Ning Zhe met Section Chief Pan by chance at a breakfast shop and successfully got out Pei Xiangtong's phone number. When the other party saw that Ning Zhe knew Pei Xiangtong very well and even knew the name of her mentor, she did not doubt that he was there.

Ning Zhe got Pei Xiangtong's phone number and waited until after nine o'clock in the morning before dialing.

Pei Xiangtong's voice soon came from the other side of the phone: "Hello, who are you?"

Ning Zhe was worried that Pei Xiangtong's phone equipment would have a monitoring device, so he lowered his voice and said, "Old classmate, long time no see!"

Pei Xiangtong asked in surprise: "Old classmate? Who are you?"

Ning Zhe added: "Why can't you even hear my voice? You have forgotten that when we were on No. 87, we went to the oasis in the refugee area with Professor Xie to conduct scientific research and surveys!"

Pei Xiangtong was stunned on the phone for almost five seconds before he said, "I remembered, you are Zhang Jun? Right?"

"Yes, I am Zhang Jun!" When Ning Zhe heard what Pei Xiangtong said, he knew that her phone was indeed monitored, and then added: "Old classmate, I am currently on a business trip on the 82nd and will leave this afternoon.

Well, we haven’t seen each other for many years, do you have time to come out and meet me?"

"Are you here at No. 82?" Pei Xiangtong was stunned again, and then replied in a calm tone: "After all, we haven't seen each other for several years. How about this? I'll treat you to lunch. We'll be in the city at 11 o'clock noon.

We’ll meet at the Western Restaurant of the Intercity Hotel. Do you have time?”

Ning Zhe agreed: "No problem, I will definitely be there."

…

No. 82 is not a big fortress, and it is very different from fortresses No. 84 and 87 in terms of urban construction.

The InterContinental Hotel is the largest hotel at No. 82 and the tallest building. It has fifteen floors. Sitting in the Western restaurant on the top floor, you can have a panoramic view of most of the city. However, there are no windows facing the government agencies in the city.

.

When Ning Zhe rushed to the hotel, Pei Xiangtong was already waiting at the door. Seeing him appear, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes: "Ning Zhe, it's really you. How did you enter the fortress?"

"We've already come in, so there's no point in talking about it anymore, right?" Ning Zhe paused: "When I called you, I was always worried that you wouldn't understand what I meant."

"Why don't you understand? When I was an intern at No. 87, I only went to the oasis once, and my only classmate Gao Shengrong has been left there by you." Pei Xiangtong looked at the guests coming and going in the hotel and whispered.

: "This is not the place to talk. I have booked a private room. Come with me."

Ning Zhe followed Pei Xiangtong into the private room and showed a smile: "Long time no see."

"You just thought of saying hello now?" Pei Xiangtong also laughed: "You are so brave. Don't you know that you are already a frequent guest in Pei's newspapers and TV? The revolutionary army is the culprit of the civil war.

, now even the three-year-old child in the fortress knows that you are the Pei family’s biggest enemy! How dare you come into the capital!"

"Even if I am the enemy of the entire Pei family, at least we are still friends." Ning Zhe sat at the table and said calmly: "You have been to the refugee area and have seen how cruel it is. I am a refugee myself.

He was born and everything he did was just to make the lives of refugees less difficult!

If we really want to talk about a hostile relationship, do you think the plutocrats would hate me more, a refugee who resisted for survival, or do the refugees hate the plutocrats who would step on our heads and enslave us more, destroying even oases and letting us live in the desert?

?”

"From both sides' respective perspectives, no one is wrong." Pei Xiangtong sighed: "I'm sorry that I can't criticize the plutocrats with you, because I am a vested interest in this system, and my ideas and practices,

It cannot change this system. I don’t think you came to me to discuss the merits of chaebols, right?"

"I did not come to you to discuss the plutocratic system, but I do have something to ask of you." Ning Zhe said straight to the point: "I entered Fortress No. 82 this time specifically for you. I want to talk to you.

Talk to your father."

"So I need to correct you. You are not here for me, but for my father." Pei Xiangtong frowned and looked at Ning Zhe: "Why do you think I will definitely help you?"

"I don't think you will definitely help me, I'm just asking for your help." Ning Zhe looked at Pei Xiangtong seriously: "I really have something very important to talk to your father about. It's about the relationship between Jin Qinhuan and the Pei family.

How the relationship between them will develop, and it may even change the direction of the Pei family's war."

Pei Xiangtong responded stiffly: "Then it's even less possible for me to help you. We are indeed friends, and you have saved my life more than once. For personal reasons, I can treat you to a meal and tell you

Your identity will be kept confidential, but we have nothing to discuss about matters related to the chaebol, so you should request a formal meeting in your official capacity."

"You should know that the Pei family does not recognize Jin Qinhuan's revolutionary military government at all. We cannot negotiate with them through formal channels." Ning Zhe looked at Pei Xiangtong seriously: "I must have a negotiation with the top management of the Pei family.

opportunity to negotiate, and among all the people I know, you are the only one who can help me do this."

"I think I should regretfully tell you that you have found the wrong person." Pei Xiangtong shook his head seriously: "My current identity is an official of the Pei family. I have to think about the plutocrats, and my father is a soldier.

Commander Fang, you must keep yourselves clean, I cannot provide you with an opportunity to negotiate privately, otherwise my father will be stained once he is taken advantage of!"

Along the way, Ning Zhe originally thought that asking Pei Xiangtong to help would be the simplest thing. Unexpectedly, she had no intention of helping. He sighed: "It's ridiculous that power, this big vat, can actually make such a simple person like you...

Changed the color.”

"If what you call innocence is that you expect me to sell out the interests of the chaebol, I'm sorry, but I would rather not be innocent anymore."

Pei Xiangtong had no feelings about Ning Zhe's words: "You have to understand that I am a chaebol myself, and I am also a chaebol noble. Maybe my help in the past caused you to have some misunderstandings about me. I am a kind person, but I am also a kind person.

As a person with a bottom line, I will never betray the Bae family, no matter when."

"I never wanted you to betray the interests of the chaebol. I just didn't want Jin Qinhuan and the Pei family to become pawns in the hands of the rebels." Ning Zhe paused for a moment: "You must understand one thing.

The purpose of my trip is not to start a war, but to avoid it. I believe this is the most reasonable choice for both of us."

After listening to Ning Zhe's words, Pei Xiangtong thought for almost ten seconds and took a deep breath: "The rebels are attacking fiercely, and there are always people within the chaebol who criticize my father. Your identity is too sensitive, and there is absolutely no way I can arrange for you to meet.
