A film series in the Republic of China: The legendary Taoist priest in Shanghai

"Boss, there's a woman downstairs who lost money and is lying, saying she's your mother-in-law."

Xu Bada went upstairs to report.

"Bring her up."

Wencai was curious that someone actually recognized him as a relative.

A few minutes later, Xu Bada brought a woman in her forties into Wencai's office.

"I'm Jin Zhaoli, Lili's mother. I lost a hundred dollars. Can I..."

Jin's mother spoke timidly and was very afraid of Wencai.

Don't underestimate Wencai because he has a toilet head and looks old, but he became famous yesterday and the whole four streets are rumored to have evil powers.

When they met for the first time, she didn't understand whether a big shot like Wencai would give face to her as his mother-in-law.

"Bada, give her a hundred dollars and another two hundred dollars in chips for her to gamble with."

Thank you. I will make sure Lili listens to you.

Jin's mother was overjoyed. Her daughter was really useful. It was much better for her to be with such a big boss than with a pretty boy.

"If there's nothing else, let's go!"

As soon as Wencai spoke, Jin's mother quickly backed away and left the office.

If it were in the previous life, the mother-in-law who had a beautiful daughter like Jin Zhaoli would have been so arrogant and domineering.

Xu Bada really gave Jin Mu two hundred yuan in chips, and Jin Mu didn't know how much she could do with the chips.

But for Wencai, there is almost no loss.

Sooner or later, Jin Mu will lose everything. Money goes in and out, leaving her with nothing but entertainment.

………………

That evening, Jin Zhaoli came back and became much more affectionate towards Wencai.

For three or four days in a row, the casino business was getting better and better, and no one came to destroy the place or cause trouble.

Yiping only sang one song every night, and being Yiping's bodyguard only took an hour or two, and it was all like a trip to Shanghai for entertainment.

If Wencai doesn't go to the casino during the day, he is just an idle person.

The big boss is busy with management and intrigue, while the small boss just needs to have a stable business to make money, and the rest of the time he can play.

Wencai took some time to go to the Transportation Bureau and spent ten yuan to get a driver's license.

There were no driving schools in the Republic of China, and there were no subject one and subject two. You could get a driver's license by paying a fee and driving two laps without hitting anything.

With his driver's license in hand, Wencai drove to a tailor shop on Xiafei Road.

A few days ago, he went to a tailor shop to order several suits and shirts.

Shanghai bigwigs can't dress too shabbily.

After changing into a shirt and suit, I feel that my hair shape is too rustic.

Then go to the barber shop and find a foreign hairdresser.

He originally wanted to change his hairstyle, perhaps to a slicked back style like Xu Wenqiang's.

Unexpectedly, before he asked the barber to cut his hair, the system prompt sounded in his mind.

"Please keep your toilet head hairstyle, otherwise it will be incompatible with your body and cause your attributes to decline."

Wencai was stunned. How could this be possible?

Hairstyle will affect attributes, but the system is the truth and you can only obey it.

Wencai communicated with the hairdresser. Fortunately, this foreign hairdresser was from Paris, France, and was good at artistic washing, cutting and blow-drying.

Keep the toilet head unchanged, just curl the bottom slightly to make the shape of the toilet more fluffy.

A master is a master. With just slight modifications, Wencai’s toilet head looks much more pleasing to the eye.

After changing into a suit and trimming his hair, Wencai became more energetic.

Of course, you can’t change being ugly, but you can still be ugly and charming.

For example, some big-name actors in later generations are all ugly men, but they are ugly in a way that makes them look good, and there is no shortage of beautiful women around them.

"It seems we are still missing a watch."

If you are a big shot, you can’t leave your wrist empty, you must have a famous watch.

I drove along Xiafei Road and found a decent foreign watch shop. As soon as I entered, I saw an acquaintance.

Ren Tingting was standing in the watch shop.

"Brother Wencai, how did you know I was here? Why are you dressed so handsomely? Did you win the lottery?"

Ren Tingting was wearing a white floral dress, and Wencai was surprised by his arrival.

Wencai couldn't help but be moved: "There are so many young ladies, Cheng Cheng, Yi Ping, Ru Ping, if there is anyone who really respects me, it has to be Miss Ting Ting."

"I didn't know you were here. I just wanted to come in and buy a watch. Tingting, do you work here?"

Wencai was also puzzled as he asked. Logically speaking, the Ren family had a lot of assets. No wonder Ren Tingting spent it all so quickly after coming to Shanghai.

Ren Tingting smiled and said, "This is my Ren family business, but I'm just a shareholder. Zhuzhu is the boss. By the way, do you know Zhuzhu? She's my cousin Ren Zhuzhu."

A young girl with her hair loose and wearing a working suit heard Ren Tingting calling her and immediately came to the counter.

As soon as Wencai saw the girl's appearance, he immediately knew who she was.

Ren Zhuzhu, the other eldest daughter of the Ren family.

There are two Renjia towns, East Town and West Town. Ren Tingting lives in the East Town, and Ren Zhuzhu lives in the West Town.

The Ren family has had zombies since ancient times. Ren Tingting's family suffered a zombie disaster, and within a year, the great-grandfather of my cousin Ren Zhuzhu's family also turned into a zombie.

The person who originally handled this matter was Uncle Jiu's senior brother Ma Rulong, but unfortunately Taoist Ma's magical powers were not strong enough, so it was Uncle Jiu who stepped in to resolve the matter.

However, at that time, Uncle Taoist Simu was quite busy, so Wencai and Qiu Sheng went to help, and they did not go to Ren Zhuzhu's house to suppress the corpse.

So Ren Zhuzhu didn't know Wencai.

However, Ren Zhuzhu didn't know him, but he knew Ren Zhuzhu.

"This is the peach goddess of later generations!"

Wencai thought to himself, but shook his head pretending to be ignorant.

"Who is this uncle?"

Ren Zhuzhu asked in a low voice.

"Wencai, my second senior brother, Uncle Jiu's second disciple."

As soon as Ren Tingting mentioned Uncle Jiu, Ren Zhuzhu immediately smiled and stretched out her hand, saying, "So you're from the same hometown, Uncle Jiu's disciple. It was thanks to your master that I was saved last time."

Wencai gently lifted Ren Zhuzhu's small hand and felt it was white and smooth.

"Cousin, when did you become Uncle Jiu's disciple? I don't think you ever told me."

Ren Tingting blushed. She was just bragging to her classmates out of vanity, but she couldn't help but take it as the truth in her heart.

Maybe she has always wanted to worship Uncle Jiu as her master and become a female ghost catcher.

"You don't know what happened before I came to Shanghai."

Ren Tingting kept looking at Wencai while speaking, fearing that Wencai would reveal the truth.

Wencai just smiled and didn't say anything after hearing it.

In fact, if Ren Tingting were a man, he would be fully qualified to be Uncle Jiu's disciple. She is brave and agile, and her performance in fighting the Ren family's corpse king was better than Qiu Sheng Wencai.

"How come you opened a watch shop in Shanghai?"

Wencai looked around the watch shop. It was a medium-sized shop decorated in European style, and was located on Xiafei Road in the bustling area.

A rough calculation shows that it would cost at least 20,000 yuan to open one.

Only after listening to the sisters’ stories did Wencai know the truth.

When the Japanese invaded Longguo, war broke out and many wealthy people in Longguo moved to big cities like Beijing, Shanghai and Tianjin.

Big cities are safe and difficult for the Japanese to attack. Anyone with a little money in Longguo runs to the big cities.

Since the zombies appeared in the Ren family, the feng shui has deteriorated and affected the family's offspring. There are only two girls, Tingting and Zhuzhu, in this generation, so they simply moved to Shanghai to settle down.

The three of them chatted for more than half an hour, and Ren Tingting also asked Wencai why he was dressed so elegantly.

Wencai did not lie to Tingting and told her that he had used Maoshan medical skills to save an injured Qian Wang.

Then the King gave him a lot of money.

Uncle Jiu also charges money for exorcising zombies and catching ghosts. It is normal for Wencai to charge money for saving people, so Ren Tingting didn't think much about it.

"Don't spend your money recklessly. Make money and buy me a house and marry me a sister-in-law in the future."

Ren Tingting kindly advised Wencai.

Wencai was touched. Besides his uncle Jiu, Tingting was the only person who helped him save money in his life.

"I already have a house and a concubine, and I am just waiting for you, my first wife."

Wencai looked at Ren Tingting and thought to himself.

"I'm here to buy a watch."

After chatting, Wen explained his purpose.

Zhuzhu and Tingting immediately took out their watches like they were presenting treasures and asked Wencai to choose.

The two of them explained the pros and cons of watches, especially Zhuzhu, who was very knowledgeable about watch mechanics.

Like Tingting, Zhuzhu has also lived abroad and learned some knowledge about watches.

"Pick one. It's not fancy, it has a calendar dial, and it has fluorescence, so you can see the meeting time even when you hunt ghosts at night."

Wencai actually had his eyes on an exaggerated large gold watch.

This kind of big gold watch is a must-have for successful bosses. Wearing it on the wrist exudes an invisible aura of dominance.

The big gold watch was also incredibly expensive, costing a full five hundred dollars.

Five hundred yuan is expensive, but it is just in line with the current spending level of literary talents.

However, Zhuzhu recommends an elegant, moderately priced and practical watch that costs only 80 yuan.

"This is it. I'll give it to my brother."

Wencai was still waiting and watching, but Ren Tingting had already made the decision for him.

"Thank you, Tingting. I'll treat you to dinner."

Wencai put on the watch. Since it was given to him by a beautiful woman, he felt it was more precious than a big gold watch.

Ren Tingting had nothing to say to him, and she gave him the 80-yuan watch just as he asked.

You know, Ruping, a rich girl, would show off her twenty-dollar bracelet everywhere.

It takes several months of skipping food and drink to save up 80 yuan as a hired worker in Shanghai.

When Ren Zhuzhu heard Wencai talking about treating her to a meal, she spoke.

"Let's go. There's a new Lowe restaurant on Xiafei Road that just opened. It's pretty good. I haven't been there yet. Let's go together today."

"Lowell Restaurant is too expensive. Let's go to a Shanghai restaurant instead."

Ren Tingting refused because she wanted to save money for Wencai.

A meal at a Chinese restaurant costs at most one or two dollars, while a meal at a Lowe restaurant costs at least twenty or thirty dollars.

Wencai earned some money, but he had just arrived in Shanghai and had a lot of places to spend money. Ren Tingting couldn't bear to let Wencai spend money indiscriminately.

Wencai felt touched again when he heard Ren Tingting say this.

A woman spends a man's money lavishly and takes the initiative to save money for him.

Emotionally, they are in two different realms.

If I bring Jin Zhaoli with me, I'm sure we'll eat and drink the best.

Because Ren Tingting is sincere to Wencai, Jin Zhaoli is just a plaything kept by Wencai.

It cannot be said that Jin Zhaoli is a bad woman, it’s just that her relationship with Wencai is different.

Ren Tingting and Wencai fought zombies together, which was equivalent to comrades-in-arms who fought a battle of life and death together.

"Let's go to Lowe. I also want to see how it is different from our Renjia Town."

There is also a small Western-style restaurant in Renjia Town, where Ren Tingting once played a trick on Uncle Jiu and Qiu Sheng Wencai.
