After get off work, Vladimir invited Lucy to his apartment in the Empire State Building for coffee.
Vladimir rarely invites guests to the apartment to discuss matters, only those he pays special attention to, such as partners with whom he has close relationships, such as Abdullah and Liu Zhixiong.
This apartment was recently renovated. Although he said that he likes the strong rich style, when decorating the home environment, he still chose the palace decoration style that can better represent his identity and taste.
After Lucy walked into the apartment, she couldn't help but be amazed at the decoration style and level of the apartment, which covered an area of nearly one thousand square meters.
At present, the highest price of an apartment in the Imperial Hotel has reached 200,000 US dollars per square meter. After all, it is known as the safest high-end apartment in Europe.
"Mr. Vladimir, I'm afraid I won't be able to buy your apartment in my lifetime." Cheryl said jokingly.
"I thought you were not a superficial person, but I saw the wrong person." He also joked, "You must know that your status as a mid-level police officer in Yingguo cannot be bought with money, Officer Cheryl.
"
Cheryl knew that Vladimir was eloquent, but she was still a little surprised by his jokes today. In her impression, businessmen seemed to be cold, ruthless and greedy.
"When you say that, I should be proud of my status as a police officer?"
"That's necessary. Okay, let's stop teasing each other and try this coffee. It's freshly ground and flown in from Havana."
"I thought you would treat me to a drink at the cafe in the building, but I never thought it would be in your private apartment."
"This will show my sincerity, what do you think?"
"That's true." Cheryl felt that Vladimir was actually not difficult to get along with.
The two chatted for a while, and before Vladimir asked, Cheryl took the initiative to tell her about the rumor she had told that afternoon.
"I almost forgot if you didn't tell me." Vladimir patted his head gently.
In fact, he had not forgotten it. Instead, he was quite curious about the rumor. However, he also understood that it was impossible for him to take the initiative to ask Cheryl. Otherwise, it would be easy for Cheryl to feel that he was unstable. Therefore, just now
That series of conversations were all carefully designed by him. Currently, he just wants Cheryl to follow his train of thought and speak out on her own initiative.
"Many of my colleagues now say, half jokingly and half seriously, that you engineered the Empire State Building crisis yourself."
"Haha..." Vladimir couldn't help laughing after hearing this.
"What? Is it really true?" After finishing speaking, Cheryl picked up the coffee and took a sip. Not to mention, the coffee beans moistened under the sunshine of Havana really tasted great.
"I won't answer this. Anyway, I think you dug a hole for me on purpose." For this kind of question, the shrewd Vladimir will naturally not answer it. In short, yes or no is not a perfect answer.
"Do you think I dug a hole for you?" Cheryl said with a smile.
"That's not true. In fact, I respect you very much. Do you know why?" After saying that, he stared at Cheryl closely, making Cheryl feel very embarrassed.
"I don't know." Cheryl shook her head and said, "You're not kidding me, are you?"
"Because you are a very good policeman, approachable, unlike Pete and others who look arrogant and rude."
"That's what Pete's character is. By the way, Vladimir, do you think Pete has some hatred for rich people?"
Although he didn't interact with Officer Pete many times, this guy would leave a deep impression on him almost every time. Therefore, when Cheryl asked such a question, he nodded without hesitation, "That's right.
, I feel that he really hates the rich."
Cheryl couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Actually, he has a reason."
"Psychologically traumatized?"
"That's right. He's divorced. His ex-wife is getting married to a rich man and doesn't care about the child at all. Now the child has leukemia and needs a lot of money for treatment. Although our police's treatment is good, we still can't afford such trouble."
Cheryl also told Pete's story.
"Even though Pete was short of money, he enforced the law impartially and never did anything illegal or unethical without conscience."
In his words, Vladimir seemed to be able to tell that although Cheryl's rank was higher than that of Pete, she still admired him quite a lot.
During this chat with Cheryl, Vladimir also had a pretty good understanding of Pete’s situation. Pete was older than Cheryl, but his rank was not as high as hers. The main reason was that he was a retired soldier.
Cheryl, on the other hand, graduated from a regular police college, so she naturally had a natural advantage over Peter in terms of promotion.
"What about his child? He's still in the hospital?"
"I was sent to the hospital again yesterday. This time I have to have an operation. Otherwise..., well, this time it will cost a lot of money."
"What hospital?"
"The Christie Hospital."
"Why not these top hospitals in Wellington?"
The Ivan family donates millions of dollars every year to top private hospitals in Europe and the United States such as Wellington Hospital. Naturally, the family and senior officials also enjoy top-notch medical services.
In European and American countries, the medical level of private hospitals is much higher than that of public hospitals.
"You can't get into Wellington Hospital at all. The fees there are higher, and for someone like him who has no connections, he will probably have to queue for a long time."
"Do you want to save his daughter?" Suddenly, Vladimir said seriously.
Cheryl did not hesitate and nodded subconsciously.
"In this way, I will help him solve all the problems of treatment, but I will not come forward. I need you to come forward, how about it?"
"Really? Mr. Vladimir." Cheryl did not expect that he would generously propose the idea of helping Peter.
"What's the point of lying to you?"
Cheryl nodded: "Well, that's true."
"I'll ask someone to contact Wellington Hospital as soon as possible."
"It would be great if I could help him, Mr. Vladimir."
Vladimir is not a person who procrastinates, and his style of doing things belongs to the type of saying something and doing it immediately.
He called the butler Sergey over, and after a few simple words of arrangement, Sergey immediately started to do it.
In less than ten minutes, Sergey reported that Wellington Hospital had taken care of it.
Cheryl had no idea that he would finish the job at Wellington Hospital in less than ten minutes.
She couldn't help but have an infinite fondness for Vladimir.
"Cheryl, don't let it slip." Vladimir couldn't help but warn her again when he sent her to the parking lot of the Imperial Hotel.
Cheryl nodded and said she would not let anything slip.
Getting into the car, Cheryl decided to go to Christie Hospital to find Pete now.
