"Pamora is not close to here. If you live there, you will spend all your time in the car going back and forth these days."
When Holly heard John's words, she was a little amused that he misremembered the place name, and happened to see him wiping his body again.
It has to be said that although John's figure is a bit out of shape, he is not small, which is quite rare especially for his age.
"Let's keep it simple. I have an extra spare room at home in Luojishan. Although the room is not big, you can spend more time with the children."
Holly didn't know whether she saw John's big body or thought that it would be difficult for him to come over and travel a long way.
Anyway, she hesitated for a moment and made another suggestion.
"Will the children let me accompany them?"
When John heard Holly mention the child, a heartfelt smile appeared on his face for the first time.
As a police officer who had a bad relationship with his superiors, John always stood aside for the good things in the police station and could not avoid any drudgery, so he rarely had free time to spend with his children.
In the past, children preferred to be with their mother rather than playing with him.
When John heard that the children wanted him to accompany them, his heart suddenly melted.
"Why not, in fact, I would too"
Although Holly is already considering divorcing John, they have been together for more than ten years, so it is impossible to say that they have no feelings at all.
Not to mention they have two children.
Hearing that Holly seemed to want to ease their relationship, John couldn't help but curl up the corner of his mouth.
"Wow, your boobs are so big!"
"Haha, isn't it much bigger than Holly's!"
Just when John was about to say something nice, suddenly two voices, a man and a woman, came from outside the door.
Bang——
Then the bathroom door was opened, and Ellis broke in from the outside holding a woman.
"Ah! Sorry! Sorry!"
The two were making waves passionately, and Ellis was touching the woman. After seeing someone in the bathroom, they apologized and left.
After hearing and seeing this scene, John's mood, which had just improved, suddenly turned sharply.
"By the way, why didn't I know when did your surname change?"
John suddenly brought up the matter of Holly changing her last name.
"Why--"
Holly and John have been together for more than ten years. When they saw each other like this, they knew that he was ready to cause trouble.
So she sighed, and then explained helplessly.
"I remember telling you many times before that this is a small company and they believe that married women are unreliable."
But before Holly could finish explaining the reasons she had said so many times before, John still felt very uncomfortable.
"Is it a sin for you to marry me or is it difficult for you to accept the last name of McLean? Holly, even when you are not at work, we still get through life."
John also started talking about the same old stuff.
Holly interrupted equally impatiently: "Why are you talking about this again? This job opportunity is very rare for me."
When John heard what Holly said, he immediately became angry: "So you can accept it no matter what the consequences, right? Maybe it is because of it that it changed your understanding of marriage."
Holly: "You don't know me at all!"
John: “You don’t understand marriage either!”
The two of them became excited for a moment.
Da da da--
At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
"Ms. Yoshinaro, Mr. Aoki is looking for you!"
Aoki's secretary suddenly appeared and interrupted the quarrel between the two.
"I'll be back in a while, please calm down first."
Holly took a deep breath again, controlled her temper, then turned and walked out.
John, who was originally angry, immediately calmed down after being interrupted like this. He immediately regretted and banged his head against the wall.
Dong dong dong——
"Well done, John, you are so mature!"
While John tortured himself, he couldn't help but secretly regret it.
He had already taken the initiative to ease the relationship with Holly, but his temporary jealousy had brought the relationship to a standstill. John obviously regretted it.
Click——
Just when John banged his head against the wall, Zhang Pin walked in from outside.
His purpose of coming here has been achieved. Aoki specially arranged for a few young girls to toast Zhang Pin while he was checking the accounts.
Sir Zhang originally had expectations for these so-called well-known entertainers in their younger days.
But after taking a look, Sir Zhang suddenly discovered that several of them were actually "teachers" in the entertainment industry that he was familiar with.
After confirming, he naturally lost interest, so after being casually polite, he excused himself to wash his hands and walked out.
He had already made plans to leave directly after using the bathroom.
Although in his previous life, he had watched the performances of several of these teachers, and even in some midnight dreams, these teachers had become the heroines in his stories.
But in this life, Sir Zhang obviously has no idea of anything happening with these teachers.
Unexpectedly, he opened the bathroom door and saw John banging his head against the wall.
When he heard the door opening, John also turned his head and looked over.
The two looked at each other, and John immediately curled up his toes in embarrassment.
"I did not see anything."
Zhang Pin shook his head and took the initiative to speak without waiting for John to explain anything.
He and John didn't know each other, and he wasn't interested in knowing why the other person banged his head against the wall. Of course, he was not interested in laughing at the other person's weird behavior.
"Don't get me wrong, I just had a headache."
John also followed up with an explanation at this time, although this explanation was unreliable at first glance.
But when John was curling up his toes in embarrassment, he suddenly found that he really didn't seem that nervous anymore.
It seems that guy's nine years of flying experience turned out to be real.
A thought flashed through John's mind.
Da da da--
Bang bang bang——
At this moment, there was a sudden noise outside the hall.
"What's going on? Did someone set off firecrackers?"
Sir Zhang's first reaction when he heard the commotion was that people outside were overjoyed and someone set off firecrackers in the building.
"No, it's gunfire!"
Different from Zhang Pin's reaction, as a native of America and a policeman for more than ten years, John would not think that the sound of firecrackers was the sound of a bullet coming out of a gun.
As he spoke, he took the initiative to walk to the door and opened a gap.
Zhang Pin saw John's move and followed him. The two looked out and found that there were seven or eight gunmen standing in the hall. At this time, several gunmen were raising their guns and shooting towards the ceiling.
"ah!"
Upon hearing the gunfire, everyone who was originally in high spirits immediately became frightened and fled in all directions like birds and beasts.
The gunmen who fired quickly took the initiative and drove all the fleeing people back to the hall one by one.
Seeing this scene, Sir Zhang was a little stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that he would encounter robbers just by attending a random banquet. It was late at night, these guys didn't sleep, but they were still so dedicated. They were indeed America.
ah.
"Run quickly!"
While Sir Zhang was stunned, John did not hesitate and chose to run away while the gunmen in the hall dispersed to arrest people.
"Isn't the woman being dragged your wife?"
Sir Zhang looked in shock at John, who was running toward the fire stairs next to the bathroom with his body lowered, his butt raised, and no shoes on, and he quickly reminded him.
The two met at the elevator entrance before, and Sir Zhang knew that the other person was also an invited guest at tonight's banquet.
The reason why Holly was not there at that time was to prepare information about Zhongfu Group for Zhang Pin, so Zhang Pin also knew Holly.
"There are many of them and they have guns."
Upon hearing Zhang Pin's inquiry, John kept walking and didn't look back. Instead, he ran faster.
Sir Zhang originally didn't care much about the appearance of several gunmen. With his ability and surprise, if he really wanted to deal with these gunmen, it would not be difficult.
But he was more curious about the purpose of these gunmen coming here.
Looking at the number of people and weapons and equipment dispatched by the opponent, it is obvious that they are preparing to make a big move.
Zhang Pin happened to know that Zhongfu Group had just recently acquired a bearer bond worth US$640 million.
It stands to reason that with an investment like this, only a very small number of people, even within the Zhongfu Group, would know about the situation. As a result, a robbery happened by chance.
In this case, it is difficult not to think that there is an insider.
Because of this, Sir Zhang thought not to come forward for the time being and wait and see what the situation was like.
Of course, besides worrying about the mole, he was also interested in the bond.
After all, it is a bearer bond worth 640 million U.S. dollars. In terms of value, it is higher than 640 million U.S. dollars in cash.
Because bonds still have maturity income, and with such a large amount of cash, it is difficult for ordinary institutions to provide safe deposit income.
As for whether Zhongfu Group loses this bond, it will affect the fund-raising due at the end of the month, and thus affect the valuation of the entire company. Sir Zhang naturally does not need to worry about this.
First of all, Zhang Pin must know that Zhongfu Group must have insured such a large amount of bearer bonds.
And now is the critical moment for Ohashi Bank to acquire a stake in Zhongfu Group.
If the other party is short of money, it is actually good news for Bridge Bank.
After all, since the other party is short of money, it is more urgent to invest in Daqiao Bank, and Daqiao Group will be able to take the initiative and have more say.
As for whether Daqiao Group can fill the gap of one billion US dollars, and how to run Zhongfu Group after filling this gap, there is no need for Zhang Pin to worry.
He believed that since Chen Tianqiao chose Zhongfu Group, he must have prepared for the worst.
After all, Zhongfu Group has been able to operate for so many years, and the people within it cannot be all fools.
The other party must also know the real purpose of Daqiao Group's investment.
Because the hall was full of fleeing people, the departure of Zhang Pin and John did not attract the attention of the gunmen.
"Good evening, gentlemen and ladies. First of all, I'm very sorry to disturb your party, but please don't worry. We are just here to ask for money. As long as you cooperate, I guarantee that your life safety will not be threatened. But if you don't cooperate,
If so, then I have to pray that you can stop the bullet."
Just when the gunman brought most of the people into the hall, the professor among the gunmen stood up.
The professor himself looks personable and his voice is very magnetic.
Coupled with what he said, many people calmed down immediately.
Seeking wealth rather than life is simply the best news for most migrant workers.
Not to mention that America has always been popular about spending in advance. Despite their glamorous appearance, these workers actually don’t have much money in their pockets.
Even for many people, if their wages are paid a few days late, their credit cards may be overdue for that month.
So they are not afraid of being robbed.
And even for people who have savings, it is completely acceptable for them to lose their money and wipe out the disaster if they encounter this kind of situation.
After all, the world is big and your own life is the most important.
So soon, the originally rioting crowd quickly calmed down, and even some people who were originally hiding in various office conference rooms also took the initiative to stand up.
The room was so big. Rather than being found by the gunmen and then beaten, they would rather cooperate with the other party to rob and leave. Maybe they could continue to play the second half.
Among them, Ellis, who had just taken off his pants, wanted to take the initiative to talk to the professor.
"Very good, thank you for your cooperation."
But at this time, the professor obviously ignored the other party's intention.
Before Ellis could get closer, one of the strong gunmen gave Ellis the butt of his rifle while he was still standing.
"We are worthy of being social elites. I hope that everyone can be so cooperative in the coming time. I sincerely hope that everyone can have a pleasant dream at night."
The professor is very satisfied with everyone's cooperation, so he doesn't mind showing some kindness to everyone.
Then he took out a notebook and looked at his subordinates around him.
These subordinates quickly reported a number one by one.
"Very good, everyone is here."
When the professor heard the numbers reported by his subordinates, he nodded with satisfaction.
They were obviously well prepared. They even had a list of the employees of Zhongfu Group attending the party tonight.
"Then let's start with today's first question, Mr. Aoki, President of the America Division of Zhongfu Group. Who is Mr. Aoki?"
The professor lowered his head to look at his notebook. When he heard his question, the crowd all lowered their heads. It was very similar to the students who hid themselves after hearing the teacher ask for names in class.
"Aoki Matsushita, born in 1937, immigrated to San Pedro, California with his family in 1939, spent time in an internment camp from 1942 to 1943, was admitted to college in 1955, and received
He received a scholarship from the University of California, received a law degree from the university seven years later, and received an MBA from Harvard in 1970. He has a happy family and is the father of five children."
When the professor saw everyone's performance, he immediately started to read the information he had received.
As he read, he focused on the older Asians in the crowd.
"That's enough. Who are you and what is the purpose of coming here? I am Aoki."
Aoki heard that the other party was so familiar with his information, but it was not clear that the other party was well prepared.
Besides, now that everyone in the company has been wiped out, it will only be a matter of time before he is found.
So now he simply stood up and wanted to see if he could talk to the other party.
"Mr. Aoki, I've heard of you for a long time. Nice to meet you!"
Seeing Aoki stand up, the professor had a smile on his face.
