In front of Sophie Ladd's Pizza Restaurant, the Audi A4L stopped. The time on the phone jumped to eleven twenty-five sharp, five minutes earlier than the timetable set in Lu Mingfei's memo. If it hadn't suddenly happened at noon
There are some traffic jams on the small peak elevated road to the CBD, so they can come earlier.
But it seemed that it was useless to arrive too early, because there was no one in front of Sophie Ladd's Pizza. Lu Mingfei was sitting in the back seat, holding on to the car window and looking out. There were white radish and toilet seat next to him.
Super's living space has been squeezed into the corner for fear of damaging the 'S'-class household treasures that they bought without hesitation in the hot summer.
"What the hell, can't these people be more reliable?" Lu Mingfei muttered.
According to common sense, at a literary society gathering, a group of people would be chatting outside the gathering place early in the morning. Now, under the bright sun outside Sophie Ladd's Pizza, there was an Audi car parked here alone, which looked very eye-catching.
"Is this here?" The driver repeatedly checked the GPS navigation system, fearing that he had sent the wrong place to Uncle Lu Mingfei in the back seat.
"That's right, it's right here." Lu Mingfei nodded quickly, looked at the time and asked the female black super next to him, "What do you call it?"
"White pigeon." said the female black super.
"Qiao Ge." The male black chao quickly picked up...
"Hai Diao." The driver immediately announced his code name.
"Why do you think I'm a eagle when I get here?" Lu Mingfei's focus was never on the channel. He looked at the driver who was wearing a suit of gada meat and bulging in his suit strangely. Compared with the 'sea eagle', the 'black ape' is obviously more suitable.
He could only hold it in his stomach and dared not say some such rude and rude words.
"Different departments have different code names, which have no specific meaning." Bai Ge quickly explained.
"Oh, I understand." Lu Mingfei nodded hurriedly and looked out at the bright sun at noon. "It's already this o'clock. You guys haven't eaten yet. Why don't we go in and eat some together?"
"You mean here?" Qiao Ge, the co-pilot, looked at the facade of Sophie Ladd's Pizza through his sunglasses with his eyebrows lowered, as if he wanted to see some mystery in the simple decoration of the facade.
"My classmate said I can't leave if we have dinner here, so I think we might as well eat together in this restaurant. If you don't mind us being too noisy, you can sit somewhere else!"
Bai Ge and Qiao Ge looked at each other, then nodded in unison and replied, "I don't mind at all!"
They would not miss any opportunity to get involved with an organization like the 'Secret Party', let alone the opportunity to have lunch with the 'Butcher' for a class reunion? It's hard to say whether the so-called 'Class Reunion' is actually a 'Secret Party'.
The party gathers privately behind the scenes. If this is the case, it would undoubtedly be a great joy for them to show up.
Bai Ge and Qiao Ge's eyes deepened, and they looked at Lu Mingfei with some excitement.
Lu Mingfei was stunned for a moment. This was different from the answer he had imagined. This was his classmates' reunion, specifically a 'literary society gathering'. Shouldn't normal people subconsciously avoid suspicion after hearing this? He extended an invitation.
It was just an attempt to be polite, and as long as he was politely rejected, he could jump into the restaurant without any pressure and wait for the meal to be served. But what the hell is the situation now?
Before he could react, Bai Ge quickly opened the door and got out of the car, walked around to his side and opened the door for him. Standing beside the car, his body curves that could not be covered by his suit were straight, and his long ponytail hung neatly behind him.
The sassiness is so refreshing that it reminds people of the heroine in "The Matrix".
"please."
Standing upright under the scorching sun, the shadows on the ground were like upright javelins. White Pigeon leaned forward slightly and looked at Lu Mingfei respectfully, "Just leave your things in the car. There is no risk of losing them."
"" Qiao Ge, who was still in the passenger seat, glanced at the toilet seat and white radish placed neatly on the seat, thinking that there would probably be some unsighted car thief who broke the window just for these things, right?
"Thank you for your hard work, no problem!" Lu Mingfei said as he got out of the car, this is too honorable. It is not unreasonable for the Logistics Department to be rated as the most popular department of Kassel College for ten consecutive years!
"I went to the parking lot to park my car and surveyed the surrounding environment. On the way here, I kept feeling something was wrong. I felt like I was being followed." The driver said, looking at the only male black guy left in the car.
"Why didn't you tell me before?" Qiao Ge, who was about to get out of the car, stopped opening the door, and immediately glanced warily at the shadowless surroundings outside the car that was exposed to the sun, then looked at the driver and frowned, "Your
How accurate is your premonition?”
"Maybe it's just an illusion." The driver shook his head, "But even if the people following us are the 'Hive', they wouldn't dare to act rashly. There's nothing wrong with our car."
He said nothing, but glanced at Lu Mingfei outside the car, and his final nasal voice was full of confidence.
"That's true, but I still have to be more careful. I always feel that something is not quite right. Although we have been looking for the 'Butcher' for a long time, but suddenly we found him and he was so cooperative with us, which made me feel a little unreal.
Pigeon is already a little over the top now, we still have to keep an eye on him. When you go to park the car, report it to the headquarters and explain the situation on our side in detail so that they can make a decision and prepare for the first time with the 'Secret Party'
Prepare for the handover." Qiao Ge calmly ordered.
"No problem." The driver nodded, then watched Qiaoge get out of the car, restarted the Audi and drove slowly towards the parking lot not far away.
—
The waiter in front of Sophie Ladd's Pizza stood up straight and stared blankly at the 'great god' walking under the sun not far away.
In fact, as the most 'high-end' pizza shop and Western restaurant in the coastal city, the waiters at Sophie Ladd's Pizza have always been very discerning people. When they saw the Audi parked on the roadside, they were ready to take the initiative to ask.
He asked if he was ready to dine in our restaurant, but before he could even take a step forward, the 'female secretary' in a suit and ties who got off the car shocked him.
With that proud figure, that commanding temperament, and a capable attitude that leaves no doubt that he came from one of the top 100 private companies, this Audi doesn't look like an ordinary person sitting in the back seat!
The waiter thought about it carefully and thought to himself that the owner of this Audi must be a CEO worth hundreds of millions, so the problem naturally arises. The place where such a person should go for lunch should not be on the 22nd floor of the Twin Towers in the CBD.
A revolving restaurant? Why would you come to such a friendly place like their pizza restaurant?
The waiter was unsure for a moment, fearing that he would be troubled if he went to solicit customers. In the ten seconds he hesitated, the owner who got out of the back seat of the Audi across the street had already led the two of them this way.
!
Hey, not only was he a beautiful female secretary, she even brought a bodyguard. Male and female black super men followed behind her. The one being supported was an 18.9-year-old man wearing a white T-shirt, shorts and even sandals.
boy?
The boy walked over under the bright sun, escorted by his bodyguard and secretary, stood in front of the waiter and said, "This is Sophie Ladd's Pizza?"
"Yes, sir." The waiter replied honestly, with the pizza restaurant's sign above his head, but since he was asked a question, he had to answer.
"There's a class reunion here today at noon, right? The kind that's reserved?" Lu Mingfei asked tentatively. He was really afraid that the text message was an error. In fact, he was the only one planning to come today.
"Yes, that's right." The waiter was stunned for a moment, then his eyes lit up and he realized
No wonder you have to bring thugs and girls with you to lunch at a pizza restaurant. It’s a class reunion! These days, let alone bodyguards and secretaries, it’s very reasonable for class reunions to show off and bring a villa real estate certificate to eat pizza!
"You must be Mr. Zhao Menghua, right? We have been waiting for you for a long time. Can the kitchen start now?" The waiter politely opened the glass door and let the cold air inside blow out onto Lu Mingfei.
It felt so cool that my whole body shivered.
"I'm not Zhao Menghua. You got the wrong person, but I am indeed here to attend a class reunion." Lu Mingfei felt at ease after hearing the waiter's words. It's good that he wasn't let off. Those guys can accept being late.
.
"Come, let me take you to the private room that has been prepared first." The waiter immediately turned around and walked inside, followed by Lu Mingfei. The male and female Hei Chao behind him remained coldly silent in line with the principle of not saying more.
Followed in unison.
"Mr. Zhao's original scheduled time is 12 o'clock at noon. You came half an hour early. Do you want to serve some fruits, snacks and tea to the three of you?" the waiter walking in front of the aisle asked politely.
"Okay, okay, can I ask first if it's not included in the bill?" Lu Mingfei asked, "It's inappropriate for me to order something before anyone comes."
"Of course not, these are free gifts. As soon as Mr.'s classmates arrive, I will take them to the private room to sit down. Please wait in the private room first." The waiter showed a ten thousand service attitude, but
For the sake of Lu Mingfei's shorts and the left and right doorkeepers in suits and ties behind him, every word he said was carefully spoken.
Lu Mingfei entered the private room and realized that no one had arrived. The dozen or so chairs in front of the round table were all empty. The waiter said that the scheduled meal time was 12 noon. Chen Wenwen texted herself that it was 11 o'clock.
Half, half an hour early.
It's no wonder that Chen Wenwen lied about the military situation. Logically speaking, if Lu Mingfei hadn't taken a ride on the Logistics Department and ran to catch the bus during the traffic jam, he would have arrived here around twelve o'clock, and he might have been late.
Some
Chen Wenwen took into account his habit of being late, so she asked him to prepare half an hour in advance in the text message.
No matter how much time has passed, it is still the same as before, everything I do is done with extreme care. From the attitude of doing things, I can smell the fragrance of jasmine, which is quiet and unhurried. I think of that spotless white dress and
Literary books placed on it.
The cold wind blew across Lu Mingfei's neck, and he shivered. He quietly pulled out a chair and sat down. He didn't know whether it was because he was nervous or because the air conditioner was too low and he was facing the blow, which made some of his facial muscles stiff.
.He hadn’t seen Chen Wenwen for a long time and didn’t know what expression to use.
When people are young and ignorant about love, they will appear timid. When they grow older and love is far away, they suddenly dare to talk and have a feast. When love is blown closer by the wind, they will find that they
They have hid in their original low-lying areas again. It is not their age that pulls their courage, but the distance. No matter how old you are, when you see the cowardly person standing in front of you, you will still be nervous and cannot avoid it.
.
It was as if he had never graduated from Shilan High School. The girl who walked in from behind the private room door would still be wearing the same white floral skirt as before, with Hello Kitty hairpins in her hair, bright eyes, white teeth, and ripples.
The same eyes reflected a timid self.
The private room door was opened, and a waiter came in carrying a tray, placing the promised free refreshments on the table. The tray contained brown sugar ginger tea biscuits stacked into a small tower, and the cup contained sour plum soup to relieve the heat.
.
…hell.
Lu Mingfei stretched out his hand and rubbed the bridge of his nose. He felt inexplicably depressed and restless, but why was he anxious and nervous? Seriously speaking, he was one of the top ten outstanding students in the first year of Cassel College, and he went to Yingling.
The principal personally awarded him the Medal of Honor and the scholarship. The shiny pure gold medal set with rubies (actually a fragment of the Philosopher's Stone, Lu Mingfei didn't know) was still lying in the bottom mezzanine of his suitcase.
, even if you don’t show respect to the dragon-slaying warrior, you still have to give some respect to the heavy gold and ruby, right?
In terms of academics, he is currently studying at a top private aristocratic university certified by the Ivy League; in terms of financial resources, although he is not as good as Caesar Gattuso and Veleva Helsinki, who have a family in the first-class mines, he still earns more than 30,000 yuan a year.
Mei Dao has still received a quarter of his scholarship, so he is still young and promising; in terms of resume, the twins of the Bronze and Fire King died directly or briefly in his hands, isn't it still considered a glorious ancestor?
?It’s a pity that only the execution department will recognize this resume. If you look for a job elsewhere, you will only be considered a lunatic who escaped from a mental hospital.
No matter what they were talking about, Lu Mingfei should have the full confidence to sit here with his legs crossed like a twenty-five-eight-thousand-year-old man, waiting for his old friends to attend this gathering. But for some reason, in the air-conditioned room,
In the private room, he sat blankly at the empty table, feeling a little uncomfortable and wanting to escape from this 'class reunion' that was supposed to be his solo performance.
"There must be some special reason." Lu Mingfei murmured in a low voice that no one could hear, looking at his own eyes reflected in the dark sour plum soup.
The door opened again, and this time it was not a waiter who came in, because there should not be such a fat waiter in Sophie Ladd's Pizza House. The person who came was short and fat, with a round belly that could not be restrained by a belt, and he belonged to half a century. Heavyweight.
"What's the formation? Isn't the venue reserved? I entered the wrong door? I'm so sorry." The fat boy who came in saw the two men and women in black suits standing like rocks on the left and right sides of the seats. He was so frightened that he almost broke his belt. The buckle flew away, and he hurriedly bowed his head, apologized, and stepped back.
Before he almost closed the door and walked out, Lu Mingfei quickly stood up and held the door. He recognized the person who was Xu Yanyan! One of the twins in the class, the backbone of the literary club, and Zhao Menghua's most loyal Ma Zi , Lu Mingfei's deepest impression of him was that this guy would follow Zhao Menghua after school every day, eating and drinking. His body fat might have been gained in three years of high school.
"Lu Mingfei?" Xu Yanyan also recognized Lu Mingfei at a glance, "It's really you and I almost didn't dare to recognize him."
"I almost didn't dare to admit it." Lu Mingfei grinned and said that he was actually lying. He knew clearly why Xu Yanyan said he didn't dare to admit it. It wasn't that he had become more handsome and classy these days, but the two heroic men behind him. Hei Chao really shocked Xu Yanyan. In his perception, Lu Mingfei and the two of them had completely different styles of painting, and they should not appear in the same frame at all! This scene was much better than when he was filming "Who Killed Zhao?" "Mr." is even more outrageous.
"This is really a three-day farewell." Xu Yanyan shrank his head and looked at the two followers of "Boss Lu". The two men and women in sunglasses looked away after taking one look at him, and they were as silent as the perfect sculptures. Still standing behind the chair.
"Sit down, please all sit down." Lu Mingfei hurriedly asked Xu Yanyan and the two Hei Chao from the "Logistics Department" who were at a loss to sit down. Before they could wipe away the cold sweat, the door opened again.
