In other words, in order to establish, develop and consolidate various business relationships and political relationships, these billionaires or multi-millionaires will build places specially used to receive or entertain internal guests and friends from all parties. To put it bluntly, it is to invite
They come to eat, drink, have fun and have fun. This kind of special place often has sauna, bowling, karaoke, dance hall, electronic games, including catering and accommodation. It also includes roulette slot machines, mahjong tables, etc. When holding an event, there will also be
Invite some "high-priced" girls to accompany you outside, and maybe also invite some female college students, famous or famous actresses and singers. It depends on the boss's strength and means in all aspects, and whether he is generous with his actions.
It's so generous. But it seems like there haven't been any events here recently. Tall chandeliers, a large pool table, an extended grand piano and a semicircular stage are all surrounding it.
, or covered with dust-proof white cloth. All the large and small windows on the four walls were closed tightly, and everything was shrouded in a claustrophobic and silent atmosphere. There was no one else in the building, only three or two young waitresses staying.
At several key positions, he looked like he was waiting for something, but also seemed bored and not waiting for anything.
...But suddenly, for some reason, a female foreman, who was also not young, but very upright and full-looking, appeared as a guide. She led them slowly upstairs, silently turning on the lights and opening the door all the way, and finally turned them on.
He was led into a small hall that looked like a music cafe, made some tea, adjusted the intensity of the background music, then bent down and quietly whispered in the ear of the man who had made an appointment with Xiao Lan before, and asked something in a very low voice.
, while using the corner of his eye, he quickly glanced at Xiao Lan.
Xiao Lan's face immediately became enthusiastic. He guessed that the female foreman was asking the man for instructions according to usual practice. Does the guest you brought need any other "services" soon? The so-called "other services"
"Service" means whether you want to find some girls to accompany you. The man immediately shook his head and waved her away vigorously.
When the female head waiter left obediently, she turned off the wall lamps that she had just turned on one by one as usual, and closed every doorway she passed one by one, leaving only the darkness and warmth that the host and guests needed behind her.
Tranquility. Just like in the past, these distinguished guests will enjoy the hustle and relaxation provided to them for free in this strange darkness and tranquility. Of course she will not know that these two people are completely different today.
, besides this darkness and tranquility, all they need is still this darkness and tranquility.
"My name is Chen Yue, and I am the deputy director of the Network Department of ats (National Emergency Response Center)."
After Xiao Lan sat down, the man opposite him didn't speak slowly until he saw that he had calmed down completely. But in this case, Xiao Lan would never be able to calm down again.
"What? Are you the Chen Yue that He Bo said?" Xiao Lan said, his whole body stood up, and the man opposite quickly asked him to relax.
Of course Xiao Lan knows about Chen Yue. He is not very old. He became the youngest deputy minister of the ATs at only 30 years old. He also has a very personal personality. Take his image in front of Xiao Lan as an example. Compared with the people around him,
The most incongruously decorated thing was the watch he was wearing. It was actually an old-fashioned mechanical watch. The chrome plating on the handle and case had peeled off in spots, and the backing on the surface had also faded.
It's yellow, and the strap is obviously no longer the original one. No matter how outdated and old it is, in the past two years, among my colleagues, no one has ever laughed at the "cowardly" and "shabby" look of this watch. Because everyone knows it.
This watch was a love token left to him by his first wife (yes, the first one) (it is said to have been passed down from his wife's family), and it was also one of the few things that he decided he could never give up at any time.
This is the most important thing in his possessions. His first wife was a policeman. His wife’s father was also a policeman. He was sent abroad on a mission that year and died in an inexplicable serious “car accident”.
The "car accident" was so serious that not even a whole body was found. Only a few ashes that were not authentic and some clothes that were brought on a business trip were brought back symbolically.
After that, Vice Minister Chen Yue actually got married three times in four years. His fourth wife was three years younger than him. She was a middle school teacher who had just started her job. She was capable, cheerful, carefree, and very considerate. She was in school every day.
There, he teaches children about "equality between men and women" and "boys must know how to respect and care for girls." However, at home, they "willingly" endure Chen Yue's extreme "macho chauvinism" and extremely typical "macho chauvinism" every day.
What Xiao Lan didn't expect was that whether it was because Chen Yue had long known that he particularly liked drinking black coffee, or because this "elite club" originally had such a hospitality program, the two of them were in the dark teahouse on the second floor.
After sitting in the small style hall for a while, the female head waiter brought them each a cup of black coffee. Although the black coffee tasted bitter, it smelled really fragrant. And the inexplicable background music came from
Wandering carefully among the dark brown square wooden pillars and large barrel-planted phoenix bamboos. The piano solo passages that appear from time to time make people jump out of this empty and slightly lonely clubhouse and experience a freshness and remoteness.
, as if two or three golden carps suddenly swam out of the half-acre of dark mountain pond, and suddenly a burst of raindrops like green beans fell.
"It's really interesting, it's actually a mechanical watch." To be honest, Xiao Lan was still a little afraid of such a person, and for a moment he didn't know how to speak.
The man raised his wrist and said, "What's wrong? I only wear a watch to tell the time, and it has no other use. So why do I need to make it so good?"
"But your lighter is from the popular American brand 'Zippo'." Xiao Lan asked, pointing to a small square box beside the table.
When Chen Yue heard Xiao Lan say the word zippo, he immediately raised his head and glanced at Xiao Lan: "I didn't expect that you would have heard of this at your age."
Xiao Lan smiled and said, "Please, our ages seem to be about the same."
After saying this, both of them laughed. Of course, Xiao Lan knew a lot about zippo lighters. Xiao Lan had seen such things at Long Xinxin's house and Ye Shuiyou's house. It is said that during the Vietnam War, American soldiers used them.
This kind of lighter was used to ignite the gasoline poured on Vietnamese civilians. This is a well-known "anecdote".
"Since you have invited me here, let's talk about things. I believe that you, the deputy director of the Internet Department, are also very busy." After glancing around, Xiao Lan had quite a lot of experience. He could distract the other party's attention by doing this.
Chen Yue picked up the coffee cup and took a few sips before saying slowly: "I'm here because of Chairman Wang's affairs."
Staring at the other party with his eyes, Xiao Lan never expected that the other party could be so direct.
"I very much hope to be able to help you. Although the person is dead, there are still many doubts about this case that have not been investigated clearly. If you want to get to the bottom of the matter as much as we do, then cooperating with us is definitely the best choice."
After waiting for a long time, Xiao Lan made sure that the other party had nothing to say, and then said: "Then even if you want to help, there must be a way to help." After listening for a while, Xiao Lan asked more directly, "What do you want us to do?
How can I help?”
"For example, that mysterious... player?"
Chen Yue hesitated for half a second, but still could not escape Xiao Lan's eyes.
"Minister Chen's approach seems to be a bit excessive?" Xiao Lan's face turned very cold for a moment and said.
After hearing this, Chen Yue smiled slightly, then changed to a position that he thought was more comfortable and said, "You can sue me however you want, but you have to think about the consequences."
Xiao Lan sneered twice and said: "Don't worry, I'm not that stupid."
The atmosphere at the beginning of the conversation was a bit tense. Xiao Lan was not stupid. From Chen Yue's words, he could easily tell that Chen Yue was very capable and spoke very well. In addition to revealing a little bit of information to Xiao Lan,
In other places, what should be strong should be strong and what should be weak should be weak, and the sense of proportion is quite good.
"That's right, I'm looking for a very mysterious player, but I haven't found it yet. And even if I find it, what will happen? As long as that guy is out, there will always be dozens of people around him. Now we even have a guild
None, how can we gather so many players who can compete with them?"
Of course, Xiao Lan no longer needs to be too secretive about finding Avengers players. Anyway, he has already had conflicts with the Zuiyin family and Danran before, and both sides know the other's purpose. At this time, even if he told Chen
What's the harm in getting more?
However, Xiao Lan also paid attention to propriety in his words. He deliberately exaggerated the difficulty of finding Avengers players in order to test Chen Yue's reaction.
"Well, I can help you a little bit," Chen Yue said with a smile on his lips.
"Then please tell me."
Unexpectedly, at this time, Chen Yue was betraying his feelings. He excused himself, saying that he had something to do, and then left in a hurry.
More than half a minute later, a text message was suddenly sent to Xiao Lan's phone. It was sent by Chen Yue himself.
"From now on, all contacts will be sent by text message reply. Never create another text message. That SUV is parked outside the club. You can go to the meeting and hand it to the doorman of the hotel where you are staying. Then all you have to do is
Yes, just hurry up and play the game with your companions."
"Ha, what's going on?" Looking at the dark night sky, Xiao Lan faced the SUV at the door and couldn't figure it out after thinking for a long time.
