Lost and Spy

Chapter 217 Arrogant and Domineering
Every new year, the banquet held by Du Yuesheng is always a major feature.

Not to mention the prominent and respectable members of the Shanghai Youth Gang, celebrities from all walks of life, even politicians, were also proud to receive Du Yuesheng's invitation.

Of course, not everyone is like that.

Some famous people are still ashamed to eat at the same table with someone like Du Yuesheng.

In their eyes, a hooligan will always be a hooligan. No matter how much he tries to cleanse himself, he wants to disassociate himself from the identity of a hooligan, but this brand has been deeply engraved on them.

For example, Yu Daxiong, editor-in-chief of "Crystal News" published on the [-]rd, and Du Yuesheng are at odds.

Although this "Jingbao" is just a tabloid, its influence in Shanghai is extraordinary.

Shanghai's "Crystal Newspaper" can publish any big newspapers that dare not, are inconvenient, or disdain to publish, and thus have the title of "King of Tabloids", also known as "Head of Tabloids".

People in Shanghai may not read big newspapers, but they must read "Jing Bao".

The most amazing thing is that, except for novels, most of the other manuscripts of "Jingbao" do not pay remuneration.But the literati in Shanghai are proud that their articles have been published in "Jingbao".

But it was such an influential newspaper, because an article alluded to Du Yuesheng, the newspaper office was smashed by a group of hooligans.

Yu Daxiong is stubborn, the more you hit my newspaper office, the more I want to expose your ugly side, so he simply concentrated his firepower on Du Yuesheng.

His newspaper office had been set on fire, his car had been smashed, and even he himself had been attacked by unknown gangsters, and if not for the passing police, he would have been crippled, if not dead.

So much so that he had to hire two foreign boxers as his bodyguards.

This year Du Yuesheng hosted the New Year's Reception, and Yu Daxiong was the first to publish an article in "Jing Bao", saying that so many civilized people in Shanghai went to a banquet held by a big gangster, and he was not ashamed, but proud and so on.

Because this newspaper had too much influence in Shanghai Bund, many people felt a little apprehensive and found excuses not to come.

This also made Du Yuesheng very annoyed, wishing he could immediately put Yu Daxiong in a sack and throw him into the Huangpu River.

But on the one hand, he is protected by foreigners, and on the other hand, he has a high social status and a wide range of contacts, so he is nicknamed "foot editor". Some friends even joked that "searching for friends' works is more ruthless than officialdom."

Therefore, once he was about to die, he had to cause an uproar in Shanghai Bund.

Usually, it takes seven or eight tables to set up, but this year, there are only five tables in total.

"Mr. Du, some people have called and said they couldn't come due to important matters, and some people simply refused to answer our calls." Gu Jiatang, Du Yuesheng's eldest disciple and the leader of the "Four King Kong", said in a low voice: "Do you want to send someone Go to the door and invite them?"

"No need." Du Yuesheng said lightly: "The ones who come are all friends. Those who don't come, let them go. We all understand the principle of being wise and safe. The banquet will start on time at 12 o'clock."

"Okay, Mr. Du."

Accompanied by his disciples, Du Yuesheng clasped his fists table by table, thanking them for coming to the banquet, no one dared to stand up and return the greeting at the wine tables he passed by.

"Mr. Du." His second disciple Gao Xinbao hurried in and whispered in his ear: "Meng Shao from Lixing Club is here."

Du Yuesheng was startled: "That Meng Shaoyuan from Nanjing?"

Just before, Yuan Yichang from Shanghai Station of Lixing Society came to visit him specially, and in words, he vaguely talked about the grievances between Du Yuesheng and Kong Xiangxi, and hinted that Kong Xiangxi called Meng Shaoyuan to trouble Du Yuesheng.

To be honest, Du Yuesheng really didn't care about the grievances with Kong Xiangxi. Kong Xiangxi was an official in Nanjing, and he had to manage a lot of important national affairs. What was the trivial matter at the beginning?
Moreover, during festivals, Du Yuesheng would always send someone to give gifts to Kong Xiangxi, and even his family members in Shanghai responded with all the courtesy.

Kong Xiangxi and his family took all these gifts, which made Du Yuesheng feel more at ease.

It's just that now why do you think of coming to trouble yourself again?

Du Yuesheng specifically asked Yuan Yichang about the origin of this man named Meng Shaoyuan, and when he figured it out, he snorted coldly: "So it's Dai Yunong's confidant."

He almost said the words "that little bastard Dai Li".

Back then when Dai Li went down the river to take a bath, a group of naughty students took away the only clothes he had left on the bank. If Hu Zongnan, the teacher, hadn’t scolded his students in time and helped him out, Dai Li might have had to Bare ass.

And at that time, he, Du Yuesheng, had already dominated Shanghai Bund.

At the earliest time, the relationship between Du Yuesheng and Dai Li was indeed very good, and the two even made obeisances. But when the chairman decided to suppress the influence of the Shanghai Youth Gang, Dai Li also obviously alienated Du Yuesheng a lot, which made Du Yuesheng the most dissatisfied The place.

But now that Dai Li is in charge of so many spies, Du Yuesheng is also a little bit afraid, so it's not easy to show the disdain in his heart directly on his face.

Hearing that Meng Shaoyuan actually came to the door, Du Yuesheng pondered for a while: "Please!"

"Where is the arrangement?"

"Vice President, how many people did he come?"

"Two, a man and a woman."

"Then let Lao Qian and Boss Ma give up their positions."

The main table was full of famous people from Shanghai, and Meng Shaoyuan was already doing him a favor by being able to sit in the vice seat.

After a while, I saw Meng Shaoyuan in a suit, leaning on a civilized stick, and wearing a top hat, and a young and beautiful woman in a fashionable coat came in with his arm.

This is naturally Zhu Yanni.

"Boss Meng." Du Yuesheng greeted him.

This time, the guests were very curious, who are these two young people, why did Mr. Du personally welcome them?
"Du Yuesheng, I heard that you are holding a banquet, so I'll come to have a drink." Meng Shaoyuan said with a smile.

The guests were shocked.

All of Du Yuesheng's disciples were angry.

What is the history of this young man?
When others address Du Yuesheng, they are usually "Mr. Du", and even worse, "Boss Du", but he actually calls him by his first name?

But Du Yuesheng didn't care about it: "Usually, you can't invite Boss Meng. Today, Boss Meng came in person. That would be the best. Please, vice-chairman, the seat has been arranged for you."

"Vice seat?" Meng Shaoyuan smiled: "Du Yuesheng, what do you think I am? A little bastard who came to Shanghai Beach from other places?"

Du Yuesheng was also not angry: "Boss Meng, I really didn't know you were coming, I should have known earlier, and I will arrange for you at the main table. Look, the main table is full..."

"It's full, someone can give it up." Meng Shaoyuan brought Zhu Yanni to the main table, and looked at a person in a Chinese tunic suit: "What do you do?"

"Deputy Director of Municipal Construction Bureau of SH Municipal Government!"

"Then, you sit down."

Those who are officials are not guilty.

Meng Shaoyuan's eyes fell on a person, and he suddenly smiled and cupped his hands:

"Boss Ji!"

Ji Yunqing!
In fact, as soon as he came in, Ji Yunqing recognized him:
That Shanghai dance king Charles Meng!

And the [-]th Taibao under his command, the black tiger Tao Jianbao, died in Nanjing, and was also killed by Lixingshe Meng Shaoyuan.

Seeing Charles Meng at this time, Ji Yunqing immediately connected him with Meng Shaoyuan.

But Ji Yunqing is also an old fox, calmly: "So it's Boss Meng, it's been a long time, it's been a long time."

"You guys have known each other for a long time." Du Yuesheng asked.

Meng Shaoyuan ignored him at all: "No one dares to grab Boss Ji's position, so sit down."

Now is not the time to turn against Ji Yunqing.

This time I mainly came to deal with Du Yuesheng, adding another enemy would not be good.

He glanced at a middle-aged man: "What about you? Who are you?"

The man clasped his fists together: "A line is drawn across the sky, and a stick of incense is inserted into the ground. My brother's surname is Hong, and Pudong Luotuoyang!"

"What a mess." Meng Shaoyuan was most afraid of hearing this kind of quack talk: "A rascal, sit here? Get up, sit on the side."

Luo Tuo Yang was furious, and was about to get angry when he suddenly saw Du Yuesheng winking at him, stood up swallowing his anger, gave Meng Shaoyuan a vicious look, and reluctantly went to the vice seat.

Another person stood up at the main table and said with a smile, "I'm Lu Bohong, the president of the Shanghai Charity Federation of Industry and Commerce. I don't seem qualified to sit here. I'll go to the vice chair, I'll go to the vice chair."

Oh, it was the one who founded the first tram and did a lot of good things for the Chinese business community. In order to defend Nanjing and respond to the call, he sunk a merchant ship in a designated area. Unfortunately, after the Japanese invaded Shanghai, it was not safe at night. Lu Bohong, who became the executive committee member of the "SH Citizens' Association" sponsored by the Japanese invaders, and was the first on the list of military agents' anti-rape plans, was assassinated to death?

When two seats were vacant, Meng Shaoyuan was not polite, took Zhu Yanni to sit down carelessly, took off his top hat, and called Du Yuesheng's big disciple Gu Jiatang to his side, without saying a word, stretched out his hand, and handed the top hat to Gu Jiatang .

This clearly shows that Gu Jiatang is being used as a waiter.

If it weren't for Du Yuesheng's winks, Gu Jiatang might have an attack immediately.

Seeing that all the guests had arrived, Du Yuesheng cleared his throat: "Everyone, everyone, Du has prepared a small banquet today, thank you for your appreciation..."

"Darling, this is the famous three-yellow chicken in Shanghai, eat it quickly." Meng Shaoyuan picked up a piece of three-yellow chicken and put it on the plate in front of Zhu Yanni.

"Oh, people don't like to eat it." Zhu Yanni said sweetly.

“It’s especially delicious when dipped in soy sauce.”

The two of them acted as if no one was around, and their voices were loud. Du Yuesheng seemed to be well-mannered. After they finished speaking, he continued: "Under the wise leadership of the Chinese government, Shanghai is thriving..."

"Du Yuesheng, you're using the wrong words." Meng Shaoyuan suddenly interrupted him loudly: "First, you can't represent the national government, you are at best a leader of the youth gang. Second, what do you mean by 'my Shanghai is thriving and prosperous'? This word is very inappropriate. Ah, I don't blame you, you can't understand a few words!"

Even a blind person would know that this "Boss Meng" came here today to make trouble on purpose.

Big things are going to happen, Mr. Du's banquet, who has the guts to come and make trouble?Mr. Du endured it again and again, but this person is too much, right?Something is going to happen.

Sure enough, Gu Jiatang and Gao Xinbao couldn't bear it anymore:
"Surnamed Meng, if you dare to come here to make trouble, you will be blinded!"
