Meng Shaoyuan dressed up carefully in front of the mirror.
Quite a handsome young man.
He pinned the Browning to the back of his waist, and now Meng Shaoyuan always carries a gun wherever he goes.
Ever since I became a spy, I have been suspicious all day long and looked at everyone like a bad guy.
Well, it seems that in the eyes of the people, he is the bad guy, right?
Now, when Master Meng walks up to others and loudly tells them that he is the legendary Agent Meng, no one believes him?
Even if someone is smiling in front of you, when you turn around, that person will definitely spit on the ground and curse:
Dog agent!
I went out and came to a barber shop only a few steps away from my house.
This is opened by people from Xinghua in northern Jiangsu, and the owner is known as "Xiao Xinghua".
Generally, those who have their heads shaved carry a burden and walk through the streets. If you can open a store, you are doing pretty well.
Not to mention anything else, people from my hometown come to work as apprentices, and they all go to stores of their own. An apprenticeship lasts for three years without a dime of salary, and the apprentice has to carry rice from home.
In addition, the hygiene apprentice in the store does the laundry, the apprentice washes the master's and wife's clothes, and the apprentice takes all the errands.
When the division was finally full, new apprentices came again.
So there is a barber in the store, which is very comfortable.
Meng Shaoyuan is also a regular visitor here.
As soon as he opened the door and walked in, Xiao Xinghua, who was teaching his apprentice, stood up quickly and handed over a cigarette first:
"Boss Meng, you are here."
After speaking, he diligently lit a cigarette for Meng Shaoyuan.
Meng Shaoyuan glanced at the tearful apprentice who was being reprimanded: "What did you do wrong again?"
"The spicy piece belongs to his mother." Xiao Xinghua cursed in a hometown dialect: "I have been here for two months and asked him to shave a customer's beard. He also scratched the person's face, causing me to lose money. I brought him I have so many apprentices, but this one is the stupidest."
This barber shop is also very particular.
Usually when old customers like Meng Shaoyuan come and are well-dressed, the boss personally receives them.
But if they look unfamiliar and look like they are doing manual labor, then it is just an opportunity for the apprentice to practice.
"Did you lose money?"
"No, that customer was unreasonable and insisted on paying me one yuan. In the end, I ran out of good things and paid him fifty cents."
"Come on, don't feel bad about the five cents. You won't be in the mood to make trouble for me when the time comes. I'll help you pay for it."
As soon as Meng Shaoyuan finished speaking, Xiao Xinghua immediately smiled and said: "How can I say that Boss Meng is the big boss? Boss Meng, sit down and I will serve you well."
Although Xiao Xinghua scolded his apprentice harshly, his craftsmanship was really good.
First, he used a hot towel to scald Meng Shaoyuan's face, and then a razor flew up and down in his hand. When trimming his face, from the chin to the sides of the nose, to the cheeks, both eyelids, and forehead, it was As comfortable as you want.
Meng Shaoyuan fell asleep.
Xiao Xinghua worked very hard and deliberately let Meng Shaoyuan sleep a little longer. The razor began to shave Meng Shaoyuan's ears. From the outside of the ear to the inside of the auricle, everything is done with an extremely sharp razor.
The apprentice also forgot to cry. Looking at the master's skillful gestures, he didn't know how envious he was.
When can I be like the master and not worry about running out of food?
"Boss Meng, wake up and do your hair."
Amid the cry, Meng Shaoyuan reluctantly opened his eyes.
So comfortable, so comfortable.
Xiao Su Bei used hair wax to carefully style Meng Shaoyuan's hair so that it was shiny and shiny. He took the mirror:
"Boss Meng, take a look, is it suitable?"
"Suitable, suitable."
Meng Shaoyuan stood up and took out a piece of ocean from his pocket: "Here you go."
"Thank you, Boss Meng, for the reward."
Little Su Bei smiled brightly and enthusiastically sent Meng Shaoyuan to the door and opened the door: "Boss Meng, please go away."
"Master." The apprentice asked cautiously, "What kind of business does this Boss Meng do?"
"Business?" Xiao Su Bei sneered: "What bullshit Boss Meng, he's just a dog spy!"
Outside, the car has been waiting there for a long time.
As soon as he saw Meng Shaoyuan coming, Green Eyed Abiao quickly opened the car door: "Boss Meng, everything you want is in the car."
Meng Shaoyuan nodded and got in the car...
Ma Xiangxing.
It's not easy to book a private room, and I don't know how much Qingyan Abiao thought of.
Seven or eight gift boxes were piled there.
After waiting for about ten minutes, the private room door opened and the waiter's voice came:
"Please come inside."
"Oh, General Manager Meng, Ma Xiangxing is the one who specially invited me to dinner. How embarrassing is that?"
When Fang Manya walked in, she looked carefully dressed.
Wearing a gorgeous cheongsam, a pair of high heels, her hair pulled up, she walks with a twist, looking as coquettish as she wants.
Blue-eyed Abiao quickly helped her pull out the chair.
"It would be my honor to invite Ms. Manya to dinner."
Meng Shaoyuan held a cigarette in his hand and looked elegant.
In this era, smoking in public is not only not uncivilized behavior, but also a sign of fashion and grace.
The advertisements of the American Tobacco Company are all made by doctors, and the slogan is:
Smoking is better than eating!
And surprisingly, tobacco is commonly used to treat sore throats, coughs and asthma.
As soon as Fang Manya sat down, Qingyan Abiao immediately took out a cigarette.
She was not polite, took out a cigarette, and Green Eyed Abiao lit it for her: "Boss Meng, I opened another table outside."
After that, he left wisely.
In Fang Manya's eyes, Meng Shaoyuan was young, handsome, and graceful, and he was as good as he could be.
Much better than the big fat guy at home.
It's a pity that the person he met at the beginning was not General Manager Meng?
"Ms. Manya." Meng Shaoyuan pointed to the gifts on the table: "This is our first banquet. I can't come empty-handed. I don't know what you like, so I bought you some of everything."
"Oh, there are still gifts?"
Fang Manya's eyes shone, she put down her cigarette, stood up, and came to the gift box: "Then I'm not polite?"
Opening the gift box, the former movie star kept exclaiming: "Oh, this is a real imported product, an American dress... Oh, these are the shoes from British Constant... This, this is SWANK's wallet... "
Fang Manya was surprised and happy at the same time.
All are serious foreign products, all brand names.
She has also seen people who spend a lot of money, but the gifts are just one or two pieces, but there is no one like General Manager Meng, who gives you all the clothes.
"General Manager Meng, this is so embarrassing." Fang Manya was ecstatic, but suddenly she remembered that she had to show some restraint: "This is too expensive, I really can't accept it."
Although he said that, if Meng Shaoyuan really took it back, Ms. Manya would probably faint on the spot.
Fortunately, Meng Shaoyuan said with a smile: "It has been said since ancient times that swords are given to strong men, and red pink is given to beauties. Ms. Manya is so beautiful that she can charm a city with her smile, and she can charm a country with her smile again. If you don't accept this gift, who else is worthy of it?"
When had Fang Manya heard such sweet words about Tao Zhenshan? He was so excited that if he hadn't known Meng Shaoyuan for a short time, he would have wanted to hug him and kiss him right now.
"That's really embarrassing." Fang Manya reluctantly put down these gifts: "Look, I came empty-handed, and I don't know what General Manager Meng likes..."
"Call me Shao Yuan, General Manager Meng sounds too strange." Meng Shaoyuan smiled: "When I was abroad, I often heard that a gentleman should always try his best to meet the requirements of a lady. In the future, Ms. Manya If you need anything, just tell me.”
"It's different for those who have lived abroad." Fang Manya was elated: "Then don't call me Ms. Manya anymore. Just remove the word "Ms." because those who call me are getting old."
After saying that, she did not return to her previous position, but naturally sat down on the chair next to Meng Shaoyuan.
Meng Shaoyuan brought red wine. Although drinking red wine in Ma Xiangxing was a bit uncoordinated, in Fang Manya's eyes, no matter what Shaoyuan did, it was all elegant and tasteful.
The two raised their glasses together and took a sip.
Meng Shaoyuan put down his cup: "Manya, I heard that you used to make movies?"
"Yeah, the first movie I made at that time caused a sensation."
Fang Manya's words are an exaggeration. Her first film was indeed somewhat influential, but it was definitely not a "sensational" one.
Speaking of his acting career, his face darkened: "It's a pity that I married too early..."
He glanced at Meng Shaoyuan: "If I could meet Shaoyuan earlier..."
"You can still shoot now." Meng Shaoyuan smiled slightly: "In the United States and Hollywood, many female stars still shoot movies after getting married or even having children, and they are glamorous... For example, that... Angelia Zhu Leigh, Julia Roberts…”
The one who keeps talking about running the train is probably Master Meng.
He didn't know much about movies, and he didn't know who the Hollywood movie stars were in the 1930s. So I simply named the female stars I knew in my time.
Fang Manya, don’t say anything about Annelia, Julie and Julia Roberts. Besides Chaplin, how many American stars has she heard of?
At this time, she couldn't speak, so she could only listen to Master Meng talking:
"If Manya is willing, I may be able to arrange for you to go to the United States in the future. In Hollywood, I know several great directors very well. They are all famous international directors. Especially that Quentin, you You must know, right?"
Poor Fang Manya, when have you ever heard of this person? I couldn't help but shook my head in embarrassment.
Fang Manya really felt inferior.
In the past, she was always the protagonist and the center of attention in front of everyone. Although she was married, everyone regarded her as a big star.
But in front of Meng Shaoyuan? She is simply an ignorant child. She has no idea about those unheard-of foreign stars, directors, and movies.
I only hate myself for marrying too early.
How about continuing to be in the film industry?
Maybe I can still talk to Meng Shaoyuan.
To say that he has lived in the United States, it is different. He speaks and has elegant taste, which is completely different from the big fat man in his own family.
Thinking of this, Fang Manya couldn't help but sigh:
"I would rather go to the United States with you, but it's a pity that Tao Zhenshan...hey, I met Shao Yuan too late, otherwise, hey..."
