The Jade of the Republic of China

Shen Yutong originally waited for his elder brother to inquire about the situation at the time of the incident. At worst, he was discussing the shooting and killing of Meng Liansheng, but he didn't know that the other party killed him by surprise like killing his carbine.He sort of understood why Meng Liansheng ran away overnight, but he was afraid that the eldest son of the Shen family would get suspicious and ask him something.

Fortunately, Shen Yutong was not so easy to mess up. He was slightly startled, and then smiled back: "Last night, there were gunfires all the time, and Xiaomeng and I couldn't sleep, so he just chatted in my room. I fell asleep later, he guessed I just lay down on the table for a while, otherwise I wouldn't have found any gangsters in the room."

Shen Yuan couldn't say that he didn't understand this younger brother who was almost two rounds younger than him, at least he knew that he was an open-minded gentleman who rarely lied.But I also know that if he has the heart to lie, it may be difficult for others to see at a glance.

Therefore, he was not sure whether Shen Yutong was lying at this time.

He looked at the other party, and finally decided to give up on further questioning, just to be more careful.The conversation changed: "Have you seen Xiaolong?"

Shen Yutong nodded: "He came here to tell me that the Long family has returned to Shanghai."

Shen Yuan nodded: "Xiaolong is really sincere to you as a friend. But apart from this, I can't see what else he has. His guard, oh, is now the father of the chief of the Songhu Police Department. I I don’t know much about it, it’s all hearsay, and Feng’s evaluation is not good. Now it’s hard to tell whether Zhejiang’s takeover of Shanghai is a good thing or a bad thing.”

Shen Yutong said: "I also have this worry. Now the national industry and commerce in Shanghai is at the right time to develop. It can't stand the toss."

Shen Yuan sighed approvingly: "Now we can only wait and see." After saying that, he waved his hand, "Take one step at a time, and our own factory will resume work first."

In order to resume work, the two brothers of the Shen family were busy for three or four days.After finishing his work, Shen Yutong finally went back to the concession for vacation. After spending a day with his old father, he naturally went to find Meng Liansheng.

Called his office, but there was no one else there. Hearing that he had gone to Nanshi's wharf to distribute rice, he simply went directly to Nanshi to find someone.

Although this battle can only be called thunderous and rainy, as long as the guns are fired and the fire is exchanged, some people will inevitably suffer disaster and be displaced.

On the pier, the two queues for receiving rice were very long, and most of them were in ragged clothes, which shows that there are really many poor people in this world.

Shen Yutong saw Meng Liansheng in the crowd at a glance. He was wearing a gray robe and glasses, showing his old-fashioned gentleness, courtesy and frugality to the fullest.

Shen Yutong bent her lips and smiled, and folded the newspaper in her hand.The front page news in this newspaper is really Lixin Xiaomeng.

Since Meng Liansheng took over Lixin, Lixin has almost changed drastically.When Bai Qinghe and Sun Zhidong were in the past, although several bosses seemed to be decent people with human appearance, the whole company did not get rid of the gang style. Not to mention the dock workers, but Sun Zhidong's subordinates were all black and short Gown, it looks like a gang member.Until the past six months, except for Meng Liansheng himself, who is either in a suit and leather shoes or a long robe and mandarin jacket, he has become a modern gentleman in Shanghai.The people around him also changed their appearance, they all wore suits and vests, and looked no different from employees of foreign companies.

It doesn't matter if you change your attire, even the way you behave is very different. Whether in the concession or the Chinese world, there are almost no news of Lixin fighting and making trouble.

In addition, Lixin also funded schools and nurseries.In addition, this time he was dispatching rice in Nanshi for three days, and the newspapers even called him "Meng Dawen Ren".There are quite a few tycoons in Shanghai, and there are only a handful of them who can be called famous, because in addition to having financial power and power, they also have to be highly respected.

Meng Liansheng, a young man in his early twenties, was called a celebrity by the newspapers, which shows that his reputation is really good now.

Shen Yutong looked at him in the crowd from a distance, feeling very honored, and thought that he really had a unique vision. As for the incident of witnessing the other party's swift murder a few days ago, he completely forgot about it.

He made his way through the crowd and walked forward.Such a decent and handsome noble son, he is absolutely outstanding among the disheveled common people, Du Zan can see it from a distance.

Du Zan didn't know the real relationship between him and Meng Liansheng, but he knew that the two were friends, so when he saw someone, he quickly reminded Meng Liansheng: "Xiao Meng, isn't that the second son!"

Naturally, Meng Liansheng had already seen the person, and his pair of black eyes had already crossed the crowd and landed on Shen Yutong's beautiful face.

Because seeing his lover, the corner of his mouth raised an arc unconsciously.

"Second Young Master, why are you here?" He quickly walked up to the person and asked.

Shen Yutong waved the newspaper in front of him, jokingly said: "Meng Dawen seems to be very busy, do you have time to show off and have a meal together?"

Meng Liansheng touched his ears shyly, and said, "It's all written in the newspapers, Second Young Master, don't make fun of me."

Shen Yutong said: "I'm not making fun of you, I'm proud of you." Then he moved closer and said in a voice that only two people could hear, "Second Young Master is proud of my little Meng."

After all, Meng Liansheng realized that Meng Liansheng was really teasing, and he was about to blush with just such a sentence.But when you were in bed, why didn't you see him shy?

Shen Yutong cleared her throat and said with a smile, "It's almost evening, can you spare time to have dinner together?"

"Of course." Meng Liansheng also smiled, "Second Young Master, wait a moment, I'll go and explain to Du Zan."

It was rare for Shen Yutong to stay in the concession for a week, half of which was given to Meng Liansheng.Almost everyone knows that the two are friends, which allows them to listen to operas, drink tea and eat together, and go in and out together.As for what to do after entering Meng Liansheng's small building and closing the door, that is a secret belonging to the two of them, and no one else will know.

Just when he was about to leave for Fengxian, the Shen family received an invitation from Long Zhenfei, the new chief of the Songhu Police Department.

It has been a custom since ancient times for new officials to take office and entertain local tycoons and celebrities.And Long Jialin, who was still in Songjiang, made a special call and asked Shen Yutong to go with his eldest brother.

Shen Yutong could only stay in the concession for two more days.

Long Zhenfei is Commander Li's confidant, the director of the Songhu Police Department, and the second in command in the Chinese community in Shanghai. Those who can get the invitation to the Long family dinner are naturally the most influential figures in the Shanghai Bund family and all walks of life. Not many people were invited, only a few dozen people in total.

Because it was a family banquet, most of the guests were husband and wife with one or two children, and there were also a few sporadic families with brothers, such as the two sons of the Shen family.

He was probably the only one who came here alone like Meng Liansheng.

This is not surprising. With his current status in Shanghai, he would naturally be invited by the Long family. However, because he is young and has not started a family, he is a standard polished commander and will always be alone in social situations.

But Lixin Xiaomeng is in the limelight now, there are many people who want to make friends with him at the banquet, so there is no need to worry about being left out.

Shen Yutong originally wanted to change seats to sit with him, but seeing this situation, she gave up.

Tonight's hosts are Long Zhenfei and his son.The Long family is a family of military generals. Long Zhenfei entered the imperial court as an official in the late Qing Dynasty. However, due to the turmoil in the current situation, his official career has experienced ups and downs.

Shen Yutong met him a few times when he was young. At that time, he had just recovered and became a brigade commander. He was out all the year round and could not return once a year, because Long Jialin was often taken care of by the Shen family. Every time he returned to Shanghai, he would personally visit him thank.Long Zhenfei at that time, although he could be seen as a member of the army, his speech and demeanor were quite gentle.But now, Long Zhenfei, who has gained power, is obviously very different from the Uncle Long in his memory.

He was wearing a silver-gray robe covered with a sapphire blue mandarin jacket, with a mustache, a full face, and sharp eyes like a falcon, with an aura of power without anger.Previously, he had been huddled in the backcountry for many years, but now he has finally returned to Shanghai, sitting on such a promising position, and his whole body is clearly full of satisfaction.

A roomful of bigwigs in Shanghai were obviously very afraid of the newly appointed director.When Long Zhenfei and Long Jialin came to toast politely and met each other, they all looked submissive and cautious.

When they arrived at Shen Yutong's table, the others stood up to greet each other, but he only greeted perfunctorily, then followed Long Jialin who had already moved to Shen Yutong's side first, and said with a smile: "Eldest and second sons! Long time no see. Mr. Shen is here well enough?"

Shen Yuan replied politely: "Thanks to the director, although my father has been ill all year round, he is fine at the moment."

"That's good, that's good. I'll come to visit the old man when I'm free later."

Shen Yuan said: "I have the note from the Director of Labor, and I thank you on behalf of my father."

Long Zhenfei was not a few years older than him, but now he looked like an elder. He patted his shoulder affectionately, and then patted Shen Yutong, before leaving with a smile.

Long Jialin originally wanted to talk on the phone, but seeing his father had gone away, he could only lean into Shen Yutong's ear and whispered: "Xiaofeng, I will come to you later."

Shen Yutong sat back in his chair, took a sip of the tea in front of him, and saw that Long Zhenfei had already walked to Meng Liansheng's table.Compared to the slavish and obsequious looks of the others at the table, Meng Liansheng just greeted the Director in a humble and polite manner as always.

Shen Yutong couldn't help but bend the corners of his mouth.

The banquet started at seven o'clock, and it was only eight o'clock after the banquet. It was still early, and tonight's banquet would naturally not end like this.The elders went to the living room upstairs to drink and chat with Long Zhenfei.Ladies drink tea and play cards in another room.The young princes went to the garden together to chat.

And the protagonist in the garden is naturally Long Jialin.

Shanghai Bund is just that big, and most of the famous men and brothers know each other.In the early years when Long Zhenfei was not in power, the Long family was a down-and-out official who lived in a foreign land ten miles away. Although Long Jialin was also a young man, he was really inconspicuous in the circle of young men.In addition, when he was a child, he was a thin monkey with a cowardly personality. If it weren't for Shen Yutong, no one would have looked at him more.

He lived alone and aggrieved when he was young, and suffered countless cold looks and bullying. Shen Yutong was his only support.The feng shui took turns, today, today, the young master who used to look down on him, everyone flattered him and flattered him.

He finally became the focus of the crowd.

Long Jialin enjoyed being surrounded by stars, and felt that he was completely elated.

At such a time, of course he would not forget Shen Yutong, pulled him to his side, embraced his shoulders affectionately, took out a gun and twirled it in his hand, raised his head and looked flamboyantly: "Everyone knows , Second Young Master and I are best friends. In the future, whoever of you dares to disrespect him, I will make you go all the way."
