"It seems that my cards are bigger."
Li Shiqun said easily: "Why is this man named Gu Laosheng worthy of being rescued by District Chief Meng himself?"
"My chances don't seem to be good? But I have to go with you." Meng Shaoyuan hesitated: "This is Gu Laosheng. Let me tell you the truth. Do you know that my wife's name is Cai Xuefei?"
"Yes I know."
"Gu Laosheng is my wife's relative. He also helped my wife's family a lot in the past."
What nonsense.
Wu Jingyi and Li Shiqun thought at the same time.
What relative?
It was just made up!
Li Shiqun seemed to believe it: "I see, no wonder District Chief Meng is so helpful. Well, Mrs. Meng's relatives are also relatives of District Chief Meng, but if you lose this card, you will lose to me." what?"
Meng Shaoyuan smiled: "Eighty thousand oceans and six hundred taels of gold!"
Li Shiqun's expression suddenly changed.
"It's too late, Mr. Li." Meng Shaoyuan said calmly: "When we were playing cards here, I already won. I even won the car and the goods. An old man named Gu, the chips were 80,000 oceans and 600 taels. Gold! The prerequisite is that you can beat me!"
"I accept!"
Li Shiqun almost gritted his teeth. He turned over his cards and said, "Full House, what are you going to do to beat me?"
In his hand, there are two kings, plus a king and two jacks in the river bed, K full house!
Li Shiqun sneered: "Remember, I said, K stands for king!"
"Three kings again."
Meng Shaoyuan sighed: "I simply doubt whether you are cheating!"
"District Chief Meng, you can always afford to lose." Li Shiqun stared at him: "Where is my money?"
"Your money must be where it should be." Meng Shaoyuan smiled: "There are four kings in a deck of cards, and only one is the real king, the king of spades!"
He showed his trump card:
King of Spades, Ace of Spades!
In addition to a J of Clubs and a J of Spades, there are also 10 of Spades and Q of Spades in the riverbed!
Flush!
Only one is the real king!
"There is only one true king in Shanghai." Meng Shaoyuan picked up a few chips and threw them to the dealer, then stood up: "That's me, Meng Shaoyuan!"
Li Shiqun's face was ashen!
He almost won the whole game, but lost the last one.
In this last battle, he lost everything!
Tian Qi sighed:
"I'm okay, it's just a small loss."
For him, this was like another stab in Li Shiqun's heart!
…
"how did you do it?"
Wu Jingyi didn't quite understand.
Meng Shaoyuan looked a little lonely: "At this point, I have to confess something to you. In fact, I am the God of Gamblers!"
"roll!"
"You have to buy the dealer a lot of money in advance, and you can get whatever cards you want."
Meng Shaoyuan said with a sly smile.
Any trick is, to put it bluntly, worthless.
"Hi."
"Hi, Mr. General Manager."
Mr. Douglas, the general director of the Board of Directors of the Public Settlement Industry Bureau, stood next to Meng Shaoyuan with a glass of wine: "Thank you, my friend."
Thank you my friend.
Douglas, who was having a heated argument just now, actually called Meng Shaoyuan like this when there were no outsiders: "Moyes said you will always find a way, and now I believe it."
"The Japanese are constantly putting pressure on the board of directors, asking you to help them deal with the military. As a gentleman of the British Empire, of course you are not willing to give in, but you have to consider the current situation in Shanghai."
Meng Shaoyuan smiled and said: "It's okay now. You and I openly turned against each other. You have done your best. Mr. Douglas, your term will be up in one year, right?"
"Yes."
"Then, during this year, you can openly order an attack on our military commanders, such as ordering Director Sinclair to arrest a few military commanders every day. Don't worry, we will cooperate."
"Then, grab it through the front door and let it out through the back door."
"No, no, that will arouse the suspicion of the Japanese sooner or later." Meng Shaoyuan smiled brightly: "I have recruited a group of Youth Gang disciples to temporarily join the military command, just to catch you. Lock them up for three months, maybe half a year? You can even order the courts to open, try them in public, and sentence them."
"Are they willing?"
"Of course I am willing. If I can spend half a year in exchange for a generous settlement allowance, there will always be someone willing. What's more, they will be taken care of in prison. They will have food, drink, and they can be with themselves. Of course, the wife and children have to be reunited in prison. When they come out, their lives are already secure."
"You are very thoughtful. Now I begin to understand why you have so many friends."
"I always have a lot of friends."
"Meng, I have one last question. What you just said about the public concession, are you sincere?"
"Yes, I mean it." Meng Shaoyuan's face became serious: "The concession is rented to you. Since it is rented, we are the owners here. For example, you, Mr. President, when your term is up, You will return to the UK, and your life in the concession will be just a beautiful memory for you. But for us, this is our home!"
Wu Jingyi suddenly began to feel that she respected Meng Shaoyuan a little.
This young master, as long as his head doesn't have frequent convulsions, every word he speaks can reach your heart.
"I like you, my friend." Douglas patted Meng Shaoyuan: "I wish you good luck. Maybe I won't be able to see the day when you win in Shanghai, but when that day does come, I will be in London for you. Celebrating.”
Dance music came.
Meng Shaoyuan stretched out his hand: "Miss Wu, do you want to dance?"
Wu Jingyi took off her small dress: "Mr. President, is it convenient?"
"My pleasure, Miss Wu."
Douglas smiled and took the dress.
This is the first time Wu Jingyi dances with Meng Shaoyuan.
The dance music is the waltz.
The charm of money is infinite.
As soon as Meng Shaoyuan entered the dance floor, he blew a loud whistle.
The dance music immediately turned into a fast-paced Viennese waltz!
Shanghai Dance King is back!
Viennese waltz is elegant, cheerful, warm and smooth, and its speed is twice as fast as waltz.
This kind of fast-paced dance is what Meng Shaoyuan likes.
At first, Wu Jingyi still couldn't let go.
But under the leadership of Meng Shaoyuan, she began to gradually adapt to this rhythm.
Shanghai Dance King!
Soon, everyone's attention was attracted to this man and woman.
They gathered around, applauded rhythmically, and whistled from time to time.
After several consecutive right turns, Wu Jingyi was completely immersed in the rhythm.
She hasn't danced for a long time.
The last time her dance partner was named An Guang.
…
"Dancing?"
Tian Qi asked.
"I, I won't."
Lin Xuan was a little shy.
Tian Qi said coldly:
"I teach you!"
