After the old man left, Xu Bing asked Meng Lu: "Why did the price increase? This seems to be a taboo, right?"
Xu Bing has performed many tasks before, but he did not charge money. How can he collect money for tasks sent by the chief?: Read the novel
But this does not mean that he is unfamiliar with the rules of the killer world. On the contrary, because he has to greet many masters in the killer world, he is very familiar with the rules of the killer world.
Moreover, there were many well-informed people who wanted to ask Xu Bing to kill people, but they were all rejected by Xu Bing.[
So he is considered a legend in the killer world, but not a real killer.
But so what?
In the world of assassins, there is no reason to temporarily increase the price after accepting a task? This is really a taboo.
But Monroe still asked for a price increase, and the price went up by US$10 million, which Xu Bing found hard to understand.
Therefore, he wanted to ask Menglu why.
Menglu smiled and said: "My dear, if you are going to take action this time, shouldn't you get some reward? Don't worry, if you can really make money from the 30 million this time, we will split it 50-50. No, you will get 2,000."
Ten thousand, I need ten million, don’t you just need the money?”
Xu Bing smiled bitterly and frowned.
He does need money, and 20 million, converted into Chinese currency, means more than 100 million. This is really not a small amount of money. Xu Bing will really be moved.
But he has never really been a killer, so making money by killing people was a bit difficult for him to accept for a while.
It's just that he can't refuse.
This temptation is too great, he really needs this money!
"It seems that you don't object, so how about this? My dear, I still have some savings. Although I have squandered all the money I made in the past, I can still collect at least 50 million US dollars. I will lend you all.
How about it?" Monroe said again: "However, this money is just lent to you, and you have to pay it back to me in the future."
Xu Bing was a little touched. Meng Lu was determined to follow him, so naturally she wouldn't care about the 50 million US dollars. However, she did not say that she would give it to Xu Bing immediately because she wanted to consider Xu Bing's feelings.
Bing was a man. According to her understanding of the Chinese people, it was generally difficult for Chinese men to accept gifts from women, so she said she would lend it to Xu Bing.
I know it in my heart, but Xu Bing is really not a good-looking person. After staying with Xu Fan for a long time, he has become very realistic.
"Are you really willing to lend me so much money?" Xu Bing said with a smile.
"Of course, if you are willing to borrow it, but I will charge interest in the future." Meng Lu said with a smile.
Xu Bing nodded and said: "Okay, I'm just asking for it. It seems that I have gained a lot from this trip to London."
Fifty million U.S. dollars, plus the 20 million U.S. dollars he can earn this time, converted into Chinese currency, is at least 500 million U.S. dollars. Although it is still far from the goal, at least a lot has been raised, Xu Bing
Of course I'm happy.
The two chatted for a while, both in a good mood, and then waited for the employer's reply.[
Two hours later, the employer finally sent an email, agreeing to Monroe's request and sending an initial payment of US$5 million.
"Did they really agree?" Xu Bing was a little reluctant: "If I had known, I would have asked for more money."
Khan, he is also a man who only wants to see money.
Monroe shook his head and said with a smile: "This is their bottom line. If they ask for more, the business will not be done. If the business is not done, then we will have to deal with the Terminator. You say, this business can be done."
Wouldn't it be too much of a loss? In the words of your Chinese nation, what does this mean?"
"If you fail to steal the chicken, you will lose a handful of rice, you will lose your wife, you will lose your troops, and you will not be able to eat the mutton, but you will be covered in embarrassment!" Xu Bing said with a smile.
Meng "Lu" nodded repeatedly saying yes, yes, that's it.
In the evening, the two took out the map again and began to make plans for tomorrow's reception. Because Xu Bing also had money, he became more proactive.
In fact, Xu Bing is really good at things like killing people, but the key now is to kill people in public without causing trouble. This requires skills.
The two discussed it for a long time, but did not come up with a result.
In the evening, Xu Bing and Meng Lu went out to have a Chinese meal together, which was Meng Lu's request. Meng Lu then took Xu Bing around the streets of London.
When we returned to the hotel, it was already past eleven o'clock in the evening. As soon as we stepped out of the elevator, we found a young man waiting at the door of their room.
This young man is only in his twenties. He is very smart and wears a very decent suit. But at a glance, he can tell that he is not a big shot, but rather a follower of some big shot.
"Hello, Miss Monroe."
The young man came over and bowed politely to Menglu.
"Who are you?" Meng Lu didn't recognize the other person.
The young man introduced himself: "Oh, you can call me Philly. I am Mr. Carlos's servant. I am here to send you the invitation you must bring to tomorrow's reception!"
After saying that, Feili took out a shiny golden post from his arms and handed it to Monroe with both hands. His eyes frequently fell on Monroe's breasts, and he was probably also fascinated by Monroe.
"Stayed.
Menglu took the post and glanced at it, then frowned and said: "Oh, I also brought my bodyguard with me tomorrow. Excuse me, does he need an invitation?"
"According to regulations, bodyguards are not allowed to enter the manor, so they don't need an invitation." Feili said with a smile.
Monroe frowned and said, "But, he is my best friend. I hope he can accompany me in?"
Phil seemed a little embarrassed, but he hesitated for a moment and said: "I think if it were someone else, it would definitely not work, but the master has told me that Miss Monroe is his most distinguished guest. What's special about you?"
I think the master will definitely agree to your request. I think you can bring him in tomorrow without posting anything. I will explain it clearly to the staff then."
"Okay, thank you." Meng Lu smiled.[
"Oh, it's my greatest honor to serve Miss Monroe. I also have a small wish. I hope I can get Miss Monroe's autograph. Is that okay?" Feili's eyes glowed, a little bit.
An excited yet somewhat cautious request.
Monroe agreed painfully, and Philly immediately took out a small book from his pocket and asked Monroe to sign it for him, and then left with satisfaction.
Back in the room, Xu Bing sighed: "It seems that you are also very popular in London!"
Since they had to deal with the Terminator tomorrow, the two of them didn't do anything crazy at night and rested early.
At dawn, Menglu wrapped around Xu Bing's body again like an octopus.
The two got up, and the waiter of the hotel brought them breakfast. After eating, the two went downstairs. At the door of the hotel, there was already a Bentley parent's version of the RV parked waiting at the door, and the back door of the Bentley was opened. Posts were sent last night.
Feili came over and stood at the door with a smile.
It seems that Carlos really regarded Monroe as the most distinguished guest, and actually sent a car to pick her up, but he didn't know if other guests received this kind of treatment.
Xu Bing is still wearing the same clothes as yesterday. He looks particularly like a bodyguard, no, like an Italian mafia. He has the style of a master, but he is not wearing glasses today.
And Monroe has her own outfit. After putting on the skirt, half of her cleavage is exposed, which is particularly tempting. She gently holds the hem of the skirt, and Monroe looks like
The queen who walked out of the palace was full of queenly energy.
After getting in the car, Monroe couldn't help but smile and asked Feili, who was driving in front of him: "Excuse me, do all the guests need to be picked up?"
Feili smiled and said: "Of course not. Only the most distinguished guests can enjoy such treatment, such as you, Miss Monroe."
Meng Lu smiled, chatted with Feili for a few words, thanked her, and stopped talking. Xu Bing sat next to her, like a piece of wood, just observing carefully and being a very dedicated person.
bodyguard.
Soon, the car stopped at the entrance of a manor.
This manor is really big. It is estimated to cover an area of at least a thousand acres. It has mountains, rivers, golf courses, green areas everywhere, grape trellises, gardens, etc.
At the door, there are more than a dozen bodyguards strictly checking each guest's invitation, which is equivalent to checking the identity of each guest.
The Weiss family, where Carlos Ang belongs, has an astonishing influence in the UK. It is one of the most wealthy families in London and has a long history. If Carlos Ang wants to hold a cocktail party, he will naturally be responsible for the safety of every guest.
Not far outside the gate, there is a rest area made of parasols. At this time, many people have gathered there. Some are smoking, some are drinking, and some are eating desserts and fruits. However, those who stay here,
They are all drivers or bodyguards of some guests, and they cannot enter the manor.
With Feili here, Xu Bing and Meng Lu naturally entered the manor smoothly.
Parking the car at the huge parking lot on the right, Xu Bing and Meng Lu were asked to get out of the car and taken to the huge manor not far away.
Calling it a castle is actually a bit exaggerated, but the main building has a long history and exudes an atmosphere of vicissitudes. The entire building covers an estimated area of several acres. It is thick at the bottom and pointed at the top. It is cylindrical in shape and looks very much like a church or a vertical building.
Several huge bamboo shoots on the ground are unique in shape, exuding solemnity and grandeur.
Bodyguards can be seen everywhere in the manor. Everyone is patrolling around with a serious and careful look. Some people are holding wolf dogs in their hands, and everyone is holding a walkie-talkie. When groups of three or five gather together, someone whispers instructions to them.
What are you wearing?
The security work in this manor was done well, but Xu Bing didn't care about this. He and Monroe walked towards the castle together.
At the door, there are several round white pillars that can only be hugged by two people. There is a platform with an area of about 200 square meters. There is another security check here before everyone is allowed in.
Many people have come to the hall, and many people are entering one after another outside.
The scale of this cocktail party was not particularly large, but the guests invited were all of high status. Xu Bing had attended similar cocktail parties before, so he didn't feel that it was unfamiliar.
There is a piano in the corner of the hall, and someone is playing a very popular and retro movement at a very high level.
In the hall, men and women dressed as servants can be seen everywhere delivering drinks on trays. Not far away, there are shelves for wine and tables for fruit snacks.
Feili briefly introduced the reception process and the internal structure and settings of the manor to Xu Bing and Monroe, and then he walked away. It seemed that his job was not here, but outside.
Now Xu Bing knows that this building has four floors. In addition to the lobby on the first floor, there are many lounges, home theaters, and conversation halls on the second floor for guests to rest or chat. In this
At a high-level cocktail party, many guests will discuss some business matters after getting to know each other. They need a quiet environment, and the second floor is prepared for these guests.
Therefore, there are very few staff on the second floor and it is relatively quiet.
As for the third floor and above, it is the private area belonging to the owner and is not allowed to go up.
Xu Bing and Meng Lu both casually brought a glass of wine and were about to chat when many guests came over to say hello to Meng Lu.
After all, Monroe had a huge influence in upper class society, and many people knew her.
She hugged and kissed these people politely, while Xu Bing was jealous.
Fortunately, these people just greeted Monroe politely and then dispersed.
"Are you jealous?" Meng Lu walked to Xu Bing's side and laughed softly.
"No, I just don't understand your Western etiquette. Do you have to kiss on the cheek to show politeness and respect?" Xu Bing said with a smile.
"Oh, this is the cultural difference. You see, I am trying my best to learn the cultural etiquette of China. I think you should also learn our Western etiquette and understand our culture as much as possible. Are you right?" Meng'
Lu said with a wink.
Xu Bing curled his lips and did not answer.
"Oh, dear, look, that is the protagonist of this cocktail party and the owner of this place, Carlos!" Monroe said suddenly.
Xu Bing followed Menglu's line of sight and immediately saw a man coming down from the second floor. This man was probably in his fifties, wearing a suit, and came down holding his arm.
, is a beautiful "woman" in her thirties. Of course, in Xu Bing's eyes, a beautiful "woman" in the eyes of Westerners is really not a beautiful "woman". The only impression left by that woman on Xu Bing was
Yes, her eyes are very bright and charming, as if water is dripping from her eyes.
As soon as Carlos Ang appeared, almost all the guests couldn't help but look at her. The beautiful woman next to him was too beautiful. Although she was not as beautiful as Monroe, she still caused quite a stir.
