Lost and Spy

Chapter 853 Fourth Young Master Sheng
The car stopped in front of an old house.

The house is already very dilapidated, but from the outside, you can still see the previous style.

"Live here?" Meng Shaoyuan asked as soon as he got out of the car.

"Yes."

"Very old."

"But the person who lives here, can you imagine how glorious he was in the past?"

Wu Jingyi came to the gate and found that the gate was not closed.

She pushed open the door and walked in with Meng Shaoyuan.

"Is Fourth Young Master at home?" Wu Jingyi yelled as soon as she entered.

"Who?"

A man in his fifties who was mentally depressed came out.

The gown he was wearing was very old, but anyone with a good eye could tell at a glance that it was made of expensive "Xiangyun Sha" fabric.

Those who can afford to wear "Xiangyunsha" are either rich or expensive.

Although this person's recent condition is not very good, there is an arrogance clearly written on his face. Some people are like this.

No matter how downcast he is, that momentum will definitely not be lost.

"Fourth son, our Boss Meng Shaoyuan has come to see you." Wu Jingyi was polite, and brought a box of wooden gift snacks with the words "Lao Ban Zhai" written on it:

"It's a little thing, please accept it with a smile."

"Oh, you are Meng Shaoyuan, you seem to be quite famous in Shanghai." The Fourth Young Master glanced at Meng Shaoyuan, as if he didn't pay much attention to the King of Shanghai.

At that time, Meng Shaoyuan and Wu Jingyi were asked to sit down on the stone bench in the yard, and Wu Jingyi put the snacks on the stone table.

"Tea!" The fourth young master called out.

After a while, a middle-aged woman in ordinary clothes took out a teapot and teacup.

"Fourth madam."

Wu Jingyi got up immediately.

Good fellow, how downcast is this Fourth Young Master, that his wife actually has to do the serving of tea and water himself.

"Ah, take it easy, everyone."

The fourth lady put down the tea bowl and left in a hurry.

"Boss Meng, let me introduce you." Wu Jingyi immediately said, "This is the famous Fourth Young Master Sheng Enyi Sheng!"

Sheng Enyi!
During the period of the Republic of China, there was a saying of "the four sons of the Republic of China".Among them, such as Zhang Boju, is a noble son who treasures countless rare antiques.But when it comes to "extravagant nobleness", or extravagance, no one of the four sons of the Republic of China can match Sheng Enyi.

Sheng Enyi's father was the famous "richest man in the late Qing Dynasty" Sheng Xuanhuai!

As a wealthy tycoon in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, Sheng Enyi can be said to have grown up with admiration.His father, Sheng Xuanhuai, although not as well-known as Li Hongzhang and Zhang Zhidong, was also a representative figure of the Westernization Movement and a big celebrity around the Empress Dowager Cixi.

While being proud in the officialdom, Sheng Xuanhuai was struggling with the important matter of inheriting the family.

There were three main wives in his life, the first wife gave birth to three sons and three daughters for him, but the sons died young; the second wife gave birth to only one daughter and hanged herself; the third wife gave birth to a daughter and two sons , one of the sons also died young.

And the only surviving eldest son of the Sheng family, "Sheng Lao Si", is Sheng Enyi.

How much does the Sheng family love this son?Sheng Xuanhuai, who only had such a son in his late [-]s, said that as long as he thinks, he can do anything.

Together with Suzhou Humble Administrator's Garden, BJ's Summer Palace and Hebei Chengde Mountain Resort, Suzhou Lingering Garden, known as the "Four Famous Gardens in China", is the private residence left by Sheng Xuanhuai to Sheng Enyi.

The name "Sheng Enyi" was also chosen by the Empress Dowager Cixi herself.

There are mountains of gold and silver sitting under his buttocks, and there is a red flag at home. Sheng Enyi should be able to carry forward the Sheng family.But in fact, he was drowning in the wine pool of pleasure in the future, living a life of extravagance.He was the first person to own an imported Mercedes-Benz luxury car in Shanghai, where wealthy businessmen gather.

In order to highlight his uniqueness, he also ordered a sterling silver car steering wheel with his name engraved on it.His license plate is also "4444" which can tell his identity as "Sheng Laosi" at a glance.

Not only does he enjoy this unique luxury car, but all his concubines also have the standard equipment of a luxury house and a luxury car.

However, compared to what he did in the casino, these luxury cars and mansions are not considered a big deal.

According to the memories of his friends at the gambling table, Sheng Enyi used to sleep during the day, and only got up at four or five in the afternoon to start a day's life.And his life is mainly gambling.

So after waking up, Sheng Enyi often had to count how much money he would use next.

If the money at home is not enough, it must be taken.But at this time, the bank was basically closed, so he saved the country with a curve, and directly took the antiques at home to the pawnshop and exchanged them for money first.When the bank opened normally the next day, he ordered someone to withdraw money to take the antiques from the pawnshop back home.

So his gamblers joked that he was using the pawnshop as his own bank.

Sheng Enyi's biggest hand in the casino was to bet on an entire alley with more than 100 houses in the Huanghe Road area of ​​Shanghai, and played a game with Lu Xiaojia, another wealthy young man in Shanghai at that time.

As a result, all the houses in the alley belonged to Lu Xiaojia.

According to Sheng Enyi's way of life, after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Sheng Enyi, who was originally wealthy and almost became synonymous with "big money", basically lost all his family savings.

At this time, he was no longer the former glory.It is said that Sheng Enyi is so poor that he doesn't even have the money to buy tickets to go to the park.

It is heartbreaking for a generation of wealthy people to be reduced to this point.

But after all, he was the son of the richest man in China, and Sheng Enyi's style is still there: "Why is Boss Meng coming to Bifu today?"

People say "shabby house", but he doesn't.

Meng Shaoyuan smiled lightly: "I heard the name of the Fourth Young Master earlier, and I came to visit today, and I specially prepared some snacks. I hope the Fourth Young Master will not dislike you."

Sheng Enyi didn't even take a second look: "Lao Banzhai's dim sum is okay, but that's all."

Meng Shaoyuan laughed and said, "Why don't you open it and take a look, Fourth Young Master?"

Sheng Enyi was startled.

How can there be a reason for a guest to ask the host to open a gift in person?
Although he was puzzled, he still opened the snack box.

When I saw it, I was stunned.

Where is the snack in the box, but there are ten small yellow croakers.

"Twelve taels of gold, please accept it with a smile."

In the past, Sheng Enyi didn't care about twelve taels of gold at all, but his current situation, to Sheng Enyi, was simply a life-saving money.

What's more, this Meng Shaoyuan is generous in his actions, and every meeting is worth ten taels of gold. This style is a bit like that of his fourth son when he was the most prosperous.

Sheng Enyi likes to deal with people who are generous: "Boss Meng is polite, he is polite to others, and he must ask for something. Tell me, what's the matter with Boss Meng?"

Meng Shaoyuan didn't hide it: "It's nothing special. I have a friend who is coming to Shanghai. This friend has no other hobbies, but likes to gamble a few times and find a few girls."

Sheng Enyi frowned: "What do you mean?"

"The fourth son is an expert in this field, so I want to ask the fourth son to accompany this friend of mine." Meng Shaoyuan said slowly: "I will bear all the expenses."

Sheng Enyi's eyes lit up.

Ever since he fell into despair, how long has he not enjoyed such a life of spending money like water?

Anyone else pay for the fun for themselves?
"Boss Meng is not joking with me, is he?" Sheng Enyi was still worried.

"No joke."

Meng Shaoyuan said unhurriedly: "I will send someone to wait on you, if you need money, just talk to him!"

"In that case, why should I not help?"

Sheng Enyi couldn't help but be overjoyed.

Originally, they wanted to stay with Meng Shaoyuan and Wu Jingyi for dinner, but they refused repeatedly.

Meng Shaoyuan told him to just wait for the news at home, and then got up to leave.

This time I found the right person.

When it comes to eating, drinking and having fun, who else can compare to this Fourth Young Master?

"It seems that you're going to lose a lot of money this time." Upon returning to the car, Wu Jingyi smiled and said, "His fourth son spends money like water."

"Don't be afraid, there is always a certain amount of money to spend. If you can use the money to settle the morality reviewer, it is worth it, but the gambling money is not worth it." Meng Shaoyuan thought for a while: "You go to Sun Qingsheng and ask him to notify a few casinos. When Sheng Enyi arrives, don't let him lose, just let him win a little, and I will reimburse all the money lost by the casino."

"understood."

"Xiao Zhong."

"Yes." Xiao Zhong, who was in the co-pilot's seat, hurriedly turned around.

"You just follow Sheng Enyi." Meng Shaoyuan ordered: "Turn around, go to Assistant Wu to get some more money. Your only task is to accompany Sheng Enyi to eat, drink and have fun. When it's time to pay, you don't need to ask, you just rush to pay."

"Ah, what kind of mission is this?"

Xiao Zhong muttered in dissatisfaction.

From Tianjin to Chongqing, and then from Chongqing to Shanghai, he was thinking of doing meritorious deeds with Director Meng and avenging the stationmaster Ma.

Eat, drink and have fun?What kind of mission is this?
"Xiao Zhong, you will remember it firmly." Meng Shaoyuan knew Xiao Zhong's thoughts: "Our task is not just to fight with the Japanese. Sometimes, such a task is just as important."

Wu Jingyi interjected: "Xiao Zhong, you have been here for too short a time, and you don't know Shanghai well. It is related to whether Director Meng can successfully become District Chief Meng, and the key lies in this fourth son."

"Hey, don't worry, I will do well."

In fact, Xiao Zhong still doesn't understand, eating, drinking, and playing with women can make Director Meng become the district head?But who told Director Meng to order this?
Before coming here, Madam repeatedly told me to listen to Big Brother Meng when I arrived in Shanghai.

Meng Shaoyuan pondered: "It's a trivial matter to accompany that commissioner to eat and have fun. I'm worried that the commissioner will cause me some trouble if he comes to Shanghai's fancy world and loses his mind."

"I'll send someone to keep an eye on him in the dark." Wu Jingyi said quickly, "We'll keep an eye on him, and we can respond as soon as there is any situation."

"Okay, I'll leave this to you!"
