Du Yuesheng is not only beautiful, but also very fast.

In just three days, Zhang Damin was arrested by the patrol house of the French Concession in Shanghai and then handed over to the Shanghai District Court for trial on charges of stealing property and selling tobacco and soil.

In the early days of the Nationalist Government in Nanjing, it did not completely ban the smoking and trafficking of opium, but regarded it as an important source of tax revenue. There are three provisions: first, the import of foreign opium is prohibited, and opium from the mainland must be purchased by a company with a legal license, and retail dealers must also pay stamp duty; Second, opium smokers must also have a license, otherwise they will be illegal to smoke big cigarettes, and the taxes of smokers are heavier than ordinary people; Third, the government should set up smoking cessation centers and severely punish people to quit smoking (this is nonsense).

That is to say, the Sanxin Company, co-founded by Du Yuesheng, Huang Jinrong, and Zhang Xiaolin, monopolized the opium business in Shanghai, which was completely formal and legal from a legal point of view, but it was subject to heavy taxes.

Due to the great social opposition, the "opium sale" policy was discontinued in the summer of 1928. Sanxin's business has also changed from open and legal to underground illegal, and the actual situation has not changed.

What's even funnier is that Du Yuesheng is also one of the three standing committee members of the Shanghai Anti-Smoking Committee.

The appointment of Shanghai's largest opium trade leader as a member of the Standing Committee of the Shanghai Anti-Smoking Committee is quite a bit of black humor.

Now Sanxin Company is ready to "end" the illegal business and set foot in the field of "medicine", specializing in the production of morphine and other "drugs". Yang Hu, the former commander of the Shanghai garrison and now the head of the Shanghai Security Department, was responsible for protecting the business of the Sanxin Company, which was to be handed over to the central finance minister in return ($3 million a year in 1932).

Note that the money was handed over to Finance Minister Song Ziwen, not to the Central Ministry of Finance, and was not taken into the government's official accounts, and was all privately divided by some people.

The annual bonus of $3 million, and that's just for the officials, the profits are simply scary to death.

In any case, Du Yuesheng, a member of the Standing Committee of the Anti-Smoking Committee, could not be justified in arresting one or two criminals who sold tobacco soil privately. As for whether there are any grievances in it, only the ghost knows, anyway, everyone got the stolen goods, and all the criminals pointed out Zhang Damin as the mastermind.

Zhang Damin was first sent to a smoking cessation center for a few days, but his siblings refused to pay for the smoking cessation, so they were thrown out of the smoking cessation center and thrown to the Shanghai Public Security Bureau to await trial.

……

Ruan Lingyu's house.

He Aying said gratefully: "Thank you, Mr. Zhou, you have helped a lot and finally arrested the Zhang Damin." ”

Zhou Hexuan smiled and said, "Auntie, don't talk nonsense. Zhang Damin was arrested by the French Concession patrol and taken over by the anti-narcotics team of the Shanghai Public Security Bureau, which has nothing to do with me at all. ”

"Yes, yes, it doesn't matter," He Aying slapped herself twice and said with a smile, "Look at my mouth, I say some foolish things." Mr. Zhou is a university scholar, where would he do such a thing? ”

Ruan Lingyu sat next to her and didn't speak, looking at Zhou Hexuan quietly, feeling both respectful and afraid. Zhang Damin, who made her anxious, was sent to prison by Zhou Hexuan in a few words, which was too terrifying in her opinion.

"Ah Ruan, you sit down with Mr. Zhou first, I should go cook and cook," He Aying winked at her daughter, and said to Zhou Hexuan, "Mr. Zhou, let's eat dinner at home, there are no delicacies from the mountains and seas, I have wronged you." ”

"It doesn't matter." Zhou Hexuan said with a smile.

After He Aying left the living room, the scene suddenly quieted down. Ruan Lingyu doesn't like to talk very much, she has a relatively boring personality, and she chooses to be obedient and silent when she is bullied.

Zhou Hexuan asked casually: "Have you been filming recently?" ”

"Well," Ruan Lingyu nodded in response, "I'm working on a short film called "Suicide Contract", which is co-produced by North China Film Company and Great China Lily Company. ”

Zhou Hexuan asked again: "The North China Company and the Greater China Company are about to merge, right?" ”

"It seems that next month there will be a merger," Ms. Ruan said, "along with the Minxin Company and the Shanghai Film and Drama Company, and when the filming of "Suicide Contract" is completed, the new company Lianhua Pictures will open." ”

Zhou Hexuan said with a smile: "When Lianhua Pictures is established, you will be promoted to a pillar." ”

"What," Ruan Lingyu said embarrassedly, "The real pillar is Jin Yan, I heard that Boss Luo spent 5,000 yuan in signing fees to poach him from the star company." ”

Jin Yan is the first actor in the history of Chinese cinema and is known as the "Emperor of Films of the Republic of China". In fact, he is not purely Chinese, but Korean, his father became a Chinese citizen after being poisoned by Japanese agents, starred in a large number of progressive films against aggression and oppression in the 30s, and was later on the wanted list of the Kuomintang for a time.

Zhou Hexuan took out the script of "The Goddess" and said to Ruan Lingyu: "You give this to Luo Mingyou, just say that I will personally be in charge of this movie and ask him to choose a suitable director." ”

"Why didn't Mr. Zhou personally hand over the script to Boss Luo?" Ruan Lingyu asked.

"I'm leaving Shanghai tomorrow," Zhou Hexuan smiled helplessly, "Luo Mingyou is a fun-loving young master, and the new company formed by the merger will open next month, but he is now in Hong Kong." said that he wanted to report the progress to the chairman, I looked at it, and I guess where I traveled again, I couldn't find anyone at all. ”

"Alright then, I'll put the script here." Ruan Lingyu carefully put it away.

After dinner, He Aying also wanted to keep Zhou Hexuan overnight, and kept glancing at her daughter. After Zhou Hexuan refused, she asked her daughter to go out to accompany Zhou Hexuan, saying that they were walking together on the night view of the beach.

Ruan Lingyu couldn't survive her mother, so she had to agree, but she came back soon after going out.

"Why didn't you go to the Zhou Mansion?" He Aying was surprised.

"Mom, Mr. Zhou is not that kind of person, you want to be crooked," Ruan Lingyu said, "He is very well-behaved with me, he doesn't do anything about me, he just treats me as a friend." ”

He Aying was speechless: "My stupid daughter! If he doesn't have any thoughts about you, it seems like he helped send Zhang Damin to prison? Let me tell you, Mr. Zhou wants money and status, and he can't turn Zhang Damin over in a few words. As long as you fall in love with him, no one will dare to bully you on the beach in the future. You listen to me, you must ask him out tomorrow, and then take the opportunity to go to the Zhou Mansion for the night, and give the relationship first. ”

Ruan Lingyu said helplessly: "Mom, Mr. Zhou will leave Shanghai tomorrow, you have this heart." ”

He Aying suddenly said depressedly: "You are really stupid, I am too lazy to talk nonsense with you!" ”

Ruan Lingyu returned to her bedroom and boredly opened the script of "The Goddess". She had read the original book before, and when she read it again now, she found that it was thousands of miles away from the script, and only one of the stories was intercepted.

The story of the script is more understandable and more emotional, and many of the plots make Ruan Lingyu empathize with her, and she has the urge to cry.

After reading the complete script, Ruan Lingyu found that tears had slid down her cheeks, and she couldn't help but think of Zhou Hexuan. can write a touching story, not only compassionate, but also talented, but this person is the one who set up a trap to throw Zhang Damin into prison, which one is the real him?

Ruan Lingyu found that she couldn't see through Zhou Hexuan, who was a man like a mystery.

The enigmatic Mr. Zhou is now on his way to Shandong, and he is going to be a political broker again, and by the way, he will get some benefits from Chang Kaishen.
