The 308th Palm My Steward
Meng Shaoyuan, it's against you, you're lawless and boundless, aren't you! â
On the phone, the roar of Zhou Weilong, head of the Shanghai Special Region of the Military Command, came: "Are you robbing people everywhere? Twelve new students, just arrived in the public concession, and you robbed them? That's Lao Tzu's people! The team below Lao Tzu is waiting to be replenished! â
"District Chief Zhou, rest your anger, stop your anger." Meng Shaoyuan accompanied the smiling face: "Which bastard did this?" I'll check it out in a while, and if I find out, I will definitely not spare him! â
"Meng Shaoyuan, you kid will pretend to be with me! Your lawless subordinates are robbing people everywhere, and when they see new students, they smell blood with wolves, and their eyes are shining. Now that my people have brought the lawsuit to me, what do you say? â
"Thoroughly, thoroughly. By the way, District Chief Zhou, I just got two good cigarettes, and I'll send someone to bring you one in two days. â
"You don't come to this set with me, you send someone to bring me cigarettes immediately, fuck, your kid is about the same addict to cigarettes as me, after a long time, this cigarette has already been smoked by you."
"Immediately, immediately, I'll send someone to you in a moment."
"Shaoyuan, there are many casualties." On the other end of the phone, Zhou Weilong sighed: "I can't stand it when I'm drunk, so I've withdrawn." This battle has to go on, and I don't know how many more people will die. Be careful yourself. â
"Thank you, District Chief Zhou, for your concern. By the way, that classmate of mine, Chen Rongyang, was in a cowardly battle, and I asked him to surrender to you, did you go? â
Zhou Weilong sneered: "Surrender is surrender, but it's not me who came, I went to Secretary Cheng Yiming Cheng." You, Meng Shao, originally thought that I was the number one in Shanghai, but some people didn't think so. Brother, put this matter aside for the time being, and talk about it later, in extraordinary times, we still have to support each other. â
"District Chief Zhou, please rest assured, Shao Yuan knows it."
Someone was knocking on the door of District Mayor Zhou's office, and Zhou Weilong immediately raised his voice on the phone: "Meng Shaoyuan, if you dare to rob people again, I will come to you in person to theorize!" â
The phone hung up.
Meng Shaoyuan smiled.
There are wars going on everywhere, Zhou Weilong is very busy, and with his relationship with him, where will he take care of such a trivial matter as robbing a few people?
This is nothing more than doing it for subordinates to see.
The drama on face always has to be played enough.
"Director Meng."
"Assistant Wu, what's the matter?"
"The guy you're looking for has been found."
"Ah, tell me quickly."
"That person's name is Yang Zhenhua, who was originally the chief of staff of the 78th Division, a lieutenant colonel, and once studied at the Japanese Non-commissioned Officer School. Coincidentally, Director Dai was forming the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Action Team, and Yang Zhenhua was seconded to serve as the Chief of Staff of the Action Team. â
It's him, it's him, it's him!
Meng Shaoyuan was overjoyed in his heart, and then frowned: "No, the chief of staff of a division also studied at the Japanese non-commissioned officer school, how can he be a colonel now, why is he still a lieutenant colonel with the same rank as me?" â
"Yang Zhenhua has been with our Lixing Club for a long time, the 78th Division is the 19th Route Army, the 19th Route Army has always been at odds with the Lixing Society, the division commander Li Wen has had a holiday with the Lixing Society, Yang Zhenhua and Li Wen took office almost at the same time, Li Wen suppressed him to death, and Yang Zhenhua also had a hard time and couldn't speak. This time the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Action Team was formed, and Director Dai saw that he really couldn't play a role in the 78th Division, so he seconded him, and Li Wen also wished that he would get out of the way as soon as possible. â
I see.
Since Yang Zhenhua himself is already a spy of Lixing Society, it will be much easier.
Wu Jingyi continued: "We have already asked Yang Zhenhua to come here immediately, it is the order of Director Dai himself, and his office is in the suburbs. â
Meng Shaoyuan nodded: "As soon as you arrive, you will immediately bring it to me secretly, remember, don't let anyone see it, by the way, when will Nanmu Minitaka come?" â
"Let's go down tomorrow and arrive in Shanghai." Wu Jingyi has a very clear grasp of this information.
Meng Shaoyuan pondered there for a while: "Now we can use the manpower immediately, is there any?" â
"Yes, the Ji Shuang team is active in the concession."
"Transfer Ji Shuang to me immediately."
"Yes!"
Here we go.
With the arrival of Minoru Kusunoki, his plan is about to start in full swing.
There's a knock on the door.
"Come in."
Well? Aarau?
Black servant Arau?
Arau held a tray with teapots, teacups, and biscuits.
"Sir, it's tea time." Arau said respectfully.
What? Afternoon tea?
Meng Shaoyuan was a little stunned: "You, how did you come here?" Where did all this stuff come from? â
"Sir." Aarau put the tray in front of Meng Shaoyuan: "Ms. Wu helped me find a place to live, just next door to your office, I asked her to borrow some money, and told him that my master would help me pay it back." â
"Wait, wait, your master? Your master Daniel is in England. â
"Monsieur Daniel has abandoned me, and Arau will do nothing but be a servant. So Arau needs a new owner. You have taken me in, kind sir, so from now on allow me to be your servant. Until Mr. Daniel finds me and presents you with reasonable evidence to get me back. Until then, you will be my master. â
What!
A servant?
Meng Shaoyuan was dumbfounded, he never thought that he would have a black servant.
It has long been known that in Europe, especially in Britain, many people have been servants for life, especially those blacks brought back during the great colonization of the Sun Never Setting Empire, and have long recognized their status as servants.
Didn't expect to meet yourself?
A black servant?
"Master." Aarau completely ignored Meng Shaoyuan's shock: "Since Miss Wu didn't lend me much money, I had to figure out how to do it myself, it was too rude, I didn't buy authentic British black tea, so I could only use ordinary tea instead." These cookies are not John's handmade biscuits, but I have such a short time and only a small amount of money to do this. â
Served, served.
Meng Shaoyuan picked up the biscuit and took a bite: "After a while, I'll give you a sum of money, don't get me wrong, it's not for you to wait for me, it's for you to see what you need to do in the place where you live, this is also my negligence." And this afternoon tea, free, free, is now at war. â
"No, master." Arau was very stubborn: "As a gentleman, afternoon tea is essential, even if the matter is urgent. Of course, the master can not do without, but Arau cannot but prepare. Otherwise, when others see it, they will say, behold, how uncultured and rude that is, and how not even for his master to prepare afternoon tea. â
Meng Shaoyuan picked up the tea and wanted to take a sip, but he almost choked when he heard this.
The British have a sacred ritual for tea, and it is said that the British can conjure a cup of black tea even on the iceberg.
During the retreat from Dunkirk, the most common thing the British officer said to the soldiers was:
âpnïŒ Keep your composure and make some tea. â
Even if the German planes are bombing, when it is time to have afternoon tea, the officers' orderlies will definitely open the folding chairs, make tea, prepare snacks, and then the officers will leisurely drink tea amid the sound of bombing.
I never thought that my Young Master Meng would actually drink afternoon tea?
"There's a lot to do, my clothes are torn while chasing the thief, I need to buy a dress, decent clothes, so that I don't gossip about my master," he said, "I think we need a cook, a driver, a nanny." Although Mr. Daniel is reluctant to spend money, he will not fail to do what is necessary."
Meng Shaoyuan's head was big when he heard it. He was afraid that Aarau would not finish talking, so he quickly interrupted him: "These, you go to do it, go and choose a bigger house, and the people you said are right, you go to Manager Xu Chengboxu, if you need funds or other assistance, you can find him." Aarau, you will be my butler for the time being. â
What he never expected was that Meng Shaoyuan's smooth words made Aarau's body tremble in an instant.
His eyes were clearly shining with crystal tears.
Meng Shaoyuan was frightened: "Alao, what's wrong with you?" â
"My most honorable master, my most merciful gentleman." As soon as Arrau opened his mouth, tears flowed out: "You actually let me be your butler, my God, I don't know how to express my gratitude." It has been several generations since we arrived in England, and my grandfather, who had the privilege of being Mr. Little's assistant butler, ah, he was the father of Mr. Daniel's grandfather, and that was already the highest honour in our family, and my God, you had appointed me as a butler?
A black housekeeper? Of all the negroes I know, I remember, Rondo was the only one who served as a butler, and now you have bestowed upon me that highest honor. Oh, my God! â
Not really, right?
Meng Shaoyuan was stupid when he heard it, so he appointed a housekeeper by the way.
Look at Aarau's excitement, as if you want to kneel down and thank you right now.
In England, these servants, who have served a family for generations, have devoted their lives to becoming stewards and receiving this supreme honor.
As soon as he was appointed by Young Master Meng, Aarau felt that he was only twenty-five years old this year, but he had become a housekeeper and had reached the pinnacle of his life.
What else could he complain about?
Mr. Meng is the noble man of his life.
"Director Meng, huh?" Wu Jingyi walked in, and was about to report to work, but when she saw Aarau's appearance, she was stunned: "What's wrong?" â
"Arau, I still have something to do, you can go back first."
Aarau wiped away his tears, put away the tray with the most calm and unhurried movements, and then bowed slightly to Meng Shaoyuan in the most polite way:
"Yes, sir."
At this moment, Aarau's heart was full of pride, and he even wanted to shout to the world: "Hey, look, I'm already a real housekeeper!" â
Ah, no, a true butler must know etiquette!
