In the daytime, Shanghai is indeed a city of dreams. It is prosperous and beautiful, accommodates the dreams of careerists, carries the ambitions of invaders, and provides a chance for beggars to dream. Although the dream is unimaginable, I have never seen it before, so it is difficult to imagine it. Just like what the old farmers in the fields thought, the emperor might not have to use gold hoes for farming. The dreams offered here are more specific.
Even in very hot weather, there is an endless flow of people on the road and it is very lively. They include workers who work, homeless people and beggars who take shelter in the shade, women who meet up to drink tea and go shopping, and men who sit together to plan and talk.
Cars on the street honk their horns from time to time to urge pedestrians in front of them to move aside. Cars are expensive and the people riding in them have high status. They don't care what the people who are disturbed by their horns think. The trams pass by one after another, and there are always many people getting on and off at the stops.
At the junction of Father Jin Road and Xiafei Road, Yu Manli, who had taught Chinese language classes to elementary school children all morning, was wearing a dark red tight-fitting cheongsam and a pair of black ladies' leather shoes with small square heels. Carrying a delicate brown leather bag, she got off the tram gracefully.
Ignoring some men's unfavorable looks, she turned around and left along the road, looking at the shops on both sides of the road from time to time until she stopped at the door of a shop with the words 'He Ji Tailor Shop' written on it, and walked away very naturally. Go in.
As the store clerk greeted her, Yu Manli glanced around at the fabrics and ready-made clothes hanging in the room. She grabbed a few clothes and felt the fabrics. She asked, "Are there any new good materials? I want to make them custom-made." A new cheongsam.”
The guy asked: "What color does Miss like?"
"Cyan, the weather is too hot, I need something more breathable."
"I'm sorry, Miss, we don't have new cyan material, but we do have white ones. You can make a white dress, which suits your temperament and is cool to wear."
"Let's take a look and tell you. Where is it?"
"Our boss is in the back, and he happens to have some patterns. You can take a look and choose the style. Miss, please come over here."
Yu Manli followed the guy to the back and saw Wang Tianfeng standing there with his hands behind his back, pretending to be superior.
When he heard the door closing as the waiter left, Wang Tianfeng turned around and looked at the tired but rosy-faced Yu Manli. He looked up and down for a while, then nodded and asked, "How was it?"
"He has a good reputation. He is indeed very cunning, has strong insight, and is thoughtful. He is worthy of being Detective Hua, who has made his mark by solving crimes. However, he is also really lustful, and he is even said to be bold in his sexual behavior. Yesterday at Paramount, I approached him according to the method you taught me. He sensed something was wrong when we were drinking. Later, when we were dancing, he touched my body and hands, judging that I had received special training. She suspected my purpose of approaching him. But even under such circumstances, she took me back to the prince's mansion, without fear that I was going to assassinate him.
In addition, he has a good body and is very strong. He is not as thin as he looks at all. And in the morning, I saw him practicing martial arts on the grass. He was very natural and aggressive. Combined with his record of fighting with people on the street with a knife when he debuted, his mobility is definitely very strong. Considering his caution, when he was young, he might even have saved a few tricks and not shown that much strength. The purpose is to have room to fight back and survive when someone is offended and hunted.
He did not object to you sending me there, and even asked me to be careful to hide my whereabouts and not to contact you easily. He said that when I left Paramount with him, the Japanese had already launched an investigation into me. He also knew that our military commander had placed people under him, but I didn’t dare to ask. I wasn’t sure whether it was from Zhanfang or Yonghua Industrial, but he looked calm and confident and had everything under control. I think he might be Specific people have been targeted, and not just one.
There is another thing. He said that Du Yong was assassinated in Hong Kong at noon yesterday. Du Yong used the topic to encourage the Youth League gang to oppose him. He said it was done by the Japanese, and asked me to tell you that if you didn’t kill so many traitors and traitors who attended the reception a while ago, why don’t you keep them? He would give us a batch of medicines at cost price, saying that he didn’t have the guts to resist the Japanese, which was considered a consolation. Our people. "
After hearing what Yu Manli said about the situation, Wang Tianfeng laughed out loud: "He felt the pressure from the Japanese and was forced to have no choice. He wanted us to divert the Japanese's energy, so that he could have a few days of leisure. Not bad. , it’s a better deal than cost-effective. Now the value of medicines has doubled, especially the medicines for anti-inflammatory pain are in short supply. Our soldiers on the front line are suffering, they all have to amputate their limbs with wooden sticks in their mouths, hey..."
Thinking of the suffering of today's soldiers, he was silent for a while, and then asked: "Is there anything else? For example, some convenient details. Think about his unintentional words and his small actions."
"No more. He is so cautious. He wants to think about a sentence three times in his mind. There are basically no unintentional words... No!"
Yu Manli, who was lost in memories, suddenly stopped and faced Wang Tianfeng's probing eyes and said: "Yesterday before going to bed, he suddenly asked me who I was from. He guessed the Japanese and the Kuomintang, but he didn't guess the Red Party. I Asked him why, he shook his head and smiled, saying that the Red Party could not do such a thing, they have discipline. This shows that he knows the Red Party very well and does not reject it."
"You are still not familiar with his information, take a closer look when you go back." Wang Tianfeng shook his head: "He studied since he was a child and had excellent academic performance. Later, he also went to study in a foreign school funded by foreigners, and he studied equally well. It's just that he did very well. Later, he couldn't bear to listen to what those teachers said, so he walked on the streets with a knife. But he did not stop self-study. He was proficient in English, French, Japanese, Russian and other languages, and read countless books. I heard that he had a study room at home. There are several shelves of Chinese and foreign books.
Although the Red Party is not strong, it is very capable of winning over workers and students and converting capitalists and academics. We had contact with Wang Yan a few years ago. How could the Red Party not win over him? With his extensive knowledge and strong memory, how could he not understand the thoughts of the Red Party? Moreover, he has a high position, wide connections, and a wild career. He knows everything that I don't know. It is impossible to determine that he is loyal to the Red Party based on these alone.
You have been in Shanghai for more than half a month. It is impossible not to know that Wang Yan has now become the laughing stock of Shanghai because he wants to conduct research and open a factory. Those who do research are all great scholars. Our people have had close contact with us, and quite a few of them have shown signs of being red. Wang Yan still stays with them all day long doing research openly, but we don't care. Do you think the Japanese don't pay attention? Even those scholars who helped Wang Yan conduct research were bribed by the Japanese. If there is a problem with Wang Yan, no matter how high or important his position is, the Japanese will kill him immediately.
what's the result? It was Wang Yan who started a business in partnership with the consulate, and even some people from the Japanese army and navy, selling Japanese goods to the Kuomintang-controlled areas and Soviet areas. Although the packaging had been flipped, everyone knew it. I heard that Wang Yan has a relationship with Eiichi Iwai and they are very close. Do you think who stepped forward to cause trouble for Wang Yan? If he has good face and can hold his own, why do you think he can be so unreliable? It's because in the eyes of the three parties, he is a person with no secrets, who knows how to choose and how to advance and retreat. Anyone can be a Red Party member, but he cannot.
On the other hand, you have been in school for several years, and now you are a Chinese teacher. Your future interactions will definitely be with intellectuals of the same status, so you should be careful about being cheated. The Red Party is always good at telling stories. From their mouths, you may hear about people who have suffered worse than you. They attribute the misery of these people to various problems in today's society. Who is calling the shots in China today? It is the party-state and the chairman of the committee. These people talk a lot about their ideal of great harmony and degrade the party and state into nothing. Don't let me down..."
Yu Manli just nodded and said nothing more. She didn't like to talk to Wang Tianfeng.
"The dancers in Shanghai all say that Wang Yan has good sex, and that he is the most generous with his money. You have experienced it yourself. Tell me, how long have you been together? How much money has he given you?"
Seeing Yu Manli purse her lips and not want to speak, glaring at her, Wang Tianfeng sneered, glared suddenly, and shouted angrily in a low voice: "Do you think you are a yellow flower girl? Why are you pretending to be innocent with me? I know your identity, you You are on a mission, not really talking about love. The officer is asking you questions. Just answer whatever he asks you, answer me!"
Yu Manli was excited, clenched her fists, and stared at Wang Tianfeng. She wanted to stare Wang Tianfeng to death, but unfortunately, Wang Tianfeng's dead fish eyes were too oppressive, and she was defeated in the end. She sighed dejectedly. She really had nothing to be reserved about, so she accepted her fate and said, "It took nearly three hours and gave me a thousand dollars."
"No wonder you said she has good health and great strength..."
"Sir, is there anything else?"
Wang Tianfeng waved his hand boredly: "Let's make some clothes. You approached him for money. Now that you have the money, you have to spend it hard. Not only do you want to make clothes, you also have to go to high-end restaurants to eat. Go buy foreign cosmetics. You should look like a famous lady on the beach, but you can’t be so tacky, because you are an educated and knowledgeable female teacher. You have to control this yourself and don’t do it. She looks like a prostitute in a brothel."
Yu Manli took a long breath, glared at Wang Tianfeng, snorted coldly, turned around, opened the door and walked out. He always exposes her shorts and stimulates her. Although Wang Tianfeng is a lifesaver, he can't stand such stimulation. There was not much kindness in the first place, and the excitement was gone. After all, she wanted to die, so she was let go. After a grueling spy training, she was sent to Shanghai's Tang Gang tycoon to serve as a liaison tool. No matter how shameless and despicable she was, she still wanted some dignity, but Wang Tianfeng never gave it to her.
Wang Tianfeng also breathed a sigh of relief. Although he doesn't like women very much, it was three fucking hours...
For three hours, Wang Yan didn't know that Wang Tianfeng was so gossipy. He sat in the Huaiyang restaurant he frequented, eating and drinking elegantly in front of a table of various delicacies: "How's it going, Old Liu, have Feng Nirong and the others settled down? "
Liu Yitong, who was sitting opposite Qi Si, smiled and said: "You, Detective Wang, have put your gun on the head of an old senior like Du Yong, who dares to do anything about it? Du Yong sent a telegram overnight, what exactly did he say? I don’t know, but when I met with them in the morning, each one was more polite than the other, but they also said that they still hope that everyone can maintain the current stable situation, maintain the harmony of the Youth League, and everyone can work together to make a fortune together. Let me tell you, it’s all superficial, but I’m not convinced in my heart.”
Wang Yan also shook his head and laughed out loud: "These old guys are all very energetic, but they are also afraid of death. I don't understand, Old Liu, you said it has been more than a month since the Youth League was established, right? Except I accepted my fate as the accountant, investigated the background of the employees, and took the final decision on the construction and decoration of the headquarters building and the Golden Building. What else could I do to harm the current stable situation and destroy the harmony of the Youth League?
On the other hand, they, that old boy Du Yong, all went to Hong Kong to beg for food. They also followed Du Yong's orders and made trouble for me one by one. They checked the accounts and interfered with the construction of the headquarters building and the Golden Building. They made many comments and comments. They also need to discuss with me the specific bank management system to limit the power of me, the chairman. The people below are also ready to take action, killing, robbing, and stealing in my jurisdiction. Some people even went to the warehouse of the North Station to cause trouble, pretending to be the Green Gang from the Japanese side.
Now look at it, Du Yong was frightened by me. Only then did they realize that I, Mr. Wang, was not a sick cat. They were all scared to death and became friendly. What the hell, you still scold me every day for being greedy for money, lustful, greedy for life and afraid of death. The older you get, the less useful you become, and you have spent half your life in vain. What you said is right, I must be dissatisfied. I guess Du Yong has made some tricks to let them deal with me. "
"Then you have to be careful. Don't capsize in the gutter at this time. The Youth League, which finally seized the opportunity to be established, has tied up people like them. If something happens and the Youth League splits, the one who will suffer in the end will be we."
Liu Yitong was a little worried. His head hurt when he thought about Wang Yan's situation. He had to deal with the Japanese, the Kuomintang, and the Red Party. He also had to deal with the troubles in the Youth League, where the interests of foreigners had to be taken care of. , one after another, everything is troublesome. But Wang Yan is still casually eating, drinking and playing with women all day long. Oh, the women are fucking arranged by the Japanese. Under such circumstances, how can he still do research and build things with the people from Datong University all day long? Factory, he was really convinced, he would have died early if he had been there.
"It's the same thing again. When the Japanese don't find a Youth Gang that can command those who defect to the past, they must have a limit to their troubles. Otherwise, they will be buried with me when I die. At this point, we are already invincible. Land. As for Du Yong, what tricks does this old boy have..."
Wang Yan pondered for a moment, took a sip of wine and said, "In this way, tomorrow you can go to them with the accounting office to purchase the headquarters building, the construction of the gold building, and the decoration of both. It will cost a lot of money, and the banking business is developing slowly. The city and the exchange business with other banks were sluggish and could not be launched, so they were asked to increase their capital. I took the lead in providing $50,000 and asked them to contribute in proportion. If they did not contribute, the shares would be diluted in proportion to test their reaction first. Besides, do you have money? You don’t need me to help you with it, or I can buy a part of your shares and let you hold them on your behalf.”
"No, I don't have any money, so it's all in vain." Liu Yitong shook his head, looked up at Wang Yan's face, and asked, "Are you planning to take action?"
"Of course not. It's just an excuse to make them more closely bound to the Youth League. I offered 100,000 yuan before, and they offered 8 million. So this time, if they don't want to be out, or they can start again on their own If they want to compete with me in terms of allocating shares, if I offer 50,000, they will have to offer 4 million. After spending 12 million in cash, I don’t believe how much wealth they will have left, and they won’t be able to escape even if they want to. . Then let’s see how they respond. Then, just like I told you in the car, we’ll cut the flesh with a blunt knife, and we’ll hide behind and swallow them all up. I have the advantage, so I don’t believe they can survive. sky."
Du Yong is submissive on the surface, this is certain, Wang Yan knows this very well. Because Du Yong can die, anyone can kill him, but he cannot die in his hands. If he really kills Du Yong, there is no doubt that he will have an enmity with the Kuomintang, which will not be easily settled. Du Yong, who was threatened, naturally knew better. However, there is a limit, and Du Yong knows how to grasp it. Otherwise, if he is pushed to the limit and he really surrenders to the Japanese, in terms of today's value alone, Du Yong's ten lives will not be enough to compensate for the impact it will have on the situation. And if he really defected to the Japanese, the first person to be killed must be Du Yong. If you don't let me be good, then no one can be good to you.
Therefore, Wang Yanxian was in an invincible position. It was just a matter of making more money or less. He was not afraid of anything but the coming of soldiers to cover up the water and the earth. The situation seems chaotic, but the problem is not big and we can still handle it with ease.
"Okay, I'll tell them tomorrow morning." Liu Yitong nodded vigorously: "What if they don't pay? Just like the dilution you mentioned, the extra shares they have will definitely be given to others."
"Since the shares are small, it means that the family background is not strong, the ability is not great, and the sense of presence is not strong. As the saying goes, we will start with these people first. Once we get the easy ones, we can then nibble on the rest. A few stubborn people who are not convinced. But you have to pay attention, some of them must have been bribed by the Japanese, so be careful."
"Don't worry, I understand."
The two clinked glasses and took a sip of wine, and the conversation turned to the trivial matters of catching a house and Liu Yitong's family as a married man. Liu Yitong's daughter-in-law gave birth to a son for him. He was known outside as a housekeeper who was very strict with her husband. Liu Yitong also became a person who was afraid of his wife. In addition to dealing with the worldly affairs, he would eat, drink and gamble, but would not go whoring, every night. He must go home, he is a good man.
They talked without saying a word, and Qi Si, a young man, occasionally interrupted, laughing and joking, which was quite happy...
