Chapter 224 Bathroom Conversation

Shanghai people are really very knowledgeable about bathing, and it is very different from Nanjing.

Taking a bath, you can also see Du Yuesheng's status in Shanghai.

I usually start taking a bath at noon. I don’t know how comfortable it is to soak in the large bathtub.

The smallest one goes in, and the water in the bath is the cleanest.

But in order to welcome Meng Shaoyuan out of prison, Du Yuesheng had already ordered him to go down and a large pool of water had been boiled early in the morning.

Back rubs, pedicures, and back strokes are all there waiting for your order.

One group of Gu Jiatang's people were outside, and the other group was in the bathhouse, standing motionless.

Taking a bath is really comfortable, but the question is, what does it feel like to soak alone in a huge bathing pool while a large group of people are watching you?

Awkward.

Since the founding of the Republic of China, Meng Shaoyuan's thick skin can definitely be ranked among the top three.

But even so, it was very uncomfortable.

What are a group of grown men doing watching another man take a shower?

Suddenly there were voices outside.

After a while, Gu Jiatang came in limping: "Mr. Meng, Boss Ji is here. I don't know where he got the news, but he insisted on coming in to take a shower."

Boss Ji?

Ji Yunqing?

Meng Shaoyuan pondered for a moment: "Okay, I just happen to be alone and bored."

After a while, Ji Yunqing walked in. When he saw Meng Shaoyuan, he bowed respectfully: "Mr. Meng, please excuse me."

This old fox has long known that even Du Yuesheng has suffered at the hands of this person, so his attitude is particularly respectful.

"Boss Ji, please."

Ji Yunqing stepped into the bathtub, then poured hot water on his body. After his body adapted to the water temperature, he completely soaked his whole body in the water.

Enjoy it as much as you like.

Ji Yunqing likes to take baths, which is famous in Shanghai.

Meng Shaoyuan waved his hand, and Gu Jiatang quickly led everyone out of the bath.

"Mr. Meng." Ji Yunqing said, "Since you came to Shanghai, it stands to reason that we are old acquaintances. I have to be a little bitch for everything. I don't know when you will be free, Mr. Meng."

"Just skip the meal." Meng Shaoyuan said calmly: "Isn't Boss Ji here specifically to take a shower with me today?"

"Mr. Meng is wise." Ji Yunqing said flatteringly: "Boss Huang, the three tycoons in Shanghai, has been enjoying his fortune these years and doesn't care about anything anymore. Boss Zhang is arrogant and domineering and has offended too many people.

In such a big Shanghai, Mr. Du is actually the only person in charge. Mr. Du is a man of great talent, but it would be difficult to manage the entire Shanghai by himself.

Yun Qing saw a few days ago that Mr. Meng was very dissatisfied with Mr. Du, but to put it bluntly, Mr. Meng cannot be in Shanghai every day. Yun Qing is not talented, so he is willing to do some small things for Mr. Meng."

Although what he said was subtle, the meaning behind his words could not be clearer.

Ji Yunqing focused on the position of Shanghai Bund boss, but there were three tycoons above him, so he couldn't do it no matter what.

The key thing is that Du Yuesheng had the backing of the French at the beginning. After falling out with the French, he got the support of the Nationalist Government, so it was a smooth journey and his power was transferred to Shanghai.

What about him?

But he doesn’t have as many resources as Du Yuesheng.

But with the appearance of Meng Shaoyuan, she immediately saw hope.

Although he could not completely figure out Meng Shaoyuan's true identity, after seeing Meng Shaoyuan's attitude at the banquet that day, Ji Yunqing had already guessed that Meng Shaoyuan's backer, even someone like Du Yuesheng, could not afford to offend him.

If you don't take this opportunity to make friends with him, then when will you wait?

Meng Shaoyuan smiled half-heartedly: "Boss Ji, you don't say secret words in front of people. Tell me directly what step you want to take."

When Ji Yunqing heard this, he immediately became energetic: "Mr. Meng, I won't hide it anymore. If Mr. Meng is listed on the market, Yunqing is determined to manage Shanghai in a sound and dramatic manner and will live up to Mr. Meng's expectations."

What Yun Qing thinks is that although Shanghai Beach is big, if one person has the ability, it can be managed.

I think Mr. Du can live a peaceful life like Mr. Huang. As long as I am in charge of Shanghai, Yunqing can do whatever Mr. Meng wants."

Meng Shaoyuan was always there listening attentively.

When he heard Ji Yunqing finish speaking, he said: "Boss Ji, you just said that it would be difficult to take care of the entire Shanghai with your own efforts. Yes, it would be difficult for Du Yuesheng to take care of him alone. You, Boss Ji, are very energetic.

"

He suddenly pointed at the bath in front of him: "Boss Ji, is this bath big?"

"big."

“Boss Yidu, let’s see how many people can be accommodated to take a bath at one time?”

Ji Yunqing didn't understand what he meant, so he hesitated: "There can be twenty or thirty people."

"Yes, there can be almost that many people." Meng Shaoyuan said in a daze: "Boss Ji didn't come just now, so I was soaking in the bathtub alone and felt very bored.

Why? Bathing is a public place. Only when there are many people are there people chatting. It is interesting when there are many people. Even if a person can enjoy the bath alone, what is the point of having no one to talk to?

Boss Ji, this bathhouse is very big and can accommodate a lot of people taking a bath together. The public concession is also very large, and Shanghai is even bigger. It cannot be fed by one person."

Ji Yunqing's face showed obvious embarrassment.

From the beginning to the end, this young man always had a smile on his face, looking harmless to humans and animals.

But whenever he opens his mouth, he leaves people speechless.

"Here, let's rub your back." Meng Shaoyuan walked out of the bath and called the back rub master.

"Boss, please."

Meng Shaoyuan lay down obediently, and while enjoying the service brought to him by the back rub master, he said vaguely: "Master, do you know this person?"

The back rub master was a little hesitant and didn't know whether he should answer or not.

"I know you know him, Ji Yunqing, Boss Ji." Meng Shaoyuan looked like he was about to fall asleep: "In your bathroom, you have to pay him protection money every month, including you.

I don’t quite understand, Boss Ji, are you really short of money? During the peak season, they wipe more than a dozen people’s backs every day. They have to pay a share fee in the bathroom, and they have to give you money. Do you really deserve this money?

Start?

They also have to support their families. What you drink is foreign wine that costs tens of dollars a bottle, and what they drink is a few cents a pound. Do you think it is okay to take their money?

Boss Ji, what you just said to me, I just want to tell you that Shanghai is chaotic enough. If you change someone else, it might be even more chaotic. In this case, don't change it."

"Yes, Master Meng, I understand."

Ji Yunqing stood up from the bath, her face turned pale.

"Boss Ji, listen to me." Meng Shaoyuan said lazily: "You are older than Du Yuesheng. Retire and go to Hong Kong to live in an apartment. It will be much more comfortable than living in Shanghai."

"I understand, Master Meng."

Meng Shaoyuan laughed.
