Thunder Blade repeated in surprise: "Doing business?"
Lei Ren simply repeated, but unexpectedly it was understood as agreeing to do things first.
Murphy raised his eyebrows proudly and glanced at Shang Yueying inadvertently. Although the provocation was not obvious, it still made Shang Yueying feel very unhappy.
Snap!
Shang Yueying slammed his chopsticks on the table, glared at Lei Ren and said angrily: "Do you like it or not?"
Lei Ren opened his mouth to explain, but Murphy over there pulled him up and walked out, leaving only a depressed Shang Yueying sitting there sulking.
"Heartless, let's see how my aunt will deal with you at night!" Shang Yueying cursed in his heart, trying to turn his grief and anger into appetite, but when he saw that the chopsticks fell to the ground and were stained, he had to snort and continue to sit.
There, they kept complaining about Thunder Blade as the culprit!
"Yawn, yawn!"
Murphy saw Thunder Blade sneezing all the way, and couldn't help but asked doubtfully: "You have a cold?"
Lei Ren took the tissue handed over by Murphy and wiped his nose, and said with a wry smile: "Maybe someone missed me?"
Murphy snorted coldly and sneered disdainfully: "I don't think anyone is thinking about you, but your beautiful boss is scolding you behind the scenes!"
Lei Ren wiped his nose and said with a wry smile: "It's okay if people are in trouble, don't tear them apart?"
…
Murphy led Lei Ren to the outside of a courtyard, and then said to Lei Ren: "Go in, I'll wait for you outside."
Lei Ren took a look at the courtyard in front of him, and he still had some impression of this courtyard. It seemed to be a secret military industrial enterprise in the past, and then it was abandoned due to the relocation of the factory. Unexpectedly, it has now become the den of their gang of dragons and grandsons.
.
Lei Ren walked inside, still quite curious about the person or people waiting for him inside.
An old man sat in the middle, slowly drinking a bowl of tea. Next to him sat two middle-aged men. One of the middle-aged men was none other than Shang Yueying's father - Shang Qianxun!
Lei Ren looked at the old man in the middle, his pupils shrank violently, and the memories hidden in his mind immediately rushed out like a surge.
It was this old man, it was him, who had brought himself into the military camp, trained himself to become a soldier king, and at the same time changed his own destiny, throwing himself into a continent full of killing and blood.
Three years, three years later, Lei Ren has looked down on many things. He thought he had walked out of the prison of resentment, but until he saw the old man again, Lei Ren realized that he had not forgotten at all and could not forget - he gave himself
The kindness and hatred brought about.
Without him, I might have been dead for many years; without him, I might not be covered in injuries!
The old man gently put down his tea bowl and looked up at Lei Ren. Although his head was gray, his eyes were sharper than those of the young man, like an eagle in the sky.
"Thunder Blade, we meet again." The old man's energetic voice was incompatible with his age, but it conveyed the majesty and solemnity of a superior who is not angry and self-respecting.
After hearing the old man's words, Lei Ren calmed down and smiled at the old man: "Yes, we meet again. I remember the first time I saw you, you were drinking tea; the last time I saw you, you were drinking tea.
;In this meeting, you are still drinking tea. It seems that you like drinking tea very much."
The old man smiled and said: "Tea is one of the three major beverages in the world, with the brand of our country engraved on it. Drinking tea can help prevent aging and has health care functions. Drinking three or two cups of tea every day can prevent aging. So, I like
Drink tea, and regard drinking tea as a hobby, a kind of enjoyment, and a kind of comfort."
Lei Ren was still hungry and had no time to discuss the benefits of drinking tea with the old man. He quickly interrupted: "Let's get straight to the point! What's the matter with you going all out to trick me here?"
It’s not about mobilizing troops and mobilizing crowds!
First, he designed to kidnap Shang Yueying, then tricked himself into an abandoned warehouse, then had someone beat him up, and finally Murphy took him here. The whole process could be written as a ghost story.
The old man said to Lei Ren: "Let me introduce to you. This is Long Chuhai, the current leader of the Dragon Clan. You can call him by name directly. His master and I are close friends."
Long Chuhai said "hmm" softly, which was regarded as saying hello to Lei Ren.
"I'm afraid you can't call the other one by name directly." The old man looked at Shang Qianxun and said to Lei Ren.
In any case, Shang Qianxun, as Shang Yueying's father, is Lei Ren's elder, and Lei Ren also feels that it is inappropriate to call him by his first name.
Lei Ren waved his hand and said: "Let's talk about the matter directly. I'm still hungry now."
The old man knew Lei Ren's temper, so he just smiled softly and was not annoyed. He turned to Long Chuhai and Shang Qianxun and said, "Chuhai, Qianxun, you should tell this kid!"
Long Chuhai responded respectfully, then turned to Lei Ren and said: "Our country has a batch of goods in Australia and we need to get them back, so I thought..."
Before Long Chuhai could finish his words, he was interrupted by Thunder Blade.
Lei Ren said with a stern face: "I'm sorry, I can't help. Don't forget, I am not a soldier now, and I have no intention of rejoining the military. I am living a happy and fulfilling life now, and I enjoy my life now, just like...
Just like you like drinking tea."
Long Chuhai was very dissatisfied with Lei Ren interrupting his words in such an unruly manner, but because of the old man's face, he couldn't argue with him.
Shang Qianxun was silent when he saw Long Chuhai. He couldn't help but continued what he said: "Xiao Lei, you misunderstood. We actually have no intention of letting you join the military camp. We just want to hire you temporarily to complete this task. It is completely based on business.
In the form, you will be paid a very generous remuneration. As for your identity... you are an employee of Yunying Company, but you are going on behalf of the head office."
Shang Qianxun mentioned this matter last night, but he didn't say it in such detail.
Lei Ren sneered: "Why do you want me to go? Isn't your military department and the Dragon Clan known as the concentration camp for capable people?"
Lei Ren's words were clearly an opportunity to ridicule the incompetence of the military, especially the Dragon Clan. Dragon Clan Chief Long Chuhai's face immediately darkened, and he slammed his fists on the chair. If he wasn't worried about the old man sitting on it,
, I'm afraid he has already taken action against this boy who doesn't know the heights of heaven and earth.
At this time, the old man said slowly: "I think you are the most suitable to let you go."
"Why am I the most suitable?" Lei Ren asked calmly.
The old man said: "First of all, your skills are very powerful. It can be seen from your confrontation with the dragon elite just now. Instead of declining in the past six months, you have become stronger than before. Secondly, you have just returned from Australia.
You should be familiar with the place and it will be very beneficial to carry out the mission. The last thing is your identity. You can participate in missions as a company employee, which is much better than being a soldier."
There is no doubt that they had done a lot of work before deciding to hire Lei Ren, and they all agreed that Lei Ren was the most suitable candidate.
Lei Ren looked at the three of them and sneered: "What do you mean, do I have to go to this mission if I go, or do I have to go if I don't?"
The old man shook his head and said: "No, you are no longer a soldier, I have no right to force you. But, I hope you can seriously consider it."
Shang Qianxun continued: "Xiao Lei, we will not let you do this task in vain. As long as you do it well, we will also give you a huge reward."
"What reward?" Lei Ren sneered.
Shang Qianxun muttered: "I have seen some of your situation. I think you have earned enough in Africa in the past three years. If I give you money, I may not be able to attract you. So, as long as you can do this task well
, I can promise not to ask about you and Xiaoying. You should understand what I say."
Lei Ren sneered sarcastically: "Director Shang, can I understand that you are trading on family ties?"
Shang Qianxun nodded lightly and said, "It's understandable that you should understand this way, but for the sake of the national interest, I can do this."
"National interests?" A look of disdain flashed across Lei Ren's lips. A businessman actually kept talking about national interests.
Shang Qianxun seemed to see Lei Ren's thoughts and said calmly: "At home, you may not understand the meaning of a country's strength, but whenever you go abroad to negotiate with foreigners, you
You will understand. When your country falls behind, you are a fish
Meat can only be slaughtered by others, but you have no one to rely on. When your country is strong, you can straighten your back and negotiate with the other party on an equal footing. Therefore, I said that I do business not only to make money, but sometimes also
He will do some business that will cost him money or even his own life."
Regardless of whether what Shang Qianxun said was true, Lei Ren felt that he had really underestimated this man before.
"You don't have to answer us right away." The old man said to Lei Ren, "If you figure it out within three days, you can tell us at any time. Of course! If you want to leave the capital, we won't stop you."
After the old man finished speaking, he slowly picked up the tea bowl from the table and began to drink tea slowly without waiting for Lei Ren to speak.
Lei Ren knew that this was the old man's sign to see off his guests, so he stood up from the chair without hesitation, turned around and walked out.
After Lei Ren went out, the old man slowly put down the tea bowl in his hand and asked lightly: "Qianxun, do you think he will agree to go to sea?"
Long Chuhai shook his head and said, "This kid is unruly and I'm afraid he won't agree."
"Qianxun, what about you?" The old man did not comment on Long Chuhai's words, but turned to Shang Qianxun and asked.
Shang Qianxun muttered: "Based on my understanding of him, he probably won't agree."
The old man smiled and said: "My opinion of him is exactly the opposite of yours. My opinion is that he will eventually agree, because he has the same passion as us flowing in his bones."
Lei Ren had already walked out and did not hear the old man's comment. If he had heard it, I wonder what his expression would be.
