I, the wanderer of the universe, love making friends

Chapter 383 Return to Shanghai: Master Qin Wu

"Damn it, why did you bring me back for no apparent reason?"

When Shen Lang's eyes swept over the familiar yet unfamiliar scene around him, his brows frowned instantly and he couldn't help but curse under his breath.

At this moment, he was speechless.

Looking up, the retro European-style buildings on the street are slightly mottled due to the erosion of time, but they still exude a unique charm;
Rickshaws were speeding back and forth on the streets like swimming fish, and the drivers' earnest shouts came one after another, all of which mercilessly announced his current situation - he had inexplicably returned to Shanghai during the Republic of China period.

Recalling the past years in this world, Shen Lang's thoughts seemed to be gently pulled by an invisible hand, drifting away slowly.

He is famous and prestigious here, and is surrounded by several beautiful women with their own unique styles.

The first wife, Feng Chengcheng, was the jewel in the crown of Feng Jingyao, the former Shanghai tyrant. She was bright and beautiful, like the most beautiful flower blooming in spring. Her temperament was extraordinary, and her every move exuded the elegance and nobility of a lady from a noble family.

The concubine Takeda Yumi exudes the gentleness and softness unique to Oriental women. Her smile is like a spring breeze, which warms people's hearts.
Qiqiao is like a rose with thorns, with a fiery and unrestrained personality. Her every move reveals a variety of charms, making it hard for anyone to forget her.

Although Yamaguchi Kaori has a special identity as a Japanese female spy, the mysterious charm she exudes is like a magnet, attracting the attention of people around her.

As for his female confidantes, there were so many of them that even he himself was sometimes dazzled. A rough estimate showed that there were more than a hundred of them.

In Shen Lang's mind, he has always firmly adhered to the principle of "more friends, more paths; more wives, more homes."

He often thought to himself, in this complicated and unpredictable career, traveling between different worlds, what's the big deal if he marries a few more wives?

He just had a sincere heart and truly wanted to give these women a stable and warm home.

In his eyes, this is not just a responsibility, but also a unique lifestyle he has chosen.

This time, the reason why he couldn't help swearing was because he was looking forward to exploring a whole new world, meeting more interesting and like-minded new friends, and thus embarking on a different life journey full of unknowns and surprises.

But fate was like a naughty child who loved to play tricks on others, ruthlessly dragging him back to this place that he was already familiar with.

However, Shen Lang was a man who had experienced many ups and downs, and he quickly adjusted his mentality.

Now that we are back, let's just relive the good old days. After all, a short separation is better than a new marriage, and maybe we can even taste some different flavors.

This trip is just a relaxing vacation for himself, where he can meet his old lovers who once had a deep friendship with him.

Shen Lang was secretly thinking in his heart that even if he wanted to indulge himself occasionally and go out for fun, he had to have his own unique style.

If he were to go, he would only look for women of the courtesan level. He would simply disdain those mid- and low-level technicians.

In his opinion, people living in this world must have some unique pursuits.

Shen Lang has no interest in dominating the world or controlling power, but when it comes to liking beautiful women, he has to be very particular about the level.

Life is dull and boring, so we have to find some fun to make our days interesting, right?
Originally, he was thinking of calling a rickshaw to go out and have some fun, but after thinking about it, he realized that how could those women in red-light districts be compared with Feng Chengcheng and the others?
Why waste time looking for those withered flowers and fallen willows?

Thinking of this, he decisively called a rickshaw and went straight back to his magnificent villa.

Although to these women, Shen Lang was only out for a few minutes.

But to Shen Lang, it seemed like several centuries had passed.

So in the next few days, he spent time with the women in his family and enjoyed this rare leisure time.

This afternoon.

Shen Lang had just finished sleeping with Feng Chengcheng and was nestling comfortably on the soft sofa, thinking about which corner of Shanghai he should go to for some fun tonight.

Was he going to the glamorous casino to try his luck, or to some secret private club to have a drink with his confidantes? Just then, the housekeeper Li Xiang hurried into the living room.

"Master," he bowed slightly, his voice steady and clear, "someone has brought a visiting card outside the door, and also brought quite a few valuable gifts."

"Who?" Shen Langman asked casually.

Li Xiang said, "It's Qin Wu, who runs a dance hall. People in the underworld respectfully call him Master Qin Wu."

"What about Fifth Master Qin and Sixth Master Qin? Should I know him?" Shen Lang frowned slightly and turned to look at Li Xiang with a hint of doubt in his eyes. "Did he tell me why he was looking for me?"

"He didn't say anything, but he spoke very sincerely and repeatedly said that if he had any important matters, he would visit the master in person." Li Xiang answered truthfully, his expression still respectful.

Without a second thought, Shen Lang waved his hand and said directly, "Leave the gift behind and send the person and the invitation back together. I have other important things to do later, and I don't have the time to deal with these people who showed up out of nowhere."

"Yes." Li Xiang nodded quickly and was about to turn around and leave.

"Uncle Xiang, wait a minute." Feng Chengcheng's voice came from upstairs, and then she came down.

Today she was wearing an exquisite cheongsam, which outlined her graceful figure, and her eyes and eyebrows revealed gentleness and dignity.

"master."

After Feng Chengcheng came downstairs, she said softly, "I think it's better to meet him. Dad was so unkind back then, and he made so many enemies with others that he ended up in such a miserable situation."

"Although our family is now more prosperous than before, it never hurts to make more friends. However, this is just my humble opinion. Ultimately, it's up to you, Master, to make the final decision."

After hearing Feng Chengcheng's words, Shen Lang pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Since Madam has said so, then let's meet him. Uncle Xiang, please invite him in."

"Yes." Li Xiang responded respectfully, turned around and walked out of the living room quickly.

Soon, Li Xiang came in with a middle-aged man.

The man had regular features, a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on his nose, was wearing a well-tailored long gown, and his hair was neatly combed back.

Every gesture and movement exudes an air of shrewdness and competence, as if the sophistication and tact of Shanghai are integrated into every movement.

"Qin Wu meets Boss Shen." Qin Wu smiled with just the right amount of humility and respect. He took a step forward and bowed slightly.

"Uncle Xiang, since we have a distinguished guest, go and serve some good tea." Shen Lang said enthusiastically with a smile on his face. The smile on his face seemed friendly, but he actually had no impression of Qin Wu.

After Qin Wu sat down, he took the teacup handed to him by Li Xiang, took a sip, and a look of satisfaction appeared on his face, as if he quite appreciated the fragrance of the tea.

Then he put down his teacup, his expression became serious, and he said sincerely, "Boss Shen, I'm sorry to have come here today because I really have something to discuss with you."

"whats the matter?"

Shen Lang showed a look of interest on his face, thinking secretly in his heart that Qin Wu was no ordinary person to have made a name for himself in Shanghai, a city full of good and bad people. His coming here today must be for something serious.

Then he said, "Boss Qin, if you have any questions, please feel free to ask. As long as I, Shen Lang, can help, I will not refuse."

Qin Wu sighed slightly, a look of helplessness crossing his face. He said, "Qin was lucky enough to have earned some fame in Shanghai, but I never expected this fame to become a burden. Some nosy reporters are always trying to dig up some explosive gossip from me, and they pester me every day."

He paused briefly before continuing, "Just yesterday, a reporter insisted on breaking into the ballroom to interview me. My bodyguard got anxious and hit the reporter a little too hard, injuring him..."

PS: When I was writing about The Bund before, I was thinking about writing about Aunt Xue, Ruping, Mengping and others in Romance in the Rain. Now I will write about them and then write a few more Republican dramas to make up a unit plot.
