Spy War 1929

Chapter 9 Shikumen

The Feng family, Feng Chengcheng and Feng Jingyao sat together.Feng Chengcheng's safe return is the greatest joy of the Feng family.Let Feng Jingyao's anger dissipate for the time being, and restore the calm and drizzle state, and the thick dark clouds hanging over Feng's mansion also dispersed.Uncle Xiang stood aside with a smile on his face. He had no children in his life, and he also treated Feng Chengcheng as a daughter in his heart.

Up to now, he has no more pursuits. He has devoted his whole life to the Feng family, and he has deep feelings for this place. Feng Chengcheng, the only heir of the Feng family, is safe and sound, and he is also happy.

On Feng Jingyao's side, with his closest daughter, this Shanghai tycoon was not as serious as usual. Although his face was still serious, he always smiled accidentally.If people outside see it, it means that the human design has collapsed.

Feng Chengcheng told Feng Jingyao about the experience of coming back this way, and he said it vividly. He mainly talked about the process of Chen Ledao helping her get her wallet back in Nanjing and saving her at the station. .Facing his father, Feng Chengcheng showed the unique charm of a daughter, and Feng Jingyao was very pleased with it.

Feng Chengcheng was the last soft spot in his heart, and also the only weakness.Otherwise it would not be happening today.

Jing Jing listened to Feng Chengcheng's narration, lying on the wrinkle and smiling lightly, her eyebrows that should have been sharp were slightly bent downwards, eliminating the intimidating edge.Feng Jingyao looked at his daughter quietly, just like how they got along when she was a child.

At this moment, the warm sunlight filled the room, bringing warmth to the room.

"Dad, are you listening?" Seeing that Feng Jingyao had been silent, Feng Chengcheng stepped forward, grabbed his arm and pushed it coquettishly twice.

"I'm listening, I'm listening, you said that the kid gave up his seat to a pregnant woman on the ship, then asked you for the money back, and gave his own money to that man, rescued you at the station, and protected you all the way." Feng Jingyao repeated it with a smile, expressing that he was listening carefully.

"Yes, he has helped your daughter so much, shouldn't we thank him well?" Smart girls have to learn to climb up the pole.In front of Feng Jingyao, Feng Chengcheng was like a little girl, acting like a baby with her father, so cute that no one could refuse.No matter who told Mr. Feng to be one-on-one in Shanghai, he just liked this kind of feeling between father and daughter.

"Hehe, I should thank him well. He saved my Feng Jingyao's daughter. If I don't thank him well, others will say that our Feng family doesn't understand etiquette." Feng Jingyao said with a smile. It is always difficult for a man to refuse a woman. What's more, this is his little padded jacket in front of him.

"Well, I asked Uncle Xiang to pay you a sum of money. Didn't you say that he wants to do business in Shanghai? How about using this as a fund for him?" Feng Jingyao looked at his daughter and asked her opinion.Don't owe favors to things that can be solved with money.If he can repay Chen Ledao's favor and make his daughter happy with a sum of money, then he is quite willing.

"Dad, how can this be done? He saved me. We have to invite him to our house anyway. Let's treat him to a meal in person." Feng Chengcheng disagreed.She is Bai Fumei, not silly Baitian.And it's not what she wants.

"Hehe, it makes sense to say so, then it's up to you, invite him to have a meal at home another day, Dad, I will personally thank him for saving my precious daughter." In front of Feng Chengcheng, Feng Jingyao showed all his gentle side.This is the envy of all Shanghai women.

"Hey, thank you Dad." Feng Chengcheng happily wrapped his arms around Dad's neck from behind, leaning his head on his shoulder.

Dad's shoulders are indeed the most reliable place for a daughter.

Feng Chengcheng bounced away happily, not at all like a 20-year-old college student in the Republic of China.Not a while after she left, Uncle Xiang came in from the outside.

"Master, Hengsan's father has been found," Uncle Xiang walked up to Feng Jingyao and said softly.Lao Feng leaned against the back of the chair and closed his eyes, wondering if he was dozing off and thinking, or resting.

Hearing Uncle Xiang's words, Lao Feng opened his eyes.This matter is what he is more concerned about, and he is more curious, who exactly did Heng San eat so that he dared to tear himself apart with him.

"Where's Heng San?" The smile on his face disappeared, Feng Jingyao's expression became normal, and he asked in a deep voice.

Uncle Xiang has followed Feng Jingyao for many years, and absolutely no one can say that he knows Feng Jingyao better than him.Hearing Lao Feng's tone without emotion, he immediately knew what Feng Jingyao wanted to do.

"Hengsan is hiding at home, and his confidantes are all around. If we want to take him down, we may have to make a lot of noise." Uncle Xiang said in a low voice, or felt that it was not enough, and then added One sentence, "My lord, you are going to compete for Hua Dong recently. If something big happens during this period of time, you may give someone a handle!"

"Director Hua..." Feng Jingyao murmured softly, his face darkened, and he weighed the pros and cons in his heart.The more he thought about it, the more unhappy he became. He hated the feeling that this kind of thing was out of his control.

What Uncle Xiang said about Director Hua touched his heart.

"Hehe, if he dares to attack Cheng Cheng, he is still afraid. Let him live for a few days first.

Someone called me this morning to intercede with Hengsan, and actually said that it was a misunderstanding, that Hengsan's subordinates were ignorant and admitted the wrong person. "

"Hehe, you said this is ridiculous, they think I'm old so they can fool me!" Feng Jingyao said, with a smile and anger on his face.There was a cold look in his eyes.

"I held a [-]th birthday banquet. I wanted to let Shanghai Beach be quiet for a few days, but he refused to let others. They are bullying me to be old!" Smile, but make people who see it laugh.

"Ah Xiang, do you think Shanghai Beach is so peaceful that people forget that there is still my Feng Chamber of Commerce, and I, Feng Jingyao, exist." Feng Jingyao said softly, both asking and talking to himself .

"How could it be? It's just that you don't like to show off and keep a low profile, so that some young people overestimate yourself." Uncle Xiang smiled lightly, and he was quite speechless about the minds of those troublemakers.Picking this time to fight against Lao Feng, I don't know whether to call them smart or call him stupid.

If it's not good to move, you have to hit the young lady's idea. This is simply the old birthday star eating arsenic and getting impatient.

Feng Jingyao shook his head and said nothing.He didn't want to hear anything at first, he just sighed.

"Hengsan let him live a few more days, let him wear mourning for his father, at such an old age, it's too unreasonable for him to fall into the river and drown."

When Uncle Xiang heard this, his eyes flickered, "Yes, Ah Xiang understands."

Having said so much, I felt a little thirsty, so Feng Jingyao took a sip of tea from the teacup, moistened his mouth before continuing.

"Where's that Chen Ledao who saved Miss, did you find anything?"

"Oh, that man is currently staying at Fengxiang Hotel, and his subordinates said that he is looking for a house to live in, and he has no contact with anyone."

"Well, keep checking. Cheng Cheng said that he came back from France and disembarked in Tianjin. Send someone to Tianjin. I want to know whether his contact with Cheng Cheng was accidental or premeditated." Feng Jingyao said lightly.

Although he has a prominent position in Shanghai Bund, there are many people staring at his position. It is related to his daughter, so he should be cautious.

Feng Jingyao has been in Shanghai for decades, he has risen and fallen, and finally laid down this piece of foundation. Back then, when good times were coming, his wife left.

Feng Chengcheng, as his and her only child, is the real apple of the eye of the Feng family and the one he cares most about.

Now that Feng Jingyao is tired of fighting and killing, what he has to do now is to lead Feng's Chamber of Commerce from black to white, so that he can become the Hua Dong of the Industrial Board of Directors and a serious businessman.

If not, Hengsan would not be hiding at home now, but lying dead on the street.He really didn't notice Hengsan's personality.

Put aside the Feng family for the time being, on the other side, Fengxiang Hotel, the scale of this hotel is not bad, it can be rated as medium, Chen Ledao rested here for a night, and his whole body was exhausted.

After all, the hotel is not a place to live for a long time. After asking the people nearby where he can rent a house, he has a goal.

Hire a rickshaw, and after saying a place name, the driver seems to be stepping on a hot wheel, running forward slowly, and soon walking through the streets and alleys, at first Chen Ledao was still in the mood to remember the way, I gave up later.

The rickshaw drivers in Shanghai are comparable to the future taxi drivers in Chongqing, and they all have a map in their minds.There is nothing they can't find in all kinds of corners.

This was Chen Ledao's first time riding a rickshaw, and it didn't feel as good as he had imagined, it was a bit bumpy, and the driver pulled the car around, and he felt like a road idiot for the first time.

"Sir, here we are."

Houses made of mixed red bricks and blue bricks appeared in front of Chen Ledao. Each building was almost three stories high, which was nothing new to him who was used to high-rise buildings.

It's just that this row after row is neat and compact, which is still rare.At least he hadn't seen it much before.

The main body of the building is in French style, and some Chinese elements can occasionally be seen from it, such as the archway in front of him at the moment.It is the standard Chinese style, in line with the aesthetics of Chinese people.

After carefully looking at it, and satisfying my curiosity, I turned around and gave the driver money, and then walked into the alley, that is, the alley.

The houses here have a unified name, Shikumen, and Shikumen is generally enclosed like a courtyard.But here is the new Shikumen, which is different from the old Shikumen.

The door of the old-fashioned Shikumen is made of a circle of stone hoops. It was originally called Shikumen, but later it became Shikumen when it was called.The door head here is made of clear water bricks, and the decoration of the lintel is more complicated, mostly triangular, semicircular and other floral decorations.There is also a wall lamp on the left and right sides of the door.Much more aesthetically pleasing than the old fashioned.

At first glance, it looks neat and tidy.If future generations can own a house here, they will not have to worry about eating and drinking for the rest of their lives.

This new style of Shikumen lanes was quite popular with rich people in the past few years. As long as they have money, most of them would buy a house in these lanes. Already out of favor.

This is good news for Chen Ledao, if he is not popular, the rent will be lower.

Looking up at the house number, Chen Ledao looked for them one by one, and finally found his target.

The door was closed, Chen Ledao looked at it without hesitation, and stepped forward to knock on the door.

"Who is here?" A man's thick voice came from inside.

The door opened, and after seeing the people inside, Chen Ledao was a little dumbfounded, it was a little different from what he thought.

Although this house is not popular with rich people nowadays, it is not affordable for ordinary people.

The man who opened the door for him looked honest, about forty years old, dressed in ordinary clothes, although not shabby, but not like the clothes that people living in this place should have.

Suppressing the surprise in his heart, Chen Ledao asked: "Uncle, I heard that there is a house for rent here, am I right?"

When the middle-aged man heard this, his doubts dissipated, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face, "I didn't make a mistake, I didn't make a mistake, we have a house to rent out."

To make way, Chen Ledao walked in and looked around. It was very clean. There should be people living on the first floor, but he didn't see anyone else.

"Uncle, are you alone at home?"

"Hey, our family of three lives here. The one in my family hasn't come back yet, and the younger one is still in school."

The uncle was very enthusiastic and poured Chen Ledao a glass of water.

"Sir, come, drink some water,"

"Thank you," Chen Ledao took the teacup with a smile.

"Uncle, which room do you want to rent out, show me the room first." Chen Ledao went straight to the point.

From coming in to now, he is quite satisfied with this place. The family living here is very particular, and everything is cleaned very cleanly, without any mess.

"Okay, it's upstairs, I'll show you around,"

It was the second floor of the house for rent. Chen Ledao went up to see it. It was clean and spacious with good lighting, which met his requirements.

In addition, he also learned a lot of news. This uncle is called Zhang Youquan, and this house does not belong to him.Uncle Zhang is a car driver, and this house belonged to his last boss.

The boss took his whole family abroad, saying that he wanted to earn money from foreigners, but he did not sell the house.Uncle Zhang was the boss's personal driver before, and the boss saw that he was reliable and dependable.Before leaving, he entrusted the house to Uncle Zhang, and let Uncle Zhang live there for free, as long as he took good care of the house.

The boss is a kind person, he can rent out this house, or find a part-time worker to clean it every day.But he didn't do that. Instead, he lived with Uncle Zhang's family for free, taking care of Uncle Zhang's family.

Uncle Zhang's family has always lived on the first floor, the second floor is empty, and the third floor is filled with things left by the boss.Uncle Zhang thought it would be too wasteful to have the second floor empty, so he thought about renting it out to him.

"Mr. Chen, this house is vacant and it is vacant. If you really want to rent that ten oceans per month." When he said this, Uncle Zhang was quite embarrassed, asking an honest man who can only drive to do this. , It was really embarrassing for him.

In fact, Uncle Zhang's rent is not high, it can even be said to be very low. For a house like this, even if he asks for fifteen oceans, it is not high.

"Okay, no problem, I'll rent it." Chen Ledao agreed without thinking.The same house, at this price, cannot be found anywhere else in Shanghai.

"However, Mr. Chen, you must keep the house clean and not destroy the original layout of the house. The house will be returned to the boss in the future." Seeing Chen Ledao's promise, Uncle Zhang quickly added, this is why the rent low reason.

They don't rent out the house to make money, they just don't want the house to be wasted.
