her feel intoxicated.
The more she listened, the more shocked she became. Not only was it the singing style, but there were also many programs that she had never heard of before. It was a completely different world that she did not know about.
This album contained many genre and programs, which opened Meng Xiaodong's eyes. She couldn't help but sing along softly.
She had always wanted to improve her skills, but in this era, it was very difficult to learn. Many people did not take in disciples easily. Moreover, she was a woman. If she wanted to sing the role of a senior, she could not find a famous teacher to teach her.
Now that she had this record, she could quickly improve her skills in a short period of time. She might even become a master of folk arts in the future.
Meng Xiaodong clenched his small fists, turned around, and took out the business card Xu Wenqiang gave him. He gave Xu Wenqiang a call.
Xu Wenqiang picked up the phone and immediately heard Meng Xiaodong's excited voice.
"Mr. Xu, right? The opera disc you gave me is simply too useful. It's been a great help to me. Thank you.”
Xu Wenqiang smiled and said," It's good that it's useful. Anyway, it's a waste to keep this thing with me. Giving it to you is the best way to end it."”
Meng Xiaodong's pretty face blushed as she said,""Mr. Xu, I'm very grateful. How about this? If you have time, I'd like to treat you to a meal.”
Xu Wenqiang smiled and said," Of course I have time. Just tell me. When will it be? I'll definitely be punctual."”
Meng Xiaodong thought for a moment and said," Then let's do it tomorrow afternoon. It's a deal. Don't be late."”
Xu Wenqiang couldn't help but laugh and nodded."Alright."
After hanging up the phone, Meng Xiaodong couldn't help but play the record again and didn't fall asleep until late at night.
The next afternoon, Xu Wenqiang and Meng Xiaodong sat in a quiet restaurant.
Meng Xiaodong raised a glass of red wine and said solemnly,""Mr. Xu, thanks to your opera disc, I can already feel that my techniques are improving at a very fast speed.”
Xu Wenqiang smiled and touched her, suddenly suggesting,""Since I've helped you so much, why don't you do me a favor?”
"Tell me, as long as I can do it."”
Xu Wenqiang said," Actually, I also have a theater under me called the Lido Theater. You should have heard of it before, but the business is not very good, and the business is very bleak. So I want to invite you to perform in my theater and support me. How about it?"”
Meng Xiaodong agreed without hesitation."No problem. You've helped me so much. You're thinking highly of me by inviting me.”
Xu Wenqiang smiled brightly.”
