Spy War 1929

Chapter 34 The Biggest Difference
After taking care of Chen Lianshan and making sure that he would not mess up, Chen Ledao heaved a rare sigh of relief.Before that, he was worried that one day the old man would just give him a three-foot white silk if he couldn't think about it.If that's the case, then it's really chirping again.

In terms of stubbornness, Chen Lianshan is definitely the most stubborn person Chen Ledao has ever met.It's just that his stubbornness is admirable, and he can't get bored.

For Chen Ledao, the matter of Chen Lianshan was temporarily over.No need to worry about Old Chen's family anymore, Chen Ledao relaxed, and directly invited Fang Yanyun to come out to play together.

After chatting in the garden last time, the relationship between the two has improved by leaps and bounds. Chen Ledao feels that this sister seems to regard him as a boyfriend now.Of course, this term is not popular in this day and age.Perhaps it is more appropriate to use a blue-faced confidant.

No matter happy or unhappy things, Fang Yanyun likes to chat with him.In Fang Yanyun's own words, getting along with him is very easy.

Chen Ledao was not at all surprised by this.After all, he is a latecomer, and his concept of dealing with things is still somewhat different from that of the people of the world.He really doesn't have the inherent views of men of this era when it comes to women.

Although Chen Ledao was a bit greedy for Fang Yanyun's face, any man would have such thoughts, and he was not ashamed.Knowing that Fang Yanyun was pretending to be a strong brother in his heart, Chen Le said that Fang Yanyun had always been treated as a friend without any overstepping.

Chen Ledao is not like other men, his eyes glow green after seeing her, and they are all greedy for her body.Perhaps it was because of this that Fang Yanyun felt a long-lost respect from him, which made her attitude towards Chen Ledao different from that of ordinary people.

When Chen Ledao first arrived in Shanghai, he was very curious about the long-famous Paramount.The signboard of Paramount still existed until he came here, so it can be said that it is a real century-old brand.

Not to mention that in the major film and television dramas of the Republic of China, Paramount always exists.However, Chen Ledao didn't know that Paramount didn't exist until he inquired about it.This made his desire to visit suddenly come to nothing.

The place Chen Ledao and Fang Yanyun went to was Yeweiyang Song and Dance Hall, originally named Lihai Song and Dance Hall, which was the dance hall that Chen Ledao got from Hengsan.After Chen Ledao took over, he changed the name and turned it into Yeweiyang Song and Dance Hall.

After Hengsan's incident was over, Chen Ledao arranged Ding Li here, and he has been here to help him watch the scene recently.

"Brother," seeing Chen Le said, Ding Li ran over from a long distance, followed by Chang Gui and A Biao.

"Miss Fang," several people greeted Fang Yanyun standing behind after approaching.I was a little curious in my heart, wondering what the relationship between their elder brother and Fang Yanyun was.

At the same time, I admire my eldest brother for being able to play with someone like Fang Yanyun.Is there any man in Shanghai who doesn't want to play with Fang Yanyun?Being able to play with her is a sign of success.

"Chang Gui, go and arrange a seat for Miss Fang." Chen Ledao said to Chang Gui, and then asked Fang Yanyun to sit for a while.He takes care of things.

Fang Yanyun was a little curious about Chen Ledao's familiarity with this place, but she didn't ask any further questions, and followed A Biao.

"Ali, has anyone come to make trouble recently?" Chen Ledao looked at it, and the business was much better than before.Maybe it's because he changed it a little bit.

It used to be Hengsan's property here, but Hengsan had no influence in the French Concession, so the dance hall was also uneasy, which made the business here very bad.

"At first there were people who came to make trouble, but you let the police come here often, and Chief Inspector Ma came here a few times in person to warn those people, no one dared to come." Ding Li smiled, and he Not to mention how satisfied I am with my current job, which is decent and profitable.In the past, he didn't even dare to enter the dance hall, but now he directly manages a dance hall.Who dares to think? !

Chen Ledao nodded in satisfaction after hearing this. Although Lao Ma is slick, he is still very interesting.

Although he had nothing to do in the patrol room every day, he didn't do nothing.At least for Inspector Ma, he made the relationship between the two of them very good.

As early as after taking over here, Chen Ledao found Lao Ma and asked his subordinates to come here often to avoid trouble.In the end, I didn't expect him to come in person. This guy really has his own way of handling things.No wonder he was able to climb to the position of Chief Inspector, one level higher than Zhu Runjiu.

Chen Ledao admired Lao Ma a little in his heart. This guy will come to trouble, and the effect will be immediate.For example, now he knows that the old horse did this because of him, but he still has a little affection for the old horse in his heart.

"Well, that's good." Chen Ledao nodded.

"How many brothers do we have here?" After Ding Li took over here, Chen Ledao asked him to recruit some people to be responsible for the security here.

"Not many, more than [-] people, all selected according to your requirements. I usually let them serve as waiters when I have nothing to do."

Chen Ledao heard the words and observed the waiters in the lobby.He hadn't noticed it before, but after seeing it, he realized that the service staff in the ballroom were actually all men.But unlike the waiters he imagined, the waiters here don't even have uniform uniforms.

"It's okay, but their clothes need to be changed. Later, you will ask someone to order some suits, vests and white shirts, two sets for each person. All the service staff of Yeweiyang will wear this in the future. We are serious businessmen, don't mess with those things Things." Chen Ledao thought for a while, and directly brought out the clothes he remembered the waiters wearing.

"Well~, give each of them a dogleg knife and a leather case, and let them tie it on my thigh. You can find someone to design this specifically." After pondering for a while, Chen Ledao added another sentence.

"."

Ding Li stared blankly at Chen Ledao, didn't he mean a serious businessman?Why do you need a knife again?
Ding Li didn't know if it was due to his lack of knowledge. Do waiters in high-end dance halls have to carry a knife with them?Also, what kind of knife is a dogleg knife?

Ding Li's head was full of question marks, he didn't know what a dogleg knife was, so he could only associate it with the name.Does it mean that the people with knives are dog legs?

Even if he is not well-educated, he still feels that this seems a bit insulting, so he looked at Chen Ledao.I thought that big brother probably didn't mean that.

Chen Ledao didn't feel anything was wrong.Although it is indeed a bit scary to have a dog-leg knife on the service staff, isn't this tailored to local conditions?

Shanghai Beach is so chaotic, he has to give the guests who come here an unprecedented sense of security, otherwise how can he compete with his peers.

Suits and vests represent civilization and elegance, which shows that they are serious businessmen.Equipped with a Nepalese army knife, this is to better protect customers who come to Yeweiyang for consumption.Everything is for the sake of customers.

"Well, that's it for now, go get busy."

After getting a general understanding of Xiaye Weiyang's situation and giving some guidance, Chen Ledao felt that it was almost done.

He only regards Ye Weiyang as an experimental existence now, it doesn't matter whether he makes money or not, he first explores his experience and experiments with some of his ideas.His real goal is to set up a ballroom like Paramount.But now, he is not allowed to do so in terms of funds or status.

When she sat in front of Fang Yanyun again, she looked at Chen Ledao curiously, "Is this dance hall yours?"

"Yes," Chen Ledao nodded, "I haven't decided what to do yet, so let's open a dance hall first."

"The water in the dance hall is very deep, can you handle it?" Fang Yanyun said seriously, "The business of the dance hall is not good, and you will lose money to go in, but if it is opened well, many people will come to trouble you."

Fang Yanyun is known as the number one courtesan in Shanghai, so she is no stranger to the ballroom, and there are many bright and dark things in it that she doesn't know.

Chen Ledao smiled when he heard the words, but he was a little moved in his heart, knowing that Fang Yanyun was seriously thinking of him.

"I work in the police station, and I can't be satisfied with the position of a translator. I have to move my position sooner or later. I think that when Ye Weiyang's business is so good that people are jealous, no one will dare to stretch out their claws on my things. .”

Chen Ledao shook his wine glass, looked at the crowd in the hall wriggling with the music, and said softly.

Fang Yanyun saw Chen Ledao like this, a helpless smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.During this period of time, she had been in contact with Chen Ledao a lot, and she found that Chen Ledao was an extremely confident person.Sometimes even she doesn't know where his confidence comes from.

"It's good that you know it in your heart." Fang Yanyun said.Although she didn't know why Chen Ledao was so confident, she subconsciously chose to believe.

"What about you, what do you think? You are also a college student at Peking University, so you can't just stay at home every day, right? People will fall if they are idle for a long time. I think you'd better find something to do." Chen Ledao gave advice to Fang Yanyun with his future thinking.

Regardless of whether it is a man or a woman, if you don't have a serious job, it will always be awkward in the eyes of others.

"Aren't I drinking with you right now? This is my job." Fang Yanyun had a smile on his face, but there was a bit of desolation and self-mockery in this smile.

She's a social butterfly, isn't that what her job is to drink with people?
Fang Yanyun's words left Chen Ledao at a loss for words.But he didn't have the urge to persuade Fang Yanyun to change careers.Fang Yanyun leaned on Feng Jingyao, this business is not easy to change.And who said being a courtesan isn't a serious job!
"It's very good. You are relying on your own ability to eat. Anyone can look down on you, but you can't look down on yourself. You can support yourself. This is a kind of ability, which is many times better than those men who need women to support them." .”

Fang Yanyun couldn't help smiling after hearing this, and said to Chen Ledao: "Do you know how you are different from other men?"

Staring at Chen Ledao with charming eyes, drunkenly.

"What's the difference?" Now it was Chen Ledao's turn to be surprised.

"It's when you say things like that that it makes me feel like you're genuine. You're different from other men. I've had other men say that to me before, but I know they just want to sleep with me. "Fang Yanyun's face was flushed, full of drunkenness, and there seemed to be a seductive light in his eyes when he spoke.

Chen Ledao didn't know how many glasses of wine this sister had drunk before he came over, so that she, a cultured and cultivated woman from the Republic of China, could speak such tiger-wolf language.

He didn't dare to let Fang Yanyun continue to drink, Fang Yanyun's current appearance was enough to seduce people to commit crimes.Really let her drink it again, Chen Ledao is not sure that he can hold back and not make mistakes when he sends her back later.

"It seems that this sister is in a bad mood these days. This is the opportunity I asked her out to come here to drink away her worries." Chen Ledao was a little helpless.

Originally, he wanted to talk to Fang Yanyun about work, and see if he could ask this sister to help him manage the dance hall in the future, but seeing the current situation, this matter can't be discussed.

"Okay, stop drinking, eat something, don't drink up your stomach." Chen Ledao waved to a waiter not far away, asking him to bring some food over.

"Why is it that the hidden instinct of these girls is to drink! This is because they have been oppressed for thousands of years." Looking at Fang Yanyun who was holding the wine bottle and did not let go, Chen Ledao was very helpless.

Sure enough, as long as he was drunk, he was the same no matter if he was a goddess or a rough guy.

　There is also Paramount in the TV series of Shanghai Beach, but the background of Shanghai Beach is the late 20s. At that time, Paramount hadn’t appeared yet. Paramount only appeared in 1932~1933, so I made some changes.

　　After the establishment of Paramount, Young Marshal was a frequent visitor there, and the Chaplin couple also visited when they came to China.The customers who can enter it are either rich or expensive.
