Lost and Spy

Chapter 254 Shimonoseki Restaurant
Shame!
Horse riding is a noble sport.

No matter from which aspect, the so-called horse riding means riding Mongolian horses, Arabian horses, pinto horses and so on.

No matter how bad it is, riding a pony is acceptable.

Riding is riding a horse.

Not riding a donkey.

People ride horses and I ride donkeys.

Young Master Meng never took the usual path.

Shame!
Young Master Meng let out a mournful cry in his heart.

Didn't he just offend you Miss Kong during the art exhibition?What about you?
You ride a horse, why give me a donkey?

You are a tall horse, what about me?
The fuck am I Zhang Guolao?
What's even more irritating is that the eldest lady still wants to ride a horse to go side by side with young master Meng.

That scene!
A man riding a tall horse was accompanied by a man riding a donkey.

Young Master Meng wanted to cry.

So, don't offend the rich and powerful.

These dignitaries may not do anything ridiculous.

"Chief Meng."

"Miss."

Meng Shaoyuan found that he had to turn sideways and hold his head up in order to talk to the eldest lady.

"I managed to get someone to find this donkey. Are you used to riding it?"

Get used to your sister.

Seeing Meng Shaoyuan's bitter face, Kong Lingyi suppressed the urge to laugh: "When did you learn to ride a horse?"

"I have learned it a long time ago." Meng Shaoyuan boasted: "When I was in Hangzhou Police Academy, my horse riding skills were among the best among the students in the same class."

Blowhard!

Kong Lingyi asked slowly, "Does your...his still hurt?"

what?
Meng Shaoyuan blushed instantly.

You already know the co-author?
Say it earlier, and let your young master Meng come here to make such a fool of himself.

"Meng Shaoyuan, it's fun to brag about your seriousness."

Are you praising me or scolding me?
Seeing the embarrassment on Meng Shaoyuan's face, Kong Lingyi finally couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Okay, it's enough to embarrass you, I told my father what you want me to do, and he agreed. There will be news in a few days."

Meng Shaoyuan was overjoyed, and any embarrassment or embarrassment was thrown out of the blue in an instant.

It's really easy for someone in the court to handle things.

Dai Li spent so long and couldn't solve the problem, so he stayed with the eldest lady for a few days and it was done.

The establishment of the special fund will solve many problems for the military command.

You don't have to worry about this for the next few years.

"I heard that the Ministry of Finance has a vacancy in Shanghai."

Kong Lingyi suddenly said: "You once expressed your views on the country's economy with your uncle, which is very insightful, so are you interested in developing financially?"

Meng Shaoyuan was startled.

Ah, what I said to Song Ziwen about the country's economic construction that day, do other people know?

"Uncle told my mother that day." Kong Lingyi seemed to be comforting Meng Shaoyuan there: "He was full of praise for you, saying that it is really rare for someone engaged in spy work to have unique insights into the economy."

Meng Shaoyuan was silent for a while: "Miss, I have been a spy for a long time, so I still think this place is more suitable for me."

Kong Lingyi nodded: "Since this is the case, then I won't force you. Your two Shanghai districts are planning to appoint a new deputy district chief. If you want, I can talk to Dai Li."

This is an opportunity to step up to the sky.

But Meng Shaoyuan knew that there is no free cake in this world.

From a small spy to the deputy section chief, I have climbed up step by step. Among them, Dai Li's appreciation for me is more due to my own hard work.

So even though he is the youngest department-level cadre in the second office, there are actually almost no people who oppose him.

Although I will go to Shanghai sooner or later, it is definitely not now.

Now go, no one will convince themselves.

Shanghai is too big, those district chiefs and station chiefs, who in their hearts would take themselves seriously.

How can I be so comfortable in Nanjing, I can do whatever I want, and no one cares about what I want to do.

Immediately go to Shanghai, do everything will be tied, everywhere is restrained.

As Chen Rongyang said, in Shanghai, there can be broadly divided into "Concession School" and "Hongkou School".

The other forces are probably even more complicated.

If one is not done well, don't do anything, just think about how to get along with these forces.

The best time to cut in is to gain a firm foothold in the base camp now, and then wait for the outbreak of the Songhu Battle. When the gunpoints are unanimous, enter Shanghai in one fell swoop, and open up your own sphere of influence in Shanghai with the momentum of autumn wind sweeping the fallen leaves.

Therefore, Meng Shaoyuan said: "Miss, thank you for your kindness. But Shaoyuan is going to be the deputy head of the district now. I am afraid there will be many people who are not convinced, so let's take it step by step."

A trace of disappointment flashed across Kong Lingyi's eyes.

Meng Shaoyuan was alert, and immediately said: "However, in a few months, Shaoyuan will definitely come to Shanghai, and he will stay there for a long time."

"Really?"

"real!"

Kong Lingyi smiled: "Then I'll be waiting for you, Chief Meng, in Shanghai."

don't wait.

It's really coming, it's a war.

That's not a good thing.

Kong Lingyi smiled and said, "Meng Shaoyuan, let's ride a horse and run around. If anyone loses, whoever treats us today will be chosen by the winner!"

"Ah! Miss, I am a donkey!"

"So what? I think you're a donkey, go! Drive!"

"Hey, you are playing a rascal... Go, fuck, you lazy donkey, go!"

……

Nanjing, Xiaguan, French Lips restaurant.

This is the most western-style place in Nanjing, where the main road, the central bank, commercial banks and foreign firms gather, and ladies, gentlemen, dignitaries and dignitaries are all proud of this consumption.

At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the western powers set their sights on Nanjing, and Jinling Pass was forced to open to the outside world. Along the 2.5 kilometers along the bank of the Yangtze River, the width is about 0.5 kilometers. Businesses such as clocks and watches, banks, and silver buildings are densely packed here, as well as several Western buildings.

Including the former site of the Jiangnan Post Administration Bureau and the Bank of China Nanjing Branch.

For a while, Damalu became the busiest and most western commercial port street in Xiaguan, and it was also the most prosperous center in Nanjing.

Among them, Bank of China Nanjing Branch is undoubtedly the most eye-catching.

The three-story reinforced concrete structure, six thick pillars highlight the European architectural style, simple, pure, noble and domineering, with a hint of central bank atmosphere.

And next to it is Lips Western Restaurant, which is said to be the most expensive restaurant in Xiaguan.

Those who come here to spend money are either rich or expensive. If a small businessman comes here once, he will feel distressed for a year.

When Miss Kong came, it was the French owner of the western restaurant, Pompede, who greeted her personally.

Meng Shaoyuan had been coming to Xiaguan all the time, but this was the first time he entered Lips Western Restaurant.

That decor, that taste.

Even in the era of Meng Shaoyuan, it is not outdated at all.

In order to welcome Ms. Kong, the Lips Western Restaurant was cleared today, and only the table of Miss Kong was accepted.

This is pie.

Meng Shaoyuan was amazed.

"Meng Shaoyuan." As soon as he sat down, Kong Lingyi said, "I asked them to clear the venue."

"Miss is a big face."

"No, it should be said that you, Meng Ke, have made a big deal."

"why?"

"You pay for the charter."

"what!"

Meng Shaoyuan almost sat down on the ground.

Package... field!

How much the fuck does it cost?
Your eldest lady is the trustee of this restaurant, right?

How could her young lady take care of this?

Red meat with red wine.

But in the eyes of his young master Meng, all the money flying in front of his eyes.

"Refill, refill."

Meng Shaoyuan simply took the red wine bottle and poured himself a large glass full of red wine.

The contempt in the waiter's eyes couldn't be hidden from Young Master Meng.

What if I fill up?

I am a consumer, and I have reserved the venue, so I have the final say here.

Looking at Kong Lingyi again, he seems to have gotten used to Meng Shaoyuan's rude behavior.

In fact, it wouldn't be Meng Shaoyuan's character if he didn't do this.

After the main meal, the after-dinner drink was brandy. Kong Lingyi asked someone to add a little coffee to it, and then asked the waiter to leave, not to come unless asked.

Seeing that Meng Shaoyuan raised his head and took another big gulp, he said with a smile, "You can try to warm the cup with your palm, so that the wine in the cup will exude a more mellow taste."

"is it?"

Meng Shaoyuan tried half-heartedly.

fraud.

Why can't I taste any mellow taste?
"Have you always eaten Western food like this?"

Kong Lingyi was a little curious: "Just like before?"

"No, I know it's very disrespectful for me to eat like that just now." Meng Shaoyuan filled his glass with wine again: "I know the rules of eating Western food, red meat and white meat, pre-dinner wine and mid-dinner wine, guests drink at once Three cups. The problem is that I don’t need it now, you are not a spy, and I don’t need to deliberately hide anything in front of your eldest lady.”

A gleam of relief flashed in Kong Lingyi's eyes: "You are an agent, do you want to change your identity at any time?"

Meng Shaoyuan nodded: "I can't tell others that I'm an agent and I'm here to arrest you. Sometimes, I play myself and forget who I am. Forget it, it's better for your eldest lady not to know about these things. .”

Sure enough, Kong Lingyi didn't ask any more questions, but just slightly raised his cup: "Meng Shaoyuan, thank you for protecting me these past few days, and also let me see some things that I couldn't see before. Don't forget your promise to me, Will come to Shanghai."

"It will definitely come." Meng Shaoyuan murmured: "And soon. It's just that at that time, there are still many things to ask the eldest lady for help."

"Find me a way?"

"Yes." Meng Shaoyuan didn't deny it at all: "You also know the rules here. If you follow the normal way for some things, you may not be able to do it in a few months. But if you can get through to the relationship, you can do it with a phone call." solved."

"Then I'll do my best."

"Thank you, miss." Meng Shaoyuan raised his glass: "I wish you a smooth journey."

"Thank you, I hope to see you in Shanghai soon, Meng Shaoyuan."

Well, there are two women available in Shanghai Meng Shaoyuan.

One is Cai Xuefei, Mrs. Qiangwei.

Another one is this young lady.

For that day to come, Meng Shaoyuan has already made sufficient preparations.

Including Yuan Zhonghe who had been sent to Shanghai long ago.

And that day is coming soon.
