Chapter 206: Arrogant
Every New Year, Du Yuesheng's wine banquet is always a major feature.
Not to mention that the leaders and faces of the Shanghai Youth Gang will come to cheer, and those celebrities from all walks of life, and even politicians, are also proud to receive Du Yuesheng's invitation.
Of course, this is not the case for everyone.
Some famous people are still ashamed to eat at the same table with people like Du Yuesheng.
In their eyes, a hooligan will always be a hooligan, no matter how much he wants to clear his name, he wants to keep himself from the identity of a hooligan, but this brand has been deeply engraved on them.
For example, Yu Daxiong, the editor-in-chief of "Jing Bao", who published an issue on the third day, and Du Yuesheng are not in the same day.
Although this "Jing Bao" is only a tabloid, its influence in Shanghai Tang is extraordinary.
Any newspaper that is afraid to be published, inconvenient to publish, or disdain to be published can be published in Shanghai's "Jing Bao", which is why it has the title of "the king of tabloids" and is also known as the "head of tabloids".
Shanghainese people can not read the big newspapers, but they have to read the "Jing Bao".
The best thing is that most of the manuscripts of "Jing Bao" do not pay remuneration except for the long articles. But the literati in Shanghai are proud to have their articles published in Jing Bao.
But it is such an influential newspaper, because an article alluded to Du Yuesheng, the newspaper office was smashed by a group of hooligans.
Yu Daxiong is a stubborn man, the more you smash my newspaper, the more I want to expose your ugly side, so he simply concentrated his firepower to attack Du Yuesheng.
His newspaper office had been set on fire, his car had been smashed, and even he himself had been attacked by unknown thugs, and if it hadn't been for the patrolman passing by, he would not have died.
So much so that he had to hire two foreign boxers as his bodyguards.
This year, Du Yuesheng held a New Year's party, and Yu Daxiong was the first to publish an article in the "Jing Bao", saying that so many civilized people in Shanghai actually went to participate in the banquet of a big hooligan leader, and they were not ashamed, but thought they were proud.
Because the influence of this newspaper on Shanghai is too great, many people are a little afraid and have found excuses not to come.
This also made Du Yuesheng very annoyed, and he couldn't wait to immediately put Yu Daxiong in a sack and throw him into the Huangpu River.
But firstly, he has the protection of foreigners around him, and secondly, this person has a very high social status and extensive travel, and he is nicknamed "Foot Editor", and some friends even joked that "I search for friends' writings and are ruthless in the officialdom." ”
Therefore, if he is about to die, he must cause an uproar in Shanghai.
In the past, you always had to set up seven or eight tables, but this year there are only five tables in total.
"Mr. Du, some people have called, saying that they can't come because of something important, and some people simply don't answer our calls." Du Yuesheng's eldest disciple, Gu Jiatang, the head of the "Four King Kongs", said in a low voice: "Do you want to send someone to invite them?" ”
"No need." Du Yuesheng said lightly: "Those who came are all friends." If they don't come, let them go. I understand the truth of self-preservation. The banquet started at 12 o'clock on time. ”
"Okay, Mr. Du."
Du Yuesheng, accompanied by his disciples, hugged his fists at the table, thanking them for coming to the banquet.
"Mr. Du." His second disciple, Gao Xinbao, hurriedly walked in and whispered in his ear, "Meng Shao of the Lixing Society is here. ”
Du Yuesheng was stunned: "That Meng Shaoyuan from Nanjing? ”
Just before, Yuan Yichang from the Shanghai Station of Lixing Club came to visit him, and between his words, he faintly talked about the grievances between Du Yuesheng and Kong Xiangxi, and hinted that Kong Xiangxi transferred someone named Meng Shaoyuan to find trouble with Du Yuesheng.
To be honest, Du Yuesheng really didn't take the grievances with Kong Xiangxi to heart, Kong Xiangxi was an official in Nanjing, and he had a bunch of national affairs to take care of, what was the little thing at the beginning?
And during the New Year's holidays, Du Yuesheng always sent people to give gifts to Kong Xiangxi, and even his family in Shanghai also had a number of gifts.
Kong Xiangxi and his family received these gifts, which also made Du Yuesheng feel more at ease.
It's just that now why do you think of coming to trouble yourself again?
Du Yuesheng specially asked Yuan Yichang about the origin of this name Meng Shaoyuan, and after figuring it out, he snorted coldly in his nose: "It turned out to be Dai Yunong's cronies." ”
He almost said the words "Dai Li's little deflated three".
When Dai Li went down to the river to take a bath, a group of naughty students took the only clothes he put on the bank, if it weren't for Hu Zongnan, who was a teacher that year, he scolded his students in time and helped him out of the siege, Dai Li was afraid that he would have to go bare.
At that time, he Du Yuesheng had already been on the beach.
At the earliest, the relationship between Du Yuesheng and Dai Li was indeed very good, and the two even worshipped each other, but when the chairman decided to suppress the Shanghai Youth Gang forces, Dai Li was obviously estranged from Du Yuesheng a lot, which was also the most dissatisfied place in Du Yuesheng's heart.
However, now that Dai Li is in charge of so many spies, Du Yuesheng is also a little jealous, so it is not easy to show his disdain directly on his face.
Hearing that Meng Shaoyuan actually came to the door, Du Yuesheng sighed slightly: "Please!" ”
"Where's the arrangement?"
"Deputy, how many people are here?"
"Two, a man and a woman."
"Then let Lao Qian and Boss Ma give up their positions."
The people sitting at the main table are all people with heads and faces in Shanghai, and it is already very face-saving for Meng Shaoyuan to sit in the deputy seat.
After a while, I saw Meng Shaoyuan, who was dressed in a suit, carrying a civilized stick, and wearing a top hat, and a young and beautiful woman holding his arm and wearing a fashionable coat came in.
This is naturally Zhu Yanni.
Meng ...... Boss. Du Yuesheng greeted him.
This time, the guests were very curious, who are these two young people, and why did they let Mr. Du greet them in person?
"Du Yuesheng, I heard that you held a banquet, so I'll come to have a drink." Meng Shaoyuan said with a smile.
The guests were shocked.
Du Yuesheng's disciples all had angry faces.
What is the origin of this young man?
Others call Du Yuesheng, generally "Mr. Du", no matter how bad it is, it is also "Boss Du", but he actually calls him by his name?
But Du Yuesheng didn't care: "I usually can't invite Boss Meng, but today Boss Meng came in person, that's the best." Please, deputy please, the position has been arranged for you. ”
"Deputy?" Meng Shaoyuan smiled: "Du Yuesheng, what are you and me?" A little deflated three from other places on the beach? ”
Du Yuesheng was not angry: "Boss Meng, I really didn't know that you were coming before, if I knew earlier, I must arrange it for you at the main table, you see, this main table is full......"
"It's full, someone can let it." Meng Shaoyuan took Zhu Yanni to the main table and looked at a person in a tunic suit: "What are you doing?" ”
"Deputy Director of the Municipal Construction Bureau of the Shanghai Municipal Government!"
"Nacheng, sit down."
Whoever is an official shall not be offended.
Meng Shaoyuan's gaze fell on a person, and he suddenly arched his hand with a smile:
"Boss Ji!"
Ji Yunqing!
In fact, as soon as he came in, Ji Yunqing recognized him:
That Shanghai Dance King Charles Meng!
And the Thirteen Taibao under his command, the Black Tiger Tao Jianbao, died in Nanjing, and was also killed by Meng Shaoyuan of the Lixing Society.
Seeing Charles Meng at this time, Ji Yunqing immediately linked him with Meng Shaoyuan.
However, Ji Yunqing is also an old fox, and he is silent: "It turned out to be Boss Meng, it's been a long time, it's been a long time." ”
"You've known each other for a long time." Du Yuesheng asked.
Meng Shaoyuan didn't pay attention to him at all: "No one dares to grab Boss Ji's position, you sit down." ”
It's not yet time to turn around with Ji Yunqing.
This time, I am mainly here to deal with Du Yuesheng, and it is not good to add another opponent.
He glanced at a middle-aged man: "What about you?" Who are you? ”
The man clenched his fists: "There is a line in the sky, and a stick of incense is inserted in the ground." Brother's surname is Hong, Pudong Camel Yang! ”
"What a mess." Meng Shaoyuan was most afraid of listening to this kind of incision: "A hooligan, sitting here? Get up and sit on the sidelines. ”
Camel Yang was furious, and was about to get angry, when he suddenly saw Du Yuesheng give him a look, stood up with his anger, glared at Meng Shaoyuan viciously, and reluctantly went to the deputy seat.
At the main table, a person took the initiative to stand up again, and said with a smile: "I am Lu Bohong, president of the Shanghai Industrial and Commercial Charity Federation. I don't look qualified to sit here either, I'll go to the deputy seat, I'll go to the deputy seat. ”
Oh, it was the one who founded the first tram, did a lot of good things for China's business community, in order to defend Nanjing, in order to respond to the call, a merchant ship sank itself in the designated area, but unfortunately after the Japanese invaders occupied Shanghai, the evening was not guaranteed, and he became a member of the executive committee of the "Shanghai Citizens' Association" sponsored by the Japanese invaders, and was the first on the list of the military commander's agent anti-traitor plan, and Lu Bohong, who was assassinated and killed?
came out with two empty seats, Meng Shaoyuan was not polite, sat down with Zhu Yanni in a big smile, took off his top hat, and called Du Yuesheng's eldest disciple Gu Jiatang to his side, without speaking, with his hand stretched out, the top hat was handed to Gu Jiatang.
This is to make it clear that Gu Jiatang is called as a waiter.
If it weren't for Du Yuesheng's eyes, I was afraid that Gu Jiatang would have an attack immediately.
Seeing that the guests had arrived, Du Yuesheng cleared his throat: "Everyone, everyone, Du Mou prepared a thin banquet today, thank you for appreciating the light......"
"Darling, this is the famous three-yellow chicken in Shanghai, eat it quickly." Meng Shaoyuan picked up a piece of three-yellow chicken and put it on the plate in front of Zhu Yanni.
"Ouch, people don't like to eat it." Zhu Yanni said with a sigh.
"It's so delicious with soy sauce."
As if there was no one next to the two people, and the voice was loud, Du Yuesheng seemed to have good self-cultivation, and when they finished speaking, he continued: "Under the wise leadership of our people's government, my Shanghai is thriving......
"Du Yuesheng, your words are wrong." Meng Shaoyuan suddenly interrupted him with a loud voice: "First, you can't represent the national government, you are at best a green gang boss. Second, what does it mean to 'my Shanghai is thriving'? This is a misnomer. Ah, I don't blame you, you can't recognize a few words! ”
Even if he is blind, he knows that this "Boss Meng" is here to deliberately smash the field today.
If something big happens, Mr. Du's banquet, who dares to make trouble after eating the bear's heart and leopard? Mr. Du endured it again and again, but this person was too much, right? Something is going to happen.
Sure enough, Gu Jiatang and Gao Xinbao really couldn't bear it:
"The surname Meng, you dare to come here to make trouble, you are blinding your dog's eyes!"
