Chapter 28
Hasn’t this Mr. Cao long since finished accepting closed disciples? What, did he leave this door open all this time?
The car entered the French Concession through the Baxian Bridge.
Cheng Mo drove the car himself, this old-fashioned automobile, the gears were dialed by hand, and the driving feeling was not quite the same as that of the cars of the latter days.
But the strength is still not small, just too much fuel consumption.
Mr. Cao lived in Changle Road 94, that is the Shanghai Bund many celebrities, celebrities gathered, what big lawyers, big businessmen like to set up property in this road.
This is a quiet place in the middle of the bustle, and is also one of the best areas for security in the French Concession.
Car driving in the wide Xiafei Road, both sides of the high-rise buildings, neon signs can be seen everywhere, and Zhabei is a completely different world.
The Chinese Concession and the Chinese Concession are two different worlds: one is a drunken, paper-drunk world, and the other is a world of deep water and suffering.
There were many people on the street, but it was not crowded. Although this was the French Concession, at a glance, it was still mostly yellow-skinned, black-eyed Chinese.
Most of these people are head down, footsteps in a hurry, the kind of leisurely stroll on the road, drinking coffee is only a very small number of people.
Can not see the beautiful cheongsam and moving curves, the latter day of the scene in the movie and television that is a lie, a majority of people do not have enough to eat in the era, and how many people have the leisure and leisure to dress up their own, that is only a small handful of so-called upper class people’s rights, right.
Cheng Mo glanced at his sister who was sitting in the back of the car, if she hadn’t been spotted by Yang Hu, she would probably be at the bottom of the social ladder, and the fate of her own original body couldn’t be changed.
With this point, he really can not afford to hate Yang Hu this cheap brother-in-law.
Tick ……
A few Annan inspectors are beating a ragged beggar, the war between China and Japan, a large number of refugees flooded into the Concession, but also changed the environment of the Concession, the security and the environment has also become dirty, beggars increased in large quantities, bringing all kinds of public order cases are also endless.
No wonder the Bureau of Public Works and the Bureau of Public Administration inspectorates are recruiting a large number of manpower, this complex situation, they also encountered for the first time.
Cheng Mo just took a look and passed on, there were too many of these things, he could reach out and take care of it once, but could he do it every time?
Only by changing this country and establishing a new system can changes be made completely.
Human dignity is fought out.
“Xiao Mo, when you see Mr. Cao Da in a while, be polite and courteous, don’t be too reckless.” Cheng Hua barked out another admonition.
“Don’t worry, sis, in a while, if you tell me to go east, I’ll never dare to go west, if you tell me to tease the dog, I’ll never shoo the chicken!”
“Where did you learn to be so poor?” Cheng Hua let out a “pfft” laugh.
“I’ve been to war before, and I’m black when I’m near the ink.” Cheng Mo was shocked and quickly defended himself, fortunately, he hadn’t been in contact with Cheng Hua for three months, in this way, his sudden change of character wasn’t so sudden, after all, those who had gone to war, that would indeed become different.
“What your brother-in-law told you, what have you considered?”
“Brother-in-law, which brother-in-law?”
“You kid looking for a fight not?” Cheng Hua reached over and was about to greet Cheng Mo on the back of his head, but of course that was just an action, the real fight was not yet.
“Sister, it’s not that I don’t know what’s good for me, you also know, although I came back from studying in Japan, but I studied political economy, I don’t even understand it myself, but also go to teach others, that’s not misleading the children of others?” Cheng Mo argued, “It would be more like it if I were a student.”
“Fine, then I’ll tell Yu Nong to enroll you in the class?” Cheng Hua sneered, her brother was brought up by her, she still didn’t understand.
“Don’t, it’s not easy for us siblings to reunite, I don’t want to be separated.” Cheng Mo was busy saying.
“Excuses, haven’t you always wanted to create a career on your own and serve the country?” Cheng Hua asked with his arms wrapped around his chest.
“In fact, sis don’t you think staying in Shanghai is more rewarding?”
“You really want to stay?”
“I studied in Japan, I know the Japanese too well, they are an island country with constant earthquakes, lack of resources, and a kind of paranoid madness towards the mainland, so this war is not destined to end anytime soon, especially those radical soldiers will definitely kidnap the whole of Japan, and when that happens, the whole of Japan will be dragged in, and don’t believe me, after this Japanese army occupies Shanghai, they will have further movements.” Cheng Mo knew that he couldn’t say too much, that would be taken as a godly man.
The Japanese army would land in Jinshanwei next, he wanted to warn, but he couldn’t explain the source of the intelligence, even if it was a prediction, what was the basis?
He could not answer, and besides, it might even be taken as nonsense crazy talk, which would not reach the ears of the top brass at all.
Then said the same as saying nothing.
With the current chaos in the Nanking Command, I’m afraid that no one will take his words seriously as a small person who is even more humble than an ant.
“The war won’t end, it will be dragged into a protracted quagmire, in Shanghai, as long as the concession exists, we will have room to maneuver, this will be an invisible battlefield, and the intensity of the killing will be no less than that of the frontline battlefield.”
“XiaoMo, I think, with this understanding of yours, it’s all the more reason for you to go to the special training class and teach the trainees.” Cheng Hua is not that traditional woman who is not familiar with current affairs anymore, her vision is much broader than ordinary people, otherwise she would not have been selected by Dai Yunong as her “soul mate”.
“Sis, we’re here.” Seeing the road sign of Changle Road, Cheng Mo slowly stepped on the brakes, and the conversation automatically stopped.
Under the shade of the sycamore trees, a unique romantic atmosphere belonging to the French came to the surface.
The buildings along the street are all about three-story buildings, the yard is not small, gothic style fusion of sea style, creating an independent bright scenery line.
“Sister, a villa here is quite expensive, right?”
“That’s right, selling all your flesh wouldn’t even be enough.” Cheng Hua got out of the car holding Cheng Mo’s arm, and those who didn’t know thought they were a loving couple.
“It would be worth it if I could sell this body of meat to buy a villa here for my sister.” Cheng Mo hemmed and hawed.
Door number 94 was at the door.
Cheng Mo reached out and rang the doorbell.
Soon, an old man wearing a gray robe came over, looking at the attire, it should be a housekeeper or something like that, seeing Cheng Hua, he politely addressed a “Miss Cheng”, then opened the door to welcome people in.
This yard is very large, there must be one or two thousand square meters, there is a lawn in the yard, there is also a small fountain, against the left position to repair a garage, three-story main building plus a building, highlighting the owner’s financial strength.
The invitation has already been sent, and the time is also an appointment.
Cheng Mo siblings were welcomed into the main building’s living room, the living room decoration is naturally quite luxurious, Persian carpets, crystal chandeliers, marble floors, leather sofas, put into the latter part of the world that is not out of date at all.
Not long after, a young woman assisted an old man with a civilized stick to come down from the upper floor, traditional silk lab coat, inside is a grey robe, feet wearing a pair of black cloth shoes.
Elderly people who were old liked to wear cloth shoes, they had already reached the realm of doing as they pleased, not to mention that cloth shoes were the most nourishing for the feet.
“Mr. Cao Da.” Cheng Hua slightly bent over, bowed and saluted, “This and is the one I mentioned to you, my younger brother Cheng Mo.”
Cao Youshan raised his eyelids, glanced at Cheng Mo, and lifted his hand with an expressionless face, “Sit.”
“Thank you, Mr. Cao.” The siblings sat down in front of Cao Youshan, slightly separated by some distance, looking a bit formal.
“According to reason, I stopped accepting disciples a long time ago, but this time, for the sake of old brother Yang Hu, I’ll make an exception, just this once.” Cao You Shan said, his generation is too high, if he accepts a disciple, he will be in the same generation as Huang Jin Rong (even though he claims to be a big character generation, in fact, he is an empty son, but people are strong, all the Shanghai’s youth gangs still recognize it, but it is classified as a Tong character generation), this will make a lot of people dissatisfied.
But this time the introducer is the Shanghai Police Command Commander Yang Hu, worship people or his brother-in-law, this face can not not give.
Not to mention the fact that this little woman in front of me is not a small energy, through the Nanjing it.
“Young man, I heard that you studied in Japan, what did you study?” Cao Youshan inquired Cheng Mo a sound.
“Political economy.”
“Yo, what a great learning.” Cao You Shan was a bit surprised, his old eyes opened wide, “Then you say, how is our Chinese economy?”
“Dad, this topic is also too big, how do you let people answer?” Cheng Mo has not yet opened his mouth, but the young woman on the side opened her mouth first, actually Cao Youshan’s daughter.
This Cao Youshan is not young, right? How come his daughter is only this old? Worthy of being the oldest Yizhuang.
“Then let’s talk about Shanghai’s economy, it’s always not too big, right?” Cao You Shan helplessly favored a cry.
“Shanghai is the wind vane of China’s economy, but also the lifeblood of the Republic of China’s economy, but also the money bag of the Nanjing National Government ……” Cheng Mo generalized, anyway, this kind of talk is universally applicable.
But falling in Cao Youshan’s ears, it is different, a gangster big old man, even if he studies hard and integrates into the upper class society, but the bottom color is still the same.
“This is my youngest daughter, Cao Lina, she is studying journalism, you should have a common language.” Cao Youshan introduced with a smile.
Sister, what’s the situation here?
Cheng Mo clearly felt a hint of something wrong, his eyes glancing at Cheng Hua inquiringly.
Cheng Hua completely ignored it and sipped her tea with her head down as if she didn’t see it.
Cheng Mo even more stupid also see, worship old man is a front, this is a matchmaking bureau.
