Du Yuesheng is the boss of the green gang who has been on the beach for several years, he started with gambling, and is a powerful person who makes money and accumulates wealth. But such a person who loves money, his legacy when he was dying, was only 100,000 US dollars.
It is said that although Du Yuesheng's money has no way to get it, it is scattered, and with these foreign things, he has engulfed relations in all directions. When there are contradictions between foreign capital and workers, he will always choose to solve these contradictions out of his own pocket.
How would such a man react when his benefactor's son came to him?
Du Yuesheng
One day, the Du Mansion was still as quiet as usual, when suddenly there was a knock at the door, and the housekeeper got up to open the door. Later, the housekeeper reported to Du Yuesheng that an old lady surnamed Wan had come to visit.
Du Yuesheng was originally sitting peacefully on a chair drinking tea, when he heard the butler's words, he reacted at once, and then hurried out to meet this "distinguished guest".
Where did this old lady come from? Why can Du Yuesheng personally go out to greet him? It turned out that Mrs. Wan was Du Yuesheng's distant relative and his savior.
When Du Yuesheng was young, she was lonely and bitter, and Mrs. Wan took care of him a lot, and when Du Yuesheng was ill, she used to take care of Du Yuesheng without any clothes, and also borrowed money to see him everywhere. If there was no old lady Wan, Du Yuesheng might not have lived now. Du Yuesheng was a person who knew the reward very well, and heard that the life-saving benefactor had come to the palace, so he went out to greet him.
Mrs. Wan was welcomed into the parlor, and after a period of greeting, Mrs. Wan finally made her intentions clear.
Mrs. Wan had a son named Wan Molin, a coppersmith with little income, and a very difficult life on weekdays, not to mention the matter of marrying a daughter-in-law. Mrs. Wan was very worried about her son's situation and originally did not want to cause trouble for Du Yuesheng, but for the sake of her son, she still chose to knock on Du Yuesheng's door, hoping that Du Yuesheng could find an ordinary errand for her son.
Du Yuesheng is a very emotional person, the former benefactor came to him to help, he will definitely help. Upon hearing Mrs. Wan's appeal, he felt deep sympathy and said that he would definitely help him, so he agreed without thinking about it.
Mrs. Wan expressed her gratitude to Du Yuesheng and then resigned.
Later, Du Yuesheng really fulfilled his promise and arranged Foreman to work next to his wife Shen Yueying.
Van Merlin
However, the matter did not end here, After all, Du Yuesheng was a big man on the beach, and those who worked under him must not have the problem of moral misconduct. In order to test Wan Molin's character, Du Yuesheng's wife Shen Yueying prepared to test Wan Molin with a difficult problem.
According to common sense, people from poor families will always have a special obsession with money, and Shen Yueying, who has a delicate mind, is ready to test Wan Molin with money. Therefore, Shen Yueying deliberately lost five yuan on a very conspicuous ground, thinking to himself: If Wan Molin picked up the money on the ground, then send him away.
After a while, Wan Molin returned, and he immediately noticed the five yuan that had been thrown to the ground.
What would Wan Molin do in the face of a test he didn't know? In the end, did he continue to stay at the Du Mansion?
Deliberately throw money tentatively
Wan Molin was good-looking, but he was a very talented person.
Although he did not go to school for a day when he was a child due to his family's poverty, his memory exceeded that of many people. If he can have the opportunity to receive education, Wan Molin will definitely become a better talent.
In the face of Madame Du's test, Wan Molin did not know anything, but his performance surprised Shen Yueying. When Wan Molin saw the five yuan that Shen Yueying had deliberately thrown to the ground, he went straight to the ground, his eyes did not stay for a moment, and then went to find Shen Yueying to resume his life.
Later, Shen Yueying mentioned this matter to Du Yuesheng, and both husband and wife praised Wan Molin's approach, and since then, Wan Molin has also become one of the most trusted people of Du Yuesheng and his wife.
Meng Xiaodong, Du Yuesheng
When Wan Molin first came to du mansion, his main job every day was to take care of Madame Du's living.
Here in Madame Du, he always acted as a subordinate.
For example, if Madame Du wants to eat something, Wan Molin will definitely deliver the steaming delicacies to Madame Du; if Madame Du wants to go to certain places, Wan Molin will definitely arrange Madame Du's itinerary for the next day in advance, and even take into account the unexpected situations that may occur on the road.
In short, no matter what problems were encountered, they were not a problem in front of Wan Molin.
At first, Du Yuesheng, who did not think of reusing Wan Molin, saw that Wan Molin had done such a good job of taking care of his wife's living work, and also began to pay more attention to him, and gradually ordered his work to Beg Wan Molin to complete.
At that time, Du Yuesheng and his wife had a very important telephone book, which recorded the phone calls of more than 200 important contacts. Out of trust in Wan Molin, Du Yuesheng and his wife handed over the phone book to Wan Molin for safekeeping.
Faced with this task, Wan Molin was very worried in his heart. He thought, if he accidentally lost this phone book, wouldn't he have made a big mistake? He also worries that with so many contacts on the phone book, looking for someone's contact information one by one will waste too much time.
Thinking about it, Wan Molin made an important decision, he was ready to memorize the contact phones in the phone book.
In this way, whether it was day or night, Wan Molin always took out the phone book to look at it and recite it over and over again. In the end, Wan Molin finally familiarized the telephone calls of these two hundred people.
Once, Du Yuesheng wanted to contact someone in the phone book, but he didn't expect that Du Yuesheng had just reported the person's name, and Wan Molin on the other side had memorized the person's phone number.
Du Yuesheng was shocked, and did not expect that Wan Molin had actually memorized the entire phone book. In order to find out the truth, Du Yuesheng randomly sampled the phones of several people on the phone book to test Wan Molin, and sure enough, Wan Molin easily passed the test.
The occurrence of these things made Du Yuesheng's impression of Wan Molin undergo a major change, and he really began to look at Wan Molin differently. In the past, Du Yuesheng would always give Wan Molin some innocuous chores, and later he handed over the core affairs of managing the accounting room to Wan Molin, which showed the degree of trust in him.
At the same time, Wan Molin also lived up to expectations, and he always completed the tasks entrusted to him by Du Yuesheng.
Du Yuesheng and his wife became more and more satisfied with Wan Molin, and they felt that Wan Molin was not only serious in doing things, but also practical and capable, and was a reliable person, so they would entrust many important things to Wan Molin to do.
Of course, although Du Yuesheng trusted Wan Molin extremely at this time, he did not regard him as the closest person, and it was not until the later incident that Wan Yuesheng had an unshakable position in Du Yuesheng's heart.
So, what exactly caused Du Yuesheng to change his mind about Wan Molin again?
The first in command of the Du Mansion
At the end of 1940, Fu Xiao'an, the mayor of Shanghai who had been painstakingly supported by the Japanese, was assassinated, but the murderer could not be found. The Japanese will not give up on this, they must find out the murderer behind the scenes.
Du Yuesheng has been on the beach for many years and has made many enemies, and some of them deliberately revealed to the Japanese side that the murder of Fu Xiao'an was inseparable from Du Yuesheng.
The Japanese have long seen that Du Yuesheng is not pleasing to the eye, and now the beams on both sides have grown again, and they want to use the power of the Shanghai police to get rid of Du Yuesheng. However, at this time, Du Yuesheng was already a big man with a head and a face in Shanghai Beach, and the forces he had accumulated in Shanghai for many years were difficult to shake, and even if the Japanese gritted their teeth at Du Yuesheng, they had no choice.
Since du Yuesheng could not be blatantly arrested, the Japanese pointed the finger at Du Yuesheng's cronies, Wan Molin.
The Japanese thought to themselves that Wan Molin and Du Yuesheng had always been good friends, and they would definitely be able to dig out many of Du Yuesheng's secrets in Wan Molin.
At first, the Japanese thought that Wan Molin was a greedy guy who was afraid of death, and that torture would work, but the truth far exceeded their expectations. Although Wan Molin's family was poor, he always remembered the words "loyalty and righteousness", and in the face of the Japanese torture to extract a confession, Wan Molin had to carry it down alive, and did not reveal any unfavorable news to Du Yuesheng.
On the other hand, Du Yuesheng knew that the Japanese had come to arrest Wan Molin, and he had always been very angry, and he was determined to do his best to save Wan Molin.
Of course, it was impossible for the Japanese to easily release Wan Molin, after several days of severe torture, Wan Molin had already been tortured to the point of disfigurement, and by the time Du Yuesheng opened up multiple relationships to find Wan Molin, Wan Molin was already dying.
Looking at Wan Molin's body full of scars, Du Yuesheng thought to himself that he had never given Wan Molin any preferential treatment, nor brought him great wealth, but he was willing to carry so much for himself. After so many years of groping and fighting on the beach, Du Yuesheng was still the first time to see someone like Wan Molin, and he was deeply touched by the quality of Wan Molin.
Later, Du Yuesheng took Wan Molin back and found the best doctor for him. By the time Wan Mo lin's body gradually recovered, Du Yuesheng had already regarded him as his closest person.
After this incident, Du Yuesheng began to trust Wan Molin 100%, and Wan Molin also became the first leader of du mansion.
Even so, Wan Molin had never been complacent because of such a special honor, and he still maintained his previous habits, worked seriously, and acted in a down-to-earth manner.
When Du Yuesheng chose to settle in Hong Kong in his old age, he also had no hesitation in letting Wan Molin follow him, because only Wan Molin could really reassure him.
At this time, Du Yuesheng not only regarded Wan Molin as his close confidant, but also regarded him as his family, and even a lifelong close friend.
The ups and downs of Du Yuesheng's life, Wan Molin witnessed one by one, even if Du Yuesheng lost his former glory in his later years, Wan Molin was always willing to fight side by side with Du Yuesheng. The friendship between the two has long surpassed that of ordinary superiors and subordinates, and they have become the closest people to each other.
brief summary
Wan Molin has changed from an obscure little person to a big person who has influenced Shanghai Beach for a while, during which it is indispensable to the introduction of Mrs. Wan and the support of Du Yuesheng to him, but more importantly, Wan Molin's own excellent quality. If it were not for his seriousness, pragmatism and loyalty, it would not have ushered in a different view of Du Yuesheng and his wife.
At any time, Wan Molin always remembers: "In his position, seek his own things."
He always completed the tasks assigned by Du Yuesheng and his wife very well, which also made him successfully become the "red man" of Du Mansion. Du Yuesheng still relied heavily on Wan Molin in his old age, which also showed from the side that Wan Molin was a person who could be entrusted.
The younger generation of us must also learn from Wan Molin's spirit of earnestness, steadfastness and loyalty, and contribute to the construction of the motherland.
