When Tang Ying put on a long skirt that dragged the floor and climbed to the small stage in the middle of the first and second floor lobby, she gathered in the first and second floor lobby. Celebrities from all walks of life in the second floor lobby suddenly burst into applause, because next will be the climax of the welcome dinner, and the Shanghai celebrity Tang Ying will perform on the spot and perform "The Young Grandma's Fan".

In fact, Tang Ying's acting skills and singing style are still slightly different from those of professional Kunqu opera and Shanghai opera actors. In terms of beauty alone, there are many dancers in Shanghai who are more beautiful than her. However, combining the qualities of acting skills, beauty, family background, conversation and cultivation, Tang Ying immediately stood out.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many celebrities who would be tempted by Tang Ying.

After the performance of "The Young Grandma's Fan", the next time is the dance time. Many celebrities who claim to be young and rich and elegant, the young master is secretly ready to dance the first dance with Tang Ying. Although Mr. Xiong Qi is already engaged to Tang Ying, he may not have this honor.

The hotel's band conductor was just ready, but Tang Ying gestured to him. The band conductor was stunned for a moment and then put down the baton raised high, and the musicians also put down the instruments in their hands.

Tang Ying dragged the long skirt on the floor, walked to the microphone slowly and said, "Before the dance party, I want to take up a few minutes for everyone and say a few words."

The celebrity who was about to beat his hands suddenly raised his ears.

Tang Ying said: "The little Japanese will never die. After invading North China and East China, they turned their attention to the Central Plains. The brave soldiers of the National Army were fighting bloody battles with the Japanese invaders on the front line. Although I am just a woman and cannot go to the battlefield to kill the enemy and serve the country, I also want to do something within my ability. I want to take this opportunity to express my feelings."

The hotel Yisi, who had been secretly instructed by Tang Ying, stepped onto the stage and continued: "Ms. Tang Ying will donate two thousand French dollars to the Guojun. At the same time, I hope that everyone present can generously donate to the Guojun as much as possible. To express gratitude, Miss. Tang Ying will dedicate the first dance tonight to the guests who donated the most.

The young men and women present suddenly realized that they were going to raise funds, but they didn't mind that they met students holding donation boxes on the street. These young men and women may not be willing to pay one, but in order to make the beauty smile, they are definitely willing to spend a lot of money. On occasions like this tonight, they cannot afford to lose face.

The logistics officer who was lucky enough to attend the dinner was so excited that his face turned red. It was difficult to not get rich now.

Soon someone started to take action. After receiving the cash or check, the emcee began to report the number loudly: "Ling Xianyang, a famous scholar in Shanghai, donated 2,000 French coins; Fang Bofen, a famous scholar in Shanghai, deducted 2,000 French coins; Hu Shi, a professor at Peking University, donated 500 French coins; Chen Wangdao, former president of Fudan University, donated 500 French coins..."

These are just small minions, rats pull the drill, and the big head is still behind.

With the deliberate guidance of the hotel host and the fuel of Tang Ying, a fundraising campaign almost became a wealth-fighting campaign. The later, the more prominent the guests on stage became, the larger the amount of donations. Moreover, the guests behind basically donated cash, and they all donated checks or bank bills.

Seeing Tang Ying following the guest who came on stage to donate, Mr. Xiong Qi was unhappy. He took out a check and wrote down a number, and then went up to take a picture on the donation stand. The emcee's hands trembled when he picked up the check and shouted: "Mr. Xiong Xiong Xiong, the general agent of the China General Agent of Meiya Insurance Company, his nephew, Mr. Xiong Qi donated 50,000 yuan, and he would repay the ticket as soon as he saw it."

There was warm applause in the hall, and Mr. Xiong Qi nodded repeatedly, looking quite proud.

Mr. Xiong Qi looked at himself on the stage and inadvertently angered another older brother. This brother is Kong Lingkan, the eldest son of Minister of Finance Kong Xiangxi. Mr. Kong was spoiled since childhood, and even Chairman Jiang loved him very much. Since childhood, he has not been able to do what he wants to do, and he is always the focus.

Although Young Master Kong is only in his early twenties, he is already the actual head of the Central Trust Bureau. He holds a huge sum of millions of dollars, and it is US dollars, not fiat currency.

To be honest, Kong Lingkan was not very interested in Tang Ying. He just joined in the fun tonight, but Mr. Xiong Qi's complacent look made Master Kong angry. Boy, you are crazy in front of me, Master Kong. You are still young. So what if Tang Ying is your fiancée? This is the first dance master tonight. As for you, stay wherever you are cool.

Mr. Kong was interested in the face of Mr. Xiong Qi, but he didn't come to the stage at the moment. He just waved to the hotel host to him, then took a bank notice from his secretary and handed it over, and said calmly: "The promissory note of the Hankou Branch of Citibank in the United States is 50,000 US dollars, and it will be redeemed as soon as you see the bill."

The 50,000 US dollars is definitely not a small amount. According to the prices in the United States, you can almost buy two fighter jets.

However, for Mr. Kong, 50,000 US dollars is really nothing. When he was studying at St. John's University in Shanghai, Mr. Kong had tens of thousands of dollars in pocket money every month. After joining the Central Trust Bureau, Mr. Kong's show became even bigger. Sometimes he would pay tens of thousands of dollars in one night when playing cards with customers.

The hotel host was so excited that his legs trembled. He tripped and almost fell to eat shit when he went on stage. When the host reported the donation amount of Mr. Kong through the microphone, the audience was in an uproar. Tang Ying's beautiful eyes shone. He found Kong Lingkan, who was in the crowd, and smiled softly at him.

Kong Lingkan waved at Tang Ying with a cigar in his mouth.

Mr. Xiong Qi was so angry that his face turned pale, but he was helpless. Compared with power, Mr. Kong was the nephew of Chairman Jiang and his wealth. My son was the God of Wealth in the Republic of China. Even if he competed for his appearance, Mr. Xiong Qi was a little inferior to others. In front of Mr. Kong, Mr. Xiong Qi really had no temper at all.

Just when everyone thought that Tang Ying was going to dance the first dance with Young Master Kong tonight, a middle-aged man wearing a wide-brimmed hat took to the stage in a very low-key manner and placed another bank promissory note in front of the hotel steward. Seeing this bank promissory note, the hotel Yisi didn't react for a long time. This was a promissory note from the Hankou Branch of HSBC Bank in the UK, the amount was...100,000 pounds.

The hotel host trembled and picked up the promissory note, his voice trembling: "The guests in VIP Room No. 9 donated 100,000 pounds."

The guests present immediately looked at the VIP Room No. 9 on the second floor, and Mr. Kong's expression was also frozen.

Tang Ying's beautiful eyes were also full of glory. She dared to expose the face of Master Kong in public. She was so generous. I'm afraid that only that person would be the one. Tang Ying didn't expect that it had been so many years since he had passed, and he was still obsessed with him. But then again, wasn't she still keeping the love letter he wrote to her?

In the corner of the hall, Feng Shengfa was also shocked and asked Xu Shijiu in a low voice: "Ajiu, who is this person?"

Xu Shijiu smiled and said, "Who else can you? Apart from the eldest son of the Song family, who else dares to expose the face of Master Confucius in public?"

"So it's him." Feng Shengfa sneered, "It's a good thing that our nephew and uncle compete for the situation, but it's a good deal for our 74th Army."

While speaking, Kong Lingkan, Master Kong had already stood up and left angrily. Obviously, he had guessed who it was.

In the VIP room No. 9, Song Ziwen was holding a goblet and drinking leisurely. He did not intend to be jealous with his nephew. He just remembered the scene when he first met Tang Ying more than ten years ago, so he wanted to chat with Tang Ying. For this reason, he spent thousands of dollars and even left his nephew.

With Song Ziwen's rich wealth, 100,000 pounds is nothing, not to mention that he is now the chairman of the Bank of China, responsible for coordinating various banks to raise military expenses. Even if this donation is donated, it will still be deposited in the bank in the end. For Song Ziwen, this money is actually just flowing from the left pocket to the right pocket.

However, what happened next was a little beyond Song Ziwen's expectations.

On the stage, Tang Ying stood in front of the microphone again.

"First of all, Tang Ying sincerely thanks all the guests for their generous donations. Your kindness will bring thousands of injured soldiers back to the battlefield. In addition, I have a small suggestion." Tang Ying's soft eyes swept across the faces of celebrities from all walks of life present and said unexpectedly, "I want to hand over this donation directly to the combat troops."

As soon as the words came out, the logistics officer of the Ministry of Finance was almost choking to death when he was eating dessert.

Song Ziwen, who was leisurely tasting red wine in the VIP room, also changed his face.

Celebrities from all walks of life present were also whispering. Everyone knew that the corruption of the National Government had reached a hopeless level. As the Minister of Finance, Kong Xiangxi dared to take kickbacks even when purchasing guns and ammunition. Mrs. Jiang even dared to put the money for buying planes on Citibank to earn interest. It is said that the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked. If the donation is really given to the logistics and the Ministry of Finance, God knows how many people will fall on the soldiers of the National Army who really need it.

However, knowing that the National Government is corruption is one thing, and directly pointing it out is another thing.

Tang Ying was very taboo to do this. If it weren't for her special identity, she might have come to her with a spy from the Blue Clothing Club tomorrow.

"This donation is much smaller, but not much. If you share it with more than 10 or 20 divisions, it will become pepper sprinkling, which has limited effect, so I want to hand over the money to the troops with the most outstanding military achievements." As he said that, Tang Ying's eyes fell on He Yingqin, the Minister of Military Affairs, who was invited to attend the dinner, and asked, "General He, which unit did you say has the most outstanding military achievements?"

This made He Yingqin stumped. He lost the Battle of Shanghai and Nanjing defense. It was not easy to find a unit with outstanding military achievements. If you had to look for a taller person in the middle, the 74th Army would undoubtedly be the most outstanding.

During the Battle of Shanghai, although more than 4,000 officers and soldiers were killed, the 74th Army also killed more than 4,000 Japanese soldiers. It was the only unit among the dozens of troops participating in the battle that had a close number of casualties to the number of dead enemies. Qiu Weida's 30U regiment also fought a beautiful ambush in Guzhai, killing more than 500 Japanese soldiers. It was also the only local victory in the entire Battle of Shanghai.

In the Battle of Nanjing, the 74th Army also performed well, especially Feng Shengfa's 58th Division, which guarded Niushou Mountain, and even prevented the Japanese Di Pei regiment from advancing. In the end, although the 74th Army suffered more than 6,000 officers and soldiers, it also killed and wounded nearly 4,000 Japanese troops. The two divisions under it were the most outstanding among the 14 divisions participating in the battle.

However, when he said that, He Yingqin changed his mouth and said, "Of course it is the Central Military Academy Teaching Corps."

"Is that right?" Tang Ying asked with a smile, "But General He, why did I hear that the 74th Army killed the most in the Battle of Shanghai, not the Central Military Academy's Teaching Corps?"

He Yingqin was slightly suffocated and said, "The Central Military Academy Teaching Corps fought bravely in Zijin Mountain."

"But Zijin Mountain was soon lost, right?" Tang Ying said again, "It was because the 74th Army fought extremely tenaciously on the Southeast defense line, especially when the 58th Division guarded Niushou Mountain. The two elite Japanese divisions attacked for several days and were unable to advance. General He, am I right?"

He Yingqin was speechless, of course he could not deny these things, and he had already seen that Feng Shengfa should have had contact with Tang Ying long ago, and Tang Ying had already decided to hand over the donation to the 74th Army. Asking for his opinion was just a formality. Even if other troops fought better than the 74th Army, the result was the same.

"I just seemed to see General Feng Shengfa, the commander of the 58th Division." Tang Ying smiled slightly, ignored everyone's surprise, and asked the crowd below, "Is General Feng Shengfa here?"
