Ji Yunqing attaches great importance to the upcoming establishment of the so-called "Shanghai Sino-Japanese Friendship Association".
Originally, he was still eyeing the position of president, thinking that from before the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War to the Battle of Shanghai, he had always been respectful to the Japanese and never dared to neglect.
What the Japanese want them to do is always done conscientiously.
After the Japanese occupied Shanghai, as soon as he heard the news, he immediately tentatively asked the Japanese if it was possible for him to sit on the position of president.
It's a pity that the attitude of the Japanese is rather perfunctory.
This made Ji Yunqing very disappointed.
The three tycoons of Shanghai have long since become obsolete, Du Yuesheng has already run away, and he is the real leader of Shanghai.
It's a pity that the Japanese would rather go to the Huang Mansion again and again to invite Huang Jinrong to come out, but their attitude towards them is always so lukewarm.
His military advisor Kang Chenshu comforted him, saying that there was nothing good about being the president of the guild, and one misfortune would cost him his life.
Are the Japanese arrogant enough? Shanghai has been occupied by them, but what will be the outcome? Even the police chief they recommended, Chiyuki Akagi, was fucked.
As this president, what if someone from the military command targets you?
After saying this, Ji Yunqing felt a little more comfortable.
But the problem is that although the Japanese did not let him be the president, they still wanted him to be responsible for protecting the safety of the association on the day it was established.
"Qi Yuan."
Kang Chenshu's nickname was "Qiyuan", and Ji Yunqing called out: "Tell me, what is this? For the sake of the Japanese, I sent out all the bosses of the Thirteen Taibao, Jin Axe. But why did the Japanese do it? Don’t you trust me?”
"Yun Weng." Kang Chenshu had been educated for several years. He always believed that he was born at the wrong time. If he had been in the Qing Dynasty, he would still be able to become a bachelor with his own knowledge. It's a pity that now I can only serve as a staff member under Ji Yunqing:
"The thoughts of the Japanese are extremely difficult to understand. The world is now dominated by the Japanese. We rely on others and have to bow our heads. But I think that since ancient times, the emperor has trusted loyal ministers. Although the treacherous ministers gain power for a while, in the end, You can’t go wrong when you know your horse power from a distance, and you can’t go wrong when you know your loyal ministers. As long as Yun Weng does his best to serve the Japanese, I think one day he will impress them. If the big Shanghai doesn’t reuse Yun Weng, who else can it use? ?”
After Kang Chenshu said this, Ji Yunqing felt a little better.
"Qi Yuan, there is one more thing." Ji Yunqing changed the subject: "At the beginning, I relied on the Thirteen Taibao to run rampant on the beach. Although I was not as arrogant and domineering as Du Yuesheng and others, I could still be considered unscrupulous. But now, the Thirteen Taibao old man As we age, get sick, and die, it becomes increasingly difficult to deal with it. So I thought, I have to reorganize the Thirteen Taibao."
Kang Chenshu felt clear in his heart.
What Ji Yunqing said is true. Back then, the Thirteen Taibao were considered the number one person in Shanghai, but now they have gradually failed to keep up.
The most important thing is that many of the Thirteen Taibao died, and the remaining ones are not as energetic as they used to be.
Even their boss, Jin Axe, who is fifty-five years old, has a big belly, and is guarding his wife, children, and grandchildren. How can he still be the same desperado who swept through Chengdu Road with an axe?
We really need to add new blood.
Another point is that as the Thirteen Taibao stayed with Ji Yunqing longer and longer, the rewards they received became higher and higher.
This is something that the stingy Ji Yunqing will never tolerate.
Replace the old people and get a group of trustworthy people, which will not only bring vitality but also reduce expenses. Why not?
Ji Yunqing's stinginess is famous throughout Shanghai. Even a confidant like Kang Chenshu only earns about twenty oceans a month.
Kang Chenshu felt clear in his heart, but he would never say it out loud.
"What Mr. Yun thinks is always right." Kang Chenshu complimented.
"I'm already looking there, and you, help me pay attention." Ji Yunqing ordered: "Especially since the national army has been newly defeated, there are many national troops hidden in the concession. These people can be used. They were previously They are soldiers, they have fought against the Japanese, they are all desperadoes, and now they are desperate, but they can only eat one bite."
"Okay, okay."
Kang Chenshu looked at the time and said, "Weng Yun, if nothing happens, I will leave first."
"Going to Pink Pearl again?" Ji Yunqing shook his head: "Qiyuan, why do you say you are so devoted to a cousin? Whenever you have some money, you will always throw it at her. Also, I heard that you wanted to This cousin has borrowed a lot of money from outside? People don't ask you for it because of my face, but this won't work in the long run."
"I know, I know."
Kang Chenshu said with a smile...
…
This boss Ji knew that he had a woman outside and was spending a lot of money, but he refused to give him more money. When he asked him how many times he wanted to borrow money, he always refused.
What did you say you were doing there with so much money?
But as soon as he came to Pink Pearl, Kang Chenshu's mood suddenly improved.
Pink Pearl is a prostitute without a license. She entered the industry at the age of fourteen. She is twenty-nine this year. At this age, in this industry, she is the kind of person who is not loved by grandma and uncle.
The fierce competition in this industry is unimaginable to outsiders.
Once you pass twenty-five, you lose your appeal to donors, and there are basically no people willing to throw a lot of money at you.
Some writers say that women are more mature and attractive when they are older.
fart!
What profession do you score.
Women in brothels must be as young as possible. Old ones? I don’t know how many people were crushed by me.
Also, those who talk about selling their art but not their body are all beautiful stories imagined by those acid writers out of thin air.
People like Marshal Hua from Tianjin, whose mother has finally trained them up, can they not point you to make money? It was true that I did not sell my body but my art before, but when I get older, I have to wait for a big benefactor like Meng Shaoyuan to come.
They have no excuse for this.
There are fewer and fewer pink pearl customers. They are used to this business and the expenses are high, especially since their lives are very irregular. They have crow's feet in their twenties, so they have to rely on powder, rouge, etc. to dress up.
Just when Pink Pearl felt sorry for herself and didn't know what to do in the future, she unexpectedly met Kang Chenshu.
I don't know what kind of cramp Kang Chenshu has. There are so many women out there that he doesn't want, but he just falls in love with Pink Pearl, who is getting older and losing her beauty.
If you have a little money in your hand, just throw it here. When Pink Pearl asks for something, Kang Chenshu doesn't have any money, so he has to help her borrow it.
Some people also tried to persuade Kangchenshu, saying that this was a bottomless pit that could never be filled, but Kangchenshu was so obsessed that he just refused to listen.
I hurried to Pink Pearl's house and smelled a scent as soon as I walked in: "'Lao Jinchuan's Sichuan cuisine, oh my, this is good, this is good."
Kangchenshu has delicious Sichuan food, especially the Sichuan food at the "Lao Jinchuan" restaurant, which is extremely authentic.
Smelling this fragrance makes my mouth water.
As soon as he entered the living room, he was startled.
A table of wine and food is set, and the rice wine is hot.
Pink Pearl is there too.
But she was happily talking to a young man.
"Ouch, Lao Kang is here, come on, come on." Pink Pearl said happily, "We have distinguished guests here today, and he ordered all these food and drinks."
Kang Chenshu looked at him doubtfully: "Who are you?"
The young man did not answer, but said: "Kang Chenshu, whose courtesy name is Qiyuan, came to Shanghai to make a living when he was young. He boasted that he was rich in knowledge and talented. Unfortunately, he could not lift it with his shoulders or carry it with his hands. He could not achieve anything. He could only live under Ji Yunqing. Food is twenty-one yuan a month, Kangchen tree, am I right?"
Kang Chenshu's face turned green and white.
He boasted to Pink Pearl that he earned fifty or sixty yuan a month. He couldn't help but said with a sullen face, "Who are you? I just said hello, but you can't handle the arrival of the Thirteen Taibao?"
"Thirteen eunuchs?" The young man smiled: "I remember killing one or two eunuchs."
Kang Chenshu's expression changed drastically: "Who are you?"
"Meng Shaoyuan."
Meng Shaoyuan?
Kang Chenshu was frightened and took a step back.
He had heard Meng Shaoyuan's name from Ji Yunqing's mouth. It was said that he was the number one killer of the military commander.
This also praises Meng Shaoyuan.
It is true to say that he has repeatedly made meritorious deeds, but the words "number one killer" have nothing to do with him.
"Don't be afraid, Kang Chenshu." Meng Shaoyuan said calmly: "I am not here today to cause trouble for you. If I want to kill you, I don't have to do it myself. You are not of a good enough quality."
After hearing these words, should Kang Chenshu be happy or embarrassed?
"Ouch, Lao Kang." Pink Pearl stood up, grabbed Kang Chenshu and sat down: "Boss Meng came to you with good intentions, so he is very generous. Look at the dishes of the serious Lao Jinchuan. And this wine, authentic Shaoxing rice wine. There are also so many ingredients, let’s take a look, let’s take a look.”
Kang Chenshu saw a lot of fabrics and satins on the table on one side.
He sat down fearfully: "Why did Boss Meng want to come here to find me?"
"I want to find someone, isn't it easy?" Meng Shaoyuan smiled: "Don't say you are here, even if you run back to your hometown, I can still dig you out. As for you, you are Ji Yunqing's dog-headed strategist. Don't give him bad ideas. According to the hoeing order, it is reasonable to kill you."
Kang Chenshu was so frightened that his calves trembled: "Boss Meng, Boss Meng, I have no choice but to stay with Ji Yunqing. I just make a living. The things Ji Yunqing did really have nothing to do with me."
Pink Pearl received more guests and saw that the atmosphere was not right. She hurriedly picked up the wine pot and filled three wine cups: "Boss Meng, our old Kang is timid and useless. You have a lot, don't talk to him." He's generally knowledgeable. Come on, let's have a drink."
Meng Shaoyuan picked up the wine cup and took a sip: "I am pressed for time and have no time to waste it with you. Let me ask you, do you want to live?"
"Think, think, why don't you want to?" Kang Chenshu said hurriedly: "Who thinks he will live a long time? Boss Meng, just tell me if you have any orders."
