Chapter 188: Deng6 Shanghai (II)

Xu Changqing's identity is no secret to a small number of high-level members of the Alliance, and when he learned that Xu Changqing was coming to Shanghai, Chen Qimei, the person in charge of the Alliance in Shanghai, immediately sent a message to An Zhuang, asking him to contact Xu Changqing no matter what, and try to pull him to the side of the Alliance. It's just that judging from Xu Changqing's current attitude, this task is a lot more difficult for An Zhuang.

After the carriage drove into the North Station area, the flow of people and vehicles increased sharply, the road was much wider, the buildings on both sides of the road became taller, and there were many more Chinese in suits and leather shoes.

"Stop the car!" Xu Changqing suddenly commanded as the carriage passed through a small square garden.

The carriage was immediately pulled to a stop on the side of the road, and at this time, Xu Changqing's eyes looked at a revolutionary drama being rehearsed in the garden, and there was an acquaintance among the main actors, who was Dong Fang, the eldest lady of the Dong family.

"Sir, do you know Dong Fang, the eldest lady of the Dong family?" Sensing where Xu Changqing's gaze was, An Zhuang asked softly.

Xu Changqing said with a flat face: "There are several faces. ”

An Zhuang smiled slightly, and said in an appreciative tone: "Although she is still young, she is also quite knowledgeable, and she is also a rare hot-blooded young man. ”

"There is often only a thin line between enthusiasm and ignorance and blindness!" Xu Changqing sneered disdainfully, and then asked, "Shouldn't she be in Tianjin? Why did she come to Shanghai?"

"A month ago, the situation in the capital became a little weird, Tianjin was also affected, the atmosphere was very tense, as if there would be a fight at any time, so the Dong family decided to move some industries south to Shanghai. An Zhuang did not express any dissatisfaction with Xu Changqing's disdain, and explained carefully with a calm expression: "Now the older generation of the Dong family guards the industry there in Tianjin, and Dong Zhenyu and his wife came to Shanghai to develop their careers, and Dong Fang also transferred to Shanghai St. Mary's Girls' High School at that time. But this girl is really a troublemaker, and she has been warned three times by the concession patrol room not long after she came. Although this is a concession area, but such a large-scale propaganda against the Qing Dynasty made the upper echelons of the concession very embarrassed, if it weren't for the fact that the Dong family still had some status in Shanghai, I am afraid that this girl would have been thrown to the Qing court by the consul of the concession. ”

Xu Changqing asked again: "How is the Dong family's business expanding in Shanghai?"

"Hehe!" An Zhuang smiled and said: "Although the Dong family can be regarded as the top position of Chinese businessmen in Tianjin Wei, they have no place in Shanghai, and the mixed dragons and snakes in Shanghai are not comparable to Tianjin Wei. When he first came, Dong Zhenyu was cheated of a large amount of money by several white-faced people, if it weren't for his wife's clever purchase of an old textile factory, and found a position for Dong Zhenyu in the French Concession Business Board, I am afraid that the Dong family has not yet gained a firm foothold, and has already returned to Tianjin. ”

Xu Changqing said indifferently: "Presumably Chen Weng also helped them in this matter!"

"As you expected!" An Zhuang said with a smile: "The master said that the Dong family has some connections with our Chen family, so he sent someone to pull some people from the business board to help the Dong family, and also took out a loan to help the Dong family set up a textile factory." ”

Xu Changqing nodded, as if agreeing with Chen Deshang's approach. At this time, the drama in the garden was already halfway through, and a lot of people had gathered around, and from another alley, more than a dozen Chinese and Indian patrols suddenly ran out, surrounding the stage and dispersing the surrounding crowd, one of whom looked like a leader was about to arrest Dong Fang and several other main actors.

Seeing Xu Changqing's brows furrowed slightly at this time, An Zhuang immediately understood what he should do, and ordered the coachman to call the patrol leader over, and said to the man with an arrogant expression: "Smiling Tiger, are you leading the team today?"

"Yo, isn't this Grandpa An? Seeing An Zhuang's face suddenly changed, and his expression was full of servant appearance, he stepped forward and saluted: "Today was originally led by the third brother, but last night the third brother played around with the little peach in Piaoxianglou all night, and he lost his spirit, so he let the little one come out and shake his majesty." ”

"You kid is also a mixed up!" An Zhuang smiled, then pointed to the garden stage and said, "It's just that you came out to shake your majesty, as for making such a big noise?"

The smiling tiger hurriedly explained: "Hehe! You don't know that this little girl has been making trouble here these days, and it has alarmed the Qing court, and now the Qing court is putting pressure on the top to deal with this matter, otherwise how can the little one have the leisure to take care of this matter." ”

"There are big and small deals, just disperse them, why arrest people? The Dong family has something to do with my master, and since I see it, I can't ignore it. An Zhuang said, took out a banker ticket from his sleeve, handed it to the smiling tiger, and said: "This money is the hard money for the brothers, you can take it and divide them!"

"How embarrassing is this!" Although the smiling tiger said that he was embarrassed, his hand was not slow at all, and he hurriedly took the banker ticket and stuffed it into his clothes, and then saluted: "The little one knows how to do it, you can rest assured!"

After saying that, he turned around and walked quickly back to the garden, shouted a few words to the surrounding patrols, and then took away a few stage props, and turned to leave. Such a hasty ending made the young students who were originally going to fight desperately feel inexplicable, and only a few people noticed the side of the carriage.

"Let's go!" Xu Changqing saw that the matter was resolved, but he didn't want to contact the Dong family again, so he ordered to continue the journey.

The Chen family's mansion in Shanghai is located next to the Suzhou Creek in Zhabei Province, across the river from Jiangning District, and most of the villas and mansions on this road are inhabited by Chinese businessmen. In the early morning, the villas on this line can hear the trumpets and fishing songs of the boatmen on the river, which is quite idyllic.

The Chen Mansion is the most common French garden villa, with three identical bungalows built in the shape of a large open space, and a large artificial garden in the middle, including a labyrinth of one-man tall bushes. This villa is the first thing Xu Changqing did for the Chen family after succeeding as the owner of Yizhuang, from site selection to expansion, Xu Changqing is operating behind the scenes, especially under the shrub maze, he buried twelve zodiac golden crutches, forming a positive Yuan Baohua wealth array, gathering Shanghai's wealth for the Chen family.
