Chapter 9 Returning to Beijing
Obviously, what Jin Douer stated was quite bizarre and was kept as a secret. Otherwise, how could the CEO of CNOOC keep it secret? An island has moved. This is not a trivial matter.
But the most important thing at the moment is that he drank too much. Just be aware of this kind of thing. Talking too much can easily cause trouble. I signaled to Hulu and Lao Ma that it was time to leave.
Before I left, I didn't forget to tell no one about this matter. Otherwise, the water meter would not be easily checked. We are all ordinary people, and many things can be treated as just tea money and fun after dinner.
The two of them naturally understand each other. After all, they have suffered some hardships in this intrigue and deceitful society.
When we returned to the hotel, the cat was already lying there, playing with his mobile phone leisurely.
"Where have you been? You went shopping very late today." The cat didn't even look at me: "Hey, I drank a lot, and I met an acquaintance."
"Well, I met some middle school classmates and sat together for a while."
"I said we should go back to Beijing when we kill. It's really boring to stay here. All my buddies have married and have children, and no one cares about me."
Before I finished speaking, my cell phone rang. When I picked it up, Brother Peng!
"Ye Fei, let's go back to Beijing tomorrow. I've finished my work."
"No problem. I've been waiting for these words for several days."
"See you tomorrow!"
After hanging up the phone, I winked at Mao'er, "We'll go back to Beijing tomorrow!"
Mao'er grinned widely: "I can finally see the girl in the capital again. Don't forget what you told me about your female classmate before. Don't deny it."
I thought to myself that this guy has a really good memory. He really forgot about all the messy things that happened during this period.
The saying comes in a hurry and leaves in a hurry, that's probably what it means. I did understand some information when I returned home, but I also sent my fourth uncle away by the way, and walked around to understand according to the custom, and my mother didn't come forward. I am getting older,
No matter what happens after this ordeal, I won't be able to bear it and I will collapse.
I went to her place on the first night after returning to Beijing. Regarding the departure of my fourth uncle, she took it very lightly. It was inevitable. Anyway, we would never see him again even if we were alive.
I thought to myself, you old man is really thinking too much.
The next day, I was playing on the computer with nothing to do, and my phone rang again: "Cat, answer the phone for me."
Cat drowsily picked up the phone and said "Hello?"
Then he suddenly sat up from the bed and said, "Okay, I'll be on time."
I asked: "Who are you, you just hang up on me like this?"
"Xiaoxue, we want to have dinner together tonight, just us and Brother Peng." Mao'er said.
"Actually, I think Xiaoxue didn't intend to call you, right?" I said sarcastically to him.
"Not to mention, if people really call me names, I can't help but say that I'm handsome. Unfortunately, I'm not interested in married women." Mao'er pretended to be very aloof.
I didn't go to that roast duck restaurant again in the evening. I went to a hotel that looked more upscale. The name was written in small seal script and I didn't really recognize it.
During the dinner, Xiaoxue frequently toasted to me and expressed her gratitude. I thought to myself that I probably asked Brother Peng to do it. Brother Peng was still the same, sitting here with a dull look on his face, occasionally moving his chopsticks.
"I say Ye Fei, you are the most proud, Brother Peng has the best relationship with you in this life." Xiaoxue complimented me.
"No matter how good our relationship is, it can't compare to you using a honey trap to drive a wedge between us. Look at Da Fei's frustration." Mao'er said in a disgraceful way.
I coughed dryly: "Damn it, you're the only one who talks a lot. If you don't want to eat, don't talk nonsense."
"Actually, I admire Brother Peng very much. Thinking about our respective ideals back then, we are far apart now. He is the only one who insists on his own path and has been till now." Xiaoxue said with emotion.
This is indeed the case. Brother Peng has been interested in calligraphy and ancient prose more than ten years ago and has always been determined to study in this area. Although during college he chose the auto repair major due to the score in the college entrance examination, in the end, when it came to the choice of graduate students,
He has returned to the right path of history, but now he still behaves like a human being and a scholar.
Looking at myself again, I have not been taken seriously by teachers since I was in school. My biggest ideal at that time was to sell snowflake cheese or something, and eating it while selling it could be considered a kind of livelihood. But now, not only has snowflake cheese not been sold,
I also lost my previous job, that is, because of my relationship with Brother Peng, I took a lot of money from Xiaoxue, but it was Zhou Yu who was the one who wanted to fight Huang Gai. One was willing to fight and the other was willing to suffer.
Xiaoxue looked at my sad eyes and seemed to understand something, and said: "Ye Fei, don't be discouraged. I am optimistic about your ability. You have many ideas and there are many opportunities for development in the future. I have always dreamed of doing this.
A fashion designer, but now she is married to a rich husband, and she can only do some business that he doesn't want, and she has long since lost the courage to pursue her ideals."
This woman is not simple, I think. In fact, when I was in school, I could not have imagined that she would have such reactions and eloquence. I can only say that I am too blind.
"Okay, let's keep the story short. Xiaoxue, you asked us here today not just to thank Ye Fei and me." Brother Peng's straight-to-the-point personality is very similar to mine.
Xiaoxue chuckled: "Brother Peng, you are so annoying. There is no loss in letting people talk for a while."
It seems Brother Peng was right.
"Okay, let me explain briefly." Xiaoxue straightened her expression: "That's right, I recently took on a project. As you know, there are a lot of oil thieves in Iraq, and our country's oil reserves are getting less and less.
. So I used my husband’s relationship to communicate with the government there, hoping to sign an oil field mining right. However, the Iraqi people have become evil one by one under the influence of the US imperialism. The signing was signed, but the place was very
It’s desolate and remote, and its oil reserves have not yet been explored.”
Before he finished speaking, the cat here interrupted Xiaoxue's narration: "Can I take the liberty to ask, what does your husband do? Isn't he so awesome?"
Xiaoxue ignored him and continued: "Now I want to organize a group of my own people to go there to survey. The main purposes are two. The first and most important one is to survey the oil reserves. The second is to help
I understand whether the environment there is suitable for oil extraction."
"That means we can run errands for you, right?" I asked.
"That's right, it's a well-paid errand." Xiaoxue replied.
"This is a relatively professional thing in geological exploration. The three of us don't understand it. You should find a more professional team." Brother Peng said sharply.
"Well, I understand what you mean. I have a more professional team and I want to set off with you. You can find some other friends to help. How about 100,000 per person? Is this price reasonable? Brother Peng and Ye Fei alone.
Five hundred thousand." Xiaoxue said easily.
"Holy crap, why do I need 100,000 when there are so many of them? By the way, is there an upper limit on the number of people?" Mao'er asked.
"Because Brother Peng understands the customs and customs in Iraq, so he went there so that he could interact with the local people. Ye Fei is an old classmate of mine, so he can't help but give him face. As for the people you find yourself, just don't add more than ten of you."
"Xiaoxue said calmly.
"Okay, let's make a total of ten people. Let's report our names first." Mao'er said impatiently.
But Xiaoxue ignored him completely and looked directly at me and Brother Peng. At this moment, I was already immersed in the joy of half a million, but Brother Peng was much calmer than me.
"I still don't understand why."
"Because I'm afraid that the professional team there is unreliable and I need my own people to help. Don't let them fool me," Xiaoxue said.
Brother Peng said "Oh" and agreed.
I silently calculated in my mind that if I called Lao Ma, Gourd and Golden Douer, I would be able to get one hundred thousand yuan in just a few days. This would be much better than working hard for two or three years.
"The itinerary arranged for you is about half a month. It will depart in a week. I will contact you again then. Contact me in the next few days and be prepared. Pay half first and pay the rest when you come back tomorrow.
I will arrange for someone to send it to you." Xiaoxue said grandly.
"Speaking of Xiaoxue, why do I think we fell in love with you without knowing it? You seem to be sure that we will agree?" I asked Xiaoxue.
Xiaoxue chuckled and said, "How many people can't live with money these days?"
I also laughed a little, thinking about it, even Brother Peng, who was motionless before, only resisted symbolically.
Damn, that's what they say, life is like rape, if you don't have time to resist, then try to enjoy it.
Brother Peng smiled and said: "Actually, it's not mainly for the money. I've always been concerned about the culture of ancient Babylon. Moreover, Baghdad, the capital of Iraq, is also the capital of the ancient Arab Empire. Many legendary stories happened there long ago.
I just wanted to go there for a walk, but I had no time and of course no money, so my plan always ran aground."
"I know Arabia, One Thousand and One Nights, and the story of Sinbad!" Cat added.
"Baghdad?" Haha, I can go abroad.
"By the way, how is your English level?" Xiaoxue asked.
Then everyone's eyes focused on Brother Peng.
He looked slightly embarrassed and said, "Don't look at me. I study history, and all I read are translated documents. I've taken the CET-4 exam nine times and haven't passed it yet."
"Damn it, how did you pass the sixth grade?" I wondered.
"You know this." Brother Peng said with a shy smile.
Xiaoxue sat aside and was speechless.
"It's simple. I'll find two people who speak good English and spend money to find a translator." I said.
"Forget it, I'll pair you with two professional translators. Those who have just graduated are not good enough. One is an English translator and the other is an Arabic translator. But you can only organize eight people yourself." Xiaoxue obviously doesn't care about us.
confidence.
"Okay, no problem. Cheers!"
After having enough wine and food, we took the car and left, leaving Xiaoxue sitting there alone. A figure came out of nowhere and said easily: "Can they do it?"
Chapter completed!
