Chapter 682: The Great Chaos in Huxi
West Shanghai, auspicious gambling file.
"Old Xier, how are you lucky today?" A regular customer from the gambling stage greeted him naturally when he met, but listening to the sound, he was very false.
When the gambling period is opened, the money earned by the gambler is the money of the gambler, not to mention that nine out of ten gambling will be lost. How many people can really win money from the casino can easily be taken away?
There are many people who are involved in the word "gambling" and the family is destroyed.
Of course, compared to "big smoke", the harm of gambling is slightly lighter, but those who smoke big smoke are also completely gamblers.
The gambler who won the money naturally wanted to go to the tobacco restaurant to take a sip of cigarettes, and wanted to be a god. After spending the money, he went to the casino and borrowed usury, and profited, and eventually lost all his money.
In western Shanghai, this chaotic place, gambling stalls, tobacco shops, and there are also pawn shops, and hundreds of stores on the street.
Compared with the French Concession, Yanzike dares not open its doors for business. There is no need to cover up here, just like a legal and open transaction.
"It's okay, I'm lucky today and I won a lot, hehe." The gambler who called Lao Xier grinned, revealed two rows of big yellow teeth, and replied with some pride.
"So, will you be happy to go to Cuihongyuan tonight?"
"Hehe, let's go..."
"This old Xier is lucky today, but she actually won money. By the way, where does this kid get the capital?" the man murmured in a low voice.
"A Sheng, what did you say? Old Xier won the money?" You said that the speaker was unintentional, and the listener was intentional. A Sheng's words made Brother Shui, who was watching the gambling market, heard it, and couldn't help but feel suspicious, and walked over and asked.
"I don't know, why did this kid win money today?" A Sheng said, "I heard that he even paid back the gambling account from the past."
"Oh, where did he get the money?" Brother Shui asked.
"I don't know, I haven't seen him for several days anyway."
"Go and check what this old Xier has done in the past two days and where did the money come from?" Brother Shui ordered his subordinates.
After a while, a message came back. Lao Xier helped people bring goods into the French Concession. Needless to say, what this product was, I understood it as soon as I heard it.
Old Xier had just lie down and took a few sips when Brother Shui led someone to pull him out.
Without any means, Old Xier said everything he knew.
Ji Yunqing recruited a group of people to secretly distribute goods to Yan Zike in the French Concession, and many of these Yan Zike were places under Zhang Xiaolin.
Brother Shui happened to be under Zhang Xiaolin's disciple, and Zhang Xiaolin is his master.
Ji Yunqing secretly dug Zhang Xiaolin's corner!
That's not bad.
When asked who asked Lao Xier to bring the goods, there were those people. Brother Shui rushed over with the people from the auspicious gambling bureau and smashed a tobacco restaurant under Ji Yunqing's name!
With this disruption, the conflict between Ji Yunqing and Zhang Xiaolin completely intensified!
A big fight was staged on the ground in western Shanghai. Ji Yunqing's strength in western Shanghai was stronger than Zhang Xiaolin, but Zhang Xiaolin was originally the kind of fighter in the Qing Gang, and the people under his command were all cruel. Although there were few people, he would not lose the advantage in fighting.
Moreover, there is no business in the French Concession, and once the door is closed, I will go to the West Shanghai Gang market.
West Shanghai, especially in areas where road construction crossed the border, suddenly became a mess.
Not only at night, but also during the day, there are constant conflicts.
The police officers of the Ministry of Industry and Technology Bureau also intervened at first, but later, as long as these people did not fight on the road sections under their jurisdiction and did not hurt the innocent, they basically ignored them.
The public security in western Shanghai suddenly became worse, and various forces began to take advantage of the situation. Major medical clinics and hospitals were full, and even the business of pharmacies was several% better than usual.
In a flash, three days passed.
The battle caused by Lu Xiyan himself became more and more intense in the western Shanghai area, while the French Concession was extremely calm. Huang Jinrong had already ordered the suspension of the batch of goods he bought from Lu Jinshi.
Seeing that Zhang Xiaolin was in a state of chaos in western Shanghai, he secretly shipped the goods again. At this time, if he didn't hurry up and grab the territory, that would be too stupid.
Wu Jinyun's parents and Yan Chaoxu's father came to Shanghai together. Lu Xiyan did not come forward, and it was difficult for Meng Fanxing to come forward. He asked Cheng Cheng and Yan Lei to pick up the people together.
Arranged to stay in the Wanguo Hotel.
In the evening, Lu Xiyan welcomed Wu Jinyun's parents, Wu Xian and his wife, and Yan Chaoxu's father Yan Gang at the Wanguo Hotel. Of course, he attended the evening with Meng Fanxing, accompanied by Wu Jinyun's three senior brothers, as well as Wu Jinyun's nominal fiancé, Yan Chaoxu.
I have heard of the name of a person many times, but this is the first time I have met.
The Wu family and the Yan family also knew that the newspapers were all about tabloid reporters' curiosity and fabrication. Although Wu Jinyun's teacher was young, she had already married a wife, and her youthful and beautiful appearance was no less than her.
What's more, Lu Xiyan and Meng Fanxing's reputation for loving love is well-known, and they even bothered to arrange for their daughter to study abroad. The Wu Xian and his wife were naturally grateful and felt deeply guilty. They were random suspicious and wronged the good man.
Besides, if it really means that, why do people try hard to send people out? Then will they be spared?
Yan Chaoxu's father Yan Gang looked very much like a rich man in the countryside. He had a round face and a round figure. He was in his fifties and was quite healthy. He was panting when walking and was afraid of heat and sweating. If it weren't for his son's lifelong event, he wouldn't want to run far to the big stove in Shanghai.
In contrast, Wu Jinyun's father Wu Xian had a bit of an old pedantic meaning. He had three inches of long beards under his jaw, a thin face, and looked unfathomable. Because he was also a doctor, he was also kind to Lu Xiyan. After learning that Lu Xiyan did not look down on traditional Chinese medicine, he couldn't help but get closer to him in his words.
There are more topics.
Lu Xiyan has observed Yan Chaoxu a lot. This guy is three years younger than him, thinner, and has a hint of arrogance in his eyes, as if those who have studied abroad have a sense of superiority.
This situation exists in many people who have returned from abroad. They think that after drinking a little foreign ink, they look down on many people in China.
However, a person with outstanding talent since childhood does have something to be proud of.
Yan Chaoxu works at the East Asia Tongwen Academy in Shanghai and works as an art teacher.
East Asia Tongwen Academy.
Lu Xiyan and Meng Fanxing both felt a little "stricken". This is an institution of higher education where the Japanese trained "pro-Japanese" traitor elites in Shanghai. Many of the courses in the same arts college are related to the so-called "Japanese-Chinese" friendly brainwashing content.
Some students who are not well-informed in the world are easily deceived, then brainwashed, and eventually become accomplices of the invaders, or even never repent.
Of course, it cannot be said that the East Asian Tongwen Academy trained all traitors and traitors, and some students were clear-headed, but they were more aware of the Japanese's conspiracy and ambitions.
Coincidentally, in the East Asian Tongwen Academy in Shanghai, there was a comrade himself working on the list given by Lao Mao. If you want to investigate Yan Chaoxu, you can enable it.
This is a private matter. Lu Xiyan thought about it and still decided. He could not abolish the public because of his own. These comrades who invaded the enemy must only play a role at critical moments.
Yan Chaoxu had just returned to China and was not a special person. It should not be difficult to find out about his situation in the East Asian Tongwen Academy.
I'm still rushing to do this.
Because everyone was very happy with this welcome banquet.
The only thing that makes everyone uncomfortable is that Yan Chaoxu is unwilling to go to the United States with Wu Jinyun after getting engaged. This actually doesn't matter to Wu Jinyun. Yan Chaoxu doesn't go, she is just right.
But Mr. Yan Gang is anxious. If you don’t go to the United States, after these three years, Wu Jinyun will stay in the United States and will not come back. Is your wife still your wife?
Why is this kid stupid?
Yan Gang immediately beat his son at the dinner table and went to the United States to see the market. He could still draw when he went to the United States. If he wanted to find a way, he could continue to study in the higher art institutions in the United States, and cultivate the relationship between husband and wife. How good is it to be harmonious in the future?
Of course, Yan Gang was unwilling to study in his heart as Wu Jinyun, the prospective daughter-in-law, to study in the United States. He was a juren from the Qing Dynasty and had some thoughts that "a woman without talent is virtue."
However, this is a new society. Even if you feel uncomfortable, you have to follow the trend and make changes. Otherwise, what should you do?
If you really want to escape marriage, will the Yan family still have such a face?
Although this matter is different from what he thought in his heart, he finally has the best of both worlds and has decided on the marriage. According to traditional Chinese customs, this matter is a foregone conclusion.
Yan Chaoxu also told his reasons. He had just returned and the job was introduced by his teacher Mr. Hatoyama. If he quit now, he would not be able to explain it to the teacher.
So Yan Chaoxu proposed that he would either ask Wu Jinyun to wait for him for half a year, wait for him to handle the matter in Shanghai and go to the United States with him, or ask Wu Jinyun to go to the United States first, and after half a year, he would go to the United States to meet her again.
How is this possible when Yan Chaoxu handles the matter and leaves together? Lu Xiyan has already contacted him in the United States. Now he says he won’t go for the time being, and it is very serious to break the trust.
Of course, Wu Jinyun chose to go first, so she didn't have to go to the United States with Yan Chaoxu.
This matter was decided.
Originally, Yan Gang insisted on getting engaged and returning to his hometown Wuxi, but Wu Jinyun and Yan Chaoxu did not agree to returning to Wuxi because it was too time-consuming. This was an engagement, not a marriage, so there was no need to do it too grandly.
Moreover, if you get engaged in Shanghai and publish another newspaper, it will be much more respectful than if you are in your hometown of Wuxi.
In my hometown, it’s just a matter of opening a flowing mat and treating guests to dinner.
The engagement date was also set, one week later, at the New World Hotel.
After dinner, Wu Jinyun stayed at the Wanguo Hotel to accompany his parents. However, Yan Chaoxu just said a few simple words to Wu Jinyun, and then told his old father Yan Gang that the college had something to do and he would go back to the college first.
"Xiyan, do you find it strange?" Meng Fanxing asked Lu Xiyan after getting in the car.
"Yan Chaoxu seemed too cold to Jin Yun, right?" Lu Xiyan nodded. He didn't notice this at the table.
However, this is not too strange. After all, the two were engaged not in love. It can be said that two strangers gathered together. It is possible that Yan Chaoxu was not interested in a girl like Wu Jinyun.
"Yes, if you don't want to, why do you have to force yourself to get together?" Meng Fanxing said.
"Maybe they are thin-skinned and dare not be too enthusiastic. Besides, there are outsiders present. After they have dated privately, they will be much better. You, don't worry too much," Lu Xiyan persuaded.
"Well, what you said makes some sense, but I always feel uneasy." Meng Fanxing said.
"If you feel uneasy, you know where Yan Chaoxu works anyway. Find someone to investigate and see how Yan Chaoxu is doing in daily life." Lu Xiyan said.
