Shame on you!

Horse riding is a noble sport.

No matter from which aspect, the so-called horse riding means riding Mongolian horses, Arabian horses, pinto horses, etc.

No matter how bad it is, riding a pony is acceptable.

To ride a horse is to ride a horse.

Not riding a donkey.

I ride a donkey while others ride a horse.

Master Meng never takes the ordinary path.

Shame on you!

Master Meng let out a cry of sadness in his heart.

Didn’t I just offend you, Miss Kong, during the art exhibition? What about you?

You are riding a horse, why are you riding a donkey for me?

You are the big one, what about me?

Am I fucking Zhang Guolao?

What's even more annoying is that the eldest lady has to ride her horse alongside Master Meng.

That scene!

A man riding a tall horse was accompanied by a man riding a donkey.

Master Meng wanted to cry.

Therefore, never offend the powerful.

These powerful people may do some ridiculous things.

"Chief Meng."

"Miss."

Meng Shaoyuan found that he had to turn sideways and raise his head to talk to the eldest lady.

"I found this donkey with great difficulty. Are you still used to riding it?"

Get used to your sister.

Seeing Meng Shaoyuan's sad face, Kong Lingyi suppressed the urge to laugh: "When did you learn to ride a horse?"

"I have learned it a long time ago." Meng Shaoyuan boasted: "When I was at the Hangzhou Police Academy, my horse riding skills were among the best among the students in the same period."

Blowhard!

Kong Lingyi asked slowly: "Your...butt still hurts?"

Meng Shaoyuan immediately blushed.

Do you already know about co-authorship?

If you had told me earlier, you would have asked your Master Meng to make such a fool of himself here.

"Meng Shaoyuan, it's quite funny how you brag so seriously."

Are you praising me or scolding me?

Seeing the embarrassment on Meng Shaoyuan's face, Kong Lingyi finally couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Okay, it's enough to embarrass you. I told my father what you want me to do, and he agreed. There will be news in a few days.”

Meng Shaoyuan was overjoyed, and any embarrassment and embarrassment were instantly forgotten.

It's really easy to do things with someone in the court.

The problem that Dai Li had been unable to solve for so long was solved by just spending a few days with the eldest lady.

The establishment of a special fund will solve many problems for military commanders.

You won’t have to worry about this in the next few years.

"I heard that the Ministry of Finance has a vacancy in Shanghai."

Kong Lingyi suddenly said: "You once expressed your views on the national economy to your uncle, which was very insightful, so are you interested in developing in the financial field?"

Meng Shaoyuan was startled.

Ah, what I said to Song Ziwen that day about the country's economic construction are already known to others?

"My uncle told my mother that day." Kong Lingyi seemed to be comforting Meng Shaoyuan: "He was full of praise for you and said that it is really rare for a person who is engaged in secret service to have unique insights into the economy."

Meng Shaoyuan was silent for a moment: "Miss, I have been a spy for a long time, so I still think this place is more suitable for me."

Kong Lingyi nodded: "In that case, I won't force you. Your Shanghai District is planning to set up a new deputy director. If you want, I can tell Dai Li."

This is an opportunity to reach the sky in one step.

But Meng Shaoyuan knew that there was no free cake in this world.

I have climbed up step by step from a small spy to a deputy section chief. This is not only due to Dai Li's appreciation of me, but also due to my own hard work.

Therefore, although he is the youngest section-level cadre of the Second Division, there are actually almost no people who oppose him.

Although I will go to Shanghai sooner or later, it is definitely not now.

Now that I have gone, no one will convince me.

Shanghai is so big. Those district and webmasters, who in their hearts would take themselves seriously?

How could I be as comfortable as in Nanjing, where I could do whatever I wanted and no one would care about what I wanted to do.

If I go to Shanghai immediately, I will be constrained in everything I do, and there will be restrictions everywhere.

As Chen Rongyang said, in Shanghai, they can be broadly divided into the "Concession School" and the "Hongkou School".

Other forces may be even more complicated.

If you don't do well, don't do anything else, just think about how to get along with these forces.

The best time to enter is to establish a foothold in the base camp now, and then wait for the Battle of Songhu to break out. When the guns are unanimous, enter Shanghai in one fell swoop, and open up your own sphere of influence in Shanghai with the force of autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves.

Therefore, Meng Shaoyuan said: "Miss, thank you for your kindness. But Shaoyuan is going to be the deputy district chief now. I'm afraid there are many people who are dissatisfied, so let's do it step by step."

A trace of disappointment flashed through Kong Lingyi's eyes.

Meng Shaoyuan was alert and said immediately: "However, in a few months, Shaoyuan will definitely come to Shanghai and will stay there for a long time."

"real?"

"real!"

Kong Lingyi smiled: "Then I will wait for you, Chief Meng, in Shanghai."

Don't wait any longer.

If it really comes, it will be a war.

That's not a good thing.

Kong Lingyi smiled and said: "Meng Shaoyuan, let's have a horse riding competition and run around in a circle. If anyone loses, who will treat you today? The winner can choose the location!"

"Ah! Miss, I am a donkey!"

"So what? I think you are just a donkey, start! Drive!"

"Hey, you are acting like a rogue... let's go, damn, you lazy ass, let's go!"

Nanjing, Xiaguan, French Lipps Western Restaurant.

This is the most foreign-style place in Nanjing. The main road, the Central Bank, and commercial banks and foreign banks are all gathered together. The ladies, gentlemen and powerful people are proud of their consumption.

At the end of the Qing Dynasty, Western powers focused on Nanjing, and Jinling Pass was forced to open to the outside world. Along the 2.5 kilometers of the Yangtze River bank, about 0.5 kilometers wide, foreign merchants opened foreign businesses, set up dock warehouses, hotels, teahouses, theaters, silk and satin shops, shoe and hat shops, Business houses such as clocks and watches, banks, and banks are concentrated here, as well as several Western buildings.

Including the former site of Jiangnan Postal Administration and Bank of China Nanjing Branch.

Main Street suddenly became the liveliest and most fashionable commercial port street in Xiaguan, and was also the most prosperous center of Nanjing.

Among them, Bank of China Nanjing Branch is undoubtedly the most eye-catching.

The three-story reinforced concrete structure and six thick pillars reflect the European architectural style. It is simple, pure, noble and domineering, with a hint of central bank atmosphere.

Next to it is Lipps Western Restaurant, which is said to be the most expensive in Xiaguan.

Those who come here to spend money are either rich or expensive. An ordinary small businessman will only feel distressed for a year if he comes here once.

When Miss Kong came, she was greeted personally by the French owner of the Western restaurant, Peng Pedet.

Meng Shaoyuan had been coming to Xiaguan all the time, but this was the first time he entered Lipps Western Restaurant.

That decor, that taste.

Even in Meng Shaoyuan's era, it was not outdated at all.

In order to welcome the arrival of Miss Kong, Lipps Western Restaurant is cleared today and only accepts guests at Miss Kong's table.

This is cool.

Meng Shaoyuan clicked his tongue in surprise.

"Meng Shaoyuan." Kong Lingyi said as soon as he sat down, "I asked them to clear the place."

"It's a big deal, young lady."

"No, it should be said that it was your fault, Chief Meng."

"Why?"

"You pay for the booking fee."

"ah!"

Meng Shaoyuan almost sat down on the ground.

Package... field!

How much the fuck does this cost?

Is your eldest lady the caretaker of this restaurant?

How can her eldest lady take care of this?

Pair red meat with red wine.

But in his eyes, Master Meng, everything flying in front of him was money.

"Fill it up, fill it up."

Meng Shaoyuan simply took the red wine bottle and poured himself a large glass full of red wine.

The contempt in the waiter's eyes could not be hidden from Master Meng.

What if I fill it up?

I am a consumer and I have reserved the venue, so I have the final say here.

Looking at Kong Lingyi again, she seemed to be used to Meng Shaoyuan's rude and rude behavior.

In fact, it wouldn't be Meng Shaoyuan's character if he didn't do this.

After finishing the main meal, the after-dinner wine was brandy. Kong Lingyi asked the waiter to add a little coffee to it, and then asked the waiter to leave and not to come unless asked.

Seeing Meng Shaoyuan raise his head and take another big sip, he said with a smile: "You can try to warm the cup with your palms, so that the wine in the cup will exude a more fragrant flavor."

"Yeah?"

Meng Shaoyuan gave it a try without hesitation.

fraud.

Why can't I taste any mellow taste?

"Have you always eaten Western food like this?"

Kong Lingyi was a little curious: "Eating as much as you did just now?"

"No, I know it was very rude of me to eat like that." Meng Shaoyuan filled his glass with wine again: "I know all the rules for eating Western food, such as red meat and white meat, wine before the meal and wine during the meal, and the guests drink at one time Three cups. The problem is that I can’t use it now. You’re not a spy, and I don’t have to hide anything in front of your eldest lady.”

Kong Lingyi's eyes flashed with relief: "As an agent, do you have to change your identity at any time?"

Meng Shaoyuan nodded: "You can't tell others that I'm an agent and I'm here to catch you. Sometimes, I play myself and forget who I am. Forget it, it's better for you, the eldest lady, not to know about these things. .”

As expected, Kong Lingyi didn't ask any more questions, but just raised the cup slightly: "Meng Shaoyuan, thank you for protecting me these days, and for letting me see some things that I couldn't see before. Don't forget your promise to me, Will come to Shanghai."

"It will definitely come." Meng Shaoyuan murmured: "And it will be very soon. But at that time, there are still many things to ask for help from the eldest lady."

"Can you find a way through me?"

"Yes." Meng Shaoyuan did not deny it at all: "You also know the rules here. If you follow the normal path for some things, I'm afraid you won't be able to do it in a few months. But if you can get through to the relationship, just a phone call will do. solved."

"Then I'll do my best."

"Thank you, Miss." Meng Shaoyuan raised his cup: "I wish you a safe journey."

"Thank you. I hope to see you in Shanghai soon, Meng Shaoyuan."

Well, there are two women available in Meng Shaoyuan, Shanghai.

One is Mrs. Rose Cai Xuefei.

There is another one who is this eldest lady.

For that day to come, Meng Shaoyuan has made sufficient preparations.

Including Yuan Zhonghe, who had been sent to Shanghai long ago.

And that day is coming soon.
