The group of people came to the banquet hall located to the west of the Presidential Palace. When Lu Xiaozhan entered the door, he subconsciously scanned the entire venue with his mind, but unexpectedly found that no one was lurking here. There were only a few people in the entire banquet hall.
But from the looks of it, they are just the president's bodyguards.
"Did I guess wrong? Didn't Sam plan to stage a coup?" Lu Xiaozhan couldn't help but be a little surprised.
As the door opened, Lu Xiaozhan took the chefs and carried plates of dishes inside. There was only one dining table in the middle of the banquet hall. There were only three people sitting at the table. Sitting on the main seat was a man with hair.
The slightly bald middle-aged man was chatting with the other two people with a serious smile. The person sitting next to the main seat was also a middle-aged man. He was obese and extremely bloated. It looked like he was living a pampered life.
Okay host, and opposite the host seat, that is, in the host and guest seats, sits an old man with gray hair in a suit and tie.
As soon as Lu Xiaozhan's eyes turned to the old man, the blood in his body suddenly boiled. His pupils shrank involuntarily: "Sam, old bastard!"
A group of chefs began to place kitchen utensils and dishes there. The president turned around and looked at Sam with a smile and said: "Igorev, do you know why I insist on entertaining you here? Because my
The chef has great skills and I believe he will surprise you.”
Igorev, also known as Sam, also smiled and said: "Mr. President, you don't have to be so polite. Besides, it is my responsibility to regulate the border waters of our country. Why do you need to award me with such a big fanfare?"
The president raised a hand and waved: "No, no, no, this is what it should be. Come on, let's eat first. The reporters are still outside waiting for us to show up." After saying that, he waved to Lu Xiaozhan, "Hank
Si, it’s time to serve, what delicious food have you prepared for us today?”
Lu Xiaozhan bowed slightly: "Okay, Mr. President, today's main course is pan-fried salmon with lime juice, and the dessert is cream brûlée."
The president raised his hands and smiled: "Okay, this is my favorite delicacy, let's get started."
Lu Xiaozhan nodded and came to the table where the griddle was placed. He arranged it a little and started to light the fire. After a while, the iron plate of the griddle was burned red and hot. Lu Xiaozhan put his hand around it and poured the oil into it.
He brought the pot over, poured some olive oil on the iron plate, carefully took out a piece of pre-processed salmon from the nearby vessel, and placed it on the iron plate with a sizzle.
A burst of fragrant aroma suddenly overflowed. The president was about to say something more to Sam, but he stopped, pointed at Lu Xiaozhan and said with a smile: "Igrev, every time my appetite is not good, Han
Kes always has a way to appetize me, and just like now, I can't wait to taste this delicious food in his hands."
Sam looked at Lu Xiaozhan's flexible hands, spraying brandy for one moment, and turning the salmon over for another. His movements were skillful and graceful, and he couldn't help but nod and smile, "I've heard of Hanks' name a long time ago, and today
It seems to be the style of a master, and I am looking forward to this delicious food."
The middle-aged fat man didn't say anything, he just stared at the piece of fish that Lu Xiaozhan was flipping over, looking like he was about to drool.
On the surface, Lu Xiaozhan was cooking seriously, but in fact he had already begun to use his mind to repeatedly search the area around him. In his opinion, if Sam had not arranged manpower here, he must have made careful arrangements for the overall situation.
, if he said that he had no idea about today's meal and was just here to have a meal, he would never believe it, because he had known a few years ago that Sam was an extremely ambitious person.
On the way here just now, Lu Xiaozhan had searched both sides of the passage, but except for Qing Yi who was hiding in it, he didn't find any other figures at all. This was where he was a little confused.
Suddenly, his attention paused. Outside the door of the banquet hall was a large lawn. Although it was cold weather now, these lawns had obviously been specially cared for and looked very lush and green. Of course, this was not something Lu Xiaozhan paid special attention to.
In fact, the place where Lu Xiaozhan’s attention stayed was under the lawn.
Lu Xiaozhan has not specifically tested how far his willpower can spread, but now he can clearly find that more than a dozen holes have been dug under the lawn. On the surface, it is still an ordinary place.
There is a wide lawn, but under those lovely grasses, there are more than a dozen people hiding.
"I asked why I couldn't find you. It turns out you are all fucking rats!" Lu Xiaozhan sneered in his heart, and then his mind was spinning.
The more than thirty cold fire mercenaries hiding in the outer area have given him a headache. After all, they are all elemental warriors. Plus the perverted hellfire, it means that there are more than thirty perverted semi-heroes.
Superman surrounded the place.
Now he discovered that these dozen people were hidden in places where others could not find them. Obviously they were the remaining K5 personnel who disappeared under Lu Xiaozhan's nose. If this was the case, it seemed that the president was not having an easy life today.
These killers are beyond what his bodyguards can handle.
While Lu Xiaozhan was cooking, he was thinking about countermeasures. Nothing must happen to the president, otherwise he would be inseparable from being here. Moreover, Sam was here, and Lu Xiaozhan had been looking for him for a long time.
, let alone letting him escape easily.
There are only so many people on his side, which means that each person has to deal with more than three elemental warriors. This is a very entangled and headache problem for him. At this point, he can only take one step at a time. Fortunately, he is now
Beside the President and Sam before they realize he's a fake chef.
The president watched Lu Xiaozhan busy with his hands flying and joked: "Hanks, is it almost ready? Our finance minister doesn't seem to have lunch, I'm afraid you have to hurry up."
The fat middle-aged man turned his head when he heard this and said with a smile: "Mr. President, I really haven't had lunch. I have been busy working on the financial budget for the new year all day today."
Lu Xiaozhan picked up the frying spatula in his hand and put a piece of golden-brown and fragrant salmon on the dinner plate. He carefully arranged the side dishes and placed them one by one for the President, Sam and the Chief Financial Officer.
before.
"I'm sorry, Mr. President, sirs, I kept you waiting for so long." Lu Xiaozhan finished serving the dishes and stood beside the president with his hands down, a smile that was neither humble nor overbearing.
The president rubbed his hands and looked at the main dish in front of him, and said with a smile: "It's settled, come on, let's start first!" As he said that, he picked up the knife and fork, cut a small piece into his mouth, and started chewing.
His eyes lit up and he praised loudly, "That's great! Hanks, you seem to be in better condition today than before, and the quality of your dishes is much higher than before!"
The Chief of Finance looked even worse. He completely lacked the qualities that a high-ranking official of the country should have. He chewed the food with his hands and mumbled in agreement: "It's really wonderful, it's really wonderful. Mr. President, your
The chef is really good.”
Only Sam casually took a few bites and then slowed down, but also gave a few praises. Lu Xiaozhan bowed slightly and said, "Thank you, Mr. President and the two officers for your compliments."
The president smiled and waved his hand: "Hanks, take a rest first, let's chat for a while, and then you can serve dessert later."
"Okay, Mr. President." Lu Xiaozhan responded and stepped aside far away, standing guard by the griddle with lowered eyebrows and eyes.
"Igrev, I invited you two here today because I have other things I want to talk to you two about." Not long after, the president finished his portion of salmon on his plate and wiped his mouth.
He raised his head and smiled at Sam, "It won't be long before a new round of general elections begins. What do you two think?"
Lu Xiaozhan seemed to be meditating in a corner, but in fact he had already focused his attention here. Hearing what the president said, he couldn't help but chuckle in his heart: "Here we go, the president went straight to the point without any detours."
The Chief Financial Officer quickly put down his knife and fork, wiped his mouth and replied: "Yes, yes, the official start date of the general election will be in two months."
Sam smiled faintly: "Of course we will remember such a big thing. What do you think, Mr. President?"
The president waved his hand and said with a smile: "As long as it is good for the country and the people, anyone can be the president. I have no idea of re-election. Besides, the president is not a good job. I have been doing it for so many years.
Already very tired."
Sam was stunned: "Oh? Mr. President, what do you mean by asking this..."
The president looked at Sam with a smile and said slowly: "I just want to ask Iglev, do you want to participate in the election? In my opinion, you are very promising."
Sam seemed not to have expected that the president would say such a thing, and laughed and said: "Mr. President, I am only in charge of national defense. For me, managing national security is the only thing I like to do. The position of president is not suitable for me.
"
"Oh..." The president nodded seemingly casually, but suddenly said coldly, "Then the research you are doing at the military base in Sparrow Mountain is also for national security?"
As soon as these words came out, even Sam and Lu Xiaozhan were stunned. Lu Xiaozhan didn't expect that this president looked mediocre, but he already knew such a secret thing as Sparrow Mountain. Sure enough, people can't be judged by appearance, and being frustrated may not necessarily mean they are good.
Really frustrated.
Sam frowned, but then smiled: "Mr. President, what is Sparrow Mountain? Why don't I know what you are talking about?"
The president took a sip of the coffee in front of him and said calmly: "Don't you know? I not only know about Sparrow Mountain, but I also know that the internationally infamous Bee is actually the organization you established. Since your subordinates are both civilized and military,
Yes, then being a president should be your minimum pursuit, right? Am I right?"
