The few new dishes are actually nothing new for Meng Shaoyuan!
The problem is, it depends on who you are eating with.
If you let him eat with Li Zhifeng, it would definitely be boring.
But having dinner with a beautiful woman?
That's completely different.
Karen seemed not only grateful to this Charles Meng, but also admired him.
She always thanked the other party for the help she received and the Chinese for the help they gave to the Jews.
Of course Meng Shaoyuan was happy to see this scene.
Bragging has always been his strong point.
Therefore, all kinds of strange and bizarre stories kept coming out of his mouth.
In addition, Meng Shaoyuan has done some research on history and knows a lot about the history of the Jews.
Therefore, he and Karen have too much in common.
Karen listened very carefully.
"You are a very knowledgeable man."
Karen's eyes were filled with admiration. She took out her cigarette case and took out a cigarette.
Meng Shaoyuan immediately picked up the lighter, lit the fire and went over.
"Thanks."
Karen blew out a smoke ring gracefully.
In this era, it is fashionable, elegant and even charming for women to smoke.
You don't have to ask anyone for advice on whether it's okay to smoke in a restaurant.
No one would object.
"You helped little Lott that time. I really don't know how to thank you."
Karen flicked the cigarette ashes: "Is there anything I can do for you, Charles?"
"I am happy to help you, Mrs. Goldberg." Meng Shaoyuan said with a smile: "No matter when and where, I am willing to wait for your call."
"Call me Karen." Karen said with a bit of sadness on his face: "Ever since my husband... I have been confused. I didn't know what to do... until I met you... Charles."
"People always have to come out of sadness."
Meng Shaoyuan picked up the cigarette case and put it down immediately: "Can you give me a cigarette?"
"Of course, if this can be considered repayment."
"If you think it counts, then forget it."
"You're such a good man, Charles."
"I am not a good person." Meng Shaoyuan said frankly: "Ever since I first saw you, I have been shocked by your beauty. I am your admirer, Karen!"
Karen blushed.
She had many suitors, but she never fell in love with anyone.
But the man in front of me was different. He was young, kind, and dedicated to helping children.
However, what he said was too direct.
Women always need to be a little reserved.
"Can you please not leave today?"
Meng Shaoyuan suddenly made this very "unreasonable" request: "I left a bottle of very good red wine here."
Karen blushed again.
It's too straightforward, really too straightforward.
"I can't be sorry for my husband, Charles," was Karen's reply.
Meng Shaoyuan held her hand: "People always have to get over sadness. You still have a long way to go. There are still many children waiting for you to take care of. I can give you the greatest s help."
"Not today."
Karen's voice was very low: "I have to go back to school. Principal Lucy is waiting for me."
"Then tomorrow."
Meng Shaoyuan forced himself to suppress his impatience: "At 3 o'clock tomorrow afternoon, I will open the red wine and wait for you here."
Karen's face felt like it was on fire.
…
"A total of fifty-four people were kidnapped at the Bank of China."
Wu Jingyi flipped through the information: "There is indeed a person named Han Yanyun among them. However, there is no way we can persuade No. 76 to release him."
"We must have chips in our hands." Meng Shaoyuan said thoughtfully: "Not only must we have chips, but we must also prevent the other party from knowing that our real target is Han Yanyun!"
It sounds simple, but it is troublesome to actually do it.
"Gotta take your time."
Just after Wu Jingyi finished speaking, Meng Shaoyuan gave a wry smile and said: "You can't take your time, you have to hurry up, otherwise, if that young lady really comes to Shanghai, we will be very happy."
"Actually, the eldest lady has helped us a lot in the past two years." Wu Jingyi said matter-of-factly: "She also values you very much, otherwise..."
"Don't even think about such a thing."
Meng Shaoyuan interrupted him: "You may not think that I am a powerful person in Shanghai, but I know my identity very well.
I have to be respectful to the Kong family and their daughter, so that they can give us the greatest help in Chongqing. I also know what Minister Kong had originally thought, but I can't involve the higher-ups, no. "
Meng Shaoyuan's mind is still very clear.
He and Kong Lingyi are good friends, but they can only be good friends.
It must not continue to develop.
That's very dangerous.
Wu Jingyi actually admires it.
Master Meng is a very lustful person, but he knows when to be lustful and when to be calm.
"Let's not talk about the eldest lady."
Meng Shaoyuan composed himself: "Help me pick up Li Shiqun No. 76."
"good!"
…
On the other end of the phone, Li Shiqun was not surprised at all by Meng Shaoyuan's call. He even had some expectations from his tone:
"Mr. Meng, it's been a long time."
"Hello, Mr. Li." Meng Shaoyuan was also very polite: "When will the preparations end?"
"I don't know." Li Shiqun knew what the other party meant there: "This is an order from above. To be more precise, it is the intention of President Zhou Fohai. I have no right to decide when it will end.
Ah, you must have followed the order of your chairman. To put it bluntly, the two of us are nothing more than two tools, and the decision-making power is not in our hands! "
"That's right."
Meng Shaoyuan said frankly: "Sometimes I also feel that we are very pitiful. We can't help ourselves. Tools? No, we are just toys, toys that specialize in doing dirty work.
Okay, let’s get down to business. You’ve arrested a lot of people from the four banks in Shanghai. As for me, I haven’t arrested anyone from the China Reserve Bank yet, so I personally suggest releasing some of the hostages. "
"I can't make this decision." Li Shiqun said very relaxedly: "Yes, we have arrested a lot of people, but I have the capital not to release them.
The headquarters of China Reserve Bank is within our control, and we have made full preparations. Even if you want to do it, it will not be that easy. I don't believe you dare to carry out large-scale kidnappings in Japanese-controlled areas! "
"Really?"
Meng Shaoyuan asked.
Li Shiqun ate it.
Really?
Is there anything that the person on the other end of the phone can’t do?
"wish you happiness."
After Meng Shaoyuan finished speaking, he hung up the phone.
Wu Jingyi didn't quite understand: "You know he won't let him go, why do you go to all this trouble?"
"Why? Because I decided to take action." Meng Shaoyuan said calmly: "To be honest, I am always a very polite person!"
