Lost and Spy

Chapter 554 The Traitors Are Here
Meng Shaoyuan chose the Jinjiang tea room as the venue for the negotiation between the two parties.

Before, Meng Shaoyuan helped Luo Zhujun, the owner of the Jinjiang teahouse, and Luo Zhujun was always very grateful to him. This strange woman in the Republic of China was always thinking about how to repay Meng Shaoyuan.

But Meng Shaoyuan was not prepared to be repaid.

Your Jin Jiang Sichuan Cuisine Restaurant and Jin Jiang Tea House will be the famous Jin Jiang Hotel in Shanghai in the future, but I have no way to become a shareholder, can I?
But this time is the best chance.

As soon as he heard that Meng Shaoyuan wanted to use his teahouse for business, Luo Zhujun immediately reserved the best private seat without hesitation.

Moreover, he also specially ordered to reserve a table in his Sichuan restaurant, saying that when Meng Shaoyuan finished his work, he would treat him well no matter what.

Meng Shaoyuan felt a little embarrassed.

Zou Yaowei arrived first, followed by Liu Mancai.

This Liu Mancai was not at all like the burly man Meng Shaoyuan had imagined from Shandong, on the contrary he looked thin and small, smiling and nodding when he saw everyone.

Meng Shaoyuan didn't care about them, arranged them in a private room, and sat outside by himself.

Hurry up and finish talking and get out of here.

"Mr. Meng, try our new tea." Luo Zhujun brought the tea himself: "I don't know what flavor Mr. Meng likes, so I made up my own mind. There is no Mingqian tea yet, so I prepared to pick it up." The tea is ready to drink."

"Madam is too polite." Meng Shaoyuan said hastily: "I'm a rough man, and I usually just get some tea leaves to deal with and drink it. How can I know what Mingqian tea picks?"

"Mr. Meng does big things, so naturally he doesn't care about small things like tea." Luo Zhujun smiled and sat down opposite him: "Mr. Meng helped me so much a few days ago, and I haven't been able to thank you properly. Today Since Mr. Meng has come in person, no matter what, let me do my best as a landlord."

Meng Shaoyuan took a sip of the tea, and the taste seemed to be quite different: "Good tea... Actually, I really don't know much about tea, so I thought that if there is a famous tea, it must be good tea."

Luo Zhujun smiled: "Mr. Meng is so funny, this tea picking is a kind of spring tea...Forget it, Mr. Meng is not interested in tea...Mr. Meng, actually I still have some things I want to ask for your help today."

"Ma'am, you're welcome. As long as I can do it, I won't dare to refuse."

Luo Zhujun pondered for a while: "It's like this, my Jinjiang Sichuan Restaurant has encountered some financial difficulties, so I don't know if I can borrow a sum of money from Mr. Meng... Ah, don't worry, Mr. Zhu is willing to take the shares of Jinjiang Sichuan Restaurant As collateral..."

Ok?
Meng Shaoyuan was startled, and immediately understood Luo Zhujun's meaning: "Madam, Shaoyuan would like to thank you for your kindness. If Madam is really in financial difficulties, I will give you whatever you want. But now, despite the war, Madam's Jinjiang The business of the Sichuan restaurant has not been affected at all and is still booming, so Madam is not asking for a loan, but giving me shares."

Luo Zhujun is acquainted with Mrs. Qiangwei Cai Xuefei, and has also asked Cai Xuefei about Meng Shaoyuan's preferences.

Cai Xuefei told her that Meng Shaoyuan was a domineering and powerful man in Shanghai. Although he was a bit of a rascal, he did nothing wrong.

What he wants, he will try his best to get it, but if you want to give something to repay his kindness, he will not take it.

So Luo Zhujun thought for a long time, and finally came up with a way to transfer part of the shares of his Sichuan restaurant to Meng Shaoyuan by borrowing money from him.

He didn't expect to say it, and Meng Shaoyuan guessed it immediately.

"Mr. Meng, Mrs. Qiangwei said that I can't hide my small thoughts from you. I didn't believe it at the beginning, but now it seems that it is true." Luo Zhujun smiled lightly: "I just know the favor but can't repay it. It's really not my character. I'm 38 this year, and I always repay my kindness, and Mr. Meng's doing this really embarrasses me."

"Madam has been filtered." Meng Shaoyuan sighed: "Shanghai fell, Japan wanted to pull Madam as a traitor, Madam flatly refused, this kind of arrogance is far more than that of a man. If everyone in Shanghai is like Madam, I don't have to fight for the rape. It’s so troublesome. The madam stands upright and remembers that she is a Chinese, which is already the best reward.”

There was no hypocrisy in what he said.

After hearing these words, Luo Zhujun respected Meng Shaoyuan even more.Since the other party doesn't need to repay by himself, if he wants to use his own tea room or restaurant in the future, he can only do his best.

After chatting there for more than an hour, the door of the private room opened, and Luo Zhujun stood up knowingly, and found an excuse to avoid it.

"Director Meng, I want to borrow your radio station." The negotiation should have come to an end, and Zou Yaowei was anxious to ask Yan Xishan to report on the negotiation situation: "Mr. Liu still needs to trouble you to send it back."

Meng Shaoyuan immediately sent his men to escort Zou Yaowei back to his office to send a telegram.

"Director Meng, I have admired your name for a long time, I have admired your name for a long time." Liu Mancai cupped his hands and said, "I am really embarrassed to trouble Director Meng everywhere when I come to Shanghai."

Meng Shaoyuan was too lazy to deal with such a person, so he replied a few words perfunctorily.

Along the way, Liu Mancai had all the good words and compliments. How could this man's character be put aside, but this level of flattery seems to be higher than that of Young Master Meng.

He sent him to the hotel and was about to leave, but Liu Mancai repeatedly invited Meng Shaoyuan to sit in his room, saying that he had something to say to Director Meng.

Meng Shaoyuan was also a little curious, thinking that it was still early before Luo Zhujun invited him to dinner, so he reluctantly came down.

"Director Meng, please sit down and drink tea."

As soon as he arrived at the room, Liu Mancai poured tea graciously, then rummaged through his luggage for a while, and took out a box: "When I first came to Shanghai, I was protected by Director Meng, and I can't repay you. Please ask Director Meng for this little gadget." play."

After carefully placing the box on the coffee table, Liu Man opened it.

Good guy!
Inside the box was a jade bowl with a lid made of pure gold.

Liu Mancai took it out carefully.

Only then did I see that there was a tray made of pure gold at the bottom.

The golden lid has a straight mouth and a rolled edge, seamlessly buckled with the jade bowl.

Just by looking at it, you can tell that this thing is absolutely extraordinary.

"After our family Chief Liu got this jade bowl, he asked someone to look at it. It was a thing from the Ming Dynasty." Liu Mancai put the jade bowl back into the box: "This time I came to Shanghai, and Liu Chief asked me to bring it with me. Come on, say that when you see Chief Meng, you must personally present Quandang as a meeting gift."

"Look, look, how embarrassing this is."

Young master Meng has always been open-eyed when he sees money, and he had no good impression of Liu Mancai at first, but when he saw this jade bowl, he immediately smiled.

In the Ming Dynasty, it was both gold and jade.

It's worth it, it's worth it.

Be your traitor.

Anyway, that Chief Liu of your family, Liu Heiqi, will not end well. If this jade bowl is in the hands of Young Master Meng, it is considered a gift to the right person.

Meng Shaoyuan felt strange: "You Liu Guitang also know my name?"

"Since you've come to Shanghai, you must do your homework." Liu Mancai didn't hide anything: "To be honest, I didn't know Chief Meng's reputation at first, but our Chief Liu happened to know Tao Liqing, the liaison officer of Feixian County of the Military Command. Liaison Officer Tao was transferred from Shanghai to Fei County at the beginning of the year, and he told us, Chief Liu, that as long as you know Chief Meng in Shanghai, you can do anything.”

Meng Shaoyuan said "Oh".

This Tao Liqing couldn't stay, because he was so familiar with a bandit, and even revealed the situation of the Shanghai Navy Command, he must immediately report to Dai Li, and kill this person, so as to avoid future troubles.

Tao Liqing was also unlucky.

How did he know that because of his quick talk for a while, he actually caused a murderous disaster?
"This..." Now that he accepted the gift, Meng Shaoyuan had to say a few nice words: "Liu Guitang wants to fight against the Japanese anyway, that's good. Since I chose to discuss things in Shanghai, I will always protect you safety, nothing to worry about.”

"Exactly, exactly, with the protection of Chief Meng in Shanghai, why should I worry about anything?" Liu Mancai flattered: "Besides, I don't hide it from Chief Meng. This time, Chief Liu chose to negotiate in Shanghai. From a security point of view, secondly, there is another purpose."

"Let's hear it." Meng Shaoyuan asked casually.

"That's right." Liu Mancai said with a smile on his face, "Our Chief Liu thinks that the war between China and Japan will end sooner or later, and he won't stay in the army forever. It’s a small business, and I can barely make ends meet.”

Fuck it, it's all like that.

Many people who are officials want to develop into the business world after earning enough money. No matter what happens in the future, there is a way to retreat. Even if they don't become officials, they can at least become rich.

And the best place to invest is either Hong Kong or Shanghai.

A bandit who can't live for two years is actually thinking about this wishful thinking.

Seeing that Meng Shaoyuan remained silent, Liu Mancai continued: "This big Shanghai is originally a place for painting, where dragons and snakes are mixed. We are foreigners. If we don't recognize people with real power, we will definitely not be able to develop. Chief Meng is in Shanghai. The face is big, we must ask Chief Meng to protect us."

They will choose people.With Meng Shaoyuan's support, wouldn't it mean that the wind will win the wind, and the rain will win the rain?
But the question is, how could Meng Shaoyuan cooperate with these traitors?
Liu Mancai lowered his voice when he said this: "Mr. Meng, please rest assured that Mr. Meng must not be busy for nothing. All business is considered Mr. Meng's share."

Meng Shaoyuan sneered inwardly, but he said flatly, "Doing business in Shanghai is not that simple. First, you need someone to cover you, and second, you can't make a big deal out of small troubles."

"Mr. Meng doesn't need to worry about this. We, Mr. Liu, have plenty of money."

What a big tone, there is plenty of money?Meng Shaoyuan snorted coldly: "How much money does Liu Guitang have?"

"Dayang, 200 million!"

"How many?"

"200 million oceans! All of them are in Tianjin Jincheng Bank's Shanghai Concession Head Office!"

Broken.

Two million oceans, this amount fell into the ears of Young Master Meng, it was like telling a wolf who had been starving for half a month, I have a big, fat hen here!
There was a strange light in Meng Shaoyuan's eyes!
